Wow! that was a really good explanation. So, #2, bad idea, on the voltage divider on the shift register power source, I'll look seeing if I can fix that with a VR circuit.
Resistors and caps came in. I can put some filtercaps on my shifters now.
I may pair up some 100 ohm resistors to put on my 3.3v test RGB leds too to test the 3.3v have something setup like the 3rd example.
I may also be able to rig up the cube similar to the 1st example, I have a 7 piggybacked 74hc595 shift tower soldered up for the cube.
but that still has to wait for me to take care of other business first

I've been experimenting, before wiring anything up to the cube. I had a rig setup for running 8 RGB LEDs on 3.3v, but I decided to undo that, and set it up for 5 volts, because it wasnt working, and I wanted to start with something easier.
So, re-soldered it up with resistors (8 100 ohm on the red, and 150 ohm on the blue and green). I have the cathodes (the negative side) soldered to a wire, and the anodes soldered to resistors, that are soldered to 3 piggybacked 595's. I soldered up a few .1uf caps to where I hook the 5 volts up to the shift registers. I made a couple jumpers to power the 595s from the 5v and gnd pins on the uno, and a jumper from the cathode to the gnd on the shift registers.
No LEDs would light up. just to see if If the LEDs would light, i tried hooking up the 5v to the resistors, no luck, but in the process, I touched the cathode wire with the 5v wire, and some leds lit up. I took the ground wire off of the cathodes, and hooked 5v to it, and it seems to work fine (runs the shift pwm demo).
Im confused though. I double checked everything, and my LEDs seem backwards. The schematic shows pins 1,2,3 as cathode, but on all my RGB LEDs, you hook up 5v to that side, and ground on the other side to light them.
I double checked the datasheet online and the only odd thing I can find is the symbol for the LEDs looks funny, on the blue and green leds there is a symbol that looks similar to an LED next to the regular LED symbol.

Look at the pin numbers on the bottom right diagram (you can ignore the zener diodes). The have drawn the image as if it were from looking at the back.
If you then look at the top left diagram, the cathode is marked with a triangular notch.
The good news is that if you have in fact wired everything as common anode, it is a lot easier to control as you can now use the TLC5940's or any other LED current sink to drive them.

Oh, that was my first thought (that I had wired them common anode), but no matter what side you look at the part, the triangle bit is on the cathode, right? (topside vs upside down). The test unit I made was a 19 gauge wire soldered to the leads that are on the same side as the triangle.
I've checked all the LEDs I've setup, and they all seem to use the + on the side with the triangle, and none work with the - hooked up on the side with the triangle.
I wish I had some tlc chips to test it right now.
Im curious about the funny looking LED symbols in the diagram. Green and Blue look weird, they have a reversed looking diode on top of the regular diode. zener LED? I dont understand.
The LEDs are pretty bright, I think I will need to make tiny diffusers for the LEDs.

Interesting. That means that the diagram is wrong (the mark is the anode not the cathode).
The Zener diodes aren't LEDs. I am not sure why they are there, but I would guess for some sort of overvoltage protection?

You can see the little triangle corners all lined up with the heavy gauge wire. I have a few test setups like this and all of them have all of the cathodes (triangle sides) connected together.
I do have a set of 8 just like these, only with resistors, and they are running on 3 shift registers. I have them wired up rgbrgbrgbrgbrgbrgbrgbrgb, but after reading the code, I would like to have wired them up rrrrrrrrggggggggbbbbbbbb. Its running shiftpwm rgb demo.
I guess one of the benefits of using shift registers and resistors is when you have something goofy like this happen, shift registers will still work.

This is what im working with right now, its a test unit that is setup the same as the ShiftPWM example (even though the LEDs are marked otherwise.)
Im running the 8 RGB LEDs off the arduino, The power supply is via USB (using a usb phone charger, I think its 500ma)
it seems to me that I should be having power issues when its running all the LEDs at 100% (24 LEDs * 20ma =480m. Thats about 160ma per shift register, and about 1/2 amp on the arduino.
according to this site:
thats not really a problem? I also noticed that there is a picture of 16 RGB LEDs, which is what I will need to do for the RGB cube,
I do have the cube mounted on a case, I have to solder up 48 resistors, and 6 shift registers, which is going to be kinda messy.

This is the next test Im doing, its running the LEDs on a 3.3v power supply, and possibly running the arduino off the 12v that powers the 3.3v circuit, but probably running on the 5v from the usb, I dunno.
The one Im wiring up actually has 100 ohm resistors, I didnt have any 47 ohm resistors.
The wiring between the shift registers and LEDs looks crazy, but i think it will be easier to solder up.

Heres a video of the 3.3v with voltage dividers (like the 3.3v setup in the previous post:
As you can see, it didnt work right, it did make the LEDs light up, but It was pretty wrong.
Heres a video of the 5v test setup (it uses 8 RGB LEDs, 8 150 ohm resistors, 16 100 ohm resistors, and 3 shift registers.) In this video I also include the 3.3v setup, without the voltage dividers, it runs pretty good w/out the dividers, but It may be causing some kind of damage, i dunno.

Instead of soldering up a bunch of resistors, and shift registers, I did a little googling instead.
Check out what I found.
This guy built a 4x4x4 RGB cube using 64 LEDs, some wire, perf board, and a nano. No resistors or transistors or chips of any kind, just some wire, leds, board, and nano.
The way he solved the problem was like using geometry to solve a accounting problem.

Re: RGB SMT LED Cube, resistors, drivers, and shift registers.

I did a lot of soldering yesterday. I found some unused xmas lights that had wires in groups of 3, about the right lenght for my project. I cut, stripped, tinned, and soldered them onto the resistors that I had previously soldered onto the column wires on the cube. I ended up having to untwist the wires to move them through the case, and it ended up pretty ugly. I will probably end up replacing those wires, but they will work for now.
Before green wires:
After green wires:
The horror!
Soldering away...
Which brings us to here:
Now that I have the shift registers wired up to the ribbon cable (clock, latch, data, ground), and wired to the LEDs, I need to figure out how to source current to the common planes.
In my first cube, I used 20 pins, 4 pins sourced 5v (through 220 ohm resistor). I upgraded that cube to using 2 shift registers to control the sink, and sourced 5v via 4 pins through 220 ohms.
I recently upgraded that cube to 16 100 ohm resistors on the column(sink) pins, and removed the 4 220 ohm resistors on plane(source) pins.
In my RGB shiftpwm tests, I sourced 5v to the common pins via the 5v pin on the uno (Originally I had it from a 5v power supply, but later I moved it to the uno for portability).
It seems to me, each of those are drawing too much current through the arduino.
Im considering a few different approaches, I could add a shift register (this is what i had originally figured that i would do). using 4 bits to source the current, and having the other 4 for added features, like buttons? or sound?, I dunno really.
Then I realized that mixing those bits in with the column pins may make shiftpwm, or other however I may control those bits more difficult, and a separate shift register may be better.
I figured, I could use 2 bits for sourcing the current per plane (1 8bit chip to source 1 48 LED plane), but it seems to me running the current for 48 LEDs through 2 shift register pins will be too much for it.
In my previous post, with the 4x4x4 RGB cube, they are able to do this with 64 RGB LEDs, and no other parts. I guess they are able to do all the current control via PWM, and since the red LEDs need a lot less voltage than the other LEDs, it somehow must adjust.
Also, Ive noticed other people posting about making 4x4x4 RGB cubes, if you are making a similar cube, post in this thread with how you are doing it, and what features you are thinking about.

I havnt lit this cube yet, Im still not sure how i want to source 5 volts to the 4 planes. It seems to me that I should be similar to my other cube, but I need to deal with 3 times as many LEDs.
I have built an SMD version of the asher glick cubes spire.
I also came up with a way to do this with 8 RGB LED Spires, but I havnt figured out how to do the 8 led spire in SMD.
I've figured out 2 ways to do the 8 LED spire. One way is to simply build 2 4 LED spires, and rotate the top spire 45 degrees from the bottom spire. Instead of 4 leads, you will have 8.
The more interesting way is instead of using the pi/2 rad formula for rotating the LEDs, use pi/4 rad, and iterate it 8 times (instead of 4). This should end up with 8 leads and 8 charlieplexed RGB LEDs in one column. I have to wait for LEDs to arrive before I can build a spire.

I just read up on the ULN 2003 chip, and it looks like a great way to source 5 volts to each layer. It says it can source upto 500ma, that sounds like plenty compared to a single arduino pin. It looks like I hook ground up to pin 8, 5v to pin 9, and use the first 4 pins for input, and last 4 pins for output to each plane. WahBam plenty of current, with a few pins unused. If I had a ULN2803, I could pair up the 8 arrays into 4 arrays for twice the current.
This way, I can modify my old software for the cube to shift out 48 bits instead of 16, and it should work on this cube. I think i can probably use shiftpwm with this cube too.
Still waiting for new RGB LEDs to arrive... They are common cathode, I will use them to make a charliecube like asher glicks. I cant wait to compare the 2 cubes

An update on the 4x4x4 RGB Cubes.
The charliecubes seem to be working great. I have built a couple, and have been running them 24/7 on 5 volts via USB. I have also run them via the Vin with 18v, and they work fine, but the chip gets warm, so I went back to 5v.
The more proper cubes are still under development, one uses TLC5490, and the other uses shift registers and resistors. I built a 48 bit shifter for the anodes, and am using 2 shift registers to sink the 4 planes. I think I need almost 1 amp, and 2 shift registers wont be enough for that probably, so I may need to modify it.
I have a few ULN 2003a chips, and I had thought they would work for sourcing, but that may not be the best solution.
I have been investigating using p-channel and n-channel mosfets. There are a lot of them, and I dont know which ones would be appropriate. It seems the ones in the smaller packages are too small (1/4 amp), and the bigger packages are way bigger than my needs (4 amp).
What are good ways of supplying sink/source to the planes? Is one way vastly superior to another?
Another consideration is circuit board space, im using very small boards with little space, so space is as much consideration as cost (ideally both would be small.)
Shift registers, mosfets, darlington arrays are what I have been looking at, but maybe I should look at other options too?

I think i have found a good current source for my TLC5940 cube,
Manufacturer Part No: IRF3205
Mosfet Type N-channel
Current Rating 110A
Rds (On) 8m?
Voltage Rated 55V
They are under $1 each, and seem to be a good n-channel source. I need about 1amp max.
Im still uncertain about sinking on the shift register cube. I had originally built it with 2 shift registers to sink, but I think I will need lot more than 2 shift registers for that.
I've ordered some of these p-channel mosfets, we will see if they will work.
Manufacturer Part No: IRF9540
Transistor Type:MOSFET
Transistor Polarity:P Channel
Drain Source Voltage, Vds:-100V
Continuous Drain Current, Id:-23A
On Resistance, Rds(on):117mohm
Rds(on) Test Voltage, Vgs:-10V
Im still interested in other options, ULN ?
For what im doing, I only need 1amp max, are there other parts that might be more suitable? These mosfets seem way bigger than I need. I think I could also do the same thing with a pair of ULN2803s, but I think that would be less energy efficient, and probably a worser way to do it if its running on batteries.
What are some good ways to source/sink

Chris Achuff is in his seventh season at Baylor, having joined Baylor as part of Art Briles' original staff in December 2007. He coaches the Bears' defensive linemen.
During Baylor's 2013 Big 12 championship season, Achuff's line led the Bears to a No. 11 national ranking in tackle-for-loss, averaging 7.8 per-game. He coached two All-Big 12 linemen, ends Chris McAllister (first team, team-high 6.5 sacks) and Shawn Oakman (honorable mention, 12.5 tackles-for-loss).
In 2012 Achuff coached All-Big 12 honoree Terrance Lloyd, who led the Bears with nine QB hurries and had 8.5 tackles for loss, and Holiday Bowl Defensive MVP McAllister, who led the team with six sacks on the season.
Achuff mentored two All-Big 12 honorees in 2011 -- second-teamer Nicolas Jean-Baptiste (team-high 8.5 tackles for loss) and honorable mentionee Tevin Elliott.
In 2010 Achuff protégée Phil Taylor amassed 62 tackles and two sacks en route to All-Big 12 honors and being drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft (21st overall) by the Cleveland Browns.
Achuff arrived at Baylor from Tennessee-Martin, where he spent two seasons helping to turn the Skyhawks' fortunes around as the defensive line and strength coach.
In 2006, Tennessee-Martin posted a 9-3 record, won the Ohio Valley Conference title and advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs. Tennessee-Martin led the OVC and ranked 17th nationally in rush defense (112.92 ypg) en route to its league title and also ranked sixth nationally in total defense.
Prior to joining the Skyhawks' staff, Achuff coached the defensive line at Charleston Southern University in 2005 and helped lead the Buccaneers to the school's first conference championship and first winning season (CSU was named the Division I-AA Team of the Year by the College Sports Report).
Achuff was the defensive line coach at Chattanooga in 2004, after spending the 2002 and 2003 seasons as a graduate assistant on Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno's Penn State staff, working on the defensive side of the ball with Baylor associate head coach Brian Norwood. Achuff coached linebackers and served as the strength coach at Kutztown from 1999 through 2001.
He began his coaching career at his alma mater, Bloomsburg University, as a student assistant working with linebackers from 1998-99, then moved to Bryant College to work with outside linebackers and lead the school's strength and conditioning program.
Achuff was a standout outside linebacker and special teams performer at Bloomsburg from 1994-97, where he was a member of four PSAC championship teams.
Chris and his wife, Kim, are the parents of one daughter, Julia, and two sons, Carter and Tyler.

Today is the official start of the 3-day trade show segment of Natural Products Expo West, and after the warm up yesterday, I am crazy anxious to get the ball rolling! I can't wait to share a lot of the new, vegan products out there that are being offered by brands you know and love, and then some. I'm not even sure that I'll be able to get everything organized right after Sunday is over; but sometime next week there will be a barrage of pictures and anecdotes flooding the homepage of Vegan Yack Attack! But, until the expo is over, I have another fantastic recipe for you.
As I was anticipating the arrival of my dear friend Amanda (whom I frequently cook for) on Sunday afternoon, I was thinking of different recipes to make and somehow a flatbread came to mind. I knew that I wanted to incorporate some greenery into the recipe, so I picked up some baby arugula and got to working out the details.
One of the great things about having a witness to your cooking, is that you can allow them to put you in front of the camera. Although, I can still decide what shows up on here, obviously. 😉 So, I put together this recipe by using some others that I've made in the past, such as a variation of a delicious cashew spread and the crust which I made with more whole wheat flour in it.
- 1 Tbsp. Rapid Rise Yeast
- ½ Cup Warm Water
- 1 tsp. Sea Salt
- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 tsp. Agave Nectar
- 1 tsp. Dried Italian Seasoning
- 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
- ¼ Cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- (Additional Olive Oil for brushing lightly over crust)
- 1 Cup Raw Cashews, Soaked 2 Hours
- ¼ Cup of Water (depending on what consistency you want)
- 2 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
- 1 Clove of Garlic
- ½ tsp. Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp. Black Pepper
- 2 Cups Baby Arugula
- 1 Cup Yellow Crook Neck Squash, Sliced
- ⅓ Cup Smoky Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Julienne Sliced
- ¼ Cup Balsamic Vinegar
- Mix the yeast with the lukewarm water until the yeast is dissolved. Let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Mix in the 1 tsp. salt, olive oil, and agave nectar in with the yeast water. Combine the flours and Italian seasoning, then add the wet mixture to the flour. Knead dough until it is fully mixed.
- Roll dough into a ball and let sit in an oil coated bowl for 20 minutes. While that is rising, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Place the soaked cashews, ¼ cup of water, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper into a food processor and puree until smooth.
- After the dough has risen, roll it out to roughly ¼" to ½" thick, and place on pan or pizza stone. Put it in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Take it out and brush a light coat of the olive oil over it. Spread the cashew mixture over the crust, top with arugula, squash, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bake in the oven for an addition 10-15 minutes, or until the outer crust is golden.
- While the flatbread is baking, pour the balsamic vinegar into a small pot and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Lower the heat a little and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Once the flatbread is done baking, and has cooled (wait 5-10 minutes), drizzle the balsamic reduction over the top and serve.
*I'm trying out a new recipe Plug-In, let me know how you like it (or if you don't). I'd love to hear your feedback!
This recipe could easily be made for an impressive appetizer, or a filling dinner paired with a delicious salad. The more greens the merrier, right? I was really happy with how the flatbread turned out; it had a thin, crispy crust with the creamy, savory cashew spread and the different textures from the arugula and yellow squash. The balsamic reduction really adds a different level of flavor to the whole thing, so try as hard as you can not to omit it.
The bloghop, this month, is filled with so many amazing blogs! I love that I'm able to be a part of it, and continue to share the foodie love. Here's a list of all of the bloggers that are participating!

Welcome to the Extreme Weather Sourcebook
Economic & Other Societal Impacts Related to
Hurricanes, Floods, Tornadoes, Lightning, & Other Weather Phenomena
Floods 1955 - 2009 (Sources)
Although flooding is common in the United States, the impacts of flooding are by no means consistent. Many years of small floods with little impact may be followed by a single large flood with a sizable loss. With this in mind, we are presenting flood loss data as the total value of all damages caused by flooding in each state for the years 1955-2009. The "Total Damages" column presents flood loss totals adjusted for inflation to $2009 U.S. Also, since placing greater assets in the way of a flood will cause greater losses, we have adjusted flood loss totals for yearly changes in wealth. Therefore, the "Total Wealth Adjusted Damages" column presents flood loss totals adjusted for inflation and wealth to $2009 U.S. Links to more information on adjustment methods, appropriate interpretation, and original data sources can be found on the Data & Methodology page. It should also be noted that there is no flood loss data for the years 1980-1982. Reliable data for these years do not exist due to a lack of funding for collecting flood loss data during this time period.

Proposed Montana Coal Railroad Under Scrutiny
(Billings, MT – YPR) – The federal Surface Transportation Board is hosting a series of public meetings this week in Montana on a proposed railroad that could expand coal mining and perhaps lead to more coal exports to Asia.
The meetings are part of an environmental review for the proposed Tongue River Railroad (TRR).
The 83-mile line would extend from Miles City, MT to the proposed Otter Creek Coal tracts. The TRR developers estimate the railroad would haul up to 20 million tons of coal annually or about half of Montana's current coal production.
The long-stalled proposal has faced decades of delays due to court and funding challenges.
Some southeastern Montana landowners and environmental groups have opposed the railroad, saying it will industrialize a rural agricultural area and the burning of coal will worsen climate change. The TRR backers say the project will boost the economy.
It now has new owners: The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, Arch Coal Inc., and billionaire Forrest Mars, Jr.
Arch Coal is seeking to build a coal mine at the southern end of the railroad, near Ashland, MT at Otter Creek.
The deadline for public comments on the TRR proposal is December 6, 2012.

CSU Freshmen to Get an Early Start on Critical Skills
Erik Fallis
(562) 951-4800
(February 7, 2012) – Beginning this summer, incoming students to the California State University who need to strengthen math and English skills will get a boost through the CSU's "Early Start" program. The goal is to begin the skills-building process before students arrive on campus for their freshmen year.
Individual campuses will notify students admitted for fall 2012 if they are required to attend the summer program based on entry skills testing. Students are not required to complete all skills building work during the summer; however, the summer program will be the first opportunity to begin refining those skills.
More than half of all first-time freshmen attending the CSU are not prepared for college level math, English or both. This presents a serious challenge, as nearly all courses require these skills. Students not prepared for college level work are at a disadvantage compared to their peers, which complicates academic performance and degree progress.
"Early Start is a smart start that paves the way for student success," said Ephraim Smith, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer. "Students will develop those skills that are tested on a daily basis on university campuses and be better equipped for courses that count toward their degree."
Students participating in Early Start may attend courses at the campus where they were admitted or any other CSU or at a community college. The standard fee to participate is $182 per unit, but the CSU will waive this fee for students who demonstrate need in their application for financial aid.
In addition to Early Start, CSU policy gives students a year to complete pre-collegiate work. Many campuses have developed "stretch" courses with supplemental faculty instruction that count toward a CSU degree and are designed to advance students' English skills.
A Portal to CSU Enrollment
The first indication of whether students need to take entry tests will come in the admission notices to students. This year, students will also be able to go online to see if they are required to take the English Placement Test (EPT) or Entry Level Math (ELM) exams. If students need to take the exams, they will be able to register online.
Admitted students will also have access to individualized web pages – "student portals" – that detail what steps need to be taken prior to attending classes in fall 2012. These requirements may include skills testing and Early Start registration for classes in the summer.
This page will also communicate to students if they are exempt from Early Start due to any of the numerous skills assessment tools, which include Early Assessment Program testing, entry skills testing, or SAT/ACT scores.
Students who are required to register for Early Start will be directed to a web page that will present all of the options available to complete the program.
For more information about Early Start, please visit www.csusuccess.org/earlystart.

About Victims of Government
The Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy estimates that it costs Americans $1.75 trillion to comply with federal regulations each year. To put $1.75 trillion into perspective, that amount is larger than all but eight economies in the world. It also means that over 10% of the U.S. economy is spent on trying to satisfy rules issued by Washington bureaucrats. That doesn't even include federal, state, and local taxes.

Top-ranked recipe named "Great Grandmas Louisiana Gumbo"
Try this Great Grandmas Louisiana Gumbo recipe, or contribute your own. "Bell pepper" and "Soups" are two tags used to describe Great Grandmas Louisiana Gumbo.
Cut meat in 1-inch cubes, then dredge in flour. Melt bacon drippings in a large, heavy saucepan, then add floured meat and cook until browned. Remove meat from pan; add okra and cook until browned (browning prevents the okra from taking on the somewhat slimy texture that many find unpleasant). Return meat to pan, then stir in tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and garlic. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat, cover and simmer 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender and mixture has the consistency of thick soup. Add file powder, salt and hot pepper sauce. Simmer 30 minutes longer. Adjust seasonings, then serve over rice. Makes 4 servings. NOTE: Pork shoulder, chicken, seafood or any combination can be substituted for the beef as desired. From the

El Faro special section
Education Commissioner Pam Stewart defended proposed changes to the Common Core on Tuesday, saying they will set Florida apart and strengthen the state's academic standards.
at 1-866-845-TIPS. 3 Controversy over education is growing along party lines. Today, members of the Florida Board of Education met to discuss major changes to what our children learn in the classroom, and HOW they learn it. It's called the Common Core and it's a set of new standards the entire country can follow. But before state leaders vote to adopt this education overhaul... Republicans are speaking out. They tell Channel 4's Tarik Minor, this is all an attempt at a federal takeover. 3 12-1824-3047-531:22-1:261:36- 1:411:47-1:53PKG - 05:50:02"the overriding concern of the members of the republican party of Duvall county is that we don't know where it comes from, we don't know the bureaucracy of these standards and who is going to implement them."Rick Hartley says Duval County Republicans don't trust the origin of Florida's Common Core Standards, which are a set of language arts and math skills students will be expected to master, in Duval County and 45 states across the country.05:50:25"our members are very distrustful of a faceless, nameless bureaucracy and even the federal government says it's not us, so we don't want to turn over the future of our children to a bureaucracy we can't even identify."There's a growing concern among the party's grass roots members over school benchmarks that could be implemented this year. School Superintendent dr. Nikolai Vitti says, the concerns aren't warranted. 05:45:14"there weren't folks in Washington dc, in a secret room high atop a building creating these standards, they were done collaboratively by leaders of all states, so no I don't think it's a government takeover."Vitti says common core standards were developed through a partnership between the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School officers - to put the countries students on the same educational playing field, regardless of their zip code.05:45:38"I think it's become about politics and not education unfortunately and I think a lot of the push back is growing, and it's more about politics than what's best for kids."Standup 05:42:35"as for the parents that we spoke with today, they too are torn on the issue, some say it's time for changes to Florida's educational standards, others say things should stay the same."Laurie Sabins believes the common core values should be modeled after the country's top achievers.05:37:59" I think they need to look at he states that are more successful, and bring that educational standards back down to our area."While other parents are buying into the idea, that our country's students should be held to the same standards.05:39:17"I Definitely welcome a change, I think our children are not prepared at at to compete, especially in a global market."TAG - The Common Core standards are expected to be implemented here in Duval County in the 2014-15 school year.What remains unclear is what standardized test

1984-09-22 Donald Curry w rsc 6 (15) Nino La Rocca, Circus Tent, Monte Carlo, Monaco - WBA/IBF
From Barry Hugman's History of Championship Boxing
1984-09-22 Donald Curry w rsc 6 (15) Nino La Rocca, Circus Tent, Monte Carlo, Monaco - WBA/IBF. Referee: Stan Christodoulou. Stalking the challenger from the start, Curry (147) pressed forward, blocking punches with a high guard, and by the third round appeared to have matters under control. Having hurt La Rocca (146¾) in the fourth with a hard right to the head, Curry repeated the dose in the fifth before opening up with his full armoury in the sixth. With Curry now in full swing, La Rocca was dropped by two solid lefts. After taking the mandatory count, and in a groggy condition, he was hunted down and quickly floored again by a cracking left hook, whereupon the referee called a halt at 1.27 of the session.

Intro to College Savings - Lesson 4
Posted: 2015-08-13
Get family and friends involved
Grandparents are the second-biggest source of college savings (next to parents). When polled about their financial objectives, the desire to help fund the college education of their grandchildren consistently comes out on top. Other relatives and friends can also be impossible sources of college savings, although for purposes of todays lesson we will include them in the term grandparents.
The question as it relates to grandparents is: what is the best way to get them involved tin your childs college savings?
Ask them.
Many parents are understandably reluctant to ask the grandparents for financial assistance. After all, the responsibility for educating their children usually lies squarely on the parents shoulders.
Yet most grandparents, if asked, will respond positively. If you feel your childs grandparents are financially capable and would be receptive to an invitation to join the college savings effort, you might approach them by first describing your own steps in setting up a college savings fund.
If your childs grandparents are utilizing the services of a financial planner, you could ask whether or not the planner has discussed the possibility of helping to fund college. As the parent, it would be important for you to know what to expect so you can coordinate your own college savings efforts.
Grandparent vehicles
Not all of the college savings vehicles discussed in Tuesdays lesson are appropriate for grandparents. For example, grandparents cannot take advantage of the education tax exclusion with U.S. savings bonds when the student is not their tax dependent. Also, most Coverdell education savings accounts require that a parent or guardian be named as the responsible individual, leaving grandparents out.
But 529 plans and UTMA/UGMA accounts are still available to grandparents and 529 plans, in particular, offer special features that many grandparents will find especially attractive.

EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö Local residents will soon have to adjust to a new place where they have to pick up and deliver their mail. But how soon is still yet to be determined.
Joseph Mulvey, the real estate specialist for the United States Postal Service (USPS), presented the Post OfficeŌĆÖs plan to close the 19,000-square-foot location at 5775 Post Road, which houses both the retail services and a delivery carrier operation, and move the retail services to another location in town and the delivery carriers to the North Kingstown Post Office ŌĆō which is approximately four miles south of the current East Greenwich facility.
SHANNOCK - There were 25 to 30 LaBelle relatives on hand for the ribbon cutting and dedication of the Donald A. LaBelle Water Treatment Facility in Shannock Village on Saturday, May 11. The facility, complete with two wells and two 8,000 gallon storage tanks, has been on-line for six months. The ribbon cutting marked a huge triumph for the village.
CHARLESTOWNŌĆöThe town council voted unanimously Monday to hire a lawyer to represent the town during the Whalerock hearing before the zoning board next week.
Last month, Superior Court Judge Kristin Rodgers granted developer Larry LeBlanc, president of Whalerock Renewable Energy LLC, permission to pursue the special use permit that would allow him to develop two 262-foot high wind turbines on an 81-acre parcel on a site just north of Route 1, on Kings Factory Road.
COVENTRYŌĆö Although some objected to the bill, the Senate voted 29-7 last Thursday to approve bill 2013-H 5176A, which will allow the Central Coventry Fire District to remain operational under the previous yearŌĆÖs budget for the time being.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö The wait is over for gay and lesbian couples in Rhode Island. The House of RepresentativesŌĆÖ 56-15 vote last night to approve same-sex marriage brought to the Statehouse steps Governor Lincoln Chafee, who immediately signed the bill into law and made Rhode Island the tenth state in the country to allow same sex couples to marry.
Robert M. Taylor, 45, who is accused of murdering his 65-year-old mother, Allison M. Taylor, on Tuesday, has an extensive criminal history in Rhode Island, dating back to 1989.
Taylor has been arrested dozens of times since then in Warwick, Narragansett, Block Island, Newport, Providence, Brown University and South Kingstown, according to Rhode Island Judicial records.
NARRAGANSETTŌĆöAs the news of Robert M.

Rahim Ayew backs Andre to win CAF Player of the Year award
By Patrick Akoto
Rahim Ayew believes his junior brother Andre deserves to win the coveted African Player of the Year award ahead of Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba.
The 22-year-old is the only Ghanaian shortlisted for the individual award where is expected to battle it out with 9 other nominees.
The second of Ghana legend Abedi Pele played a pivotal role for Marseille last season where he made 39 appearances and scored 16 goals for the French Lique 1 outfit despite struggling with a shoulder injury.
He was also a key member of the Black Stars squad that placed fourth at the 2012 African Cup of Nations held in Gabon and Equitorial Guinea.
He will however face stiff competition from Ivorian trio Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure and Gervinho.
Zambian icon Christopher Katongo as well as John Mikel Obi, Alex Song and Demba Ba are all in the reckoning for the top award.
But the Lierse midfieder thinks Andre will be a worthy winner.
"I think he deserves it and so they should give it to him. He had good season and so given him the award will serve as a morale booster for him ahead of the Nations Cup," Ayew told Radio ZYZ
"The young players should also be encouraged by given the award to Andre. I seriously believe if you look at what he's done in the past three years or so he deserves this award.
CAF is expected to prune the number down to three in the last week of November with the ceremony scheduled to take place in Ghana's capital, Accra on December 20.

WADDINGTON Opposition to recent development proposals took the form of a letter to the Town Council this week from residents contending that the plans threaten to change the town for the worse.
The letter, signed only Concerned Residents of Waddington and submitted by resident Anthony Zeledon, states that the plans unveiled last month, specifically a proposed campground at Leishman Point, would be transforming to the community.
G2G Inc. owners Rebecca A. and Jeffery A. Gerrish, Potsdam, plan to develop Leishman Point and nearby River Road parcels into a four-season campground and renovate the historic Clark House into a hotel and conference center.
Council members have said they are open to the proposals.
G2G Inc. also proposed a four-story, 60-room Country Hearth Inn & Suites in Potsdam, but that project was rejected due to lack of private investment.
Earlier this year, G2G proposed a 45,000-square-foot, 60-room economy class franchise hotel and conference center on Leishman Point, but canceled the idea.
Mr. Zeledon declined Wednesday to say whether Concerned Residents of Waddington refers to an organized group or how many people the letter represents.
The letter states little has been done with Clark House.
Town Supervisor Mark Scott responded: The Clark House has not been finished because they lack the investment, and it will be necessary to complete the project. The Gerrishes are interested in investing and operating the Clark House, which would be wonderful. But the Clark House is not on town-owned property. If the Clark House board wants to see that developed in a particular way, thats a decision to be made by their board.
The letter refers to the Gerrishes proposal for Leishman Point as a trailer park, contending that it would undermine the security, the peaceful and quietness of our way of living as well as negatively affecting our home values.
The projects first phase would include the installation of 22 RV sites with full hook-ups, 22 campsites and 14 insulated cabins throughout Leishman Point and along the River Road. The project also would include a parking lot, concrete tent pad and four restroom and shower facilities.
Mr. Scott said the town could earn 10 percent to 20 percent in revenue through the campground.
To call an RV campground a trailer park is not accurate, Mr. Scott said. The campground is very consistent with the character of the town. We already have a campground at Coles Creek State Park, three miles down the road. There are campers located across from the beach. I havent heard any complaints regarding their existence.
Mr. Scott said the idea of a campground came out of a public meeting in which community members were invited to vote on development ideas for the property on Leishman Point and River Road as part of the towns strategic economic development plan.
Mr. Scott said residents who have concerns can email him at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 388-4346.
The next Town Council meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday at the Hepburn Library Community Room, 30 Main St.

Peoria could become the first Arizona city to require fingerprinting at pharmacies when picking up prescriptions for commonly abused drugs in an effort to curb an escalating number of fraud cases.
Peoria law-enforcement officials this month proposed an ordinance that would require anyone filling prescriptions for drugs such as OxyContin and Percocet to show ID and be fingerprinted at the pharmacy counter, including anyone picking up a prescription for a family member or friend.

A Kissimmee mother has been charged with child neglect after police say an exterminator found her 1-year-old child alone in an apartment.
Kissimmee police said the pest control worker knocked on the door of the apartment four times before walking in to do requested maintenance. When he opened the door, he saw a small child sitting on the couch at 11:45 a.m. and contacted office staff.
Eserophe Ausa, 39, arrived minutes before authorities arrived and said she stepped out of the apartment to pick something up from someone. Upon further questioning, she told police that she went to Wal-Mart to buy groceries and left the sleeping 1-year-old on the couch.
Ausa was taken to Osceola County Jail on $1,000 bond. Her husband, who was at work at the time of the incident, took custody of the 1-year-old.
Department of Children and Families is also investigating.

North Florida (8-14, 5-6 A-Sun)
Lipscomb (5-17, 3-8 A-Sun)
1/28/2012 | Nashville, TN - Allen Arena | Attendance: 1916
Friday, January 27, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – On the heels of Thursday night's 68-64 win over Jacksonville, the Lipscomb women's basketball team continues home action on Saturday afternoon hosting Atlantic Sun Conference foe North Florida at 4 p.m. at Allen Arena.
Behind a season-high 48 rebounds and forcing a season-best 21 turnovers, the Lady Bison (4-17, 2-8 A-Sun) snapped a six-game losing skid with the win over Jacksonville. Lipscomb placed four players in double figures led by junior point guard Morgan Faulkner, who scored 16.
Junior wing Hannah Phillips continues to pace Lipscomb in scoring averaging 12.6 points per game and 5.1 rebounds per outing. Senior guard Anna Bowers is right on her heels however, averaging 12.4 points per game.
The opponent: One of the top defensive teams in the A-Sun, the Ospreys (8-13, 5-5 A-Sun) are limiting their opponents to just 62 points per contest. UNF held Belmont below that number on Thursday night but could never get the offense going in a 57-35 loss to the Bruins.
Brittany Kirkland leads UNF in scoring averaging 12.3 points per game while Lakira Jones is a force on the glass for North Florida averaging 7.2 rebounds per contest.
Promotions: Saturday's contest is part of a doubleheader with the Lipscomb men's team that features "Star Wars" night with a chance to dress as your favorite movie character and mingle with other fans of the classic films. The game is also part of another "Adoption Rally" night. The Carrico and Hendrix families will be on hand and 100 percent of all single-game ticket sales will be given to them to use for their adoption expenses.
Up next: The Lady Bison continue home action next Saturday hosting Belmont at 6:30 p.m. in a "Battle of the Boulevard" contest that will be featured on ESPN3.

Add to researchTimothy Mo
Timothy Mo
- Born
- Hong Kong
- Genre
- Fiction
- Biography
Timothy Mo was born in Hong Kong in 1950 to a Cantonese father and an English mother. He was educated in Hong Kong and England. After graduating from St John's College, Oxford, he worked as a journalist for the New Statesman and Boxing News. With Salman Rushdie and Kazuo Ishiguro, Timothy Mo emerged in the 1980s as one of the most important novelists writing about bi-cultural diversity, reflecting both his Anglo-Chinese background and his concerns for the effects of imperialism and colonial rule in South-East Asia.
His first novel, The Monkey King (1978), set in Hong Kong, won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. His next three novels were all shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction: Sour Sweet (1982), the story of a Chinese immigrant family living in London, winner of the Hawthornden Prize; An Insular Possession (1986), set during the Opium Wars between Britain and China in the first half of the nineteenth century; and The Redundancy of Courage (1991), a fictional account of Indonesia's annexation of East Timor in 1976. Sour Sweet was adapted as a film in 1988 with a screenplay by Ian McEwan.
Mo has published his two most recent books himself. Both are set in the Philippines: Brownout on Breadfruit Boulevard (1995), set during an academic conference, a satire of cultural and imperial domination, while Renegade or Halo2 (1999) describes the adventures of Rey Archimedes Blondel Castro, the son of an American G.I. and a Filipina bar-girl. Renegade or Halo2 was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (for fiction).
His next book, Pure (2012), was published over a decade later , the heroine of which is a Bangkok lady boy who joins a company of Islamist warriors.
Critical Perspective
Timothy Mo established his literary reputation from the word go with his prize winning first novel, The Monkey King (1978).
Set in colonial Hong Kong between the 1950s and 1970s, The Monkey King is divided into three sections, each structured closely around the trials and tribulations of Wallace Nolasco. Wallace is the son in-law of the patriarchal Mr Poon and it is the ensuing tensions between these two characters that drive the plot. This family saga, caught within the oppressive walls of the Poon's ancestral home, relies on an odd, but effective mixture of gothic and comic conventions. Later in the novel Nolasco breaks free from his father in-law, moving to Mainland China in a final attempt to gain acceptance. It is perhaps the opening section of this novel that remains the most captivating however, with its intimate sketches of family rituals and customs.
Sour Sweet (1982), Mo's next novel adopts the same tripartite structure as The Monkey King and shares its focus on familial relations and tensions. Set in Chinatown, London the novel is also a broader articulation of the migrant experience in the 1960s. The story centres on the lives of Chen and Lily and their son Man Kee. The family has moved to England in order to set up a restaurant, and food, cooking and consumption become key metaphors through which the migrant experience is articulated in the novel. However unlike fellow migrant author Salman Rushdie, who uses food as a celebratory signifier of admixture and hybridity, Mo uses it more frequently as a marker of dislocation and uprootedness:
'She [Lily] put her hands around Man Kee's mango plant and tugged at it. It would not come up...There was a sound of subterranean tearing, the sound of small roots, tendrils, and delicate fibres shearing and snapping ...With louder vegetable groanings it began to come out of the earth. Another long tug and then the plant was uprooted with a single loud snap that seemed to come out of her own body, so that for a moment Lily wondered if she had cracked her own vertebrae.'
Of course the extended image of dislocation in this passage signals a split between mother and son as much as between homeland and England. The family unit in Sour Sweet is perhaps threatened more by the arrival of the triads, a Chinese Mafia style organisation and another immigrant group within the novel, than it is by the English. Sour Sweet is a less optimistic, more mature work than The Monkey King and remains for many the quintessential Mo novel, securing his reputation as a writer.
Mo's next two novels, An Insular Possession (1986) and The Redundancy of Courage (1991), represent some of the author's most ambitious and experimental work to date, and it is a shame that they have not received the same critical attention as Booker shortlisted Sour Sweet. An Insular Possession is perhaps Mo's least 'insular' narrative, not to mention his own particular favourite. The novel marks a move away from the family saga, to offer an historical narrative of epic proportions. Submerged in the past, but written in the present tense, it tells the history and pre-history of Hong Kong in a manner that obliquely illuminates contemporary affairs. And yet if An Insular Possession is an historical novel then it refuses to persuade us of its authenticity. It is no coincidence that the protagonists of Mo's novel are Americans, marginal to the world they witness. The result of this process is that the reader is forced to reflect on the way in which history is being told rather than solely on the history itself. In The Redundancy of Courage, Mo appears to abandon 'fact' altogether. Winner of the E. M. Forster Award and shortlisted for the Booker Prize, the narrative unfolds on the imaginary island of Danu. Telling the story of Adolph Ng, a Chinese hotelier whose life is transformed when the island is invaded by the neighbouring Malais, The Redundancy of Courage is also an allegorical tale about the guerrilla war against the Indonesians in Timor.
Mo's most recent works, Brownout on Breadfruit Boulevard (1995) and Renegade or Halo 2 (2000) are published independently by the author following a controversial break with publishers Chatto and Windus. Moving between Macau, the Philippines, New York and Japan, these novels abandon the character driven plots of earlier work, while their sheer comic brilliance recalls both Sour Sweet and The Monkey King. What will strike the reader of Mo's first six novels is their radical diversity and inventiveness. Unlike so many other contemporary authors who have settled into a certain style and subject, Mo continually breaks his own conventions, a fact that makes any coherent critical overview of his work inherently flawed. As a writer who has deliberately resisted incorporation by the establishment over the past fifteen years, Mo would, one images, derive a good deal of pleasure from this fact.
