The invention relates to motion detectors. More particularly, the present invention relates to motion detectors which utilize ultrasonic radiation.
A number of different motion detector systems are known. One type of motion detector utilizes ultrasonic radiation, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,820,938 issued to Mix et al., the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. In an ultrasonic motion detector, a detection field of ultrasonic radiation is generated and is monitored for Doppler shifts, which are indicative of motion. Such motion sensors are integrated with a light management system, wherein lights are turned off, turned on and/or are dimmed according to the detection of motion or a lack of detected motion.
One of the shortcomings of current motion detector systems and devices is that they typically are only effective for detecting motion in a small area and are ineffective at monitoring motion at or near walls. Accordingly, these motion detector systems and devices typically require that detector units are strategically positioned in corners of a room or in a narrow corridor, such that the detector units broadcast through the room or corridor into an area where motion is most likely to occur. Despite the strategic positioning of the detector units, such devices and systems are ineffective at monitoring motion at or near walls or through an entire room. Such systems or devices can be protrusive and unattractive.
Further, it is generally preferably to have a ultrasound motion detectors that operate at a sufficiently high frequency (about 40 KHz) such that interference with hearing aides, and the like, are minimized. Unfortunately, the energy of ultrasound waves at these higher frequencies are attenuated by air to a greater degree than lower frequencies. Accordingly, motion defectors which operate at these high frequencies can require several transducers to effectively detect motion in a room.
In view of the aforementioned shortcomings, what is need is a motion detector system and device which more effectively monitors and detects motion in a large area and which preferably is easily integrated with the architecture of a room. Further, what is needed is a motion detector system and device which is capable of effectively detecting motion in a room using high frequency ultrasound waves.
The current invention is directed to a system and a device for and a method of sensing motion. A system, in accordance with the instant invention, comprises one or more motion detector units for sensing the motion. Each motion detector unit comprises one or more transducers comprising at least one transmitter for emitting the ultrasonic radiation and at least one receiver for receiving the ultrasonic radiation. Preferably, however, each motion detector unit comprises a single transmitter and receiver pair. The motion detector unit is preferably configured to broadcast the ultrasonic radiation in a detection area with a dispersion angle of 45 degrees or greater.
The transmitter and receiver pair preferably transmit and receive ultrasound radiation at a frequencies above 20 KHz and more preferably at or near 40 KHz to minimize interference with hearing aides, and in order to minimize potentially adverse physiological effects. The preferred embodiments of the invention serve to disperse the transmitted waves and focus the received waves to efficiently utilize the ultrasonic energy that is returned at the sensor, such that the sensor's coverage area is optimized for given output energy and frequency.
In accordance with the preferred embodiments of the invention, the transducer is coupled, with an acoustic propagation modifier, which disperses the ultrasonic radiation. The acoustic propagation modifier preferably comprises a pair of acoustic reflectors, wherein a first acoustic reflector is positioned in a transmitting path of the ultrasonic transmitter and a matched acoustic reflector is positioned in a receiving path of the ultrasonic receiver.
The acoustic reflectors have one of any number of shapes and sizes and are formed from one of any number of different materials suitable to disperse the ultrasonic radiation. The acoustic reflectors comprise one or more angled surfaces to disperse the ultrasonic radiation and preferably, the acoustic reflectors comprise a cone section and one or more conical cross-sections which collectively disperse the ultrasonic radiation. More preferably, the cone section is centrally positioned within two or more concentrically positioned conical cross-sections. The acoustic reflectors are integral with the transmitter and/or receiver or alternatively are separate therefrom. For example, the acoustic reflectors are coupled to transmitter and/or receiver casings or are coupled to a housing or cover configured for positioning the acoustic reflectors in the transmitting path of the transmitter and the receiving path of the receiver.
A sensor unit, in accordance with the instant invention also preferably comprises a circuit coupled to the transducer. The circuit is configured to drive the transmitter at a selected frequency and is configured for generating receiver signals for Doppler shifts or disturbances detected by the receiver in a broadcast region. In the event that a disturbance of sufficient magnitude is detected, the circuit is configured to generate a suitable response. Alternatively, in the event that no disturbance is detected, the circuit is configured to generate a suitable response. A suitable response includes, but is not limited to, operating lights, sounding alarms and initiating telephone calls. In further embodiments, the sensor unit includes an infrared sensor for sensing heat, whereby a suitable response is determined based on the combined signals generated by the motion sensor unit and the infrared sensor.
The system of the current invention is networked with any other number of building monitoring systems and includes any number of sensor units, such as described above, which operate independently or collectively. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, a sensor unit is housed in a low-profile housing structure, that is configured to couple to a ceiling position within a room and monitor motion in the room therefrom.
Still referring to
The motion sensor 103, in accordance with the instant invention is configured to turn on the light 106, when motion is detected in the room 100, and/or to turn off the light 106 in the event that no motion is detected. The sensor unit 103 also has an infrared sensor 104 for discerning between disturbances generated by a person 113 or an inanimate object 111, 115 and 119 and/or to help reduce the number of false alarms. Ultrasonic motion detectors which include an infrared sensor are described in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,189,393, issued to Hu, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Weekend mornings at Pine Hill Farm are one of the few times Jaithan and I can slow down, spend more time together and cook. Usually I'll do something savory, like quiche or a frittata, but a couple of weeks back, when temperatures dipped into the teens and the snow kept coming, all I could think about come Sunday morning were pancakes.
Stonewall makes a good mix that I doctored up with good vanilla extract, toasted pecans and dried cranberries rehydrated in the microwave with a little water and Grand Marnier. Citrus is in season right now, so to cut some of the sweetness in the maple syrup, I added fresh blood orange segments and juice, then let it sit while I got to work.
My new blue and white porcelain ice cream scoop came in handy again, as did a brass and enamel dish (an Egyptian souvenir by way of the Goodwill), now serving as a spoon rest.
While Jaithan minded the pancakes and turkey sausage...
I picked one of my favorite sets of old English ironstone transferware plates with lusterware details, antique monogrammed hand towels I use as napkins and simple brass flatware. What can I say? I like a little fancy with my farmhouse.
The tablecloth is made from Robert Allen's Portobello Vase Blossom, inspired by an archival design of Colonial Williamsburg reimagined in fresh, new colors. I served the maple blood orange compote in a little vintage bowl (glossy on the inside; matte on the outside) from Privet House in New Preston, CT. The ceramic plate is one of my favorites handmade by Lindsay Emery of Suite One Studio.
A little potted primrose on the table and breakfast was served!
Spring, I'd say, is calling my name...

Dieter Rams worked as a carpenter, architect and interior designer before finally becoming an industrial designer at the electronics company Braun. His design mind is revered across the world and his work has helped to shape some of the most staple domestic electrical products of our generation.
He became concerned, in the 1970s, by the way in which the forms and composition of the modern world was taking shape. This frustration culminated in what some today call the 'Ten Commandments' of good design and are a good reminder for designers-in-training or design aficionados alike:
Good Design Is Innovative
Good Design Makes a Product Useful
Good Design Is Aesthetic
Good Design Makes A Product Understandable
Good Design Is Unobtrusive
Good Design Is Honest
Good Design Is Long-lasting
Good Design Is Thorough Down to the Last Detail
Good Design Is Environmentally Friendly

With economic uncertainty comes a restriction on lending practices. Fortunately, banks are not the be-all and end-all of commercial financing. When traditional lending institutions fail to provide, many businesses turn to alternative financing strategies to give them the financial flexibility they need.
While not always as favorable as a conventional loan or line of credit, these forms of financing tend to be more accessible and can be the most surefire way of meeting a business's needs in a pinch. Yet many business owners are unaware that such options exist. So what are some of the most popular alternative business credit and financing strategies?
SBA Loans
The Small Business Administration (SBA) participates in a number of lending programs that are tailored to businesses that have difficulty acquiring traditional bank loans. The SBA guarantees a portion of these loans, promising to pay back the lender the guaranteed amount should the loan recipient default. This makes these loans more appealing to lenders as it mitigates the financial risks associated with less established businesses and expands their availability beyond candidates that banks would typically consider as viable loan recipients. Applications for these programs can be found at participating local banks and lending institutions.
Factoring is an arrangement whereby a company sells its unpaid invoices (accounts receivable) to a factoring agency at a reduced rate. Factoring gives the seller cash up front, while the factoring company turns a profit collecting on these invoices. This can be a helpful solution for businesses with cash flow problems or that otherwise need a quick infusion of cash to take advantage of an unforeseen opportunity.
Leaseback Option
Leaseback options entail selling equipment or property and then leasing it back from the buyer. Transferring ownership in this type of arrangement can, as in factoring, assist in solving cash flow problems by leveraging existing assets (in this case property, rather than accounts receivable).
Merchant Cash Advance
A merchant cash advance is a lump sum payment to a business in exchange for an agreed upon percentage of future credit and debit card sales. This comes out of the business's daily transactions directly from the credit card processor that settles these payments until the obligation is met.
Peer-to-Peer Lending Networks
Crowd-sourcing has lately become one of the most popular alternative financing options, allowing loan seekers to circumvent traditional lending institutions. Kickstarter.com is perhaps the most well known of these, offering funding to artists via individual donations, but there are options for small business owners as well. Prosper.com and LendingClub.com are two popular avenues for loan seekers and individual lenders to arrange financing agreements. While this effectively takes banks out of the picture, success nonetheless remains largely dependent on credit ratings.

Make no mistake, the California attorney general is not one to mince words.
"What we have in this case is a conspiracy among three individuals," Jerry Brown said of Howard K. Stern and Drs. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich, the trio charged yesterday with eight felonies for their roles in the lead-up to Anna Nicole Smith's drug-induced death.
"It was done knowingly, and it was done with tragic consequences."
Referring to Stern as the "principal enabler," Brown said during a press conference this morning that the lawyer and onetime reality-show star "funneled highly addictive drugs to Ms. Smith."
"We're not talking a few dozen, we're talking hundreds and hundreds of pills," he went on. "The law's been violated, it's a conspiracy, this is bad business."
Brown denounced the two doctors involved for having "violated their ethical obligations as physicians," and said the patient, in this case Anna Nicole, is not to blame, even if she had a hand in obtaining the drugs.
"These three individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose," he said.
"Doctors are licensed to avoid those pressures."
As for a possible motivation for the accused, Brown said Smith herself may have been a draw.
"Probing into motives is always a speculative undertaking, but certainly there is a...gain here to be part of the celebrity glitz and glamour.
"These people were caught up with being in a relationship with and being around Anna Nicole Smith."
Meanwhile, Kapoor's medical mentor, Dr. Victor Kovner, who started the Studio City medical center currently run by Kapoor, told E! News he was "very saddened" by the situation and insisted Kapoor was "very well trained."
Kovner added that while he wishes the best for Kapoor, it would indeed be a serious crime if the allegations proved true, particularly the charge that he prescribed medications to false names.
"If they did it under another name to deliberately deceive, that's certainly a felony," he said. "His career is in tremendous jeopardy."
Another blast from the past, Smith's estranged mother Virgie Arthur, also wasted no time in commenting on the legal action.
"She was glad to learn of the developments and she expected to sleep well last night," Arthur's attorney, Neil McCabe, told E! News. "As always, she wants justice for the death of her daughter and her grandson."
In addition to the conspiracy charge, the trio variously faces charges of obtaining an opiate prescription by fraud, deceit or misrepresentation; obtaining an opiate prescription by giving a false name or address; prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict; and unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance.
Brown said that just one count typically carries a three-year sentence.
"This is serious stuff," he said. "Our goal is to prepare the evidence as well as possible. Now it's up to the district attorney and his discretion to handle it the best way possible."
Stern and Kapoor turned themselves in last night and were released on $20,000 bail after getting booked on the charges. Eroshevich has yet to surrender to authorities, but is expected to do so by Monday.
All three are scheduled for arraignment on May 13.

Violence In Turkey Casts Shadow On Olympic Bid
By Staff
Originally published on Sat June 1, 2013 5:11 pm
The city of Istanbul for the fifth time is bidding to host the 2020 summer Olympics. It pitched itself as "an emerged nation" to the Olympic Committee. But at the same time, NPR's Peter Kenyon tells guest host Wade Goodwyn, images of police firing tear gas canisters and water cannons at anti-development protesters seemed to send a different kind of message this week.

Beluga still looking to be a superpremium vodka
Moscow • About a decade after the first bottle of Beluga vodka was produced in a small Russian town, its owners are seeking global leadership in the superpremium vodka segment. The flare-up in relations between Russia and the West is doing little to dissuade them.
"We are playing long-term, and a year or two years don't make a difference for us," Synergy Chief Executive Alexander Mechetin said in an interview at the company's Moscow headquarters. "The current political tensions will be solved sooner or later. Russia will continue integrating into the world and will play a meaningful role there."
Beluga plans to more than triple output to 1 million cases in the next five years, according to Mechetin, exporting more of the spirit to the U.S. and other countries where people are willing to pay up while the Russian market contracts. The brand would rank third globally among superpremium vodkas, or those that sell for more than $30 a bottle, based on today's figures.
"Our ambition is to build as strong a reputation in the vodka world as Patek Philippe has among watches or Hermes does in fashion," Mechetin said.
The label, which means "great sturgeon" in Russian, is named after the fish from the Red List of threatened species whose roe is sold as caviar. First produced in the Russian town of Mariinsk in December 2002, Beluga entered Europe in 2009. The U.S. and east Asia followed a year later.
To associate with the luxury end of the vodka market, Beluga advertises at events including polo, yachting and Russian art exhibitions. It was featured in Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull's videoclip "Live It Up," which has gathered more than 110 million hits on the Web.
Still, the brand remains a distant competitor to global giants, selling 263,000 cases last year compared with Bacardi's Grey Goose's 3.9 million and Diageo's Ciroc's 2.4 million, according to researcher IWSR. Belvedere, owned by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, shipped 797,000 cases.
"Russians get very excited about Beluga because they see it as the best premium vodka, but it actually doesn't have much distribution outside the country and it's tiny" compared with Grey Goose and Ciroc on a global scale, said Trevor Stirling, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein.
Synergy shares have slid 26 percent this year, compared with a 2.8 percent drop in Russia's benchmark Micex Index, valuing the company at about $380 million.
Success for Beluga will depend on making the brand bigger abroad amid a declining market for vodka at home, where consumption of the drink has dropped about 17 percent in the past five years. That may be a more pronounced challenge at the moment, given the escalating tensions between Russia and western countries such as the U.S. or U.K. Russia banned the import of many agricultural products for the U.S. and European countries this month. The embargo doesn't apply to liquor.
"There is a risk that the West's negative sentiment towards Russian politics could translate into sentiment toward Russian vodka as well," said Ivan Kushch, an analyst at VTB Capital in Moscow, whose parent VTB Group was included in the European Union's sanctions list.
International demand for Beluga is still rising, Mechetin said. Exports increased 35 percent in the first half of this year, following a 17 percent gain last year, which was driven by the U.S. and duty-free segment globally.
An excise-tax rise in Russia has boosted vodka prices this year, pushing lower-income customers toward cheaper bootlegged versions and wealthier Russians toward other hard liquor.
While Russian legal alcohol production fell 16 percent in the first half, Synergy's shipments slid only 8 percent helped by exports and sales of imported drinks.
Mechetin is optimistic about the future. Beluga got a boost when singer Justin Timberlake mentioned it a recent Moscow concert.
"We have different, and sometimes unexpected, customers," Mechetin said.
Timberlake may have enjoyed it too much. He joked at the concert that a man told him to drink Beluga "and that's the last thing I remember."

Family grieving after mom accidentally ran over Manny Martinez, 2
Sheriff's: Veronica Guerrero, 28, didn't realize she hit Manny Martinez
SOMERSET, Texas - Southwest Bexar County resident Veronica Guerrero, 28, will not be facing any charges after she accidentally ran over her own son, Manny Martinez, 2, outside their home on Senior Road, sheriff's investigators said.
The deadly accident happened just before 7 a.m. Wednesday in the driveway of the home located outside the Somerset city limits.
Lt. Dennis Casillas said the toddler and Guerrero's 26-year-old sister, Maria Guerrero, were standing outside the home, waving goodbye as she drove off for work in her Ford F-250 pickup.
"The son broke free from the hand and made a run for the mom's vehicle as she was backing out," Casillas said. "The child ran around the back side of the vehicle, and the mom, unknowingly, as she was approaching this gate, accidentally ran over this child."
Casillas said Manny had made his way to the front passengers side of the truck where the front wheel rolled over him. His mother didn't realize what had happened until she got out to open her front gate, he said.
"She heard her sister screaming," Casillas said. "Apparently there are some uneven areas in the driveway and she thought that's what she hit when she rolled over him."
An ambulance called to the scene left without a patient several hours later. A medical helicopter that had landed in the middle of Loop 1604 and was on standby also was sent away empty.
Family members continued to arrive at the home after the tragedy, and stood by sobbing and hugging each other.
Although sheriff's detectives conducted an investigation, they did not expect to find any reason to charge anyone.
"It appears right now that it was an accident. Very unfortunate," Casillas said.

She's transitioning into life after "Saturday Night Live" and Kristen Wiig was chosen to grace the cover of the August 2012 issue of Marie Claire magazine.
Not only does the "Twilight" saga capture the hearts of millions of fans, it also increases Kristen Stewart's bank account enough to make her the highest paid actress this past year.
Attempting to hail a cab in the Big Apple, Kristen Wiig was spotted out on the busy streets of New York City on Tuesday (June 19).
The "Saturday Night Live" funny woman sported a casual look in skinny jeans and black booties as she seemed unhappy about her unsuccessful attempt at hitching a ride.
While most of Hollywood is obsessed with looking younger, Ben Stiller welcomed old age on the set of his new movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" today (June 14).
The "There's Something About Mary" stud was joined by "Bridesmaids" starlet Kristen Wiig as he filmed scenes outdoors in New York City.

LOS ANGELES -- Maybe instead of wondering why the Golden State Warriors weren't better than a No. 6 seed this season, we should have wondered why they weren't worse.
Yes, we took into consideration that David Lee, Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala each missed at least 15 games with injuries. We acknowledged they had lost key reserves and positive locker-room presences Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry. But we didn't consider how many new players they had to work into the mix: Iguodala, Jermaine O'Neal and Marreese Speights at the beginning, then Jordan Crawford and Steve Blake before the trade deadline. And we had no knowledge just how difficult that integration was, at least not to the extent Iguodala alluded to Saturday.
"Everyone's fighting for minutes," Iguodala said. "The chemistry didn't look so bad on the court, but you could tell there was a lot of tension at times throughout the year. You were like, 'When is it going to end?'
"I've seen that on championship teams. Miami, their first year together, they had some serious tension. It never got that bad [here], but you kind of wonder, 'When are you going to come together? When are you going to grow up and understand that it's not about me, or this guy, it's about us as a group?'
"Tonight, we kind of took a step in the right direction. Things don't go our way -- or when things are going our way -- stick together, play together, play the right way."
Saturday's victory had to feel as satisfying as any win for any team this season. The Warriors came into Staples Center for the playoff opener and won a taut, foul-plagued game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
They won it 109-105 even though their usual savior, Stephen Curry, shot 6-for-16, including 0-for-5 in the fourth quarter. They won it even though Iguodala fouled out. And of course they won it even though Bogut is out with a broken rib.
"Coach Jackson's harping on it every day: It's not about you, it's not about me, it's about us, coming together," Iguodala.
That would be coach Mark Jackson. And contrary to the message he'd sent his players, it felt like this victory was very much about him. Jackson is the key Warriors figure with the least security, thus the guy with the most on the line. Curry, Lee and Iguodala all have contracts that go beyond next season. Klay Thompson will surely get extended when his rookie contract is up. Jackson has one year left, with no talk of an extension, and plenty of whispers around the league that his job is dependent on the Warriors' performance in these playoffs.
It's the reason there's so much to be read into the look of disbelief and disappointment in this GIF of Warriors owner Joe Lacob's eyes when he glanced at Jackson following a Golden State turnover in the first quarter. (By the way, for such a dramatic playoff game, the best GIFs involved people sitting at the scorer's table: Lacob, and the fan who got water tossed on him by Blake Griffin in the fourth quarter.

Jay-Z hasn't said whether he was "boycotting" the Grammys or not, but Fantasia Barrino definitely had beef. The singer told 106 & Park that she skipped the ceremony (where Fantasia won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance), because she wasn't included in the Aretha Franklin tribute. "I'm going to be very honest with you. You know I wasn't at the Grammys last night…Last night they were honoring someone who is my idol, Aretha Franklin, and there is no way I could have sat there and not got the happy feet and wanting to jump on the mic because she is my favorite so I felt like, you know, at the end of the day I should have been on that stage." With Jennifer Hudson already on stage, did the producers feel that Fantasia was one America Idol veteran too many?
Not that Fantasia will be returning her trophy, though. "Actually, I scared my daughter because I just bust out and started crying, and she thought something was wrong with me…it's been a long time coming for me and I have been through a lot of things so when [my manager] called me, I just bust out started crying because I felt like, man, I wasn't gonna stop until I got one and I'm still not going to stop and you know this has just given me motivation to do my own thing. So, I just started crying and just thanking God that finally, eleven times nominated, finally I got one."

Hawaiian Electric 2014 test year rate case
On June 27, 2014, Hawaiian Electric submitted an abbreviated rate case filing
(abbreviated filing), in lieu of a traditional rate case, with the goal of
satisfying its requirement to submit a rate case filing in accordance with the
mandatory three-year general rate case cycle established by the Public Utilities
Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) in the proceeding approving decoupling.
Hawaiian Electric did not request a rate increase in its abbreviated filing.
Hawaiian Electric indicated in its filing that it is foregoing a rate increase
request in recognition that its customers are already in a challenging high
electricity bill environment. The abbreviated filing indicated Hawaiian Electric
is aggressively attacking the root causes of high rates, by, among other things,
vigorously pursuing the opportunity to switch from oil to liquefied natural gas,
acquiring lower-cost renewable energy resources, pursuing opportunities to
achieve operational efficiencies, and deactivating older, high-cost generation.
Instead of seeking a rate increase, Hawaiian Electric is focused on developing
and executing the new business model, plans and strategies required by the PUC's
April 2014 regulatory orders, as well as other actions that will reduce rates.
In its abbreviated filing, Hawaiian Electric submitted the requirements it
believed were necessary to satisfy its obligation to file a general rate case in
the cycle established by the PUC. If the PUC determines that additional
materials are required, Hawaiian Electric would work with the Consumer Advocate
on a schedule to submit additional information as needed. The abbreviated filing
was submitted to get an expedited decision that there would be no change in base
rates at this time.
If Hawaiian Electric's abbreviated filing is accepted by the PUC, the current rate schedules and rate recovery mechanisms will remain in effect until a decision is made in the next rate case proceeding. Such schedules and mechanisms include the rate schedules for the various rate classes, the energy cost adjustment and power purchase adjustment clauses in their current form, the demand side management surcharge, the pension and other post-retirement benefit tracking mechanisms, and the decoupling tariff. The decoupling revenue balancing account and revenue adjustment mechanism will continue, subject to any change to these mechanisms ordered by the PUC in Schedule B of the decoupling proceedings. The panel hearings in Schedule B of the decoupling proceeding are scheduled for late August 2014. Hawaiian Electric expects to file its next rate case under the normal rate case cycle using a 2017 test year. If circumstances change, a rate case may be filed earlier.
Management cannot predict whether the PUC will accept this abbreviated filing to satisfy Hawaiian Electric's obligation to file a rate case in 2014, if additional material will be required, or if Hawaiian Electric will be required to proceed with a traditional rate proceeding.
HEI and Hawaiian Electric intend to continue to use HEI's website, www.hei.com, as a means of disclosing additional information. Such disclosures will be included on HEI's website in the Investor Relations section. Accordingly, investors should routinely monitor such portions of HEI's website, in addition to following HEI's, Hawaiian Electric's and American Savings Bank, F.S.B.'s press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts. The information on HEI's website is not incorporated by reference in this document or in HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's SEC filings unless, and except to the extent, specifically incorporated by reference. Investors may also wish to refer to the PUC website at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms in order to review documents filed with (Docket No. 2013-0373 for this filing) and issued by the PUC. No information on the PUC website is incorporated by reference in this document or in HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's other SEC filings.

text: According to Jossip and lots of achin' Aiken fan sites, the American Idol winner has been dissed by RCA Records as a result of some nasty rumors that won't go away. This past weekend, the company posted information on Clay Aiken's upcoming album listing a June 20th release date. But today, the website has removed all mention of the album release. One can only speculate that RCA is losing faith in the singer. Perhaps it has something to do with all that probing gossip about Aiken's preference in extra-curricular activities. But why is it any of our business whether or not Clay loves…roller-coasters?

After landing a client, the designer's first chore is to communicate and develop the initial idea, whether it's a storyboard for a film or ad, or a multifaceted marketing campaign for a product or service. Learn how to transform a client's request into a presentable concept in this course. Craig Smallish walks through the development process for various creative scenarios, from assessing the client and the scope of the job to free-associating and sketching your ideas. Learn to create descriptive copy to accompany your visuals and create iteration after iteration of your design. Finally, Craig shows how to choose your strongest idea through a process of refinement.
Great concepts require ingenuity. However, the final litmus test of what makes a great concept work is how well it communicates its message. I'll admit that sounds a little clinical and in that spirit, let's take a look at some concept images and dissect them. We see the use of cliche or shock novelty constantly. These maybe the result of a designer having too little time or a lack of interest in the project.
The problem is cliches are boring and shock novelty has short lived appeal. this can cause the viewers to move on without remembering what the essential message was or what the ad was even for. With our society's 24/7 delude of media, cliches are hopelessly lost. The array of ads and editorial content often become pattern like one trying to outdo the other. And in the end, these simply blend into the surrounding landscape.
In contrast, here's an example of why a more thoughtful, innovative approach grabs our attention and holds our interest long enough to communicate its message. I'm fascinated by great concepts like this. Concepts which appear simple, but likely took quite a bit of effort to conceive. But just getting people to notice something doesn't necessarily make it a good or even a worthwhile concept. The novelty of bright colors or in your face graphics might briefly attract attention but these techniques also fade quickly simply due to overuse.
Concepts need to deliver the client's message, and if you're finding yourself struggling to get the viewer's attention, at any cost, it's probably worth developing different solutions. It's those original concepts, intrinsic to the client's product, service, or message that we as creatives need to strive for.

How does Satan tempt us?
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/vhosts/gitwels/drupal-waj/env/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_argument_validate_php.inc(43) : eval()'d code on line 4.
How does Satan tempt us?
Think of someone who is close to you. You know her likes and dislikes. You know his strengths and weaknesses. That comes from spending time with the person. The more time we spend with that individual, the more we know him or her.
Satan also knows us well. But the way he knows us is different from the way God knows us. God knows us because he knows everything.
One of the most famous kings over the Hebrew people in Old Testament times was a man named David. He also wrote many of the psalms. In one of them he states, "O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O Lord."
What David said about God is not something we could say about Satan. He is not everywhere at once as God is. Nor can he read all of our thoughts as God can.
But the devil has spent a lot of time studying us. He knows our habits, even our sinful ones. That puts him in a good position to tempt us. For he knows that some things will be more tempting for us than others.
For example, some people are tempted by money. They may steal money from a coworker or a roommate or a relative. That is their weakness. So the devil does what he can to place these temptations before them.
This was true for a disciple of Jesus called Judas. This man loved money, so the devil tempted him to negotiate with the Jewish leaders to betray Jesus. In exchange he would be paid a good sum of money. He fell for the temptation and sold his friend for a bag of cash.
What are your pet sins? What are some of the sinful things that tempt you? Gossip? Evil thoughts? Internet porn? Material stuff? Popularity? Sex? To a certain extent we all have different weaknesses. And the devil knows that.
The good thing is that God also knows our weaknesses. Instead of tempting us to sin, God promises to help us avoid temptation. That's what a line in the Lord's Prayer is all about: "But lead us not into temptation." When we pray those words, we are asking that God would help us avoid or overcome temptation. We know that he has the power to help us. For Jesus resisted the devil's temptation three times in the wilderness (See Matthew 4) and many times after that.
It's kind of scary to think that the devil knows our weaknesses. But think of it—Jesus knows them, too. And he has promised to help us overcome them.

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening is the most common procedure performed by dentists. With a whiter, brighter smile patients feel more attractive and confident, leading them to greater success in their lives. After just one treatment, those who undergo Zoom laser whitening will be wowed by the incredible transformation. Expect to hear lots of compliments from friends, family and neighbors right away. This guide will explain why teeth become discolored, what Zoom can do to help and what to expect during your treatment.
Why Do Teeth Become Discolored?
There are several reasons why teeth can become stained or discolored over time. On the most basic level, many foods and beverages can stain otherwise healthy teeth to give them a yellow or even grey tinge. Improper dental hygiene can also cause discoloration to the teeth over time. These types of stains, however, can almost always be removed through a whitening process. Known as extrinsic stains, they are only on the surface of healthy teeth and have not yet permeated the tooth. The far more serious stains are known as intrinsic stains. They are a result of thinning enamel or even cracks in the enamel covering the tooth. Many traditional whitening techniques were unable to remove these intrinsic stains, but new technology in Zoom laser whitening is able to.
What is Zoom Laser Whitening?
With so many different types of teeth whitening available, it can be a challenge to narrow down your options and choose just one effective and affordable method. Zoom is the fastest and most effective choice when it comes to whitening your teeth at your dentist's office. It works thanks in large part to the special gel, featuring hydrogen peroxide as the main ingredient. The gel itself would be effective over time as a whitening agent, but in your dentist's office it will be paired with a whitening light that works with the gel to instantly whiten your teeth. In a matter of hours, you can expect to have a significantly brighter and lighter smile.
What to Expect During Your Zoom Teeth Whitening Treatment
Many patients are afraid of undergoing Zoom laser whitening treatments despite the clear benefits and results. It is important to realize that the entire process is comfortable and takes a short amount of time. The first step is preparing the mouth so that the gel is only in contact with the teeth, rather than the gums. Then, you can expect a 20-minute treatment with the whitening light. Three treatments on this length take place in just one session, leaving you with a whiter smile in just a few hours. Expect to see greater whitening even after you leave the dentist, with results improving over the next day or two.
If you're looking for whiter teeth, then Zoom whitening is the answer for you. If you live in the Chicago area, call today for an appointment or a consultation to learn more about this innovative teeth whitening treatment.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
The Cal State Northridge women's tennis team (4-8) defeated Southern Miss, 5-2, Monday afternoon at the Matador Tennis Complex. Evgeniya Vertesheva and Brooke Doane extended their winning streak at the No. 1 doubles position to nine matches with an 8-0 victory over the Golden Eagles' Elja van Berlo and Lauren Gutterman.
Doane and Vertesheva have not lost since a season-opening match against UCLA. On average, they are losing only four games per match during their streak. For Doane, that runs her doubles record to an impressive 27-3 since beginning her career at CSUN.
The Matadors would go on to win the doubles point by sweeping the other two matches. Nina Jaworowski and Nigora Sirojiddinova defeated Hollie Robinson and Shannon Rogers in the No. 2 contest, 8-1, for their fifth victory of the season as a team.
Finally, at the third spot, Sandra Kukla teamed with Whitney Paluch for the first time this year and took an 8-4 decision over Zoe Lee and Alexandra Kaluza.
In singles action, CSUN won the top three matches without dropping a set. Vertesheva won her top draw against van Berlo, 6-2 and 6-4. Jaworowski defeated Kaluza in the second spot 6-1 and 6-1, and Doane bested Robinson, 6-1, in straight sets as well.
However, the Golden Eagles would take the fourth and fifth matches. Kukla was forced to retire from the match during her second set at the No. 4 position against Gutterman. At four, Sirrojiddinova lost, 6-2, 7-5, to Lee.
Paluch won her sixth match, 6-2 and 6-1, over Rogers to get her third singles win of the season.
Northridge and head coach Gary Victor return to action on Wednesday, hosting the UAB Blazers. First serve from the Matador Tennis Complex is slated for 2 p.m.

The 'Wisconsin 14′ returned to Madison on Saturday to take part in what has been called the largest rally to date for worker rights in the state. Some 85,000 people are estimated to have taken part, including off-duty police officers. Video, including of the 14 state Senators' arrival after the jump.
UPDATE: police estimates now put the rally size at between 85,000 and 100,000
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Despite last week's passage of Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill, the senators said they did the right thing by fleeing to Illinois last month in an unsuccessful bid to block the legislation.
And they vowed to fight the law in the courts and at the ballot box in a longer struggle to restore the collective bargaining that was eliminated for most public employees.
As they made their way up the steps of the Capitol, they heard the roars of a crowd that clogged Capitol Square, and listened as chants of "thank you, thank you" rained down.
Other speakers were even more blunt, with one union leader deriding Walker "and his band of thieves and liars."
State Sen. Jon Erpenbach, who (along with State Sen. Lena Taylor) has emerged as a spokesman and one of the stars of what many Wisconsans call the "fab 14," lauded his colleagues during his speech, saying "I just want to talk about 13 people I had a really, really weird trip with."
Video: The 'Wisconsin 14′ take the stage, and get a rapturous welcome from the crowd:
A closer view, as police leading the W14 through the crowd get high fives themselves. Jesse Jackson manages to get in on the love, and if you watch closely, you'll also catch "Monk" actor Tony Shaloub, who later addressed the crowd:
Susan Sarandon joins the protests:
And another view of the stage, and the huge crowd, as they chant "Badgers are righteous … badgers are strong … badgers are proud … and we will not rest until our rights are restored," adding "can you hear us now, Governor Walker?":
Of course, not everyone was glad to see the Senators (not that they seem to much care):
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) issued a withering statement ahead of their return.
He called the senators "the most shameful 14 people in the state of Wisconsin" and said it was "an absolute insult" to hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites that the senators ran away to Illinois to block Walker's budget-repair bill.
Fitzgerald wrote: "To the Senate Democrats: when you smile for the cameras today and pretend you're heroes, I hope you look at that beautiful Capitol building you insulted. And I hope you're embarrassed to call yourselves senators."
The senators showed no such shame as they took the stage, one by one, and addressed the audience that fanned out on muddy ground and spilled out into State St. Other demonstrators kept up a continuous march in the square, the scene all playing out beneath cloudy skies and a brisk late-winter wind.
State Sen. Spencer Coggs (D-Milwaukee) told the demonstrators, "Thank you for being our voice while we were gone. Thank you for being Wisconsin's voice while we were gone. Thank you for being America's voice."
Coggs said it was time for the "fabulous 14″ to "come back and unite with you."
"We want to unite, we want to fight, we want to get back workers' rights," he said. "The people united will never be defeated."
"This is not the end. This is the beginning of phase two," said Sen. Fred Risser (D-Madison).
In a news conference earlier Saturday, the Democrats talked about their future plans. They have returned to a Capitol that has been transformed by a bitter political battle. They had been held in contempt by their Republican colleagues in the Senate while they were away.
"They won the battle; we're going to win the war," said Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay).
Meanwhile, the teacher Scott Walker touted in his Wall Street Journal op-ed justifying taking away collective bargaining rights from teachers and other workers objects to her story being used by the governor:
Walker writes: "In 2010, Megan Sampson was named an Outstanding First Year Teacher in Wisconsin. A week later, she got a layoff notice from the Milwaukee Public Schools. Why would one of the best new teachers in the state be one of the first let go? Because her collective-bargaining contract requires staffing decisions to be made based on seniority."
The back story: It's true that Sampson experienced the effect of what's commonly known in education circles as "last hired, first fired" union policies, which dictate that in times of layoffs, young talent gets cut before teachers with more seniority, no matter how much promise or potential they hold as educators. We featured Sampson's story in an article about the MPS layoffs in June.
But it's unclear if Walker knew that Sampson, after being laid off from MPS, applied for and received a job teaching English at Wauwatosa East High School. That's the same school Walker's two sons attend. MPS attempted to recall Sampson in August, but she declined.
Sampson said in an e-mail exchange with the Journal Sentinel Thursday morning that she felt uncomfortable with the governor using her story to push an agenda.
"My opinions about the union have changed over the past eight months, and I am hurt that this story is being used to make me the poster child for this political agenda," Sampson said. "Bottom line: I am trying to do my job and all this attention is interference and stress for me."
And despite the exuberance of Saturday, one MJS columnist worries about the longer term effects of lowered teacher morale (an issue that could also effect other states with tea party governors, including Florida…)
… marking the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War by staging a new one in Wisconsin will have long-term consequences on teachers and teaching. Some maybe on the upside. Some will have lasting effects as downers. Who goes into teaching, who stays, what the work is like – there will be big issues to sort out.
Attitude is not a small matter. I've never heard anyone describe a successful school where the prevailing staff mood was gloomy. Someone needs to provide a convincing vision to teachers and to the public of a vibrant future for public schools. That hasn't happened so far. If it's not going to come from Walker, maybe it has to come at the local level, from superintendents or school boards or principals. An awful lot of them are mired in gloom, too. But at some point, educators do need to figure out how to move forward, preferably with some positive sense of mission.

Meanwhile, there's a new ad up from a group called the Greater Wisconsin Committee, which could be the template for the way pro-labor groups will fight governors like Walker, John Kasich in Ohio, Chris Christie in New Jersey, Mitch Daniels in Indiana, and Rick Scott in Florida. Watch:

Tumor Board Review utilizes the knowledge and expertise of oncology specialists to enhance learning the practice of oncology. Each of the 32 chapters follows a uniform format: a concise summary of the epidemiology, risk factors, natural history, and pathology of each major organ-specific tumor type; an abbreviated display of the relevant staging (generally based on the American Joint Commission on Cancer [AJCC] Staging, 7th Edition); and several "tumor board-style" illustrative patient case summaries (representative of major stage categories of each tumor), each followed by an evidence-based case discussion which reviews the current guidelines and rationale for the diagnostic and therapeutic steps taken. Algorithms and decision tree graphics are used extensively to provide visual support of the decision process.
The combination of case presentations and evidence-based management discussions make this volume a unique tool for keeping current with clinical guidelines and provides the reader with a clear understanding of applications of new information for use in daily practice. The case presentations and authoritative discussions make Tumor Board Review a valuable resource for board study and self-assessment. Features of Tumor Board Review Include:

Easter Leftovers
I was sent home with an over abundance of both ham and turkey from Easter dinner. Also had some leftover asparagus and crusty rolls. For lunch, we had simple cold turkey sandwiches, much like the ones that are enjoyed with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Always a classic, nostalgic sandwich. Tonight, I'm ready to use up the ham and asparagus, so I'm making a Ham and Asparagus Quiche with chopped onions and Swiss cheese.
So, how are you all using up your leftovers from Easter? (If you had any, that is. :)

Natalie V. Scott Exhibit Home
We dedicate this online exhibit to the memory of John Wyeth "Jock" Scott, II (June 29, 1947 - April 25, 2009). Jock was an attorney, scholar, historian, author, civic activist, and political reformer whose love and admiration for his great aunt revealed itself in his book, Natalie Scott: A Magnificent Life.
A decorated war hero, a celebrated newspaperwoman, an award winning playwright, a wilderness explorer, a Red Cross nurse, translator, teacher and social worker, Natalie Scott lived and worked among the poor, the war wounded, and the humble on four continents.
She also counted among her intimate friends many of the twentieth century's most noteworthy characters, its finest writers, artists and scholars, — her life filled with action, drama, humor, purpose, inspiration, and colorful personalities.
There were five distinct periods of Natalie's life: First, her eventful early life, including the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1897 in Bay St. Louis, her Newcomb College years (Class of 1909), joining the Newcomb faculty in 1910, earning her Tulane masters degree in Ancient Greek studies in 1914, her proficiency in numerous languages (French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Greek).
World War I became the second period, with the Red Cross in France, Natalie working in the Red Cross headquarters for Dr. Alexander Lambert, chief of operations in France and Belgium, through the German bombings of Paris in early 1918. When the German offensive threatened to overrun Paris in March, Natalie rushed into refugee work, then volunteered for nursing/translator work in a French evacuation hospital near the battlefront where she worked among the wounded through the war. Here her heroism during German bombing raids earned her the Croix de Guerre, France's highest medal for bravery.
The third period was New Orleans, the decade of the Roaring Twenties. Natalie returned as a war hero, the only American woman awarded the French Croix de Guerre. As a feature writer and columnist for the New Orleans States, she became a vital member of the literary/artistic/intellectual colony of the French Quarter, her close companions being a colorful band of authors and artists: Sherwood Anderson, William Faulkner, Lyle Saxon, Roark Bradford, William Spratling, Oliver LaFargue, Caroline Durieux, Frans Blom, Lyle Saxon, among others. Her group produced four Pulitzers and one Nobel prize for literature.
Her life in Taxco, Mexico, beginning in 1930, became the fourth major period in her life. Here she continued her journalism while exploring much of Mexico on horseback, also establishing social improvements for the people of Taxco. Natalie created a peasant school and a medical cooperative that brought the first physician to Taxco. As she had in New Orleans, Natalie instigated an artistic/literary colony, opening the Kitigawa House, a pensión for artists and writers.
The Scott papers
The Louisiana Research Collection is honored to preserve the papers of Natalie Vivian Scott. The Scott papers span the period from 1890 through 1957 and include correspondence, scrapbooks, photographs, and other documents.
The papers are open to researchers. The finding aid for the Scott papers is available online.
Red Cross service overseas in World War II became the fifth distinct period of Natalie's life, serving with American troops in North Africa, Italy, France, and Germany, her battlefront evacuation hospital moving with the U.S. 7th Army invading Germany, freeing and caring for prisoners of war and those imprisoned in concentration camps. Natalie was in route to the Pacific when Japan surrendered in August, 1945; she then served with U.S. occupation forces in the devastated Philippines, Japan and Korea through 1948.
Natalie devoted the last decade of her life, 1948 to 1957, to her Taxco school for impoverished children while serving as Taxco's leading hostess for its intellectual circle of authors and artists, also returning to her journalism while continuing to publish popular New Orleans and Mexican cookbooks.
In 1944, American literary figures Anne Kennedy and Genevieve Parkhurst declared Natalie's World War II letters to be "the most human and interesting news of the Red Cross that has come out of the war overseas." Her World War I letters were at least as good, essentially a war diary beautifully written with deep insight, full of action, drama, and wit. In a very personal sense, Natalie defined these two terrible wars for her generation by her own actions and sacrifices, by her vivid portrayal of the tumultuous events she witnessed, the places, people and conditions, tragedy, camaraderie, and heroism.

UBS Dismisses Currency Strategist Chris Walker as Part of Cuts
Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- UBS AG, Switzerland's biggest bank, dismissed currency strategist Chris Walker as part of its plans to cut about 10,000 jobs to revive profit.
London-based Walker confirmed by e-mail yesterday that he had been let go as part of the bank's restructuring. UBS spokeswoman Stephanie Aneto in London declined to comment when contacted by telephone.
UBS, based in Zurich, announced plans for cutting jobs across its business last month as it scales back its investment bank and focusses on wealth management.
The company announced an unexpected pretax loss of 2.87 billion Swiss francs ($3.03 billion) at its investment bank on Oct. 30 along with the job cuts.

McCain's embattled campaign quickly followed Giuliani's lead, perhaps hoping to dilute the impact of a potential Romney win at the straw poll.
The name of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will not appear on the ballot -- even though he is mulling an '08 bid. Fred Thompson isn't showing up at Ames poll either, but he will begin campaigning in Iowa on Aug. 17.
For second-tier candidates, the straw poll is a double-edged sword. It's all about expectations: A strong showing could legitimize their candidacy and boost their chances of doing well in the January Iowa caucuses, but a poor finish could be disastrous to any campaign that's having trouble catching on.
"If I don't finish first or second, I'm not going to continue," Tommy Thompson, the former governor of Wisconsin, said Tuesday on MSNBC. "If I don't come in first or second, I'll say I tried, gave it my all, and I'll go home to Wisconsin."
In a last-minute attempt to erode Romney's strong support in Iowa just days before the Iowa straw poll, Huckabee targeted the front-runner Thursday, warning that supporting Romney would leave the party vulnerable to Democratic charges of flip-flopping that could endanger GOP chances of winning the White House in 2008.
"Let's assume everything is hunky-dory with his views now," Huckabee told WashingtonPost.com. "What's problematic is that it does represent a dramatic shift and the obvious thing that a Democrat[ic] opponent will do to him is to say he shifted once, will he shift again?"
The timing of the attack speaks to the importance Huckabee is placing on the straw poll.
"It shows that folks are willing to drive across the state, show up and cast a vote," Huckabee told ABC News Sunday following the Republican debate. "These are people who have to purposely come to Ames and say, 'We like Mike Huckabee.'"
Republican strategists agree that Huckabee needs to do well at the poll.
"If Huckabee doesn't do well, he may have to drop out," Reed said.
Other second-tier candidates are downplaying its outcome.
"It's our preseason game," said Bay Buchanan, a top adviser to Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. "This is a test of our team in Iowa to clarify our weaknesses and see where we are strong."
The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll released last week had 26 percent of likely Republican Iowa caucus-goers supporting Romney, with Giuliani and Fred Thompson -- who has not yet formally announced his candidacy or campaigned in the state -- at 14 and 13 percent, respectively. McCain and Huckabee tied with eight percent support each.
However, the straw poll is nothing like a scientific poll. Only 20,000 to 40,000 Iowans usually show up, and most of them are bussed in by campaigns. So candidates must vie for votes in unorthodox ways, offering food, music and a good time in exchange for votes.
"It's going to be about a 95-degree day, it's going to be hot and humid," McCormick said, noting that the straw poll must compete for attendance with the state fair in Des Moines. "This is not the way most people want to spend their Sunday, so they have to have some incentive to come and enjoy the day."
Iowa's Des Moines Register reported this week that supporters of Ron Paul, R-Texas, a long-shot presidential candidate, have already questioned the integrity of the voting procedure -- something political observers have dismissed.

Great chardonnay from a cold climate has the acidity and balance to age well, allowing the wine's various features to meld into a cohesive, singular identity. With a little time, "bottle bouquet" also develops, and nutty, waxy aromas make for a more complex and subtle experience. The 06 Estate Chardonnay has significant mineral and toasty notes. This profile should play well with some of the flavors in this dish, especially the toasted bread crumbs and anchovy.
Poured last night at The Grocery's Perfectly Paired Dinner.
