Abbas honors terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, killer of 37
This week Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas once again honored the memory of the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi – this time by sponsoring a ceremony celebrating the 50th anniversary of her birth. Mughrabi led the worst terror attack in Israel's history in 1978, when she and other terrorists hijacked a bus and killed 37 civilians. Present at the ceremony were Palestinian dignitaries and a children's marching band. Earlier this year, Abbas sponsored a computer center named after Mughrabi.
The PA further glorified Mughrabi on the date of her birth when the Governor of Ramallah announced the naming of the "Dalal Mughrabi Square".

Someone broke into a road grader owned by the Baxter County Road and Bridge Department and stole a radio. The grader, according to a Baxter County Sheriff's Department report, was parked near the intersection of County Road 57 and State Highway 201 South, last month when the incident occurred.
The lock on the right hand side door of the grader was damaged by the intruder who then cut the power cables and stole a Motorola radio that mounted behind the driver's seat. The radio was valued at $700 and the damage to the door lock was estimated at $200.

Actress Song Hye-kyo and actor Song Chang-eui have been cast in new film together, according to actor Song's agency BOM Actors on Tuesday.
An official at BOM Actors confirmed over the phone that the two actors will star in a film tentatively titled "Nobody Somebody" which is aiming for release in May of this year.
Actress Song will play a female TV producer who goes through much pain after losing her fiancee through an unexpected car accident and actor Song, her friend.

Carolyn Hong – Straits Times Indonesia
Kuala Lumpur. An anti-gay campaign is being ramped up by Malaysia's pro-Umno media, in what appears to be a bid to sway public opinion against opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim following his acquittal on sodomy charges.
Leading the charge is the Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia, which despite a lawsuit filed by Anwar has published a series of articles criticizing what it described as a trend to promote the gay culture in Malaysia.
The move appears to be aimed at discrediting Anwar as a general election looms, by suggesting that he is guilty of sodomizing his male aide even though the court had acquitted him recently.
Observers say the repetition of claims that Anwar has the support of international gay rights proponents, or that he himself supported gay rights, is aimed at lending legitimacy to the impression being created that the opposition leader is a homosexual.
"It's a reminder that the acquittal does not equate to being not guilty," said political analyst P. Sivamurugan at the University Sains Malaysia. The anti-gay campaign, he noted, had been ramped up amid growing speculation that the general election was imminent.
As homosexuality is seen as one of the gravest sins in Islam, the campaign could diminish Anwar's standing as a devout Muslim leader and drive a wedge between him and his political ally, Parti Islam SeMalaysia.
It appears to be targeted at conservative Malay-Muslims in the rural areas, who represent one of the last remaining bastions of hardcore support for the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.
Pro-Umno media were quick to jump on Anwar after he gave an interview with the BBC, in which he commented on anti-gay laws in Malaysia saying: "We should not be seen to be punitive and consider the archaic law as relevant."
He stressed, however, that Malaysians remained committed to the sanctity of marriage between men and women, and that the opposition Pakatan Rakyat alliance did not promote homosexuality in the public domain.
Utusan Malaysia allegedly called Mr Anwar a gay rights proponent after the interview, prompting him to sue the Umno-backed paper for RM150 million (S$62 million) last week.
Yesterday, however, an Utusan Malaysia columnist continued the debate, writing that there was now a movement by some gay rights proponents to link sexual rights with democracy.
Professor Azmi Hassan from University Teknologi Malaysia said these groups were equating gay rights with human rights and the Arab revolution, on the basis that these were different aspects of the struggle for democracy.
"What is most worrying is that the benchmark for a mature democracy is that a country is gay-friendly," he wrote.
His comments came just a day after a pro-Umno blog slammed an Australian journalist who wrote about Prime Minister Najib Razak's wife Rosmah Mansor's alleged shopping spree in Sydney recently.
The anonymous blogger, writing under the name Pisau.Net (pisau means knife in Malay), hit out at the opposition for blowing up the issue in the Sydney Morning Herald, and referred to the journalist Andrew Hornery as a gay reporter.
"Anything that has to do with Pakatan (Rakyat) must be gay. The latest is the slander against Rosmah," the blogger wrote.
Such allegations have been rife ever since Anwar was acquitted earlier this month, with political rivals pointing out on the day of the acquittal that the judge had not fully exonerated him of sodomizing his male aide. The case, they said, had merely been thrown out on the grounds that DNA evidence used by the prosecution may have been compromised.
The judge has yet to issue his full judgment, and the prosecution has appealed against the acquittal.
Whether the campaign against Anwar will be effective remains to be seen.
Sivamurugan said there may be some impact, but warned that it could also backfire if the attacks on the opposition leader were seen to be too excessive.
"It may end up gaining Anwar sympathy, as people may be tired of this issue that has been playing for almost 14 years," he said, referring to the time Anwar was first charged with sodomy in 1998.
Prominent lawyer Azhar Harun, who writes a popular blog on political issues, too felt that the Malay community might feel sympathy if they believed the attacks on the opposition leader and his family had crossed the line.
Indeed, earlier surveys carried out by the independent Merdeka Centre have shown that while Malay-Muslims tend to be conservative about religious issues, such issues do not play a major role when they vote.
Said Azhar: "I think many Malaysians have had enough of this. It's overkill."

"A very quick and easy way to make something like mousse that is quite healthy and great for the family. The ingredient amounts can be altered according to the cook's desire to have a more or less chocolatey concoction. Different kinds of chocolate can be used also, like dark chocolate."

1 (1.5 ounce) bar
milk chocolate candy bar
1 tablespoon
1 1/2 cups
plain fat-free Greek yogurt
Honestly, this surprised the heck out of me...we REALLY liked it! Nice smooth, creamy texture and tastes totally decadent. Yes, there is a tiny bit of a tang from the yogurt, but it's not overpowering. Effortless to make, literally taking just a few minutes. I didn't have Greek yogurt, so I used the Dannon non-fat plain yogurt I had in the fridge and just drained it for about an hour in a colander lined with paper towels. I could see using vanilla yogurt for a slight variation on flavor, as well. On top of these positive comments, nutritionally it's a superstar...you can satisfy that sweet tooth without guilt!
I tried the recipe 2 times. Upon my first attempt my yogurt looked what I though was thick. However, after I stirred it, it was like a chocolate yogurt drink. So, I decided to just blend it and drank it. It tasted like tart chocolate milk. The second time I made sure to buy the thickest yogurt type I know of and used that. This time I mixed in and it had a thicker texture. However, it just looked and tasted like chocolate flavored yogurt. It definitely didn't have the dark chocolaty appearance of the main photo. It was more of a tan color. If you are looking to make flavored yogurt, this would be the recipe to go to. Using a thick Greek yogurt works well to do that. A mousse though, this is not.

Wonderful and very quick! My 8 year old loved making this delicious dessert. He added strawberries on the top for extra healthy dessert!
A huge surprise! This was really good. I did play with this a bit. I omitted the milk (why dilute the chocolate! and the thicker the mousse the better). As a result I had to microwave chocolate for about 2 minutes (and I used 80% power to avoid burning chocolate). I also used a 70% cocoa dark chocolate (was a bit bitter for this recipe, I think a 50% would be perfect!) and I only added 1c plain greek yogurt (this is the key...it MUST be greek for it to have the mousse texture) and added 1/4 tsp of vanilla (pure) to it. I topped it with fresh strawberries! Delicious. Serves 2. THANKS for the great recipe idea!!!
It is such an easy recipe but with a very great flavour! Prepared in lightspeed yet the result is satisfying! A great treat for dorm-living poeple.
I used Fage greek yogurt and a dark chocolate bar. I'll try to use a 50% cacao bar next time instead of the 70%. To try and dampen the yogurt "tang" I added a sprinkle of cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla extract. It helped! Not my favorite chocolate mousse alternative BUT I am pregnant and nothing at the moment beats the real thing but I do have to watch my sugar intake. This is probably the closest I'm gonna get.
Great snack

Why trafficked women must be 'perfect'
by Louisa Waugh Published
This week, a trauma of psychiatrists, psychologists and other cerebral folk are descending on London for the third International Mental Health Conference. It's being held at the Maudsley Hospital Institute of Psychiatry, and the theme is "people on the move". Speakers and delegates will be analysing the mental health of people who migrate, emigrate, are smuggled or trafficked. One of the speakers is Dr Cathy Zimmerman. She isn't a shrink, but a public health policy worker who researches the physical and psychological health of trafficked women and girls. Working alongside international NGOs, Zimmerman and her team from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine spent two years interviewing more than 200 women and girls who had been trafficked into sex industries across Europe. She'll be presenting her findings at the conference.
I spoke to her a few days ago, and asked what her chief recommendation was going to be. "Time," she said immediately. "Our research consistently shows that when women get away from their traffickers, their mental health symptoms do not reduce for at least 90 days. They need time to trust the authorities, especially the police, and time to regain their mental health."
Trafficked women display symptoms that include severe depression, anxiety, hostility and wanting to die. Awareness of this long-term damage has slowly filtered into governmental and police consciousness. The police in particular recognise that trafficking covers a vast spectrum of exploitation and abuse, and women don't all fit into one neat profile. But under current legislation, especially immigration legislation, the onus is still on trafficked women to present as "perfect victims".
Being a perfect victim means that, on first contact with a police or immigration officer, a trafficked woman will immediately confide her status, trusting them to assist her, regardless of how many corrupt and sadistic officials she has encountered en route to the UK. If she's from an EU state, she is automatically entitled to remain in Britain, though safe accommodation is scarce, and refuges are constantly overwhelmed by referrals. Women from outside Europe, though, are still at the mercy of the UK immigration service. When the Home Office-funded Poppy Project was independently evaluated last year, one of the recommendations put forward was that "the immigration service needs to engage more effectively with min isterial strategies that do not necessarily culminate in the removal of women who have been trafficked". There is no evidence of a revised immigration strategy.
A perfect victim is also willing, and able, immediately to give police detailed intelligence that is accurate enough to lead to her assailants being arrested, and their assets seized. When the case eventually goes to trial, she will be a co-operative witness and testify live in court. This means explaining in graphic detail the physical and sexual violations she has endured, while her trafficker(s) are in the same room, listening.
Under current UK legislation, it is almost impossible to convict a trafficker without a woman testifying against him in court. Many women testify from behind a protective screen, though some have even been denied this privilege. The testimony of a perfect victim needs to withstand rigorous cross-questioning, but be harrowing enough to have her traffickers locked away for 20 years. (One of the reasons convictions for rape are at an all-time low in Britain, with less than 6 per cent of rapes reported to police resulting in a conviction, is that for many women testifying against a rapist is an ordeal too far.)
After her traffickers have been convicted, a perfect victim will go back home. She may receive assistance from one of the international anti-trafficking organisations, but her long-term options are going to be very limited. She is extremely unlikely ever to receive compensation from her traffickers.
The point is that UK provisions don't reflect the realities of trafficking. Cathy Zimmerman's research illustrates how when a victim has physical sanctuary, time to recover, and space to make informed decisions, the police get better, more accurate evidence from her. And the woman stands a better chance of surviving intact. During Operation Pentameter, many trafficked women were given a "cooling-off period", and 234 arrests were made.
Signing the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings would guarantee all victims of trafficking in the UK at least 30 days' sanctuary, whatever industry they have been trafficked into. The UK government is still jittery that this could lead to a tide of migrants making spurious claims. They need not fear. Thirty-two of the 46 Council member-states have signed up, and not one has subsequently reported a massive increase in migrant claims for sanctuary.

2024 is only a decade away -- are you a gimme, or a dim?

Re: 2024 is only a decade away -- are you a gimme, or a dim?
I agree with you that there are people out there who want the best jobs handed to them without having to earn them.
But unfortunately, among the people who are working hard, there are many forces other than just merit that determine your fate. Some people were never given access to education, some people had to take care of their families and didn't have an opportunity to become educated. Some people just don't have the social skills to advertise their merits. And, success begets success, failure begets failure. The easiest way to get a good job is to already have a good job. One failure or one gap on your resume will brand you forever.
It's also heavily implied in this episode that anybody found without means to provide for themselves is immediately shipped into the districts without recourse or path to release.
There's a difference between saying 'Hard work should be rewarded, jobs should not be handed on a silver platter' and saying 'Maybe we shouldn't treat people as subhuman because they're having a bad run.'
The majority of the 'rich' are not that way because they work particularly hard. Wealth tends to generate more wealth, little effort involved. The notion that the rich are rich because they deserve it is often a way of justifying privilege and inequality. Pointing at a self made milionnaire (and coincidentally a great employer) like Richard Branson does not prove that all of the rich are deserving.
Yes and no. Yeah the rich person's son doesn't have to interview for his VP job, and you are de-facto a serious presidential candidate for no other qualification than having the same name as a previous president. But if you take two average people born in the same situation, one of them works hard and the other does not, the one that works hard will probably have the better job.

A neck lift offers a smoother and more toned appearance to skin under the chin and neck area that has lost elasticity. An elegant neck contour is not only associated with a youthful appearance, but also with health and vitality.
Cleveland Clinic Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Center surgeons offer many neck lift procedures (also called a cervicoplasty) and complimentary cosmetic techniques for both men and women that result in a younger, more vibrant look – and overall outlook.
Male in his late sixties concerned about skin excess in his neck. Patient underwent a neck lift through direct excision of his neck skin. Patient is shown before neck lift (left) and two years after neck lift (right).
Female in her late fifties who had sub-mental liposuction. Patient is shown before neck lift (left) and four months after neck lift (right).
Female in her late fifties who had a neck lift Patient is shown before neck lift (left), and six months after neck lift (right).
Aging of the neck is usually a combination of loose skin and muscle and some excess fat. This combination results in the so-called "turkey gobbler." For those who simply want this area treated and not the entire face, a neck lift can be beneficial. A neck lift can be performed on those who feel the need to improve their neck contour. Typical patients range between the ages of 30 and 70.
Good candidates for neck lift surgery include:
For a neck lift through a chin incision, the degree of profile improvement correlates best with skin quality. Therefore, good candidates for neck lift through a chin incision surgery include:
Preparing for your neck lift procedure at Cleveland Clinic Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Center will include discussing a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle with your plastic surgeon. He or she will evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors as part of this consultation.
To ensure the best results from your neck lift procedure, be prepared to discuss:
Your plastic surgeon may also:
Neck lifts deal only with the neck itself. They cannot correct problems of the brow area, which are better treated with a forehead lift, or problems with the lower two-thirds of the face, which is addressed with a facelift.
A neck lift typically takes between two and three hours to complete.
Surgery cannot stop aging, so in all likelihood the results of your neck lift will not last forever. You will begin to see a little loose skin in the area in several years. Significant weight gain can also affect the results, causing neck fullness and sagging.
The neck often ages disproportionately when compared to the remainder of the face. This is often due to the lack of strength of the jaw line or the position of the breakpoint where the neck begins.
This is specifically differentiated from a facelift, which involves the lower two-thirds of the face, as well as the neck and undersurface of the chin. The neck lift is less involved than a facelift.
One of the best ways to decide if cosmetic surgery is right for you is by meeting with a cosmetic or plastic surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Center.
During this first consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss your goals and expectations. Your surgeon will also:
Neck lift surgery can be performed in a variety of ways:
The results of a neck lift procedure are visible almost immediately. Your final results may take several months for all subtle swelling to subside. Because of the minimally invasive approach used at Cleveland Clinic Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Center, scars from this procedure may be small in properly selected patients. Overall results are generally long lasting.
Recovery from a neck lift takes time, and it's important that you're patient with the process. Most people can return to work in seven to 14 days. If you participate in sports or are physically active, you will have to wait at least three weeks to resume those activities.
Your plastic surgeon may also recommend you wear a medical compression bandage to help reduce post-operative swelling. This is usually worn night and day for at least five to seven days and then only at night for a longer period of time. It's important to follow instructions to ensure proper recovery.
All surgical procedures carry some risk. Possible complications from a neck lift include:
If you're considering a neck lift, look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with specialized training and significant experience performing neck lift procedures. Consider going to a plastic surgeon who is affiliated with a major medical center, such as Cleveland Clinic. Ask your plastic surgeon about credentials, training and how many neck lift procedures he or she has performed. Facial Cosmetic Surgeries at Cleveland Clinic
Like all cosmetic procedures, neck lift is not covered by health insurance plans. Ask to talk with a financial representative from Cleveland Clinic Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Center who can explain the costs of the procedure and payment options.

Becoming a Reflective Mathematics Teacher: A Guide for Observations and Self-Assessment is the latest in the well-received Studies in Mathematics Thinking and Learning Series, edited by Alan Schoenfeld. The book is a culmination of over 20 years of research and teaching and is an important read for preservice mathematics teachers, their professors, and those presently teaching mathematics. This review will focus on preservice teachers but the application to their professors and mathematics teachers will become apparent.
The authors argue that great teachers can be made through, among other things, a "willingness and ability to be a reflective, self-critical thinker" (p.xvii). This implies that the "perfect" lesson might be seen as the limit of reflections on one's lessons. But there is more. The process of reflection and self-assessment must be approached in a manner that has the preservice mathematics teacher, with the aid of a model, gaining control over instructional practice. The authors "argue that over time, the habitual use of reflective and self-assessment processes about learning experiences leads to transformation in teaching" (p.7). Accordingly, they developed activities designed to help preservice teachers make connections between what they learn in their methods course(s) and what they observe in actual practice, to how they and others observe their own teaching. One becomes excited at the possibility of preservice teachers transferring what they learn in their preservice teachers' mathematics education courses to their internship and their subsequent teaching careers.
The authors state that the fundamental premise of this book is that teachers' instructional practices and their thoughts behind the lessons must be student-centered for students to learn mathematics with understanding. The book is divided into three parts. Part I provides the philosophical basis for the model. The model consists of two interrelated frameworks where teaching for student learning with understanding is fundamental. The Phase-Dimension Framework considers such basic components of a lesson as the tasks provided to students, the learning environment and the classroom discussion that includes both teachers and students. The Teacher Cognitions Framework takes into consideration the goals that teachers establish for their students, their beliefs and knowledge about teaching and learning mathematics, the content, their students, and the decisions that they make before, during and after teaching a lesson. The two frameworks together help to provide some insight into the relationship between teachers' thoughts behind every lesson and their teaching. The model is utilized in the authors' teacher education programs to help the preservice teachers make sense of their own teaching and that of others. Evidence that supports the model's validity is provided in the chapter on "Putting It All Together."
Part II, "How to Use the Model," contains chapters that deal with preservice teachers examining their own and other teacher's instructional practice, the corresponding thinking that goes into making teaching decisions, and using a portfolio to document how to engage in self-assessment and reflection. The chapter on "Using the Model to Examine the Instructional Practice and Cognitions of Other Teachers" contains 10 observations of lessons actually taught in high school. The model helps focus the preservice teacher on various aspects of teachers' instructional practices and has the preservice teachers making conjectures regarding the observed teachers' related thoughts. The observations are arranged so that there is a focus on content, the teacher, and finally on the students. The 10th observation gives the preservice teacher an opportunity to apply what they have learned from the nine previous observations.
I look forward to utilizing this model with my preservice teachers when they visit classrooms during their pre-internship semester. Hopefully, the preservice teachers will evolve in how they teach mathematics by reflecting on both how they were taught and what they have learned in their mathematics education classes.
Part III, "Evidence: The Model in Action," contains five case studies that look at issues that come up when preservice teachers reflect and assess the thoughts behind their lesson planning and instructional practices. The case studies clarify further how the model works to improve instruction in mathematics. One gets a glimpse of the complex but dynamic interplay within the model on the journey to beginning to understand one's teaching. It is of interest where the reader becomes aware of the inconsistencies between the preservice teachers' thinking as they prepare their lessons and when they evaluate and revise their lessons after teaching them. Forms needed to apply the model are located in the appendices and include structured observation activities "designed to help students relate the concepts they learn in their methods course to the instructional practice they observe in actual mathematics classrooms" (p. xix). The model provides the preservice teacher with an instrument for reflecting on one's teaching and striving to improve it. As the authors remind us, "great teachers are not born, they are made" (p.xvii)!

Making StumbleUpon work for YOU!
Posted in Marketing, Social media
StumbleUpon is looked at differently by bloggers, they either hate it or they love it. The actual benefits of StumbleUpon depend very much upon what the blogger is looking for. It's all a question of time.
How much time do you want to dedicate another Social Network? Is StumbleUpon something you can do most of the time? Or something you will do occasionally?
For Occasional Users
Traffic Driving
Use StumbleUpon as a primary traffic driving tool. Every article you write should be submitted straight to StumbleUpon, if it's interesting and categorised correctly, others may 'stumble' it too; right there within the StumbleUpon network (not including your regular readers). The more people that stumble your article, the more views your page will receive. Chances are that if your content is good, people will choose to explore your website further.
The downside to using StumbleUpon in the hope of traffic is that your blog will receive an unusually high 'bounce rate'. A bounce rate is essentially the statistic given to users that visit your website for a few seconds and without exploring any further, leave your website. This is what StumbleUpon was actually designed for… giving its users access to content that interests them without having to crawl the web themselves, so users are in 'bouncing' mind frames.
When using StumbleUpon for your blog promotion though, don't let 'bounce rate' get you down. You have to remember that you are using SU (StumbleUpon) as part of your promotional toolkit; you can blame SU as a contributing factor for a high bounce rate.
Reward Loyalty
StumbleUpon lets you create a profile, it also allows you to comment on links and follow other users. The casual SU user may not want to spend too much time building up a great profile and networking effectively with other stumblers, but a casual user can easily reward loyalty. If somebody stumbles your pages or comments on them relatively frequently, reward them with by following them back; perhaps even stumbling their webpages (if they have any).This helps increase a type of brand loyalty right there within SU using only 2-3 clicks of your mouse.
For the Power User
We just talked about the casual user being able to reward loyalty with just a few clicks of the mouse, this is true. A Power User of StumbleUpon can take this to an entirely new level.
Networking is the backbone of any successful blog, it requires a lot of initial effort, but in the long-run you'll benefit tremendously. This is very much the same within StumbleUpon. You should find out who the influencers are within your niche on StumbleUpon – who has the most users that pushes content related to your own? Follow them. Initiate a dialect; perhaps 'Stumble' their videos? Do they blog? If so, comment on their posts. Be positive and keep at it.
If you network for long enough, some of these 'popular' users will stumble your pages, giving them more visibility and the potential for more virility. The algorithm of StumbleUpon is unknown, but people speculate that users with more activity and followers influence much higher levels of traffic. This could be because their opinion is more respected and trusted; it must be to continually gain followers right?
Other Power Users are who you need to be engaging with, get them to push your blog to their followers. In the process of constant activity and interaction, you will eventually gain more followers becoming a Power User yourself.
Beautiful Profile
When you create your StumbleUpon profile, make it beautiful and ensure it sticks with the branding of your blog. This will create a consistency for your blog readers to become comfortable with and will help new followers gained through StumbleUpon transfer to your website more easily – Consistent branding is key to any form of memorable promotion.
Finally, once your profile is up to scratch, be sure to not just stumble your own articles. Stumble other related content. This will provide a more diverse and rich viewing experience for followers – you don't just use StumbleUpon as a promotional tool; you use StumbleUpon because you love it. A fuller, more varied profile of content will be much more preferred to an SU user.

Dinsmore Sets Personal Record of 24.77 in 200-Meter Dash at Gregory Invitational
NAPERVILLE, ILL. -- Several times in the past few weeks, Willamette University sprinter Jaela Dinsmore (Sr., Hines, OR; Burns HS) has been forced to lower her time in the 100-meter dash or the 200-meter dash in order to keep herself in contention for a trip to the NCAA Division III Championships in one or both events. She has been succeeding in that quest.
On Friday, May 18 at the Gregory Invitational hosted by North Central College, she continued her string of top performances.
She held off several national challengers while matching her top time of 12.09 seconds at 100 meters and lowered her personal record time at 200 meters to 24.77 seconds while taking first place in the event. As a result, she is within striking distance of the national meet.
As of Friday night, Dinsmore was part of a three-way tie for 19th in the nation in the 100-meter dash and was involved in a three-way tie for 18th in the 200-meter dash.
Some results from last chance meets may not be entered into the national computer system until Saturday, and selections for the NCAA Championships will not become official until Sunday.
The top 22 women and the top 20 men in each event on the NCAA Division III performance list will qualify for the NCAA Championships, set for May 24-26 at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges in Claremont, Calif.
At the Gregory Invitational, Dinsmore tied her personal record of 12.09 seconds in the preliminary heats of the 100-meter dash. Her time ranked first among 22 runners in the prelims, including three athletes ranked behind Dinsmore in the national top 40 and two athletes in front of her on the national performance list.
Dinsmore was one of several competitors who qualified for the 100-meter finals, but did not compete. Runners who did compete in the finals were unable to register a better time than Dinsmore's result from the prelims.
The extra time between races helped Dinsmore prepare for the 200-meter dash, where she was ranked 26th at 24.93 prior to Friday's meet. She needed a faster time to move into the top 22, and she accomplished the feat, lowering her best time by 0.16 seconds.
Dinsmore's new top time of 24.77 seconds in the 200-meter dash advanced her from third place into second place on Willamette's all-time list. She trails only Sonda Strong, who set the school record of 24.60 seconds in 1989.
Overall, a select group of four Willamette athletes represented the Bearcats at the Gregory Invitational. All four registered quality times.
Paul Winger (Sr., Bonney Lake, WA/Bonney Lake HS) achieved a personal record time of 48.55 seconds and took fifth place in the men's 400-meter dash. His time was 0.02 seconds faster than his previous best result of 48.57 seconds, set at the Willamette Last Chance meet exactly two years ago.
His new record time also was 0.09 faster than his previous season best of 48.64, set last weekend at the West Coast Invitational.
In addition, Winger competed in the 200-meter dash and registered a time of 22.19 seconds, as he placed 10th out of 39 runners. He missed his season-best time of 22.13 seconds by just 0.06.
Theresa Edwards (Jr., Lake Tapps, WA/Bonney Lake HS) competed in the women's 1,500-meter run and placed seventh with a time of 4:38.67. Edwards, ranked 36th on the Division III performance list, missed her season-best and personal-record time of 4:37.24 by 1.43 seconds.
Michaela Freeby (Fr., Milwaukie, OR/Rex Putnam HS) ran in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase and won the event with a time of 10:59.20. She was just over two seconds away from her personal record of 10:57.44, set last weekend. Her top time is ranked 21st in NCAA Division III.

By Kathleen T. RhemAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2002 Coalition forces this morning struck an Iraqi air defense center after a coalition plane in the area dropping leaflets was fired upon, defense officials said.
A coalition plane in the southern no-fly zone Oct. 2 was dropping leaflets advising Iraqi air-defense artillery operators that if they track or fire on coalition planes they are placing themselves in danger, according to a DoD spokesman.
An Iraqi air defense site fired anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles on the plane. U.S. officials would not say what type of plane it was.
Coalition aircraft struck an Iraqi air defense sector headquarters and integrated operations center near Tallil, roughly 160 miles southeast of Baghdad, with precision- guided weapons at 4:30 this morning Eastern Time, 12:30 p.m. in Iraq.
A DoD spokesman said he believed the site struck by coalition aircraft is the same site that fired on the plane dropping leaflets the previous day.
Defense officials said they aren't sure if the leaflets had sufficient time to reach the ground and be read before the plane was fired upon.
Coalition planes only attack Iraqi sites "in response to Iraqi hostile threats and acts against coalition forces and their aircraft," according to a news release from U.S. Central Command.
Defense officials said it's possible Iraqi soldiers manning air defense sites don't know coalition aircraft only strike those sites as a self-defense measure. The leaflets are intended to educate them.
The leaflets dropped in Iraq are in Arabic. An English translation of the pamphlet released by DoD states: "The destruction experienced by your colleagues in other air defense locations is a response to your continuing aggression toward planes of the coalition forces. No tracking or firing on these aircraft will be tolerated. You could be next."
Officials said this is the first time since 1991 that coalition forces had dropped leaflets over Iraq.
"We just want them to get the message, 'Hey, this is why we keep striking,'" Navy Lt. Dan Hetlage, a DoD spokesman, explained.
In 2002, there have been more than 140 separate incidents of Iraqi artillery and surface-to-air missiles fired at coalition aircraft in the northern and southern no-fly zones.
Before today, the most recent coalition armed response was an Oct. 1 attack on a mobile radar site near Al Kut, roughly 100 miles southeast of Baghdad. That attack came after Iraq moved a military mobile radar south of the 33rd parallel, which delineates the southern no-fly zone, and flew military aircraft into that zone, Central Command officials said.

As important as Princess Aracoma is to the Shawnee Indians, the Mountain Man is just as important to telling her story.
The entire production comes to life through the words of one central character. That character is played this year by Roger Burdette of Madison. Burdette teaches English and Literature at Scott High School. He has been involved in local theatre for nearly four decades. He has acted in and directed several shows.
Burdette is no stranger to the role of the Mountain Man. He has laced up the boots and applied the beard well over a hundred times through the years. He even admits that he's not sure of the exact number. "A bunch," he says with a laugh. He has been absent from the stage in recent years as he took care of his sick mother who passed away this past March.
Burdette was also part of the team that brought the show to Chief Logan State Park in the late 70s. He remembers the hard work that went into transforming wilderness into a stage and seats for the public.
It isn't the stage and set that keeps him coming back year after year. Burdette says it's the people. "I will always have a special place in my heart for this organization and the people who make it happen."
Burdette says the show is never the same. He says there are new directors, new cast members, and even new lines. Burdette said, with a laugh, "They have changed my lines just enough to make it next to impossible to deliver them.
Economic times being what they are, it may be difficult for families to enjoy an evening out. LB&T and The Aracoma Story Inc. are teaming up to offer a special discount for tonight's performance of The Aracoma Story.
Tonight, July 24th, LB&T is sponsoring a Kid's Half Price Ticket Night. All children 12 and under will be admitted for just $4. Also, each child will be given a box of popcorn at no charge with the purchase of a bottle of Pepsi or Pepsi product.
The Aracoma Story will run tonight through August 4, 2013. Showtime is 8:30 p.m. nightly at the Liz Spurlock Amphitheatre. Tickets are available at the gate the night of the show or in advance by calling the Aracoma Story Inc. Office at 304-752-0253.

Another winning week is in the books for the Greyhounds as they went 2-1-0-0 to improve to 5-2-0-0 on the season, good for second place in the Western Conference. Not all is good news though as Ryan Sproul has been knocked out for 2+ months with a broken arm suffered on a slash less than a minute into Saturday's loss to Sarnia. What compounds things, is that Captain Colin Miller underwent surgery last weekend to deal with an inflamed bursa sac. As for my Bold Prediction of the week… well it was horrible weak. Having missed last year's pink in the rink I was way off on the jersey auction totals as I was basing it off of experiences in the GTA. My hat goes off to Megan Dubas and the work she does organizing this event as the Greyhounds raised over $7,000 just from the jersey sales. McCann and Tolchinsky both went for $500. I only wish I was in that tax bracket. Now on to the past weeks games
Wednesday November 3rd
Saginaw Spirit 5 @ Soo Greyhounds 6
Sometimes it's not how many saves you make but when you make them. In this case it was probably both. Matt Murray faced 44+ shots for the 4th time in 5 games. After allowing 3 quick goals in the first 6+ minutes of the 2nd Period Matt shut the door only giving up 1 goal the rest of the way in spite of facing another 21 shots and allowing the Hounds to launch another comeback. With the score 4-1 Matt Petaccio scored his 1st of the season with Jared McCann following that up with a beauty top corner over Jake Paterson's shoulder.
After Saginaw made it 5-3 early in the 3rd the Hounds stepped on the gas. Andrew Fritsch struck right back a minute later, with an assist on the play Nick Cousins extended his point streak to 5 games. After Brandon Alderson missed on a penalty shot he was gifted with another breakaway only to be stopped again, unfortunately for the Spirit Petaccio was there to tap home his 2nd of the game and once again the Greyhounds fight back from a 3rd period deficit. The comeback was completed just 15 seconds later as Nick Cousins extended his goal streak to 4 games making this the 2nd time in 3 games that the hounds had scored 3 in the third period.
5 different goal scorers on the night for the Greyhounds but the defenitly unsung hero would have to be Tyler Ganly who stepped up and filled in for some big minutes when Darnell Nurse was giving a 10 minute misconduct for instigating early in the 2nd period.
Friday October 5th
Kitchener Rangers 2 @ Soo Greyhounds 4
For the 2nd time in this short season a nationally ranked team visited the Essar Centre and for the 2nd straight time the Greyhounds come out victorious. Once again a big thanks has to go out to Matt Murray. The Greyhounds for the 6th straight time this season were outshot in the 1st period this time by a total of 18-8. With Matt Murray turning aside all 18 shots it opened the door for the offence as Sergey Tolchinsky caught John Gibson going the wrong way and slipped a beauty by him on the far side to make it 1-0. Not to be out done David Broll bowled his way through 3 Kitchener defenders before sliding it to Dylan Staples who unleashed a rocket off the bar and behind Gibson to make it 2-0. Unlike the Plymouth game where the Hounds seemed to come undone after giving up a goal they answered right back this time with Tolchinsky potting his 2nd of the game after Radek Faska made it 2-1. Midway through the 3rd period the Greyhounds would give up their 4th PP goal of the week as Matt Puempel made it 3-2. Unfortunately for Ranger fans that is as close as they would get. Brandon Alderson finally cashed in on a breakaway albeit into an empty net but it extinguished any hope the Rangers had.
Another 40+ shots faced by Matt Murray. I am really starting to hope that his billets have a Jacuzzi for him to rest in after games. Other than that it was a strong game by David Broll who has continued to impress early in the season. It was also nice to see the PP click with 2 big goals that helped shift the momentum the Greyhounds way at key moments.
Saturday October 6th
Sarnia Sting 6 @ Soo Greyhounds 3
This looks like the type of game that will be a turning point. Ryan Sproul gets slashed cutting across the middle 45 seconds into the game and fractures his arm. The team gives up 4 power play goals in a loss to a division rival. Does the team start breaking apart at the seams or do the younger defenseman take a cue from GM Kyle Dubas's team slogan and rise to the occasion?
After Hottot opened the scoring for Sarnia Alex Gudbrandson scored his first of the season firing a on timer in off the faceoff for a shorthanded goal. Whatever joy the hometown crowd had was short lived as Sarnia would quickly score 2 power play goals in the final 4 minutes to take a 2 goal lead into the second. In amongst the goal scoring David Broll left for the dressing room after blocking a shot. He did return for the 2nd but was obviously playing through pain as he wasn't showing the quickness he had in the 1st. Brandon Alderson further endeared himself to Greyhound fans (if his constant breakaways hadn't already) by firing the puck at the ref after a penalty call. Unfortunately for the already shorthanded hounds he was given a 10 minute misconduct on the play.
The penalty kill was the bane of the Hounds existence again in the 2nd giving up their 3rd of the game early as the Sting built their lead to 4-1. Nick Cousins became the first hound not named Broll or Tolchinsky to score a power play goal as the Hounds got to within 2 before the period ended.
The Greyhounds added another goal with the man advantage early in the 3rd with Tolchinsky's 4th of the season. Again the Sting were able to strike back on the man advantage as Galchenyuk added his 2nd of the game. The sting would score a 6th later in the 3rd and that would be it for the scoring. For the first time this season the Greyhounds go a game without an even strength goal.
By The Numbers
8 – The number of power play goals given up by the Greyhounds this weekend.
6 – Number of games out of 7 in which the hounds have given up 40+ shots
2 – Number of Penalty shots awarded to Brandon Alderson this past week

3 Stars of the Week
1st Sergey Tolchinsky - Scored 3 power play goals for the Hounds this weekend including the game winner Friday night against the Rangers.
2nd David Broll – 4 assists on the week and again was a force on the forecheck. The puck just seems to be finding his stick in the neutral zone. Showed a lot of heart coming back Saturday when he obviously was not at 100%
3rd Tyler Ganly – Filled in and played some big minutes Wednesday and Saturday. Has improved every game and will need to keep getting better now that Spoul has joined captain Colin Miller in the press box.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas officials say a class of 14 recruits won't be graduating from the fire academy after city leaders investigated claims that students cheated on a written exam.
The graduation was scheduled for Feb. 14, but was put on hold when the allegations surfaced. City officials say they're now scrapping the graduation altogether and will consider how to cover the loss of the recruits.
Las Vegas Chief Public Safety Officer Karen Coyne said integrity is a core value for the city, and officials won't compromise the character of the organization.
A city spokesman says officials will now begin recruiting another class for the 20-week program.

A circuit arrangement is suggested for monitoring the air volume in vehicle tires which effects the most accurate possible correction of the temperature measured by a sensor fastened at the wheel to the actual air temperature in the tire. For this purpose, the temperature and pressure measurement value of the tire measured by the rotating sensor (13) of the wheel to be monitored is fed to a correction circuit (18) which is also receives a plurality of correction parameters (p, F, K, v). A corrected value for the temperature (tk) or for the air pressure in the tire is transmitted at the output of the correction circuit (18) as a function of the correction parameters (FIG. 1).
1. A circuit arrangement for monitoring air volume in a vehicle wheel tire, and circuit arrangement comprising sensor means rotatably fastened to the vehicle wheel for sensing air pressure and temperature in the tire and for generating respective signals; an evaluating circuit for generating a warning signal when the air volume in the tire falls below a predetermined value, and fixed with respect to the vehicle; electromagnetic transmitter means for transmitting the respective signals from said sensor means to said evaluating circuit, said evaluating circuit including a correction circuit connected with said electromagnetic transmitter means for receiving the respective signals and predetermined correction parameters and for outputting measurement values of the tire temperature and the tire air pressure in accordance with the correction parameters.
2. A circuit arrangement as set forth in claim 1, wherein the predetermined parameters comprise variable and fixed correction parameters, said correcting circuit including data storage means for storing the fixed correction parameters.
3. A circuit arrangement as set forth in claim 2, wherein the tire temperature measurement value is output in accordance with variable correction parameters that include tire pressure, speed-dependent parameters and a parameter characterizing a wet/cry condition of a road.
4. A circuit arrangement as set forth in claim 3, wherein the fixed parameters include a correction value characterizing one of specific vehicle and wheel, and thermal time constants.
5. A circuit arrangement as set forth in claim 4, wherein said correction circuit includes a program-controlled computer which cyclically determines the air volume to be monitored in the tire in accordance with the respective signals generated by said sensor means, and the correction parameters.
6. A circuit arrangement as set forth in claim 5, wherein the correction value characterizing one of specific vehicle and wheel is selected from a plurality of fixed correction parameters stored in said data storage means and characterizing a vehicle type and a wheel type.
7. A circuit arrangement as set forth in claim 7, wherein said correction parameters include a temperature differential value between the temperature measurement value during test drives and the tire temperature measurement value during regular driving of the vehicle.
The invention relates to on a circuit arrangement for monitoring the air volume in a vehicle tire and comprising pressure and temperature rotating sensors fastened at a vehicle wheel, and a transmitter for transmitting sensed values to an evaluating circuit. In order to monitor the air volume in the tire of a motor vehicle in a known circuit arrangement of this type, according to WO 87/041 23, the temperature and pressure of the air in the tire is sensed by semiconductor sensors and corresponding measurement values are transmitted cyclically via a multiplexing control from the rotating wheel via a converter to an evaluating circuit which is fixed with respect to the vehicle. The air volume with which the tire is filled, is determined from the ratio of tire pressure and tire air temperature (PT) and is compared with an allowable limiting value. As soon as the air volume in one of the vehicle tires reaches or falls below the predetermined limiting value, an optical or acoustic signal is issued, and the driver of the vehicle is accordingly alerted to the risk of overstressing the tire.
In order to monitor the air volume in the vehicle tire, it is necessary that the pressure and the temperature of the air in the tire be known as exactly as possible. However, since the air in the tire and the wheel rim can have different temperatures when driving and, since the temperature sensor is inserted in the wheel rim and can therefore be thermally uncoupled from the wheel rim only incompletely, the air temperature in the tire can not be measured with the required accuracy. There is always a temperature difference between the tire air and the measurement value of the temperature sensor.
The object of invention is to compensate for the temperature measurement error when determining the tire air temperature and air volume in the tire.
The object of the invention is achieved by providing a correction circuit which outputs a measurement value in accordance with appropriate correction parameters.
The circuit arrangement, according to the invention has the advantage that the measurement error of the temperature sensor in the vehicle wheel need no longer be kept as small as possible by costly steps of thermal uncoupling from the wheel rim, rather the parameters producing the measurement value error are now detected in a correction circuit in order that the temperature measurement value or the air volume in the tire calculated from the latter together with the air pressure is corrected as accurately as possible to the actual value independently of these parameters. Another advantage consists in that the correction parameters required for this are, in many cases, already present in the vehicle and are to be determined once for certain vehicle types and/or vehicle wheels, so that the parameters can be fed to the correction circuit without considerable added expenditure. Moreover, costly constructions for the thermal uncoupling of the temperature sensor from the rim temperature can be avoided, since the tire air temperature during driving can be determined with favorable accuracy by the correction parameters, so that the reliability of the monitoring system is considerably increased.
It is particularly advantageous that the correction circuit be integrated in the centrally arranged evaluating circuit, which is fixed with respect to the vehicle, and that variable parameters as well as fixed parameters be fed to the correction circuit. The tire pressure and a signal concerning the state of the roadway, wet or dry, and a driving or speed signal are provided as variable correction parameters. The signal for a wet or dry tire is preferably provided by a moisture sensor of the correction circuit, which moisture sensor is fastened in the area of the wheel of the vehicle and is sprayed by the tire on wet roadways. However, this signal can also be tapped in the simplest manner from the windshield wiper system of the vehicle. The driving signal can be tapped from the speedometer. Correction values and time constants for plotting the temperature during changes in the measurement value are to be provided as fixed correction parameters, the correction values and time constants being determined once according to the vehicle type or the wheels, which are mounted as standard, or the tire equipment and then inputted into a data storage of the correction circuit as fixed values. Finally, the air volume in the tires which is to be monitored is calculated with the tire pressure measurement values which are transmitted continuously to the evaluating circuit. Moreover, a warning signal can be triggered at extremely low air pressure, e.g. during a faulty temperature measurement.
The present invention both as to its construction so to its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following detailed description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a block wiring diagram of the circuit arrangement, according to the invention, for monitoring an air volume of vehicle tires; FIG. 2 shows a diagram with the measurement value error as a function of the vehicle speed; and FIG. 3 shows a block wiring diagram of the correction circuit for a plurality of wheels of a vehicle.
FIG. 1 shows a block wiring diagram of the circuit arrangement, according to the invention, for monitoring the air volume in a vehicle tire by measuring the air pressure and the temperature at a wheel of a motor vehicle. It comprises a circuit part 10 rotatable with the wheel, a transmitter 11, and an evaluating circuit 12 which is fixed with respect to the vehicle. The rotating circuit part 10, which is preferably fastened at a wheel rim, contains a temperature sensor 13 and a pressure sensor 14 in the form of semiconductor sensors whose signals are fed to an electronic unit 15 for signal processing, the construction and operation of the electronic unit 15 being explained in more detail in WO 87/04123. The output of the electronic unit 15 is connected with a ring-shaped repeater coil 16 which rotates with the vehicle wheel and enables a transmission of data to a receiving coil 17 of the transmitter 11 regardless of the wheel position, the receiving coil 17 being arranged in the vicinity of the wheel so as to be fixed with respect to the vehicle. The receiving coil 17 is connected to ground at one end, and connected by the other end with an input of a correction circuit 18 in the evaluating circuit 12 which is fixed with respect to the vehicle. The temperature and pressure measurement values t, p which are measured by the temperature sensor 13 and the pressure sensor 14 and processed in the electronic unit 15 are fed cyclically via this input in time sequence. A plurality of correction parameters which serve for correcting the temperature value t measured by the temperature sensor 13 are applied to additional inputs of the correction circuit 18. A first, changeable correction parameter is the moisture of the tire. For this purpose, a capacitive moisture sensor is fastened at the vehicle in the vicinity of the wheel, which moisture sensor is sprayed by the tire when the roadway is wet. The signal of this moisture sensor is fed to the input F of the correction circuit 18 as O/I signal via a threshold value switch. A time constant by which the temperature correction during changes or jumps in temperature is plotted is fed to the input T. This time constant T is a value which is empirically determined with the standard utilized pairing of the wheel rim and tire. This value can possibly be linked with the moisture signal F to form a second time constant for temperature changes in wet tires. Correction values which are likewise determined for the pairing of rim and tire and which determine the temperature differences between the tire air and sensor temperature in wet and dry wheels at different tire pressure values are fed to another input K. Another correction parameter is defined by the vehicle speed with which it is determined whether the vehicle is stationary or running slowly, or at regular speed. A corresponding O/I signal is fed to the input v of the correction circuit 18. A corrected temperature value tk is emitted at the output of the correction circuit 18, wherein the correction is determined by the air pressure p in the tire as correction parameter and from the road moisture F, the time constant T specific to the wheel, and the vehicle speed. A corresponding correction circuit is provided for each of the vehicle wheels to be monitored in the circuit part 12 which is fixed with respect to the vehicle. The pressure values are divided by the respective corrected temperature values tk in a computer 19 of the evaluating circuit 12 in order to determine the air volume in the tire which is to be monitored.
The value determined cyclically for every wheel is compared with a previously inputted limiting value. When reaching or falling below the limiting value in one of the monitored tires a warning indication is effected via a display 20. The instantaneous tire pressure or the temperature of each tire can possibly also be indicated in a known manner via display which may be formed as LCD 20.
FIG. 2 shows a diagram of a group of characteristic lines illustrating the temperature difference Δt between the measurement value of the temperature sensor 13 and the actual temperature of the air in the tire at different tire pressures. It can be seen from this diagram that the temperature difference Δt is greater as the tire pressure decreases and that it also depends on the vehicle type and the rim/tire combination of the vehicle wheels used in the latter. In addition, it can be seen from the diagram that the temperature difference Δt remains practically constant above a determined vehicle speed, i.e. is not dependent on the vehicle speed. The group of curves shown in FIG. 2 was determined on the basis of test drives with two different vehicles, type 1 and type 2. It was determined, in addition, that the temperature difference Δt remains unchanged above a speed of 25 km/h. On the other hand, for lower speeds down to standstill of the vehicle, the temperature difference is superimposed in addition by thermal time constants between the air in the tire and the sensor.
The group of curves, according to FIG. 2, was plotted on a dry roadway and indicates the temperature difference Δt by which the actual temperature of the air in the tire is greater than the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 13. A corresponding group of curves results on a wet roadway, wherein, however, the temperature difference Δt is smaller. The temperature differences are fed to the input K of the correction circuit 18 as fixed correction parameters typical of a vehicle.
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the correction circuit of evaluating circuit of FIG. 1, wherein all wheels of the vehicle which are to be monitored are connected to a mutual correction circuit 21. This correction circuit 21 contains a computer 22 and a data storage 23. The temperature values t1, t2, . . . measured by the temperature sensors 13 of the vehicle wheels to be monitored are fed to the correction circuit 21 via a plurality of inputs shown on the left-hand side. Moreover, the tire pressures p1, p2, . . . assigned to the individual temperature values are fed to it as variable parameters. A moisture signal F is fed via another input as variable parameter in that e.g. this signal is tapped from the switching positions of the windshield wiper system for continuous operation. A speed signal v, which is tapped e.g. from a switch which is closed when a predetermined speed of e.g. 50 km/h is exceeded, is fed to the correction circuit 21 as variable parameter via another input. A correction table K which is a function of the vehicle type or wheel type and corresponds to the group of curves for type 1 and type 2 from FIG. 2 is stored in the data storage 23 of the correction circuit 21 as fixed parameter via another input of the correction circuit when the wheel is wet or dry, respectively. It is likewise possible to store correction tables for various vehicle and wheel types in the correction circuit 21 already during the production and programming of the correction circuit 21 and then to input the respective vehicle and wheel type via the input K of the correction circuit 21 when putting the tire pressure monitoring circuit into operation. Finally, thermal time constants for speeds above and below the limiting value and for dry and wet roadways are fed in as fixed parameters via the inputs T1 and T2 of the correction circuit 21, which thermal time constants are likewise determined in relation to the specific vehicle or wheel. These time constants can also be stored already in the storage 23 of the correction circuit 21 for various types, so that the corresponding time constants can be retrieved from these values by inputting the vehicle or wheel type. The air volume m1, m2, . . . in the tire to be monitored is now calculated according to the equation m=p/(t+Δt) with the program-controlled computer 22 of this correction circuit 21 in cyclical sequence from the measured temperature values t1, t2 . . . and the variable parameters p1, p2 . . . F, v and the fixed parameters K, T1, T2 for every vehicle wheel to be monitored. The temperature correction Δt is a function of the air pressure p in the tire, the tire state "wet" or "dry", the driving speed, and the vehicle or wheel type. Depending on the programming of the computer 22, an overall parameter can be formed from the various parameters and accordingly the temperature correction Δt can be taken from a correction table or different correction values are taken from the data storage for the different parameters and added to form the temperature correction Δt.
In the simplest case, a temperature differential value Δt determined by prior test drives of a vehicle or wheel type is added as fixed correction parameter when the vehicle is driven,, i.e. to the respective measured temperature value t1, t2 so as to be dependent on the variable parameter driven/stationary.
While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a circuit arrangement for monitoring pressure and temperature of tires, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the preset invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generaic or specific aspects of this invention.

Last weekend, I revved up the old car and drove down to one of the few Jakarta tourist spots to have so far eluded my attention. Four or five kilometers southeast of Ragunan Zoo in South Jakarta, on the way to Depok, lies Setu Babakan, one of the city's more sizeable lakes.
Around the lake's perimeter is a Betawi Cultural Village devoted to preserving the ethnic and cultural heritage of Jakarta's indigenous people.
There are apparently about 2.5 million Betawi people in the capital, which is, I guess, around a quarter of Jakarta's total population.
The Betawi have a culture and a language — not to mention music, traditions and food — that are distinct from Java's Sundanese and Javanese. They are also known for their rough and ready manner, their openness to strangers and even for their short tempers — all character traits that are anathema to the supposedly refined Javanese.
I headed down a bumpy track to the side of the lake and took a stroll down Setu Babakan's bucolic — and only slightly bubonic — boulevards.
The lake is ringed with cheap and cheerful chairs, tables and warungs (food stalls), where couples can whisper sweet nothings into each other's ears while taking in the pleasant view of the lake and scarfing down a few bowls of baso meatballs. In fact, there were plenty of them present during my visit, all enjoying the relative pollution-free calm.
There were also quite a few groups of Betawi gentlemen enjoying some rather dubious-looking homemade concoctions and shambling about arrhythmically to a cassette of traditional dangdut music.
One of them tipped a bottle of Red Bull into a mineral water bottle of fearsome-looking brown liquid and offered me a drink. Fearing for my optic nerves, I declined his kind offer and continued on with my stroll.
If the Shariah religious police ever manage to expand their sphere of influence down through Sumatra and on into Jakarta, they will surely have a field day cracking the skulls of the young couples and half-cut bapaks down at the Betawi Cultural Village. Let's hope that this shall never come to pass.
Stationed around the lake were various fishermen trying to hook a few bites. Mind you, I saw precisely nothing swimming through the rather brackish waters and perhaps this isn't surprising, given that the lake is fed directly from the somewhat less than pristine Ciliwung River.
Next to the lake, I came across a hawker selling posters of a guy called Benyamin Sueib, who was apparently a famous native Betawi actor. "Mr. Ben, 1939-1995" was the legend under one such poster. Yet another Indonesian gentleman fails to make 60. Ho hum.
The other famous Betawi gentleman is, of course, Jakarta's current governor and moustache enthusiast, Fauzi Bowo. I wonder if he ever brought a lady friend down to Setu Babakan during his formative years?
Next to the lake sits the Betawi Cultural Village, which is well worth a look around. Regular musical and theatrical performances are held here.
Strolling back to the lakeside, I felt it was time to head out to the high seas on a pedal-powered fiberglass sea lion with a ball balanced on its nose. A 20-minute, self-powered cruise will set you back a mere Rp 5,000 (55 cents) per person.
Back on dry land, I rounded off a fine Betawi afternoon with a tub of my favorite durian ice cream, purchased from one of the lakeside stalls. While it wasn't quite a holographic, high-tech ride through Disneyland, Setu Babakan at least has the ring of cultural authenticity to it. Even the "hello misters" and suggestive innuendo were right on target.
Perhaps, though, with a little investment, the place could be turned into a modern Betawi theme park.
They could put in a loop-the-loop roller coaster with a Bluebird taxi going around it, or a Ferris wheel with bajaj (three-wheeled motorized vehicles) for gondolas.
They could even set up gridlocked bumper car rides on which one only gets to move five centimeters during a single five-minute session. Drivers could also get to have real, authentic Betawi road-rage brawls with other bumper car drivers.
Eventually, it was time to head home and I left the courting threesomes (boy, girl, scooter) of Setu Babakan to enjoy the dusk in peace.
If you've already done Ancol, Taman Mini, Taman Safari and the zoo, then this relaxing little spot could be the ticket. Just don't drink any strange liquids.

Every day corporations worldwide are introduced to new requirements that change the way they conduct business with their customers, partners, consumers, and anyone else considered a touch point. Change is driven by so many outside forces it's hard to keep up and focus on what is often core – increasing business value while improving customer satisfaction. Some changes are imposed by the government specifying regulations and standards and not meeting these can be quite expensive. Others are imposed internally to ensure repeatable processes are followed. Customers demand changes to ensure the buying experience is optimal and businesses need to maintain superiority over the competition. Change is even driven by technology such as integration with social media outlets or new/ preferred communications channels.
ERP systems are very complex and unfortunately, not very adaptable to change. Most organizations have invested extensive time, effort and capital implementing their core business systems to drive internal efficiency, compliance and customer satisfaction. However, in an ever changing business environment, modifying ERP systems to keep up with requirements, processes, and technology changes is expensive and time consuming. Often times, even a simple change to an Enterprise application can take up to six months to complete due to the controls, inflexibility, customizations and other factors that bog down the introduction of simple modifications. This leads to workarounds and other inefficiencies or even non-compliance with new regulations.
To effectively adapt to changing business process and customer demands, leading organizations are using Dynamic Case Management (DCM) to leverage existing processes and data while using Cloud Delivery, Social Media, and Mobile capabilities to extend access to their ever changing population of systems and users. DCM extends processes and provides an enhanced user experience while incorporating key data from ERP systems. Dynamic Case Management provides a flexible, adaptable platform to enable automation of variable business processes, and delivery through multiple channels (web/phone/tablet).
Using a combination of ERP and DCM, leading organizations deliver:
