'Every microamp is sacred' — David Tupman
Engineering for low power
I joined Alan Ferdman's test department at Psion in November 1995. Most of the engineers came through there, and then went on to design. In testing, you had a great chance to look at the whole design and learn how it all worked. We benchmarked ourselves against other companies — against the new Windows CE devices, to see how much power they used for the same function. Psion handhelds used about a quarter of the power of the CE machines.
A lot of this was actually due to the software. With the hardware, you do your best, and use techniques such as clock gating. With process technology improvements we'd gain too, and we looked at offloading onto special hardware. While Windows machines took all the standard parts, Psion developed its own silicon. All credit to Mark Gretton for that — he was the big instigator for getting the Series 5 silicon going. He was just a genius, really — and we all worked very closely with the software team. But software played a big part — it was about how they used the hardware.
Power draw is all about how fast your clock runs — if you can slow that down as much as possible, that gives you the lowest power draw overall. Symbian OS back in those days had come from battery powered Organisers, and the Series 3, we had a ground-up understanding of making a lower power system. The Windows world was all about performance.
Why is software so important?
Remember that software isn't doing anything 99 per cent of the time. If you're entering something into Agenda, you only need the activity when you're pressing the buttons; and you wake everything up. So it was all about that dynamic range — how low power can you go when you're not doing anything, and how fast can you go when it's active. We had a very wide dynamic range — we could get it down to nothing, but something happened, the full performance was there.
Beyond Protea
We had a saying in engineering that "every microamp was sacred". We had to account for every microamp of power — every day that would be the mantra.
After the Series 5, I moved into the design team developing silicon for the 5MX and for all the follow-ons. As with Protea, we worked very closely with Martin Riddiford's great company Therefore, to make sure everything would fit in the product — driving package side, components, to make the PCB as small and as thin as possible.
Martin always came up with these amazing mechanisms. Just look at the hinge on the Series 5 — or even the Series 3. Martin's a genius at making these crazy mechanisms work. So Martin's job was to figure out the mechanism — and our job was to figure out how to fit everything.
The Incubator
After the Symbian split, Ken McAlpine was just starting up his incubation team, his nursery team, back at Psion and a lot of ideas were coming out of that. Thinking back, I must have worked on 13 projects of which only three or four actually made it to production.
One of the problems we had was that every nine or 15 months we'd get a new general manager — there'd be a clean sweep and the old projects would get cancelled, and we'd move on to new projects. Sometimes we'd find out who the latest general manager was from the internet.
"We wanted to do SatNav."
They were all were really interesting things to work on, it's a pity they didn't make it out of Psion. But they were all really interesting and every time you work on something like that you learn alot — and that makes the product you actually ship that much better.
There was the Bluetooth Revo; there was chip called Halla we worked with Parthus and Samsung to develop, and it was the first ARM9 system chip; Samsung had never done anything like that before. That was cancelled with the smartphone, Odin.
Back then here was a lot of technology going around that Psion was keeping an eye on. We'd meet all the component manufacturers and had a lot of ideas on what we wanted to do. We wanted to be in cellphones, we wanted to do Bluetooth stuff, we wanted to do SatNav. A lot of times in the end David Potter would say no, we're not going to do that. And at the time, all the R&D money went to Symbian. We had so many great ideas, and so many of those industries have taken off: SatNav, with Mark at TomTom, and MP3 Players.
Ken and I spent a number of months just driving around the country trying to pull together a plan to make a hard disk drive MP3 player. Creative had their big CD-sized player with 2.5in drive, and there were lots of little Rio players; we thought we could make a play in that area because we had the technology. It was very much an investigation.
Unfortunately, there was no formal process for kicking projects off other than talking to David Potter.
Then the Psion and Motorola deal ended, we briefly tried to keep the phone thing going, but it really it wasn't happening. In March [2001] Psion laid off lots of hardware engineers [Psion laid off over 200 staff that day — ed].
I left shortly after that.
Our competition had gone from being the Windows CE people like Philips, to being Ericsson and Nokia, the cellphone guys.
One of my regrets is that Psion got out of the hardware business, pretty much. Actually, if you think about it though, a lot of the hardware business got killed by the cellphone. Look how much Palm suffered.
But it was an absolute blast. We shipped a million Revos, and to be part of that was great.

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
Jul 5, 2020
July 20, 2012 | By Bruce Martin
Hurley Haywood has long been known as the "Master of Daytona," as the famed sports car driver won the Rolex 24 At Daytona five times during his legendary career behind the wheel. He also drove to victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times and was twice the winner at the 12 Hours of Sebring.
Haywood's last race as a driver was in this year's Rolex 24 At Daytona, but he continues to guide the fabled Brumos Porsche GRAND-AM team at sports car races throughout the schedule.
"I retired full-time from the seat three years ago," said Haywood, 64. "We had one year in the DP (Daytona Prototype) and two years ago when GT racing. They keep bringing me back for the 24-hour race, but this last 24-hour race was my last."
And there is nothing better that Haywood would like to do than help orchestrate a victory in the inaugural Brickyard Grand Prix GRAND-AM race Friday, July 27 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Kroger Super Weekend at the Brickyard.
"The Brickyard is a unique place, as we all know," Haywood said at last month's GRAND-AM race at the Chevrolet Belle Isle Detroit Grand Prix." It's exciting for us to run there in GRAND-AM in both the DP and the GT situation. We are really excited about it. There was a lot of discussion about running a second car there for myself and another driver, but I decided that was probably not a good thing to do. We are going to have one car, focus on that and the championship, and hopefully do well."
Haywood has high hopes not only for each of his drivers that will compete in both the DP and GT classes but for GRAND-AM making a mark at the most famous race course in the world.
"Daytona is such an iconic racetrack, and I've had a lot of success there," Haywood said. "It's like going home every time I go to Daytona. I love that. To be able to race at Daytona and Indianapolis in the same year is a big deal. Everybody is excited about it, and everybody really will try to do their best there with their best equipment and best drivers, so it will be top-notch.
"GRAND-AM has a really good package in the DP and the GT. It's really close racing, and it brings a lot of manufacturers together and a lot of different drivers are racing in this series. For us to showcase that talent to an Indy crowd, to race at Indianapolis, is a big deal for GRAND-AM. It's a well-publicized, well-planned event that is good for manufacturers, drivers and the series. I'm excited we are able to run there.
"For a driver to say I won at Indy, that's a big deal because it is such a recognizable name. Everybody will try hard to win there."
Although Haywood will be in the paddock and atop the pit box during the GRAND-AM race at IMS, 32 years ago he was behind the wheel of the No. 99 Sta-On Car Glaze/KISS99/Guarantee Auto Special in the 1980 Indianapolis 500. Haywood started 25th and finished 18th after dropping out of the race when his car caught on fire after 126 laps.
Johnny Rutherford scored his third Indy 500 win that year, and Tim Richmond was the Rookie of the Year after finishing ninth. Had Haywood continued in the race, he may have been in position to challenging Richmond as top rookie at Indy in 1980.
"Lindsey Hopkins, who I drove for, called me, and he and Peter Gregg were talking and said Hurley would like to try Indy," Haywood said. "Lindsey stepped up to the plate and offered me the car. I came there in 1979 and didn't get qualified. I had some problems in qualifying, and in 1980 I qualified. For me, that was a real big thrill, but I was never comfortable with the cars. Lindsey had a good team, but it was not a front-running team, so I thought my efforts would be better to focus on the GT stuff. I had probably 15 or 20 Indy-car starts over the years, but the Indy 500 was, of course, the big one.
"I'm very glad I did it. From a driver's standpoint, to run in the Indianapolis 500 is a big thing. To be able to experience that and have the knowledge of whether it was something I wanted to do more of or if I wasn't going to be successful at it was a valuable lesson for me."
Haywood was born and raised in Chicago and intently followed the Indianapolis 500. He attended the race with his father as a spectator in the early- to mid-1970s before actually driving in the race for his one and only time in 1980.
"I liked watching Jochen Rindt and Mark Donohue, who turned out to be a really good friend of mine. His son (David) drove for our team. Mark was instrumental in helping me adapt when I went from true sports cars over to Can-Am racing. When I got to Indy, he had already passed away by that time, but I had a pretty good grasp of the things I needed to come to grips with."
Haywood is a select group of drivers that has competed in the Indy 500, won the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans – the most iconic events in all of racing.
"Each race presents its own set of problems," Haywood said. "The Indy 500 was an endurance race where you had to pace yourself and do all the things that you do in a long-distance race. A.J. Foyt has won at Daytona, Le Mans and at Indy. He is one of those iconic names that win in anything he drives. It would be great for us to be able to win at Indy because that would be a nice trophy to put on the display case."
And while Porsche was able to compete in CART and the Indianapolis 500 with Walker Racing in the 1980s, the famed auto manufacturer will return to IMS at the Brickyard Grand Prix.
"For a manufacturer to run at Indy is always great and to be successful there is a great feather in Porsche's cap," Haywood said. "I just hope we are the team that brings them that success."

Natural Traits in German Shepherd Dogs: Psychological traits in GSD - Physiologically Based
Psychological traits in GSD physiologically based
Hello friends... hope you have liked post psychological and genetic character traits in German shepherd Dogs. Check out the last post on NATURAL TRAITS IN GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG. As I said before, I intend to write about some other character traits in German Shepherd Dog breed that are psychological, but physiologically based. That means these traits are purely psychological. While identifying the character and personality traits in German Shepherd Dogs, you can clearly notice that these animals have high degree of self confidence, and shows typical behavior of aloofness at times, which will make a stranger think twice to make friends with them immediately. Alike some of the other dog breeds, the heavy-weight personality of German Shepherd Dogs blends well physique of the breed. Physiological traits in German Shepherd Dogs are the traits backed by the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions in the dog.
Here are the details of the German Shepherd Dog character traits that are psychological, but physiologically based:
The character traits of any dog breed depend on many factors. German Shepherd Dogs are sometimes quite hard by nature (both mentally and physically) and pain tolerating capacity is high, while soft at some other times. Both hardness and softness in the characters are the psychological traits in GSD that are physiologically based.
Hardness: Hardness is the trait that is both psychological and physiological. It is a mental resiliency (backed the physical and biochemical soundness) to not-so-pleasant experiences. Hardness is judged by putting the dog into situations where the pain threshold can be determined. Pain threshold is the point at which the dog starts reacting to pain. The intensity at which the stimulus (physical and mental pressure and stress) starts evoking pain the threshold stimulus. To be a bit more simple, the pain threshold is the point at which the starts not to tolerate the pain any longer. Since the threshold stimulus varies from breed to breed for a given stressful situation, the pain threshold level differs too. A well bred German Shepherd Dog has comparatively high level of pain threshold than most other dog breeds. By saying this I mean to say that the capacity of tolerating pain has been genetically engineered into the breed. Hence "hardness" is not 100% psychological and physiologically trait in GSD and other dog breeds, although, as a matter fact the level of hardness also varies form dog to dog within the breed itself. GSD has higher "Hardness" trait, means they can tolerate tremendous stress with little negative attitude. That in turn means that the GSD needs to handle strongly and requires strong corrections when they are disobedient.
Now what does it mean when I say that "Hardness" in GSD is a psychological trait, being physiologically based? From physiological view point, the hardness in GSD means that the dog is strong by nerve. It relates to the thick sheathing around the nerve fibers in the body of the dog which makes its pain threshold higher than other breeds. Sometimes the hardness is so high that corrections to disobedient behaviors sometimes become quite tough for les- experienced trainers. This is why an experienced specialized dog behaviorist/ trainer will always suggest not to hit him while training. This will make the training process harder and ineffective.
Softness: Softness in the character traits in German Shepherds is just the opposite of the hardness. Wild dogs in the nature are comparatively softer than the pets. In fact the softness is a natural trait that helps the dog to save himself from natural dangers. Softness breeds a bit of fear in them which acts as the natural measure for protection themselves form real danger – as I said in my last post. Softness in German Shepherd Dogs is another psychological trait that is associated to the fear from stressful experience. Excessive softness is a behavioral fault in the GSD breed. This is because these dogs are bred to work under a wide range of stressful situations. If a German Shepherds fail to do that, it means it doesn't satisfy the breed's actual purpose.
You will probably like to read about BREED EVOLUTION TEST IN GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (Schutzhund) that has been designed to separate German shepherds with correct physical and character traits from the ones that have undesirable traits.
Up next purely genetic traits in German Shepherds! Stay tuned...

Downspirit – Point of Origin (2010)
There are so many hot new releases in August, I fear some of the better new bands will get lost in the shuffle. One of the more interesting bands that I have heard in a while is Stuttgart, Germany's Downspirit.
Downspirit is a new band that was formed in 2009 by SYMPHORCE/Ex-FREEDOM CALL guitarist Cédric "Cede" Dupont. Dupont wanted to fulfill his dream to form a band dedicated to the combination of blues and metal music. With Point of Origin, Downspirit has somehow managed to blend 80's hard rock, modern metal and blues to create a sound that is familiar, and yet refreshingly different from so many of the bands on the scene today.
Singer Steffan Lauth's voice oscillates between a cool melodic and metal sound that helps to keep the songs interesting on this disc. I didn't really know what to expect with the opening tracks "Point of Origin Part I, and II". My first thought was, oh great, another band with down tuned guitars. Luckily, this CD gets more interesting quickly. "Love Song" opens up with some killer blues harp, and delivers a good mix of melodic rock & metal. This song gets better every time I listen to it.
"Good Times" is a kick ass stadium anthem that is going to get a ton of play by me. This is easily my favorite on Point of Origin.
After listening to "Arisen" I would guess that Cédric "Cede" Dupont is influenced by George Lynch. There are some moments that remind me of Lynch Mob in this song.
"The End" is this extremely cool deep-toned number that ought to be a hit for Downspirit. This song has a ton of radio potential.
Downspirit has turned in a surprisingly good debut. Overall, I am very pleased with Point of Origin. This is a CD that I will be playing a ton this summer. If you want to check out a new band that rocks, don't overlook Downspirit's Point of Origin. I think you will enjoy it.
The first 1000 copies will be in digipak format and contain one bonus track "Rockstar Blues"! It is available for purchase here! For more information on Downspirit, please visit the band's myspace page! You can watch the album trailer for Point of Origin below!

On a random forum, a member speculated that their cirrhosis was caused by wearing tight-fitting clothing such as a girdle or corset. This leads me to the following question:
Question: Can cirrhosis be caused by physical compression of the body?
The list of causes on Wikipedia does not include this. However, this may just be because the list is incomplete. Alternatively, it may be because physical compression is unlikely to contribute to cirrhosis.
A plausible mechanism that springs to my mind is that physical compression leads to the constriction of hepatic veins, arteries and/or their tributaries. But I suspect the rib cage would provide significant protection against this (see below).

Here's Syfy's "sizzle reel" from their upfront presentation to advertisers. It includes better looks at upcoming shows Warehouse 13, Caprica, Eureka the Tin Man-esque TV movie Alice... and best of all, more Stargate Universe goodness.
I know we've been showing a lot of darker Stargate Universe trailers, but these brief moments give me hope that it will still be Stargate, and have witty banter. I especially like David Blue glaring down Shooter's daughter at the dinner table. Here are a few stills we grabbed just so you can get an even closer look at what's to come.
Caprica, meanwhile, looks like more of the same. But note the gorgeous detail shot of the city, which looks a bit CG-heavy but I'll take it, if skimping on the FX budget brought us Stoltz. Everything is looking pretty rosy for Syfy, who must be nervous as hell with the departure of BSG. I'm still not 100% sold that Caprica can fill that hole in my heart, but you never know.

After totally blowing the launch of the trailer for "X-Men: First Class," and enraging dozens (hundreds?) of fans who had been checking in on Facebook throughout, Fox finally got down to the business of giving folks a taste.
Judging from the most recent comments on the "X-Men: First Class" Facebook page, the people are happy with what they see. But we were a bit underwhelmed. We loved the tone, the music and the Cuban Missile Crisis backdrop, but the trailer lacked a certain "wow" factor.
Having watched it four or five times now, it seems as though they were trying to so hard to give us a taste of as many of the heroes and villains as possible, that they failed to build any sort of tension or momentum.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The trailer also highlighted what for us has been a concern since casting was locked in: James McAvoy as a young Charles Xavier just doesn't seem like a leader of men. More troubling still, watching him opposite Michale Fassbender as Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), it's hard not to root for the bad guy.


text: National MS Society Commits $2.5M for Research by Pediatric MS Network -- 9 pediatric MS centers across the country will benefit July 1, 2013 The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has just committed $2.5 million to support research by the Network of Pediatric MS Centers (NPMSC) beginning July 1, 2013. Funding for the nine-center network provides essential infrastructure to facilitate research, including searching for the cause of MS by studying risk factors for the disease in children, close to the time of exposure. This support for data coordination can be leveraged to answer other important research questions to advance our understanding of the disease in this most vulnerable group. The Society's renewed investment supports research activities of the individual centers and the University of Utah Data Coordinating and Analysis Center, which is responsible for patient registry and center collaboration. It also gives NPMSC members ― Boston Children's Hospital, Loma Linda University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo, Stony Brook University Medical Center, Texas Children's Hospital, University of Alabama at Birmingham and University of California San Francisco ― the chance to leverage additional funding sources for specific research questions. "This investment provides the infrastructure and research support needed to keep this unique network ― with the largest group of well-characterized pediatric MS cases in the world ― moving forward," said Dr. Timothy Coetzee, National MS Society chief research officer. "Driving research to improve the care of children affected by MS and determining what triggers this disease is part of our commitment to all people living with MS." The NPMSC was launched with Society funding in 2006 to set the standard for pediatric MS care, educate the medical community about this underserved population, and create the framework to conduct critical research ― both to understand childhood MS and to unlock the mysteries of MS in adults. This initiative, funded through the Society's Promise: 2010 campaign, laid the groundwork for current studies by the NPMSC to measure clinical and cognitive manifestations of early-onset MS, and track environmental and genetic triggering. In contrast to adult MS, pediatric MS appears to have a narrower window of onset with more rapid and pervasive cognitive symptoms, which need to be better understood if effective treatments are to be provided. The network has a close alliance with global research efforts through the International Pediatric MS Study Group, convened by the Society in 2002, and which now includes leadership from the MS International Federation, other MS societies, and medical and scientific leaders from more than 15 counties. "The Network of Pediatric MS Centers is a strategic investment that will help us achieve our most important goal ― a world free of multiple sclerosis," said Cyndi Zagieboylo, president and CEO of the National MS Society. The network will continue to systematically expand to other centers to enhance research efforts.

The Exotic Animal Training and Management (EATM) Program was established as a major at Moorpark College in 1974. Bill "Briz" Brisby, a Professor at Moorpark College, started the program with one animal - "Kiska", the wolf. Additional animals were slowly added, and the "Lower Compound" was constructed (located near the current football stadium), to house all the animals. This first compound was quite dusty, had no landscaping, and would flood in the rains. As the college made more of a commitment to the program, a new location was found.
In 1990, the EATM Compound was moved to its current location, on a 5 acre site overlooking all of the Moorpark College campus. Animal enclosures were built, and new enclosures are always being constructed. The animal collection has gradually increased over the years as animals were acquired through donations and breeding loans from major zoos and research centers. This extraordinary collection has included exotic animals ranging from Marmosets to an Asian Elephant, Leopard Geckos to Alligators, Turacos to Emus. We currently have a Bengal Tiger, African Lioness, Spotted Hyena, Mountain Lions, a wide variety of Primates, Birds, and many, many other exotic and endangered animals. New animals are continuously being acquired, as space arises.
As the animal collection grew, so did the program. New courses were developed and enrollment increased. The present animal collection, is maintained on a five-acre facility on the Moorpark College campus called "America's Teaching Zoo".
Students in the Exotic Animal Training and Management program are required to be at America's Teaching Zoo most days, including weekends when we are open to the public. This requirement is in addition to the long hours and days spent working with and caring for the animals, and attending classes. Our Zoo has about 130 different animals at any time, and the students are responsible for most of the care, feeding and well-being of the animals, under close faculty and staff supervision. Responsibility is a key commitment to this program. Graduates of the EATM program are working all over the world, in many different situations involving animals. They are training dolphins and other marine mammals, doing conservation work, training animals for television and films, working at zoos and theme parks, and many other animal jobs.

Information about how to apply, frequently asked questions, and an application are available online. Feel free to send us an e-mail if you have specific questions.

June 30, 2010
A Missouri VA hospital is under fire because it may have exposed more than 1,800 veterans to life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and HIV.
John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis has recently mailed letters to 1,812 veterans telling them they could contract hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) after visiting the medical center for dental work, said Rep. Russ Carnahan.
Carnahan said Tuesday he is calling for a investigation into the issue and has sent a letter to President Obama about it.
"This is absolutely unacceptable," said Carnahan, a Democrat from Missouri. "No veteran who has served and risked their life for this great nation should have to worry about their personal safety when receiving much needed healthcare services from a Veterans Administration hospital."

SMF Support > Converting to SMF
Common conversion errors.
This is a topic for common errors that you might experience while converting to SMF.
Problem: SELECT command denied to user
Info: The cause of this error is that SMF and Software X are in separate databases and the SMF database user does not have access to Software X's database.
Fix: If your host has cPanel you can add the SMF database user to Software X's database. If your host does not have cPanel you can contact them with regards on how to accomplish this. As well as a last resort, what you can do is reinstall SMF in the same database as Software X.
Problem: Conversion says it finished successfully, but nothing got converted.
Info: The cause of this problem is that your host has session.save_path to a non writeable directory.
Fix: Ask your host to change this setting in php.ini and use the correct path or if you are with Powweb they allow you to change settings in php.ini file. There change the path to the session dir that resides in your site's root dir.
Problem:You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LENGTH(code) DESC' at line 2
Note: This fix only applies for convert.php or a .sql/.php converter file. If you are looking for a SMF fix, please check the Wiki.
Info: The cause of this is a change in MySQL's accepted syntax.
Fix: Open the convert.php and find this section of code:
--- Code: --- convert_query("
ALTER TABLE {$to_prefix}smileys
ORDER BY LENGTH(code) DESC");
--- End code ---
Replace this section with:
--- Code: --- convert_query("
ALTER TABLE {$to_prefix}smileys
ORDER BY code DESC");
--- End code ---
A similar code may be in the .sql/.php converter file. If its a .php file it will look similar to the above code. If it is a .sql file, it would look similar to the below code, and can be removed as the convert.php will handle this query. If you do find this code in a .sql/.php (that isn't convert.php), please post a message in regards to this so we can update our converters if it was missed.
--- Code: ---ALTER TABLE {$to_prefix}smileys
ORDER BY LENGTH(code) DESC;
--- End code ---
Problem: I receive "Duplicate entry '255' for key 1" during the conversion of categories or boards.
Info: The cause of this issue is the software you have converted from is using a category ID higher than 255. It is unrealistic why you would need more than 255 categories by default.
Fix: The fix is quiet simple, you use phpMyAdmin to alter the smf_categories and smf_boards for their ID_CAT (id_cat in SMF 2.0+) to hold a bigger value. A bigint of 4 should due just fine in most cases.
Note: This may cause issues with upgrading in the future such as upgrading to 2.0 where all the columns are now lower case (and camel case removed). Please be aware of this for the future of upgrading your board.
As well, you may try out our [Beta] Tool to correct High ID_CAT values, which will only fix current values for after the conversion. Although if you stop after the first step, it is safe to continue the conversion.
Problem: My forum has weird symbols after converting in its posts/members/boards
Info This is usually a result of a incorrect character set in the database during the conversion process. To fix this, you should use UTF-8 while converting.
Fix: In general you will on the convert screen, select the database collation that you where using on your forum.
As well, in the Administration Center > Forum Maintenance, you will find a link to convert HTML entities to UTF-8 (If you do not see this you are not using UTF-8 yet). This may fix these symbols.
Please see our UTF-8 Conversion topic for more information.

Democratic Members in Agreement To Favor Rejected Act Garner Breaks Impasse Measure To Fall Short by $585,000,000 Over Desired Amount WASHINGTON. May 28—(U.E)— The deadlock in the senate finance committee over the administration's new revenue bill was broken late today when Democratic members of the group agreed to report favorably tomorrow the "compromise" measure rejected by President Roosevelt. The bill would impose a flat 18 per cent tax on corporation income and a 7 per cent supertax on that portion of corporate income which is not distributed In dividends. Experts estimated the senate measure would fall $585,000,000 short over a three-year period of the amount demanded by the president to balance the ordinary budget and finance the bonus and farm programs. j Exemption pp^ioscd An exemption of $1,000 to corporations having annual earnings of $15,000 and less is proposed in the senate bill. Unpaid or refunded AAA processing taxes would be taxed 80 per cent. Observers believed the long impasse in committee was broken only after Vice-President John N. Garner had intervened. He appeared in the senate corridor facing the room in which the revolting Democrats were meeting and sent the head page scurrying inside. A few moments later, Sen. Tom Connally, Democrat, Texas, emerged and was followed by Sen. Josiah Bailey, Democrat, North Carolina. The trio stepped a few paces away from a group of newspaper reporters and soon one of Garner's fists Meeting for the purpose of electing officers for next year, members of Ball and Chain, honorary managers' fraternity, will gather today at 10 o'clock in the social hall of Student Union, according to word received from Ed Abbott, president, last night. "Because of excessive absences at meetings, the election has been postponed until tcday," Abbott stated. "An active program has been scheduled for the coming year, and it is imperative that every member be present to hear the proposed plans." "Incoming officers will find a real job on their hands. I hope that all members will attend the meeting today and start thing*, right for next year," Abbott further said.

Wash., May 28—(UP)— A man who gave his name as John Fraser, 40, Vancouver, B.C., late today shot and killed Charles M. Flachs, 44, head of the U.S. immigration bureau here, as immigration officers purepared to search him. In the scuffle which followed Fraser slightly wounded Customs Inspector Leroy J. Pike and then shot himself through the eye. Fraser was taken to a Bellingham hospital, where his condition was reported critical. Canadian authorities immediately began a check to determine Fraser's true identity. He gave as his address a Vancouver street number which does not exist. It was believed he might be a man named McMullen, who recently participated in the Bank of Nova Scotia robbery at Montreal McMullen's companion ln the Montreal bank robbery was Red Ryan, notorious bandit, who was slain during an attempted robbery of a liquor store at Sarnia, Ont., last Saturday. WASHINGTON, May 28—(U.P)— The house voted 271 to 41 today to cite Dr. Francis E. Townsend and two of his pension plan aides for contempt, beating down all points of order raised by a small bloc of Townsendites who could not muster enough strength even to force a roll call. By its action the house turned over to U. S. Attorney Leslie C. Garnett of the District of Columbia the task of seeking an indictment against Townsend, Dr. Clinton Wunder, and J. B. Kiefer charging them with contempt of the house for refusing to testify before the special committee investigating the $200-a-month old age pension scheme. The committee chose to recommend trial in the local supreme court rather than in the house so as not to delay adjournment. It was just a week ago today that Townsend read a defiant statement to the committee at the close of two and one-half days' questioning and stalked out of the hearing room. From Baltimore he kept up a barrage of statements challenging the committee to arrest him, and challenging indictment on the charges made against him during testimony. Finally he ordered his officers. already under subpoena, not to testify. Wunder and Kiefer followed his instructions and thus were cited with their leader. Informed of the house action. Townsend said he understood the over the committee's treatment of him was somewhat ameliorated by his "amusement" over its failure to recommend contempt charges against Sheridan Downey, his attorney, who also refused to testify. Townsend haid he understood the committee ignored Downey because it feared such action would "elect him governor of California." "Congress is afraid to bring me before the bar of the house for an open discussion of this notorious case," Townsend said. Commencement Concert To Be Presented Monday The annual commencement concert by the students in the School of Music will be given Monday night at 8:15 o'clock in Bovard auditorium.

'We Must Awake,' Benson Congressional Committee Will Make Search of Terror Groups DETROIT, May 28 —(U.P1—The federal government replied today to an invitation to enter the investigation of the night-riding terroristic society, the Black Legion. District Attorney Duncan C. McCrea pressed his search for 12 fugitive legionairea whose arrests may bolster his charge that the spiritual heir of the Ku Klux Klan, accused of responsibility for killings and floggings, Is operating actively in 15 to 18 states, particularly in New York city and Chicago. Moves for congressional investigation of the Black Legion and other "un-American" secret orders gained impetus on capitol hill. Injury Is Made A thorough inquiry into all such "subversive" organizations by a joint congressional committee was proposed in a resolution introduced in the senate today by Sen. Elmer Benson. N-L., Minn. A similar.resolution was offered in the house yesterday by Rep. Samuel Dcksten, R N. Y. Benson urged congress to ace promptly before "we awake to the day when our cherished American liberty will be a thing of ^he past/-His proposal called for appointment of four senators and four representatives with full power to make thorough investigation of secret orders "seeking to establish dictatorship or rule by force and terror in the United States. Several clauses citing an "emergency" demanding action in his resolution included: Revelations Made •Peace officers in many sections of the United States have disclosed the existence and operation of subversive secret orders which have adopted methods of terrorism, night riding, brutality, and even murder to attain un-American ends and purposes. "Apprehended members of such an organization have confessed that recruits were required to take the oath to kill if necessary to enforce its edicts, and that the organization adopted such methods as kidnaping, brutality, mutilation, ritual execution, and murder as means to intimidation. "Such organizations are alleged to have burned houses of worship and sacred insignia, and are suspected of firing and destroying the famous house of worship of Father Charles E. Coughlin, to enforce its declared purpose of extermination of certain religions, races, and creeds in direct violation of the fundamental principles of our government."

ANGOLA, La, May 28—01— Possemen with nervous trigger fingers prowled the Tunica hills tonight in a search of a fugitive con-vict-killer and fired indiscriminately on every suspicious figure. They shot up each other and killed a farm boy by mistake. A posse and a pack of bloodhounds strung out through the Tunica hills early today, seeking Winifred Lindsley, 23, who, while serving life for murder in Louisiana state prison camp here, murdered the captain of the prison guard and his wife. Hounds Find Trail Bloodhounds frequently picked up Lindsley's trail across the damp ground and Warden Louis Jones believed his capture was imminent.

The Rotary club head is well-known at S.C., having spoken to several student gatherings.

Following these rites seniors will adjourn to Town and Gown, for the "president's levee," an annual luncheon given to graduate students by Dr. and Mrs. von KleinSmid. The Dcg-on button tradition, which is being revived after a six-year omission, will be awarded to the senior who can make a professor laugh ths loudest between now and finals. Two other seniors must bs present to vouch for the success of the efforts and must sign an application, describing the means used to evoke the guffaw.

Writing publicly about one's still is a lot like writing about one's bong. You must be careful, since having one and using one could be on different sides of the bounds of legality. Distillation of alcohol for drinking, like growing weed, is strictly illegal.
I don't know anything about bongs, but I must say, I really enjoy using my still. (Note to Feds: I use it strictly for distilling legal, natural essences.) The still set-up is basically a boiling flask connected via a long glass arm to a water-filled condenser unit. Although the micro-still is very small, having a boiling capacity of about a quart, I find using it to be a lot of fun. It's amazing how proficient one can get in a short time. Making ethanol from grain and sugar is a fairly simple process, and reasonable success comes quickly, but getting really good at it can take years.
Producing high-proof alcohol is possible because of two wonderful scientific truths. The first is that yeast ferments sugar; that is, the tiny yeast fungi feed on sugar and convert it carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. The second is that alcohol and water boil at two different temperatures.
It's the second item, separating liquids based on differing boiling points, for which a still is useful. United Nuclear sells an excellent micro-still set up. The components are all glass (no lead poisoning worries) and the connections are 24/40 ground glass joints. (That means the connections between glass components fit tightly.)
