Hello all.3 GND layers: 3, 7 and 11. I want a via to be connected on 3 and 11 but not on 7.using negative shapes.I edit the padstack and change l7gnd "thermal relief"definition from (circle, thermal flash thr_25 size 35) by removing flash thr_25 and keeping circle size 35.The artwork then fails saying: PADSTACKS MISSING THERMAL/ANTIPAD DEFINITIONS: VIA_TEST
... error in film, proceed to next! *** ERROR with l7gnd.art
------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: *** ERROR with l7gnd.artDoes pad definition really need a flash in thermal relief definition?It can't be empty?I sometime did the reverse by putting a thermal definition in the antipad to graphically connecting a pad (without any schematic logic). This works well...Thanks in advance.
you can try to edit the Via PadStack and change the thermal flash in I7gnd layer, make it small than the drill size. then nothing in this layer.By the way, I think the good solution is to use the B/B via, Top-3, and Bottom-11.
hi, leonleeI don't think the smaller flash works.I tryed in that way,and i created the artwork of that layer.When I imported it into the CAM350, i found the pad used in that layer was the smaller flash.Compared with the other really unconnected via,whose pad in that layer was the Anti-Pad, the pad we concerned was not succedssfully seperated form the layer.Soooooo,I still wonder how to disconnect a via and a layer in same net.Kepei,tranfa
Don't know what can be done by editing the padstack, but what I've done is use an anti-etch line on the specific layer (shapes don't seem to work). This is an arc'd line that circles around the via center with a width such that the inside edges overlap and the outside edges are the diameter of the anti-pad you want. Only problem is if you ever move or delete that via you also need to remember to move/delete the anti-etch line.
Hello Randy,Once more,I don't think the circle formed by the anti-etch works in a neg layer.In official document, this kind of anti-etch is not surported in a neg layer.I think this puzzle worth disscussing.So anyone familiar with the process of the manufacturing of PCB come up to solve the Sphenx?
What's about using positive layers?So you can add "no_shape_connect" to the via and it will be voided on all layers.To connect this via on a specific layer, just use a cline large enought to fill the void.But i do have any idea with negative layers.
tfsummer,I responded to your previous thread with some extra detail. See link below:http://www.cdnusers.org/Forums/tabid/52/forumid/5/postid/2470/view/topic/Default.aspxI see two options: (which I have used with success in the past)Disconnect a via on one plane layer of the same net Manually add a void on the plane layer around the via which will causes it not to be connected on specific plane layer. This also works on both negative and positive shapes but to further ensure that it stays disconnected I add a ROUTE KEEPOUT to represent the void in the plane. Of course if you are using dynamic shapes the void will be automatically generated on both negative and positive shapes.Disconnect a via on all plane layers of the same net Attach the property NO_SHAPE_CONNECT to the via which will prevent it from being connected to any shape of the same net on all layer. This works on both negative and positive shapes.Hope this helps,Mike CatramboneUTStarcom, Inc.

Insurance Policy
Health Insurance Requirement Policy 2015-2016
As a condition of enrollment, the University of San Francisco requires regularly enrolled students to have health insurance, both to protect against unexpected high medical costs and to provide access to quality care. The following groups of students are required to have health insurance.
- All undergraduate domestic students registered for 9 credit hours or more (excluding students in Certificate programs, or Online programs)
- All graduate domestic students registered for 6 credit hours or more (excluding students in Certificate programs, or Online programs)
- All international students and scholars registered for at least 1 credit hour or more (including undergraduate, graduate, law, and non degree students)
- All students who reside in University operated housing (including undergraduate, graduate, law, and non degree students)
University of San Francisco has contracted with Aetna Student Health to provide health insurance for USF students. Students will be automatically enrolled in and billed for Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan when they register for the required number of credits.
Please note: students who fail to register for the required number of credits by September 1 (Fall semester) and February 1 (Spring semester) by 5 pm will NOT be automatically enrolled and billed for Aetna health insurance. Therefore, it is the student's responsibility to contact Health Promotion Services within 72 hours to discuss her or his options.
In addition, students who take a leave of absence or withdraw from school and get a full refund (including the insurance premium) will not be enrolled in Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan. These students must also contact HPS within 72 hours to discuss her or his options.
Health Insurance coverage dates
Student coverage will become effective at 12:00 AM on the coverage start date and will terminate at 11:59 PM on the coverage date indicated below:
Annual August 1 to July 31
Fall Semester August 1 to December 31
Spring Semester January 1 to July 31
Summer (only students who commence their school in summer) May 1 to July 31
Coverage is available only to Students enrolling in the health plan and paying premiums. Payment of medical and prescription drug claims incurred by students not fully enrolled in the Aetna Student Health Plan during the coverage period will be the full responsibility of the student. This may include claims that were submitted to, and paid by, Aetna Student Health, if the student later elected to waive coverage, or was not eligible for coverage during the Coverage Period.
All students registered for at least 3 units are eligible to purchase Aetna Student Health Plan. Student registered below the required units must contact HPS during enrollment/waiver period to enroll in the student health plan.
Dependent Coverage
Students' spouses, domestic partners, or dependent children are not eligible to enroll in the Student Health Plan.
Opting out (waiving) the health insurance Charge
Students who can prove that they have coverage comparable (equal or better) to the University-sponsored plan under a United States domiciled health insurance company may waive this requirement each academic year. Domestic students may waive this requirement online.
International students must waive the University sponsored student health insurance plan with Health Promotion Staff to ensure that their health insurance policy meets the minimum insurance requirement established by University of San Francisco, and United States federal government regulations.
Students are expected to maintain comparable health insurance coverage at all times during their waiver period. However, if a student's health coverage is dropped, it is the student's responsibility to contact Health Promotion Services to discuss her or his options.
Waiver Approval/Denial
If the waiver is approved, the student's account will be credited accordingly. However, if a student uses the health insurance, then waives it later or takes a leave, or withdraws from school, the student is responsible for all her/his medical bills. A continuing student will be recharged the health insurance premium if s/he has outstanding and paid claims with Aetna Student Health.
If a student waives in Fall semester, the waiver is good for Fall and Spring semesters. However, students, who waive in the Spring semester, must waive again for the following Fall semester. Students who have waived the plan in a given year or semester are eligible to reenroll in the USF sponsored health plan for the following semester. These students must contact Health Promotion Service office during enrollment/waiver period to reenroll in the USF sponsored health plan.
If your waiver is denied, you must contact Health Promotion Services within 72 hours of your waiver denial at email@example.com or call 415-422-5797.
Open enrollment/waiver periods
Fall semester July 15 through September 1
Spring semester December 1 through February 1
Summer Students
Students who commence their enrollment in the summer session are not automatically enrolled in and not billed for the University-sponsored health insurance plan. These students must purchase the coverage for the summer session or apply for a waiver in order to comply with the USF health insurance policy.
Optional Practical Training (OPT) Students
International students who are completing their OPT are eligible to voluntarily purchase the student health insurance plan and remain covered for up to 1 year.
If you wish to remain covered under the USF sponsored health insurance plan, students must complete the online Health Insurance Enrollment Request Form and submit supporting documents by the waiver/enrollment deadline. Once the form is completed Health Promotion Services will contact you by email within 72 hours regarding the enrollment process.
Leave of Absence
All Students on an official medical or academic leave of absence are eligible to voluntarily purchase the student health insurance plan and remain covered for up to 1 year. Students must contact the Health Promotion Services office during the waiver/enrollment deadline to enroll in the school health insurance plan.
If you wish to remain covered under the USF sponsored health insurance plan, student must complete the online Health Insurance enrollment request Form. Once the form is completed Health Promotion Services will contact you by email within 72 hours regarding the enrollment process.
School Withdrawal
All students who withdraw from school are NOT eligible to purchase the school sponsored health insurance plan.
Special Program Students
Special programs are short-term programs generally lasting between one to six weeks. Students enrolled in a special program, as well as visiting international scholars, are also eligible to purchase the USF student health insurance policy. Student enrolled in a special program may purchase the plan on a monthly basis (i.e., 8/1/15-8/30/15). Partial month purchase is not available.

|To Improve Your Math-Test Score, Write About Your Emotions First
|Female research participants who were instructed to write about their current emotions for five minutes subsequently got an average of 15% more math problems right than other women, say Kathleen C. Burns of the University of Wisconsin and Stacy L. Friedman of the University of Massachusetts. The finding is in accord with past research showing that emotional expression has broad positive effects. It's unclear whether simply talking about feelings—as opposed to writing about them—before taking a test could also improve performance, the researchers say.

Knoppix 6.7 Live Distro
Knoppix 6.7 Live Distro
This month's Linux Magazine DVD features the brand new Knoppix 6.7 Live distro [1] [2]. With its clever on-the-fly decompression, Knoppix manages to store 9GB of software on a single-layer DVD.
Although typically used as a Live system, you can also install Knoppix on a hard drive. Machines supporting boot-up from USB devices can load Knoppix Live from a USB stick. Knoppix version 6.7 [3] uses the 18.104.22.168 kernel and defaults into the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE). This version includes Chromium 12, LibreOffice 3.3.3, and a new version of the ADRIANE (Audio Desktop Reference Implementation And Networking Environment) desktop for blind and partially sighted users.

House Investigates Panel on Civil Rights; Commission's Finances at Issue
Byline: Steve Miller, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
A House Judiciary subcommittee is investigating the finances of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, whose chairman, Mary Frances Berry, is in a dispute over whether her term ends this week or next month.
"We are looking into management, financials, contracting," confirmed Mindy Barry, oversight counsel for the Constitution, civil rights and property rights subcommittee, which has authorized but not yet used a subpoena to obtain the needed information.
The subpoena seeks "all documents referring to all contracts, specifically dealings with [public relations firms] McKinney and Associates and McKinney and McDowell; all documents regarding any fees paid to anyone," said a source familiar with the investigation.
Earlier this year, the commission refused to cooperate in a Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigation.
The subcommittee's inquiry was triggered by unsatisfactory reviews by the GAO, which sought to find out how the commission spent its money.
"It also comes from the fact that over the years, this commission has not been held accountable on a number of levels," Ms. Barry said, adding that while the commission is not "large on the radar screen" of oversight with a $9 million budget and 70 employees, "it is seen by so many as giving a bad name to civil rights, to that cause."
The review of the eight-member commission comes on the heels of an October GAO report that said, among other problems, the panel needed to update its strategic plan. The GAO said the commission's current plan "lacks a firm basis on which to develop its annual goals and evaluate its performance."
The review also said the commission's financial record keeping did not follow procedure, that it failed to associate costs with stated projects, and that in many instances, it failed to follow the advice of the GAO from previous reviews.
"Over the past decade, we reviewed the commission's travel, management and financial practices and made recommendations for improvement," the GAO said, noting that the commission, without an independent financial audit "in at least 12 years," had not acted on a suggestion that a review be undertaken to meet the fiscal responsibilities of the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002, which ended in October. …

Insider Tips: Locks
Competitive Thinking
A genuine multitasking system like Linux runs many processes concurrently. Programs must compete for data access. Assigning locks to files ensures exclusive access and prevents the possibility of data.
Most Linux machines have an MTA, a Mail Transfer Agent. This can be Postfix, Exim or even Sendmail. The MTA either uses a Fetchmail process or TCP to fetch email messages. When the MTA finds a message addressed to the local user, it passes the message on to the Local Delivery Agent (LDA). And the LDA stores the message in a mailbox file, after possibly taking a detour via a filter such as Procmail. If two messages arrive at the same time, the MTA will hand both of them to an LDA process at the same (see Figure 1). Each process will then attempt to write to the same mailbox file, again at the same time. If you are lucky, the messages end up in the right file, but in the wrong order, but you are far more likely to lose a file as the processes overwrite each other's data.

the joy of Non Scale Victories!
Sunday, June 02, 2013
When I started this weight loss journey in January- I was sick of being "SICK AND TIRED' as they say in the addiction field.
I could not get from the house to the garage without being winded- (a very short distance but slightly up hill), I could not go shopping anywhere without a cart and by the time I reached the checkout at the grocery store I was covered with sweat- my back would hurt-
Anywhere we went as a family- I would wanted to be dropped off- in my car I used my mother's handicapped sticker so I could use handicapped parking. There were countless humiliating times when I was working that I could not keep up with people walking from place to place.
One night I was on call and had to go to an ER to see a little boy in crisis and I had to park maybe 1/10th mile from hospital and walk all over the hospital to the right dept- I was so out of shape- I had to stop numerous times to rest and would be out of breath by the time I got there- so embarrassing! Then there was the time I took my dad to drs office and there was literally no chair I could fit in. (I carry at least 70% of my weight from the waist down.)
My younger son was embarrassed by me- my older son was worried about me- I was so embarrassed and humiliated by myself but couldn't seem to change.
When I started in January- I just wanted to feel better and 5 months later I feel so different I can hardly believe it.
Today was a big milestone for me- my family went out to a racino place with a buffet for my mother-in-law's birthday. We parked probably 5 or 6 double rows back- I got out of the car and walked to the building- all of a sudden I'm thinking to myself- "look at you walking- you are actually ahead of the rest of the family"- we walked in and had to go up some stairs- about two flight worth and then walked more into the right section of the restaurant. Now my left knee is not great so I do need to use railing but I was not winded- I was not sweating!
I was very excited and kept telling my sons- "can you believe it?" tonight I walked home from my mom's - just a couple blocks but last time I bothered my back hurt and I was tired.
As I said before- I am 70% butt and no boobs but I had old bras I had bought years ago that were supposed to re-arrange what you had to look a lot better. I can fit in them now! As long as I am dressed it looks pretty good.
I have lost 55 pounds, I am still a little over 300 and have lots more to go but I am feeling so positive. I have achieved the biggest wish I had which was not to be humiliated during "normal activities" These NSVs have totally given me a new lease on wanting to move and eat healthy and keep it up. This weekend I was around a lot of delicious foods but stuck with my fruits, veggies, salad, shrimp, fish and I feel good- the rich fattening food was not really calling my name. I felt satisfied that I could eat my more filling food- which took a longer time and was much more satisfying than a small dense fatty food that took a minute or two to eat.
And I have to thank you all my spark friends- your advice, support and stories keep me going.
To me its like an online AA meeting for food addiction that has been what I was missing before and what is helping me succeed.

Outlook 2013: 3 questions with Lee Allan Smith
Civic leader and broadcasting veteran Lee Allan Smith has been in the visioning business for decades and played a leading role in the planning of monuments, public improvements and celebrations leading up to the Oklahoma Centennial in 2007. Smith also helped make the Myriad Gardens a reality, led in planning of the 1989 Olympic Festival and most recently has pushed for completing funding for the American Indian Cultural Center. He recently visited with The Oklahoman and shared his vision for 2033.
Q. What will the biggest change be in the Oklahoma City metro area?
A. We will see more accessibility into town by train, water and even by air. I expect to see high-speed trains from Tulsa, Wichita Falls, Kansas City and New Orleans. I see a big fast train coming in from Will Rogers World Airport, Norman, Edmond and out by El Reno. It will be a slick, wonderful mode of transportation the city has never seen. Maybe we'll have a riverboat coming into downtown.
The main change you see is it will be the safest city in the whole world — we'll have modern technology, cameras that can tell you when there are crimes are being committed. We have to face up to the reality of tornadoes, and we may have requirements that every home be built with a safe room. But maybe somebody also will figure out how to blast back a tornado.
Q. Will there be physical changes? If so, what will they look like?
A. I think that there will be more skyscrapers. You will see more beautification, more gardens and businesses will soar by maintaining more landscaping. You will see a lot more fountains, statues and outdoor art. It won't all be modern. It will be where there will be something for everybody. We will have an amphitheater downtown, not just the one we're talking about (as part of MAPS 3). It will be bigger, more modern and sophisticated than what we see now in places like Dallas and Florida. It will be partially enclosed, but with ways to bring in cool air on hot summer days. I just know someone will invent a way to get that done.
Q. Where is the most potential?
A. Downtown will remain important, as I've always thought it should. When the (MAPS 3 Core to Shore) park gets going, other things will explode. NW 23 will be big, and we'll see the eastside grow, especially with the adventure district.
The Boathouse District on the Oklahoma River won't be recognizable. During that time, it will be phenomenal, and it will have everything one can imagine. You won't have rock lining the shore — you'll see a boardwalk. The area will be a beautiful place to walk, ride horses and have dances. It will go back to the Delmar Gardens heyday (the riverside amusement park of the early 1900s), but in a much bigger way. We'll see a carousel and Ferris wheel. But it will be modern, with a triple-story carousel. It will be a landmark. And what's going up is already great. Just wait until 2033.

Skip to comments.Exclusive: More well-known U.S. retailers victims of cyber attacks - sources
Posted on 01/12/2014 5:09:43 AM PST by sheikdetailfeather
Reuters) - Target Corp and Neiman Marcus are not the only U.S. retailers whose networks were breached over the holiday shopping season last year, according to sources familiar with attacks on other merchants that have yet to be publicly disclosed.
Smaller breaches on at least three other well-known U.S. retailers took place and were conducted using similar techniques as the one on Target, according to the people familiar with the attacks. Those breaches have yet to come to light. Also, similar breaches may have occurred earlier last year.
The sources said that they involved retailers with outlets in malls, but declined to elaborate. They also said that while they suspect the perpetrators may be the same as those who launched the Target attack, they cannot be sure because they are still trying to find the culprits behind all of the security breaches.
Law enforcement sources have said they suspect the ring leaders are from Eastern Europe, which is where most big cyber crime cases have been hatched over the past decade.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Everyone got a loaf of the most fantastic bread man has ever tasted.
How do we know that these cyber attacks aren't just the NSA adding extra cash to Obama's slush fund?
I was thinking the same thing.
Sounds preferably to me.
I just got new credit cards in the mail - due to Target not using encryption...
That's what I've been saying. This isn't being done by some guy in his mama's basement. Maybe related, maybe not but Moo's had photo ops at least twice at Target. The question is is it this admin who is attempting to crash the US economy or a foreign entity - never mind, same thing.
Perhaps internet commerce is too dangerous to continue. It wouldn't kill us to go to the store and buy what we need with cash. After all, that's how it was done for hundreds of years.
WHAT ARE THEY???? NAMES PLEASE, of the RETAILERS!! What a STUPID story without the names.
How lucky we were. We have a Christmas account we use every year. In November we take the cash and start our shopping. We were at Sears in mid December and got to the checkout , we had'nt brought enough cash with us and planned on using my debit card. The computers went down so we used a check to finish our transaction.
No chance our cards were compromised.
This is starting to smell very very suspicious.
Internet commerce is not going away.
CIA Muslims
Al Quaida
No one overseeing our candy store.
"merchants that have yet to be publicly disclosed."
The last thing they want to do is let their customers
know that they are at risk. That's like when drug addicts
let their fellow drug addicts who overdose die because
they are to afraid to take them to the hospital.
I heard a security guy on Fox a few days ago saying that the people who got data from the Target store got names of banks, and info that they could use to email the customers and try to look like the bank asking for information. Be on guard even though you got a new card!
I know. They don't want to tell us yet, so all we can do is watch our accounts and cards until we know more.
Whenever I get an email from my bank, I call instead of clicking the link. Numerous times I get emails from banks I don't even bank at so I know those are phishing expeditions. Thus if I get one from a bank I do bank at I call. Ensures that I am not being taken.
This reminds me of the old story of the bookkeeper who stole a penny from every account in the firm. Made a fortune over the years.
Automate the same approach. Steal $1.97 every few months from a 50 million accounts. It will add up.
It's not amazon or zappos that got hit but the brick and mortar stores. Some people think it was an insider at Target, who opened a door. Maybe all those HiB visas for tech people are not such a great idea.
Anything can be hacked; I'm surprised it doesn't happen more. Humans are the lead vulnerable point.
I had a need to go to the Minute Clinic at CVS to check on a potential sinus infection over the Thanksgiving weekend and found out that all the nurse practitioner needed to do was type in my name, birth date and driver's license and what popped up on her screen was my entire medical history for all my health, prescription, XRay, and blood test information!
I don't recall giving anyone permission to put my records out there on the 'net! What about the HIPA crap, a doctor or lab cannot tell my husband the cause or result of a visit or test, yet a total stranger at CVS (or anyone else, for that matter) has complete access to it????

A Globally Convergent Method for Lp Problems

Li, Yuying
The $l_p$ norm discrete estimation problem $min_{x \epsilon \Re}{n}$ $\|b-A^{T}x\|_{p}$ is troblesome when $p$ is close to unity because the objective function approaches a discontinuous form. In this paper, we present an efficient approach for solving $l_p$ norm problems for all $1\leq p less than 2$. When $p=1$, it is essentially the method presented in [4], which is globally and quadratically convergent algorithm under some nondegeneracy assumptions. The existing iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) can be obtained from the new approach by updating some "dual multipliers" in a special fashion. The new method is globally convergent. It is superlinearly convergent when there is no zero residual at the solution. The main computational cost of our new methos is the same as the IRLS method: a reweighted least squares solve. Numerical experiments indicate this method is significantly faster than popular iteratively reweighted least squares method when $p$ is close or equal to one.

Germany Aims to Up Sanctions on Iran, Merkel Tells Olmert
BERLIN - Germany hopes to impose further sanctions through the United Nations on Iran because of its insistence to proceed with its nuclear program, Chancellor Angela Merkel said yesterday during a meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
Merkel stressed that the solution to the crisis must be diplomatic, but Olmert has not ruled out a military operation against Iran.
Olmert, who completed a three-day official visit to Germany last night, met with Merkel on Monday for dinner with a few aides. They also met yesterday morning.
Iran's nuclear program was the main focus. Merkel raised Iran's recent missile tests, including missiles with the range to target European capitals. "We are very concerned about these tests," she said.
In the coming weeks, a new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency will be released on Iran's nuclear program and will discuss the degree to which Iran has complied with international calls for an end to its uranium enrichment program.
During their talks, Merkel promised Olmert that the report will represent a point of reference and will not determine Germany's position on sanctions.
"I certainly understand the need to step up sanctions on Iran," Merkel told Olmert. "We will support additional sanctions on Iran irrespective of the IAEA report or that of U.S. intelligence."
A report in November by U.S. intelligence agencies stated that Iran had ceased its quest for nuclear arms in 2003, an assessment Israel does not accept.
Confusion in Germany
The American report has led to confusion in Germany and raised serious debate among defense and political leaders there.
Olmert presented the chancellor with Israeli intelligence assessments on Iran's nuclear program.
During the two leaders' press conference yesterday, Merkel said that "a diplomatic option must be preserved because this way we can have results."
Olmert partially agreed with his host's approach, but added that the military option should not be ruled out.
"We are acting together with other countries in order to create a unified effort of the international community in an attempt to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms," he said.
"U.S. President Bush said that no option should be ruled out, and I think this is an acceptable definition."

Zipping down the side of a mountain on a downhill mountain bike can be incredibly fun, but getting the bike up there ... well, you can pedal the 40 to 50-pound thing to the top yourself, pay to use a zero-exercise chair lift, or add to your bike's weight with an electric-assist motor. In an approach we've seen before in the form of the Mountain Monk, German gear company ORTOVOX is offering another way to get to the summit and back down again. It's called the Mountainskyver TRAIL, and it's a folding downhill scooter(?) that a hiker carries to the mountaintop in an included custom backpack, then quickly assembles and rides back down.Read More
If there is one thing that electric motorcycles are ideal for, it is for ferrying deliveries around congested urban centers quickly and efficiently. And that's just the market Italian-based Adiva has in its sights with the CARGO3 scooter it displayed at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. Similar to the newly electrified Honda Canopy, the CARGO3 is an all-electric tilting three-wheeler (one front, two rear) that features a rear deck to accommodate an optional rear mounting box, plus a roof, deflectors and wiper-equipped wide windscreen for protection from the elements. Read More
The scooter and motorcycle are morphing into a new class of two-wheeled machine, with the power, acceleration, braking and roadholding of the motorcycle, and carrying capacity, weather protection, comfort, safety and ease-of-use of the scooter. The SRV 850 is Aprilia's performance version of the Gilera GP800, which was already the world's fastest and most powerful scooter. It is now a red-blooded Italian V-twin sports bike with a CVT (no gears) and the acceleration to smoke a Bugatti Veyron at legal speeds. With Honda's Integra due to be unveiled in Tokyo, and new entries from BMW, the superscooter class is burgeoning in response to the need for this new class of super commuter.Read More
When it comes to self-balancing personal transportation devices, it looks like the Solowheel, Honda U3-X, Uno and Segway could all be in for a little competition. Portland, Oregon-based RYNO Motors is currently in the process of launching its own entry in the weird-little-electric-vehicles race, which it appropriately calls the RYNO. Like Bombardier's EMBRIO concept, it has just one wheel. If nothing else, that'll definitely get riders noticed.Read More
Three new electric scooters have just been launched by New York's evolve motorcycles. All models use lithium-ion batteries which are said to offer the highest ranges in the industry, feature the latest electrical and charging technologies, and come with one year's roadside assistance. The top-of-the-range titanium model has a range of 60 miles (96.5 km) and a top speed of 70 mph (112.6 km/h), but even the featherweight of the bunch can manage a respectable 40 mph (64.3 km/h). There's also a smartphone app in development, that will allow riders to connect and share on the road.Read More
In a raft of announcements, Honda has developed a highly fuel-efficient, very torquey 700cc twin cylinder engine with a second-generation Dual Clutch Transmission which it will show in three different motorcycle designs at the EICMA 2011 International Motorcycle Exhibition in November in Milan, Italy. The motor will also be paired with a manual six-speed transmission in at least one of those bikes and as it delivers better than 3.7 l/100km and its motor is designed for on-road usability, it is almost certainly the first bike designed for western markets to take advantage of the world's coming gas crisis. Also on display will be Honda's new 125 engine which will be used in its 125cc scooters around the world starting next year and contains an idle-stop system and delivers 25% better fuel economy than current generation scooter engines. Both the 700cc and 125cc engines contain considerable technological wizardry to achieve their goals. Read More
BMW looks set to become the first of the recognized motorcycle brands to begin leveraging the unique advantages of the motorcycle in addressing the quickly changing landscape of urban mobility. The Flying Propeller brand is to create a specialist "Urban Mobility" group, launch two premium, high-performance twin-cylinder maxi scooters before the end of the year, and will unveil a concept electro-scooter later today. Using the large volume of enclosed body space of a maxi scooter to contain all the necessaries, the 60 volt Concept e has a 100 kilometer range, recharges from flat inside three hours at a domestic power point, and the performance of a maxi scooter (expected to be equivalent to a 400-500cc commuter motorcycle). The Concept e will be the first volume production two-wheeler without rear vision mirrors – twin rear-facing video cameras relay what's happening behind the vehicle to two LCD monitors in the cockpit. Very exciting!Read More
BMW has flagged a possible intention to get into the electric motorcycle market with the airing of its E-Scooter concept bike. Designed from the ground up as an electric bike, the E-scooter uses its battery casing as a primary component of the frame. With a regenerative braking system built in and a full charge from a conventional power socket taking less than three hours, the E-Scooter is capable of over 100km per charge, and easily makes freeway speeds.Read More
Although a good while ago now, I still remember the bruising, the aches, and the shame of attempting (and mostly failing) all the latest tricks for skateboard or BMX. Others have faired much better, and the sports have continued to grow in popularity. Bart and Steve Wilson have now designed an interesting hybrid, which takes bits from board and bike to create a unique scooter called the sbyke (pronounced "spike"). Unlike more familiar micro-scooter designs, the sbyke has a fixed-position front wheel and is turned by shifting weight at the rear, it can stand upright on its own, and can take more weight – making it a more attractive proposition for adults as well as youngsters.Read More
Three years ago, Terry Hope was working as an engineer on a Canadian schooner. He wanted to take along an electric scooter, but was told by the captain that he couldn't bring aboard anything that couldn't fit in a suitcase. His response, naturally, was to set about designing an electric scooter that could fit inside a suitcase. Flash forward to 2011, and his home-built solar-electric Kinetic Photovoltaic Vehicle (KPV) is on the road.Read More

I was wondering if at the end of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky), I am able to change my main character? Do I have to get to a special rank to do so, or is it just impossible? By changing my main pokemon, I mean that I'll be that pokemon, even outside of rescues and dungeons. Thanks!

You can control any Pokémon you have recruited before, but only in dungeons. You cannot change the main Pokémon that was chosen by your personality quiz, as this is the Pokémon that is supposed to represent yourself. It's the one that you walk around in town and at the guild with. If you were asking if it were possible to change the one that represents yourself, you can't. If you just meant you wanted to play as a different Pokémon in a dungeon, you can. Just go to Chimecho, add the Pokémon you want to be, then select that Pokémon and select "Make Leader". Then add/remove any other Pokémon you want to take with you. Keep in mind that the Pokémon you choose only affect your Rescue Team, a.k.a., the ones that go into the dungeon.

Every few weeks, someone climbs over the railing of San Francisco's famed Golden Gate Bridge and jumps to their death at one of the highest-profile suicide sites in the world. Local media rarely report the deaths, and few people have seen the dramatic suicides -- until now. Filmmaker Eric Steel's new film "The Bridge," which shows six suicides, premiered recently at New York's Tribeca and San Francisco's film festivals. In recording about 10,000 hours of video, the film crews captured 23 of 24 known suicides in 2004, Steel said, some with just a wide angle photo that shows a splash about 220 feet below. Adam Tanner reports.

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/154,941, filed May 24, 2002.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of reporting systems and methods, and more particularly to systems and methods for capturing identification data of consumers, obtaining additional data from remote databases, and processing the identification data and the additional data to create reports.
2. Background Art
Many types of businesses use the internet to expedite business transactions. For example, retail businesses typically employ data capture devices, for example magnetic stripe readers, to facilitate product purchases in the retail environment. Typically, a consumer presents a cashier with a credit card that includes a magnetic strip. The magnetic strip contains information about the consumer who is making the purchase, for example, the consumers name, the consumer's credit card number and the expiration date of the credit card.
Typically, the magnetic strip reader employed by the cashier interfaces with a system that retrieves and formats the data. The data is then transmitted to a remote device that receives and processes the data transmitted by the cashier's system. The remote device transmits to the cashier's system an indication of whether the credit card used by the consumer is approved.
Moreover, in many retail businesses, for example auto dealerships or large appliance retailers, there exists a need to capture identification data of a consumer for other purposes. For example, in order for an automobile dealer to allow a consumer to test drive a vehicle, the dealer preferably ensures that the consumer has a valid driver's license. This is typically achieved by simply retrieving the license from the consumer and recording a copy of the license for insurance purposes. In addition, an automobile dealership may desire to capture identification data and obtain credit approval from loan agencies or banks.
Generally, the present invention provides a reporting system that includes a data capture device configured to electronically capture identification data about a consumer from an identification card. The system is communicatively connected to a database server that is configured to receive an information request from the data capture device that contains the identification data. The database server is further configured to transmit an information response related to the identification data received. The reporting system further includes scan, record, and report (SRR) logic configured to store the identification data, transmit the information request to the database server, receive the information response from the database server, and create business summary reports.
The present invention also encompasses a method for reporting business data related to captured identification data. The method can be broadly conceptualized by the following steps: capturing identification data; transmitting an information request; receiving an information response; and creating business summary reports based on the information response received.
Other aspects of the system and method of the present invention, and other features and advantages of the present invention will be or become apparent to one with skill in the art upon examination of the following drawings and detailed description. It is intended that all such additional systems, methods, features, and advantages be included within this description, be within the scope of the present invention, and be protected by the accompanying claims.
The present invention can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The elements of the drawings are not necessarily to scale relative to each other, emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the invention. Furthermore, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the figures.
In general, the present invention provides a system and method for capturing consumer identification data and creating reports from the data captured. The system of the present invention captures the identification data, and the identification data is used in order to retrieve additional data about the consumers from a remote database. The identification data and the additional data are stored in a relational database, and the system is configured to allow a user to request a variety of reports from the data stored.
A reporting system 100 of the present is depicted in
IDS 108, 110 each includes at least one database that accepts formatted queries and replies accordingly. For example, Experian™, Equifax™, SecureTech™, and LiquidCredit™ are Internet services that provide remote access to data. Each service receives a database request, and the service transmit additional data, such as personal data verification and credit approval, in response to the request.
SRR device 102 communicates with IDS 108, 110 over a network 112. Network 112 may include an integrated services digital network (ISDN), a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), or any other type of network that allows two devices to communicate. SRR device 102 can be connected via connection 111 to a network or to an internet service provider via a T1 or a T3 connection, via digital subscriber lines (DSL), via a dial-up connection, or wirelessly.
A data capture device 104 of SRR device 102 captures identification data of a consumer, including a client's social security number, driver's license number, address, and name. SRR logic 106 of SRR device 102 stores the captured data, formats the data, then transmits an information request to IDS 108 that includes the data captured. IDS 108 receives and processes the information request. IDS 108 then transmits responsive information to SRR device 102 that contains addition information related to the consumer for which IDS 108 received identification data.
Preferably, data capture device 104 retrieves identification data from a government-issued identification card, such as a driver's license. Data capture device 104 can include an optical character recognition (OCR) scanner, such as BizCardReader™ and CardScan™. Data capture device 104 can include a magnetic strip reader configured to retrieve data from a magnetic strip placed on a government issued identification card. For example, Magscan™ or Miniwedge™ magnetic strip readers are suitable for retrieving identification data. Further, data capture device 104 can include a bar code reader configured to retrieve identification data from a government issued identification card that includes a bar code. A Voyager™ handheld scanner and a Cyclone™ handheld scanner are examples of bar code readers that are configured to retrieve identification data from a bar code. In addition, data can be entered manually via a keyboard or other input device.
Moreover, data capture component 119 preferably includes a data capture device database 121. Data capture device database 121 stores the identification data retrieved from the government issued identification card by data capture device 104.
Further, in the embodiment in
SRR logic 106, when implemented in software, can be stored and transported on any computer-readable medium for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system, processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch and execute instructions. In the context of this document, a computer-readable medium can be any mechanism that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transport a program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. The computer-readable medium can be, for example but not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system apparatus, device, or propagation medium. More specific examples (a nonexhaustive list) of the computer-readable medium would include the following: an electrical connection having one or more wires, a portable computer diskette, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), an optical fiber, and a portable compact disc read-only memory (CDROM). The computer-readable medium could even be paper or another suitable medium upon which the program is printed, as the program can be electronically captured, via for instance optical scanning of the paper or other medium, then compiled, interpreted or otherwise processed in a suitable manner if necessary, and then stored in a computer memory. As, for example, SRR logic 106 may be magnetically stored and transported on a conventional portable computer diskette.
An embodiment of SRR device 102 of
Further stored in memory 124 is a web browser 130, which locates and displays web pages to display device 114. Web browser 130 can be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination thereof, and is capable of displaying both text and graphics to display device 114. For instance, web browser 130 can be Netscape Navigator™ or Internet Explorer™.
The preferred embodiment of SRR device 102 in
Moreover, in the preferred embodiment depicted in
DBMS 125 and associated methodology is preferably a relational database that allows access to the information stored in storage device 115. The architecture of SRR device 102 defines the type of relational database employed. For example, industrial strength relational databases include Oracle™, Microsoft SQL Server, or Informix™, which can be implemented on UNIX-based systems. In addition, PC-based TM SRR devices can include relational databases, for example Microsoft Access FoxPrO™ or Dbase™.
Data capture device 104 of data capture component 119 receives identification data when a user elects to scan, swipe a magnetic strip, or scan a bar code of a government issued identification card. Data capture driver 128 stores the data in data capture device database 121.
Preferably, web application 105 retrieves the identification data captured by the scan of the government issued identification card from data capture device database 121. Web application 105 displays the data in a web form through web browser 130 to display device 114. Preferably, SRR database application 101 retrieves the information from the web form via web application 105 and interfaces with DBMS 125 to store the identification data in SRR database 122 stored on storage device 115.
Identification data preferably includes data retrievable from a government-issued identification card. Types of identification data include a consumer's name, social security number, address, and driver's license number. The format and placement of data on identification cards varies with the type of card being scanned. However, scanning technologies, for example the OCR scanners, retrieve the data by recognizing the format of each piece of data and saving the data to its data capture device database 121 in fields that indicate the nature of each piece of data scanned. SRR device 102 then formats the data that is displayed to a user in a web form created by web application 105. A web form is a structured web page with predefined areas for entering or changing information.
Preferably, once the data is written to the web form by web application 105, the user reviews the data and makes a decision to submit the data to a remote IDS 108. Submission to a remote IDS 108 allows the user to obtain additional information regarding the consumer, for example validity of the government-issued identification card used in the scan or an approval amount for a credit line from a credit or banking institution.
If the user chooses to submit the data to an IDS 108, SRR manager 103 formats the identification data obtained from data capture device 104 and displays to display device 114 in a web form to conform to a service that the user requests. For example, a user may submit an affirmative credit application to a financial institution. As such, SRR manager 103 formats the identification data according to a format specification, for example for a financial institution that provides an on-line credit approval service.
SRR manager 103 then transmits the information request that contains the formatted data. If the user requests credit approval, then the data transmitted to IDS 108 over network interface 120 will include an indication that credit approval is sought and the identification data that allows IDS 108 to obtain credit approval. For example, various credit services process a credit approval request that includes the consumer's name, address and social security number.
After the request is processed by IDS 108, IDS 108 preferably transmits an information response to SRR device 102 that includes data relating to the consumer's credit rating and whether IDS 108 approves a loan for the consumer. In many instances, the financial institution transmits data indicating that the consumer has been approved, has received conditional approval, or has been declined for the specific application submitted. SRR manager 103 receives this information response, and SRR database application 101 interfaces with DBMS 125 and stores the data received in SRR database 122.
In addition to employing SRR device 102 to obtain credit approval for a consumer, SRR device 102 may also be employed as a credit pre-screening mechanism. In other words, a user can scan a consumer's government issued identification card, such as a driver's license, with data capture device 104, and transmit the identification data to an IDS 108 that performs credit pre-screening, for example a financial institution. IDS 108 performs a pre-screening process on the identification and then transmits an information response to SRR device 102 that includes an indication of pre-approval. The user can then inform the consumer that he/she has been pre-approved for credit from the financial institution. In addition, the financial institution can inform the consumer that he/she has been pre-approved, either via U.S. mail or other mode of correspondence.
As indicated herein, SRR device 102 can further be employed to verify and authenticate the government issued identification card. For example, the user of SRR device 102 scans an identification card with data capture device 104. SRR manager 103 of SRR device 102 receives the identification data from data capture device 104 and transmits identification data to an IDS 108. Moreover, IDS 108 is configured to receive the identification data and perform verification and authentication on the identification data received from SRR device 102. The identification information transmitted from SRR device 102 may include a driver's license number, a social security number, a name, an address, or any combination of the identification. In particular, the verification and authentication can be performed on only a driver's license number. The more identification data provided to the IDS 108 that is configured to verify and authenticate government issued identifications, the more accurate the result obtained. IDS 108 then transmits to SRR device 102 an indication of whether the identification data verified and authenticated was found in the remote database of IDS 108. Such information is useful, for example at a car dealership, because many insurance carriers require a government issued identification, such as a driver's license, as a condition to covering a consumer test drive. Real-time verification and authentication of a driver's license may allow automobile dealers to obtain lower premiums from insurance carriers.
Moreover, SRR device 102 may be used by a user to create reports based upon the data obtained by data capture device 104 and IDS 108 and stored on SRR database 122. Web application 105 preferably posts a reporting request form to display device 114. The user selects the type of report to create via user-input device 118, and reporting application 117 queries SRR database 122 through DBMS 125 for the data requested. Reporting application 117 then sorts the data, formats the data, and web application 105 displays the formatted, sorted data to display device 114 for user viewing. In addition, the user can print the reports to a user output device that includes a printer.
Reporting application 117 creates historical performance reports, for example a "Day of week/Gender" report as illustrated in
With reference to
The preferred use and operation of SRR device 102 and associated SRR logic 106 are described hereafter with reference to
With reference to
If the data is valid, then web application 105 displays to display device 114 a web form containing the identification data and including a button that submits the identification data to an IDS 108, as indicated in block 138. The user elects to submit by activating the button via user-input device 118. Web application 105 then provides the user via a web form a selection of services provided by SRR device 102. The user then selects via user-input device 118 the type of service desired, for example a driver's license verification or credit approval.
SRR manager 103 then formats the data according to the type of service requested, and transmits an information request, that includes the identification data and the type of service requested, to IDS 108, as indicated in block 140. SRR manager 103 transmits the data via network interface 120 over network 112.
IDS 108 receives the information request, processes the data, then transmits over network 112 an information response that includes information responsive to the corresponding request. For example, if SRR manager 103 transmits a driver's license validation request to IDS 108, then IDS 108 transmits a request identifier and an indication of the validity of the driver's license. The request identifier is a data field that allows SRR manager 103 to verify the corresponding request to the response being received. SRR manager 103 receives the information response via network interface 120, as indicated in block 142.
Database application 101 saves the received information to SRR database 122, as indicated in block 144. The information is preferably stored, as indicated hereinabove, in a relational database that is suitable to the hardware and architecture employed in SRR device 102 and that is suitable for the traffic requirements of the system. As discussed further here, reporting application 117 creates reports from the data stored in SRR database 122 when a user selects particular report, as indicated in block 146. The relational database structure allows reporting application 117 to submit queries of SRR database 122 through DBMS 125. For example, reporting application 117 can request a report of all credit approval requests sent out over a given period of time.
As indicated hereinabove, data capture device 104 of the preferred embodiment of SRR device 102 includes an OCR scanner. An OCR scanner allows a user to scan a government issued identification card, for example a driver's license, and the data is stored in a retrievable format in data capture device database 121.
As indicated in block 155, the data is displayed for user review in a display form 160 as illustrated in
If the user selects the YES button 167, then, with reference to
As indicated in block 158 of
In another embodiment, in addition to the information retrieved from data capture device 104 and IDS 108 information response, SRR logic 106 can further receive and store additional information in SRR database 122 for reporting purposes. Web application 105 can display an additional information request web form. For example, as indicated in the illustration of a web form 180 in
In yet another embodiment of SRR device 102, SRR logic 106 can provide a reporting application that interfaces with web application 105. Web application 105 can display a web form 192 as illustrated in
In addition,
While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it is not intended that these embodiments illustrate and describe all possible forms of the present invention. Rather, the words used in the specification are words of description rather than limitation, and it is understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Worried about workplace violence in your facility? Researchers have discovered that "mindfully observing" high-risk employees can avert danger and workplace violence.
Through analyzing FBI reports, two University of Texas at Arlington professors discovered that 1 to 2% of employees are prone to workplaces acts of aggression, such as homicide, suicide, or property destruction.
The team suggests that human resource professionals and supervisors identify and manage these high-risk employees by anticipating their needs as well as providing support and resources.
"The cause of these problems are understandable and predictable," says James Campbell Quick, one of the co-authors of the paper. "And many times these violent incidents shouldn't be viewed as random or surprises."
Researchers examined positive and negative deviant behaviors among employees. Positive deviant acts will often benefit the organization, for example going out of one's way to help another. Conversely, negative deviant acts will likely have an adverse impact on the organization and have the potential to put the organization or others in danger.
The study noted that the low intense negative deviant act of incivility is often the starting point of the escalation to more dangerous and violent behavior. Researchers say it is imperative for organizations to keep the employee talking about what it is that bothers them.
The study outlines a four-step approach if the worse should happen:
The paper, "No Accident: Health, Wellbeing, Performance … and Danger," is published by the Journal of Organizational Effectiveness: People and Performance.

Where do you see that? But regardless, HOLY MALARKEY I just looked at how much the clown made in last two days of November selling and pocketing something like $200 million !!! That is crazy.

"Port Hardy (my future home)" Port Hardy by trek06
Port Hardy Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 32 photos
Port Hardy. Now this is where I like to go fishing in the unspoiled area of North Vancouver Island. I went to Port Hardy to get groceries and go for coffee while camping near by.
The town just made me feel like I was at home or wanted to be.
Hope you like bears, they blend in.
(they like fishing too!)
"Bears are everywhere", this applies to the whole area and they mean it.
The area (not the town) also has a high cougar population.
This falls into the Pros: area and with proper precautions it's not much concern. As they say it does help to be able to outrun your friend!
How do you tell the difference between a Black bear and a Grizzly?
A black bear will chase you up a tree and a Grizzly will shake you out of a tree.
Fishing on a bad day beats work on a good day everytime.
- Pros:Scenic, Friendly, Great Fishing, Wildlife
- Cons:Remote, they say it rains alot!
- In a nutshell:I will return
