More than a feeling: the benefits of multisensory learning13/03 17:18
Some people think that educating boys and girls separately boosts academic success. Others feel that single-sex schools have no place in the modern world. And one nursery school is trying hard to eliminate all gender stereotyping within a co-ed environment.
Single Sex High School, Australia
Single-sex state schools are increasingly rare in the world today. But 12 percent of secondary schools in Sydney, Australia, are single sex. The idea is that boys and girls achieve better academic results when they are educated separately.
One such school is Epping Boys High, where student Adam said: "It definitely caters to my needs, I am engaged in a lot of programmes such as drama, music and sport and really I don't know any better school. I don't think there is one that caters to the male needs."
Women are not banned from the school – in fact most of the teachers are female.
Head Teacher Peter Garrard said: "Girls often mature earlier than boys, emotionally and also academically. So, if there is always that competition between girls and boys then boys can feel they are inferior and so it's good for boys' self esteem not to have that competition."
Some studies show that boys tend to choose subjects traditionally considered to be "male" (like sport or science) when they are in a mixed-sex environment. In a single-sex school the theory is that they feel more free to do arts and humanities.
In 2010 the school implemented a programme called 'Boys to Men', aiming at preparing them to leave school and enter a mixed-sex world.
Adam explained: "We learn about stuff like sexual harassment and treatment of women in the workplace and in particular some bad choices people have made. The Boys to Men programme is a lot about choices we make as men, so yeah, there are a lot of things about women in Boys to Men."

The World is Not Single Sex
For more insight Learning World interviewed Lise Eliot, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Chicago Medical School.
Learning World: "Are there differences between male and female brains? And do both sexes learn differently?"
Lise Eliot, Professor of Neuroscience, Chicago Medical School: "There's simply no basis for separating boys and girls based on brain differences. And I also dispute the idea that boys and girls learn differently. For all the psychological testing of how children learn to read or learn to do math, the brain circuits that both boys and girls are using are the same. Yes, we know that girls read better. What determines whether boys read as well as girls is simply how much time they spend reading. Same thing for the math. So there really is no neuro or psychological reason for separating boys and girls in education. I think boys and girls have been separated for historical and cultural reasons. Parents are more comfortable having boys and girls in separated classrooms because of sexual attraction, they believe boys and girls distract each other."
Learning World: "If there's a lack of scientific evidence, why is there so much favourable information out there about single sex schools?"
Professor Lise Eliot: "The reason people think single-sex schools are outstanding is because there are many outstanding single-sex schools in existence. But this is a historical leftover from the fact that, in the old days, if a girl wanted to go to a great school she didn't have the option of going to a 'co-ed' school. These wonderful boys' and girls' academies whose students are already quite intelligent, who come from very privileged families, the schools themselves are heavily resourced, they have a lot of money and excellent teachers and so the graduates of these schools do quite well – and that leads to the impression that something about the single-sex nature of those schools was beneficial."
Learning World: "What are the disadvantages of single sex schools?"
Professor Lise Eliot: "The problem with single-sex schools is it creates, we believe, an artificial environment. The world is not single-sex. We need to learn to interact with all kinds of other people: people from different countries, people from different religions, and people of the other gender. The data shows it makes no difference and we believe it's even somehow harmful to separate boys and girls, that they lose the opportunity to learn from each other, that boys lose the verbal enrichment of girls, girls lose the spacial and physical enrichment of boys. Because of the fact they are running countries and running families and running corporations together they need to learn those skills for interaction throughout their development."
Just Friends, Sweden
At Stockholm's Nikolaigården nursery school, children are encouraged to think of themselves as people first, boys or girls second.
Lotta Rajalin, the head-teacher at the school, explained: "My colleagues and I developed our methods of working with equality and democracy in order to give the children a whole life experience. They should have every opportunity to try new activities, experience emotions, take every opportunity, try everything they want, follow every dream."
To avoid gender stereotyping, the children are not called boys or girls but friends and are equally encouraged to play with racing cars or dressing up clothes. The dolls, for example, have no obvious gender, but they do express emotions.
Lotta Rajalin said: "There is nothing wrong with the words 'she' or 'he' but we, the adults that use them, are filled with old stereotypes, old traditions, and we are burdened because we classify boys and girls and women and men. Here we want to change that. We don't want to change the children, they don't need correction. We adults need to correct our thinking."
Sweden is considered a leader in gender equality and was among the first to legalise same-sex marriage, so it is not surprising that the school encourages acceptance of others' life choices.
Anders Bengtsson, a teacher at the school, said: "When it comes to family relationships we have books about adopted children, we have refugee parents in these books. We have books about black and white parents, mixed relationships, books about single parents, books about two parents of the same sex, books about two parents, three parents, and divorced parents. We have children's books about all the ways a family can look."
Some people have criticised the school's approach, but that does not bother those who send their children here.
Parent Susanne Beving said: "The children's development is the important thing. Here they strengthen self-esteem, self-awareness, and creativity — they do a very good job."
Like any nursery school, the accent is on preparing for the future. A future that parents hope will be a little brighter and a little more fair than in the past.
Susanne Glickman, another parent at the school, said: "I want my child to know that he is equal. That he is equal as a boy or a girl, and that he has the same opportunities as everyone else."

Transcript of "Radon glossary "
1. Radon Glossary of TermsAccuracy: The degree of agreement of a measurement (X) with an accepted reference ortrue value (T); usually expressed as the difference between the two values (X – T), or thedifference as a percentage of the reference or true value (100[X – T]/T), and sometimesexpressed as a ratio (X/T).Active radon/radon decay product measurement device: A radon or radon decayproduct measurement system which uses a sampling device, detector, and measurementsystem integrated as a complete unit or as separate, but portable, components. Activedevices include continuous radon monitors, continuous working level monitors, and grabradon gas and grab working level measurement systems, but does not include devicessuch as electret ion chamber devices, activated carbon or other adsorbent systems, oralpha track devices.Alpha particle: Two neutrons and two protons bound as a single particle that is emittedfrom the nucleus of certain radioactive isotopes in the process of decay.Background count rate: The counting rate obtained on a given instrument with abackground counting sample. Typical reference background counting samples are: Empty planchet: for G-M detectors, internal proportional counters, low background beta counters, alpha spectrometers. Scintillation vial containing scintillant and sample known to contain no radioactivity: for liquid scintillation counters. Container filled with distilled water: for gamma spectrometers.Background measurements: Measurements made with either active instrumentsexposed to a radon-free gas, such as aged air or nitrogen, or for passive detectors byanalyzing unexposed detectors. Results are subtracted from the actual field measurementsbefore calculating the reported concentration. Background levels may be due to electronicnoise of the analysis system, leakage of radon into the detector, detector response togamma radiation, or other causes.Background radiation: Radiation arising from radioactive material other than that underconsideration. Background radiation due to cosmic rays and natural radioactivity isalways present; background radiation may also be due to the presence of radioactivesubstances in building materials.
Radon Glossary of TermsBias: A systematic (consistent) error in test results. Bias can exist between test resultsand the true value (absolute bias, or lack of accuracy), or between results from differentsources (relative bias). For example, if different laboratories analyze a homogeneous andstable blind sample, the relative biases among the laboratories would be measured by thedifferences existing among the results from the different laboratories. However, if thetrue value of the blind sample were known, the absolute bias or lack of accuracy from thetrue value would be known for each laboratory. See Systematic error.Blank sample: A control sample in which the detector is unexposed and submitted foranalysis. Often used to determine detector background values.Blind spikes: Detectors exposed to known radon or decay product concentrations andsubmitted for analysis without being labeled as such. Used to evaluate the accuracy of themeasurement.Calibrate: To determine the response or reading of an instrument relative to a series ofknown values over the range of the instrument; results are used to develop correction orcalibration factors.Check source: A radioactive source, not necessarily calibrated, which is used to confirmthe continuing satisfactory operation of an instrument.Coefficient of variation (COV), relative standard deviation (RSD): A measure ofprecision, calculated as the standard deviation (s or s) of a set of values divided by theaverage (Xave or µ), and usually multiplied by 100 to be expressed as a percentage.COV = RSD = / x 100 for a sample,COV = RSD = / x 100 for a populationSee Relative percent difference.curie (Ci): A standard measurement for radioactivity, specifically the rate of decay for agram of radium – 37 billion decays per second. A unit of radioactivity equal to 3.7 x 1010disintegrations per second.
Radon Glossary of TermsDuplicate measurements: Two measurements made concurrently and in the samelocation, or side-by-side. Used to evaluate the precision of the measurement method.Electron: An elementary constituent of an atom that orbits the nucleus and has a negativecharge. Beta decay is radioactive decay in which an electron is emitted from a nucleus.Electron volt (eV): One eV is equivalent to the energy gained by an electron in passingthrough a potential difference of one volt. One unit of energy = 1.6 x 10-12 ergs = 1.6 x10-19 joules; 1 MeV = 106 eV.Equilibrium, radioactive: A state in which the formation of atoms by decay of a parentradioactive isotope is equal to its rate of disintegration by radioactive decay.Equilibrium ratio, radioactive: The total concentration of radon decay products (RDPs)present divided by the concentration that would exist if the RDPs were in radioactiveequilibrium with the radon gas concentration which is present. At equilibrium (i.e., at anequilibrium ratio of 1.0), 1 WL of RDPs would be present when the radon concentrationwas 100 pCi/L. The ratio is never 1.0 in a house. Due to ventilation and plate-out, theRDPs never reach equilibrium in a house environment. A commonly assumedequilibrium ratio is 0.5 (i.e., the progeny are halfway toward equilibrium), in which case1 WL corresponds to 200 pCi/L. However, equilibrium ratios vary with time andlocation, and ratios of 0.3 to 0.7 are commonly observed. Large buildings, includingschools, often contain equilibrium ratios less than 0.5.Exposure time: The length of time a specific mail-in device must be in contact withradon or radon decay products to get an accurate radon measurement. Also calledexposure period, exposure parameters, or duration of exposure.Gamma radiation: Short-wavelength electromagnetic radiation of nuclear origin, withenergies between 10 keV to 9 MeV.Integrating device: A device that measures a single average concentration value over aperiod of time. Also called a time integrating device.
Radon Glossary of TermsIon: An electrically charged atom in which the number of electrons does not equal thenumber of protons.Ionization: The process whereby a neutral atom or molecule becomes negatively orpositively charged by acquiring or losing an electron.Ionizing radiation: Any type of radiation capable of producing ionization in materials itcontacts; includes high-energy charged particles such as alpha and beta rays, and non-particulate radiation such as gamma rays and X-rays. In contrast to wave radiation (e.g.,visible light and radio waves) in which waves do not ionize adjacent atoms as they move.Lower limit of detection (LLD): The smallest amount of sample activity which willyield a net count for which there is confidence at a predetermined level that activity ispresent. For a five percent probability of concluding falsely that activity is present, theLLD is approximately equal to 4.65 times the standard deviation of the backgroundcounts (assuming large numbers of counts where Gaussian statistics can be used [ANSI1989, Pasternack and Harley 1971, U.S. DOE 1990]).Passive radon/radon decay product measurement device: A radon or radon decayproduct measurement system in which the sampling device, detector, and measurementsystem do not function as a complete, integrated unit. Passive devices include electret ionchamber devices, activated carbon or other adsorbent systems, or alpha track devices, butdoes not include continuous radon/radon decay product monitors, or grab radon/radondecay product measurement systems.picocurie (pCi): One pCi is one trillionth of a curie, 0.037 disintegrations per second, or2.22 disintegrations per minute.picocurie per liter (pCi/L): A unit of radioactivity corresponding to one decay every 27seconds in a volume of one liter, or 0.037 decays per second in every liter of air.Pooled estimate of variance: An estimate of precision derived from different sets ofduplicates, calculated as follows:S2dp = s2d1 (n1 - 1) + S2ds (n2 - 1)/(n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1)
Radon Glossary of Termswhere:S2dp = pooled variance;S2d1 = variance observed with the first group of detectors or equipment;S2d2 = variance observed with the second group of detectors or equipment;n1 = sample size of the first group of detectors or equipment; andn2 = sample size of the second group of detectors or equipment.Precision: A measure of mutual agreement among individual measurements of the sameproperty, usually under prescribed and similar conditions. Most desirably expressed interms of the standard deviation, but can be expressed in terms of the variance, pooledestimate of variance, range, relative percent difference, or other statistic.Quality assurance: A complete program designed to produce results which are valid,scientifically defensible, and of known precision, bias, and accuracy. Includes planning,documentation, and quality control activities.Quality control: The system of activities to ensure a quality product, includingmeasurements made to ensure and monitor data quality. Includes calibrations, duplicate,blank, and spiked measurements, interlaboratory comparisons, and audits.Radon (Rn): A colorless, odorless, naturally occurring, radioactive, inert, gaseouselement formed by radioactive decay of radium (Ra) atoms. The atomic number is 86.Although other isotopes of radon occur in nature, radon in indoor air is almostexclusively Rn-222.Radon chamber: An airtight enclosure in which operators can induce and controldifferent levels of radon gas and radon decay products. Volume is such that samples canbe taken without affecting the levels of either radon or its decay products within thechamber.Random error: Variations of repeated measurements that are random in nature and notpredictable individually. The causes of random error are assumed to be indeterminate ornon-assignable. The distribution of random errors is assumed generally to be normal(Gaussian).
Radon Glossary of TermsRange: The difference between the maximum and minimum values of a set of values.When the number of values is small (i.e., eight or less), the range is a relatively sensitive(efficient) measure of variability. As the number of values increases above eight, theefficiency of the range (as an estimator of the variability) decreases rapidly. The range, ordifference between two paired values, is of particular importance in air pollutionmeasurement, since in many situations duplicate measurements are performed as part ofthe quality assurance program.Relative percent difference (RPD): A measure of precision, calculated by:Rd% = [X1 - X2}/Xave x 100where:X1 = concentration observed with the first detector or equipment;X2 = concentration observed with the second detector, equipment, or absolute value; andXave = average concentration = ((X1 + X2) / 2)The relative percent difference (RPD) and coefficient of variation (COV) provide ameasure of precision, but they are not equal. Below are example duplicate radon resultsand the corresponding values of relative percent difference and coefficient of variation:

Leanna Broderick: The Face of Britain's Decline
Even as once great Britain's eyes go dim, life is still good for the freeloaders who are bleeding it to death:
While many families are worrying about how to afford Christmas this year, one jobless single mother has revealed she receives so much in benefits she has :£2,000 to spend on designer gifts, clothes and partying.
Mother-of-two Leanna Broderick plans to buy 20 presents for each of her children, including Burberry and Ralph Lauren outfits, iPads and gold jewellery.
The 20-year-old, who has never worked, claims nearly :£15,500 a year in state handouts.
Why would she work?
She claims she is better off on benefits and would not get a job unless she could continue her luxury lifestyle, which includes designer outfits, holidays abroad, clubbing, lunches out and expensive gifts for her daughters Zelekah, two, and Zakirah, one. …
She said there was 'no point' earning less in a minimum wage job and having to pay for childcare on top.
Leanna qualified for her cushy position by dropping out of school at 16 and becoming pregnant at 17, while taking advantage of government incentives to shun employment and marriage. Her plans for the future:
"I'll stay on benefits and get as much as I can out of it."
What other outcome could anyone possibly expect of liberal welfare policies?

What's your experience with the current housing market?
By Amanda Peacher | Apr. 03, 2013 | 32 Submissions
Some say that the housing market is on the upswing. But while housing prices may still be low, we're hearing that it's difficult for interested buyers to secure a sale.
We're interested in your take. Are you trying to buy? What's your experience with the market? If you're thinking about selling your home, what's going through your mind right now? If you're a real estate agent or a mortgage broker, what's the current trend with your clients? How is the housing market affecting rental prices and availability?
We wanted to know how the housing market in Portland is doing since the economy has begun to recover. We asked PIN members to tell us about their experiences with searching for a house in Portland. They told us of how hard it is to buy a house in Portland because the houses are going so quickly.

I have used Travel Republic quite a few times now. In the past it has only been for hotel rooms and I have always been happy with the service and price. This time though I also booked some tickets for things to do in Orlando. Everything went smoothly without a hitch, not like another site I booked tickets from. I would highly recommend Travel Republic

Schakolad Chocolate Factory Field Trip Gives Kids a Chance to Dip Chocolates
Send your kids on a Willy Wonka-like adventure.
Schakolad Chocolate Factory in Davie is giving kids 6 to 15 a chance to try their hand at dipping chocolates.
The chocolatiers on staff, Dafne Reich and Adriana Schaked, who we assume have dealt with gooey kids before, will provide a 50-minute program starting with a tour of the chocolate factory.
Along the way, the kids learn a brief history of chocolate making around the world, learn how chocolate is made from beans and ends up to bar form, then get to taste a variety of chocolates.
They'll also create special treats "hands on" and decorate a bag to bring them home in. One of the treats includes a chocolate "pizza" made from a chocolate "crust" covered with several "toppings" made from other candies. The "cheese" is made of melted white chocolate.
Whoo hoo -- let's all have sugar comas!
The Schakolad Field Trip schedule is
- July 29, 11-11:50 a.m.
- August 4, 11-11:50 a.m.
- August 11, 11-11:50 a.m.
- August 16, 4-4:50 p.m.
- August 18, 11-11:50 a.m.
Cost is $9.50 per child -- preregistration is required. Call 954-472-6155, or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Expanded store selling all things for Boy Scouts opens in Troy
By Terry Oparka
November 7, 2012
A new store selling all things Boy Scouts opened its doors in Troy Nov. 1.
The Boy Scouts Supply Group operates the 4,500-square-foot Troy Scout Shop, which was formerly located in Waterford. Another scout store, the Dick and Sandy Dauch Scout Center, operates in midtown Detroit.
Chuck Truza, vice president of marketing for the Great Lakes Field Service Council, which serves all scout organizations in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties, directed the opening ceremony at the store Nov. 1 with help from local scouts.
He explained that the Great Lakes Field Service Council is the result of a merger between the Clinton Valley and Detroit Area Councils and serves 25,000 youth with 10,000 volunteers and 24 staff.
Landrum Bagwell of the Boy Scouts National Supply Group, which operates the store, said the store followed a new concept and is only one of six stores in the country.
The location in Troy at Long Lake and Rochester was a good fit, Bagwell said.
"We mapped the membership and tried to get as close as we could to buyers," he said.
"We were challenged at the Waterford office," Jim Huttenlocker, vice president of the Great Lakes Field Service Council said, referring to the smaller space at that store.
He urged everyone to spread the word about what scouting has to offer, adding that the push is on to recruit more scouts.
"We're competing against travel sports, even for first-graders," he said. "Most kids want to be in the program, but they've never been asked."
The Troy Scout Shop has space devoted to allow the paid council staff to do administrative work on site.
Troy Mayor Janice Daniels, Mayor Pro Tem Maureen McGinnis and Councilmen Wade Fleming, Dave Henderson and Dane Slater and Troy city staff were on hand to commemorate the grand opening.
"Thank you for coming to Troy," Daniels said.
Cub Scout Shane Kenyon, 8, of Royal Oak, was among the scouts on hand at the grand opening. He officially cut the ribbon.
"It was a very big honor for him," his mother Christa said.
Jamie Blumenthal, who owns the Long Lake Plaza on Long Lake and Rochester, where the Troy Scout Shop is located, said the space where the new store is located was occupied by a number of physicians but had been vacant for a few years.
"The Boy Scouts are a perfect match," he said. "We completely gutted it," he said of the renovation.
He said that a number of new businesses will or have come to the plaza — Sorrento's Pizza, a new restaurant in the space formerly occupied by Wellington Pub that will have a new balcony and fire pit, a health and wellness spa and Ingram's Candies, opening their first retail outlet. Prior to this, Ingram's had been a wholesale business and supplied chocolate to Plum Market and Emagine Theatre in Royal Oak.
Blumenthal said the center was built in the '70s and underwent a $250,000 remodeling two years ago.
"We customized the space to what tenants wanted," Blumenthal said.
The Troy Scout Shop is located at 1155 E. Long Lake. The store is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Call (248) 253-9596 for information.

A method and a device are for setting the longitudinal speed of a vehicle to a setpoint speed, in particular on the basis of a regulation, having controllable brakes. In operation of a cruise control system, the cruise control may be activated when the instantaneous driving speed is significantly higher than a stored setpoint speed. In this situation, there may be unwanted braking responses by the regulator, which may endanger the driver and the following road users. In such a situation, the method prevents a breaking measure from being implemented and ensures that the vehicle will coast, being braked only by the road resistance and the drag on the engine, until reaching the set speed. The driving response of the cruise control system approximates that of a human driver, so the responses of the automatic cruise control seem more intelligible for the driver.

The present invention relates to a method and a device for setting the longitudinal speed of a vehicle to a setpoint speed, in particular on the basis of a regulation, having controllable brake units.
The basic functioning of methods and devices for regulating the speed or acceleration is referred to as adaptive cruise control (ACC). A basic description of such a device and such a method can be found, for example, in the article "Adaptive Cruise Controls—System Aspects and Development Trends" by Winner, Witte et al., published at SAE 96, Feb. 26-29, 1996 in Detroit (SAE paper no. 961010).
Such a method and device are also described, for example, in German Published Patent Application No. 196 27 727, in which resuming regulation at an original setpoint speed is delayed by the driver in at least one operating mode. If, when regulation is resumed, the vehicle speed is greater than the stored setpoint speed, then, due to the time lag in resumption, the driver has an opportunity to adjust the setpoint speed to prevent an unwanted braking response.
German Published Patent Application No. 43 38 399 describes a method and a device that work together to regulate or limit driving speed. In this method, an estimate is made to determine whether a reduction in engine power will be sufficient to maintain a setpoint speed. If closing the throttle valve is not sufficient to decelerate the vehicle so that the setpoint speed is maintained, then, optionally, the braking power may be increased. This method is used to maintain driving speed at the setpoint speed, without having to operate the brakes by the brake pedal.
With conventional cruise control systems, in most cases only the throttle valve is controlled to regulate the actual speed of the vehicle at a setpoint speed. In isolated cases, there are conventional cruise control systems that can control the brake systems and can thus maintain a constant speed, even in downhill driving.
In vehicles with adaptive cruise control, both the throttle valve and the brake may be controlled, depending on the given situation. In an ACC system, this is done as a function of the speed or the distance from the vehicle in front, depending on whether the vehicle is in distance control mode or speed control mode. In the case when the vehicle is in speed control mode, i.e., no vehicle is within the sensor sight range in front, the setpoint speed is the same as the set speed selectable by the driver. In the case when the vehicle is in distance control mode, i.e., one's own vehicle is following a vehicle in front, the driving speed approaches the setpoint speed. Therefore, in these ACC systems, braking may be performed automatically when the longitudinal speed of the vehicle is greater than the set speed. There are situations in which these regulating responses, in the form of braking measures, are undesirable and would frighten and even endanger both the driver and the following traffic.
This situation occurs in particular when the vehicle speed is significantly higher than the stored set speed, and the driver operates the resume button to reactivate the cruise control. Another situation in which this response can occur is when the driver steps on the gas pedal while ACC regulation is active and thus accelerates the vehicle to a significantly higher speed than the set speed. At the moment when the driver lets off the gas pedal again and the vehicle speed is still far above the set speed, the ACC regulation resumes and the vehicle is braked to the set speed, although the driver is not expecting this response.
The present invention may conform ACC control to the driving response of a skillful and experienced driver, so that in the situations described above, the system will respond differently than in normal operation. It is an object of the present invention to omit the control of brake units as long as there is no termination criterion, such as an obstacle detected in the predicted path range of the regulated vehicle or a time limit being exceeded, in particular in the special cases of resumption of cruise control and driver override in the case when the vehicle speed is higher than the set speed.
In an example method and device according to the present invention, the response of a natural driver in these special situations is simulated, thus avoiding unexpected and unnecessary braking maneuvers, which may frighten and endanger road users.
FIG. 1 is a v-t diagram, in which the longitudinal speed of a vehicle is plotted as a function of time for the case when cruise control is resumed by activating the resume-delay function.
FIG. 2 is a v-t diagram, in which the longitudinal speed of a vehicle is plotted as a function of time for the case of driver override (suspend) by operation of a gas pedal and subsequent deceleration by releasing the gas pedal, thus activating the suspend-delay function.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram indicating which conditions and states lead to the resume-delay and suspend-delay operating modes and how they are terminated.
FIG. 1 illustrates a speed axis 102 plotted over a time axis 101, thus forming a v-t diagram. Curve 105 illustrates vehicle longitudinal speed vFzg as a function of time, i.e., the speed of the vehicle at time t. Curve 107 illustrates set speed vSet of the adaptive cruise control over time t. The time axis is indicated by line 101. Line 103 represents the time when resumption of cruise control is activated by the driver. FIG. 1 illustrates that before time 103, vehicle speed vFzg 105 is significantly higher than set speed vSet 104. At time 103, resumption of control is activated so the regulation intervenes in the driving process again. Since vehicle speed vFzg is much higher than set speed vSet 107, in the traditional case the regulator operates the brake to set the vehicle to set speed vSet, which thus results in a speed profile such as that represented by broken line 106. In such a situation, a human driver would allow the vehicle to coast until reaching set speed vSet instead of braking to decelerate. To simulate this behavior, braking is suppressed, resulting in a speed profile such as that represented by curve 105.
The time curve of the resume-delay flag is plotted in the lower portion of FIG. 1. Line 108 illustrates the times at which the resume-delay flag has been set, and axis 101 is the time axis.
The resume-delay flag is set at the moment when vehicle longitudinal speed vFzg is significantly greater than set speed vSet and resumption is activated, e.g., by depressing a "resume" key. In this mode, a braking measure is prevented as long as there is no need for it. If a sensor detects an obstacle in the vehicle's lane, then the "resume-delay" flag may be removed and a braking measure may be allowed. The "resume-delay" flag may also be removed when set speed vSet is changed, e.g., when vSet is reduced or when the "resume-delay" mode lasts longer than a maximum preselectable value. In the normal case, the "resume-delay" flag may be withdrawn only if the vehicle longitudinal speed vFzg is less than a preselectable extent above set speed vSet. This time is illustrated in FIG. 1 in line 104, at which "resume-delay" flag 108 is also withdrawn.
Another situation in which it is appropriate to prevent a braking measure is when the cruise control is overridden by stepping on the gas pedal and the longitudinal speed of the vehicle is increased significantly in comparison with set speed vSet. This case is described below as a "suspend-delay" function and is illustrated in FIG. 2. FIG. 2, like FIG. 1, is a v-t diagram. The speed axis is 202 and the time axis is 201. Curve 208 represents vehicle longitudinal speed vFzg as a function of time t, and 207 is set speed vSet of the cruise control.
Before time 203, vehicle speed vFzg fluctuates around set speed vSet. At time 203, the gas pedal is operated in the sense of increasing the vehicle speed, so that vehicle speed vFzg is increased significantly in comparison with set speed vSet. The gas pedal remains in operation at time 206, so that the vehicle's speed is increased further in this period of time. At time 204, the gas pedal returns to its original position. In traditional operation, the regulation intervenes again, reducing the speed to set speed vSet by a breaking measure, as illustrated by curve 211. Due to the fact that braking is prevented in this situation according to the present invention, the vehicle is braked only by the road resistance and the drag of the engine, so that the speed curve 208 drops, so it declines much more slowly than in the case of curve 211.
At time 205, vehicle speed vFzg has decreased to the extent that vehicle longitudinal speed vFzg is less than a preselectable extent above set speed vSet. As in the "resume-delay" case, this is also one of the termination criteria for the "suspend-delay" case. Other termination criteria include exceeding a time limit for this operating mode, detecting an obstacle in the same lane as the vehicle, a reduction in set speed by operation of an operating element or deactivation of the distance and speed regulation system.
FIG. 2 illustrates in the lower portion two curves 209 and 210, which correspond to the time axis and the v-t diagram. 209 is the "suspend-delay" flag, which is set at time 204 when the regulator intervenes in the speed control again under the condition that the vehicle longitudinal speed is much greater than the set speed. As long as this "suspend-delay" flag is set, braking is prevented until time 205 when this flag is reset because the vehicle speed is no longer sufficiently higher than the set speed. Line 210 illustrates in which periods of time the gas pedal is operated in the sense of a desired acceleration. The gas pedal is operated at time 203 in the sense of increasing speed, it remains activated for time period 206, and it is returned to the starting position at time 204.
For the case when one of these two operating modes—"resume-delay" or "suspend-delay"—is active when driving downhill, a braking measure is provided but it is only as great as required by the gradient, so as not to further accelerate the vehicle.
FIG. 3 illustrates the states and transitions such as those occurring with the "resume-delay" and "suspend-delay" modes and how these modes may be canceled again. For example, region 301 indicates an active cruise control system, in contrast with block 302, which indicates the operating mode when the cruise control, which may also be an adaptive cruise control (ACC), has been deactivated. Block 303 within mode 301 represents the normal operating case of the cruise control, also referred to as the first operating mode. Transition 308 from the shutdown state to the active normal operating mode represents activation by an operating element. Conversely, transition 309 indicates deactivation of the cruise control by actuating a shutdown operating element.
Two possible modes may be assumed from mode 303. One is mode 304, which may be reached by transition 310. Transition 310 occurs when the brake pedal has been actuated by the driver, whereupon the cruise control system is deactivated and goes into the "resume" mode. If the operating element for resuming cruise control is actuated in this mode, under the assumption that vFzg>vSet+delta, transition 311 occurs, whereupon "resume-delay" mode 305 is assumed by preventing a braking measure. If vehicle speed vFzg is reduced below vSet+delta, the "resume-delay" mode is canceled and the vehicle is continued in normal regulating mode. The second possible mode that may be assumed from normal operating mode 303 is "suspend" mode 306. If, in normal operating mode 303, the gas pedal is operated in the sense of increasing the speed, the regulating operation is interrupted and vehicle speed vFzg is increased to a value greater than vSet+delta, so transition 313 leads into "suspend" mode 306. If the driver subsequently releases the gas pedal while the speed is still elevated, thus fulfilling transition condition 314, "suspend" mode 306 develops into "suspend-delay" mode 307. Subsequently, the vehicle speed declines again slowly until meeting transition condition 315, which presupposes vFzg<vSet+delta. In this case, the "suspend-delay" mode which prevents braking goes back to normal operating case 303 where a braking measure is provided.
Operating modes 305 and 307 are the two modes which are also referred to as second operating modes. In these two modes, a braking measure is prevented to simulate the driving response of a human driver and thus prevent unexpected regulating responses by the cruise control system. When downhill driving is detected in these two modes 305 and 307, braking is nevertheless performed to prevent acceleration of the vehicle due to negative road resistance.
These two special cases of the "resume" operating mode and the "suspend" operating mode are thus handled in a uniform manner.
A driving response that corresponds to that of a human driver and thus seems logical and reproducible to the driver is provided by the method according to the present invention. The cruise control system may therefore be operated with an optimally adapted operating mode in all situations, so that the driver and the road users following the driver are not exposed to any unnecessary dangers.

Domestic Violence Bill Passes Out of Committee
A bill filed that would expand domestic violence protection for unmarried couples in Kentucky has cleared committee and is headed for a vote before the full state House.
Previous efforts to expand protections have stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate.
Right now, if someone is abused by their spouse, the parent of their child, or someone they live with, that person can get an emergency protective order against their abuser. But, if you're in a dating relationship, you have to try and get a warrant, and a warrant is harder to get than an emergency order.
Bills like this, that would let dating partners get emergency protective orders, have passed the House before, only to die in the Senate.
Senate President Robert Stivers told reporters this year that he thinks the current system is working just fine. But Kentucky Domestic Violence Association president Darlene Thomas says it isn't.
"We are the ones that often repeatedly hear the desperation in the voices of dating violence victims and their victims, and hear comments such as 'Do I have to be killed before someone will decide I need protection?' Or, 'You mean to tell me because I've never lived with somebody I can't get help?'," Thomas said.
Governor Steve Beshear gave his support to the measure in his State of the Commonwealth address this week.

Robin and his Bow
Robin took to the greenwood of Sherwood Forest, making a living by stealing from rich travellers and distributing the loot among the poor of the area. In the process he gained a band of followers and a spouse, Maid Marian. Despite the best efforts of the evil Sherrif of Nottingham he avoided capture until the return of King Richard from the Crusades brought about a full pardon and the restoration of Robin's lands.
And because of that, they made him this statue right outside Nottingham Castle.
So, shoplifters of the world, unite and take over!

Alaska state Rep. Richard Foster is sick. The lawmaker had a stroke last week, and he's in need of a new kidney. Fortunately, several people in the state Capitol have offered to donate a kidney to the Foster.
The problem? Donating a kidney apparently would violate the state's ethics law, which spells out strict limits on the gifts legislators can receive. The law does have an exemption for "compassionate gifts" -- which would include a kidney -- but those are prohibited if they exceed $250.
And a kidney, apparently, costs more than $250.
The state might amend the law to strike the spending limit on compassionate gifts. In the meantime, though, Foster might be well advised to accept the kidney and pony up the fine for the ethics violation.
