Build a 2 Meter DDRR for Mobile
By W5GVE
This is a story of an antenna and its modification over time into "better" forms. Part of the improvement was by design, and part was just plain good luck. When you are working closely with an antenna, unless you keep very detailed records, it is difficult to discern which is which after the fact.
The original objective was to build an antenna for 2 meters FM (146-148 MHz), vertically polarized, and omni-directional. The world is already full of such antennas; why something new? The truth is that I needed a short antenna that wouldn't scrape against the low-hanging trees of the desert where shade is precious, or against the 7 1/2 foot ceiling of the multi-story parking garages in the cities I occasionally visit.
Many years ago, I was intrigued by the DDRR antenna. It originally was a quarter wavelength radiator sprouting up from a ground plane, taking a sharp turn to the horizontal and coming around in a circle to almost meet itself where it sprouted. Sort of an open loop parallel to the ground with one end connected to the ground. This obviously horizontal antenna behaved in an outrageous fashionit radiated vertically! There's no free lunch however and, as originally described, it worked about half as well as a full-sized quarter wave vertical wire. But, if you could stand the tariff, it was low to the ground1/10th as tall as the vertical.
I stood it as long as I could and finally built one for the Citizen's Band (27.5 MHz). This was years ago, and as I recall, the mobile CB-DDRR was three feet in diameter, six inches tall and looked like a pair of hula hoops. It was built of 1/2" aluminum cable-TV trunk cable held together at crucial points with automotive hose clamps. And, it worked! At least until my wife saw it, and said she could not be seen dead driving around town under it! So, DDRRing went dormant for a decade.
In subsequent years, more articles appeared on the DDRR in its quarter-wave version, and later, a half-wave model. I didn't try either and pretty well believed what I was reading. As the need for the 2M low profile antenna grew, my mind turned to the 1/4 wave DDRR, throught the 1/2 wave DDRR and ended on the great idea of maybe a 3/4 wave DDRR!
A 3/4 wave edition would not be any taller than a plain vanilla (1/4 wave) DDRR, and would have much greater capture area. It seemmed like the perfect solution. If it looks weird, so what? My wife has her own car now. All systems were GO, so I began. Not having a whole lot of imagination, I began by resurrecting the concept of the CB-DDRR, 1/2" aluminum TV cable and all.
At 147 MHz, a wavelength is quite close to 80" and 3/4 wavelength is 60". The diameter of a 3/4 wavelength DDRR is 20". I arbitrarily decided that 3" in height (center to center) would probably be tall enough to help capture incoming wave fronts, and it did resemble the old CB version.
Figure 1
For testing purposes, I taped it to the roof of my little Chevrolet station wagon. Wow, did it ever work! I compared it to the 5/8 wave vertical magnetic mount whip on the other end of the station wagon roof, and the 3/4 wave DDRR equaled or exceeded the commercial whip. One little problem. It had a great gain off one section of the antenna, average elsewhere, and a tiny area of a slight null. Further tests showed it had a substantial amount of horizontally polarized radiation in addition to the desired vertical radiation. What was going on? The Mark I version has problems!
I believe the 3/4 wave DDRR showed directional characteristics because its physical structure is about 1/4 wavelength in diameter. Current on exactly opposite points of the radiator's circumference are 3/8 wave (30") out of phase, electrically, but are 1/4 wave apart (20") physically. I did not have the means to work this out theoretically, but it seems reasonable that this physical configuration would simulate radiation patterns of discrete radiators phased and separated in this manner. I decided this was the kind of a problem that could not be overcome. It could be developed if, some day, I want to build a directional vertical low-height radiator. Maybe some day.
The method of feeding the antenna was the same as I used years ago on the CB-DDRR. Since the DDRR can be looked upon as a section of parallel conductor feedline, with one side joined to a ground plane, one end is effectively shorted and presumably at a very low impedance point, and the other end is at a very high impedance, it seemed reasonable that at some point near the low end there are a pair of points at 50 ohmjust right for direct coax feed. It worked on the CB-DDRR and I figured it would work on the 2M version too.
A straight transmission line antenna, laid out horizontally, would radiate horizontally polarized energy. But when the same antenna is curled up into a loop, about 1/2 wavelength in diameter, it radiates vertically polarized energy. In order to get a good match (50 ohms, with low reflected power) I had to skew the feed points slightly. That is, the center conductor of the coax was connected to the upper line at a point NOT directly over the point where the coax braid is connected.
I believe the skewing of the feed points resulted in the mostly vertical, but partly horizontally polarized radiation. Again, this is an area for further eXperimentation, since I did not pursue it at this time. So much for the 3/4 wavelength DDRR.
Considering the phasing problem that gave me the unwanted directivity, I concluded that some of this could be expected with a 1/2 wavelength. So, I decided to do a plain old 1/4 wavelength DDRR, but by using some of the information about transmission line radiators I had picked up in the intervening years since the CB-DDRR, mainly the work of Ted Hart, W5QJR. The better the conductivity of the radiator, the better the antenna. That rules out aluminum tubing and hose clamps.
Figure 2
I decided to begin with a 1/4" diameter copper tubing, formed into two 6" diameter loops, separated 3". One loop is tack-soldered at 3" intervals to a 9" square of copper-clad fiberglass printed circuit board stock. The coax braid is soldered with no length to the circuit board. The center conductor is taken up 3" and soldered to the free loop about 2" from the shorted end. Matching is accomplished by three methods: adjustments of the tap on the free loop; trimming the free end of the loop (raising frequency of resonance); and bending the free end of the loop up or down (raising and lowering, respectively, the frequency of resonance). The results? Equal to the 5/8 mag-mounted vertical whip! The Mark II is a success. Now to improve on this!
The Mark III version was also begun on a 9" square of circuit board material. It has great surface conductivity, is stiffer than solid sheet copper, can be soldered readily, and can be attached to a magnet for car-roof mounting. Instead of a double loop of 1/4" copper tubing, the Mark III uses a single 20" long loop of 5/8" copper tubing, a 5/8" copper "L", and a 2" piece of 5/8" tubing to space the loop over the ground plane. Matching is the same as the Mark II's, with the exception of soldering to the loop. I had to use a fancy homemade copper clamp-low resistance, moveable, and IT CAB be soldered!
Once the best tap point has been determined, drill a small hole at the point. Use a sheet metal screw and a copper tab to solder on the coax center connector. The adjustments for best match are limited to two: trimming the end of the loop with a tubing cutter and moving the feed tap. This is a high-Q device, and moving the feed tap has a very large influence on the resonant frequency, as well as feed point impedance. Performance? Equals or exceeds the 5/8 wave vertical whip in all respects. Being fairly high Q, it has a useful bandwidth, a little narrower than the whipabout 2 1/2 MHz.
Figure 3
Figure 4
Fixing the butt of the free loop of the Mark III to the ground plane took some real effort. I finally solved the physical problems by clamping a bolt inside the 2" vertical piece of 5/8" tubing in the jaws of a vise and clamping the tubing again below the bolt head to form a shoulder against which the bolt can be pulled tightly, securing the loop to the ground plane. Gently solder the butt to the circuit board, flaming the tubing and not the PC board. -30-

I've been doing laser hair removal for over a year on my brazillian area and underarms. I'm am very tolerant and any redness from treatments fade in less than an hour at a very high setting. I recently found out about a "low dose" accutane regime. All my life I've been fighting acne and oily oily oily, but I've avoided accutane because of the side effects but I've heard that low doses don't have as many. Would it be safe to do both at the same time?
Is It Safe to Have Laser Hair Removal While on Accutane?
Doctor Answers 3
Laser Hair Removal while on Accutane
We have historically said that you shouldn't do any lasers while on accutane, but there are many types of lasers treating different things. Generally speaking, for laser hair removal, to be safe, I would wait a minimum of 1 month after Accutane for laser hair removal, but to be even safer, I would prefer waiting 3-6months. In the past we said to wait 1 year before any laser, but that is overkill.
Is It Safe to Have Laser Hair Removal While on Accutane?
Thank you for your question. It is not advisable to do laser hair removal while on Accutane as this could increase chances of scarring from these procedures. You should actually wait for at least 6 months after you complete Accutane to resume laser hair removal treatments. I hope this helps.
Laser Hair Removal and Accutane
It is not advisable to do lasers and Accutane at the same time, as Accutane makes you hyper photosensitive and more likely to burn from the lasers. I allow my patients to do laser treatments if they are off Accutane for a minimum of 48 hours before a laser treatment, then go on the medication again after the treatment, and so on. (Accutane has a half life of 24 hours, meaning the majority of the medication is out of your system in this time.) Some physicians will allow this, others won't. So you'll need to follow up with your physician to determine what they will and won't allow.

As I've written several times, I'm not the greatest cook. It's not that I don't like cooking, it's just that I don't have a lot of free time. As well, I'm often only preparing meals for my daughters and myself, as my husband works late and travels frequently. This means as a family we eat a lot of sandwiches and salads. This is why my favourite recipe to prepare is Greek Quinoa Salad - it's easy, it's fast, it tastes great and keeps well for at least a week. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:14] ENJOY!

what difference with the properties, which attached to component instance and component definition? The property of component instance is general property, which can edit by "poterty edit", like as "Fixed". But the property of component definition is read only, like as "part_number", "alt_symbols". For these properties, how about the command "axlSelectByProperty" and "axlSelectByProperty" work?
Component definition properties are defined in the components device file and passed to the board through a netlist import. Each instance of any particular component/device has all of the common component definition properties of that particular component/device. Component definition properties cannot be modifieed through the Allegro property edit command. Component instance properties may also be passed forward from the netlist and may be defined in Allegro using property edit. The Skill function axlSelectByProperty can be used to select either component definition or component instance properties. For example I have a very simple database with exactly two unique component definitions. Each of these definitions has PART_NUMBER property. I have defined a property "SPECIAL" on one of the schematic instances and packaged this "SPECIAL" property forward to Allegro. I have defined a property "COMMENT" on one of the placed component instances in Allegro. axlSelectByProperty("compdef" "PART_NUMBER") returns the two compdef dbids. axlSelectByProperty("component" "SPECIAL") returns the one component dbid. axlSelectByProperty("component" "COMMENT") returns the other component dbid.
Ok, it's clear for the two kinds properties. In my last post, there is a little mistake. my means another property command is "axlDBGetProperties". I can get the compdef or compent by both two kinds proterty("axlSelectByProperty"). But I can't get the component definition proterty by "axlDBGetProperties". Do you have this issue?
axlDBGetProperties(sym ->component ->compdef)
haha, I have tried to get prpoerty for Symbol and Component by axlDBGetProperties, but ignored compdef. Ok, thank AshCan and Dave.
This is exactly what you should expect. axlDBGetProperties has the limitations you observe. See the HTML at $CDSROOT\doc\algroskill for the whole story.

Mark Sanchez Named Starter, My Thoughts
Posted by Erik Manassy on Dec 5, 2012 in Main | 0 comments
Mark Sanchez is the guy…. at least for one more game. Did you really honestly think that Rex Ryan was going to start anyone other than the man he drafted and put all his eggs in his basket? I had written a post of what I would like to have seen vs. what I think what Rex was going to pull. Boy I hate being right. I nailed it.
Here is what I said:
- Rex won't name a starter until Wednesday. He'll say he's pondering it over and will see how "practice" will go on Tuesday and Wednesday (even though I think his mind has been made up last night). NAILED IT
- He'll finally name Mark Sanchez the starter staying that he gives the Jets the best chance to win against the Jaguars (even thought they only have two wins). NAILED IT
- He'll keep Tim Tebow inactive saying that he things he still needs a week to heal, even though we know Tim could probably suit up. I still believe Rex will die first before he puts Tim in as the starter. We will NEVER see it Jets fans. TO BE DETERMINED
- Greg McElroy will be the #2 again and I believe the same "short leash" will be on Mark, or even shorter. First signs of a struggling Sanchez, and Greg will be inserted again. TO BE DETERMINED
- I believe Rex will go with this strategy because the Jets are away and won't have to deal with the craziness of the Jets reaction when Mark is introduced in the game as the starter. I'm not convinced that Rex is convinced that Mark Sanchez is done…. We are close but I think he still names him the starter.
So why are fans calling Greg McElroy the future? Succeed or fail, in the next four games, some fans have given up on Mark Sanchez.
- Greg has played a total of 24 minutes and is 5-7 for 27 yards. Why on earth would you think he is the future of this franchise. I think what people are really saying is that "the future of our franchise is anyone healthy other than Mark Sanchez, and that is Greg McElroy"
- Regardless of how Mark does personally, it will not satisfy his haters. Mark can throw for 600 yards and 8 TD Passes and people will say that he's not the future. The thing is, they are probably right. Mark has to prove that he can consistently win big and succeed and in four years he hasn't done that. Even if he ends the season dominating the last 4 games, people will say he played four soft teams.
- No matter what happens on Sunday or the rest of the season, we will have a QB Controversy going into the 2013 season. The question is, will Rex Ryan survive it?
If I'm looking past just ONE week, this was the right move, FOR NOW. By benching Sanchez, Rex is saying he has fully given up and even if he changed his mind next week to put back in Sanchez (if he benched him this week), Mark would never recover mentally. The thing is, it might be past that point NOW, but only Mark can prove me wrong.
Having a great game doesn't solve anything or calm the pissed off Jets fans, but it will be a little start to trying to crawl back up to being the Sanchize. Personally, that guy is dead and buried.

MINUSTAH Mandate
MINUSTAH was originally set up by Security Council resolution 1542 of 30 April 2004 to support the Transitional Government in ensuring a secure and stable environment; to assist in monitoring, restructuring and reforming the Haitian National Police; to help with comprehensive and sustainable Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programmes; to assist with the restoration and maintenance of the rule of law, public safety and public order in Haiti; to protect United Nations personnel, facilities, installations and equipment and to protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence; to support the constitutional and political processes; to assist in organizing, monitoring, and carrying out free and fair municipal, parliamentary and presidential elections; to support the Transitional Government as well as Haitian human rights institutions and groups in their efforts to promote and protect human rights; and to monitor and report on the human rights situation in the country.
In the following years, the mandate of MINUSTAH, its concept of operations and the authorized strength were adjusted by the Security Council on several occasions to adapt to the changing circumstances on the ground and to the evolving requirements as dictated by the political, security and socio-economic situation prevailing in the country. For details, see Security Council resolutions 1608 (2005) , 1702 (2006) , 1743 (2007) , 1780 (2007) and 1840 (2008) .
In extending the mission's mandate for another year on 13 October 2009, the Security Council, by its resolution 1892 , further tasked MINUSTAH with supporting the Haitian political process, promoting an all-inclusive political dialogue and national reconciliation, and providing logistical and security assistance for elections anticipated for 2010.
Following the devastating earthquake which hit Haiti on 12 January 2010, the Council, by its resolutions 1908 of 19 January and 1927 of 4 June, increased the overall force levels of MINUSTAH to support the immediate recovery, reconstruction and stability efforts. It requested MINUSTAH to continue, within its current mandate, its collaboration with OCHA and the United Nations Country Team in supporting the humanitarian and recovery efforts and further encouraged all actors to continue to engage in joint planning and coordination at the national and local level. The Council encouraged MINUSTAH to provide logistical support and technical expertise to assist the Government of Haiti to continue operations to build the capacity of its rule of law institutions at the national and local level, and to speed up the implementation of the government's resettlement strategy for displaced persons. It requested the Mission to continue its support to the Haitian Government and to the Provisional Electoral Council in the preparation and conduct of Haiti's elections, and to coordinate international electoral assistance to Haiti in cooperation with other international stakeholders including the OAS.
Subsequently, as the security situation in Haiti had improved, the overall force levels of MINUSTAH were reduced, including most recently by Security Council resolution 2070 of 12 October 2012.

Mixed methods research: don't – "just do it"
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to identify some of the dilemmas involved in the debate on the how, when and why of mixed methods research. Design/methodology/approach - The authors' starting point is formed by developments in the philosophy of science literature, and recent publications on mixed methods research outside of the management accounting domain. Findings - Contrary to recent claims made in the management accounting literature, the authors assert that uncovering points of disagreement between methods may be as far as researchers can go by combining them. Being reflexive can help to provide a deeper understanding of the research process and the researcher's role in this process. Research limitations/implications - The paper should extend the debate among management accounting researchers about mixed methods research. One of the lessons drawn is that researchers are actively immersed in the research process and cannot purge their own interests and views. Accepting this lesson casts doubt on what the act of research may imply and achieve. Practical implications - The paper shows that combinations of research methods should not be made based on a "whatever works" attitude, since this approach ultimately is still infused with ontological and epistemological considerations that researchers have, and should try to explicate. Originality/value - The value of this paper lies in the provision of philosophical underpinnings that have not been widely considered in the management accounting literature on mixed methods to date.

Affiliated Businesses Land in RESPA Hot Water
Read the full decision: CFPB in the matter of JRHBW Realty, Inc., d/b/a RealtySouth (RealtySouth), and TitleSouth, LLC (TitleSouth)
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") determined in a recent administrative proceeding that RealtySouth ("Broker"), a large Alabama real estate broker, failed to comply with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") through a number of referral activities, including improperly referring customers to its affiliate settlement companies ("Affiliated Companies").
Section 8(a) of RESPA prohibits giving or accepting a "fee, kickback, or thing of value" for business referrals to settlement services for federally-related mortgage loans. A "thing of value" includes "increased equity in a parent or subsidiary entity." Nonetheless, Section 8(c)(4) of RESPA provides a "safe harbor" for affiliated businesses. This safe harbor consists of a three prong test, providing that referrals to affiliated businesses are permissible if all of the following requirements are met: (1) the client is provided a written disclosure ("Required Disclosure") in a particular format, setting forth the affiliated nature of the businesses and a written estimate of the charge or charges generally made by the company to which the client is referred; (2) the client is not required to use the affiliated business; and (3) the only "thing of value" received under the arrangement are returns on ownership interest.
RESPA's implementing regulation provides precise requirements as to the form and scope of the Required Disclosure. Specifically, RESPA mandates that the Required Disclosure be set forth on a separate sheet of paper, provided to the client either at or before the time of referral, and include: (1) identification of the consumer and the entity making the referral, the property address, and the date; (2) a description of the business relationship between the referring entity and the company to which the client is being referred; (3) a signature line for the client to sign acknowledging their understanding; (4) the estimated charge or charges for the settlement service; and (5) a clear statement that the client is not required to use to affiliated company, and an explanation that the client has other choices in settlement service providers.
RESPA Appendix D to Part 1024 ("Appendix D") sets forth a model Required Disclosure that contains specific language and typography for the Required Disclosure, including the following language:
Set forth below is the estimated charge or range of charges for the settlement services listed. You are NOT required to use the listed provider(s) as a condition for [settlement of your loan on] [or] [purchase, sale, or refinance of] the subject property. THERE ARE FREQUENTLY OTHER SETTLEMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS AVAILABLE WITH SIMILAR SERVICES. YOU ARE FREE TO SHOP AROUND TO DETERMINE THAT YOU ARE RECEIVING THE BEST SERVICES AND THE BEST RATE FOR THESE SERVICES.
In administrative proceedings, the CFPB found that Broker's referral activities had violated RESPA by:
- Strongly encouraging its agents (and in some cases requiring its agents) to use Affiliated Companies;
- For a period of over a year, using a preprinted purchase contract explicitly directing title and closing services to one of Affiliated Companies;
- Later changing the language in the preprinted purchase contract regarding title and closing services, but continuing to steer clients to Affiliated Companies by requiring them to check off one of two boxes for title services, either an Affiliated Company or "Other"; and
- Providing customers with an "Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement" that did not comply with RESPA, as it did not use the format of Appendix D. Specifically, the CFPB pointed out that Broker's disclosure statement (a) did not use capital letters or other means of emphasizing to customers that they could obtain similar services from other providers, and that they were free to shop around, (b) incorporating the disclosure language into a list of descriptions of Affiliated Companies, and (c) including overt marketing language in the disclosure statement "touting the benefit and value" of Affiliated Companies.
The CFPB concluded that Broker and Affiliated Companies violated RESPA by "giving and receiving a thing of value pursuant to an agreement or understanding" that Broker refer settlement services to Affiliated Companies by "affirmatively influencing the selection" of the Affiliated Companies, and that Broker's disclosure did not satisfy RESPA's safe harbor provision for affiliated business relationships.
The CFPB ordered Broker to emphasize to its salespeople that they cannot require the use of any affiliate in real estate transactions, to provide disclosure statements in the format provided in RESPA Appendix D, to cease from making any marketing statements "or any other statement or content that materially interferes with…the required disclosures.", and ordered Broker and its Affiliated Companies to cease all violations of RESPA.
Finally, the CFPB ordered Broker and Affiliated Companies to pay a civil penalty of $500,000.
In the Matter of: JRPBW Realty, Inc., doing business as RealtySouth; TitleSouth, LLC, File No. 2014-CFPB-0005 (May 28, 2014).

Swimming is Bickel's life, coach says she could have a shot at Olympics
By Jordan J. Michael
GUILDERLAND The only thing slowing down Jenna Bickel is the resistance from the water that she swims in.
The 15-year-old Guilderland sophomore swims for the Guilderville girls' team, made up of both Guilderland and Voorheesville swimmers, and just competed in her third consecutive state meet in Rochester on Friday and Saturday.
In the week prior, Bickel took first place in both the 100-meter backstroke and 50-meter freestyle at sectionals. She posted an All-American time of 57.25 in the backstroke for a personal best.
"I wasn't even picked to win the 50-free at sectionals, but I wanted it really bad," said Bickel on Monday in the Guilderland High School library, sitting next to her coach, Breanna Autrey. Bickel finished fourth in the backstroke and 13th in the freestyle at states. "My times were a second slower before sectionals. Winning both events was a thrill."
Bickel thought that she had a real shot at winning the backstroke at states, but she's happy to have seen improvement from last year. Bickel placed 22nd in 2007 as an eighth-grader, and 12th in 2008.
"When you get to states, you realize that a handful of swimmers are just as fast as you are," Bickel said. "I'm just glad to be there."
"She posted an outrageous time at sectionals," said Autrey. "I wasn't worried at all. I knew she would win both events."
On Monday, Bickel and Autrey decided that she would "taper" for next year's state competition. Tapering is when a swimmer cuts back the amount of yards she swims in practice before a big event. It is a technique used to make the athlete swim faster.
"All the other girls at states were tapered, but I wasn't because I tapered for sectionals instead," said Bickel. "Tapering for states next year will give me a chance at bigger dreams and a better finish."
Swimming life
Bickel told The Enterprise that she started swimming when she was 9 after her mother suggested that she do so. "It wasn't a big deal at first," she said. "It was just something to do."
She eventually joined the Albany Starfish and then moved to the Albany Jewish Community Center where she practiced three times a week. Bickel earned a spot on the Guilderville team in eighth grade and joined the Delmar Dolphins shortly after.
"I didn't become competitive until I started swimming with Guilderville," said Bickel. "Then I started to fall in love with it and that's when I decided to join the Dolphins, which improved my swimming a great deal. It gave me a ton of confidence."
"Bickel swims with girls of her caliber on the Dolphins," said Autrey. "She wouldn't be where she is if she never joined that team. All those kids can hit the top times like she does."
Bickel swims two-and-a-half hours with the Dolphins every day after school and on Saturday. Sunday is her only day away from the pool. Sometimes she would go swim with the Dolphins after going through a Guilderville practice.
"I would swim on Sunday, but I guess it's good to take a day off," Bickel said. "Sunday is a weird day."
"I think some of Jenna's teammates are in awe of her performance," said Autrey. "Three of them drove out to Rochester and brought signs with them. They wanted to share the moment with her."
"Coach Autrey and my teammates have been overly supportive of me and it makes me a better athlete," said Bickel. "They're fun to be around."
Bickel is hoping to swim at a Division I college and her 91-percent average should qualify her for a scholarship in the future. "It's really important for me to keep my grades up," she said. "I can kiss my future goodbye if I don't."
"If I improve enough over the years to make a career out of swimming, then I'd be more than willing," Bickel said. "But, I can't predict anything."
"If she continues on the path that she is right now, I wouldn't be surprised if she got a shot at the Olympics," said Autrey. "She's only 15 and she's already a star!"
For now, Bickel's nerves will continue to grow before every race because she knows that everyone is watching her. Those nerves just make her a faster swimmer.

The media continues to show interest in the unconstitutional, mandatory loyalty oath that was proposed at Bergen Community College. Today, Wendy Kaminer came out with a hard-hitting piece in The Phoenix criticizing the proposal. Hopefully, continued pressure from the media will help ensure that this oath never becomes a reality.

Michigan was struggling even before the financial crisis struck. Its auto industry had foundered, leaving thousands without jobs, and the decline of mining and logging in the Upper Peninsula left the top half of the state without its longstanding economic engine.
For the most part, things haven't improved. Michigan's unemployment rate topped 11 percent in August. More than 15 percent of its population lives below the poverty line. It has the sixth-highest foreclosure rate in the country. And it's the only state in the nation to see its population decline over the past decade – Detroit lost a quarter of its population between 2000 and 2010.
Michigan needs ways to create jobs and spur economic growth. The newly formed Mobile Technology Association of Michigan (MTAM) believes it can turn the state into a magnet for wireless companies, but there's a lot of work to be done before Detroit can become the next Silicon Valley.
Wireless Week spoke with MTAM founder Linda Daichendt about the association's efforts to buoy Michigan's tech industry. Here's an edited transcript of their discussion.
Wireless Week: The Mobile Technology Association of Michigan is a relatively new organization. What was the impetus for the group?
Linda Daichendt: It actually started about a year ago in a different form. I do mobile technology consulting in my private consulting firm and I was getting very frustrated with the fact that all of the companies I was working with on behalf of my clients were outside the state of Michigan. Given what was going on with the economy, I felt it was important to use as many Michigan companies as I possibly could.
So I went searching for them and was really having a hard time finding them. I couldn't find a trade association, I couldn't find a networking group. I eventually happened upon Mobile Monday International and found they did not have a chapter here, so I got the authorization to have the rights to Michigan. I started a Mobile Monday chapter in July of last year – it actually has several branches in the state. We started our first one in Ann Arbor. It grew really fast so we started a second in Detroit, which also grew really fast, and we know have one also in Grand Rapids. We're looking at several other cities for later this year or early next year. More than 1,100 people are currently involved with our Mobile Monday chapters.
WW: So the MTAM spawned out of that?
Daichendt: It did. Once we started working with the mobile companies in Michigan we saw that there were needs that were not being met. Just like any business, just like any industry, there are things you need to provide them and give them assistance with. There was nobody at a state or local level that was doing that for them because nobody really understood the industry. They could all certainly go to CTIA or the Mobile Marketing Association and all of the national/international organizations, but that really wasn't helping them at this more local and state level.
As we looked at it more we thought it was important to start a state-wide trade association that would help to bring all the segments of Michigan's mobile industry to the table to help them gain an understanding of what each segment does, how what they do impacts other segments of the industry and how that is going to impact Michigan's businesses overall. We found that there were definitely a lot of silos, if you will, and not very many had the big picture understanding of the impact that this could have. That's one of the main things we're trying to accomplish.
WW: So silo busting is part of your mission. Could you characterize your overall mission?
Daichendt: It's jobs creation. Basically what we're trying to do is to increase demand within the state, nationally and internationally for Michigan products and services. We're very confident that if we can do that, it will in turn create a need for increased jobs and small businesses to meet that demand, which will obviously help the state's economy.
WW: How robust is Michigan's wireless industry as it stands right now?
Daichendt: It's very robust. The more we start working with it and the more we start reaching out, the more we're finding there are a lot of people in the state engaged in it in some way.
We recently worked with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation to do a state-wide study, and we found that there are actually over 47,000 people working in some aspect of the mobile technology industry. It's huge. Nobody had any idea.
We also found that for every mobile technology industry job we create in the state, we create 3.9 additional jobs outside of the industry, which is also huge. That's a job creation fact that is only surpassed in this state by the manufacturing industry. What that means is if we concentrate our efforts on building mobile technology-related jobs, we can have an impact on the state that is similar to that of the manufacturing industry.
WW: Michigan is constantly held up as an example of the country's economic woes - I know that all too well, being from the state. How can the wireless industry possibly fix that – by piggybacking on that growth?
Daichendt: I think what's going to happen - if we manage to pull all these segments together, do this the right way and pull all the people we need into this agenda – we'll increase awareness that there's a very fast-growing, good-paying industry that's rapidly growing within the state, that there is a reason to stay here, that there are very good jobs available so we won't have people leaving in droves like we've experienced in the last few years. We may even encourage some people to come back.
We'll find that there will be an awful lot of small business development, there will be an expansion of departments in enterprise-level companies where they need to bring on people to take care of mobile-related services. So there will be job creation at both the small business and enterprise level.
WW: I think to a lot of people, Michigan comes across as an unlikely pick for a tech center. Why should app developers, engineers and other experts in the mobile space take a chance on Michigan when there's so much promise in hotspots like Silicon Valley?
Daichendt: There are a couple of differences. One main difference, the way I think of it, is that Silicon Valley has an area of concentration that seems to be more focused on consumer-oriented mobile technologies, whereas here in Michigan because of our abundance of exceptional universities, large number of manufacturing-oriented engineers and developers, and the very large number of teaching and research hospitals, I think you'll see Michigan become the national leader in more business-to-business-oriented technologies like M2M and mHealth.
WW: What exactly is Michigan doing to attract the tech talent it needs to help the industry take off?
Daichendt: I can't speak for Michigan overall yet. We are in the process of beginning our work with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation to get some state-wide initiatives in place. At this point those are not yet in place so I can't speak for what the state itself is doing. I can tell you the MTAM is spearheading a number of things.
Right now we're working with a large number of interested parties on developing a mobile development education program that we would put together as a prototype to start at the high school level. We have several of our major universities as well as a lot of our major corporations and small businesses that are interested in participating in this initiative. It will include education, real-life experiences, field trips and webcasts. Then we will hopefully be able to take it out to other schools across the state so we can make mobile developers more abundant. There's a nationwide shortage of mobile developers. We want to help alleviate that by getting them educated at a younger age.
WW: I'd like to get your thoughts on what Michigan's auto industry plays in this. If companies like Ford are able to attract a tech talent, could that also serve as a magnet for the wireless industry?
Daichendt: Absolutely. Basically, Ford and General Motors are playing a very large role with Sync and OnStar. They are certainly large players in the mobile space and they're very much engaged in what we do and we will hopefully be further engaging them. We held a Mobile Monday event earlier this week, and the CIO of OnStar was our featured speaker.
They're obviously integral to the role of mobile here. Also, Compuware is headquartered here, they're very engaged in the mobile space especially with their acquisition of Gomez. We have a lot of large corporations that are helping to lead in that space, and I think that's going to help increase the awareness that there's a lot going on here in mobile.
WW: To wrap things up, what are some of the major things you see happening in the coming months? Do you have any big initiatives planned?
Daichendt: Like I said, mobile education is one – trying to get more people initiated at the developer level. We're also looking at really trying to put in place a state-wide initiative to educate businesses about how mobile technology can be applied to help increase productivity and profitability. We believe that's going to take a lot of education because we don't think businesses have a clear understanding of what mobile technology can do for them. We're looking at putting in place some programs that can give them that education because we think it will increase demand for those services.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (Dec. 2)
Speaking at a meeting here of the Fourth Committee dealing with a report of the Trusteeship Council, Aryeh Eilan, Israel delegate, suggested that Israel experience in communal ownership might have some application to Tanganyika where there already exists an ancient tradition of communal tribal ownership of land.
Mr. Eilan said that while not all aspects of Israel experience would apply to Africa, it was an axiom that wherever the soil is poor but can be redeemed, such redemption is much easier through a communal effort than by individual enterprise. He stressed this was true for Israel and might apply to African land problems.

The boards of the elementary and high school districts will meet Wednesday night for a presentation on a unification study.
The study — conducted by the Fiscal Crisis Management and Assistance Team, which works with California education agencies over fiscal problems — looks at the financial effects of a potential reorganization between the elementary and high school districts.
The Escondido Union School District, which includes 17 elementary and five middle schools, requested the study last May. The last unification study was requested and paid for by the Escondido Union High School District in 2005. That study also included the one-school San Pasqual Union district.
The new study includes several recommendations should the school boards decide to pursue unification, so that the districts could gather more financial information and consider the effect on nonfinancial areas, such as employees, students, achievement, curriculum and school-year calendars.
The report is online at www.eusd4kids.org. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the elementary district headquarters, 2310 Aldergrove Ave.

I'm so sick of, "Why are you hating? At least they're out there boarding." So what? This is snowboarding. It's a fashion shit show and constant dick sucking contest to be the coolest. That's why Rejected Edits exist. With no names, no flair and nothing to talk about these edits still get their 15 minutes. Plus, come on, this is Yobeat, it's either this or we just make fun of Shaun White all the time.
Its on tv internet episode 2.6 from Bakkå röfjälle.
Why it Sucks: GoPro's and poles, it's never going to be ok. Also, you guys slam a lot, and the lumberjack doesn't have gloves on half the time. Gloves folks, they are your friend. As far as the video, the park shots are boring and stupid. I don't care that you nailed a trick on some bullshit feature.
Why it's Rad: Sweet nicknames, obviously. The random spot shots are great. The handplant to cartwheel slam, awesome. And oh yeah, slams, we love slams.
Why it Sucks: I hate fake sponsors. I highly doubt Electric paid to have this edit made. I also hate the intro music, and well, all the music. The smoking shot around :50, come on, is there any better way to claim, "I JUST GOT MY LICENSE!" Besides that stuff, some of these shots are just total crap, but hey, at least you're out there, and I suppose that's a good thing.
Why it's Rad: Editing. Yeah sure it might be filthy, but it's rad filthy. Chop and Screw, opps and uh… I'm into all of it. Plus with a title like "KKK" I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited to see future titles.
american bad ass from chuuch be easy
Why it Sucks: Well, your music choice is for shit. Who kills the audio? The sweet sound of snow smashing should never be covered over. Also, what the fuck is with the ending? Holy shit, is this a teaser? Better not be…
Why it's Rad: Content. Jumping off chairs is always cool. Powder is always cool. Cloudy winter days are awesome.
Chemical Mess on dat Earl. from Chemical Mess .
Why it Sucks: Hippies (read: dreads), slow groove tunes and two inch stances are not going to fly around these parts. Does that make me shallow? Bet your ass it does. But watching you slip and slide around the hill making sparks with your knees pisses me off. Oh, and the weed ender, cool, you smoke weed, so does my grandma.
Why it's Rad: Well, simple really, the riding is rad. Even if it is on some bullshit park features.

The quotes might be bullshit too.

Good choices this week. And I've gotta agree with the comments on the final video. What the hell was that? It's a bummer when great riding is ruined by poor filming and editing. That could've been sick, even with the song selection. Take a tip from the folks at Neoproto/MDP: If you're gonna use a slow hippie jam in a snowboard video, you can only make it cool with great videography and artsy editing. None of that fog-on-the-camera-lens crap.
Seriously, what the hell is with that? I remember when even the crappy edits had at least a few decent artsy shots in them. I know it's not film school but come on people, at least put a little effort into your shots
the 2-screw stance is the worst thing that happend since the mini boards from rossi and hammer…
Respect the stance, even know it might be a little small!
Sheldon (trustafarian), your parents couldn't even pay me to have a stance that small.
he must be the only hippie on the planet named Sheldon…
down with the last edit. the shane guy and the dudes after him did some sick tricks, especially on that double kink. as for the end, that nug was mighty, but you still have a lot of leaf to cut off that bad boy.
Vermont ur an idiot the kid lives outta car.. and go re watch the chemical mess video and realize sheldons goofy..the whole thing is switch pretty much..bangin ass edit I thought! CM or die
hell yeah sheldon, killing it
chuuch be easy so sick
why did the 1st edit open with some dude falling? the first few seconds of the second edit were confusion so i turned it off. the third edit was rad because it had dr. dre and
reminded me off jumping off the lift at meadows. i was too bored to start the 4th edit. but his hair looks stupid.
ok… the third videos from seymour which has a sick park with the red ledge, burlington kink, and rail garden double line yet those idiots just do side hits
chemical mess edit was sick, take a lap nick lipton
I love rejected edits, because it reminds me of why myself and many people i know do not film ourselves snowboarding, because NOBODY wants to see that shit
Ok I ride a narrower stance because my right knee is bad… and honestly, having a huge stance is really bad for your knees haha trust me. all the weight from the impact of landing isn't channeled down your legs to your feet, it's all absorbed by your knees which push inward. That being said…. "sheldon" from the last edit has a RIDICULOUSLY narrow stance hahahah
and now that I watched the rest of that last edit, it was pretty sick. I see no need to hate
Wait, Mac, let me get this straight…. you ride with a skinnier stance because you have a bad knee? I hate to tell you dude but you have a thing or two to learn about anatomy. Having a wider stance allows you to bend more at the hips and knees (if your knees bend inward, well that's just retarded) and absorb the impact, while a narrower stance channels the impact down through your tendons and joints causing bone spurs and blown-out ACL's. Not to mention you look like a fairy
^hahahahaha medically and scientifically sounding like a complete dumbass
jimbo, you really just don't know what you're talking about haha
uhhhhhuhhuhuhuhuh sick bud bro. Nobody fucking cares that you smoke weed. Shitty time-lapse too. Good choice on rejected edits overall though.
Ha. Well my wilderness EMT certification says otherwise, but it's cool. I'm sure the Geocities site that you get your medical facts from is way more qualified than the Red Cross
rejected edits seem to get more views and comments then normal videos, we're all retards
Oh big shot with the Wilderness EMT Cert! Can I schedule an appointment with you to
it's common sense that your body is built to have your feet be comfortable at shoulder width appart. I see kids snowboarding with 24 " plus stances and it looks like they're doing the fucking splits… and your telling me it's better to take impacts with your feet spread that far apart? You're a retard if you really beleive that. I don't care if you took a fucking emt class mr. mountain man, you're still an idiot. have fun sqauting around all over the park and hitting rails like your in the middle of taking a dump
youre all a bunch of pussies
Haha, wow dude. Maybe you should apply some of that "common sense" to reading posts. I never said it was better to go full-on cowboy like some kind of retard. I'm saying it's better to have a wider stance than the skinny stances these hipster kids ride with (you know, like the one that you pointed out in your own post). THOSE are what blow out your knees… And for the record, you should be slightly outside of shoulder width. Did you guys ever take karate when you were a kid?

If I should, do I vapour barrier the top or bottom of the joists? The house is a war time house in Welland.
Hi Greg,
I'm assuming the crawl space is un-insulated. If that is the case you will definitely want to insulate the main floor and that will include vapour barrier. Vapour barrier always goes on the warm (interior) side of the insulation so in this case it will go above the joists. There are several ways of accomplishing this. If the joists are exposed on the top then a 6 or 9 mil poly will be easily stapled to the tops of the joists. Then you can screw your sub-floor down on top of that.
If your main floor is finished and you don't have access to the tops of the joists, the alternative is to use spray foam insulation (not the canned version) between the joists. Spray foam is closed cell and will provide an effective vapour barrier if applied correctly. This is probably the easiest and most effective solution. But it is expensive.
Another alternative is to cut strips of 6 or 9 mil poly and install them in each joist space, up against the sub-floor. To be 100% effective you would have to caulk each joist on both sides where it meets the sub-floor using acoustic sealant (nastly black stuff that gets everywhere). Then you would install batt insulation between the joists.

Ops Core FAST Base Jump Helmet
The OpsCore FAST Base Jump Helmet is feature-rich, low-cost alternative to their popular FAST Bump Carbon Fiber Shell. Designed to include all the revolutionary bells and whistles of the FAST series, the Base Jump does not disappoint. It is almost exactly the same as the FAST Bump, except for a couple minor details. The shell is constructed of an injection-molded polymer (35% glass-filled Nylon) for an extremely rigid structure. There is no bending or warping often found in other polymer "skater-type" helmets. The second difference is in the night vision shroud. While the FAST Bump requires an additional bolted-on shroud, the FAST Base Jump has its shroud in-molded directly in the shell. This truly innovative design feature creates an extremely rigid and stable platform for attaching night vision mounts and cuts down on the overall weight because of the lack of hardware. The OpsCore FAST Base Jump retains all the features of the FAST family of helmets.
The in-molded shroud is designed to interface with standard NVG Mount Brackets. These include the Standard-Issue USGI Rhino Mount, Norotos AKA2 and INVG, Wilcox L4 G24, L4 G01 L4 G02, L4 G21, L4G29. The molded is tight which reduces wobble. The shell's paint adds a small layer of thickness as well, which will crack off in certain contact areas. But, this extra several thousandths of material helps to stabilize the mount. The polymer is thick in this section, so there are no worries of it cracking or breaking under normal use.
Like its cousins, the FAST Bump and FAST Ballistic Shells, the Base Jump utilizes the latest generation of the OpsCore OCC-Dial suspension system. This system features an adjustable "fit-band" that tightens or loosens around the user's head, providing more support and even weight distribution around the cranium. Instead of relying solely on position-able pads, the OCC-Dial makes contact in a complete loop around the head, thus eliminating "hotspots" of contact that can be annoying/painful during prolonged missions. The latest generation system has a better-knurled rotational knob for ease of use with gloves. The forehead padding has been greatly increased in depth and area from previous generations, adding to user comfort. The fit-band allows for better integration of ear-pro and comms headsets. It can be undone from the brow, allowing the headset to slide in between the shell and the fit-band. The rest of the OCC-Dial system is made up of position-able EPP impact pads and LDV closed cell comfort foam. These, too, have been upgraded with softer padding than their predecessors. They are not affected by altitude, temperature, or moisture. The suspension system is rounded out by the ever-popular OpsCore Head-Lok chin strap system.
The sides of the helmet sport proprietary FAST-ARC 4-position Rail Connectors for securing accessories like lights. These ARC's act as the hub for an entire suite of modular accessories.
• Works in conjunction with locking and rotating adapters that utilize emergency break-away features for airborne operations.
• Upper ARC dovetail for devices like low-profile lights, video camera, visor, mandible and up-armor side covers.
• Corner ARC buckle receiver for gas and O2 mask strap kit attachments that eliminate the bulk and clutter of traditional bayonet style mounts.
• Lower ARC dovetail for devices like flip-out COM headset, battery pack, goggle strap keeper, mandible and up-armor side covers.
• Over-the-center side hook attachment for devices like illuminator, strobe light and battery pack.
The FAST Base Jump Helmet incorporates the BISS-NVD lanyard/ elastic tensioner which eliminates night vision mount rattle and vibration by keeping your devices taut against the helmet shell. When not in use, the bungie-cord lanyards hook into holes under the shroud for storage.
The OpsCore FAST Base Jump Helmet strikes the perfect balance between functionality and cost. It offers the most coveted accessories and features found in the higher-price FAST Helmets, but at a price point most individuals can afford. OpsCore suggests that this helmet is not designed to support binocular style NVG's. We would agree with this assessment, unless the user adds a counterweight to the rear of the helmet. Even so, our testing showed that heavier NVG's will cause the helmet to continually slip down over prolonged use. We believe that the OpsCore FAST Base Jump is the ultimate universal helmet for users not requiring ballistic protection. It is the most feature-rich and comfortable unit on the market. The suspension system keeps getting better with every generation and truly shines. For those users who have a hard time fitting other lightweight polymer helmets while maintaining support and stability, this helmet is your huckleberry.

These are great helmets and for the price just outstanding! The adjust ability is amazing.
I'm not intending to hate, and I'm only a civilian, so this is just an honest question...
What's the primary market/demographic of a non-ballistic budget helmet? I can see mounting flashlights, but mounting NVGs doesn't make much sense to me. Wouldn't someone willing to drop $4k on NVGs drop some extra coin on a normal (read: not budget) helmet?
I would guess there are alot of people buying NVG's that aren't on a 2 way range and don't want the weight of a ballistic helmet. As for being a budget helmet, People don't buy gen 3 NVG's cause they cost alot... They buy them cause they work well. How much should a plastic NVG helmet cost?

.mil helmets are not primarily intended to stop bullets. They are intended to eat high impact damage like when your truck gets fragged and you eat the sharp steel corner of a radio mount, or a loaded50 ammo can starts flying around inside the vehicle. Like anything with an angle, it may deflect a round if it hits a sweet spot, but its more likely to stop debris or impact.
A polymer helmet might save you from smashing your dome into the dash of your jeep or something, or keep you awake if you fall out of it. It also gives a solid mount point for NVGS/LAMs. I would much prefer one of these to a kpot, even an ACH.

A ballistic FAST helmet is light as hell. And pretty available, even free if you know the right people and want one.
That basejump an others are used in .mil jumps and all other active training such as force on force where head protection is required by protocol.

Bringing this one from the way back... Does anyone know of a cover that will fit this helmet? Been looking at the firstspear one. I really like it but want to make sure it will fit. Any ideas?
God help us all....
Yes they fit. Order a size smaller than your current helmet size.

I have one of these that sees moderate use, mostly for when I hunt off steep bluffs. I wear it to my hunting spot in case I slip and fall. Save the noggin'. I have no cell phone signal out there, so more protection the better in case I fall. Also acts as a quick pillow for a nice nap.
