Head Coach Pat Summitt and Assistant Coach Mickie DeMoss, who is also the recruiting coordinator, expressed gratitude that the three players stayed with their commitment.
"It tells you they really want to be here," Summitt said. "And we want them here. Obviously we're excited about all three."
Summitt revealed last August that she had been diagnosed with early onset dementia. Carter, a guard from Flowery Branch, Ga., reiterated her commitment via social media that same afternoon, before the Tennessee coaching staff had even had a chance to reach her yet.
Graves and Jones soon followed as all three players spoke to each other that day.
"I think it speaks volume to the kind of character that the three young ladies have," DeMoss said. "When Pat announced her diagnosis, they could have very well bailed on us.
"That was so important to us. That was the first phone calls we made to those young ladies and their parents. Pat got on the phone with them immediately and answered any and all questions."
Carter said the relationships she formed with the entire staff solidified her decision.
"I think it's a real genuine coach-player situation," Carter said. "I can't see myself anywhere else at this point. I want to be in orange."
Carter's mother, Jessica Lhamon, accompanied Carter on her official visit in October and was able to talk to the other two recruits on that trip.
"Their loyalty was never in question," Lhamon said. "I really think those girls never thought twice. They bleed orange and white."
Carter is coming back from ACL surgery on her left knee and on her official visit last October while the other two recruits watched practice, she was engrossed in keeping an eye on junior guard Kamiko Williams, who was undergoing sideline rehab with Jenny Moshak, the team's chief of sports medicine, for the same injury.
"I can't wait to work with her," Carter said. "I was just watching trying to see what she did. Just little things I would hear JMo say I would take note of so I could use it when I got back home."
Carter is allowed to maintain contact with Moshak.
"I have kept in contact with JMo," said Carter, who, by NCAA rules, is the one who initiates the phone call. "We are communicating as best we can."
When Carter arrives on campus – and she intends to enroll next June – she can shift her rehab and conditioning sessions to the watchful eyes of Moshak and Heather Mason.
In the meantime, Carter has slowed her roll, so to speak, and although she still hopes to play high school basketball in her senior year, she is now focused on her core strength and quad muscles.
"I was recovering very quickly and doing a lot," Carter said. "What we are doing now is working on an extremely strong core and my quads."
She undergoes physical tests periodically to measure her progress with the next series planned for next month.
"We'll take it from there," Carter said. "We are not thinking long-term. Everything is step by step."
The coaching staff is encouraged by Carter's reports to them.
"She had good doctors," DeMoss said. "Her work ethic is off the charts so she has rehabbed really strong. Her only problem is going to be wanting to get back too soon and wanting to do too much."
That is where Carter's mother has stepped in to monitor her daughter's activity now that high school teams are back on the court.
"Obviously I want to play my senior year, but it's not going to be an emotional decision," Carter said. "I am going to talk about it with my parents, my doctors, my coaches. I am not playing unless my knee is 100 percent.
"I don't want to go out on the court until I can play the exact same way if not better than I did when I got hurt. I love diving on the floor. I don't want to even have in my mind that I was hurt when I come back. I don't want that to even be an issue. I want to come back like I never hurt my knee before.
"I will start doing drills as soon as I can. I can do ball handling now, and I am shooting a little bit. I will do more cardio when I can. As far as actually playing we have to see about that."
Carter is a very athletic guard with tremendous leaping ability who would fit in well with Tennessee's up-tempo style of play.
"She's a very athletic guard," DeMoss said. "We certainly can use another guard with the loss of this senior class. She brings a lot of athleticism to the table. She can penetrate. She shoots the three. Her vertical jump is off the charts. She is probably going to be able to play a little bit bigger than her size."
When Summitt watched Carter in high school, she saw a player who could handle both guard spots.
"I thought she was very skilled, very unselfish, can distribute the ball and very athletic," Summitt said.
Carter could even play the small forward spot at times if the Lady Vols used a smaller lineup with Ariel Massengale and Meighan Simmons at the one and two positions, because with Carter's leaping ability "she rebounds really well," DeMoss said.
Graves, a post from Clarksville, Tenn., will operate in the paint.
"She is very mobile, physical," Summitt said. "She has a lot of grit. I really like her. She is just a solid player. She is going to be a paint player."
DeMoss added, "She is a blue-collar worker. She gets in there and she bangs and she's aggressive around the glass. She is a really aggressive defender, very athletic. Hard-nosed, very much of a competitor.
"She has limited range, but she can shoot it from the free throw line in. We're looking at playing her at the four and maybe even the five some."
Jones, a forward from Madison, Ala., projects to the three/four spot in college.
"There are a lot of similarities between the two players," DeMoss said of Jones and Graves. "Jasmine was at camp the last couple of years and she displayed a lot of athleticism. She is playing more at the three now so we felt like she could step out if she continues to work on her face-up skills. She can help us on the perimeter some. She's aggressive around the glass. Sets hard screens. Dives on the floor for loose balls. She's a hard worker.
"If she keeps working she can really extend her range. She is working on her ball handling. She could be like a Bridgette Gordon-type three player. That 6'1 power three. But she's got to keep working."
Jones' mother, LaTrish Jones, played for Alabama and had to guard former Lady Vol Tamika Catchings when Tennessee and the Crimson Tide clashed.
"Bless her heart," Summitt said with a smile.
LaTrish Jones instilled in her daughter the importance of defense and rebounding. While she helped get Jasmine Jones college-ready, LaTrish Jones is also a diehard Alabama fan. She will cheer for the Lady Vols in every game, even against Alabama, but she won't wear orange.
"She'll change her mind," Summitt said. "We'll work on that."
As of now, Graves projects to a power forward in college, but she might need to anchor at center sometimes, too.
"That depends on who else we sign," DeMoss said. "That may be out of necessity."
DeMoss can't use names, but she can talk numbers when it comes to junior college plans.
"We'd sign two if there's two out there," DeMoss said. "We definitely need a big."
All three signees can play on the defensive side of the ball. With Jones it was taught by her mother, Carter is an aggressive perimeter defender – she hurt her knee trying to deflect a pass – and Graves brings attitude to the paint.
"I like them," Summitt said. "Across the board I think that's the plus."
Carter was the last to sign her LOI. She did it Nov. 12th on her 18th birthday in a celebration at Buford High School after a team scrimmage. In attendance for the signing party was Buford teammate Kaela Davis, a verbal commit to the Lady Vols from the class of 2013 and a close friend of Carter.
Lhamon took a photo of the pair with Carter's siblings and referred to all five as her children.
From left, Curt, Kaela Davis, Andraya Carter, Alli, Zoey
Carter's little sister, Alli, who shares a bedroom with Zoey, is keeping a countdown of the days until Carter leaves for college so that she can claim the empty room as her own.
"She comes in and just looks around like she's planning stuff in her head," Carter said. "I am like, 'I haven't left yet.' But they are going to miss me. I know it."
Carter's family and friends attended her signing day celebration, including some relatives who surprised her by making the drive from Ohio.
"It was awesome," Carter said. "My family was there and my close friends. It was a really good time. It was a lot of fun. I will never forget it."
Lhamon had decorated the room in orange-and-white with balloons and Lady Vol banners. The table had photos of Carter that she had taken with Summitt and a basketball that Summitt had signed when Carter was a middle school camper and not even on Tennessee's radar yet. Carter saved the ball and framed an autograph on a piece of paper that she had gotten from Summitt, too.
Davis, who will sign her LOI in a year, sat beside Carter while she inked the document. Buford Coach Gene Durden also was present for the ceremony, as were Carter's parents, Jessica and Gary "Tyke" Lhamon.
"My dad is a man of few words, but he said he was proud of me and he loved me," Carter said. "My mom is the more talkative one. So we talked, the whole I can't believe it's here type deal. It was cool."
"We were very proud of her," Jessica Lhamon said. "We have seen her work ever since she was 9 years old. She told us she was going to play in the Olympics, and she was going to get a scholarship to Tennessee. She would decline invitations to go out with her friends so she could be in the garage doing her ball handling drills."
If Carter wasn't working on her game, she had her head in a textbook.
"She is a straight A-student," Lhamon said. "Seeing her work so hard and making her dream come true and watching her sign those papers the credit goes to her. It is all because of God providing opportunity and her taking advantage. She has earned it. She has worked for it.
"She is so humble, and I wanted to make sure she knows her hard work and her character, this is her, she did this. She can thank everybody for helping but had she not pushed herself she would not be where she's at."
Carter is Lhamon's oldest child so she is holding onto the time she has left with her daughter at home.
"I have noticed, too, that she is home more often than usual," Lhamon said. "We do a lot as a family. I've had the privilege of being able to be at home when my children came home from school. Tyke and I have made decisions that while our kids are at home we didn't go on vacations with just each other. Rather than date night we had family night.
"Now that it has come time for Andraya to go to college and probably not live at home again we are extremely grateful that we did make the decision. Everything we did we did as a family. We are trying to cherish that time, but I think she's ready to be where she is supposed to be, which is clearly at Tennessee."
With Carter's high school season on hiatus for now, she can't help but look ahead to Tennessee.
"I am really eager," Carter said. "I see JMo working with Kamiko and that one-on-one physical therapy that they are doing and not having school for eight hours a day and just getting up there and training and working out with them.
"Obviously, I am not physically ready, but I am emotionally and mentally ready to be there. I am excited. This is my hometown. Obviously I am going to miss my family like crazy but it is just excitement. I will come as soon as I can.
"I talk about it all the time. I talk to Bashaara a lot. I talk to Jasmine, too. We are all just really excited."
INJURY UPDATE: Senior forward Vicki Baugh, who missed Sunday's game at Virginia, a 69-64 loss in overtime, because of tightness in her left hamstring, was back at practice Tuesday.
Junior forward/guard Taber Spani, who took a shot to her left knee in the first half of the game, has been diagnosed with a bone bruise and is on crutches. She was listed as day to day. The coaches hope she will be available for the next game, but her status will be determined as the week goes on.
Spani is the team's leading scorer at 17.7 points per game and is shooting 47.8 percent (11-23) from long range.
The Lady Vols watched film with the coaches Monday and then got back to the practice court Tuesday at Pratt Pavilion.
"We were all down (after the game), but the next day we came in and watched film," senior forward/guard Shekinna Stricklen said after Tuesday's practice. "We were talking in film. We know what we messed up."
The Lady Vols have a week between games with Baylor up next this coming Sunday with tipoff set for 2 p.m. Eastern (ESPN) at Thompson-Boling Arena.
"If you're an athlete and you're a competitor, you find a way to regroup," Assistant Coach Mickie DeMoss said. "You've got to find a way to bounce back. That (Virginia) game is history. We're going to learn from it. We hope we get better from it. But you can't dwell on it."

When veteran right-hander Brent Tomko joined the Giants pitching staff last season he brought his game with him, just as he had done with every other team he had pitched for.
His game of consistency.
No other pitcher has been able to maintain the level of consistency that Tomko has.
*He has surpassed 200+-inning barrier three times, including two of last three season and only missed doing it again by six frames in 2004.
* He has recorded at least 10 victories in five of eight seasons, which also includes a pair of 13-win and 11-win efforts.
*Traditionally, he has been more productive during second half of the campaign. Over the last two seasons, he has posted a 15-5 win-loss record.
Brett Tomko, Cincinnati's second round pick in the 1995 draft, was born in the Cleveland suburb of Euclid on April 7th. Tomko attended Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. After only one season, Tomko was named NCAA Division II National Player of Year after going 15-2 with a 1.35 earned run average and fanning 154 in 126 innings. He was also named Most Outstanding Player of the Division II World Series when the hurler tossed 19 scoreless innings over three appearances.
He made his professional debut in 1995 and was named the South Atlantic Leagues Howe SportsData Pitcher of the Week for July 2430. By seasons end, he was rated as one of the top five prospects in the Reds organization by Baseball America. By the end of 1996 season, his first professional season, he was billed as the Reds top prospect by Baseball America.
Tomko opened the 1997 season in triple A Indianapolis but was recalled by the Reds on May 24 and made his big league debut three days later. He lost to Curt Schilling and the Phillies 2-1 at Riverfront Stadium. In the June 6th game versus the New York Mets, he earned first win and collected his first big league hit and run batted in. He went 11-7 and tied for seventh in the National League Rookie of the Year voting for that year.
In 1998, Tomkos first full season in the majors, he led the Reds in starts, innings pitched, and strikeouts. He finished with a 13-12 record. With his 13 victories, Tomko became the first Cincinnati hurler since Art Fowler (1954-1955) to win at least 11 games in his first two seasons.
In 1999, Tomko made his first career Opening Day start in what would be his final year in a Reds uniform. Following the season, he would be a footnote in history. He was the essential player in the blockbuster deal that brought Ken Griffey, Jr. from Seattle to Cincinnati.
In Tomkos first season with Mariners he posted a 7-5 mark (3-3 in relief) and registered his first career save versus the Chicago White Sox. He pitched in the post season for the first time in his career making five appearances. In 2001, he once again became a footnote in Seattle Mariner history. He was the winning pitcher in the October 4th game versus the Texas Rangers. With the victory, the Mariners tied the 1998 New York Yankees' American League record with its 114th regular season win.
In 2002, Tomko returned to the Senior Circuit, this time with the San Diego Padres. He went 10-10 and led the Padres staff in starts and complete games. He was second on the staff in victories, innings pitched and strikeouts. In 2003, while pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals, he matched his career high in victories going 13-9. Once again he proved to be most effective during the second half of the season, posting an 8-3 mark after the All-Star Break. He registered his 50th career victory with 7-5 triumph over the Milwaukee Brewers April 14th.
In his first season with the Giants, Tomko finished second on the staff in wins (reaching double digits for the fifth time), innings pitched, strikeouts, and winning percentage. He ranked third on the staff in starts. Tomko recorded his first victory as a Giant on April 28 versus the Atlanta Braves. Again, Tomko proved to be a strong second half pitcher and was the sixth winningest pitcher in the National League following All-Star break.
With a pitching arsenal that includes an explosive fastball, slider, changeup and curve, Tomko is the complete package. He owns a lifetime record of 73-58. The workhorse is an innings eater and he has pitched at least six innings in 123 (out of 186) career starts. He has limited opponents to three earned runs or less in 115 of his 186 lifetime starts. Early in his career he was prone to give up the long ball, but with maturity, that number has steadily dropped.
History has shown that he is a better second half pitcher than the first, and that he comes back stronger after an injury. One has to wonder just how devastating Tomko can truly be if he puts it all together (a strong first half that matches his second half and an injury free season). It has yet to be seen, and time will tell if it ever will. What has been seen however, is that in eight years, no pitcher in baseball has been as consistent has Brett Tomko.
If Brett Tomko and Jason Schmidt can manage to stay healthy for an entire season, the Giants might very well have the best 1-2 starters in all of Major League Baseball.

Phil Illingworth's practice encompasses the expanded fields of painting and drawing
Teesside has enjoyed its best year to date in the national university league tables.
First, Teesside University went up 15 places in the Complete University Guide.
Then they soared 19 places in The Guardian's University Guide, published in May 2011.
Now in the third of this year's national university league tables, Teesside has moved up ten places in The Times Good University Guide.
Professor Graham Henderson, CBE, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of Teesside University, said: 'I am very proud that Teesside has risen significantly in all three of the major University league tables published this year, and that we have had our best ever results in two of those tables.
'It is a great tribute to the whole University community and yet more evidence that Teesside is a university that is well placed to succeed in the future, as we continue to emphasise the student experience at the centre of all our work.'
Over 1,000 visitors attended our June open day to find out more about studying here in 2012.
Students got the opportunity to go to talks on subjects they were interested in as well as find out the real story on fees and funding.
Anyone who couldn't attend can still book on to October open days to visit Teesside University.

Let's put this to rest, Iran isn't developing Nukes
I saw this article the other day, just confirms what most people knew was just rhetoric by the chickenhawks in Washington.
Surprise, surprise, surprise...Does any of this sound strangely familiar? Knock off about 10 years, replace Iran with Iraq, trade the words nuclear capabilities with WMD....it's a page right out of George jr's book "How to start war based on bullshit" So what's next? "We have new evidence that Iran is indeed making nuclear bombs, we can't show it to you because it's a matter of national security but trust us...it's new and it's evidence" Or maybe one of our warships will sink in the strait, if the Iranians don't have the balls to do it, we'll just do it ourselves. I've been saying it for years, our entire federal government should be impeached, they barely even try to cover up their crimes anymore. If anyone thinks for one second that voting for this or that is going to change anything, then you are a fool. Look at Eric Holder, gun smuggling and money laundering, no charges, Bernake, fraud and theft by deception, no charges, insider trading by members of the house and senate, no charges, they call it lobbying I call it bribery, no charges, commit treason with NDAA, no charges, the list is endless. Now Russia is getting pissed about the Iran thing, so maybe this is all a ploy to drag the cold war out of mothballs :dunno: Or who knows, maybe it's just a distraction because they are not done looting the country and are getting tired of people seeing through the veil of bullshit.
And so it begins....WEEEEEEE!!! The comments below the article are fucking hilarious in a disturbing way

Get an EXTRA 10% OFF when you buy any 2 of these high quality tyres
The Grand Prix 4000S II boasts global appeal as the best all round race bike tyre on the market. Not only is it fast and super grippy, thanks to its state of the art BlackChili rubber compound, but it is also tough with a healthy tread layer and of course Continental's Vectran anti puncture breaker layer underneath. So for reliability, longevity and all out performance for your race machine, the GP 4000S II is the only choice.
How are these figures possible? The carbon filler particles within the rubber compound are reduced to 1/10th of the size of standard carbon particles. This creates a closer knit with the particles having more points of contact with each other, thus forming a tighter bond, (increasing mileage performance) and also with the road (increasing grip). Also the way in which the particles interact with each other has a dramatic effect on reducing rolling resistance. Black Chili is used by several ProTour and Continental teams as shown opposite.
The all new Vectran breaker belt, developed and patented by Continental, surpasses even the famous puncture resistance of the former leader in this category, the GP3000. The extremely strong Vectran fabrics are more flexible and lighter than all other puncture protection materials. Vectran offers more resistance to cuts than Aramid, is five times as strong as steel and features less weight than a nylon double breaker. It also maintains strength in the wet.

Great choice of product and good price too! Delivery in time!
Good rolling tire. Had no mounting issues despite some reports that it is hard to mount tire. Very grippy and compared to 23 that they have replaced are more comfortable. Actually alot more. Almost 200km so far of fair weather riding and no compalins so far. Rolled over patch of construction gravel and random rocks couple of times. No damage to the tire. Haven't noticed much decrease in rolling resistance to be honest, but the ride is more plushy and cornering is insane... sounds like tires are glued to the road when you lean the bike in. Climbing times have improved though due to lower tire weight. Kudos to PBK for delivering to Canada in less then 2 weeks.
Just bought 2 new ones although my current Continental 4000's are working/lasting just fine; may put them on for my next Olympic distance triathlon but may not as I really trust these tires and their durability. Grippy and comfortable at 105 psi.
Have ridden on 23s and now 25s for years. Most comfortable/comp[liant tire I've tried (compared to Michelin. Vittoria, Schwalbe). Good grip, cut and puncture resistance, and durability. Have recommended to many friends, who have also been pleased with them. Might seem expensive, but they do go on sale, and are good value. You can usually find a pair on sale at a very reasonable price (for a quality tire). Have only had to have one replaced (got past quality control being out of round/with a high spot) out of perhaps 16-20 purchased for myself and others. No-hassle replacement and didn't even return the tire --- just send a 20 sec. video of the mounted tire in rotation. Would give it 5/5 but want them to encourage Conti to keep improving it.
The price of this tire is extremely competitive as compared to the average price of 74-78 dollars here in Toronto. Extremely good set of well known tires for a really really good price.
Half the price then here in Canada
So far so good. I haven't ridden too much on the tyres but I'm impressed by the initial quality. Cornering is secure.
Tires were great, very pleased with them. Road a 125km that week after putting them on, and immediately felt the traction control and comfort and didn't worry at all if it started to rain.
We love these tires! We have them on both of our bikes and they ride extremely well in most conditions. They also seem to be very puncture-resistant and durable. They are more than worth the price!
Excellent product, delivery time and price. This is an excellent company to deal with!
Ordered stuff several times from these guys.. Excellent service and fast delivery every time... Great place to shop for all your bike needs...
It's first time to use 4000S 2 tyre. My friends had recommended this good durability.
these are excellent tires that work in all kinds of conditions. I prefer 25mm and run at 90-100 lbs. These are not inexpensive but I continue to come back to them. With the never wheels with wider internal width I can put them on and off without levers.
These are great tires. Long lasting, excellent puncture resistance and excellent grip. Cant go wrong with these!
I replaced my Mavic Yksion because it was time with the Conti Grand Prix and have already had the chance to ride them in both hot and dry as well as cold and wet conditions. These tires are fantastic. Very responsive, grippy, and comfortable enough for long distances. Probikekit had them shipped PDQ and the package arrived in perfect condition. I had to drop by the post office to pay a bit of duty on the tires, but even with that expense, the price was still less than what I would have paid off the shelf in any of my local shops. Top marks!
I use these tires for training and racing, they are durable, and hold up decently in the rain. I think I have only flatted once in these tires while training out on some cottage roads, highly recommend.
recently purchased the continental grand prix 4000 road tyre. wow, couldn't believe the difference. from the moment I went for my first ride after installing them I knew these were different. smother riding , easier rolling and a faster tire.recently competed in a 40k race and took first place , very impressed with the continental grand prix 4000....
New installed tires and as usual very good cornering and traction performance. A very reliable tire.
Excellent product, highly recommanded .....Also excellent service from ProBikeKit, will buy again for sure.
These are durable and roll great. I wouldn't, run anything else. Can usually get 4000 km on them.
Just got installed them a week ago. So I cannot fully review them. But so far, excellent grip in both dry and wet condition. Very quiet.
Vert good tire. Long l'as tong Andre vert good handling
An all around fantastic tire! Great durability, handling and rolling resistance. Worth the $$ and will last you a long time. Great for training and racing!
This tire/tyre is awesome! Very light and nice smooth ride! Delivery to Ontario, Canada was within the expected (2 weeks).
Best all around tyre for weight, grip, durability, puncture resistance
Items purchased received as ordered. Probikekit has consistently provided me with great service.
Great tires! Long lasting, very few punctures and they stick good!
I have used these these tires for years and seem to wear like a trooper. Tried other continentals (ultra sport) and founds these to last better... and much easier to get on the rims.
Delivery to Ontario, Canada was 5 days faster than info indicated when ordered. So FAST!!! And best price! No issues, can't wait for the weather to clear to get outside. Probike.ca you rock!
Great tyres that can last for more than 1000 km. Sweet ryding and they make you feel faster on your bike.
I've been riding on these tires for a couple of seasons, and they are very reliable. Rotating them every 10000 kms and the wear dimples are still visible after 5000 kms. With the Probikekit 15 % reduction on the purchase of 4 tires, it's a great deal.
I've used these tires for years, and find them long lived, puncture resistant, comfortable to ride, and consistently high quality. I would recommend them to any serious road rider.
these are my go-to tires and are excellent. While flat resistant, they are still easily punctured/cut off the center of the tire. These came with tubes as an extra, however the tubes seemed to me to be very old stock. I will not use them on a bike where I am riding long distances( if at all). Fast delivery and competitive pricing.
I rode the full season with lots of races. Only one well deserved flat this year which is remarkable considering I would usually get 6 or more with past tires. Also the tires have worn well and I would usually be onto a second set by the end of the season, but they are still going. Great performing and very predictable tires.
Great tires, best one for on the road. Rolling resistance low. Puncture resistance high.
Great tire on the road plus fabulous service from UK to Canada probikekit you are the best
I haven't installed the tires yet. However, I would like to comment on excellent delivery, did not to wait long considering it is being shipped from UK to Canada. Plus, it the correct items :)
Awesome tires, can't be beat for the money.
These tires live up to the hype and praise they have been getting. Wear well, corner great in wet or dry conditions and Probikekit has the best price and service in the world. This Canadian customer is 100% satisfied. Thanks Probikekit.
Great tires, no issues with these at all. Used them in a half ironman race in the sun and with a bit of rain on some slick roads. No issues with turning and no flats yet! Only had them for a month but still satisfied with my purchase!

A presidium or praesidium (Russian prezidium, from Latin praesidēre "to superintend", "preside" [related to "president"]; English plural presidiums or pr(a)esidia) is the executive or permanent (often "standing") committee or collective presidency of various legislative bodies and other organizations.[1]
Communist countries[edit]
In Communist states the presidium is the permanent committee of the legislative body such as the Supreme Soviet in the USSR. The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR existed from 1936, when the Supreme Soviet of the USSR replaced the Congress of Soviets with its Central Executive Committee that administered in between sessions, headed by "the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee." In 1936 this was replaced with the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet alone, no Central Executive Committee, and from this year to 1989 the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet was the formal title of the head of state of the USSR until the office of Chairman of the Supreme Soviet was introduced in 1990, later to be replaced by the President of the Soviet Union.
From 1952 to 1966 the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was known as the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party but despite the similarity in name with the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the two Presidia were very different in power and function.
The term presidium is currently used in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (Supreme People's Assembly Presidium) and in the People's Republic of China (Standing Committee of the National People's Congress; the Chinese word for both presidium and standing committee is 常务委员会).
Other usage[edit]
In Germany, the presidium of the national legislature (Bundestag, formerly Reichstag) is responsible for the legislature's routine administration, nowadays including its clerical and research activities. The current presidium consists of the president and vice presidents of the Bundestag.
It is also used in the political party in People's Republic of Bangladesh Awami League where the Presidium is the inner or topmost circle of members who are of highest importance within the party.[2]
Socialist International also has Presidium as one of its organs.[3]
In Flemish and Scandinavian student organisations, the term "presidium" is used as an umbrella term for all the chairmen in the organisations' administration.

London - Nike will supply the kit for England's national soccer team from next year, replacing the Umbro brand that Nike has put up for sale.
The five-year agreement will cover English soccer at all levels include the men's and women's national teams, as well as amateur and disabled squads, the English Football Association (FA) said on Monday.
Nike will also sponsor St George's Park, the FA's new national football centre.
No financial details were given.
Umbro, based in the northern English city of Manchester, had provided the England team kit for most of the last 60 years. Nike said in May it planned to sell it to focus on core brands.
Nike, the world's largest sporting goods company, entered the soccer market in 1994 and now rivals Germany's Adidas for top spot. Adidas has a market share of around 38 percent in soccer, against an estimated 36 percent for Nike.
The U.S. company is ensuring it holds on to its top partners after the Umbro sale. It said earlier this year it would take over the supply of kit for English premier league champions Manchester City from next year.

New video of Carol Gotbaum's arrest; and audio of Noah Gotbaum's calls to Sky Harbor.
Below is a new snippet of video released on Friday from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport of Carol Gotbaum's arrest. Though the video seems of slightly better quality and closer-in than previous footage, it only shows Gotbaum being dragged through the concourse, and does not show her being taken down by PHX PD. So I don't think it adds a lot to the story.
As she's being led off into the distance, you see Gotbaum slipping on the slick, carpet-less floor. I'm reminded that one of the officers who searched Gotbaum before she was placed in the holding cell, an Officer Klepper, made mention of Gotbaum being in her stocking feet, and the smoothness of the cell floor. One of the investigators notes:
"[Klepper] did say that the floor of the holding cell is smooth, without carpet. The woman had no shoes and nylon 1/2 socks. She said the floor would be smooth for someone who was wearing that kind of sock."
Could Gotbaum have slipped while trying to get out of her restraints, and that's how she ended up in the unusual position in which she was found, with her handcuffs up near her neck?

This latest video begs the question: Is more video of the Gotbaum arrest out there? Gotbaum family attorney Mike Manning told me that, "I know there's more video than what they've released," but declined to give his source for that information. Both PHX PD and the airport have told me there is no more. However, the fact that this snippet's turned up does make one wonder if there will be more unearthed down the road.
Spoke to David Boyer, Acting Director of the County Medical Examiner's Office, and he says Carol Gotbaum's toxicology results may be in by the end of the week, so a ruling on the cause and manner of death may be around the corner.
(I've just heard that the PHX PD have released a final report on their Gotbaum investigation. More on that when I get it.)
Here also are the audio files of Noah Gotbaum's calls to the airport inquiring about the status of his spouse. The first comes about an hour after her death. The second one is especially creepy to listen to, as you hear one of Gotbaum's children crying in the background, and you hear him tell the child to leave the room after he mutters to the call center person that his wife may be "suicidal." I do wonder why it took so long to tell Noah Gotbaum that his wife was deceased. I've asked the cops, but they've yet to get back to me on that.
There are long pauses on these files, and we did edit out Gotbaum's phone # the couple of times it was mentioned. Unfortunately, we don't have a clock on these recordings. Sorry for that. Just keep listening past the pauses.
The first call comes about 4:40 p.m. on 9/28/07. Remember, Gotbaum was pronounced dead at 3:29 p.m. that day. Approximate time in minutes/seconds: 4:45
The second call comes around 5:28 p.m. In this call, you hear an airport call center person named Mike talk to a PHX PD Sgt. about what to tell Noah Gotbaum. Approximate time in minutes/seconds: 6:13
Third and final call from Noah Gotbaum, coming about 6:02 p.m. Approximate time in minutes/seconds: 4:32

Luis Cruz Turns Down The Roman Martinez Showdown
By Rick Reeno
BoxingScene.com was informed by Gaby Penagaricano, of Miguel Cotto Promotions, that undefeated Luis Cruz (17-0, 14KOs) turned down a lucrative opportunity to face former world champion Rocky Martinez (24-1-1, 15KOs) in a Showtime televised bout on April 16 in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. The fight would have been the co-feature to the featherweight clash between WBO champion Juan Manuel Lopez and challenger Orlando Salido.
The WBO had already approved Cruz-Martinez as a final eliminator for a shot at super featherweight champion Ricky Burns.
Miguel Cotto Promotions tried their best to finalize the terms, and advised Cruz to accept the fight, but the boxer, and his manager, were demanding more money.

In the graph below, the vertices represent houses and edges represent a possible drive between houses in under 10 minutes
(a) Vertices are indicated in dark circles in the above graph. They are namely A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Hence, the number of vertices is.
(d) In order to find the possibility to drive to all other houses in less than 20 minutes from a house, consider if any vertex is connected to other vertices by paths not more than 2 edges. In the graph above only from vertices A, D and F all the other vertices can be traversed to in paths consisting not more than 2 edges.
Hence, it is possible for A, D and F houses.
(e) In order to check for the trip longer than 20 minutes from house B, consider the paths involving at least 3 edges from B to any other vertex. Hence, vertex E can be traversed to by path BCDE, vertex G can be traversed to by path BCDEG, vertex H can be traversed to by path BCDEH but vertex F will be traversed by path BAF and A, C, D vertices can be traversed by BA, BC and BCD paths respectively which is less than 3 edges.
Hence, it is possible for E, H and G houses.

Canyon police are investigating the origin of an online threat to set off explosives and damage Canyon High School, a police official said Tuesday.
Police and staff at Canyon High School conducted three sweeps of the building, once Monday afternoon after the school day, once before school started Tuesday and once before lunch Tuesday, Canyon Police Chief Dale Davis said.
The threat didn't mention individual students or teachers, but it indicated someone had an explosive device and intended to damage the building, Davis said.
"I think the building is extremely safe," he said.
The sweeps followed two out-of-state tips, one through Canyon's city Web site and one to Student Crime Stoppers, about a post written Sunday on a Web site's message board, Davis said. Davis isn't releasing the name of the Web site, citing concerns that the content is inappropriate for young adults.
Once Canyon police were certain that the post referred to Canyon High School in Canyon, they notified the school district and searched the campus.
"It's just really being proactive," he said.
"The safety of our kids is monumental."
The Police Department is working with an FBI agent to try to solve the case, he said.
As a precaution, Canyon High School is operating on a tightened schedule, which shortens passing periods, school district spokeswoman Christy Bertolino said.

How to create product requirements using Confluence
- By Terrence Caldwell, Product Marketing Manager
- JIRA, Products, Confluence
- On September 3, 2015
We've written quite a bit about the conundrum of writing requirements in an agile environment. The most important takeaway is: the best way to kick-off your software projects is to build a shared understanding amongst your team. At Atlassian we find the best way to do this is to create a collaborative product requirement to hash out details for large complex epics. When your requirement doc is created and the details are all in one place, it makes it a lot easier for Development and Design to provide

Record decreases in extended mass layoffs, 2009 Q1
May 14, 2010
Both mass layoff events and mass layoff separations decreased by record amounts from the same period a year earlier, when layoffs and associated separated workers reached program highs (with data available back to 1995).
Employers initiated 1,564 mass layoff events in the first quarter of 2010 that resulted in the separation of 221,150 workers from their jobs for at least 31 days. In the first quarter of 2009, there were 3,979 mass layoff events and 705,141 separations.
In the first quarter of 2010, 17 of 18 major industry sectors in the private nonfarm economy registered sharp declines over the year in the number of extended mass layoff events.
There were record decreases in the number of layoff events in 12 industries: mining; manufacturing; wholesale trade; retail trade; transportation and warehousing; information; finance and insurance; real estate and rental and leasing; professional and technical services; management of companies and enterprises; administrative and waste services; and other services, except public administration.
These data are from the Mass Layoff Statistics program. See "Extended Mass Layoffs — First Quarter of 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-0644, to learn more. The quarterly series on extended mass layoffs cover layoffs of at least 31-days duration that involve 50 or more individuals from a single employer filing initial claims for unemployment insurance during a consecutive 5-week period. Data for the most recent quarter are preliminary.

Koichi Nakamura Interview: On the Birth of the Console RPG
Cover Story: The co-creator of Dragon Quest looks back on his company's work and discusses their current creations.
hen people talk and write about the Dragon Quest series, they tend to drop the same names: Yuji Horii, of course (the famously chain-smoking designer has become one of Japan's most beloved creators); Koichi Sugiyama (whose controversial political views seem a sharp contrast for his uplifting compositions); and Akira Toriyama (whose Dragon Quest fame is exceeded only by his other dragon-based legacy, Dragon Ball). Yet one key figure often tends to be overlooked: Koichi Nakamura, whose company Chun Soft did the heavy lifting for the first five Dragon Quest games. Although Nakamura and Chun Soft parted ways with the franchise two decades ago, their influence remains: Dragon Quest X has just launched in Japan, and Chun Soft's original Dragon Quest spin off Torneko's Big Adventure spawned the Mystery Dungeon franchise, which continues running strong to this day with branches focusing on Pokemon, Final Fantasy, and Chun Soft's own hero Shiren.
We met with Nakamura to discuss his role in the creation of Dragon Quest, the company's move toward independence, and what Chun Soft has in the works currently.
1UP: Thank you for taking the time to let us interview you. You've had an important role in the Japanese games industry, but I don't know if you're familiar to many gamers in the West. So you run Chun Soft now, but did you get started with Enix, is that correct?
KN: I started my own gig when I was in college, the first year of college. So officially my career started with Chun Soft.
1UP: So Enix was more your publisher, you didn't actually work directly for the company?
KN: Enix had a contest, a game contest, when I was in high school. I created a game called Door Door, and I won second prize in the contest. So to answer to your question, Enix was like our publisher, and that was my first contact with Enix. Originally, Enix wanted to get into distribution, and that's why they held the contest, to gather titles. That's how it all started.
1UP: So that was for programming on early PCs, right?
KN: Yes.
1UP: I know in America, there were magazines that would have code inside, you could type that in. That built a lot of amateur interest in game development and game design in those early days. Is that how you first became interested in game design?
KN: Yeah, exactly. That's how he started out. I was sending my games to magazines and stuff, and there were three titles that actually got introduced through the magazines.
1UP: What were those three?
KN: Back in the day, the copyrights for games weren't that strict, so people would just copy arcade games and create PC versions. That's what I was doing. The first title was a copy of Space Panic, and I named it Alien Part Two. The second game was a mock version of Scramble by Konami, that was just called Scramble. And the third one was a mock version of River Patrol.
1UP: But Door Door was your own creation. Can you talk a little bit about that? I'm slightly familiar with it, but I don't think most Americans really know the game. So if you don't mind explaining what the game was, how it was inspired, how it played, and maybe why it became popular...?
KN: Originally, I was trying to make a game for the contest, and my first idea was to create a mock version of Dig-Dig, Namco's Dig-Dug. But for the contest they wanted an original title. So I started thinking, if there's any way that I could take the fun essence from Dig-Dug to create my own game... I was in high school, sitting in class and thinking about how to come up with a game concept, and I saw all the other students coming in and out of the classroom door. That's where I got the idea. The game won second prize, and then it was shown on TV... Are you familiar with NHK? [Nippon Housou Kyoukai, Japan's national public television station.]
1UP: Yeah.
KN: It was shown on NHK, and it was the best-selling game from the contest. That's probably why it became so famous. That and, back in the day, there weren't games that had very good graphics like this game had, so that helped it become popular. And the game itself was a lot of fun.
1UP: I know that Chun Soft was involved in the creation of the first five Dragon Quest games. What was the process, or the evolution going from Door Door to Dragon Quest? How did you become involved with the creation of the game and what kind of role did you play in its development?
KN: Back when the Famicom, the NES, came out -- that was after I'd created Door Door, the PC version. But Enix approached me about six months after the Famicom's release to create a Famicom version of Door Door, because it was looking like the Famicom was going to be a big success. So they created Door Door for the Famicom. And then they were also talking about creating another game. I had this original action game in mind, so that was what they were talking about at first, but I wanted to create an adventure game, because there were a lot of action games around. I was thinking that if somebody were to create an adventure game on the Famicom, it would be a big hit. But the Famicom's memory was very small, so we had concerns about whether we'd be able to create that kind of game on the Famicom. But Mr. Horii, Yuji Horii, had this game called Portopia...
1UP: Right. [Portopia Rezoku Satsujin Jiken, or The Portopia Serial Murder Mystery, an early console adventure title by the eventual creators of Dragon Quest.]
KN: Yes. So I had that game, Portopia, and we decided to bring that to the Famicom. We created the Famicom version of this game together, and during that time, Horii-san was really into Ultima, and I was really into Wizardry. So both of us said, why don't we create a role-playing game? We were really into these role-playing games at the time. And that was how Dragon Quest started. After we finished Portopia, we started creating Dragon Quest.
1UP: What was it that you liked so much about Wizardry? What really appealed to you about that game?
KN: So of course, you don't know what kind of monster is going to appear. And the fact that your character becomes stronger and stronger, evolving as you play the game. That was a big attraction. And also the treasures and everything, and the map. I remember it being a 20-by-20 map, but I used to create my own 3D map on graph paper, just imagining what the dungeon could be like. That was fascinating to me.
1UP: How much creative input did you have into Dragon Quest? When I've interviewed the official Dragon Quest team, and people who are involved with the series still, they always play up Mr. Horii's role, and I know that he's been very instrumental. But they always try to... I wouldn't say they downplay the people who work with him, but they tend to focus more on him. I've never really gotten a clear picture of what the people who work on Dragon Quest with Mr. Horii bring to the series. So I'm really curious to know, what kind of involvement did you have in shaping the series and determining its direction originally?
KN: The scenario, including the map, was created by Horii-san. And then graphics were drawn by Akira Toriyama, and the music was by Sugiyama-san. But this was the original Dragon Quest, so for the game design and battle system logic, that was created by me and Horii-san -- both of us would talk about it and exchange opinions and create the core game system together.
1UP: What role did you have in the subsequent Dragon Quests? I know Chun Soft worked on I through V. Did you continue to have a large involvement with the direction of the series, or were you in more of a technical role after that?
KN: For Dragon Quest, the original one, I programmed everything besides the sound part. And then for Dragon Quest II, I did about half of the programming, and for Dragon Quest III, I did more like 10 percent of the programming. For Dragon Quest IV, I didn't do any of the programming, but I was constructing... well, I was more like the brain behind the project, I was doing construction, but I wasn't doing the hands-on programming. And for Dragon Quest V I didn't do any hands-on programming either. But I was overseeing the whole project, directing the project.
1UP: You had already come in to Dragon Quest with a hit under your belt. Did you expect Dragon Quest to become the phenomenon that it was? Since you'd had your brush with success, maybe you were prepared for that...?
KN: Actually, when I was creating Dragon Quest, I was very confident that it was going to become a hit. The game was great, and they had this famous comic artist, Akira Toriyama, doing the art and everything, so I was very confident it was going to be a huge hit. But originally... the first numbers, the first sales numbers... Eventually it sold 1.1 million copies, but the first numbers were just around half that, about .6 million. I was expecting it to be a bigger hit, so to be honest, he was a little disappointed with the numbers. But then the sequel came out, Dragon Quest II came out... The original numbers that they had from distributors was .7 million, but then the game was delayed for a few months, and the numbers went down to .4 million. We thought, "Okay, it's not going to sell quite as much." But then, once it was out in stores, it created a huge panic -- the Dragon Quest panic -- everybody wanted Dragon Quest, and the stores all sold out. I'm sure you're familiar with what was going on Japan at the time...
1UP: Yeah. So... At what point did Chun Soft step away from Dragon Quest? Can you talk about how you left the series? I don't know if that's something you'd be willing to discuss...
KN: Chun Soft as a company, we were working on our own original titles as well while we were working on Dragon Quest. We'd been working on the Dragon Quest series for years and years and years. But then the new hardware, the Super Famicom, the SNES, came out, and we wanted to create something original, we wanted to create our own brand. And we did a bunch of work on Dragon Quest... Dragon Quest is a huge project, so if we wanted to work on that, everyone would have to work on that one project. We wouldn't have space or time to work on ur original stuff. I felt like I'd done enough for the series. I did everything that I'd wanted to do with the series. So right when the Super Famicom came out, I decided to stop working on the Dragon Quest series and go on with my own original brand.
1UP: Was that the Mystery Dungeon games? Was that something you'd created yourself, kind of your own brainchild?
KN: Yeah, the Mystery Dungeon series, and also the Sound Novels.
1UP: Yeah, the Sound Novels have never come to the United States, but a few of the Mystery Dungeon games have. I'm actually big fan of those. I was wondering if you could talk about the inspiration for that. I guess they're based on the game Rogue, or they're very similar, at least? Which seems like a very challenging sort of source material for a video game. Could you speak about that?
KN: Exactly. There was a staff member on the team that really liked Rogue, but Rogue is a difficult game, a very hardcore game. You use the whole alphabet [Rogue used ASCII text in place of graphics]. In the beginning, I played it for a whole week and didn't see what was supposed to be so much fun about it. But after that, I started to understand the game. Ultima and Wizardry are also difficult games, but what we did with those games is, they took those games and made a more easy-to-understand version of them, which was Dragon Quest. We wanted to approach Rogue in a similar way, make a more understandable, more easy-to-play version of Rogue, which was the Mystery Dungeon series. Torneko's Big Adventure was the first title that we put out in the series.
1UP: So you wanted to make a more accessible version of Rogue, but even so... The Mystery Dungeon games are a lot more challenging than Dragon Quest. Dragon Quest is a game that's meant for anyone to play, but I feel like it's very difficult for me to explain why Mystery Dungeon is fun, because people... They always die. When you play Mystery Dungeon, you die, and you die, and then you die. So what do you think is the appeal of Mystery Dungeon? Speaking as the creator, but also as a fan of that kind of game.
KN: When you play the game, the maps and the items change every time you play. So no matter how many times you play the game, you won't get used to it, you won't get bored of it. So that's one of the attractions. And also, by playing the game over and over, you improve your skills, because it always turns into an original game. You start learning how to approach problems in the game. The tense feeling of that, and also the satisfaction of getting yourself involved, that's the attraction. My staff and I always have a problem explaining the appeal of the series as well...
1UP: I know that the Mystery Dungeon games aren't the only games that you work on. Can you talk more about some of the titles that you've produced? I know 428 [a sound novel for Wii, PS3 and PSP] got a really good score in Famitsu and seems to be very well-regarded. I was just wondering if you could talk about some of the games that we Americans don't see on our side of the ocean.
KN: This game is a sound novel, you select your player and... The plot of the game is that there's a bio-terrorist attack in Shibuya, and it's a game about how you stop that. That's the main plot.
1UP: Are there other games that you've produced lately that you think might be interesting to people who wouldn't know about them, since they haven't been able to play them in English?
KN: This winter, we've released Kamaitachi no Yoru... It's one of our scary titles, our horror titles. And there's another one, the second title in a series called Gyokugen Dasshutsu, or "Extreme Escape." Does that click?
1UP: No, it doesnt...
KN: And Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors...
1UP: Ah, okay, yeah.
KN: So the first one was Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Hours, and the second title in the series will be coming to the U.S. this winter. We showed a movie for it, and then we were looking at the viewers and it seemed like about half of them were people from overseas. We only showed the Japanese version of it, but it seems like a fan translated it, and there are a lot of views on the translated version. I feel like there might be some anticipation for this in the West. It wasn't a smash hit or anything like that -- we sold maybe 30,000 units of the first one -- but it seems like it's still gathering some momentum.
1UP: It seems like the kind of game that's caught on through word of mouth. Maybe it didn't do so well at first, but people keep talking about it. It's in my shopping cart to pick up some time soon.
KN: Let me explain the title for the second one [Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward]. in Japanese, the title is "Zennin Shibo Desu." "Zennin" means "good person," and "shibo desu" is written in katakana, but there's two meanings to it. "Shibo" means "death," but it can also mean having hope, or targeting something with hope. That word has a double meaning, so it's basically... The good person might die, or the good person might be moving forward with hope. It's up to the player. That's kind of explaining the plot, it's a very cool title, but it's difficult to explain it in English.
1UP: Out of curiosity, maybe it's something you can't talk about, but I'm interested to know what you think about a Dragon Quest X. I was just curious to hear your thoughts about it, as someone who used to work on Dragon Quest.
KN: This is just my opinion, but I'm thinking, and a lot of people are thinking, "Why an MMO?" But my take on the situation is that the original Dragon Quest was an easier, more accessible version of Ultima or Wizardry. We wanted to introduce RPGs to Japan, to kids, to everybody. That's what Dragon Quest was about. And so now, the series wants to introduce online games and MMO gameplay to a broad audience, kids and families and... A lot of core gamers play Dragon Quest these days, but they probably want to bring the online experience to a broad audience.
1UP: And then finally, about how Japanese game development has been affected by the Touhoku earthquake and the tsunami. I was just wondering if you would be willing to talk at all about whether the event itself had any impact on you, and whether you've had to change any content in the games that you've been working on to reflect a sensitivity to things that have happened since then.
KN: So as far as actual damages, when the earthquake happened this building shook a lot, a lot of things fell. So we had some of that kind of damage, but no actual, real damage... Timing-wise, the earthquake didn't happen when we were planning to release something, so fortunately our didn't have to change content or move our release schedule or anything. The biggest worry that they had after the earthquake was about our servers and our data. After the earthquake happened, we decided to be really careful with the backups. We have an office in Nagoya as well, but we've decided to do double backups at both of the offices. If something happens at one office we'll still have the other backup. So that's the thing we put the most effort into after the earthquake.
1UP: I see. Well, thank you for your time.

at "My staff and I always have a problem explaining the appeal of the series as well..."
That's funny and kind of sad at the same time; I always thought of Shiren as kind of effortlessly enjoyable even with its high difficulty level. Regardless, it's nice to see him confirm that the series is directly inspired by Rogue, especially after Atlus did their best to deny it for the Wii release of Shiren.

I played that game last year and it was one of those games I wasn't expecting much from but was really surprised how good it was. I became interested in it after reading the review in a Nintendo Power mag and saw it got a high score. It's a very great game and a pleasant surprise that came out and got overlooked. I've beaten it a couple of times in order to get all the endings, so far I have 3. All I can say is that I'm looking forward to Zero Escape.

it was like playing a book, hopefully the second will have a bit more gameplay though.

Is American Science in Decline?by Yu Xie Alexandra A. Killewald
Alarmists argue that the United States urgently needs more and better-trained scientists to compete with the rest of the world. Their critics counter that, far from facing a shortage, we are producing a glut of young scientists with poor employment prospects. Both camps have issued reports in recent years that predict the looming decline of American science. Drawing on their extensive analysis of national data sets, Yu Xie and Alexandra Killewald have welcome news to share: American science is in good health. Is American Science in Decline? does reveal areas of concern, namely scientistsâ low earnings, the increasing competition they face from Asia, and the declining number of doctorates who secure academic positions. But the authors argue that the values inherent in American culture make the country highly conducive to science for the foreseeable future. They do not see globalization as a threat but rather a potential benefit, since it promotes efficiency in science through knowledge-sharing. In an age when other countries are catching up, American science will inevitably become less dominant, even though it is not in decline relative to its own past. As technology continues to change the American economy, better-educated workers with a range of skills will be in demand. So as a matter of policy, the authors urge that science education not be detached from general education.

555 class D amplifier

One of the applications of 555 timers is a class D amplifier. In its most simplistic form it can be built with a single 555 and the 200mA current capability is enough to drive a small speaker, making it a good replacement for a low power amplifier. But I wanted more; I wanted to use it to build an amplifier that had enough power to allow listening to music in a small room. Adding a high power stage to a classical 555 class D amplifier was too easy, so I decided to build my own high power 555.
