Geneva, 22 Nov (Kanaga Raja) -- There is need for a code of ethics for economists in light of the fact that in the vast majority of the time, academic financial economists have failed to identify their affiliations with private or public financial institutions and possible conflicts of interest when writing about or commenting on financial policy issues.
This is one of the main findings of a study by the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) of the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The study, in the form of a Working Paper titled "Financial Economists, Financial Interests and Dark Corners of the Meltdown: It's Time to set Ethical Standards for the Economics Profession", was authored by Gerald Epstein and Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth.
According to the authors, their study analyses the conflict of interest that exists when academic financial economists, in their roles as presumed objective experts, while writing articles in newspapers, testifying in public panels, taking positions as advisors for politicians or when being interviewed by the media on topics such as financial regulation, fail to report their private financial affiliations.
Stressing that economics is unusual among the professions in that it does not have a code of ethics providing guidelines to navigate possible conflicts of interest, the authors said: "It seems apparent that a first step for economists is to create and adhere to a code of ethics."
In the context of their study, the authors underlined that the code of ethics would prescribe that economists list their private affiliations in any appearance for the media or the government when there is a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest.
The authors said that they analysed the linkages between academia, private financial institutions and public institutions of nineteen academic financial economists who are members of two groups -- the Squam Lake Working Group on Financial Regulation and the Pew Economic Policy Group Financial Reform Project -- who have put forth proposals on financial reform. The majority of these are prestigious academic financial economists.
In addition, the authors reviewed media writings and appearances, as well as the academic papers of these economists between 2005 and 2009, to determine the portion of the time these economists identified their affiliations with private or public financial institutions when writing about or commenting on financial policy issues.
According to the working paper, academic economists often occupy roles not only in academia itself, but also in both the general media and in politics.. Often, they are looked to as experts in their fields.
"They write op-eds for newspapers, they testify on public panels, they take positions as advisors for politicians and they are interviewed by the media. Academic economists often convey the impression that they occupy these positions as independent objective experts."
"At the same time, some academic financial economists also consult for, serve on the boards of and even own private financial institutions. When economists serve a role as an objective expert for the media as well as a role with the private sector, there is a conflict of interest. Their objectivity may be compromised by their work in the private sector or, at least, raise questions about the possibility of bias. In this case, those relying on academic economists' assessments to help them make judgements about economic or policy issues deserve to know that such a potential bias exists," the paper adds.
The paper stresses that the issue has a great deal of salience, as the debate over financial reform has taken centre stage and many prominent academic economists have been called on to discuss and even formally testify before Congress on financial legislation.
The authors noted that the question of financial economists' potential conflicts of interest arises in the context of the role economists have played in the run-up to the financial crisis of 2007-2010.
"One widely discussed issue has been this: why did the vast majority of economists fail to foresee the financial crisis despite numerous signs all around them?"
There are several prominent explanations, the paper points out. One is that economists depended too much on abstract models that do not allow for bubbles and crisis. Another is that they were blinded by ideology. A third possibility is that economists faced a conflict of interest. In this third scenario, academic financial economists, like so many others, had perverse incentives not to recognize the crisis.
There is a well documented relationship between Wall Street, the White House and the government. Some prominent examples have received wide-spread attention: Timothy Geithner, the current Treasury Secretary, has several counsellors that were receiving millions of dollars each year from Wall Street firms, such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc. among others, the paper notes.
Two of these aides are Lee Sachs and Gene Sperling. Lee Sachs received $3 million in salary pay as well as partnership income while working for the Mariner Investment Group. Gene Sperling made $887,727 in 2008 from Goldman Sachs as well as $158,000 in speaking fees, primarily coming from financial companies. Both Sachs and Sperling receive $162,900 from their job as aides for the Treasury.
The authors also noted that another member close to US President Barack Obama is Lawrence Summers, the Director of the White House's National Economic Council. Summers (who has since left his post) has been found to have received around $5.2 million during 2008-2009 from the hedge fund D. E. Shaw, as well as, additional money from other major financial firms, mostly in speaker's fees.
"The academic financial economist faces a conflict of interest when s/he has private financial affiliations and also serves in the media as a public expert," says the paper, adding that although the conflict of interest between the business economist who serves public positions has been written about widely, that of the academic financial economist has received little attention.
The authors found that academic financial economists are not disclosing these potential conflicts of interest either publicly or academically.
"Moreover, these conflicts of interest could have potentially hindered the identification of the housing bubble and can potentially hinder the formation of a strong proposal for financial reform", they said.
They added however that they did not present evidence here in support of these effects which they suggested should be the subject of future research.
The authors also stressed that the study is not based on a random sample of financial economists, and that it only deals with a small subsection of financial academic economists and is therefore only suggestive of a broader problem.
In order to evaluate the extent of the affiliations between the financial academic economists and the private sector, the authors said that they began with two groups of economists that were prominent in the field of financial economics and which had taken a public stance on financial regulation, the Squam Lake Group and the PEW project on Financial Reform.
Their findings are that of the nineteen economists that the authors included in their study, thirteen, or almost 70%, worked in some capacity with private financial institutions. In the sample, two of the financial academic economists are co-founders of private financial services firms where they work in key positions, one as managing partner and the other as chief economist. A third economist works for two banks, in one case, as president and in the other, as director. Eight of the financial academic economists serve on the board of directors of private financial firms and two economists were identified as consultants or affiliated experts for private financial firms.
"The fact that well over half the economists we evaluated have positions with private financial firms shows how commonplace it is. The question arises: how often and in what contexts do these financial economists reveal their connections to these private firms?" the authors asked.
On how the economists identified themselves in their writings, the authors said that they reviewed both general media and academic publications, evaluating how the economists identified themselves in both domains.
With regards to how the economists identified themselves in their academic publications, the paper finds that the most common identification was with their academic position, labelled professor, and inclusion as a member of NBER (National Bureau for Economic Research), and occasionally by prestigious appointments in public and international institutions.
On the proportion of times these economists identified their private financial affiliations in their academic papers, the study finds that these economists rarely identified themselves as working in the private sphere.
On the percentage of media articles in which the economists cite themselves as having affiliations with private financial institutions, the paper again finds that economists most often identify themselves with their academic position and rarely with their roles in private financial institutions. This occurs even when they are proposing policies concerning the regulation of financial markets.
In the case of media articles, the authors found that most of the economists did not identify themselves with the private financial institutions they had affiliations with. Of the thirteen economists with ties to the private financial world, eight of them did not acknowledge these ties in any of the general media articles reviewed.
"This means that a very significant portion of the economists did not recognize any affiliation or possible conflicts of interest when identifying themselves in the general media. The remaining four that did recognize an affiliation did so to differing degrees," says the paper.
It notes: "It is reasonable to think that the media bears some responsibility here and should inquire as to whether the economist has private affiliations when interviewing him or her. But, rarely did the media take on the role of identifying these economists with their private financial institutions in order to qualify or alert readers to conflicts of interest. Thus, if the economists do not take on this ethical imperative, there is little chance the media will take it up either."
The authors said that they also explored what quantitative effects these conflicts of interest may have on the strength of the calls for regulation by these economists. They found that it was very difficult to make a quantitative argument. There seems to be little difference between those with private financial affiliation and those without.
The paper underscores that there are many reasons why this could be the case. First, there may be a similar overarching ideology prevalent in economics concerning the virtues of the free market that the majority of mainstream economists ascribe to. Second, it could be that central banks, governments and international institutions prefer to employ economists with a similar outlook on regulation as those chosen by private institutions. Third, there is the possibility that the lines between academic financial economists and private financial affiliations may be much more fluid than was captured due to the difficulties of locating consultancies.
"We hoped to answer the question of whether these economists' positions with private financial institutions affect the extent of their calls for financial reform. We conjectured that the stronger the economists' alliance with the private sector the weaker would be their calls for regulation. A problem we encountered was the little variation on financial reform calls among the economists in our study. This is indicated by the range of only 0-33% [the range of opinions as measured by the authors' Financial Reform Index] ....," the authors said.
They added: "Moreover, the small size of our sample renders impossible any rigorous test of this hypothesis. In any case, it is difficult from our data to tell if there is a significant difference in the extent of regulation called for between those with links to private financial institutions and those without."
The authors further highlighted that the economists included in the study not only have connections to private financial firms, they are also connected to public entities and international organizations. Many of the economists work for central banks both within and outside of the US, for international institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, as well as occupying government positions in the US and abroad.
"In recent years, these institutions have, for the most part, promoted widespread financial de-regulation."
On the economists and what kinds of public positions they hold categorized by central banks, international institutions and government positions, the paper finds that a significant portion, eight of nineteen (42%) of the economists the authors looked at, currently hold positions or have held positions in such entities over the period 2006 to 2009.
During that period, six economists have been or are currently working with the Federal Reserve, two have been or are currently working with international institutions and one has been or is currently working in a government position.
"This number increases substantially if we include the total past history of the economists in our study. In this case, we find that fourteen of the nineteen (74%) economists have at some point held a position in one of these entities," the authors said.
"Although this is not the main focus of our paper, it is useful to recognize that public sector, government and positions in international institutions could cause a similar bias as that which we found with regards to the private financial institutions. If this is true, then it may be ethically necessary to disclose these positions as well as those in private financial firms," they added.
The authors further found that the academic financial economists in the study often hold positions in the private sphere, for public entities, or for international organizations; and occasionally they work in a combination of these.
"We find that many of these economists hold more than one job. While holding a prestigious academic job, they may also work in the private financial sector, with public entities or international organizations... It is plain that the purely academic financial economist in our survey is a rare species indeed."
The paper also addresses the impact of the recent financial crisis, saying that the crisis is a clear indicator of problems existent in the financial sector. These problems were not recognized by much of the economics profession prior to the financial crisis.
Many mainstream academic financial economists did not question the increasing leverage and underlying insecurity of the financial sector, relying instead on the institutions and practices of the New Financial Architecture (NFA), which integrates minimal regulation with complex financial instruments and government bailouts, assuming that unhindered capital markets correctly price securities and distribute risk to those best able to handle it, minimizing that risk in financial markets.
"The recent turmoil exposed the many fallacies of the NFA, including the instability of new and complex financial instruments that achieved a prominent role in the financial infrastructure, as well as the instability caused by the progressive dismantling of financial regulation over the past thirty to forty years," said the authors.
The authors also assessed whether the economists they reviewed changed their minds before and after the crisis with respect to financial reform. Of the nineteen economists they evaluated, nine have changed their opinions with regards to financial reform after the financial crisis. This is almost half of the economists in the study. If one excludes the four economists whose views could not be evaluated, then 9 out of 15, or 60% changed their minds on regulation after the crisis.
As to wether this is a lot or only a little, the authors noted: "In view of the severity of the crisis and the role of financial regulation (or the lack thereof in precipitating it), 60% seems remarkably low to us."
The authors stressed that economics is unusual among the professions in that it does not have a code of ethics providing guidelines to navigate possible conflicts of interest.
"It seems apparent that a first step for economists is to create and adhere to a code of ethics," they said, adding that in the context of this paper, the code of ethics would prescribe that economists list their private affiliations in any appearance for the media or the government when there is a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest.
For example, they suggested, if an economist were to write an op-ed, they should describe themselves not only as a professor but also as a board member, an owner and/or a consultant. These roles should also be reported when testifying in government positions or being interviewed by the media.
"In this study, we showed that the great majority of two groups of prominent academic financial economists did not disclose their private financial affiliation even when writing pieces on financial reform. This presents a potential conflict of interest. If this pattern prevailed among academic financial economists more broadly, this, in our view, would represent an even greater social problem," the authors cautioned. +

For those economists who know the history of their profession, the ethical basis of economics can be traced back to The Theory of Moral Sentiments, written by Adam Smith in 1759. For a brief introduction to this wonderful book and to the ethical foundations of classical economics, please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_of_Moral_Sentiments .
Darwin who has been misinterpreted and misused by many, including economists, could help in shaping this new economic order. See reference below on the re-emergence of the evolutionary economic model. we're all animals after all and driven by the same rules and forces.

Today, medical researchers are investigating why it is that the incidence of Alzheimer's disease is higher in blacks than whites. A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society reports the following statistics on Alzheimer's Disease:
Incidence per 100 people at 80 years old:
Black, males
Black, females
There are a number of reversible conditions that may appear to be dementia and/or the beginning stages of Alzheimer's but are not. These conditions include:
Don't assume that memory loss and confusion are natural parts of aging. They're not.
You can change your lifestyle and possibly reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's diseases, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Making small lifestyle changes can delay onset of Alzheimer's disease, by reducing the risk of other conditions that contribute to the development of Alzheimer's including diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Recommendations include:
One way to help researchers determine why memory loss is greater among African Americans is to join a medical study. At this time, it is not clear why a greater number of African Americans suffer from Alzheimer's Disease. If we find out why, we may be able to direct improved therapies to reduce the impact of the disease.
Each study is different and involves different levels of participation. Studies may compare different ethnicities. Some studies are on the internet, where others require a patient to be examined. Hands on involvement can range from taking a memory test to brain scans and other genetic testing. What each study has in common is that it adds to what is known about Alzheimer's disease so that it can be prevented and eventually cured.
It is well-known that a serious obstacle in recruiting African Americans to participate in medical studies is distrust of the medical establishment. It is fueled by past abuses like the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, in which the government studied the effects of untreated syphilis on black men. Today medical studies are tightly regulated. Protocols must be closely followed that protect all study participants' privacy and safety.

STARKE, Fla. (AP) — The father of a 9-year-old South Florida boy raped and murdered in 1995 says he hopes the killer's execution sends a strong signal to other would-be child molesters and abductors.
Don Ryce's son Jimmy Ryce was kidnapped at gunpoint after getting off a school bus in September 1995.
He spoke Wednesday night after 46-year-old Juan Carlos Chavez was executed by lethal injection at Florida State Prison.
Ryce's parents turned the tragedy's pain into a push for stronger U.S. laws regarding confinement of sexual predators and improved police procedures in missing child cases. Their foundation provided hundreds of free canines to law enforcement agencies to aid in searches for children.

Several Onslow County nonprofits are preparing to make this holiday season memorable for families in need.
Several Onslow County nonprofits are preparing to make this holiday season memorable for families in need.
Onslow Christmas Cheer is accepting applications for those who need assistance this Christmas.
�The volunteers at Christmas Cheer, their logo is �We do it for the children,� said Onslow Community Outreach director Theo McClammy. �Regardless of how our children came to be in need, regardless of what the parent or what custodial parent did or not do, on Christmas morning we want all our children to wake with a smile on their face and the spirit of Christmas in their heart.�
McClammy said Christmas Cheer illustrates the caring heart of Onslow County.
Applications can be submitted at Christmas Cheer Headquarters at 211 Drummer Kellum Road: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Nov. 18-22; and 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 19 and Nov. 21.
The Onslow Community Outreach Program collects new toys to distribute to children ages 12 and younger.
According to information from the nonprofit, it typically provides Christmas for 1,500 children annually. The program costs about $30,000 to operate annually and all funds donated for Christmas Cheer go to toys, food or special items.
Organizers say residents have several opportunities to help and can sponsor a family, or collect gifts and food.
Sponsors typically spend about $100 per sponsored family member, organizers say.
For those interested in donating toys, organizers say their largest need are donations for children ages 10 to 12 and gifts for teenagers.
Acceptable food donations include canned meats, beans and rice.
Toys for Tots drive begins
The Marine Corps Reserve also is collecting for its annual Toys for Tots drive, which hopes to brighten the holidays for children in and around Onslow County.
The collection of toys in Onslow County began Friday. And Monday, more drop-off sites have been added.
�Personally, it�s great to be involved with the program,� said Gunnery Sgt. Robert Patterson, 39, of Jacksonville and coordinator for Onslow County Toys for Tots. �I�ve got a passion for kids.�
Donated toys must be new, unwrapped and bear no resemblance to weapons, Patterson said.
�It�s great for the community and helps out with people who are on hard times and struggling,� Patterson said.
Dropoff locations include: Martial Arts and More at 115 Branchwood Drive in Jacksonville; Lejeune Honda at 2221 N. Marine Blvd. in Jacksonville; Night Moves Inc. at 1207 Hargett St. in Jacksonville; and Sanders Ford in Jacksonville and Swansboro.
Parents interested in receiving Toys for Tots donations can apply through Christmas Cheer, which stores the toys in its warehouse. Once approved, an adult family member can peruse the warehouse and pick out a select number of toys per child. For more information, visit Onslowco.org/cc,
Bell ringers sought
The Salvation Army�s Red Kettle Campaign begins the week before Thanksgiving. Volunteers are sought to ring bells and collect donations locally. Organizers hope to be out in full force on Black Friday.
So far, there are 12 planned locations for bell ringers, Maj. JoAnn Mure said.
�We�re already in full swing,� she said. �We�ve got the ad in the paper right now, we�re looking for, of course, paid employees because we never get enough volunteers who sign up.�
Mure said that last year, volunteers filled 40 percent of local bell-ringing hours.
Bell ringers can sign up individually; or businesses and organizations can register.
For example, National Dodge typically signs up for a week and the Onslow County Sheriff�s Office has registered for a location this year.
Shifts typically are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 3 to 8 p.m.
If interested in participating in the Red Kettle Campaign, call 910-346-8800 or visit RedKettleVolunteer.org.

NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. – A juggernaut rushing attack, coupled with some big takeaways from its defense, lifted Manchester University to a 42-13 win over Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference rival Anderson University Saturday, Nov. 16.
Senior quarterback Nick Williams (Fort Wayne, Ind.), one of 20 players stepping onto the natural grass at Carl W. Burt Memorial Field for the last time, took advantage of the opportunity. He rushed for 148 yards on 29 carries and scored three touchdowns to propel the rushing attack. MU finished the ground assault with 61 attempts for 232 yards.
Claiming the coveted Bronze Ball for the fifth time in the last six years, MU (3-7 overall, 3-5 HCAC) was also in the right place at the right time at some critical stages. The trend started early.
After being forced to punt on its first drive, the defense stepped up with senior linebacker Zach Dashner's (South Bend, Ind.) sixth interception of the year. The Spartans marched from the Ravens' 35 to the three-yard line before being forced to try a field goal. Despite freshman place-kicker Riley Ellington's (Indianapolis, Ind.) attempt being blocked, senior offensive lineman Eric Courter (Elkhart, Ind.) grabbed the ball out of the air and went into the end zone for a touchdown.
Another highlight reel play occurred after AU (0-10, 0-8 HCAC) had trimmed the deficit to 14-7 early in the second period. Freshman return specialist Dakota Nelson (Fairland, Ind.), continuing to make his mark in the conference and NCAA Division III, broke loose down the right sideline for an 84-yard kickoff touchdown return. Williams added two of his rushing scores in the second period for a 28-7 halftime lead.
Manchester University posted a pair of touchdowns in the final quarter. Junior linebacker Evan West (Hartford City, Ind.) was the recipient of a bad snap that rolled into the Ravens' end zone for a touchdown, while Williams bowled in from three yards out to end the six-touchdown Senior Day 2013 special.
The Black and Gold defense concluded the afternoon with four interceptions, two fumble recoveries, eight pass break-ups and three sacks as part of a strong resume. Senior linebacker Dylin Kennedy (North Manchester, Ind.) joined the career 200-tackle club with 11 total of which six were solos. Dashner added eight, while underclassmen defensive backs Taylor Anglemeyer, a sophomore from Wakarusa, Ind., and freshman Jarvis Mitchell (South Bend, Ind.) ended with five tackles each.

If You Block Your P2P App From Sharing Files, Are You Still Guilty Of Making Files Available?
from the it's-going-to-need-to-in-this-case dept
That said, in one case, it may be facing an even bigger uphill battle. That's because it charged someone with distributing/uploading content, despite the fact that he'd modded his file sharing software to not allow any uploads. It's difficult to see how they can get him for even "making available" given that he set up the software in a way to not actually make anything available at all. But, of course, given how much the entertainment industry relies on flimsy evidence, it's probably no surprise that it didn't even check to see if this guy was making any files available before charging him with doing so.

Drum Tech Dies in Radiohead Stage Collapse
The temporary roof collapsed over Radiohead's stage in Toronto June 17, killing a member of the crew and injuring three others.
Radiohead's drum tech Scott Johnson was pronounced dead on the scene when investigators were able to get to his body through the wreckage at 8pm. The stage had collapsed hours before, while fans were still lining up outside the gates.
"I want you to know, he's not coming back." So sings Thom Yorke on Radiohead's "Knives Out," a somber tune full of sadness on Amnesiac. The Flaming Lips dedicated the song to Johnson before playing it to a group of fans who had gathered at the Toronto concert the same day after the Radiohead show had been cancelled. "Peace be with their hearts tonight," said Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne.
Who is at fault, what happened and the ramifications of the accident are all yet to be determined, possibly mired in insurance investigations for years to come.

"Modern Family"? Check. "Breaking Bad"? Double check. Jeff Daniels? Whaaaaaa????
The 2013 Emmy Awards made for a changeable evening with voters swinging wildly between rubber-stamping old favorites and offering up jaw-dropping surprises. It was, to quote noted Emmy handicapper Jimi Hendrix, a "frustrating mess" for anyone making predictions.
That said, let's run down the list of winners and see whether we can make some sense from the higgledy-piggledy happenings of the evening.
Emmys 2013: Full coverage | Best & worst Emmy moments | Red carpet video | Quotes from the stars
The favorite: "Breaking Bad"
The winner: "Breaking Bad"
Analysis: Finally. Fans would have sent Emmy voters on a trip to Belize had the show been denied its first win in this category.
The favorite: "Modern Family"
The winner: "Modern Family"
Analysis: Again? Yes. Again. With its cable competitors "Louie," "Veep" and "Girls" sharing a similar comic sensibility (you could throw NBC's acerbic "30 Rock" in there as well) and, thus, dividing the vote, "Modern Family" probably had to beat only its equally popular broadcast network offering "The Big Bang Theory" to win its fourth straight Emmy.
The favorite: Bryan Cranston, "Breaking Bad"
The winner: Jeff Daniels, "The Newsroom"
Analysis: If the Emmys were going to go for a movie star here, everyone assumed it'd be Kevin Spacey for "House of Cards." Daniels, though, had a killer three-minute monologue in his Emmy episode submission. Aaron Sorkin wrote it, and Daniels nailed it, and apparently that was enough for voters.
More Emmys: Red carpet | Play-at-home ballot | Timeline | L.A. Times photo booth | Emmys presenters
The favorites: Claire Danes, "Homeland" and Kerry Washington, "Scandal"
The winner: Danes
Analysis: Many thought voters would choose Washington for the hit "Scandal," making her the first black actress to win this category. But Danes had a stronger Emmy submission, "Q&A," that afforded her more big acting moments than could be found on Washington's soapy political drama.
The favorites: Louis C.K., "Louie" and Jim Parsons, "The Big Bang Theory"
The winner: Parsons.
Analysis: Parsons' Emmy submission, "The Habitation Configuration," was a flawless episode of "The Big Bang Theory" that generously demonstrated his comic timing and likability. C.K.'s Emmy episode was the first of a two-parter. It was charming enough, but not necessarily indicative of the show's ambition and comic risk-taking.
The favorite: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Veep"
The winner: Louis-Dreyfus, "Veep"
Analysis: Fourteen nominations. Four wins. What do you need to know? They like her! They really like her!
More Emmys photos: Top winners & nominees | Show highlights
The favorite: Mandy Patinkin, "Homeland"
The winner: Bobby Cannavale, "Boardwalk Empire"
Analysis: If Patinkin was going to be denied, most figured that one of the "Breaking Bad" nominees – last year's winner Aaron Paul or Jonathan Banks would win. Cannavale? His Emmy episode had him punching a priest, berating Jesus and stealing from the collection plate. Maybe there were a lot of lapsed Catholics among voters.
The favorite: Anna Gunn, "Breaking Bad"
The winner: Gunn
Analysis: She joins co-stars Cranston and Paul as Emmy winners. Gunn had a stellar episode, the one where Skyler stages a suicide and later tells Walt she's waiting/hoping/wishing for him to die. A supporting performer couldn't have a better showcase.
The favorite: Ty Burrell, "Modern Family"
The winner: Tony Hale, "Veep"
Analysis: Given how great Hale was in both "Veep" and "Arrested Development" (not to mention helping Louis-Dreyfus deliver her Emmy acceptance speech), voters had a strong alternative to the "Modern Family" gang (the show had won this category the past three years) and went with it. They made the right call.
The favorite: Julie Bowen, "Modern Family"
The winner: Merritt Wever, "Nurse Jackie"
Analysis: Easily, the night's biggest shocker. (Maybe voters knew she'd deliver that great speech.) Did "Modern Family" nominees Bowen and Sofia Vergara cancel each other out? Or, more likely, do voters just dig Wever's charmingly naive character on "Nurse Jackie," even if the show, in its fifth season, isn't generating much conversation these days?

James Bianco & Irina Amzashvilli were initiated into the Hat Trick Club this weekend. They are now members of the League of Extraordinary Hat-trickers.
This is one of the best versions of this routine I've seen them do. Sure, there were a few little flubs, but honestly, they freaking hit it. The crowd was awesome and Tips & Tops were men of legend. Well done men!!!

2nd Place – Conrad Friesen & Sarah Stembridge

1st Place – Peter Kertzner & Irina Amzashvilli
2nd Place – Stephen Sayer & Chandrae Roettig

Bang & Olufsen Launches $8,000 BeoVision Avant TV
An intersting feature of the BeoVision Avant TV is its rotating stand, which allows the TV to actually
move, point in the viewer's direction and also move away from the wall towards the viewer. However, this extra gunctionality would cost you some additional $2,000 (!) for the
motorised stand.
The UHDTV features an integrated "three channel" stereo speaker setup, Spotify and Deezer, WiFi, 6 x HDMI ports and supports WiSA / wireless audio. The built in speakers emerge from below the screen as soon as you switch the set on.
The BeoRemote One, Bang and Olufsen's universal remote, can control everything in your front room, and has three buttons that automatically switch the Avant on with your favorite settings and/or channel. The Avant will also let you control other devices such as a cable box or your PlayStation, even if even when these devices are placed in another room.
The BeoVision Avant manages your speaker output depending on your setup and taste. In a full surround setup with two additional front speakers, a subwoofer and two rear speakers, BeoVision Avant devotes all its built-in drivers to dialogue. Alternatively, BeoVision Avant can replace the two additional front speakers by splitting its own drivers into dedicated right, left and centre channels.
Similarly, a sensors measure the ambient light and even room color to automatically adjust the TV's image reproduction to Bang & Olufsen's optimized settings.

MADRID (AP) — Protesters jeered the former treasurer of Spain's ruling Popular Party on Wednesday after prosecutors questioned him about documents that allegedly show he once paid slush money to leading party members, including Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
A handful of people shouted "thief" and "give the money back" at Luis Barcenas as police escorted him to a waiting taxi.
Barcenas was called in for questions after leading newspaper El Pais last week published what it called Barcenas' "secret papers," with alleged copies of records from several years ago showing names and amounts received. The money was allegedly mostly paid by construction companies.
Both Barcenas and the Popular Party, which have since broken ties, claim the documents are false and deny any wrongdoing.
Barcenas declined to talk to reporters Wednesday.
The scandal, although only one of many in Spain, has particularly angered the public because Rajoy is demanding major sacrifices from Spaniards as the country battles recession and 25 percent unemployment.
Speaking in Germany on Monday, Rajoy said the allegations were "completely false" and vowed that his government would not let the scandal distract his reform course.
Opposition leaders have called for him to resign. Police had to cordon off streets around the party's headquarters for several days in a row last week to prevent protesters getting near.

This coffee set was brought by a Jewish family to the UK from Aden (Yemen) and used to make traditional Eastern style coffee.
Following the Six Day War in 1967, Jews were forced to flee Aden after riots and demonstrations. Some settled in the UK due to its links with Aden as a former British colony. There were also a number of other migrations from Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Iraq and Syria as Jews faced persecution following the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

UPDATED: Tilton fireworks accident victim in stable condition with eye injuryBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
July 07. 2013 6:11PM
TILTON – A 48-year-old man who suffered an eye injury after lighting a "quick fuse" on a 19-shot firework was in stable condition after being airlifted to a Boston hospital just after midnight Sunday, police said.
James Virgin, the brother of the homeowner at 45 Vista Heights, lit a fuse on a 19-shot "cake" firework and was standing over it when a shot fired and caught him in the eye at about 10 p.m. Saturday night, said Police Lt. Richard Paulhus.
"He lit it and it went boom," Paulhus said. "It could have been human error on the firework manufacturer or on the victim's part, we're not sure."
Virgin's family members, who would not comment on the accident at their home on Sunday, had been lighting fireworks in the same place in their yard for the past 20 years, Paulhus said.
"It was just a very unfortunate accident," he said.
The firework was a Class C or consumer firework made by AAH Fireworks of West Paris, Maine, a company which distributes fireworks to several stores in New Hampshire, including Fireworks of Tilton at 47 Tilton Road in Tilton.
The firework's product identification was AM07002, Paulhus said, which matches the "Platinum Series" 19-shot cake firework, which carries a warning on the side that says "Warning: Shoots flaming balls and reports."
The owner of AAH Fireworks, Andre Vandebulcke, confirmed Sunday that the product number fits the Platinum Series 19-shot firework. He said the firework does use a "quick fuse" system, but said the term "quick fuse" refers to the fuse inside the firework.
The outer fuse of the firework gives the user 7-8 seconds to get away before the firework goes off, he said.
"There are no quick fuses on the outside of them, there's plenty of time to get away," Vandebulcke said.
"Obviously our hearts go out to the victim," he said.
Class C fireworks are legal to use in Tilton, Paulhus said.
The Tilton-Northfield Fire Department has numerous warnings posted on its webpage warning of the danger of fireworks.

thanks martha for making the rest of us look like fuckheads
everything should be this orderly. this image makes me feel safe and happy. she ironed that shit til 5 AM after a party one time. you know she did.
just more of the awesome..
here we have her main pad cameltoe corners. (you might know it as cantitoe but now you know it as cameltoe). more order and too many fucking plates. does she really entertain that much? and why the fuck have i not been invited? i am pretty, funny, smart, design savvy and i would help with the clean up- albeit drunk on her famous homemade summer wine...she could afford to break some..
more fucking saucepans..
and here is her "craft station"..do you suppose she is up there late into the night making things? do you? i am going to say i really think she is.
this is her former main pad turkey hill. even the hanging baskets of babylon 80's kitchen is pretty awes.
but much better now...
her attic floors are better than most people's regular floors...or regular people's floors.
whatever big fucking aliums...you're no better than my bullshit pansies...
good lord...
her chickens have it better than most..
but turkey hill is no longer hers, it belongs to some other lucky m-F'er. i hope they maintained it's awesomeness.
and last but not least and my most favorite is the guest cottage at her maine house..if you want to see the main maine house go here. its good too.
i love that it is entirely pink.
i love and loathe the fact that with so many houses you can have one place that is just pure fantasy..
i know a lot of you have seen this all before. but you haven't seen it until you've seen it thru my eyes..
now, when i am finally invited to her house this is most likely where i will stay b/c i refuse to stay in a place called cameltoe corners.

Overalls in NYC? Martha gets away with all sorts of crap. That craft room though? That is awesome. I'd be up there at 5am using all those crazy perfectly appointed green draws filled with animal shaped hole punches and double-sided adhesive tape.

i wonder if Martha ever orders take out... or buys a gift bag on her way to a birthday party... or signs the card in the car...

I'm not going to lie, I absolutely love MS. Love her.
But if even one of the rooms in my house were organized like MS's, my husband would cart me off to the nut house. That's way too type-A for anyone's good.

she has a drawer just for scissors... what the what. awesome.
- January 29, 2010 at 5:34 PM
Of course she has a STAFF. You don't really think she does all that by herself?

she does have staff but i know she is crazy too and she most definitely does this shit herself.

She's definitely a force of freak nature, but that's part of her charm, I suppose.
I read an interview with her once, where she commented on how, in Japan, the finest chopsticks were also the thinnest. She of course, bought the thinnest set she could find - in sterling. Uh huh.

Anyone who has stainless appliance would know you have to be a cracked out freak to want an entire wall of it.
Or you just have many many many minions to polish that shit behind her every time she leaves a fingerprint.
and yes I'm hella jealous.
I promise to knock her down for y'all if I ever see her walking around in her overalls at the Chelsea Market or coming out of Momofuku.

I need my paxil now...
- January 29, 2010 at 8:24 PM
This might make you feel better about her obnoxious perfect-ness...
She lives now in the town I grew up in, and one day my mom saw her in the local grocery store buying produce.
My mom, who was born without the ability to whisper, called me from said grocery storing yelling into the phone "you're never gonna guess who's in the supermarket with me right now -- MARTHA -- she's buying PRODUCE -- what's wrong with her organic garden and GREENHOUSE FULL OF PRODUCE"
Martha has never again shown her face in the local food market, probably thanks to my mother's screams. But the point is, she still sometimes has to run to the store to buy some freakin carrots.

i love martha and her insane drive for perfection, but i'm not about to comment upon her overalls. she might come over and shiv my ass.

Fuck You Martha!!!! I hate you; you are so perfect. I want to take one of your perfectly folded napkins and ram it up your arse! But your house looks real nice. See you around.

I am speechless - and the same colour green - over those craft drawers. Heaven, I'm in typeA Heaven.... la la la

I'm soooooo happy that I'm not the only one who despises Martha. Your post cracks me up. Cameltoe Corners? Hmmmm...wonder what kind of decorative soaps they'd have there?

I'm so fuckin not jealous. Why would I want all that crap to look after. Gimme a nice comfy bed and a good book. And those green drawers-fuckin waste of space havin a drawer with three pairs of scissors in it.
Fuckin pink house.

MS is what she is, which happens to be a freak of nature with amazing organizational skills. But yeah, she pisses me off sometimes, too. And amazes me. And I'm more than a little impressed...
So, she mixes me all up - pissed off, impressed, and amazed is just too many ways to feel about the one person at the same time!
- January 30, 2010 at 12:22 AM
- Rachel said...
Yeah, she amazes me too! I know they clean, shine, and style things for photo shoots... but I want to know what her place looks like on a "normal" day. Are the pots as shiny and in perfect arrangement? Is everything picked up and put in it's place all the time??
I think it is.
Living in such an orderly house would totally make me happy - not going to lie. If I didn't have 5 dogs, a husband, or a full-time job (cuz I could probably pull it off with a part-time job), my place would look like that too. But I do have 5 dogs, a huz, and a full-time job... so my house doesn't look like that, and I cry a little sometimes....
Have a great weekend girlie!

Have a great weekend!

I fell in love with Martha all over again when she went to jail.
I mean, thousands of men do what she did every day, and it's all "wink wink, nudge nudge". I think she realized early on that she was gonna be the scapegoat. So she did the tidiest thing possible, got the shitty mess over with asap.
- January 30, 2010 at 3:54 AM
is there any way you can control the word verification quiz thing? how great would it be to make folks type in words like cameltoe or taint, sigh, someone needs to make that happen, enlarge my swear lexicon.

Any Manhattanite who sees Martha's kitchen is going to sob uncontrollably and be prone to violence. I have a friend who lived in a Manhattan studio for 2.5k a month. Her neighborhood didn't even have trees, and her kitchen was equipped with a hot plate. How can Manhattan mortals compete?

Well if we all had zillions of moola and a full time staff we'd all have parties and perfectly organized drawers too. But alas, we have better things to do...that doesn't mean I'm not jealous though. I want all of my scissors to have their own little box in a drawer, better yet I want more than one pair so that I can have a need for crap like that!

- FROM THE RIGHT BANK said...
She makes me want to damn it all to hell and just go back to bed. The only comforting fact is that she has to have a million servants to maintain this level of perfection. It's not humanly possible for her to do it all herself. At least that's what I like to tell myself.

Mental illness can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, race, or income. Each year, roughly one in four Americans will be affected by some form of mental illness. When treated, rates of recovery are high. However, fewer than half of those with diagnosable mental illnesses will seek treatment.
A diagnosis of mental illness goes beyond merely having an off-day or feeling sad or anxious from time to time. Mental illnesses represent a pattern of behavior and often cause major life disruptions. People affected have illnesses that are just as real as any medical illness; and just like medical illness, mental illness cannot be overcome through willpower alone.
Instead, people affected by mental illness need to be evaluated and treated by professionals. Many safe and effective treatments exist today, and rates of recovery are high with treatment.
Many myths surround mental illness. Here are four facts to keep in mind:
Fact: Mental illnesses are common.
Each year, roughly 57 million Americans will be affected by one or more mental illnesses. Of these:
Fact: Many people with mental illness recover and lead full lives.
More safe and effective treatments exist today than ever before. As a result, studies have shown that many people with mental illness recover to lead productive and active professional and social lives.
In fact, rates of successful treatment for mental illnesses are often as high as or even higher than for common medical conditions, such as heart disease. For example:
Fact: Mental illness is not a character weakness.
Mental illnesses are not a character weakness. They are the result of biological, psychological, and social factors. People with mental illness do not need to just pull themselves together . If they could do so easily, a formal diagnosis of a mental illness would be less likely.
Because mental illness will not go away through sheer willpower or by ignoring the problem, professional treatment is often needed to address the condition.
Fact: Children can have mental illness.
Some people believe that children do not suffer from mental illness. But in reality, children can be affected. In fact, in any given year, five to nine percent of children have a mental illness.
In addition, mental illness in adults often begins in childhood or adolescence. This is vital to remember because recognizing and treating mental health problems early leads to better outcomes.
If you are affected by a mental illness or think that you may be, it is important that you see a professional for evaluation and treatment. One good place to start is with your primary care physician. These doctors have training in diagnosing and treating common mental illnesses in their patients. If a condition is beyond their expertise, they can make a referral to someone with more training in mental health.
Remember that great hope exists for the recovery of those who are affected.

I'm working with the CallerIdentityLoginModule to passthrough the caller credentials to the database and having some difficulty when the database is hit on another thread.
The call sequence goes as follows:
If everything is handled on a single thread there is no issue. The CallerIdentityLoginModule performs as advertised and all is well. But we're running scheduled jobs through Quartz and these may fire at any time and must run as a specific user; so I need to get the above scenario functioning somehow.
I'm at a point now where I'm thinking I'll need to intercept the user's credentials, encrypt and store them in Derby (or somewhere), and then add the key to the credentials as part of the job. Then, when the job fires it can login to the application as part of the process and the underlying database connection will begin to work.
Is that the best way to accomplish this? Other ideas? opinions?
We'd rather not store user credentials in the application of course, but I'm not seeing another way to do what I'm trying to do at this point.

My DD is just over 8 months and at 6.5 months she was just 13 lbs 15 oz, which was 8% on the WHO charts. She started at 8 lbs 1 oz, but dropped to 7 lbs 1/2 oz after 3 days. Neither I or my DH are petite people, so it's a constant worry. DD eats every 1.5 to 2.5 hours during the day for maybe 5-10 mins both sides, gets snacks and a couple solid food meals and wake to eat 3-4 times every night to eat. It's impossible to go anywhere or do anything for more than an hour or 90 minutes - I am so exhausted.
I posted 2 months ago and everyone seemed to think that this was all normal and that since she is meeting or exceeding milestones, I should just not worry. But it's next to impossible to not worry all-the-time. I really wanted to go to 1 year bfing because I hate the thought giving her formula, but I don't think I can take much more of this horrible anxiety about her not growing enough or getting enough to eat. She is a happy baby, but I wonder if I would be a happier mama if I didn't have this horrible weight on my shoulders. I really thought once we started solids that she would be able to go a little longer between her feedings, maybe 2.5-3 hrs, just to get us a little more wiggle room to go out and do things, but it seems like she needs to eat sooner. Am I losing my supply? I know I'm losing my sanity, and that can't be good for her or me. Help!

We Didn't Get a Term Sheet, but It Was a Good Experience
Fund: Draper Fisher Jurvetson Gotham Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-08-15
We met with Thatcher Bell and had one of the vetter conversations about who we are and what we do that I've had since we started. Thorough and insightful, but not bullish. We got feedback one week later that we weren't a good fit because of a portfolio conflict. He also shared some thoughts in a follow-up email that I found useful. Nothing bad to say really.PRIVATE: Members Only

Blade length: 5.25 in.Total length: 10.00 in.Blade height (at heel): 1.25 in.Blade thickness (near bolster): 0.08 in.Item weight: 3.68 oz.Shipment weight: 5.2 oz.Blade: San Mai Damascus R2 powdered metallurgical (PM) stainless steel blade, Rc 62Bolster: Solid nickel silverHandle: Desert ironwood with brass and copper mosaic pins set on a full tang
Description: As you may guess, fruit knives are utility knives that are perfect for slicing fruit and other detail tasks. The thin blade is slightly longer than the petty knife, with most fruit knives ranging from 5 - 6 inches.
This handmade utility knife by Kazuyuki Tanaka is among the finest cutlery ever made -- combining R2 powdered metallurgical (PM) steel with Tanaka's craftsmanship clearly makes his handmade knives one of our shop favorites.
Tanaka starts with ultra-modern, limited production, R2 PM stainless steel and forges this between layers of soft, supportive Damascus. The resulting edge is tempered to Rc 62 (very hard!) for exceptional edge holding, but is easy to sharpen.
A nickel silver bolster separates the blade from the desert ironwood handle. The handle is nicely carved for a very comfortable and secure grip. Mosaic pins complete the presentation. The blade is fully honed and extremely sharp.

Transcript of Video:
Boston is where Hearts On Fire is based and where I moved over four years ago. I thought the city was really interesting, very beautiful. I started walking around and I saw these amazing iron terraces that had circles and also hearts. I immediately started adding diamonds to it and created pendants, rings, so the whole collection then evolved.
I played a lot with different types of setting and add some movement to pendant because when you move the piece of jewelry moves with you therefore when the diamond touches the light, in the case of Hearts On Fire, you have the full color of the rainbow.
The circle pendant is really like one of the motifs that I saw on the terraces and I just basically added diamonds, played with different settings, with movement.
We gave the collection the name Copley because it's a famous square in Boston. We are the only big brand, like actually jewelry brand, in Boston. And I felt like it's kind of a tribute to the city. It's such a beautiful city.

The awards ceremony today was a five-part affair, there were prizes for today's slopestyle, for the junior jam, for the US Open overall winner, for the Open Tour Title, and for the Men's TTR World Tour chamion. We've got a lot of ground to cover, let's get started.
The weather during the Slopestyle finals here at Stratton kept on its weird streak. Just as the finals were getting under way, a mini Nor' Easter blew in ... and out in the course of fifteen minutes leaving a sticky topcoat in its place. Riders struggled with the slow conditions for the first round, but most got the course dialed by the second round. The course consisted of a down rail and an up rail followed by four jumps--a straightforward course.
The Women's Field Narrowed Down
Yesterday Jamie injured herself on the slopestyle course, she caught her toeside edge and cased on her stomach, which caused internal bleeding and a ruptured spleen. "It really sucks, but everything happens for a reason," she said, "I'm really glad I was wearing a helmet and that it wasn't more serious. I mean, my spleen is going to heal itself." Right now, the diagnosis is that Jamie has to take six months off. She says she plans to use some of that Open series prize money to rent a place in Hawaii this summer and recover.
Jamie's not the only one in the hospital today, Janna Meyen, today's first place Slopestyle qualifier had a run in with one of the rails that ended with a super painful hip bruiser. No word exactly on what happened to her hip, but it sounded like a hematoma.
With Jamie and Janna out of the running, the podium opened up for the women.
Kjersti Takes It … All
Kjersti continued handling business today, she put together a boardslide on the downrail to a 50-50 180 out on the up rail. She linked up her best slope run ever with a Cab 5 mute, a backside three Indy, frontside 3 stalefish, to a frontside 7 mute. That front 7 is what bumped her from second into first in the final round ahead of Jenny Jones who put together an impressive run of her own with a Cab 5, a pair of 360s and a straight air, and a front 5 on the last hit. Jenny was happy enough with her run, but said she was just basically trying to get down the course after that storm moved through--she said, "it wasn't pretty, I can do that run with a lot more style, but it worked." And finally, Chanelle Sladics' boardslide 270 out on the downrail was good enough to earn her the trick of the day and a year's supply of Emergen C, which Preston Strout pointed out might come in handy tomorrow after all the girls chugged their celebration champagne on the podium. With her wins this weekend on the quarterpipe, fourth in the pipe, and today's slopestyle, Kjersti was also crowned the US Open overall champ and given the keys to a new Volvo--her second Volvo this winter (she won the first at the European Open in January). Stay tuned as the women's TTR World Champion will be announced next week at the Roxy Chicken Jam at Mammoth.
Don't Eff With Chas
The men's slope podium was stacked with East Coasters. New Hampshire's Chas Guldemond took first and kept it through all three rounds of finals. He went frontboard 270 out on the downrail to 50-50 backside 180 out on the uprail. Followed by this combo on the 4-set of jumps: switch backside 900, backside 1260, Cab 900, to backside Rodeo, with absolutely no sketching on the landings. Chas is headed back to Tahoe with plans to buy a new dirtbike and save the rest of that money for his future family. Quebec-native Sebastian Toutant imported his hometown cheering section, so he had no choice but to podium. He stomped into second place with a solid run including a 180 on to 180 out on the downrail to a front board 270 out on the up rail, he followed that with a back Rodeo, a Cab 900, a front 7, to a sick backside 1080. The 1080 has some cork to it--it's off axis, basically, it has its own personal Touts flair and as such when he does it, he calls it a "Toutsie Roll". FYI.
New Hampshire's Scotty Lago hammered home a run good enough for third, which along with his first place quarterpipe victory, was plenty to get this weekend's US Open champion and the keys to a new Volvo. Hot damn! You know the party's going to keep going through the week. Lago stomped a backside lipslide, to a boardslide 270 out, to a back 7, front 9, switch backside 9, to a backside rodeo 7.
While Peetu Piiroinen didn't make the podium, he won trick of the day with his backside Rodeo seven. His seventeen-year-old brother Petja placed a respectable tenth.
Junior Jam--a peek into the future
And finally, smack in the middle of the day today was the Junior Jam finals, which took place in the same pipe as the pro comp did, except the riders were all under the age of 13. Another Hampshire bro, Tanner Barrett took the podium coming out of a field of 83 boys. Arielle Gold took the title for the girls.

The Open is a real family affair for the East Coasters, the Vitos, the Toutants, the Pospisils--everyone's parents and brothers and sisters were in the crowd cheering and out at night celebrating. It was Louie Vito's birthday and Tricia Byrnes 20th Open, and maybe it was the great weather (for the most part) or just the East Coast victories, but like Luke Mitrani said, "with all my friends and family here--it's more like a holiday." Cheers to Burton for a great event.

Robert-Victor-Félix Delaunay was born in Paris on April 12, 1885. In 1902, after secondary education, he apprenticed in a studio for theater sets in Belleville. In 1903 he started painting and by 1904 was exhibiting, that year and in 1906 at the Salon d'Automne and from 1904 until World War I at the Salon des Indépendants. Between 1905 and 1907 Delaunay became friendly with Henri Rousseau and Jean Metzinger and studied the color theories of M E Chevreul; he was then painting in Neo-Impressionist manner. Paul Cézanne's work also influenced Delaunay around this time. From 1907-08 he served in the military in Laon and upon returning to Paris he had contact with the Cubists. The period 1909-10 saw the emergence of Delaunay's personal style: he painted his first Eiffel Tower in 1909. In 1910 Delaunay married the painter Sonia Terk, who became his collaborator on many projects. Delaunay's participation in exhibitions in Germany and association with advanced artists working there began in 1911, the year Vasily Kandinsky invited him to participate in the first Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) exhibition in Munich. At this time he became friendly with Guillaume Apollinaire, Albert Gleizes, and Hen ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

How to Apply
Your student is ready to apply...but when and how?
Planning for college can be an exciting and hectic time. Virginia Wesleyan is on rolling admissions which means we review applications throughout the year. However, students are strongly encouraged to apply between August and December of their senior year in high school.
We evaluate each application individually and use criteria based off successful students in years past. Notification of acceptance usually occurs within two weeks of receipt of the completed application.
Applications can be obtained by calling the Office of Admissions 757.455.3208 or online. High school guidance offices may also have a copy of our application.

The TLV34xx devices are single and dual CMOS operational amplifiers, respectively, with
low-voltage, low-power, and rail-to-rail output swing capabilities. The PMOS input stage offers an
ultra-low input bias current of 1 pA (typical) and an offset voltage of
0.3 mV (typical). For applications requiring excellent dc precision, the A grade (TLV34xA)
has a low offset voltage of 1.25 mV (maximum) at 25°C.
These single-supply amplifiers are designed specifically for ultra-low-voltage (1.5 V to
5 V) operation, with a common-mode input voltage range that typically extends from 0.2 V to 0.5 V
from the positive supply rail.
The TLV341 (single) and TLV342 (dual) in the RUG package also offer a shutdown (SHDN) pin
that can be used to disable the device. In shutdown mode, the supply current is reduced to 45 pA
(typical). Offered in both the SOT-23 and smaller SC70 packages, the TLV341 is suitable for the
most space-constrained applications. The dual TLV342 is offered in the standard SOIC, VSSOP, and
X2QFN packages.
An extended industrial temperature range from 40°C to 125°C makes the TLV34xx suitable
in a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications.
