As far as taxes, actually, Lindsey says 27 percent. Really, it's only 18 percent in new tax credits, because the fact that the AMT was put in, which would have been factored in anyway. So it's really only 18 percent in tax relief. We give more tax relief to the arts than we do to small businesses.
And, you know, obviously, we have to do a lot. I supported strong infrastructure, strong tax relief. We didn't do it. And that's why you have people even like Alice Rivlin, who was Bill Clinton's budget director, testified against the stimulus bill, Martin Feldstein, who had -- had been for it is now against it, and the CBO says, over a 10-year period, it's going to diminish the economy, bring down the GDP, and actually cause a reduction in wages.
SCHUMER: Yes, the bottom line is, first, there's good -- good help for small business. The NOL provision is kept in for businesses...
SCHUMER: ... below 15 -- it allows businesses that have had losses to take those losses now so they don't have to pay tax instead, can put people to work. And there's going to be more for small business in the economic plan that the president is announcing.
The bottom line is this: This -- the -- when you ask people what you need to do about this economy, the number-one thing all economists -- Martin Feldstein, who wanted a bigger package -- he wanted a different one, but a bigger one, he didn't want no -- all of them say the great danger we face, George, is what they call a deflationary spiral, prices keep going down.
And once you get into that spiral deeply, you don't know how to get out. That's what the Great Depression was. To a lesser extent, that's what happened in Japan for 10 years. And we need to get out of it. And this is a jolt to the economy. It's a strong jolt.
It's not perfect, but it certainly is a lot better than doing nothing and a lot better, frankly...
KING: But no one suggested we do nothing, Chuck.
SCHUMER: But, well...
KING: No one suggested we do nothing.
SCHUMER: ... you know what? To say that $50 million in the arts is a reason to vote against it -- now, I happen to think the arts is an economic engine in New York, and I would be for that provision, but you might disagree with it.
But to say that's the reason to vote against a bill, when there are -- still on infrastructure, if you add it all in, there's close to $100 billion. If you -- it's including water, and sewer, and high- speed rail. If you talk about the FMAP relief, that is much greater. That is 100 times greater, just about, than the money to the arts.
SCHUMER: So let me just say this.
SCHUMER: We had a lot of people who said, "Take this out, take that out."
WATERS: That's right.
SCHUMER: Most of those things were taken out, and they still voted against the bill.
KING: ... so much is missing, and that's the reality.
WATERS: We took the amendments from those three Republicans who were willing to step up to the bat.
KING: In the House, no one was allowed to take -- no Republican was allowed to take part in the process.
KING: Not one Republican was allowed to take part in the process in the House.
WATERS: That's -- that is not -- that is not the truth.
KING: It is the truth.

OPINION: More than anything, 2012 has shown the power of brand loyalty in politics, over and above the chatter and clatter of the weekly news cycle.
After a year in which so much seemed to happen, the major political parties ended 2012 largely as they began it.
Support for National and its leader, John Key, is down only marginally from a year ago, although enough to leave New Zealand First potentially holding the balance of power in the 2014 election.
Labour leader David Shearer remains a deeply flawed work in progress, and the Greens ended 2012 with the same 10.5 per cent level of support they earned on election night just over a year ago.
The Government must be surprised (and relieved) at the public's relative fidelity.
The string of disasters on its watch included the privacy violations and disarray at ACC, the postponement of the asset sales programme, the ongoing embarrassment of the Kim Dotcom arrest and extradition case, and the fumbled rebuild of Christchurch . . . to name just a few.
In no time flat, Education Minister Hekia Parata went from having a promising career to being a slogan-spouting disaster zone. Singlehandedly, Parata presided over the class sizes debacle, the botched Christchurch school closures and the Novopay fiasco, in a year that gave her no respite.
On the wider front, New Zealand's economic growth all but flatlined during 2012.
Serious problems with unemployment, child poverty, income inequality, river pollution and the provision of affordable housing all spent 2012 in the Government's "too-hard" basket.
The much-touted hopes for prosperity based on oil and gas exploration all but evaporated, as the likes of the Brazilian oil giant Petrobras (and others) either handed back their exploration licences or suspended their operations here.
For much of 2012, the Government appeared confused and irritated by the problems at hand.
Repeatedly, it tried to pass off distractions like The Hobbit movie or the mooted convention centre in Auckland as if these were matters of national significance.
Remarkably, the public did not crucify them for doing so.
One reason for that was that Labour consistently muffed its chances to capitalise on the situation.
For most of 2012, David Shearer seemed like a vacancy looking for a job. Often inarticulate and indecisive, Shearer led a Labour front bench that was consistently outperformed by the Greens even on its own policy ground, let alone when confronting the Government.
Ironically, Shearer's most decisive moment during 2012 involved banishing his talented colleague David Cunliffe to the back benches, largely because of Cunliffe's failure to rule out a possible leadership challenge next year - a challenge that seemed credible solely because of Shearer's underwhelming performance this year.
The Greens have perhaps the most reason to feel frustrated by the year's outcome.
Despite outperforming Labour at every turn and despite the formidably articulate Russel Norman emerging as the most credible centre-left spokesperson on economic policy, the Greens ended 2012 with their old hoodoo intact.
Seemingly, the Greens can't break through the 15 per cent polling barrier.
Until they reach and maintain that level, they can't seriously expect to engage with Labour as virtual equals in any future government.
For all these reasons, few around Parliament will be sorry to see the back of 2012.

NV Brut Tradition, Dumont et Fils(6x75cl)
Pale gold with small fast bubbles which froth up when poured. The nose is insanely fruity with lemons, white peaches and red cherries. In the mouth, power is met with elegance. Pinot Noir-y red fruit hits you first alongside a creamy, briochey note, all of which lies in the palm of zingy, refreshing acidity.
NV Brut, Laurent Perrier(24x20cl)
Freshness, elegance and balance, the defining qualities of the range, are showcased in the Brut L-P year after year.
Due to a high proportion of Chardonnay in the blend this has a lovely lightness of touch.
NV Grand Brut, Perrier Jouët(6x75cl)
The palate is impetuous yet full, with a cheerful vitality due to its persistent stream of sprightly bubbles. There are rich flavours of brioche, butter and a long dry finish.
NV Brut Mosaïque, Champagne Jacquart(6x75cl)
A light, golden yellow colour with fine, long-lasting bubbles. The bouquet is lovely and fresh with fruity grape and pear hints mingling with intense notes of bread crust. Fresh and rather powerful on the palate creating a balanced overall impression with a lovely, long-lasting finish; spice bread and fruit flavours.
NV Jacquart Demi Sec, Jacquart(6x75cl)
Medium yellow straw colour, bright and glossy. Lovely expression in the mouth, the dosage giving a balanced sweetness, exuberant effervescence and a smooth long finish.
NV Brut Réserve, Taittinger(3x1.5l)
Crisp, citrusy aromas with subtle toasty notes lead to an elegant, balanced palate with a lively, mousse texture and a crisp, flavourful finish.
NV Brut Grande Réserve Premier Cru, Gobillard(12x37.5cl)
An elegant nose redolent of citrus blossom, followed by a delicate and precise palate showing greengages and honey. A long finish dominated by toasty brioche notes.
2006 Blanc de Blancs, Champagne Jacquart(6x75cl)
A single grape, an outstanding vintage. Our Blanc de Blancs is quite simply the combination of exceptional quality Chardonnay in an exceptionally good year. Sparkling, brilliant straw gold. Very lively with good persistent mousse. Cherry blossom, vanilla and white pepper mingle with the irresistible notes of still-warm brioche. Fresh and light at first, then an explosion of mouthwatering flavours, with white peaches and citrus notes in abundance. Very long, light elegant finish.
NV Yellow Label Brut, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin(6x75cl)
Beautiful colour with straw-yellow highlights. Abundant fine bubbles. Intense, pleasant on the nose. Fruity at first, then hawthorn-flowery and slightly musky. Pleasant harmony on the palate, good freshness and liveliness. Lingering fruitiness: apple and pear.
NV Brut Rosé, Moët et Chandon(6x75cl)
Rose petal pink with shades of copper, the nose is aromatic and lively with a youthful expression of wild strawberries. The palate is medium bodied and zesty with a persistent mousse, crisp acidity and a delightful balance between red fruit and citrus flavours. Finishes soft and dry.

"We have provided our teens with a high tech world of endless connectivity-We must also insure for them the ingredients of privacy, balance, space and time to make it safe as well as vital" Suzanne Phillips
Adolescence is the time when life really opens up for young people: suddenly they're going out on their own, meet up with friends, go sporting, holiday bashes or to fares. There's no doubt youth have embraced mobile technology. Today's cell phones are personal, palm-sized entertainment and social networking tools from which they can play games, music, communicate, send messages, exchange information and share videos and images. From the perspective of youths, cell phones are portable, accessible and discreet, with text messaging rapidly becoming the preferred way for them to chat with friends. Given this social aspect, it's not surprising that adolescent girls text more than adolescent boys! But for young people, cell phones are much more than a tool for chatting; they're an essential part of their social lives. Overall on average, adolescent girls spend more time than boys consuming mobile media.
There are a wide range of digital applications today that can connect to other people and other networks as WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, etc. The most prevalent of these devices are mobile gaming devices like the Nintendo DS and DSi and the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP). These devices are not just for games. The PSP offers internet connectivity through WiFi and has a version of Skype, a free voice over IP (VoIP) application that allows users to make calls, often for free, over the internet. Skype also has an embedded instant messaging client, meaning that PSP users can IM others from their device.
Various applications have flooded the market and there is fear that if the adolescents are not guided, they can be overwhelmed and loose direction. The rapid shift of using mobile phones as multimedia devices even makes it very difficult to monitor or supervise an adolescent's internet access on his/her phone. I believe they need to know how to manage temptations from going to irresponsible sites e.g. pornography and becoming prey to abusers. In fact, owning a cell phone is a privilege, not a right: and with this privilege comes responsibilities.
In Uganda today projects such as reporting gender based violence and information on the menstrual management for adolescents, HIV/AIDS, crop diseases through texting by mobile phone have become popular.
You will strongly appreciate that adolescents have used their mobile phones for multitasking, fast thinking, problem solving, information gathering etc. which are valuable, life-enhancing attributes for an adolescent. My teenage children use their smartphones for all this. Mobile phones offer young people independence, something that they crave. Their world has opened up, in an entirely positive way, and it will undoubtedly have knock-on effects for their development, thanks to mobile phones. Skill development: A mobile phone will definitely also provide the adolescent the opportunity to develop mobile communication etiquette, media and communication skills.Mobile phones are one way to keep contact with each other; friends, family etc. It gives you peace of mind and help keep safe when out.
Dealing with some of the challenges that might come with adolescent mobile phone use can be done by promoting safe and responsible mobile phone behavior. Owning a mobile phone comes with a lot of excitement and exploration. So helping adolescents appreciate that this comes with extra bills is important. Some costs are hidden, such as subscriptions that incur ongoing costs and are usually charged at higher rates such as; ringtones, voting for various promotions, football premier leagues etc, purchasing or downloading content, sending MMS (photos and video) messages.
Letting the adolescent know when it's OK to take calls or reply to texts; when the phone should be on silent or switched off; whether s/he's allowed to have the phone in his/her room at night. Educating adolescents about limiting who should have his/her mobile phone number can help keep them safe. Many adolescents will develop a strong sense of ownership and attachment to their mobile phones creating addiction. Many adolescents sleep with their cell phone near the bed. Some adolescents become obliged, anxious, and even addicted. This jeopardizes physical, emotional and cognitive functioning and limits spheres of influence and connection. Cell-phone texting has become the preferred channel of basic communication between adolescents and their friends. Creating what is referred to as the Texting Trap.
Bullying and 'sexting'; using mobile phones can expose adolescents to cyberbullying and 'sexting' (sending sexually explicit photo or video content via mobile phone). In recent years "sexting" where teens exchange sexually explicit messages and images has become a growing concern. It becomes very important that adolescents are talked to on the need for appropriate use of his/her mobile phone. We should be concerned because the majority of sexting is carried out by young men circulating images and videos of young women.
The sexual Health Improvement Project has seen it necessary to add a session on using digital media with integrity in its training manual. Imparting self-discipline, critical thinking and ethical behavior are skills adolescents need to be given in this digital age to create 'cybercitizens'.
'After all, we're grappling with the newness and the unknowns of mobile phone technology just as our children are, and the things they're getting wrong may be the things we're not role-modelling very well for them. Joanna Moorhead' (The Guardian)
Take action! This post was submitted in response to WWW: Women Weave the Web .
Thank you, Ikirimat, for this article about the benefits and challenges of mobile phone use and connectivity for young people in Uganda! You seem very well informed about a wide array of apps and programs that can provide benefit (i.e. menstrual management, information about STDs, and farming techniques and methods.
It's true as well that with expanded opportunity comes potential risks. Young people in particular do not always realize that content they generate or view leaves behind a digital footprint that is trace-able by others. Thank you for highlighting the hidden costs that can be incurred, anti-social habits that may develop from over-reliance on technology and phone use, and healthy parameters for cell phone etiquette.
My hope is that we can move forward with a healthy balance of an expanded worldview and personal connections while still being respectful "cybercitizens."
Best wishes from an American sister! Kristie
Thank you Kristie for you analytical response. My interest in work has been around young people and women. I'm also a mum to adolescents.The recent demand for us to harness digital use has made me explore more into the cyber world. Which interests for me basically emanated from this platform (WP). Its my hope too that we can balance use of digital app in a respectful way since the benefits are great.

First Time visit to Lochearnhead Villas. Myself and my wife had a great relaxing time. Villa was nice clean and tidy. Would hire villa again. 10 out of 10. for all.
Very old and dated interior in the log cabin. Advertised as luxury accommodation definately not. Very old electric heating which you had to keep going with pound coins struggled to keep warm. Location is lovely but would not go back to these cabins.
Washed away with the rain no fishing!
Beautiful location and lots to do out and about
Wonderful view over loch
Another lovely week here. Just shame we have to return home.
The view is absolutely amazing and Guss is so helpful.
Can't wait for next year.
Had a great time and my dogs loved it.
Great holiday, lovely place to stay..
Had a fabulous few days. Scenery was outstanding. Cabin was very comfortable only quibble was the
was cold and the shower wasn't brilliant. Absolute value for money would definitely go back.
Had a nice relaxing few days been here now 4 times and will be back next year.
Owner great (angus) but no probs with cabin
Only suggestion couches need updated and another heat source reqd in living room eg elect fire otherwise enjoyed stay
Lodge clean and tidy. Took a long time to heat up inside. Very dated interior but we expected that. The seating in the lounge is very uncomfortable and the TV is too small for the room. We took our 2 dogs with us so we could go on long walks without driving somewhere first with them, this is impossible in this location this was the most dissapointing part of the holiday.
Lovely cabins set in a great location would recommend
We were in the Loch Earn Villa. It was clean and had everything we needed. The owners were very friendly/helpful. The location was superb, waking up to snow was beautiful. There is a hotel/bar just along the road with wifi and lovely log burning fire to keep you warm. Would definately go back if the price was good.
Loved it! Beautiful setting with an owner that will do anything to help. We will be back sometime

Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Disease
In this article
Diagnosis of Obstructive Lung Disease and Restrictive Lung Disease continued...
A doctor's interview (including smoking history), physical exam, and lab tests may provide additional clues to the cause of obstructive lung disease or restrictive lung disease.
Imaging tests are almost always part of the diagnosis of restrictive and obstructive lung disease. These include:
- Chest X-ray film
- Computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest
In some people, a bronchoscopy may be recommended to diagnose the lung condition causing obstructive or restrictive lung disease. In a bronchoscopy, a doctor uses an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera and tools on its tip) to look inside the airways and take samples of lung tissue (biopsies).
Symptoms of Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Disease
Obstructive lung disease and restrictive lung disease cause shortness of breath. In early stages of obstructive or restrictive lung disease, shortness of breath occurs only with exertion. If the underlying lung condition progresses, breathlessness may occur with minimal activity, or even at rest.
Cough is a common symptom in restrictive and obstructive lung diseases. Usually, the cough is dry or productive of white sputum. People with chronic bronchitis, a form of obstructive lung disease, may cough up larger amounts of colored sputum.
Symptoms of depression and anxiety are also common among people with obstructive lung disease and restrictive lung disease. These symptoms occur more often when lung disease causes significant limitations in activity and lifestyle.

I am married and have a blended family of 5 children and 6 grandchildren. I learned to crochet at the age of 12 by a teacher at my junior high school and fell in love. With raising a family I didn't have that much time to dedicate to crocheting, but now have rekindled a old flame. Last December I started ELK Studio – Handcrafted Crochet Designs as a way to express some of my creativity. Although I have been crocheting for over 30 years, I am new at the designing/pattern writing and have found it to be even more exciting and challenging.
I have been in the medical field as a sonographer for over 21 years and recently lived out a dream when I graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelors in Business Management in May/2013.
It has truly been a rewarding experience starting this new adventure at ELK Studio with being able to engage with other fellow crafters on my blog, Facebook page, etc. I am excited about what my future looks like and watching myself and ELK Studio grow.

Hi Kathy, I' m making your houndstooth scarf and have a question. I just finished my 2nd row, and I'm supposed to pick up my first color again, but it's on the other end. How do I deal with this? Thank you!

In one important respect, however, China does not permit its currency to be freely exchanged except for purposes of trade and foreign direct investment.
(Reuters) China has overtaken Japan to become the world's second-largest economy after three decades of rapid growth that has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.
Penny Payday's memebers have recently been alerted on stocks that have made gains of 138%, 160%, 172%, and even 500%! Sign up today for free at http://www.pennypayday.com.
Depending on how fast its exchange rate rises, China is on course to overtake the United States and vault into the No.1 spot sometime around 2025, according to projections by the World Bank, Goldman Sachs and others.
China came close to surpassing Japan in 2009 and the disclosure by a senior official that it had now done so comes as no surprise. Indeed, Yi Gang, China's chief currency regulator, mentioned the milestone in passing in remarks published on Friday.
Cruising past Japan might give China bragging rights, but its per-capita income of about $3,800 a year is a fraction of Japan's or America's.
"China is still a developing country, and we should be wise enough to know ourselves," Yi said, when asked whether the time was ripe for the yuan to become an international currency.
China's economy expanded 11.1 percent in the first half of 2010, from a year earlier, and is likely to log growth of more than 9 percent for the whole year, according to Yi.
China has averaged more than 9.5 percent growth annually since it embarked on market reforms in 1978. But that pace was bound to slow over time as a matter of arithmetic, Yi said.
If China could chalk up growth this decade of 7-8 percent annually, that would still be a strong performance. The issue was whether the pace could be sustained, Yi said, not least because of the environmental constraints China faces.
If China can keep up a clip of 5-6 percent a year in the 2020s, it will have maintained rapid growth for 50 years, which Yi said would be unprecedented in human history.
China has been encouraging the use of the yuan beyond its borders, allowing more trade to be settled in renminbi and taking a series of measures to establish Hong Kong as an offshore center where the currency can circulate freely.
But Yi said: "Don't think that since people are talking about it, the yuan is close to becoming a reserve currency. Actually, it's still far from that."
He said expectations of a stronger yuan, also known as the renminbi, had diminished. There was no basis for a sharp rise in the exchange rate, partly because the price level in China had risen steadily over the past decade.
"This suggests that the value of the renminbi has moved much closer to equilibrium compared with 10 years ago," he said.
Yi's comments are unlikely to go down well in Washington, where lawmakers have scheduled a hearing for September 16 to consider whether U.S. government action is needed to address China's exchange rate policy.
China scrapped the yuan's 23-month-old peg to the dollar on June 19 and resumed a managed float. The yuan has since risen only 0.8 percent against the dollar, and economists calculate that it has fallen in value against a basket of currencies.
China would stick to the principle of holding its $2.45 trillion of official reserves in a mix of currencies and assets.
The stockpile — the world's largest – was so big that it was impossible to adjust its currency composition in a short space of time: "We won't be particularly bearish on the dollar at a given time or particularly bearish on the euro at another time."

A cost-effective power supply for providing full time electrical power to a customer premises telecommunications hub is disclosed. The supply includes an AC to DC power converter for converting power from the AC power grid to a DC voltage suitable for operating telecommunications equipment and for maintaining a backup battery at a fully charged float voltage. The converter includes a first rectifier section for generating an unregulated DC voltage. This voltage is switched through the primary of an isolation transformer by a pulse width modulated voltage controller. The output of the transformer is connected to a second rectifier circuit and filter to produce a regulated DC output voltage. The regulated voltage is connected to a voltage correction circuit through a divider including a temperature compensator so that the feedback to the voltage controller causes the regulated output voltage to follow the battery float voltage at all temperatures. The unregulated DC voltage is coupled to the voltage controller current limiting input to protect the power supply at high input voltages.
1. A power supply for a customer premises telecommunications hub comprising:
an AC to DC power converter having an input for receiving AC power from a commercial power grid and an output connected to a DC power bus of the telecommunications hub and including a voltage controller having a voltage control input,
a battery connected to the DC power bus,
a temperature sensing device located near the battery,
a low power voltage comparator having an input connected to the DC power bus through a voltage divider including the temperature sensing device and having an output coupled to the voltage controller voltage control input.
The present invention relates to combination power supplies and battery chargers, and more particularly to power supplies for telecommunications hubs located on business or customer premises which provide power to operate the hub while maintaining backup batteries at float charge level compensated for ambient temperature changes.
Traditionally, telephony communications within the United States were handled by the public switched telecommunications network (PSTN). The PSTN can be characterized as a network designed for voice communications, primarily on a circuit-switched basis, with full interconnection among individual networks. The PSTN network is largely analog at the local loop level, digital at the backbone level, and generally provisioned on a wireline, rather than a wireless, basis. The PSTN includes switches that route communications between end users. Circuit switches are the devices that establish connectivity between circuits through an internal switching matrix. Circuit switches set connections between circuits through the establishment of a talk path or transmission path. The connection and the associated bandwidth are provided temporarily, continuously, and exclusively for the duration of the session, or call. While developed to support voice communications, circuit switches can support any form of information transfer (e.g., data and video communications).
In a traditional PSTN environment, circuit switches include central office (CO) exchanges, tandem exchanges, access tandem exchanges, and international gateway facilities. Central offices, also known as exchanges, provide local access services to end users via local loop connections within a relatively small area of geography known as an exchange area. In other words, the CO provides the ability for a subscriber within that neighborhood to connect to another subscriber within that neighborhood. Central offices, also known as end offices, reside at the terminal ends of the network. In other words, COs are the first point of entry into the PSTN and the last point of exit. They are also known as class 5 offices, the lowest class in the switching hierarchy. A class 5 telephone switch communicates with an analog telephone using the analog telephony signals in the well-known analog format. The class 5 telephone switch provides power to the telephone; detects off-hook status of the telephone and provides a dial tone in response; detects dual-tone multi-frequency signals from the caller and initiates a call in the network; plays a ringback tone to the caller when the far-end telephone is ringing; plays a busy tone to the caller when the far-end telephone is busy; provides ring current to the telephone on incoming calls; and provides traditional telephone services such as call waiting, call forwarding, caller ID, etc.
In an effort to increase the amount and speed of information transmitted across networks, the telecommunications industry is shifting toward broadband packet networks which are designed to carry a variety of services such as voice, data, and video. For example, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks have been developed to provide broadband transport and switching capability between local area networks (LANS) and wide area networks (WANs). The Sprint ION network is a broadband network that is capable of delivering a variety of services such as voice, data, and video to an end user at a residential or business location. The Sprint ION network has a wide area IP/ATM or ATM backbone that is connected to a plurality of local loops via multiplexors. Each local loop carriers ATM over ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) traffic to a plurality of integrated service hubs (ISHs), which may be at either residential or business locations.
An ISH is a hardware component that links business or residential user devices such as telephones and computers to the broadband, wide area network through a plurality of user interfaces and at least one network interface. A suitable ISH is described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/226,575 entitled "Multi-Services Communications Device," filed on Jan. 7, 1999 (Sprint docket number 1246), which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The network interface typically is a broadband network interface such as ADSL, T1, or HDSL-2. Examples of user interfaces include telephone interfaces such as plain old telephone system (POTS) ports for connecting telephones, fax machines, modems, and the like to the ISH; computer interfaces such as ethernet ports for connecting computers and local area networks to the ISH; and video ports such as RCA jacks for connecting video players, recorders, monitors, and the like to the ISH.
In providing telephony services over a broadband network, the ISH connects a telephone in the customer's premises to a network element such as a service manager. This connection between the telephone and the network element is typically an ATM connection, which is much different than the traditional analog line to the local switch. ATM connections usually do not support analog telephony signals, such as off-hook, dial tone, and busy signals. Therefore, the ISH must provide many of the telephony functions traditionally provided by the telephone provider central office such as detect off-hook conditions, on-hook connections, and digits as well as provide the telephones with dial tone, ring current, ringback, and busy signals. The terms off-hook and off-hook condition as used herein are generic terms meaning that a user device (whether telephone, facsimile machine, modem, etc.) connected to a telephone line is attempting to access and use the line.
Another example of such a central office function being provided by the ISH is backup power. Traditionally in cases of power grid failure, the central office provides backup power to customers' telephones through use of an industrial-strength, petroleum-fueled backup generator. Since it is not economical to equip each customer with a backup generator, an ISH must be equipped with a back-up power supply, which is typically a battery pack, to maintain power to the system in cases of power grid failure.
The ISH must include a power supply to support the telephony functions (off hook, dial tone, etc.) and to keep the battery pack in charged condition so that it can provide backup power for as long as possible in the event of power grid failure. The power supply of the ISH should be as simple as possible to be cost effective; and yet it is desirable that the power supply be able to operate continuously, use as little power as possible when the power grid fails, and provide high voltage isolation of the user equipment from the power grid.
A power supply according to the present invention includes an AC to DC power converter for converting AC power from the power grid to DC power for use in the ISH and a sealed lead acid battery connected directly to the DC output of the power converter. The power converter includes a first rectifier section for converting AC power from the power grid into an essentially unregulated first DC voltage. An isolation transformer has a primary coil connected to the first DC voltage and to a pulse width modulated voltage controller. The secondary of the isolation transformer is connected to a second rectifier section for producing a regulated second DC voltage at an output which is connected to the battery. A voltage comparator has an input connected to the second DC voltage by a divider circuit which includes a temperature sensitive device which adjusts the feedback voltage in proportion to battery temperature. The output of the voltage comparator drives the voltage control input of the voltage controller to maintain the regulated DC output voltage at the level needed to maintain the battery at float voltage over the operating temperature range. A current limit input to the voltage controller is provided with an input which is a combination of the primary winding current level and the first DC voltage level, to maintain maximum power availability level without overheating the power supply.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a power supply according to the present invention; and
FIGS. 2A and 2B together provide an electrical schematic diagram of the circuitry of an embodiment of the present invention.
With reference to FIG. 1, there is provided a block diagram illustrating the primary elements of a power supply according to the present invention. Block 10 represents a source of AC power, which for many user applications will be 117 volt 60 Hertz AC power from a residential power grid which is standard in the United States. The preferred embodiment, however, is adapted for receiving input voltages from 90 to 275 volts and at frequencies from 40 to 440 Hertz, to accommodate power grids in essentially all countries. The input power passes through a primary protection and EMI control section 12 to reduce power spikes and noise. The power then passes through block 14 where additional protection and rectification is provided. A first DC voltage is provided between output lines 16 and 18. This first DC voltage is not closely regulated and will vary depending on input voltage. An high frequency isolation transformer 20 is connected to the outputs 16 and 18 and to a pulse width modulated voltage controller 22. The secondary of transformer 20 is connected to a rectification and filtering section 24 which provides a closely regulated DC voltage across its outputs 26. The regulated DC voltage is fed back to a voltage comparator 28. Comparator 28 provides a voltage control signal through optical feedback 30 to voltage controller 22.
Voltage controller 28 also receives a temperature compensation input on line 32. This signal is generated by a thermistor 34 located near battery 36. Battery 36 is connected through backplane interface 38 to the regulated voltage on lines 26. Thermistor 34 is likewise connected through the backplane 38 to the control circuitry. Backplane 38 is a printed circuit board with a number of sockets for receiving and interconnecting the various printed circuit boards which comprise a telecommunications hub. Every board connected to the backplane requires electrical power. The power supply of the present invention provides this power from the input 10 so long as the power grid is working. If the power grid fails, the battery 36 is hard wired to the backplane and continues to provide the needed power to allow continued operation of the telecommunications hub.
Prior art systems such as that shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,663,580 typically provide switches and necessary control circuitry to isolate a back up battery from a system requiring power until the power grid actually fails. Other systems such as that shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,623,195 provide additional circuitry to avoid thermal runaway or overcharging of batteries which have been discharged. The present invention provides very simple cost effective circuitry in place of the more complicated prior art systems.
Under normal conditions, that is, when the power grid is working, it is important to keep the battery 36 fully charged, but not overcharged. This requires a closely regulated voltage which is compensated for battery temperature. The float, or fully charged voltage of lead acid batteries is known to vary with temperature. As temperature increases, the battery voltage decreases. If a constant supply voltage is applied to a battery, the charging current will increase as temperature rises. In a sealed lead acid battery, it is important to prevent overcharging because of its limited capacity to recombine oxygen and hydrogen which are produced by excess current. In the present invention, the thermistor 34 is placed near the battery 36. Its resistance changes with temperature and provides a feedback signal to adjust the regulated output voltage so that it matches the float voltage of the battery 36. As explained below, by proper choice of components the voltage control can be accurate within one percent.
If the "unusual" condition of power grid failure occurs, then power is supplied by the battery 36. The battery will of course discharge during the power outage. Upon restoration of power from the power grid, the battery 36 will begin recharging. Depending on the state of discharge, the battery could draw significant currents, especially if the input source 10 is a high voltage source. To prevent overstressing components in this situation, the present invention provides a simple current limiting protection arrangement. In FIG. 1, resistor R28 is an in-line current sensing resistor used to provide a current limiting signal to voltage controller 22. An additional resistor R2 is connected from the positive unregulated DC voltage line 16 to the current sense input. As the voltage on line 16 increases, the signal from resistor R2 limits current through the primary of transformer 20 to protect components from overheating and possible failure.
A detailed electrical schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention is provided in FIGS. 2A and 2B. Components which are also individually shown in FIG. 1 are identified with the same numbers in FIGS. 2A and 2B.
In FIG. 2A, the AC power grid input 10 is illustrated with the standard US power plug configuration. The primary protection (box 12 of FIG. 1) is provided by capacitors C1, C2 and C3. Secondary protection and rectification (box 14, FIG. 1) is provided by transformer T1, fuse F1, thermistor R1 and full wave diode bridge D1. The first DC voltage appears across lines 16 and 18 and is smoothed by capacitor C4 and peak limited by zener diodes D3 and D7.
Primary winding 40 of isolation transformer 20 is connected between power lines 16 and 18 in series with power transistor Q3 and current sensing resistor R28. A secondary winding 42 together with diodes D6 and capacitors C10 and C16 provide operating voltage to pulse width modulated voltage controller 22. The driver output of controller 22 is connected through resistor R12 to transistor Q3. Secondary windings 44 of transformer 20 are connected to diode D8 and capacitors C6 and C5 to provide rectification and filtering (block 24, FIG. 1) for the regulated output DC power on line 26.
FIG. 2B illustrates the voltage control section (block 28, FIG. 1) and other parts of the power supply. Line 26 connects the regulated DC power to the backplane interface 38, and through it to battery 36 and all other systems which are operated by this power. The thermistor 34 is connected through the backplane interface to a resistor divider string comprising resistors R7, R5, R4, and R15 connected in series between line 26 and ground. Thermistor 34 is connected in parallel with resistor R5. The voltage at the junction of resistors R4 and R15 is applied to the positive input of op-amp, operational amplifier, 46. This amplifier compares the input voltage to an internal reference and provides a control signal through transistor Q6 and optical isolator ISO1 to the control input of voltage controller 22. The resistance of thermistor 34 changes with the temperature of battery 36, which in turn changes the feedback signal to op-amp 46, which causes the controller 22 to adjust the output voltage on line 26 to match the float voltage of battery 36. With the components specified in FIG. 2B, the output voltage is compensated at the rate of minus 3 millivolts per degree centigrade per cell. For the 12 volt battery of this embodiment, the compensation is therefore minus 18 millivolts per degree centigrade. The parallel combination of the fixed resistor R5 causes some desirable deviation from this compensation rate at the high end.
In this embodiment, op-amp 46 is a part number LTC1541 manufactured by Linear Technology Corporation. Use of this part, or an equivalent part, is important for two reasons. It contains a voltage reference with a 0.4% accuracy. When this is combined with the resistor string R7, R5, R4 and R15 having a total accuracy of 0.5%, the voltage control is accurate within 1%. With this level of accuracy, the battery 36 can be permanently connected to the backplane interface and kept at full charge without overcharging which would shorten its lifetime and reduce its capacity. The LTC 1541 device uses very little power, requiring only about 5 microamps of current. The resistor string specified in FIG. 2B uses about 15 microamps. At these low power levels, there is no need to disconnect the voltage control circuitry when the power grid fails, even if the following system circuits are switched off, such as for storage.
As discussed above, the present invention also includes a current limiting circuit to protect the power supply as shown in FIG. 2A. Resistor R28 is connected in series with power transistor Q3 to sense the current levels in primary winding 40 of transformer 20. The voltage across resistor R28 is coupled to the current sensing input of voltage controller 22 through resistor R30. In the present invention a second input is provided to the current sense input. Resistor R2 is connected from the current sense input to line 16. As the voltage on line 16 increases, the peak current levels in primary 40 of transformer 20 are decreased. This prevents damage which might otherwise occur at high input voltages, while allowing use of full supply power capacity over the full operational range.
In FIG. 2B there is also illustrated a low voltage shutdown circuit. It includes a voltage comparator 48 which is physically part of the same LTC1541 device which contains op-amp 46. Comparator 48 has a positive input connected to the junction of resistors R4 and R5 and a negative input connected to a reference voltage. With the values shown, comparator 48 will generate a discharge shutdown signal when the battery voltage drops to about nine volts. At this level, at least one cell of battery 36 is fully discharged. Further discharging would probably cause permanent damage to the battery. The discharge shutdown signal is coupled by the backplane interface to the other devices plugged into the backplane. In response to the shutdown signal the other devices should go into an inactive state and essentially stop drawing power from the battery.
While the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to specific circuits and methods of operation, it is clear that various modifications thereof and substitution of parts may be made within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Memphis Regional Chamber adopts logo to rebrand campaign
For the second time in six years the Memphis Regional Chamber is launching a rebranding effort, changing its name to the Greater Memphis Chamber.
The 2,300-member organization will launch a new Web site and logo -- a versatile, 3-D "M" -- in the first quarter of 2009.
"The greater area still defines the region," said John Moore, president and CEO of the chamber. "We didn't want to lose the marketing edge for our region, but we also wanted to create a logo mark that was far more usable."
Chamber officials will unveil the new identity and logo -- as well as a new marketing campaign, called "M!Power Memphis" -- during the annual Chairman's Membership Luncheon at 11:30 a.m. today.
"This rebranding is the best, most effective way to communicate the progress we are making ... to the world," said Tom Schmitt, president and CEO of FedEx Global Supply Chain Services and chairman of the chamber board of directors.
The chamber plans to use the "M" and a three-color identity system to define the organization's efforts with economic, community and member development online, in e-newsletters and in printed publications.
The "M" can also be designed specifically to represent an aspect or company identified with Memphis, such as its intermodal transport system or FedEx.
The "M" logo will set the 170-year-old organization and Memphis apart from other cities, said Brooke Tweddell, chamber vice president of marketing and communications.
"Similar to Google's logo, the 'M' is a dynamic mark," she said. "Through photorealism, we can show all of the things we want to communicate about our community."
Meanwhile, the chamber's new marketing campaign will use data and positive "talking points" to market Memphis, Shelby County and eight surrounding counties that make up the Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is often referred to as the Greater Memphis Area.
For example, did you know Memphis is mentioned in more songs than any other city in the world? Or that the Memphis region is the second largest orthopedic-device manufacturing center in the country?
Chamber officials plan to make sure you know those facts and more -- nearly 10 pages more.
"The more people that know positive things about Memphis and the region, the more people that can articulate and communicate," Moore said. "That only helps us sell what's great about Memphis, and hopefully it will instill some pride ... and build the heart of the community."
The rebranding efforts, which were concentrated "in-house" with chamber staff, will help the organization reach those goals, Moore said.
"This name change, this brand change, does not affect how we operate internally as an organization," he said. "What it does change is it allows us a more sophisticated, consistent way to sell the region at the chamber.
"I think that's really important ... that we as the chamber sell the attributes of our community to the people that we want to invest here and provide jobs for our citizens."
