Description This invention relates generally to fluid pressure transducers and packaging therefor and more particularly to low pressure sensing transducers and to transducers adapted for use in environments containing electromagnetic radiation such as in automotive, industrial and wireless communication environments. Pressure transducers of the type which comprise a thin, relatively flexible diaphragm portion of suitable material, such as silicon or ceramic, on which either a selected resistive element or a capacitive plate is printed whereby exposure to a fluid pressure source causes deflection of the diaphragm will cause a change in the resistive value of the resistive element or a change in the spacing of the capacitive plate with a mating capacitive plate and concomitantly a change in capacitance are well known in the art. When used as a low pressure sensor, economical packaging of the transducer in a housing so that an effective seal is obtained while at the same time preventing stress related to the mounting and sealing of the transducer from influencing the output becomes problematic. This is caused, at least in part, by the significant difference in thermal expansion between the material used to form the transducer, e.g., silicon, ceramic or the like, and the housing of plastic or the like. A conventional sealing arrangement involves placement of a ring of sealing material around an inlet pressure port in a housing and mounting the transducer so that the pressure sensitive diaphragm is precisely aligned with the pressure port. This conventional arrangement not only involves stress isolation issues, it also limits flexibility in design choices in defining the location of the transducer within the package. Another problem involved with liquid pressure transducer designs whether for use in monitoring high or low fluid pressure sources relates to their use in environments, such as automotive, industrial and communication, which contain electromagnetic radiation which cause interference (EMI) with the transducer signal. Typically, an outer electrically conductive metallic housing electrically tied to ground is used in which to mount the transducer package in order to shield the assembly from such EMI. This approach, however, not only adds to the expense of the product by adding to the part count of the assembly but it is also cumbersome and adds to the physical size of the package which is undesirable since such transducers are typically located in areas in which space is at a premium. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method which overcome the above noted prior art limitations. Another object of the invention is to provide a fluid pressure transducer particularly suitable for use with relatively low pressure levels which is inexpensive to manufacture yet has improved yield and reliability. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a pressure transducer having improved means for isolating the transducer from EMI. Briefly stated, a fluid pressure transducer made in accordance with a first feature of the invention comprises a housing formed of suitable material such as plastic having a cavity defined by a bottom wall circumscribed by a raised seating platform,the top surface of which lies in a first plane, and enclosing sidewalls extending upwardly from the platform. A plurality of height control pins extend upwardly from the bottom wall to a position which lie in a second plane spaced above the first plane by a specific, defined dimension or gap. A bead of flexible adhesive sealing material, such as RTV, is placed on the platform circumscribing the bottom wall and extending to some height above the second plane. A fluid pressure transducer formed of silicon, ceramic or the like and having a diaphragm formed in the bottom surface thereof spaced inwardly of the outer perimeter of the transducer is mounted on a circuit board formed of ceramic or other suitable material and sealed thereto by a bead of suitable sealant material, such as RTV, around the outer perimeter of the transducer. A suitable bore is formed through the circuit board at any desired location with the transducer aligned with the bore so that the diaphragm of the transducer is exposed to fluid pressure received through the bore. The circuit board is configured and sized to be received on the platform and to completely enclose the bottom wall of the housing. The circuit board is placed on the adhesive sealing bead on the platform prior to curing of the bead material and pressed downwardly into engagement with the height control pins so that a pressure seal comprising a bead of uniform, controlled height is formed all around the periphery of the circuit board. A first pressure port is formed in the bottom wall of the housing at any convenient location on one side of the circuit board and a second pressure port may be formed in the sidewall of the housing at any convenient location at a height above the location of the sealing bead on the other side of the circuit board. The provision of the height control pins used in conjunction with the platform to form a sealing bead of uniform height greatly facilitates automated assembly as well as providing complete flexibility in locating the transducer at any desired location of the circuit board. According to another feature of the invention, the top surface of the circuit board on which the transducer is received, as well as the top surface of the transducer body itself, are metallized to form EMI shielding surfaces. These surfaces are electrically connected together by means of suitable wire bond connections with another electrical connection being made from one of the metallized surfaces to a ground. This results in EMI protection without adding to the physical size of the device as well as without adding to the parts count and with minimal effect on cost. Other objects, advantages and details of the novel and improved pressure transducer of this invention appear in the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention, the detailed description referring to the drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a transducer housing with an enclosing top lid removed for purposes of illustration; FIG. 2 is a cross section taken on lines 2, 2—2 of FIG. 1 and additionally showing a transducer and circuit board mounted in the housing and showing the top lid in phantom lines; FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross section of the transducer and a portion of the circuit board shown in FIG. 2; and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the transducer and a portion of the circuit board of FIG. 2. Dimensions of certain of the parts may have been altered for purposes of illustration. With reference to FIGS. 1-3, a fluid pressure sensing transducer 10 is shown comprising a housing formed of suitable, preferably moldable, plastic material having a bottom wall 12 a completely circumscribed by a raised platform 12 b, in effect forming a recess or lower cavity 12 e in bottom wall 12 a. The top surface of platform 12 b lies in a first plane. Sidewalls 12 c extend upwardly from platform 12 b to a free distal end defining an upper cavity 14 therein. A top lid 16, shown in phantom lines, may be used to close the cavity. Three height control pins 12 d extend upwardly from bottom wall 12 a to a distal free end which lie in a second plane a selected distance above and parallel to the first plane in which the top surface of platform 12 b lies for a purpose to be discussed below. A circuit board 18 of suitable material such as ceramic is received on height control pins 12 d with an adhesive sealant 20 of suitable material such as RTV being disposed between the outer perimeter portion of the circuit board and platform 12 b. The outer configuration of circuit board 18 matches that of platform 12 b and is sized so that the outer perimeter of the board is greater in length and width than that of the length and width of the recess 12 e. The plastic material of housing 12 has a significantly greater thermal coefficient of expansion than that of either the ceramic of circuit board 18 or the ceramic or silicon material of transducer 22 mounted on board 18 so that special care is required to deal with stress isolation issues when mounting and sealing the circuit board to the plastic housing. By means of the height control pins and the platform, a seal is obtained which has a uniform, defined gap all around the periphery of the board controlled to a tight tolerance. This is accomplished by placing a bead of flexible, adhesive sealing material having a height greater than the distance between the first and second planes and then placing circuit board 18 onto the bead before the sealing material has cured and depressing the circuit board until it engages the tops of the height control pins 12 d and maintaining the board in that position until the sealing material has cured. Tapered guide elements 12 f, 12 g, extending inwardly from sidewall 12 c, are used to guide circuit board 18 to a predetermined central location on platform 12 b. Preferably prior to the installation of circuit board 18 into housing 12, a transducer 22 composed of suitable material, such as silicon or ceramic, is mounted on the circuit board at any suitable location. The board is provided with a bore 18 a formed at the selected location so that a relatively flexible diaphragm 22 e of the transducer is in fluid pressure receiving relationship with the bore (see FIG. 3). Although various fluid pressure transducers can be employed in the invention including, for example, capacitive and resistive, for purposes of illustrating the invention, a capacitive transducer is shown comprising a rigid upper base portion 22 a formed with a recessed area 22 c and a lower portion 22 b having a central portion recessed at 22 d, as by micro-machining in the case of silicon, in a known manner, to form a relatively thin, flexible diaphragm portion 22 e. The lower peripheral surface 22 f serves as an attachment surface for mounting, as shown in FIG. 3. A sealing layer 24 of suitable adhesive material, such as RTV, is used to attach the transducer to the circuit board in fluid sealed relation thereto. Since the thermal coefficient of expansion of the transducer material (silicon, ceramic or the like) is not substantially different from that of the circuit board material (e.g. ceramic), conventional attachment techniques can be employed without creating significant stress issues. Upper base portion 22 a is formed with opposed capacitor plates 22 g, 22 h suitably deposited on the upper surface of recess 22 c of base portion 22 a within the recess and on the upper surface 22 k of lower portion 22 b. Suitable electrical traces (not shown) connect the plates and guard rings (not shown) to connection pads 22 m, 22 n, 22 o on the top surface of transducer 22 and shown in FIG. 4 and to be discussed below in relation to another feature of the invention. A second pressure port 22 r is formed in base portion 22 a in communication with recess 22 c although the invention is applicable to sensors in which recess 22 c is sealed either with a reference pressure or a partial vacuum. Upper and lower transducer portions 22 a, 22 b are sealed together in a known manner. Typically, circuit board 18 is provided with signal conditioning electronics 26 as indicated by phantom lines 26 in FIG. 2 with pads 22 m, 22 n and 22 o connected to respective traces 26 a, 26 b and 26 c respectively as by use of wires 28 (FIG. 4). Electrical connection between circuit board 18 and suitable control devices and the like (not shown) is made through aperture 12 g of sidewall 12 c and shroud 12 h of the transducer housing. According to another feature of the invention, the top surface of circuit board 18 is provided with an electrically conductive metal layer 30 a placed under transducer 22 and which may, if desired, extend on either side of conditioning circuitry 26, and traces 26 a, 26 b, 26 c as indicated in FIG. 4. Metal layer 30 a can be applied by any conventional means as by deposition, screen printing or the like. Another metal layer 30 b is provided on the top surface of transducer 22, again by any suitable means such as that used for layer 30 a, and is suitably spaced from bonding pads 22 m, 22 n, 22 o to provide appropriate electrical isolation therefrom. Metal layers 30 a, 30 b are electrically joined together by a wire 28 suitably bonded to both layers. Another suitable connection (not shown) is preferably made from one of layer 30 a, 30 b to a lead extending out of the transducer housing 12 for attachment to a predetermined voltage such as ground either directly or through a suitable capacitor (not shown). The above described metal layers 30 a, 30 b provide effective shielding from EMI. In environments such as automotive and many industrial and wireless communication settings such shielding is of increasing importance. In accordance with the invention, the shielding is provided without any significant cost and without adding to the size of the transducer housing. It will be appreciated that the shielding features of the invention can be applied not only to pressure transducers but to virtually any electrical device which is subject to EMI. Although in the described embodiment the electrically conductive layers are shown both on the transducer and the s circuit board, it will be appreciated that one or more layers on a transducer connected to a predetermined voltage will enhance protection of the electrical signal of the transducer from electromagnetic interference. With respect to the transducer housing, the use of the controlled height feature of the sealing bead between circuit board 18 and platform 12 b by means of height control pins 12 d permits the sealing material to act as a stress-isolating adhesive which also seals the pressure cavities on either side of the circuit board from each other. Further, the invention results in being able to locate pressure port 12 m and its opening 12 p into cavity 12 e, along with the location of bore 18 a in the printed circuit, at any desired location to enhance design flexibility since the seal location with the plastic housing is at the outer perimeter of the circuit board rather than being related to the location of the port. Placement of the sealing bead on the platform is much less critical than it would be in placing such a seal closely adjacent to the port opening and therefore results in a device in which assembly of the device is more conducive to automation including the dispensing and placement of sealant 20. With respect to the particular pressure transducer 22 shown and described it will be understood that variations in pressure introduced through port couplings 12 m, 12 n will cause the relatively thin diaphragm portion 22 e to flex thereby changing the distance between plates 22 g, 22 h and concomitantly the capacitance. The capacitance signal is conditioned by conventional electronics 26 to provide an electrical signal corresponding to the pressure differential. By way of example, the signal conditioning circuitry may be of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,951,236, assigned to the assignee of the present invention and which is incorporated herein by this reference. Although a capacitive transducer has been described, it will be appreciated that the invention of the stress-isolation features can be utilized with non-capacitive transducers such as a resistive as well. Pressure transducer apparatus made in accordance with invention can be used in a variety of applications. When used as a differential sensor as shown in the drawings the seal provided by sealant 20 is effective when the first port 12 m is connected to a high fluid pressure source to be monitored within a range from a low of a couple of inches of water up to approximately 50 psi and when the second pressure source is connected to a low pressure source such as atmospheric. By way of example, in one application with which the apparatus is used, the high pressure source (port m) is approximately 0.2 psi and the low pressure source is atmospheric (port n). It should be understood that although preferred embodiments of the invention have been described by way of illustrating the invention, this invention includes all modifications and equivalents of the described embodiment falling within the scope of the appended claims.

Disciplinary behaviour: Museum Studies project hosts symposium
As part of its ongoing Re-Presenting Reformation project, our School of Museum Studies is hosting a one-day symposium on Disciplinarity next Friday, 20 April 2012.
Participants from a range of institutions, including Yale, the Tate, the Science Museum, the Royal Institution and various universities, will debate:
- Disciplinarity: Why do we have academic disciplines? From where did they come, and how have they evolved?
- Interdisciplinarity: How do we work best across and between disciplines? What do we gain and lose through interdisciplinarity? And...
- Post-disciplinarity: Are our academic disciplines still fit for purpose? Do we sometimes resist disciplinarity? How are disciplines viewed outside the academy?
Registration is free and the event includes refreshments and a buffet lunch. Delegates will also have the chance to view The Order of Things, a related, temporary exhibition by Museum Studies postgraduates.

Bo Ca_Cat_Mom78410. I do not watch any cable "news". It is all propaganda for one side or the other. If one "agrees" with a certain "news" outlet then, by definition, this so-called "news" can not be accurate. The phenomenon of the 24 hour news cable news cycle has been the death knell of accuracy in TV news reportage. I have blocked all "news" stations on my TV. When I surf the stations I never see O'Reilly or Obermann shouting down or waxing superfluously. I am blissfully removed from such noise. I suggest you do the same. That's why I can see the mess clearly. That's why I can see just how disruptive Murdoch is. I look forward to him removing his "news" from Google. The internet and the world will be better for it.

smart fortwo Commercial: Time to Say Goodbye to Beeping [Video]
text size: A- A+
But smart has something that's much better, and it's called a steering wheel. You yourself can be the best park assist system if the car you're driving is the size of a shoe box. Their latest commercial for the fortwo is not about perpendicular parking (which we love), but about parking sensors, or rather the lack of them.
In this commercial, the beeps from different cars are strung together to make a sound similar to the song "Time to Say Goodbye", made famous by opera singer Andrea Bocelli. It's a lovely commercial, but a bit obsessive. After all, parking is only a small part of the car experience.

This is a much needed step in the right direction. Anderson Cove has the potential to be a huge amenity for the neighborhood. Opportunities should be sought to expand the park idea into a larger redevelopment. I am afraid that the only way significant private investment will happen there is for something greater than a postage stamp park and street trees. Don't get me wrong I think its a good move, I would just encourage to keep eyes and minds open for even better public facilities. How about increasing density along 15th (where its going to happen anyway) and creating a park in the entire inner valley? Overall densities could remain the same but there could be a more significant park that attracted a broader spectrum of residents and increase the stability of the neighborhood (its currently over 70% rentals, significantly higher than the rest of Bremerton).

Don responds: Typo corrected. Thanks!
In response to: Голубой
голубой in this sense can only be applied to men, not to women.
Sometimes you may hear "розовая" in this case (women).
In response to: Помощь
Don responds: What an excellent question. Although in terms of meaning they are basically the same, grammatically they are different. In «Мне надо помощь» the word помощь is in the accusative case, and there is some implied infinitive (although I'm not at the moment sure which verb, perhaps получить?). It is an impersonal sentence with надо as the predicative. In «Мне нужна помощь» we have a personal sentence with помощь as the nominative subject and the short form adjective agreeing with it. Interesting, eh?
In response to: Бездельник
In response to: Бездельник
Anyway I've learned some interesting words from the blog... Maybe you should focus on typically or idiomatically Russian words and concepts to keep it interesting. Like I didn't realize шоколадная картошка was a thing.
Всех благ!
Don responds: Hi, Simo. Although my original target audience for the blog was first- and second-year American students of Russian, it turns out quite a few Russians read it, too, so when a guest blogger offers a detailed explanation of an English word, I have no objection, knowing that the Russians may enjoy it. Plus we may find instances where our English readers differ over the meaning of words, which should also provoke interesting discussion.
The blog is mostly written in the spare moments that I and a few acquaintances have; some day we do hope to get to things like кисть and глухой. All the best, Don.
In response to: Чувство
In response to: Guest book & general comments
Спасибо большой for such a great resource! In part it has inspired me to try my hand at creating my own Russian learning web site, Koshka Matryoshka.
Don responds: Very neat! I wish your site the best of success. DL.
In response to: Помощь
In response to: Чувство
Second, I think credit should be given for artwork such as appears in this post. I don't object to using someone else's Creation as long as it is properly acknowledged.
That said, always enjoy reading your entries. A great resource for a stifling student like myself!
Don responds: Hi, Liz. Negative comments are also welcome.
Occasionally I have guest bloggers, some of whom are just learning how to write about language. Sometimes the fledgling efforts are more successful than others. I'm just proud when a foreigner has the courage to make any comment about the Russian at all. Over the Spring 2014 semester I expect we will have more entries in the old vein. Those ones might be more to your taste.
Peace, joy and light to you, Don.
In response to: Совместная жизнь (замужем)
In response to: Помощь
1.) I noticed that you used the feminine form "нужна" in all of your examples. Does this mean that "нужен" must always agree in gender and number with the noun to which it is referring?
2.) I found a couple of handy phrases related to "помощь" in my dictionary:
-"машина скорой помощи" --> "ambulance" (literally "car of quick aid" which is kinda cool, I like the literal definition better! :)
-"первая помощь" --> "first aid"
Don responds: Richard, yes, indeed, it is the thing needed that determines the ending of нужен, not the person who needs it.
In response to: Помощь
Don responds: Андрей, thanks so much for your thought. Here's the scoop. Although I agree with you that the phrase при помощи is used with an inanimate complement for best style in Russian, I found when writing the blog entry that in fact in conversational Russian people do use the phrase with people sometimes. At the moment I consider the use of «при помощи брата» to be one of those things that is an exceedingly minor error, so minor in fact as to now be part of the standard conversational language. If I were to make a comparison, I suppose it is about equivalent to saying "Did you eat lunch?" instead of "Have you eaten lunch?" The former nowadays is extremely common in American English, so common as to not sound wrong to most people in casual conversation, although some of us still try to maintain the distinction. (I believe the distinction may still have more force in Britain, though I am not sure.)
To my ear "I fixed the toilet with a plunger" and "I fixed the toilet with my brother" are both perfectly fine sentences, so I think I didn't quite follow your point on that one.
Peace, joy and light to you, Don.
In response to: Guest book & general comments
In response to: Помогать/помочь
In response to: Душа
Don responds: «По» has a thousand uses, and one of them is a kind of measuring meaning. Thus «Машина мне не по карману» means "The car is too expensive for me" (~The car is not according to my pocket) or «Сухое вино мне не по вкусу» mean "I don't care for dry wine" (~White wine is not according to my taste). If you want a bit of amusement, look up the phrase «не по зубам».
In response to: Душа
In English we say "a cat has nine lives". Would the Russians say "у котá есть дéвять душ?
Don responds: Richard, alas, no, not as far as I know. I've been told that «живуч как кошка» is a near equivalent, but so far I don't think I believe it.
In response to: Душа
Don responds: Alas, time does not permit me to write a dissertation on душа this semester... nor probably next. However I welcome guest writers on occasion, so if anyone would like to do a little writing...
In response to: Душа
Don responds: Indeed. In these contexts душа merely means 'person.'

One of the most iconic and memorable settings in Star Wars: A New Hope is the Mos Eisley cantina. Luke and Ben come in from the wilderness and find a myriad of sentient beings of all shapes and sizes: Rodians, Duros, Bith, Yam'rii, Lamproids, Givin, and more greet the pair as they enter. The sudden profusion of alien (to human eyes) diversity helps introduce the Galaxy as a vast place full of hundreds of species. Why is it, then, that humans seem to have such a disproportionate share of the leadership roles and positions of power in the Old Republic? Join us after the jump as we delve into the history of the humans of Star Wars in an attempt to get to the bottom of this mystery.
While by no means the oldest species in the Galaxy, humans are certainly one of the most widespread and influential. We frequently refer to other species as either "near-human" or "non-human", while we never refer to humans as "non-Shistavanen" or "near-Chiss". The rise of humanity in galactic affairs is tied closely to galactic history, so we will need to examine that to see why humans occupy the place of power that they currently do.
The world that was first inhabited by humans is information that we lost to time, though most scholars agree that humans originally came from the Core, and most likely from Coruscant (or Notron, as the planet was known in ancient times). If this is the case, it is very possible that the Battalions of Zhell are the ancient progenitors of humanity. Another possibility (and one that BioWare has been directly involved in) is that humans originally came from Tatooine (sharing a common ancestor with the Sand People who still make their home there) and were taken to the Core as slaves by the Infinite Empire.
What's certain is that by the time the Infinite Empire fell in 21,547 BTC, humans had spread throughout much of the closely-packed Core on FTL sleeper ships and ancient generation ships that took centuries to travel between stars. Some have theorized that several of these far-flung colonial expeditions spent so long isolated from the rest of humanity that evolution took them along different paths, giving rise to the various near-human races such as the Chiss and the Miraluka. After the defeat of the Rakata and their subsequent retreat to Lehon, the species that had been slaves to the Infinite Empire were in a prime position to take the technology that had been their masters'. Much Rakatan technology was dependent on the Force to function, so hyperspace drives were not immediately forthcoming. Developed first, Hyperspace Cannons would launch ships from one star system to another.
Travel and exploration began across the galaxy, and newly discovered worlds were colonized and settled. Humans had an advantage here in that they had already begun to spread around the Core, and hyperspace cannons easily linked the Core Worlds. This gave humans a larger base to expand from than most other species had, and within a hundred and fifty years, humans had spread throughout the Core Worlds and even into the Outer Rim.
The human diaspora only accelerated when engineers on Corellia finally discovered a way to adapt Rakatan hyperdrive technology for non-Force users. The inevitable territorial disputes that came with exploration culminated in the Unification Wars, which lead directly to the signing of the Galactic Constitution and the creation of the Galactic Republic.
The Core Founders, as the founding worlds of the Republic are called, were all Core worlds, and therefore predominantly human. Indeed, the Avenue of the Core Founders on Coruscant (directly outside the Senate building) features statues honoring the original founding fathers of the Republic, all of them human. As the Republic expanded and other civilizations joined it, the prominence of humans in the galaxy only grew. The high proportion of humans in the newly-formed Jedi Order, and the support of that Order for the Republic, reinforced this further.
Perhaps recognizing the human-centric nature of the Republic from its formation, the Core Founders included the Rights of Sentience clause in the Galactic Constitution. This clause declares that all sentient lifeforms are equal and should be treated as such, as well as outlawing slavery and outlining certain rights. Sadly, the Rights of Sentience clause has had mixed success; those who have played through Knights of the Old Republic will remember the alien ghetto on Taris.
Humans, non-humans, and near-humans are all found on both sides of the Great War, and it's certain that all will have vital roles to play in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Maybe this will help so people can get about the business of honoring a soldier who lost his life today. First and foremost; he was a human being, honor that in your ever important quest for truth. Second, two separate commuters stopped, swam to the vehicle and attempted a rescue. One was a sailor, one was a truck driver. Despite their heroic efforts and with little regard for themselves, they were unsuccessful. Lastly, a PSNS police boat responded from which an officer jumped into the water, removed the victim and began CPR on top of the submerged vehicle. He was wet, cold and exhausted when he pulled the victim to shore. All three of these brave men represented the best of humanity this morning. Sadly to no avail except in no small measure, to show courage, bravery and compassion. Please honor the fallen sailor that lost his life, tragically, by showing the same in your comments. Thank you.
If in fact your comments are true, then many reporters got the story wrong.

UPDATE 1-LDK Solar says China Dev Bank approves $71 mln loan
- Tweet
- Share this
Jan 31 (Reuters) - LDK Solar Co Ltd said China Development Bank Corp approved a loan of 440 million yuan ($71 million), adding to the billions of dollars Chinese state-run banks have already provided to support the country's solar industry.
LDK shares were up 8.4 percent at $1.67 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
The loan will be used to finance LDK's investment in hydrochlorination technology for the Mahong polysilicon plant in Jiangxi province, in which LDK has invested more than 12 billion yuan to date.
LDK said last month that it was working to address liquidity and working capital concerns and entered into discussions with certain creditors to obtain additional flexibility.
The company plans to draw down on the loan as market conditions improve and the necessary equipment is ready for its use, it said on Thursday.
The government of Xinyu city in Jiangxi province said in July it would repay some loans of the company, which is based in the city.
The company early last week said it would sell a 12 percent stake to Fulai Investments Ltd (FIL) for $31.1 million.
FIL, whose sole director and shareholder is Hong Kong-based Cheng Kin Ming, is primarily in the investment business.
As per the deal, FIL can designate two non-executive directors to the LDK board upon closing, which is expected before Feb. 28.
LDK sold a 19.9 stake to state-backed Heng Rui Xin Energy in October.

Would you please stop making me want to cry! (That means it was well written, btw.)
LOL, sorry about that Cynthia! In a few stories time I might think about adding a bit of humour! I have just the character in line… This stream of misery needs a bit of happy magic thrown into the mix!

I hadn't realized that she and Alexand had something like this in common, being blamed for a death of someone that they cared about. In both cases they were only children and it was accidental, but they were held responsible for it nonetheless. You can see why there would be an immediate connection between them, a bond that they wouldn't necessarily have with anyone else. lovely story!
I'm glad you like it, Chantal as Alexand and Katherine are both really close to my own heart, very essential to the core of a lot of what I write about. You can see underneath to the essential parts of these characters. *Happy dancing*
This is the first piece of yours I've read, and it's WONDERFUL! (Yes, an awful story, with so many lives damaged by accident and by indifference – but you tell it so very very well.) Okay, on to your next story!

Are Americans better off than before Barack Obama was elected president?
That's a question being debated today by the presidential campaigns.
Vice President Joe Biden says the answer is yes. At a Labor Day rally in Detroit, he led the chant: "Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive."
Obama's supporters are insisting Americans are better off a day after Maryland's Democratic governor said the answer was "no." Martin O'Malley revised his remarks today, telling CNN "we are clearly better off," though "we have not recovered all that we lost."
Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus says today's happier talk from Democrats must mean that in one day, "23 million Americans have found jobs, incomes have gone up, gas prices are going down, poverty is in decline and the deficit has been cut."
As for regular Americans, 28% of those questioned in a recent Associated Press-GfK poll said they were better off than four years ago, while 36% said they were worse off. Another 36% said they were about the same. (AP)

We rented for a short girls weekend in September. We absolutely loved this place it was so clean and modern. The owner was great to work with responded quick to all questions and emails. From the pictures I thought it was the entire house but its only the first floor, not a problem it fit 8 girls just fine. I was blown away by how adorable this place was. Would defiantly rent again and again can't wait till next summer!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We arrived to this house and found that it is exactly as shown in the pictures. Everything is clean and new as far as furniture and decor of the house is concerned. I was expecting to use both floors of the house since thats what the photo shows, but we were just on the first floor. It is a very close walk to the beach, which is amazing by the way. The house has beach chairs, and towels and all your beach necessities. On the second night of our stay, there was severe thunder storms and lighting. Due to this weather, the lights all went out for 7 hours throughtout the whole neighborhood, and this was the night we were celebrating my husbands birthday. Not being able to really do anything without electricity, I asked the owner if we can stay longer the following day even though the check out was 10:30 am and the owner was very flexible with us and let us stay until 4:30 pm which was so considerate and nice of them. I would reccomend this place to others. Nice, quiet place to stay.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+.

This house was perfect and way better than we expected. Location is great. House is super clean, fresh and tidy. Owners were very nice to work with and responsive to any questions we had prior to arrival. Having the linens and towels provided was a huge bonus and eased our packing. We will rent this house again and again. Already looking to book again this summer if we can find a free weekend.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

British racer Oliver Webb has revealed he was close to signing for another season of racing in America before making a last-minute decision to return to Formula Renault 3.5.
Webb finished seventh in Indy Lights with Sam Schmidt Motorsports in 2012, having raced in FR3.5 for Pons the year before. He had planned to stay in the U.S. to work toward a career in IndyCar, but decided to come back to Europe as a result of a new sponsor coming on board.
Speaking at the AUTOSPORT International motorsports show in England, Webb said: "It really only came to light a few days before I signed that there was a chance with Fortec. I was very very close to re-signing in the States. Then we found a sponsor that was keen to do World Series.
"With age being quite crucial in Europe, we made the decision to come back and give it another try. The new 3.5 car is so quick and so close to Formula 1 that it's worth another shot."
Webb has not driven the new-for-2012 spec Renault car, but he does not see that preventing him from fighting to succeed outgoing Fortec driver Robin Frijns as champion.
"I don't have any reason not to be fighting for the championship with Fortec," he said. "It's a great family team I have worked well with in the past, and they proved themselves last year with Frijns. I'll get my first chance in the new car in February and we'll see how it goes."
Webb will partner reigning Formula Renault Eurocup champion Stoffel Vandoorne this year.
