School district seeks donations to save P.E.
By: Joyia Emard, Loomis News Staff Writer
$25 to Keep P.E. Alive Drive launched
Volunteers are on a drive to keep PE alive at six schools in the Loomis Union School District. Loomis Basin Education Foundation treasurer Carolyn Petree said the Education Foundation is working with district families to raise $52,000 to rescue the physical education program for a second year. Paul Johnson, district superintendent, said last year the state cut a third of the grant that pays for the three PE teachers who rotate between six schools and teach 2,370 students. He said those cuts are ongoing. Last spring, the Education Foundation used parent donations and matching funds to grant the district $52,406 to save the PE program for the current school year. Now, the Education Foundation is asking for a $25 donation per student to salvage physical education for the 2011-2012 school year. Petree said parent donations will be matched with funds raised by the Education Foundation. She said the Education Foundation plans to provide matching funds up to $26,000. Emily Gallo is the PE teacher at Loomis Grammar and Ophir Elementary schools. She said physical education is critical for students. "It exposes them to numerous games they normally wouldn't play, it teaches them teamwork, respect, how to share equipment, problem-solving skills and following rules," Gallo said. Gallo said physical education is especially important to kinesthetic learners who learn by actually carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to a lecture or merely watching a demonstration. "A lot of those kids don't do as well with traditional learning, so PE is wonderful for their self-esteem," she said. "It's also invaluable to classroom teachers because it gives them time to work individually with students and collaborate with other teachers." She said if cuts are made to programs like physical education, art and music, then "you stop educating the whole child." Loomis Grammar fourth-grader Sydney Mathias, 10, said his favorite PE activity is playing hockey outside on the blacktop with a wiffle ball. "PE is fun. We do a lot of sports and games. We get a lot of exercise. It would be bad to lose it," Sydney said. Mia Andreatta, 8, a third-grader from Loomis Grammar, said she prefers playing hockey in the cafeteria with fluff balls. "We get to do a lot of fun games in PE. I would be sad to lose it," Mia said. Dustin Fee and Zach Strutts are also PE teachers. Fee rotates between Penryn and H. Clarke Powers Elementary schools. Strutts splits his time between Placer and Franklin Elementary schools. Amy Peterson, an H. Clarke Powers parent, is the Education Foundation secretary and said, "I want my children to be active. I want them to be playing more than sitting. PE teaches them early on why activity is so important for our health." Franklin school won't be participating in the drive because last spring the school held a Go The Distance run that raised money to fund their portion of the PE program. Franklin dad and ultramarathon runner Greg Bomhoff ran more than 100 miles in 24 hours and raised almost $30,000.

Season two of this action-packed audio drama plunges listeners back into a ravaged world of violence and terror.
The hope of a better life forces the survivors of the Tower out into the dissolving world around them. The consequences of past battles leave them struggling not only with each other but the remaining fragments of humanity.

"We're Alive is a modern rendition of an old-school medium…. Despite not being able to see the action, the excitement and intensity is still sustained through score and sound design." (Examiner.com)
"If 'tis a sin, I don't give a Fiddler's fart!" -Frank McCourt.
This book is so damn good, it should come with a warning. There's no way you can listen to the first season and not crave more.
The second season picks up right where the first one ended. The story gers better. New characters are introduced, and of course all the old favorites are back.
Best production EVER.
Galen Starman
"like listening to a movie"
It's different enough story from other books in the genre and realistic characters with both strengths and flaws great listen!
"ultimate zombie story"
let me. first say that you will be BLOWN AWAY by the performances of the cast plus special effects. I'd give it more than 5 stars if possible.
"Not much on zombies, but a decent story/show."
Zombies are a tertiary part of this story. Its mostly about the human/living characters struggles with each other. We still don't know the cause of the zombie outbreak, or how there are different kinds of zombies, ie; big zombies, small zombies, and then the zombies that can bellow so loud you hear them throughout the whole city. No clue where they came from or how they came to be.
If you can get past those minor annoyances, this is a really entertaining listen. I would recommend it to others.
"great story easy to listen to"
loved all the different readers, sound effects, good story. just enjoyable and easy to follow.
one real guy
"all of them are fantastic"
yes I most certainly will as a good audio book is like any other good book getting many reads again and again.
loved them all some made me laugh, cry, hate good stuff
yes and well
read above again
gonna buy them all
Spay, neuter, adopt, and train. Don't buy, surrender, or breed. Be a good person and carry a weapon just in case.
"2nd book of We're Alive"
Loved 1st book! 2nd was not as exciting, a bit confusing, too long, and didn't accomplish much.
"Even better than the first season!"
Yes! Better than the first season, really action packed and the performances and writing were considerably better.
Michael. I love a flawed hero.
The end- what a great cliffhanger!
"A true story made for listening"
I love that this story has been created for audio first and foremost. The creator has put a lot of effort into sound design and it really pulls the listener into his world.
You also get to see the characters develop not just from the first season, but throughout this second season.
"Great series for zombie lovers"
Great radio drama series and performance by individual characters. However, don't waste your credits here. You can download the entire series (31 chapters as of this review) for free through itunes.
"Best audio play on audible"
Best audio play on audible (can't call it a book) production quality is amazing.

ebuggy e-Mobility Concept Gives Electric Cars the Power to Travel Any Distance
Posted By Marc Carter On September 19, 2012 @ 1:40 pm In automotive,Electric Cars,Green Transportation,Innovation,News | No Comments
Today's electric cars [2] are at a disadvantage due to the lack of infrastructure to charge them, but ebuggy [3] has just unveiled a new solution. The ebuggy e-Mobility Concept is a new trailer-based range extender that gives electric cars [2] the power they need to travel continuously. Read on to see how the ebuggy works!
Here's how it works: Along your route you can stop at an ebuggy relay station [3] to connect your electric vehicle to an ebuggy trailer. The ebuggy trailer will act as a range extender and allow your electric car to use the power from the trailer rather than its own battery. You return the ebuggy at a relay service station, and with the power from your car's fully-charged battery [4] you can then continue on to your destination.
In addition to improving the driving range of electric vehicles, ebuggy also states that its solution will allow automakers to build their electric vehicles with smaller batteries. "ebuggy allows the automotive industry to build reasonably priced electric vehicles [2] with a smaller battery [4], because ebuggy is available for longer distances. As a result, electric cars will become cheaper than vehicles with a combustion engine and e-mobility will be able to assert itself rapidly and dynamically," says Dr. Manfred Baumgärtner, Managing Director of ebuggy.
ebuggy [3] is currently establishing a network of exchange stations across Europe.

What made you start your own business?
A few reasons. I really wanted to develop my skills and progress in my career. I had been very fortunate in my employed job as I had many opportunities to train and develop over the years I worked at the company in all areas of the business, then due to a long term project, those varied roles diminished.
I also wanted to be around more for my family and starting my own business meant that I would offer my services only within commutable distances. The third reason was that I loved the idea of building business relationships with people local to me, which was more difficult in a big company.
How long did it take you to establish yourself/the business?
I did this in two stages. My previous experience within a very reputable training company gave me a lot of credibility and I established myself as a freelance trainer within the 10 weeks' notice I gave my previous company.
During this first stage, I worked purely as an associate trainer for other established training companies (including the company I was leaving). Then, within a year of going freelance I was starting to get my own clients and wanted to create my own brand, so I decided to set up Glide Training Ltd.
Do you have any tips for anyone looking to start out or grow an existing business?
Define exactly what it is you can offer right now, and think about how this might evolve as time goes on. Research the market – is there enough demand for you to earn the money you need to survive? If there isn't then re-think your offer.
Network as much as you can – as well as it being a great way to find clients, if you find the right group it can become your support network for advice and for finding the suppliers and service providers you will need. Connect with as many people as you can through social media and face-to-face and spread the word to family and friends about what you are doing.
How has it been juggling your work with your personal life?
It is hard work sometimes, but so much easier than when I was employed. I am very organised and ensure that things are in the diary as soon as they can be. I am happy to occasionally work in the evening or at the weekend if it means I have been able to attend other important family events.
What are the biggest challenges you face?
Time. It's a challenge being the one responsible for everything, but I do actually like being responsible for myself. I have a great business support network for when things get tough!
What are the perks that come with your job?
I plan my own time, my own work and I can work flexibly with my clients. I get to meet new people every day and I enjoy finding out how different people learn and how their business and organisation works. I can choose when we take holidays, and if we want to extend the weekend into Monday, then we can!
How do you tend to find new business?
The majority of my work has come from recommendation and referrals. The rest comes from networking. I am a member and manager of The Mumpreneurs Networking Club which is great for meeting both solo-entrepreneurs who attend my workshops and bigger companies for whom I provide in-company bespoke training.
What advice would you give to aspiring freelancers?
If you know you have a service to offer and the market is there, then go for it. I have learnt that big or corporate organisations will buy from freelancers. If your skills and experience are right then there is no reason why you cannot compete with companies.
How can our readers find out more about your business?

Is my 4 year old son gay?
My youngest of my twins has came up to me and said "mommy i like boys". I didn't believe him when he told me until he said he had a "boyfriend" at preschool. i was iffy about it. He asked to have a play date so me and the other mother met up and had lunch while the kids played in the back yard. When we went to go get the boys a few hours later they were kissing under neath the slide we have in our backyard. The mother told me her so had been saying the same thing and the boys claimed to be "in love". Is this just a weird phase or is my son gay? It doesn't matter either way I just want to know so I can be prepared for later. Gay or not I still love him.

I do not have this problem with my four year old girl, how ever if I did I would have to say since we are talking about a four year old here (lol) I would feel confident that it's just a phase and if I'm wrong and he grows in to a respectful gay man I feel as his mother you should be able to accept that.posted 10/11/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
The first time i told someone i was gay i was 4 years old. I did end up growing up to be gay. I think it is awesome that you are being supportive and not freaking out about it. However i totally think that it would be worth having a talk with your son about it, and continuing to keep open the lines of communication with the other mother.posted 11/28/2011 by Mum Of 2 Aussies
Hard to tell at this age. I have a 4 year old daughter who says she wants to marry her 2 year old brother. And my 6 and 8 year old girls will kiss on the lips imitating what they see on TV. Am I worried about an incestuous relationship? No. Kids at this age mimic what they see and experiment with how they show affection. Is it real romantic love? No.posted 10/05/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
It seems believable but only time will tell. Time and time and again my 2.5yo says so many things that I don't give her credit for. I know some moms who say they knew their child was gay when they were 3,4,5 yo. I love it when little kids can express their thoughts and feelings. My 2.5yo does this so eloquently, it's surprising. You can also appreciate that he feels loved and he trusts you, or else he would not be able to express his feelings to you. Seems like you've raised a really good boy. Congrats on that.posted 10/04/2011 by Junebug Jr.
i wouldnt put much thought into your son bein gay right now..he is only 4..& kids say things that they dont understand themselves?? when he said he had a boyfriend he probaly meant that he he has a boy for a friend...the kissing...?? well kids show there affection..just dont worry or stress yourself out & if he was gay like you said you will love him no matter what.....u sound like a very good momma just concerned about your son...but if he is gay just remember its nothing u did wrong...its just genetics....i believe gay people are born that way & they cant help it....i heard chromosones get mixed up while they are in the womb so its nothing we can change?? just keep on lovin your lil ones...& good luck to you..& im sure everything will be just fine..posted 10/04/2011 by tballmoma

Spiritual Practices for Preaching
Praying for Your Congregation
Prayer is an act of hopeful expectation. Hope is not denial, nor is prayer, but a faithful openness to deeper realities within challenging situations. Often liberal and moderate churches expect too little of God and too little of ourselves, and we get exactly what we expect. When we expect great things of God and ourselves in prayer and active partnerships, great things emerge through the deeper movements of cause and effect. The bumper stickers—"expect a miracle" and "accept a miracle"—remind us that we live in an energetic, lively, and surprising universe. As Christian healer Agnes Sanford affirmed, electricity is all around, we just need to plug into it for the light to shine, and so it is with prayer. This is not magic, nor supernaturalism, but an awakening to the energy of an adventurous God "in whom we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
In this spirit, I suggest the following practices for preachers and congregations:
- Make a pastoral commitment to pray for the well-being and vitality of your congregation.
- Make a pastoral commitment to pray for vital, spirit-centered worship. (By "spirit," I mean God's immanent, all-embracing, life-transforming, all-welcoming Holy Spirit.)
- Make a pastoral commitment to pray for "problem persons" as well as advocates: experience God's light surrounding them as you visualize them as God's beloved children.
- Change your professional self-talk from limitation and negativity to abundance and affirmation.
- Invite the congregation's leaders to commit themselves to five minutes of prayer for the congregation and its mission each day.
- Sponsor a series on prayer and spirituality, as complementary with social justice and concern. Help people find a theology of prayer that they can affirm and practices that fit their personality types, theology, and lifestyles.
- Consider starting a service of blessing and healing, grounded in hopeful expectation of God's presence within the "natural" processes of cause and effect.
- Invite the congregation to pray with expectation for God's movements in worship.
- Invite two or three people to focus prayerfully on the worship service—before and after—praying for the preacher, pastoral staff, and other participants, and for God's blessing of the day.
Transformation begins with a simple prayer. The Apostle Paul simply reminded his congregations of his daily prayers for them: "I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ."
God is doing a good work in the church and everyone's lives. God is doing a good work in the preacher's life. Let your congregation know that you are praying for them, that you want their highest good, personally and as a community, and that you are praying that the congregation embody God's vision for it in this time and place. Invite them to join you on the journey. And, anticipate great things in worship, preaching, and service through God's grace.

Why Is It So Tough To Get a Flu Vaccine?
Pity the poor slackers come January.
Which left us dependent on the kindness of MinuteClinic. Despite my survey of waiting patients, it was impossible to calculate whether we would get our shots that day. Cute but crud-eyed children pulled pink metal roadsters off the shelves and zoomed them over the carpet. Store employees took the long way around to avoid us. Adults slouched in the half-dozen chairs available, with surplus people standing up or sitting on the floor, waiting to be called in or called home.
Twenty minutes later, the nurse's door still hadn't opened. A big woman in tiny suede boots volunteered that she had already been there two hours and was now 11th on the list. When the nurse finally popped out for the next patient, we were told that she could probably see only one or two more people before her break.
It was 12:10. We headed to Wendy's and came back an hour later. Suede boots had moved up two slots in our absence. We sat down, but after a while, I started to worry about our sick, old dog left alone at home. Doing a quick and dirty calculation in my head [30 min. per non flu-shot patient x (4 to 6) patients ahead of us + (4 to 6) flu-shot patients at 15 minutes each], I decided that we surely had 45 minutes to check on the dog and come back.
We returned by 2:30 to discover that some patients had bailed. We were No. 3! And we only had to wait another hour to see the nurse, who even with a mob lurking outside her door, turned out to be professional and friendly. "You should have seen this place yesterday," she said.
In the last minutes before her shot, my daughter started climbing on me and begging to go. But by the time the needle came out, it was 3:45—six hours since we had set off that morning—and she was too exhausted to commit to a freakout.
Leaving, I waved to the crowd. "That didn't take long," someone from the appreciative mob said. In the car, my daughter ripped open her new toy.
Now, there's just one problem left. The nurse was out of adult flu vaccine. So I didn't get a shot.
The flu generally kills between 3,000 and 49,000 people in a given season, even in non-pandemic years. FDA spokeswoman Rita Chappelle said Monday that as long as demand doesn't surge much higher than in previous years, the agency doesn't expect to see any real vaccine shortages, just occasional gaps. CVS's Mike DeAngelis says that when temporary shortages occur, he expects stores to be restocked quickly.
Still, hitting the jackpot is a guessing game. Wednesday, I called the six CVS locations that had been out over the weekend, and only two of them had doses on hand.
Uscher-Pines delicately pointed out to me that it's smarter and easier to get vaccinated in September—and suggested families make it part of a back-to-school routine. For bad parents like me, she helpfully noted this CDC vaccine finder.
So maybe I'll see you at a local clinic. But given my weekend, you'd better call ahead. And pack a lunch.

Recipe from http://www.epicurious.com.
Fresh Dill and other herbs tend to be infested with aphids, thrips and other insects. Please check "Special Instructions" below for instructions on insect inspection.
2 cups (lightly packed) 1/2-inch cubes French baguette with crusts
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
1/2 pound hot-smoked salmon fillets, skinned, flaked into bite-size pieces
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill
4 large eggs
1 cup half and half
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Additional sour cream
Fresh dill sprigs
Preheat oven to 400. Arrange bread on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until pale golden, about 5 minutes, then cool. Butter 11×7-inch glass baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add potatoes. Stir to coat and arrange in single layer. Cover and cook until potatoes are almost tender, about 8 minutes. Uncover; increase heat to medium-high, and cook until potatoes are lightly browned and tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add shallots and saut'e until soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Gently mix in bread, salmon, chives, and minced dill. Transfer mixture to prepared dish. Whisk eggs and next 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend well. Pour custard over potato mixture in dish. Let stand 15 minutes, occasionally pressing bread into custard. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.) Preheat oven to 350. Bake uncovered, until custard is set, about 30 minutes. Cut into squares and top with additional sour cream, capers, and dill sprigs; serve hot.
Fresh Dill and Insect Infestation:
Fresh herbs, including dill, basil, cilantro, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary and thyme, are often used as spices or garnishing. Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of these herbs. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches of herbs. These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water.
In order to determine if a particular bunch of herbs is infested prior to washing, bang it several times over a white cloth. This is most important when checking oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. If only one or two insects are found, proceed with the steps below. If three or more insects are detected in a particular bunch of herbs, it should not be used.
1. Soak herbs in a solution of cold water and vegetable wash. The proper amount of vegetable wash has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water. (In the absence of vegetable wash, several drops of concentrated non-scented liquid detergent may be used. However, for health reasons, thoroughly rinse off the soapy solution.)
2. Agitate the herbs in the soapy water, in order to loosen the sticking excretion of the bugs.
3. Using a heavy stream of water, thoroughly wash off the soap and other foreign matter from the herbs.
4. Check both sides of each leaf under direct light.
5. If one or two insects are found, rewash the herbs.
6. If any insects are found after repeating the agitation process twice, the entire bunch must be discarded.

Digging Up Death
Leave a review on GOODREADS
"Dig into a fun story with Digging Up Death. It's got all the dirt you want–a tangled mystery, a quirky heroine, hints of romance, and page-turning action. Conroy keeps the story real and delves into the clean and the not so clean parts of life. Highly recommended." Christy Barritt, author of the Squeaky Clean Mysteries series
December 13, 2012 By Dennis Poindexter – See all my reviews
I'm not a fan of romantic novels, but I read Digging up Death and found it to be a real page turner, or in my case a real screen tapper. There were a couple of pleasant surprises and it has enough convolutions in plot to keep me reading continuously without putting it down. Good book! Even though, as I said above, I am not a fan of romantic mysteries, I will continue to follow the further adventures of Mari Duggins. Move over Janet Evanovich!
"Gina Conroy has written a smart, fast-paced mystery in which vulnerable characters rise to the occasion. Single-mom Mari's life is anything but mundane. Scars from her past mingle with the danger of her present while romance and a journey of faith impatiently wait their turn for a walk in her five-inch leather boots." Tanya Dennis, writer, blogger, editor
Archaeology Professor Mari Duggins is adjusting to life as a single mom and trying to balance a television career, but gets caught between the pull of her former flame, a field archaeologist, and her ex-husband who is wanted by the FBI on an antiquities crime. Then her colleague is murdered, and she gets in over her head as she searches for truth in a desert of lies. Mari Duggins' life caves in as she tries to excavate the truth, but realizes only God can dig her out of the hole she's created. Will Mari sort through her muddled feelings and put her trust in someone else before her world caves in? Or will the truth bury her alive?

As one of the three TLN Salute Districts named in 2000, Township High School District 214 in suburban Chicago, had already proven its committment to integrating technology throughout its schools and through its staff.
In the decade since, amidst new federal and state policies, new administrations and economic upheaval, District 214 has kept its focus on technology, even expanding its role in their system.
Technology, for instance, is infused in three of the district's strategic goals, ensuring that technology integration is a visible and active part of what the district provides and provides for its students.
In more practical terms, it's meant a continued presence in the curriuclum and classroom — from a revolutionary robotics program featuring no less than Motorola as a partner to a digital learning lab that enables students to learn new languages — as well as forays into the foundations and infrastructure of teaching and learning whether it be the standardized Learning Management System, instructional technology staff dedicated to each building or an accessible and forward-thinking technology department which developed an automated system to let parents know if their child is falling behind that week.
It's for these reasons and more that NSBA's Educational Technology Programs bestowed District 214 with this year's Trailblazer Award, a distinction that can only be earned by former TLN Salute Districts, a distinction that hasn't been conferred since 2006, when Calcasieu Parish Public Schools's impressive technology planning in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita caught the attention of NSBA staff.
So a sincere congratulations to District 214 who will receive much deserved recognition at this year's T+L Conference, which will be held from October 19-21 in Phoenix.

Shin Bet apparently tracked the package after wondering at an enormous quantity of salt ordered by a Gaza importer with Hamas ties.18:10 03.05.16 | 0 comments
Can I assume the adjective here is facetious? Pleasant for whom? Is the status quo acceptable, long-term, on ANY front? With Iran, with the Palestinians, with the fast-changing Arab political landscape? No. To an empathetic outsider, Israel seems to be sleepwalking,dreaming in delusion. Expand the settlements, build a wall, let the dream of a peaceful two-state solution fade (we know it's no longer an option, we just can't say so publicly)... The government does nothing to nurture its alliances, open dialogues with neighbours, revive talks with the Palestinians. If the US President takes care of Iran's nukes, diplomatically or militarily, his Administration will have done Israel a huge favour with considerable risks and costs to his country. What will he get in return? Nothing much. Not from his 'friend' Bibi. No one in Israel should believe that, long-term, this lopsided friendship will not wear on American resolve. The public mood in the US is shifting. Even Republicans are becoming much more wary of ill-advised, costly and unrewarding, foreign entanglements.

Next week, April 24th, I will host the second annual "In My Shoes" event on campus, during stop the hate week.
In My Shoes is a program that I adapted from the MTV's popular show "If You Really Knew Me" where mentors sit down with a select group of students on high school campuses across the world to tear down stereotypes they are either victim to or guilty of perpetuating.
I came up with the idea after taking an independent study with Dr. Betsy Eudey (great teacher!) where I examined the ways society helps shape young males today. Instead of doing the standard research paper, I wanted to make a difference and create an event that helped to talk openly about pressures/stereotypes/bullying that young men and women face in college.
Yes, college campuses have cliques, too. As much as we'd like to believe it ends in high school, it doesn't. With Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and good old fashion trash talk still alive and well, bullying continues to flourish.
I believe it's never too late to take a good, hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask what you are doing to keep these stereotypes alive and well. Being silent is just as bad as teasing, in my opinion.
The event last year went very well. We had about 25 students participate (which was great for the pilot run) and they were really open to the topics discussed. We did a lot of teambuilding exercises to get the students comfortable with one another. At one point, myself and my co-host, Gaby, got up and shared a personal anecdote about our lives in an effort to make the students more comfortable with sharing their stories. They were able to get into small groups and let people who they may have never interacted with before know what it is like to be in their shoes.
This year, I would like the event to focus more on body image and how it can affect men and women differently. I want the participants to walk out of the event with an action plan on how we are going to go about turning our educational community into a more accepting one.
I want to stress that this isn't a classroom lecture, it is an interactive program that will only work with participants who are willing to lend ideas to the cause. While there will be facilitators at the event, they are not to be viewed as "authority figures;" instead, they are participants who are committed to changing our campus as well.
I urge everyone to check out this event, it will be a lot of fun!
Sidenote: the flier says "Women's Edition" but that was from an earlier brainstorming. We decided to open it to both males and females again because body image isn't something that just affects women.

The Negligents
continued - page 3
3. Counter-example
The third technique is bread-and-butter stuff for Creationists. Given the sheer number of species known to exist in the present and the discovered past, there are bound to be some weirdoes. Some defy present explanation, others simply have not been examined. This gives the creationist a bottomless bag of rhetorical devices to hurl at evolutionary theory. When one is taken away, by a new fossil find or a hopelessly obscure PhD project, he'll simply reach into the bag for another freak. In essence, this is argument by anecdote. It's the last refuge of the data-defeated (well, actually tactic four is the last refuge, but we'll get there in a minute).
The counter-example has obvious application to those promoting climate Negligence, precisely because modern climate records are so rich. Globally, there are over 8,000 weather stations that report daily data to the U.S. Climate Diagnostics Center. And guess what? It's not warming everywhere. Now this would hardly be surprising even if the hypothesis of global warming depended on uniform warming of the entire globe -- we'd expect a few stations with cooling simply due to instrument malfunction and local variability. But no reasonable scenario of anthropogenic warming involves uniform warming of the entire globe. It is well understood that significant portions of the planet will experience negligible warming, or even cooling for some time due to changes in ocean currents and atmospheric circulations. Polar regions, for example, are expected to warm more than low latitude regions, due in large part to feedbacks associated with melting ice sheets. Warming in the North Atlantic, meanwhile, may be offset for some time by the input of cold fresh water off of the melting Greenland ice sheet.
So it's child's play to drag up a few weather station records that show a cooling trend. Plot it up in Excel and you've got a great slide for your next keynote address. It's best to pair the slide with a puzzled wrinkling of the brow. I enjoyed such a performance recently from a German Negligent who, for some reason, thought it most appropriate to test his global sunspot theory for climate change using data from a single weather station record in northern England. His statistics still weren't very good, but the Excel graph impressed some economists in the audience. Incredulity with a German accent is potent stuff.
4. Cabal
Finally, the play to paranoid populism: evolution is a rouse dreamed up by a cabal of self-interested scientists that is only after your taxpayer dollars and probably the souls of your children as well. The logic behind this argument is impeccable in all applications. Who benefits from acceptance of evolutionary theory but the very people who make their dishonest living by talking about it? There is a vast conspiracy of lab geeks who chortle at the ignorance of the lay public while quaffing $6 microbrews at their favorite Cambridge pub.
It sounds like a Michael Crichton novel, but it's not. It's his Congressional testimony.
Michael Crichton has made a lucrative career of animating vain, amoral scientists who put personal glory ahead of social and scientific responsibility. These are entertaining stories. They also involve genetically engineered dinosaurs and swarms of evil nanobots. I assume he briefed Congress on those topics as well. Somewhere in the fog of celebrity-induced self-worship, Crichton has taken to preaching the gospel against climate change research, garnering innumerable speaking engagements, an award in "journalism" from the oil industry, and however many millions of dollars he netted from State of Fear. On his website he warns, "the intermixing of science and politics is a bad combination [sic]." Apparently the intermixing of science-fiction and politics presents no such concern.

When four Columbus East High School students learned their good friend Chaleece Leckron was diagnosed with lymphoma, they were ready to show their support in any way they could.
The girls were even willing to shave their heads.
Leckron, 16, assured the girls that their friendship meant more than such a drastic measure.
Instead, each of the friends had between eight and 11 inches of their blond and brunette locks cut to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. The program partners with the American Cancer Society to give free, real-hair wigs to women fighting cancer.
"Cutting their hair — that meant the world to her," said Kim Leckron, Chaleece's mother.
Leckron found herself in need of a wig this summer after losing her bright, red tresses while going through chemotherapy at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. She is being treated for lymphoma, a type of cancer that attacks cells in the lymph nodes.
Christina Hetisimer, 16; Olivia Frownfelter, 16; and Emmery Doty, 15 — have been friends with Leckron for more than 10 years. The fourth who cut her hair, Casey Begner, 16, joined the circle when the girls were freshmen in high school.
The girls also researched having a custom wig made out of their hair but found the cost would be prohibitive.
The Pantene program appealed to them because it provided wigs for free to cancer patients. It also was a tangible way for the girls to help people going through similar situations.
"We wanted to do something to show her our support," said Doty, who had 8 inches of her blond hair cut and is getting used to a new, shorter style with bangs.
'Very, very, very close'
Tammy Frownfelter, Olivia Frownfelter's mother and a hairdresser who cut the girls' hair, said the bond between her daughter, Leckron, Hetisimer and Doty started in first grade at Clifty Creek Elementary School.
It began as the mothers got the girls together to play, then grew to cheerleading, dance teams, sleepovers, vacations, sports and shared birthday parties.
The four were cheerleaders for two years together at Clifty Creek and bonded so much that a teacher nicknamed them "The Fantastic Four."
Even when they went in different directions with after-school activities, they still went to each other's events and recitals.
"I can't ever remember them having a harsh word between them," Tammy Frownfelter said. "They were so blessed to have each other growing up."
The girls are so close that they already are worried about going their separate ways for college.
"When we're on vacation, we Skype and do Facetime," Olivia Frownfelter said about the online video chatting.
"We're more like sisters," Hetisimer added.
"We're very, very, very close," Frownfelter said.
When they learned about Leckron's lymphoma
diagnosis, the girls were devastated but knew immediately they would support Leckron every step of the way.
They also wanted to keep life as normal as possible. Even the hair cutting was turned into a party. Leckron, who wants to be a hairdresser one day, picked out the new hairstyles for her friends and was eager to help them with styling.
The friends' frequent trips to the hospital to visit Leckron include catching up on what's happening at home, manicures, laughing and even dancing.
Leckron was sad that she couldn't attend the 4-H fair last week, so her friends brought her a souvenir cup and some cotton candy. They also enjoy bringing some of her favorite items: tacos, Sour Patch candy and sweet tea.
A new battle
The lymphoma battle is just the latest medical struggle for Leckron, who also had bacterial meningitis and histoplasmosis during the past four years.
She completed homebound schooling through Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. during her seventh- and eighth-grade years but went to Columbus East for her freshman and sophomore years.
The lymphoma took the family by surprise, since Leckron had been healthy recently and was active in dance and cheerleading. At first they thought she had an injury in her back or hip.
In May, Leckron was diagnosed with lymphoma, and she has spent much of her summer at Riley undergoing chemotherapy and being watched closely as she recovered from the side effects between treatments.
Dr. Catherine Long, an oncologist at Riley, said Leckron has diffuse large B cell lymphoma, which started in her pelvis area and spread through her abdomen.
Leckron receives chemotherapy treatments about once every three weeks for a week. How long this will go on depends on how she responds, but Long said Leckron probably has four to six more treatments to go.
"The chemotherapy is pretty intensive, but the lymphoma is aggressive, and it responds to the chemotherapy," Long said. "It's a lot of treatment to go through, but (the cancer) usually stays away."
'They are her medicine'
Kim Leckron said her daughter has missed out on a lot of activities this summer, but she's had a great attitude and her friends have been wonderful.
"I tell them they have been amazing," Kim Leckron sadi. "I tell them, they are her medicine."
Although the Leckron family has health insurance, frequent trips to the Indianapolis hospital has included extra costs for gas, meals and other expenses.
Kim Leckron works with the English-as-a-second-language program at Clifty Creek, and Jim Leckron works at Overton Carbide Tool & Engineering in Franklin.
Leckron's friends want to help the family ease as many of the worries as they can.
The girls arranged a fundraiser at Texas Roadhouse in June and plan to arrange more fundraisers this summer. They also have sold "Cheer for Chaleece" T-shirts.
Tammy Frownfelter said the girls have always believed that Leckron will win this battle, and they've learned what a remarkable strength and spirit she has.
"These girls are learning a lot from Chaleece. She always has a great attitude," Tammy Frownfelter said.
The girls said they will do whatever they can do for her.
"It's impossible not to love Chaleece," Hetisimer said.

FDA researchers recently advised parents not to give over-the-counter cold medications to kids under age six, leaving many wondering how they should treat their child's persistent cough.
Now there may be an alternative: Honey! In a study funded by the national honey board, researchers placed over 100 children with an upper respiratory infection on one of three treatment plans: A dose of honey, a commonly used over-the-counter drug, or no treatment. They found those given honey coughed less than children not given treatment.

T-Shirt Chair Weaves Together a Meaningful Story Using Recycled Textiles
Posted By Diane Pham On March 9, 2011 @ 5:00 pm In Design,Green Furniture,Green Interiors,Innovation,Recycled Materials | 1 Comment
If your collection of t-shirts is worn beyond repair, then turn them into a funky new chair full of memories! To create her original T-shirt Chair, Maria Westerberg [1] wove together shirts from forty of the designer's friends along with other once-treasured textiles to create a colorful mosaic of her personal history. Smitten with the idea, manufacturer Berhin Studios is now producing the chairs from a mix of colorful fabric pieces leftover from sofa manufacturing. The T-shirt Chair can also be purchased as a plain frame so you can personalize it with your own worn-out clothes [2], t-shirts and other textiles. The T-shirt Chair is the winner of the 2011 Green Furniture Award [3].

Alpha baby! It will drink your blood. In case it doesn't, you should drink your own blood!
This is a script that manages plugins hosted on git or hg and make them available
to pathogen, so it make your vim ever the more awesome!
First off, create a `bundles.vim` file in your dotvim directory and put lines like
the following:
" Bundle: git://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen.git
Note: You'll anyway need the above line at least, you of course need pathogen, silly.
Add any number such bundle lines with various plugins. Vimpire will try to guess the
vcs from git or hg, and is correct most of the time, but if you want to specify it
yourself, do so as
" Bundle: my-strange-url-from-which-no-one-can-tell-the-vcs with git
There, that `with git` in the end is what tells Vimpire what vcs to use. Neat eh?
Navigate to your vimfiles or dotvim directory and do
$ wget http://bitbucket.org/sharat87/vimpire/raw/428f69cf2d16/vimpire.py
$ python vimpire.py
Deleting plugins is still experimental, but adding new ones and updating (pull) ing
them works just fine.
Report any issues whatsoever :)

Gay kids punished more harshly
Timothy Kincaid
December 6th, 2010
The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health spent years gathering information about youth. And, as a part, they looked at gay youth and how they fare. Interestingly, they found that gay kids are punished more severely than heterosexual kids for the same infractions. (WaPo)
The results showed that, for similar misconduct, gay adolescents were roughly 1.25 to 3 times more likely to be sanctioned than their straight peers.
The greatest inequalities were with girls.
The sexual-orientation disparity was greatest for girls. Girls who identified themselves as lesbian or bisexual experienced 50 percent more police stops and reported more than twice as many juvenile arrests and convictions as other teen girls in similar trouble, the study said.

Our Kombiglyze lawyers may be able to assist people who took Kombiglyze to treat type-2 diabetes and developed cancer (particularly pancreatic cancer and thyroid cancer). Although Kombiglyze has only been on the market for a few years, there is growing evidence linking it to a risk of cancer. Our lawyers are concerned that the drug manufacturers failed to warn about this devastating, life-threatening side effect.
Free Kombiglyze Lawyer Evaluation: If you or your loved one was injured by pancreatic cancer or thyroid cancer after taking Kombiglyze, contact our law firm immediately for a free case consultation. If you file a lawsuit, you could receive compensation for your injury, medical expenses, and more.
Kombiglyze Lawyer
Our Kombiglyze lawyers are concerned about the growing amount of evidence suggesting a potential link between Kombiglyze, pancreatic cancer, and thyroid cancer. We are also concerned about the lack of warnings for many people who used Kombiglyze and developed cancer. Cancer is one of the most serious, devastating side effects that any medication can cause — both financially and physically — and there is no excuse for failing to warn about this risk.
Our Kombiglyze lawyers can help you file a lawsuit for:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Permanent injuries
- Lost income
- Decreased quality or enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death of your family member
- Punitive damages against the drug-maker
What is Kombiglyze XR?
Kombiglyze XR (saxagliptin and metformin) is an extended-release oral medication that is used to control blood-sugar in people with type-2 diabetes. It works by increasing the amount of a hormone that causes cells in the pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that tells cells to absorb more blood-sugar, which has the effect of reducing blood-sugar to a more normal level. The active drug in Kombiglyze was approved in 2009, Kombiglyze XR has been on the market since 2010, and it belongs to a new class of diabetes drugs called "incretin mimetics."
FDA Safety Warnings for Kombiglyze and Pancreatic Cancer
Incretin mimetics are some of the newest diabetes drugs on the market, and there is simply no long-term safety data. Researchers are closely watching patients on these drugs for signals of unanticipated side effects. In one study, researchers examined the pancreases of patients who took an incretin mimetic and died from unspecified causes. Unfortunately, they found evidence of pancreatitis (chronic pancreas inflammation) and pre-cancerous cellular changes called pancreatic duct metaplasia. In March 2013, the FDA issued a Safety Communication to warn about the potential risk of Kombiglyze and pancreatic cancer.
Kombiglyze and Cancer
Kombiglyze and other "incretin mimetic" drugs have been associated with at least two cancers:
- Pancreatic cancer: The active drug in Kombiglyze specifically targets the pancreas, which may increase the risk of inflammation (pancreatitis) — one of the biggest risk-factors for pancreatic cancer. Two of the most popular incretin mimetics, Januvia (sitagliptin) and Byetta (exenatide), were linked to dozens of cases of pancreatic cancer in a study published in Gastroenterology in 2011. Because these drugs are far more popular than Kombiglyze, these reports may indicate a link between Kombiglyze and pancreatic cancer.
- Thyroid cancer: Because this cancer is extremely rare, it is difficult to study. However, the FDA published a Safety Communication after another "incretin mimetic" drug, Victoza (liraglutide), caused malignant thyroid tumors in rodents. Victoza and Kombiglyze are similar drugs, but the risk of Kombiglyze and thyroid cancer is still being investigated.
Do I have a Kombiglyze Lawsuit?
The Product Liability & Defective Drug Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial attorneys that focus on the representation of plaintiffs in Kombiglyze lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new lawsuits in all 50 states.
Free Kombiglyze Lawsuit Evaluation: Again, if you or a loved one was injured by pancreatic cancer or thyroid cancer from Kombiglyze, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a lawsuit and we can help.


text: Mutant H5N1 bird flu virus papers to be published in full Science 03 April 12 by Katie Scott Shutterstock.com Scientists have explained the decision to publish the full versions of two papers on the H5N1 bird flu virus just months after they had opted to release only edited versions.At a Royal Society meeting, Paul Keim, acting chair of the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB), explained how the board had advised the US Government that two papers about the virus be published but in an edited form.The two papers -- one written by Ron Fouchier from Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam and the other by Yoshihiro Kawaoka from University of Wisconsin-Madison -- detailed how they had mutated the H5N1 virus so that it could be transmitted among mammals by air rather than solely by close physical contact, explains Reuters.The fear at the time was that these mutant strains could cause a pandemic if released by accident or on purpose by terrorists. NSABB instead opted to publish edited versions, allowing access to the full versions to only "select scientists,"says Discover magazine.Reuters adds that the decision to censor the papers caused concern at the World Health Organisation because it could "threaten the 'fragile' international collaboration that the WHO had assembled to combat avian flu". In particular, WHO was worried that countries such as Indonesia, which had taken years to persuade to hand over its samples of the flu virus, could stop cooperating.However, on 30 March, NSABB reversed its decision stating that "the data described in the revised manuscripts do not appear to provide information that would immediately enable misuse of the research in ways that would endanger public health or national security."The papers will be published later this year but Discover magazine reports that both authors have since revised their work. Fourchier told the audience at a Royal Society press conference that he has clarified, for example, that the airborne mutants of the virus did not kill the ferrets that were infected with it. "There was a misconception within NSABB about the lethality of our virus," says Fouchier.However, it will be some time before the papers are published. Discover adds: "Both manuscripts still have to go through the usual process of peer review, and the US government hasn't weighed in yet. But should the process now go smoothly, nothing will be redacted from either paper. Fouchier has confirmed that his manuscript will include the full genetic sequence of his mutant strain."Fouchier is also standing by statements he made when the existence of the mutant strains of the virus became public. He described the mutant H5N1 virus as " probably one of the most dangerous viruses that you can make". He told the Royal Society audience: "I'll stick by that comment without any problems. Maybe I'd put it slightly differently next time but it is the truth. Flu viruses are scary and if they acquire the ability to go airborne in humans, they cause pandemics."

Remember in the first [i]Knights of the Old Republic[/i] game when you get to Tatooine and all of a sudden there was a mistake that you ordered a bunch of gizka and you were also informed that one of
Show All

the crates of gizka got loose and that means they're all over the Ebon Hawk now. Typically you have three choices: One – You can buy poison to kill them off. Two – You can convince Nubassa on Manaan to take them off of your hands. Three – You can just leave them there and they'll eventually get off on the Unknown World. What about a fourth choice? Darth Xander brings us a mod that gives you that fourth choice that had me almost falling out of my chair laughing. :lol: You can [b][u]EAT[/u][/b] the gizka.

Okay, I had to throw in the mod SithSpecter made to add to the laughs. :lol: The author added the dialogue option to eat the gizka and apparently they're quite tasty according to the dialog spoken. So if you need a snack every now and then while tracking down Star Maps to find the Star Forge and defeat Darth Malak, you got it.

Showtime announces 'Homeland' Season 2 & 'Dexter' Season 7 Return Date
Showtime will bring back their heavily-watched Sunday night lineup on September 30 when Dexter returns for its seventh season at 9pm ET/PT and Homeland follows with its second season at 10pm ET/PT. Dexter averaged 5.5 million weekly viewers last season, its highest rated season while Homeland retained 4.4 million on a weekly basis making it one of the the most successful freshmen drama series. For Showtime, Homeland's popularity continued to grow and on its Season 1 finale drew five million viewers, Showtime's highest-rated Season 1 finale. Homeland carried that momentum all the way to a Golden Globe for Best Television Drama.
Homeland stars Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison a CIA officer with bi-polar disorder, who is convinced that the rescue of a Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) is part of an elaborate Al-Qaeda mission to be executed on American soil. After a month into the show, Homeland took off with fans, growing its audience and buzz each week, as Danes and Lewis were getting a bulk of the praise along with Mandy Patinkin.
Each week mysteries are built around the three lead characters whether they are stories of absolution, justice or revenge, while investigating the psychological and emotional lives of terrorists and the people who attempt to thwart them. The stellar cast also includes Morena Baccarin, David Harewood, Diego Klatenhoff, David Marciano, Navid Negahban, Jamey Sheridan, Morgan Saylor and Jackson Pace. Season 2 will explore what will come of Carrie's willingness to undergo controversial treatment for her condition as well as the insertion of Abu Nazir into the government.
Dexter, which will conclude with Season 8, continues the balancing act of Dexter Morgan who moonlights as a blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department and a vigilante serial killer at night. Even though each season presents the question, "where do they go from here?" The writers of Dexter always seem to find some way to pull a rabbit out of a hat while becoming Showtime's highest rated series and receiving multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for best television drama series.
The series also stars Jennifer Carpenter, Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Lauren Vélez, David Zayas and James Remar in its regular ensemble, while always welcoming a new wrinkle each season. The bomb we're left to wonder for Season 7 is what happens between Dexter and his sister Debra now that his secret is no longer a secret, and that she loves him? Okay, we always knew she loves him, but in love with him too? Tune in September 30 to find out where Dexter goes from here.

Spring break at CHS
Wednesday, March 7, 2012
This year California High School has a week off for spring break. What do students think about spring break? What do students plan to do over spring break? And what do they think about having a full week off.
Nathanial Caudel said, "I would rather have spring break broken up into several days over the month."
Caudel hopes to still be playing over spring break; however if not he plans on visiting family over break.
Math teacher and track Josh Grotzinger would also like to have spring break spread out because of sports. Also he feels that a week off for spring break will affect the students mindset when they come back. He is worried they will be adversely affected by the everyday routine.
What Grotzinger plans to do over spring break is practice, practice and practice more for the upcoming track season.

Welcome to Fiji!
Article By: Courtesy travelideas MagazineWed, 06 Aug 2008 12:08 AM
One of the world?s most exotic and far-flung destinations, the 322 drop-dead-gorgeous tropical islands that make up the nation of Fiji lie scattered across the Pacific over 3000 kilometres to the east of Australia. It?s a long flight from South Africa, but it?s well worth enduring all that airline food to experience the epitome of Pacific paradise.
Filled with friendly islanders who consider it rude to rush, taking it easy has never been so, well? easy! Of course, if you don?t want to just lounge on a beautiful beach there?s loads on offer to keep adventurous tourists occupied. Take a drive into the hills to visit local villages, snorkel your way through some of the world?s most beautiful coral gardens, surf the ?Cloudbreakers? off Tavarua, dive with manta rays or simply shop up a storm in the capital Suva.
It might be a world away from the beaches of Southern Africa, but for pure South Seas paradise you can?t go wrong with Fiji. Here?s what you need to know?
Exploring Viti Levu
What most tourists who haven?t been to Fiji don?t realise is that Fiji isn?t a single atoll fringed by palms and white coral sands, but an archipelago of over 300 islands each with something to offer. While some tourists head to the Mamanuca Islands or Vanua Levu, Viti Levu is home to both the capital and the main international airport, so you?re bound to spend some time here during your stay.
In the south-east corner of the island you?ll find Suva; the capital of Fiji and a good place to hire a car, change money, get your bearings and start your exploring. It?s also one of the most pleasant cities in the entire South Pacific and boasts one of the finest natural harbours in the South Seas. Home to close on 100 000 inhabitants, the residents of Suva are an intoxicating mix of cultures including indigenous Fijians, Indians, Chinese, Tongans, Samoans, Rotumans, Solomon Islanders, Micronesians and Europeans. The South Seas don?t get any more exotic!
The capital of Fiji since 1883 Suva is the business and trade hub of Fiji, but is also home to some of the country?s most fascinating tourist attractions. To really get a feel for the place, lace up those walking shoes and hit the streets. But don?t forget to take an umbrella? there?s a reason the city is so lush!
Remember; it?s rude to rush in Fiji!
You can see most of the major sights in a one-day walking tour, but in the tropical heat you?d do well to take it slowly. Remember; it?s rude to rush in Fiji!
The best place to start your sightseeing is Thurston Gardens, which is home to a large collection of plants from across the South Seas, as well as the excellent Fiji Museum.
Founded in 1904, the Fiji Museum boasts the finest collection of Fijian relics in the world, so before you head off for a beach holiday make sure you spend some time getting to grips with the history of the islands.
Among the exhibits are a fascinating range of traditional necklaces, pottery, cooking utensils (including a cannibal fork!) and a Fijian war club which even has a few notches on it for enemies whacked in battle. There are also original relics from the famous HMS Bounty which plied these waters back in the day. The museum is open weekdays from 8.30am to 4.30 pm, Saturdays from 9am to 4.30 pm and is closed on Sundays.
Buy a round for the locals
Further up Victoria Parade (which is the capital?s ?main drag? and home to the city?s best shops and hotels) you?ll find the Municipal Market. You won?t find many souvenirs here, but it?s a fascinating place to see Polynesian and Oriental traders hawking their fruit, fish and vegetables to the locals. Upstairs you?ll also find entire stalls dedicated to selling the kava root which used to make the popular local yaqona drink (see side-box). You can enjoy a taste in the yaqona saloon towards the harbour, but if you do remember that it?s the done thing to buy a round for the house. It?ll only cost you a few dollars and will win you instant friends!
To pick up souvenirs and gifts head for the nearby Handicraft Centre on Stinson Parade, which is far cheaper than the souvenir shops if you?re prepared to bargain hard. Pick up a cannibal fork or yagona bowl for the folks back home, or stock up on carvings and cloth for yourself. After all that sightseeing you?ll probably need a rest, so stroll down to ?The Triangle? ? near the beginning of Victoria Parade ? to take a break and watch the world go by. Albert Park, down the road from the City Library on Victoria Parade is also a good place to relax.
Sightseeing is great, but where are the palm-fringed beaches, I hear you ask? What about cocktails on the sand and swimming in turquoise waters, you cry! For that, you need to head west?

|DOBBS-STANFORD CORPORATION Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Modulated Triangular Wave Amplifier - The invention is a power amplifier circuit for providing a signal acceptable for use in audio amplifiers or similar applications without requiring a stable power supply free from fluctuations. An alternating current power supply signal rectified to a direct current signal is processed by two voltage multipliers. A voltage divider establishes a unity gain level, and the variance from this voltage is squared by the first voltage multiplier. This squared voltage is then multiplied with a triangular wave signal to generate a modulated triangular wave signal. The modulated triangular wave signal and a signal to be amplified, typically an audio signal, are processed by an internal comparator to generate a pulse width modulated signal. This modulated signal is processed by a power transistor network and filter to provide an amplified signal to a load device. By modulating the triangle wave signal to compensate for fluctuations in the power supply to the amplifier circuit, noise or ripples present in the power supply are demodulated, eliminating the requirement for a regulated power supply.
