Homeless shelter in Bennington approvedDecember 06,2012Shelter approved in Bennington
BENNINGTON — A new homeless shelter on North Street proposed by the Bennington Coalition for the Homeless was approved by the Bennington Development Review Board on Tuesday.
The shelter, at 250 North St., would be an emergency shelter that could accept people who find themselves with no place to stay in unexpected circumstances. The coalition has other sites that can offer more long-term housing but executive director Kendy Skidmore said there was a need for a shelter that could take in people on short notice.
The presentation at the development review board took only a few minutes. The proposal had been presented to the board before on Nov. 20.
The coalition will be leasing the building so no exterior changes are planned. The building is currently unoccupied. It was previously the office of a home health care business.
The shelter is expected to have 12 beds available and an apartment that would be used by the shelter's staff.
Skidmore said in September she wants to open the shelter as soon as possible because during a cold Vermont winter, it could save lives.
The coalition served almost 200 people during its most recent fiscal year.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD VILLAGE An off-duty Hartford police officer playing with his own dog at a local dog...

Adobe unveils Creative Suite 4, 13 updated apps, more
Adobe on Monday unveiled Creative Suite 4, a major update to its collection of graphical editing tools that offers users enhanced performance, new and improved tools, as well as improved interoperability for apps in the suite. In addition, the release marks Photoshop CS4's entry into taking advantage of the GPU for drawing with tools and effects, as well as the application of filters and zooming.
T-Mobile G1 to carry Amazon media store?
T-Mobile's first Android phone could have the surprise of a built-in music and video service on launch, if a tip sent to VentureBeat proves accurate. An example of the G1 was reportedly seen in San Francisco carrying an Amazon music and video store client that would give it access to both services, pitting the device against the music-only iTunes Store on iPhones. It's unclear whether the G1 would have access to the store over the cellular network or if it would share Apple's limitation to Wi-Fi networks.
'I'm a PC' ad pictures made on a Mac
Several photographs posted on Microsoft's website from its 'I'm a PC' ads were made on Macs, according to Flickr member LuisDS. A look at the metadata from the "stereotyped PC user" photo revealed that its creation software was Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Macintosh. Ad agencies undoubtedly use a variety of products and operating systems for creating material, even if it happens to be from a competitor of their client. There is extra attention on Microsoft's ads, however, because they are clearly focused on defending its image against Apple's commercials.
Aleratec announces RoboJet robotic color disc printer
Aleratec has announced the RoboJet AutoPrinter 100, an automated color disc printer for CDs, DVDs or Blu-Ray discs.

Apple adds free education iPhone developer program
Apple recently unveiled the iPhone Developer University Program, a free service allowing higher education institutions that allows upwards of 200 students to collaborate on iPhone applications. The iPhone Developer University Program is full featured, offering students the ability to create and test applications, before adding them to the application store. Apple is making the program available today, with sign-ups hosted at its website.
First Look: FM Transmitter for iPhone/iPod
The iPod has made it easy to take your music wherever you go. While most people listen to their iPod through ear buds, there may be times when you want to broadcast your favorite songs so others can hear it as well. Since carrying extra speakers with your iPod is impractical, try a simpler solution and use the FM Transmitter from USBFever.
Unsanity updates WindowShade X, adds Leopard support
Unsanity has released WindowShade X 4.2, an update to the Mac OS X window-resizing tool, adding support for Mac OS X 10.5, dropping support for OS X 10.3, and bringing Firefox 3.x support. The update also adds MIP (Minimize-In-Place) recognition for Leopard's dock and screen bottom and eliminates subjugation problems with World of Warcraft. It fixes an Infinite recursion problem, nicknamed the SUIS problem, and removes Custom Shadow support, which was unmanageable in Mac OS X 10.5.
Toshiba announces 400GB external HDD
Toshiba Storage Device Division today announced its latest offering, a 400GB external drive. The drive connects via USB 2.0 and offers an 8MB buffer. The overall dimensions are 0.65 inch by 3.2 inches by 5 inches with a weight of 6oz. NTI Shadow software is preloaded, allowing automatic backup of documents and files.

Emporio Armani dresses up Samsung Night Effect
Samsung and Italian designer Giorgio Armani have once again collaborated on creating a fashionable handset, although this time the Samsung M7500 Emporio Armani Night Effect candy bar cellphone is branded under the Emporium Armani sub-brand. Apart from the Italian design house�s logo engraved on the side and rear of the handset, the Night Effect features a customized ringer sound. The name is derived from the phone�s heavy use of LED lights that make it stand out at nighttime.
DLO announces cases for Nano 4G, Touch 2G
DLO has announced new cases for the iPod nano 4G and Touch 2G. The new Action Jackets and Jam Jackets will ship for both the Nano and Touch, while a new HipCase folio has been crafted for the Nano. The original HipCase for the Touch 1G remains compatible with the 2G.
New camera module hints at future 9MP cellphones
Digital Imaging Systems has recently announced it will soon begin shipping its new, 9-mega pixel camera module to interested handset manufacturers. Called the DIS6931, the module is created with mobile devices in mind, and will be able to capture images at 3488x2616 resolution. Other specs that allow users to capture high-res images include a fast, under 300ms auto focus and less than 200ms of delay between when the shutter button is pressed to when the image is captured.
Toshiba shows iPhone-sized projector
At a recent product showcase held in Japan, Toshiba showed off a prototype projector about the size of Apple�s iPhone that is capable of throwing up images up to 50 inches in size at 480x320 resolution. The projector�s DLP Pico chip was sourced from Texas Instruments and the optical module uses red, green and blue LEDs for the light source. There is a price to pay for the diminutive size, as the brightness, at just 7 lumens, makes the projector usable only in very dark environments, while the built-in battery�s life is rated at less than an hour when fully charged.

BlackBerry Storm due late October for UK?
The BlackBerry Storm should arrive in the UK to challenge the iPhone roughly in sync with its American counterpart, according to sources speaking to Pocket-lint. Validating some of the oldest leaks about the Storm (then called the Thunder), the tip says Verizon's stakeholder Vodafone will be the sole carrier to offer the Storm in the UK. RIM's first touchscreen BlackBerry will also reportedly have a near-simultaneous introduction with the US model and receive an announcement at the start of October with an actual launch before the end of the month.

Buffalo intros two MediaStation 8x Blu-Ray drives
Buffalo Technology on Monday introduced two of the fastest Blu-ray drives for PCs on the market, with the MediaStation 8x External Blu-ray Drive and MediaStation 8x Internal Blu-ray writers and recorders. The external drive connects to PCs via a USB 2.0 port or eSATA interface, while the internal device has a SATA connection. No drivers are required to use the drives, both of which can read from and write to CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs, making them ideal for backing up user systems.
Apple sales staff steer clients to MacBooks
JMP Securities analyst Samuel Wilson is reporting that Apple sale representatives are steering customers from MacBook Pros to MacBooks. Barron's Tech Trader Daily is reporting that Wilson's survey of 30 stores (20 Apple stores and 10 Best Buys) found most of the sales force steering customers to the MacBook, away from the more expensive MacBook Pro, calling the Pro a designer's laptop. Wilson said, "We were repeatedly told that that Pro is designed for the design community, with a high-end video card and large screen, and that we would be better with a MacBook for the cost."
Oracle will ship three iPhone apps for business sales
Oracle has announced Oracle Business Approvals, Mobile Sales Assistant and Mobile Sales Forecast for the iPhone, coming in November. Oracle Business Approvals includes Oracle Business Approvals for Managers and Oracle Business Approvals for Sales Managers, each providing actionable intelligence for on the go decisions, including info on expenses, purchase requisitions, HR vacancies and job offers for managers and sales info such as pending sales quotes.
Fruux syncs contacts across many Macs, more coming
A new option for syncing data across several Macs has recently moved into public beta. Fruux currently synchronizes Address Book files across each computer a user owns, but the app's developers hope that the next release will add iCal support. By the time the software finishes its beta stages, support for syncing bookmarks as well as system preferences is anticipated.
Fujifilm to intro 3D image technology, new sensor
Fujifilm on Monday said it is developing 3D image technology that would include a digital camera with two lenses, spaced like the human eyes, as well as a new Real Photo Processor 3D chip to process and combine the still and video images captured by the twin lenses and sensors. The technology would produce three-dimensional images users can see with their naked eye, and not rely on 3D glasses like some other systems. At the same time, Fujifilm announced it is working on a new sensor, the Super CCD EXR. It promises to combine high-resolution, high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range.
Sync'Em nearing end of beta
New software for syncing Exchange, Google and Apple contact and calendar information has moved into its final beta stages. In its current state, Sync'Em can sync Exchange contacts with Apple's Address Book, or across several Exchange accounts. A recent update added support for Mac OS X 10.4, as well as unidirectional syncing and extended status reporting. The update also added an on-demand "check for new version" feature.
Sony VAIO TT to bring Blu-ray to ultraportables
Sony's upcoming VAIO TT should be one of the first ultraportable notebooks to sport Blu-ray as a feature, the company has unintentionally revealed in advance. The company's advisor system shows a top-range version of the 11.1-inch notebook with a built-in Blu-ray burner, making it one of the smallest notebooks to handle the 50GB disc format. Sony's slip also reveals dual 128GB solid-state drives in a fast RAID stripe as well as 4GB of memory and a new 1.4GHz ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo.
iLovePhotos releases public beta, Flash version
Blue Lava has announced that its iLovePhotos application has moved into a public beta. As photos are imported, iLovePhotos automatically detects individuals' faces. The user can then add tags to the faces, and in future imports, people will be recognized and properly tagged automatically. After the process is complete, individuals can choose to filter their library to only show photos of specific people. The software further uses the tags to pull information from Address Book, relying on this to set up automatic sharing feeds. Photos can thus be set to upload automatically, and trigger e-mail notices with links.
Samsung outs point-and-shoot with 10X zoom
Samsung preceded Photokina with the launch of a new camera that straddles the lines between regular compacts and ultrazoom models. Currently known under the working name of the HZ1, the camera is as small as many point-and-shoots but claims a 10X zoom factor. The Korean company also combines this with a 24-240mm wide-angle lens that should still suit it to close-ups, group portraits and other difficult shots.
Kodak adds two entry wireless AiO inkjets
Kodak on Monday announced it will soon ship the new ESP 9 and ESP 7 all-in-one printers, both of which, the company claims, offer significant savings in ink replacement costs compared to competitors. The ESP 9 will let users print, scan, photocopy and fax documents via its 10-inch touch control panel that includes a 3-inch LCD for previewing documents. Either sports a Wi-Fi connection to allow wireless-free printing from any networked computer, as well as an Ethernet port for a wired network connection.
Wolfire announces Lugaru sequel, Overgrowth
Wolfire Games has announced Overgrowth, a 3D action-adventure game serving as a sequel to an earlier title, Lugaru. Overgrowth is set in a world of anthropomorphic rabbits and wolves, which battle each other with medieval weapons. The game will feature a new graphics engine, with new animation and rendering technologies. The company has few other details to offer, except that pre-orders will begin soon.

GL Golf 2.17 adds new courses, conditions
Nuclear Nova has released GL Golf 2.17, an update to its golfing game for the Mac, adding numerous replica and original golf courses, with new course conditions and real-time shadows. Also added in the update are round and hole-in-one tracking, a recent best-scores list, dynamic water, and numerous fixes.
Leica prepping professional-level DSLR
Leica is preparing an unexpected new camera, writes Professional Photographer. Better known for its rangefinder cameras like the M8, Leica is said to be working on a new DSLR, the S2. The camera is being targeted exclusively at the professional market, and should have a 37-megapixel full-frame sensor, 56 percent bigger than that of its competitors. This may theoretically put the S2 in competition with medium format cameras like the H3D-II, rather than DSLRs like the Sony A900.
Sony, Toshiba to build 45nm Cell chip in 2009
Sony and Toshiba today said they would start producing 45 nanometer versions of the Cell processor next year. The process is 50 percent more complex than the 65 nanometer process used for most current Cell chips and will allow the PlayStation 3 to use both a much smaller and cooler-running processor but also to cost less. Versus the current manufacturing process, the two companies' new technique can produce about 50 percent more chips at a time, reducing the cost for each processor.
Trism developer claims $250,000 in income
Trism -- a puzzle game available on iTunes' App Store -- has proven to extremely profitable, its developer claims. Steve Demeter says that in just over two months of sales he has already accumulated $250,000 in profits, based on a price of $4.99 per download. The figure is notable in that it is on top of just $5,000 in development costs, and already accounts for Apple's 30 percent revenue take.
AT&T intros land phone with visual voicemail
AT&T on Monday announced the introduction of the AT&T HomeManager home phone service that includes many features users have to expect from their cellphones. This includes Internet access that brings quick weather reports, e-mail access and local news, as well as access to visual voicemail to users; a color 7-inch touchscreen frame from Samsung lets users pick and listen to calls out of order as with the iPhone. The frame acts as a cordless phone as well thanks to its built-in speaker.
iRex makes 3G-ready e-book reader official
iRex on Monday kicked off the debut of its promised e-book reader updates with the launch of its new Digital Reader 1000 series devices. With a 10.2-inch e-ink display, the readers are built to read very large documents and can handle letter-sized documents without resizing or having to scroll the text. A top-end version is also the first to bundle both 3G and Wi-Fi into one reader and can download or share books without having to be close to a hotspot.
Palm's Nova OS now set for first-half 2009
Palm might not have a finished device based on its new operating system until several months into 2009, according to statements made during the company's results conference call last week. Although the company still says it's on track to finish its next-generation "Nova" mobile operating system by the end of 2008, the company now gives a larger release window that has extended from the previous early 2009 to the first half of that year, hinting at a release as late as June.
Apple EPS to beat predictions in September: Piper
Apple is likely to surpass earnings-per-share expectations for its September quarter, say analysts from Piper Jaffray. The research group says that it is raising its both its EPS and revenue predictions, from $1.04 and $7.9 billion to $1.17 and $8.37 billion. The Street, by contrast, is said to have adopted a middle view, of $1.11 EPS on $8.07 billion. The new Piper estimate is based on deeper analysis of NPD data.
Verizon heats fight with contract-free plans
Verizon today set itself up to better compete against AT&T by announcing the option of month-to-month cellphone service. The carrier is one of the last to adopt the recently leaked policy but now lets customer buy phones and start service without the requirement of signing up for at least one year or else facing an early cancellation fee. This will also let customers bring over unlocked CDMA and EVDO devices rather than having to buy one of Verizon's own products when switching providers.
Comcast to replace throttling with priority filter
Comcast this morning obeyed FCC mandates today by publishing info regarding its replacement for its controversial BitTorrent throttling system. The cable Internet provider now says it will use a Quality of Service (QoS) system that adjusts the priority of data packets for the most frequent users: if a network is congested, a new filter will automatically lower the priority of their data packets until the congestion passes.
Limited form of in-home iPhone activation to return?
In the near future, potential iPhone buyers may once again be able to handle some of the activation process at home, according to an anonymous Apple Store worker. The new process would not be a resumption of the one for the first-generation phone, which let users sign up for a new carrier subscription from within iTunes; due to people bypassing this en-masse for the sake of unlocking, Apple has settled on requiring iPhone 3Gs to be activated before leaving a shop. This resulted in massive wait times and activation delays during the initial launch weekend.
Olympus preps Micro Four Thirds, full DSLRs
Olympus preceded the Photokina expo today with two prototypes of its future camera technology. The first, unnamed device is the company's first example of a Micro Four Thirds model and uses the smaller, mirrorless design to replicate the look and short, swappable lenses of a vintage rangefinder camera but with the large sensor of a digital SLR. The new design would drop any separate viewfinder altogether in favor of the preview LCD and would have simple navigation and mode dial controls.
Analyst: Power adapter recall should not hurt Apple
Apple's ultra-compact power adapter recall should not substantially affect either the company or the iPhone 3G, says Shaw Wu of American Technology Research. The analyst comments that while the threat of electric shock is a "negative" with the potential for "headline risk," the number of people likely to be affected by the faulty adapters is believed to be minimal. Apple is also said to be doing the "right thing" by offering a free exchange and keeping its customer service standards up.
Intel readying very low-power Celeron M?
Intel is developing a Celeron M processor with the performance of a regular notebook processor but the extremely low energy use of an Atom, a leak from CHW suggests. The 1.2GHz Celeron M 722 would be one of Intel's first budget notebook processors to be built on a 45 nanometer manufacturing process and would consume just 5.5W of typical power, putting its performance closer to that of the 4W but simpler and slower 1.6GHz Atom N270.
Pentax brings K-m entry DSLR to US as K2000
Pentax this morning quickly followed up its European launch of the K-m with an American equivalent, the K2000. The camera is Pentax's attempt at competing against beginner-friendly DSLRs like Nikon's D40/D60 and, as with the European K-m, is much more compact than most such cameras. The help button is now said to be programmed by the user to pop up certain relevant information in addition to context-sensitive help. All settings info shows on the rear LCD rather than on the secondary top displays from larger but more complex DSLRs.
Labels, SanDisk try hard media with slotMusic
The major music labels and SanDisk today tried to revive physical music with slotMusic. The concept is aimed at music phone users who want quick access to music as though it were a CD, but also to users who prefer to have a physical backup of digital music: each 1GB microSD card comes with an album's worth of music in 320Kbps MP3 files, enabling the music to be played right away or transferred to any computer through a bundled USB adapter. The extra space allows special features such as videos and can be used as storage space of its own.

French show carries on with iPhones
Following a prolonged power loss in a French TV studio, the crew was able to use a combination of limited studio lighting and a number of iPhones to continue taping the Saturday episode of talk show On n'est pas couché ("We're Still Awake"), using the resulting footage in the first edited episode. The Plus-model iPhones used for the impromptu shoot completion were either iPhone 6 Plusses (which shoot in 1080p) or 6s Plus models (which can shoot in 4K). The decision to use the iPhones to complete the show was made after a power outage at France 2's studio stretched to more than three hours. http://bit.ly/299wqDt
Scrivener for iOS to arrive in late July
For some long-time Scrivener users, to quote Paul Simon, "these are the days of miracle and wonders." As it marks its 10th anniversary in business, developer Keith Blount has announced that the long-awaited iOS version of his creative-writing tool Scrivener is to be submitted to the App Store, following strong praise from beta-testers. The program, expected in late July, will sell for $20 and work with both the iPad and iPhone. When we interviewed Blount last January, he added that Scrivener 3 for Mac would follow along shorty afterwards. http://bit.ly/2901XLE
WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l

Dire predictions have come true
I have to admit it. My Democratic friends were right. They told me if I voted for John McCain the nation's hope would deteriorate. And, sure enough, there has been a 30-point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration.
They told me if I voted for McCain the country would become more embroiled in the Middle East. And, sure enough, tens of thousands of additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan.
They told me if I voted for McCain the economy would get worse. And, sure enough, unemployment is approaching 10.2 percent, and the new stimulus packages implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any time since 9/11.
They told me if I voted for McCain the deficit would increase to the highest level this country has ever seen. They were right. The projected deficit is $9.3 trillion dollars and growing.
They told me if I voted for McCain we would see more crooks in high-ranking positions in federal government. And, sure enough, several recent Cabinet nominees and other appointments revealed resumes of bribery and tax fraud.
Well, I ignored my Democratic friends in November and voted for McCain. And they were right. All of their predictions have come true.

Opinion: Paper Mario's #Shufflegate, how outrage attacked history
Jun 24, 2016 | 23 Comments
Just when you thought you've had your fix of Battlefield 3 news for the day, out come two new screens taken from the single-player campaign, more specifically from the Operation Guillotine mission.
As you can see, this is a night time mission and although the images don't do it justice, the trailer revealed some intense night time action. Either way, it's hard to ignore how stunning the night time visuals are for Battlefield 3.
As the battle wages between the PLR and US forces on the outskirts of Tehran, Sgt. Blackburn's unit (Misfit 1-3) is 1st Recon and part of the assault on the northern quarter of the city, hidden in a park. Their goal: to link up with another Marine unit (Haymaker) and secure the quarter.

LJWorld.com weblogs Overplayed's poll:
What makes the cut?
Forgive me if I missed this, I did not see the printed paper if it was there. Did I miss the Journal World report on New York State senate passage of gay marriage? Not a court ruling, the State Senate. I am sure it will show up on the blogs or editorial in the following days, but this happened on Friday. Was the event so well covered everywhere else in the national press that it did not make the Brownback culture blitzkrieg real time news cut here?
I realize that there are a lot of national stories to sift through for a local paper with such a busy state Governor. The passage of this legislation not only seems like a big deal, but also relevant to the constant culture war themed news reporting that exist here.
There seems to be no stop in flow of local news through the weekend, so I am asking seriously what are the qualifications to make the national cut?

Congress, administration argue over Israeli visas
Washington: Legislation that would let Israelis visit the United States without visas but not demand full reciprocal treatment for all Americans wishing to travel to the Jewish state could put Congress and the Obama administration on a collision course in coming weeks.
Israel`s entry into the 37-nation US Visa Waiver Program is the most controversial element in a pair of broader US Israel bills dealing with everything from improving cybersecurity to enhancing economic cooperation. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is hoping to get the House Foreign Affairs Committee`s approval before Congress` August recess.
A version by Sen. Barbara Boxer is picking up support in the Senate. Both would create a new category of US Ally — "major strategic partner" designating Israel as the only such nation.
And they would call for the inclusion of Israel on a list of countries whose citizens can visit the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, granted they register electronically before boarding a flight.
The administration and some lawmakers are concerned the legislation doesn`t do enough to eliminate Israeli discrimination against Palestinians and Arab-Americans seeking to enter its borders. They also say Israel still fails to meet other legal requirements for the program.
The Senate bill, for example, would demand only that the Israeli government make "every reasonable effort, without jeopardising the security of the state of Israel, to ensure that reciprocal travel privileges are extended to all United States citizens."
And it would grant Israel an exemption from a waiver program entry requirement that it first reach a 97 percent approval rate for its applicants seeking US visas.
The House`s bill has clear bipartisan backing, with more than 300 co-sponsors. The Senate effort now has 45 co-sponsors, bringing it close to a majority. It is likely to be considered by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in September.
Some critics are sensitive about expressing their reservations in public, wishing to avoid getting in a public argument with a close ally, with the bills` supporters or with the powerful pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, which is pushing for the legislation`s passage.
Boxer told The Associated Press the law would benefit US citizens by specifically requiring the secretaries of state and homeland security to certify that Israel is doing all it can to facilitate travel for Americans before it can enter the visa waiver program.

The invention relates to gas detectors.
Gas detectors are already known including transducers which respond to the presence of one or more selected gases to change their electrical characteristics to enable, by electrically monitoring such characteristics, the detection of the presence and concentration of the selected gas in an environment. It is usual to provide an instrument having a transducer, an electrical monitoring circuit and a local electrical supply as well as a display for the instrument so that the presence and/or concentration of the selected gas or gases can be readily determined in a chosen environment. Such instruments especially when accuracy is required and low concentrations, a few part per million, are to be measured tend to be expensive and non-robust.
The present invention is concerned with providing gas detectors which are comparatively cheap and are for use in detecting low concentrations of gas particularly carbon monoxide and methane. The gas detectors of the present invention have particular although not exclusive application in detecting the presence of fires or potentially hazardous conditions in underground mine workings.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a gas detector which comprises a housing, a gas cell transducer mounted in the housing and responsive to change its electrical characteristics with changes of concentration of selected gas in the housing, an electrical monitoring circuit supported in the housing and coupled to the cell which is arranged to receive an electrical supply from a remote control station and to supply monitoring signal to the control station indicative of the concentration of the gas.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a selected gas concentration monitoring system for monitoring the presence of the gas in an environment such as the underground working of a mine, including a plurality of gas detectors, each detector comprising a gas cell transducer mounted in a housing and responsive to change its electrical characteristics with changes in concentration of the gas in the housing and an electrical monitoring circuit supported in the housing, and a control station electrically connected to each detector for providing an electrical supply thereto and for receiving monitoring signals from each detector indicative of concentrations of the gas in the respective housings.
The gas cell transducers may be arranged to respond to a single selected gas, such as carbon monoxide or methane, or may be responsive to two or more gases and mixtures thereof.
The housings of each detector may comprise an enclosure surrounding the cells having ports in the walls thereof to allow gas to enter through the ports. Preferably, such housings are so arranged that gas entering the ports is swirled slowly around the inside thereof even when the housing is in a position where an air flow is moving rapidly past the outside of the housing.
The cell transducer is preferably arranged to be easily replaceable and provided for example with a plug-in mounting. This means where the operational life of the cell transducer is short, say only several months, the cell transducer can be readily exchanged as required.
A carbon monoxide gas detector according to the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 are sectioned elevations of two similar detectors; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of the power supply circuit utilized with the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of the detector circuit used with the invention.
Referring to the drawing, in FIG. 1 the gas detector 9 has a housing 10 which comprises an inner enclosure 12 and an outer enclosure 14, each enclosure having six porting slots which are non-aligned with one another. This means that when air is flowing relatively rapidly past the housing 10 some of the air enters progressively into the inside of the enclosure 12 via the slots and swirls slowly there around. A gas cell transducer 16 is mounted in the enclosure 12 and responds to the presence and the concentration of carbon monoxide to change its electrical characteristics. An electronic circuit 18 is mounted and encapsulated in a chamber 20 above the transducer 16 and is electrically coupled to the transducer 16. Three wires 22, 24 and 26 are connected to the circuit 18 and to a terminal block 27.
The housing 10 has a lid 28 provided with a support eye 30 so that the detector 9 can be readily suspended at a chosen location.
In use, the detector 9 is positioned in a chosen location in underground workings and is associated with a number of like detectors at various suitable positions in a district of underground workings. All the detectors are electrically supplied from a central control station to which monitoring signals are supplied from the detectors indicative of the concentration of carbon monoxide in the region of respective detectors.
In FIG. 2, the detector is the same as the detector of FIG. 1 except that a small fan 32 is fitted inside the lid 28. The fan 32 is supplied from the station via the wire 26. The fan 32 draws air into the chamber 12 via the slots in the walls of the enclosures 12 and 14. The provision of the fan 32 enables the detector 9 to respond efficiently and rapidly to changes of carbon monoxide concentration even where the detector is mounted in a region where there is little or no air flow. Normally in mine workings, conventional forced air ventilation provides adequate circulation past the detector when it is located in or near a main airway. However, it is possible that the detector 9 is positioned in a region of relatively poor air circulation or the air ventilation may be turned off for maintenance or be inoperative due to a fault. In such cases, the fan 32 ensures that there is adequate movement of air so that air enters into the enclosure 12 to enable the transducer 16 to respond to and provide detection of carbon monoxide.
In FIG. 3, the circuit includes a supply circuit which receives a -15 volt direct current supply from a central control station between lines 22 and 26. A stabilising network 40 reduces the voltage to -12 volts and supplies a divider circuit, including an amplifier 42, to provide a common zero, together with a +6 volts and a -6 volts output for the remainder of the circuit.
As seen in FIG. 4, gas cell transducer 16 is connected to a matching amplifier 44, with a resistor 46 in its feedback circuit, the output of which is connected via an amplifier 48 to a further amplifier 50 incorporating temperature correction feedback. Further amplifiers 52, 54 and 56 are connected in series to a current driver 58, the output of which is connected to the wire 24.
The inputs of the amplifiers 52 and 54 are adjustable to alter the zero setting of the circuit and the range span respectively. The input of the amplifier 56 is also adjustable to provide an off-set of the overall output of the circuit.
In the described circuit, an output for supply along the wire 24 is chosen, indicative of carbon monoxide concentration, so that when the concentration of carbon monoxide is zero, the output of the current driver 58 is one milliamp. This corresponds to a zero output at the amplifier 54 so that the off-set input of the amplifier 56 must be 1 volt.
The zero setting for the circuit is adjusted by altering an input to the amplifier 52. This adjustable input is required to balance the small current which flows through the transducer 16 when no carbon monoxide is present.
The span of detection selected is controlled or adjusted by an input to the amplifier 54 and is chosen to be zero to 100 parts per million of carbon monoxide; this span can also be adjusted if required by altering the resistance value of the resistor 46. After initial setting up of the circuit, the detector is then tested by subjecting the transducer 16 to a known concentration of carbon monoxide and the span adjusted to suit the chosen range.
Normally each of the adjustments mentioned can be carried out by the provision of suitable variable resistors which can be accessed, using a screwdriver for example, without damaging or interfering with the encapsulation of the circuit in the chamber 20.
In use, the transducer 16 which per se forms no part of the invention, responds to the presence of the carbon monoxide to change its electrical characteristics so that the inputs to the amplifier 48 become unbalanced and the output current of the current driver 58 reduces appropriately. For monitoring mine workings, the range chosen as explained is 100 parts per million so that if the concentration rises to this level the output current of the current driver 58 reduces from 1 milliamp to zero.
It will be appreciated that other circuit arrangements can be provided and also other settings used in the circuit. The use of a reducing current output as gas concentration increases is however preferred because, as would be evident to those having skill in the art, this introduces a fail-safe feature since, for example, loss of supply current to the unit would also result in the indicating device reading otherwise than full-scale deflection, which would indicate a fault. Also, where recording is made, especially by chart recorders, full-scale or maximum deflection at zero gas concentration is advantageous.
The transducer 16 is plugged into position in the housing 10. This enables the transducer 16 to be changed easily. Suitable transducers presently available have a working life of 6 to 18 months in mining environments and must therefore be replaced normally every 6 to 12 months. As will be appreciated, the described circuit enables each replaced transducer to be calibrated and the circuit adjusted when a replacement transducer is first plugged into the housing 10 and also at other times if required.
The fan 32 when fitted is connected to the wire 26 as shown dotted in FIG. 3.
As mentioned earlier the detectors are suitably positioned in chosen different locations throughout a district of underground workings; the central control station is normally and conveniently situated at the surface of the mine. At the control station it is preferable to have a number of chart recorders respectively coupled to each of the detectors to monitor the changes of concentration of carbon monoxide. The chart recorder can each be associated with an alarm circuit and arranged to provide an audible and/or visable alarm whenever the concentration rises to a predetermined level. The alarm circuit, or an additional circuit incorporated with the described electrical circuit in the encapsulation in the chamber 20 in each detector, can be provided to produce such an alarm signal. Further, the detectors or the alarm circuit at the surface may be provided with an additional circuit arrangment which responds to rates of chanqe of carbon monoxide concentration and produces a further alarm signal whenever this rate exceeds a predetermined rate.
A telemetry system can be used to communicate the magnitude of the output current of the current driver 58 to the central control station. In such a case the telemetering link is used to power the electrical circuits of the detectors as well as telemetering circuitry provided in each detector.
The monitoring of carbon monoxide is especially advantageous for detecting the on-set of an underground fire or even the presence or occurrence of fire hazardous conditions as they develop particularly in a coal mine. Although the presence of other gases, for example carbon dioxide may also be used. However occasional overall comparatively high background concentration of carbon dioxide in a mine even when there is no fire or fire hazard, means that changes indicative of a fire are not so easily distinguishable from normal safe conditions. By monitoring the presence of carbon monoxide, methane, or mixture thereof, the on-set and increase of small concentrations of such gases provides a generally much more reliable and more easily distinguishable condition on which to detect rapidly the outbreak of a fire or other hazardous conditions.
As each described detector in a system for monitoring the concentration of gas in an underground district does not require a local power source and has remote indicators, chart recorders for example, each detector can be made relatively cheaply. Further, the remote station not only readily provides an early indication of a fire but the central monitoring of the concentration of gas has the added advantage that faulty or inoperative detectors can be identified. This can be done either by observing uncharacteristic changes in their output monitoring signals or by comparing those signals with the signals supplied from detectors positioned nearby in the same district.
The system may also be used to monitor the presence or the on-set of dangerous gas concentrations either in mine or even in long roadway tunnels which need not be associated with fires or fire hazards but may be related to health hazardous conditions.
Preferably, the central monitoring station is of the type already used with ionisation type smoke detectors. Further, same housings for the detectors that are used and currently available for such smoke detectors can be advantageously used. This enables the gas detectors to be produced in bulk quantities using the same machinery as for producing the housings of the smoke detectors. Additionally, the gas detectors can be incorporated if desired into a system which monitors a number of smoke detectors and a number of carbon monoxide detectors, distributed in the same district, at the same time as may be desired.

Waikato road toll appals police
Another weekend of crashes for the WaikatoLIBBY WILSON
Relevant offers
A young Matamata man who died in a fatal car crash at the weekend will be remembered by his family as fun, loving and someone who enjoyed life.
Jeremy Mark Kidner, 23, died after the Toyota Hilux he was driving crashed into a truck just before 1am on Saturday, on State Highway 24, near Matamata.
Police said initial indications suggested Mr Kidner failed to negotiate a corner and crossed the centreline into the path of an eastbound Kenworth truck and trailer unit.
His mother and sisters told the Waikato Times Mr Kidner was fun, loving and enjoyed life.
He was cheeky and quick-witted but also stubborn and persistent.
"He was well thought of by a huge amount of people and an inspiration to all around him," they said.
"He loved everybody and rarely had bad moments with anyone. He loved meeting new people and expanding his friend circle."
He had only been back in New Zealand for two weeks after a stint working in Australia but he had already got himself into work mowing lawns and with a roading contractor.
Past jobs had included being a diesel mechanic, farming work, and picking and distributing salad in Australia.
But he also kept busy with a variety of pastimes including cars, several different sports, and youth group, and "put his all" into everything he did, they said.
He had also been a volunteer firefighter before he went over to Australia and had intended to join up again.
Mr Kidner's death has prompted Waikato police to call for a change in road culture.
A pedestrian struck by a car in Karapiro 11 days ago, also died yesterday, bringing Waikato's road toll this year to 12.
Waikato road policing manager Inspector Freda Grace said several other people are recovering from serious injuries after 36 crashes in the area between Friday and Monday morning.
Mrs Grace said police would investigate what, if any part, speed and alcohol played in the crash which claimed the life of Mr Kidner.
Police were also considering the details surrounding the pedestrian who died from his injuries when he was struck by a car as he crossed State Highway 1 at Karapiro 10 days ago.
"Auckland man 88-year-old Roy James Grant had been under treatment at Waikato Hospital since the incident but died early [Monday] morning. The Serious Crash Unit investigation into what, if any, charges may be laid is still continuing."
Mrs Grace said in another incident, a 79-year-old man was critically injured when struck by a reversing car on Shakespeare St in Leamington early on Friday evening.
Two people on a motorcycle were also treated in hospital after a separate crash with a car on Hoeka Rd, Newstead on Friday.
"Then shortly after 9am on Sunday emergency services were called to the scene of a crash on SH1 north of Huntly where a motorcycle carrying two people crashed into a roadside barrier near the Rangiriri tavern.
"A 52-year-old Huntly man and his female pillion passenger were flown by air ambulance helicopter in a serious condition to Waikato Hospital where their condition is described as stable.
"At this point police are working to establish what part an item of material found wrapped around the motorcycle's rear wheel may have played in the crash."
Mrs Grace said there were no witnesses to the crash at the scene and police are appealing for anyone who saw what happened to contact the Huntly police on (07) 858 6200.
"While the investigations into what happened in each of the crashes continue, we as a community need to focus on preventing more trauma happening on our roads.
"Late February through to early April are traditionally busy periods for emergency services dealing with motorcycle and commercial vehicle crashes and it appears this year is no different. And now we have had our second pedestrian fatality and have another person seriously injured."
Mrs Grace said the only way to turn the tide was to introduce a change in culture.
"We need to drive socially, give each other plenty of room on the road and ensure other road users are able to see you, regardless of if you are a pedestrian, cyclist, motorcycle rider or driver. The stakes for those left behind are just too great if you don't."

Golden Gate's Downside — Jumpers Hit Scary Numbers
Our glorious Golden Gate is a wonderful source for those picturesque aww-inducing moments, not to mention our gateway to wine country. But sadly, it also comes with a staggering mortality rate. In 2013, the bridge hit its absolute highest number of suicides, coming in at sobering 46 fatalities in one year. This, on top of another 118 attempts.
This heartbreaking trend of tragedies has reached its highest peak since 2000, and only stresses the importance of prevention. One idea is that of a safety net to catch, or deter, attempting jumpers. If such a precaution was implemeted, the project would come with the hefty cost of $66 million, which has left the city fumbling for the cash to start such an extensive undertaking. Until then, authorities maintain enforcement by patrolling the area. We dearly hope these numbers will take a turn for the better. (The Independent)

ASUS selects MediaTek's SoC for new ASUS RT-N14U N300 wireless router
Nov 16, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- ASUS, a computer hardware and electronics company, has selected MediaTek Inc.'s MT7620 Wi-Fi System-on-a-Chip, or SoC, for the new ASUS RT-N14U N300 wireless router.
The MT7620 is the latest addition to MediaTek's family of integrated, single-chip Wi-Fi SoC products, currently being deployed by wireless router and repeater makers. It incorporates advanced signaling technologies, giving device manufacturers tools to develop energy-saving wireless routers, with particular benefit when connected to battery-powered devices such as smartphones, notebooks, and tablets, MediaTek said.
"Today's wireless routers must work with devices like smartphones and tablets with highly efficient operation for extended battery life and a better user experience," said Tenlong Deng, Associate vice president of the Wireless Device Business Unit at ASUS. "We are happy to expand our partnership with MediaTek in supplying a sector-leading wireless router to the growing and dynamic connected consumer electronics market." "By partnering with ASUS, a performance leader in wireless router products, we continue to expand our wireless connectivity reach and bring innovation to the consumer market," said SR Tsai, General Manager of the Wireless Connectivity and Networking Business Unit at MediaTek. "Wi-Fi is being embedded in an increasingly diverse array of mobile and consumer electronics devices, so performance, power consumption, reliability, and ease of integration become even more critical for our customers. MediaTek's continued focus on technology innovation enables our customers with unique competitive advantages." According to MediaTek, the MT7620 leverages the strengths of MediaTek's hardware network address translation (HNAT) acceleration engine that is currently embedded in ASUS wireless routers such as the RT-N56U and RT-N65U, delivering 2Gbps IPv6 routing capabilities for advanced cloud applications. It also comes with a USB 2.0 interface for 3G/4G broadband connectivity, wireless storage, web cameras, wireless speakers, and connectivity with entertainment devices such as media players, game consoles, and smart TVs. The MT7620 is also available in a wireless repeater design, and has been selected by ASUS to power its RP-N53 N600 Wireless range extender.

Live webcast tonight: Psychology techniques + live answers to your questions
21 Comments- Get free updates of new posts here
The webcast is over
Tonight (Thursday, 11/5), I'm doing a live webcast to show you 5 psychological techniques to change your financial behavior. You're learn how to trick yourself to save and earn more using powerful techniques I haven't mentioned anywhere else.
After showing you the new psychological models, I'll do a Lightning Talk to answer YOUR questions. I'll also answer questions about the Boot Camp.
I want to pack this full of information in 30 minutes, so here's what I'm covering…
7:00pm – 7:10pm: 5 Psychological Techniques to Trick Yourself:
Forced Constraints, Accountability Partners (used the RIGHT way), Subscription Snafus, Better Than Cash, and Mental Accounting. These have saved me thousands of dollars since I started my blog in 2004
7:10pm – 7:20pm: LIGHTNING Round:
10 minutes of questions — ask me ANYTHING — and I'll spend a maximum of 30 seconds per question. It's going to get nutty
7:20 – 7:30pm Boot Camp questions:
I'll share the Country Club Effect, details of the Boot Camp, tell you more about the guest speakers, and share some of the surprising things that have already happened inside
How to attend:
Go to http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog and click refresh at 7pm Pacific TONIGHT (Thursday). A video feed will appear with me creepily staring at you and likely screaming at you. Greetings!
Q: Will this be recorded?
A: No
Q: Please, can you record it? I have to be in Guatemala building houses for poor quadriplegic children
A: No
Q: What if something is wrong and nothing is showing up at iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog at 7pm tonight?
A: (1) 7pm PACIFIC, and (2) if something goes wrong, check twitter.com/ramit for updates
One last thing — if you plan to make it, leave your name and a question so I can keep an eye out for you.
See you tonight.
