Hometown Tourist: Spending the Summer in Seattle
Everyone I've met in Seattle (including a few people who share my love of travel) insists that summer is the the best time to stay grounded in the Emerald City and from what I've seen so far, they're ACCURATE. Imagine this: clear blue skies over Elliott Bay and Puget Sound, views of the snow-capped Olympic Mountains to the west, the equally snow-capped Cascades to the east, and, on days when it decides to show up, views of Mount Rainier.
Big Sur: Natural Beauty on the California Coast
Rocky cliffs with long, luscious views of the Pacific Ocean, magnificent mountains cloaked in fog and covered in evergreens, and nature in perfect harmony with itself. I sincerely can't think of a more visually captivating place than this stunning stretch of the California coast between San Simeon and Carmel.

This is Hearst Castle: opulent, obsessive, and almost obscene. It's a must-see stop in San Simeon along California's Pacific Coast Highway.

Abraham Lincoln High School officially opened its doors in 1913. It evolved from humble beginnings as Avenue 21 Grammar School in 1878. The grammar school became Intermediate of Avenue 21 then, because enrollment grew to such an extent, it eventually relocated to the "enchanted hill" in 1913.
The location that Lincoln High School now occupies was once part of the old pueblo land. Originally awarded to Dr. John S. Griffin in 1856 in appreciation for aiding the people of the area during a small pox epidemic, it later passed to his nephew, Hancock Johnson then to the Warneick Brothers and eventually to W.W. Woolwine who built a beautiful home on the site now occupied by the high school's gymnasium. This area was known then as the North Side. Woolwine eventually sold the land and Lincoln High was built on that property. The school quickly became an acknowledged pioneer in industrial arts, the best in California if not the whole United States at that time. This notoriety led to extending the campus with three shops across Lincoln Park Avenue. Community pride in the high school and efforts by principle Ethel Percy Andrus played an important role in renaming the community Lincoln Heights. Ninety-five years later, it remains one of the oldest and most beautiful campuses in Los Angeles.
Like an aging actress, wearing excessive makeup to defy her age, our alma mater proudly stands with a new coat of paint. The yellow-ochre buildings at Lincoln High look very different from the distinguishing edifices that were once naturally radiant in
their original color more befitting a place of learning. The current buildings replaced the originals in 1937 after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake damaged and rendered the grand old school unsafe. Students held classes on the lawn during construction of the new high school. Yearbook photographs from the 1920's and early 1930's of the old school reveal an idyllic setting. Its campus once nestled atop the hill where the gymnasium and football field currently stand. It was bordered by Lincoln Park Avenue and North Broadway. Its main entrance was on the North Broadway side where a three-tiered stairway led to the main building. Old yearbook photos depict a stately, serenely beautiful school that eventually succumbed to a mighty force of nature. It had a look and feel of a university rising above the community like Shangri-la. It featured pillars, tiled mission-style fountains in alcoves and ornate iron latticework railing that zigzagged upward to her buildings. Concrete benches lined pathways. The campus was laced with ivy-covered walls; palm and eucalyptus trees dotted the landscape; there were grassy knolls, concrete lampposts lighting the stairways. Her three-storied buildings had terra-cotta tiled roofs and canvas awnings that shaded the classrooms.
The newer campus, constructed under the Works Progress Administration, is markedly different in architectual style fom its predecessor. Architect Albert C. Martin provided the Morderne, art deco design for the rebuilt campus. The newer style was typical of the period; the buildings are generously embellished with W.P.A murals and sculpture. The buildings and surrounding grounds have always been a source of pride for its students throughout the years. Lincoln High School, for many years, was known for having one of the most beautiful and cleanest campuses in the city.
Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus (1884-1967), the most prominent and influential principals in Lincoln High School's history, administered from 1916 to 1945. She was a long-time educator and the first female high school principal in California. She is the founder of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Her legacy at Lincoln is still strong. Most recently, the AARP Foundation donated $100,000 to the school for its arts programs and to refurbish the auditorium which was re-dedicated as the Ethel Percy Andrus Center for the Performing Arts.
The auditorium is the newest tangible upgrade to the campus. Aside from the gradual addition of bungalows to accommodate a growing enrollment and curriculum throughout the years and the industrial arts classroom shops no longer hold court as they once did. Changes that occurred in the last ten years are the school wide renovation during the 1990's; the old wooden bleachers were mercilessly replaced by aluminum benches in 1998 after ten years of going without and highly anticipated stadium lights for night football games were introduced and celebrated in 2003.
School life and times at Lincoln are vastly different now from the past. Cherished traditions have changed or altogether vanished. Priorities of the modern age have taken hold as the makeup of the community is altered; cultural continuity in social attitudes, customs, economics and educational demands, dictate many of those alterations. Gone are the days when seventh-graders walked the hallowed halls of Lincoln High alongside twelfth-grade students; gone are those role models that paved the way for the "scrubs" to mature into their own leadership and sphere of influence. The last class to go the distance from grade seven to twelve is the class of 1974.
This year, Lincoln High School celebrates 95 glorious years of existence in a community named for it. Its' storied past is part of the woven fabric and landscape that is Lincoln Heights. Its future lies with the students that inhabit it, the alumni that carry the torch and continue to leave us with indelible memories.
This story was written by Robert Granados (Emancipator class of Summer 1962) and appeared in a newsletter published in 2008 as Lincoln High celebrated its 95th anniversary.

Hanover Diary: A Working Green
Back when men were men, women were women, and insurance companies (or perhaps just timorous bureaucrats?) didn't actively seek to leach all the fun out of life, the Green was a center for the dormitory-based and fraternity intramural leagues. We played softball and touch football there in the fall and the spring. Strolling passersby would stop to chat with friends, loll along the sidelines, and cheer on their favorite dorm or frat. If pressed for time, they would cut across the outfield or the endzone, and live to tell the tale.
Three years ago President Kim organized a single softball game on the Green. A great deal of care was taken to ensure that no bystander could possibly be near a flying ball. There hasn't been a game since then.
Addendum: An alumnus writes in:
What good is it having Phil Hanlon '77 as President if he can't combine his power and memories to restore traditions that have been mistakenly eliminated from Dartmouth. Does he expect his multi-building clusters to have the social cohesiveness to restore intramural sports?

Day after day, city after city, Romero Osby is traveling the country, trying to get an NBA team — any NBA team — to fall in love with him.
Oklahoma basketball: Romero Osby fighting for one of NBA Draft's limited slots
Or at least like the former OU star enough to spend a coveted draft pick on him later this month.
"I've got a lot of teams scheduled," Osby said, via phone, outside a Sacramento restaurant earlier this week, a day before he was set to workout for the Kings. "So that means there's some type of interest."
And that interest has led to plenty of positive feedback.
The six-foot-seven forward ("Six-eight with shoes," Osby said) turned heads during a workout with the Wizards last week and has been gaining momentum, with many draft-focused sites labeling him a possible second-round steal.
He's had other group and individual training sessions with the Timberwolves, Grizzlies, Nets and 76ers, among others. Even had a long and instructive conversation with former OU coach and current Rockets assistant Kelvin Sampson after a workout in Houston.
"It's funny how small the basketball world is," Osby said of his meeting with Sampson. "There's been different teams that really like my game, think I can be an asset. I don't have any promises or anything about getting drafted, but I do have some positive feedback and that's what I'm going off."
In other major sports, Osby would be an essential lock to get drafted and a strong candidate to make a roster.
The NFL has seven rounds and 53 roster spots per team; 254 players got drafted in 2013. The MLB has 40 rounds and more than 150 spots per organization; 1,216 players got drafted in 2013.
But the NBA only has two rounds. Sixty players get selected. And many of them, especially in the second round, are draft-and-stash selections, with NBA teams taking an international player and storing him overseas for a couple seasons.
It's a harsh reality for fringe second-round picks. Some of college basketball's best players, like Osby, a guy who averaged 16 points and seven boards as an All-Big 12 First Team selection last season at OU, may not find a place in the league.

Detailed Description:
This study is being conducted to understand how effective oral hormonal birth control (the pill) is for women with high body mass index ("BMI" - the ratio of your height and weight BMI"). Previous studies of birth control traditionally do not include women above a certain BMI number, so safety and efficacy is not clearly understood in this population, yet the pill is still widely used in women with high BMI.
Reproductive-aged, ovulatory women of obese (BMI >30 kg/m2), will be placed on oral contraceptives for 2 months, then randomized into two intervention arms for an additional 2 months. At several key time points, synthetic steroid pharmacokinetics, gonadotropins (LH, FSH) and ovarian hormone levels (estradiol, progesterone), ovarian follicular activity by ultrasound monitoring, and cervical mucus testing will be monitored.

|18 Years to 35 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18-35
- BMI > 30kg/m2

International Students and Scholars
Two L&C Groups Win 100 Projects for Peace!
March 14, 2011
Two Lewis & Clark student groups each won $10,000 awards as part of this year's 100 Projects for Peace initiative sponsored by the family of Katheryn Wasserman Davis. This is the first time that Lewis & Clark College students have won two of the awards in the national competition.
Selam "Brook" Mentire '11, Leah Scott-Zechlin '11, Mihret Teklemichael '12, Temesghen Habte '12, and Seile Alemayehu '13 teamed up to submit an excellent, well-written proposal titled "Drilling Well, Providing Clean Water and Promoting Peace in Borena, Ethiopia." The students, three of whom are Davis UWC Scholars from Ethiopia, plan to travel to Borena, Ethiopia this summer to construct a well and conduct a four-day workshop to educate the villagers, many from different tribes, about the lasting impact of violence and the many peaceful alternatives with which they can solve conflicts.
Almost all of the $10,000 funding for the project will go towards drilling the well and conducting workshops. The students are currently raising additional funds—through solicitations, dinners, and other projects—to ensure that all members of the team can travel to Ethiopia and coordinate the project.
Samantha Stein '11, a participant in Lewis & Clark's overseas program in Morocco, submitted her well-conceived proposal from abroad and with the support of 17 Lewis & Clark student volunteers. Stein's proposal is titled: "Tools for Tolerance: Human Rights Education in Casablanca, Morocco." Stein and her team of Lewis & Clark volunteers will work with the Hay Mohammadi Ministry of Education and the Morocco Geneva Alliance for Human Rights to establish a human rights cultural center in Casablanca.
The work for both projects will be conducted during the summer of 2011.
This year students from ninety-two colleges and universities applied for and received one of the $10,000 100 Projects for Peace grants. Only ten universities received two grants each. In addition to Lewis & Clark, the other nine schools include Amherst, Bucknell, Colby, Dartmouth, Haverford, Princeton, St. Lawrence, Chicago, and Yale.
Congratulations to our Lewis & Clark students and grant winners!

The firefighter, who was not identified, was hurt when he fell from a ladder, said Battalion Chief Ron Lewis, a Fire Department spokesman. The firefighter was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center where he was treated and released.
It took about 25 minutes to get the fire, which was in the roof and attic, under control, according to the release. Damage was estimated at $25,000.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, the release said.
The resident of the house, who was not identified, was not hurt and declined assistance from the Red Cross, the release said.
The homeowner is Eunice R. White, according to Cumberland County tax records.

Executive Q&A: There's no stopping Edmond traffic signal hardware manufacturer's ingenuity
A: I was drafted into the Army. Lois and I decided to go ahead and get married 10 days before I deployed to Germany. We spent our honeymoon in Arkansas via Muskogee, where we were waylaid one night when the timing gear broke down on the car I borrowed from my brother-in-law. We were apart 16 months before my return, as a sergeant, on Christmas Eve 1957. Overseas, I served in training exercises with the 10th Infantry Division as a forward observer on a 4.2 inch mortar company. Back home, Lois, who's been a lifelong painter, sketched dresses for the newspaper advertisements of Harry Katz dressmakers. We spent the following year in Fort Worth, where I worked for an exchange parts company and Lois, as a drafter for the soil conservation service.
Q: How did you move into the engineering field?
A: Lois encouraged me to get my engineering degree from OU, so we moved home and she worked full time in drafting for Superior Oil Company, while I went to school full time. Many of my course credits at Midland transferred, so it only took me two years. When I graduated, Bill McCurdy — my sister's husband and longtime traffic engineer for the state — and I started VePed Traffic Controls Inc., which was in business 21 years and grew to 90 employees. We started out as factory reps for the paint, sign and other companies that contracted with the state. But as we went along, we had ideas of our own, which we started making and selling.
Q: What is your bread-and-butter product?
A: The Astro-Brac, a universal mounting system for traffic signals, cameras and sensors that can be fitted with bands or cables and rotate 360 degrees. I invented it in 1968 and, with astronauts bound for the moon, we incorporated "astro" in its name and billed it as a product that was "out of this world." Today, it remains our cornerstone product.
Q: What became of VePed?
A: It died. We had what's now the Maaco building on seven acres at Hefner and Broadway Extension. A complex was planned for the four corners there, causing the property at the intersection to shoot up in value. But when the planned construction fell through, the bank foreclosed on our appreciated property, forcing us to auction the building and land. My brother-in-law and I separated. He took Trafco Constructors, which incidentally had built the Myriad Gardens tube in 1984, and I took VePed, which my son Steve and I renamed and rebranded Pelco in 1985. Steve had just graduated from OSU in marketing. It was one of those cases where bad things turn out to be good.
Q: What's next for you?
A: I plan to move to chairman of Pelco, and Steve will become president. Then I can spend more of my time on the Bacon Barn, a bandage dispenser and other products I've developed and market under the name Unico, which is the Spanish word for unique. Between traffic signal hardware and other products, I have some 28 patents. I don't plan to quit working. I believe the mind is like any other muscle. If you don't use it, it will atrophy.

This past Thursday, a group of people who wished to travel from Cairns, Australia to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea were shocked to discover that a snake had hitched a ride on one of their plane's wings.
The snake was first spotted by a woman, who did not delay informing both the cabin crew and the other passengers, Huffington Post says.
As the video above shows, the snake managed to remain hidden under the aircraft's wing for a while, yet a gust of wind eventually dragged it out of this place.
Apparently, the 10-foot-long scrub (about 3 meters) python turned out to be quite a fighter, seeing how it held on to the plane for almost two hours.
Unfortunately, the cold temperatures it became exposed to while flying through the air eventually got to it, and the snake died.

Harrison Continues Fighting High Infection Rates
Harrison Medical Center continues to struggle with comparatively high central-line infection rates.
Between July 2009 and June 2010, the Bremerton-based hospital had an infection rate of 3.18 per 1,000 central line days, second worst in the state of hospitals reporting, according to data from the Washington State Hospital Association released this week. Samaritan Hospital of Moses Lake had the worst.
Contributing to the rate jump was a relatively high number of central-line infections in the second half of 2009 — eight — which caused the infection rate to spike to 4.64 per 1,000 line days. The rate improved to 1.73 per 1,000 line days in the first half of 2010 as the number of central-line infections dropped to three.
Harrison's rate is higher than the state average of .76 per line days and the national average of 1.50 per line days.
Harrison had the highest central-line infection rate in the state for the year 2009, according to another set of data from the Washington Department of Health that the Kitsap Sun reported on in August..
Harrison President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Bosch said the hospital continues to take the situation very seriously and implement improvements.
"This organization is absolutely committed to patient safety," he said.
Now in its arsenal to battle infections are new alcohol-packed "port protectors" attached at the central lines, as well as specially treated bandages and bath cloths. Staff training and procedures are being looked at.
Physicians' names now are attached to data, and if problems are discovered, the physician can undergo consultation with peers to find ways to improve, according to Dr. Sandy Saffier, Harrison chief medical officer and vice president for quality.
Central lines are thick, long tubes inserted in patients to deliver drugs and take samples. Infections happen when lines are inserted in non-sterile settings, or when germs from patients get in the lines.
The data from the Washington State Hospital Association also shows that Harrison continues to struggle with ventilator-pneumonia infections, measured at 1.87 per 1,000 ventilator line days between July 2009 and June 2010. That also was higher than the state average of .70. But it was an improvement over the Department of Health data for 2009, where Harrison scored 2.22 per 1,000 ventilator line days.
The Hospital Association's newly expanded database also revealed that Harrison had 2.78 infections per 100 hip-joint replacements between January and June 2010, higher than the .76 statewide average rate. Yet, the hospital had no infection rates reported from knee replacements.
Also, from January through June of 2010, Harrison had an above-state average for infections stemming from abdominal hysterectomies, or 1.56 per 100 procedures compared with 1.37 per 100.
The Hospital Association was directed by the Legislature to put out infection rates from certain types of surgeries so consumers could have more information when choosing hospitals. Meanwhile, the state Department of Health continues to accumulate its own data on central-line and ventilator-pneumonia infections.
Bosch said he and his board fully support the transparency. But he and Saffier also made a case that the numbers don't tell the whole story.
Harrison, for example, could be getting sicker patients coming in from outlying rural areas, meaning smaller hospitals doing less-complicated procedures may get better scores.
Nor does the data take into account other health conditions a patient might have that could contribute to higher infection rates — say a diabetic who's in for a hip replacement.
"It is a complex issue," Bosch said. "The way the data is collected is sometimes different from organization to organization."

Hair Care
A Feel for Innovation
By: Nancy Jeffries
Posted: September 2, 2008, from the September 2006 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 2 of 6
"In Asia, a woman's beauty starts with the appearance of her hair. It needs to be shiny, soft, silky and healthy looking," said Vince Ungvary, marketing director, Dow Corning Personal Care, Asia. "This need can be met by leave-in conditioners, one of the fastest-growing segments of the global hair care market."
Combining Lipids and Silicones
According to the company, Dow Corning® natural lipids are stabilized against oxidation so they can be formulated with silicones to improve the feel of hair and skin products. The lipids line is the result of an alliance with International Cosmetic Science Centre (ICSC), a research and development center and supplier of high-quality natural ingredients to the cosmetic industry.
Dow Corning stated its lipids, rich in fatty acids, are good moisturizers and hair conditioners, especially for ethnic hair care products, and can restore the skin's barrier function. They can be used in combination with silicones, which are good emollients that improve the feel of formulations to create products with low film residue, greasiness and tackiness. Incorporating natural lipids in formulations had been difficult because of their inherent oxidative instability, especially for lipids with a high content of essential fatty acids. Rosemary extract has been found to stabilize the lipids against oxidation. To deliver these lipids in concentrated emulsions combined with silicones provides additional benefits for the cosmetic formulator," said Gyzen.
Replicating practices that have been used for centuries, Dow Corning's lipids are derived naturally from plant seeds, fruit nuts or kernels, mango, kokum, black currant, evening primrose, borage, camelina and shea, which are sourced from such locations as India, Pakistan, East Africa, Mexico, Central America and China.

1942. USA. Archie Mayo. 94 min.
Monday, June 23, 2008, 6:00 p.m.
Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
1942. USA. Directed by Archie Mayo. Following his 1937 arrival in Hollywood and a string of unrealized film projects, Dalí was approached by director Fritz Lang to create a hallucinatory nightmare sequence illustrating the effects of alcohol and a guilty conscience. Like Dalí, Lang was familiar with Freudian theory, and he possessed a more somber, psychoanalytic worldview than most of his Hollywood counterparts. Dalí made numerous preparatory illustrations, each imbued with Surrealist nuances of metamorphosis, dislocation, and juxtaposition. Production on the film began just days before the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, an event that precipitated a shift away from Hollywood films with grim and sorrowful endings. Archie Mayo replaced Lang as director, and Dalí's designs were not used. The only nod to Dalí and Surrealism in the nightmare sequence is the disappearance of the seductress's head.

Members of Teamgreyhat (TGH) managed to breach the website of India's most famous self-proclaimed ethical hacker, Ankit Fadia.
Ankit Fadia offers Ankit Fadia Certified Ethical Hacker (AFCEH) certificates to those who take his courses on ethical hacking, where he gives lectures on security tools, techniques and methods.
The hackers that allegedly breached his website claim that the "world-renowned Computer Security Guru" doesn't secure his website, allowing them to obtain sensitive database data, including passwords and student details.
"In short this kiddy has not only foolished innocent people also media and many big authorities. This Lamar is running a security training called AFCEH. ankit faida certified....my question is when and from where you get your certificate???" the hackers write in their statement.
Voice of Grey Hat also provided some screenshots to prove that the hackers gained access to Ankit Fadia's website.
I have contacted Ankit Fadia to see what he has to say on the matter, so stay tuned to find out more.

Microcontroller-Based Serial Data Transfer To PC
T. Shankar And S. Thangamani
Communication from or to a computer has become almost essential in our day-to-day lives. Though we can execute many programs within a computer itself, it will not be of much use without outside communication.
Author's prototype
The basic elements of a communication are:
1. A sender (source) that creates the message to be transmitted
2. A medium that carries the message
3. A receiver (sink) that receives the message
There are two types of communications— parallel and serial. Parallel data transfer can be made through an 8-bit data line for faster communication.
Serial communication is often used to control or receive data from a microcontroller. It is a form of input/output (I/O) in which the bits of a byte being transferred appear one after the other in a timed sequence on a single wire. Serial data transfer is made through a serial link between the micrcontroller and the PC using RS-232C.
Fig.1 show the waveform on a single conductor to transmit a byte (say, 0x41) serially. The upper waveform is the TTL-level waveform at the transmit pin of the microcontroller (AT89S52). The lower waveform is the same waveform converted by the RS-232 driver (MAX232) into RS-232C level. The to assure error-free transmission over greater distances than would be possible with TTL levels.
Fig.1. Serial Waveform
Each byte is preceded by a start bit and followed by a stop bit. The start and stop bits are used to synchronise the serial receivers. The data byte is always transmitted with least-significant bit (LSB) first. For error checking, it is possible to include a parity bit as well, just prior to the stop bit.
The bits are transmitted at specific time intervals determined by the baud rate of the serial signal. The baud rate is the reciprocal of the time to send one bit. Error-free serial communication requires the baud rate, number of data bits, number of stop bits, and presence or absence of a parity bit to be the same at the transmitter and receiver ends.
Circuit description
Fig.2 shows the circuit for microcontroller- based serial data transfer to a PC. It comprises microcontroller AT89S52, RS-232 driver MAX232, regulator 7805 and a few discrete components.The microcontroller detects the switch pressed and the message is transmitted to the computer through the RS-232 driver.
Fig.2:Circuit for microcontroller-based serial
data transfer to a PC
The AT89S52 is a low-power, high performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller. It has 8 kB of Flash, 256 bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, a watchdog timer, two data pointers, three 16-bit timers/counters, a six-vector two level interrupt architecture, a full-duplex serial port, and on chip oscillator and clock circuitry. In addition, the AT89S52 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero frequency and supports two software-selectable power-saving modes. The idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the RAM, timers/counters, serial port and interrupt system to continue functioning. The power - down mode saves the RAM contents but freezes the oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset.
Port pins P2.0 through P2.7 are pulled high by resistor network RNW1 and also connected to switches S1 through S8, respectively. An 11.0592MHz crystal is used for providing the basic clock frequency. All I/O pins are reset to '1' as soon as RST pin goes high. Holding RST pin high for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running, resets the device. Power-on reset is derived from resistor R2 and capacitor C6. Switch S9 is used for manual reset.
The microcontroller provides a transmit channel and a receive channel for serial communication. The transmit data pin (TXD) is specified at port pin P3.1, and the receive data pin (RXD) is at port pin P3.0. RXD and TXD pins of the microcontroller are connected to TOUT (pin 7) and RIN (pin 8) of the MAX232, respectively. TIN (pin 10) and ROUT (pin 9) of IC2 are connected to pins 2 and 3 of the COM port connector, respectively. The signals provided on these pins are TTL-level and must be boosted and inverted through a MAX232 converter to comply with the RS-232 standard.
The MAX232 has two internal charge-pumps that convert +5V into ±10V (unloaded) for RS-232 driver operation. The first converter uses capacitor C7 to double the +5V input to +10V on capacitor C9 at pin 2. The second converter uses capacitor C8 to invert +10V to -10V on capacitor C10 at pin 6.
All the serial communication is controlled through special function register SCON. This register contains mode-selection bits, ninth data bit for transmit and receive (TB8 and RB8), and serial-port interrupt bits (TI and RI). Serial communication requires standard baud rate. Timer 1 is configured in the auto-reload mode to generate the baud rate. The baud rate is determined as:
Construction and testing
Baud rate = (2SMOD × Oscillator frequency)/( 32×12×(256 - TH1))
To derive the power supply, the 230V AC mains is stepped down by transformer X1 to deliver the secondary output of 9V, 300 mA. The transformer output is rectified by a full-wave bridge rectifier comprising diodes D1 through D4, filtered by capacitor C1 and then regulated by IC 7805 (IC3). Capacitor C2 bypasses the ripples present in the regulated 5V power supply. LED1 acts as the poweron indicator and resistor R1 limits the current through LED1.
An actual-size, single-side PCB for microcontroller-based serial data transfer circuit is shown in Fig.3(View as PDF) and its component layout in Fig.4(View as PDF). Assemble the circuit on the PCB to minimise assemble the components and double- check for any overlooked error. Connect the assembled circuit to the COM port available at the back side of a computer. The information stored in the microcontroller is sent to the PC through the COM port using the HyperTerminal program.
Fig.5: HyPerterminal window
for name and icon
To open the HyperTerminal program, go to Start → Programs → Accessories → Communications → HyperTerminal. You will see a window as shown in Fig. 5. Type in the desired name and click 'ok.' Select a COM port (refer Fig.6) while ignoring the other options and click 'ok.'
Fig.6: HyPerterminal window for COM port selection
Now select the baud rate as '9600,' data bits as '8,' parity as 'none,' stop bits as '1' and flow control as 'none,' and click 'ok' (refer Fig.7).
Fig.7: HyPerterminal window for selection of baud
rate, data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control
When you press switches S1 through S8, the microcontroller sends the stored message and you will see the message appear on the screen as shown in Fig.8.
Fig.8: Message on HyPerterminal screen
The software for this project is given at the end of this article. It is written in 'C' language and compiled using Keil μ Vision3 compiler. The finally obtained '.hex' file is downloaded to the microcontroller using a suitable programmer. The source program is well commented and easy to understand.
In the software, first enable timer and serial interrupts. Then configure the timer by mode and reload value to give the correct speed (9600 bits per second). Next, make the transmit interrupt 1 (TI) move the data to SCON. SCON will give the necessary UART signal and your data will be sent serially.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- There was a 29 percent increase in arrests of poachers in Minnesota from 2011 to 2012. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reports that the number of tip calls to their Turn In Poachers (TIP) hotline increased by 54 percent.
The TIP line calls referred to conservation officers was 2,051 in 2012 as compared with 1,328 in 2011. This broke the previous record of 1,866 in 1981 when the TIP line was founded.
Last year's calls led to 359 arrests, mostly related to deer, fish and waterfowl violations.
DNR Enforcement Officer Jim Konrad says "A conservation officer has only one set of eyes and covers 650 square miles. If the public is concerned about natural resources, every person is another set of eyes that can help catch those violating the law."
Since 1981 the TIP hotline has fielded thousands of reports of fish and wildlife violations, paying out nearly $358,000 in cash rewards that lead to arrests. Nearly half of informants turn the reward down.
Anyone witnessing a fish or wildlife violation is encouraged to contact the nearest conservation officer, law enforcement agency or the 24 hour toll-free TIP hotline at 800-652-9093. Cell phone users can dial #TIP.

And there is nothing they can do about it with the court system……… Let this anger still in my Mom's heart more so to go and heal her anguish!!!!
Help my dear 20 year landlady upstairs to sell this house on 9 Yager Street in Binghamton, NY through 21st century real estate.

The Innovation and Knowledge Centres will foster an entrepreneurial environment where ground-breaking research can mix at an early stage with business and, in some cases, the customer to provide a clear commercial strategy for accelerating its exploitation.
Focussing on exciting and emerging research areas, fast-tracking sophisticated technologies will bring a 'first-mover' advantage in an area of already proven commercial opportunity.
The centres will ensure the UK is able to capitalise fully on the research, generating significant local and national benefits. The centres will become 'self-financing' within five years.
The centres will also provide opportunities for students to develop, with Leeds's centre alone offering opportunities for 50 innovation fellows and 50 innovation PhDs.

Shop 'til You Drop (But Not of Embarrassment)
Sometimes, when shopping for clothes alone, I feel awkward. Not having friends to rely on or ask for advice from can be difficult. Not to mention the clothing store clerks might ask me questions that I'm not prepared to answer, such as, "Are you looking for anything particular?" "Do you want that in another size?" or "How are you?" I just want them to leave me alone. When I shop, it's me time. I need to focus on the task at hand and that means no interruptions, no trick questions and no awkward encounters. Here's how I do it.
Get the Look:
First things first: when you walk into the store, put on a look that says, "I mean business. I'm not going to stop my shopping to answer your stupid questions and no matter how much I look like I want/need help. Trust me, I don't." This look could be different for everyone. Ideally, for me, I would like to wear sunglasses and a scarf around my mouth because my eyes and mouth don't read seriousness as I shop. Instead they read pure joy, excitement and more than a little bit crazy. If salespeople see this, they trip over themselves trying to talk to me. I need to cover up my elation. Other options include squinting your eyes, but only a little, because if you squint too much you run the risk of looking confused and or impairing your vision, which will only result in an awkward physical confrontation. You could also wear a large hat and if it's cold maybe one of those snow hat facemasks if you really need to cover up.
Know the Layout:
When I went to NYU, I would stop at Forever 21 pretty much every day, which was kind of stupid since they don't change their inventory that frequently but I had to procrastinate some way and whatever, I'm seriously proud of the fact that I knew that store like the back of my hand.
Of course, I worried that the people working there would start to recognize me. To avoid the awkward encounter of "Wow, you come here all the time", I suggest using my previous technique and change up your serious look every day. For example, do the squint Monday, large hat on Tuesday, sunglasses and scarf on Wednesday, squint with a scarf on Thursday and maybe try to take a break on Friday, that will give you ample time to update your look, try a new store and/or have the sales people forget about you.
Be Prepared and Be Resourceful:
When I shop I tend to go a little crazy and pick up way more clothes than I can reasonably handle. This results in salespeople looking at me and asking if I need help. So, I suggest go into the store with a certain item in mind. Not only will this result in wasting less money but it will also result in fewer awkward stares. It's also easier on your arm muscles.
Another problem I run into is a result of being short. I'm often unable to reach an article of clothing that I want. This issue combined with the fact that I hate asking for help can make shopping difficult. But, do I let this little problem deter me from getting what I want? Hell no, it just adds to the challenge and thrill of shopping. This complication actually inspires me; it's what I live for! No clothing or accessory is too high for me. As stand on my tippy toes, using a hook I found lying on the ground, connected with another hook I found lying on the ground, reaching and getting a hold of that beautiful top that's only $12, I call myself, "Lil' MacGyver" because I'd like to think I'm just like him if he were smaller and uncomfortable in social situations.
With these tips you are now prepared to shop with your new best accessory: total confidence, leaving that awkwardness at the door.

Tampa, Florida -- A Tampa man has been found guilty in federal court of nine counts of drugging young men to rape and torture them.
Two of the victims of Steven Lorenzo ended up dead, and he is likely to face murder charges in state court later.
The jury deliberated about three hours over two days before finding Lorenzo guilty of slipping date rape drug GHB into the drinks of all nine victims and then sexually torturing them at his home.
The seven surviving victims all testified about meeting Lorenzo at bars and either losing track of their drinks or having Lorenzo serve them drinks before they lost consciousness. The men woke up naked and in pain, some remembering bondage or forced sex, and others having almost no memory of what happened.
Lorenzo's attorney argued that the sex acts were consensual.
Lorenzo was found guilty on nine counts of drug charges and one count of conspiracy. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Sentencing is scheduled for January 27 of next year.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Research In Motion Ltd. lost much of its remaining support on Wall Street Friday after the company took down its estimates for the May quarter, leaving some to wonder whether the wireless-device maker can win back support from investors who have been burned by the stock this year.
The warning issued Thursday afternoon sent RIM's shares plunging 14% to their lowest level in six months to close at $48.65. The stock has shed about 30% of its value since mid-February.
The problem facing Research In Motion RIMM RIMM (RIM) is competition — despite the fact that the overall market for smartphones is booming around the world. IDC predicts that the global smartphone market will grow nearly 50% this year; it also predicted in a report last month that RIM's share of the market is expected to slip to third place by 2015.
RIM's pioneering BlackBerry platform is beginning to show its age, according to analysts. "Right now, people look at BlackBerry as great for messaging, but you don't hear the same sort of entertainment and multimedia stories out there," said IDC analyst Ramon Llamas in an interview Friday.
RIM shares tumble on warning
Research In Motion warned of slack sales for its BlackBerry smartphones in the current quarter, sending its shares plunging. Roger Cheng has details.
Llamas was contrasting the BlackBerry with rival platforms, such as the popular iOS operating system from Apple Inc. AAPL, +2.39% that powers its iPhone and iPad devices.
Another big gainer in the smartphone market has been the Android operating system developed by Google Inc. GOOG, +0.70% which has helped equipment vendors such as Samsung SSNLF, +14.29% ZTE ZTCOY, -1.52% (763) and Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. MMI, -0.76% in both developed markets and emerging ones such as China and Latin America.
"Consumers are voting with their dollars, and they're being spent in Apple stores and on Google's Android platform," wrote Kris Thompson of National Bank, one of five brokers to downgrade RIM shares Friday.
With the company's recent warning, all eyes are now on RIM's upcoming update to its platform, now dubbed BlackBerry 7. The company plans to give analysts and developers a peak at the new operating system — and possibly some new devices — at its worldwide developer conference next week.
"You guys will see some very interesting things, I believe," RIM co-Chief Executive Jim Balsillie said on a conference call Thursday afternoon. "We won't slowly tantalize these."
Throwing in the towel
Waterloo, Ontario-based Research In Motion has been a controversial stock on Wall Street for the last year, with analysts sharply divided on the company's potential for mounting a recovery in the smartphone market that its BlackBerry helped to pioneer.
But RIM lost a lot of support following Thursday's warning. Five brokers removed their buy ratings on the shares — with two flipping over to sell calls. Two-thirds of the analyst base covering the stock now rate RIM shares as a sell or neutral.
"We were wrong," wrote Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co., who downgraded the stock from buy to underperform.
Misek believes the company's BlackBerry 7 update will not show up in products until late in the August quarter at the earliest, and that carriers will be reluctant to support the platform, as the company plans to launch other new devices on the QNX operating system that currently powers its PlayBook tablet sometime next year.
"We think BlackBerry OS 7.0 will lack broad developer and carrier support, as no QNX kernel means no Android-app portability, and [carriers] will be reluctant to reinvest in a platform that is supposed to be replaced by QNX in a few months," he wrote.
Another big drawback for the company was the fact that it cut its forecast for the first fiscal quarter ending in May, just a month after issuing initial guidance for the period. That guidance also was below Wall Street's estimates at the time, giving RIM a credibility problem with many brokers.

Is the study of Applied Behavior Analysis right for me?
If you're interested in helping people achieve a well-balanced lifestyle to the maximum extent possible, then Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is for you. If you want to learn how to use techniques grounded in behavioral principles such as positive reinforcement and precision teaching, ABA is for you.
What is a Behavior Analyst?
An Applied Behavior Analyst is someone who has in-depth knowledge of the field and methods of the study of the science of behavior. Behavior analysis services help people learn new behaviors, increase or reduce existing behaviors, and teach individuals when to use specific behaviors in specific instances. The scope of these services ranges from addressing challenging behaviors of an individual person to changing the behavior of an entire organization or community.
Who should apply?
This program is specifically designed for individuals with a background in education or human services who are interested in becoming board Certified Behavior Analysts. However, anyone with an interest in learning about interventions to produce lasting change in behavior will find this program to be extremely useful.
Am I eligible to pursue a Behavioral Analyst Certification?
You must have a master's degree in:
- Education
- Clinical, counseling, or school psychology
- Clinical social work
- Occupational therapy
- Speech/language therapy
- Engineering
- Medicine
If your master's degree is not on this list, it may be approved by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB). It just needs to be submitted for approval.
Be enrolled in a master's program in one of the disciplines outlined above
or submitted for approval to the BACB.
What are the requirements to earn a Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB)?
- Master's degree is the minimum
- Pass the entire exam
Who is teaching the courses?
Faculty is practicing BACAs. All are currently active in the field.
What is special about the UW-Platteville Office of Continuing Education program?
We currently are the only freestanding Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB) program in the State of Wisconsin. We can serve as a "wrap around" program if you are currently enrolled in a graduate program at another university or we can serve you if you are currently a practitioner looking to upgrade your skills, employment options, and income. Our hybrid online format offers you convenience as well as face-to-face contact with your instructors WITHOUT coming to Platteville.
What is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst* (BCBA* or BCBA-D*)?
The BCBA and BCBA-D are independent practitioners who also may work as employees or independent contractors for an organization. The BCBA conducts descriptive and systematic behavioral assessments, including functional analyses, and provides behavior analytic interpretations of the results. The BCBA designs and supervises behavior analytic interventions. The ABCBA is able to effectively develop and implement appropriate assessment and intervention methods for use in unfamiliar situations and for a range of cases. The BCBA seeks the consultation of more experienced practitioners when necessary. The BBNA teaches others to carry out ethical and effective behavior analytic interventions based on published research and designs and delivers instruction in behavior analysis. BCBAs supervise the work of Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts and others who implement behavior analytic interventions.
What is the short version of Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) requirements?
- Master's degree is minimum
- Pass the entire BACB exam
Is this Behavior Analysis Certification Board Program Accredited?
Behavior Analysis Certification Board Programs are widely accredited. Accreditation agencies include: National Council for Certifying Agencies in Washington, DC (NCCA is the accreditation body of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence); Division 25 of the American Psychological Association; Association of Professional Behavior Analysts; Association for Behavior Analysis International; European Association for Behavior Analysis.
Why is International Certification Important?
It is your guarantee that you can basically go anywhere in the world and work as a Certified Behavior Analyst.
What about Wisconsin Licensure?
Wisconsin Act 282 established "Behavior Analyst" as a licensed profession. Licensure requires obtaining the BCBA or BCBA-D and makes one eligible for insurance reimbursement under the Autism Mandate.
How much can I earn as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) professional?
That really depends on your expertise, experience, and education and position. Here are some examples of BCBA certified professionals and their median salaries:
- Applied Behavior Analyst $57,777
- Consultant, Education/Training $53,000
- Clinical Psychologist $73,000
- Director, Clinical Services $63,000
- Special Ed Teacher, PK, K, Elementary $42,000
- ABA Home Therapist $40,000
What is the career outlook for a Behavior Analyst / Specialist who specializes in autism?
The demand for behavior analysts who specialize in autism far exceeds the number of persons with the expertise required to provide effective ABA programs. The diagnosis of autism is increasing rapidly. More than 500,000 individuals under the age of 21 are currently diagnosed with autism. According to the U.S department of education, autism is expected to have a continued growth rate of 10-17 percent annually. The centers for disease control estimates an increase from 1 in 150 to 110 children have an autism spectrum disorder. Such dramatic numbers and a shortage of qualified autism specialists create a strong demand for trained professionals.
What are the advantages of the UW-Platteville Office of Continuing Education Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB) program?
There are five reasons:
- We are currently the only stand-alone program in the state. Thus we can serve graduate students from around the state as well as current practitioners with master's degrees.
- Flexible course schedules are sensitive to cohort members' lives.
- Online instruction combined with face-to-face components optimizes learning.
- Faculty are practicing BABAs—we are currently active in the field providing the services for which students are being prepared.
- You will be taught by those who supervise you. Course instructors will fine tune your skills in the field.
