FRAM ups security for medical ID applications
There are many applications, particularly in the medical space, where ferroelectric RAM, or FRAM, is the memory technology of choice. Unlike EEPROM of flash memory, FRAM doesn't need a high internal voltage for writing operations, thereby increasing both the writing speed and the endurance of the memory. Also key to medical applications is the fact that the FRAM is resistant to...
Does the Battery Fuel Gauge Lie?
Measuring stored energy in an electrochemical device, such as a battery, is complex, and state-of-charge (SoC) readings on a fuel gauge provide only a rough estimate. Users often compare battery SoC with the fuel gauge of a vehicle. Calculating fluid in a tank is simple because a liquid is a tangible entity; battery state-of-charge is not. Nor can the energy stored in a battery be quantified...

Ireland 42-10 Italy, Six Nations
O'Connell bullish ahead of France Test
ESPNscrum Staff
February 25, 2012

Ireland skipper Paul O'Connell believes his side will benefit from having played Italy before facing Les Bleus next weekend as they seek to make it two from two against France in the re-arranged fixture.
The Irish return to the Stade de France tomorrow week after the original fixture was postponed due to a frozen pitch. Rather than face Les Bleus on the back of a dispiriting defeat by Wales, as was the case two weeks ago, they meet the championship favourites having routed Italy five tries to one.
"It's great to get that result going to Paris, so we're probably in a better place than we were the last time we went over," said O'Connell. "It's a good scoreline, there's no doubt about it. The guys are happy with that.
"There's feeling of frustration over the first-half performance and a few of the things we didn't execute. But when we did get out of our half we were good and confident. We took our chances well and kept going at them for 80 minutes, which we haven't always done.
"We have a lot of excellent and classy players and we took our tries well, which was satisfying. It was a good, patient performance."
Tommy Bowe crossed twice while Keith Earls, Tom Court and Andrew Trimble also touched down in perfect conditions as Ireland avoided a fourth successive defeat at Aviva Stadium. But while the final scoreline was emphatic, the performance against a disappointing Italy side was far from perfect.
Coach Declan Kidney praised his side's ambition but accepted it must be reined in on occasion. "We did some simple things well. In the second half we put away our scores very well and we're delighted with that," he said. "There was a bit of wearing down that had to be done in the first 50 minutes, as there are in all Test matches.
"We could probably have done a little more of that in their half rather than ours, but I can't fault the boys for trying to play. We had the courage to play, but what we need to do is get the balance right.
"That comes with playing together and the more time we spend together the better we'll become. But can't go away thinking everything's great just because we scored a few late tries."
Centre Gordon D'Arcy damaged his shoulder but Kidney is unconcerned by the injury, while full-back Rob Kearney's groin tightened up and will be monitored.
Italy coach Jacques Brunel admitted the Azzurri paid the price for a poor second-half display that saw Ireland run in three of their five tries.
"We had two different teams out there. In the first half we tried to play and kept the score close," said the Frenchman. "But in the second half it was completely different, we suffered beneath the Irish pressure and made many mistakes."

WANT to love running but afraid of getting hurt? Maybe you just need to meet your sole mate — the thick-soled running shoe.
The latest trend in running shoes is "maximal cushioning" thanks to soles which are about 30 per cent thicker than traditional designs.
And significantly thicker than a barefoot or minimalist runner such as the glove-like FiveFingers by Vibram, which agreed to settle a close to $4 million class action lawsuit that alleged it made false and unsubstantiated claims about the health benefits of the shoes.
Maximal cushioning was pioneered by Hoka One One with other brands including Nike and Brooks following its lead.
Hoka One One sold $10.6m worth of thick-soled running shoes in 2013 and expects to more than triple that this year and reach $106m in the next couple of years.
Designs include the Conquest worn by Brianna from Tanya Powell Model Agency.
The shoe's sole has a 6mm offset, with a thickness of 33mm at the back and 27mm at the front.
Traditional runners have an offset of about 12mm, measuring 24mm at the back and 12mm at the front.
Chris Chapman who is the founder of national running specialty chain The Running Company, which has a Hyde Park branch stocking Hoka One One, said the pendulum had swung from barefoot to thick-soled.
"People are going from one extreme to the other," he said.
"There are people who had barefoot shoes who didn't ease into running in them and have been injured as a result.
"They have swapped to thick-soled because they have more cushioning to minimise impact on the body and lessen the chance of injury."
Chiropractor Dr Mario Stefano agreed barefoot running, which can strengthen leg muscles and foot ligaments, could be a "shock to feet and muscles" and should therefore be slowly worked towards.
"The new thick-soled running shoe, like any running shoe, will have advantages, along with the barefoot minimalist running shoe," he said.
"Generally a shoe will have a heel strike which takes a lot of force throughout the body, but it has cushioning to prevent much of that impact, while barefoot runners generally often land with a forefoot strike before bringing the heel down.
"Your chiropractor may help prevent injury regardless of your choice by promoting good biomechanics and alignment."

This is a quilt I made for my sister. The original plan was to use the great Colonial panels and 8-pointed stars. After a few months of wrestling with the 8-pointed stars, I decided to make it a sampler and made some additional patches out of simple squares. The stars just seem to be out of my league. Later on, I discovered the joys of paper-piecing, so I might try stars again with paper-piecing.

Police blocked Bay Street in both directions from Grenville Street to Grosvenor Street at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday after another pane of balcony glass fell off a new condo tower, more than 40 stories high, that rises right across from Toronto Police headquarters.
At noon one could still see small piles of broken glass on the northbound lanes of Bay as about a dozen police in reflective vests steered busy noon-day traffic, including the Bay bus, away from the area.
A construction worker at the site said that he believes "faulty glass" is to blame for the rash of accidents that have rained glass down on Torontonians from several condo buildings in the past few weeks. Lanterra Developments said in August that it would remove all the glass from balconies on its building at the corner of Bay and Grenville Street to prevent further recurrences of the problem.
On Tuesday a balcony on the north side of the tower, more than 30 stories in the air, showed a gap where a pane of glass had apparently fallen. Just above that spot was visible the platform on which workers are toiling, removing the glass from the balconies.

Process Management Certification $85
NOTE- You will be given a reference e-book to read which has 182 pages And the test will be based on that e-book , you can take the test only after 10 days Of purchase.
What is Process Management Certification?
Process management refers to the series of skills, tools and techniques used in controlling and managing the different business processes within a large organization or system. This type of management is extremely useful in productivity studies, systems engineering and business analysis. Its major objectives include clearly documenting and identifying the steps and actions that a process management team needs to undertake in order to successfully complete a workflow or process. It should also be noted that the process management approach requires one to first review and assess the performance of the existing business processes by reading operations manual, observing activities within the organization and communicating with the staff. This will allow you to realize that the actual business processes that are being carried out are different from the steps that are written in the manual or any other file. This is because of outdated manuals and the inability of the said manuals to realistically capture the steps and implications needed to carry out a business process.
Anyone who desires to receive a process management certification should know that the entire process requires excellent skills in written communication and analysis. If you are one of the many people who desire to earn a process management certification, then you should remember that the entire process requires proper documentation of all the processes used within an organization, evaluation of the level of time and effort exerted by your staff and analysis of the bottlenecks, efficiency and the overall costs of carrying out the business processes.

A large part of the organisation's work takes place under the auspices of the International Academy of Art Palestine, located in an old renovated house in a suburb of Al Bireh, just outside Ramallah's eternally busy city centre. Since the label's conception in 2012, the academy, in coordination with the Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam, has held two workshops, each for a period of two weeks. During each workshop, Palestinian students, artists and designers hold conversations, lectures and field visits alongside artisans, small business owners and international colleagues.
In 2013, for example, designers Nadya Hazbunova, Diala Isid and Jaroslav Toussaint collaborated with the Arja Textile Company based in Beit Jala, just outside of Bethlehem, to produce a shirt they titled, 'I am an Arab'. The shirt, which comes in either black or white, is printed with the shape of a fingerprint, its lines made from the words of a poem by the legendary Mahmoud Darwish.
In a similar meeting of old and new, Palestinian-Czech fashion designer Nadya Hazbunova paired up with olive wood artisan Iyad Sway of Beit Jala to produce a pair of women's shoes, with chunky wedge heels fashioned from thick sections of smooth olive wood and straps made from strips of kuffiyeh.
'There were a lot of discussions about processes of creation, design and the use of different materials,' says 22 year old Ali al-Diq, a fourth-year student at the art academy who participated in the most recent workshop. 'It was really important for me to meet other artists from across Palestine – we were all working with different mediums and brought different mindsets to the table. It was really useful. It was actually the first time I worked with something in relation to design,' says al-Diq, whose chosen medium is usually photography and video.
Through the workshops, Disarming Design intends to encourage the development of contemporary products through traditional processes of production, in addition to cultivating a stronger design community within Palestine. 'I came to the workshop thinking about cars,' al-Diq relates. 'I have a car, and was thinking of how to use traditional Palestinian design concepts in a contemporary way.' After hashing out his thoughts with his fellow participants, al-Diq came up with the idea of creating car seat covers using traditional Palestinian embroidery.
'I've seen many old women working on embroidery,' he explains. 'Embroidery often tends to be very busy and overly colourful for my taste, even the Palestinian thobe is "busy" in its design… this was a chance for me to bring something new, to use traditional fabrics in a different way.' The traditional method of embroidery, with its complex language of colour and symbolism, combined with a modern-day car accessory, created exactly what al-Diq was aiming for, a contemporary presentation of the traditional.
Positive reception encouraged al-Diq to take on another collaborative project with Disarming Design. Ramallah shoemaker, Imad Rahala, and South African designer, Hannes Bernard, had begun a similar collaboration, combining traditional Palestinian embroidery with footwear to create a pair of retro-inspired sport shoes. With Bernard now back in South Africa, al-Diq has taken over the embroidery work.
While the workshops focus on design and workflow, participants spend the majority of their time visiting artisans across the West Bank, ranging from the Bethlehem Fair Trade Artisans network (a collective of over 130 olive wood workers), the Hirbawi Textile Factory in Hebron (the only producer of the original keffiyeh in Palestine), to the Hebron Glass and Ceramics Factory and the Toukan Soap Factory in Nablus.
'You don't treat heritage as a dead object that you keep celebrating by recreating the same object,' says Majd Abdel Hamid, artist and designer, from his office at the International Academy of Art Palestine in Al Bireh. Hamid is one of the project's three conceptual directors, who, alongside Khaled Hourani, an artist, critic and former arts director of the academy, and Annelys de Vet, a Belgium-based designer and author of the 'Subjective Atlas of Palestine', hope that the collaborative nature of the project will bring Palestinian product designers together, allowing them to share ideas and forge workable partnerships that would have otherwise not been realised.
Hamid also hopes Disarming Design's collaborations will give Palestinian visual heritage a tool to reflect its deeper current realities. 'It's something we don't have within the Palestinian community, design as a discourse,' says Hamid. 'People mainly develop things on their own here.' By establishing lasting, working relationships and connections between Palestinian designers, artisans, craftsmen and craftswomen that exist outside the centricity of Ramallah, in addition to questioning and transforming traditional symbols and materials, Disarming Design hopes to breathe life into Palestinian design.
'We're kind of in a static limbo, we're stuck with symbols, we're stuck with the Palestinian map, we're stuck with Handala… This is an opportunity to actually recreate something and have our own form of deconstructionism, not for the sake of deconstruction itself, but rather to rethink our national symbols and our visual narrative.'
During the latest workshop, 30 year old Mahmon Sharedi of Mazara' al-Gharbiyeh collaborated with Hamid and de Vet to produce olive wood replicas of the Ford taxi vans seen ubiquitously throughout the West Bank. 'Daily life in Palestine takes place within these taxis,' says Sharedi. 'I wanted to express our daily reality with natural, locally found materials. You know, everywhere you look there is traffic and taxis.'
Hamid insists that it's time to move on from the rather played-out, tourist-oriented nature of handicrafts. 'This project provides an opportunity, a small window, to produce something within this community and to put some questions on the table, other than… you know, being preoccupied with making biblical figures for Christian pilgrims and tourists. You can make the sheep, the crosses, the nativity scene… this is fine and it's part of our production heritage. But then how do you go forward from this?'
During this year's workshop, Sharedi collaborated and studied with olive wood workers who are members of the Bethlehem Fair Trade Artisans collective. 'I learnt how to work with olive wood in Bethlehem – how to start with a large piece, which is a bit overwhelming, and then slowly shape it down into the final figure. Collaboration allowed me take my initial idea and turn it into a reality.'
The reciprocal nature of Disarming Design means to not only take inspiration from local craftsmen but to also share with them a new approach to design theory. 'It's important, you know, bringing together the society of Palestinian artists and talking about how we come up with ideas, where we get these ideas from and how these ideas and pieces represent us collectively,' says Sharedi.
'There is nothing wrong with the current products. They're beautiful,' says de Vet, conceptual director of the project. 'The problem is that they often end up in fair trade contexts. You're not addressed as a customer, you're addressed as a good person because you feel a sense of sympathy, not just because they're really nicely designed products.'
The partnership put forward by Disarming Design allows designers to maintain intellectual ownership of the products, while the label focuses on distribution and promotion. Although it was initially created via grant money, the organisers hope it will soon be self-sustaining, a fact which Hamid argues, would allow them to self-strategise instead of being reactionary to, and confined within, donor-funding stipulations. He hopes that such sustainability will eventually lead to the creation of a full-on design programme within the art academy at Al Bireh.
Disarming Design is set to launch its website and online store by the end of the year, and has plans in the works for several exhibitions and mobile shops throughout the Palestinian territories. Partnerships, however, are not limited to the region. The label is also working, and looking to work, with Palestinians designers and artists in Gaza and throughout the diaspora.
'We are not only representing Palestinians,' says Hamid, 'we should also talk with each other. I think art and design are very powerful tools that can allow us to have serious discussions within the community about our political, social and cultural realities.'

What I Didn't Add
- I didn't add a lot of fluffy – "this is what you can do with the content" stuff.
- I didn't add in a bunch of "government guides".
- I didn't make any video showing you what's on all the government sites.
You don't need me to add all the "fluffy" stuff so that I can charge you more. We are all in this together!
- You can download all those guides right off the government websites yourself.
- Once you get on these websites – you don't really need me to teach you how to "surf around".
I did add screen captures of (most) the government public domain sites. I wanted you to be able to "easily and quickly" see what each site might have to offer before you spent a bunch of time on sites you don't need.
I also highlighted exactly the public domain content I thought you should check out first. The government is spending lot's of money adding new things every day… on over 100 websites.
I found several new government sites that I think are important for you to know about.
This is not a guide… It's research done for you!
Material produced by the U.S. Federal Government is in the public domain. This includes all material produced by a U.S. Government employee or officer during the course of performing their duties.
You Can Use This Government Public Domain Content Even If You Live Somewhere Other Than The U.S.!
Every day… thousands of Federal Government workers toil away creating and compiling information.
You might even be one of those that work for Uncle Sam creating some of the best content available on the internet. The government produces mountains of printed material every year and they pay full time writers to create this stuff for the public.
Some of the greatest educational material in the world is produced by the U.S. government and most of it is free for the taking (because it's public domain) with a few exceptions to be aware of…
Yes – even the Government will have some control of the content you can use. Not much – I'd say about 98% of all the content is free for you to use anyway you want.
I show you exactly what to watch out for… it's easy.

A prim, well-bred gentlewoman, Sara Fielding is a writer who puts pen to paper to create dreams. But now curiosity is luring her from the shelter of her country cottage into the dangerous world of Derek Craven – handsome, tough, and tenacious – and the most exciting man Sara has ever met.
Derek rose from poverty to become the wealthy lord of London's most exclusive gambling house. And now duty demands that he allow Sara Fielding to enter his perilous realm of ever-shifting fortunes – with her impeccable manners and her infuriating innocence. But there is a hidden strength and sensuality to the lady that captivates him beyond his better judgment. And in this world, where danger lurks behind every shadow, even a proper "mouse" can be transformed into a breathtaking enchantress – and a cynical gambler can be shaken to his core by the power of passion and the promise of love.
©1994 Lisa Kleypas (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"My favorite"
"Dreaming of You" is far and away not only my favorite Lisa Kleypas book but my favorite Historical Romance as well. I am not overly in love with the narrator, I have never felt that Sara had a posh voice, and Dareck most certainly didn't. I felt as if the narrator just used her stalk "voice" and didn't think it through.
However it still gets a full 5 star rating as the story line and intense characters more then make up for any lack on the narrators part.
"Love it!"
I love Lisa Kleypas. And the narrator does the mans voice so great. Makes cleaning and laundry day go much faster.
Once again, Lisa Kleypas and Rosalyn Landor have out done themselves. I found myself in dismay that the book would end. I will surely listen to it again and again.
"Great book!"
Great characters and the story is mostly believable. I love that Derek is far from perfect & doesn't magically transform into something he isn't. Of course, it does have an over the top finale that seem to be commonplace in Kleypas novels, but still a great read. Narration is enjoyable as well.
This is one of the best stories I have read, and by far the best audio. I have listened to this audio at least 7 times! I just keep coming back to it. I can only think of one book that I have read over my 15 years of reading romance, that I can truely say these same words. And that is Island Flame by Karen Robards. I really love these male heros.
Another passionate, powerful and amazing story by Lisa Kleypas with perfect narration by Rosalyn Landor. This is a must buy for anyone who likes historical romances.
"One of her Best"
I adored this book. It is now one of my favorites. These characters have depth, you care for them. The plot was never slow or boring. It grabbed my heart and held it to the end. I will listen to this one again and again.
Lisa Kleypas is amazing and Rosalyn Landor reads her with perfection. Enjoy!
This second book in the series was a great follow up to the first book in the series. I love how most of Lisa Kleypas characters are crossed referenced in other books. This book drew me in from the beginning. I couldn't put it down. This book was well worth the credit.
"One of Kleypas's best"
For a long time this was my favorite romance novel. After reading --and listening--to this again, it still is one of the very best.
Derek and Sara are wonderful together. The deep love and respect they have for each other is so touching. The dialogue is good and the sexual scenes are top notch. This has a good story and has all the elements of a satisfying romance. The reader does the various voices and accents well. Rosalyn Landor reads a lot of novels like this and does a reasonable job of portraying the emotions of the characters.
Highly recommend this one!
"Very Disappointing Performance"
I gave this book a low rating because I hated the way the male characters were performed and the females were only a little bit better. What I enjoy about this type of book is the characters and the narrator. The males all sounded like they were very old and the lead male was even garbled. I kept falling asleep and never even felt like listening to the end. I was very disappointed with the experience.

Andre Villas-Boas' side will be aiming for their seventh consecutive win on Wearside as the hosts will be out to improve on their poor home form in 2011
Bardsley, Bramble, Brown, Richardson
Gardner, Cattermole, Colback, Larsson Sessegnon
Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole
Ramires, Mikel, Lampard
Malouda, Torres, Mata
Didier Drogba is out of this game as he still recovers from a concussion sustained in the 3-1 victory over Norwich. However, Andre Villas-Boas can welcome back Petr Cech, who's been out since the first game of the season, and David Luiz, who will likely start from the bench as he's played so little football recently. Deadline day signing Raul Meireles will most likely start on the bench with Chelsea sticking with the same midfield that beat the Canaries. Juan Mata will likely join Florent Malouda and Fernando Torres in attack.
- Sunderland have only found the net once this season in the Premier League, that being Seb Larsson's strike on the opening day of the season at Anfield.
- The Black Cats have only gained seven points at home in 2011, with their last coming in April in a 4-2 win over Wigan.
- Sunderland have had eight bookings this season, with Phil Bardsley being the only Black Cats player to see red this season.
- The last time Sunderland beat Chelsea was last season in a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. However, the Blues recorded a victory against the Black Cats in the reverse fixture at the Stadium of Light where they were 4-2 winners.
- Chelsea's Fernando Torres (pictured right) has scored just one goal in 27 games for club and country in 2011.
- Chelsea last won away from home in the Premier League in April when they beat West Brom 3-1 at The Hawthorns.
- Chelsea have won on their last six visits to the Stadium of Light. With the last non-win coming in 2001 when the teams drew 0-0.
- The Blues have received six yellow cards this season.

Woman Crush Wednesday, what is WCW?
Woman Crush Wednesday!
Woman Crush Wednesday stands for a female crush you may have this can be a woman or women. In particular this is for an individual whom you look up to, whom you admire, respect, adorn, find beautiful in some shape or form. This is not necessarily a sexual connotation for a beautiful body or tight abs however there is nothing wrong with this.
In my opinion this is a fun way to give a shout out to a particular female whom you find empowering, beautiful, and most importantly a role model to you whether you may be a man or a woman. This is my first #WCW ever I have to admit I find many women across the globe inspiring however my first is going out to a talent whom melts my heart with her vocals. Bebe Rexha is by far a stunning young woman whom has worked with talented musicians in the industry. Bebe is Albanian-American born in Brooklyn, New York whom began her love for music at a bright young age.
Bebe is working on her debut album, and has already entered the studio with producers such as David Guetta, Fraser T Smith and Frequency, among others. On March 21, 2014, Bebe released her first single from her debut album, "I Can't Stop Drinking About You", via Warner Bros Records. Rexha also released "I'm Gonna Show You Crazy" on December 23, 2014 as the second single from her debut album. I look forward to watching this young beauties career sore in the coming years & most notably enjoying her music.

Source: Good Sports
SILVER SPRING, MD - June 13, 2012 -- The Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) is pleased to announce its partnership with Good Sports, a non-profit group that helps to lay the foundation for healthy, active lifestyles. The two groups will be working together to provide sporting goods equipment, athletic footwear, and sports apparel to disadvantaged youth nationwide. As part of the partnership, SGMA will help connect its member companies with Good Sports, a solution provider for many sporting goods companies looking to donate inventory for operational, marketing or charitable reasons. Interested companies will have the ability to directly reach Good Sports through the SGMA website.
"Having access to a turn-key outlet for donating excess product is another perk of being a member of SGMA," said SGMA President/CEO Tom Cove. "When SGMA member companies donate product to Good Sports, our members will know that the product will be distributed to people around the country who will truly appreciate the donation."
"Good Sports is excited to announce this partnership with SGMA," said Christy Keswick, Chief Operating Officer of Good Sports. "We believe our ability to provide a service to SGMA members and our aligned strategies of promoting sports and fitness participation make for a natural partnership opportunity."
"The primary goal of our partnership with Goods Sports-through which we'll donate equipment from our Easton, Bell, Riddell, Giro and Blackburn brands-is to help kids in need participate in sports and fitness activities. Helping Good Sports reach more youth athletes and decrease costs to their families is reason enough to team up with them," said Donna Flood, Chief Operations Officer of Easton-Bell Sports and a member of the Good Sports Advisory Council. "When you consider the added benefits offered by a cause marketing relationship and the opportunity for our employees to participate in donation events first-hand, it's a win-win for both organizations."
"With our national reach and operational capabilities, we streamline donations for our sporting goods donors helping to limit internal resources while maximizing the community impact," says Keswick. "Our donors fall along a spectrum-some are just looking to make a one-time donation and others a more comprehensive partnership. Most importantly, we want to develop a mutually beneficial relationship and we know that can vary from company to company."
"Aligning with Good Sports is a win-win on so many levels. First, donating some of our excess inventory makes sense because we believe in doing the right thing and helping underserved communities and children. At the same time, it is a great business solution because we are able to donate good, quality yet unused inventory," said Brian Anderson, President of EB Sport Group and SGMA Board Member. "We have seen firsthand through a follow-up impact report we received that this is a great tool for us to share with our customers, suppliers, employees, and our board of directors -- to show them what we are in doing in the community. Working with Good Sports allowed us to move excess inventory, receive a tax deduction for the donation, and, most importantly, make a tangible contribution to the community. All stake holders benefitted."
Good Sports helps to lay the foundation for healthy, active lifestyles by providing athletic equipment, footwear, and apparel to disadvantaged young people nationwide. By partnering with sporting goods manufacturers, Good Sports is able to get the necessary equipment into the hands of the kids that need it most, giving them a chance to get in the game. Since 2003, Good Sports has provided over $6 million worth of equipment to nearly 750 youth programs, impacting more than 350,000 kids. For more information on how you can help support Good Sports, please visit www.goodsports.org.
The Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA), the #1 source for sport and fitness research, is the leading global trade association of manufacturers, retailers, and marketers in the sports products industry. SGMA helps lead the sports and fitness industries by fostering participation through research, thought leadership, product promotion, and public policy. More information about SGMA membership, SGMA Research, and SGMA's National Health Through Fitness Day can be found at www.SGMA.com.

WASHINGTON -- The telecommunications industry must make pagers, cellular phones and other equipment and services easier for disabled people to use under new rules approved Wednesday by federal regulators.
The rules do not spell out specific standards. Instead, they require manufacturers to do all they can in designing products and services to address the needs of the disabled.
The cost of implementing such features would be kept down by incorporating them early in the production process, said William E. Kennard, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
The rules stem from a provision of a 1996 telecommunications law that instructed the FCC to take steps to give disabled people better access to telecommunications services and devices.
Wholesale prices decline
WASHINGTON -- Prices at the wholesale level unexpectedly declined last month while consumers' spending slowed dramatically. With more news like this, the Federal Reserve may be content to remain on the sidelines and not push interest rates higher this year, economists said.
The 0.1 percent decline in the Producer Price Index was the first decline in four months and reflected a dip in energy prices, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
And, the tiny 0.1 percent June increase in retail sales, which accounts for one-third of total economic activity, followed a hefty 1.2 percent gain in sales in May, the Commerce Department said in a separate report.
Cruise line discloses assaults
MIAMI -- Carnival Cruise Lines has disclosed that its crew members were accused of sexual assault 62 times in a five-year span ending last summer, and a former employee who says she was raped claims the company tried to cover it up.
Carnival disclosed the scope of the assaults Tuesday under orders from a judge who is hearing the woman's lawsuit against the Miami-based cruise line. The complaints involved alleged incidents among the crew and between the crew and guests.
The woman, who worked for Carnival for three years before she quit in 1998, alleged a fellow officer raped her last August in her cabin aboard the cruise ship Imagination.

Featherweight freestyle destroyer.
Spend your days lapping the park in total comfort with the Burton Men's Rampant Snowboard Boot. It has a soft flex and tons of comfort-enhancing features to keep your foot feeling fresh from first chair to last.
The Imprint 2 liner is heat-moldable for a custom fit, and it's equipped with low-profile 3M Thinsulate insulation to help your feet stay toasty. Traditional lacing is reliable and the Lock-Up inner cuff keeps your ankle securely in place to reduce fatigue. A softer flex and Articulating Crossbone upper cuff allows you to load up for big ollies and poke grabs without sacrificing the support you need to hit the jump line. Plus, Total Comfort Construction means the Rampant feels perfectly broken-in from day 1 to 100.
Sleeping Bag reflective foil under the footbed reflects your body heat back to your foot so it stays warmer, and the plush Man Fur cuff lining keeps precious heat from escaping. A molded EVA footbed cushions harsh landings and B3 gel in the heel adds extra cushioning for a smooth ride. Not only is the Dynolite outsole 20% lighter than regular rubber outsoles, but it also allows for better board feel and provides better cushioning, even at sub-freezing temps.
- Lightweight park performance with a focus on comfort
- Medium flex handles jumps and jibs alike
- Traditional lacing is simple and reliable
- Heat-moldable liner conforms to your foot
- 3M Thinsulate and Man Fur cuff add warmth
- Shrinkage reduces footprint of boot
- EVA footbed and B3 Gel absorb impacts and vibrations
- Snow-proof gusset keeps snow and slush out of boots
- Item #BUR01NK

Fits like a glove
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Most snowboarding boots seem to have weird spaces at the heel or in the toes that tend to create friction and cause blisters. These fit awesome, no problems so far
