Region's bikers to rally for burn camp
Published 9:49pm Monday, July 2, 2012After 11 years, Niles Township fire lieutenant Doug Myers will be stepping down as president of Niles Burn Run Inc.
He is leaving just as the event may bring in the most riders in its history.
More turnout could result from repeal of Michigan's helmet law, which kept Indiana participants away, according to Myers.
Other rides, such as one in Muskegon which attracts thousands of riders and another in Indiana, have been moved to different weekends and won't be competing with the Niles event.
In addition, St. Joseph's defunct Venetian Festival will not longer be competing for attention.
"This is the first year we've got a big-name entertainer coming in Saturday night," Myers said of Duke Tumatoe. "With all that, it could be a record-breaking year."
The event garnered $15,000 last summer, $12,000 in 2010 and $10,000 in 2009.
The 50-mile motorcycle ride through Berrien and Cass counties takes place at noon July 15, after a day of music and events in downtown Niles on July 14.
The procession leaves Niles by Main Street to M-60, Barron Lake to Pokagon.
From Cass County, bikes continue without stopping to Berrien Springs.
"It's hot in July, and people don't want to stop and go," said Myers, explaining he is stepping down as president so he can spend more time with his 12-year-old son — time that has been spent, in the past, organizing the event. "When we get back, there's free food for riders and a live band, like a condensed version of Saturday, when we have games, like the team fire truck pull.
"We're up to 40 vendors, and they're still coming in. Last year, we had 500 bikes and 3,000 people in town over the weekend."
The Burn Run benefits Great Lakes Burn Camp in Portage, established in 1995 for kids ages 6 to 17.
Earlier this year, the Burn Run found itself on the receiving end of a $109,000 property donated by Marc Lancaster, whose Sauk Trail Bar and Grille in Union was damaged in a 2010 fire.
"We're working with Porter Township to get the insurance money back to be able to bring it back up to code so we can sell it," Myers said.
"People love it when streets close down so bikes can park. We use Riverfront Park on Sunday, when we come back. On Saturday, Main Street will be closed on the hill from Front up to Fifth Street. The Secretary of State lot will be taken up with vendors and games.
"Everybody likes going over the bypass because you can look down on M-60 and see the bikes …. The year we went on a different route, we were in Buchanan before the last bike left downtown."

I read recently a comment from someone who feels that CI blogs put out by parents don't come across as believable because we tend to only post the positive aspects of what we are experiencing.
This is largely true.
I have chosen not to post about the times I worry we aren't doing enough. The times I feel inadequate because we are not fully immersed in AVT, as many families are.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I also feel inadequate because we have opted to hold off on ASL for now to focus on oral language.
I still get bogged down worrying about the "what is to come" in this journey.
I still question every decision at times.
I feel isolated every time a friend with a child of similar age talks about a communication milestone, or even something as simple as the ability to use Time Outs. Because Toes doesn't have enough receptive language to begin to understand the concept of Time Outs.
I don't share when I feel the frustration of trying to explain to people that, while this CI is a miracle and a blessing, it did not "cure" her any more than a prosthetic leg "cures" an amputee.
It has made her life immeasurably better and opened doors that would have been difficult to open at best – and impossible to open at worst. But there will always be a level of impairment. It is so maddening trying to get that point across to someone without sounding like I am whining. Or looking for attention.
Why have I chosen not to post these things before? Because they are not significant to her story. These are my stories, not Erin's. My "bad days" right now are mine. Down the road I am sure there will be bad days in Erin's life and I will share what seems pertinent to this journey she is on.
But right now, from what limited perspective I have of her point of view, it seems to be all good.
So, I'm sticking with it.

Very sad. This coupled with the fact that she was trying to adopt a child makes me think she was trying to turn her life around for the better. It's a shame she never got the chance.
It was sad to see the shape she had gotten into when she did let drugs get the best of her, and she had lost so much weight. She had been all dolled up in so many of her pics, and that voice was so beautiful. It is a shame she couldn't have gotten the help she needed to have saved her from such a young death. She should have had a long beautiful life to write and sing her music!!!
All and All still what a tragic loss....I am happy that the parents now know the truth about their daughter that she did not die of a drug overdose...still I believe in my heart that the years and years of previous drug and alcohol abuse finally took its toll on her body.Never the less....it is still very very sad.

Instagram surges past Twitter in mobile user race
Facebook's photo sharing service grows 8.5-fold over last six months, eclipsing Twitter's 24% growth
Computerworld - Instagram has seen a huge spike in popularity among mobile device users over the past six months, pushing it past Twitter for the first time.
Instagram, which is just two years old, went from 886,000 daily mobile users in March to 4,589,000 in June and 7,302,000 in August, a nearly 8.5-fold increase, according to comScore, an online tracking and analytics firm.
Twitter had 6,868,000 daily active mobile users in August, up 24% over the same six month period. comScore said.
While comScore didn't include the number of daily mobile Facebook users, a spokesman said the social network has far more mobile users than Instagram and Twitter.
"I'd say Instagram has really benefitted by being bought by Facebook," said Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with ZK Research.
"People love to share photos but Facebook raised Instagram's profile. Social media junkies might have known about them but the general public's awareness of Instagram was low pre-Facebook," he added.
Facebook agreed to buy Instagram in April and the deal closed early last month, shortly after gaining U.S. Federal Trade Commission approval.
Instagram's surge in mobile growth over the past six months doesn't mean that Twitter is struggling, Kerravala said. It means simply that right now, users are more interested in photos than text.
"Well, they're focused on photos and the visual element, which is very popular these days," he added. "I think Instagram is easier to use for most people. It's visually centric."

Our accomodations were impeccable! Everything from the location down to the finishing and furnishings made us feel at home. It was clean, new, and we loved the roominess. Four bathrooms and three with full baths was a bonus with 3 couples and the high beds were heaven to sleep in. There would have comfortably been room for more with the pull outs. Bonuses included the gas fireplace, deck looking out on to the golf course where deer were grazing, ipod docking station, tassimo coffee maker, and a basement book case loaded with games, movies, and books. One of the games we found was a hoot to play! We had an amazing weekend exploring the beautiful Radium area including a sun filled blue sky day at Panarama. We can hardly wait to come back to enjoy all that summer has to offer at this well-priced and ideally situated condo! Thanks Mark and Shelley!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Peking University, Beijing, Sept. 24th: The teleplay 'Chinese Overseas Students' presented the first public performance in the PKU Hall of our Peking University at seven o'clock on Sep. 23rd 2005. At the same time, the 'Forum of Study abroad' came into the university for the first time, into our Peking University.
Zhang Jiaoyi from Peking University and Kong Jie from BTV hosted that night. The subeditor of BTV, Liu Xiao, and the undersecretary of the Department of Publicity of Peking University, Sun Zhanlan, each made their congratulating speech.
This activity has two main points: One is to present and recommend the new teleplay and the other is to discuss with PKU students the overseas life of Chinese students.
Communicate with the Production Manager, Directors and the Musician
As to recommend the teleplay the production manager of this teleplay Sun Xu came to the audiences first, followed by the directors and the musician.
The production manager told the audiences a lot about the teleplay such as why he would like to choose such a topic in his teleplay. As he said, he once had a dream of studying in one of the best universities in China such as Peking University, but it fell through. And then he would like to have an overseas studying life, but it fell through too. So he wanted to make a teleplay about the overseas students just as a way to make his dream come true. And he also had an ambitious plan of his teleplay. He would like to make one teleplay about the Chinese overseas students every 5 years. And after about 20 years his teleplay will be about 125 episodes long all together.
After the talk of the production manager, two of the directors came to meet the audiences. The activity turned into a Question and Answer Part. The ebullient audiences asked the directors and the production manager questions about the teleplay and about the overseas life and so on. The atmosphere was rather exiting.
Then there came the famous musician Su Yue. He wrote songs in this teleplay. He said with a humor: 'I'm very glad to hear that you like the songs in this teleplay. What I'd like to say is that if you had watched this teleplay you'll like them much more.' Then he sang one song in this teleplay with four students of Peking University for all the audiences.
Communicate with the Actors
Students of our Peking University played an opusculum to welcome the 'Forum of Study abroad' coming into our campus. Then some of the leading actors in the teleplay came to have a discussion of the overseas life with all the audiences.
The leading actress was the beautiful young lady Chen Shuang, who was the champion of the 'University World Miss Contest'. She talked about her overseas life and her future plan. She showed the students how an overseas dream could come true.
Another leading actor was the 'Chocolate King' Yang Zhimin, who was a PhD of Biology. He had a store selling top level chocolate which was made by himself in Canada. He told the students to follow their interest so as to find their own way tosuccess.
And there also came a special guest Wang Huiyao. He had experienced a very rich and colorful job life. He was a MBA and once worked as a diplomat, as a businessman and so on. He told all the students that the key point of the overseas life is to see the world and ourselves more clearly.
At last the audiences enjoyed one episode of the new teleplay with the actors, the production manager and the directors together.
The premiere was then over in applause. And this teleplay will be show in BTV during the National Day's holiday. (Source: PKU NEWS ,By Ning Jing)

Milwaukee to Form Gay-Friendly Middle School
Reader Comments
I am thrilled the new school is opening and in 2010 (he is entering 5th grade this fall) my son will be happily putting in his application as well. He face so much bulling now for not being a "typical boy" and I know he would thrive someplace where is differences are more readily accepted.
My daughter attends Alliance High School in Milwaukee, and she is not gay. She has many friends at Alliance, both gay and straight. She came to Alliance after being bullied in middle and high school. Alliance is very small and offers a safe learning environment with lots of one on one attention. The staff deals with the drama that goes with being an adolescent and keeps the students from being cruel to each other. The majority of the students at Alliance are nice children who just want to be allowed to go to school and learn without being harassed.
I think this is an amazing oppurtunity. For kids that always got picked on because of what they belive is right for them, they are going to cherish this with their own kind.
npXAyP Goodsite
In response to "I Don't Believe Middle Schoolers Are Gay" post:
It's like saying, "I feel you're a confused heterosexual." How would you know how each and every one of these individual students feel? Do you ask them? Granted, yes, some MIGHT be confused but you are talking generally and NO ONE'S feelings can be clumped into a -general- category.
What information do you possess that these kids wouldn't feel the way they do based on different upbringing? You are ill informed, ignorant, and close-minded to make such a hasty remark.
It's fine to have your own opinion but what support do you have? And don't state it like it's a fact because you know so much about what these kids feel, how these parents are, or what it's like in any sense. You are insulting feelings, kids, parents, memories, struggles, and many other things you don't know about.
By all means gay friendly schools are necessary. I myself had experienced the horrific virbal, physical, psychological abuse as a middle school student. To this day, I cannot enter a public school building or even attend an adult education class. If I was singled out for special harassment then I should have been offered "special" treatment through the educational system. A lot of keen minds and productive lives have been lost through institutionalized homophobia.
That was the year I realized that there was a heartfelt difference in my life. While my sixth-grade friends dreamed of loving girls and talked about it, I found I had a awkward secret. I pined for the love of men.
I tried to state my longing in dressing. Unfortunately, my feminized style caught the eye of the town's moral enforcers: high school girls who shouted catcalls at me from across the street and high school boys, including a pastor's son, who fired shots at my family's house. That was before the older boys caught me where no one was watching. They reviled me with words I had never heard before as they kicked me and beat me to tears.
Faced with no way to escape the hate of that small town for the way I felt inside, I crawled into a straight closet. Once inside, I found the only source of unconditional love that wretched town offered... which was drugs. Those drugs were my steady source of loving acceptance for the next twenty years.
If my hometown had educators as Milwaukee has been blessed with today, my life would have been far richer for it. To those people: I sincerely salute you for your wisdom and courage to teach queer kids like me.
I'm sorry but I believe in middle school they are only confused.
Unfortunately most don't have a mom and dad to model stability to them.
i think this is one of the most stupid things i've heard in a long time.schools should not have anything to do with sexual preferance.the schools need to work on getting our childrens education higher.the childrens parents need to teach their children how to deal with daily problems.you cant always run away from your problems. you cant fix everyones problems.i got made fun of for having big ears .are they going to make a school for people with big ears now?
We are pursuing opening a school like NYC's Harvey Milk School in CT. As we navigate this process, we look forward to all of us working together. As an "out" principal,I know CT has come a long way regarding glbt issues. We just passed Gay Marriage, Arne Duncan is a progressive thinker on this isssue, the movie MILK is overwhelmingly received, True Colors hosts the largest conference for glbt youth in the country, and key persons in CT support this initiative.
Opponents may have issues about this school. I hear the concerns of many who feel that the bully picking on the gay youth should be punished. I believe the bully simply needs to be educated regarding glbt issues. Bullies tend to be the ones questionning their own sexual orientation and out of fear lash out. We need to support them in their fears as well.
We do not feel attending this school is a punishment; it is a choice for gay youth and their straight allies. It would NOT be beneficial to have all gay identified youth attend a seperate school; who would be left to do the educating and be the role models putting a face on being gay?
As an educator, I was strong enough, after 15 years of teaching, to come out and be a role model for gay and straight youth (and teachers). Not everyone is up for that role. Other gay teachers in our building were so uncomfortable at the thought of coming out. I have conducted workshops all over the country to assist teachers in facing their fears of "coming out" at school. Imagine how youth feel? Adults do not need parental support, youth do, and many dont have it.
Students need to feel accepted for who they are so they can focus in on what is important; learning!!!!
CT has approximately 40 GSA's (Gay-Straight Alliance) in schools. While this is extremely positive, it does not guarantee support and prevention of bullying. Some students would still need the option of a school where their safety is a priority. We can no longer ignore GLSEN's alarming statistics of glbt youth dropping out 3X more than their straight peers.
This is not about further segregation, this is about feeling safe and supported during the most challenging time of our lives....middle and high school.

The top three presidential candidates in the 2010 national elections: (from left) Manny Villar, Noynoy Aquino, and Erap Estrada. Noynoy won the race.
According to the PCIJ, Aquino had 96 donors with a total of P440.05 million donations; Erap had 24 donors with a total of P227.5 million donations, while Villar spent his own money amounting to P431.56 million during the campaign.
Photo: Noel OrsalAs a veteran fund-raiser for presidential candidates tells it, there are fewer awkward moments in the campaign than a meeting between the candidate and a potential donor, especially if they are seeing each other for the first time.
Recalling one such meeting ahead of the recent May 10 polls, the fund-raiser says that what actually lasted a fleeting 15 minutes seemed to take forever. "They talked about everything else except the money," the moneyman tells the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) on condition of anonymity. "At the end, when there was nothing else to talk about, the donor just said 'By the way, here's something for the campaign.'"
Aiming for the presidency costs a lot, so it is rather odd for candidates and their donors to avoid talking more frankly about funding, and whether it is ever enough for the endless needs of a nationwide campaign.
Any open discussion on money, however, seems to be taboo in Philippine political culture. Former banker Antonio Gatmaitan, recalling an episode from the 1960s, says he witnessed a meeting where the donor did not mention or refer to the money at all. After engaging in casual talk with the candidate, he recounts, the donor stood up and headed for the door, leaving behind an attaché case full of cash.
If large donors are shy talking about money with candidates, many if not most are even more hesitant to publicly acknowledge their donations to candidates' election campaigns. Not surprisingly, business leaders find the official list of campaign donors submitted by the presidential candidates and political parties to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to be "incomplete."
Based on what they have seen, they say the records do not include the names of fellow businessmen known to be big sources of campaign donations. They also suspect that some of the donors listed were just "fronts" for other, wealthier people who did not want their names in the list.
A scrutiny of the financial reports filed by the presidential candidates and political parties alone yields many reasons for skepticism that these present a full picture of how the May 10 presidential campaigns were funded.
CIRCLE OF 308. If the candidates and parties' submissions are to be believed, just 308 people out of a total 50.7 million registered voters funded what is considered as the country's costliest presidential campaign yet. The number is smaller still—48—if only the donors who gave P10 million and above are counted.
Yet, these four dozen donors account for almost 80 percent of total funds of P1.58 billion raised for the campaign, including the candidates' own money. (In contrast, US president Barack Obama had 690,199 individual donors in 2008, according to the US Federal Election Commission)
The figures were added up from reports submitted by seven presidential candidates—then Senator Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III, former President Joseph Estrada, Senator Manuel B. Villar Jr., former defense secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., environmentalist Nicanor Perlas, former Senator Richard Gordon, and former Senator Maria Ana Consuelo 'Jamby' Madrigal— and the three major political parties—Liberal Party, Nacionalista Party, and Lakas-CMD/Kampi Party.
Villar and Madrigal claimed they had no donors, and used only personal funds for their campaigns.
The other candidates and parties did not submit their reports even after Comelec had extended the deadline to last June 25. As of this writing, the Comelec had issued notices to Bangon Pilipinas Movement standard bearer Brother Eddie Villanueva and Ang Kapatiran Party's John Carlos de los Reyes, asking them to explain their failure to submit their election expenses reports.
GROSSLY UNDERSTATED. While it is generally presumed that big-time political donations are mainly the realm of wealthy people, the extremely low number of campaign donors suggests that the record of donations submitted to the Comelec may be grossly understated.
"We easily get more than 300 donors for our fund-raisings for books and computer donations to public schools," says Ayala Foundation executive vice president and National Movement for Free Elections (Namfrel) stalwart Bill Luz, who like many in the business community harbors doubts that candidates and political parties submitted complete donors' lists to the Comelec. "In the case of Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng and other calamities, we (had) thousands of donors."
Wealthy Filipinos certainly outnumber the pithy list of the 308 combined campaign donors of the seven presidential candidates and three political parties.

City leaders vision for Division Street downtown includes new sidewalks and a whole lot fewer utility poles.
If approved by Arlington City Council, the city will spend $650,000 from an economic development fund to reduce and relocate the excessive number of utility poles along Division Street between East and West streets over a two-year period.Reducing unsightly utility poles was among suggestions consultants gave the city last year to beautify the aging Division Street - a heavily traveled corridor linking downtown and the entertainment district - and make it more attractive to investors.If it is an area that has been shown attention and the city is making an effort to clean it up, they will be more willing to take a chance to invest in the area, said Economic Development Manager Bruce Payne.The $650,000 for the pole relocation project would come from the downtown tax increment reinvestment zone, which collects more than $1 million a year in property taxes. The zone has about $6.5 million available for projects designed to encourage private investment downtown. The zones board of directors authorized funding last month but the project still requires council approval.I really feel strongly it will attract developers in the area and really create new energy around Division Street, said Tony Rutigliano, Downtown Arlington Management Corp. president and CEO. There are so many poles that dont even need to be up now. its just clutter.The project, being designed by Oncor, could begin as soon as this summer, Payne said. Utility companies will consolidate their poles, which will be relocated to the less-prominent Front Street just south of Division. Payne said he expects a 40 percent reduction in the number of poles, which would reduce the visual clutter.A lot of the poles that are out there are telephone service poles. I expect well find out that a lot of those poles are not being used any longer, Payne said.The city has relocated utility poles in the past, including near the Levitt Pavilion downtown and Cowboys Stadium.Not all the poles on Division would come down at once, he said. Those with street lights attached to them would stay up until the second year of the project. Thats when the city expects to use state grant money from the North Central Texas Council of Governments to install new sidewalks and new street lights, Payne said.District 5 City Councilwoman Lana Wolff, a long-time downtown revitalization advocate, said she is pleased the city is collaborating with Oncor to develop an affordable alternative to burying the utility lines, a project she said could be astronomically expensive.I believe when we can start cleaning up Division Street and relocate those unsightly utility poles, its going to show that the Division Street Corridor Strategy is not just another plan that is sitting on the shelf.Susan Schrock, 817-390-7639 Twitter: @susanschrock


text: Today's episode was such a treat for a viewer like me who has watched this show since I was a kid and watched with my mom, who referred to the show as the "Lisa story"! I understand we don't have clips from the early days, since the show was live. The reenactments were well done - it seemed like they used the actual dialogue from the early days. It was uncanny how they made Ellen Dolan look like Nancy Hughes (from some angles). Speaking of looking great, Eileen Fulton looked like Lisa at her blonde best! Truly a delight to watch - and a great nod to longtime viewers.

If they're calf, i'll have them resoled by a local guy and have some cool looking knockarounds with some character!
Yeah, I think so. The polo was offered in that era of AE, the catalog number then would have been 8284. Maybe you can get that info before they are sent.

Benjamin ABSTRACT: The resistance of an incandescent lamp filament, subject to ambient variations, is determined by sensing the current and voltage of the lamp filament. Since the resistance is a known function of the temperature of the filament, changes in the temperature of the filament are sensed to provide an output correction signal to a power supply which adjusts the input parameters of the lamp to maintain filament 328/8 temperature constant, r-1Z.1 @4 1 POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE SENSE 12.2 CURRENT SENSE 18/ I REGULATE PATENTED AUG 31911 597 65 sum 1 OF 2 [--12.1 /12 3 14 POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE SENSE 122 CURRENT SENSE 18 L REGULATE Fig. 2.

SOURCE APPARATUS F OR MAINTAINING THE TEMPERATURE AND OPERATING A CALIBRATED LAMP IN A CONSTANT RESISTANCE MODE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to regulating systems and more particularly to a system for maintaining the filament temperature ofa calibrated light source at a predetermined, constant value. When standard incandescent lamps are calibrated by the National Bureau of Standards the Bureau provides the user of the lamps with a sheet of instructions and procedures detailing the conditions under which the lamp is to be operated, and typically may include a tabulation of the calibrated light output for various filament currents. In some instances values of spectral irradiance are tabulated as a function of wavelength at a distance of 50 centimeters, as measured from the center of the lamp to the receiver for a lamp current of 8.30 amperes. The instructions cover the use of the particular filament lamp issued as standards of spectral irradiance for a particular wavelength range. The spectral irradiance from the lamp is based on the spectral radiance of blackbody as defined by Plancks equation and has been determined through comparison ofa group of similar lamps with (I) the NBS standards of spectral radiance, (2) the NBS standards ofluminous intensity, and (3) the NBS standards of total irradiance. THe instructions provided are quite explicit and require that the lamp be mounted in a specific orientation in the supplied holder which is constructed in such a manner as to reflect a negligible amount of radiated flux in the direction of the receiver or spectrometer slit. A black shield must be placed at a distance of about 4 feet to the rear of the lamp to intercept stray radiant flux along the radiometric axis and adequate shielding must be provided to intercept stray flux from other directions. These procedures are intended to improve subsequent user reproducibility of calibrated output. However, the lamp may be subject to environmental changes which influence such reproducibility. For example. variations in temperature of the atmosphere immediately surrounding the lamp envelope, or unpredictable minor movements of air will tend to produce a measurable and undesirable change in output of the lamp. It is well known that when a lamp is being operated, a condition of overall thermal equilibrium is established. Both the filament and the envelope achieve such conditions wherein power input is equal to power output and the equilibrium is manifested in stable temperatures at .any point of both elements. In the filament, the electrical power is converted to thermal power causing filament temperature to increase until output power (radiated, convected, and conducted) is equal to input power. The envelope is heated primarily through radiation from the filament. A condition of thermal equilibrium of the envelope is achieved when the power received is balanced by the power transferred to the surroundings, such condition is again manifested by stable temperatures. If now more convective power is transferred to the surroundings by the envelope (for example, by moving air or reduced ambient temperature), envelope temperature will decrease, and by the laws of radiation power transfer, more power will flow from filament to envelope. Under conditions of constant filament voltage or constant filament current, the resulting effect is reduced filament temperature. Since the optical output power is a function of the absolute temperature of the filament, any reduction in filament temperature produces a corresponding reduction of light output representing a departure from the calibrated condition. It can be proven that a blackbody operating at 3000" K. must have its temperature maintained to an accuracy of i% K. to maintain the spectral irradiance to :0.1 percent at 400 nanometers. This corresponds to about 10.01 percent of the resistance of a tungsten filament. It will therefore be obvious that to maintain a constant and repeatable light output, that I the filament temperature must be held constant. The electrical resistance of a filament is a well established function of its absolute temperature. Thus, a given filament temperature corresponds to a predictable and stable value of filament resistance. Therefore, reproducibility of light output is assured through operation at constant filament temperature which may be achieved by such electrical input adjustment as to maintain filament resistance constant. It is well known that the resistance of a device is described by Ohms law, namely: R=E/I and that the resistance R is equal to the ratio of voltage-to-current used by the device. Therefore, one may determine filament resistance (R) through sensing filament voltage (E) and current (I). It is, therefore, one object of the present invention to provide means for controlling the power emitted from a resistive impedance element by utilizing the relationship between the resistance of the element and the total emissive power therefrom. Another object of the present invention is to provide a control circuit for controlling a standard, calibrated lamp utilizing the relationship between the total emissive power or lamp brightness and the lamp filament resistance. Still another objectof the present invention is to provide a control system for detecting subtle changes in resistive impedance of a calibrated lamp due to changes in surrounding conditions. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a control system for a standard calibrated lamp capable of detecting changes in ambient conditions in the vicinity of the lamp by detecting changes in the ratio of voltage-to-current (EU) or resistance of the filament. The features of my invention which I believe to be novel are set forthwith particularlity in the appended claims. My invention itself, however, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. Us a plot of current and voltage across the terminals ofan incandescent, light standard; FIG. 2 is a block diagram incorporating the features of my invention wherein a constant ratio of voltage to current is maintained in a calibrated lamp system; FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of one embodiment of a system incorporating the features of the invention for controlling the light from a calibrated light source by maintaining a constant ratio of voltage to current; and FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of another embodiment of a system incorporating the features of the invention for controlling the light from a calibrated light source by maintaining a constant ratio of voltage to current. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As will be hereinafter shown, my device senses the voltage applied to and the current passing through a high temperature resistive impedance, such as calibrated lamp, and treats the ratio of voltage to current sensed (EU) as the parameter most indicative of the element temperature. This parameter, in the case ofa lamp filament, represents a measure of the brightness of the lamp. By maintaining this ratio of El] constant, in spite of variations in the-lamp environment, I am able to achieve a constancy oflight output far exceeding that resulting from the recommended method involving constant filament current. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now. to FIG. 1, there is shown a plot of current versus voltage wherein curve A may represent the current throughthe filamentover a range of values of filament voltage under a set of constant lamp environmental conditions. It may be noted that as current (or voltage) is increased, filament resistance is increased as is evidenced by the curvature of the characteristic curve. At an opening point x, the filament is operating at a unique value of resistance as shown by dashed line R. This resistance in turn corresponds to a unique and particular filament temperature. The present invention provides circuitry for operating a lamp filament at the intersection of its characteristic 5-! curve and line R of constant resistance. Referring now to H6. 2, there is shown, in block diagram form, power source 12.1 having leads 12.3 and 12.4 for supplying power to series connected lamp 14. Voltage sensing means 16, connected in parallel with lamp 14, and current sensing means 18, connected in series with lamp 14, each is provided with an output which is applied as an input to regulator 20.1. Regulator 20.1 produces a signal voltage at output lead 20.2 which is representative of the ratio of the voltage to the current (E/I) being used by lamp 14. This correction or error signal voltage is fed to power source 12.1 as a means for varying a parameter of lamp 14. A manual adjustment means 12.2 is provided in power source 12.1 to initially set the operating conditions of the power source while the error signal, appearing on lead 20.2 is the means for making a fine adjustment to maintain the El! ratio or resistance of lamp l4 constant. Referring now to FIG. 3 there is shown another embodiment employing the principles of my invention which utilizes direct current (DC) means for controlling the parameters of lamp 14 so that it will maintain its proper operating conditions. The components enclosed within dotted line 40 represent a magnetic amplifier wherein first control winding 18, connected in series with lamp 14, represents the current sensing means and second control winding 16.1, together with variable resistor 16.2 is connected in parallel with lamp 14 and represents the voltage sensing means. As is well known in the art, magnetic amplifier 40 is provided with an excitation means 20.5 having a primary winding connected to terminals 20.6 and 20.7 to which is connected a suitable source of excitation (not shown). Center-tapped secondary 20.8 has one end thereof connected to the series connected load windings 20.2 and 20.3 and has its other end connected to the series load windings 20.1 and 20.4. Each of the load windings 20.1, 20.2, 20.3 and 20.4 is connected to one end of respective diodes 22.1, 22.2, 22.3 and 22.4. The other ends of diodes 22.1 and 22.2 are connected to one end of load resistor 24.1 and the common junction of the diodes and resistor is connected to output terminal 26.1. Similarly, the other ends of diodes 22.3 and 22.4 are connected to one end ofload resistor 24.2 with the junction common to these latter elements connected to output terminal 26.2. To complete the circuit, the other ends of resistors 24.1 and 24.2 are connected together and to the center tap of excitation winding 20.8. In the operation of my device in this mode it will be seen that lamp 14 is provided with the appropriate value ofcurrent and voltage, from source 12.1. Variable resistor 12.2 is provided in supply 12.1 for providing the initial settings ofcurrent and voltage to maintain the proper operating conditions. If, after the initial parameters are set, the ambient conditions change and the lamp is now subjected to a movement of air sufficient to reduce the temperature ofthe lamp envelope, the operating conditions will change. Assume for example, that as originally set up, the lamp is made to operate at a voltage and current that would correspond to point x of curve A (FIG 1). 1f now the ambient conditions change so that the lamp envelope temperature is lowered, the temperature of the filament would also change as the equilibria are upset. lf now source 12.1 were a constant current source, it would be obvious that for the current to be maintained constant the operating point would be shifted along line y to curve B so that operation would be at point 1 corresponding to a different filament resistance and hence filament temperature. This would substantially alter the light output of lamp 14, as there is a lower voltage appearing across the filament of the lamp and indicating a change in filament resistance. However, the turns ratio of control windings 16.1 and 18 together with resistance 16.2 were appropriately selected so that any changes in sensed voltage to current ratio were manifested by the appearance of an error signal at the output terminals 26.1 and 26.2. One may then use the error signal to maintain a constant ratio of E/! or resistance. The windings may be arranged so that if a positive going signal were to appear at terminals 26.1 with respect to 26.2 it would be indicative ofa lamp load condition which indicates that the current passing through lamp 14 is too high. A negative voltage at the terminals would indicate that the current is too low while the amplitude ofthe signal would be proportional to the error. This error signal is then applied to the base of transistor 12.3 to regulate the current and voltage appearing at the output terminals of DC source 12.1 and thereby maintained the present E/I ratio so that lamp characteristic curve B (FIG. 1) will not be operated at point w. It is known in the art that a magnetic amplifier of this type produces an output voltage proportional to the algebraic addition of the ampere-turns of the central windings. In the system configuration of FIG. 3, feedback control action tends to reduce the net ampere turns of control windings 16.1 and 18 toward zero. A null at output terminals 26.1 and 26.2 corresponds to a constant ratio of the Eto l oflamp 14. Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown another embodiment employing the principle of my invention and which operates the lamp in an alternating current (AC) mode. In this embodiment transformer 140, indicated within dotted line is provided with winding 118 which represents the current sensing means and winding 116.1 which, together with resistor 116.2, represents the voltage sensing means. Operating potential is derived from autotransformer 136 which may be of the type known commercially as a Variac. A source of AC potential (not shown) is applied to terminals 138.1 and 138.2 so that the AC potential appearing thereacross may be picked, at any suitable value, by moveable arm 134. This potential is then applied through current sensing winding 118 which is in series with lamp load 114. Transformer 140 is further provided with a center tapped sensing winding 120 for detecting changes in the sensed current and voltage used by lamp 114. When slight changes in the operating parameters occur, the change will be marked by the appearance of an AC error voltage in winding 120. The amplitude is proportional to the degree of unbalance. The voltage will be in phase or 180 out of phase with the line according to the sense of the unbalance. The resulting error signal is then applied to a phase sensitive detector 122.1, the output of which is a DC signal which may have, for example, a positive value when conditions indicate a high current through lamp 114 and the negative value for low current through lamp 114. As in the previous embodiment, the amplitude of the signal from detector 122.1 will be proportional to the error. This output error signal is then applied as an input to a drive on amplifier means 128 which, in turn, provides a signal at its output, suitable to operate servo or motor means 130. The shaft of servo means 130 is coupled to the moveable arm 134 of autotransformer 136. as indicated by dotted lines 132, so that rotation of the shaft of servo means 130 will, with the appearance ofan error signal at the output ofdetector 122.1, appropriately vary the input parameters to lamp 114 and thereby reduce the error signal to zero and hence maintain the required constant E/l ratio. While there has been described what is presently considered the preferred embodiment of my invention, it would now be obvious to all those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the inventive concept contained herein and it is, therefore, aimed to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope ofmy invention.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, Calif- Many people on the central coast have been toasting to victory of the Coastal Commissions denial to PG&E's advanced seismic testing. No one disputes this is a very complex study, even though, many groups who are opposed to it said there has got to be a better way. The problem is many people don't know what should happen next.
Wednesday, several Coastal Commission members said the proposed seismic studies won't do anything to make the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant safer and it's not the Coastal Commissions job to find a solution. Although, the people opposed to the testing like Mandy Davis with the group organized to stop PG&E said she'd like PG&E to analyze the data that's already been done. "To see what it tells them before they come to any other conclusions or put any other projects on the table," said Many Davis of C.O.A.S.T.
Morro Bay Harbor Director Eric Endersby said the 250 decibel high energy blasts PG&E would have used in the ocean was too great of a risk. "They should look at the data they do have and look at new science and different methodologies to see if they can get the same information," said Eric Endersby, Morro Bay's Harbor Director.
Commercial fisher Mark Tognazzini said he's actually participated in a study like the one PG&E proposed in the past. "I participated in a study in the mid-80's that used a single air gun, at 190 decibels at every 30 seconds, that was proven to show over 50-percent reduction in fish catch," said Mark Tognazzini, a commercial fisher.
Many people apposed to the study admit to not being an expert and not having a solution but agree the one proposed was not the right one. PG&E said it's going to focus on analyzing the data it has already completed and will continue its ongoing seismic research. "We will focus on gathering and interpreting this recently collected data as we evaluate the Commission's decision to determine how to proceed with additional seismic data collection efforts," said PG&E's Spokesperson Blair Jones.

Teacher wins $2,000 grant for innovative programming
By Matthew Stewart| (firstname.lastname@example.com)
A Heritage Middle School teacher was recently rewarded for her innovative programming with a $2,000 grant.
On Thursday, ING U.S. representatives presented technology teacher Lori Wilson with a $2,000 ING Unsung Heroes grant. The ING Unsung Heroes program strives to uplift, inspire and honor educators who are making a significant impact on their students and the educational experience in their classrooms.
Wilson was one of 100 national winners. More than 1,300 applicants competed in the 2012 ING Unsung Heroes program.
The teacher's winning project, "Learning Through Education," features a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) classroom where students can explore electricity, force and motion, space and travel and video processing. The project's goal is to allow students to apply the knowledge of their core classes in real-life scenarios.
In the space and travel center, students will conduct research on the history of space and will create an informational pamphlet on a planet of their choice. They will also build a rocket.
In the video processing center, middle-schoolers will work with digital still photography and video cameras. They will learn how to create and edit movies; download, crop and create photo albums; and design a travel brochure.
In the force and motion center, students will work with simple machines, discover the effects of force and motion and build a variety of inventions.
In the electricity center, middle-schoolers will explore different electrical circuits and schematics. They will then learn how to identify and repair broken circuits.
Students will use formulas, measurements, reading and writing while they create, invent and learn using a hands-on approach.
Wilson hopes to start using the new technology and implement programming after fall break.
"I'm very excited, because I expect the kids to become more involved," she said. "I'm a 'learn by doing' person, and many of my students are the same. I've always wanted to provide these opportunities to my students, but I wasn't able to do it with time and money constraints. Now, I can provide extra reminders and review lessons for them."
Officials pleased
School officials are pleased with Wilson's initiative.
"We're really proud of Lori," said Director of Schools Rob Britt. "She's a great representative of Blount County Schools, Heritage Middle School and our community. We take pride in her and the extra efforts that she's put into getting these resources for students."
"She really creates ownership in her program," said Principal Steve Moser. "She gets the kids excited, and it's very important for this age group. Middle school is a time of exploration, and children need opportunities to try as many things as possible to push them up the learning ladder."
Six other Heritage Middle School teachers are investigating STEM opportunities, Moser said.
