Andrea Bronfman, Charity Giant, Killed
Andrea Bronfman, a giant in the world of Jewish philanthropy, was killed Monday when a car struck her while she was walking her dog in Manhattan. She was 60 years old.
"She was a Zionist — and her parents were lovers of Israel and strong Zionists," said Marlene Post, who worked with Bronfman at Birthright Israel, the 6-year-old program that to date has brought nearly 100,000 young Jews to Israel for free 10-day trips.
Born in London to a Scottish father and a mother from New York, Bronfman and her husband — the billionaire businessman and philanthropist Charles Bronfman — maintained residences in New York, Florida and Jerusalem. They spent about three months of each year in Israel and in 2002 were awarded honorary Jerusalem citizenship.
Twenty years ago, the Bronfmans founded the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies Inc. The foundation has supported numerous programs and initiatives aimed at strengthening Jewish life, in addition to programs not related to the Jewish community.
Bronfman worked to establish a nexus between her concern for Israel and her artistic pursuits. In 2003, in response to the drop in tourism dollars at the height of the intifada, Bronfman founded AIDA: the Association of Israel's Decorative Arts, which has helped expose Israeli artists to North American galleries and collectors and educate North Americans about decorative arts in Israel.
For her 60th birthday earlier this year, Charles announced creation of the "Andy Prize," a $10,000 annual award for an Israeli artist.
After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Bronfman turned her philanthropic eye to the attack's victims. She became founder and deputy chairman of The Gift of New York, a nonprofit initiative to provide free tickets to a variety of cultural offerings and sports events for the bereaved families of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Other initiatives included 21/64, which supports young philanthropists; and Reboot, which nurtures young Jewish leaders outside the mainstream of organized Jewish life.
Friends and colleagues described Bronfman as attractive, dignified, vibrant — and highly intelligent. Those who knew her also spoke of Bronfman's deep devotion to her husband, five children and six grandchildren.
A memorial ceremony was held Wednesday at Congregation B'nai Jeshurun in Manhattan. Burial is scheduled for Friday in Jerusalem.

Sinn Fein has said the family of a woman abducted and murdered by the IRA in 1972 should feel free to co-operate with police in the pursuit of justice.
MP for Newry and Armagh Conor Murphy said he was "surprised" that Michael McConville felt he could not provide information to investigators looking into his mother's death for fear of possible reprisals.
Party president Gerry Adams is being questioned by detectives investigating the death of Belfast mother-of-10 Jean McConville.
Mr Murphy told the BBC's Today programme: "Many people have brought information forward in relation to inquiries and we have said quite clearly over the years that if families wish to co-operate with the historical investigations team - flawed as its approach clearly and officially was found to be - then people should be free to do so.
"Many, many families have co-operated with those investigations and I've yet to hear of one who have suffered any intimidation as a consequence of doing that."
He added: "I certainly feel that the McConville family are entitled to pursue justice in this case. They are entitled to pursue whatever avenue they feel (appropriate) in the case of their mother, and I would certainly strongly urge that no-one interferes in that process at all.
"In cases before where this has happened, no-one has interfered - that I am aware of - in any of these processes."
Mr McConville has said that he was still not prepared to name those involved even though he knew who they were, because of the consequences for his family.
He claimed he was too scared to tell detectives who he believed was responsible in case he or other family members were shot by republican extremists for informing.
However his sister said she is prepared to name the people responsible for her mother's death.

ReviewThis is "THE" truck for serious truck owners. Considering all the "play" trucks from the import market that claim to be a full size truck, the Dodge Ram truely is in every way. I can't believe how well this heavy duty truck drives. Its like driving a freight train carved out of a block of steel. No rattles, creaks or growns. The Hemi motor is unbelievably powerful and the huge front and rear anti-lock disc brakes stop this mammoth truck on a dime. Fit and finish is excelent. After driving the other 2006 full-size trucks, The 2500 HD as a complete package, has no equal.
Best FeaturesThe Hemi motor lives up to all of the hype. Brakes are awesome. Power sliding rear window is great. Seating for 5 adults(men) are comfortable with plenty of head,leg and shoulder room.
Worst FeaturesAll Dodge trucks should come wheel well liners.

Well, if you explode it [the bomb] in Fort Knox, the… the entire gold supply of the United States would be radioactive for… fifty-seven years.
Goldfinger is only a work of fiction. Fort Knox wasn't under the threat of a nuclear explosion (then again, who knows?). Nonetheless, it has been argued that it wouldn't really make difference if the gold in the fort were radioactive – nobody has seen much of it since the 1950s. On December 4 and December 12, 2012 in our two-part story on gold and the U.S. dollar, we highlighted two possibilities: the dollar collapses, gold goes up like crazy or the dollar doesn't collapse, gold still appreciates. In those commentaries, we analyzed the possibilities of gold appreciating and tied possible price levels with a number of factors, for instance with U.S. gold reserves as presented on the chart below.
On December 4, 2012, we wrote the following:
This chart presents the (…) relation of U.S. debt to Treasury gold reserves – the amount of debt per one ounce of gold – up to 2012. The red line represents U.S. Treasury gold reserves in metric tonnes, while the yellow line denotes the amount of U.S. debt in dollars per ounce of gold. The debt per ounce has visibly increased since 1971, accelerating around 2000 and even more around 2008. In 2012, there were $61,796.11 of debt per one ounce of gold owned by the U.S. government.
Now, if a new gold standard is introduced and the agreement works like the Bretton Woods system, the dollar (or whatever other currency) would be tied to gold. As noted earlier in this essay, at the introduction of the Bretton Woods agreement in 1944 the debt coverage for the U.S. stood at 10.9% (or $319.90 of debt per one troy ounce of gold). If the new system were based on similar assumptions with debt coverage at 10%, this would imply a fixed price of $6,179.61 per ounce of gold ($6,179.61 per ounce of gold divided by $61,796.11 of debt per one ounce of gold gives us coverage of 10%).
Since the publication of this essay, we have received a particularly interesting question about the assumptions we used:
Dear Mr. Radomski
Your December 4, 2012 article (…) is exceeding well-written and researched, and I gained a lot of knowledge from reading it. However there is one potential problem I see in all the logic you are applying to the current situation. It seems to me you are assuming the USA actually has gold at Fort Knox and West Point. But there is mounting, but unproven evidence, both places have no gold in them at all, and are rather storage places for nerve gas. (…) An audit of the US gold holdings has been demanded by some for years, but the government will not allow it. The gold belongs to the American people, so why won't they let us see it? Many think it is because it is no longer there. If that is indeed the case, do we not face a "financial Armageddon?" Thanks for reading this and any response you might have. (I am not a conspiracy freak!) (…)
We always appreciate our readers' feedback and would like to thank for it here. We also appreciate spot-on questions and see this particular one as intriguing, to say the least. Which brings us back to Fort Knox.
At first it may sound shocking, but the last audit of gold stored in Fort Knox took place in 1953. No typo here, 1953, just after U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower took office. Even though it is the last audit up to date, it can't be described as satisfying. No outside experts were allowed and the audit team tested only about 5% of gold hoarded in the fort. So, there hasn't been a comprehensive audit of Fort Knox in at least 60 (!!!) years. This is at least surprising, given the fact that large entities listed on stock exchanges are usually required to undergo an outside audit at least once a year. Of course, the U.S. Bullion Depository is no conventional company. Nonetheless, not auditing it independently for more than half of the century raises questions such as the one posted above.
This is no new topic. One of the first written accounts questioning the amount of gold really stored in Fort Knox appeared in 1974 in a tabloid, the National Tattler. An unnamed informant claimed that there was no gold left in Fort Knox. The sensational nature of the story, and of the newspaper, wouldn't perhaps contribute to the credibility of the account but it was later revealed that the informant, Louise Auchincloss Boyer, secretary to Nelson Rockefeller, had fallen out of the window of her New York apartment and died three days after the publication in the Tattler. The tragic incident resulted in controversies over the possibility that the U.S. Bullion Depository may have misstated the actual amount of gold held in Fort Knox. Congressman John R. Rarick demanded aCongressional investigation and, on September 23, 1974 six Congressmen, one Senator and the press were allowed to enter Fort Knox to see for themselves if the gold was there or not.
The tour showed that there was gold in Fort Knox but, all the same, it sparked even more controversies. Only a fraction of the gold reserves were available to see. A photo of one Congressman published by Associated Press suggested that gold bars held in the fort may have been less heavy than would be usually expected.
Quite obviously, this has resulted in even more doubt about the fineness of gold in Fort Knox. None of these doubts have been put aside by any of the audits carried out since 1974. When the reserves were audited, the amount of the gold examined was fractional and there has been no comprehensive bar count and weighting. The same goes for assaying – if a fraction of gold bars were examined at all, then a fraction of this fraction were assayed. The methods used in the assaying process were not conventional. Usually, during an assay, gold bars are examined by means of drilling, which is called the core boring method. But the bars in Fort Knox were examined merely by cutting of small chips of the metal from their surface. This method only proved that the outer layer of the bars examined was made of gold.
This difference in assaying methods is important if you consider that counterfeit "gold bars" have been showing up in New York recently and that fake gold bars turned up in LBMA Approved Vaults in Hong Kong. All these bars had one common characteristic: they were made of tungsten, which has similar density as gold, and covered with a gold veneer. The problem here is that such bars can go undetected if they are examined with X-ray fluorescence scans or by means of simply scraping of a bit of the metal from the surface. So, to properly assess the fineness of gold bars in Fort Knox, a full core boring method should be employed.
In 2012, the German federal court ordered that the German central bank, Bundesbank, conduct anaudit of German gold reserves stored abroad, particularly in the U.S., U.K. and in France. The German authorities have never before conducted a comprehensive audit of their foreign gold reserves and the last time they were able to see their gold stored in the New York Federal Reserve vaults was supposedly in 1979/80. The Bundesbank has expressed that it doesn't doubt the trustworthiness of the U.S. authorities but demands stricter control over its gold reserves. Because of that 150 tons of gold will be shipped from the U.S. to Germany to assess the fineness of the bars.
All of this shows that the measures applied by the U.S. government to gold storage in Fort Knox and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's vaults are questionable and that this fact may have been recognized by German authorities. It's hardly conceivable that there is no gold left in Fort Knox or the New York vaults. On the other hand, the lack of a comprehensive audit of either facility is unnerving. So are other irregularities associated with Fort Knox: missing shipments, audits acknowledging the existence of gold based on seals that were not broken, not on the actual count and examination of bars and so on.
Of course, a full audit of Fort Knox wouldn't be an easy task because of the sheer amount of gold to be examined. But it's feasible. The U.S. Mint estimated the cost of such an audit to stand at $60 million. The Treasury came up with a lower estimate – $15 million. Even if we take the higher value, and compare it to the value of gold stored in Fort Knox (as of December 31, 2012, $240.8 billion) it adds up to about 0.02% of these reserves. In this light the Treasury cannot really claim that this is too expensive.
So, what does all of this mean for the analysis we presented in our essay on gold and the dollar collapse? In short words, not much. Our price target for gold is to be treated as a general indication of where gold might go if the dollar collapses. If the value of the greenback is reduced to paper, we would expect gold to appreciate, but not exactly to $6,179.61. It could appreciate to $5,000 or to $10,000 (in today's dollars). Nobody really knows that. The point is that if doubts about the amount of gold stored in Fort Knox are just that – unproven doubts – gold could be a lot more expensive (in dollar terms) than it is today. If, however, there's any substance in these doubts and gold reserves in Fort Knox are lower than officially reported, gold could go even higher, and the price of $6,000 per ounce of gold could be viewed as the lower bound of where it might go.
The bottom line is that if the dollar collapses and the gold reported to be in Fort Knox is really there, gold could appreciate very strongly. If the dollar crashes and Fort Knox is (partially) empty, gold could go sky-high (in dollar terms).
For more information on how to structure your gold and silver portfolio to deal with both the possibility of the dollar collapsing and the possibility that it will endure in spite of the current U.S. debt levels, please consult our essay on gold and silver portfolio. For information on why we use past gold tops as reference points, check our essay on the 1980 top in gold.

Police are looking for a Santa Rosa man and three young children after they say the man rammed his SUV into the front doors of the business where his estranged wife worked and drove off with their children.
Santa Rosa police Lt. Steve Bair says officers were called to an insurance agency around 11 a.m. Thursday after Jose Alberto Rojo went to the agency and tried to get his wife to come outside.
When the woman refused to leave, Rojo left but later returned with their three children, all girls, ages 3, 5 and 7-years-old.
When the woman still refused come out, Bair says Rojo rammed his Chevrolet Tahoe into the front doors of the building, then drove away. An Amber Alert notification has been activated.
Bair says the 25-year-old Rojo was free on bail in a domestic violence case involving his wife at the time of the incident.

Tutorial: Adafruit Color Sensors @ The Adafruit Learning System.
Your electronics can now see in dazzling color with this lovely color light sensor. We found the best color sensor on the market, the TCS34725, which has RGB and Clear light sensing elements. An IR blocking filter, integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes, minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be made accurately. The filter means you'll get much truer color than most sensors, since humans don't see IR. The sensor also has an incredible 3,800,000:1 dynamic range with adjustable integration time and gain so it is suited for use behind darkened glass.
We add supporting circuitry as well, such as a 3.3V regulator so you can power the breakout with 3-5VDC safely and level shifting for the I2C pins so they can be used with 3.3V or 5V logic. Finally, we specified a nice neutral 4150°K temperature LED with a MOSFET driver onboard to illuminate what you're trying to sense. The LED can be easily turned on or off by any logic level output.
For more flexibility, we've made two different versions of this board: A breadboard-friendly breakout, and a wearable version designed to work with the Flora wearable platform.
Stay tuned, on Wearable Wednesday we're going to have an amazing project you can build these color sensors and FLORA!

The lake at Fort Yargo State Park in Winder will reopen today after a nearby sewer spill forced a weeklong closure.

Park Manager Eric Bentley said park staff made the decision to close the Marbury Creek Reservoir after discovering a sewer leak into one of its tributaries the morning of Aug. 5.
Park staff traced the leak, which they could smell and see bubbling in the creek, to an overflowing Winder municipal manhole, spewing sewage from a burst pipe, Bentley said.
After discovering the leak, park officials alerted the Winder sewer service as well as the state Environmental Protection Division and immediately closed the 260-acre lake. Bentley said no visitors had been in the lake or on its beach when the spill was discovered.
The gated beach area, the only part of the lake where swimming is allowed, was locked, with signs up telling visitors the lake was closed, Bentley said.
According to Bentley, about 3,600 gallons of sewage hit the stream feeding into the lake's northeast corner, a potential danger because sewage can carry harmful bacteria.
The collapse of a 30- to 40-year-old clay pipe caused the overflowing manhole, said Dan Feldman of HS Feldman Inc., the business that contracts as Winder's sewer cleaning service.
A 40-foot section of the pipe - clay pipes are no longer allowed in sewer construction - had probably been weakened by wear and tear over a long period of time, causing the collapse and a resulting blockage that produced the overflow, Feldman said.
"I don't expect it happened in one fell swoop," Bentley said.
Workers have replaced the clay pipe with a more durable PVC and cast-iron pipe. Clay pipes are no longer used because of their lack of durability. But other clay pipes exist in the city limits, since the oldest parts of Winder's sewer system date back to the 1930s, Bentley said.
"It was an accepted practice back then," he explained, noting that a century ago sewer pipes consisted of hollowed-out logs.
But other disasters can lead to sewer spills as well, including heavy rainfall, which can flood the sewer system and lead to overflows.
In March 2003, heavy rain produced an overflow that spilled into the lake and caused another closure, Feldman said.
Beginning Aug. 5, park officials conducted four separate tests on the lake's water quality. Bentley said all the tests show fecal coliform below the maximum allowances set by the EPD.
EPD swimming regulations allow for a maximum of 200 colonies of fecal coliform per 100 milliliters of water for the water to be considered safe, said Bill Noell, a manager with EPD's wastewater compliance and enforcement unit.
Fecal coliform is a measure of contamination by a common bacteria carried in any type of animal waste, and although not too harmful in itself, it serves as an indicator for other more harmful bacteria that can exist in sewage, Noell said.
Bentley said the most harmful bacteria could cause diseases like dysentery and cholera.
The Will-A-Way Recreation Area, a campsite designed for people with disabilities, was not affected during the closure because the recreation area does not lie along the lake's beach area and has pool swimming, Bentley said.

Career advice for engineers
Think Again: Improve the next step in your engineering career and make your current job more fulfilling.
Many engineers are too humble or busy to think much about career advancement. Yet practicing a few soft skills can get you ahead, when the time comes, while making the time in your current position more fulfilling. The Oct. 12-13 CFE Media Career Smart Engineers Conference offered engineering career advice from 11 speakers and other inspiration along the way.
Mark Goodale, principal at Morrissey Goodale LLC, said:
- Showing a vulnerability in a key moment can help you bond with others.
- People don't buy what you do. They're more interested in why you do it.
- Are you getting the most from your own resources? Find what markets are most valuable.
- Lead through trust, rather than fear. Encourage an environment where people can have their say (not necessarily get their way). Not listening and not talking are among the two biggest wastes of time, because if people cannot say no, the yeses are meaningless.
- Be about continuous improvement and finding out what customers want. One year from now, what can you say that you did to transform your company, unit, or team?
- Advance relationships, not just projects, by establishing common ground early, getting others to believe in you, selling your strengths, and closing the deal—showing you've exceeded objectives.
- Create a system that creates astonishing value by encouraging people to resolve problems. Find and resolve workarounds.
- Figure out what it is you really need and get it, setting goals for the next 12 months. Find ways to work toward those goals.
- Open people's eyes to what they're blind to. Educate them on things they don't know they don't know.
Erin , PE, LEED, AP, Arup, said:
- Everyone is a free agent because company loyalty isn't what it used to be. Know what you bring to the table and be able to say it in 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
-You're just as good as what you just did, since people have short memories and can move through positions. Be able to say what you just delivered.
- Every uncertainty is an opportunity to grow, even though ambiguity usually makes engineers uncomfortable.
- Work is just one slice of your life. What are your priorities and needs? How do you want to be remembered by the people who matter in your life?
In your journey, are you engineering value, and do others know it? If not, think again, change some plans, and set a few alarms over the next year to measure how you're doing.

butt rot /b@t rat/ n. a fungal disease affecting the butt, or base, of a tree
bot tom gas /ba2-t@m gas/ n. a type of breathing gas carried in portable tanks and inhaled by under-water divers
The English language is full of words that sound obscene but aren t. Words like arsole (an organic chemical compound), crack spread (a calculation showing theoretical market values of petroleum), cunctator (a person who procrastinates, delays, or wastes time), and spotted dick (a traditional English dessert made with hot, thick custard).
Seventh-grade English teacher Eric Groves, Sr., has spent years listening to his students giggle after he used terms like thespian, coccyx, and masticate. Now he has compiled hundreds of these so-called dirty words into a delightful glossary, complete with illustrated definitions of their true meanings. From air cock (a valve on a boiler) and bushmaster (a large venomous snake) to cummingtonite (a mineral) and beyond, Butt Rot and Bottom Gas is a hilarious reference for word lovers and the snickering seventh grader in all of us.

Subject: [Q-B-I] WILKINSON Sedbergh, WRY & Quaker connections
Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:43:54 EDT
My emigrant ancestor, Thomas W. Wilkinson b. 1767 Sedbergh, Yorkshire,
settled in White Co, IL, where he died in 1840; he was the son of Robert Wilkinson
of Sedbergh. Recent research has shown that Robert's wife was Mary Robinson
(not Mary Wilson, as once reported), b. 1739 Ravenstonedale, Yorkshire, the
daughter of Anthony Robinson and Elizabeth Wharton of Ravenstonedale. Robert and
Mary were married 2 Mar 1767 at Ravenstonedale. They had three known children:
Thomas W., Anthony and William Robinson.
Anthony Robinson, father of Mary, was b. abt 1705; his father was John
Robinson, who was left funds by his uncle, Anthony Robinson of Ravenstonedale,
Quaker, in 1710. John had children: Anthony, Ralph, John, Oswald and Jennet.
Anthony Robinson was friends with George Fox (found of the Society of
Friends); one of his pulpits is very near the Wilkinson home of "Hole House" on the
Lune River in Sedbergh.
Does anyone know more about this Quaker connection? I don't know how many of
the Robinsons were Quakers or if any of the Wilkinsons were.

GAGLIARDI, Ana Carolina Moron; MANCINI FILHO, Jorge e SANTOS, Raul D.. Nutritional profile of foods with zero trans fatty acids claim. Rev. Assoc. Med. Bras. [online]. 2009, vol.55, n.1, pp.50-53. ISSN 0104-4230. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-42302009000100015.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the composition of fatty acids in some foods available in the Brazilian market in which there was a claimed reduction in the amount of trans fatty acids. Also evaluate whether these foods meet recommended amounts for saturated fat consumption, after reduction of trans fat amounts. METHODS: Industrialized food (creamy margarine A and B, plant sterol margarine, stuffed sweet biscuit, salty biscuit without stuffing, French fried potatoes and a burger lunch from a multinational chain of "fast food" all with the allegation of 0% trans fat content were purchased in commercial points and analyzed by gas chromatography. RESULTS: Despite the reduction in trans fatty acid amounts, analyzed foods contained large concentrations of saturated fats mainly palmitic acid. Moreover, some of the foods studied showed a n-6/n-3 ratio outside the recommended for atherosclerosis prevention. CONCLUSION: The unrestricted consumption of such foods has strong deleterious health potential. The absence of trans fatty acid label should be viewed with caution and does not mean a release for unrestricted consumption of such foods.

Could the Stanley Cup go to amateur players?
CTV Montreal
Published Friday, December 14, 2012 9:12AM EST
Last Updated Friday, December 14, 2012 10:43PM EST
MONTREAL--Fans of the NHL are slowly giving up hope of seeing their favourite team winning the Stanley Cup at the end of this locked-out season. But for amateur players, their dream came true as the cup made its way through the Montreal-area.
On Friday in Kahnawake, amateurs filed for over two hours to get a moment with the cup--many of them wearing the uniform for Boston's team.
The boys who play for Les Elites de la Federation de l'Est had no idea what was about to happen as they waited in the dressing room Thursday only to see Mike Bolt stroll in with a large black box.
But inside the Clement Jetté arena, they knew what to do as soon as he pulled out hockey's most famous icon, the Stanley Cup.
"I freaked out!" said Matthew Desua.
"It was amazing to see the Stanley Cup in front of me. I love it . I always wanted to see it!"
The pristine white gloves that Bolt uses to display the Cup were quickly forgotten as they boys got as close as they good, grabbing it, rubbing signatures, hoisting it in the air and kissing it.
"Very emotional to be up close to the Stanley Cup," said Ornella Carmarda.
The keeper of the cup says there are never enough of these moments.
"Just to see the reaction on the kids and the big kids too. I've been fortunate enough to do this job for 14 years and their reaction when you bring the cup anywhere is always a big deal. Especially when it's a surprise," said Bolt.
The team was chosen randomly through a hockey program at Scotiabank.
Their coach, Valerio Desiato, says this is history they can understand.
"For them it's a dream come true. There's not many NHL players who have a chance to lift that cup and these kids at 11-years-old have the chance to see the Stanley," he said.
The Cup made date to 1904, but the thrill of the experience never gets dull according to Bolt.
"The Stanley Cup never, ever gets old."

SCORE: Smart-Grid Common Open Research Emulator
A Smart Grid is a digitally enabled electrical grid that equips with various embedded devices that can sense, communicate, compute and control. Validating, analyzing and evaluating new ideas and technologies in Smart Grid require the modeling and emulating of communication network and power network, as well as the interactions between them. This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of Smart-Grid Common Open Research Emulator (SCORE), the first integrated Smart Grid emulator of both power and communication network. Comparing to the existing works of co-simulation of Smart Grid, SCORE (as an emulator) will significantly reduce the development and test time of new ideas, since the same application program running in SCORE can be easily ported to embedded devices with little or no modification.

text: Lome - Togo's incumbent president and his main rival both claimed victory in an election ahead of results due on Saturday, setting the stage for protests in the West African nation whose 2005 vote was marred by violence.Thursday's poll was widely seen as a test for democracy in a region rife with coups and flawed elections and in a country in which hundreds of demonstrators died after the last presidential vote five years ago.Parliamentary elections held in 2007 went off peacefully, leading to the restoration of foreign aid, but opponents to President Faure Gnassingbe have accused him of preparing to rig the vote this time around."On the basis of the counts from certain prefectures, the UFC candidate has won an average of 75% to 80% of the votes," said Jean-Pierre Fabre of the main UFC opposition party."We conclude that we have won the presidential election of March 4 2010," he said.A government spokesperson rejected the claim as "a joke"."The UFC is just trying to create trouble," Pascal Bodjona, who is also minister for territorial administration, told French RFI radio."From what we know of the returns, I think that the UFC has been completely routed," he said.More than 3 000 local and nearly 500 European and West African observers monitored the election across Togo, a sliver of land between Ghana and Benin where half of the nation's 6.6 million people were registered to vote.Election organisers say they expect to announce the vote result by late Saturday.Gnassingbe's 2005 victory, allowed him to succeed his father's nearly four decades of dictatorship in the world's No 4 producer of phosphate, a main ingredient for fertiliser.But it touched off protests in which the military killed up to 500 people, triggering a refugee crisis in neighbouring Ghana and Benin.

Cognitive changes and chemotherapy
Some chemotherapy drugs can affect the way the brain functions, so a small number of people will notice problems with memory and concentration. Sometimes this is called "chemo-brain" or "mental fatigue."
It is unknown exactly how chemotherapy affects the brain, so it is not clear if chemotherapy directly causes these problems. Other factors may also play a role in cognitive changes, such as:
- dose of chemotherapy drugs (larger doses cause more severe effects)
- antinausea drugs (may affect concentration)
- anxiety
- depression
- changes in routine
- poor nutrition
Changes in memory and concentration can be very subtle and mild. Some people:
- have trouble with short-term memory, such as not remembering where they put things, what they were talking about or phone numbers
- cannot do simple arithmetic problems
- are easily distracted
- tire easily when doing things that need mental energy
These effects can go away after chemotherapy is finished or may last up to a year after treatment is over. Sometimes these effects occur long after treatment is finished.
Prevention and management
The healthcare team can suggest ways to help improve concentration and manage changes in memory. Mild cognitive problems tend to respond well to rehabilitation efforts, such as cognitive retraining techniques and exercises.
To cope with changes to memory and concentration, you can try the following:
- Plan activities that require concentration for the times of the day when you are most rested.
- Make lists to help keep track of things, such as appointments or when to take medicines.
- Ask a family member or friend to help you remember by listening, taking notes and asking questions at appointments.

Little, Brown & Company is building suspense around a new release, sending bookstore buyers with a coy description of the book: Untitled by Anonymous.
In an email, the publisher described the book as "the inside story of life with one of the most controversial figures of our time." The New York Times speculated that Bernard Madoff might be the subject of the book and Catherine Hooper and Laurie Sandell could be the authors. What do you think?
Here is more from the Times: "[One clue] suggests that the topic could be Bernard L. Madoff because Ms. Hooper was identified in recent interviews in The New York Times and People magazine as the glamorous, dark-haired fiancée of Andrew Madoff, the younger son of Mr. Madoff. Ms. Sandell is a freelance magazine writer and graphic novelist in Brooklyn, according to her Web site."
The book is reportedly a 320-page, nonfiction hardcover with a $26.99 price tag that will hit stores in November. No one will comment officially on this book, building buzz around Little, Brown's mystery. (Via Sarah Weinman).

The nuclear family is key to welfare of society
Marriage by its nature, even from pre-Christian times, has both religious and civil significance.
Since the marriage ceremony, whether performed in a church or elsewhere, establishes the couple in a public state of life it is, and always was, fitting that its celebration be public before an authorised person and witnesses.
The marriage contract is based on the consent of a man and a woman to freely give themselves to each other, mutually, exclusively and definitively - and to accept joint responsibility for rearing their children. Thus the family is rightly regarded as the fundamental cell of society.
Breaking a marriage contract adversely affects the family involved, particularly children. Additionally the whole community must bear the increased social and economic cost of supporting single or abandoned mothers and children.
Thus our well-being is closely bound up with the healthy state of conjugal and family life. Presently one-third of Irish schoolchildren are living in homes where one or both natural parents are missing.
As family life, based on marriage between a man and a woman, is the single most important institution of society it therefore deserves special recognition and promotion by the State.
So why are some local political parties seeking to undermine and weaken this fundamental building block of society? It seems their family policies are now skewed towards adults and adult autonomy rather than promoting child welfare.

MIAMI (AP) - While crews put the finishing touches to the turf at Pro Player Stadium on Saturday, the Denver Broncos milled about, laughing and cavorting, in what was little more than a photo-op on the day before the Super Bowl.
Running back Terrell Davis provided a few of the lighter moments during the team's 40-minute visit to the stadium.
In the absence of a football, Davis grabbed a soda can, tucked it under his left arm and practiced running into the west end zone.
Davis also pulled out his camcorder and, making a 360-degree spin from the center of the field, started filming the stadium.
The Broncos normally have a brief walk-through of about 15 plays on the day before a game, but because of the number of workers and visitors in the stadium and the preparations that were still going on, the team mostly stood on the field and tested the footing.
All were in street clothes and only one, cornerback Darrius Johnson, wore his Broncos jersey.
Coach Mike Shanahan huddled with offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak and quarterback John Elway on the 30-yard line.
The end zones had already been painted before the visit, but a member of the grounds crew wielded a roller and was still applying a border of blue to a Broncos logo in front of the Denver bench.

I don't know if it would be exactly fair to be limited to one week. That means "we" can vote for someone we DON'T like, and remove their chance of having the power later when it might benefit them.
I think it almost has to be a choice of powers ... such as the ability to nominate, veto, an "advantage' in a challenge or even an automatic win as HOH ... there are lots of possibilities.
Again ... why are we not being paid the big bucks as creative directors.

What? Were you expecting a quick primer that would affirm your belief that you can do it all AND teach you how to stay sane in the process? Yeah. Not gonna happen.
I've got news for all of you multi-tasking kings and queens out there in entrepreneurial la-la land—you can do it all…NOT! That is, you can't do it all and be great at it, or even average. And if you can't be great at something, why do it at all?
Many entrepreneurs think they're good at everything, which is totally nuts—and physically impossible. It's an occupational hazard born of often having to do everything because at first you are your company. That and you don't have enough dough to order off the 99-cent menu, much less hire someone to help you out.
If you think you are good at everything, or even most things, you are seriously deluded. I hate to break it to ya, but you've got one, maybe two—and if you're really special (I mean "special" in a good way here, not the "short bus" type of special), three—things that you're really great at it. You suck at everything else.
All right, all right, maybe you don't actually suck at most things, but just getting by will get you nowhere fast. The rock stars, ace quarterbacks, and geniuses of the entrepreneurial world are all successful in part because they know they have to focus on one or two strengths and hand the rest over to someone who knows their stuff – and loves it. Nobody ever achieved greatness by trying to do it all, and you're not going to be the first, either.
So what are you great at? What is your best talent or skill? What do you have a passion for that can be sustained through long hours and relentless ups and downs? Find your one super strength and exploit it. Build your success around it, and leave the other stuff to those who can do it faster and better.
You can't do it all, dummy. But you can be hugely successful by being awesome at one thing. Doesn't that sound easier than the one-man band you've been lugging around?

I bought an eonon D5116Z for 273USD straight from eonon website. Very fast shipping in well packed box.Very easy set up.Saw a few videos online.You can get sygic pre-loaded map for 30USD extra on micro SD card. I downloaded igo primo and function well.Sound is a great plus many different options to personalize the idea to your liking.For example, loudness option,treble and bass controls.Every little thing concerning this system is wonderful. Navi,streaming bluetooth coming from iphone,dvd player,back up camera. The only issue I have now is the radio .seems not to memorize the station.In addition to that for the money you can't beat it.Had it approximately half a year, simply no problems.

I think the problem is deeper… obviously they didn't show all the areas, but they do seem to have done everything in the areas shown in the video… this means that all you can do at the Gas Station is crack that safe and listen to the broadcast, for example.
It shows a really shallow design, very "Theme Park-like", with various paths leading to places were you do event and thats it. Fallout and Baldur's Gate have open areas, full of people and places, that you explore and end up finding stuff to do. Here they are thrown upon you, and there is nothing to do besides them. This is supposed to be a residential area, yet there is not a single non-quest-related NPC, no one walking around, nothing going on besides quests.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art opened its Craft Spoken Here exhibit in early May, and it's the first time the museum has hosted an exhibit focused on the art of "crafting". The exhibit features art pieces by 39 craft artists from 11 countries who work with a diverse selection of media such as ceramic, rubber, glass, wood, silk, natural fibers and more. What's even more innovating is the museum's idea to yarn bomb the facade of their Perelman building.
Elisabeth Agro, the curator of Craft Spoken Here, commissioned Jessie Hemmons, an artist known as the "Philadelphia Yarn Bomber" to yarn bomb the building's facade. Elisabeth felt that "yarn bombing the front entrance of the Perelman building would be a great extension of the exhibition" and that yarn bombing would truly enhance the craft experience of this exhibit. Elisabeth shared that part of her decision to include yarn bombing was because – "it truly is an extension of my personality as a curator. I want to engage my audience, get them to be excited about the subject matter as I am." It's hard not to get excited about what crafted goodness lies beyond the exhibit entrance yarn bombed in bright shades of Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice and Hometown USA yarns.
In celebration of this historic yarn bombing installation, I reached out to Jessie Hemmons to learn more about her passion for creating fiber street art, and why she specifically chose to work with Lion Brand yarns for this piece.
Lion Brand: Since you're known as the "Philadelphia Yarn Bomber", how long have you been yarn bombing in Philadelphia? What was your inspiration to becoming involved with this art form?
Jessie Hemmons: I've been yarn bombing since 2009. I've always been a huge fan of street art, but because I didn't paint or make stencils or wheatpaste, I figured that I would only be an admirer of street art, and never an actual artist. I have always felt a strong connection with the unsolicited expressiveness associated with street art; that desire to share one's inner workings in such a public way, without asking permission from anyone. I started seeing yarn bombing in 2008 on the internet and thought that it was a perfect way for me to express myself publicly, but I worried about the resilience of the yarn, like whether it would withstand wind, rain, or snow. This kept me from yarn bombing until I saw an entire published book full of yarn bombs, called Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet and Knit Graffiti, by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain. Once I realized that the knitting could withstand the elements enough to fill an entire book of projects, I immediately began crocheting a piece to "bomb" in my city, Philadelphia. My first project was a 12 inch "cozy" that I sewed onto a bike rack, and from there I continued to create larger installations.
LB: How did you become the "yarn bomber" for the Philadelphia Museum of Art's 'Craft Spoken Here' exhibit?
JH: For Craft Spoken Here, I believe that Elisabeth Agro worked to formulate a relationship between makers of all kinds, by bringing together fine artists who utilize craft techniques, with makers and crafters who make functional objects for the love of it. Being in the transitional phase from crafter to artist, I believe that using a yarn bombing installation was a beneficial way to foster the relationship between those that learned how to knit by their aunt or grandmother, with those that use highly skilled technique to create fine art.
LB: I heard that you specifically requested to work with Vanna's Choice and Hometown USA, could you share why you chose those yarns?
JH: I became interested in using Vanna's Choice because of the marvelous color palette. For the 'Craft Spoken Here' installation, I was inspired by the colors of the Spring/Summer 2012 fashion collections (as I mentioned before, my affinity for garments never fades) and I felt that Vanna's Choice was really in tune with the colors of today, which made it my number one choice to work with. Hometown USA was selected as a preference for this installation because of the thickness of the yarn, as well as the colors. This was a very large installation, and so I felt that Hometown USA would best meet my needs for hand crocheted squares on this scale (12'x2′).
LB: You had a relatively tight deadline to get these magnificent pieces done, how long did it take you? (to knit and crochet; and then to install)
JH: I had just shy of three weeks to complete the fabrication of all of the pieces of the installation. Working on a knitting machine, I was able to complete the knitted swags and the cozies around the bottoms of the handrails. During this time I was also able to hand crochet 24 1'x1′ granny squares, which using Hometown USA helped to conserve time tremendously.
LB: Would you like to mention any other upcoming installations of yours?
JH: At the moment I am working to create relationships with non profit organizations so that I can begin to create art projects with inner city youth, by working with them to learn how to knit and design projects to help enhance their environment. Other than that, I believe I'll be taking a little time to breathe and collect myself after such an honorable experience, but I'm sure my desire to color the streets will not lie dormant for long.
Make sure to check out the installation and the 'Craft Spoken Here' exhibit when you can! Due to the nature of yarn bombing weathering, the installation will be up until early June (you may also call the Visitor Services number to the museum to ensure the installation will be up for your planned trip: (215) 763-8100).

WASHINGTON, April 24 (UPI) -- U.S. House leaders Wednesday pulled back a bill to modify Obamacare amid criticism from Republican hard-liners who wanted another vote on a complete repeal.
There was no formal announcement but House Republican leaders sent a note to members saying there would be no more votes Wednesday, The Hill reported.
The newspaper reported Republican aides said they would try to bring the bill back to the House in May.
The legislation was pushed by Majority Leader Eric Cantor but ran into tough conservative opposition, Politico reported.
Politico said the bill would transfer money from a preventative disease account to create high-risk pools for sick Americans. President Barack Obama has said he would likely veto the bill.
Before the withdrawal, conservatives said they want to tell voters they tried to scrap Obamacare and were demanded a floor vote to repeal the 2010 healthcare reform law.
The conservatives are frustrated by the Republican leadership's decision to push legislation that changes but doesn't eliminate President Obama's signature law, The Hill reported.
"The guys who have been up here the last two years, we can go home and say, 'Listen, we voted 36 different times to repeal or replace Obamacare.' Tell me what the new guys are supposed to say?" second-term Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., asked Wednesday.
The Hill said after two years in which House Republicans voted nearly every week to repeal part or all of Obamacare, the Republican leadership shifted strategy after Obama was re-elected in November, but hardliners were still calling for full repeal.

Family Circus for the Rest of Us
Bil Keane is considered, in some circles, to be a god. That is an indisputable fact. His comic strip, the family oriented Family Circus is one of the most successful and popular in the world. Debuting in 1960, it has been going strong for 50 years now, appearing in over 1,500 newspapers worldwide. That's no small accomplishment, nor is the fact that his Family Circus books have sold over thirteen million copies over the years. These are impressive statistics, and they and earn Mr. Keane our utmost respect.
Here's the thing though. The Family Circus isn't really that funny. It's cute and it's adorable, and if cute and adorable is what you are looking for, well then you certainly have your comic strip. But what about the rest of us- those of us who like our humor with an edge to it? Maybe some humor that makes us think and examine the frailty of our own existence? The Family Circus has all but ignored this demographic, and that's really a shame. There are many of us that might enjoy this classic comic strip, if only it would reach out to us and say, "Hey I understand you, too." So, with that thought in mind, we have kept Bil Keane's integrity intact by not tampering with his art, only changing the words to create a Family Circus for the rest of us. So gather the children, go grab grandma out of the nursing home, and share these classics as a family.

Programmable SoC Enhances Automotive EL Lamp Performance
Post a comment
Electroluminescent backlight lamps, (EL lamps) are thin, flexible, and rugged, making them ideal for nighttime backlighting of vehicle instrument clusters. EL lamps have been widely used since their introduction in the early 1960s, but a lack of chip functionality restricted their use in certain markets and applications. Now a Programmable System-on-ChipTM (PSoCTM) mixed-signal array, with configurable analog and digital resources, a Cypress CY8C24xxx for example, allows designers to utilize EL's benefits in ways that were previously impossible.
An EL lamp is, in essence, a capacitor with at least one transparent electrode and a special phosphorescent dielectric. Its capacitance is roughly 0.6 to 1 nf/cm2. Apply an AC voltage and it glows, producing uniform light. Apply a larger voltage and the lamp glows even brighter. Having a thickness as little as 0.12 mm, they can be easily conformed to curved and contoured surfaces desired by today's industrial designers responsible for an instrument cluster's look and feel.
EL lamps provide a flat uniform light source, utilize low power, and generate low heat, making them ideal for instrument clusters. EL lamps require a high AC voltage to turn on. Specifics differ for each application but generally the stimulation voltage is in the range of 40Vrms to 100Vrms at 200 to 500 Hz. For the typical digital-centric engineer, voltage this high must seem like high-energy physics. Because this resource is not readily abundant in an automobile electric system, it has to be generated.
The AC voltage applied to an EL lamp makes the phosphor glow within the EL. Like all light sources, over time the intensity of the emitted light will decrease. A measure of this dimming effect of an EL lamp is Time to Half Luminance (THL). Specifics differ for each application, but generally the THL for an EL lamp can exceed 3,500 hours for an applied voltage of 80Vrms at 200 Hz. It is also worth mentioning that a larger AC voltage also generates greater DC error. This means the THL is reduced when a higher voltage is applied to the EL lamp. It also follows that the THL is extended when a lower voltage is applied.
To turn on a lamp, it is be necessary to generate a large AC stimulus voltage. A popular method is to use a charge pump to generate a large DC voltage and then discharge it at the desired frequency. A charge pump, sometimes known as a boost converter, takes a smaller DC voltage and converts it (by means of an inductor) to a larger voltage. This can be accomplished by using the basic circuit shown in here.
Neglecting any resistance, when the switch is turned on, a current develops that is proportional to time. At the end of ton, the following current has developed.
When the switch turns off, the magnetic field of the inductor collapses causing the current to be shunted through the diode and stored in the capacitor. For each cycle, a quanta of energy is transferred. With the energy transfer happening at a rate of fh, the following power is developed:
The output voltage will increase until the power used by the EL lamp equals the power generated. This is a unique value for each type and size of EL lamp. Using the manufacturer's data sheet, L, fh, and Vdc can be determined. The output voltage can be then be adjusted with the duty cycle. Care must be taken to prevent the duty cycle from increasing to the point where there is no longer sufficient time left to allow the inductor to totally transfer its energy. This function can be implemented with one configurable digital block within a PSoC device.
An H bridge is used to chop the DC high voltage into an AC signal. The schematic shown below may help to visualize this. For simplicity, the high-side and low-side switches are shown as MOSFETs. It could just as well have been implemented with bipolar transistors, BGJTs, SCRs, or some combination of these switch types.
The H-bridge circuit gets its name from the fact that it resembles an uppercase letter H. To generate the AC signal, the following control cycle must be implemented.
Note that there are eight entries for what should be a four state table. This is because little mini-states have been added to ensure that Phase AHIGH and Phase BLOW (or Phase BHIGH and Phase ALOW) are never, even briefly, both actuated. Simultaneous activation would result in a direct short from the high voltage supply to ground. These mini-states are called dead band states. Hardware to implement this controller is shown below.
A pulse width modulator (PWM) with a frequency of fl is fed to a dead band generator to generate under lapped low and high phase signals. It is also fed to a flip flop to generate phase A and phase B signals. These four signals are logically combined to generate the four control signals shown in the table above. This hardware can be implemented with three PSoC configurable digital blocks. The PWM's duty cycle determines how long the voltage (VHV) is applied on the EL lamp. The flip flop insures that the voltage is applied in alternating polarities. This results in the following RMS voltage and switching frequency.

I have a galaxy s2 i777 ATT - I can't find its own place on this forum so please forgive me if this in the wrong section
My S2 was unrooted and then I loaded omni kitkatt on it which locked my sim . big noob mistake I feel really dumb believe me.
Now I had unrooted it in the with odin and loaded Siyah ics to finally root it because the sim got locked. I live outside of the USA and nowhere near an ATT network. It has the CWM recovery on it
So all was well until someone ( my nephew ) decided to load omni again and then he loaded Carbon on it
The strange thing that is happening right now is that I do see Superuser in the settings but my sim is still locked I tried to use galaxys2 unlock but it doesnt do anything.
No biggie right but now it turns out my USB port is not working.
So here are my questions :
- How do i get my phone back to stock without a pc and root it (I live outside of the usa thats why I believe my sim gets locked ) so we can use the phone again to call
- Can I use mobile odin to load the stock version of android back on it and then unroot it again so I can unlock my phone ?
- Can I try to use frama root to check if my phone is really rooted and if so can it help root my phone ?
For now I'd just like to get it back to stock and root it ( so I can unlock my sim)
I need your help .
