According to an IHS report, semiconductor magnetic sensors used in automotive motors will grow by about 38% in 2012. Magnetic sensors help improve car safety, convenience and fuel efficiency. As a result, IHS expects revenue derived from the use of magnetic sensors in automotive motors will reach $160.3 million next year (compared to $116.0 million this year). By 2015, magnetic sensor revenue in automotive motors will grow to about $193.6 million.

Automotive motors generally use Hall integrated circuit (IC) sensors in a three-phase motor for commutation. A three-phase motor typically has six states, measured by three digital Hall ICs for closed-loop regulation. In some cases, magnetic sensors may not be required, and Hall ICs may be replaced by simple current measurement in the circuit. For example, DC motors that operate in an environment with constant speed and no load changes (such as a fan that constantly rotates) can infer the required knowledge of speed without the need for sensors.
In advanced motors where load changes and knowledge of torque is needed, the use of Hall ICs or anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors is required in order to measure the motor position of the shaft. As a result, the use of AMR will increase in the next five years. An example of its use is for the tachometer motors used to indicate speed and RPM instruments, for reasons of motor quietness.
NXP Semiconductors of the Netherlands is a major provider of AMR sensors, while Hall sensor IC alternatives are supplied by Micronas of Switzerland, Infineon Technologies of Germany, U.S.-based Allegro Microsystems, Melexis N.V. of Belgium and Japan's Asahi Kasei Microsystems.
The automotive industry currently accounts for half of semiconductor magnetic sensor market revenue. Each low-end to midrange car includes over ten electric motors on average. They are used for fan cooling, the alternator and front and rear wipers. Luxury cars have almost 100 motors (for HVAC blowers, electronic steering and throttle control, and transmission sensors for automatics and new double-clutch systems). Other uses include seat positioning, sunroof, tachometer, headlight positioning, headrests and even control of air input flaps based on air quality information.
Magnetic sensors are also used in shaft position encoding (ie: power windows). The sensors are used to determine how many complete turns a shaft has made in order to control the length of travel of the window lifter. Unusual loading conditions due to the presence of a hand also can be detected by the sensor to provide anti-pinch functionality, which results in the motor turning backward if an obstruction is encountered.
Electronic power steering is also a fast-growing direct motor application. It replaces electro-hydraulic alternatives that use a pump to build pressure in order to provide for greater fuel efficiency. The sensor requirement is in commutation of the motor and also in sensors that detect current.
In hybrid electric vehicles, magnetic sensors are used to monitor auxiliary motor inverters, where the battery direct current needs to be changed to the motor alternating current. Such a conversion requires the use of three current sensors — one for each phase of the motor.

Missing twins' father surfed sites on poison, suicide
The father of missing Swiss twins consulted websites on travel to Corsica as well as those detailing suicide, poisoning and firearms, shortly before the girls' disappearance, Swiss news agency ATS said Thursday, quoting the twins' uncle.
"We cannot exclude that there was preparation," police spokesman Jean-Christophe Sauterel told AFP.
He however, would not confirm the elements which ATS say have emerged from investigations of a computer belonging to the father Matthias Schepp.
The twins' uncle, Valerio Lucidi, spoke of "terrible premeditation" on the part of Schepp and described latest news of alleged traces found on the computer as "very very worrying."
According to ATS, on the Friday before the twins' disappearance on January 30, Schepp had surfed on websites detailing information on how to take a ferry to Corsica. He also consulted sites that discussed suicide, poison and firearms.
The traces were found on his work computer which was on his table, although the files had been erased, said the news agency.
The twins' uncle also revealed that there are more details regarding the return of Schepp from Corsica.
Lucidi said police had told him about the new element, although they did not give further details. "There are no dates, whether it was 1 or 2" February, he added.
He also indicated that due to "media pressure," the family was leaving St-Sulpice, where the twins lived with their mother, Thursday.
According to a family friend, the mother left for an undisclosed site on Thursday afternoon.
Witnesses have come forward to say that they had seen Alessia and Livia on board a ferry between Marseille and Corsica with Schepp, who later killed himself in southeastern Italy last week.
A three-country search for the twins had been launched after Schepp failed to return them to his estranged wife on January 30.
Earlier Thursday, Swiss police said they have halted their ground search for the girls, and will shift the focus of their probe after witnesses confirmed the girls had been last seen in France.
"Everything about concrete searches on the ground has been stopped," said Sauterel.
"All that could be done in our view, has been done today," he added.
Swiss police had deployed helicopters, dogs and teams of inspectors to scour areas close to the village of St Sulpice, in western Switzerland.
The spokesman said that police are now working on "understanding what has happened... to find places where the father liked to go to with his daughters."
He added that it was "essential to reconstruct the journey taken by the father in order to find the girls."
The mother of the twins, Irina Lucidi, made an emotional plea on Italian television Wednesday, urging viewers to contact the police if they had any information that could bring an end to her ordeal.
"I appeal to whoever has seen them or knows something to contact the police," an emotional Irina Lucidi said on a RAI 3's primetime show.

Time is moving,
I cannot stop,
As the sand
Slips away from my hand
And I can not hold;
What to do?
What to do?
I loved you,
But could not help you;
My efforts were not enough;
So I was of no use.
It is good you chose others,
And moved forward with time;
But I could not;
What to do now?
I could not hold the time
And it slipped away;
What to do?
I am now of no use;
What to do?

I had gone 39 years without having a major fight with my mother. Sure, when I was a teenager, we fought. But that was more of an annoyance for me – clean your room! Don't steal the car again! Do your homework! Whose cigarettes are these? But we always made up and I usually talked to my mother almost daily as an adult. That is until the day I came home from the hospital with my newborn son, after spending three days in the hospital, following a c-section.
We had the blowout of all blowouts and for a few days I actually contemplated disowning my mother.
One of my other friends also had a major blowout with her mother the day she came home from the hospital after giving birth, and she hasn't talked to her mother in over a year now. My friend and I talked about our fights with our mothers and wondered why oh why did they have to start with us on the worst day possible. Not only are you completely hormonal after having a baby, you are sleep deprived, and coming off drugs, and really, there are better times to get mad at your daughters. Another woman I know also recently got into a huge fight with her mother, who she used to talk to daily as well, and now they barely talk or see each other at all. This woman is 46 years old.
I won't get into exactly what my mother's problem was with me (only to say there was a litany of complaints.) I was so upset, bawling my eyes out, that my fiancé had to take the phone away from me and tell my mother that now wasn't the best time to talk to me. Perhaps my mother did have some valid points. However, it was the timing and what she said – some things were so harsh and hurtful – that I wonder if I can ever forgive her and my father (who backed up my mother) completely. We still talk now, but not every day. The conversations are stilted and awkward, and the visits are few and far between.
My mother's complaints about me, no matter how valid, could have waited for a better time, perhaps a week later since apparently her problems with me have stemmed back for years. Why not wait to tell me her issues with me when I'm rested and feeling better? Not right after I had major surgery? Also, when you are an adult, you realize that issues are a two-way street. While she yelled at me for things that she thought I was at fault for, I yelled at her for things she was at fault for. As an adult, you are stronger and can argue more coherently than when you are a teenager. No longer can you just say to your mother, "You're a bitch! I hate you!" because that is childish.
I never saw this fight with my mother coming, especially at this age. I couldn't believe we almost got to the point of disowning each other. What happened after was this. We didn't talk for more than a week (it seemed like months to me.) I had never been so hurt and angry in my life, and I'm sure my mother felt the same way. So what we did, basically, was eventually apologize to each other tearfully and basically swept the problems we had with each other under the rug. In some ways, it's just easier to do that, no matter what any therapist may say.
The problem is we still do get together for family gatherings, including birthday parties for family, or have to see each other at children's concerts for example. I want my parents to be part of my children's lives, but the truth is, I wonder if our relationship will ever be the same. Truthfully, I can still barely look them in the eyes, remembering what they had said to me five months ago. So family gatherings, including Thanksgiving, must be hard on many families in positions like mine. If I know a handful of grown women who have gotten into major fights with their parents at our age, there must be many others who have as well.
What depresses me the most is thinking that one day that could happen to my daughter and I. That's the one thing that makes me try hard to forgive my parents for picking the absolutely wrong time to decide to tell me all their "issues" with me. I'm still hurt, but at family gatherings I do try my best. And maybe I should be thankful that at least, no matter how painful it is for me to still be in the same room as them, we can be in the same room. Unlike two of my friends who haven't talked to or seen their parents in over a year.
So, all I can say, is be grateful this Thanksgiving if you do get along with your parents and haven't had the big blow out that has changed your relationship possibly forever. It is sad, but I guess it happens.

Kraftwerk became eligible for induction in 1995. This is the band's fourth nomination.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bio:
"Kraftwerk is the foundation upon which all synthesizer-based rock and roll and electronic dance music is built. Founded in Düsseldorf in 1970 by the band's two core members, Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, the group was a part of a new wave of musicians in Germany collectively referred to as Kosimsche Musik (cosmic music) who explored the intersection of rock and roll and the avant-garde.
Their first three albums capture the sound of an experimental proto-punk jam band riffing on the sounds of Hawkwind and the Velvet Underground, but their fourth album Autobahn (1974) established the beginning of something entirely new (created with longtime friend and producer Konrad "Conny" Plank). The twenty-two minute title track combined the diverse influences of the Beach Boys and Karlheinz Stockhausen into the creation of an electronic musical odyssey. It also represented a miraculous use of technology through its amalgamation of Moog synthesizers, multi-track recording and traditional instrumentation."

AN: JJ/Reid story AU. Reid does not graduate highschool at 12, so he and JJ are the same age when they meet and struggle through their senior year together.
"One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life." E.M. Forrester
Spencer had grown 5 inches since the beginning of last year and because of it he had saved very carefully over the summer, out of his tight budget he managed to purchase some new clothes for the start of his Senior year. He had a feeling few people would recognize him as 3 of the inches he had grown had been over the summer, and that was quite alright with him. He intended his Senior year to be a good one, awaiting only one more college acceptance, but the most important, from Caltech he had his future now partially mapped out. He stirred some oatmeal on the stove and his cheerful mood faltered thinking that he would have to figure out what to do with his mother while he was off at college, yes that was the hurdle for this year and quite possibly the hardest challenge he had had to face yet.
After seeing to his mother's breakfast and early morning necessities he set off for the familiar half mile walk to the highschool. Chemistry, was first period and every other day a double period due to lab. He walked into the classroom greeted by one of his favorite teachers, Dr. Carter.
"Spencer…how was your summer?" He asked jovially.
"Very good sir." Spencer stopped at the desk to talk with well…really, his friend. Dr. Carter had been his Science teacher his very first year of highschool and had mentored and befriended the brilliant boy all the way through…if it hadn't had been for Dr. Carter Spencer knew high school could have been a horrible place for him. Oh he still had to contend with bullies and teasing but he knew he had a real ally in the building and it truly helped make things more tolerable.
Spencer took a seat at the first row of lab tables and started taking out his notebook and pens. The other students filed in taking up seats and settling in, the first day of school was usually pretty boring, uneventful. The bell rang and Dr. Carter pulled out his attendance list and then the door opened and a girl with blond hair walked in, she was late and she blushed as she approached Dr. Carter with some papers. Spencer recognized her from the Library, he didn't know her name but knew she was pretty studious, though they had never had a class together.
"JJ?" Dr. Carter greeted her.
"I'm sorry I'm late but my schedule got mixed up and I'd like to take your class." She stated expectantly.
"Yes I think I can arrange that Miss Jareau." He smiled.
Spencer noticed they seemed to know each other, he thought and remembered her coming into the Library a few times quite late wearing a soccer uniform, probably after a game, it had impressed Spencer at the time because not many of the jocks were that conscientious. He knew Dr. Carter coached the girls soccer team.
Before he knew it the blond girl was walking his way.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" she said shyly, and then her tone and voice went almost inaudible… "I have to sit near the board." She admitted.
Spencer just stared, he didn't interact with a lot of his peers and so was unaccustomed to conversation with them.
"No?" JJ answered what she thought he might be thinking and sighed.
Spencer snapped out of his trance and said, "Uh…the seats not taken."
JJ smiled and said, "Thanks…I'm Jennifer but all my friends call me JJ."
Reid placed the name in his mind…he had heard it shouted out at a few pep rally's he had to endure. She wasn't just a jock she was a star jock. His heart sunk a little, thinking that her taking up residents next to him would surely draw unwanted attention upon himself for the entire year. He wished he had been quick enough to make an excuse when she had inquired after the seat but she had seemed so polite and her shiny hair had distracted him he had been at a loss for words.
Once settled they began taking notes and then the inevitable lecture on safety. This was after all advanced Chemistry and they would be using some dangerous chemicals for more complicated experiments this year.
The rest of the day had gone quietly and wanting to get a jumpstart on his new classes Spencer headed off to the library right after school. He had been there only a quarter of an hour when a group of girls walked in together. They were giggling and talking and the librarian shushed them. They sat one table over and he noticed JJ was with them. He stole one glance and then put his head down to his book trying to become invisible.
"JJ you have to start wearing your glasses, it's gonna start effecting your game. You hit the goal post twice today when I know you could have made that shot."
Spencer could not help himself, he looked up to see JJ blushing furiously and bringing her finger to her lips to quiet her loud friend. "Sheila, please we have to be quiet. I can't get kicked out I have to study,"JJ pleaded with her friend.
Spencer put his head down again hoping that JJ's friend would take her sensible advice and be quiet, although he couldn't help but think of why his new lab partner wouldn't wear her glasses, his lay aside of his book now, not needing them for close work but slipping them on for anything further than 6 inches away, he suspected distance was her problem as well as the loud girl had mentioned it had started affecting her game which he had suspected was soccer, hence; 'hitting the goal post'. Spencer shook his head, chiding himself for wasting time thinking on the matter and coming to the conclusion that the reason was tied up with vanity. JJ was very pretty and she probably didn't want a pair of glasses spoiling her features, silly…another vain jock Spencer thought.
A half an hour went by and Spencer had gotten lost in his Chemistry text, finishing the first three chapters . His reading speed had increased proportionally to his height and he had learned to scan pages, using just one finger to anchor is vision. He put his glasses back on and was going to get up and stretch when he noticed JJ was all alone now, the loud girls had left and she was quietly taking some notes out of what looked like there Chemistry book. She looked up when he had pushed his chair in and to his surprise she waved to him. He looked behind him thinking it was someone else she was saying 'Hi' to. He heard her giggle and he turned back around.
She was standing just feet away now and it had startled him.
"Ooh, I didn't mean to startle you." She smiled. "You're Spencer right? I think I saw it on your notebook today in Chem…" she said
"Um yeah…Spencer… Reid." He stated. He felt the top button of his short sleve oxford constricting as he spoke, his throat all of a sudden felt like a desert.
"I hope you don't mind I took the seat next to you today…I know that probably means we'll be lab partners…is that okay with you?"
Spencer stood confused, he wasn't used to someone talking to him so kindly, most kids would draw him into conversation to make fun of him or use him for his knowledge…sometimes he was taken by surprise by the sleight and sometimes he felt it coming but obliged anyway…just lonely for someone to talk with.
He was wary and his answer came out a little mean, "Well you have to sit close to the board and all the other people were paired off , so I guess it doesn't really matter what I think." He finished.
She looked a little hurt and Spencer felt uncomfortable, maybe he had been wrong about her, but it was so hard to tell sometimes.
"Okay." She said softly, the smile replaced with no expression. She walked back to her seat and flipped through her textbook not looking up again.
The month of September had flew by and school was in full swing. Spencer had been having a harder time than usual settling his mother in for a morning of reading before he left for school and so worried long after the morning bell rang. One morning in mid October he thought he would have to call in sick when his mother was so agitated she spilled her hot coffee all over his arm, it burned and he rushed to the sink to douse it with cold water, knowing that it was the proper first aid for such a burn. His mother settled down not even realizing she had burned him. By the time he had gotten her resettled and changed his shirt to long sleeves he had to walk at a clipped pace. He had made time by taking a short cut to school and collapsed in his seat in Chemistry thankful the class was empty for a few minutes so he could calm his nerves and collect his thoughts. His arm stung and the feeling of the material pained against the red skin. He lifted up the sleeve for some relief before anyone entered when JJ walked in quickly.
"Hi Spencer." She was always so nice to him even though he barely spoke to her, but he had gotten used to her cheerful chatter over the last month and had begun to like her, she was quick minded and very studious.
She saw the red mark on his arm as he tried to quickly slip his sleeve over the burn, but his wince gave it away.
"Spencer, you hurt yourself…" she said softly. Spencer grew hot with embarrassement.
"Are you in pain?" She leaned in from her seat next to him. "Would you like to go to the Nurse?" Her head tilted and her voice sounded worried.
He would have to explain, "I just spilled some coffee on myself this morning." He tried to sound fine but the throbbing in his arm was distracting him.
"Awww." She cooed softly. She got up and went into the lab closest and got a towel. She ran some cold water on it and came around to Spencer on the other side. "If you roll up your sleeve I can place this on it very gently and it will feel better."
Spencer was at a loss, no one was so kind or gentle with him and for the first time in he didn't know how many years he rolled his sleeve up and let her help him. She gently wrapped the cloth around the angry red burn and then walked to her backpack and retrieved a little packet of Tylenol from her bag. "This will help with the pain so you can focus on class." She smiled. She then found a cup in the closet and filled it with water from a bottled water she had in her bag. On complete auto pilot Spencer took the cup and the medicine.
"Thank you Jennifer." He whispered.
She took the cup back, "You have to call me JJ now Spence." She laughed.
He smiled, "Thank you JJ." He said.
By the time Dr. Carter had started the lesson Spencer felt better, the pain medicine had kicked in and the cool cloth felt soothing under his shirt sleeve. JJ watched and when Spencer had to use two hands for the experiment they were working on JJ would anticipate and she would help him with the other beakers. Dr. Carter commented to the class that they showed real team work in doing their work together.
The fall was in full swing and with it soccer season. Spencer hadn't seen JJ at the library in about a week, he had heard that coach Carter was training them very hard. Sometimes, if Spencer left the library late he would take the side door to exit, it backed up right on the soccer field. He tried not to be obvious but he would sometimes glimpse her blond hair flying out on the field or hear her name being called by one of the other players.
Tonight he had decided to take the side entrance, the weather had turned rainy but as soon as he opened the door he could see the team was still on the field. As he was walking by Dr. Carter had blown the whistle for the girls to leave, suddenly Spencer's path was filled with girls in purple shorts running to avoid what looked like might turn into a downpour. Spencer tried to see if JJ was in the crowd, why he didn't really know but he had taken to checking up on her, just to see if she was ok that was…
"Hi Spence", he heard from behind him. She came around, flushed from the running, perspiration on her sleeveless shoulder, her hair tied back in a pony tail. Spencer swallowed trying to seem like he hadn't been looking for her…checking on her.
"Oh Hi JJ," His voice squeaked on the JJ and he berated himself.
The wind had kicked up and it was colder. He saw JJ shivering from sweating.
"You'd better run ahead JJ it's cold and you're damp from running." He said with a serious tone.
JJ nodded and ran on ahead, following Spencer's advice. The heavens had held off from opening up until Spencer was only a quarter mile from home but when it did it was tremendous. Spencer pulled up his collar and scrunched down into his jacket, it was raining so hard his glasses where getting blurry, he had to slow down and wipe them off every few seconds.
"Spence." He heard a voice and turned to look next to him, it was JJ in a sedan, on the passenger side.
"Come on, you're getting soaked, my mom can give you a ride." She smiled out the window.
Spencer hesitated for a minute but at the rate he was going he'd be drowned by the time he got home. He ran to the back door and hopped in the back seat.
"Mom, this is my friend Spencer, we take Chemistry together. Spencer this is my Mom." JJ said.
"Very nice to meet you Spencer." No sooner had JJ's mother greeted Spencer than hailstones started hitting the car. JJ let out a little shriek.
"Don't worry JJ it's just hailstones," Spencer reassured her, they were unaccustomed to them in Las Vegas. "The air is experiencing a cold front, so all the water molecules in the clouds are forming ice pellets and well essentially falling due to gravity."
JJ had her hands over her head, the noise of them falling on the car was disconcerting, even for Spencer and JJ's mother. Spencer could see they were small and probably wouldn't damage the car.
"It will be over soon." He tried to soothe JJ.
It stopped as quickly as it started and JJ's mother headed back on the road. They dropped him off at his front door and waved goodbye. JJ's mother had that pretty blond hair too and Spencer could tell she was where JJ got her gentle nature, before he had left the car her mother had made him promise to change his wet things as soon as he got inside and have something warm to drink. He smiled at the thought of it, but as soon as he walked in the door he was met with a flying book. He sighed knowing that his mother was on a tirade. She believed the government was trying to steal things from her and she would practically tear the house apart looking for cameras and wire taps. Tears welled in Spencer's eyes and he felt so very guilty for wishing that he could have gone home with JJ and her mother and just had a peaceful evening for a change. Instead he walked into the apartment and dutifully calmed his mother down and started to clean up.
JJ and her mother double backed to elm street.
"He seems like a sweet boy…very polite." JJ's mother offered.
"Yeah…Spence is great." JJ smiled and unwittingly didn't see her mother's knowing glance.
By Thursday everyone had had enough of the bad weather and Spencer watched the rain pelt at the windows in the Chemistry room. The bell rang and Spencer looked around, not sure why JJ wasn't in her seat, then in a flash she strode in quickly and managed to be seated before Dr. Carter came out from the back room.
As their teacher wrote out the lab procedure on the blackboard Spencer looked over to JJ.
"Hey…" he said.
" Hey..ugg…", she said in a nasal alto.
Spencer turned to get a better view and saw that she looked pale, was clutching some tissues and was rummaging for something in her bag.
"JJ, are you alright." He asked worriedly.
"Yeah I'm OK, just forgot my water bottle." She said and then coughed , moving away from Spencer.
"Here you can have mine…I didn't open it yet." He handed it to her, trying to smile.
"Thanks Spence"
He didn't see JJ again until he was heading for his locker at the end of the day, she was at her locker with her head resting on the metal.
Spencer approached, "JJ are you alright?"
She looked up to him and was about to shake her head no when a crowd of girls came by.
"Cmon JJ we have to suit up, let's go the scouts from the local colleges are out their today, we have to make each other look good." Sheila said.
Spencer didn't move, the other girls trailed off toward the gym.
"You're not playing today?"
"I have to, no choice." She croaked, her voice now only a whisper.
"But your ill, and the weather is bad out JJ, I don't think it's a good idea."
JJ smiled but waved him off, "I'll be OK Spence, I just have to have some gator aid…just a little tired." She said weakly.
Spencer put his hand to her head, he tingled with the feel of her under his palm but he shook off the distraction and continued. "You feel warm." He said worriedly.
"I have to go…it's our most important game." She tried to sound convincing but knew she hadn't been. She grabbed her bag and trudged down the hallway.
Spencer shook his head. He would never understand the jock mentality. He left for the Library determined not to think about JJ, if she was going to be reckless with her health there was no way he could stop her…
He sat in the library for two hours trying not to think about JJ and doing nothing else but think about her. While he was sitting there a couple of boys came in and were talking about the game.
"To bad that was cancelled for the weather that was awesome…I love seeing girls in shorts slide in the mud." One of the guys had exclaimed.
"Yeah, did you see JJ go down, she is one sweet piece of meat."
Spencer felt rage in his blood. How could they talk about her like that, not even caring if she was hurt. Spencer couldn't just sit there, he did care if she was reckless about her health and there was something he could do about and he would. He stormed out of the library and followed the hall towards the gym. The halls were deserted, he figured he had missed her but was relaxed by the idea she was with her mother and probably on her way home to bed.
He turned the hall to head out to the main entrance and there she was leaning against the wall, presumably waiting for her mother.
"JJ" Spencer ran to her, not caring about being nonchalant or cool.
Her eyes were glassy and her forhead had little bead s of sweat forming on it.
"Spence," As she said his name she slid down in a heap on the floor.
Spencer gently took her bag off her lap and checked her forhead, "JJ, you're burning up."
She looked up at him, her eyes had tears in them, "I don't feel well Spence."
" I know JJ," He took her hand and squeezed it gently, "Is your Mom coming soon?" he asked, hopefully.
JJ nodded and shivered.
"Where's your jacket?" Spencer searched her things and looked in her bag. She shook her head not sure where she left it.
Spencer took his own jacket and put it on her front, she seemed to be dozing and then her eyes opened.
"Spence is my mom here?" JJ whispered, her throat Spencer imagined was raw by the way she was swallowing hard.
He checked outside and saw Mrs. Jareau's car heading down the school entrance.
"JJ she's here." Spencer announced but JJ was resting. He knelt down and tried to shake her.
"I don't think I can get up Spence…Mom needs to help." She said sluggishly. Spencer could see the fever had spiked, and with a little panicked adrenal he scooped her up in his arms and hurried out to the car.
"JJ!" JJ's mother leapt out of the car and ran around to the other side, she opened the passenger door and Spencer laid JJ down on the seat.
"She's very ill Mrs. Jareau, fever, chills, I think a bad throat…she needs a doctor." Reid spoke quickly, genuinely worried about his friend.
"Yes, I'll take her right now." JJ's mom assured him.
Spencer was about to close JJ's door when she called to him.
"Spencer, your jacket." She was about to take it off.
"No..no…JJ, you need that to keep you warm…I have a sweater in my bag, don't worry your Mom is taking you to the Doctor." Spencer spoke gently, remembering how she had only a few weeks ago spoken to him when he had burned his arm. He readjusted the jacket, tucking the sleeves around her so it wouldn't shift and he closed the door.
All weekend Spencer thought about what had transpired, sometimes he couldn't help replay the sensation of holding her, the fragrant smell of her hair or the vulnerable look in her eyes when he had placed her on the front seat of her mother's car. He blinked hard to get rid of the images, they were distracting him from work and responsibilities. He knew he was being foolish, she would never like him as more than a friend. He had worked to hard and endured to much to think of letting something so irrational as a pretty girl interfere with his plans. That was it, he told himself, no more worrying, no more dwelling, she had a family and friends, well her friends weren't much, leaving her at school so ill she couldn't even walk out to the car, but none the less she had her mother to look after her and she would be fine.
Monday came and Spencer prepared and did his Chemistry experiment alone, no JJ. He tried to convince himself it was better this way, no distractions, no extra talking he could focus on improving his method, take extra notes on the ingredients. He finished up and was walking out when Dr. Carter stopped him.
"Spencer…Can I ask you a favor?" He held some folders with papers in them.
Spencer stopped at the desk, adjusting his messenger bag.
"I know you and JJ are lab partners and I was wondering if you could drop off these assignments at her house, I think it's on your way home." Dr. Carter looked up.
"Is JJ alright?" Spencer asked. His brow furrowed and all the emotions and worry he had been blocking came to the front of his mind.
"She will be, her mother called the school today…looks like the doctor wants her in bed for a day or two." He supplied.
Spencer thought about the idea of seeing her, going to her house, his stomach clenched but he agreed and took the folders from Dr. Carter and slipped them into his bag.
Dr. Carter handed him a slip of paper with the address and told him he would call Mrs. Jareau and they could expect him around 5.
Spencer nodded his head in agreement and left for his next class.
When he got to the Jareau's house it was starting to get dark. The air was clear, all the bad weather had been blown out by the wind.
Spencer smoothed down his hair and checked his shirt to see if it was tucked in under his sweater. He rang the doorbell and his heart thundered in his chest. He was surprised when JJ, herself, answered the door, she was clad in pajama pants and a longsleeve t-shirt. She looked so much better that Spencer's shoulders sagged with relief.
"Hi Spence, come on in." she smiled.
"Should you be out of bed?" He queried.
" Oh I feel so much better, I don't know why I have to stay home." With that she turned her head to cough, it sounded a little deep and loose.
"Jennifer Katherine you know you're supposed to be resting." JJ's mother came in from what Spencer could see was the kitchen. The house was very small but had a cozy feel and smelled like lavendar. JJ walked over to the couch and climbed under a blanket that lay rumpled on top.
"Hello Spencer, thank you so much for staying with JJ at the school and helping her out to the car." Mrs. Jareau said earnestly.
Spencer felt a lump in his throat and he wasn't sure why. He didn't trust himself not to squeak out an answer so he just shook his head.
"Excuse me I have to check on dinner." JJ's mother walked back to the kitchen to stir a pot on the stove.
Spencer walked over to JJ and sat on a rocker near the couch he rifled through his bag and handed her the folder with her assignments in them.
"Thanks." JJ took the folders and started to look through them.
Spencer sat quietly next to her, happy to be near her again, he was relieved but a little angry that she had put herself in such a position and he couldn't help himself he had to say it.
"JJ,", he was looking right at her and when he called her name her head came up from the papers. "Why did you play in that game when you were so sick...I mean you could have told Dr. Carter, he would have understood."
"I had to Spence, the whole team was relying on me...I couldn't let them down." she reasoned.
Spencer stared off thinking that she had no idea what those kids were really like, they didn't care about her, they just wanted JJ to make them look good for the college scouts.
"I can see you don't approve, but Spence you don't understand, soccer is my ticket to college, I do well in school, yeah, but I'm no genius like you, I have to work really hard and if you haven't noticed we don't have a lot of extra money lying around. If I don't get a hefty scholarship, I can't go." Her voice went hoarse and she started to cough. Spencer looked up with concern and guilt, he was always so consumed with his own problems he realized he barely noticed others struggling.
JJ's mother came in with some water for JJ and turned to Spencer. "Spencer I made a casserole, would you like to stay for dinner?" she asked him.
Spencer didn't know if JJ still wanted him there, he looked to her and she was smiling, inviting him with an expectant look.
"Yes, thanks Mrs. Jareau."
On his way home after dinner Spencer thought about the evening. It had been so calm, the house was small but neat, the dinner was tasty and their was even cookies homemade for dessert. JJ and her mother had talked and laughed about an old T.V. show JJ had watched while she was getting better on the couch. He had even done a little magic trick for them at the table while they had their cookies, they seemed to like it very much. Tears came to his eyes halfway home, how could he be angry with JJ for trying so hard, wasn't he doing that every day but in a different way, sitting in JJ's house tonight made him see so clear what he didn't have and probably never would and it hurt down deep, he swatted at the tears coming down, feeling desparate that one of the best nights of his life had to be ruined by these thoughts. He would have to enjoy what he had and move on, there was no sense in wishing the hours away. He unlocked the door to his apartment and all seemed quiet, his mother had gone to sleep reading in bed, he lifted the book from her chest and covered her with a blanket. He got ready for bed and slipped under the cover but before drifting off he thought about leaving JJ's house that night.
"Thank you for the dinner Mrs. Jareau, it was very good." He had been honest.
"You're very welcome Spencer." She had said on her way in to the kitchen to do the dishes.
"Spence, thank you for everything, and for the homework too. I better do some tonight before I fall behind to far." she said as she yawned.
"I...uh...I can help you with it...if you like...on Saturday at the library if you want?" He asked tentatively.
JJ looked up to him, a little surprised. "You will?"
"Sure." he looked away unable to meet her gaze.
He couldn't help himself, "You should get some rest."He smiled as she nodded her head, acquiesing. He felt a sense of he wasn't sure what diffuse through him and he really wanted to kiss her, to walk her over to the couch, see to it that she was safe on the couch and then kiss her good night, but he didn't and he knew he probably never would, but it had been enough and he could use the image of her standing there when he needed it, when he was lonely and needed to think of a friend.

An eight-week-old white kitten named Gary came into the world with two distinct markings that make it look like he either had an unfortunate run in with a Sharpie or is permanently concerned/confused. Obviously the Internet loves stories like this, and so Gary's owner conducted an interview with the Daily Mail to explain the kitten's name, as well as his meme moniker, "Concerned Kitten":
"As he grew they got bigger and started to spread out. We started saying how confused he looked so I penned him 'Concerned Kitten' and it's just stuck. Aside from his stage name, Confused Kitten has been given another name, Gary, after Gary Barlow because when the Take That star sings he holds his eyebrows up to get to the high notes."

I spent yesterday roaming around the Capitol building as Tom Wolf took the oath of office as Pennsylvania's 47th Governor. Because of my recent Achilles tendon injury I hadn't gotten a ticket or press credentials because I didn't know if I'd be healthy enough to attend. As it was I limped around using a cane and paid for it by the time I returned to Reading with a very painful ankle. I applied some medication for the swelling though and all is well this morning. Being on my feet remains a challenge until it fully heals.
Still it was great to be back in Harrisburg and chat and visit with many friends and legislators. I got some interesting information, met new Chief of Staff Katie McGinty, congratulated consultant and now Director of Legislative Affairs Mary Isenhour on a spectacular job and watched the inauguration on one of several large screen televisions mounted inside the Capitol. I remained warm on this grey, cold afternoon though it meant missing out on being able to get many good pictures.
The former Governors in attendance were clustered in a corner outside the cafe and I got a few pictures of them.
Former Governor and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge:
Outgoing Gov. Tom Corbett:
I met several of the candidates for state judgeships, chatted briefly with Dan Onorato, the Democratic candidate for Governor four years ago and many others.
Wolf campaigned on the premise that he'd give Pennsylvania a "fresh start" and that he would be "a different kind of Governor." He already has set that tone by not residing in the Governor's Mansion but commuting from his home in nearby York County. He will also continue using his own vehicle, the famous Jeep. He has dictated that no one on his staff accept gifts, heresy in the cesspool of corruption which is our state capital.
He faces a Republican led legislature which increased its majorities in both the House and Senate all the while the progressive Democrat was waltzing away with the Gubernatorial race. As such he said "We have to respect each other's ideas, each other's values" as his approach to building some sort of consensus with the other Party.
Wolf's two biggest goals are to enact a 5% extraction tax on natural gas to fund education and to change the state constitution to allow progressive taxation. Both are poison to the many Teapublicans in the legislature. Sen. Jake Corman dethroned longtime Senate leader Dominic Pilleggi (who may be plotting revenge) to take a harder ideological stance against Democrats. The outlook for Wolf isn't good under these circumstances and he faces a $2.3 billion state budget deficit left over from Tom Corbett's failed administration.
Something has to get done and the way it does will set the tone for Tom Wolf's success or failure. A dramatic success might lead him on a path to higher office.

WhenIt's flexible! We'll work with your schedule.
Where490 S Farrell Dr c208Palm Springs, CA 92262
Community members in California's Coachella Valley are recruited to serve on the board of directors. Board members serve an initial one-year term, followed by two-year terms, if re-elected. Board meetings are held nine to 10 times a year, and members are expected to serve on at least one committee. There is an annual meeting, usually held in April.
Our board of directors also oversees numerous standing committees, such as fund-raising, communications and strategic planning. Committee membership comes from the board of directors and the community at large. Committee service has no set term, and is an excellent way for people to learn about our services, programs, and operations. If you're interested in serving on the board of directors at some point, committee membership is a great way to get started.
Volunteer office aides work a minimum of four hours a week at our main location in Palm Springs, Calif. While tasks vary based on the skills of the volunteer, they tend to include greeting clients; answering the telephone; filing; organizing client records; and data entry for those with computer skills.
Make a connection with isolated older adults on a regular basis by visiting two or three times a month. Time spent together may be in playing cards, watching TV or taking the senior out for an errand or lunch. This volunteer may be the only person the senior will see all week other than care givers.
In this program, We invite all those Jewish resident of the Coachella Valley that do not have an opportunity to sit around a Seder table and bring them to a catered, no cost, Seder. We also have volunteers who will pick up those who need transportation. This program is in partnership with the Temple Sinai Social Action Committee.
In this program a volunteer(s) take two battery candlesticks, a Kiddush cup, a Challah cover a CD player and a CD of a Kabbalat Shabbat to an isolated, lonely senior client, along with a fresh Challah and a bottle of grape juice. Once a month on a Friday afternoon the volunteer(s) and client say the simple Shabbat blessings together and chat, while during the week the client can look at the items and know they are not alone in the community. The volunteer comes back once a month with a fresh challah and another bottle of juice.
Volunteers accept the wish list of three items from a low income senior or child. They purchase the items and anonymously bring them to our office where they are picked up.
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM - JFS Express
JFS is always on the lookout for drivers. Volunteers are needed to drive seniors who do not have transportation to much needed medical appointments, wait for them, and return them home. Such a simple act, for a senior, can really be life saving.
So often seniors cannot, without transportation to go shopping for the basic necessities and/or simple pleasures of life; the supermarket, the library, the senior center. These quick lifts can make life so much easier for the elderly who have no other means to leave their home.
Many home bound seniors need a volunteer who is willing to go and do the shopping for them. Gas reimbursement is available

For immediate release: September 16, 2015
Whether prompted by the changing healthcare environment from volume to value, Population Health, Healthy People 2020, celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disability Act, increased prime time television coverage of Paralympic Sports, or the request of your client to return to a once-loved sport or participate in a new leisure sport, rehabilitation professionals are showing an increased interest and participation in adapted sports as a tool for remediating deficits, restoring function, and improving overall health. Adapted sports and recreation has well-established roots in therapeutic recreation due to the proven benefits in the areas of community reintegration, improvements to activities of daily living, and social integration. Increasingly, occupational therapists and physical therapists are incorporating it into inpatient and outpatient therapy treatment plans and discharge recommendations.
According to the United States Census Bureau in 2010, approximately 56 million people living in the US have a disability. Of these, approximately 30.6 million have difficulty walking or climbing stairs, or use a wheelchair, cane, crutches, or walker. Individuals who have sustained injuries, such as amputation, spinal cord injury, or brain injury or medical conditions, such as stroke, are at a greater risk for developing secondary medical conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity due to limitations in their mobility status. Additionally, due to changes in their lifestyle, they are at increased risk for depression and social isolation. Despite the abundance of studies regarding the positive impact of physical activity, less than 38% of individuals with a disability follow recommended levels of physical activity, compared to 49% of US adults without a disability.1 Barriers to participation for individuals with a disability include mobility limitations, physiologic decline, lack of access or awareness of accessible physical activity programs, and lack of transportation.

1) I do not ever act as a securities broker or dealer, an investment banker, or as any type of financial advisor to individuals or companies when assisting them and negotiating for them in the pursuit of capitalization;
2) I do not ever act as a sales agent in selling units or investment interests in any offering, private or public, of any client;
3) I never approach or even engage in discussions with any unaccredited investors (pursuant to Regulation D of the securities law, or pursuant to any laws of any state which relate to the same type of investor qualification); further, I do not solicit individuals for sums of money, nor do I work on a "commission-only" or "finder's fee-only" basis, which might have me misconstrued as a securities broker — I cannot and therefore do not ever "shop 'deals' openly around the marketplace to multiple prospective sources and hope to earn a fee by luck or by probability. I act as a client's agent and negotiator (pursuant to the terms of an Engagement Agreement) in assisting in the arrangement of capitalization or financing.
Incidentally — any "money broker" who "shops" your company's capitalization or financing requirement around the marketplace is doing you a major disservice. If a prospective source or several prospective sources decline/s to proceed, word travels fast through the industry, and your company gets branded as a "loser" or a "beggar."
This is damaging and unacceptable. You greatly increase the probability of this happening by engaging (at no fee, and without contractual discipline) several of such "mass mail" brokers — and to complicate matters further, if two brokers find the same interested source, the source will want no part of a fee dispute; Frankly, if your company has "shopped its financing requirement around," and has been unsuccessful in attracting interest, I may be reluctant to undertake the engagement at any terms — a capital or financing requirement that is not presented to a very limited number of select, qualified participants under the assurance of industry silence is compromised; I prefer to work in an environment of discretion and confidentiality;
4) I generally will not participate in any capitalization or financing engagement which involves less than US$500,000.00, unless I am engaged by that client to perform other work. I have no maximum limitation;
5) If I examine your company's requirement for financing (I do not charge for this initial assessment), and don't think that the outcome will be favorable, I will: A) tell you what is lacking or required in my opinion, and, B) decline to proceed indefinitely, unless and until certain changes are made. I believe this to be a helpful and time-saving practice; should we mutually decide to proceed together, I will only do so pursuant to the terms of an Engagement Agreement where the client has retained my expert services to A) advise and assist it in preparing and presenting its requirement to specific "targets" which I have identified through my contacts, efforts and expertise, and to B) negotiate with such targets in order to obtain the best possible terms for my client.
I am paid my usual fee for the preparatory work, but I am not paid for my time expended in targeting or negotiations, with the exception that I generally receive a partial Success Fee (as a "bonus") upon obtaining a letter of commitment from the target to my client, and the balance of the Success Fee at the closing, or at each infusion of capital or financing, if such installments are the case.
In Summation:
Sourcing capital or financing for my client is done with the utmost confidentiality, selectivity and expediency. In the current economic environment, or, for that matter, in any economic environment, this is the optimal and most ethical way to proceed, with the highest probability of success.
– Douglas E. Castle

I returned to the office from the Christmas holidays on Jan. 6 to an email stating the producers of a major motion picture were filming in Jackson and needed extras on Jan. 7 for a concert scene in Paris circa 1971.
My brain immediately clicked into "opportunity cost" mode. My desire for stardom and fame had me thinking it would be okay to take another vacation day on Tuesday in order to check this item off my bucket list.
The opportunity cost for me was one day of vacation, not getting caught up on emails right away, and not completing a couple of items on my to-do list. "You only live once" I told myself and sent my headshot with clothing size and measurements to the booking agent.
Within hours I had been booked with a reporting time on Tuesday of 9:30 am.
My son had not returned to college yet and I decided to talk him into signing up, as well. It was important to him that this was a paying gig at $8/hour, which was more than he would be making sitting on the couch at home. The opportunity cost for him was simply not being able to sleep late. In fact, he would be earning money while checking this item off his bucket list.
Two people, same experience, totally different costs. While I had a great time dancing to "Get On Up" throughout the day, I couldn't help but feel like I was losing money. My choice to become a movie star involved costs.
The auditorium full of people were responding to incentives in predictable ways. The young people were there to be paid for an honest day's work while the older people were there for the experience.
We were all there voluntarily and were therefore gaining from this trade of our time and talent for money and experience. My consequences in the future included working late for the rest of the week to get caught up in the office. Would I make the same choice again given the chance? You bet I would! Seeing the movie-making process in action was enlightening. I received a first-hand experience in how the creative economy works in Mississippi.
This was one of many days the filming took place in Mississippi.
Each of those days required the injection of money into the local economy through the hiring of local actors/extras, rental of space, the purchase of food and hotel rooms for the crew, and transportation of extras via tour buses.
At the end of the day we were served a "lunch" of pizza at 4:30 pm. Two weeks later a check came in the mail for 7.5 hours of work at $8 an hour, less FICA.
Rich in dollars, no.
Rich in experience, yes.

Epsilon Euskadi back in style!
Epsilon Euskadi achieved an impressive one-two here today at the Nurburgring. After starting from good positions on the starting grid, Davide Valsecchi and Filipe Albuquerque treated the German fans to a thrilling duel. Miguel Molina (Pons Racing), who had started from pole position, took his first World Series podium spot!
Guillaume Moreau (KTR) got off to a better start than Miguel Molina, but both of them were taken unawares by Davide Valsecchi, who came through from the second row to outbrake them into turn one! The Italian completed lap one ahead of Molina, Albuquerque, Moreau, Barba and the Hanley / Vettel duo who were already at it hammer-and-tongs! Marco Bonanomi (RC Motorsport) and Julien Jousse (Tech 1 Racing) became the race's first victims on lap one.
With two laps gone, the lead five had opened up a gap over the rest of the field. Pavlovic, who had suffered damage to his front wing after a collision on lap one, was forced to come into the pits and abandon, leaving eighth place to Yelmer Buurman (Fortec Motorsport). Charlie Kimball (Victory Engineering) and Daniil Move (Interwetten.com) were the other drivers in the top ten at this stage. Pushed back to 18th on the grid after running into Aleshin at the start of race one, Alvaro Parente (Tech 1 Racing) was by now already back up into 11th.
Filipe Albuquerque finally found a way past Miguel Molina on lap four. This put the two Epsilon Euskadis out front, a sight reminiscent of the good ol' days of Robert Kubica and Felix Porteiro! It was then down to Molina to watch his mirrors for Moreau and Barba behind him.
On lap six, Hanley and Vettel reestablished contact with the Molina / Moreau / Barba group. On every lap, Barba was attempting a move on Moreau at the end of the straight, but to no avail.
Clearly quicker than his teammate, Filipe Albuquerque was starting to look dangerous. At the mid-point in the race, the leaders were separated by only 4/10ths of a second. A little further back, the battle for tenth between Move, Parente and Nuñez was just as enthralling! Parente finally found a way through on lap sixteen.
At this stage of the race, a number of drivers for whom the race was already as good as all over started to come into the pits to switch to fresh tyres and have a go at setting the fastest race lap: Fairuz Fauzy, Clivio Piccione, Salvador Duran and Milos Pavlovic. In the end, it was the Draco Racing driver who prevailed in this "mini-qualifying" challenge.
With five laps left, Vettel moved up into sixth ahead of Hanley, while Kimball snatched eighth place away from Buurman. At the front, Albuquerque was apparently not about to settle for second: the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 winner was clearly attacking his teammate! But Valsecchi held firm to march on to his first victory.
On the final lap, Sebastian Vettel then tried to wrestle fifth place away from Alvaro Barba. The two cars came into contact, but there was no change in the race order before the chequered flag.
Davide Valsecchi: "I made sure I warmed up my tyres well on the formation lap and then I got off to a fantastic start. From there everything went to plan and I'm obviously very happy to take my first win in the category."
Filipe Albuquerque: "I spent the entire race on the attack to try and stay in touch with Davide. I may have been quicker but it would have been very difficult to get past. He drove an excellent race and it's a great result for the team as a whole."
Miguel Molina: "It was a very difficult race. Davide and Filipe opened up a gap right from the start. I also made a slight error which allowed Guillaume Moreau to come back up to me. But this podium finish is very satisfying both for me and the team. I hope we can continue in the same vein in Monaco!"

The Pittsburgh Penguins have advanced to the National Hockey League Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2009 after smashing the Ottawa Senators 6-2 in Game Five on Friday, taking the semi-final series 4-1.
James Neal notched a hat-trick and added an assist to help clinch a place in the Eastern finals for the top-seeded Penguins for the first time since they last won the Stanley Cup.
Brenden Morrow opened the scoring in the seventh minute of the opening period for the Penguins who then scored three goals in the second, which proved the difference.
A power-play goal for Neal was followed by Kris Letang's blast and while Milan Michalek gave Senators' fans some hope to reduce the lead to 3-1, Evgeni Malkin quickly allayed any comeback fears to restore the three-goal margin.
Neal grabbed his second and third goals of the game in the final period.
Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa between Neal's final two goals.
Pittsburgh will meet the winner of the series between Boston and the New York Rangers. Boston lead the semi-final series 3-1, with Game Five on Saturday.

So saw this article a few days ago and wondering what other people are thinking about it.
BES is a good program (If you can install it correctly) and now that it is looking to and management features for Android and iOS devices.
maybe this belongs in the blackberry group but it is not limited to blackberrys.

I think that any kind of management is a step forward and is useful. And one that could support all 3 os would be great.
Ill be interested to see the finished thing first hand.
Aug 4, 2011 at 8:39 UTC
I had heard the same from someone at Verizon, some time later this year they were hearing. It should be interesting to see how this plays out.
Aug 6, 2011 at 8:39 UTC
Hopefully its a little less expensive then "GOOD". Link here. I heard this was one of the best (and one of the only at this time) that does this kind of management.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Change default path ?
I am trying to integrate WordPress into an existing website. The structure is as follows:
Home http://www.notreal.com
CSS http://www.notreal.com/css
Images http://www.notreal.com/images
Wordpress http://www.notreal.com/blog
the names has been changed to protect the uninformed 🙂
My site pages are php and have an 'include header.php' and others which are in the home directory as well. The header.php has a link to my css (<link href="css/stylesheet.css"…>) & an image (<img src="images/picture.jpg" …>).
In my WordPress header.php, I have "include ('../header.php');" (the one from the website home directory). The images do not load & there is no styling. The path to the image is "http://www.notreal.com/blog/images/picture.jpg".
Is it possible to change the path where WordPress is looking? I don't want to recode my existing files or change my directory layout.
- The topic 'Change default path ?' is closed to new replies.
