26 Americans to Stand Trial for CIA Kidnapping in Italy
An Italian judge has ordered 26 Americans and five Italians to stand trial for the CIA kidnapping of a Muslim cleric in Milan. The cleric, known as Abu Omar, was sent to Egypt, where he says he was tortured. The case would mark the first criminal trial over the CIA's extraordinary rendition program.
Ex-Italian Spy Chief: CIA Discussed Kidnapping Days After 9/11
The development comes amid new testimony implicating the CIA in Abu Omar's kidnapping. Former Italian intelligence chief Gianfranco Battelli has told prosecutors the CIA asked him his opinion on the possibility of seizing a terrorist suspect and flying him to a foreign country. Battelli says the conversation took place just days after the 9/11 attacks. Battelli is not implicated in the case, but his successor, Nicolo Pollari, is facing indictment.
3,200 U.S. Troops to Be Sent to Afghanistan
More U.S. troops are on the way to Afghanistan. President Bush made the announcement Thursday in a speech before the American Enterprise Institute.
President Bush: "I'm asking Congress for $11.8 billion over the next two years to help this new democracy survive. I've ordered an increase in U.S. forces in Afghanistan. We've extended the stay of 3,200 troops for four months, and we'll deploy a replacement force that will sustain this increase for the foreseeable future. The forces and funds will help President Karzai defeat common enemies."
House to Vote on Nonbinding Measure Against Troop Increase
Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, the House will vote today on a nonbinding resolution opposing the deployment of 21,000 more troops to Iraq. The vote follows three days of debate on the House floor. On Thursday, Republican Congressmember Cathy McMorris Rodgers argued in favor of the troop increase.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers: "Supporting our troops but not supporting the war is not an option. Victory is the only real choice. The consequences of failure are unacceptable. Abandoning Iraq will embolden the militants, create a humanitarian crisis impacting millions. Instability in the Middle East will create more violence and will leave the U.S. vulnerable to future attacks. I urge my colleagues to oppose this resolution."
As many as two dozen Republicans are expected to vote with the Democrats in opposing the troop increase. If the resolution passes, it will mark the first time Congress has voted against President Bush's Iraq War policy. Also Thursday, Democratic Congressmember Paul Kanjorski said Congress should vote against escalating the war.
Rep. Paul Kanjorski: "The president, the vice president and the former secretary of defense believed they could fight this war on the cheap, with too few troops, too little armor and too little help. They were wrong, and now it is too late. Mr. Speaker, from my perspective, the resolution before us today has been long overdue."
Senate to Vote on Continuing Anti-Escalation Debate
Meanwhile, Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced the Senate will hold a rare Saturday vote on whether to resume discussion on its version of the nonbinding measure against the troop increase.
Dems to Link War Funding to Troop Readiness
Debate is expected to intensify in the coming weeks when President Bush sends Congress a $100 billion budget request to fund the Iraq War. Democratic leaders appear to have chosen a new strategy that would allow war funding only if combat units are certified as battle-ready and troops have been given at least a year at home before additional deployment. Supporters say the strategy would allow Democrats to maintain support for U.S. troops while effectively opposing the troop increase because the military is overstretched. Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congressmember John Murtha are backing the proposal.
Chief of Staff: 21,000 Deployment "Tip of the Iceberg"
The development comes as outgoing Army Chief of Staff General Peter Schoomaker has said the troop increase in Iraq is putting a strain on the U.S. military and could be far larger than announced. Speaking before the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday, General Schoomaker called the figure of 21,000 more troops "the tip of the iceberg." U.S. commanders have requested an additional 2,500 troops to embed with Iraqi forces. Another 6,000 soldiers could be called up to provide support to U.S. combat brigades. Schoomaker says he has voiced concerns to the administration because the troop increase would further deplete the readiness of combat units.
Gates: "Not Planning War with
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Robert Gates addressed the growing controversy over the Pentagon's conflicting statements on Iran's role in Iraq. Gates believes roadside bombs are coming from Iran, but says he doesn't know if those shipments are being directed by the Iranian government as the Pentagon initially claimed. Gates said the Pentagon is sensitive to skepticism following its handling of intelligence before the Iraq War but insisted there is no hidden motive behind the new allegations.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates: "For the umpteenth time, we are not looking for an excuse to go to war with Iran. We are not planning a war with Iran."
Hamas PM Resigns to Form Unity Government
In the Occupied Territories, Palestinian leaders began steps toward a new unity government Thursday. In a ceremony with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas announced his resignation to form a new cabinet.
Ismail Haniyeh: "In my name, as the recent prime minister for the 10th Palestinian government, I introduce in front of you my resignation, that opens the way for the constitutional process to take place to create the unity government, the 11th government. I am praying to God to help our people for what they are looking for in freedom, the return of refugees, and independence."
U.S. to Continue Palestinian Aid Freeze
The unity deal was aimed to end months of factional violence and a year-long international aid freeze that has further crippled the Palestinian economy. Hamas has made a vague pledge to respect previous peace accords with Israel, but the Bush administration is already indicating that won't be enough. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting U.S. officials have told Palestinians the U.S. will continue to boycott their new government. In an interview with The Washington Post, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the U.S. would not waver from demands that Palestinians renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist. Palestinians have argued the conditions are unfair because Israel refuses to renounce violence against them nor recognize their right to a state in all of the West Bank and Gaza.
Trial Opens into Madrid Train Bombing
In Spain, the first trial into the Madrid train bombings of March 11, 2004, opened Thursday. Dozens of victims were in attendance.
Pilar Manjon, head of the March 11 Victims Association: "This is the first ray of light after a long road of (initial legal work) to get to this point. For us, it is an important triumph to have arrived to this stage, the first hearing of the March 11 (trial)."
Twenty-nine suspects are standing trial. On Thursday, the alleged mastermind, Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, told the court he condemns the attacks unconditionally and completely. Prosecutors say Ahmed is one of four suspects who heeded a call by Osama bin Laden to attack countries backing the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
70,000 Expected for Protest Against U.S. Military Base
Back in Italy, a massive protest is expected tomorrow against the expansion of a U.S. military base in the city of Vicenza. The U.S. Embassy is predicting a turnout of more than 70,000 people.
Report: New U.S. Military Base in Australia
The protest comes amid reports the U.S. military is set to build a new base in Australia. The Australian newspaper The Age reports the installation will play an integral role in helping the U.S. military wage wars in the Middle East and Asia.
NYPD Ordered to Stop Videotaping Protesters
Here in New York, a federal judge has ordered the New York Police Department to stop videotaping innocent protesters at political demonstrations. The judge ruled the police have repeatedly violated what is known as the Handschu guidelines that dictate how the police carries out political investigations. The city's police department had attempted to abolish the guidelines after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Hunger-Striking Jailed Professor Hospitalized
In Virginia, the jailed former University of South Florida professor Sami al-Arian has been hospitizaled. Al-Arian has entered the fourth week of a hunger strike to protest efforts to force him to testify in another case. Al-Arian has spent the past four years in jail despite a jury's failure to return a single guilty verdict in the case alleging ties to the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad.
Students Hold National Strike Against Iraq War
College and high school students across the nation walked out of class Thursday in a national student strike against the Iraq War. In California, an estimated 1,000 students at UC Santa Barbara blocked traffic on a freeway. Up to 3,000 students turned out for an antiwar rally at UC Berkeley. And at least 400 rallied at Columbia University here in New York. More than a dozen other schools took part around the country.
Gore Announces Global Warming Concerts
Former Vice President Al Gore has announced a string of concerts this summer to call attention to global warming.
Al Gore: "This is what it is all about, getting the message, getting people's attention and then asking them to answer the call, S-O-S, answer the call to save ourselves, and then giving the solutions for communities, families and for nations."
The Live Earth concerts will be held July 7 in seven different countries including the United States.
Zambia Ordered to Pay $20M to "Vulture Fund"
And finally, this update to a story from yesterday's broadcast. A British court has ruled the government of Zambia must pay $20 million to a "vulture fund" that bought one of Zambia's debts for just $4 million.

text: i love bjorke's certificate (no cynicism, really!). sounds like in a culture that celebrates freedom ( freedom to choose whatever the hell i want to do ) , any sort of consensus and moderation will inevitably be frowned upon ( " who the hell are you to tell me what i can photograph?" ). that's why i'm excited about some of the new guys that are photo'ing new subject matter in b/w. bjorke's summary(*) is quite functional in terms of informing a photographer as to what are the well trodden paths ( canonic subject matter ) and if you are going down that road, you can be conscious of the tradition that you find yourself in. an interesting essay by richard garrod, for me, eloquently puts words to the dilemma some photographers may be facing. personally, i'm always excited about the next contribution made by landscape photographers, colour or b/w. christopher burkett comes to mind and in b/w, charles phillips ( shame i can't see in the flesh! ), bruce barnbaum, john wimberley etc. oops! this is way off topic!

Have you ever found the perfect painting surface -- be it canvas, paper, panel, board, or even a wall-- but it is bare and unprimed? Never fear! Gessoing a canvas or priming a board is an easy task to do yourself, and you wind up with your ideal painting surface with just a minimum of effort!
Supplies Needed:
How To Prime a Canvas Instructions:
Ta-da! Once your final layer of gesso is dry and lightly sanded, you are ready to paint! Many artists like to go through and prime a large number of canvases or boards at one time, to ensure there's always the perfect surface ready whenever inspiration strikes.
For a handy reminder sheet on DIY canvas gessoing, feel free to print out this PDF and keep it in your studio!
World's Greatest Acrylic Gesso Primer
Interested in reading more? Check out this post provided by Ampersand artist panels, on how to prime boards for painting.
Artist Joe diGiulio explains how to use some of our favorite primers: Matisse Acrylic Gesso and Grounds. Check out his advice in the video below!
What about you? Do you prime your own panels or canvas for painting? What's your favorite gesso, medium, and priming method?
Tell us about it in the comments below!
Over the centuries, artists have relied on patrons — wealthy people with good taste — to support their lives and art. Without patronage of the arts, the world may never have heard of the likes of Michelangelo or William Shakespeare. Yes — it's been that important! But then, art became a commodity.
Paintings and fine sculptures were once displayed in places for all to see. For example, the art was on the ceiling of a cathedral, perhaps, or in the midst of an ancient plaza. At some point, someone said, "Oh, no, no. That can't be left there. I'll be needing that for display in my study."
Art is so precious because it is so rare. In fact, with the exception of Warholian methods of mass production, no two pieces of art — even by the same hand — can ever be made exactly alike. As art became a privatized collection, it has only increased in value exponentially. Investing in art has become increasingly fashionable, particularly over the last decade. Art is a luxury asset, and a tangible one at that. Perhaps we can even infer that considering the recent downturn that intangible assets such as stocks and bonds have taken, it only makes sense that investors would be seeking an object they can actually hold onto.
Financiers, celebrities, and royalty are becoming more and more ubiquitous in the salesrooms of the auction houses in London and New York. But the difference between this new kind of investment and the patronage of days gone by is that the art these high-profile people are collecting are pricy pieces from already-made names. Here's a brief list of celebrities and the artists whose works they have purchased, just to illustrate this point:
Leonardo DiCaprio has decided to invest his millions into the art industry, he has been spotted at a various amount of Galleries, and Art auction houses. Leonardo was spotted viewing Andy Warhol's 'Flowers' at the Eykyn Maclean gallery and later attended the Contemporary Art Auction at Christie's Auction House.
This is just a very small sample, but the point is that the works celebrities have purchased are iconic. And the fact that a celebrity has purchased these famous pieces increases the value of not only the art, but the artist as well. Values on these artists — Picasso and Hirst seem particularly popular — have really skyrocketed in the years following this trend.
But of all the celebrity purchases, none has been more newsworthy than Eric Clapton's investment which recently made headlines. Clapton was worth around $200 million before he unloaded several paintings from his personal art collection at an auction. He walked away $30 million richer. Most notably, a piece by German painter Gerhard Richter sold for more than twice the listed price -- the highest sum ever paid for a piece by a living artist!
Interestingly, this may not have been the result of sheer luck or fortunate circumstance on Clapton's part. The great guitar player studied at the Kingston College of Art in the early 1960s. Until recently, his investments were something of a side hobby when he had extra cash. For Clapton, his background knowledge earned him a 965% return on investment in just 10 years. Who says studying liberal arts doesn't pay off?
Check out some more celebrity art lovers here. What do you think? Is modern-day patronage of the arts a boon or a bane to professional artists?
Know any other celebrities, famous art collectors and investors? Have more to add to the list? Please add them to the comments below.
Artist Andy Russell is widely recognized as a master in acrylic painting. He embarked on his artistic journey over 35 years ago, when he began having recurring dreams of vibrant and ethereal landscapes, which he then started translating into acrylic paintings of immense detail and glowing tones. He describes his painting style as "extended realism" — peaceful, utopian dreamscapes with impossible foliage and amazing architecture. Russell's unique style is accomplished through multiple glazes and layers of acrylic paint, and he finds the Matisse line to be perfectly suited to his painting technique!
Watch the video below to hear about Andy's background, inspiration and technique in his own words, and get a glimpse into his perfect worlds!
"Matisse Acrylic Paints have proven to be a pleasure to work with in so many ways. They are of the highest quality, richly pigmented and creamy smooth and perfect for the professional artist.
"I use Matisse Structure Acrylics for a thick textured, bold impasto look and Matisse Flow Acrylics for the smooth, highly detailed results. They are also excellent for covering large areas.
"I love colors and they come in a full range, which makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. I almost think of them as flavors. I really like their unique colors such a Cadmium Orange Deep, Australian Red Violet and Australian Blue Gum, Australian Salmon Gum and Australian Sienna. After years of painting in acrylics, it is exciting and refreshing to use these new colors. Discovering them was like getting a 'booster shot' of creativity for my work.
"Matisse has everything I need from mixing mediums to varnishes, from Background Colors to Mix-In Dry Mediums. I have found that using Matisse Background Colors are great for covering large areas. I use a lot of Phthalo Blue in my skies, which is very transparent and requires at least six coats for my purposes. I have discovered I can use one coat of Midnight Blue Background Color and only two coats of Phthalo over that and get the same results. This not only saves money but also leaves me more time for the more creative parts of the work.
"I plan on trying almost everything they offer as I go and can hardly wait to experiment in opening new avenues for creativity.
"I have realized that mixing their Magenta Light and Cadmium Yellow Medium with varying amounts of Titanium White gives me a glowing, brilliant color for sunset and sunrise skies.
"Spreader Medium is perfect for the glazing technique. It gives a smooth, even coat of transparent color for brilliant results.
"I am completely sold on Matisse Acrylic Paints. I highly encourage every artist, professional or pleasure painter, to experience these paints for themselves."
— Andy Russell

Wanted to write a birth story for all the other 1st time moms!!!! Sorry if it's lengthy... :) All the other birth stories I've never seem to include a due date! I was due APRIL 1ST.
After 3 weeks of BH contractions that were on and off painful, I really truly felt this was "IT" when they hurt 3 contractions in a row. I went to my friend's hockey game and started timing them... 7 minutes apart, 8 minutes apart, 5 a part. I was bummed they weren't consistent. They hurt like period cramps, but I could still function through them obviously. THE DATE WAS MARCH 30TH
When my friend's game was over, (9:15pm) he came to say hello to us and ask me "when's that baby coming??" I said "maybe tonight?"... then started walking for the doors to leave and OOPS, did I just pee my pants?? I stopped right there and told my husband that I think my water just broke. I went in the bathroom to check and it didn't smell like pee.
We got home and the contractions kept coming. They were about 6 minutes apart then. I called the doctor and it took him about 45 minutes to return my call. Since I told him I thought my water had broke, he said it was time to go to the hospital. (10:45 pm). I got there and they first checked to see if my water did break. Yup! I said "so this is it huh?" :) Yup! I was 2cm and 60% effaced. (12:00AM)
My friend who is visiting from Australia came by around midnight to pray for me. She knew how very nervous I was and prayed for strength for me and baby, endurance and an easy labor!
The contractions for the next 2 1/2 hours weren't bad. The nurse was having trouble getting the monitor in the right spot to accurately read my contractions from the front desk. She kept coming back and asking if they were getting stronger and I said yes. According to the monitor they didn't look like much. at 2:30 am I told my husband to get some sleep because I thought I'd be in labor all night and into the next day?? That was just what I thought it'd be like in my head. Around 3:00 am, they started to SUCK. I tried to rest between them, but they were coming so close I couldn't. Some hurt way more than others and sometimes I'd finish up with one contraction and have one immediately after it (within 40 seconds). I thought that was weird. Just goes to show EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and whatever I read in the books was NOT what the kind of labor I had.
I had diaherea 3 times during the night, the poor nurse! She had to come in everytime to unhook me. She checked me when I got back into bed at 3:50 am and I was 4 cm and 80% effaced. I powered through them on my own thinking it'd still be all night before I even felt like I couldn't handle them anymore.
One contraction made me throw up (around 4am). That woke my husband up! I insisted he go back to bed but when the nurse came in at 4:10 to check me, I was 6cm. She kept saying "you're going fast girl!" She called the doctor to let him know of my progress. He was at home (a few minutes away) but was on his way in. The nurse stayed in the room for a bit and when the contractions were coming minutes apart she said "I better check you again". I was 8 cm by 4:30. They called the doctor again to tell him he probably wouldn't make it. At 4:44 am I was 10cms and 100% effaced. Here's the fun part:
I had my first contraction where I felt the baby coming and freaked out! I couldn't believe the sensation!!! There was absolutely no controlling the urge to push. (I've read about that so many times, now I REALLY know what that is). During every contraction I was still able to talk and ask questions and focus. I really didn't understand the feeling and how to NOT PUSH. It's such a crazy feeling... it was like the baby was being pushed down and out by itself. My nurse sat at the end of my bed ready to catch the baby if the doc didn't make it. My bed was still just set up as a normal bed, not a delivery bed. I absolutely could NOT hold it in any longer and guess who showed up? :) The doctor came in, they got the bed ready and I was on my way pushing! The noises that were coming out of me were crazy. Everytime the head would "push itself" down, my body just reacted really strange. The doctor had me stop, look him in the eyes, focus and listen to what he was saying. He said, "Julie, take all the energy from those noises coming out of you and put them into pushing!" Of course I tried it!!! That was the best advice anyone gave me!!!
From my husband's recollection.... it took me 4 pushes to get him out. (1st time moms will appreciate this.......) The 1st push he said made my bottom area look like a jiffy pop! He said everything down there bulged out so far (butt too)... it looked just like a jiffy pop cooking on the stove! 2nd push he could see hair, 3rd push he could see more of the top of his head and the 4th time without having the urge to push (just cause I was almost there... why not give it a little push??) the head came out and the doc did the rest!!! We did not know the gender, but I was completely convinced it was a girl. When I saw testicles, I couldn't believe it! My husband forgot to even look to see what it was! They told us about 20 seconds later "it's a boy!"
It was 100% natural with the exception of an IV for fluids and pictocin for the placenta. I didn't even push for the placenta. I was on my phone texting my family :)
Grey Radly Stromwall was born on March 31st at 5:04 am after less than 10 minutes of pushing. He was 5lbs 8oz, 20 inches long. I live at high altitude (9300ft) and most babies are born very small up here. I had 2nd degree tear (don't know what that means). The doctor stitched me up for a while and then the nurse came one last time to clean me off. She put freezing water or solution on me and I wiggled with surprise. She said "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, most people are numb!!!!!" Less than 40 minutes after he was born, he breastfed perfectly!
I am so so so so so pleased at how it all went down. It was SO much easier than I thought it would be. I never once thought I'd need medicine to control the pain and I never dreamed it would only be 5 hours from the time I was admitted to the time he was here. I had MANY friends praying for me and I truly believe that is why it was as easy as it was. I was discharged yesterday in the early afternoon and I feel fantastic. I am aware that not everyone can have a delivery like this and that it was rare for me, being a first time mom, to deliver so fast. I am so thankful.
Here are some pics!

I hate to bust your bubble but that is not correct. The game uses MotionScan from Depth Analysis where actors are recorded ala FMV. Reading up on it a bit, it appears to be awesome technology but it's still FMV. There maybe some elements of the game that is not FMV (particularly the scenery...), but the majority of it is. It appears what was actually shown in the game had to be dumbed down quite a bit as the consoles couldn't handle the textures in the game. I'll restate an earlier comment I made: it will be interesting to see if the PC version uses enhanced graphics closer to the actual recorded video. If the PC version gets enhanced graphics, how close will they be to the actual recorded video?

Regarding the storage space and 100 GigB comment earlier, that well maybe accurate. I did some quick research. It appears the game takes the equivelant of 3 DVD's which is about 20 Gigs of storage space spread across the three. Take into account the fact compression was probably used somewhere, the game may take anywhere form 50 to 100 Gigs. PS3 has a bluray player so those owners/users may not have noticed much.

Will two track pads working on two different computers in the same room interfere with each other?
My husband and I would both like to upgrade to the new Lion operating system, but our desktop computer keyboards do not have track pads built into them. If we were to buy two of these new Magic trackpads, would they interfere with each other when we were both using our computers at the same time? (Computers are side by side....)
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Will work fine.
Once each computer has a trackpad paired to it (pair them one at a time),
You might consider:
-Open SysPrefs/Bluetooth
-click Magic Trackpad in left hand column
-click on gear icon at bottom of left hand column, select show more info
-click on gear icon at bottom of left hand column, select Add to Favorites
-click on gear icon at bottom of left hand column, Rename, change name of Magic Trackpad to something unique for each computer
This should prevent one computer from stealing the other's Trackpad when its Trackpad batteries die.
Also, tape a label to the bottom of one.

The present invention relates to a booster and charger unit for a hand-held portable (HHP) telephone capable of preventing a casing of the booster and charger unit from being heated to excessively high temperatures.
Generally, an HHP telephone is designed with primary importance placed on the convenience of transport and, therefore, miniature, light weight, and small in transmission power. While such a telephone is of course powered by a battery, the battery is usually implemented with an economical and light weight nickel-cadmium battery which is repeatedly usable. On the other hand, the HHP telephone can be used in a car which mounts a car adapter and a booster and charger unit. The car adapter accommodates the HHP telephone and connects the telephone and the unit. The booster and charger unit includes a transmission power booster which serves to boost the transmission power and, thereby, extends the range of communication. The unit also includes a charging circuit adapted to charge a nickel-cadmium battery which has to be charged frequently due to the increase in power consumption which in turn results from the increase in output power as stated above. The transmission power booster generates a substantial amount of heat while in operation, the heat generation reaching a critical degree as a communication is continued over a long period of time. While several hours have heretofore been consumed in charging a chargeable battery, a current trend in the art is toward the use of a rapid charging system which completes charging in one hour or so. A charging circuit with the rapid charging principle, too, generates considerable heat because a large current flows through the circuit within a short period of time. A circuit of the kind generating substantial heat as stated would be damaged due to excessive temperature elevation if not provided with a sufficient countermeasure against heat radiation.
In the case of a booster and charger unit, its casing serves the function of a radiator, and circuits which generate substantial heat as described above are installed in the casing. A prerequisite is, therefore, that the casing of a booster and charger unit be dimensioned large enough to cope with a particular amount of heat generation. However, the booster and charger unit is so designed as to achieve a miniature and light weight configuration as desired to promote the ease of handling and the cut-down of cost, priority being often given to such a configuration over the area available for heat radiation. Today, therefore, the short heat radiation area available with the casing, i.e., the excessive temperature elevation of the casing is the fatal problem with a booster and charger unit for a hand-held portable telephone.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a booster and charger unit for a hand-held (HHP) portable telephone capable of preventing the temperature of a casing from being elevated to an excessive degree.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a generally improved booster and charger unit for a hand-held portable (HHP) telephone.
A booster and charger unit for a hand-held portable (HHP) telephone of the present invention comprises an amplifier for amplifying a transmitting signal, a charger for charging a battery which is stored in the telephone, a casing for accommodating the amplifier and charger, and a temperature sensor for sensing a change in temperature of the casing. The charger reduces its charging current to a predetermined value when a temperature of the casing sensed by the temperature sensor is elevated to a predetermined temperature.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an overall system for allowing a hand-held portable (HHP) telephone to be used in a car-mount configuration;
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing a booster and charger unit which is included in FIG. 2;
FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams showing a specific electrical arrangement of the unit of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a graph showing a temperature characteristic of a thermistor which serves as a temperature sensor as shown in FIGS. 3, 4A and 4B.
To begin with, the overall construction of a system which allows a hand-held portable (HHP) telephone to be used in a car will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown, in the system 10, a booster and charger unit 14 in accordance with the present invention is mounted in a car and connected to a car adapter 12 by a coaxial cable 16 and a connecting cable 18 and via a connector 22 (FIG. 2). The booster and charger unit 14 is provided with a rapid charging circuit and booster of transmission power. The adapter 12 is connected to a hand-held portable (HHP) telephone 20. Connected to the adapter 12 are a handset 24, a handsfree microphone 26, an external speaker 28, etc. The unit 14 is connected to a car antenna 30 and a car battery 32 via a connector 17 (FIG. 2). While the telephone 20 is not connected to the adapter 12, the booster and charger unit 14 is not operated. On the other hand, while the telephone 20 is connected to the adapter 12, a high-frequency signal for transmission and reception is fed from the telephone 20 to the booster and charger unit 14 via the adapter 12. A speech signal and a control signal are interchanged between the telephone 20 and the booster and charger unit 14 via the adapter 12. Part of the control signal is routed to the unit 14. The charging output of the unit 14 is applied to a battery which is installed in the telephone 20, e.g. a nickel-cadmium battery. When the telephone 20 is connected to the adapter 12 inside of a car, the system 10 functions in the same manner as ordinary in-car radio equipment and, yet, becomes able to charge the battery. Such charge is usually implemented with rapid charge in order to reduce the charging time as far as possible, as will be described later.
Referring to FIG. 3, an electrical arrangement of the booster and charger unit 14 is schematically shown. The unit 14 includes a first switch 34 which is implemented with, for example, a duplexer and connected to a coaxial connector 22a which forms part of the connector 22. The unit 14 further includes a second switch 36 also implemented with a duplexer or the like and connected to a coaxial connector 17a which constitutes part of the connector 17, and a booster 42 for amplifying a transmitting signal and a radio frequency amplifier (RF AMP) 40 for amplifying a received signal, which are connected to the connectors 22a and 17a by the switches 34 and 36. The amplifier 40 and the booster 42 may selectively be connected to the connectors 22a and 17a by switching the switches 34 and 36. Implemented with an amplifier, the RF AMP 40 serves to compensate for the deterioration of sensitivity due to duplexer losses and cable losses. It is to be noted such an amplifier may be omitted and replaced with a simple by-pass. The unit 14 includes a charging circuit 46 having a rapid charging function and connected to a charging current connector 22b which constitutes part of the connector 22, and a temperature sensor 48 for sensing the temperature of a casing 49 of the unit 14 and delivering its output to the charging circuit 46. The temperature sensor 48 may be constituted by a thermistor by way of example. Connected to connectors 17b and 17c, which also constitute part of the connector 17, is a power source protecting circuit 50. This circuit 50 is adapted to apply power to the booster 42 and charging circuit 46 while, when the source polarities are erroneously connected or when an excessive voltage is applied from the outside, protecting the booster 42 and charging circuit 46.
Having the above construction, the booster and charger unit 14 of the present invention suffers from the previously discussed problem, i.e., its casing 49 is heated to sharply elevate the temperature due to the heat which is generated by the various structural elements. In accordance with the present invention, the temperature sensor 48 mounted on the casing 49 senses any change in the temperature of the casing 49, feeding its output to the charging circuit 46. When the casing 49 is heated to a predetermined temperature such as 60� C. as alerted by the output of the temperature sensor 48, the rapid charging function of the charging circuit 46 is interrupted to stop charging. In this condition, it is only the booster 42 that generates heat, even during transmission. This, coupled with the radiating ability of the casing 49 itself, slows down or fully stops the temperature elevation of the casing 49, thereby preventing the inside of the casing 49 from being heated to a level which would damage the various structural elements. When the casing 49 is cooled off to the predetermined temperature, rapid charge is resumed. Thus, the temperature sensor 48 and the charging circuit 46 constitute an overheat protection circuit for the unit 14.
Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, a specific arrangement and operation of the structural elements of the booster and charging unit 14 in accordance with the present invention will be described.
First, the RF AMP 40 and the switches 34 and 36 will be described. A received wave coming in through the coaxial connector 17a for the car antenna 30 is distributed to the RF AMP 40 by a duplexer 361, which constitutes the switch 36. An amplifier 401 which constitutes the RF AMP 40 as previously stated is adapted to compensate for losses which are ascribable to a duplexer 341, the duplexer 361, and the coaxial cable interconnecting the unit 14 and telephone 20. The amplifier 401 is made up of an input matching capacitor 402, input matching strip lines 403 and 404, a transistor 405, an oscillation preventing resistor 406, output matching strip lines 407 and 408, and an output matching capacitor 409, whereby the amplifier 401 is operated on a high frequency basis. Further included in the amplifier 401 are a DC bias resistors 410 and 411. Capacitors 412 and 413 are adapted by-pass. A stabilizer 414 for 8 V is implemented with an integrated circuit. A capacitor 415 is also adapted for path control, or smoothing. A received wave applied to the amplifier 401 is amplified by approximately 10 dB and, then, delivered from the connector 22a via the duplexer 341.
As also shown in FIG. 4A, the booster 42 includes a power module 421. A transmit wave (+6 dB in this particular embodiment) coming in through the coaxial connector 22a is routed to the power module 421 via the duplexer 341. The transmit wave sufficiently amplified by the power module 421 is delivered to the duplexer 361 via a strip line 422 and isolator 423 and, then, fed out via the connector 17a. A strip line 424 is coupled with the strip line 422 to sense the level of the transmit wave, so that the energy of the transmit wave is partly rectified by a detector 425 to become a DC level. A resistor 426 is provided for making the level, which is mainly input to the detector 425, flat in a frequency band used. A capacitor 427 and a resistor 448 are used for smoothing purpose. An operational amplifier (OP AMP) 428 serves as an error amplifier for stabilizing the transmission output, the gain of the OP AMP 428 being controlled to an adequate value by resistors 429 and 430. A capacitor 431 is provided for eliminating oscillation. Resistors 432 and 433 are connected to the OP AMP 428 to apply a reference voltage to the latter. The transmission output is determined based on this reference voltage. A resistor 434 is adapted to protect a transistor 435. This transistor serves as a current buffer for the output of the OP AMP 428 and controls the transmission output of the power module 421. Further, capacitors 436, 437 and 438 function as path control capacitors.
The circuit which is constituted by the OP AMP 428 and its associated elements forms as ALC (Automatic Level Control) circuit which functions to maintain the transmission output constant. Specifically, when the transmission output is lowered, the output voltage of the detector 425 is lowered and, therefore, the OP AMP 428 raises its output in order to reduce the difference between the detector output voltage and the reference voltage. In this condition, the transistor 435 raises the voltage of the power module 421 and, thereby, the transmission output. Conversely, upon the rise of the transmission output, the output voltage of the detector 425 is raised resulting that the OP AMP 428 lowers the voltage of the power module 421 and, thereby, the transmission output through the transistor 435. The power module 421 has two ordinary power source terminals 439 and 440; one terminal 439 is adapted for output control, i.e., it lowers the output when the voltage is lowered and raises the output when the voltage is raised, and the other terminal 440 is constantly applied with a predetermined voltage. Capacitors 441, 442, 443 and 444 are associated with the power source terminals 439 and 440 of the power module 421 for path control. A transistor 445 serves to turn ON and OFF transmission output. While the transistor 445 is ON, the reference voltage of the ALC circuit remains substantially zero so that the transmission output is turned OFF; while the transistor 445 is OFF, the reference voltage of the ALC circuit remains in a steady state so that the transmission output is turned ON. Resistors 446 and 447 are provided for protecting the transistor 445.
Referring to FIG. 4B, the power source protecting circuit 50 is shown. When a voltage of +13.8 V is applied via the connector 17b, power is fed to the protecting circuit 50 via a diode 501 which is adapted for the protection against inverse power source connection. A varistor 502 serves to protect the protecting circuit 50 against instantaneous high-voltage surge. When a voltage is applied to an ignition terminal IGN of the connector 17b, i.e., when the ignition switch of the car is turned ON, information representative of such an occurrence is sent to the car adapter 12. When the adapter 12 delivers a command for supplying power to the booster and charger unit 14, a terminal PSON of the connector 17c is turned into (logical) low level, or "L". In this instance, power has been supplied from a terminal PS of the connector 17c to the unit 14. Upon the change of the terminal PSON connector 17c to "L", a transistor 503 and, then, a transistor 504 is rendered conductive. Resistors 505 and 506 are associated with the transistor 503 for protection purpose, and resistors 507 and 508 are associated with the transistor 504 for the same purpose. A transistor 509, a resistor 510 and a Zener diode 511 constitute in combination a stabilization power source the reference voltage of which is defined by the Zener diode 511. The stabilization power source functions to allow a relay 512 to remain energized until the voltage drops as low as possible, while preventing it from being damaged by high voltages. When power is applied to turn ON the transistor 504, the relay 512 is energized to feed power to the inside of the unit 14. A transistor 513 is adapted to protect the relay 512 against overvoltages, i.e., it turns ON in response to an overvoltage so that the base voltage of the transistor 509 is lowered to zero to deenergize the relay 512. A Zener diode 514 is energized when the power source voltage is raised beyond a Zener voltage, rendering the transistor 513 conductive. Resistors 515 and 516 are provided for protecting the Zener diode 514. Capacitors 521 and 523 are bypath capacitors. Further, a capacitor 519, a varistor 520, and a diode 521 are connected as shown.
The charging circuit 46 and the temperature sensor 48 are constructed as also shown in FIG. 4B. A transistor 461 constitutes a constant current circuit for charging and constantly feeds a current for trickle charge via a resistor 462. A resistor 463 is provided for eliminating malfunctions of the transistor 461. A comparator 464 serves to control rapid charge. Specifically, when a voltage generated by a resistor 467 and a thermistor 481, which constitutes the temperature sensor 48, is higher than a reference voltage as generated by 465 and 466, the comparator 464 produces (logical) high level, or "H", to thereby turn ON a transistor 468. Upon the turn-ON of the transistor 468, the transistor 461 begins to cause a large current for rapid charge to flow. This current for rapid charge is determined by adjusting a resistor 469. Conversely, when the actual voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the comparator 464 produces "L" to turn OFF the transistor 468 resulting that trickle charge occurs. As shown in FIG. 5, the temperature characteristic of the thermistor 481 is such that when the temperature is low, the resistance and, therefore, a voltage divided by the thermistor 481 and resistor 467 is high; as the temperature rises, the resistance of the thermistor 481 and, therefore, the divided voltage is lowered. Usually, such a threshold temperature is selected to be approximately 60� C. A diode 469 is adapted for the prevention of the reverse flow of a current. The output of the diode 469 is fed from a terminal CHG of the connector 17 c, through the adapter 12, to a battery installed in the telephone 20 (FIG. 1). Inserted between the comparator 464 and the transistor 469 are resistors 470 and 471.
While the present invention has been shown and described in relation to a car-mount configuration, it will be apparent that it is similarly applicable to fixed radio equipment provided a suitable power source is available.
For compactness, the booster and charger unit 14 and the car adapter 12 may be combined into a single casing or housing.
In summary, it will be seen that a booster and charger unit in accordance with the present invention prevents a casing from being heated to excessive temperatures and, thereby, frees various structural elements installed therein from damage due to heat. In addition, since the casing is not expected to have a considerable radiating ability, the casing and, therefore, the whole casing can be miniaturized.
Various modifications will become possible for those skilled in the art after receiving the teachings of the present disclosure without departing from the scope thereof.

Back-to-school meals are easy with kalua pork
August 26, 2014
Back-to-school time almost always means busy, manic schedules.
To make it easier each year, I gravitate toward easy-to-throw-together meals originating with a slow-cooked main, so leftovers easily morph later in the week into quickly prepared meals using few, simple and delicious ingredients.
Kalua Pork is a family favorite and an absolutely wonderful way to make many great meals fast. Below are some recipes to help you answer that endlessly asked and panic-inducing question, "What's for dinner?"
Get a simple, affordable steak fix from the grill
July 29, 2014
No matter who you are or where you live at one point or another during the dog days of summer, your mind will turn at some point toward grilling.
Regardless of what you cook, be it strictly vegetables or meat or some amalgamation of both, the undeniable allure of cooking over flame is a strong one.
Steak, grilled to crispy outer deliciousness with a meltingly soft interior is often, for us, the way to go. A naturally easy and delicious way to grill most always involves minimal prep of both meat and marinade, allowing the delicious flavors of both shine through.
It's not summer without a fruit crumble
June 24, 2014
Now that summer fruits are in season, if you are at all like me, you are clamoring to enjoy them any way you can.
Fruit consumption goes way up for us this time of year. We try to cram as much delicious fruit into each meal at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with fruit for snacks in between. In years past, I've always felt a little guilty about all the fruit we consume. It's just so simple, so fresh and so incredibly delicious that I get a little lazy on the rest of the food options available to us.
Herbed chicken skewers are a summertime favorite
May 27, 2014
With warmer, longer days comes the return of meals eaten al fresco. The highlight of our summertime dinner routine is eating outside as much as possible. Regardless of where we eat, on our deck, in the park or on the porch, the thrill of being outside relaxing and enjoying time together in the rarefied Northwest sun is wonderful.
There's something about eating outside that just lowers the blood pressure, inviting us to slow down, be more present and enjoy the world around us in a way we don't often have opportunity to do.
Improve your chocolate chip cookies with browned butter
April 29, 2014
It's hard to argue that few things are not improved by the addition of browned butter.
Over the course of the past few years, browned butter has pretty much taken over the world of baking. The thinking goes that any recipe that calls for butter can definitely be improved by the addition of butter that's been melted, and milk solids that have been browned and caramelized. In my view, it's pretty sound thinking. The alchemy that occurs when browning butter is nothing short of magical.
Browned butter adds a salty complexity to baked goods and leaves the uninitiated wondering just what makes that cookie or that banana bread they've just devoured more amazing than anything they've ever had before.
Get seasonal with spring greens, avocado and grapefruit salad
March 25, 2014
Spring is just around the corner. Can you feel it? Warmer, longer days, and daffodils and crocuses peeking through the soil all give me hope that winter day's are almost at end.
Often, when I feel anxious for the beginning of a new season, the best way I find to welcome it into being is to begin doing so in my kitchen and, of course, by extension, onto my plate.
A light, colorful salad is the epitome of spring, particularly if it includes small micro-greens, shoots and starts. Packed with nutrients, delicious to eat and beautiful to look at, micro-greens should be in everyone's salad at one point or another. More readily available than they've ever been, they are perfect additions to smoothies, stir-fry, sandwiches or on fresh roasted fish as a garnish with berries.
Recipe shows eggs aren't just for breakfast anymore
February 18, 2014
When I was growing up, my mother often served eggs for dinner. The idea that we could have what was usually a breakfast food for dinner was a fun and unique thing for us. For my mother, it was a great way to get a nutritious dinner on the table fast.
We had our fair share of waffles and pancakes for dinner, too, but for some reason, I remember the egg dishes the most. Most frequently, we had eggs in omelets, scrambled or my personal favorite, pan-fried in toad in the hole.
Make a super bowl of tacos for game day
January 28, 2014
When the Seahawks played their first season in Seattle, I was 6 years old. To say it was a big deal to finally have a professional football team in the Emerald City is putting things very lightly. It was an epically huge deal. We lived in Ballard during those first years and every Seahawk Sunday the town basically shuttered its doors.
Everywhere you went, the city was in thrall. It was nothing to see people walking down the street, transistor radios glued to their ears, neighborhood bars overflowing with fans, men, young and old huddled outside Sunday church services, listening quietly to car radios and cheering our beloved Seahawks to victory.
Kick off 2014 with hearty, healthy soup
January 21, 2014
I'm not one for making grandiose New Year's resolutions as I often find that I'm rarely able to keep them. I do, however, love the start of a new year, and the fresh possibilities that exist therein.
Eating lighter/healthier is for me not so much a New Year's resolution but rather one that I attempt to view as an ongoing daily one. I often fail in this attempt, but its appeal is ever present and I love the way I feel when I eat wholly and healthfully. More vegetables, more healthy fats and more whole grain are really the focus of our efforts around here these days and soup is, in my opinion, the perfect vehicle for their consumption.
Tis the season for peppermint bark
December 17, 2013
If the hustle and bustle of the holiday season has just about overwhelmed you and the thought of making one more treat or wrapping one more gift is more than you can bear, I hear you.
Every year, with the best intentions, I set out to make and bake an ambitious list of treats and goodies. Every year, I fail miserably to accomplish even a fraction of what I intend. Life, work, holiday merry making and all the other responsibilities just simply get in the way.
I've made peace with doing less over the years, and as my children have gotten older I've realized that really the most important thing is just to make a priority of enjoying the season. Spending time together in the kitchen is a great way for us to do that.

But at the Los Angeles premiere she looked trim and classy. How did she shed the pounds? Watch the video to see Xtina's weight loss secrets!

The Golden State Warriors have what many consider to be the best fan base in the NBA, and it seems like the organization is ready to reward them with an arena worthy of that status. In a story via Mike Foss of USA Today Sports, the Warriors revealed the first conceptual designs for a new arena that is supposed to be ready for the 2017 season. The arena would be 728,ooo square feet, and will also include a practice facility and team offices. The seating capacity will be less at 17,500 down from Oracle Arena's 19,596. The designs are really amazing, and if the Warriors keep playing their fast-paced, aesthetically pleasing brand of basketball, I'm moving to Golden State.

Love this does just what it says it will keeps my curls soft and friz free Light weight good product. So far all the products I have gotten from curly hair solutions have done nothing but enhance my curls. Anybody with curly hair that lives somewhere with high gross sticky humidity knows friz is a problem. With this problem solved!!4
I have used this product a few times since getting it. I like it, but don't love it. My curly hair can get super frizzy- I love that my hair doesn't look crunchy, but wish I didn't have to apply so much throughout the day to keep the frizz at bay. It is much nicer than other products I have tried, and if your hair is just curly- not frizzy- this product is probably a perfect 10! For me, when I do not blow my hair out, I will continue to use this in different variations.4
I have been using this product for a little while and the jury is still out. Sometimes I use it and my hair looks great!!! Other times? Not so much. I think the key is using exactly the right amount and I just haven't figured that out. I have very, very fine hair, so maybe that is part of my trouble. Just a little bit too much of the product and it doesn't do as well for me.4
This product is great, keeps the frizz out of my hair terrific. I live in Florida with high humidity so my hair will get frizzy very quickly but so far I love this product. The only question I have is I am not sure when or if I add a gel to add curl. Does exactly what it advertises.5

Homeowner shot by home invasion gunman
SAN DIEGO - SAN DIEGO (AP) - Police say a homeowner answered a knock at the door and was shot by one of two men who invaded his San Diego home and took wallets and cash.
Investigators say the 25-year-old homeowner is expected to survive a gunshot wound to the chest. His name hasn't been released.
Police say the homeowner opened the front door of his College Area home at about 9:45 p.m. Sunday and two men pushed their way inside and shot the homeowner.
The intruders took wallets and cash from the homeowner and two roommates before fleeing in a black SUV.

Hooks Notes: 05.15.05
Hooks infielder Alex Eckelman brought six different gloves to spring training and that proved to be some good foresight on his part.
Eckelman has started 14 games at shorstop and six at third base this season, and also has seen time at catcher and right field. Friday night was his first appearance in the outfield this year and Eckelman made three putouts and his throw home in the 10th inning got to the plate in time to nail Midland's Jason Perry on the controversial safe ruling that ended the game.
Eckelman also chipped in at the plate on Friday with a pair of doubles, including the two-run hit that completed the Hooks' three-run rally in the seventh.
"He's a guy that we can move around quite a bit," manager Dave Clark said. "I kept my fingers crossed quite a bit, but he showed us he can handle himself out there."
Carlos Rodriguez was back in right field one night after Clark benched him for not running out a pop-up to first base in the first inning on Friday. Coincidentally, he popped up to second in his first at-bat on Saturday, but did run it out.
Meanwhile, regular right fielder Charlton Jimerson sat out for the second consecutive game. Jimerson was in the original starting lineup on Friday night but was a late scratch. He is still being bothered by the wrist injury he suffered on May 7 against Springfield.
Second baseman Brooks Conrad needs one RBI to reach 300 for his career. Conrad reached 500 career hits with his 2-for-5 outing on Friday. . . . With his sixth-inning single. center fielder Josh Anderson extended his hit streak to 11 games. The Hooks' season high is 12 by Eric Riggs. . . . Two Hooks starters rank in the top 10 in the Texas League in earned run average. Left-hander Mark McLemore, who will start today, is seventh at 2.60 and fellow righty Tim McClaskey is ninth at 2.97.

Discover how to build web sites, prototypes, and more in this course on Adobe Dreamweaver CS6. Author James Williamson shows designers how to take control of their site by properly naming and structuring files and folders; how to create new documents and web pages from scratch or with starter pages; and how to add content such as text, images, tables, and links. James also provides a background on the languages that power projects built in Dreamweaver—HTML and CSS—and introduces the programming features in the application, for developers who want to dig right into the code. The last chapter shows how to finesse your project with interactive content such as CSS3 transitions and Spry widgets.
If you're brand-new to Dreamweaver, chances are you're brand-new to Web design as well. This can make for somewhat of a steep learning curve as you try to learn a new discipline and a new program all at the same time. In this movie I'd like to offer some advice designed to make that path maybe a little bit easier for you. I also want to make sure that you have the proper expectations about Dreamweaver's capabilities, where it fits into a proper Web design workflow, and what your expectations about this course should be. First, if you're new to Web design, I recommend starting by learning the basics of HTML and CSS.
These two technologies are the core of Web design, and without a solid foundation in how they both work, your skills as a Web designer will always be incomplete. Dreamweaver is an amazing tool, and much of the web design process in Dreamweaver can be performed without ever touching the code. This doesn't mean however that you don't need to know what's going on behind the scenes. Without a proper understanding of the code itself, you won't be able to tweak minor errors or go beyond the capabilities of Dreamweaver's visual tools. Look at it this way, a talented mechanic might use really expensive tools when working on your car because they help them work faster and more precisely.
Now, going out and buying the same tools however wouldn't automatically make me a good mechanic. That's how you should view Dreamweaver, it's a tool, and to use it properly you need to understand the processes and technology behind Web design. That doesn't mean that you can't learn both at the same time. As you build your pages in Dreamweaver, take time to examine the code being generated, this is a great way to learn the structure and syntax of CSS and HTML. I do want to stress however that the focus of this title is to teach the basics of Dreamweaver, not the basics of HTML and CSS.
To learn those I recommend exploring the many titles in the Lynda.com Online Training Library that focus on core Web design skills. I recommend starting with my Web Design Fundamentals course, as it gives an overview of web design, explores best practices, and defines much of the terminology you'll hear in this title. If you're brand-new to web design, I recommend completing that title first before moving forward with this one. After that, I recommend also exploring the HTML Essential Training title and my CSS series, including CSS: Core Concepts and CSS: Page Layout.
Those courses will broaden your understanding of HTML and CSS and help you utilize Dreamweaver to its fullest potential.

Alec Bradley Supervisor Selection Torpedo
6 1/4 x 54 - Natural - Single
Alec Bradley Supervisor Selection Jalapa cigars bring you all of that outstanding, award-winning Alec Bradley cigar flavor in an affordably-priced bundle selection featuring a rich-tasting Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper that's a tad lighter and sweeter in flavor, and a little more aromatic than the Supervisor Selection Habano. If you want a full-bodied, multi-layered smoke that will appease your palate at a price that will satisfy your wallet, order a bundle of these delicious cigars right now.
Overall this was a good cigar as my ratings reflect with the exception of a very uneven burn. Had to make three burn course corrections which at this point I will reserve a little judgement as it could have been this individual stick. Everything else with the cigar went smoothly. A good stick if you can catch them on sale but for almost 5 bucks a pop you can do better or worse .
