1. Field of Invention
The present invention pertains to charge coupled devices (CCDs), and more particularly, to CCDs that have multiple well designs per pixel to increase charge storage capacity.
2. Background of the Invention
CCD imagers are used in a variety of applications, including film digitizers, video cameras, electronic still cameras, FLIR (forward looking infra-red, mostly for military applications), and medical radiography systems. The dynamic range of existing CCD imagers is limited, and inadequate for some applications.
Digitizing radiographic film is a particularly demanding application. The ratio of largest to smallest signal is typically about 3000, corresponding to a film density range of about 3.5 (log 3000≈3.5). A typical requirement for signal-to-noise ratio is 15:1, resulting in a dynamic range requirement of about 15 times 3000, approximately 50,000. Some applications require even greater dynamic range. Such a dynamic range is not available with existing CCD imagers.
CCD imagers convert photons (light) to electrons (or holes), and accumulate the electrons in wells. The maximum signal in such a system is limited by the number of electrons that the wells can hold before overflowing. The capacity of the wells can be increased, but generally this also increases the electronic noise. Thus the dynamic range is limited, typically far below 50,000.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,221,848 discusses constructing two CCD sensor arrays, one for weak signals and one for strong signals, to increase the dynamic range. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,268,567; 5,283,426; 5,055,667; and 4,873,561 discuss modifying the CCD sensor and/or control electronics to produce a non-linear response, which increases the largest usable signal, thereby increasing the dynamic range.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,221,848, issued to Milch (hereinafter referred to as Milch), Milch provides wide dynamic range by providing separate sensors for low and high signals. With this approach, the low signal sensor may see a different image than the high signal sensor, because they are at different locations, may be exposed at different times or for different exposure periods, and may be exposed through different filters. Another problem with the teachings of the disclosure of Milch is that it discards some of the available signal, e.g. by reducing the exposure time or applying a neutral density filter to the light. By discarding signal, this worsens the signal/noise ratio.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,268,567; 5,283,426; 5,055,667; and 4,873,561 all discard signal, by various means, and thus worsen the signal/noise ratio, as compared with the tandem CCD design. The tandem CCD design also has lower noise (and thus better signal/noise ratio) than U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,561, because the tandem design separates the small and large wells by a barrier, so that dark current noise generated in the large wells does not leak into the small wells; while in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,561 design dark current noise generated in the large wells flows easily into the small wells, thereby corrupting even the small signals with large amounts of noise.
A typical prior art, linear CCD imager is shown in FIG. 1. The photodiodes convert incident photons to electrons during the exposure time interval. After the exposure, the Gate is lowered, allowing the electrons to move into the adjacent CCD wells. Then the chain of CCD wells is clocked, bucket brigade style, moving the charge in each CCD well to the next CCD well. The end CCD well is clocked into an amplifier, then into an analog to digital converter, producing a digital signal. Each pixel position comprises a photodiode and a CCD well. The dashed line encloses the portion that is typically on a single integrated circuit. This example shows a 4 pixel CCD imager. Typical linear CCD imagers contain hundreds or thousands of pixels.
During exposure to light, the photons generate electron/hole pairs in the photodiode. In most devices the electrons are used, and the holes are discarded. After the exposure is complete, the gate is lowered, allowing the electrons to flow from the photodiode into the CCD well. If the light signal is too strong, the capacity of the CCD well is exceeded, i.e. there are more electrons than the well can hold. In some devices, to prevent the excess electrons from flowing to adjacent pixels (a phenomenon called blooming), an overflow gate and overflow drain are provided. Properly adjusting the voltage on the overflow gate limits the number of electrons which can accumulate in the photodiode. The excess electrons flow over the overflow gate, into the overflow drain, where they are removed. FIG. 2 shows the energy diagram for a single pixel.
Referring to FIG. 2, which is an energy diagram of one pixel of the typical prior art CCD imager shown in FIG. 1, the photons create electrons in the photodiode. The gate is then lowered, and the electrons drain into the CCD well. The height of the overflow gate can be set to limit the total number of electrons that accumulate in the photodiode, by allowing excess electrons to pass to the overflow drain. The overflow gate and overflow drain also are sometimes used to provide electronic shutter control. In such cases, the overflow gate is fully lowered for a period of time, then raised. Electrons accumulate in the photodiode only while the overflow gate is raised. Thus, extending the period when the gate is lowered decreases the time interval when electrons accumulate, thereby decreasing the exposure.
After the CCD wells receive charge from the photodiodes, the row of CCD wells are clocked out to the amplifier, bucket brigade style. The charge in each CCD well is passed to the adjacent CCD well. The charge from the end CCD well is passed to the amplifier. This charge is amplified and passed to an analog-to-digital converter (A/D), where the analog signal is converted to a digital number. This clocking is repeated until every CCD well, one at a time, is passed to the amplifier and A/D, resulting in a series of digital numbers, one number corresponding to the light signal collected at each of the photodiodes.
In most designs, the maximum signal that can be sensed is governed by the electron capacity of the CCD wells. Typical devices have CCD well capacities of between 50,000 and 1,000,000 electrons. The CCD well capacity can be increased, but there is a corresponding increase in electronic noise, so that the signal to noise ratio is limited.
The present invention describes a modified CCD imager design in which more than one CCD well is present for each pixel. The CCD wells are of different electron capacities. For each pixel, there is a single photon to electron converter (such as a photodiode), which feeds electrons (or holes) to the smallest capacity CCD well. When this well fills to near capacity, it overflows a barrier into an adjacent, larger capacity well. Similarly, this well overflows into an even larger capacity well, and so on. The smallest wells are interconnected to provide a cascaded output chain, as is typical of a CCD device, where each well is clocked into the next well of the chain, and the end of the chain is clocked into an amplifier. Similarly, the wells of the next larger size are interconnected to provide a cascaded output chain. And similarly for each larger group of well sizes.
The small well CCD chain provides a low noise signal for the pixels which receive a small number of photons (small signals). The next larger size CCD chain provides a somewhat noisier signal for somewhat larger photon signals. The largest size CCD chain provides the signal for the highest photon signals. An optional overflow drain provides anti-blooming protection against even larger signals.
The multiple CCD well sizes produce multiple outputs from the CCD chains for each pixel. Means are described for combining the multiple signals to produce a single, wide dynamic range signal for each pixel.
The CCD imager is combined with illumination, optics and mechanical transport to constitute a variety of systems, including a film scanner and an electronic camera.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an image sensing device comprising:
an array of photodetectors capable of generating electron/hole pairs from incident photons;
a first charge coupled device having a plurality of cells, the first charge coupled device being operatively coupled to the photodetectors by first transfer means for placing charge accumulated within the photodetectors from generated electron/hole pairs within the first charge coupled device;
a second charge coupled device having a plurality of cells being operatively coupled to the first charge coupled device by second transfer means for removing charge exceeding a threshold within the first charge coupled device and placing charge exceeding the threshold within the second charge coupled device;
clocking means for cycling charge through the cells of the first and second charge coupled devices;
amplification means for amplifying charge signals from the first and second charge coupled devices;
output means for combining signals from the amplification means.
The above and other objects of the present invention will become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the following description and drawings wherein like characters indicate like parts and which drawings form a part of the present invention.
The tandem CCD imager provides a wider dynamic range than conventional CCD imagers. This is useful in many applications which need to image scenes with a wide range of signal strength, such as scanning photographic film, especially reversal and radiographic film, flash photography, photography under poorly controlled lighting, and machine vision.

The present invention envisions an improved design for an image sensor, generally referred to as 10 as shown in FIG. 3, wherein each pixel position consists of a photodiode 12 and two CCD wells. Large CCD well 16 has much larger electron capacity than the small CCD well 14, with the FIG. 3 showing the large CCD well 16 as being the farther away from photodiodes 12. While FIG. 3 shows a physically larger well for larger CCD well 16, this is pedagogical only. As is well known to those skilled in the relevant arts, the larger capacity well need not be physically larger. In image sensor 10, as in prior art CCD image sensors, the photons incident on the photodiode 12 during exposure generate electrons. After a predetermined amount of time used for accumulation of electrons, the gate 20 is lowered, and the electrons drain into the small CCD well 14. Unlike prior art CCD image sensors, if the incident light results in the generation of electrons creating a signal that is too large to be stored within the small CCD well 14, resulting in excess electrons beyond the capacity of the small CCD well 14, the excess electrons are not lost. Instead, they flow over the barrier 22, into the large CCD well 16.
After the electrons have drained into the CCD wells, the chains of CCD wells are clocked out to amplifiers 24, 25, in the usual CCD bucket brigade manner. The small CCD wells 14 forms one such CCD chain, clocked out to amplifier 24, and in turn to Analog to Digital converter 29. The set of charges from the large CCD wells 16 forms a second such CCD chain, and is clocked out to a second amplifier 25, and in turn to a second Analog to Digital converter 30. This results in two signals for each pixel, one signal from the small CCD chain, and a second signal from the large CCD chain. Various uses for these pairs of signals are described later.
The name "Tandem Well CCD Imager" is appropriate to the CCD image sensor 10, because each photodiode feeds two CCD's, one following behind the other. In an alternative embodiment, more than two sizes (capacities) of CCD wells are used. For each pixel, the photodiode feeds the smallest CCD well, which overflows into a larger CCD well, which overflows into an even larger CCD well, etc. Optionally, an overflow gate 31 and overflow drain 32 may be included in the design, in the same manner as for a single well CCD imager, to prevent blooming or to provide electronic exposure control. However, unlike the prior art CCD imager, an overflow drain 32 is often unnecessary, because large enough CCD wells can be provided to handle the largest expected light signal.
Referring to FIG. 4, which is an energy diagram for the improved CCD imager of FIG. 3, incident photons generate electrons within the photodiode. Electrons flow initially into the small CCD well 14. If the incident light generates more electrons than the small CCD well 14 can accommodate, the excess electrons overflow the barrier 22 separating the small CCD well 14 from the large CCD well 16 and flow into the large well. The barrier 22 between the tandem CCD wells may be fixed, for example by permanent structures within the integrated circuit, or it may be variable, as a typical gate. As can be seen, overflow gate 31 controls the threshold at which charge will drain through overflow drain 32.
FIG. 5 shows how even more flexibility can be achieved by providing multiple, controllable barriers between the tandem wells. The two barrier gates, 22,23, labeled Barrier 1 and Barrier 2 are shown. By raising Barrier 1 and lowering Barrier 2, a small capacity CCD well is formed to the left of Barrier 1. By lowering Barrier 1 and raising Barrier 2 (shown as a dashed line), a somewhat larger capacity CCD well is formed to the left of Barrier 2. This permits optimum sizing of the small CCD well to suit a particular application. An alternative way to change the well capacity is to simply raise the voltage at the bottom of the small CCD well, but this may have an undesirable effect on the noise for the cell, and thus it is not a preferred approach.
FIG. 6 is an illustration of a method for combining the outputs from the large and small wells, by converting the amplifier output from each of the Tandem CCD well bucket brigades into a digital signal and then comparing the signals. The illustration of FIG. 6 can be seen taken in conjunction with that of FIG. 3. There are a variety of ways to use the signal pairs generated by the Tandem Well CCD Imager for each pixel. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the analog output signal from the small CCD wells 14 is converted into a digital signal by A/D converter 29, while the analog output signal from the large CCD well 16 is converted into a digital signal by A/D converter 30. Digital processing circuitry (which may be a computer, or specialized digital circuitry) compares the digital output of A/D converter 29 to a threshold. The threshold is typically set to correspond to slightly less than the maximum signal from the small CCD wells 14 (corresponding to a full well). If below the threshold, a multiplexer 58 selects this signal for output. If above the threshold, the signal from A/D 30 is amplified, and added to the threshold, and selected by multiplexer 58 for output.
In the preferred embodiment, when above the threshold the signal passed is A�S2+T, where S2 is the output signal strength for the large CCD well 16, and T is the threshold. The multiplicative factor A is chosen to match the signal gain above threshold to the signal gain below threshold, i.e. A is chosen so that the output signal from the circuitry is B�E both below and above the threshold T, where B is some constant, and E is the number of electrons generated in the photodiode. The signal gain A, is represented as 52 within FIG. 6. Multiplexer 58 will select the proper signal to create output 50 as a result of the determination made by comparator 54. This signal processing may be refined in various ways to compensate for device imperfections, such as different threshold and gains for each pixel, offsets resulting from electron losses (such as at electron traps in the integrated circuit) between the tandem wells, blurred thresholds caused by thermal effects, non-linearity in the amplifiers and A/D's.
A similar approach can be used to combine signals in the analog domain, before the analog to digital conversion, to avoid the need for two A/D converters. This type of embodiment is shown in FIG. 7. Here, when switching to using the large CCD well 16 signal, the small CCD well 14 signal (rather than the threshold) is added to the large CCD signal by analog adding device 67. This more accurately reflects the original number of electrons generated in the photodiode than would adding the threshold to the large CCD signal. The threshold is set so that the comparator 66 decides either that the small CCD well signal is near full well, or else substantially below full well. If the comparator 66 decides that the small CCD well 14 signal is substantially below full well, then the circuitry routes the small CCD well 14 signal through multiplexer 64 to the A/D 63, where the signal is digitized, and then the digitized signal is passed to the output 60. (In this case, the large CCD well signal is ignored, and should be near 0.)
Alternatively, if the comparator 66 decides that the small CCD well signal 39 is near full well, then the small CCD well signal 39 passes through a first amplifier 68, whose gain is set so that at the first adder 67, the signals at both inputs have identical values per electron from the photodiode (i.e. the gain from the photodiode to the adder is the same for the path through the small CCD well as for the path through the large CCD well). Then the signal from the small CCD well 14 is combined with the large CCD well 16 signal, in the first adder 67. A negative offset signal 45 is added at the next adder 65. This offset 45 reduces the minimum signal to near zero, to use the full range of the A/D 63. The signal from the first amplifier 68 is nearly constant (whenever the output of comparator 66 engages this portion of the circuit), approximately equal to threshold times the gain of the first amp 68, because the small CCD well is near full. Thus, without the offset, the output of the first adder 67 would never go near zero. The output of the offset adder 65 passes through the multiplexer 64 to the A/D 63, where it is digitized. The digital signal now passes through an offset adder 62 which reverses the effect of the previous offset adder 65. The output of offset adder 65 passes through amplifier 61, whose gain is set so that the signal to the second multiplexer 46 is now on the same numerical scale as the other input signal to the second multiplexer 46. The signal passes through the second multiplexer 46 to the final output 60.
Referring to FIG. 7, a circuit is illustrated used for combining the analog output signals from the Tandem CCD wells after being output from the amplifiers 24, 25 and prior the conversion to digital signals. The effect of the circuit of FIG. 7 is to use the small CCD well signal alone when this signal is substantially below saturation, and otherwise to combine the small and large CCD well signals. This yields low noise for low signals (from the small CCD well), while avoiding saturation of larger signals (from the combined small and large CCD wells). The signals along these two different paths are balanced at the A/D input, to make optimum use of the dynamic range of the single A/D for both signal paths.
The tandem well design may be used for both linear and area CCD image sensors. It is not necessary that the second, third, etc. wells be successively larger, but in most applications this is the most appropriate design.
FIG. 8 illustrates a film input scanner using a linear tandem CCD image sensor 70. Lamp 72 and lens 74 illuminate the film 76. A narrow strip of film is imaged by a second lens 78 onto the linear CCD sensor 70. A motorized translator 79 moves the film 76 to scan successive strips. This is a conventional film scanner design, except for he tandem sensor, which increases the dynamic range. A lamp and optics illuminate the film. The light is transmitted and modulated by the film image, and focused by the second lens 78 onto the linear, tandem CCD image sensor 70. A plurality of pixels on the linear sensor responds to a narrow, stripe portion of the film image. A motorized translator 79 moves the film 76, and the CCD sensor 70 responds to a series of stripes across the film image frame, thereby building up a plurality of stripes, each stripe consisting of a plurality of pixels, which represents the 2-dimensional image on the film.
FIG. 9 shows another use for a tandem CCD sensor as part of an electronic camera design. The sensor shown is an area CCD. Electronic shuttering is accomplished by emptying the CCD wells during exposure, while charge accumulates in the photodiodes. At the completion of the exposure time, the gate is lowered, and the charge flows from the photodiodes to the tandem CCD wells, and then is transferred out to the amplifiers and A/D's. Mechanical shuttering may be used instead, as in conventional film cameras.
Additionally, the present invention can be employed into active pixel sensor architectures wherein bucket brigade charge coupled devices are not used to transfer charge. Charge can be transferred via a floating diffusion (not shown) to CMOS circuitry (not shown), for example, that addresses the pixels as desired. These pixels may be independently addressable. An active pixel system upon which the present invention can be employed is discussed in CMOS Active Pixel Image Sensor in the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, Vol. 41, No. 3, March 1994. This system would have to be modified to provide for the additional wells and outputting the charge contained, therein, in a manner that can be used by the control circuitry. These variations are obvious modifications to those skilled in the art.
While there has been shown what is considered to be the preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be manifest that many changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the essential spirit of the invention. It is intended, therefore, in the annexed claims, to cover all such changes and modifications as may fall within the true scope of the invention.

_BONDLADY CONFIRMATION what she said earlier is correct! Today at 3:55 pm
Sent to me by bondlady, THIS IS HUGE!!!
Azzaman, January 2, 2012
The Central Bank says it will not allow the Iraqi dinar to depreciate and has been selling hundreds of millions of dollars to keep the currency stable.
The Iraqi dinar weakened in December last year, prompting the bank to sell dollars in a bid to withdraw cash from Iraqi markets.
The bank did not say what brought the dinar to plummet to lows it had not seen for years, but officials privately say the plunge might have been due to political uncertainty in the region.
Mudher Saleh, Central Bank's deputy governor, has said there were no sound economic reasons for the currency's weakening.
The bank coffers are said to be brimming with hard cash from oil sales.
Read More Link on Right
_Saleh said the bank would not let the dinar fall and in one day in December last year it sold $200 million on the open market to squeeze liquidity.
"We withdrew in one single day about one quarter of a trillion dinars, thereby brining stability to the currency," Saleh said.
One reason for the dinar's fall, according to Saleh, might be the economic difficulties Iraq's neighbors are facing, particularly Syria and Iran.
He said Iraqi traders and industrialists have turned into middlemen for these countries, the thing which has led to a substantial growth in demand for hard currency.

Their bodies succumbed to the blind horrors of biology. He could not feel his legs, but his heart had a pulsating warmth within it each time he thought about his wife. Although her time was set, she still found herself smirking each time she looked in the mirror and noticed that her wig was askew. Their eyes looked younger as each day passed, in spite of their unwilling stubbornness to seek pity. Nature's wrath and financial circumstance kept them from bearing children, but they were given each other, and that was more than enough.
Fiction: July 2005 Archives
Okay, third installment, and this part is getting a more adult rating, so kids, get your parents' permission on this one.
I didn't write the bar scene, and was REALLY opposed to what went down because the circumstance was way overdone, but the dialogue around it didn't bother me, so I reluctantly put up no fight. The basement scene and beyond is my "work", so blame me for that stuff if you hate it.
And things are now starting to come together with the characters.
Okay, this is a pretty big slab of script, but where I cut it off makes sense, and you get some more Ronnie James at the end, which is always good. A bunch of new characters are introduced, and it may seem a bit chaotic at this point, but believe me, it all comes together quite well. Patience.
The pudding character thing is wrong, I admit that already, and we get an appearance from another "immigrant". Truth be told, most of the ice cream scenes happened for real to/including the co-author of this piece. And a few others I have witnessed or been told about by very reliable sources.
And now, more Soda Jerks...
In regards to the sudden onslaught of Dio-related postings, I bring to you a script that I co-wrote about 2 years ago. It took me 6 days to write the first draft, and the draft that we were content with was finished in about another week. I did write about 95% of the script, so if you can find the 5% that is not Weaver, pat yourself on the back and treat yourself to a hoagie. Who knows what formatting blunders wills occur...
I'll post it in parts, just for the sake of the reader's time. I know that it is full of errors that I no longer do whilst writing, but enjoy it nonetheless. There are many moments in here that I'm sure that you'll appreciate. Dig in!
I stand before the congregation condemned, though eager for forgiveness. Humility is nonexistent, though I am shirtless in the presence of so many. I am not thirsty, though the sun screams into my wan complexion as it tends to do so close to the buckle of the Bible Belt this time of year.

U.S. Soccer will host a National Goalkeeping Course from May 13-20, 2012, at the IMG Academies in Bradenton, Florida. The course focuses on the goalkeeping position but is beneficial to all coaches, who will gain a brand new perspective on the game.
March 13, 2012
© U.S. Soccer
CHICAGO (March 13, 2012) – This May, U.S. Soccer will host a National Goalkeeping course at the IMG Academies in Bradenton, Florida. The course is open to all coaches who currently hold their USSF National "A" or "B" licenses. It is especially beneficial for coaches with their "A" licenses because attending this course will earn them enough CEUs to renew their license.
This course is not solely for goalkeeping coaches; rather, it is extremely valuable for team coaches as well.
"This course is very much for the team coach, not just the goalkeeping coach," said lead course instructor Peter Mellor. "It is for the team coach to better understand the role of the goalkeeper on the team. Both the coaches and the goalkeepers they have on their teams will benefit from it."
Course instructor Phil Wheddon added, "This course was developed to enhance the ability of the head coach, assistant coach and goalkeeper coach to integrate the goalkeeper into team practices. It is essential that coaches are able to address the goalkeeping position within the team environment. The Goalkeeping License provides a unique approach to accomplishing this."
During the course, coaches will learn all of the different features of goalkeeping, including the technical, tactical, social, and physical aspects. Coaches will learn to understand the game from the goalkeeper's point of view, which in turn will open up new insights in to the players on the rest of the field.
"The coach will learn how to see the game from inside the goal to out in the field, versus the normal view point, which is the coach on the half way line," Mellor said. "Coaches will be seeing the game through the goalkeeper's eyes. They will get a different outlook of the game from inside the goal."
This course will enable the instructors to share their philosophy, experience, and methodology of the goalkeeping position. Furthermore, it will allow coaches who attend the chance to further their knowledge of soccer in general and open their eyes to a whole new way of seeing the game. The course has received outstanding feedback from coaches who have taken it in the past, non-goalkeeping coaches in particular.
Register online for this course today at http://www.ussoccer.com/Coaches/National-Coaching-Schools/National-Course-Schedule.aspx and expand your knowledge and perspective on the game.
According to Wheddon, "With the insight from the experienced staff and an educational environment second to none, this course is a must for all qualified coaches."

Sentimental story line beats sound handicapping
LEXINGTON, KY. - I am a reasonable man. Most of the time, I believe in science over superstition. I emphasized pace figures, speed figures, improving form, and betting value while handicapping the Kentucky Derby. In most races, those tools are sufficient. But the Kentucky Derby is different. There is another angle that has become difficult to ignore. I call it the Mrs. Genter Factor. It is a mystical belief that the racing gods are kind and soft-hearted when it comes to handing out Derby wins. They are big on sympathy, especially when nice people are involved. They tend to favor the elderly and the frail. If you fit into both categories, you have an almost unbeatable edge.
This trend, which has been in force for decades, is best illustrated by the 1990 Derby. When trainer Carl Nafzger described the stretch run of the race for owner Frances Genter during Unbridled's victory, then embraced her, it was a sweet, touching moment. It was also a tremendous betting opportunity. A sweet, frail, elderly woman with poor eyesight is like money in the bank in the Kentucky Derby.
Think back to some of the other Derby winners over the last 20 years, and note how many of the owners or trainers were getting up there in years and venerated by most in racing: Woody Stephens (Swale), Charlie Whittingham (Ferdinand and Sunday Silence), Paul Mellon and Mack Miller (Sea Hero), W. T. Young (Grindstone), Bob and Beverly Lewis (Silver Charm and Charismatic). Bob Baffert is relatively young, but his white hair has fooled the racing gods repeatedly.
If there was ever a likely Derby winner based on the Mrs. Genter Factor, it was Smarty Jones. This is a horse who came into the Derby undefeated in six starts. He won those races by a combined total of 33 1/4 lengths. He had earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 105 or higher in half of his lifetime starts, with a career-best 108. Clearly, this horse was good enough to win the Derby on his own, with no help from the racing gods. But how could they not help? No racing god could live with himself if he denied 77-year-old owner Roy Chapman, a frail, but enthusiastic racing fan, a trip to the winner's circle. The $10.20 win payoff was a license to print money.
It is very unlikely that I will ever own a horse anywhere near as talented as Smarty Jones. The chances are even more remote that I will ever own a Kentucky Derby winner. But that won't stop me from trying. I have targeted the 2043 Derby. I will be in my 80's. Until then, I will be on my best behavior every minute of every day, with the hope that I can impress the racing gods with my kind, gentle, caring nature. They like that.

Linear regulator controllers roll
Post a comment
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. TelCom Semiconductor Inc. has introduced a family of low-dropout regulator controllers with an external pnp pass transistor for the lowest-possible dropout operation.
Aided by this high-beta pass transistor, the TC57 forms an LDO regulator that can deliver over 1 A of output current with a dropout voltage of under 200 mV. Supply current is 50 microamps and power consumption is less than 1 microamps in shutdown. The TC57 comes in preprogrammed output settings from 2 to 6 V in 0.1-V increments.
Packaged in an SOT-23-5 and priced from $1.13, controllers in the TC57 family are intended for battery-operated equipment where low installed cost is critical and board space is tight.

A hot little Latino ready to take daddy dick deep and raw? Check. A muscular daddy hungry for a horny bottom that wants his seed? Check.

Set in present day London, LOVE TOMORROW is the story of a former ballet dancer whose life is turned upside down after receiving devastating news about her fiancé, Dominic.
Wandering the underground in a torment of pain and confusion, a chance encounter with a charismatic Cuban dancer, Oriel offers a temporary distraction. Oriel overlooks her engagement ring and suggests she spends some time with him.
Why she follows this insistent stranger is unclear, and why he tolerates her reserve, mood swings and outright hostility is also unclear. But as the night lengthens and turns into day, the frustrations, secrets and wounds of both their lives begin to emerge, and a fragile friendship promises to turn into something more profound.

text: President Bush, speaking in South Africa on Wednesday, said he will support a moratorium on enforcing international patent protections on anti-HIV medications so that developing nations can have better access to life-saving drugs, Newsday reports. But a senior administration official clarified Bush's statement by saying that U.S. opposition to a World Trade Organization proposal that would allow developing nations to make or import cheaper generic versions of many drugs remains in effect. "The WTO agreement includes other drugs that are not AIDS drugs, such as aspirin and other commercial drugs," the official told Newsday. "That's why we oppose it." AIDS activists in South Africa greeted Bush's statement with skepticism, noting that the United States has long been a major opponent of generic drug treatment plans. "Whatever Bush said today, the U.S. is still blocking the production of these drugs," said Mark Heywood of South Africa's Treatment Action Campaign.

Kelsey makes great points, it really depends on the baby. My SIL started her baby on veggie purees around 4 1/2 months old, which seems early, but if you saw this baby you would know she was ready. She is so attentive watching that food and wanting to grab it herself and explore the taste. She's definitely ready to eat. She's just one of those kids that is ready for that next step. Vivi on the other hand is 3 1/2 months old and I'd be shocked if she was ready for solids before 6 months. She's just really content with her bottle, munching right along, sometimes wanting to hold it, sometimes not, and that's just who she is.
I think educating yourself about guidelines and suggestions is important, but don't be afraid to question anything that doesn't sound right to you. At the end of the day, Sophia is your child, you know her best, do what you feel is best for her. I forget who wrote this, but I think it's a good one, "food under one is just for fun!"

People living in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough may have to tough out the icy roads and sidewalks a little while longer.
Borough mayor Luc Ferrandez said there wasn't enough money in the budget to remove it, and that residents have one person to blame for it: Montreal mayor Denis Coderre.
"The mayor cut the Plateau-Mont-Royal's snow-removal budget," Ferrandez said of Denis Coderre.
He said the lack of snow removal was strictly a matter of money, and that he agreed with residents complaining about the mess the snow and ice have left.
The Plateau-Mont-Royal borough is the only one of 19 on the island that has not yet removed the snow after plowing sidewalks and streets.
Ferrandez said the reason is that the Plateau faces budget constraints other boroughs don't.
Earlier this week, Coderre responded to an audit performed on Montreal's poor snow-clearing performance during a week in early January marked by snow, rain and freezing rain.
He attributed a large part of the problem to the fact that each borough is responsible for its own snow clearing, and said that it would probably be better if there was one central policy.
"Currently, it's borough by borough. That doesn't remove the desire to act, but the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing," Coderre said.

"Infants and toddlers are remarkable, delightful, and engaging human beings who require sensitive and responsive families and teachers in order to develop into capable and caring adults. Connections with others–families, teachers, and peers–support infants and toddlers as they figure out who they are, sustain meaningful relationships, and gain knowledge about their world. As you walk through the incredible developmental journey that infants and toddlers take, you will appreciate how children influence and impact their families and teachers–and in turn how families, cultural perspectives, and the larger world influence who these infants and toddlers become."
From Chapter 1 of Infant and Toddler Development and Responsive Program Planning: A Relationship-Based Approach, Second Edition by Wittmer and Petersen
Taking an applied approach, the authors of this comprehensive guide to development, curriculum, and program planning for infants and toddlers ages pre-birth to 36 months emphasize how important nurturing adults are to the young children in their care. Written in an accessible and engaging style to appeal to students at varying levels, the overarching theme of the book is that even infants communicate and how the adults in their lives respond to them will have a profound effect on their development. The goal of the book is that students reading it will learn strategies to promote the well-being, competence, positive developmental outcomes, and quality of life for infants and toddlers and their families.
To accomplish this goal the authors have provided numerous pedagogical aids throughout the book, such as:
They also give strong emphasis on the theories behind how children develop and learn, coverage of research on the important prenatal developmental period, and the five domains of development–emotional, social, cognitive, language, and motor.
New to this Edition
NEW! Chapter One now includes a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the key elements of a relationship-based approach and the research evidence that supports it
NEW! Includes the most recent research on infant and toddler development, individualized planning, and curriculum
NEW! Written to engage the student to respect the capabilities of infants and toddlers
NEW! Discusses issues such as the effect of multiple attachments and bilingual opportunities for infants and toddlers
NEW! Includes a new chapter on observations, documentation, and assessment of infants and toddlers
NEW! Gives updated information on the effectiveness of different curriculum approaches
