THE MANAGEMENT of gangrene and infection of the lower extremities associated with arteriosclerosis and diabetes has made important strides since the advent of antibiotics. With the control of most foot infections, a more conservative treatment of the necrotic lesions per se has become possible. Whereas before the use of antibiotics major amputations were frequently unavoidable, since their availability local foot surgery, in selected cases, has become feasible and safe and has often resulted in salvage of the limb.
Good results following transmetatarsal amputation for ischemic gangrene and infection in 75 patients with diabetes were first reported by McKittrick in 1946.1 Subsequently, Furste and Herrmann in 1948,2 McKittrick and his associates in 1949,3 Warren and his associates in 1952,4 and others * further emphasized the value of this conservative surgical procedure.
With the introduction of the transmetatarsal amputation into the surgical armamentarium, there was good reason to believe

A medical emergency has scratched neo-soul singer D'Angelo from Friday's lineup at the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
The ailment, which was not disclosed, marks the latest setback in D'Angelo's prolonged attempts at a career revival.
Outside Lands organizers released a statement saying the singer "expresses his sincere regret due to this unfortunate circumstance."
His replacement was an intiguing choice: The famed disco band Chic featuring the guitarist, producer and songwriter Nile Rodgers. Chic is best know for such 1970s dance-floor staples as "Le Freak" "I Want Your Love"and "Everybody Dance." Rodgers, however, has maitained a steady career since then, collaborating with everyone from Diana Ross to David Bowie to Duran Duran. His riffs were most recently featured on several tracks in Daft Punk's new album, including the smash hit "Get Lucky."
As for D'Angelo, the Los Angeles Times reported he has canceled a string of performances over the last week or more, including last weekend's Spirit Festival in Maryland, as well as shows in Chicago, Minneapolis, San Diego and New York.
The Times said an agent for the singer described D'Angelo's ailment as "serious, but he should be OK."
D'Angelo is still working on a follow-up album to 2000's "Voodoo."

Iran, 2006, 96 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Foreign, Romantic ComedyLanguage: Persian English Sub-Titles
Mon, March 31 - Wed, April 2
Atieh's singular passion is food, and her small but popular restaurant on the sleepy Caspian coast is her pride and joy. But when Aziz, a former lover, appears after a twenty-year absence with the intention of closing the restaurant, Atieh prepares his favorite dishes, one after the other, in a desperate effort to convince him otherwise. Loosely based on the Persian fable of Shahrazad and the Thousand Myths (A Thousand and One Nights), director Ali Raffi uses the language of food to paint a richly textured portrait of life and love on the southern coast of Iran.

Calgary, ABCanada
December 17, 2011
I have studied 17 real human languages, but I am seriously considering studying Klingon and Na'vi. That would stamp me with the geek seal for sure.
I gave up video games 20 years ago because I was playing hours every day and I wanted to get some of my time back to do other things. I used to play Descent and a version of Robotron that I wrote myself in assembly for my home computer. The rule doesn't count if I'm at somebody elses place, and I have played some head-to-head martial arts games.
2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes. Avatar is my new obsession. I didn't watch it when it first came out because there was too much hype, but I only downloaded it a couple of weeks ago, and I've already watched it 20 times. Buffy th Vampire Slayer.
Hard to pick one. Mayim Bialik, Terry Gilliam, Tom Lehrer, Stephen Hawking, and Leonardo Da Vinci would be on the list
Something that would combine matial arts, languages, and singing. How about going to a karaoke bar and doing jump spinning kicks on stage whil singing "kung fu fighting" in Mandarin?
I can quote Monty Python and Buffy and I want a 3m-tall blue girlfriend.

Karl Rove says he directed the 1980 Reagan campaign in Texas. Oops.
Karl Rove has been working overtime trying to reassure the conservative wing of the GOP that some of his best friends are tea partiers.
On Bill O'Reilly's FOX News show last week, Rove tried to burnish his credentials with the right by asserting that he headed the Reagan presidential campaign in Texas in 1980. As it turns out, not so much.
In fact, Rove worked for George H.W. Bush against Reagan in the 1980 primary. Nobody else who was actually involved in the Reagan effort in the Lone Star State say Rove was in charge. Many who've known Rove for years say he has a history of embroidering the facts to fit the story most beneficial to him.
He's come under fire in recent days for helping create a new super PAC to pick winners in GOP primaries and avoid what he calls "bad candidates" from getting the nomination. Rove's outspoken criticism of tea party favorites including Senate hopefuls Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin has rankled the party's far-right base. Several long-time Rove donors and major supporers of the American Crossroads superPAC were on the wrong side in last year's GOP Senate primary in Texas. They backed Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the establishment candidate, against tea party star Ted Cruz, who won easily.
Asked to defend his conservative bona fides last week on The O'Reilly Factor, Rove declared: "I was the director of the Texas campaign for Ronald Reagan in the fall of 1980, and was appointed by President Reagan to sit on the White House Fellows Selection Panel."
Others in Texas don't remember it that way. Continue reading

Girl, 8, Shot Dead at Sleepover
Posted July 19th, 2013 @ 8:59am by Arden Dier, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – A young girl is dead after an innocent sleepover turned into a nightmare in Oakland on Wednesday night. Alaysha Carradine, 8, was shot and killed at a friend's apartment when a gunman rang the doorbell then proceeded to fire through the door, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Alaysha's friend, 7, her friend's brother, 4, and grandmother were all injured in the attack, which has so far left family members and police with more questions than answers.

A disillusioned Con Hunley closed the door on Nashville - until the music business came knocking again.
After hits like "What's New With You" and "Oh Girl," the soulfulsounding Con Hunley left Nashville behind in the late '80s when his career hit a rocky road. Bitter, he entered a tailspin that kept him from recording for more than a decade. Now he's back with a new album, a hot new single and a new lease on what he loves doing.
But getting to where he is today had its twists.
"While playing Knoxville clubs, I was invited to play in a celebrity golf tournament in Nashville," recalls Con of a fateful incident back in the late '70s. After the tournament, he was asked to participate in a "guitar pull," an informal gathering of singers. "And within days," he says, "I had offers from five major labels!"
He signed with one of them, Warner Bros., spent five years there and then switched to MCA. Five songs into recording a new album, the label got new management and Con got the ax.
Con hopped onboard another label, and one of his first singles, "What Am I Gonna Do About You," was flying up the charts in 1985 when the powers that be changed at the top again, and once more he was one of the casualties. His single sank like a rock.
"I got to thinking a country music career wasn't meant for me," confesses Con. "I was filled with selfdoubt - maybe I wasn't good enough, maybe I didn't deserve success. So I left Nashville and went home. Soon, with no new songs on the radio, gigs dwindled."
Then in 1996 Con was a surprise guest performer at the induction of his former producer, Norro Wilson, into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. After Con sang, a lot of industry folks came up, encouraging him to get back in the game.
"It was sweet moment for me," reveals Con. "My broken spirit was lifted up, and I realized how much I missed music and how much it meant to me."
Eventually, he and Norro went into the studio, and the result is Con's just-released single, "Still" - his endearing take on Bill Anderson's No. 1 smash - and a new CD called Sweet Memories.
"The title song came about when I lost my mother while I was recording the album," he explains. "Mom loved 'Sweet Memories,' that old Mickey Newberry song, so I put it and 'Amazing Grace' on the album in her honor."
Today, Con is a man at peace with himself. "I hold no bitterness or resentment," he declares. "All I care about is making the most out of doing the music I love.
"It's a love unlike any other love."

sendmail's new paradigm
By jbeck on Sep 30, 2004
Well, it's not all that new, as sendmail 8.12 was released over three years ago, but since few people pay attention to sendmail more than they have to, the major changes in 8.12 and their side effects may have gone unnoticed.
First, some background: sendmail has some historical notoriety from a security point of view, since it for many years was a setuid-root application, and thus a buffer overflow for example could make sendmail a vector for an unprivileged user to take over the system. Starting with version 8.12, however, sendmail lost its setuid bit in favor of becoming setgid to a new group.
To make queueing work, a split-queue model was created: /var/spool/mqueue as the traditional "server" queue with the same 750 root, bin permissions, and the new /var/spool/clientmqueue as the new (you guessed it) "client" queue with 770 smmsp, smmsp permissions. For the curious, "smmsp" is the new user and group invented for these purposes, having UID and GID values of 25 (chosen to match the SMTP port value in /etc/services), and it stands for "SendMail Message Submission Program".
The default configuration involving all "direct submission" messages [meaning messages submitted via sendmail invoked from the command line or comparably by programs such as mailx(1)] will go to the client queue. Messages in the client queue are then transferred to the SMTP server on the local host, which then proceeds in the traditional way. Thus running a sendmail daemon has become critical even for out-bound mail, at least from certain sources [such as cron(1M)]. See entry 3.44 of the sendmail FAQ for more details on this, as well as how to configure around this for hosts where accepting in-bound from other hosts is undesirable.

Graham Expects Congress to Push for New Iran Sanctions
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) said Sunday he expects Congress will push for a new round of sanctions on Iran and also outline acceptable conditions for a deal, after international negotiations failed this weekend to reach a deal halting the country's nuclear program.
Mr. Graham, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," criticized U.S. negotiators for being too willing to accept an agreement that eases international sanctions against the country without also requiring Iran to fully suspend its uranium enrichment programs.
"Sanctions, along with the threat of credible military force by the U.S. and Israel have got us to this point," he said. "If we back off now, I think that's exactly the wrong signal."
"I've never been more worried about the Obama administration's approach to the Middle East than I am now," he said.
Iran and six world powers, including the U.S., failed late Saturday in Geneva to seal an interim deal on Iran's nuclear ambitions that would set the stage for talks on a longer-term agreement. But the two sides agreed they had made enough progress to hold another round of talks.
In negotiations, U.S. officials indicated they would help Tehran repatriate as much as $50 billion in oil revenue that have been blocked in overseas accounts and free up Iran's trade in precious metals and petrochemicals. In exchange, they demanded Iran freeze the most advanced elements of its nuclear program—its production of near weapons-grade uranium—and limit the numbers and capacity of the centrifuge machines used to enrich uranium.
The chances of reaching a deal appeared to dwindle Saturday when French Foreign Minister Lauren Fabius told French radio that there were points in a draft text that France couldn't support, including concerns about what Iran would do with its stockpile of enriched uranium and a French demand that Iran suspend all work on its nuclear reactor at Arak.
"Thank God for France, and thank God for pushback," Mr. Graham said Sunday.
Secretary of State John Kerry defended the administration's willingness to ease sanctions on "Meet the Press" Sunday. "We voted for these sanctions in order to bring Iran to the negotiating table. Now that they're there, you have to act in some good faith in an effort to be able to move towards the goal you want to achieve," he said.
He emphasized that the "overall core architecture" of the sanctions would remain intact. "Iran will still be under enormous pressure," he said.
Talks are expected to resume Nov. 20, though at a lower level involving senior officials, not ministers.

Travel shows have always been a boost to Ventura's bottom line. That's why Ventura plans to have a bigger presence at one of the world's largest travel shows. The Ventura Visitors and Convention Bureau plans to attract tourists to town at the 8th Los Angeles Travel and Adventure show this weekend in Long Beach. The bureau will be joined by Islands Packers and Channel Islands Outfitters too. Guest speakers include Jean-Michel Cousteau and Rick Steves and even the host of The Bachelor. And one lucky visitor will win a grand prize trip to Ventura. The bureau's new Executive Director Marlyss Munguia Auster says Ventura is the kind of relaxing vacation spot where you won't need a vacation from your vacation. She says there are uncrowded beaches, great restaurants and outdoor activities. The show is also a great place to meet film and TV producers looking for locations. The bureau located on California Street is considered a one stop shop for Hollywood.Travel ShowVentura Visitors & Convention Bureau Share your comments about this story with us on the  KEY News Facebook page.Connect with KEY News on Twitter

The New iPad Could Create High-Speed Headaches for CIOs
By Clint Boulton
(This article is from WSJ.com's CIO Journal, a new premium digital edition launching soon.)
Apple's new iPad may prove taxing to corporate networks and mobile data plans, an IT expert said.
Given the popularity of Apple's new iPad, which went on sale on Friday, CIOs may find themselves facing more pressure than ever from employees eager to bring the high-powered tablet computer to work.
That is not a bad thing. The device has a high definition display and a 4G wireless connection that's 10 times faster than most existing networks. Those features, combined with a faster chip, should in theory lift employee productivity–and will certainly boost morale.
Putting all of that computing power in the hands of employees creates challenges for corporations, however. And it is up to CIOs to manage them.
If usage of the new tablet takes off at work companies may need to spend more money on high-speed data lines, said Amtel CEO P.J. Gupta. The company sells software that sets alerts and notifications on bandwidth consumption to help clients avoid overage charges, which kick in when limits on data plans have been exceeded.
Those overage charges could be a risk among users of the new iPad because its high-resolution display will enable them to view high-definition content, which consumes data more rapidly than standard definition technology.
"As you have better quality displays, and try to present better images on those displays, the network bandwidth required increases, and the amount of data you use goes up dramatically," says analyst Jack Gold, of J. Gold Associates. Companies need to be careful about handing out iPads to employees because the data plans that support them aren't cheap, Gold said.
AT&T data prices for tablets start at $30 a month for 3GB of data. Verizon's tablet data charges start at $30 a month for 2GB of data. Gupta said users of mobile broadband plans can consume three gigabytes to four gigabytes of data in a long video conferencing session conducted in HD, easily exceeding carrier data plans.
It's also March Madness time for NCAA basketball fans. Gupta said workers who sneak a peek to check out how their favorite teams are faring can rapidly exceed their data plans and rack up overage charges.
"It's a great product, but it's going to have cost implications," Gupta told CIO Journal.
CIOs are mindful of the risks–but believe that they can be managed. For example, employees of the Hyatt Hotel chain connect their iPads to the company's Wi-Fi network, says John Prusnick, IT innovation and strategy director. The network already is in place to serve hotel guests, so it costs little have employees share the bandwidth.
Apple doesn't publicly specify how many businesses use the iPad. But Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said nearly all of the major companies within the Fortune 500 are actively using the iPad to improve workflows, business processes and customer engagements. Bed Bath & Beyond, for instance, uses iPads to deliver key business metrics on the sales floor.

Toyota Shows Signs Of Quake Recovery
TOKYO—Toyota Motor Corp. joined other Japanese auto makers on Wednesday in reporting its first increase in monthly domestic output since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disrupted their global supply chains.
The August gains mark the latest step in the industry's steady efforts to restore domestic production to pre-quake levels, but executives continue to warn that the strong yen could undermine a recovery of the export-dependent industry.
Toyota, Japan's largest auto maker by output, posted a 12% on-year rise in domestic production in August, marking its first year-over-year increase in 12 months as a near-complete recovery in its parts supply chain helped boost output.
Toyota Yaris vehicles bound for export sit in a lot at the port of Sendai, Japan. Toyota posted a 12% on-year rise in domestic production in August, marking the first rise in 12 months
Suzuki Motor Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp. also said they boosted domestic production in the month.
Suzuki, Japan's fourth-largest auto maker by volume, said its output in August rose by 5.9% from a year ago, marking its first rise in 11 months, while Mazda, the country's fifth-largest car company, said its production climbed 5.6%, its first rise in six months.
Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co.—Japan's second- and third-largest car makers, reported 17% and 2.5% drops in domestic output in August, respectively.
The companies attributed the declines mainly to higher production a year ago spurred by strong demand by customers who rushed to buy fuel-efficient cars before the expiry of government subsidies.
In the April-July period, Japan's overall auto output fell 34%, or 1.4 million vehicles, compared with the same period in the previous year. But car makers are now poised to start to boost production to make up for delays after the March disasters.

Back at Work, Back to Work
Finally, the flu has left me, and I'm back at work. Today's adventure has been from Jennifer. First, I get a call at work, "My keys are in your truck" as soon as I get here this morning. Then, about six calls, "What do I do," "I'm taking the kids to school in a taxi," "I need a car to pickup the kids, after school," "My mom's coming to get the keys," "Are the keys really there?" "Where's my mom?" "Thanks."
Never mind what the keys were doing there in the first place.
Must . . . Write . . . Entry
Man, it's hard to write something halfway coherent sometimes. I've been sick with the flu since my last entry and I haven't been able to think of a single thing to write since. Flu-induced mental block or something. I just had my sister over to see my yard and deck. I built my own deck and did my own landscaping. I think my sister was amazed. She probably thought "ahh, he's an engineer. He can't actually do anything". I get that a lot. From my family. I don't know why. Maybe its because I'm pathalogically lazy. You know, one of those types that goes the extra mile to avoid working on something they don't like? Like someone who would spend an hour to write a program to do something that takes 5 minutes by hand just because they have to do it three times? Yep, I'm still incoherent with the flu.
Under the Weather
I had to go home from work today at noon because I felt awful. I thought my head was about to explode, or my stomach was going to repaint my office walls. I missed an Edmonton office staff meeting. That's too bad because the boss wanted me to deliver a state of the IT union.
It could have gone like this:
- Records Management – on hold waiting for records management task group to make critical decisions
- New Project Electronic Filing Structure – on hold waiting for records management task group to make critical decisions
- New Search Engine – on hold waiting for records management task group to make critical decisions
- New Backup System – on hold waiting for records management task group to make critical decisions
- Web-Accessibility Project – on hold waiting for records management task group to make critical decisions
- Outside Access to Project Data – on hold waiting for records management task group to make critical decisions
On second thought maybe it's a good thing I couldn't go.

I watched the swimming during the Olympics, of course, and I wanted to email Mark and tell him I thought a lot of the stuff he had to say about Swimming/Natation Canada was right on the money.

Mozilla Thunderbird 0.71 -> 0.8 -> 0.71
We use GroupWise at work, which besides having a very nice native Windows client, and for the latest version 6.5, a native Linux client, it is also totally standards complient, which lets you run any IMAP or POP3 mail cilent you like with the GroupWise back-end. I use Mozilla Thunderbird, because I am running Linux on my desktop, and our GroupWise back-end is version 6.03, which doesn't work with the native Linux GroupWise client. I'll probably switch to native GroupWise or Evolution once we upgrade to version 6.5.
Anyways, the Mozilla Project released a new point-release of Thunderbird last week, 0.8. I installed it Friday, and I noticed a couple of previously unheard-of crashes in Thunderbird. I thought maybe I had received a corrupted message. Today, however, it started crashing right from the get-go, so I moved my thunderbird directory to thunderbird-0.8-crash-city, and restored my thunderbird-0.7.1 folder. At least it's easy to do stuff like that when there's no giant pile of crud in a registry some where to cause everything to fail when you rename something.
I guess I'll wait for the next release.

Just bought an older Honda 100. Put in new plugs and fresh fuel. Starts up first pull, idles great but dies when put into gear, any thoughts?
Just bought an older Honda 100. Put in new plugs and fresh fuel. Starts up first pull, idles great but dies when put into gear, any thoughts?
Been tinkering with motor more tonight. I can put the motor in gear without stalling as long as dont let the shift handle fully ingauge but the lower unit is fully ingaged. Works the same in both forward and rev. There seems to be a switch that the shift handle activates when put into gear that is killing the motor. Any help would be appreciated.
Look inside the case just inboard of the shift lever. There should be a switch there with a blue wire and a black with white stripe wire. That is the neutral safety switch. Mounted to the shift selector shaft is a sort of "V" shaped piece of metal that travels through the center of that switch when the shifter is moved. That metal piece interferes with a magnetic field inside the switch when forward or reverse is selected.
I must confess that I don't know why that switch can keep the engine from starting but isn't supposed to kill it after it is running. Which is exactly what your problem sounds like.
I suspect that the switch is in parallel with the "operating" ignition but I don't readily see that in the info I have. I also suspect that your problem is in the "operating" or "running" ignition system and not in the switch. The only reason it starts and idles is because the switch is operating properly. That is all speculation of course.
I will be studying the ignition system to try and figure that out for you (and me) but, in the meantime, maybe someone else here already knows the answer.
Hook up a timing light and see if you loose spark when you move the shift lever fully forward !
Thanks for your reply. It seens that the problem comes and goes. I took off the safety switch to check for any visual damage and reinstalled. Initally had the same problem, then it ran great with the shifter fully ingauged. I switched from forward to rev several time for about 15 min leaving it idle in gear for 10 min or so then shut the motor down, put into neutral and restared, put into gear with shift handle fully ingauged and motor dies. Can I bypass the neutral safety switch to see if it may be the cause before buying a new one?
Slow down,-----the nuetral safety switch prevents cranking with electric start when in gear.-------------Likely not your problem.-------Revisit cleanliness of carburetor as that is the most probable cause of stalling.----There is likely a tiny orifice / passageway plugged with dirt.
Thanks for your reply, keep in mind that I can put into gear without it dying and seems to run great as long as i dont let the shift lever travel the extra inch or so where it wants to stop, then causes the motor to die. Thats why I was thing neutral safety switch. I have cleaned the carb, filter and installed new plugs.
Thanks again for your input.
FYI, I tried to disconect the wires from the neutral safety switch and the motor would not start. I them removed the Neutral safety switch from the bracket so that its not surrounding the shift lever shaft, left the wire connected and the motor runs and goes into gear without dieing. Safety issue now is it will start in gear. Dose anyone know how to test the switch to see if its bad?
Sorry to butt in...
When the shifter is in neutral, the switch is closed. Should read 0 ohms.
When the shifter is in forward or reverse, the switch is open. Should read infinity ohms.
You can adjust the shield plate on the shift arm.
Basically, this is a magnetic switch.
Mike, thanks for the reply, I will reattach the switch and check with a meter. Is the metal tab with the "V" notch the shield plate?
Yes, that is the shield plate.
Mike, glad you're watching. Can you explain the strategy that has the safety switch killing ignition while trying to start but doesn't kill the ignition when you put the motor in gear while it's running?
It is done with mirrors.
In other words, I do not have a clue. All I know is that it works. Only had an issue with these a couple of times, so did not spend much time investigating. The detailed circuit breakdown in the Service Manual does not show it in the circuit. It only appears in the block diagram. It is evidently, a circuit that needs to be closed for starting only.
Any chance someone could tell me the year and confirm the HP of this motor. I believe it a 10hp. B-100L 1600973
1984 The model number is BF100E if you are looking for parts.
Ok, here's how I interpret the neutral start circuit and ignition current "hand off" that occurs on the CDI system that keeps the engine running when the motor is put into gear. My reference is the HELM INC., Honda Marine, BF 75-BF100-BF8 A shop service manual.
The exciter coil is supplied with two circuits to ground that are internal to the CDI module. Each circuit shows an inline resistor, internal to the module. No resistance value is given for either resistor. In order for the exciter coil to produce current flow to charge the ignition capacitor, one or both of these circuits must have continuity to ground.
One circuit is grounded through the neutral safety switch. The other circuit is grounded through the oil pressure indicator lamp and through the oil pressure indicator pressure switch.
When the engine starts and builds sufficient oil pressure, the pressure switch closes and the lamp illuminates. As long as this circuit has continuity, the exciter coil is able to continue to charge the ignition discharge capacitor and keep the engine firing even when the outboard is put in gear and the neutral safety switch goes open.
So, if the engine wants to die when placed in gear, it could be the ignition shutting down due to one or more of the following;
Low oil pressure.
Faulty oil pressure switch.
Faulty oil pressure indicator lamp.
Internal open in the CDI module's oil pressure indicator circuit.
Faulty connections or wiring between the CDI connector and oil pressure switch.
Hey Jimmy,
What page are you seeing that info on.
The only schematic that I can find includes the stop switch and the oil pressure switch, but not the neutral safety switch.
I do not see where the oil pressure switch keeps the motor running. It looks to me that the exciter coil is putting out voltage no matter what. I must be missing something.
I have had experience when the motor would not run due to a shorted out oil light (very rare). The circuit was acting just like a kill switch.
I am looking on page 96 under operating principles.
Puzzeled (As usual for an old guy)
Hi Mike,
That's my "info" and I'm making it up as I go
I'm looking at page 96 in my manual too. It is my opinion that the two circuits that are shown above the charging coil bridge rectifier are the oil lamp circuit and the neutral switch circuit. They aren't labeled as such but I don't see the engine stop switch on that diagram either. But, isn't the stop switch just wired so as to ground the positive side of the coil primary winding? If so, it wouldn't need a resistor internal to the CDI so that's why I think that depiction in the book is of the neutral switch.
Also, I don't believe that the exciter coil can attain a path to ground through the discharge capacitor or the thyristor. So, in order to begin "charging" and create a potential to charge up the cap, a complete circuit for the coil needs to be maintained through at least one of those two grounds.
I haven't tested my theory empirically yet as I don't have a running "oldie" in the shop at the moment. But, at least, I've got you hooked into looking at it now and if I haven't got it figured out correctly then I bet that you eventually will my friend Then, we can draw up a proper diagram to give to the guys.
This manual I have already has a bunch of changes relating to coil specifications that you had to straighten me out on once before. The book was wrong and you were right!
The one reason I do not think the neutral safety switch is in the schematic, is because there is no mention of it in the operational writeup. The neutral safety switch is discussed in the next section, but does not talk about how it is involved, electrically, in the starting of the engine.
Also, I would think the stop switch goes through a resistor and not directly to ground because that would put the exciter coil in a direct short to ground and the current (even though temporarily) would be very high. I would think that from a design point of view, it would be "grounded" through a resistor low enough in value to keep the cdi from functioning, but not too low for high current to heat up the exciter, eventually causing a failure.
Only conjecture at this point.
I will keep an eye out for a better schematic that includes the neutral safety switch. That should tie it together.
There may be something in the archives the explain the neutral safety switch when it was first introduced with the BF75 when it changed to a cdi.
Thank you for all your help, there was a lot of research that went into finding out how this system operates. Is it possible that the neutral safety switch is bad? I bypassed the switch by removing it from the bracket and leaving the wires attached. I trolled with this motor several hours over the weekend and it ran great. I have ordered a new neutral safety switch from my local Honda shop and it should be in this week. Your list of possible causes seem to be all related to oil pressure. My oil light is on when the motor is running and was always on when the motor died when put into gear until I bypassed the neutral switch.
Thanks Again for all your help
Hi Steve,
Well, you're welcome of course but, then again, I had selfish motivation in trying to help solve your problem. Also, it would seem that my theory about the oil switch and oil indicator lamp was all a bunch of hooey anyway. Your own experience proves that. If your oil light remained on when the engine was losing ignition then my theory just can't hold water.
The bad news is, though, I'm not sure your new neutral switch will solve the problem. I now tend to think that the ignition continuity is being switched internal to the CDI module, after the engine starts, via a solid state circuit using transistors not illustrated by the rudimentary drawing in the service manual. I should have known but I tend to "outsmart" myself from time to time. If that is the case, the module is probably defective. I don't know if they are even available anymore.
At any rate, I guess you'll soon find out. Let us know what happens and good luck.
I hope they can get one. It looks to me like the switch is backordered. Not a good sign.
It is possible that it is bad. Have you tried adjusting the shield?
Thanks for putting up with Jimmy's and my theorizing. As you can tell, it really bugs us not to know how something as simple as this cdi works.
I have the same outboard - same exact problem and Mr. Google found this thread - which was very useful to me.
Turns out that my outboard ran fine until I had to get at the rectifier and had to remove the Nuetral safety switch assy. When I put things back together, the output ran great as long as not in gear. Oil pressure light and system seemed to also work perfectly.. But when I would put it in gear, it would die very fast.
I tried to do something similar to what the OP did - see if the outboard would run with the switch assembly removed. The outboard would not start but I did get a nice shock when I touched the switch assembly housing when I pulled the starter rope..
On my outboard, there are a couple wires which I guess are some sort of ground that connect to the nuetral safety switch housing. When I examined things, I found paint or something like that where the nuetral safety switch grounded to the outboard chassis. I cleaned this up so that the nuetral safety switch chassis now made a good ground to the outboard chassis - put the bolt back in place.
Outboard ran perfectly after I did this.. no problem at all switching into either forward or reverse. So I think at least in my case, I had a poor "grounding" electrical connection between the nuetral safety switch housing and the outboard chassis.

Hi walt_h,
Thanks for taking the time to post your findings. This system and it's "explanation of operation" in the service manual still confounds me. The book just doesn't describe what changes when the engine is running so as putting it into gear doesn't kill the ignition. I'll figure it out someday. At least you figured yours out and shared it with the group.
Thanks again, and WELCOME ABOARD!

I of course spoke too soon about solving my problem... but now think it may have been due to a blown rectifier in the charging system.
Note.. I did not mention this before.. but I had just put back in a known bad rectifier - why?? good question.. but mostly so that I wouldn�t lose it.. Also, my outboard is a 1990 BF8 (8 hp).
Below is with the known bad rectifier connected in the original wiring..
I can start the outboard - runs fine and the oil light is on.
The neutral safety switch has two metal ears and when I rotate the shift lever in either direction but not enough to actually shift, the lever will get to some point where the oil light goes off - and the engine dies.
I am fairly sure that the light goes off and the engine dies when the metal "ear" is in between the neutral sensor. I�m fairly sure the metal ear in the sensor slot correlates with the engine dyeing. Other than this, the engine runs perfectly.
It seams that some other "circuit" is in parallel with the neutral safety switch and the other circuit is what is supposed to keep the ignition working when in gear. I checked the neutral safety switch and it is a short when in neutral (i.e., no metal ear in the slot) and it becomes an open when the metal ear is in the slot - i.e., when in gear (F or R).
Remembering about the bad rectifier, I disconnected the wires to it - then assembled the neutral switch again. Now.. everything works fine again. Why this weird interaction.. don�t know and Ill have to keep checking. But it seems that the problem may somehow be caused by the bad rectifier. FYI, I can�t remember the details from when I checked the rectifier (was about four years ago) but I believe at least one of the diodes looks like a short.
FYI, I think the previous owner had disconnected the charging system from the battery while the engine was running and blew the rectifier (in a sailboat and he had a switch between the outboard and the battery). I had checked the rectifier in the past in a lab at work - it was blown.
Problem is still not solved.. I started the outboard this morning (cool morning early Sept in Denver) and still have trouble with the neutral safety switch.
What happened this morning (with the bad rectifier disconnected - should be no problem since this is only used to charge a battery and there is no battery in this case) - I started the outboard no problem but then had the same problem - when the neutral safety switch opens, the outboard stops running.
I then let the outboard run about one minute - then I could put it in gear. However, I let it idle in Neutral again - and then the neutral safety switch once again would kill the outboard when put in gear.
The neutral safety switch is just a "logic" input to the electronic ignition module. I there any good reason to not just SHORT the two wires to the Neutral safety switch? I don't have electric start and am fairly sure this will solve the problem.
And.. I don't want to start replacing things like the electronic ignition module without understanding why it's making the decision to shut down the motor based on the neutral safety switch.
Hi walt_h,
Yes, I think that shorting the neutral safety switch wire to ground is going to be the ONLY way for you to operate the engine. Here is why I THINK (don't know for sure) that:
My latest theory *(guess) as to what is going on is that, as you stated above, the neutral safety switch circuit to ground is in parallel to another ground to keep the ignition firing. The neutral switch ground enables the engine to be started but then there is a "switching" to the parallel ground once the engine is running. I believe (don't know for sure) that the switching takes place in the ignition module.
Therefore, I think that the engines that behave in the way yours is behaving now have bad "switching" circuits in the ignition module. Running the engine from the neutral switch might be the only way to keep the engine running now without replacing the ignition module. And, I don't think you can still buy a new direct replacement.
I also think that they had so much trouble with these back in the day, that is why this system isn't used anymore. The newer pull starts use a mechanical lockout to keep you from starting the outboard in gear. That's my new story and I'm sticking with it until, once again, somebody proves me wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.
Done... on my outboard, there is a two wire set that comes from the CDI module and plugs into a set of wires going to the nuetral "cause a problem" switch. I just disconnected the wire set and plugged the two wires together that go to thd CDI module (ie, I shorted the two wire set going to the CDI). This is the same electrically as what the NSS did when in nuetral. There was even a male and female connector on this set, made it easy.
So far, this seems to have completely solved the problem - but I can start the outboard in gear which probably has some safety risk??
Thanks for taking the time here..
I may have missed it..in my old age...but did you ever adjust the neutral safety switch, so that it operates properly in neutral as well as in gear?
If everything is in adjustment....as you said, the cdi probably has a bad circuit
Yeah, this circuit is a mystery. It must be some sort of "latching" circuit in the CDI pack. Unfortunately...no good circuit diagram to explain it.
Yeah, you really don't want to have that puppy start up in gear if the throttle is open. I do repairs for a rental fleet and the owner is "old school". Against my advice, he wants all the start neutral lockouts disabled so that the customers won't call for a rescue when they can't figure out that they left the outboard in gear and can't get it started. Accidents waiting to happen. I am really amazed that they haven't made the evening news yet.
So, be careful!

Sometimes the most flavorful dishes are the easiest. Oven Baked Trout is definitely one of them. Over the weekend Adam and I were craving seafood (quite a common occurrence for Adam), so we went into our local grocery store and took a look at what the seafood counter had to offer. Of course Adam immediately spots the lobster, large scallops and Chilean sea bass, but knowing that our paycheck had already been widdled away after our mortgage payment, bills, gas, etc… we knew we had to look for something else. I noticed some really fresh looking trout that had already been cleaned (a major plus) and decided to get two nicely sized fish, it cost under $6.00.
To roast the fish, it is so simple. Make sure the fish is cleaned and butterflied, you can even ask the person behind the seafood counter to do this for you, but if you feel adventurous (we didn't) you can follow one of the many How-To articles online, just type in "how to clean a trout" in the search box of your favorite search engine and you will find tons of advice. Then, rub the fish inside and out with some olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper, add some slices of lemon and a few sprigs of parsley, wrap the fish in aluminum foil and bake in the oven.
- 2 cleaned and butterflied trout (head removed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 4 sprigs of parsley
- salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Rub the cleaned and butterflied trout with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper both inside and outside of the fish.
- Place a few slices of lemon and 2 sprigs of parsley in the middle of each trout, then seperatly wrap each trout with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the fish are cooked.

North American transaction volumes increased by 24 percent while ACV decreased by 10 percent over Q3.
DALLAS, February 7, 2011 ─ Building on the momentum gained in mid-2010, the global outsourcing and offshoring market continued on a growth trajectory with eight mega deals, each having a contract value over $1 billion, announced in the fourth quarter of 2010, according to Everest Group, an advisory and research firm on global services. The number of outsourcing transactions was at a 36-month high while captive activity continued to remain healthy. There was also significant offshore activity reported with buyers and service providers setting up their delivery centers in many locations. A one-hour Webinar will be held February 10, 9 a.m. CST, to present study findings and insights.
Everest Group's Market Vista: Q4 2010, a quarterly report on global outsourcing and offshoring activity, reports global transaction volumes reached a three-year high with deals accounting for about US$4.9 billion in annual contract value (ACV). Compared to the previous quarter, the outsourcing market grew by 6 percent in terms of transactions and 44 percent by ACV. Compared to Q3 2010, the IT Outsourcing (ITO) market increased by 16 percent in terms of transaction volume, and the number of Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO) transactions slightly dipped.
Other fourth quarter 2010 findings include:
"The fourth quarter capped off a year where we saw the global sourcing market gain traction in terms of transactions yet, for the most part, see lower annual contract values," said Eric Simonson, managing partner of Research. "This trend is reflective of a steady rebounding of the recessionary economy as companies refocused on their sourcing strategies and consider ways to optimize their existing sourcing portfolios."
Everest Group's quarterly Market Vista reports provide data and analysis of deal trends in the outsourcing and offshoring market, captive landscape, current and emerging locations and key supplier intelligence insights. Everest Group's industry trends research complements the Market Vista reports through quarterly updates focused on industry specific global sourcing data, developments and insights across four industries (BFSI, MDR, Healthcare and Energy and Utilities).
The Market Vista Q4 report also includes these focus sections:
Quarterly Market Vista reports comprise key developments among 20 leading global service providers. Traditional service provider profiles include Accenture, ACS Xerox, Atos Origin, Capgemini, Convergys, CSC, AON Hewitt, HP Enterprise Services, IBM, Dell Services and Unisys. Offshore-centric supplier profiles include Cognizant, EXL, Genpact, HCL, Infosys, Mahindra Satyam, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro and WNS.

Tesla: Factory on track for 2012 Model S launch
SAN JOSE, Calif. — At Tesla Motors Inc.'s first annual shareholders meeting since going public last July, Tesla CEO Elon Musk provided a vision of using the full capacity of the former New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. plant it acquired from Toyota.
He also discussed a string of electric vehicles and the possibility of a chain of company-owned charging stations and battery-swap facilities.
At the hour-long meeting today (June 1), Musk detailed Tesla's progress with the former NUMMI plant. The latest milestone: completing an eight-month installation of a $50 million Schuler SMG hydraulic stamping press that Tesla acquired from "a company in Detroit" for $6 million, including the cost of shipping the tooling with 70 trucks. Musk called it, "the largest hydraulic stamping press in North America."
Musk described the former NUMMI plant, which was valued at $1 billion before Tesla acquired it for $42 million, as "an alien dreadnought." He said Tesla plans to use the plant's 500,000-unit annual capacity in the long term.
Nearer term, Tesla plans to start building production prototypes of the Model S sedan in the third quarter. The Model S is to have zero-to-60 mph acceleration in six seconds and a range of up to 300 miles. The car is still on target for a mid-2012 retail launch.
4,600 Model S reservations
Producing the Model S will require a $500 million investment. Its platform-sharing Model X crossover, scheduled to go on sale at the end of 2013, will require just $150 million because of substantial parts commonality.
The company has 4,600 reservations for the Model S, which will satisfy the first year of production. The Model S and Model X eventually are expected to sell about 20,000 units a year, with a price starting around $50,000.
Longer term, Musk said a Tesla-built, second-generation Roadster could arrive in three years. The current Roadster is going out of production because Lotus' assembly line — which makes gliders, or partly assembled vehicles, for Tesla — is undergoing a major renovation and will be unable to continue building for Tesla, he said.
Musk said he expects a production launch of a so-called Gen III vehicle, to sell for about $30,000, in the next four to five years.
Regarding charging stations, Musk said that Tesla vehicles' extended range means that the company could cover cross-country drives with 13 charging stations. He said eight to 10 stations on each seaboard could cover the U.S. coasts. At an expected investment of about $25,000 per station, "for a couple million dollars you have covered the country," Musk said.
Secondary offering
Musk also gave assurance that he will remain a committed investor in the company. With Tesla's secondary public offering, Musk expects to own more shares than he sold after the initial public offering.
"I am in the same boat as many investors," Musk said, joking, "I had to sell during the IPO because I didn't have any money."
Musk, the co-founder of PayPal, has invested tens of millions of his own money in Tesla, as well as in his fledgling rocket company, Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX.
Musk also is reassured that among Tesla's key alliance partners, neither Daimler, Toyota nor Panasonic has sold a share of Tesla stock. Daimler has committed to invest in the secondary offering, Musk said.
Tesla's share price rose to the $34 range in December from an IPO price of $15 in July, before dipping to $22 earlier this year. It currently trades at about $30.

Money, Money, Money
With breakout dorm-room successes like Thalmic Labs and BufferBox, entrepreneurship has exponentially spread in popularity especially among the student demographic. In conjunction with the decrease in the amount of capital needed to start a company, it has never been a more perfect time to take the leap of faith. But, in order to get started you need some cash.
In the past few years, the landscape for early-stage financing has dramatically changed with more angel investors, an influx of accelerators and an uproar of disruptive funding platforms like AngelList. From friends and family to super angels to late-stage venture capital firms, you may be an entrepreneur from the Laurier LaunchPad or the VeloCity Garage and are a little confused as how these financiers differ from one another and how you should be spending their dollars. The following will hopefully give you a better idea of the current landscape of financing, what's expected of you as an entrepreneur, and where your company fits.
The first round of funding is typically called the love-money round and usually consists of friends, family and government money. The average cheque size ranges from $1 – $100K. The capital will primarily be used to get your company off the ground – start building product, conduct market research, and validate your concept. Your goal for this round of financing is to keep iterating and innovating on your idea until you find product-market fit. In other words, you are trying to build something that solves a problem, someone uses and is willing to pay for at some point. Think of it like an activation and retention exercise.
One of the more disruptive concepts for funding in this stage is crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter and indiegogo. These platforms allow any individual to donate a sum of money to support initiatives that they are interested in. It allows you as an entrepreneur to validate and sell your concept to potential customers before exerting large amounts of capital and time for building the project. According to TechCrunch, Thalmic Labs was able to sell over 30,000 preorders on Kickstarter before even sending one MYO out the door.
Sources: AngelList.co, Friends & Family, Government funding, Accelerators, Crowdfunding.
The seed round of investment is for early-stage companies who have proved that they have developed a product or service that a customer cares about, comes back to and is willing to pay for. They have validated their product-market fit, have a few customers on-board, and need capital to fund their go-to-market strategy. The average cheque size is about $100K – $1M.
As an entrepreneur, your job is to test different marketing and distribution channels. You should be hammering down your customer acquisition costs and figure out which channels are the most profitable and scalable for your company. A common buzzword used in the space is called growth hacking; analytically-driven, numbers focused marketing with the intention of optimizing the customer funnel and conversion metrics. For those who are familiar with Dave McClure, founder of Silicon Valley accelerator & seed fund 500startups, your focus should be on AARRR (acquisition, activation, retention, referral, revenue). For those unfamiliar, I advise you to check out his presentation on Startup Metrics for Pirates.
One key differentiator from the first round of financing is that the seed round is typically your first intake of institutional capital. If a venture capital fund invests in your company, the general partner who invests is investing on behalf of the firm's limited partners (those who invested in the fund). Therefore, his/her goal is to provide a high return to his/her investors.
As an entrepreneur, it's important that your goals are aligned with your investors expectations. I've heard horror stories where companies raised money from venture firms and the company wanted to exit at a ~$100M valuation. However, the firm would not allow the company to do so because they were going for a home run IPO-type return. In the end, the company failed as the founder's heart wasn't in it to take the company public. The moral is to ensure you have honest discussion with your investors to discuss your exit strategy and return goals.
Sources: AngelList Syndicates, Accelerators, Angel Groups, Micro/Small Cap-VC Funds.
Congratulations! You've made it to the next round of funding and beat the controversial "Series A Crunch". Now you're really off to the races. You have a validated product or service, you've figured out the economics of your business and now it's time to grow and scale. The average cheque size in this round ranges from $1M – $10M. This level of capital is predominantly used to maximize your growth and start growing revenue. Your goal at this point should be to position your company to a point of profitability and sustainability.

There is always something a bit special about a Mercedes with an AMG badge. And with the normal S-Class Coupe being such an impressive starting point, the Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe promises even greater things.
It features a range of chassis upgrades, styling tweaks and, most important of all, a hand-built 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8 which produces 576bhp and is (supposedly) good for 0-62mph in just 4.3 seconds. Good luck getting anywhere near this time in reality though – the tyre shredding 900Nm of torque available from 2,250rpm means the traction control usually intervenes whenever you try to make a launch.
This is less of a problem with the all-wheel-drive version of the car our European cousins get, which can do the sprint to 62mph in just 3.9 seconds. Sadly Mercedes won't make the 4MATIC version in right-hand drive for 'engineering reasons'! This rather ironic coming from a firm has managed to engineer the S-Class Coupe to lean into a corner like a motorcycle – something no other production car can do...
Know as curve tilt function, as with the S500, it's an option on the S63 and an extension of the Magic Body Control, which uses cameras to scan the road ahead and prepare the suspension to deliver the smoothest ride possible. Of course, the AMG gets specific settings for its adaptive suspension, though this delivers mixed results.
In sport mode there is noticeably less roll through corners. But while the S63 does steer and handle very well for a big car, the firmer ride means that bumps which you'd never normally notice are now perceptible – so you soon switch back to comfort.
Then there's the gearbox. AMG has reworked the software for its seven-speed SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission to deliver quicker changes, and, yes, they are fast. However, the gearbox isn't faultless. It isn't always totally silky smooth when pulling away and then occasionally it hesitates on up shifts when you rev the engine out.
These are minor complaints because the S63 is still a lovely thing to drive, and absurdly fast when the road opens up, but weighing in at two tons means that the S63 is still more of a cruiser than a sports car. And really the difference between the way this AMG feels compared the normal S500 isn't as noticeable as it is with models further down the Mercedes range.
Maybe the S-Class Coupe's plush ride and incredible quietness make it harder to appreciate the extra 108bhp over the normal S500 which feels easily fast enough and sounds almost as good as the AMG too. What is more noticeable though are the styling changes.
With its AMG outfit on the S-Coupe looks even more enticing than ever. But then you can get an AMG styling kit for the normal car and then spend the rest of the £25,000 you'll save by going for the S500 on options, such as the Magic Body Control and curve tilt function, which really compliment the S-Coupes relaxed and effortless character.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Changes in cabin pressure during flights may cause insulin pumps to deliver too much or too little of the medication -- possibly putting sensitive diabetics at risk, researchers report.
They recommend disconnecting the pump before take-off and after landing and making sure there are no air bubbles in the insulin before reconnecting it. But an outside researcher said the concern might only apply to some diabetic patients.
People who are worried should talk with their doctors about the safest way to fly before trying to fiddle with the pumps themselves, he cautioned.

Soha Ali Khan is not waiting for Saif-Kareena to marry
Rumours stating that Soha and Kunal are waiting for Kareena and Saif to wed have been doing the rounds for some time now. When asked, Soha replied that though she and Kunal have never made any statement regarding their marriage date, people continue to speculate.
Further, Soha said that if she wanted to marry, she wouldn't have to stand in queue and wait.
Some time back, there was a rumour that Soha Ali Khan is living in with Kunal and her mother Sharmila Tagore has gifted the duo an apartment as marriage gift. It was being speculated that Kunal and Soha would move in to their new flat after wedding. However, Soha Ali Khan has rubbished all such rumours.
