A subcommittee of the Fort Wayne Community Schools board has developed a new process for evaluating the superintendent, one that ties achievement to compensation and will be used for Superintendent Wendy Robinson's upcoming evaluation.
The process was presented to the entire board, except members Becky Hill and Steve Corona, who were absent, by the board's special attorney, Tim McCauley, at its meeting Monday evening. "This is a totally new process -- one that will serve you not only in the upcoming school year but in school years to come," McCauley said.
Robinson said she felt comfortable with the process and its level of transparency, particularly because the district is piloting the state's RISE program, the teacher-valuation model that will also use a percentage of student achievement data to determine pay.
"It's difficult to talk about accountability with teachers when I'm not going through a similar process," she said.
Previously, the board performed Robinson's evaluations based on the calendar year. Her last was at the end of 2010, making it impossible to use test scores to determine raises or bonuses. Evaluations will now be required within 90 days of the end of the contract year, June 30, and include test scores and other data.
Robinson has not received a raise or bonus since her contract was renewed in November 2009. Her base salary is about $174,000. That figure doesn't include annuity or any other compensation such as a district vehicle.
Robinson also approved the process, as her contract requires mutual agreement before changes such as this can be made.
The evaluation process was developed using a research-based model out of North Carolina. Robinson said the model will look familiar to teachers and administrators because it is similar to the teacher-evaluation program the district is piloting for the state.
Although the process will be similar for Robinson's upcoming evaluation, it won't be identical because some work is required one year before the evaluation. Parts of her evaluation will be made public, including if she receives a raise or bonus, at the Sept. 26 board meeting.
The process outlines the steps of the evaluation and provides a timeline by which the steps must be completed.
Under the new process, Robinson will be required to establish up to five goals, with the target being three. Each goal will be tied to a set of seven standards that board members will use in her final evaluation. Robinson will also determine the type of documentation she will provide the board that will prove she achieved her set goals.
Robinson will give the board quarterly status update reports, with a final report given in July. Her performance will be rated on a scale using a rubric, outlining scores and what it takes to achieve a specific score. Scores range from 0 to 4 and are labeled unsatisfactory to distinguished.
Board members will use the rubric to individually evaluate the superintendent. All seven scores will be tallied, and the median or middle score will be given. The board will evaluate the superintendent using that score. The superintendent could potentially receive a raise based on his or her score and a bonus or incentive based on achievement of the set goals and district growth.
Compensation will be determined when the superintendent sets his or her goals. The board will determine the percentage of the base salary the district can afford to give as a raise, ranging from 0 to 5 percent. The superintendent will be required to receive a certain score to receive 50 or 100 percent of that raise.
At this time the board will also set a maximum amount of the base salary that can be afforded as a bonus. That amount will be divided into two pots and a percentage paid out based on the superintendent's performance.
Board president Mark GiaQuinta said the process for Robinson's upcoming evaluation Sept. 26 will look similar because the board knows what goals were set for Robinson at the beginning of the last school year, including completing the closure of Elmhurst High School, transitioning the district after outsourcing custodial work, making adequate yearly progress under No Child Left Behind, and getting North and South Side high schools off academic probation.
The board will decide during an executive session, closed to the public, whether she deserves additional compensation using her performance based on those goals, but certain documents will be available to the public at the Sept. 26 board meeting.

Love the water
I use the alkaline water for work every day. It works great. The water keeps me hydrated and energized. In my line of it is important to keep hydrated. This water works much better than other "energy/ionized" drinks.
Body Wrap
Love the body wrap. Felt a major difference. The soothing music and quiet atmosphere is a plus. It was such a shock to see so much fluid in my suit. I felt refreshed afterwards.

Ridiculously Easy Reusable Verismo Pods
I love my new Verismo machine, but I cannot stand spending $1.00 a pod (2 pods a drink). I guess that is why I have been obsessing about making my pods reusable. In fact, I made my pods reusable with a complex, time-consuming process you can read about here if you have time to waste. If not, I had my aha (or duh) moment this morning, and figured out the easiest, cheapest possible way to reuse Verismo pods, and it only takes about 10 seconds.
Here goes. Cut the plastic off of an existing pod. Loosely fill with espresso (or coffee, or tea, or hot chocolate). Wrap top in aluminum foil.
That's it! I've included some pictures below, but it is super easy, and it saves you a friggin' dollar per pod! You're welcome.
UPDATE: If you over-fill or pack the esspresso in too tight, the pod won't allow water through, and will flood your machine. So make sure you are loosely filling your pod!
If that isn't enough, you can view my YouTube video for a tutorial. http://youtu.be/6q5XmbdqBsA
Love your aha or duh moment! So simple. I have been trying to figure this one out since I got my Verismo for Christmas. Thanks!
James permalink
Looks great. Any problem with breaks?
Unfortunately, I tried it this past weekend and it exploded in the machine. I was worried that I had broken the Verismo because it was clogged but after running clean water through it the machine is now working. I am a little apprehensive about trying it again. I wonder if the weight of the foil could make a difference? What is the weight of the foil you used?
Kelly permalink
Thank you soo much for this ! I am going to attempt this tomorrow . Have you ever thought if trying that press and seal stuff ?? What's your thoughts on using that ? Thanks a million for the tips again !
Amy Johnson permalink
Thank you!!! I've been so annoyed with the price tag on these pods and the frequent trips back to Starbucks. Thanks!
So I finally tried the dry milk in the milk pods. It works good but the taste is not the same. Not bad just different.
eddy permalink
This does not work. The shot is way lighter than expected. In fact, it's lighter than drip coffee. Thanks for trying but we need a better solution to this problem.
biddyg permalink
eddy, it could also be the type of grin on the coffee you're using…although I haven't tried this method, I had considered it even before seeing this post, but I've worked for Starbucks before, so I know the right grind for the machine being used is helpful in making a great cup of coffee. I had read somewhere else that a fine grind works better in these types of one cup machines…again I haven't tested it, so I don't know, but it's worth a try.
John permalink
I was excited to try this and just bought a bag of Starbucks Espresso roast, foil, and press and seal. I tried both methods, and different levels of coffee ranging from a small, medium, and large amount. I was hoping to get a taste that was different than dirty dishwater, but I had no success. A very clever idea, but the taste was just not there for me. Can anyone else comment on the taste? The machine produces some pretty awesome americanos when using the real pods though!
Thanks so much! We tried your method this weekend, and it was mostly successful — we have to adjust the amount of coffee somewhat, but the basic method WORKS!
That looks like a great idea. I am shopping for a machine for my office. For me, it's about getting the coffee I want from the farm I want. So thanks for the legwork! What about the milk pods? It seems that to reuse the milk pods would require a specific kind of dry milk?
The Verismo milk pods are terrible anyway; I went and bought a milk frother instead (the Aeroccino 3).
David permalink
I was thinking of the same idea & did a search to see if the "wheel" had already been invented. Glad I came across your idea. In general, the Verismo pods are too small to make more than a small espresso. Wish they had a larger & generic pod so we could all try the endless coffees of the world. I imagine its a matter of time before someone comes out with the "reuseable" pod for the Verismo. Until then, thanks for sharing a great idea!
Leslie permalink
THANK YOU so much for this!! Got a Verismo for a gift even though I'm not in a position to be able to buy the expensive pods. I bought dry milk and will try that next. YOU, dear lady, are a genius!
I tried regular coffe three times and all of them were very weak and the water from the pod kept running till I lifted the handle…is anyone else experiencing this? Is it that only espresso works? Thanks to all!
Erin permalink
How much grounds do I need to use?! Nobody has said….? Like 2tsps or ??
Duane permalink
I will try this tomorrow! Thanks forthe idea! Do you line the bottom as well?
Mike permalink
Appreciate for sharing.
Tiffany permalink
Can I reuse the coffee pods? They have a filter on the bottom. Maybe if I cleaned then out and let them dry?
jean permalink
I just bought this machine. The Starbucks guy said they use a very fine grind in their pods. This could be the "flavor" problem some are having. Since I am not a coffee lover and bought this for guests, after my party I will deconstruct an unused pod and see how to save $$$. Thanks
iql permalink
This is an awesome tips as my verismo machine just arrived yesterday. have you tried using the verona pods and reuse it again? bottom of the pods, there's a hole and sort of like a white filter. if i want to reuse it..should i
1. just do the same method as you did?
2. do i need to cover the bottom hole as the original it has a small sticker sealed on it?
3. do i need to remove the white filter in the bottom of the pods?
Thank you! x
Brandi, what a great idea for refilling the Verismo pods using foil or sticky wrap. I bought my niece a Verismo brewer for Christmas as an impulse buy and am furious that the pods are not a universal size like the k-cup and Starbucks does not make a refillable pod like the ones available at Walmart or other stores for around $5.00. If it doesn't work well, I'll just keep badgering the folks at Starbucks until they do what's right and make a refillable pod. It's ridiculous to be able to buy a pack of 16 Starbucks k-pods at a supermarket or at Walmart for $10 versus a pack of 12 Starbucks Verismo pods for $12. Meanwhile, I tell everyone I know or meet, friends and strangers alike, NOT to buy the Verismo until a refillable pod becomes available.
Thanks for your great idea!
Jamie permalink
Check out YouTube vid that explains how to do the same thing only with CBTL pods. They come with two filters, one top one bottom, this seems to permit one to use more espresso hence a stronger drink. Search for how to reuse.espresso capsules. It's by user withlove…. seems like a better mousetrap due to extra filter. Decreases likelihood of pod opening up inside machine, makes better stronger espresso.
Den Standiford, I would be interested to hear back from you with a brand name for the reusable pods you claim to have seen at Bed Bath & Beyond. I looked at ALL of the pods they sell on their website, and none appear to be Verismo-compatible. It would be ideal to have someone make reusable pods for the Verismo, but no one does, and the technology described here on this blog is the best solution I've seen yet. I don't think Starbucks really cares what any of us demand, and frankly, my hunch is that they are soon going to abandon the entire Verismo market, anyway. No one wants a machine that doesn't use K-cups, like every single other machine on the market! Anyway, if you could tell us EXACTLY what we are looking for at BB&B, the brand name at least, that would be really helpful!
Julie Liranzo permalink
Came home from work& MY HUSBAND had replaced our broken coffee maker with the Verisimo, the fam had already tried 3 apeice and with my 2 that was an frigin 8 dollars! FGI and you saved the day, super simple and now it won't be returned – Thank-you "you're welcome"
Rhoda permalink
Thank you, I've been scanning the web for months looking for a refillable pod, now I know, they don't make one. What a disappointment! I'll try your solution temporarily, but I agree with Amy, I won't be suggesting this product to anyone else until they come out with a refillable pod. I believe in protecting the environment any way I can and throwing away 2-3 of these a day is plain stupid!

Physical Therapy Techniques for a Bulging Disc
Have you recently reached forward and felt pain in your back? Did this pain move from your back to down your leg? If so, you may have a bulging disk.
In this video, you'll learn some techniques for relieving the pain of this condition. Since bulging discs often result from a flexion of the spine, sometimes extensions can be effective in correcting the problem. This means if reaching forward caused your pain, moving backward may help relieve it. This video shows you one exercise to try.
For help with bulging disks, contact Garden State Pain Management at (888) 481-6521. With 15 years of experience treating a variety of acute and chronic back pain, we can help you to find the right treatments for you.

En español | As if normal stress on the job weren't enough, we often have to deal with troublesome co-workers and bosses.
A recent survey by the global staffing firm Robert Half International found that about one-third of workers have to routinely deal with rude and unprofessional colleagues.
Personally, I'm shocked that figure isn't higher. For all the talk about organizational teamwork and collaboration, complaints about difficult people at work routinely dominate conversations at home and at the watercooler.
Sometimes these troublesome people are just an irritation and distraction; however, if the behavior is extreme and chronically upsetting, it can actually interfere with your ability to do your work well. Sometimes the behavior can even cause people to quit their jobs to escape the stress and aggravation. This is especially true if the troublesome person is the boss. You've encountered these people:
- The Whiner
- The Interrupter
- The Gossip
- The Know-It-All
- The Slacker
- The Brown-Noser
So what can you do? Don't let yourself be a victim of co-workers' and colleagues' damaging behavior. Understand and confront the situation with professionalism and integrity. You can tolerate the behavior or do something about it.
Consider these quick fixes for the common problem personas:
Have a Plan of Action
Research has confirmed that people identified as "troublesome" by co-workers are seldom fully aware of the consequences of their behaviors. Now there's a surprise! It's much easier to believe that these people are deliberately being disruptive and unpleasant.
Professor Mitchell Kusy of Antioch University interviewed 500 managers and supervisors who had been identified as "troublesome" by their subordinates. With a few exceptions, these 500 bosses were surprised, and sometimes actually shocked, to learn of the workers' opinions.
Julie Jansen, author of You Want Me to Work With Who?, confirms these general findings. So if we start with the premise that "Generally, troublesome people aren't fully aware of their effect on others," we can lay out a plan of action for dealing with them.
An effective plan of action includes these steps:
1. Define the Situation: Very specifically describe the problematic behavior to yourself. Is it directed at you only, or at a group of people? How is the behavior affecting you and your work? Is it important enough to do something about?
2. Are You Contributing? Objectively and honestly ask yourself if you're contributing to the troublesome situation with your reactions and behaviors. Are you really an "innocent bystander," or could you be part of the problem? You may want to ask the opinion of a trusted and objective co-worker.
3. Don't Personalize: It's only natural to respond in an emotional and personal fashion to a troublesome person. However, don't make matters worse by personalizing the behavior as an insult or attack on you.
4. Reflect and Try to Understand: It may be helpful if you learned more about the bothersome co-worker's personal and work situation. His behavior could feel a little less troubling if you understood more about his situation and perspective.
5. Be Dignified and Professional: Regardless of how you intend to respond to the troublesome person, be courteous, sincere, forthright, dignified, and professional. Get your emotions under control, and focus on improving work relationships and your performance.
6. Direct Confrontation: Schedule time with the troublesome co-worker. Politely and discreetly share with him or her what you are experiencing and feeling. Give the colleague a chance to absorb your comments. Make it clear you want only to improve your working relationship. Be prepared for some defensiveness, and be prepared to own up to your contribution to any difficulties. The keys here are sincerity and honesty.

By gabe | Gabe's Declaration of Principles July 9, 2008 at 3:21AM
Not only is Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Crystal Skull the WORST film of this admittedly young millennium--worse even than the Happening--now it turns out that the mystical crystal skulls upon which portions of the script are based are fakes! I'm shocked...shocked!
Oh.Yeah, I do a Doors show, you'd be really impressed, in fact, it goes a little like this...
Art of deception: Crystal skulls in British, US museums were fakes
PARIS (AFP) - How about this for the next installment of the Indy franchise: "Indiana Jones and the Dodgy Antiques Dealer"?
Less than three months after the Quai Branly Museum in Paris discovered that a crystal skull once proclaimed as a mystical Aztec masterpiece was a fake, it is now the turn of the British Museum and the Smithsonian Institution to find they were victims of skull-duggery.
Scientists from those two prestigious institutions on Wednesday said their crystal skulls were cut, honed and polished by tools of the industrial age, not by Mesoamerican craftsmen of yore.
So...never mind that George Lucas is systematically dismantling his legacy one brick at a time, and in the process, ruining so many of my fond childhood movie-going memories...
Lego my Ego!
...the real question remains, who are the geniuses at these museums who mistake stray movie props for mystical Aztec masterpieces? Did none of them see Mystery Men?
Hey Now You're An All-Star!

New Naples art and antique show makes strong first impression
NAPLES - The organizer of the first Naples Art, Antique & Jewelry Show said last weekend's success suggests there's plenty of room for his show in the Naples marketplace.
The show drew more than 10,000 people, a surprisingly high number for a first attempt, said organizer Scott Diament, president and CEO of the Palm Beach Show Group.
"The attendance exceeded any expectations we had," said Diament. "I think people appreciated us bringing the event that close to where they are, within the city of Naples."
The show was the first of two art and antique shows scheduled for this month.
Bonita Springs organizer David Lester will hold his second Naples International Art & Antique Fair at the Naples International Pavilion on Immokalee Road next weekend, from Feb. 23 to 28.
Diament said his show's location, closer to downtown, helped him carve out a niche in the market.
The four-day event was held in a 40,000-square-foot, climate-controlled tent set up on an 11-acre piece of vacant land at 201 Goodlette-Frank Road South.
Almost 70 exhibitors sold a wide variety of art and antiquities, including jewelry, furniture, sculpture, paintings and porcelain during the show.
Diament said valets parked more than 450 cars on opening night.
"Our ticket sales are usually not very high," he said. "We usually mail out a lot of the tickets to certain people we think will be interested. But we sold 80 percent of the tickets that we usually sell for the Palm Beach show. That told us that Naples is what we call an under-served market."
Diament's larger Palm Beach show, being held this weekend, has operated for the past nine years and features about 180 exhibitors, he said.
Diament said vendors at the Naples show were pleased. Many of them have rented booths at his Palm Beach event, as well.
"Whether they sold 10 times their booth rent or didn't even make their rent, they saw that Naples is the place to be for this kind of show," he said. "The friendly sophistication of the Naples marketplace surprised some of them."
Diament said he didn't see much difference in the types of items that sold well in Naples, in comparison to other shows.
"Paintings sold, jewelry sold, antiquities sold. I think it was pretty much the same items that sell in Palm Beach," he said. "We did have one vendor offering antique American wicker furniture and I think he sold his whole booth."
Michael Teller of TK Asian Antiquities said a rare 500-year-old book with gold pages and inscribed with sutras was one of his top sales during the show.
Teller, based in Williamsburg, Va., said he was impressed by the crowd's knowledge and taste.
"We met some of the most interesting people we have ever met," he said. "I spent nine hours with one couple and four hours with another couple. Naples has proven itself in interest and intellect."
Diament said he spent five years looking for the right location in Naples and organizing the show.
"The comments I got and the feeling I got from the crowd was that they had never attended an event quite like this in Naples," he said. "I felt really good about that. We'll come back."

Kinodynamic Non-Holonomic Motion Planning for UAVs: A Minimum Energy Approach
, Master Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering, McGill
In recent years unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained popularity for various applications, both civilian and military. As technology advanced, UAVs became cheaper, lighter and more readily available than their manned versions. Due to limited aircraft size and load carrying capabilities, battery capacity substantially reduces flight endurance. Therefore, generating flight paths for a UAV which take into account the dynamics of the vehicle, while at the same time minimizing the energy requirements is a worthwhile avenue to pursue. This seminar presents the minimum energy affine quadratic regulator (MEAQR) RRT* - an asymptotically optimal sampling-based motion planning algorithm for non-linear, non-holonomic, under-powered and under-actuated systems in a-priori known and static environments. The generated trajectory connects the initial and goal positions with a collision-free, dynamically feasible trajectory that adheres to the magnitude and bandwidth constraints of actuation, while minimizing energy consumption.
The algorithm is demonstrated on two example systems (1) a simple 2D pendulum with actuation constraints and (2) a quadrotor described by a 13-dimensional state-space model. In addition, an environment modeling procedure is designed, implemented and tested for a-priori map building required in order to test the algorithm on a real life environment.

The instant invention is a paging device which couples to a cellular telephone allowing independent use of the cellular telephone and the paging unit. The paging unit includes a speaker for converting received signals into a dial tone for placement against either a conventional land based telephone or a cellular telephone for automatically redialing of numbers received by the paging unit. The paging unit can be coupled to a compatible cellular telephone wherein the pager and telephone can be carried as a single unit allowing screening of incoming calls and an automatic callback of received paged calls.
1. A combination cellular telephone and pager apparatus comprising:
a portable cellular telephone having a display screen, a send button, an audio input and output, a key pad cover having a width and a longitudinal length with a first end and a second end, said second end pivotally coupled to said telephone, said key pad cover having an inner and an outer surface with a first and second parallel spaced apart sidewalls formed perpendicular to said inner surface, each sidewall having an inwardly facing holding tab formed along a length thereof forming a U-shaped cavity, said key pad cover further including a microphone tunnel disposed along said longitudinal length, said tunnel joining said first end and said second end of said pad cover, said second end disposed over said audio input whereby a user's voice can pass uninhibited through said tunnel from said first end to said second end for receipt by said audio input;
a pager means for receiving paging signals, each signal having a telephone number with at least one digit, said pager means including a memory means for storing the received paging signals and a means for providing an indication when a paging signal has been received, said pager means being responsive to each said paging signal for reading out the received paging signal on said display screen upon recalling from said memory means, said pager means having an upper surface and a bottom surface whereby said pager means is releasably coupled to said key pad cover by insertion of said pager means into said cavity wherein said upper surface of said pager means is positioned against said inner surface of said key pad cover and said bottom surface of said pager means frictionally engages said inwardly facing holding tabs; and
a means for generating an audio tone corresponding to each digit of a received telephone number;
wherein said releasable coupling facilitates transfer of said audio tones to said audio input of said cellular telephone.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said means for generating an audio tone includes a speaker juxtapositioned to said audio input of said telephone thereby directing said generated audio tones through said speaker to said audio input.
The present invention relates to cellular telephones and paging devices, and in particular to a portable cellular telephone with a detachable pager.
The advent of the cellular telephone has provided the consuming public with an enhanced mobility providing a means for remaining in constant communication with friends or business associates. However, despite the popularity of two-way wireless communication as provided by the cellular telephone, a radio frequency receiving unit commonly referred to as a pager remains the most prominent one-way wireless communicator for informing the carrier of the pager that they are being sought out for purposes of communication. The pager has numerous advantages including low cost, compactness, and screening ability that make it the most widely accepted form of communication. Typically the holder of a paging unit would receive a communication directly wherein the paging unit would provide an audio signal that a paging signal has been received, further providing a digital readout of the received message.
A primary advantage of the pager is its ability to allow the holder to screen calls and return them when convenient. For instance, a person attending a meeting could turn the audio sound of the pager off wherein a call could still be received and the holder could review messages at a later time. Improvements to the pager allow many such devices to vibrate so as to signal the holder that a call has been received, thus eliminating the disturbance of an audio signal.
A problem with cellular telephones is their limited battery life requiring recharging approximately every twelve hours. Actual life of the battery is dependant upon how many times the phone is used, for constant use could cause the battery to drain within hours. Alternatively, a major advantage to the pager is its ability to operate in a constant on position for periods exceeding one year.
Further, the cellular telephone requires the user to answer the phone in order to determine who is calling. Thus, the user is charged a fee for the privilege of answering any call, even a wrong call. Should the user simply wait to tell the caller that it is an inappropriate time to talk, the user is still charged a fee. All of which the above consumes valuable battery time.
Thus, combinations of the pager and cellular telephone satisfy numerous situations and it is not uncommon for a telephone company to sell both a pager and a cellular telephone. The consumer would carry both devices and should they receive notice of a call on the pager, they may immediately return the call if deemed important or wait until later if more convenient. The pager operates to screen incoming calls and saves on battery recharging. Both the telephone and the pager can be attached to the consumer's belt.
However, most consumers do not care to dangle multiple electronic devices off of their belt or add to the confines of a purse. Yet what remains is the need for combination pager and cellular telephone.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,148,473 assigned to Motorola discloses a combination pager and cellular telephone. However, the circuitry of the pager is incorporated into the circuitry of two devices wherein a page can be received and automatically transferred to the cellular phone for redialing without the need for re-inputting the received number. The cellular telephone/pager combination utilizes the same antenna and rechargeable battery. Thus, the problem with the device is that the cellular telephone must be carried constantly even if only the paging portion is utilized. For example, one of the major benefits of a pager is its compact size that allows it to be carried in most any instance such as when a consumer is exercising. By use of the Motorola device the individual would have to carry the combination telephone and pager which is cumbersome and not always necessary for the particular response sought.
Thus, what is need in the art is a cellular telephone and pager combination that operates in combination or allows an individual to detach the pager for use in its conventional manner, as well as the telephone to be used in its conventional manner.
The instant invention combines the benefits of a cellular telephone and pager yet maintains separate operation when necessary. A preferred embodiment of the instant invention discloses a cellular telephone having a key pad cover with an integrated pager which is either pivotally connected or slidably attached to the telephone. The telephone can still be used in its ordinary fashion by exposing the key pad by movement of the cover. Holes through the cover allow voice passage through the pager for pick up by cellular telephone microphone.
Unlike the known prior art, the instant invention does not combine the circuitry of pager with the telephone, and most importantly maintains a separate battery source. Thus, should the battery be exhausted in the cellular telephone the pager remains operable and available for receipt of incoming messages. More importantly, the paging mechanism can be detached from the cellular telephone so as to be carried in a conventional manner such as attachment to a belt or other clothing. When a page is received, the pager can be used in its ordinary manner or attached to the cellular phone wherein an integrated speaker allows for tone transfer of the received page directly to the microphone of the telephone. The tone transfer allows the pager to be used on a conventional land base telephone system.
When it, is desirable to carry the telephone and pager as a combined unit, the pager is attached directly to the phone in such a manner so as to provide protection from accidental contact with the key pad or in an alternative embodiment the pager fits within a slot to conceal the pager. As a combined unit, only a single electronic device need be carried providing the user with control over incoming calls by allowing selectivity over returning calls and saving telephone battery strength for important calls.
In operation, the listed number of the telephone user would be the pager number thus eliminating the cost associated with receiving incoming calls. The pager allows the user to depress a recall button to view a received page and automatically redial the number by depression of a dial button which translates the displayed number into an audio tone by means of conventional tone generation circuitry. This is performed by integration of a speaker within the paging device available to transmit a tone signal to the microphone pick up for transfer between the pager and telephone. Thus, the telephone can be in the off position wherein all calls are received by the pager device. When a page is received, the telephone can be turned on so as to make an outgoing call.
The pager is functional both in combination and separate from the telephone. Once the pager is in its respective compartment on the cellular telephone, the user will be able to review the number via a display screen. As with a conventional pager, the user will be able to scroll through the numbers contained on the pager. Once the desired number is displayed on the screen, the user need simply depress a send button to dial the number.
Thus, an objective of the instant invention is to provide an apparatus having the independent benefits of a cellular telephone and paging device yet eliminate the need for carrying two separate electronic devices.
Yet another objective of the instant invention is to provide a redialing mechanism by teaching a paging device having an integrated speaker for sending touch tones in relation to the received page signal.
Yet another objective of the instant invention is to teach the use of a pager in combination with a telephone to extend the time between recharging and replacement of the telephone battery yet allow the holder of the cellular phone to be reached.
Another objective of the instant invention is to provide a cover for the key pad of a cellular telephone to prevent accidental depression of the keys, especially when the telephone is in use.
Yet still another objective of the instant invention is to allow the consumer to purchase either a cellular telephone or pager independently, allowing the consumer to defer a portion of the electronic purchase yet eventually receive the benefits of a pager and telephone.
Other objectives and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objectives and features thereof.
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view of a cellular telephone with a paging unit available for sliding over a key pad of the telephone;
FIG. 2 is a pictorial view of a cellular telephone with a pager unit pivotally attached to one end of the telephone;
FIG. 3 is a pictorial view of a cellular telephone with a paging unit shown available for sliding into a key pad cover pivotally attached to one end of the telephone; and
FIG. 4 is a pictorial view of a cellular telephone with a paging unit inserted and shown available for sliding into a slot located at one end of the telephone.
Although the invention has been described in terms of various embodiments, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that further modifications, rearrangements and substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the claims appended hereto.
Now referring to FIG. 1 illustrated is a conventional cellular telephone 10 having incorporated the teachings of the instant invention. The telephone is defined by a numerical key pad 12, display screen 14, on-off power switch 16, recall switch 17, send switch 18, and end switch 19. Typical operation of the telephone requires the power switch 16 to be activated which couples a rechargeable battery power source to the telephone circuitry wherein the key pad 12 allows the user to input a telephone number which is verified on the display screen 14. Once the number has been keyed into the phone, the user is required to depresses the send button 18 to complete the coupling to a relay station for connection of the call. As is well known to those skilled in the art, the cellular phone transmits in high speed digital fashion, the phone number information for ultimate receipt by the telephone office to permit interconnection with the telephone network and to a desired party. Once the call is complete, audio connection between the user and desired party is provided for full duplex operation wherein audio output is provided through a speaker located beneath speaker screen 22. Audio input is made through a microphone pickup 24 placed at the bottom of the key pad panel at a position near the users mouth.
The pager 32 assimilates a conventional pager apparatus having basic display and operating functions including a display screen 36, recall button 38, and lock button 40. The shape of the pager 32 is substantially rectangular having a first 33 and second 35 parallel spaced apart sidewalls which depend beneath the bottom surface of the pager 32 a fixed distance. The first sidewall 33 includes a lower edge with an inwardly facing insertion tab 42 forming a mirror image of the second sidewall 35 having a lower edge with inwardly facing insertion tab 44. On each side of the telephone 10 is a slot 46 and 48 extending along a length of the key pad. The pager apparatus 32 can be slidably attached to the telephone 10 by insertion of tab 42 into slot 48 and tab 44 into slot 46 wherein the lower surface of the pager 32 is placed in a fixed position over the key pad 12 to operate as a cover preventing accidental depression of the key pad.
It should be noted that the key pad 12 and key pad surface 26 are disposed in a first plane that is lowered a fixed distance from the display surface 30. The key pad surface 26 allows placement of the cover/pager combination 32 in position over the key pad surface 26 to provide a uniform surface projecting only the critical function keys. In this mode, a call received can be redialed without removal of the pager.
With the pager 32 coupled to the telephone 10, when a page is received it can be displayed on the display screen 36 or stored in the memory for later recall. Upon demand the user would display the number and if they choose to call the number set forth on the display, redial the number by depressing the Dial switch 50 will initiate a series of audio tones corresponding to the displayed numbers through a speaker 51 for pick up by the telephone 10. The speaker 51 (shown in fathom) would line up with and be oriented towards the microphone pick-up 24 of the telephone 10. Thus, the return of a pager signal via the cellular telephone could be expedited upon receipt by first turning on the power switch 16, depressing the recall button to paginate through the various calls received, and depressing the dial button so wherein the tones would be generated by the pager unit into the microphone pick-up 24 wherein the send switch 18 completes the call connection. Once the call has been made and connection completed, the user can speak into holes 52 which are placed directly over the microphone pickup, and listen to audio output through speaker screen 22.
In this mode the pager operates to bypass the need for a keypad thereby preventing the accidental depression of the key pad 12, and set forth an aesthetically pleasing cellular telephone by providing surface area 34 available for placement of logos or the like indicia.
Should the cellular telephone 10 be turned off, the paging device 32 can be removed from the telephone by sliding the pager off the engagement slots 46 and 48 wherein the pager can be used in its conventional fashion for simple receipt of incoming telephone calls. As with a conventional pager, the recall button 38 provides recall of multiple pages. Placement of the paging device 32 over the mouthpiece of a conventional land based telephone provides the pager with the ability for redialing over the telephone system. Lock 40 prevents accidental removal of recalled numbers until the necessary engagement time.
Now referring to FIG. 2 shown is an alternative embodiment of the instant invention setting forth a conventional cellular telephone 100 with a numerical key pad 102 and display screen 104. In this embodiment the paging device 106 is pivotally coupled 108 to the base 110 of the cellular telephone wherein the paging device 106 can be rotated over the numerical key pad 102 allowing the upper surface 112 of the telephone to be in the same plane as the upper surface 114 of the pager device when in the closed position. In this embodiment the cellular telephone can be used in its conventional manner wherein audio sound can be listened to through speaker screen 116 and audio sounds output through a microphone pick up similar to the location shown in FIG. 1 numeral 24 and extended by hole 118 located on the end surface 120 of the pager device 106. The pager device has a display screen 122 which allows the user to view incoming messages as well as a recall button 124, a lock button 126 and a dial button 128 all used in a similar fashion as the first embodiment. Should the telephone 100 be unnecessary for a particular use, the pager 106 can be detached from the telephone by opening the cover and then moving the pager to a side thus dislodging it from the pivot point 108.
When a page is received the pager will be either inside or outside of the cellular phone. If the pager is outside the cellular phone, the user can ignore the page until such time that the user acknowledges that a page has been received by either silencing the pager or allowing it to time out wherein a buzzing or tone noise would be discontinued. Once the user acknowledges the page, they can use the audio tone feature to return the page on a conventional telephone, not necessarily the compatible cellular phone. The pager is placed against the speaker of the telephone and by depressing the dial button, the pager will generate audio tones in direct relation to the telephone number. This eliminates the need for manually entering the phone number onto a conventional telephone as well as the compatible cellular telephone.
Should the pager be placed inside the pager compartment of the compatible cellular telephone, the user can again ignore the page when an incoming call is received as the pager has its own battery supply and thus will not drain the telephone's power pack. Further, if placement of the pager in the respective compartment of the cellular phone has occurred and an acknowledgement of the page is desired, this can be done by pressing the recall pager button which will scroll through the numbers accumulated within the pager's memory until the desired number has been located wherein the dial button can be depressed to obtain the necessary telephone audio tones corresponding to the recalled number.
An alternative embodiment is illustrated by FIG. 3 wherein the key pad cover 156 is permanently mounted to the base 158 of the telephone along pivot point 160. As such, the telephone can be used in its ordinary manner wherein the key pad cover 156 is flipped open and a microphone tunnel 162 embedded into the inner side surface 164 of the key pad. In this embodiment, pager 170 is provided which slips within the U-shaped cavity formed by the inner surface 164 having uprights 172 and 174 with inner cover tabs 176 and 178 respectively. In operation the engagement tabs 176 and 178 rest upon the surface 180 of the pager unit 170, frictionally securing the pager within the cavity and juxtapositioning the pager against side surface 164. As described in the previous embodiments, the pager includes a numerical display screen 182 together with a recall button 184, a lock button 186 and a dial button 188. The pager has its own power supply and can be used in a manner typically taught by the prior art. However, in this embodiment should the user desire to use or store the pager within the telephone device the user simply slides the pager 170 into the U-shaped opening securing the pager in the face wherein the key pad cover 156 may still be rotated into a closed position thereby concealing the pager. If a call is received and the user believes he would like to redial the number, the user simply depresses the dial switch 188 wherein a sound would be generated from speaker holes 190 in correspondence to the digital audio tones uniformly accepted with each digital number. The user can continue his conversation by listening through speaker screens 192 and speaking through microphone extension 162.
Now referring to FIG. 4 yet another embodiment of the instant invention is set forth wherein cellular telephone 200 includes numerical key pad 202 with function keys 204 displayed along a side surface 206 of the telephone. Display screen 208 with speaker cover 210 is located at an upper portion of the phone and microphone pick up 212 is placed along the bottom end of the phone. The cellular telephone 200 includes a cavity 224 disposed along the bottom 214 available for insertion of a pager unit 216 having the operating switches and display on one end. The pager 216 includes display 218, recall button 219 and sound button 222. In this embodiment the pager 216 can be carried in a conventional manner or inserted into the cavity 224 where its operation is similar to the aforementioned pager/telephone combinations. The combination telephone and pager works equally well with transportable telephones or fixed phones placed within a vehicle and deemed within the scope of this invention.
It is to be understood that while I have illustrated and described certain forms of the invention, it is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts herein described and shown. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification.

President Barack Obama addressed Syria during a pool spray scheduled shortly after 2:15 p.m. ET on Friday, calling Syria's chemical weapons attack "a challenge to the world."
The president said he was still considering a "limited, narrow act" against the county's regime but had not made any decisions. "We have consulted with allies. We have consulted with Congress," he said.
The president's remarks, which were delivered at a pool spray with President Toomas Hendrik Ilves of Estonia, Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania, and President Andris Berzinš of Latvia, came shortly after Secretary of State John Kerry described the administration's intelligence evidence on the chemical weapons attack.
My colleague Reid Epstein has the full report at 44.

Harvard Voices
"Harvard Voices" is a collection of excerpts from famous speeches given at Harvard University over the past 100 years. These voices represent Harvard's collective memory and continuing dialogue of ideas. The dialogue suggests the best of Harvard speaking to itself and to the world, and the best of the world speaking to Harvard.
If there is a unifying theme, it is the sheer diversity of these articulate and eloquent voices. They speak to one another through questions, creative tensions, collaborations, and contradictions. And they even provide humor.
To listen to these historic voices, visit our Harvard Voices playlist on Soundcloud.
Harvard Voices is also available on iTunes U. Click the "View in iTunes" button beneath the "Harvard Voices" logo and your computer will launch the iTunes software and take you directly to the place where you can down load the individual tracks or the entire collection to your computer and then share them with your iPod, iPhone or iPad. If you are reading this on a iOS device, simply click the link and your iTunes store will open to the "Harvard Voices" collection and you can download directly from there.
Selected transcripts from Harvard Voices
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1936, Harvard's 300th)
It is the part of Harvard and America to stand for the freedom of the human mind, and to carry the torch of truth.
Samuel Eliot Morison (1936, Harvard's 300th)
And so, with what seems to us like incredible optimism, this colony of 12,000 people, 2,500 miles from the nearest university, established a college to advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity.
Winston Churchill (1943)
I know of no reason for supposing that the heaviest sacrifices in life and blood do not lie before the British and American Armed Services. When you find yourselves alongside of our sailors and soldiers in the battlefields and the combats of 1943 and 1944, you will feel that we are your worthy brothers in arms, and you will know that we shall never tire nor weaken but march with you into any corner of the world that may be necessary to establish the reign of justice and of law among men.
George C. Marshall (1947)
It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos.
T.S. Eliot (1947)
The winter evening settles down with smell of steaks in passageways. 6 o'clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps the grimy scraps of withered leaves about your feet.
e.e. cummings (early 1950s)
Officially, Harvard presented me with a smattering of languages and sciences; with a glimpse of Homer and a more-than glimpse of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes; and a deep glance at Dante and Shakespeare. Unofficially, she gave me my first taste of independence and the truest friends any man will ever enjoy.
Robert Frost (early 1950s)
The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
John F. Kennedy (1956)
If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little place in which to live on this Commencement day in 1956.
W.E.B. Dubois (early 1960s)
Harvard was in an exceptional state of being at that time. .. the men who had come in the last few years wanted it to be more of a national institution, and they therefore offered scholarships…that landed me at Harvard, at the time of great intellectual activity, a new freedom of thought and action.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1962)
…Non-cooperation with evil, as Thoreau would say, is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good, and so throw us in jail and we will still love you.
Leonard Bernstein (1973)
The time back in 1937 when I first heard Aaron Copeland's piano variations, I fell in love with the music, it seemed so fierce and poetic and utterly new. [plays notes]. This music opened up new worlds of musical possibilities to me, and I wrote a raving report on it for my aesthetics course.
Professors Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg (1970s)
Glashow: …Almost precisely 3.1 gEV, and thus they claimed they had discovered a new particle which they called J. And this is the thing which is driving us all crazy: This new particle – unpredicted, beautiful new.
Weinberg: We now have come to realize that we have at hand a mathematical framework for understanding all of the particles of nature and all of their interactions and that theory is called the quantum theory of fields.
Barbara Jordan (1977)
What the people want is very simple. They want an America as good as its promise.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1978)(read by Gleb Sidorkin)
A society which is based on the letter of the law and never reaches any higher is taking very scarce advantage of the high level of human possibilities.
Mother Teresa (1982)
I have no gold and silver to give to the American people, but I give my sisters, and I hope together with them you will go in search, like Mary, go in haste to find the poor. And if you find them, if you come to know them, you will love them, and if you love them, you will do something for them.
Seamus Heaney (1986)
… Here, imagine
A spirit moves, John Harvard walks the yard,
The books stand open and the gates unbarred.
Colin Powell (1993 Commencement)
We will be judged kindly if we renew the values of our communities—values of service, of family, of compassion, of wisdom. We can't aspire to greatness unless we begin with a foundation as well of values.
Vaclav Havel (1995 Commencement)
A better alternative for the future of humanity clearly lies in imbuing our civilization with a spiritual dimension.
Madeleine Albright (1997 Commencement)
There is no certain roadmap to success, either for individuals or for generations. Ultimately, it is a matter of judgment, a question of choice. In making that choice, let us remember that there is not a page of American history of which we are proud that was authored by a chronic complainer or prophet of despair. We are doers.
Nelson Mandela (1998 Special Convocation)
We constantly need to remind ourselves that the freedoms which democracy bring will remain empty shells if they are not accompanied by real and tangible improvements in the material lives of the millions of ordinary citizens of those countries.
Alan Greenspan (1999 Commencement)
You have already made the best investment there is: education. A crucial challenge of education is to transform skills and intelligence into wisdom, into a process of thinking capable of forming truly new insights.
John Lithgow (2005 Commencement)
Be creative. Be useful. Be practical. Be generous. Simple as that.
Bill Gates (2007 Commencement)
What I remember above all about Harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and intelligence. It could be exhilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always challenging.
J.K. Rowling (2008 Commencement)
We do not need magic to change the world; we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.
Al Gore (2008 Sustainability Event)
We are one people living on one planet. We have a very few short years within which to make a dramatic change in the way we organize and conduct global civilization.
Ted Kennedy (2008 Special Convocation)
And for all my years in public life, I have believed that America must sail toward the shores of liberty and justice for all. No, there is no end to that journey, only the next great voyage. We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make.

Martini Rox: Game Savvy Late NightWritten by Martini Rox | | email@example.com
"We're a bunch of people who think so much of themselves, but don't really think very much of themselves." This is the consensus of Andre Savage as he casually talks about the lack of pride in Toledo natives. It is clearly an issue he is passionate about changing, starting with he and his business partners at S&S Management and Consulting.
Savage and S&S have a vision for "Game Savvy Late Night" and it involves the transition from the sports show "Game Savvy," The show the players watch, to "Game Savvy Late Night," the show Northwest Ohio (and beyond) watches. As it enters its second season, "GSLN" is moving in a new direction. Whereas sports clips dominated its first year of existence; Savage has a new sports show in the works and can now concentrate on turning "GSLN" into the full-service late night talk show it was meant to be. Airing at 1 a.m. after "Saturday Night Live" on WNWO 24 and 624HD puts it directly in the view of his target audience.
Toledo provides the backdrop for the show, which has become known for showcasing diverse music talent and subject matter. Taping takes place in various locations, from clubs like Omni and Zodiac to events like the Pistons vs. The Wizards game at the Huntington Center. Mixing national and local news, views and interviews, "GSLN" also offers artists the opportunity to perform for their city on television — a feature that has become a staple in "Game Savvy Late Night" programming. Savage called to arms a chosen few in early February to work with sponsorship, bookings and comedic writing. The show has endured the ups and downs of starting out but is still moving forward. "GSLN" comes complete with house band The JAMM, which provides sounds of R&B; Soul, Funk, Blues and Jazz live throughout the show and often accompanies the performers. Past featured performers include Chief Alone, Corey Analog, Megan Yasu, U.G.E. artists and bands Paris, Resonant Soul and Stonehouse, to name a few.
The shows creator behind the scenes and in front of the camera is visionary Savage, a Toledo native who insists the show is more about the weekly features than it is about him. Savage acknowledges the professionals in the city and believes the opportunity to help or work with them is beneficial to everyone involved. Savage has worked in television locally and in Atlanta. When he returned to Toledo he worked toward his goal of creating his own shows by starting local and eventually expanding to a cable network like TVONE. He also thought it important to emphasize that regardless of where you are educated, bringing knowledge back to your city is not only beneficial, but necessary.
He states about his staff, "The common denominator with most of us is we've been somewhere else. We elect to be here to try to lift our city up instead of running away to get on someone else's squad. We're just as good at all of this as anybody from anywhere!"

Coligny Beach
- Type: Beaches
- Time to Spend: 2 hours to Half Day
|Overall Rating:
|About these ratings
Coligny remains one of the most crowded and most popular beaches on Hilton Head Island because of its wealth of facilities (a nearby shopping center, plenty of food options, and clean bathrooms and showers) but also because the sand is so nice. It's fairly hard-packed, making it good for sitting, of course, but also for bike riding.
We have to warn you of a few drawbacks, though. More than one traveler recounts being stung by the jellyfish in the (occasionally) murky water. And as we mentioned, Coligny can get crowded. For this reason, a Yelp.com sunbather suggests you visit in the morning. "When we left, the parking lot was a MADHOUSE and traffic heading in was ridiculous," she writes. "Glad we made it there early, even if it was for such a short visit!" If you want a more tranquil option with more swimmable waters, consider Hilton Head's Alder Lane.
You can visit Coligny Beach every day between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. It sits on the Coligny Circle, across from the Coligny Plaza shopping area. Access is free, but the public parking lot costs $4 per day ($2 if you arrive after 2 p.m.).

Kevin Stadler's possible solution to anchoring? Go left-handed! Spotted at TPC R. Highlands w/ Rife General putter http://t.co/McKmAXHMGv— Mike Johnson (@EMichaelGW) June 17, 2014
Stadler said he'd need to get more comfortable with whatever new technique he implements before making a switch, and that he'd need to spend time "retraining his eyes" to see the hole from a new angle.
But it's not a process Stadler necessarily frets. On the contrary: in some ways, he actually finds the whole thing quite liberating.
"I get those 'happy hands' when I putt," Stadler said. "When I setup left-handed, I don't know what it is, I just feel freer."
