The Taunton City Council blames itself for waiting too long to prevent a clinic for recovering drug addicts to locate on Main Street.
The Taunton City Council blames itself for waiting too long to prevent a clinic for recovering drug addicts to locate on Main Street.
No one with any knowledge of the concerns and fears of most people would suggest Main Street as an ideal site for a methadone clinic.
This is especially so of a Main Street that is trying to entice businesses to occupy vacant Main Street stores, of which there are far too many.
But unless there is something like last minute negotiations with Taunton State Hospital and the city, this what is going to happen. The state provided space there for the out-of-sight-out-of-mind clinic after previous attempts to locate it elsewhere in the city failed two years ago.
TSH buildings are being razed now, and the clinic was in one of them.
Knowing it couldn't prevent the clinic from coming to Main Street, the council directed Kevin Scanlon, director of planning, to come up with a zoning law that would prevent something like this from happening again.
In the debate, Councilor Sherry Costa-Hanlon stated the case for a majority of the council. The council, she said, should have passed such an ordinance two years ago.
"We all saw it coming," she said.
Not all agreed. Councilor Thomas Hoye voted against approving the ordinance, explaining, "I think it sends the wrong message."
It does, but it's a message the council wanted sent.
Councilor Jody Fiore said that citing the possibility of recovering addicts loitering in front of the clinic and making it uncomfortable for people walking by was a matter of proper police protection.
Councilor Deborah Carr countered that police already have too much to do to expect them to chase away loiterers.
A message that was missed: Those fighting a drug addiction need more than a council on their side.

During his 10-and-a-half hour filibuster in opposition to the Patriot Act, Senator Paul boldly asserted that the Constitution protects individual rights not expressly listed in its text, including the "right to privacy." As Senator Paul put it, "Few and limited [are] the powers given to the government. But it's the opposite with your rights. Your rights are many and infinite."

Conservative Republicans are trumpeting the resounding election victory of the British Conservative Party as a triumph of kindred souls. Not so fast. At least in regard to environmental policy, the two Conservative parties bear little resemblance.
The narrative playing out in the media and in state capitals across the country is that LGBT freedom advances only at the detriment of religious liberties, and vice versa. That doesn't have to be the case. By bringing both sides together with mutual respect, we were able to move Utah in the right direction.
A "Buffalo Jump" is a cliff where Native Americans killed bison in mass quantities. They stampeded the bison over the cliff while others waited below to kill the disabled animals with spears and bows.
The way to prevent further disenchantment with organized religion among young people is for religious leaders and laypeople alike to sever the exclusive link between religion and conservative politics in the United States.
Activists can improve their alternative media success by embracing alternative currencies like Bitcoin. I live in Britain where I've just witnessed an entire generation of activists get their clock's cleaned by a Conservative sweep in the May 7th Parliamentary elections.
In its simplest form, sustainability means greater efficiency and cutting waste to preserve both the natural environment and money. This is not a leftist agenda, but an alignment with both conservative and liberal values.
It's a long-running debate: Are rich people more conservative, and particularly more likely to be Republican? The answer is yes, and a large literature establishes this, but the debate still rages on, driven partially by the cognitive biases of elite commentators.
The more active America's foreign policy, the more the U.S. has to spend on the military: the "defense" budget is the price of Washington's foreign policy. American military personnel and contractors die. Enemies are created. A national security state develops.

In the past year or so, there has been a tendency for white people opposed to any outcry against police brutality and ongoing racial discrimination to invoke MLK's words about the content of character being the yardstick to judge a man instead of skin color.
Explaining why Dr. Carson was disinvited from speaking at the Southern Baptist Convention last month, Baylor University History Professor Thomas S. Kidd writes "Carson has also made statements about Muslims, Jews and Christians all being "God's children," perhaps implying that there are multiple paths to God."
At the core of the debate between liberals and conservatives is a dispute over whose policies are better for economic growth, and particularly for the middle class. A new studyby Bryan Dettrey and Harvey D. Palmer suggests one way to test this question -- by examining how economic growth differs under Republican and Democratic presidencies.

If there were ever a buyer who got a charge from an apartment, we suspect it was Gary Segal, president of the electrical contractor company Five Star Electric, who just bought a highly buzzed Battery Park City penthouse duplex for $11.6 million.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences condo, at 10 West St., was originally listed in 2010 for $7.9 million, taken off the market in 2011 and relisted in February for $11.7 million.
The 3,600 square foot unit comes with a terrace.
Five Star's clients include Madison Square Garden, Citi Field and Carnegie Hall, according to their website. Segal and broker Paolo Zampolli, co-chairman of the Paramount Group, did not return calls.
The sellers were Loren and JR Ridinger, co-founders of the marketing company Market America.
The couple also owns a bigger unit at Jean Nouvel's 100 11th Avenue that they bought a couple of years ago which had an asking price around $22 million.
Loren, who spent $500,000 on her daughter's bat mitzvah in 2005, pals around with Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria. She reportedly let La La Anthony crash with her during La La's marital troubles last year.

Congress seeks job discrimination ban based on sexual orientation or gender identity
Legislation that would bar employers from discriminating against workers based on their sexual orientation or gender identity was introduced Thursday in Congress.
There is no federal law prohibiting that kind of employment discrimination. In 29 states, it's legal for an employer to refuse to hire somebody — or fire them — because they are gay. And in 34 states, transgender people can legally be discriminated against at the workplace.

"I have some of these lables myself. A friend of mine saw it from the mail ad had to have some. So, I gave her some for her birthday. So incredibely classy. They came in the mail so fast as well. I would order these in a hearbeat again. You won't be disappointed. Customer service is great."
"the stickers stick nicely and are ever so cute with coordinating invitations. I utilized the same coloring "Purple" for title and "White" for address."
"great print quality - reads clearly -I was very satisfied even though the item is a little pricey. I'd rather spend the money on these labels than received inferior labels (as was my last experience with another company)"
"I love to write letters on beautiful paper and have been searching for a return lable worthy of the envelope. When these arrived I knew I made the right choice. The qualtiy of the paper, priniting and design were perfect. If you are looking for truely exceptional quality you will not be disappointed. I purchased several sets both as return labels and as pre-printed mailing labels for the people I write to most."

Rep. Tim Moore, R-Elizabethtown (26th District) announced the filing of House Bill 485, which if passed would direct any state, county or local government agency who determines that an illegal alien has been receiving any care, education, housing, incarceration, or treatment paid for by Kentucky tax dollars to persuade the Attorney General to seek reimbursement from the Federal government for those funds.
Two Hardin County residents arrested on sex charges involving a minor pleaded not guilty Tuesday and will remain free on bail.
Jeffrey Mark Farmer, 46, of Elizabethtown, and Christin Nicole Dague, 26, of Radcliff, entered separate pleas Tuesday morning when they were arraigned in Circuit Court.
Both defendants were arrested Feb. 8 at their residences and charged with Class B felonies of complicity to commit use of a minor in a sexual performance and complicity to commit promoting a sexual performance by a minor.
A tumultuous relationship between the Hodgenville Main Street/Renaissance organization and Mayor Terry Cruse came to a head Monday night when the mayor dissolved the volunteer group.
Kentucky Main Street began in 1979 as a way to channel state grants and volunteerism into improving downtowns. During the last five years, Hodgenville Main Street has received grants to renovate a restaurant and improve storefronts in the downtown.
Cruse read a prepared statement to City Council and members of Main Street in attendance.
The LaRue County Chamber of Commerce holds true to its mission of supporting local business and the community by hosting many events that are informative and entertaining.
Each semester college students purchase textbooks to accompany their upcoming classes. The books are often mandatory and carry a hefty price tag.
Some students will use these books, others will not, but either way they're stuck to pay the price. The only incentive of the purchase is that at the end of the semester most college bookstores have a "book buyback." Although buy back pricing is severely lower than original purchase price, it gives students a little money in their pocket … sometimes.
For the very first time ever, LaRue County Middle School has formed a Community Problem Solving Team. Community Problem Solving provides one of the most significant learning experiences available to students confronting real-life problems. It's also about students generating and developing a sense of environmental and community awareness.
Elizabethtown's National Active and Retired Federal Employees Chapter 1050 met Feb 7 at Nolin RECC.
The Chapter held their quarterly potluck and 41 members attended. Chapter president Kay Bennett announced that the NARFE State Convention would be April 12-14 at the Clarion in Lexington. Anyone wishing to be a delegate or attend must notify her no later than March 7. Chapter 1050 will pay the registration fee for those wanting to be delegates.
In a down economy Americans are saving more, but their level of savings may not be enough to help them navigate through an unforeseen financial hardship.
America Saves Week and Kentucky Saves Week, the state level campaign, were created to encourage people to find ways to save more, whether that's building a savings account or emergency fund or paying off credit card debt. This year, the week is Feb. 20-27.
Last week, two new flags – the American flag and P.O.W. flag – were cut down and taken from the pole outside American Legion Post 87 in Hodgenville. A section of rope was cut and left on the ground.
Long-time Legion member Tom Brett said the flags were valued at about $75. Total replacement cost will run about $125.
Volunteer firefighters used a ladder truck to hang the original flags. Brett said the Legion would need assistance from someone with a boom truck to hang the replacements.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.
Region: Oregon
Oregon today has a thriving and unique wine industry, quite unlike that found in other areas of the United States. With a particularly strong organic, vegan and biodynamic wine industry currently gaining world wide attention, Oregon is home to many trailblazers and alternative wineries keen to experiment with the vines which thrive so well in the valleys and mountainsides which characterise their region. Oregon is best known for their Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir varietal grapes, which produce elegant wines packed full of bright and interesting fruit flavours, although a wide range of classic grape varietals grow across the state. With over three hundred wineries currently operating in Oregon, and many more set to open, this is a New World wine region to watch out for now and in the near future.
Country: United States
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
Appellation: Willamette Valley
The beautiful state of Oregon is home to many productive and important wine producing regions, and one of the most important and widely renowned is Willamette Valley, a lush and fertile region internationally famed for its high quality, flavorful and characterful Pinot Noir wines. Willamette Valley is an ideal location for the Pinot Noir grape, as the long, hot summers and balmy ripening seasons allow the grapes to reach full ripeness, and express their deliciously luxurious flavors and aromas. However, plenty of other grape varietals also thrive in Willamette Valley, and the region is renowned for its dedication to quality, experimentation and innovation, with many wineries increasingly keen to expand their portfolios and show the world just how good and varied the Oregon wine scene can be.

Breaking up the U.K.'s banks could create more risk, HSBC CEO Michael Geoghegan said in a speech before Britain's Independent Commission on Banking was set to assess the structure of the industry and whether banks were too powerful. A bank breakup would lead to less diversification, which could drive systemic risk, explained Geoghegan, who is set to step down from his post at the end of this year.

@ Mt Clemens Regulars
Last Saturday the Saginaw Old Golds travelled to Charlevoix to play a double header against the Petoskey Mossbacks on the grounds of the Castle Farm Historical Site. For the first time all year the Golds defense came alive to shut down the Mossbacks 25-1 and 14-1 to win their first double header of the year.
The hitting stars in game one were Devon Funchion going 6 for 8 with a double, Adam McCauley 6 for 7, and Bryce Funchion 6 for 7. John Piersall and Ducky Mahan pitched the team to victory.
Game 2 had Brandon Daig going 5 for 5 with a double and starred in the outfield with four putouts. Keith Manning was also 5 for 5 with two RBIs and two runs scored. The defensive play of the game was made by Devon Funchion at first base as he snagged a line shot. To even out the playing field Richard "Dos Equis" Curry inserted himself into the lineup. He did his rendition of batting like Grandma Moses as he went 1 for 5 in a pathetic effort to knock the ball out of the infield. Needless to say there were no runs scored, no RBIs as Richard is living proof why he should be managing instead of playing.
The Golds who have had a lopsided home and away schedule which has resulted in two games played in Saginaw and 13 on the road, again hit the streets as they travel to Mt. Clements on July 11. The Golds' record now stands at 9 and 5. Richard Curry: "The way our team is playing now defensively, I have full confidence we'll arrive at the World Tournament with another sincere effort at making it our sixth World Championship in seven years."
Richard Curry
We can now add the Michigan Cup to the Saginaw Old Golds list of recent give backs. Inconsistent play followed the Golds to Wyandotte this last Saturday as they dropped an 11-6 game to the Stars (the 1st Golds' loss there in 8 years). The fielding resembled a Moe/Larry/Curley Movie. Before Adam McCauley was reinstalled as catcher, the previous two let by more passed balls than a pin ball machine. Third base saw balls going through his legs similar to Dustin Johnson putts going past the cup in the U.S. Open. On a positive note Bryce "Bolt" Funchion had a great day going 5 for 5, with 2 putouts, and a stolen base. Jon Smith was 3 for 5, a double, stolen base, & 4 put outs. For the season the batting regulars have been led by Nate Hall (.670BA) in 10 games. Jon Smith has hit .620 in 12 games and Jerry Endert in 12 games is batting a .610 clip.
The Golds (7-5 record) take to the road again Saturday (6/27/2015) for a double header with Petoskey @ noon in Charlevoix.

I asked for a credit to fix some things that the inspector pointed out.
Real Estate Attorney
Inspection credits will appear as reductions to the amount you will pay AT CLOSING. So, if the purchase price is $100,000 and the Seller agrees to a $10,000 credit to cover all inspection issues, you would only have give the Seller $90,000 at closing (this is a simplified example to demonstrate the point as there are many other closing costs that you will pay at closing Ina addition to the actual purchase price).
Real Estate Attorney
I agree with Layni S Rothbury, but have a question for you. Do you not have an attorney representing you? Seems like a question your own attorney would have been happy to answer. I hope you are not doing this without an attorney.
My answer is for general purposes only and is not not intended to establish an attorney-client relationship, nor is it advice upon which you should act or rely. But, if you really want me to tell you something upon which you can actually rely: don't eat yellow snow.
Business Attorney
I agree with the other attorneys. If you are getting a mortgage, make sure your lender is okay with a seller's credit. Good luck.
DISCLAIMER: Please be advised that this post is not intended to constitute legal advice and is for informational purposes only. This posting in no way creates an attorney client relationship. You should contact an attorney to protect your interests.
Litigation Lawyer
The credit needs to be confirmed in writings exchanged by both parties. This is typically done between the attorneys representing both parties - the buyer's attorney writes a letter requesting the credit in specific $$ amount, and the seller's attorney confirms his/her client's acceptance in writing. The credit is applied as a deduction of the amount due at closing, and will be reflected on the HUD-1 real estate closing form.

1998 Chevrolet Blazer Q&A
1998 Chevrolet Blazer Question: chevrolet blazer wont start need help
My blazer wont turn over at all but all the lights come on inside and out and the radio works and its not the starter already tested it any other ideas what it might be? - moodster123
3 Answers
Answer 3
It is very possible that either the starter is not grounded to the engine block or the wires going to the starter have a short in them. Another possibility is that the relay is bad which is located under the hood in the fuse panel. Swap the ac relay and the starter relay. They are the same relays which makes this possible. Take your starter out and sand the part that the bolts go through were they touch the block. And if not the case is a voltmeter to check for power going to the starter. If no power follow the wires to make sure there is no short or break in wires. - blazer5920

Sorbitol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) that is used as sugar substitute and laxative. The taste of sorbitol compares to about 60% as sweet as table sugar (sucrose), but contains only 2.6 calories per gram as compared to 4 calories per gram for sucrose. Unlike many common sugars, such as fructose or sucrose, sorbitol does not contribute to tooth decay. Sorbitol is largely used as a humectant in many types of products to maintain moisture content. The moisture-stabilizing and textural properties of sorbitol are used in the production of confectionery, baked goods and chocolate where products tend to become dry or harden. Its moisture-stabilizing action protects these products from drying and maintains their initial freshness during storage. Additionally, sorbitol a stable and chemically unreactive compound. It can withstand high temperatures and does not participate in Maillard (browning) reactions. This is an advantage, for example, in the production of cookies where a fresh color with no appearance of browning is desired. *NOTE: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

4 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures 'PATENtEnm is m2 FIG. I
THREE-AMPLIFIER GYRATOR CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present invention is generally related to circuitry described and claimed in my copending application Ser. No. 828,327, filed May 27, 1969, entitled BroadBand Gyrator Circuit;" circuitry described and claimed in my copending application Ser. No. 38,710, filed May 19, 1970, (W.E. Case No. 4l ,308), entitled A Broadbanded Voltage-To-Current Converter; both applications being assigned to the present assignee.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION I 1. Field olthc lnvention The present invention relates generally to gyrntors and more particularly relates to a wide band gyrator utilizing three identical amplifiers.
2. Description of the Prior Art The ideal gyrator, when loaded at one port with a capacitor, would have a zero resistance and an admittance whichis constant at the other port. In such a manner, a pure inductance would appear at the output port when the gyrator is loaded with a capacitance at its input port. At the same time it is desirable that a gyrator utilize the fewest number of circuit components. Such components should also be capable of being economically and efficiently manufactured in monolithic form.
Although loading one port with a capacitor causes the other port to behave like an inductor, the effective inductance is associated with a negative series resistance whose magnitude increases with the square of the frequency. If the magnitude of the negative resistance is unbounded, networks using such a gyrator can achieve only conditional stability at best. The problems resulting front a pure negative resistance occurring in a gyrator is more fully set forth in my article entitled Gyrator Bandwidth Limitations," IEEE Transactions on Circuit Theory, page 501, Dec. 1968.
Prior art circuitry attempting to solve these problems requires a large number of circuit components and, in monolithic form, a large chip size, with a consequent decrease in the manufacturing yield.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Briefly, the present invention provides a gyrator of three identical amplifiers with substantially the same single dominant pole and each being of the inverting type with high input and output impedances. The second and third amplifiers are connected in cascade combination across the first amplifier. A gain-controlling resistor connects the common junction of the second and third amplifiers to a point of reference potential. The excursion of the negative resistance (when the gyrator is used to provide inductance) is bounded so that, when desired, a small positive resistance may be placed in the external circuit of the gyrator to produce unconditional stability at all frequencies.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the prior art;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an illustrious embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a graphical illustration of the frequency behavior of the negative resistance when practicing the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is an electrical schematic diagram of circuit implementation of the present invention.
DESCRlPTlON OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Prior art circuitry for attaining an ideal gyrator is as illustrated in FIG. 1. A gyrator is a nonreciprocal two-port device,
having an input impedance which is proportional to its load admittance. Hence, one port of the gyrator behaves like an inductance when the other port is loaded with a capacitance. Referring to the prior art circuitry of FIG. ll, the gyrator is made by paralleling two transconductances g and g The first transconductance g, is a transistorized noninverting amplifier the frequency response of which has a single dominant pole and which further has a high input and a high output impedance. The negative transconductance "g utilizes an inverting amplifier 4 similar to the amplifier 2.
The present invention attains a much higher integrated circuit yield by utilizing three identical amplifiers. Each of the amplifiers l2, l4 and I6 is selected to he of the inverting type with high input and output impedanccs and has n frequency response containing substantially the stone single dominant pole. A resistor l8 connects the common junction 19 of the cascaded amplifiers l4 and 16 to a point of reference potential or ground 20.
The resistor 18 of magnitude R converts the amplifier 16 into an inverting voltage amplifier. Further, since the resistor 18 can be mounted external to the integrated circuit, its temperature coefficient of resistance can be chosen to compensate gain drift. The voltage at node 19 is proportional to R,,,, so R,, adjusts the gain (or g of 16.
Additionally, the present invention alleviates the negativeresistance problem which arises in the prior art circuitry of FIG. 1. Suppose that one port 22 is loaded with a capacitance, C, as indicated at 24. Then the impedance looking into the other port 26 will be where S=jw is the frequency variable; g,, is the magnitude of the forward transconductance of the gyrator; and g is the magnitude of the backward transconductance. If the mag nitude of the resistor 18 is chosen to be identified as R,, to give the amplifier 16 a unity voltage gain, then:
where the transconductance bandwidth is normalized for w 1, m being the 3 db. down frequency.
Substituting these equations into Equation 1 gives For the input impedance Z to be an ideal inductance it would be necessary for the resistance R, to be zero and the reactance X, to be a constant. At the 3 db. down frequency normalized at unity, the resistance R willl have a value Hence, it can be seen that the resistor R has a magnitude of zero at zero frequency. As the angular frequency increases, the resistance becomes more negative until, at a magnitude R,,= V 3/2, the maximum negative value of the resistance will be R,,,,,,=9/4 (8) The magnitude of the resistive part R of the input impedance will then become less negative for increasing an ular frequency w. The magnitude becomes zero for m= 3, and will be positive at higher frequencies as shown by the plot of F IG. 3.
Because the negative excursion of the resistance R,, is bounded, a small positive resistance in the external circuit of the gyrator will produce unconditional stability at all frequencies.
An amplifier capable of ready reduction to monolithic form for use in triplicate in accordance with the illustration of FIG. 2 is presented in FIG. 4. The input voltage e at 30 drives a modified differential amplifier 32, so that the amplified voltage appears at the base of transistor 34. Transistor 34 provides an adequate base to collector DC voltage for the transistor 0;. The transistor 34 also serves to unload the output of the differential amplifier 32, and to increase the feedback voltage. Transistor 34 drives the output transistor Q Since the collector impedance of the transistor Q is very high, typically about 20 megohms, and since the impedance of the current source, CS is of about the same magnitude, the output current i behaves in the proper fashion. That is, an output current i at an impedance level about 10 megohms, is provided which is proportional to the input voltage e An essential feature of this circuit is that the emitter signal voltage of transistor 0,, which is very nearly equal to the base signal voltage of transistor 34, is suitable for negative feedback. All of this voltage is fed back to the differential amplifier 32 at the base of the transistor This feedback voltage is proportional to the output current, i It serves to increase the linearity and the thermal stability of the ratio i le Since the output current i, is approximately equal to e /R the resistor R may, when desired, be external to the integrated circuit chip. in such a manner the user will have the opportunity to supply a stable resistor R of his own choosing to obtain any desired temperature coefficient.
Dependence of i,/e, on diffused resistor'ratios must also be avoided for high stability. Accordingly, the trarrsgtor is biased with resistor R and the current source CS, for zero direct current at both input and output. From the input terminal 30, the'impedance of the current source CS is in the order of megohms. Since resistor R is less than 10,000 ohms, the signal attenuation is very small, and so does not depend on diffused resistors, or on their ratios.
Accordingly, the circuitry of FIG. 4 may be utilized in monolithic form with the resistor R, when desired being external to the chip. For the amplifier 16 of FIG. 2, the resistor 18 having a magnitude R,,, will be chosen to connect the output terminal 36 to the point of reference potential 20.
While the present invention has been described with a degree of particularity for the purposes of illustrations, it is to be understood that all modifications, alterations'and substitutions within the spirit and scope of the present invention are herein meant to be included.
said second and third amplifiers to a point of reference potential.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said first amplifier provides an inverting transconductance; said second and third amplifiers connected in cascade providing a noninverting transconductance.
3. The combination of claim 2 wherein said gain-controlling resistor is selected to provide said transconductance of opposite sense to be directly proportional to the magnitude of said resistor.
4. The combination of claim 1 wherein said gain-controlling resistor is a positive valued resistor external to the circuit of the gyrator and being of a magnitude of 9/4 ohms or less connected in circuit combination with the resistive port of the input impedance for a unitized frequency to reduce the negative excursion of the resistance of the gyrator whereby stability is attained at all frequencies.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Taiwanese phone manufacturer HTC has confirmed that 16 of its smartphones will receive the update to Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, the company said in a blog post today. Ice Cream Sandwich includes a much more beautiful design and new features like a better web browser and facial recognition unlocking. We previously have seen estimates from Verizon and Motorola about their respective updates to Ice Cream Sandwich on Android phones and tablets. Now we have HTC adding its own devices to the conversation, although Verizon had already indicated four HTC devices would get the update. The company describes the timing of delivering the important update as such: As for timing, we're in the early stages of rolling out Android 4.0 for the HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE and upgrades will be more widely available in the next few weeks. The update for the HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XL will follow. Please note, once we start pushing out updates it will take time for all carriers in each country to get the update. We are working closely with our carrier partners to nail down update schedules for our other smartphones and will have more to share very soon. And here's the list of devices getting the update: • DROID Incredible 2 by HTC • HTC Amaze 4G • HTC Desire S • HTC Desire HD • HTC EVO 3D • HTC EVO Design 4G • HTC Incredible S • HTC Sensation • HTC Sensation XL • HTC Sensation 4G • HTC Sensation XE • HTC Raider • HTC Rezound • HTC Rhyme • HTC Thunderbolt • HTC Vivid VentureBeat is holding its second annual MobileSummit this April 2-3 in Sausalito, Calif.

One man's Week 5 NFL picks, made while trying to figure out why Randy Moss isn't still in New England. According to Bill Belichick, the trade "wasn't about contract or money."
So what happened? They decided Taylor Price and Brandon Tate were better bets to draw double-teams and average a TD catch a game? Look, I know Belichick didn't want to tell the truth (sorry for the spoiler) about what really went down, but why go out Thursday and take the angle he took? Just another bizarre twist in a strange 48 hours.
To the picks we go (and you can book an 11-3 week, I feel less stress without Moss and his contract issues hanging over me) …
CINCINNATI (-7) over Tampa Bay
Marvin Lewis has been the coach of the Bengals since 2003. He's coached 116 games and his record is 58-57-1. I think 116 NFL games at .500 is a big enough sample size to know that this isn't the guy that's going to win the last game of the season. Only Jeff Fisher, Andy Reid, Belichick and John Fox have been with their teams longer. Of course, those four have combined for 34 playoff wins, or 34 more playoff wins than Marvin Lewis. But he'll move two games above .500 on Sunday, the Bucs just don't score enough (16.7 points per game) to hang in with the Bengals.
WASHINGTON (+2.5) over Green Bay
"Mike and I are on the same page. We got no issues. … I get paid to play the game, and Mike gets paid to be the head coach. So, I know my role, and he knows his. I know where I'm at on the chain." -- Aaron Rodgers
Done and done. We know that always ends well.
I just don't trust the Packers. Just when I'm starting to get the playoff loss to the Cardinals out of my head (gave up 531 yards of offense and 51 points) and warm to the idea that they might be a real Super Bowl threat after a 2-0 start, they lose at Chicago (thanks to 18 penalties and Mike McCarthy wasting a fourth-quarter timeout after losing a challenge on an obvious fumble from James Jones -- I don't know his record, but McCarthy is the worst challenge coach I've ever seen. If he were the coach of the Lakers in 1977 he would have tossed the replay flag because he felt Rudy Tomjanovich was flopping) and beat the Lions by two at home. Other than preseason hype, I see no reason to think that the Packers are a better football team than the Redskins through four weeks.
INDIANAPOLIS (-8) over Kansas City
Look, here's how the Chiefs keep this close: Lots and lots of Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles against a Colts defense that has allowed 150 rushing yards per game this season. Keep Peyton Manning off the field and dominate time of possession. But while it wouldn't stun me if this is "Colts 17, Chiefs 13," with eight minutes left, I just think after that loss to Jacksonville the Chiefs picked the wrong week to roll into Indy.
Atlanta (-2.5) over CLEVELAND
If you're the Browns, why exactly do you go back to Jake Delhomme? Is he going to play any better than Seneca Wallace has over the last two weeks (36-54, two TDs and one INT vs. the Ravens and Bengals)? Delhomme is 35 years old, injured, and coming off a season where he threw 18 picks and just eight touchdowns. Wallace is maybe an average NFL QB, but he gives them the best chance to win right now.
BALTIMORE (-7.5) over Denver
It's early enough in the season for the media to overreact about a quarterback's performance, good or bad. Kyle Orton is off to a nice start, but he's 28 years old and has never come close to keeping up this pace for a full season. But because it's the first four weeks of a season people want to believe that this is a "new Orton." If he did this from Week 9-12 last year no one would've noticed. This happens all the time. Here's Peter King handing out his MVP of the first quarter of the 2008 season:
"My MVP is tied for 12th in touchdown passes with four, 10th in passing yards with 930 and 10th in passer rating at 93.5. But the Bills are 4-0, and the difference is an efficient quarterback who, like all the great ones, plays better when the game's on the line than any other time of the game."
Yup, Trent Edwards. Think "SI's First-Quarter MVP in 2008" will make his bio in the media guide for the 2012 Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL?
HOUSTON (-2.5) over New York Giants
I thought the Bears were a soft 3-0, so I don't put a lot of stock into the Sack Fest (not to be confused by what we all saw on Deadspin Thursday afternoon) on Sunday night. The Giants just are not clicking offensively (20th in points scored, Eli is 19th in passer rating) and I don't think they'll be able to keep up with a Texans offense that ranks fourth in the league in points.
St. Louis (+2.5) over DETROIT
My 2010 NFC West champions getting two and a half points against a team that has lost 41 of 44? That's getting close to Lock of The Week territory.
Jacksonville (PK) over BUFFALO
The Bills have allowed 473 yards rushing over the last two weeks and Maurice-Jones Drew has rushed for 193 yards over the last two weeks. In a pick 'em game that's just too much to overlook.
CAROLINA (+1.5) over Chicago
Admit it, you didn't know Todd Collins was still in the NFL. He starts for the Bears Sunday, which will be his 20th on-field appearance since 1998, that magical time when there were no "Star Wars" prequels and we all still believed when Rick Pitino told us that Andrew DeClercq was a perfect fit for the system.
New Orleans (-7.5) over ARIZONA
Max Hall would have been a perfect name for a sportswriter in the 1940s but I have no idea if he's going to be a legitimate NFL quarterback. Tough first career start vs. a New Orleans team that is still looking for a 2010 breakout game from its offense. Hard to imagine that this won't be the kind of game that FOX cuts away from in the middle of the third quarter with the Saints up three or four touchdowns.
San Diego (-6) over OAKLAND
OK, so I'm 19-26-1 in picks this season (20-26-1 if you count my choice of Europe to win the Ryder Cup, which I will). Not good, and really, when you think about it, who the hell am I to bash Marvin Lewis? At least he's above .500. I'm killing the Bengals for giving him eight years, how much longer can Ben Bradlee Bradford send me out to make lousy picks? I'm touched by the loyalty, though. I'm Butch Hobson to his Don Zimmer.
But I am 3-0 on Locks of the Week, and I'm banking on the Chargers for win No. 4. The Chargers are at 2-2, but they are first in the NFL in total offense (450.8 yards per game, 35 more than any other team) and second in total defense (238.0 yards allowed per game). The lone bright spot for the Raiders this year has been the huge jump from "a year away from bust" to "Hey, this is the guy we thought we were getting when we picked him fourth overall!" courtesy of Darren McFadden. But it looks like he's out Sunday (hamstring).
(And yes, I know that if I lose my Lock of the Week perfect streak because I picked a Norv Turner team on the road I have no one to blame but myself. But doesn't Tom Cable wash Norv out? Always the best argument: The other coach is at least as crappy. Stunning that I'm seven under .500 this year.)
Tennessee (+8) over DALLAS
Hey, why hasn't Vince Young returning to the city where he shoved a woman during a brawl at a strip club been mentioned as much as McNabb going back to Philly was last week? I'm a sucker for reunion stories. Here's hoping CBS plays it up big during the game. I demand at least one Jim Nantz pun after a TD ("Young is allowed to touch … DOWN!").
SAN FRANCISCO (+3) over Philadelphia
Because the Eagles have to fly cross-country, Kevin Kolb must feel like he's Andy Reid's rebound date, the 49ers have to win a game at some point and they already should have wins over two of the five or six best teams in the league (New Orleans and Atlanta).
NEW YORK JETS (-3) over Minnesota
I wasn't sure looking at the first picture, but the second one was a dead giveaway for Favre. Uh, I mean, doesn't Diana Taurasi look crazy hot in the new ESPN The Magazine Body Issue? Gimme a minute, I can get out of this …
I think Favre is going to REALLY try and make Randy Moss happy this first game out, and just as it was with Brady in the second half of the Jets game it's going to be to the detriment of the club. I think Moss will catch a TD pass but I bet Favre throws a couple of picks trying to get him the ball. The Jets defense plus the subpar Minny O-line plus Favre's ankle also means it's a one-in-three shot we see Tarvaris Jackson take some snaps Monday. And when he underthrows Moss by 20 yards on a deep route Bill O'Brien might not look so bad.

The Gulf Arab state plans to issue a two-tranche sukuk, with early price talk in the area of 135 basis points over midswaps for the five-year portion and 175 bps over for 10-year paper.
July 10, 2012 4:43 by Reuters
The amount of assets made available to back this week's sukuk suggests Qatar could issue up to $4 billion of paper, though it has no obligation to do so and many in the market expect a smaller amount.
This year's largest dollar sukuk issue so far is Saudi Electricity Co's $1.75 billion deal in late March, which Qatar looks able to exceed easily if it chooses.
Several market sources said they expected Qatar's pricing guidance to tighten before launch.
"They (Qatar) will tighten at least 10 bps…What they are doing is showing generous guidance to get the orders in," said a fixed income trader at a regional bank.
"Then they will tighten and print big," he said, predicting Qatar would issue between $2 billion and $3 billion.
Biswajit Dasgupta, head of treasury and trading at Invest AD, said: "We expect that they'll look to build a really large order book and then tighten the pricing. The market sense is that final pricing will be more or less in line with the current curve for the 2017 maturity, with the sukuk premium making up for this issue's longer duration.
"We think Qatari banks will be the biggest bidders, although the combination of a high credit rating and the sukuk structure will probably receive decent demand from some Islamic investors out of Asia."
Qatar's outstanding conventional bonds have tightened since issue in November. The $2 billion, 3.125 percent five-year portion of its last bond was bid at a yield of around 2.2 percent on Tuesday morning, according to Thomson Reuters data. The $2 billion, 4.5 percent 10-year tranche was at 3.23 percent.

Canonical Developer Criticizes Linux Mint's Security

From the eyes of an outsider that joined Linux because of Ubuntu back in 2008, I have to wonder how you people are completely missing the point when it comes to marketing.
Sadly, they are for real. Warped and twisted their minds have become. Everything they see is a plot or a conspiracy, or evidence to support their own bloated and diseased world view. Really, there is no news here, just FOSS dev complaining.
Here is the response from Mint
Hi Clem, can you look at this article http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...tem&px=MTUxNzY ? How serious is a Mint security problem from your point of view? Thakns for reply
Edit by Clem: We�re very happy with the filtering system (which you can configure if you�re not satisfied with the default settings). We explained why the Ubuntu update policy was not good enough for us and we consequently developed the update manager to solve that particular problem. That all happened in Linux Mint 3.1� in 2007. Do we need to explain it again in 2013, in the middle of an RC because somebody at Canonical doesn�t understand it? No, filtering doesn�t work the way that dev thinks. No, Firefox doesn�t come to you later in Mint than it does in Ubuntu (it�s a level 2 update). Yes, by default you get updates in Ubuntu for kernels and Xorg and not in Mint. Yes, there�s a very good reason for that.
Mint doesn't "disable" updates per se, they simply categorize updates in 5 levels, from 1 to 5. Each update is given a level from 1-5. Updates that are levels 1-3 are shown by default, and suggested to be installed (the checkbox comes pre-checked). Updates that are ranked at levels 4-5 are not shown by default, and when shown are not suggested to be installed (checkbox comes unchecked).
All of this behaviour is user-configurable, if you want ALL THE UPDATES (all of them) then all you have to do is go to the update settings and set all update levels to be updated by default.
This is to say, no updates get installed automatically in Mint. All updates require root perm�ssions (unlike in Ubuntu) to be installed (but you only have to enter the password once per session, which is a much more intelligent way of doing it than the Ubuntu way of not requiring a password at all). So the only difference between the levels is, which updates the installer suggests that you should install, that's all.
The reason for dividing updates to levels is that some updates have been known to cause instability in the system, so in Mint it is thought to leave it up to the discretion of the user whether to accept those updates and when. There aren't often any urgent security updates in the level 4-5 updates, almost all of them seem to be marked as "low urgency" when they come from Canonical, and relatively few of them contain actual security updates.
I don't give a fuck of any of the bullshit that I'm reading. The only thing I know is that my server in production with Ubuntu 12.04 got fucked up from this Linux kernel exploit once an hacker got into a shitty Joomla installation: http://blog.zx2c4.com/749

Also, there only need one security breach in your browser for allowing remote code execution, so by that reasoning, any system with a browser is a compromised system.
Originally posted by Goddard View PostSaying DistroWatch is a bad source is just like when my teachers would say Wikipedia is a bad source. It always felt like a discrediting statement especially when I would write papers sourcing the material, but say it came from an encyclopedia. In other words it may not be as good as getting a piece of software on every single Linux system reporting which distro they are using, but it is as good as it gets.
Originally posted by prodigy_ View PostYes, it's a pure coincidence that the most popular distros are on top of the list.
On the Mint issue, with information I've found on this thread I changed my mind. I thought this was a serious problem in general, because it sounds like they don't dispatch the updates, not like they are optional. If the user knows what he/she's doing, Mint is as secure as their upstream, Ubuntu, is. It is not so moron friendly as Ubuntu, though, having the user to think about the updates.

Because that's what those WP stats say, and your dismissal is based on the premise that they're accurate.
Originally posted by Pajn View PostUbuntu requires super user permissions to install updates. Ubuntu doesn't have a root account by default.
Do you mean you need root permissions? If so: Are you required to enter your root password? Or is there no password at all? Or do you have root privileges all the time? If you say no to the first and/or yes to the second/third question Ubuntu is a very insecure distro.
BTW: All that questions are serious, I never used Ubuntu for myself.
Originally posted by FLHerne View PostAre you suggesting that Ubuntu really has 50x more users than any other distro, and that twice as many people use tiny distros than the combined userbases of all well-known distros including Ubuntu?
Because that's what those WP stats say, and your dismissal is based on the premise that they're accurate.
I think Wikimedia can accurately detect Ubuntu. They probably cannot accurately detect other distros besides Android, and those hide in the "Linux Other", which lumps together the various desktop and mobile distros. Let's make an uneducated guess that there is a 50/50 split between desktop (ChromeOS etc.) and mobile (Maemo/Meego, WebOS, OpenEmbedded etc.) in "Linux Other". This means that Ubuntu has maybe 50% share of the desktop market, which kind of agrees with other available numbers.
For the cloud market, on Amazon EC2, we have Ubuntu at around 52% share, along with a generic 25% "Linux" lump: http://thecloudmarket.com/stats#/totals
An older survey was done as part of Linux.conf.au 2010, a conference for Linux professionals, and it showed Ubuntu at 69.3%, twice as much as the next distro Debian, which was used by 35.5% (multiple distros could be named by respondents).
I think it is plausible that Ubuntu runs on more than half and less than two thirds of all non-mobile Linux computers. Not 50x more share for sure.

There is no password for the root account set by default. Before you can use the root account, you need to set a password (but it is not necessary as described above).
Apparmor is still in repo, you will notice this if you are USING it
Originally posted by monraaf View PostThe update defaults in Mint made me leery. Finding that they remove AppArmor for no good reason meant it was not going to be my main OS.
Mint favors useability/appearance over everything. Not that I fault them but it shouldn't surprise anyone that Mint isn't an Enterprise OS.
Ubuntu on the other hand claims to be an Enterprise OS and doesn't backport all security patches. Care to explain this Mr. Shuttleworth?
Mint does not claim to be a specialized security distro, Tails it is not and need not be. Webservers are another specialized use, requiring maximum security. Since Mint differs from Ubuntu mostly in the DE, why would anyone need a "mintserver" installer anyway?
Originally posted by Mike Frett View PostThe truth is, if you are using anything other than a main distro and are focused on security; you're using the wrong distro. Things like Mint are for experimentation and hobby purposes.
It might be a good idea to point Ubuntu -> Mint changers to this difference in default setting (so they can decide how conservative they want to be), but thats all, why this whole drama about it?
...And WTF took that Canonical guy to pretend that Mint (not talking about LMDE by the way) does not get Browser updates at the same time as Ubuntu
