This invention relates, in general, to reverse polarity protection circuits, and more particularly, to a reverse battery protection circuit useful in metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) circuits.
Reverse battery protection is desirable in battery operated circuits where temporary connection can be made to the circuit in a reverse polarity manner. This is particularly true in a CMOS integrated circuit since with reverse polarity applied the CMOS integrated circuit will look like a large forward biased diode due to VSS being hardwired to P+ tubs and VDD being connected to the N substrate. Even if the transistors of the CMOS circuit are not damaged with reverse power applied to the circuit, it is possible for the bond wires to be damaged if the current flowing through the bond wires becomes greater than the bond wire fuze limit. Current limiting resistors are not satisfactory in some circuits where a high current drive is required. One such application is in battery operated smoke detectors wherein a buzzer or an alarm is sounded. The alarm is driven by an output driver and generally requires the full amount of current that the battery can supply. Although it is not possible to permanently connect a 9 volt battery in a reverse polarity configuration to a smoke detector, it is possible to momentarily make contact between the battery and the smoke detector leads in a reverse polarity configuration. The momentary contact is sufficient to damage the integrated circuit chip.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an integrated circuit chip which has reverse battery protection without limiting the current requirement for certain portions of the circuit.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a circuit on an integrated circuit chip which will fully protect the integrated circuit chip against power supply reversal without adding resistance to output driver leads in the chip.
In carrying out the above and other objects of the present invention, there is provided a circuit for use on an integrated circuit chip which does not current limit high output current circuits when proper polarity voltage is applied to the chip, but yet eliminates formation of large conductive forward biased diodes in the high current circuit when reverse polarity voltage is applied to the integrated circuit chip. In the high current circuit, tubs of N-channel drivers are not hardwired to VSS, but rather are tied to VSS through another N-channel transistor whose gate is tied to VDD. As a result, when the supply leads are reversed the tub floats and the inherent parasitic bipolar transistor will not have a source of base current and therefore prevents the inherent parasitic bipolar transistor from becoming a large forward biased diode.
The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is set forth in appended claims. The invention itself, however, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may be better understood by referring to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows in schematic form an embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a model of the circuitry of FIG. 1 when reverse supply voltage is applied to the circuit.
FIG. 3 is a pictorial representation of a cross-section of an integrated circuit implementation of one form of the present invention.
A portion of an integrated circuit chip having reverse battery protection is shown in FIG. 1. Transistors 11 and 12 form an inverter which provides an output at node 14. The output at node 14 is connected to gate electrodes of other transistors and therefore does not provide very much output current. Transistor 11 is a P-channel transistor and has its gate electrode connected to an input line 13. The source of P-channel transistor 11 is connected to voltage terminal VDD. Transistor 12 is an N-channel transistor connected in series with transistor 11 forming node 14 therebetween, and having its gate electrode connected to input 13. P tub 16 of transistor 12 is connected to the source of transistor 12. Resistor 18 is in series between transistor 12 and a reference terminal 19 which is commonly known as VSS. If it were not for resistor 18, P tub 16 would be hardwired to VSS. Resistor 18 serves as a current limiting resistor for the inverter formed by transistors 11 and 12 when reverse battery voltage is applied between terminal VDD and ground 19. In smoke detector circuits using a nine volt battery resistor 18 will generally keep the current flow through bond wires of the chip below the fuze limit of the bond wires if resistor 18 provides approximately 45 ohms of resistance. However, in a preferred embodiment resistor 18 provides 100 ohms of resistance to insure a safe operating margin and at the same time provides some leeway in case of process variation effects upon the ohmic value of resistor 18. A secondary reference or ground is established at node 17 and this secondary reference can be used by all low current circuits on the chip.
Output node 14 can be coupled to other circuitry such as gate electrodes of drivers 21 and 22. Transistor 21 is a P-channel transistor having a source connected to voltage terminal VDD and has its drain electrode connected to node 23. N-channel transistor 22 is in series with P-channel transistor 21 and has its drain electrode connected to node 23 and its source electrode connected to ground 19. The gate electrodes of transistors 21 and 22 are shown coupled to output node 14. P tub 24 of transistor 22 is coupled through N-channel transistor 26 to ground 19. In a preferred embodiment, N-channel transistor 26 is in the same P tub as N-channel transistor 22. Accordingly, P tubs 24 and 27 are one and the same in a preferred embodiment. The gate electrode of transistor 26 is connected to voltage terminal VDD which causes transistor 26 to be forward biased thereby completing the path for substrate 24 to ground 19. Node 23 serves as the output for the output driver and provides a full current capability output.
In a typical CMOS circuit not having reverse battery protection, resistor 18 would be replaced by a short and transistor 26 would not be required. If transistor 26 were absent, substrate 24 would be directly connected or hardwired to ground 19. The addition of resistor 18 provides reverse battery protection for all circuits on the integrated circuit chip requiring low current flow. On most integrated circuit chips one resistor 18 would be sufficient for all the returns from the low current circuits which would be connected to node 17. This would provide a ground reference for the low current circuits which would be separated from ground 19 by resistor 18. For an output driver requiring full current, a current limiter would not be desirable and therefore transistor 26 is used to provide the reverse battery protection. By the use of transistor 26, means are provided to internally limit the reverse current while not degrading the output drive capabilities of the circuit. Transistor 26 serves to remove any source of bias current to the base of the inherent parasitic bipolar transistor formed by transistor 22. An additional precaution that may be desirable to take would be to avoid having a ground line tied to a P+ difusion as would be the case if the VSS or ground line is tunneled under a metal line, because this would create a large forward biased diode between the P+ diffusion and the substrate in a reverse battery condition.
It is preferred that resistor 18 be an electrically isolated resistor. In metal gate CMOS this can be accomplished by using an N-defused resistor in a floating P tub. In silicon gate processes resistor 18 can be made from doped polysilicon, or regardless of the process it could also be a thin film resistor.
In most integrated circuit chips, it is only necessary to provide one additional N-channel transistor to connect a P tub to ground. Then all other high current circuits can have their P tubs disconnected from ground and connected to the one additional N-channel transistor.
FIG. 2 illustrates a model of the circuitry of FIG. 1 when reverse polarity voltage is applied to terminals VDD and ground 19. The forward biased diode formed by transistor 21 is not illustrated since it is not needed for an understanding of the present invention. Portions of transistor 12 are used to form parasitic bipolar transistor 31. Transistor 31 has its base connected to its collector which causes the parastic bipolar transistor to function as a diode. However, the current flow through transistor 31 is limited by resistor 18, and therefore damage to the integrated circuit chip is prevented. Portions of transistors 11 and 12 (of FIG. 1) form series connected diodes 34 and 35. Diode 34 has its cathode connected to voltage terminal VDD, which is assumed to have a negative voltage applied to it for purposes of explanation of FIG. 2. The anode of diode 34 is connected to node 14, and the cathode of diode 35 is connected to node 14. The anode of diode 35 is connected to the collector and base of transistor 31. The voltage drop across transistor 31 is equal to one diode drop and as can be seen this voltage drop appears across diodes 34 and 35 also. Accordingly, the voltage at node 14 is approximately equal to one-half of a diode drop, which is not sufficient to forward bias a transistor which may be connected to node 14, such as transistor 22.
Transistor 22 will not form a parasitic bipolar transistor since its P tub 24 is not connected to ground. P tub 24 is connected to N-channel transistor 26 which forms a parasitic bipolar transistor 32. However, as can be seen in FIG. 2 the base electrode of transistor 32 is connected to P tub 24 and therefore does not receive any base current and therefore a conduction path is not provided between voltage terminals VDD and ground through transistors 22 and 32 when reverse polarity voltage is applied to the circuit. Also formed as a portion of transistors 22 and 26 is a diode 33. However, the anode of diode 33 is connected to the base of transistor 32 which as noted hereinbefore has no current source, and so diode 33 also does not conduct any current.
By now it should be appreciated that there has been provided a reverse battery protection circuit particularly useful in CMOS circuits such as smoke detectors. The P tub of an N-channel driver is tied to VSS or ground through another N-channel transistor within the same tub whose gate is connected to VDD. Accordingly, when reverse voltage is applied to the circuit, the VDD terminal becomes negative and this causes the tub transistor to be turned off. It should be noted that a guarded VSS is provided for the low current circuits of the integrated circuit chip.

text: Hello, The idea seems quite interesting. It reminded me to the reviews that you find on versiontracker.com Sometimes, when looking at applications on versiontracker that don't work well, there are indications in the reviews of alternative applications. So by expanding the idea, this idea could also be enhanced by also including an indication to alternative applications for applications with a restrictive license. (The question about how to inform/educate people about the license issue is not new in Ubuntu.) In versiontracker you see the user reviews of the current version; but there is a popup-menu that allows to view the reviews of other versions. I would think that the user should not have to turn to launchpad to write a review. He should be able to write it from the gui of the application that he uses to install new applications (Synaptic in Ubuntu). This would also simplify the procedure for the user to write a review as it could be connected automatically to the package/version he is currently looking at. (The user should not have to know launchpad in order to write a review.) Of course, there should be a central database on the internet to store all the reviews. (I don't know enough to judge whether launchpad could be a candidate.) Have a nice day.

CONCORD -- Councilman Tim Grayson has recused himself from choosing the developer for the Concord Naval Weapons Station.
"My character and my integrity as an elected leader are important to me and I will always put what is best for the Concord community first and foremost, and it is for this reason I will be recusing myself from voting on the selection of Master Developer for the Concord Naval Weapons Station," Grayson said in a Feb. 14 statement. "I believe this is the only way the public can restore its faith in this process without concern, moving forward, that there may be undue influence in the selection of a master developer."
An independent investigation into the developer selection process determined that Lennar Urban improperly lobbied Grayson by orchestrating contributions to his Assembly campaign. Grayson returned $16,800 in contributions from companies or individuals associated with Lennar, but he has denied knowing the donors were linked to the company.
Last year, Councilman Ron Leone recused himself from selecting the developer because he lives within 500 feet of the property included in the first phase of development.

FCS Knubster VS Surfboard Fin
The FCS VS KNUBSTER is essentially a centre fin that can be added to any quad set-up. The fin will increase drive and provide directional control through turns, without sacrificing speed, flow, or the freedom of movement typically associated with a quad.
The "KNUBSTER" is designed with a single tab that allows the fin to be positioned in the forward and rear centre plug to cater for the individual drive requirements of each surfer.
The FCS VS KNUBSTER, which is 3 3/4" by 2" high, was the 5th fin Kelly Slater used in his boards during the Quiksilver Pro in New York. According to Kelly's report, "The KNUBSTER makes your quad set-up feel faster, smoother, and it adds a little more control. It just tightens everything it up a bit".
Interestingly Kelly was riding the FCS VS KNUBSTER when he scored his two 10 point rides in 2011. The first at the Quiksilver Pro in NY where he performed one of the best airs ever seen in competition, and the second at The Rip Cur Pro in Portugal in heaving barrels.
Adding the FCS VS KNUBSTER to your quad set-up is an affordable way to add a new dimension
to your surfing. FCS recommends using the fin with the FCS K2.1 Quad.Learn More

- UK poised to have first woman PM since Margaret Thatcher
LONDON: Britain is poised to get its first woman Prime Minister in more than a quarter of a century since Margaret Thatcher as the race to succeed David Cameron after the Brexit vote narrowed down on Thursday to home secretary Theresa May and energy minister Andrea Leadsom. May will now go head to head with Leadsom in an all-woman contest after justice secretary Michael Gove was eliminated from the Conservative party leadership race with the least votes in the second round of voting today. "This vote proves the Conservative party can come together," May said after she received the backing of 199 Tory MPs compared to Leadsom's 84 and Gove's 46. May and Leadsom will now begin their campaigns to convince the wider Conservative party membership around the country for a final round of voting with the winner set to be declared on September 9. It is now certain that the winner will go on to become Britain's second female Prime Minister after Margaret Thatcher. Today's results were announced at Westminster by Conservative MP Graham Brady, the chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee. There had originally been five contenders to succeed Cameron, who had announced his resignation after Britain voted to leave the European Union (EU) in June 23 referendum. The contest now moves to its final stage with the Conservative Party's 150,000-strong membership deciding between May, a Remain campaigner with a long track record in government, and Leadsom, a strong Brexit campaigner with a background in business by postal ballot. The race had thrown up its share of controversies with Gove's campaign chief, Nick Boles, allegedly texting MPs to vote tactically in favour of his candidate. His message read: "What if Theresa stumbles? Are we really confident that the membership won't vote for a fresh face who shares their attitudes about much of modern life, like they did with IDS [Ian Duncan Smith]?" It triggered a backlash, forcing Boles to apologise and claiming that Gove had no knowledge of his message. It had led May to urge her supporters to not vote tactically as she once again called for a "proper contest". The 59-year-old has gradually emerged as the candidate with the most backing among both remain and leave camps within the Tory party, despite having supported Cameron during the EU referendum campaign. "Under Theresa's leadership, the motives of the Conservative Party will never be in any doubt," said Indian-origin minister Priti Patel, a Brexit supporter who threw her support behind May earlier today.

Made this last year for our big church sale. Sold very well. Followed this recipe exactly and came out great again. Had to label it under Spicey. Use a lot of your recipes with good results.
It is a winner. I made an adjustment just because I didn't raisins/sultanas in the house. I used what we call "cake mix" in South Africa. It's a mixture of raisins, sultanas, currants and orange peel. I also cooked the mixture for 1,5 hours.
My son gave me some lovely fresh apricots, so this recipe was a winner for me right from the start. It was made using fresh rather than dried apricots, and it was a fairly large batch, so not too hard to triple. I expected I'd be making it after a big day at work, but came home to find my husband had it completely under way. We have licked the spoons several times as it cooke (oh, it took quite a bit longer to get the triple batch the right consistency) and can't wait to taste it after it matures as it's spectacularly good already! Russ made your recipe as written except for grating in some fresh ginger root which seemed to go so well with the other ingredients. Thanks for posting luvcook'n.

I have having driving lessons with Emma in Gosport for a couple of months now and feel like I'm getting on really well. I had very little confidence when I first started but Emma has made me feel really at ease and is extremely patient with me, especially when i make 'little mistakes'. I am now looking forward to passing my test (which terrified me at just the thought) and will certainly be recommending Emma to anyone who wants a fantastic driving instructor. Thank you for being so amazing Emma xx

[January 03, 2013]
PR Newswire's Business Technology Round-up, 3 January 2013
LONDON, January 3, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Hyundai integrate Google Maps into software, crowd-funded projects to be exhibited and LG to unveil new robotic vacuum Hyundai have enlisted the help of internet giants Google to aid American drivers in finding their way around in their latest line-up of motors.
The car manufacturing company announced yesterday that Google Maps application programming interfaces (APIs) will be utilised in their Blue Link telematics platform, which is based in the US and allows drivers to find routes to their chosen destination quicker.
The Hyundai Blue Link will receive a number of new features thanks to its integration of the Google Maps APIs including Local Search by Voice, Point of Interest Search and Send to Car. The technology will be exhibited by Hyundai at the 2013 International CES next week in Las Vegas.
Also being exhibited at the CES are a couple of innovations that have benefited from the investment of fledgling philanthropists on crowdfunding website IndieGoGo.com.
One of the inventions, Stick-N-Find, has managed to raise $450,000 via the web platform. The total is more than six times the original campaign goal.
The invention consists of a small Bluetooth sticker that can be attached or inserted into objects such as wallets and phones, enabling users to locate the objects through the related mobile app on a radar-style screen interface. The device is currently in production and will be delivered for distribution and promotion in March 2013.
Another innovation, MeterPlug, which plugs into power outlets and sends consumption usage and cost data directly to an app on user's smartphones, launched only a week ago and has already received more than $50,000 in funds backing its production.
Finally, in addition to their new range of Smart TVs and a number of other devices, LG will be demonstrating something designed to share the burden of keeping the home clean and tidy.
The LG HOM-BOT Square is the latest of the electronics company's robotic vacuums which clean rooms of the home autonomously.
The latest model, which has been completely redesigned from its predecessor, benefits from much-improved cleaning technologies, including Dual Eye 2.0� cameras, which scan and map rooms as well and ultrasonic and infrared sensors which help the machine avoid colliding with obstacles.
A Turbo Mode can be selected in the vacuum's settings, allowing the owner to adjust the machine to work more effectively on their type of flooring, while a larger-capacity Easy-out Dust Bin and improved Lithium Ion battery mean that the device will run for longer before needing to be emptied or have its battery charged.

Apollo 11 failure would have left Armstrong stranded on moon
Washington: United States President Richard M. Nixon welcomed the Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. aboard the USS Hornet after they landed on Earth following their successful lunar mission.
On July 21, 1969, Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin launched from the lunar surface and rejoined Michael Collins in orbit before the three men began their trip home.
But what would have happened if the astronomers fail to start up the spacecraft's engine – it could have left Aldrin and Armstrong stranded on the moon with no way home.
It was a gruesome scenario, but not impossible. In the unlikely event this lunar disaster did happen, NASA had a plan in place, according to Discovery News.
On Apollo missions, the engines were possibly the most important piece of hardware. After reaching Earth orbit, the crew fired the Saturn V rocket's upper stage engine to launch them towards the moon. Four days later, they had to slow their spacecraft to enter into lunar orbit, and this meant firing their Command and Service Module's (CSM) engine against their direction of travel.
To make a soft landing on the moon, the two astronauts in the Lunar Module (LM) relied on its descent engine. Leaving the lunar surface to meet the third astronaut in orbit, the two lunar astronauts relied on the LM's ascent engine. Once the CSM and LM were docked, the crew fired the CSM's engine to leave lunar orbit and return home.
Throughout the flight, the crew also adjusted their trajectory using the CSM's engine for mid-course correction burns. These were fairly common; Apollo 11 had four in its mission plan for on way towards the moon alone.
Almost anything on the spacecraft could fail without the mission turning fatal to the crew except the engines. Apollo 13 is the perfect example. When the oxygen tank exploded taking out half the spacecraft's power, the crew shut down everything in both the CSM and the LM to conserve power for re-entry. They let gravity slingshot them around the Moon and bring them back towards Earth, but they did use the LM's descent engine -- the only undamaged engine -- for mid-course corrections.
An engine failing to fire was one of the worst things that could happen on an Apollo mission. But there was always the chance that slim 0.01 percent chance, which it would be the LM ascent engine that failed leaving the crew to die on the lunar surface. NASA knew this was a possibility, so plans were in place in the event of a lunar disaster.
So, what would have happened if, on July 21, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin packed up from their stay on the lunar surface, fired their LM ascent engine, and nothing happened?
Collins orbiting in the CSM would have been helpless. There was no contingency for him to recover the LM with the CSM. It didn't have that capacity. He would have followed orders and returned to Earth alone. President Nixon would have called the widows-to-be, Janet Armstrong and Marion Aldrin. He would then read a prepared statement to the world, and likely to the crew on the Moon as well.
NASA would probably have stayed in contact with the Armstrong and Aldrin afterwards, though the LM's limited oxygen supply would be running low then. After ending the final communication with the stranded Apollo 11 crew, a clergyman would take over the broadcast from NASA and carry out the procedures of a burial.
But Apollo 11's LM ascent engine did fire, as it did on the five lunar landing missions that followed. It's a good thing, too.

Product Description:
This dense, layered, and highly political film is an example of French auteur Jean-Luc Godard's work at its most challenging and exhilarating, adding another powerful social commentary to his startlingly original 1960s catalogue. The "her" of the title refers to two objects: Juliette, a woman who resides in one of Paris's drab, ugly suburbs, and the capital city itself. Using a fragmented narrative style that mirrors Juliette's clipped, confused existence, Godard looks at a day in the life of Juliette and the cast of Parisian women that revolves around her. A constant juxtaposition of images compares Juliette's alienating existence as a housewife and a prostitute with the equally alienating and constantly changing face of Paris--seen in documentary-style footage, shot in glorious CinemaScope by Raoul Coutard. Godard also sets his sights on the concept of language itself, questioning the reality of words, their history, and their ability to convey the truth of actual day-to-day occurrences. Godard himself provides a whispered, but very trenchant, narration throughout the film, which further implicates the modern world for moving too quickly and soullessly, condemning the escalating violence in Vietnam, the growing infatuation with television, and the world's animalistic dependence on sex and sexuality. Simply put, this is cinema at its most thought provoking.
Product Description:
In 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (2 ou 3 choses que je sais d'elle) Jean-Luc Godard beckons us ever closer, literally whispering in our ears as narrator. About what' Money, sex, fashion, the city, love, language, war: in a word, everything. Considered by many to be among the legendary French filmmaker's finest achievements, the film takes as its ostensible subject the daily life of Juliette Janson (Marina Vlady), a housewife from the Paris suburbs who prostitutes herself for extra money. Yet this is only a template for Godard to spin off into provocative philosophical tangents and gorgeous images. 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her is perhaps Godard's most revelatory look at consumer culture, shot in ravishing widescreen color by Raoul Coutard.
Plot Synopsis:
TWO OR THREE THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER depicts a middle-class housewife who becomes occupied with part-time prostitution as a way to occupy and distract herself from her ordinary life. Highly acclaimed film from New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard, combining social comment with dazzling visual style.

Geelani released from house arrest
New Delhi: After being put under house arrest here for nearly three weeks, Kashmiri separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani was released as Delhi Police withdrew its personnel from his South Delhi home Wednesday evening.
Describing his detention as "illegal" and an act of "high-handedness" on the part of the Centre and Jammu and Kashmir government, 83-year-old Geelani said he will be chalking his future strategy in a couple of days including a decision on his return to Kashmir Valley .
Geelani, who has a two-room flat near Malviya Nagar, was placed under house arrest on the morning of February nine, the day when Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru was hanged in Tihar jail.
"The police withdrew at 7 PM this evening," he said,
Along with Geelani, moderate separatist leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq was also kept under house arrest but he was released last week.
Geelani claimed that police personnel, both men and women, had at one stage camped inside his flat for nearly two days.
Both the Hurriyat factions led by Geelani and Farooq had also given a strike call in protest against the execution of Afzal.
Geelani had termed the execution of as "unfortunate" and claimed that Afzal was not involved in the 2001 Parliament attack.

Father Time Lyrics by Stratovarius
Father Time by Stratovarius
Walking down the path that lead me to my memories.
Facing all the way without a care in my stride.
Where are the friends of my yesterday,
Have they moved on with their lives.
Can we still laugh and joke about things like before?
Theres no need to hide the past that I have left behind
Its a good resource somewhere for me to find
Why am I waiting for someone to reach out
it should be all up to them
keeping in touch aint that easy but Ill have to try
Where have all the years gone
That's what I am asking now.
What have I learned so far tell me Father Time
- Tell me now.
Now I understand I'll take from time what I need.
And I store it inside it's there for me to find
I can't deny that the years will pass by but it won't bother me.
Coz now I will set out to realize my dream.
Where have all the years gone
That's what I am asking now.
What have I learned so far tell me Father Time
- Tell me now.

Dee Snider Says Kiss Are Insulting Fans With Replacement Members
Add Dee Snider to the list of those who think Kiss are making a terrible mistake by presenting new members in the classic makeup worn by departed founders Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
Add Dee Snider to the list of those who think Kiss are making a terrible mistake by presenting new members in the classic makeup worn by departed founders Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
The full-blown Kiss concert experience is big enough to require the occasional use of pre-recorded backing tracks, but that doesn't mean the group has forgotten how to deliver an old-fashioned, stripped-down acoustic set.
At this point, it's almost a bigger deal when a major band doesn't rely to some extent on pre-recorded music during live performances, but it's still kind of embarrassing when a group gets caught miming.
The second track from Kiss' two-song collaboration with the Japanese pop group Momoiro Clover Z has apparently surfaced online.
See the full version Kiss and Momoiro Clover Z's crazy new video...
A new trailer for a video featuring KISS with Japanese girl group Momorio Clover Z has surfaced online.
The first sample of the collaborative single featuring Kiss and Japanese pop group Momoiro Clover Z has been unveiled.
Promising to "bring new surprises and drive you wild and crazy," the members of Kiss are returning to the seas in 2015 for Kiss Kruise V.
Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley nearly died on stage on Dec. 12, 1976.
KISS' Paul Stanley was apparently not happy with the band's experience at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Kiss founder Paul Stanley, seems to agree with Gene Simmons' much-discussed "rock is dead" declaration. Paul insists that the group would have a much tougher road if it were trying to begin their career under today industry standards...
They've been a fixture on the charts for decades, many current and former members have written memoirs and band co-founder Gene Simmons even had his own reality show, so how much of the Kiss story could really be left untold?

Poster Presentation
Purpose for the Program
Clinic populations often face multiple barriers to the acquisition of healthy, affordable foods during pregnancy. These barriers include lack of knowledge about optimal nutrition as well as access to whole foods. Clinic nurses are challenged to teach health information in short periods of time during the clients' visits to the clinic.
Proposed Change
Provide nurses with tools that allow them to teach effectively in short periods of time and provide clients with easy to use, understandable resources about healthy, affordable foods to consume during pregnancy.
Implementation, Outcomes, and Evaluation
Nurses were provided with Food Matters calendars to review and utilize as teaching tools in the clinic setting. Nurses were asked to perform a short pretest at the initial obstetric visit. In the initial visit, nurses reviewed the calendar and used it as a tool to begin the discussion about healthy, affordable foods to consume during pregnancy. In the month of July 2011, this program was implemented and 105 calendars were provided to newly pregnant patients. Nurses performed a short pretest with each client. Questions were asked to assess the clients' evaluation of their diet, desire to improve diet, and intention to utilize the foods calendar to improve diet. Post tests will be performed at the next monthly appointment and will assess any improvements in diet, especially those directly related to calendar usage. This program will continue until 400 calendars are distributed and post tests are complete. Nurses will be surveyed to assess comfort level and ease of use with the calendars. This initiative will be evaluated from the caregivers' and the clients' point of view.
Implications for Nursing Practice
Nurses who work with childbearing families, particularly in clinic settings, need effective and efficient teaching tools. The Food Matters calendar could serve as a prototype for nurses who are searching for tested tools to utilize in multiple settings.

Aiyar leaves Delhi, to be `hell out of country` during CWG
New Delhi: A vocal critic of the Commonwealth Games, senior Congress leader Manishankar Aiyar on Monday left the Capital, saying he will be "hell out of the country" during the mega sporting event.
"I am getting the hell out of the country," Aiyar said shortly before he left Delhi. He is believed to have gone to London with the event just round the corner. Aiyar had said last month that he was in no mood to witness the games and that he will opt to stay out of Delhi.
"I am hell out of the country for these two weeks, since I do no want to witness the games," Aiyar had said after attending ex-Union minister Shashi Tharoor`s marriage in
Kerala on August 22. The Games is due to start on October three.
59-year-old Aiyar, who has often gone ballistic for holding the Games in India, has stuck to his stand that it was premature for India to conduct such big sproting events. "The money being spent on the games could have been utilised for developing infrastructure in rural areas and for training sports persons in various disciplines to make India a strong sporting nation," he had said.
Aiyar had also created a furore by saying he would be unhappy if the Commonwealth Games are a success and that only "evil" will patronise them.

While the economic outlook for The Richmond Times-Dispatch might give some cause for concern, the publication is still rich in history. And it was once a giant in state, to some extent national, journalism. Earle Dunford spent 36 years working at the T-D, the majority of them as city editor, and he eventually wrote a history of the publication, "Richmond Times-Dispatch: The Story of a Newspaper," in 1995.

Girls of every type have deep desires and crave hardcore sex to satisfy their tastes, so tune in to the hottest sex tube to see how far they will go. Find petite chicks who love to get stretched open wide by big dicks, and hear them scream in pleasure as their tight pussies get stuffed by a well-hung stud who thrusts and pounds into them. Watch girls who have an endless hunger for cock, deepthroat the biggest boners and gag willingly as they continue to suck and stroke. See babes who can't contain their horniness stop the car on the side of the road so they can ride their man in the backseat. Watch an erotic scene of how quickly an oily massage can become intense when a horny masseur gets hard by rubbing a tight chick, and when he reaches between her cheeks to probe her asshole, watch her quickly get on all fours and invite him to fuck her anally. Other babes can't decide whether they prefer getting pounded in their ass or their pussy and so instead opt for double penetration by two lucky hunks, and then there are those who spend their time at wild sex parties to ride as many guys as possible. The wildest movies are always free on spankwire.com, so don't delay
