NUPRO's Joint Support Formula contains:
Glucosamine ComplexNUPRO's own special formula that is an easily absorbed natural substance that stimulates the production of proteoglycans which help to maintain the health and resiliency of connective tissues and restores the damaged cells of cartilage tissue. Glucosamine complex helps promote the synovial fluid that lubricates the joints.
MSMA natural source of bio-available sulfur, essential for the growth and repair of tendons, cartilage and other connective tissues. MSM supports the body's normal inflammatory response.
Ester-C Chelated Mineral BlendBoosts the absorption of the glucosamine complex and MSM and promotes collagen formation.
Norwegian KelpA natural seaweed that is a rich source of trace minerals including iodine, which is used for proper glandular function and metabolism. An excellent source of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and E. These vitamins are beneficial for maintaining proper health and are responsible for the growth of bones, a healthy heart rate, a sound central nervous system, and helping muscles stay firm and strong. Norwegian kelp grows deep in the ocean, mostly in cold waters, so it contains valuable nutrients from the ocean floor. Aside from nourishing the glands, it is beneficial for overall good health. Supports healthy pigmentation and coat highlights.
FlaxseedProvides essential fatty acids. Most absorbable vegetable fatty acid for the canine. Rich in omega 3 fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid, fiber and lignans. Helps maintain healthy shiny fur and soft skin.
Yeast CultureHelps maintain a full and healthy coat which may minimize the occurrence of excessive shedding, hot spots and itchy, dry fur. Provides proteins, zinc and biotin. Best source of B vitamins. Most companies use cheaper brewers yeast which can be a combination of hops, corn, grains, wheat, etc., whatever comes from the brewery. Many animals have grain allergies, and this ingredient may further aggravate an allergy condition. With nutritional yeast culture, it is grown on sugar beets, a veggie source, so NO grains are present at all. Something to think about when reading ingredient labels.
Desiccated LiverThis fresh, natural flavor of real liver is wonderful for the finicky eater because when mixed with water, makes a great gravy that dogs crave. Supplies iron and B vitamins.
Bee PollenOne of nature's healthiest and most powerful "superfoods." Bee pollen contains an incredible array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. It's one of the most nutritionally complete natural substances found on earth. Supports a healthy immune system. Keeps healthy hormones in balance. Supports allergy protection.
GarlicGarlic contains allicin, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial capable of warding off different types of infection. Supports a healthy immune system.
Calcium CitrateCalcium is best absorbed in an acidic environment, hence calcium citrate is the best absorbed supplemental form of calcium---it does not require extra stomach acid for absorption. Intended to provide nutritive support for healthy bones, teeth and nerve function.
LecithinA rich source of choline, which the body requires to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter which is essential for normal, healthy nerve and brain function. Supports healthy liver function.
Lactobacillus AcidophilusPromotes healthy digestion which may reduce the occurrence of flatulence. Because NUPRO is in a powdered form and not from concentrate, it is easily assimilated into the system and digested with the dog's food. There is no sense in giving an animal this superior product if they don't digest it properly. Also promotes friendly bacteria in intestinal tract.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Nupro Silver Daily Vitamin & Joint Supplement:
Our older dog was limping and had little energy. I ordered Nupro and over time, I noticed she had more energy and was not limping anymore. I also noticed no fleas on her and we give her nothing else for fleas. So happy with the product and our dog loves it. I put it on her food in the morning and add a little water and mix it up.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent product
By Pebbles
from Tacoma, WA
This product is amazing! We rescued a beautiful 10yrs old Pomeranian which had skin issues/etc... She had barely any energy and wasn't able to walk well because of her back leg. The was only one option at the time which was to have her leg operated on. Luckily we were told about Nupro silver and after two weeks of regular use it worked! Its been nearly two years now and we still has no pain and plenty of energy pain free. For younger dogs you would use Nupro gold, excellent product. Also diet is as equally important, I purchase Honest kitchen "Embark" for my dogs and for my cat I also use "prowl".

Made my dog very gassy :(
By CS
from Colorado
After both hearing and reading all the rave reviews for this product I purchased a 5 lbs canister. I was hoping that it would be a good supplement for my overall healthy 12 year old dog who shows minor stiffness in her shoulders and back. Unfortunately, despite building it up slowly in her diet it gives her absolutely horrible gas! She has never been a gassy dog, but since being on this product she can clear a room. She also does not really seem to love the taste. She has now been on it for about a month and I will probably discontinue using it soon even though I have a lot left. I have not seen any change in her mobility or coat and with the stinky side effects that she has I don't think I will continue using it.I watched my dog's six year old daughter for a few weeks and tried it out on her too (hoping to use some of it up) and found it gave her gas too (but she loves the taste unlike her mother).
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

More Active Dogs within two weeks
By Tom Kole
from Providence RI
I have used Nupro products with all of my dogs both my own and the dogs we foster for several years. I have noticed a marked improvement in their energy and activity levels within two weeks time. The product is easy to use and the dogs enjoy the "liver" taste. I have had such success with this product line that I recommend it to anyone with an older dog, or a dog that appears to be slowing down due to joint issues.

"I will be buying more regularly.".
By kittykat1364
from Bellows Falls, VT
My 13 yr old Jack Russell started having problems with his front legs, lack of lustre to his coat, dry skin & other older dog troubles. I bought NUPRO JOINT SUPPORT SENIOR DOGS. He loves it & his stiff, sore joints have gone away, his coat is shiny again, his skin has improved, he is doing so much better. Thank you for such an excellent product that works.
Wonderful Supplement
By GSDMOM
from Paragonah UT
We chose this product in October of this year because we wanted to prevent joint problems with our young dogs, 4 and 5 years. We were happily surprised with the benefits. After just a few weeks, we are hearing less cracking and popping from our pups and their skin and coat IS AMAZING. They both feel like bunny rabbits. Time will tell if this will prevent joint problems but so far so good. The dogs love it and so do we. :)

In a labeling apparatus a rotor orbits palettes past a glue roller to receive a coat of glue and then to a labeling magazine to pick up a label. The label is carried past a printing mechanism which prints coded information on the label after which a gripping cylinder removes the labels from the palettes for subsequent application of the labels to containers such as bottles. To insure error free operation of the printing mechanism, a reading head is located between the printing mechanism and the gripper cylinder for monitoring the imprint on the labels.
1. Labeling apparatus including a rotor, a plurality of equiangularly spaced apart curved surface palettes carried on said rotor, a label magazine from which the palettes, respectively, withdraw a label as the palettes pass the magazine, gripping means for gripping and removing the labels from said palettes in succession, a printing mechanism arranged adjacent the path of movement of the labels on the palettes and positioned between the label magazine and the gripping means for imprinting the labels as they pass and the improvement comprising:
a reading head for monitoring the imprint after the label has passed said printing mechanism and before said label is removed from the palette by said gripping means,
said rotor having a plurality of upright shafts on which said palettes are mounted, respectively, and means for controlling said shafts to turn said palettes as the palettes travel past said reading head,
the radius of curvature (rE) of the curved palette surfaces (3) is smaller than the radius of curvature (ru) of the circular path of the palettes and said means for controlling said shafts to turn comprises a control cam which is followed by said shafts.
2. The labeling apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said reading head is an optical reading head.
3. The labeling apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said reading head is a magnetic reading head.
4. The labeling apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said reading head has an eye (12) at which said head senses said imprint, said control cam is constructed and arranged such that the center of curvature (KE) of said palettes turns around said eye of said reading head in a circular path (B1).
5. The labeling apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said means for controlling said shafts to turn said palettes is constructed and arranged such that the center of curvature (KE) of said palettes is stationary on a line (VA) between the center (MP) of the rotor and the eye (12) of reading head (10) as the curved palette surfaces (3) turn as they pass the reading head.
6. The labeling apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said reading head has an eye (12) at which said head senses said imprint (13) and said imprint is applied to the label symmetrically relative to the central radius (MA) of the curved palette surfaces (3) and said control cam is formed such that said central radius (MA) of palettes (4) is situated in front of said eye of the reading head (10) in the radial direction of the palette carrying rotor (2) as the leading edge (14) of the labels arrives and remains aligned in the radial direction of the rotor until the trailing edge (15) of the imprint travels past the eye of the reading head.
The invention disclosed herein relates to apparatus for applying labels to containers such as bottles. In particular, the invention pertains to a device for monitoring labels before they are applied to bottles to determine if coded information, such as the date on which the container was filled, has been properly applied by a printing mechanism to the labels.
Labeling machines of the type with which the new monitoring system can be used typically draw labels from a stack of labels in a magazine by means of palettes which oscillate rotationally as they are orbited on a rotor. The oscillating or partially rotating curved palettes move past a glue roller where they acquire a thin film of glue. The palettes then roll over the surface of the foremost labels in the magazine so the labels are picked up by the adhesive force of the glue. The exposed sides of the labels which are uncoated with glue then pass a printing mechanism where coded information is printed on the labels. After the information is printed, the labels, which are still carried on palettes, are rotated into proximity with a gripping cylinder which removes the labels from the palette surfaces and carries them onward to the transport path of the container which is to be labeled.
When there are printing mechanism malfunctions such as the printing mechanism running out of ink, the labels proceed without having the filling date or other coded information printed on them. Bottles from which the filling date are missing are not allowed to be sold under the law of some countries. The seriousness of the problem can be appreciated from realization that modern labeling machines of the type outlined above carry out up to twenty-one labeling operations per second so if there is a printing mechanism defect for only a short time, a substantial economic loss can result.
An objective of the invention is to provide a device for monitoring or detecting the occurrence of errors in the coded information resulting from malfunction of the printing mechanism.
Briefly stated, monitoring or detecting defective or missing printing is accomplished by having a detector such as a reading head arranged for monitoring the imprint as the labels are moving between the printing mechanism and the gripping or label pickup cylinder. Locating the detector or reading head between the printing mechanism and the gripping cylinder affords an opportunity to determine whether or not the coded information has been printed on the label. The inspection device comprised of a reading head or other detection device can be used to operate apparatus which can stop operation of the machine if several labels successively appear without an imprint. The signal from the information reading head can also be used when printing errors are not continuous but occur only sporadically to operate an ejector which removes any bottle that has not been properly imprinted. As a result of arranging the reading head between the printing mechanism and the gripping cylinder, any error occurring in printing can be very reliably determined because the reading conditions are optimal near the rotor or carousel that orbits the glue coated palettes. Since the curved palette surfaces oscillate rotationally in a very precise manner, usually with deviations of no more than 0.01 mm, the relationship of the palette surfaces and the reading head can be maintained very precisely. The detector or reading head can be accurately adjusted to grasp the individual labels at the same location, namely, in the region where the imprints are to be applied. If the monitoring were carried out on the bottle transporting table after the labels had been removed from the palettes, more difficult reading conditions would exist because of imprecisions resulting from bottle and machine part position tolerances. Additionally, if bottles of various sizes are to be labeled and the imprint monitored after labeling, it would be necessary to provide adjusting means to adapt for different distances between the bottles and reading head. Also, if the printing would need to be applied at various locations on the label, variously adapted table curves would have to be used. Having the printing head viewing the labels while they are still on the palettes means that the monitoring device is at some distance from the bottles so that if any bottle breaks, there is little if any, danger that the reading head could be damaged by flying glass splinters or liquid.
A variety of different print detectors can be used in the invention such as electro-optical reading heads or magnetic reading heads. Reflex light beam scanners can be used as electro-optical reading heads. A character reader can also be used as a print detector which can not only determine the presence or absence of an imprint, but can also read the imprint.
The invention is suitable for monitoring the print on labels regardless of the kind of printing mechanism that is used to apply the print such as type wheel printers, laser daters, laser printers, ink jet daters, or heated stamps, for example.
The new label print monitoring device can be used with different labeling devices such as where the palette surfaces contact a rotating cylinder or with labeling devices where the palette carrying rotor features upright individual palette shafts which carry at least one palette that has the shape of a sector of a circle and that have a control cam which guides the outer surfaces of the individual label pick up palettes past the reading head.
The invention can also be employed in labeling machines in which the radius of curvature of the label pick up palettes is smaller than the radius of curvature of the circular path of the palettes in which case the control cam is constructed such that it oscillates the palettes while they are moving in a circular path or an orbit. In one labeling machine of this type, according to the invention, a control cam is advantageously used that causes the center point of the individual palette curved surfaces to swivel around the sighting end herein called the "eye," of the reading head in a circular path. This arrangement is preferably employed when the distance from the reading head to the imprint being monitored only permits small tolerance, that is, when the reading head has a very limited depth of field. By controlling the individual palettes this way, the imprint always passes the sighting end or eye of the reading head or detection device at a constant distance to the focal plane of the reading head so that the reading head can be adjusted for a sharp focus at that distance to assure precise observation.
The imprint monitor can also be used with a control cam that maintains the center of curvature of the palettes stationary along the line between the palette rotor axis and the detector eye. This arrangement has the advantage of the eye always pointing vertically onto the part of the imprint which has just traveled past so that observation can be carried out precisely with reflected light independently of the length of the imprint. This arrangement does require a rapid swivel or oscillating motion of the individual palettes because of the rapid rotational movement of the palette rotors which requires correspondingly greater forces.
One embodiment of the invention that is presently considered preferred provides for the print to be applied to the label symmetrically relative to the center axis or axis of symmetry of the sector shaped label pick -up palettes where the control cam is constructed in such a way that the center axis of the palettes lies in front of the eye of the reading head along a radial line of the palette rotor when the advancing edge of the imprint approaches and remains aligned in the radial direction of the rotor until the trailing edge of the imprint has passed by the reading or inspecting eye. With this arrangement, the individual palettes are held in place after taking on the aligned position in which the center axis of the palettes and, also the center of the imprint, are aligned in the radial direction and they are then moved past the reading head in this fixed position. As a result, low forces are required for guiding the individual palettes while a slight limitation to the imprint must be considered since the reflex light beam can only be captured within a specific angular range by the reading head.
A more detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention will now be set forth in reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a labeling machine incorporating the invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagram of an embodiment of the invention in which a glue coated palette swings past the reading head with its center of curvature guided around the optical eye of the reading head in a circular path;
FIG. 3 is an embodiment in which the center of curvature of the palette, while swinging past the reading head, is maintained on the axis between the center of rotation of the palette rotor and reading head; and
FIG. 4 is an embodiment in which the center axis of the glue coated palettes point to the center point of the palette rotor while swinging past the reading head.
In FIG. 1, the schematic representation of the labeling device containing the invention is designated generally by the reference numeral 1. The labeling device comprises a palette rotor 2 which has label pick-up palettes 4 equiangularly spaced around the rotor. In this embodiment, eight palettes 4 are shown. Palettes 4 are fastened to palette shafts 11 which are acted upon by a control cam 18 which is shown schematically in dashed lines, in such manner that the palette surfaces 3 of the palettes 4 are swivelled back and forth during a rotation of the rotor that corresponds to a movement path initiated by the control cam. The control cam is basically like the cam shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,445,961. The palette rotor 2 which carries the individual swivelling or oscillating glue palettes 4 which swivel about the palette shafts 11, rotates at high speed during operation in the direction of the arrow P1. When the palette rotor 2 is rotating, the individual palettes 4 pass a glue roller 7 where the palettes pick up a thin coat of glue on their curved surfaces 3. Surfaces 3 are sectors of a circle. The glue coated palette surfaces 3 then travel past the unprinted side of a label in label magazine 6 where the palettes pick up the foremost label in the magazine. The label adhering to the palette surface is then guided past a printing mechanism 8 which prints the bottle filling date, for example, at a predetermined place on each label. Finally, the label reaches the gripping cylinder 5 which pulls the label from the palette surface and leads it to objects, such as bottles, which are to be labeled in a well known manner. The events so far described are known.
The invention resides in providing a reading head for monitoring whether or not the information is properly printed on the label. The invention features locating the coded information reading or inspecting head 10 between the printing mechanism 8 and the gripping cylinder 5. The reading head can be of the type which determines whether an imprint has been made at the desired location on the label or it can be of the type which consists of a camera which can analyze or determine the type of imprint that has been applied. Arranging the reading head 10 in close proximity to the palette rotor 2 makes it possible to monitor the printing position exactly since the palettes on the rotor and, hence, the labels follow a very precise path. Thus, the reading head 10 can reliably determine whether the printing mechanism 8 is functioning correctly. If the reading head 10 indicates that the position intended for an imprint does not contain an imprint, for example, the head transmits an appropriate signal by means of signal line 9, which signal can be used for control purposes. An optical or acoustic alarm, not shown, can be operated with the signal. It is also possible to use the signal to automatically eject a container that is without an imprint or the control can be adapted to shutting down the labeling machine if numerous labels or imprints are indicated to be absent by the reading head 10. But the label carrying palettes 4 must travel past the reading head 10 in such a way that it can monitor the printing reliably. The path of movement of the palettes past the reading head depends on the type of reading head which is used as will be explained hereafter in reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.
In the FIG. 2 embodiment, a reading head is employed which is sensitive to changes in depth of focus, that is, the reading head is of the type which requires only a low tolerance with regard to the distance between the head and the label to function properly. The reading head 10 is equipped, as in the other embodiments, so that the optical axis of the reading head points toward the center of rotation of the palette rotor 2. This position for the reading head 10 to record the signal is described herein as the "eye of the reading head" and is referred to in FIG. 2 by the numeral 12. This eye, for example, can be the focal point of a lens, not shown, which is arranged in front of the reading head 10.
In all of the examples the radius of curvature ru of the circular path of the palettes is greater than the radius of curvature rE of the individual removal palettes 4. The term "radius of curvature of the circular path of the palette" is understood as the radius ru drawn in FIG. 4, that is, the radius of the circle around the palettes in the center position. The swivel axis, that is, the axis of the palette shafts 11 is referenced in FIGS. 2 to 4 by SE and passes along the dash-dot path B2.
For the reading head 10 in FIG. 2 to carry out observations at a constant distance "a" to its optical eye 12 the center of curvature KE of the palette surfaces 3 is led around a circular path B1 around the optical eye 12. Hence, the imprint on the labels adhering to the palette surfaces always have a constant distance "a" to the reading head while traveling past the head 10. Thus, the reading head can precisely carry out the reporting process with appropriately adjusted depth of focus. The palette is thereby swivelled in the direction of the arrow P2.
A second possible movement of the palettes 4 past the reading head 10 is depicted in FIG. 3. This arrangement is advantageous where the reading head uses reflected light and the reading head is required to identify the imprint at certain label positions such as to the left or right of the central axis of the palettes 4. In the FIG. 3 arrangement, the illuminating light RL emitted from the reading head 10 is reflected at a constant angle, that is, the reflected light beam RL does not change its position of appearance in the reading head 10 as the palette travels past the head. This is achieved as a result of the center of curvature KE of the palette being maintained on the connecting axis VA which connects the optical eye 12 of the reading head with the center optical eye 12 of the reading head with the center point MP of the palette rotor during the time that the palette swivels past the head. The center KE of curvature thereby travels radially inward in the direction toward the center MP of the palette rotor into the position which is represented by K'E and again goes back to the position KE before it proceeds again. The swivel motion of the palette is, in this case, in the same direction as the motion in the FIG. 2 example and in FIG. 3 as indicated by the arrow P3.
In the FIG. 3 arrangement, however, relatively great forces can occur, since the palettes must carry out a very rapid swivel motion in order to achieve the described sequence of movements.
In the embodiment of the invention depicted in FIG. 4, the imprint on the label is applied symmetrically to the central radius of the palette surfaces 3.
In FIG. 4, three positions L1, L2, and L3 are shown, which represent the sequence through which the individual palettes 4 move. Position L1 shows the palette which has been moved to the reading head 10 such that its center axis MA points away from the axis MP of the palette rotor 2. The control cam 18 is now in a position to swivel the palette from the position L1 back in the direction of the arrow P4 until the center axis MA points to the center point MP of the palette rotor. This position is taken by the palette no later than when the leading edge 14 of the imprint enters into the reading zone of the reading head 10. After reaching position L2, the palette now swivels neither backward nor forward, but rather the center of curvature KE is advanced on a circular path B3 around the center point MP of the palette rotor, that is, the palette is moved on together with the rotor without its axis MA carrying out a swivel motion with respect to the radial direction of the rotor. This fixation of the palette occurs until the trailing edge 15 of the imprint 13 has traveled out of the zone of the reading head.
The sequence of movements described in FIG. 4 provides the advantage that the forces acting are very small, since the palettes are not swivelled. Of course, the distance at which the reading head 10 reads the imprint is changed during the reading procedure, whereby the reading distance is greatest at the front and rear edge and smallest in the middle of the imprint. With this arrangement, a reading head 10 is employed which has a tolerance or permissible depth of focus which is greater than or equivalent to this change in reading distance.
The invention is not limited to palette rotors which function with individual palettes having radii of curvature smaller than the radii of curvature ru of the circular palette path. The invention can also be used with palette rotors which function with palettes by which the operating radii of curvature are the same, and can also be employed with palette rotors which consist of rotating cylinders and have surfaces on the outer circumference. Also, the concept of a "reading head" is to be understood in the broadest terms, in particular, magnetic reading heads which can be employed when the printer uses magnetic inking fluid should also be included. Cameras can be employed as optical reading heads in the place of the simpler previously reflected light reading heads. It is also contemplated to employ the end of an optical photoconductor which then conducts light to a detection station situated farther away.

The Midnight Cafe (For Real)
Posted by midnightcafe on September 25, 2007
I am proud to announce that after many months of talking about getting some real webspace, I have actually got some real webspace.
It took a long time, a bit of sweat and luck, but I have no (hopefully permanently) moved to
Yes, I know, the "the" is kind of annoying. I wanted "midnightcafe.org, or .com or .whatever" but all of those were taken. So I had to add in "the."
Mark you calendars, add in your book marks, commit it to memory.
I'm in.
PS I know it is incredibly bare right now. I just got it and am excited. I suppose I should have waited until I had actually done something to it to impress you lot. But I couldn't wait. Keep your eye on it though, for it shall be spit shined soon.

Key Benefits for the End UserLocal Source SelectionPopular consumer audio sources such as iPods, AppleTVs and BluRay players can be located near the listener and connected via Cat 5 to the FlexPort audio inputs. With the push of a button, the user switches to the local audio source and then switches back to the default audio at will. This feature is also ideal for restaurants and clubs with live music where a user needs to override background music with audio from a mixer.Sound ScenesA Sound Scene is a system-wide snap-shot of all volume and source settings. Scenes allow the end-user to easily recall previously captured system settings. It is a perfect way to set the mood for parties, restaurant ambience and other commonly used system settings that need to be recalled with a single button press. Up to 10 Sound Scenes can be stored and recalled per SF-16M. For installations with multiple SF-16M's linked together, additional system-wide Sound Scenes can be stored and recalled across all units.Output GroupingAllows multiple outputs to be grouped together to share volume ramping, muting, source selection and more. Groups are ideal for making large areas a single audio zone or for grouping outputs with hi-pass and low-pass filters (sub/sat combinations) so that they respond together as one zone. Up to 10 groups can be stored per SF-16M.
Key Features
FlexPort Cat 5 Audio Transmitters (available soon)
Control Interfaces
The SF-16M PC Configuration Utility is an easy way to set up source and output names, audio settings, groups, sound scenes, override actions, and all other features of the SF-16M.
Flexible Input Options Most pro and consumer audio sources can be used with the SF-16M via its unique FlexPort™ audio inputs. Up to four FlexPort audio modules can be connected, via Cat-5, to each SF-16M. Module options include balanced line/mic, XLR, digital coax/optical, and analog RCA inputs, accommodating anything from pro audio mixers to Apple TV media players. FlexPort modules include an illuminated button that may be used to trigger audio override at all pre-selected SF-16M outputs. Scalable Outputs Any amplified output of the SF-16M can be assigned as mono or stereo, allowing for 16 mono, 8 stereo, or a mixture of both mono and stereo speaker locations per chassis. The SF-16M can split mono inputs to stereo outputs and combine stereo inputs to mono outputs. Up to four SF-16M units can be linked together to form a powerful 64 output system, with shared source signals and optionally shared FlexPort signals. Pure, Stable and Reliable Power Using Class-D digital amplification, the SF-16M produces a conservatively rated 45 watts per channel (all channels driven) or 60 watts (8 channels driven) at 8 Ohms and is stable to 4 Ohms. The SF-16M is so rock-solid that even a dead short to the outputs won't negatively affect the unit. The SF-16M shuts off the amplifier stage until the short is corrected and then comes back on without a power cycle.Innovative Linear Power Supply Quite possibly the most impressive benefit of the SF-16M is its dynamic audio quality. Competing Class-D products use switching power supplies, which are efficient, but have a serious flaw: they can't manage large transient peaks, resulting in audio distortion. The SF-16M hybrid linear supply has the headroom to respond to musical dynamics with extra power, because its analog design allows its floating voltage rail to accommodate quick transient peaks in the music, instead of clipping, like the switching supply does.Quality Front-End Components The SF-16M features 24-Bit, 96-kHz Burr-Brown A/D conversion with 64-times oversampling, resulting in natural, acurate sound reproduction of the input source material.Signal Processing Tools The SF-16M provides a rich palette of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) tools that allow the installer to custom-tune every sonic environment. For basic installations, use DSP such as bass, treble, balance and loudness. For more advanced home or commercial applications, use hi/low pass filters and up to 7-bands of parametric equalization per output.Pass-Thru Mode When you need a great sounding amp to use with an existing audio matrix, the SF-16M excels, providing 16 RCA inputs and DB-25 source audio loop outputs for system expansion. In addition, the SF-16M's DB-25 input allows for quick connection to Audio Authority audio matrix switchers such as HLX and ADX. The built-in FlexPort audio inputs can still be used in pass-thru mode to override any on-board RCA audio input, allowing for features such as local source selection, paging override, doorbell override, and room combining.Open Control ArchitectureThe SF-16M is compatible with virtually any control system available today using RS-232, Ethernet or IR commands. 2-way drivers for many of the top control systems are available for download from our website. In addition, iPad control of the SF‑16M is available by downloading control templates based on the Command Fusion control platform.*Easy SetupAdvanced setup tasks (input/output naming, group assignments, sound scene setup) are easy to perform using the SF-16M Audio Matrix Amplifier Software (1.42 MiB) . The beta version is now available. The SF-16M's front panel VFD display allows for access to basic settings required in a typical install. For added security, the front panel can be locked out, preventing tampering of system settings.

How Bad Is It For Fliers Today? Latest 'Misery Map' Shows
Originally published on Thu February 13, 2014 12:11 pm
With more than 5,000 flights into or out of the nation canceled today and hundreds more delayed because of the snow and ice storm moving up the East Coast, it's time once again to point to FlightAware.com's "Misery Map."
As All Tech Considered has explained before, the map "combines weather and flight data into a live map that lists which airports are being struck by storms, the number of delays and cancellations, and graphs that show flight destinations and the chances they'll actually make it on time."
The more red you see in the circle over an airport's location, the more miserable things are there for travelers.
It looks like there's plenty of misery to go around.

[read in Lamplighter (pdf)]
Lamb & Lion Ministries had four founders back in 1980. One supplied the faith; another, the leadership; a third, the money. The fourth was the one to whom God gave the vision for the ministry — a man named Dudley Head.
Dudley is one of the godliest men I have ever known. Ever since I met him in the 1970's, he has had an intimate relationship with the Lord, producing many special spiritual experiences in his life.
For example, I remember the day he called me excitedly to tell me about something that had happened to him in his backyard. "I was meditating on the Lord," he said, "when I sensed His presence. I quietly said, 'Lord, please manifest your presence to me in some special way.'"
Dudley said the words were hardly out of his mouth when a Monarch butterfly suddenly appeared, circled him a few times, and then landed in the open palm of his right hand. "We just sat there and stared at each other for a long time," Dudley said.
In 1963 Dudley was serving as the lay preacher of a small church in South Dakota, and he desperately needed encouragement. One day he got a telephone call from a stranger.
"Do you believe in helping people?" the man asked.
"Yes, I do," answered Dudley.
"Even if they are Jewish?"
"Yes," Dudley responded.
The man then explained that he was a Jew who was stranded in the town and needed help. He said he was at a gas station on the main highway that passed through the town.
Dudley drove over and picked him up. He was a young man in his early 30's. He said he had been hitchhiking from California.
Dudley took him home, and his wife fixed dinner for him. After dinner, Dudley asked the man if he would like to go to his church's Wednesday evening Bible study. The man agreed.
They were studying the Old Testament, something none of the members of the church were familiar with, including Dudley. As they began their study that evening, the Jewish stranger soon took over and began to explain the meaning of the Scriptures. Dudley was amazed, enlightened, and encouraged.
Dudley found a place for the man to stay that night and paid for his lodging. The next morning, he had disappeared without a trace.
To this day Dudley believes the man was an angel sent by God to encourage him and to get him interested in the prophecies contained in the Hebrew Scriptures. And ever since that strange experience more than 40 years ago, Dudley has emphasized Hebrews 13:2 to everyone: "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it."
Yes, the Bible teaches the reality of angels, and it teaches that they sometimes take on human form in order to minister to those who are in the process of being saved (Hebrews 1:14).
What are angels? Where did they come from? What is their purpose? Do they have a ministry today? How do they relate to the end times?
Angels are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:14) which were created by God (Genesis 2:1 and Colossians 1:16). Exactly when they were created is not clear, but they pre-date the creation of the material universe because the Scriptures say that they witnessed the creation and rejoiced over it (Job 38:4-7).
One of the greatest myths concerning angels pertains to their origin. Many people are convinced that when a saved person goes to Heaven, he or she becomes an angel. There is no biblical basis for this belief. Angels and humans are two separate entities. The Bible says that Man is slightly lower than the angels (Hebrews 2:5-7), but the Bible also teaches that through redemption Man becomes superior to angels and that the saved will one day judge the angels — most likely the fallen angels (1 Corinthians 6:3).
Jesus spoke of two kinds of angels — the "angels in Heaven" (Matthew 22:30) and "the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). The latter seem to have originated from Satan's rebellion against God.
Satan was originally one of God's most glorious angels, "full of wisdom and perfect in beauty" (Ezekiel 28:12). But his heart became lifted up because of his beauty (Ezekiel 28:17), and his pride motivated him to try to take the throne of God (Isaiah 14:12-14). Due to his rebellion, he was cast out of Heaven, down to earth, and one third of the angels were cast out with him because they joined his rebellion (Revelation 12:4).
The Bible does not tell us when this revolt took place, but it was most likely after the end of the creation week because at the end of that week God pronounced all of His creation to be "good" (Genesis 1:31).
I believe these fallen angels are the demons that are referred to in both the Old and New Testaments. Satan, in fact, is called the "ruler of the demons" (Matthew 9:34).
Three places in the Hebrew Scriptures we are told that people sacrificed to demons (Leviticus 17:7, Deuteronomy 32:17 and Psalm 106:37). With the opening of the New Testament, there is an explosion of demonic activity, undoubtedly in response to the First Coming of the Messiah. Jesus was often confronted by demons who recognized who He was (Mark 3:11), and much of His healing ministry was directed at casting demons out of people (Matthew 8:16).
The Bible teaches that some of these fallen angels did not keep to their properly assigned domain (Jude 6), and they were thus bound in a place called Tartarus, probably a compartment in Hades, possibly even the abyss or chasm that exists in Hades (Luke 16:26). What is meant by "not keeping to their own domain" is not clear. Some believe this is a reference to Genesis 6 where we are told that "the sons of God" had sexual relations with "the daughters of men" and that their union produced a race of giants known as the Nephilim (Genesis 6:1-4).
Angels are created spirit beings (Nehemiah 9:6 and Hebrews 1:14). Yet, the Bible clearly teaches that they can take on human form and appear to people. In the Old Testament there are recorded appearances of angels to Abraham, Hagar, Lot, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, David, Daniel, and many others. The New Testament opens with a whole series of angelic appearances related to the birth of the Messiah. After the death of Jesus, angels appeared at His tomb and at His ascension. Peter, John, Phillip, and Paul all had angelic encounters in their ministries.
In their biblical appearances angels always manifest themselves as men. There is no mention of them having wings. The idea that angels have wings is rooted in the Bible's description of some special angelic beings called Seraphim and Cherubim who reside in the throne room of God in Heaven. Seraphim are described as having six wings (Isaiah 6:2). Cherubim are depicted with four wings (Ezekiel 1:5-6).
When angels take on human form, they appear like any normal person (Genesis 18:2 and Genesis 19:1-17). When they manifest themselves in their spirit form, they tend to appear as dazzling light (Matthew 28:1-4).
Angels have emotions. They rejoiced over the creation of the universe (Job 38:7), and we are told that "there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:10).
Angels do not marry or procreate (Matthew 22:30). They do not age nor are they subject to death (Luke 20:36). Therefore, their numbers remain constant. The exact number is not revealed, but it is very large. Ten thousand angels appeared to Moses on Mount Sinai (Deuteronomy 33:2). David saw 20,000 at one time (Psalm 68:17). When John was raptured to the throne room of God, he saw ten times ten thousand (KJV) or, as the New American Standard Version puts it: "myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands" (Revelation 5:11). The book of Hebrews says there are "innumerable myriads" (Hebrews 12:22).
Angels have great knowledge, but they are not omniscient. Jesus said, for example, that angels do not know when His Second Coming will take place (Mark 13:32). Angels are very powerful (2 Thessalonians 1:7 and 2 Peter 2:11), but they are not omnipotent. They are obedient servants of their Creator (Psalm 103:20). They can move about rapidly, but they are not omnipresent. In short, angels are not gods, and therefore, they are not to be worshiped (Colossians 2:18 and Revelation 22:8-9).
There is no biblical passage that says angels have to eat to stay alive, but the Bible portrays them as eating when they take on human form (Genesis 18:1-8 and 19:1-3). Also, Psalm 78:25 refers to the manna God provided to feed the children of Israel in the wilderness as "the bread of angels."
In like manner, the Bible never specifically says that angels sing, but their singing is implied in two ways. First, their words are often expressed in poetic form (Luke 2:14, Revelation 4:8, 11, and Revelation 5:9-10,12-13). Second, music is a universal form of worship, and angels are pictured worshiping the Lord unceasingly (Psalm 148:1-2 and Revelation 4 and 5).
When angels speak to a person, they always use that person's native language. But the Bible indicates that angels have a language of their own that they use among themselves (1 Corinthians 13:1).
There is quite a variety of angels in addition to the regular ones and the fallen ones.
The Bible indicates that Satan may have originally been the supreme angel. Before his fall, he is referred to as "the anointed cherub" (Ezekiel 28:14). He is further described as "the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty" (Ezekiel 28:12- 13). After Satan's fall, an angel named Michael became the chief of God's heavenly host. He is the only angel referred to in the Bible as an "archangel" (Jude 9).
The Hebrew Scriptures portray Michael as "the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people [the Jews]" (Daniel 12:1). The book of Revelation pictures Michael as the commander-in-chief of the armies of God, and in this capacity, he wages war against Satan in the middle of the Tribulation when Satan tries one last time to take the throne of God (Revelation 12:7-9). So important and powerful is Michael that some cultic groups, like the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Seventh Day Adventists, have incorrectly identified him with Jesus.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:16 we are told that when Jesus appears for the Rapture of the Church, the event will be heralded by the shout of an archangel. Since Michael is the only angel identified in the Scriptures with this title, he is most likely the one who will utter the shout.
Another angel VIP is Gabriel. He emerges in the Scriptures as God's premier messenger. He appeared to Daniel twice, first to interpret a vision concerning the Antichrist (Daniel 8:15-26), and second, to present the prophecy of the 70 Weeks of Years (Daniel 9:20-27).
In the New Testament, Gabriel serves as an angel of annunciation. He was the one who proclaimed to Zacharias that his wife would give birth to a prophet named John (Luke 1:8-20). And he is the angel who told Mary that she would be the mother of the Messiah (Luke 1:26-33).
There are two mysterious groups of angels that occupy the throne room of God. They are called Seraphim and Cherubim. The Seraphim are pictured only once in the Scriptures, in Isaiah 6:1-3. In this passage Isaiah is given a glimpse of God's throne room in Heaven. He sees angelic creatures called Seraphim hovering above God's throne. They are described as having six wings each. They appear to be worship leaders as they cry out, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts, the whole world is full of His glory."
The Cherubim are first mentioned in Genesis 3:24. After the fall of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden, God posted Cherubim with flaming swords "to guard the way to the tree of life." They are next mentioned in Exodus 25 when God told Moses to place images of two Cherubim on the mercy seat (the lid) of the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25:18-20).
When King Solomon built his magnificent temple, he placed two gigantic images of Cherubim in the Holy of Holies. Their outstretched wings hovered over the entire chamber, including the Ark of the Covenant with its smaller Cherubim (2 Chronicles 3:8-14). These symbolic usages of Cherub symbols indicate that Cherubim are special guardians of God's things.
The most detailed description of these enigmatic celestial creatures can be found in chapter one of Ezekiel's prophecy. Ezekiel was a prisoner in Chaldea by the Chebar River when he had a vision of a storm coming from the north with glowing figures in the clouds (Ezekiel 1:1-4). He described them as "four living beings" that had "human form," but each of them had four faces and four wings (Ezekiel 1:4-6). They gleamed like burnished bronze (Ezekiel 1:7). Each of these creatures had the face of a man, the face of a lion, the face of a bull, and the face of an eagle — seemingly representing all of God's creation (Ezekiel 1:10).
Ezekiel later identifies these creatures as Cherubim (Ezekiel 10:15) when he encounters them for a second time. The second encounter is a sad one. It occurred when God decided to withdraw His glory from the Holy of Holies in preparation for the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. As the glory of the Lord (what the Jews called "the Shekinah") departed, Ezekiel witnessed Cherubim accompanying it to Heaven (Ezekiel 10:1-22).
When the Apostle John was raptured to Heaven from the Isle of Patmos, he saw similar creatures in front of God's throne. Like Ezekiel, he referred to them as "four living creatures" (Revelation 4:6). What he saw was very similar, but not exactly the same. He does not mention each having four faces, and he says they had six wings each instead of four. But he does state that each one had a different face, and the faces mentioned are the same as what Ezekiel saw — lion, bull, man, and eagle.
The only other special angel mentioned in the Scriptures is a very special one indeed. He is the one who is referred to throughout the Old Testament as "The Angel of the Lord." I believe He is none other than Jesus making preincarnate appearances.
Michael is the commander-in-chief of the heavenly host and the designated defender of Israel. Gabriel is God's special messenger. The Seraphim are worship leaders. The Cherubim are guardians. The Four Living Creatures of Revelation are either identical with the Cherubim or else they are special representatives of all God's creation. Like the Seraphim, they praise God without ceasing (Revelation 4:8-9).
Regarding the host of regular angels, the Bible makes it clear that they are servants of God who have a variety of tasks. One of those tasks is indicated by their name. The very word, angel, is derived from the Greek word, angelos, which means "messenger." The Hebrew equivalent, malakh, also means "messenger." Accordingly, angels are often pictured in the Scriptures as delivering messages from God. The examples abound throughout the Scriptures. To mention only a few —
A second major role of angels is to minister to the needs of saints. They were sent to provide food and drink for Elijah as he lay dying in the wilderness (1 Kings 19:1-8). In like manner, angels were dispatched to minister to Jesus after His exhausting 40 days of temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:11). An army of angels surrounded the prophet Elisha to protect him when his life was endangered (2 Kings 6:15-19). In the New Testament, we are told that Peter was released from prison by an angel (Acts 12:5-11).
An equally significant role of angels is to execute judgments of God. They were sent to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:12-15). An angel of the Lord killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night to prevent them from attacking Jerusalem (2 Kings 19:35). Psalm 78:49 speaks of a "band of destroying angels" that was sent to torment the Jews in the wilderness when they rebelled against God. The New Testament makes it clear that God will execute His end time judgments on the nations through angels (Matthew 13:49- 50 and Jude 14-15).
Some angels seem to have highly specialized responsibilities that relate to the natural universe. Revelation 16:5 refers to "the angel of the waters." Another is called the angel "who has power over fire" (Revelation 14:18). In Revelation 7:1 four angels are pictured who have control of the winds of the earth.
The most popular concept of the role of angels is that of guardians. Most people seem to believe that God has assigned a guardian angel to each person. The Bible never says this, but it does indicate a guardian role for angels. As I have already mentioned, the Archangel Michael is the protector of Israel (Daniel 12:1). Jesus indicated that children have guardian angels. He is quoted in Matthew 18:10 as saying, "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of My Father..."
Hebrews 1:14 indicates that believers may have guardian angels: "Are they [angels] not all ministering spirits sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?" I love this verse, and I often claim it in prayer. For example, when I have to travel out of town, I always pray for the Lord to post an angel at my home to watch over my wife. And I always pray for the Lord to surround my airplane with angels to guarantee a safe flight.
A companion verse to Hebrews 1:14 can be found in Psalm 91:11-12 —
11) For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.
12) They will bear you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
The letters Jesus dictated to John for the seven churches of Asia Minor are addressed to "the angel" of each church. Some believe this is a reference to the pastor, and that could very well be, but I cannot help but imagine that the Lord has assigned an actual angel to guard each of His true churches.
With one exception, which we will see later, angels are never given the responsibility of proclaiming the Gospel. This is the work of the Holy Spirit through human evangelists, pastors, and laymen. But angels are often portrayed as playing an active role in evangelistic preparation. Thus, it was an angel who directed the evangelist Philip to the location of the Ethiopian enunch so that the Gospel could be shared with him (Acts 8:26). The situation is reversed with the Roman soldier, Cornelius. An angel appeared to him in order to direct him to Peter so that Peter could share the Gospel with him. Angels guide, but the Holy Spirit instructs (Acts 8:29).
Several verses indicate that angels are active and involved eyewitnesses to what is going on in the Church and in the lives of believers (1 Corinthians 4:9, 11:10 and 1 Timothy 5:21). Surely the "cloud of witnesses" referred to in Hebrews 12:1 must include the angels as well as saints who have gone to be with the Lord. In this sense I think we can consider the angels to be our cheerleaders! We know for certain that they celebrate when a sinner repents and is saved (Luke 15:10). The Bible also indicates that they attend the death of a believer. In His story about Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31), Jesus left us with the comforting concept that when a believer dies, his spirit is ushered into the Lord's presence by angels (Luke 16:22).
Dr. Vance Havner commented on the impact of angels as observers in his book, Though I Walk Through the Valley (1974). He tells the story of the pastor of a small country church who was working late into the night on a sermon. His wife asked him why he was spending so much time on a message that would be given to such a small congregation. He replied, "You forget, my dear, how large my audience will be!" Dr. Havner added, "Nothing is trivial here if Heaven looks on. We shall play a better game if, 'seeing we are encompassed,' we remember who is in the grandstand."
The Bible reveals that there will be a flurry of angelic activity in the end times.
The Four Living Creatures before the throne of God are the ones who will execute the first series of judgments that will mark the beginning of the Tribulation. It is in response to their commands that the Four Horsemen go forth with the Seal Judgments that result in the death of one-fourth of humanity (Revelation 6:1-8). Simultaneously, it is angels who will seal 144,000 Jews so that they will be supernaturally protected from all the judgments (Revelation 7:2-3).
When the second series of judgments begin — the Trumpet Judgments — it will be angels once again who serve as the instruments of God's wrath, resulting in the deaths of one-third of those still left alive (Revelation 8 and 9).
In the middle of the Tribulation, Satan will try one last time to take the throne of God, resulting in a war in the heavens between Satan and his demonic angels and Michael and his holy angels. Satan will be defeated, and he and his angels will be cast down to earth. His access to Heaven will be cut off permanently (Revelation 12:7-12).
In the second half of the Tribulation we are told that God will give Mankind one last opportunity to repent before He pours out His final wrath. He does this in a most unusual way. He sends forth three angels with very specific tasks.
The first angel, the one I like to refer to as "the Gospel Angel," is given the responsibility to proclaim the "eternal gospel" to "every nation and tribe and tongue and people" (Revelation 14:6). This will be the only time in history that God has allowed an angel to preach the Gospel. It will constitute the fulfillment of a prophecy made by Jesus when He said: "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come" (Matthew 24:14).
The second angel will follow the first as he circumnavigates the earth. His task will be to proclaim the impending destruction of the kingdom of the Antichrist (Revelation 14:8). The third angel will follow along behind the first two. His role will be to issue a warning that anyone who worships the Antichrist and receives his mark will suffer God's wrath and torment in Hell (Revelation 14:9-11).
These three proclamations will be followed by the final outpouring of God's wrath, called the Bowl Judgments (Revelation 16). Once again, seven angels will execute these judgments (Revelation 16:1). Angels are also the ones who will destroy the capital city of the Antichrist in one hour on one day (Revelation 18).
The destruction of the Antichrist and his kingdom will bring to a close the terrible period of the Tribulation and will result in all the heavenly host breaking forth in celebration shouting, "Hallelujah!" (Revelation 19:1-7). Shortly thereafter, this same host of angels will return to earth with Jesus at His Second Coming (Matthew 24:30-31). They will gather the elect (those saved during the Tribulation who are still alive) from the four corners of the earth (Matthew 24:31).
The only information we are given about angels in the Eternal State is that the fallen angels, together with Satan, will be tormented in Hell forever (Matthew 25:41 and Revelation 20:10). No information is supplied regarding the godly angels.
I would assume that the holy angels would continue to serve God eternally and that they would also continue to minister to the Redeemed. I yearn to hear their stories about their interventions in my life. I look forward to their fellowship, and most of all, I look forward to hearing them sing!

Three injured in street sweeper accident
Dust apparently kicked up by a city street sweeper led to a three-car collision on Veterans Boulevard Monday that left one woman in serious condition.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Ryan Stoffle said the street sweeper was in the right lane, heading toward Sevierville, when it came upon dust in the road at a construction site.
"He'd kicked up just a big, huge dust cloud," Stoffle said. "(The other two drivers) might not have been able to see the sweeper truck."
A pickup truck going in the same direction passed into the cloud and struck the street sweeper in the rear; the truck was rear-ended by a car following behind it.
Jannalyn Harmon, a passenger in the pickup, was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center and is in serious condition. Jeremiah Harmon, the driver of the pickup, suffered less serious injuries, Stoffle said.
Richard Quilliams, driver of the street sweeper, and Patsy Kincer, who was in the third car, were also treated for minor injuries.
Stoffle said he didn't anticipate filing charges in connection with the wreck.

Nelson, who began the season as the No. 1 quarterback, beat out junior Gino Simoni for the starting nod in Saturday's game at Alcorn State, leading the Tigers to a 30-20 win. This came one week after he was benched […] [Read More]
PV beats Arkansas-Pine Bluff to return to .500
Prairie View A&M has been hampered by a laundry list of injuries, and its offense can't seem to get it going early in games. Still, the Panthers are hanging in there.

Reimbursements: Sep 07
A. Rule #1: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Recently, some billing companies have offered guarantees of collections to ED physician groups, some even making offers without performing a chart audit. These guarantees range from a guaranteed increase of X dollars per patient to X percentage increase in net collections. From a smart business contractual perspective, how could any third party make these types of guarantees? In my humble opinion,
this is a marketing gimmick and should be treated as such. A chart audit is usually necessary
to provide a realistic projection of collections based on the appropriate economic drivers. The appropriate economic drivers include but are not limited to payor mix, acuity mix, physician documentation, coding mix, and managed care contractual rates.
The billing company can't control most of the economic variables that affect reimbursement. Often, not even the physician group can control the most important economic drivers. Furthermore, most billing companies would not guarantee collections without a chart audit and without a healthy plethora of contractual fine print that provides outs in the event of any changes to the economic drivers that
affect collections.
The one instance when a guarantee might be realistic is when a prospective billing company is replacing a company that is doing a very poor job and where the potential for improvement is enormous. However, these situations are rare. If a billing company makes you a guarantee, proceed with caution. Ask yourself, "Why would they be willing to pay me money out of their pocket for economic downturns that most likely are not in their control?" Truth is, billing companies would
not want to do this and thus getting your money in the event of the downturn may prove very difficult.

Web 2.0 is the next generation of websites. It is defined by techies as any website where the user not only can access information from the web but can easily add their own content. Some popular Web 2.0 sites are Facebook where users can add pictures and messages, Youtube where you can upload videos, and podcasts where you can upload audio episodes that can be easily downloaded to an Ipod using ITunes. As you can imagine, there can be many beneficial applications of Web 2.0. I will focus on 3 such examples that might be worth researching over the summer as you prepare classes for the coming school year.
The first is creating a Blog. A Blog or weblog is a web-based diary where you can easily upload date stamped messages containing pictures and hyperlinks and comment on other messages. These Tech Tips are posted online at my blog techrav.blogspot.com. Blogs can be used to create classroom assignments where students comment on a piece of literature or a discussion topic posted by the teacher. The students can also comment on each other and even create postings themselves. This year one teacher even created a blog in partnership with a sister school in Israel. Both our students and the Israeli students were able to comment on the same assignments and communicate with each other over the web, a truly impressive Web 2.0 application. The best place to get started is at blogger.com where I host my bog. Here is a quick tour of how to create a Blog: http://www.blogger.com/tour_start.g.
The second idea is to create a Wiki. A Wiki is a quick and easy way to create and edit web pages. Wikipedia is the most famous example of a Wiki but you can create your own using a free wiki site like wikispaces.com. For a class project, the Wiki becomes the box to put all of the materials in. You can use a simple text editor to add text, pictures, and hyperlinks to your wiki and can even add files like Word documents, and PowerPoint and Smart Notebook presentations. The wiki can be setup so that only your students can view it with a secure username and password and students can be allowed to edit certain pages of the Wiki. The best part is that a history is created of every edit so you can easily reverse anything and track who is making which edits. Wikispaces is giving away free password protected, ad free Wiki sites for K-12 schools as a part of their project to create 100,000 school wikis.
To create a free wiki that is password protected click here on this picture: .
My final idea is to use Google docs which can be accessed at docs.google.com. I used to think Google docs was merely a poor man's Microsoft Office with free versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. However, I now realize that it is a full-fledged Web 2.0 application. What makes Google docs truly amazing is that anyone can edit the same document at the same time from anywhere in the world. For example, I can be working on a document together with my project members in Pittsburgh, Florida, and Israel. This is a great improvement over emailing documents to group members and tracking revisions. You can literally all be working on the same page at the same time. The potential classroom application for using Google Docs is obvious. Plan a project next year where students will collaboratively create a paper or presentation using Google docs. This will not only teach students the material they research but will allow them to creatively learn the vitally important skill of working together as a group.

Press Release
Secretary Salazar Lauds Senate's Confirmation of Hilary Tompkins as Interior Solicitor
Contact: Frank Quimby (202) 208-6416
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today lauded the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Hilary Tompkins as Solicitor of the Department of the Interior, the agency's top general counsel.
"I welcome Hilary to our policy team and look forward to her counsel and leadership in helping us fulfill Interior's broad mandate, from managing federal land, water and energy resources, to conserving endangered species, to building a better future for American Indian and Native Alaska communities," Salazar said. "She is an outstanding professional with strong legal and managerial skills and will make an excellent Solicitor."
Tompkins, an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico School of Law, will head the Department's general counsel office and represent Interior in administrative and judicial litigation, negotiations and other contracts with Congress, federal agencies, states, tribes and the public.
From 2003 to 2008, Tompkins was chief counsel to New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, whom she advised on legal and policy issues including legislation, judicial appointments, executive orders, constitutional authority, civil litigation, statutory interpretation, and intergovernmental affairs. She also managed the legal staff in the Governor's office, supervised the general counsels in more than 20 state executive agencies, and advised the governor on American Indian affairs.
Before that, Tompkins was an attorney with Sonoksy, Chambers Sachse, Endreson & Perry, a national law firm devoted to representing American Indian interests. Prior to that, she served as a special assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, where she was lead counsel for a number of civil lawsuits in federal court.
Previously, Tompkins served as an honors program trial lawyer in the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, where she handled civil prosecutions in environmental cases nationwide. She also was a law clerk for the Navajo Nation Supreme Court in Window Rock, Arizona. Before becoming a lawyer, Tompkins worked for the Navajo Nation Department of Justice as a tribal court advocate after passing the Navajo Nation bar exam.An enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, Tompkins received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dartmouth College and a Juris Doctor degree from Stanford University, where she was associate editor of the Stanford Law Review

Join the Wolfpack in the Grand Opening of the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Complex
Aug. 5, 2004
Women's head coach Hans Olsen and men's head coach Jon Choboy have announced the grand opening of the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Complex, and they are calling on all Wolfpackers to join them in celebrating this exciting time in NC State tennis.
Saturday, September 11, both programs will be hosting a grand opening event to commemorate the opening of the new state-of-the-art facility. Several activities are already planned for the event, including a ribbon-cutting, round robin match play with current and former NC State tennis players and a dinner to cap off the evening. The event is currently slated to being at 2 p.m.
The indoor facility at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Complex encompasses 30,000 square feet and includes courtside men and women's locker rooms, brand new offices for assistant and head coaches, and a luxurious players lounge complete with plush couches and large-screen televisions. On-court grandstand seating and diffused lighting will also allow fans of Wolfpack tennis to experience the action in person as never before.
In addition to the new indoor facility, the outdoor courts have also been given a gracious face-lift. Not only have the courts been completely resurfaced, but a large grandstand will also be added to accommodate up to 1,000 spectators. New landscaping will also be added to make the facility more aesthetically pleasing.
The J.W. Isenhour Tennis Complex is named in honor of J.W. Isenhour, a former head coach of NC State men's tennis from 1968-81. Isenhour also led the women through three successful seasons. He brought NC State tennis from near obscurity into the limelight. Isenhour's men's teams compiled back-to-back Atlantic Coast Conference Championships in 1978 and 1979 and advanced in the NCAA Championships in 1978.
The event is open to all former Wolfpack players and fans of NC State tennis. If you are interested in attending the event, please contact Coach Hans Olsen via e-mail ( email@example.com ) or telephone (919-515-7674). Former Pack tennis players are also encouraged to fill out this questionnaire and keep in touch with the program.

Having marvelled at David Desandro's Opera Logo made entirely in HTML and CSS, I wanted to try a similar experiment for myself. So with a large scoop of border-radius I set about trying to create various 'common' icons that could be used in your web apps.
CSS3 Transition Delay

Our world is now a world of information. On the one hand this makes many things easier, fun or even possible but on the other it can cause us to be overloaded with information and distracted by our constant connections. In this unit we look at how we might manage better and use information and connections in business, at work and in everyday life.
The unit begins by considering the changes that the digital world has made to our lives and how we live in a world immersed in information and social media. We then look at how we can search and analyse information and utilise social media for business, learning and collaboration. We then look at how information can be used to assist people but also to monitor and manage people at work and at home. Finally, we consider how to use ICT in a more secure manner.

How did this dog end up in the woods? If the dog was allowed to roam freely, then people take a risk of something horrible happeneing to it. You cannot let a your pets roam around cause of sick people like one the one that did this. This very thing happened in Cullman where people let their dog out unsupervosed and also not on a leash. The dog was able to return home, but had to be put down as well due to its injuries.
Please be responsible pet owners and do not let your pets out off a leash unsupervised.
Will Smith was in France recently and was touting higer taxes, everyone needs to pay more. When the host told him the taxes were 75%...Willy backed off his statement.
Frank Matthews, a community activist and president of the Outcast Voters League, said if Cooper Green is closed he will have people stand outside other hospitals and prevent ambulances from bringing people there. "It's a threat and we will make good on it," Matthews said. "Get ready." Matthews called out several state legislators, including Rep. John Rogers, who he said had failed to help the county.
Total lies! The NAACP has no input. They do not pay the taxes, we the citizens do. So stay out of our affairs. Unless, thru want to provide the millions we lose annually, sthu!
Sell this place! Let another entity have it. The indigent will still get medical care and will not be turned away. John Rogers knows it, and do does the NAACP. Wonder if there are any kickbacks behind this?
Cowards in here can't stand to hear the truth. I only wish we could see who has bloggers comments deleted. You know who you are.
A coward that cannot stand to hear truth!
People were duped. The media withheld info on the injuries. This cause racial tensions and had Al and the NBP's raising h###. We now know it was true what Zimmerman stated. Everyone just knew the little black kid with tea and skittles was hunted down and murdered.
We see teens killing every day right here in Bham. Treyvon was no different that he attacked someone who in this case could defend himself.
Another time people were duped
he did not wait. paramedics treated him at the crime scene
C'mon you guys in Montgomery...pass HB 156! The animals in this state state need it.
Your benefits package is great. If you want more money, I agree you need to seek other employment. I am sure there are thousands of people who will be glad to have your job
Key words: anticipates generating
Don't count on it
Some customers even brought small children to the house to buy drugs. One woman was pregnant and had another infant with her but had come to the house to make a purchase, Hagler said. She was released, he said.
I bet their mothers are saying right now...they are GOOD boys.
What? I thought only two weeks ago Barry Soetoro announced the war on terror was over? Idiot
West End, no job, welfare?
People cannot hear the truth! Sadly, Al.com does not read the posts and they just delete cause someone tells them to.
Look. welfare is the reason kids are failing in os many ways. slacker parent, dropped out of school, then has an illigitimate kis or kids, she is a kid herslf....how can a kid fare well in that environment. Most of hte time the kids never know who their father is.
The problem is what comes from the home. No morals or discipline. The parent blames everyone EXCEPT herslf for the reason their kid fails or commits crime. Last week we had a 13 yo killed cause he was robbing someone, yet the mom said he was a good boy. Then we had several teens execute a group of men in Ensley, the mom said their kid was good.
Look at the Seay family. Sons were rmurderes and their mother was in on it too. no father and a welfare home. Need I say more?
The true report you need to do is see how kids are scoring on exams and then see if they are in a welfare home. That is your answer! Do the same for prisoners. Bet you will find they came from a welfare home.
That is why entitlement doesnt work.
Stop laying blame on everyone you can accept yourself.
typo EXCEPT yourself
We billions in foreign aid, yet our own go hungry? This is insane. We should take care of our Veterans and seniors FIRST!
But Barry O just gave 1.5 BILLION to the Muslim Bortherhood last week and we let our seniors starve? People you need to vote that Marxist out of office.
Look, this is a bogus tax. Th county can get monies from other places. There are lots of properties in terrible shape or abadoned. Sell these and get rid of them. rthen, those who are not keeping up there land fine them! Then if they dont comply, sell that land too. Finally, there has not even been a mention of an kind of audit to see where the monies going through Jeffcowent. We need ot know this.
Finally, stop paying there outside firms millions of dollars when it gets us nowhere positive. We have lawyers on staff, use them.
Stop wasting our money!
The Wash. Post also did a story on it. Barry has bypassed Congress in many things so please spare me the he does no wrong bull. He is a marxist hater of this country and wants to destroy it. Aside from that we could have used 1.5 BILLION for our seniors
Muslim Brotherhood...they get 1.5 BILLION bypassing Congress no less. Dictator in Chief does it again.
Not humanitarian aid, but military aid.

As the deep, brick-red color of this sauce might suggest, the morita chile is very hot. It has the smoky flavor of chipotle -- indeed, you will often see it advertised as a chipotle morita or something similar -- with a slightly fruity note. It pairs beautifully with hunks of pork tenderloin. Eat it as is or fold it into corn tortillas (provided with the meal) to make a taco. Either way, it's likely to sear even the most jaded palates.
