Dear Real Estate Adviser,
I've been laid off but have found work in another state where I have relatives. But I would like to keep my townhouse, which is now in foreclosure, as a rental property. How likely is the bank to modify my mortgage for this purpose?

Not very. Banks haven't exactly been rushing to modify loans these days for numerous reasons, and it's quite unlikely your bank would convert your in-default mortgage at this point to a business/investment loan for a rental.
Dear Real Estate Adviser,
I've been laid off but have found work in another state where I have relatives. But I would like to keep my townhouse, which is now in foreclosure, as a rental property. How likely is the bank to modify my mortgage for this purpose?
-- Alberta
Dear Alberta,
Not very. Banks haven't exactly been rushing to modify loans these days for numerous reasons, and it's quite unlikely your bank would convert your in-default mortgage at this point to a business/investment loan for a rental.
That said, thousands of distressed U.S. homeowners are going this route without notifying the lender, rationalizing that they have nothing to lose. If you do have an owner-occupied mortgage, which is very likely (check the paperwork), the bank could conceivably call that loan if they discover you converted the place into a rental, though it would have little motivation to do so because of the revenue stream. You would definitely need to let your insurer know what's going on, however, so you can change the policy to either a non-owner-occupied status or a landlord/fire policy.
I can't come right out and advocate that you do this because of the potentially tenuous position in which it can put your renters. If you do it, though, at least alert the prospective tenants of the home's status but assure them they now have some protection under the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009, a federal law which allows renters to stay in a foreclosed home for the duration of their leases. Tenants on a month-to-month lease can stay put at least 90 days from the date they receive an eviction notice under the law. It's also worth knowing that rents are on the rise nationally while home values are not, so investors have been vigorously snapping up cheap foreclosures to make them rentals.
First, though, ponder these issues. How much of a loss, if any, can you suffer each month between what you'd get in rent and the requisite mortgage payment? That might determine how viable this scenario would be. Moreover, are you sure you want to become an absentee landlord? That is, can you afford to hire a property management company or at least someone competent to administer the property and make repairs (on your dime) when something major such as the central air conditioning breaks down? Given your situation, the answers are probably no. Plus, some unsavory tenants of foreclosed rental homes will presume that the owners don't have the financial wherewithal to evict them and try to stay rent-free for as long as possible.
Certain banks, by the way, are rolling out a different version of the foreclosure-to-rental conversion program in select markets. Bank of America, for one, has announced it is forgiving the mortgages of some distressed borrowers in Arizona, Nevada and New York in return for a deed in lieu of foreclosure from them. The bank then rents the houses back to the in-arrears occupants for a while before selling the properties to investors. The Federal Reserve is encouraging these deals by offering Community Reinvestment Act credits to banks. Because you're moving, this wouldn't apply to you.
Good luck in your decision and your new job and home!

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, April 25, 2013
APPLING, Ga. (WRDW) -- Starting May 15, it won't matter if you're behind the wheel of a car or on a boat, the legal limit of alcohol allowed in your system will be the same. Gov. Nathan Deal just signed a tougher new boater safety law to lower the blood alcohol limit to .08.
Many people are actually happy to see the limit come down. The Department of Natural Resources says even though BUIs will probably go up, they're hoping the new law will help tragedies on the lake come down.
"We come out here to have a good time not get hurt," explained boater Scott McCurley.
Having a good time is the ultimate goal of a day on the lake, and the same reason Gov. Deal just signed a new law about boater safety.
"I think it's a great thing. I think the lakes are getting more crowded now, and they need more laws to keep people from getting hurt," McCurley said.
"It's like singing when you're drinking. Everybody sings better when they had a drink, and everyone thinks they can drive better and boat better when they've had a drink, and actually the opposite is true," explained Flotilla Commander Jim McMenamin, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Last year, there were 118 boating accidents across the state of Georgia. Twelve of them were fatal; five involved alcohol. With this new law, officers hope these numbers will go down.
"They are going to enhance boater safety on the lake and perhaps make everyone's job a little bit easier," McMenamin said.
One number that probably won't go down -- BUIs. Georgia gave out 180 BUIs last year, and DNR expects that number will rise. But as that number increases, hopefully so will people's safety on the water.
McCurley knows how important that can be. He lost an uncle in a drowning.
"Somebody has to be responsible. It's not like in a car. You may have to save somebody from drowning," he said.
Drowning is a tragedy the law is also trying to address.
"It's going to change some of the rules of personal watercraft. It's also going to change some of the life jacket rules. If you're under 13, you have to wear a life jacket now and that's a bit of a change," McMenamin said.
The law also requires a boater safety education course for boaters born after Jan. 1, 1998. DNR is offering the classes for free. You can find the information on their website.
The law comes after some deadly accidents at Lake Lanier, and each part of the law is named after a child who died on the lake.
Plus, this change finally makes the alcohol limit the same in Georgia and South Carolina.

But the smaller guys put on a good show
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Downtown Minneapolis was the site where ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights" made its season debut last week. "This city has a lot of boxing history," said Warriors Boxing Promotions COO Luis DeCubas at the January 2 pre-fight press conference at a downtown Minneapolis restaurant. "Tonight is a very special night," noted former KFAN host Henry Lake, now hosting a daily midday show on a Kansas City sports station while sitting in one of those VIP ringside seats during the January 3 eight-bout card, which featured several local boxers. "A 'W' is a 'W,'" declared Minneapolis welterweight Javantae Starks, who improved to 8-0 after his split-decision win over previously unbeaten Limberth Ponce of Rock Island, Ill. "I didn't understand the split decision at all," added Starks, who knocked down Ponce early in their six-round fight. Continue Reading →

This week Gerald Kitabu talked to Menga Daudi, a canoe owner plying in Lake Tanganyika, on problems of transport in the world's deepest water land mass. Excerpts:
QUESTION: What are the problems of transport in the lake?
ANSWER: Canoe is the main transport system for all people and students living in or along Lake Tanganyika. People from Kirando, Kipili, Korongwe and Kabwe wards all depend on this type of transport.
This transport has been there since independence in 1961.
So, residents have been used to it despite all the problems associated with it. As it is to any other type of transport, sometimes when the canoe capsizes, it claims passengers' lives. Another problem is that many canoes are made up of wood which allows water to penetrate easily and cause problems.
Some canoes are dilapidated, they have engines but if heavily loaded with goods they may sink or loose direction. In very rare cases, fierce aquatic animals such as snakes, crocodiles and hippopotamus are also threats to passengers.
As for children and school pupils, water transport is a very big problem due to lack of boats to ferry them to school. For example, from Mvuna to Mandakerenge where there is a school, it takes 30 minutes by canoe to reach the school while the fare to and fro is 1,000/-, which many parents are unable to pay.
The pupils find it difficult to catch up with classes because the canoe leaves Mvuna at 9.30am and arrives at Mandakerenge at 10.00am, which is break time."
Some parents, who tried to rent houses for accommodating their children while at school, usually face another challenge: to hire people from Mandakerenge island to look after their children which many parents fail.
If you hire a person to look after your child, you will need to pay for a house rent, pay him or her monthly salary, give him breakfast and two meals which are very expensive.
Generally, students living in the lake's islands have very poor performance in class and others are discouraged by the poor system of transport. However, few years ago, the government banned drug-nets which were used by ordinary people to fish and earn regular income. So, after banning the use of drug-nets by the government, many parents have remained poor because they don't have alternative source of income and their children have dropped out of school due to lack of school fees.
So, we would like to ask the government to improve transport system in Lake Tanganyika.
Q: Have you ever experienced any disaster?
A: As I said earlier, sometimes disasters occur although in rare cases. For example, in 2010 a canoe capsized, five people were killed and several others injured. The most serious disaster happened on December 4, 2009 when a powerful wind moving at a high speed on the lake for more than three hours destroyed more than 25 canoes and several houses. What's bad, the disaster happened at night when everybody was asleep.
Q: What attracted you to work as a canoe conductor given all these risks?
A: Many youth are involved in such risky works not because they like but because of lack of employment. Rukwa region is very fertile.
It is one of the big four but it lacks good roads. So, even if one cultivates crops, the profit is very little because of transport costs and lack of farm inputs.
That's why some youth find it easier to be conductors rather than engage in farming. So, I ventured in this job because I had no any other alternative source of income.
Q: For how long have you been a canoe conductor?
A: I have an experience of more than five years now. I thank God that through out my service as a canoe conductor, I had never faced any big problem.
Q: So, what is your advice?
A: Government should help to solve transport problems in Lake Tanganyika. If you look at the problems faced by school pupils and other passengers, one cannot believe.
The nature of these Islands forces the residents to depend on water transport system, because there are no roads. Using canoe for transport is risky.
So, the government should look at this part of the country and help these residents by purchasing modern boats which are safer and secure for students and other passengers.

HP TouchPad 16GB ($99) and 32GB ($149) Selloff- Starts 8/20
HERE'S THE DEAL! HP recently announced TouchPads are being discontinued, and retailers can't get rid of stock, thus the price cuts. Don't be surprised to see retailers match these prices (Best Buy, Amazon). Best Buy in Canada has already slashed their prices on these tablets. BB Canada Link, which ends 8/22/2011: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/hewlett-packard-hp-16gb-touchpad-with-wi-fi-16gb-wifi/10173116.aspx?path=24aa74e36d1cba4ce76fdd5a9f3298cfen02

@dman244: I'm wondering if the discount is by type you select on registering. I just registered and selected the alumni button, and touchpad is showing only meager discounts at the moment.
Still, very cool that I can get any discount at all just by graduating college. I don't think I could still get away with claiming to be a student.
The 32GB version has showed up as 149 as hp academy price, then take 15 off and it's 134. Is this good?
@kalfred02: Very, you can use cashback too. Check my earlier comment.
How are you registered on HP Academy though, as a college student? please tell
@kalfred02: I'd say so. Still shows 474.99 for me.
Can anyone post their HP Academy link? Wondering if it is different from mine, really fearing that the discount only shows up if you are registered as being a current student.
@kalfred02: says $474 for me
Just snagged the 32gb model at the HP academy site for $149.
I registered as a student (and I am one) still shows $379 for the 16Gb and $474 for 32GB
@apfrehm: im a student and shows at $474.99 for me
How the hell are you guys getting it at the discounted price? It is still coming up as the standard price for me.
@kaisterbahn: like to know how please
I'm a university instructor, legit. So, the thing is... it first showed 149, and I didn't realize what was going on... then i removed it from my cart, and all I could find was 499, THEN i was like...oh no! So, i went back on my browser to the time that the 149 one was added, and it worked, it's currently in my cart at the cheaper price. Still nervous about buying it and whether or not it's a good tablet just in general.
@dman244: cool, thanks.
Too much commotion going on with this though. I'm sure there will be better deals later ...now I feel better.
Lol, tried to sign up for HP Academy but my college isn't even listed and it's accredited. Bastards.
Maybe I'm going about it wrong then... What about time zone? I'm in PST. Is anyone ordering from HP Academy that is east of EST, meaning already midnight? It would be insane (meaning awful for me personally) if they did it as a rolling change, rather than shifting at midnight in a given timezone, but that is a possibility.
Beyond that, I've got no idea why it would show up differently for different people.
still on hold ftr. HAHA
@kalfred02: If you are worried about price issues, buy it at displayed price. If they raise the price, I'm sure you can get it cancelled. If they don't, you still win.
The thing is, this is still a functional tablet. The hardware is amazing for $149, even if nobody ever gets Android on it. But I guarantee that that's on the mind of a LOT of people right now, and if anyone succeeds, this will be by far the best sub-$300 (damn, sub-$200!) Android tablet for a good while.
@apfrehm: how would that even work? its a html code, it would be horrifically complex to create code that would decipher your time zone, than give you a different price.
Urgh I added it to my cart when it was 100 and then was charged 398.00 at Amazon! I was on the chat with AMAZON customer service WHO WILL NOT HONOR OR ADJUST THE PRICE! While waiting I saw the Target price go buy and did nothing grrrr! So they cancelled my order
@maddwakester: Location tracking is getting more and more trivial. If anything, they could do a best-guess by IP. While not perfect, it would probably be close enough for most time zones.
I understand that the likelihood is low, but that's the only guess I have left at this point as to why some people can go and see $149, and others can see $474.99. The different registration types have been ruled out.
The 16GB are sold out on HP website, but I just got two 32GB under an EPP/Academic account for a total of $317.98 ($149.99 each plus tax). It's real, it's true, and it's coming to all stores I'm certain.
@apfrehm: or they are trollz getting a good lolz at us
20 minutes everyone!
@czupik: I'm logged into the student Academy site. They still show up as 400+ depending on the route I go into view the item. I went from the HP homepage and it shows up as 150.
@bdaul: What part of the country are you in? (We're trying to figure out why some people see the lowered price and some don't see it)
@maddwakester: Good possibility, I hope not.
@dman244: I'm EST. I originally saw the $499 price, but I hit the 'HP' logo at the top left corner (basically starting over) and navigated to the tablets. I think the tablet overview page still showed regular price, but when I hit the 32GB page it showed $149.99.
@bdaul: YES! This method worked for me, thanks so much! I see the price change now!
im not seeing anything
@kaisterbahn: Nice work, got mine! But I forgot to use the $15 off code!!!! IDIOT!
@aobfrost: Didn't work for me
@bdaul: IT WORKS!
If you add something cheap like a pack of paper for $5, then you can use the save30hp coupon and get and extra $10 off from the save15hp coupon
I just bought the 32gb and a pack of paper (as a filler to qualify for more discounts) for a total of $134.87 Here: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/store_access.do?product_code=FB359UA%23ABA&template_type=product_detail&jumpid=ex_r11614_us/en/HHO_r329/Affiliate/FY11/TouchPad&aoid=35252
Also, follow the tips here to get further discounts: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?s=652f2af49b698aaac5a007ef699c50cb&t=3220862#edit41815736
@bdaul: didnt work for me dang it
@bdaul: You did it! Waiting for the order confirmation to finish, but Paypal already sent me the payment email, so looking good!
Under $150 after tax for the 32GB. Now to start praying that someone hacks Android on this, fast.
I'm seeing $399. Atlanta, GA 11:52 PM EST
No go for me, as well.
5 more minutes till midnight, hoping the 16GB's go back in stock.
@aobfrost: where...amazon, bb, walmart????
ok, HP said the 16 is sold out. You can get the 32g for the 150 BUT they charge your card the full non-sale price, then refund your card in 3-5 business days. Super glad I sat on hold for what felt like the entire night!
Can't get the sale price to appear anymore. I haven't received a confirmation email yet but I have my order number from the confirmation screen. Sure hope the order doesn't get cancelled or anything.
It worked for my entire family
@hemi71cuda: It does the same to me, depending on how you look access the page.
If you see full price in cart you should call and stay on hold til you get through or the 32 gb will be sold out too and you'll be sayin huh?
30 seconds till midnight!
Is the 30GB model even worth $150? I really want a tablet, but...
got an order through at the 149 waiting for confirmation email
12:01AM, Still out of stock!
Anyone seeing any difference after Midnight EST?

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The three checkpoints set up for the second night of Operation Thunder netted 112 traffic citations, including 28 DUIs.
The checkpoints were at the intersections of Windsor Spring Road and Crosscreek Road, Calhoun Expressway at Eve Street and Skinner Mill Road at Dorchester Drive.
Citations issued on Saturday night:
Additional arrests were made:
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Feb. 15, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Operation Thunder started on Thursday night, and in the first night alone, law enforcement handed out more than 140 citations, including 11 DUIs.
And they're planning to keep their eyes on the streets all weekend.
"We actually found a 2-year-old sitting on the floor board of the car," said Lt. Lewis Blanchard.
Proper child restraints, safety belts and driving under the influence are all things Richmond County and the Governor's Office of Highway Safety looked for at the safety check point on Windsor Road.
This is night two of Operation Thunder, a 90-day program that will increase patrols along the road of Richmond County.
"Our biggest concern is last year, Richmond County Sheriff's Office made 44 death notifications due to accidents on our roadways," Lt. Blanchard said.
And they are looking to make a huge dent in those numbers. They've already made huge strides in one night.
"We had 11 DUIs, we had some drug cases [and] we actually got some people on some outstanding warrants," Blanchard said.
All from a routine safety check.
"Our main goal is safety. The reduction of accidents, injuries and deaths," Blanchard said. "Forty-four deaths in our county alone last year is completely unacceptable."
That's a number they're fighting to reduce, which is something people on the roads have definitely noticed.
"By driving down the roads here, you see you people [are] flying," said Arthur Gaddist, who lives in Richmond County.
Even though these safety stops are slowing traffic, Gaddist says he's glad to see them.
"I think it's a good idea to have people on alert to watch the speed limit," Gaddist said.

UPDATE: Friday – 2/15/2013, 5:20pm ET – WASHINGTON – Police have charged a man in connection with the explosion at a Lorton deli after he left a burn unit for treatment.
Horace Thompson, 25, of no fixed address, was arrested by D.C. police on a fugitive warrant after Thompson was released from the Washington Burn Center Thursday, Fairfax County police say.
Thompson faces charges of arson of an occupied building and aggravated malicious wounding.
He will have an extradition hearing before he would be returned to Fairfax County, police say.
UPDATE: Thursday – 2/7/2013, 10:08am ET – WASHINGTON – The firebombing that resulted in an explosion at a Lorton, Va., deli Wednesday caused $100,000 in damage, according to the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department.
No arrests have been made in connection with the fire and explosion at the Sub Shop deli at 9504 Richmond Highway.
An employee at the shop sustained burns in the 10:25 a.m. fire. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to Washington Hospital Center. NBC Washington says the man injured was the deli's owner.
Police used helicopters and police dogs to search for a man seen running from the scene at the time of the explosion, says Fairfax County police spokesman Don Gotthardt.
While firefighters quickly controlled the blaze, the explosion broke the store's window.
Only the restaurant incurred fire damage. Other buildings in the shopping center experienced smoke damage.
Investigators are asking for the public's help in finding who is responsible.
Information can be called in to Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477 or e-mailed anonymously to Crime Solvers. You can text "TIP187″ plus your message to CRIMES/274637. Or, you can call 703-691-2131 and ask for the duty investigator at the fire marshal's office.

(d) Participations in credits
References in any law to credits extended under this section shall be deemed to include reference to participations in credits.
(e) Payments on account of prior credits or loans

The seventh Map-of-the-Week release offers the remaining dungeon upper levels plans for the lair of the dark draug Málgurð. In the Jörðgarð campaign setting, a dark draug is very similar to a high-powered lich in such OGL 3.5 games as the Pathfinder (R) RPG, the True20 (TM) system or Dungeons & Dragons (R) 3.5.
Málgurð's small dungeon consists of a tower for the draug magi and a shabbily restored mill building that's the lair of the orcs who serve Málgurð and his subservient reds draugs. This week, the floor plans for the tower show the the upper floor of the old mill building where Málgurð's orcs lair and the three upper levels of Málgurð's tower.
The second level (European first floor) view of the main building shows the mostly unused mill chute area at the top and the workshop of the orcs at the bottom. The tower view shows the work tables of two red draug (similar to OGL 3.5 liches) magi. The third level (European second floor) of the tower also contains the work tables of two red draug magi. The final view shows the fourth level (European third floor) of the tower. This is the work area of the dark draug Málgurð who rules over the entire complex.
You can get these plans in any either of two versions:
1. As JPG flat maps, each 1360 x 1020 pixels (3 MB), available above.
2. The original FM8 map in FMP format, fully editable. Those who downloaded last week's FMP version need not download again. Because the various dungeon levels are layers of a single FM8 map file, this version includes both this week's and last week's dungeon levels. Otherwise download it from our Jörðgarð web page (26 MB). This version includes a PDF pamphlet that tells you how to use the layers that are built into the map.
Both versions are released for personal and commercial use under the Open Game License Version 1.0a, which you can read on the Jörðgarð web site.

Research project starts on Flaming Gorge
DUTCH JOHN, UTAH — If you see nets and other sampling gear in the water at Flaming Gorge Reservoir this fall and winter, don't be alarmed.
Burbot that have a green tag attached to them, like the one pictured above, are part of the study.

The equipment is part of a project to learn more about burbot that were released into the reservoir illegally.
Utah State University (USU), in cooperation with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR), is conducting the research project.
The project, which is underway now, will end in early 2013. Identifying the extent of the burbots' seasonal movement, and the fish the burbot prey on the most, are the project's goals.
If you see nets in the reservoir, please do not disturb them.
You can help
To determine the seasonal movements of the burbot, biologists will use radio telemetry to track fish that have been implanted with ultrasonic telemetry tags. Each burbot that receives an internal telemetry tag will also have an external green tag attached to it.
In Utah, anglers are required to keep and kill all of the burbot they catch. If you catch a tagged fish in Utah, Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the UDWR, encourages you to contact the UDWR office in Dutch John as soon as possible.
"The telemetry tags we're using are expensive," Cushing says. "If you contact us, we can remove the telemetry tag from the fish and use it again."
You can either remove the telemetry tag yourself (the tag is inserted in the fish's abdomen) and drop it off at the Dutch John office, or you can refrigerate the fish and then schedule a time to meet with a biologist so the biologist can remove it.
If you can't bring the tag to the Dutch John office, Cushing encourages you to call the office at 435-885-3164 with the number on the external tag, the length of the fish and the area on Flaming Gorge where you caught it.
Due to the expense of the telemetry tags, biologists in both Utah and Wyoming would really like to retrieve the tags.
"Whatever you do," Cushing says, "don't release the burbot back into the water if you catch it on the Utah side of the reservoir."
The situation is different on the Wyoming side of Flaming Gorge. If you catch the fish on the Wyoming side, it's legal to release the fish. But before you do, please call the WGFD's regional office in Green River (307-875-3223) to relay tag information and the location and date on which the burbot was caught.
"Typically," says WGFD biologist Craig Amadio, "we encourage anglers to harvest and remove all [of the] burbot they catch from Flaming Gorge. But this is a unique situation."
Amadio says each telemetry tag costs $500, so it's an expensive project. "If an angler happens to harvest a tagged burbot," he says, "we're asking that they retrieve the internal telemetry tag and return it to the WGFD regional office in Green River or the UDWR office in Dutch John. Then [we can use it] on another fish."
Amadio says this important research project will help biologists learn more about the illegally introduced burbot population. The information gained will ultimately assist with burbot suppression efforts and the future management of the fishery.
Learning two things
Biologists will tag burbot at eight different locations on the reservoir. Then they'll track burbot throughout this winter and next spring. The information biologists gather will provide insight into seasonal movement directions and distances. The ultimate goal is to identify when and where the burbot spawn.
By knowing when and where the burbot spawn, biologists and anglers can focus on those areas to maximize removal efforts and limit burbot reproduction.
The diet portion of the research project will help biologists better understand the current impacts burbot are having on other fish species in the reservoir and potential impacts the burbot might have in the future.
"Burbot are very aggressive predators and feed on anything they can catch," says Amadio. "Crayfish appear to be their main prey source. But we have confirmed that burbot also feed on kokanee, rainbow trout and smallmouth bass."
Amadio says biologists have observed another disturbing trend in recent years: Burbot feeding on kokanee eggs and lake trout eggs while those species are spawning in the fall.
"We are obviously concerned about the impact burbot predation might have on these important sport fish populations," he says. "This research project will help us assess the extent of the problem."
For more information about the research project, call the WGFD Green River regional office at 307-875-3223 or the UDWR Dutch John office at 435-885-3164.

Product Categories
Switches & Multiplexers
Product Details
The ADG4612 & ADG4613 contain four independent singlepole/ single-throw (SPST) switches. The ADG4612 switches are turned on with Logic 1 on the appropriate control input. The ADG4613 has two switches with digital control logic similar to that of the ADG4612; the logic is inverted on the other two switches. Each switch conducts equally well in both directions when on and has an input signal range that extends to the supplies. The ADG4613 exhibits break-before-make switching action for use in multiplexer applications.
When no power supplies are present the switch remains in the OFF condition and the switch inputs are high impedance inputs. This ensures that no current flows that may damage the switch. This is very useful in application where analog signals may be present at the switch inputs before power or where the user has no control over the Power Supply Sequence.
In the off condition, signal levels up to 16V are blocked. Also, if the analog input signal levels exceed VDD by VT then the switch will turn off.
The ultralow on resistance of these switches make them ideal solutions for data acquisition and gain switching applications where low on resistance and distortion is critical. The on resistance profile is very flat over the full analog input range ensuring excellent linearity and low distortion when switching audio signals.

SENECA, Mo. (AP) -- A massive search for a missing 6-year-old southwest Missouri boy ends well after rescuers find him huddled in a ditch with his two dogs lying on top of him to keep him warm.
The Joplin Globe (http://bit.ly/UtwnSG) reports Ryle Smith followed his dogs, Baxter and Bella, into the woods behind his parents' Seneca home Friday night and became disoriented and lost after it got dark.,
His parents reported him missing shortly before 6 p.m. Friday after he didn't return from playing near the house. Several area emergency crews took part in the search.
Ryle was found at 10 p.m. and checked out at a Joplin hospital, where he was found to have no injuries.
The boy's father says the dogs protected Ryle and wouldn't have left him for anything.
