1. Field of the Invention
The field of the invention relates to electro-optical readers or scanning systems, such as bar code symbol readers, and more particularly to positioning of photodetectors or optical collection assemblies used in a scanning module to reduce specular reflection.
2. Description of the Related Art
Electro-optical readers, such as bar code symbol readers, are now very common. Typically, a bar code symbol comprises one or more rows of light and dark regions, typically in the form of rectangles. The widths of the dark regions, i.e., the bars and/or the widths of the light regions, i.e., the spaces, between the bars encode information in the symbol.
A bar code symbol reader illuminates the symbol and senses light reflected from the regions of differing light reflectivity to detect the relative widths and spacings of the regions and derive the encoded information. Bar code reading type data input systems improve the efficiency and accuracy-of data input for a wide variety of applications. The ease of data input in such systems facilitates more frequent and detailed data input, for example to provide efficient inventories, tracking of work in progress, etc. To achieve these advantages, however, users or employees must be willing to consistently use the readers. The readers therefore must be easy and convenient to operate.
A variety of scanning systems is known. One particularly advantageous type of reader is an optical scanner which scans a beam of light, such as a laser beam, across the symbols. Laser scanner systems and components of the type exemplified by U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,387,297 and 4,760,248, which are owned by the assignee of the instant invention and are incorporated by reference herein, have generally been designed to read indicia having parts of different light reflectivity, i.e., bar code symbols, particularly of the Universal Product Code (UPC) type, at a certain working range or reading distance from a hand-held or stationary scanner.
In the laser beam scanning systems known in the art, a single laser light beam from a light source is directed by a lens or other optical components along a light path toward a target that includes a bar code symbol on a target surface. The moving-beam scanner operates by repetitively scanning the light beam in a line or series of lines across the symbol by means of motion of a scanning component, such as the light source itself or a mirror disposed in the path of the light beam. The scanning component may either sweep the beam spot across the symbol and trace a scan line across the symbol, or scan the field of view of a sensor of the scanner, or do both. The laser beam may be moved by optical or opto-mechanical means to produce a scanning light beam. Such action may be performed by either deflecting the beam (such as by a moving optical element, such as a mirror) or moving the light source itself. U.S. Pat. No. 5,486,944 describes a scanning module in which a mirror is mounted on a flex element for reciprocal oscillation by electromagnetic actuation. U.S. Pat. No. 5,144,120 to Krichever et al. describes laser, optical and sensor components mounted on a drive for repetitive reciprocating motion either about an axis or in a plane to effect scanning of the laser beam.
Another type of bar code scanner employs electronic means for causing the light beam to be deflected and thereby scan a bar code symbol, rather than using a mechanical motion to move or deflect the beam. For example, a linear array of closely spaced light sources activated one at a time in a regular sequence may be transmitted to the bar code symbol to simulate a scanned beam from a single source. Instead of a single linear array of light sources, a multiple-line array may also be employed, thereby producing multiple scan lines. Such type of bar code reader is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,258,605 to Metlitsky et al.
Bar code reading systems also include a sensor or photodetector which detects light reflected or scattered from the symbol. The photodetector or sensor is positioned in the scanner in an optical path so that it has a field of view which ensures the capture of a portion of the light which is reflected or scattered off the symbol, detected, and converted into an electrical signal. Different photodiode arrangements are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,635,700; 5,682,029; and 6,213,399.
In retroreflective light collection, a single optical component, e.g., a reciprocally oscillatory mirror, such as described by Krichever et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,661 or by Shepard et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,409,470, both herein incorporated by reference, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,114,712, scans the beam across a target surface and directs the collected light to a detector. The mirror surface usually is relatively large to receive as much incoming light as is possible. Only a small detector is required since the mirror can focus the light onto a small detector surface, which increases signal-to-noise ratio.
Of course, small scan elements are preferable because of the reduced energy consumption and increased frequency response. When the scan element becomes sufficiently small, however, the area of the scanning mirror can no longer be used as the aperture for the received light. One solution is to use a staring detection system (a non-retroreflective system) which receives a light signal from the entire field which the scanned laser spot covers.
In non-retroreflective light collection, the reflected laser light is not collected by the same optical component used for scanning. Instead, the detector is independent of the scanning beam, and is typically constructed to have a large field of view so that the reflected laser light traces across the surface of the detector. Because the scanning optical component, such as a rotating mirror, need only handle the outgoing light beam, it can be made much smaller. On the other hand, the detector must be relatively large in order to receive the incoming light beam from all locations in the scanned field.
Electronic circuitry and software decode the electrical signal into a digital representation of the data represented by the symbol that has been scanned. For example, the analog electrical signal generated by the photodetector may be converted by a digitizer into a pulse width modulated digitized signal, with the widths corresponding to the physical widths of the bars and spaces. Alternatively, the analog electrical signal may be processed directly by a software decoder. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,504,318.
The decoding process of bar code reading systems usually works in the following way. The analog signal from the sensor or photodetector may initially be filtered and processed by circuitry and/or software to remove noise, adjust the dynamic range, or compensate for signal non-uniformities. Samples may then be taken of the analog signal, and applied to an analog-to-digital converter to convert the samples to digital data. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,170,749, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Alternatively, analog circuitry may be used to digitize the shape of the signal.
A variety of mirror and motor configurations can be used to move the beam in a desired scanning pattern. A scanner which produces an elongated scan line is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,621,203. U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,798 discloses a rotating polygon having a planar mirror at each side, each mirror tracing a scan line across the symbol. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,387,297 and 4,409,470 both employ a planar mirror which is repetitively and reciprocally driven-in-alternate circumferential directions about a drive shaft on which the mirror is mounted. U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,660 discloses a multi-mirror construction composed of a generally concave mirror portion and a generally planar mirror portion. The multi-mirror construction is repetitively reciprocally driven in alternate circumferential directions about a drive shaft on which the multi-mirror construction is mounted. U.S. Pat. No. 6,247,647 describes an arrangement for providing either a multiple line, or single line, scan pattern by means of a controller. All of the above-mentioned U.S. patents are incorporated herein by reference.
In electro-optical scanners of the type discussed above, the implementation of the laser source, the optics, the mirror structure, the drive to oscillate the mirror structure, the photodetector, and the associated signal processing and decoding circuitry as individual components all add size and weight to the scanner. In applications involving protracted use, a large, heavy scanner can produce user fatigue. When use of the scanner produces fatigue or is in some other way inconvenient, the user is reluctant to operate the scanner. Any reluctance to consistently use the scanner defeats the data gathering purposes for which such bar code systems are intended. Also, a need exists for an interchangeable, compact, slim module able to fit into small compact devices, such as notebooks, portable digital assistants, pagers, cell phones, and other pocket appliances.
Thus, an ongoing objective of bar code reader development is to miniaturize the reader as much as possible, and a need still exists to further reduce the size and weight of the scan module and to provide suitable collection optics in a relatively thin or flat scan module, so that the single scan line can be elongated close to the reader and still enable a symbol to be read.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pair of detectors for use in a bar code reader capable of emitting an elongated scan line close to the module.
It is another object of the invention to provide a module with dual, spaced apart detectors having different orientations and fields of view to minimize the effects of specular reflection.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a collection optic arrangement for use in non-retroreflective scan modules with multiple photodetectors.
Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure, including the following detailed description, as well as by practice of the invention. While the invention is described below with reference to preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. Those of ordinary skill in the art having access to the teachings herein will recognize additional applications, modifications and embodiments in other fields, which are within the scope of the invention as disclosed and claimed herein and with respect to which invention could be of significant utility.
Briefly, and in general terms, the present invention provides an optical scan module having a base; a light source mounted on the base for emitting a light beam; a scanning assembly for receiving the light beam and for generating therefrom a scanning beam directed to an indicia to be read for reflection therefrom; first and second spaced apart detectors receiving the reflected light represented by the indicia, with each detector having a different orientation and field of view; and means for selectively acquiring the signal from either the first or the second detector and applying such signal to a decoder.
The invention further provides an arrangement for uniformly collecting light over a scan line swept over a symbol to be electro-optically read, with a pair of photodetectors spaced apart of each other and having fields of view that overlap each other at a working distance in which the symbol is located; and means for analyzing the signal from each photodetector and selecting one of the photodetectors for providing a signal to the decoder.
The novel features which are considered as characteristic of the invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to bar code readers of the type generally described in the above identified patents and patent applications for reading bar code symbols. As used in this specification and the claims, the term "bar code symbol" is intended to be broadly construed and to cover not only symbol patterns composed of alternating bars and spaces, but also other graphic patterns, such as dot or matrix array pattern, and, in short, indicia having portions of different light reflectivity or surface characteristics that results in contrasting detected signal characteristics that can be used for encoding information and can be read and decoded with the type of apparatus disclosed herein.
As a preferred embodiment, we describe the implementation of the collection optics of the present invention in a laser scanning, bar code reading module similar to the module illustrated in FIG. 1. The modular device of FIG. 1 is generally of the style disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,367,151, issued to Dvorkis et al., assigned to Symbol Technologies, Inc. and hereby incorporated by reference herein, and also similar to the configuration of a bar code reader commercially available as part number SE 1000 or SE 1200 from Symbol Technologies, Inc. of Holtsville, N.Y. Alternatively, or in addition, features of U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,387,297 and 4,760,248 issued to Swartz et al., or U.S. Pat. No. 4,409,470 issued to Shepard et al., both such patents being assigned to Symbol Technologies, Inc., may be employed in constructing the bar code reader module of FIG. 1. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,760,248, 4,387,297 and 4,409,470 are incorporated herein by reference.
The module 200 shown in FIG. 1 is formed from an integral frame or assembly 201 which is generally a rectangular parallelepiped in shape, having a front wall side 202, side walls 203 and 204, preferably an open top surface 205 over which a laser beam 206 is scanned along a scanning path 216, and a bottom surface (not shown) enclosed by a printed circuit board (PCB) 207 on which electrical components may be mounted. A laser diode assembly 208 is mounted on the frame 201 for producing a light beam 209, which is emitted through aperture 210 in the laser diode assembly. The lightbeam 209 is directed to the scanning mirror 211 from which it is reflected and scanned along path 212 to the fold mirror 213 (only the edge of which is seen) which is mounted on the front wall 202 of the assembly. The beam is then reflected from fold mirror 213 along path 214 to the fold mirror 215. The beam is then reflected from mirror 215 and directed along path 206 over the top surface 205 and exteriorly of the module 200 in the direction of a target, typically a bar code symbol 228 (See FIG. 2).
Light is scattered or reflected from the symbol to a pair of optical collection lenses 217 and 218 behind which are a pair of photodetectors. The front surfaces of such lenses, according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, are cylindrical, with an axis not parallel to the scan line otherwise they would have the same orientation. (see FIG. 1)
FIG. 1 also depicts a drive coil 220 and moving mirror assembly 219 which supports the mirror 211 and moves in response to current changes in the drive coil 220.
The laser diode assembly 208 may be operated in a continuous "constant power" mode, pulsed, or modulated with different power levels, depending on the specific application. It is also known to provide circuitry to maintain the laser diode at a predetermined output power level using a closed-loop feedback circuit using a monitor photodiode associated with the diode.
The optical subassembly associated with the laser diode assembly 208 may include a focusing lens and/or aperture stop of the following lens types, depending on the application: spherically symmetric glass or plastic lenses; asspheric glass or plastic lenses, rotationally symmetric as well as non-rotationally symmetric around the optical axis, such as cylindrical optical elements as well as including gradient index lenses, Fresnel lenses, binary optical lenses, or multi-level binary optical lenses; lens systems where the lens diameter itself acts as a functional aperture stop for the system; or holographic optical elements, including, but not restricted to, Fresnel "zone plate" optics.
Turning next to another embodiment, shown in FIG. 2 from a different perspective, the laser beam is directed to an optical element 211, such as a planar mirror, which is moved so as to cause the beam to be deflected into a scanning beam 216 which is directed exteriorly of the module 200 towards a target plane. The beam 216 is focused by the optical subassembly to form a spot on the target plane which moves along a scanning path across and through the bars of the bar code symbol 228 on the target plane as the mirror 211 moves.
The optical element 211 is mounted on the moving mirror assembly 219 which is caused to oscillate when alternating current is introduced in the coil 220. The oscillation results in a movement of the clement 211 through an arc about a pivot axis.
The scanning mirror 211 is mounted for oscillation about an axis, this being achieved by virtue of the interaction between a permanent magnet 221 and a driven electromagnetic coil 220. A suitable driving signal is applied to the coil, via the PCB 207 and coil electrical contacts.
The scanner motor drive shown in the figures is exemplary, and may be replaced with any type of mechanism for effecting a scanning motion of the laser beam in one or two dimensions. For example, the scanner motor drive could comprise any of the configurations disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,581,067 and 5,367,151, both of which are herein incorporated by reference. In this way, the optics assembly may be used as a component in a variety of scanner designs.
The light reflected from the symbol is received by the photodetectors 224 a, 224 b, 225 a and 225 b which are illustrated as discrete devices mounted behind the collection lenses 222.
The subassembly or device of FIG. 1 may be implemented in any type of bar code reader, fixed or portable.
The photodetector output signal from the four photodetectors is then passed on to suitable electronics within a PCB 226 by an electrical coupling.
Although a light masking aperture may be used in front of each photodetector for increasing the depth of focus of the photodetector, the same effect can be achieved without an aperture by appropriately specifying the area of the photodetector itself.
In another preferred embodiment, the type of motor drive used to oscillate the scan mirror can be a Mylar (trademark) leaf spring supporting an unbalanced mirror assembly. The mirror assembly is mounted to a Mylar leaf spring which flexes as the permanent magnet is driven by the AC coil imparting an oscillating force.
Yet a further alternative is a "micro-machined" mirror assembly as discussed in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 08/506,574 and 08/631,364 according to which the mirror is driven back and forth directly by a suitable drive motor, preferably of very small dimension. Yet a further alternative is to use a mirror of known rotating polygon type as discussed in the introduction in relation to U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,798 according to which the mirror comprises a solid body having a plurality of faces angled to one another. As the body rotates, the beam is scanned by successive rotating faces of the polygon body. In one embodiment, the Mylar motor can be used in an arrangement for onedimensional scanning while-a V-shaped taut band element can be used for two-dimensional scanning.
The preferred laser is a semiconductor laser mounted by conventional through-hole techniques on the PCB. The photodiode is preferably an SMD ("surface mounted device") device as is the AC coil for the Mylar leaf spring motor. This eliminates the need for standoffs and hand-soldering or sockets, as are used on prior art scanners. Typically, the laser will be a standard packaged edge-emitting laser. For minimum cost, the laser focusing is not adjustable, and the laser is simply installed with its mounting flange in contact with a shoulder molded as part of a molded member. This will position the laser accurately enough with respect to a molded focusing lens to provide adequate performance within an inexpensive scanner. The fact that the focusing lens is molded as part of the same component as the shoulder minimizes tolerance build-ups that could otherwise cause improper focusing.
The collector optics 217, 218 may be coated with a reflective coating so that light impinging upon it will be reflected toward the photodetector. This coating may also cover that part of the molded member that serves as a housing for the photodiodes. This will render the optics assembly opaque in that area to prevent any light from reaching the photodiode except via an aperture and a filter placed in front of each photodiode.
This reflective coating may also serve another function. Typically, the coating will be a thin film of metal such as gold, aluminum or chrome. These films are electrically conductive. Accordingly, the film also acts as an electromagnetic interference shield for the photodiodes. The use of a surface coating to protect the photodiodes enables the usual EMI shield to be dispensed with, thereby eliminating both the cost of a separate shield and the labor to have it installed within the assembly. The coating is electrically grounded.
The use of an unbalanced mirror, i.e., one in which no counterweights are provided in the mirror assembly 219, is particularly suitable in implementations in which the mirror is driven at a speed of greater than 100 scans per second. With an unbalanced mirror, since the attachment points of the mirror to the flexible springs is not the center of mass of the mirror assembly, while the mirror is at rest, gravity will exert a relatively greater force on the side of the mirror assembly having the greater mass, causing the mirror to "droop" on its heavier side and pull on the flexible springs. Of course, the effect of such force depends on the orientation of the scanner with respect to the force vector of gravity. The same "drooping" effect is present when the mirror is scanning at relatively low speeds. Hence, in such applications, the use of a balanced mirror would be preferred. A balanced mirror, however, requires additional mass be added to the mirror, or mirror assembly, which is a drawback in terms of operating design weight and the power requirements.
In the embodiment of high speed operation (i.e., at more than 100 scans per second), the material composition, size, shape and thickness of the springs may be appropriately selected to achieve the desired resonant frequency. For example, for operation at approximately 200 scans/second, the selection of a Mylar spring with a thickness of 4 mils is appropriate. For operation at 400 scans/second, a stainless steel spring with a thickness of about 3 mils is preferred.
Typically, the intensity of the collected reflected light signal from the middle portion of the scan line is much higher than the reflected light signal collected from the ends of the scan line when using a conventional single collection lens design in front of the photodetector. One embodiment of the present invention is to use a lens array(s). The lens array may have two or more collection lenses. Each individual lens of the array collects a reflected light signal from a particular portion of the scan line. The field of view (FOV) of each lens may overlap. The size of each lens and orientation may be optimized in such a way as to provide desired signal intensity uniformity along the scan line.
A specular reflection of laser light generally will prevent proper operation of a bar code reader if no provision has been made to eliminate it's influence such as the use of a polarizing filter. This invention eliminates the influence of the specular reflection by multiplexing the input source and providing a spatial arrangement of dual collection system such that the specular reflection is outside the field of view of the detector then being used for reading.
FIG. 3(a) is a top plan view of the detector arrangement according to the prior art; FIG. 3(b) is a perspective view of the detector arrangement of FIG. 3(a);
FIG. 4(a) is a top plan view of the detector arrangement according to the present invention; FIG. 4(b) is a perspective view of the detector arrangement of FIG. 4(a).
FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) show a non-retro-reflective bar code reader with a prior art dual detector optical collection system. Generally this dual detector system is normally used to provide uniform light collection with respect to the scan angle and therefore the electric current output from both detectors are added. The Figures show the laser beam at the specular angle of photodetector PD #1. Since point X(see FIG. 3a) is out of the field of view of photodetector PD #2, no useful signal is received and the reflected light from the bar code symbol will not be detected unless the pitch of the bar code with respect to the scanning beam is greater than approximately five degrees.
FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) show a non-retro reflective bar code reader according to the present invention where the orientation and field of view of the detectors are such that the specular reflection is outside the field of view of the detector used for light collection. In other words, detector PD #1 collects light when the laser beam is scanning on the side labeled P2, and detector PD #2 collects light when the beam is on the side labeled P1. Note that the reflection from symbol at the specular angle (shown by the dotted reflected light line) hits PD #1. The electronics as shown in FIG. 5 must provide a means for alternatingly selecting the detectors to use for reading, since they cannot be added or the specular reflection immunity will be lost.
There will be a greater non-uniformity of light collection with respect to scan angle with this collection system that would need to be corrected through other means. Since the primary application for this invention is contact bar code readers, the overall reduced collection efficiency should not result in serious degradation of performance.
As a result, the strength of the collected light signal from the signals received from the ends of the scan line are effectively increased, while the signal received from the middle is reduced.
FIG. 5 is a highly simplified block diagram of a circuit processing signals from photodiodes PD #1 and PD #2 according to the present invention. The two signals are applied to a multiplexer 501, which is controlled by a motor drive angular position control unit 502. The appropriate photodiode, PD #1 or PD #2, is selected on the basis of the control signal, and the photodiode signal is the applied to the digitizer/decoder; 502.
In addition to the preferred embodiment in which the photodetection is selected as an automatic result of the direction of the outgoing scanning beam, as determined by the angular position control unit 502, adaptive techniques may be utilized. For example, both signal lines may be monitored, and when an unusually high peak signal occurs on one line, but not the other, it may be assumed that the peak signal is a specular reflection, and that the associated signal should therefore be disregarded and the other signal line used for determining the data signal.
Hence, in accordance with this invention, a relatively long scan line is generated closely adjacent the reader, and a symbol swept by such a scan line is read without requiring complex electronics to condition and process the return signal whose amplitude would otherwise vary unacceptably.
It will be understood that each of the features described above, or two or more together, may find a useful application in other types of scanners and bar code readers differing from the types described above.
While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in the collection optics for a scan module for an electro-optical scanner, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In particular, it will be recognized that features described in relation to one embodiment can be incorporated into other embodiments as appropriate in a manner that will be apparent to the skilled reader.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention and, therefore, such adaptations should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalence of the following claims.
What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by letters patent is set forth in the appended claims.

California Index of Child and Youth Well Being
An index of child well-being is a summary measure of the status of children that provides insight into how child well-being has evolved over time. The index is constructed by aggregating results from a set of specific indicators of children's status. For decades, indices have been instrumental in monitoring economic trends (e.g., the Dow Jones Average, the Consumer Price Index). More recently, indices that measure quality of life have been developed, including by Duke professor Kenneth Land and associates, who created the national Child Youth and Well-Being Index (CWI) to track changes in some 28 indicators in the quality of life for U.S. children.

From The Telegraph and the Daily Mail
Gunmen on motorbikes shot dead five female Pakistani polio vaccination workers on Tuesday, police said, highlighting resistance to the country's immunisation campaign.
Four were killed in three different incidents in the sprawling port city and the fifth in the northwestern city of Peshawar, on the second day of a nationwide three-day drive against the disease, which is endemic in Pakistan.
Sagheer Ahmed, the health minister for Sindh province, of which Karachi is capital, said he had ordered a halt to the anti-polio drive in the city in the wake of the shootings. Senior Karachi police officer Shahid Hayat said another polio worker was shot dead in the city on Monday, but the circumstances of his death only became clear on Tuesday.
In Peshawar, which lies close to the restive tribal areas, a haven for militants and hotspot for polio, two attackers on a motorbike fired on two sisters working on vaccination, killing one. The Taliban have banned immunisations in the northwest, condemning the campaign as a cover for espionage
Tuesday's killings in Karachi took place in parts of the city dominated by Pashtuns, Hayat said. Pashtuns are the dominant ethnic group in northwest Pakistan and have a sizeable migrant population in Karachi.

My Lords, it is an honour to contribute to my first Queen's Speech debate. I start by saying how much I appreciated and was content with the contribution made by the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Newcastle in her maiden speech. I know just how difficult I found my speech to make back in January. Her speech was outstanding and shows what a contribution she will be able to make to...
My Lords, I support the amendment proposed by my noble friend, which has been supported also by the noble Lord, Lord Krebs, and my Labour colleague. There is absolutely no inconsistency with Conservative policy, or the Conservative Government's policy, in supporting this amendment. I remind the Minister that although the genesis of this measure lay with the preceding outgoing Labour...
My Lords, I should like to ask the Minister some questions about the application of this innocuous amendment, as he has described it. It is not that innocuous because it is a power to take over the local plan process and to state that a local authority must adopt the plan that has been prepared for it. To give the House a little background, in 2010 the information I was given as a Minister...

A facebook app similar to facebook-gallery-import http://www.pommepause.com/blog/2007/06/facebook-application-import-gallery-pictures-into-facebook/ (which is for Gallery2 and Gallery3 by Menalto) would be great! I am sure it should be possible to use the existing code and simply adjust it to the Nextgen system.

i have one category set up for splash/entry pages on a project.
the idea is to show one single random excerpt and nothing else on the index
so far it has been cake:
- i have the single cat,
- single post,
- nothing but excerpt
the part i am missing is the randomization
i tried this:
<?php shuffle(query_posts("showposts=1&cat=1")); ?>
i thought the shuffle function would randomize the query and it would pull the "top" of the randomized group. no dice. (thanks to whoami for the shuffle tidbit)
i spent a good 3 hours searching on here, googling and trying to figure this out myself.. but i am throwing in the towel and groveling for your mercy /sadface
any help would be greatly appreciated

Well first off I never "hired" anyone. Fortunately even though I tried to sell the program to them and get them on as individuals no one bought on. AND IM GLAD. bc now that I know the truth about the company, I would feel horrible if I had actually gotten someone else wrapped up in this.
OK so on to the pay issue. I enrolled my mom in the benefits program and it does save her money every month. However the check they sent me in the mail for my 55 for signing her up BOUNCED the refund on my enrollment fees BOUNCED i called my manager to cancel working for them and she gladly helped me do so, but when I told her bout the checks she helped me the first time giving me a number that I called spoke to someone in the main office and all he said is that he'd send out two new checks and add on the fee I had to pay my bank for the checks bouncing.
WELL THE NEW CHECKS HE SENT WONT CLEAR EITHER. Instead of depositing them this time and gettin stuck w the fees if it bounce i tried cashing them as numerous cash locations (banks, quick cash locations, etc.) and NO ONE could cash them. I even called the bank it was drawn off of. At first they would not tell me anything they told me to bring it in, until i explained im in VA and the closest of those banks were in IL. They then told me the account had been OVERDRAWN FOR QUITE SOME TIME and it would not clear!
so for 2 weeks i worked for this company 6 hrs a day using my time and electricity and phone for NOTHING! and still cant get compensated for it bc all they do is send out bad checks! if u havent already signed up w them STAY FAR FAR AWAY! if u have, well, get out quickly before u get scammed too. i just wish there was some way we could all get our money back ad shut these people down! they are getting rich off of our hard work!

This is My Blog were I'm showcasing my photographs and sightings of wildlife from different Nature Walks near where I live.
It's nice to record the wildlife that I see at a Nature Reserve called Mere Sands Wood in Rufford Lancashire UK. Some of the photos I do take from here are then showcased on Flickr in my Photostream [link moderated] for other people to see. Hopefully this will create interest and the result would be more visitors to Mere Sands Wood.
For the moment I'm using Twenty Eleven theme and styled it a bit, don't really like all the white space it comes with so looking for a suitable theme, any ideas welcome.

Do you Know how Many Scholarships are Available?
Most athletes grow up with visions of a "full scholarship." Unfortunately, that type of scholarship opportunity is only available to a small percentage of the athletes who will play collegiate athletics.
Do you know how many scholarships are available at each division level for your sport?
Click here to download a quick guide of scholarship opportunities at each sport broken down by division.
As always, we encourage you to pass this along to anyone you think might find it helpful!
P.S. When reading the chart, keep in mind how many athletes are on each team. Are there enough "full rides" to go around?

I understand that scholarship are available for Men's soccer.I would like to get scholarship for Men's soccer in you're College.My qulification match with the soocer game in my position as the right wing.I played in school team for 4 years.But l did't have any one to push me foward in order to grade my talent. l would like to say that if l will get this scholarship, l think l will accomplish my dream as to become proffesional player.So, it my hope that you would consider as the part of scholarship for Men's soccer.
How can I get in contact with you coach
hey my name ousmane …soccer is my life ….my school didnt have a soccer team …but i have the skill to be a pro soccer player ….with a help to go to a great college will help me accomplish my dream
Is it possible to get recruited as a transfer student?
i love soccer
Coach Taylor, regarding the numbers listed in the table, is that per class or per program total? Secondly, how many Div. I, Div IAA, etc. schools are there. I understand that the numbers on the table are the maximum allowed per sport and that schools can offer fewer scholarships than the numbers posted in the table. Thanks for the information.
I have written to you people many times but i find no courage from you. I have been studying on soccerscholarships here in Uganda but now nobody can help me continue with my studies.
Just help me what can i do in order to join you people so that i can archive my dream of playing football as a professional.
Chaart incorrect re Women's Soccer Div. II
The first things any school looks at before they ever consider your talent are your grades and your test scores. If you cannot write in complete sentences with proper grammar and correct spelling, you need to think about a future outside of college athletics. If you are the greatest soccer player in your state but read at a 6th grade level with SAT scores in the 800′s, there are plenty of fast food restaurants who would love to give you a paid education in thier kitchen. Study hard, get great grades and score high on your SAT's and maybe you will get INTO college first, then you can talk about your scholarship. Remember the word is "scholarship" not "talent". You need both in todays environment to get any type of financial aid at any type of college or university…if you cant make the grades…well…that's what JUCO is for.
Hey! i was just concerning about basketball, because i want a great opportunity to have a great carrier. I also, would like to talk to a basketball coach so i can really talk personal. So thanks for sending me a response back.
Hi, my name is mohammed and i am really good at football. I hope to play with one of the best teams, that's why i wanted your guys help. PLEASE!!!!!!!
to get to my dreame
Hey there , my name is javier cervantes jr im a point guard who really wants a chance to prove himself up agianst the big boys and i now that i have the talent to play college and go pro but need the help financially to accomplish my goals Thank You………………
Coach Taylor,
I am currently a two sport athelete. football and baseball. my question is , should I concentrate on one sport or continue to do both. I love both equally but being a LHP feel that my chances are better in baseball. as far as getting a scholarship, whats your oppinion ?
How do i get recruit for football?
This is my 12th year, in total, of playing softball,but I'm only playin J.V.
Will I still be looked at even if I'm not on Varsity?
Frank – The total scholarships available in the table is per program. Not per recruiting class.
Kevin – Keep playing both sports if you love them both. Getting a scholarship depends on a long list of factors. You should meet with a national scout who will be able to tell you the best way to go for scholarship money. Have your parents call 866-579-6272 to set that up.
Destiny – only 6 out of every 100 high school softball players get a chance to play in college. Do you think college coaches look at non-varsity players?
I am a uprising senior, I'm a student athlete and i have different colleges looking at me and i didnt recieve any scholarships yet so i want to accomplish this dream by asking you all for some help
how many of those 85 d1 football scholarships are full rides?
All 85 D1-A scholarships cover books, room & board, tuition, associated student fees for each year a player is on scholarship. All scholarships are reviewed and renewed on an annual basis. At the D1-AA, D2, NAIA, and Juco level, the athletic scholarships are not required to cover all expenses. At the D3 level, there are no athletic scholarships. There is, of course, financial aid at all of these levels tied to academics. So it's real important that a student-athlete earns the best grades they can. The higher their GPA the more academic money a college coach at D1-AA, D2, D3, and NAIA can find for that student-athlete.
I realized that most HBCUs in the two major conferences, MEAC, SWAC are Division 1AA in football and Division 1 in other sports, how many Division 1AA schools and are there with scholarships allotments the same as to the HBCUs.
Harold – There are a total of 118 D1-AA college football programs. Each school is allowed a maximum of 63 athletic scholarships for football. Not all schools provide athletic scholarships though. For example, the Ivy League plays at the D1-AA level but they offer zero in athletic scholarships. They do offer substantial financial aid. That aid is equal to all incoming students – not just student-athletes.
Hi my name is Agena I run track in shea high school I live in pawtucket . Am writing your because am really fast and I want to go to college but i cant afford it so I really need a scholarship please write me back
Agena – Have your parens/guardians call 866-579-6272 to schedule a meeting with a national scout track.
Keith – Your table for scholarships did not include women's crew. Any ideas on the totals because my daughter got into a very competitive school with her promise to row? The only thing is she has never rowed before and there was no mention of money, is there money out there for her second year?
Joyce – Every college has different funding "buckets". Since your daughter has been accepted to that school, now is the time for her to be asking the crew coach about funding student-athletes at her university. She can ask specific questions about where the funding comes from, if it's based on academics, what is already allocated for sophomore year, what kind of athletic and academic performance the coach is looking for, etc. If the university competes at the D3 level, there will be no athletic scholarship money available. Your daughter should also ask the coach who she works with in the financial aid department so she can ask those questions of that person also. I hope this helps. Congratulations to your daughter for being accept to that very competitive school.
please i rely need someone to advice me on how to get to talk with my coah
thanks .
hear from you soon
hi coach taylor my name is Victoria. I have been running track since i was in the 9th grade. I have made it to the mississippi state track meet every year in multiple events. I wanted to talk to you about scholarship offers even though i have been offered 2 of them. I am a graduate of 2010 also.could you please email me back at firstname.lastname@example.com
hi sir i will like to hear 4rm you soon
hi coach Taylor, I just want to know how can I get in to your swimming schoolarship. I will be in 9th great next year. I am a Fijian and I have been swimming for more than 3 years, and now I am starting to represent my country in competing overseas. I just came back from Samoa, we had a swimming Champ called OCEINIA, which include Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, etc…. and they did extremely well.. unlike us we don't have a qualify coach to coach us. We start form basic.. I believe that I can get more chance if I have the oppotunity to come an study and train in the USA…. I hope that you will have time to look at my request.
hi coach, my name is alex. i like to play soccer but there is not soccer team in my college.but i'm international student and then i'd like to transfert to another college who i could play soccer with a good team . i would like to know , if is it possible for international students to have scholarship with the soccer team? thank you to answer and God bless you
how to join the team?
My daughter has been asked by a Div I school to be on the roster for 2011. This is great because they are Champions of their Conference. The coach is new this year and claims to have no money to offer athletic scholorships for 2011, but she will have the opportunity to earn it for the next year. Is this common because of the economy? She really likes the coaches, team, and school and it offers the education she wants. It's a state school so tuition isn't as high and she's a good student so she will receive academic money, but she was really hoping to receive athletic money as well. Should we hold out for athletic scholorship? She's an above average player, but hasn't had all the advantages to play regional and national games. She's had several coaches she has been on the wrong teams, but just didn't want to move from her club coach. Can you please tell us realistically her chances of getting a full ride would be? She was wanting to hold out until after the tournaments in November and I feel like the Div. 1 at the school she wanted to go to won't wait that long for her decision.
If your daughter doesn't have any offers on the table right now from a DI school…the reality is: she's not going to get one. Matter of fact it sounds like she may be a walk-on/practice player there.
#1) Most DI schools already have their commitments for 2011 (called early signing period) which they will sign in late Oct early Nov.
#2) Full ride? no such thing! (go to ncaa.org and read what's being offered in a scholarship) Tution, room & board: for the 1st year and it can be taken away the next year. Hold out you can…maybe a DII school can make an offer late in the spring. Nothing wrong with DII or DIII schools!!!
#3) If shes happy then why hold out? It's all about where she feels happy.
Just trying to help. I see so many parents lost and perplexed about the process. It is a dirty game, and most think their child is a DI caliber athlete and don't understand the different levels (DII, DIII, NAIA etc.).
Thanks Vince for confirming what I was thinking!
website portal, also acknowledged as a back links web page, presents details from varied sources in a unified way.
My daughter is a Varsity Lacrosse player. Can you provide names of colleges that have D11 and D111 Lax not sure she would make a D1 school her GPA is a 3.0 but needs to work on SAT and ACT prep.
Why do you not include Rowinhg in your list of scholarship opportunities? With 20 D1 girls athletic scholarships offered it is second only to Football.
Is this referring to as you say "full ride" scholarship opportunities or all scholarships?
