McCain-Palin Pit Bulls Turn Feral
There's a long history in American politics of exploiting divisions and fanning bigotry to win elections. In recent decades those strategies were honed by Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. Now the torch has passed to Steve Schmidt, and he's done just about everything possible to fan the flames.
Schmidt's tactics and the right-wing echo chamber have convinced millions of Americans that the nation is about to elect someone who hates America and "pals around with terrorists." Just take a look at this video of supporters outside a Palin rally:
In recent weeks, the right wing has grown even more frenzied as McCain and his allies pushed the ACORN voter fraud hoax. Not only is Obama a Manchurian candidate, the thinking goes, but his evildoer comrades at ACORN are trying to steal the election. It's little wonder that some people are going berserk.
McCain, Palin, Schmidt, Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of them have created something very powerful, but very ugly, and it's grown too big for them to control. Here is just some of what happens when you train your pit bulls to fear and hate and attack, and then they get loose:
Obama lawn sign replaced by rebel flag
Obama sign burned on black family's front lawn
Anti-Obama Fury Spills Over Into Down-Ticket Contests: "Bomb Obama"
Death threat, vandalism hit ACORN after McCain comments
ACORN Deluged with Threatening and Racist Voicemails and Emails
Obama Called a Socialist and 'Un-American'
McCain supporters heckle early voters
Dead bear covered with Obama signs found at school

What is the 'Sticky Wage Theory'
The sticky wage theory is an economic hypothesis theorizing that the pay of employed workers tends to have a slow response to the changes in the performance of a company or of the broader economy. According to the theory, when unemployment rises, the wages of those workers that remain employed tend to stay the same or grow at a slower rate than before rather than falling with the decrease in demand for labor. Specifically, wages are often said to be sticky-down, meaning that they can move up easily but move down only with difficulty.
Stickiness in general is also often called "nominal rigidity" and the phenomenon of sticky wages is also often referred to as "wage stickiness."
BREAKING DOWN 'Sticky Wage Theory'
Stickiness is a theorized condition in the market, and can apply to more areas than wages alone. Stickiness, simply put, is a condition wherein a nominal price resists change. While it can often apply to wages, stickiness may also often be used in reference to prices within a market, which is also often called price stickiness. Prices, however, are generally thought of as not being as sticky as wages are, as the prices of goods often change easily and frequently in response to changes in supply and demand.
The aggregate price level, or average level of prices within a market, can become sticky due to a mixture of rigidity and flexibility in pricing. This means that price levels will not respond to large shifts in the economy as quickly as they otherwise would. Wages are often said to work in the same way: some are sticky, causing aggregate wage levels to become sticky as well.
While wage stickiness is a popular theory, one increasingly accepted by economists, though some purist neoclassical economists doubt the robustness of the theory. Proponents of the theory have posed a number of reasons as to why wages are sticky. These include the idea that workers are much more willing to accept pay raises than cuts, the idea that some workers are union members with long-term contracts and the idea that a company may not want to expose itself to the bad press associated with wage cuts.
Sticky Wage Theory in Context
According to sticky wage theory, when stickiness enters the market it will cause change to become favored in one direction over another and will trend in the favored direction. Since wages are held to be sticky-down, wage movements will trend in an upward direction more often than downward, leading to an average trend of upward movement in wages. This tendency is often referred to as "creep" (price creep when in reference to prices) or as the ratchet effect. Some economists have also theorized that stickiness can, in effect, be contagious, spilling from an affected area of the market into other unaffected areas.
This idea holds that there are generally many jobs in one area of the market that are similar to other areas of the market and, because of this, the entry of wage-stickiness into one area will bring stickiness into other areas due to competition for jobs and companies' efforts to keep wages competitive. Stickiness is also thought to have some other relatively wide-sweeping effects on the global economy. For example, in a phenomenon known as overshooting, foreign currency exchange rates may often overreact in an attempt to account for price stickiness, which can lead to a substantial degree of volatility in exchange rates around the world.
Stickiness is an important concept in macroeconomics, particularly so in Keynesian macroeconomics and New Keynesian economics. Without stickiness, wages would always adjust in more or less real time with the market and bring about relatively constant economic equilibrium. With a disruption in the market would come proportionate wage reductions without much job loss. Instead, due to stickiness, in the event of a disruption wages are more likely to remain where they are and, instead, firms are more likely to trim employment. This tendency of stickiness may explain why markets are slow to reach equilibrium, if ever.
Sticky Wages and Sticky Employment
Employment rates are also affected by the distortions in the job market produced by sticky wages. For example, in the event of a recession, like the Great Recession of 2008, nominal wages didn't decrease, due to the stickiness of wages. Rather, companies laid off employees in an effort to cut costs without reducing wages paid to the remaining employees. Later, as the economy began to come out of the recession, both wages and employment will remained sticky.
Due to the fact that it can be difficult to determine when a recession is ending, in addition to the fact that hiring new employees may often represent a higher short-term cost than a slight raise to wages, companies will often be hesitant to begin hiring new employees. In this respect, in the wake of a recession employment may often be "sticky-up." On the other hand, according to the theory, wages will often remain sticky-down and employees who made it through may see raises in pay.

Leveling Up
Note: Hey guys! This is the last call to get the Personal Excellence Book, which I'm retiring in less than 48 hours. Launched in 2010 as a one-stop guidebook to the best articles on PE, PE Book consists 202 timeless articles covering concepts just like this. I'm retiring the product this month and I share why here.
Today's post is an update of an article I wrote in 2009 on "Leveling Up." This article is also in PE Book. Grab your copy now at a limited time discount of 15%! Once I retire the PE Book, it'll not be coming back. Read here: Personal Excellence Book — Your handbook for growth
Many times in the pursuit of our goals, we hit brick walls that stop us from advancing. This is especially so when what we are trying to achieve is bigger than what we are capable of accomplishing at the point.
To achieve a state where we become bigger than our problems, we need to level up! 😀
What is leveling up? It's a concept that I learned from games. If you have played games like RPGs before, you will be familiar with it. 🙂 In RPGs, it is normal to enter a new section of the game where you can't proceed because your characters are not strong enough to defeat the enemies. This happens when the new enemies you are fighting are much stronger than the ones you've fought before. At this point if you insist on progressing, you'll probably get killed and have to return to a nearby inn to rest.
So what do you do now? Do you stop playing? Of course not! The next step is to train and level up your characters. When your characters level up, they gain an increase in their stats, such as HP (hit points = your health bar. the more HP you have, the more damage you can withstand), strength, defence, dexterity, and so on. Sometimes leveling up results in the characters acquiring a new special move/technique (or limit break for those of you Final Fantasy fans) that makes them much more powerful than before. 😀 With their increased powers, defeating the new enemies becomes a piece of cake and you are now able to advance to the next stage of the game!
So how does this apply to real life? When you face obstacles in a goal, obstacles that you're not able to tackle at this moment, it just means that the goal is currently bigger than you. What you should do then is to level up. Level up such that you become stronger, better, and smarter and you are able to conquer these obstacles consequently.
In games, you level up by fighting weaker enemies, gaining experience points (XP), and accumulating your XP such that you hit the next level. The more XP you gain, the more levels you gain. The levels you gain, the stronger you become.
Mirroring this to real life, this means you should tackle a smaller version of your goal first. Tackle it and become great at doing it. As you do so, you'll gain XP, which then helps you level up.
So meaning,
- If you want to be a great coach, start by coaching people around you first. Get good at coaching them before you look at doing this at a professional level. Read: Are Coaching Courses Necessary To Be a Coach?
- If you want to be a great artist, start by mastering simple artwork.
- If you want to be a great public speaker, start with presentations to small groups. Perfect your oration and presentation skills in front of these folks. This will help you speak to a larger group with ease. Read: 9 Essential Tips to Overcome the Fear of Public Speaking and 21 Ways to Deliver Interesting and Engaging Presentations
- If you want to be a great programmer, start by developing simple software that solves simple problems.
- If you want to write a book, try blogging first. Or if possible, write on a platform with an existing audience, like a newsletter column for a company/school. Get good at your writing skills and be comfortable writing to a live audience before you jump to a book, which is infinitely harder than writing short articles. Check out my podcast: PEP 008: How to Overcome Writer's Block
- If you want to build a traffic of 10,000 visitors per day but your blog is new, start with 100 visitors first. Master having a traffic of 100 visitors/day, then look at a higher tier like 200 visitors/day, followed by 500 visitors/day, etc.
- If you want to earn $10,000 a month, work on earning $5,000 a month first. If you're not earning anywhere near $5,000 a month, then aim for a target that's 10–20% higher than your current income.
- If you want to earn passive income of $X, master earning an active income of $X first. Earning passive income is significantly harder than earning active income, something I taught my students in my passive income course.
The process of working on these small goals will help you gain skills and XP, eventually reaching a new level. You know you have leveled up when…
- Your current goals are too easy for you
- You can complete what you set out to do and still have buffer to do more
- You keep getting positive feedback for a job well done
When that happens, it's time to up the ante. 😀 Instead of playing in your current sandbox, you are now ready to move on to a more challenging goal! That's because when you keep working on the same old goals and the same targets you've already achieved, you don't grow. You can only stay at the same level. By progressing to a bigger goal, you (1) push yourself out of your comfort zone and (2) stretch yourself to develop new skills.
This means…
- If you are getting many people approaching you for coaching advice, start charging a small fee. This will help you manage your demand, give targeted attention to your clients, and push you to provide a better value service.
- If you have developed simple software that works well, create more complex software that solves bigger problems.
- If you are getting 100 visitors/day to your blog, aim for 200 visitors/day next.
- If you're comfortable presenting to 10 people, then speak to an audience of 20 next.
As you do this, you will gain even more XP. At one point, you level up. Soon, your "new" goals become easy for you and you are ready to take on bigger goals.
Before you know it, you have reached such a high level that you are ready conquer that very goal that stumped you in the beginning. Except this time, you have become so skilled in your craft that it's no longer a nerve-wrecking process doing it. Rather than it being an insurmountable obstacle, it's now just a small hurdle to cross. 🙂
Is there any goal you have been struggling with? How can you level up such that this goal is no longer a struggle, but a simple breeze? 🙂

Life behind bars
Bob Browning, former Forest Grove attorney, talks about two years he spent in prison
Bob Brownings first cellmate, a heroin dealer, laid out the harsh reality of prison life: If you run into trouble, nobodys going to help you and if youre smart, you wont help anyone else.
As a municipal court judge for Gaston and a longtime land-use lawyer, Browning had been in courtrooms and visited the Washington County Jail plenty of times before May 31, 2013.
But on that date, the Forest Grove resident entered Oregons correctional system as an inmate.
Browning pleaded conditional no contest to 13 counts of criminal mistreatment in the first degree (a Class C felony) related to financial transactions involving his mother and mother-in-law, who had both died by the time the case came to court.
Although the plea acknowledges there was enough evidence for him to be found guilty, Browning maintains prosecutors misunderstood the family dynamics behind those transactions and is appealing the interpretation of the charges wording. It could be another two years before the state Court of Appeals makes a decision, meaning Brownings plea could be thrown out long after he actually served time for it.
Initially sentenced to 40 months in prison, Browning got time off for good behavior. Not counting two days in the Washington County Jail, he served a total of two years, three months in four different state correctional institutions: Coffee Creek in Wilsonville, Deer Ridge in Madras, Two Rivers in Umatilla and Columbia River in Portland.
In addition, he was suspended from the Oregon State Bar and later resigned so can no longer practice as an attorney.
Browning, 70, got out of prison Sept. 2 and is living with his daughter until he gets back on his feet. He sat down with the News-Times last week to talk about what a white, middle-class, college-educated, male senior citizen learned in prison and whether the advice from his first cellmate proved correct. The conversation has been edited for clarity and space.
News-Times: How scared were you of going to prison before you actually had to go in?
Browning: I had some anxiety the first two nights in prison. I didnt want to go before but I was more concerned about what my family, friends and clients would think of me. It was self-centered. Id like to think that if prison taught me anything, you have to think of other people first.
Once I got there and got to chatting with the guys a little bit, I figured out that most of them were as anxious as I was. A lot of them were less educated, less sophisticated, less person-of-the-world, less mature, less able to cope than I was. That gave me hope and that gave me power ... I only felt like I was in prison three hours a day. All the other hours went to daily life activites: I can sleep anywhere, I can watch TV anywhere, I can read a book anywhere, and I still gotta have three meals a day, whether in prison or not.
And youre saying those times didnt feel like prison time?
To me they didnt ... other than sometimes having a little hassle with whos going to be at what table. Or sometimes its awful noisy during the night. Sometimes guys are screaming. I mean, one of the nights I was in the jail, we had one guy who laughed 24 hours a day. Like crazy laughter, 24 hours a day. Thank God I was only in the pod for two nights.
Im curious what kinds of stereotypes you had going in to prison and what surprised you?
I just spent two years, three months with paranoid, sadistic, arbitrary, capricious, relatively-low-level-of-intelligence people as well as about 7,000 inmates.
Youre talking about the corrections officers?
Many COs are crazy. Every correctional institution has a different culture as far as the management goes. Every institution has a different set of rules, which in many cases bear no relationship to what theyre supposed to do. Theyre arbitrary.
So the corrections officers were the biggest surprise to you?
Its probably like a quarter of them are just really professional, good, helpful, doing-their-job kind of folks. Half, like everybody else, are just leading lives of quiet desperation, trying to make enough money so their kids can go to college, keep a little food on the table. But the vehemence of some of those in that quarter of the ones I felt were crazy really surprised me how nasty, sadistic ... one inmate I knew told me he and another fellow got into a fight, they were put into segregation, put into the same cell, and the corrections officer uncuffed the other guy and left the guy I knew cuffed up. He got beaten to shreds.
Dont some corrections officers step in when theres inmate violence?
Most of the COs dont want to do the paperwork so they dont worry about it .... thats why they dont want anybody killed. You know how much paperwork it takes when somebody dies?
The administration doesnt seem to care much about inmate abuse: Theyre just criminals, what difference does it make?
The lack of overall consistency and coordination from top to bottom in the Department of Corrections really surprised me.
Were any of the COs abusive to you?
Yes. Not physically abusive but psychologically.
In what way?
Really looked down on me because I had been a judge and a lawyer. Theres a real hierarchy in prison, both among the inmates and among the correctional staff, with serial killers at the top ... If youve killed more than one person you tend to get a lot of respect. Not that theyre necessarily the meanest. Some of em are real wimps.
And then clear down to the bottom, which the lowest of the low is probably cell thieves guys who steal from their cellies (cell mates) snitches, sex offenders.
Whats interesting is when I was in the gang unit, I was in my cell by myself for a week and a half and then they assigned a cellie to me, a sex offender. And I chatted with him and I chatted with the other sex offenders and I realized that generally they were more intelligent and interesting than the independent whites Id been hanging out with.
Why do you think that was the case?
I strongly believe a third of them are innocent. Of 150 SOs I ran into during my time in prison, Id say 50 of them were wrongly convicted.
Innocent in that they did not do it?
I dont believe they committed the crime they were convicted for.
Or the kind of thing where theyre boyfriend-girlfriend in high school, but theres a three-year age difference and one of them is 18?
Oh, I saw a bunch of those, too. They were guilty but there was no way they should have gone to prison. Thats a different class.
Did you run across other people there in prison you
were convinced were not guilty?
Absolutely ... and I would say that 50 percent of the people in prison are not guilty of what theyre there for. But the district attorneys especially in recent years the DAs so overcharge, and the public defender service has gotten so overwhelmed, so just about everybody ends up taking a plea (i.e., pleading to a lesser charge, even if they maintain their innocence, because theres too much risk of a devastating sentence if a jury were to convict them on the more serious charge). {img:85999}
The average John Doe Citizen has not a clue to the abuses in the system.
Were there any moments of kindness or courage you saw from people?
All the time, but little stuff. Somebody would trip and fall and somebody would reach out their hand and help them get up. But other guys would walk by and step on their hand. Weird little acts of kindness all the time in situations youd never expect, where people who were otherwise big, bad bullies would do or say something that was just actually kind. Like saying Good morning. Nobody says Good morning, you just say Morning because Dont tell me what kind of morning to have!
I had COs who would actually get pissed at me because I said Good morning to them. It was just bizarre.
Did the prison system do any good for people? Do they come out of prison with an education?
Go on to DOCs website. Theyll talk about the kids who get their GEDs. Theyll talk about the kids who go through the Drug and Alcohol treatment. But I cannot think of a single person out of the thousand people I had interaction with at some point or another, where being in prison has done anything for them. The system doesnt work.
Were there good things about your own prison experience?
In a negative way, yes. Before prison, I was diagnosed with diabetic dementia. I was losing track of where I was going in my life. My first wife, Judy, passed away in 2006. And the second wife left me. I sold my Cadillac. I really had nothing. In some ways, the taxpayers of the state of Oregon contributed about $325,000 (including medical costs for several life-threatening health issues) for my care for 27 months that I would not have been able to support and care for myself. It was better than living under the
west end of the Gales Creek bridge.
Anything else?
Being 45 pounds lighter is a good thing. If I hadnt gone to prison that would not have
happened. I actually lost 75 pounds in the first 100 days. Down to 220 from 295. I can bend over now. I can pick up things.
Do letters from outside make a difference?
Oh. Oh. Huge difference. I mean, Forest Grove United Church of Christ, I mean they made it bearable. Got the newsletter monthly. Got from one to three letters a week. Gave me something to come back to.
Is that unusual?
Very. I felt unbelievably blessed to have that many people who cared that much.
How has the re-entry period been? What was it like walking into the UCC when you got back?
Oh, my God. Wasnt quite enough Kleenex.
Overall, how has prison changed you?
I had to accept my shortcomings, my faults. In fact, one of the guys in prison said, Ill miss you and I said Why? and he said, When you screw up, you admit it. So many
people are so unwilling to do that.
Also, I wont pretend Im born again, but I am more willing to acknowledge in public the spirituality Ive always felt I had. And I was able to share my support with other inmates in need.
How would you change the prison system?
The first two things Id have them do is that the COs would learn to say please and thank you and that they would refer to the inmates, not as Browning, get your ass in here, but Mr. Browning, would you please come in here. Some people say Well, thats just phony. Maybe its phony, but its still polite. Its simple, its little, itss nothing, but it would be a start.a

This invention relates in general to the field of electronic computing device displays. More particularly, the present invention relates to a calculator projection display.
Overhead projectors have long been used by educators and lecturers to project an illuminated and enlarged image on a screen for viewing by an audience. With the increasing use of computers, powerful calculators and other electronic computing devices as pedagogical, demonstration or illustration devices, there is a need to enlarge and project the computer and/or calculator screen display for group viewing.
One attempt to achieve this capability employs a duplicate liquid crystal display (LCD) coupled to the calculator to generate the same data and configuration as displayed on the calculator display screen. This duplicate liquid crystal display is then positioned approximately ten inches above the projector document surface by the use of a stand or platform. Such a stand usually incorporates a magnifying lens positioned above the duplicate liquid crystal display to further enlarge the projected image in order to project an adequately large image.
Although such setups achieve the desired function, i.e., enlarge and project the calculator screen display, they have fatal flaws. Due to the internal projector condenser lens arrangement, the light emitting from the projector light source is more concentrated at the elevated point than at the document surface. The elevated duplicate liquid crystal display is thus subject to more concentrated energy per square inch, which translates to its substantial heating. Since typical liquid crystal displays have an operating temperature upper limit of 50� to 80� C., the elevated stand arrangement quickly causes overheating of the duplicate liquid crystal display and its associated electronics. As a result, the projected image darkens and yields progressively less contrast between the pixels on the display and the lit background. Frequent contrast adjustment or shutting off the projector therefore becomes necessary within the time span of a typical class session or lecture.
One solution to the duplicate liquid crystal display overheating and darkening problem is to use a pre-shaped heat shield placed on the projector document surface beneath the stand to decrease the amount of light energy striking the duplicate liquid crystal assembly. Because the heat shield is usually a separate piece of cardboard with no obviously discernable function, it is easily overlooked, lost or discarded by the unsuspecting user. The heat shield, although reducing the amount of heating in the liquid crystal display, is still unable to prevent overheating for a prolonged period of use. This solution is therefore unsatisfactory and merely acts as a bandage to the underlying problem.
Another solution to the duplicate liquid crystal display overheating and darkening problem is to use forced-air convection. A motorized fan is incorporated into the duplicate liquid crystal display assembly to vent air upward from the bottom surface of the duplicate liquid crystal display. However, the added fan and associated hardware not only draw additional electricity from the power source, but also they contribute added weight and bulk to the duplicate liquid crystal display assembly. Since portability is a requisite specification in the design of the calculator or computer screen projector, this solution is also undesirable.
Accordingly, a need has arisen for a remote calculator or computer screen projection display that overcomes the above-described disadvantages and problems.
In accordance with the present invention, apparatus and a method for calculator projection display are provided which substantially eliminate or reduce disadvantages and problems associated with prior circuits.
In one aspect of the present invention, a projection display for an electronic data processing device for use in conjunction with an overhead projector is provided. The projection display includes a display with a light transmitting screen, and the screen is framed by a uniquely constructed housing. The housing defines a free convection air channel below the screen, which conducts a cooling air flow to eliminate image deterioration due to screen overheating.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method of projecting an image generated by a computing device to avoid screen overheating is provided. The method includes the steps of elevating an underside surface of the light transmitting screen display slightly above an overhead projector, and forming a free convection cooling channel between the overhead projector and the underside surface of said light transmitting screen display.
For a better understanding of the present invention, reference may be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a calculator projection display positioned on an overhead projector and tethered to a calculator;
FIG. 2 is a top view of a calculator projection display;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side view of a calculator projection display showing a free convection air channel; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram of associated circuitry of a calculator projection display.
With reference to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a calculator projection display, indicated generally at 10 and constructed according to the teaching of the present invention. In order to clearly describe the invention, like numerals are being used for like and corresponding parts in the drawing figures. In FIG. 1, calculator projection display 10 is shown positioned on an overhead projector 12 and tethered to a computing device 14. Overhead projector 12 is commonly used to enlarge and project an image placed on its document surface 16 onto a large screen (not shown). Typically, overhead projector 12 directs light from a light source (not shown) located in its base 18 upward through document surface 16 and through an overhead lens assembly 20. The light, now carrying an enlarged image, is then projected onto the screen.
Calculator projection display 10 is linked to a computing device 14, shown as a calculator in FIG. 1. Computing device 14 may also be a data processing device such as a computer (not shown) or a gaming device such as a hand-held video game. Computing device 14 has a local display screen 22 providing the user visual information resulting from computations, graph plotting, and other data manipulation processes. Calculator projection display 10 is coupled to computing device 14 by a cable 24 which may be detachable. As shown, calculator projection display 10 is positioned directly on top of the document surface 16 of overhead projector 12, and no elevation thereof is necessary to enlarge the projected image.
FIG. 2 shows a more detailed illustration of calculator projection display 10. Calculator projection display 10 incorporates a light transmitting display screen 30, such as a liquid crystal display with light impeding pixels, into a uniquely structured housing 32. Display screen 30 is of a size sufficiently large so that a clear image is projected onto the screen that is adequate for a large audience. Therefore, display screen 30 of calculator projection display 10 is substantially larger than the screen display of a typical calculator. It has been shown that a display screen of approximately 188 millimeters by 128 millimeters is adequate for this purpose, as compared with a typical graphics calculator screen of approximately 71 millimeters by 51 millimeters. Display screen 30 may additionally utilize the same number but proportionally larger pixels as the calculator display screen to enhance the clarity of the resultant visual image.
Housing 32 provides a frame and support around screen display 30. It additionally houses electronics associated with screen display 30. The planar size of housing 32 is preferably selected so that it sufficiently obstructs light projected upward from base 18 of overhead projector 12. Dimensioned in this manner, the only lit image projected onto the screen is the visual information shown on screen display 30.
Housing 32 serves an even more important function. Referring also to FIG. 3, a free convection cooling channel is revealed in a simplified cross-sectional view of housing 32. Free convection cooling channel spans the entire width of display screen 30 and includes a low-lying air inlet 40 and an elevated air outlet 34. Air inlet 40 leads directly to an up ramp 42, which leads directly to an underside surface of display screen 30 and document surface 16 of overhead projector 12. The area directly under display screen 30 and a housing portion 50, which houses display screen 30 electronics, constitutes a cooling zone 44 of the free convection cooling channel. Cooling zone 44 then leads directly to a riser 46 and a chimney 45 formed by an end piece 48. As shown, chimney 45 leads to air outlet 34.
In operation, substantial heat is generated primarily due to the intense light energy from the light source in overhead projector 12 striking screen display 30. If not properly managed, the heat generated is capable of rendering screen display 30 inoperational. Liquid crystal display screens are known to darken substantially until the images are undiscernible when such overheating occurs. In calculator projection display 10, a passive heat management scheme is employed so that no such image deterioration occurs.
During initial operation, the volume of warm air in cooling zone 44 increases until it overcomes the small obstacle presented by housing portion 50 and can escape upward by way of chimney 45 and air outlet 34. Warm air does not flow out from inlet 40 since the lower density of warm air causes it to rise, and air inlet 40 is lower than air outlet 34. Once initial air movement is established in this manner by free convection, cool air is induced to continuously enter through air inlet 40. The low lying air inlet 40 and elevated outlet 34 are designed to take full advantage of the density difference between cool air and warm air to induce air flow. The cool air entering inlet 40 is directed upward toward the center of display screen 30 by the unique geometry of ramp 42, thus cooling it substantially. The air is then pushed further through cooling zone 44 by incoming cool air until it encounters riser 46 and end piece 48, which further directs the air flow upward through chimney 45 and out of air outlet 34. A steady air flow through the free convection cooling channel is thus established for adequately cooling calculator projection display 10.
As air continuously flows through the free convection cooling channel, substantial air velocity is achieved. The air exiting air outlet 34 therefore rises with such speed that it induces an horizontal air flow immediately above screen display 30 toward air outlet 34. The end result is two cooling air streams flowing above and below liquid crystal display 30 and a rising plume of hot air located above outlet 34 and housing portion 50.
It is also worthwhile to note that all surfaces expected to encounter air flow are made smooth and constructed geometrically to enhance air circulation. For example, both the top and bottom leading edges of housing portion 50 are beveled to minimize obstruction of air flow. Furthermore, ramp 42 passageway expands slightly to encourage air induction at inlet 40. It is contemplated that air induction may be further enhanced by placing a black or dark product label at the bottom horizontal surface of end piece 48. The black or dark surface would cause air in the free convection cooling channel immediately above it to heat up more quickly than at other parts of the channel. Therefore, the rising of such warm air out of outlet 34 may further promote the desired air flow. The same function may be achieved by using a dark material for the bottom surface of end piece 48.
Referring to FIG. 4, a simplified schematic block diagram of the electronics associated with calculator projection display 10 and computing device 14 is shown. As discussed above, calculator projection display 10 and computing device 14 are coupled together by a cable 24. Computing device or calculator 14 has a microprocessor 60 coupled to a memory, which may include a read-only-memory (ROM) 62 and a random access memory (RAM) 64. Computing device 14 further includes a user interface such as a keyboard or keypad 66. Microprocessor 60 is further coupled to liquid crystal display drivers and buffers 68 which are connected to the local display 22 of computing device 14. Drivers and buffers 68 may include row and column display drivers, which are not illustrated explicitly. Microprocessor 60 is further coupled to a line driver/buffer 70 which drives cable 24 that is coupled to liquid crystal display drivers 74 of calculator projection display 10. A remote liquid crystal display 30 is coupled to drivers 74. Further provided is a contrast control circuit and knob 36 for screen display 30.
In operation, microprocessor 60 preferably produces the same signals to both sets of display drivers 68 and 74. Thus, identical images are displayed on both local screen display 22 and remote screen display 30. As a teacher or lecturer uses calculator 14, he or she may view its displayed results on local screen display 22, while the audience may view the same image projected by calculator projection display 10 on a large vertical screen (not shown). The length of cable 24 should permit the speaker to freely move about a limited area in front of the audience and allow the speaker to face the audience while performing functions on computing device 14.
Constructed in this manner, calculator projection display 10 may be used for an extended period of time without noticeable deterioration of the displayed images due to overheating. Free or natural convection is employed without the weight, bulk, expense and energy consumption of forced air convection means. A unique cooling channel is provided to conduct air flow through the heated zones and to carry away warm air and replace it with cool air.
Although the present invention and its advantages have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Researchers have come up with a way of protecting telecoms networks using quantum cryptography without the need for expensive dedicated optical fibre links.
The technique, developed by Toshiba's European research laboratory in Britain and Cambridge University engineers, is a step towards perfect security for everything from credit card transactions to private health records.
Quantum cryptography relies on the rules of quantum theory to generate uncrackable codes that encrypt data in a way that reveals if it has been eavesdropped or tampered with.
Governments and the military are thought to be using the technology already, based on systems available from firms like ID Quantique in Switzerland and US rival MagiQ.
But until now, the quantum keys to encode and decode the information had to be sent on single photons, or particles of light, across a dedicated optical fibre separate from the line carrying the data itself.
"The requirement of separate fibres has greatly restricted the applications of quantum cryptography in the past, as unused fibres are not always available for sending the single photons, and even when they are, can be prohibitively expensive," said Andrew Shields from Toshiba Research in Cambridge.
"Now we have shown that the single photon and data signals can be sent using different wavelengths on the same fibre."
The Toshiba system, outlined in research published in the journal Physical Review X, still requires an advanced detector that picks up the encryption key in a time window of just 100 millionths of a micro-second, at the expected arrival time of the single photons.
But the detector, which is able to filter out the 'noise' in the fibre caused by the data itself, avoids the cost of laying down dedicated optical fibre lines.
Previous work has managed to use quantum cryptography on shared optical fibres but only over very short distances, with low capacity rates, or with data moving only in one direction.
The researchers say their system can do it over 50 km with data moving back and forth and an encryption capacity 50,000 times the record over the same distance.
Zhiliang Yuan, who worked on the research, told Reuters the team plan to carry out field tests on the system but he predicted it could be rolled out commercially within a few years.

Russ Harding, director of the Center's Property Rights Network, is cited in a Detroit News editorial today about proposed legislation that would place all groundwater in Michigan in a "public trust."
The News cites this Viewpoint by Harding, which explains how Michigan for well over a century has used riparian water rights to guide public policy on the matter. Such as approach, Harding explains, is used by most states east of the Mississippi, and gives property owners rights to reasonable use of the water under the land they own. This approach has served Michigan well, Harding says, because Michigan has an abundance of groundwater. "If Michigan has a water shortage," Harding has been known to ask, "then why do so many homes require sump pumps?" House Bill 5319, however, would put that water in a public trust and require property owners to obtain a permit from the state to use the water.
Harding's Viewpoint explains that an amendment to the Ohio Constitution last year strengthening riparian water rights there passed with 72 percent of the vote.

South Wales Scorpions' star half-back Loz Wildbore is enjoying his new challenge with the Welsh club and is looking forward to the match against London Skolars at The Gnoll in Neath this Sunday (kick-off 2pm).
Wildbore started his professional rugby league career at Hull FC Academy followed by spells at Hull KR, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, Doncaster, Featherstone Rovers, Widnes Vikings, Dewsbury Rams and York City Knights.
It was when he was at Hull Kingston Rovers that he met the now Scorpions coach Anthony Seibold. Wildbore says that the Australian made such an impression on him that he requested to sign for the Scorpions when he heard that Seibold was involved.
