Boiler gas valve question
The water pressure reducing valve sprung a leak today and water got on to the gas valve. Now the pilot light goes out after the boiler aqua stat cycles a few times. It isn't going out on any consistent pattern. Is it possible the gas valve is bad from getting wet?
If the gas valve ends up being bad. Where can I purchase one?
Thanks for the help.
Google should answer Where to get 1...
Wet gas valve=replace gas valve.

I wish I had written this one Mel!! Thank you!All the bond money in the world is not going to improve the facilities or the quality of education in MPUSD. All you have to do is go to a school site and look at "upgrades" that were completed with state modernization funds. Substandard, shoddy, and unmaintained.
Leadership is the determining factor in maintaining physical plant, and hiring a sufficient number of custodial and maintenance staff is a close second.
Example One: the Monterey Sports Center. Sit and watch sometime.
Example Two: the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Again, go and observe.
In the absence of that kind of leadership and workplace culture of excellence and customer satisfaction, any upgrades and repairs in MPUSD will be reduced to crap again in less than five years. And the suckers who voted for it will be paying for 30.
Letters: MPUSD flunks in priorities
There are 72 comments on the Monterey County Herald story from Oct 12, 2010, titled Letters: MPUSD flunks in priorities. In it, Monterey County Herald reports that:Carmel High School offers 14 advanced placement courses. Pacific Grove High and Salinas High both offer 10, while Everett Alvarez, Alisal and North Salinas High offer nine, eight and seven, respectively.

Call me insame but if money is the issue, then why not look at some true alternative thinking to these problems. For reference, I am using the 2000 US Census Data since it is what determines Federal funding levels.
1. The total student on the Peninsula is 15,545 comprised of 11,704 in MPUSD (75%), 2,149 (14%) in Carmel and 1,692 (11%) in PG.
2. The average classroom ratios are 20.5:1, 15.4:1 and 14.9:1.
3. Enrollment is declining across the three districts.
And the alternative is to combine the three districts. Yes, Carmel and PG will suffer in the short term but the long term gains by consolidating services and administration far outweigh the short term loses.
The bottom line is the Peninsula is SMALL and to have three distinct school districts for this few students is ridiculous. All the schools on the Peninsula are old and difficult to maintain in compliance with State construction standards.
As a wider community, we need to stop keeping up with the Jones' and focus on the word community and what it means.

A problem that most are having with Measure 8 - is this: What does Measure 8 really mean?
Answer: A very large taxpayer bond to finance schools.
Reality: a stopgap that does not improve education outside of physical comfort.
Issue: The MPUSD must maintain compliance with the California Building codes. Right now, every school in the District fails to meet the California Building Standards (Title 24) in multiple areas. Many of these are issues that also fail the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) such as thresholds, water fountain heights, etc.
Problem: MPUSD has known of these areas for years. The buildings are over 40 to 60 years old. Mesaure 8 will be used to remedy many of hte problems. HOWEVER - that is ONLY true if it is managed with fiscal responsibility. Marilyn Sheppard and the School Board HAVE NOT shown an ability to successfully generate and execute either a strategic or short-term vision for how to solve any problems over the past 10 years.
Recommendation: Do not pass measure 8 however support local leadership (i.e., mayors and planners in Seaside, Monterey, Marina and Sand City) to present an alternative plan that can be called before a special board in the Spring.
Conclusion: MPUSD has shown little initiative or ability to think of alternatives except to ask for more money and hold everyone responsible fo rthe problems then themselves. DO NOT give them millions of more dollars to support their quick fixes and fancy ideas. WE need real leadership to stand up and say what is truly wrong and take the LEADERSHIP to fix it.

What happens if the Measure P funds are mismanged and the schools do not come into compliance with California Building Standards (NOTE: justification for the Measure).
For the last two months dozens of people have talked about how something must be done regardless of management. Both the Monterey Herald and the Montereey Weekly endorsed Measure P but read what they said. While endorsements are usually categorical both of theirs specifically cited management issues with MPUSD (though overridden by the educational issues).
That is fine. It is just $110 million dollars of taxpayer monies.
The risk of mismanagement is tremendously high in this school district. MPUSD has shown an uncanny ability to squandor resources first after BRAC and military closure of Fort Ord, then in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and lately over the past three years. Ask a corporate risk manager (or Las Vegas if you prefer) if they would take this $110 million bet.
Propoents are right - this is about our children and future. And if MPUSD is accountable then great! But what happens if that does not occur?
Measure P is a half thought out concept with no implementation methodology presented by MPUSD to the voters. THIS may be the one shot to make a difference.
Taking the emotional baggage of educating children aside, this is an economics decision. And it honestly would have been an easy one had the School Board showed an inclination to properly manage the publics trust the last 15 years. Sadly it has not. And thus we are left with a grasping of straws.
Measure P will not attract new teachers (pay and respect do that) nor make schools look like the glossy Facilities Master Plans without an added $100-150 Million of matching State funds (which are not available).
But Measure P may lead more future residents to look at other districts to place their children if it fails to raise test scores.
Short term wins versus long-term improvement. Measure P sounds nice but even MPUSD has not shown once in their many meetings that they can provide eitehr to this community.

Thanks for the sharing you thoughts " A Different Alternative"
No way Carmel and PG join this mess. It would downgrade their school system.
A larger district should have economies of scale working for them in reducing overhead expenses, but the MPUSD does not realize them. A larger district also means trying to accomodate three cities with diverse needs. The compromise here means that nobody ends up with what they want.
A better idea may be to break up the district. Montery parents would like a system such as Pacific Grove's district. Seaside wants more funds catering to the bilingual and cultural challenges they face. Marina wants to accomodate all the new growth they will see from Fort Ord in the next few years.
All the needs are valid and different. Three efficient and focused districts are superior to one big mess where no group is satisfied.
#69 Oct 25, 2010
Bingo!!!!!!!!!! And the first step in making that happen is REJECTING this bond measure. If it passes Shepherd will be in total control for at LEAST three more years!
#70 Oct 25, 2010
Not sure if I am correct on this maybe someone can put me straight. If the bond passes then I do not think Marina could leave the district because of the debt that would be owed and they would then have to sort major financial issues out. It could then stop the district breaking apart right?
#71 Oct 25, 2010
James- that's a good question but you know, if there's a will there is a way, right?
#72 Mar 31, 2011
OK there are alot of accusations that MPUSD's schools are not in compliance with state building codes, but we have yet to see anyone provide any backup to these claims. I've tried to find something myself, but do not know where to look. Can someone provide a link? I'm having trouble believing all these accusations.
#73 Apr 25, 2011
MPUSD are not in compliance with new ADA and Title 24. However many other districts in California are in the same boat.
School districts have a certain number of years to get all of the old schools up to code.
As these schools are 30 to 50 years old, some are even older, there are many issues that have to be addressed.
The bond money is supposed to get all of the schools compliant, and by doing so there goes your $110 million in the blink of an eye.
Needs to get done by State law and for the safety for all stepping on an MPUSD campus. They are all looking very shabby and dirty too.
As for building code violations? Not when they were built, however, there are many safety issues today. That's what happens when you don't keep up with routine maintenance and don't have the number of staff needed to do the maintenance.
Was there a specific issue you wanted to look up? I might be able to give you a link if you can tell me what you are looking for.

This ETF went up very high in one day, even if this went slightly up today, the fundementals did not change, I expect this to continue to rise in the short term. I would hold and wait for a good gain, sometimes you need a strong heart to make money.I bought my TZA on Friday and made a very good gain yesterday, however, I think the next 60 days will a market slump and this TZA will possibly double in value.CheersAll the best
thanks for the insight...feel better.

Hey, we just featured the updated version of the DR-Z400 and even ran it against an electric bike. However, back in 2005, we decided to go all urban commando on the street-legal Suzuki supermoto. In a road test that reads like a hooligan how-to, then-editor, Sean Alexander, put the DR-Z through its paces.
He battled soccer mom-driven SUVs, rabid St. Bernards and a close encounter with an ocean cliff. Otherwise, it was all in a day's work for the Suzook. In the end, Alexander declares that "the DRZ-SM is just about perfect for its intended usage." What more could we ask for from a motorcycle?
Thought this might have made the list.Oh well…
Four out of the top ten were (gulp) cruisers?!
No wonder JB isn't allowed to call them StoooPid any more.
Haha given that Harley still controls more than half of the entire USA motorcycle market, I'm not at all surprised that their bikes and the cheaper alternatives made the list. The big surprise here to me was the popularity of the monster review. Interesting that everyone wanted to check it out but they're still not a huge seller.
Maybe it's the relatively low (compared to Japanese alternatives) price/performance ratio and relatively high cost of ownership. Or maybe it just looks so good that people wanna check it out but they don't buy because Americans insist on fairings.
For me, I'm in love with it. But if Yamaha decides to bring us ABS on the fz 07, I think I would buy it over the monster. The new Honda cbr650f is nice as well, but a bit porky for my taste. Decisions, decisions.
How many views did this article garner? That wasn't mentioned anywhere, and I'm just curious. I've been a fan since before the $11.94 subscription days, and was one of the few who actually paid the subscription. BTW, since that time you've really progressed nicely. The video production quality of late has been really outstanding (e.g. the Harley Livewire video). Keep up the good work.
I have the listing in order of ranking but not the raw numbers. What specific article were you asking about?

|squamous cell carcinoma- What does this all mean?
May 5, 2002
what does this mean and what is the prognosis in laymans language?? Microscopic exam of the fine needle aspiration smears reveals numerous malignant cells, both singly and in aggregates showing hyperchromatic nuclei, some which contain atypical mitosis. the cytoplasm is somewhat condensed and basophilic in apperance. numerous red blood cells are also noted. the cell button reveals a small fragment of similar cells with suggestive keratin, consistent with squamous cell carinoma. P.S. Patient does not have HIV/Aids
Response from Dr. Dezube
It is indeed hard to believe that all the medical mumbo-jumbo actually means something. What you gave me is the pathology report which basically says the patient has squamous cell carcinoma, which is a very common form of cancer. The report says nothing more than that. The prognosis depends upon many many things.
Where did the cancer start? Squamous cell cancers can start in many locations-- the lung, the head and neck area, the esophagus, the anus, and so on, and so on. Where did the cancer spread? Has it spread to the lymph nodes, to vital organs? What's the overall health of the patient?
Without knowing the above information, no one can speculate about the prognosis. Many many cancers in the squamous cell carcinoma are curable and, as you can imagine, many squamous cell carcinomas are not curable. No one can say based on the info you gave.

This invention relates to a system for testing the attenuation of an electromagnetic wave transmitting medium, and in particular, to a device for testing the attenuation of fiber optic cables. While the invention is described with particular reference to its use with fiber optic cables in aircraft systems, those skilled in the art will recognize the wider applicability of the inventive principles disclosed hereinafter.
Fiber optic cables are finding increased application in a variety of products, and in particular, in aircraft design. Because of this increased use, instruments for measuring attenuation in such cables are becoming more prevalent. One method of conducting attentuation measuring systems for measuring the attenuation in such fiber optic cables is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,253, issued Nov. 18, 1980, and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. The drawings and specification disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,253 are incorporated herein by reference. In the U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,253, a timing pulse is generated in the receiver and combined with a test signal for transmission. These signals thereafter are separated in the receiver and the timing pulse is used to demodulate the test signal to provide a DC level voltage proportional to the amplitude of the signal wave transmitted through the cable. The DC voltage thus developed was compared with a reference signal and the difference between the received DC voltage and the reference signal was displayed as attenuation.
The invention described hereinafter, while applicable to similar attenuation determining problems, differs from the invention described in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,253 in several important design respects. In the present invention, one of the receiver and transmitter is designed to provide what may be considered as a digital signal for processing in the receiver, the digital signal being based on a transmitted reference signal. That is to say, a simple RC network may be utilized to provide a time uniform train of pulses, the pulses decreasing in amplitude by equal decibel values. This train of pulses may be generated at the transmitter and transmitted through a medium under test, or it may be generated in the receiver based on a signal received through the medium from a simplified transmitter. In the first instance, the pulse is used to count down a preset electronic counter. In the second case, the counter counts up. In both cases, the count in the counter after passage of the pulses is displayed as attenuation. When the pulse is generated in the receiver, the receiver, through suitable circuit switching arrangements, may be utilized as an optical power meter. Because of the simplicity of design, the invention provides an extremely low cost, simple and versatile device.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a system for testing the transmission capabilities of fiber optical conductors.
Another object of this invention is to provide a test system for a medium employing a transmitter and receiver, which may be separate units interconnected only by the medium under test.
Another object of this invention is to provide a test device which functions both as an attenuation meter and a power meter.
Another object of this invention is to provide an attenuation meter for fiber optic cables which utilizes digital processing.
Other objects of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the following description and accompanying drawings.
In accordance with this invention, generally stated, a system for testing an electromagnetic wave transmitting medium is provided which includes a transmitter for transmitting a test signal through the medium. A receiver is positioned for reception of the test signal at a spaced location with respect to the transmitter. A circuit is provided for converting an analog signal generated in the transmitter to a pulsed signals for processing in the receiver. In the preferred embodiment, the conversion is accomplished in the transmitter. The receiver includes a counter which is counted down from a preset value by the pulsed signals received at the receiver. Any count remaining in the counter represents attenuation of the medium and is so displayed.

FIG. 5 is a block diagrammatic view of a receiver employed with the transmitter of FIG. 4;

FIG. 7 is a block diagrammatic view of a circuit arrangement adaption of the transmitter shown in FIG. 4; and
FIG. 8 is a representation of the electrical signal present at various times in the operation of the circuit of FIG. 7.
Referring now to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates one illustrative embodiment of transmitter of this invention. The transmitter 1 includes a suitable timing device or clock 2 which is used to coordinate the functions of the transmitter 1. The clock is operatively connected to a counter 3. Counter 3 in turn is operatively connected to a pulse generator 4 along a conductor 5 and to a log amplitude generator 6 along a conductor 7. An output 8 of the log amplitude generator 6 forms an input to a sample and hold circuit means 9. The sample and hold circuit 9 has an output 10 connected to a gate electrode of a field effect transistor switch 11. The sample and hold means 9 is operatively connected to the pulse generator 4 along an output 12.
An output 13 of the pulse generator 4 is operatively connected to the source electrode of the field effect transistor switch 11. The drain electrode of the field effect transistor switch 11 is connected via a conductor 15 to a first input of a differential amplifier 16. An output 17 of the differential amplifier 16 forms an input to a drive amplifier 18.
The drive amplifier 18 powers a light emitting diode 19 which generates electromagnetic wave energy through a beam splitter 20. The beam splitter 20 permits passage of the electromagnetic wave energy through a particular medium. In the embodiment illustrated, the medium under test is a fiber optic cable, indicated generally by the reference numeral 25. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other mediums may be tested with the device disclosed herein. The beam splitter 20 directs a portion of the output of the diode 19 toward a photodetector 21. The output of the photodetector 21 is an input to an amplifier 22 which provides an output voltage proportional to the current signal of the photodetector 21. An output 23 of the amplifier 22 forms a second input to the differential amplifier 16. The feedback from the output side of the light emitting diode 19 provided at the output 23 of the amplifier 22 provides compensation for anomalies occurring in the operation of the light emitting diode 20 caused by temperature variations or variations in the drive amplifier 18, for example.
The generation of an analog log curve is accomplished by charging a precision capacitor preferably with low leakage and good stability, to a precise regulated voltage. The capacitor then is discharged through a precision resistor. This is accomplished in the log amplitude generator 6. At the same instant, the clock 2 is gated to start generating uniformly time spaced pulses in the pulse generator 4. The pulses gate the sample and hold circuit 9, which samples the decaying voltage at the output 8 of the log amplitude generator 6, once for each pulse. The pulse output of the pulse generator 4 also controls the field effect transistor 11 to gate the stepped levels in the sample and hold circuit 9 to the differential amplifier 16. Since the decibel to time relationship is linear, each pulse is precisely decreased by the same number of decibels. The electrical pulses are converted to electromagnetic wave energy at the diode 19, and transmitted through the cable 25.
FIG. 2 represents various wave forms present in the transistor 1 of FIG. 1. It may be observed that the capacitor of the log amplitude generator 6 is charged to a voltage V, and then allowed to discharge through a precision resistor for a time period K. The signal at the output 8 is shown in FIG. 2A. The output of the pulse generator 4 is shown in FIG. 2B. Finally, the signal at the output 15 of the field effect transistor 11 is shown in FIG. 2C.
As indicated, the remaining circuitry comprises a drive and linearizing network to convert the voltage pulses at the output 15 to pulses of light power following the same amplitude relationship. This is accomplished by the amplifier 18 for the light emitting diode 19, which drives the light emitting diode 19 to full capability, or any desired output level. The light delivered to the fiber optic cable 25 or other medium, is sampled by the photodetector 22 whose linearity is a major factor in accuracy. The amplified output of the photodetector 21 is applied in a degenerative feedback manner to the differential amplifier so that the output light is precisely matched to the voltage input of the differential amplifier 16. The accuracy of the match is a function of the loop gain, amplifier stability, and drift terms.
A receiver 30 compatible with the transmitter 1 is illustrated in FIG. 3. As there shown, the light from the light emitting diode 19, after passing through the fiber optic cable 25 or other medium, impinges a photodetector 31. The signal output of the detector 31 is an input at 32 to a transfer impedence amplifier 37. The input signal passes through three stages of amplification in the embodiment illustrated. That is to say, the signal is amplified by the amplifier 37, by a second stage amplifier 38, and by a final amplifier stage and limiter 39.
An output 40 of the amplifier and limiter 39 forms an input to a sample and hold circuit and amplifier means 41. The sample and hold means 41 has an output 42 forming an input to a low pass filter 43 and an output 44 operatively connected to an output side 45 of a data gap detector 46, the purpose and function of which are more fully discussed hereinafter.
An output 47 of the low pass filter 43 forms a first input to a summing means 48. A second input to the summing means 48 is obtained from an output 49 of an adjustment means 50, also discussed hereinafter.
An output 51 of the summing means 48 is an input to a comparator 52. The output 40 of the amplifier and limiter means 39 forms a second input to the comparator 52.
An output 53 of the comparator 52 is an input to a pulse duration filter 54. An output 55 of the filter 54 is an input to the gap detector 46 at 56 and to a strobe and preset means 57 along an input 58. The output 45 of the gap detector 46 is an input to a scaling counter 59. An output 60 of the scaling counter 59 is a second input to the strobe and preset means 57. An output 61 of the strobe and preset means 57 is an input to a presetable up/down counter 62. An output 63 of the counter 62 is an input to a latch and display driver means 64. The display driver means 64 in turn has an output side 65 operatively connected to a suitable display device 66.
Operation of the receiver 30 is relatively simple to understand. The decreasing level pulses from the transmitter 1 are coupled to the receiver photodiode 31 by the medium to be tested, in this case the fiber optic cable 25. As indicated, other electromagnetic wave transmittable mediums may be employed, if desired. The output of the receiving photodetector 31 is amplifier limited to prevent saturation in the stages 38 and 39. The detector amplifier system represented by the stages 37, 38 and 39 need not be linear over a large range as it need only reliable detect the smallest pulse of the total number of pulses in the measurement range provided, and not saturate and miss larger pulses. The sample and hold network 41 is operated when no pulses are present and removes the error that might be caused by diode detector 31 leakage or amplifier offsets. In addition, the adjustment reference 50 may be utilized to set the level of comparator 52. When a pulse exceeds this level, the comparator 52 is triggered to provide an output pulse at 53 and deliver it to a duration filter 54. The filter 54 normalizes the pulse length and amplitude. That pulse information is fed to the strobe and preset means 57 which in turn strobes the counter 62.
Gaps in the pulses or frames are detected by the gap detector means 46. During the data gap between pulse groups or frames, the counter 62 is preset to a number representing the total predecided decibel range. The presetting is accomplished through the scaling counter 59. The detected pulses on the output 55 count the counter 62 down from this preset number. If all of the pulses pass through the medium under test, the counter 62 will end at zero, indicating no loss. Attenuation in the coupling medium results in loss of lower pulses, thereby resulting in a count remaining in the counter 62, that count being utilized for the precise attenuation readout at the display 66.
The scaling counter 59 is necessary for matching the counter display with the reading that represents the amplitude difference between pulses and to provide sum averaging to minimize error from random pulses. Each frame may be counted many times to give an average reading.
It will be observed, by those skilled in the art, the only components requiring great stability in the receiver are the adjustable reference 50 used to set the minimum detectable pulse amplitude and the comparator that detects the pulse. All other components may be commercial grade integrated circuits and components.
As indicated above, generation of the log signal may be accomplished in either the transmitter or the receiver. The embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 accomplishes the analog signal generation in the receiver. Because of generation in the receiver, a transmitter 100 is substantially simplified from that shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 4, a voltage generator 101 forms an input to a preamplifier 102 having an output side 103. The output 103 is an input to a mixer amplifier 104. An output 105 of the amplifier 104 is an input to a light emitting diode driver amplifier 106. An output 107 of the driver amplifier 106 drives a light emitting diode 108 which transmits electromagnetic wave energy through a suitable medium, which again may comprise the fiber optic cable 25, if desired. A portion of the output again is sampled by a photodetector 109, and amplified in an amplifier 110. An output 111 of the amplifier 110 forms an input to the amplifier 104 for the same purpose as previously described.
Referring now to FIG. 5, a receiver 30a is shown in greater detail. The output of the light emitting diode 108 is an input to a photodetector 120. The signal detected by the photodetector 120 is amplified by a transimpedence amplifier 121. The amplifier 121 has an output 122 which is fed, through a resistor 123, to a comparator 124. The comparator 124 also has a second voltage impressed at its input side, developed across a resistor 125. The resistor 125 is connected to an output side 126 of an operational amplifier 127. An input 128 of the operational amplifier 127 is connected to a capacitor resistive circuit including a capacitor 129 and a resistor 130, connected in parallel between the input side of the operational amplifier 127 and ground.
A frame oscillator 130 has an output 131 connected to the gate electrode of an analog switch 132. The switch 132 operates to charge the capacitor 129 through a resistor 133 when activated by the frame oscillator 130, as later described in greater detail. The switch 132 connects a biased power supply 134 to the capacitor 129. The power supply 134 also is connected to an input 135 of a comparator 136 through a resistor 137 and a resistor 139. A zero reference adjustment resistor 140 is connected between ground and the connector of the resistor 139 and 137.
An output side 150 of the comparator 124 is connected directly to a NOR gate 181. The output 150 also is connected to a NOR gate 151 through an inverting amplifier 152. An output 153 of the comparator 136 is connected to the NOR gate 151 at an input 154 thereof and to the NOR gate 181 along an input 155 thereof and an inverting amplifier 156.
The oscillator 130 also is connected to the NOR gates 150 and 151 along an output 160. A scaling oscillator 161 has an output 162 also connected to the NOR gates 181 and 151, respectively. An output 163 of NOR gate 150 is connected to an OR gate 166 and to a flip/flop 167. An output 168 of NOR gate 151 is connected to the OR 166 and to the flip/flop 167. An output 168 of the OR gate 166 is connected to a counter display driver means 170. An output 171 of the flip/flop 167 also is connected to the counter display driver means 170.
The light received at the photodetector 120 is amplified by the transimpedence amplifier 121. In this embodiment of our invention, the light input to the photodetector 20 is assumed to be a steady state level. Those skilled in the art will appreciate, however, that with the use of the modulators or peak detectors, or other conditioning devices, modulated light could be detected as long as the light level is translated into a direct current voltage at ○1 in FIG. 5. The voltage at ○1 is illustrated in FIG. 6 at 6A. Two different levels are shown in that Figure to illustrate the measuring technique.
At the beginning of a measurement frame, the capacitor 129 is charged to a voltage higher than any expected from the amplifier 121. Charging of capacitor 129 is accomplished by activation of the switch 132, which connects the bias supply 134 at the proper designated time coincident with the beginning of a measurement interval or frame. In each measurement frame, the capacitor 129 will first be charged, and then allowed to discharge through resistor 131 upon the reopening of the switch 132. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the discharge of the capacitor through resistor 131 is an exponential decay so that the elapsed time from the beginning of the voltage decay is proportional to the logarithm of the capacitor voltage. The capacitor voltage is used as a reference to measure the incoming voltage with reference to a second voltage.
The comparator 124 adds the decaying capacitor voltage at the output side 126 of the amplifier 127 to the transmitted light proportional voltage at the output side 122 of the amplifier 121 to give a result shown in FIG. 2B. The comparator output is positive when the voltage output at 126 exceeds the magnitude of the voltage output at 121 and is zero when the reverse is true. The comparator 136 functions in the same way in that it produces a positive voltage at its output side 153 when the capacitor voltage exceeds the reference voltage from the bias power supply 134 and the output at 153 is zero when it does not. The outputs 150 and 153 of the comparators 124 and 136, respectively, establish two truth conditions to open two different NOR gates, 181 and 151, respectively. The NOR gates 181 and 151 will be high only when all of their respective inputs are low. All inputs to NOR gate 181 are low when the capacitor voltage is lower than the voltage at the output side 122 of the amplifier 121 and higher than the reference voltage at 135 to the comparator 136. The inversion of logic on comparator 136 causes the inversion of the comparison between the voltage at 135 and 126. Also required for the NOR gate 181 to go high is that the frame oscillator be low in the measurement interval. The input from the oscillator 130 is necessary only to reduce the possibility of a spurious count during the reset operations, and the scale oscillator 161 to be low. During the time of the first three low conditions, the frame oscillator 130 will go high and low many times since its purpose is to time the interval of time that the capacitor voltage is between the value of the input voltage to the receiver 30a and that of the reference voltage provided by the biased power supply 134. The result is that a burst of pulses at the scale oscillator 160 frequency appears at the output 163 of the NOR gate 181 where they are gated to the counter 170 through OR gate 166. These counted pulses are transferred to the display 170 at the end of the frame and represent the time interval for the capacitor to decay between the two voltages. This time interval may be scaled and subdivided into any count so that it will digitally represent the measurement on a log scale. In the case of light, the units generally are in decibels which are equal to ten times the log to the base 10 of the output at 122 divided by the voltage at the input 135 to the comparator 136. The scale oscillator 161 may be adjusted to a frequency of one count per decibel, or at higher frequencies, for ten or hundred counts per decibel with the decimal point being positioned accordingly.
The second group of pulses shown in FIG. 6E are those present at the output side 168 of the NOR gate 151. They perform the same function as the pulses at the output 163 except that all of the logic is inverted so that the measurement is of a voltage below the reference. Consequently, the sign on the counter display is negative, the negative sign being occasioned by the resetting of the flip/flop 167 so that the sign bit is minus. The second count frame in FIG. 6E represents this measurement, that is to say, where the input voltage is lower than the reference voltage.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that variations of the particular circuit arrangement are possible, and that other devices and scale measurements may be utilized, if desired. One particularly important variation changes the arrangement of capacitor 15, amplifier 127 and resistor 16 so that they form an integrator that is reset by the switch 132. That variation is shown in FIG. 7. As there shown, the switch 132 is connected to one side of resistor 131. The other side of resistor 131 is connected to the input side of amplifier 127. The resistor 133 is connected between an input voltage source on the input side of the amplifier 127. The capacitor 129 is connected between the output and input sides of the amplifier 127. The output side of the amplifier 127 is an input to the comparator 136. This rearrangement allows the capacitor 129 voltage to decrease linearly, as shown in FIG. 8. In this arrangement, the circuit produces a linear scale system useful in measuring linear functions such as temperature or voltage.
Numerous variations, within the scope of the appended claims, will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description and accompanying drawings. For example, various minor changes may be made in the circuits disclosed, without departing from the scope intent of our invention. While a number of the circuits are shown and described in the block diagrammatic format as single lines, those skilled in the art will recognize that single line connections in block diagrammatic form often are multiple physical connections in actual embodiments of the invention. If additional information on the counter 170 is desired, it may be obtained in the Intersil Data Book, 1981 available from Intersil Inc., 10710 N. Tantair Avenue, Cupertino, Calif. 45015. These variations are merely illustrative.

Mind control: How behavioral therapy could help Tourette's sufferers manage their tics
- After training 38 per cent of sufferers had much improved compared to just six per cent of the control group
Pete Bennett, who won Big Brother 7, was diagnosed with Tourette's when he was 14
Tourette's sufferers could learn to control their tics by focusing their minds, a study has found.
They could manage their embarrassing and sometimes inappropriate tics using behaviour therapy by learning to recognise their onset, it says.
The neurological condition causes people to make repeated, jerky movements or grunting or coughing sounds.
t times, the tics may be more complex, such as cursing or moving around, and can be agony for the sufferer.
Medications such as antipsychotics are sometimes used to quell the
symptoms. Unfortunately, they often come with serious side effects such
as sedation, movement problems or weight gain.
Now researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston have found a new effective therapy.
Study author Sabine Wilhelm, said: 'It is something that has created a lot of excitement in the field, because now we can finally treat neurological disorders with psychological interventions.'
The study tested a new kind of therapy called Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics, or CBIT, which grew out of an earlier behavioral technique.
Wilhelm explained that it focuses on creating awareness of oncoming tics and their triggers, so that people have a chance of controlling them before it's too late.
CBIT also teaches people to counteract the tic in subtle ways, for instance by balling up their fists if they feel compelled 'to give someone the finger.'
The researchers assigned 122 people over age 16 - most with Tourette's and some with a problem called chronic tic disorder - to one of two groups.
One group got eight sessions of CBIT training, while the other, comparison group, got only supportive treatment and education.
The condition affects the brain and nervous system and is characterised by involuntary, random sounds and movements, known as tics.
Most sufferers have a mixture of both, though they can be simple (such as blinking or coughing) or complex (such as head shaking or swearing).
It is surprisingly common affecting one in 100 in some form.
Although not usually a threat to health, the tics can can social isolation, embarrassment and low self-esteem.
The cause is unclear but thought to be due to a malfunction in the part of the brain called the basal ganglia.
Children who develop the condition often have associated conditions such as obsessive compulsive disorder or ADHD.
Treatments include medication such as clonidine and behavioural therapy.
Two thirds of people will experience a marked improvement in their symptoms, usually around 10 years after they first began.
At the end of the training, 38 per cent of people in the CBIT group had much or very much improved, compared to just 6 per cent of the comparison group.
The CBIT group also saw a 26 per cent decrease in the severity and frequency of their tics - more than double the improvement in the other group.
'Patients were so grateful, they would say things like, "This gives me a way to manage my tics, I now feel like I have control over my body",' Wilhelm said.
'We also had three and six-month follow-ups and the treatment gains were maintained over time.'
While the therapy is not yet widely available, her group has been working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to train health professionals in the technique. So far, they have reached more than 2,000 providers, Wilhelm said.
The new study expands on earlier work in children by Wilhelm's group, which found similarly encouraging results.
Around three of every 1,000 children have Tourette's and the condition is less common in adults.
'These two studies on behavior therapy… are by far the largest studies that have ever been done in terms of treatment of Tourette disorder,' she told Reuters.
'This is hopefully just the first step.'

Arizona Medical-Marijuana Law Debated in Court; Judge Criticizes Wording of 2010 Law
Medical marijuana in Arizona faces an important court decision in a case that local prohibitionists see as a weak link in the voter-approved 2010 pot law.
Arizona Republic reporter and rapid-fire Tweeter Yvonne Wingett-Sanchez has been filing live updates from the courtroom this afternoon. The hearing's over, but you can still check out her posts if you're interested in this case. Click here to read her updates.

We just read through her tweets and saw that Maricopa County Superior Judge Michael Gordon has made at least two statements that don't bode well for medical-marijuana advocates:

"Ultimate irony is that Arizona could have decriminalized pot and said it's not going to be prosecuted under state law."
"Maybe the lesson to be learned is voters ought not have been so directed in telling the state how to enforce its statutes."
Those quotes from the judge, as relayed by Wingett-Sanchez, seem to indicate that Gordon doubts that the law, as it's written now, can handle the challenges presented by anti-marijuana state officials Tom Horne, the state Attorney General, and Bill Montgomery, Maricopa County Attorney.
The two Republicans don't like what voters have done, and they're bent on demolishing it.
In August, Montgomery and Horne jumped into a lawsuit filed against the county by the White Mountain Health Center, a company that plans to open a medical-pot dispensary in Sun City. County officials denied the company any information about zoning rules, making it unable to comply with a state regulation that requires zoning rules to be listed in a dispensary's application. The two lawmen figure the case is the perfect opportunity to argue that the law itself is unconstitutional and should be nixed because, in their view, it authorizes the breaking of federal law.
Lawyers for White Mountain, including some with the American Civil Liberties Union, believe the law doesn't authorize anyone to break federal law, but decriminalizes the use and sale of pot for registered patients and dispensaries.
Gordon says he'll try to get a decision out in a timely manner.
Marijuana has become a hot topic in the western United States this election season: Washington, Oregon and Colorado voters will decide next month whether to legalize pot outright.
Ironically, as those states prepare for the possibility of legal marijuana for all, Arizona's right-wing prohibitionists still want to throw anyone in jail who dares possess a grain of marijuana -- even patients with multiple sclerosis and cancer.

Late Civil War Rigdon&Ansley Colt Navy copy
Manufactured in Augusta, Georgia, at the time Confederate States of America.
This copy, made possible by the secession of the South during the American Civil War (effectively rendering all Northern patent obsolete in the South), is in almost every similar to a Colt 1851 Navy. It has however twelve cylinder stops, allowing it to be carried safely, and its barrel isn't fluted like a '51 Navy.
Serial number 1581, .36 cap and ball, six-shooter.
I like confederate revolvers, they're like regular Colts but with a bit more personality.

Medicare Faulted in Forgiving Over $200 Million in Debt
Published: March 26, 2000
(Page 2 of 2)
But the General Accounting Office said the settlements were ''apparently unjustified'' and would not have been approved if Medicare officials had followed the statutory criteria for compromising government claims.
In any event, the accounting office said, the agreements should have been reviewed by government lawyers because Medicare officials were ''relinquishing the government's right to recover tens of millions of dollars.''
The settlements not only wiped out the health care providers' debts to the government, but allowed them to be paid in the future for some costs that would not otherwise be covered by Medicare, the accounting office said. The disputed hospital charges included bills left unpaid by patients.
Medicare discovered the disputed charges in regularly scheduled audits that covered several years.
Mr. Booth, who has worked for the Medicare program since it started in 1966, told investigators that the agreement with the Health and Hospitals Corporation ''allowed past poor practices to be carried into the future.''
Mr. Booth told investigators that Mr. Vladeck, a former member of the board of the Health and Hospitals Corporation, had urged him to ''move faster'' in arranging a settlement. Mr. Booth said he replied that speeding up the settlement process could cost the government $8 million to $10 million, but he said Mr. Vladeck told him that ''time was more important than money.''
Likewise, Mr. Booth said, he did not consult any lawyers because they would have delayed the settlement, and such delays would have displeased administration officials.
Jean Ohl, a federal Medicare official in California, expressed ''major concerns'' about the settlement with Los Angeles County, saying it appeared to be ''a political action'' to circumvent Medicare requirements. In an e-mail message to Medicare officials in Washington, Ms. Ohl said, ''We believe this agreement is not in Medicare's best interest'' because it does not protect the Medicare trust fund.
In New York, the Visiting Nurse Service had, on the average, billed Medicare for three times as much as the government allowed for home health aide visits, and it justified such claims by saying that patients tended to be sicker there. But federal investigators said the nurse service never provided evidence or data to support that contention.
In carrying out its review, the General Accounting Office examined 96 settlement agreements that Medicare officials negotiated with health care providers over the last decade. In each case, Medicare asserted that the providers had been overpaid.
In 93 of the cases, the General Accounting Office found nothing illegal or improper. But it said the Health Care Financing Administration had acted improperly in the three largest cases, which accounted for two-thirds of the money at issue.
Michael Hash, deputy administrator of the Health Care Financing Administration, said the agency had formed a ''work group'' to analyze its debt collection procedures.

Nirvana and the Clash are the perfect bedtime listening for toddlers, reckons new label Punk Rock Baby. Anything for a good night's sleep, says Peter Paphides
For adolescents, it was a thrill - the first music they owned. Singles survive in the CD age as bootlegs and indie specials. Their covers alone tell the story of pop. Peter Paphides hails the mighty 45.
They raced from zero to inner-city heroes in one summer, then stalled in scandal. But don't write off So Solid - there's a serious business brain behind the basslines, reports Peter Paphides.
Today's pop stars, say their critics, aren't half as talented as their predecessors because they have little or nothing to do with writing their songs. But that misses the point, says Peter Paphides. Kylie and Robbie aren't really so very different from Elvis or Frank. In pop, the songwriter has always been the power behind the throne.
People were often a bit sneery about Abba, born of Eurovision, duded out in satin and feathers, quintessentially pop. Only years after the group broke up did it become clear quite how well loved they always were. The songwriters, Björn and Benny, have survived divorces and derision to win, at last, the acclaim they missed. They celebrate with Peter Paphides.

As the base for all the make-up you apply to your face, foundation can play a huge part in whether your look becomes a success or a flop. There are two major decisions to be made when it comes to selecting the right foundation for you - color and consistency. The first is imperative because the tone of the foundation you choose must blend well with the natural tone of your skin. It is important that the line where you have stopped applying the foundation is not evident. By matching the foundation to your skin tone as closely as possible you are able to avoid any color conflicts. Selecting a foundation tone that most closely matches your skin tone will also help to enhance your own natural beauty.
The second choice to be made is perhaps a little more difficult - whether to choose a powder foundation or a liquid foundation. For some the choice may seem simple. Many people who have been using foundation for years have found one that they stand by and would never dream of switching. However, for those who are new to the world of make-up or for those who are not satisfied with their current foundation, the choice between a liquid or powder foundation may be more difficult.
If a number of women were polled to find out whether they prefer liquid or powder foundations, it may become evident that many women seem to opt for liquid foundation. Many people feel that liquid foundation is the quickest and easiest to apply which makes it a more practical choice for women who use the product on a daily basis. Liquid foundation tends to blend with your natural skin better than powder foundation and also prevents your face from having a glossy, shiny appearance. For those who seek a more natural appearance from their make-up, they may find that liquid foundation best suit their needs.
Powder foundations may not give quite as natural a look as liquid foundations, but they are equally as easy to apply. In fact, since powder foundation does not take as long to blend as liquid foundation, many find that the application of powder foundation takes less time than that of liquid foundation. Powder foundations can be a perfect choice for people with excessively oily skin. The powder foundation can help to dry out skin and can also be handy on days when a lot of perspiration may occur. The dry, powdery foundation keeps skin dry and cool. Some foundation-wearers also report that powder foundation gives a lighter feel than liquid foundation. This means that after application you are less likely to feel as if you are wearing foundation at all. In addition to providing a light and airy feel, another benefit of powder foundation is that it blends well with sunscreen. For women who find themselves outside in the sun often, powder foundation may be a smart choice.
The choice between powder and liquid foundations does not stop there. Many make-up companies have recently developed liquid-to-powder foundations in an attempt to blend the benefits of both liquid foundation and powder foundation into one product. Like powder foundations, liquid-to-powder foundations tend to feel light when applied to the skin. In addition, liquid-to-powder foundations also provide long lasting wear. However, this type of foundation can clash with certain types of skin. Although liquid-to-powder foundation works extremely well on oily skin, it can prove to be a bad choice for people who have dry skin, as it can leave dry skin looking patchy.
The best way to decide on the most appropriate foundation type for you is to get as much information as possible and try out all the options. Visiting a make-up manufacturer can help you decide on a foundation. Talking with either a make-up artist or even a dermatologist can help you make up your mind as well. A dermatologist can also provide an intellectual view on what type of foundation is the healthiest choice for your skin. If you have had skin problems in the past you may find it helpful to consult with a professional such as a dermatologist. Whatever way you choose to pursue finding the best foundation for you, once you have found the right choice you will likely be satisfied with the result

Data Protection - Do You Have a Plan?
Can one answer the big questions? How does one manage more data while reducing storage costs? How does one proactively monitor systems to avoid problems that could cause data loss? How does one ensure a quick recovery in case of an unplanned outage? Is one really backing up their data? With the number of people that expect immediate access to the huge amounts of data in the business, it's more important than ever that one is able to quickly resume operations in the event of a disaster or disruption. And typically, you're the one on the hook to make sure the data is always protected.

Yellow Pages Publisher Dials Up Tegile Systems To Power Virtualization And SAN Upgrades
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. and NEWARK, Calif., April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- US-Yellow ( http://us-yellow.com) is an independent yellow page publisher with consumers referring to Yellow Pages more than 15 billion times a year, with Yellow Pages a strong revenue producer in addition to the company's online and CD directory products. US-Yellow is a top resource for finding information online, in addition to its print directory and directory on CD. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130215/LA61196LOGO)US-Yellow operates a database-heavy IT infrastructure with multiple large SQL databases as well as Microsoft Exchange, PostgreSQL, and custom SAP applications. It recently undertook a major IT upgrade, adopting server and desktop virtualization platforms for the first time and making the transition from local server-attached storage to a high-availability Storage Area Network. Ben Croxton, IT Director at US-Yellow, was well aware of the storage challenges of a virtualized environment, such as the I/O blender effect of server virtualization and the extreme I/O demands of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure deployment. To mitigate the I/O challenges of a virtualized infrastructure, Croxton sought out a flash-assisted storage solution but was frustrated by what he found. "I was looking for SAN storage that I felt comfortable using both for production servers and VDI at the same time," he said. "But after speaking to several larger vendors I realized they either did not have an applicable solution, or their solution was far beyond my price range." Croxton narrowed his choice down to commercial SSD-hard disk hybrid arrays from Nimble Storage and Tegile Systems ( www.tegile.com). The decision was an easy one, he said, with Tegile offering better hardware, better pricing, more storage capacity (Tegile Zebi arrays boast almost a 4x flash capacity advantage per array compared to Nimble), and an honest, up-front sales process with excellent customer service. Tegile's Zebi arrays bring a new approach to high-performance network storage with an innovative hybrid design that leverages the high performance of SSDs and the low cost-per-terabyte of capacity hard disk drives. The Tegile storage array delivers up to seven times the performance and up to 70% less capacity than legacy arrays. And unlike legacy arrays where any additional storage services require additional license fees, everything needed is built into the Zebi arrays, with a full range of storage services, including backup snapshots, remote replication, inline compression and data deduplication, application optimized templates for fast and easy storage provisioning and one-click deployment of virtual machines and virtual desktops.
