Quintin Berry reintroduces himself to Red Sox as member of Orioles
|03.02.14 at 12:11 pm ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — While Doug Flutie was holding court by the Red Sox' batting cage, with Carl Yastrzemski standing just a few feet away, another notable name passed by on the way to the JetBlue Park visitors' dugout — Quintin Berry.
Shaking hands with former Red Sox teammates, while waving to those in the field, Berry drifted onto the pregame scene prior to Sunday's spring training tilt between the Sox and Orioles virtually unnoticed by media and fans. But when you've done something — anything — to help a team win a World Series, your presence is at least of some note.
Berry played in just 13 games (collecting nine plate appearances) during the regular season for the Red Sox in the 2013 regular season, but, nonetheless, he left somewhat of a mark.
Not only did the outfielder collect five hits with a walk, but accomplished what the Sox were hoping he could when acquired from Kansas City in exchange for Clayton Mortensen. Berry swiped one bag in each of the Red Sox' three playoff series, including one against Cardinals' catcher Yadier Molina in the eighth inning of the Sox' Game 4 World Series win.
After the championship parade, however, Berry understood he might have to move on.
"Supposedly a little bit, but I know they had a couple of things in mind they wanted to do, some guys they wanted to try and give experience to," said Berry regarding the Red Sox' interest in the offseason. "So I just wanted to test the market and see what else I could do.
"In my career I've been all over the place. I understand the business part of it. I'm grateful I got an opportunity to be part of that team last year. It was an amazing team. With the business part of it, you have to keep shopping around. All you want to do is play in the big leagues. It doesn't matter for whom. Just keep on getting opportunities and be grateful for the ones you have."
Berry is still somewhat of a long-shot to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster, having joined Baltimore on a minor-league deal. But having seen how fortunes can change in a hurry — going from Triple-A Omaha to a World Series a season ago — the 29-year-old is keeping an open mind.
If nothing else, the speedster used the opportunity with the Red Sox to show he could thrive in all kinds of roles.
"It was a part of my game I wasn't used to," Berry said of playing part-time. "I didn't do much in my career, having played every day. Coming off the bench, it was a good experience to have that and to have some success to help me in my future.
"I'm just out here playing. I've done it all so I'm prepared for anything."

Travel Troubles
Luxury hotels rarely find themselves in the middle of a storm of controversy, which is why the current furore around the sumptuous Dorchester Collection raises moral questions for travellers with concerns about human rights issues (which I hope is all of us).
The issue itself is simple on the face of it. The Dorchester Collection is a portfolio of many of the world's most famous hotels; it includes the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles, Le Meurice and Plaza Athenee in Paris, the Principe di Savoia in Milan and the iconic Dorchester in London.
The hotels are owned by the Sultan of Brunei, that oil-rich state on the north coast of Borneo. The Sultan has recently enacted a strict Sharia penal code in his small nation, which heinously condemns homosexuals and adulterers to death by stoning, with other offences punished by flogging or loss of limb.
This has enraged many loyal Dorchester guests and human rights activists, starting with Ellen de Generes, one of the celebrities who regularly patronises the Beverly Hills Hotel.
She tweeted on April 22 she would boycott the hotel. The numbers of people joining the boycott have snowballed since.
Stephen Fry cancelled a book signing at the Dorchester's Coworth Park. Virgin chief executive Richard Branson announced that no Virgin employees would be allowed to stay at a Dorchester hotel. US Vogue editor Anna Wintour said, "I cannot in all good conscience stay there, nor can Vogue's editors". Gucci owner Francois-Henri Pinault also banned employees on business from the hotel group. These boycotts particularly affect Le Meurice and the Principe di Savoia as they are the main editors' fashion week hangouts.
On the other side of the argument, enter Russell Crowe, who tweeted, "I don't agree with the boycott of Dorchester Collection hotels. It only hurts the hardworking staff who I consider friends". While the group's CEO Christopher Cowdrey has pledged he will protect the jobs, wages and benefits of his employees through the boycott, Our Russ has raised the issue that unsettles many when a discussion of a boycott arises: who does it hurt and what effect does it have?
The boycott might cause the Sultan a ripple of chagrin but it's unlikely to dent his massive wealth. I've read the Dorchester's £300 (NZ$593.19) million annual revenue is ploughed back into the hotels and it's the Brunei Shell Petroleum Company - to which many of us find ourselves connected - that creates the most wealth for the nation.
Those against the boycott point out that many other nations - Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, for example - punish homosexuality by death. Interests from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, in particular, own hotels, hotel groups, airlines and luxury brands we may frequently patronise. Why limit the boycott to Dorchester?
As Crowe tweets, the alternative is to "Pressure your govt to cease trade contact, refuse to use Brunei oil".
I've always felt queasy about boycotts but I do understand the urge to protest in this way. Maybe the boycotters know they won't succeed in changing Brunei's harsh laws but they figure it's a platform to point out injustice. I don't think it's matter of arguing, "It's their culture and laws, so butt out". I think there are many injustices that reflect on humanity in general as well as in particular.
And sometimes there's a line in the sand.
My line concerns Egypt. Not only am I outraged by the Egyptian government's imprisonment of Australian Al Jazeera journalist Peter Greste and colleagues but I've long been concerned about the country's treatment of women - from prevalent female genital mutilation to what seems to be widespread sexual abuse. Greste was the tipping point.
The Egyptians won't care if I visit or not. I know my personal boycott isn't going to change anything politically. But, for me, it would feel wrong in all conscience to take this step until Greste is fairly tried, at least. My feeling is not that the Brunei protest is misguided, just that it's directed at the wrong entity. But we all have to examine our consciences and do what we feel best.
That's another kind of journey - the most important one.

NANTICOKE - The place where Eric Williams is memorialized is a spot he must have passed by frequently.
Growing up in Nanticoke, he would have been close every time he drove down South Prospect Street. He wouldn't have been far away during his time as a student at Luzerne County Community College, either.
A plaque commemorating Officer Williams, who died after an attack while he was on duty at the U.S. Penitentiary at Canaan, now hangs in the college's Walk of Honor. Family, friends, fellow correctional officers and government officials gathered Saturday to remember him.
"It's nice to know that there's a plaque in his honor in the town he grew up in and the school he attended," said Donald Williams, Eric's father. "That's particularly comforting."
Officer Williams, 34, was the only guard on patrol at the federal prison when police say an inmate attacked and killed him in February. That inmate, Jessie Con-ui, was a member of an Arizona gang serving an 11-year sentence for his part in a drug trafficking operation. He was scheduled to complete that sentence in September and return to Arizona to serve another prison sentence for murdering another gang member in 2002.
Mr. Con-ui pleaded not guilty Tuesday to Officer Williams' murder.
The support after his son's death has been a comfort to the family, Mr. Williams said.
"We just have a lot of gratitude for that," he said.

I have one question here. What is the very lowest credit score that I could possibly have and still be able to meet the mortgage loan qualifications for a new home purchase?
Nice question here. Sadly, the lowest credit score lenders are allowing these days is no where near what it used to be. But when you think about, it is better for us all when the credit score requirements is higher since this indicates your ability to repay the mortgage.
At one time, I remember that people could buy a house with scores as low as 500. This was a sub-prime loan and these were the loans that began the fall of the banking system back a few years ago.
Because people with such low scores could buy a house, this created some serious problems in the mortgage market and thus the deflating of our property values.
Now it requires a 620 score to get a VA or FHA loan which has become the new sub-prime loans. If you had a 720 score you were the borrower who could get the lowest rates and best mortgage deals. Now even that is not enough, many lender are looking for 740 scores or better.
So hopefully this answers your question. Feel free to visit my page on VA loans since I can see you must be a in the service now.

I like the idea of being able to insert questions and comments into videos that will be used with students, either large group or individual. It provides for formative quick checks to ensure students are on track and can generate discussions amongst groups or with the whole class. I also think that, giving students this option, they could create reactions by asking questions and direct their own learning through adding questions or comments to what they are viewing.

Set Design: Lydia Kasumi Shirreff is queen of paper sculpture
I spent a solid hour on Sunday afternoon trying to fashion a crane out of a piece of origami paper using nothing but my own fair hands and a YouTube tutorial. It was very difficult, and ultimately I failed, but at least with my newfound experience I can now assure you that the masterpieces Lydia Kasumi manages to conjure out of what must amount to reams of coloured paper is nothing short of miraculous.
From what looks to be every fruit under the sun, to almost illusionary giant iridescent letters, the illustrator and set designer has a mastery over her medium that demands an impressed "ooooooh!" in response. Where some paper sculpture falls prey to the snappy jaws of overly-cutesy-straight-out-of-a-lifestyle-magazine niceness, Lydia skirts that dangerous territory and instead falls headfirst into graphic art inspired coolness, where the line and the angle are king and shiny paper is a thing to be embraced.

"Nothing here feels cheap or hasty, which is why the horror, when it comes, is all the more chilling and grim. Slick, sharp and terrifying, "The Gift" is a truly brilliant thriller - and, one hopes, the first of many features from Edgerton to come. "
Pixels (2015)
"The point of "Pixels" - other than some genuinely thrilling SFX of matter evaporating into digitized blocks of confetti - is the dumb message that guys who peaked in middle school totally deserve hot girlfriends because of their awesome gaming skills "
The Jim Gaffigan Show: Season 1 (TV, 2015)
"Gaffigan exudes a relaxed, unpretentious air, no doubt helped by the dozens of TV shows and films on which he's appeared. But the dopey-guy persona he's crafted in his stand-up doesn't completely translate to a sitcom. "
Impastor: Season 1 (TV, 2015)
"The tone and presentation feels like something more likely to be found online as a web series, with the most obvious jokes you'd think of for the premise getting worked out of its system first. "
Lila & Eve (2015)
"In a just world, this deeply compassionate and politically relevant revenge fantasy would do for Viola Davis what last year's Alzheimer's odyssey did for Julianne Moore: deliver a long overdue Oscar to one of the finest actresses of her generation. "
Trainwreck (2015)
"Ultimately comes down in favor of mainstream girl-gets-boy in a way that Inside Amy Schumer might find a little dubious, but it never feels like Schumer is aggressively watering down her uniquely prickly brand of comedy for a mass audience. "
"Disturbing, honest and compelling, "The Stanford Prison Experiment" turns a well-known story into must-see storytelling, depicting the ugly truth through gorgeous filmmaking. "
Mr. Holmes (2015)
"After his recent string of what feels like too many comic-book blockbusters, social-media memes and chat-show appearances, it's nice to see McKellen in a role that actually demands - and rewards - his acting abilities. "
Jenny's Wedding (2015)
""Jenny's Wedding" isn't ill-intentioned or actively bad; it's just a little too familiar, a little too safe and a little too satisfied with itself. "
Tangerine (2015)
"A necessary portrait of a multiracial L.A. as a concrete-surfaced hard-knocks-a-thon... as well as a hilarious and high-spirited comedy with a dramatic, third-act curve ball that reminds us that there are aching hearts under the quips and weaves. "
The Spoils Before Dying: Season 1 (TV, 2014)
"Most characters are reduced to a single joke repeated endlessly, under the assumption that the repetition of words or phrases constitutes comedy. "
Ant-Man (2015)
"Serves up jokes that don't land and thrills that don't thrill. "
Boulevard (2015)
""Boulevard" consistently evokes the road not traveled, but doesn't particularly stand out alongside other dramas that have explored the same terrain. "
Paper Towns (2015)
"Even if the smarmily sanctified and beautifully doomed male lead of The Fault in Our Stars made you want to run screaming from the theater, you may find yourself on board with this movie's road trip. "
Self/less (2015)
"You're better off seeking out Seconds - or heck, All of Me - instead. "
Extant: Season 2 (TV, 2015)
"Berry rallies in the second half of the premiere, seeming to finally embrace the absurdity of the space-invader plot with a "if we're doing this, let's do this" determination. "
Zoo: Season 1 (TV, 2015)
"Wolk plays Jackson with such an easy air that the audience roots for him despite the thin characterization. "
Amy (2015)
"Like all theories, the doc's "truth vs. phoniness" narrative has a few blind spots. "
Scream: Season 1 (TV, 2015)
"Luxe environments mixed with bitchy teen entitlement and karmic vengeance drive Scream beyond its slasher-exploitation film genesis to a stylish metaphor about a new generation's excesses and mean-girl cruelty. "
Magic Mike XXL (2015)
"Too often this movie feels like an overlong finale episode of a long-running TV series, one that assumes that we're really invested in these characters and their desire to hang up their thongs after putting on one last great showcase. "
A Little Chaos (2015)
"It's difficult to conjure... excitement for a mess like "A Little Chaos," a lazy and off-puttingly anachronistic feminist fantasy about an 18th-century female landscape designer who finds love while creating... one of the grandest spaces in Versailles. "
Max (2015)
"Preposterous yet predictable... this dutifully educational children's story looks and feels like a Disney Channel movie. "
Batkid Begins (2015)
"The editing is ruthlessly efficient, and some of the talking-heads scenes are dramatized via lively comic-book renditions that lend visual panache. All the characters grab you, not just the kid. "
Ted 2 (2015)
"Bad taste needs to be more honest and more all-inclusive if it's to make a lasting impression, and MacFarlane's bad taste here is both too wishy-washy and too knee-jerk cruel to really make any impact. "
Terminator Genisys (2015)
"In 1984's "The Terminator," machines came back from the future to wipe out humanity; with "Terminator Genisys," a whole franchise comes back from the past to water down summer moviegoing. "
Escobar: Paradise Lost (2015)
""Escobar: Paradise Lost" plays more like Greek tragedy than the kind of drug-war tale we'd get in a broader, bigger film, and that is no small part of the many reasons it works. "
Minions (2015)
"Tests the notion that what audiences enjoyed as a side dish can satisfy as an entr�e; I don't know if the movie picks up as it goes along, or if it merely beat me into submission, but after 20 minutes or so, I did finally start laughing. "
Ballers: Season 1 (TV, 2015)
"Ballers is good bro-down TV in the same vein as Entourage. Dwayne Johnson does a solid job of leading the ensemble, and he's totally believable as a guy who's best buds with athletes. "
The Brink: Season 1 (TV, 2015)
"The dialogue is smart, biting and sporadically funny as it convincingly argues that its strange fiction is truth and turns the wartime stuff of our nightmares into the blackest of comedy. "
The Overnight (2015)
""The Overnight" is the movie equivalent of fuzzy handcuffs: a tame and unimaginative attempt at spicing up the overly familiar scenario of a married couple trying to get their groove back. "
Infinitely Polar Bear (2015)
"The usually reliable Ruffalo goes too big and sucks the oxygen out of the rest of the movie. "
Dope (2015)
"This vibrant film is a bit of a mess, but it's a beautiful one. "
Southpaw (2015)
"If you come to terms with the fact that Southpaw doesn't bring any ideas to the canvas that are any newer than Wallace Beery, this is an energetic enough fight picture to capture the imagination. "
Inside Out (2015)
"Has moments that are as emotionally gutting as anything I've seen in a Pixar film. At the same time, I was surprised at how fleeting the experience felt. "
"Appropriate to its teenage milieu, the film isn't unlike spending a couple of hours with an exceptionally witty high-schooler: It's entertaining as hell, but you can't help rolling your eyes a little at its self-satisfied pseudo-profundities. "
Live From New York! (2015)
"The equivalent of a late-night informercial for the box set of "Dean Martin Roast" DVDs. "
Jurassic World (2015)
"If Jurassic Park was a bright, clean, gleaming state-of-the-art attraction, this latest iteration feels shabby and unexciting, with a definite feeling that the carnies are dealing meth behind the haunted house. "
Love & Mercy (2015)
"[The film] breezily reference Brian Wilson's multiple lives through shorthand, achieving a sharply focused and admirably dense narrative that feels as crowd-pleasing and as creatively searching as their protagonist's own work. "
Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)
"Pretty much what you'd expect, from the shrieking musical riff under the main titles onward, but as a vehicle for veteran character actress Lin Shaye, it's a blast. "
Entourage (2015)
"Piven's Ari is so over-the-top in his narcissism and megalomania that he's fun to watch, but the other lead characters are the kind of bros who should be having drinks thrown in their faces on a regular basis. "
Testament Of Youth (2015)
"The World War I-set "Testament of Youth" makes a passionate and sensible case for [pacifism] through devastating, melancholy, persevering drama. "
Results (2015)
"This droll, intelligent farce is most poignant as a portrait of modern alienation that explores how money, service work and self-improvement leave individuals stranded and alone. "
Gemma Bovery (2015)
"Underscores the notion that what we're watching isn't merely the life of a complicated woman, but rather the actions and choices of that woman as seen through a man's eyes and a man's judgment. "
Amy (2015)
"Heartbreaking and wrenching, if not always satisfying. "

NZ journalist detained in Libya released
Relevant offers
Middle East
A New Zealand journalist who was arrested while filming refugees at a military base in Tripoli has been released.
Sharron Ward, from Gisborne, but based in London, was covering the recent Libyan elections as a freelance journalist for the BBC.
She told The Guardian she was detained yesterday by officials at Tripoli's Libyan naval academy, home to several thousand refugees from the former pro-Gaddafi town of Tawarga.
Ward said she had been filming the refugees with their permission when she was approached by military guards and asked for her accreditation.
"We filmed for three or four hours,'' Ward told The Guardian.
"I was filming the last shot and some security guy said what are you doing? They said we were supposed to get proper permission."
Ward was held for five hours and then taken to an intelligence facility at Ain Zara in southern Tripoli.
She said she was in good health and was not mistreated, though her equipment had been confiscated by Libyan officials and was told to report back tomorrow.
Ward had full press accreditation, but she said it was unclear whether it allowed her to film inside the military facility.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman said the New Zealand Embassy in Cairo was following up on reports.
"The embassy will provide consular assistance to the journalist if required," she said.

House Bill 179, introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on January 16, 2013, and not yet referred to a committee, is the latest antievolution bill in the Missouri state legislature.
"A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ... confirmed an earlier ruling that found Jet Propulsion Laboratory administrators did not discriminate against a longtime staffer when they laid him off in 2011," reports the La Cañada Valley Sun (January 17, 2013).
House Bill 13-1089 (PDF), introduced in the Colorado House of Representatives on January 16, 2013, and assigned to the House Committees on Education and Appropriations, would create "Academic Freedom Acts" for both K-12 public schools and institutes of higher education in the state of Colorado.
Two antiscience bills, Senate Bill 758 and House Bill 1674, have been prefiled in the Oklahoma legislature.
The Revisionaries — Scott Thurman's acclaimed documentary about the controversy over the Texas state board of education's efforts to undermine the scientific and historical integrity of the textbooks used in the state's public schools — is airing on PBS.

Samsung's new Wallet app has numerous similarities to Apple's PassbookSamsung on Wednesday introduced a new smartphone application called "Wallet," which bears a striking resemblance to Apple's own Passbook feature.
Left, Apple's Passbook icon. Right, Samsung Wallet. Via The Verge.
The new Wallet application for Android carries store cards, event tickets, boarding passes, and coupons. As noted by The Verge, the resemblance to Apple's Passbook is striking, even down to the icon Samsung chose to use.
Like Passbook, it will store all of a user's cards in one location. It will also offer time- and location-based push notifications to make it easy for users to access their cards.
And again like Passbook, the software will also automatically update with information such as membership points available, or the gate from which a flight will be departing.
Partners also include a number of companies that were among the first adopters of Apple's Passbook: Major League Baseball, Lufthansa, and Walgreens, to name a few. Samsung's Wallet application will not support NFC payment features something Apple's Passbook also lacks.
Samsung's announcement of Wallet, and its similarities to Apple's Passbook, are noteworthy because Apple for years has been accusing Samsung of copying its devices. The two companies are engaged in a number of patent infringement suits in which Apple has charged Samsung with copying the look and feel of the iPhone and the iPad.
Passbook debuted on the iPhone last year as part of the iOS 6 mobile operating system. It's become particularly popular in a trial run at Major League Baseball stadiums, prompting the league to announce this week that Passbook will be accepted at 13 MLB stadiums in the 2013 season.

Focus - SABMiller braces itself for the crunch
SABMiller may have seen beer volumes rise by 3% in the first six months of the year but the impact of rising commodity prices, the global economic downturn and the credit crunch have given the brewer a cautious, if not downbeat, outlook for the second half. However, Chris Mercer writes, the company believes its premium positioning will bolster it during the tough times ahead.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - On a night when two of the Giants' runs came in on wild pitches by Clayton Kershaw and three errors were committed by their middle infielders, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy could only look at his team's latest loss as something he'd like his players to put behind them as quickly as possible.

If you've never experienced a Red Sox game from the Green Monster seats at Fenway Park, you may want to tune in to ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" this week. Announcers Dan Shulman and John Kruk will be broadcasting the finale of the Red Sox-Yankees series from a makeshift broadcast booth high above left field.
It's part of a "Sunday Night Baseball" effort to offer a different perspective for viewers. In May, Shulman and Kruk broadcast a Cubs-Cardinals game from the Wrigley Field bleachers.
"It felt like a couple of buddies talking about baseball with their friends," Kruk told the Boston Globe. "It really did. I mean, we were definitely aware the fans were around us, because we had [TV] monitors and every time there was a close play, you could see and feel the fans peering over our shoulders there to get a look at the replay. That was the fun part. And they were asking us, 'What, was he safe, was he out, c'mon?' Oh my gosh.
"Wrigley was a great time, and we're looking forward to Fenway, for two reasons. One, it's a different vantage point and the game becomes more conversational. And two, we don't have to wear suits."

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:
Mary's father, lives with Mary, while their mother moved to another town after
divorce. Bob has many friends, and Mary, a shy pretty girl,
is often the target of their jokes. Bob was having more and more intense fantasies about Mary giving blowjob to him and his friend, so there came an evening when he invited his sexy daughter to have a couple of drinks: Mary performed so good she was all soaked in cum of her father and his amazed friend!
|Anthony Kowalski, a divorced teacher, loved his cute blonde daughter Amanda more than anyone in the world. Since her very childhood he enjoyed taking photos and filming her on camera. When she grew into a very beautiful teen girl, Anthony's shootings acquired a different taste. Sometimes he thought that it would have been great to film her naked, and one day he talked her into some naked posing, which led them to a totally hardcore incest scene:

"51 U.S. Diplomats Criticized U.S. Policy on Syria. Will Their Dissent Make a Difference?"
Op-Ed, The Washington Post, Monkey Cage Blog
By Amanda J. Rothschild, Research Fellow, International Security Program
"The large number of signatories on the dissenting memo is truly historic, but what's equally significant is that these diplomats have now joined a long line of government dissidents during cases of mass atrocity. These 51 names, as yet unknown, undoubtedly will someday rank alongside Henry Morgenthau Jr., Archer Blood and Marshall Harris, 20th century U.S. government officials who took a stand against U.S. policy in response to mass killings abroad."

The German Blitzkrieg Against the USSR, 1941
Seventy-five years ago, on June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, betting on a brief war with the firmest of goals, a type of war that came to be known as blitzkrieg.
Making sure that the German attack would catch the Soviets by surprise on a tactical, operational and even strategic level was one of the most important components of planning the blitzkrieg. To that end Berlin conducted an unprecedented disinformation campaign that proved largely successful.

Back on the road with Joe Pug
The folk-singer's latest Windfall
Dave Good 9:15 a.m., June 29
Dear Matthew:
Why do the so-called masses of men lead lives of quiet desperation? What led Thoreau to make such an observation?
-- D, Kensington
Pick one: (A) Because from his porch at Walden Pond, it seemed that everybody else pursued irrelevant goals, having lost the ability to live simply, day to day, in touch with nature -- though, in the end, Thoreau opted for quiet desperation too; or (B) no Viagra in Massachusetts in 1854. (Yeah, I know. You were counting on "Straight from the Hip" to be a refuge from Viagra jokes. Well, wise up. Nothing is beneath us. Nothing.)

This invention relates to electronic voltage regulation. A voltage regulator can be fold in virtually every piece of electronic equipment. A voltage regulator has an input terminal and a ground terminal for connection to a source of input voltage, and operates to maintain a constant regulated output voltage at an output terminal.
A voltage regulator can be designed either as a positive voltage regulator or a negative voltage regulator. For convenience, this invention will be described as it relates to a positive voltage regulator, although it will be clear to one skilled in the a how to apply the invention to a negative regulator by appropriate reversal of voltage polarities and use of complementary transistor types.
In a positive voltage regulator, the input voltage V IN must be larger than the desired output voltage V OUT, by an increment known as the "dropout voltage." If V IN is too low, the regulator will be unable to hold V OUT to the desired level. If V IN should then fall, V OUT must fall as well. A low dropout voltage is important, for example, in battery powered equipment where it is desirable to maintain V OUT at its designed level for as long as possible as the battery voltage falls. In today's low dropout voltage regulators, the dropout voltage can be as low as 500 millivolts.
Heretofore, the zener diode has been the primary component of a voltage regulating circuit. Zeners are supplied for a quoted voltage, which is always defined at a given resistance current Iz. At this current, it will be within the specified tolerance, but at other currents it will differ, the difference being a function of the zener slope resistance Rs. Over some range of Iz, Rs can be assumed to be fairly linear. As the current decreases, however, the characteristic approaches the "knee" of the curve and Rs increases sharply. There is very little point in operating a zener intentionally on the knee. The actual knee current depends on the type and voltage but is rarely less than a few hundred μA. In fact, zener diodes are typically rated for currents in milliamps--most are rated for currents of 3 mA to 250 mA. Consequently, zeners are not much use for micropower circuits.
In certain line powered telephone devices, in which the voltage is typically regulated to 3 volts, the current level may be as low as 10 to 25 μA, or even less. The commercially available zener diode closest to meeting this requirement is rated for 2.7 V at 50 μA. As will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art, it is extremely difficult and costly to design a voltage regulator circuit where the reference voltage is so close to the regulating voltage.
According to the present invention, a power supply for regulating energy delivered to a power consuming apparatus operating at low current levels includes a power source comprising at least one battery for generating an output voltage greater than a desired operating level. The power supply further includes a voltage regulator circuit comprising a light emitting diode (LED). The light emitting diode, which is preferably configured as a gallium arsenide diode, operates at a substantially constant voltage within a current range of between 10 to 25 μA (micro amperes). As a result, reliable and economical voltage regulating circuits can be constructed with substantially improved performance, as compared to circuits utilizing zener diodes as the active voltage regulating component, at the very low current levels required for such applications as line powered telecommunication devices.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of the disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages, and specific objects attained by its use, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated and described several embodiments of the invention.
The features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which;
FIG. 1 is a block diagram depicting a conventional telephone/speaker phone device employing a battery voltage regulator circuit operating at low current levels (e.g., between 10 to 25 μA);
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a battery voltage regulator circuit of the type conventionally utilized in the device of FIG. 1, the regulator circuit employing a zener diode as the active voltage regulating component;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a battery voltage regulator circuit employing a gallium arsenide LED in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a graphical plot depicting the voltage of the zener diode of FIG. 2 at current levels between 0 to 100 μA;
FIG. 5 is a graphical plot depicting the voltage of the LED of FIG. 3 at current levels between 0 to 100 μA; and
FIG. 6 is a graphical plot depicting the voltage of the LED of FIG. 3 at current levels of 10 μA and 25 μA, respectively.
Initially, it should be noted that although the use of a light emitting diode as an active component in a voltage regulating circuit in accordance with the present invention is described in detail in connection with the illustrative example of a telecommunications device, it is contemplated that the teachings of the present invention may be extended to many other applications and devices in which it is necessary to provide a regulated voltage at very low current levels (i.e., substantially below 50 μA).
In any event, and with initial reference to FIG. 1, there is shown an illustrative telecommunications device such, for example, as a conventional line powered telephone. In a known manner, telecommunications device 10 includes conventional speakerphone operating and control circuitry generally identified by reference numeral 12. To ensure that the proper voltage is supplied to terminals Vdd and Vbb of circuitry 12, device 10 further includes a regulator circuit 14, comprising individual regulator subcircuits R1, R2, and R3. When telecommunications device 10 is off-hook, regulator subcircuit R2 receives power directly from the telephone line (not shown) and produces an output voltage which is at the desired operating level Vdd. As will be readily ascertained by those skilled in the art, the output voltage is maintained at a substantially constant level, illustratively 3 volts, despite fluctuations in the line voltage
Should the output voltage fall to below a predetermined threshold, power is no longer supplied from regulator subcircuit R2 but is instead supplied from a secondary power supply 16 via regulator subcircuit R1. Typically, the secondary power supply comprises one or more batteries. As will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art, as such batteries are discharged, the voltage may fall from, for example, 6.5 to 3.5 volts. Thus, regulator subcircuit R2 is configured to decrease the reduction in the output voltage in response to decreases in the output voltage and to increase, if applicable, the reduction of the output voltage in response to increases in the output voltage.
In the illustrative speaker telephone application depicted in FIG. 1, it is necessary to supply a greater voltage level to the speaker phone circuitry. In a well known manner, fluctuations in line voltage are compensated for by utilizing the secondary power supply via regulator subcircuit R3.
With simultaneous reference now to FIGS. 2 and 3, there are shown, respectively, a conventional low current, regulated power supply constructed utilizing a zener diode Z3 as the active voltage regulating component and a low current, regulated power supply employing a gallium arsenide LED D1 as the active voltage regulating component in accordance with the present invention.
Graphical plots of voltage output across a 2.7 V rated zener diode Z3, as utilized in the conventional circuit of FIG. 2 and a commercially available gallium arsenide LED D1 supplied as Cat. No. LTL16KG by Philips, Inc., as utilized in the modified circuit of FIG. 3, are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 over an illustrative current range of 10 to 25 μA. With initial reference to FIG. 4, it will be readily ascertained that the zener diode exhibits a significant variation in voltage as the operating current increased from 10 to 100 μA. An overall change of 0.6 volts was recorded for between the upper and lower limits of this operating current range. As will be immediately apparent from FIG. 5, however, very little variation was exhibited by the gallium arsenide diode over the same operating current range. In fact, the overall change in voltage between 10 and 100 μA was only 0.15 volts. Thus, it can be seen that the gallium arsenide diode provides superior voltage regulation at low current applications.
FIG. 6 represents a comparison of five different gallium arsenide LED's supplied by four different manufacturers. The voltage across four devices of each model was measured tested at current levels of both 10 and 25 μA. As can be seen from FIG. 6, repeatability of the results was superior for each model, with the HLMP-3950 diode exhibiting excellent repeatability at both current levels tested. It can thus be seen that reliable voltage regulating circuits can be constructed with substantially improved performance, as compared to circuits utilizing zener diodes as the active voltage regulating component, at the very low current levels required for such applications as line powered telecommunication devices.
In addition to the superior performance obtained by gallium arsenide diodes as low current, voltage regulating components in accordance with the present invention, it should also be noted that a substantial reduction in cost is also achieved. The 2.7 volt, 50 μA zener evaluated herein is currently available at a cost of between 10 and 11 cents. In large part, this cost reflects the large number (approximately two-thirds) of zeners which are rejected after the individual testing that must be undertaken for each diode. The commercially available gallium arsenide LED's evaluated, on the other hand, are available for approximately 3 cents. In an industry where cutting costs by a penny is considered a significant cost reduction, the savings afforded by the utilization of gallium arsenide LED's as voltage regulating components in accordance with the present invention are quite substantial.
From the foregoing, it should be readily ascertained that the invention is not limited by the embodiments described above which are presented as examples only but may be modified in various ways within the intended scope of protection as defined by the appended patent claims.
