Q: How to determine transistor specification range for voltage and current (in relation to design requirements) Attached is my current circuit for using a 5V logic output device to control 24V  going to a load with max current draw of 14mA.  (Ignore the name for transistor Q1, that is just a random NPN BJT).

The max current draw of the logic source is 300mA (a Velocio e-1450 PLC).
I am new to transistor design and selection, and I would like to know what you consider when choosing a transistor - what range of values do you allow for a given circuit?  Should the base voltage be exactly what you expect it to be? (5V rating for 5V logic control, etc.)
Also, are the resistor values relatively ok for the desired output?  For R1, I took (24V - 0.3V) / 14mA ~= 1.69 kOhm.
Thanks for your input.
EDIT
To sum it all up, is this the right design to use 5V logic to power a solenoid (J1) with 24V?  Forgetting the resistors and transistor values.
1)  The 5V logic output (V1) from the Velocio e-1450 can provide up to 300mA
2)  The solenoid (J1) draws max 14mA.

A: You want something like this (note, it could be done with FETs -- but I like BJTs).
You need to supply current to the load, and you want to do that through a transistor.  I'm assuming you want the load to be grounded (you can do this with one transistor if not).
Because you are driving your load from a voltage higher than your processor's VCC, you need voltage amplification.  That requires a transistor stage (Q1).  In addition to assuming that you want the load to be grounded that you don't want to consume great gobs of current when the load is off.  That requires an additional stage that will conduct no current when the load's voltage is 0 (as opposed to a circuit with your topology, which basically requires that the load be shorted).  This assumed requirement is satisfied by Q2, which only conducts when the load is on.
Going backwards from the load:

*

*The load draws 14mA.  A 2N3906 is good for 60V and 100mA, so it's more than adequate for switching 24V and 14mA.

*To Q2 in saturation, you need to pull about 1/10th the collector current from the base (you can use less if you use a "super beta" transistor, but why?).

*In saturation, Q2's base-emitter voltage will be about 0.7V.

*

*R3 pulls about 1.55mA from the node at the base of Q2

*R4 pushes about 0.15mA into it.  The sum is 1.4mA -- good!

*R4 is there to make sure that Q2 turns off positively when Q1 goes off.

*Q1 needs to pull 1.55mA.  So it needs a base current of 0.155mA (it's the same 1/10th rule).

*

*R1 supplies 0.43mA to the node at the base of Q1

*R2 sucks 0.07mA from that node.  That leaves 0.38mA for the base of Q1 -- that's plenty.

*R2 is there for the same reason as R4 -- to make sure the transistor turns of promptly.

And that's it, pretty much.  If this were for production, I'd suggest you use pre-biased transistors (basically what you see here, but with the resistors built in).  If it's a one-off, just grab resistors and transistors from your junk drawer.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma unemployment rate was unchanged in August at 5.3 percent.
The figures released Friday by the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission show that while the number of Oklahomans with a job decreased by a seasonally adjusted 3,740, the number seeking a job fell by 3,690.
The figures show the state's labor force numbered 1.8 million in August with 95,710 unemployed.
The leisure and hospitality industry showed the largest monthly job gain with 1,300 jobs added during August while government added 700 jobs; the trade, transportation and utilities industry added 500 jobs; and the financial industries sector added 400.


Olympia Hills Family Dental Aims to Keep Your Family Smiling.
Part of keeping your smile fresh, clean and healthy involves maintaining your dental hygiene by properly flossing and brushing your teeth, and attending regular visits to our office every six months for a dental cleaning and dental examination. Both Dr. Hafen and Dr. Gonzalez agree that most of the unhealthy smiles that come through their doors were the result of poor dental hygiene and care. Let us help you keep smiling with these handy dental health tips!
One of the things that our patients tend to forget to do most when it comes to taking care of their smile is flossing. Flossing is a relatively simple way to clean between your teeth so that your gums don't get filled with nasty bacteria from food and drinks and cause long-term problems like gum disease or tooth root decay.
Gently wrap the floss around the base of each tooth on each side of the gum and pull the floss up.
There are many, many different ways that people go about brushing their teeth, and many different toothbrushes and tools available to do it. Dr. Hafen and Dr. Gonzalez suggest using an electric toothbrush, as they tend to have rotating bristle heads that clean the teeth more thoroughly than non-electric toothbrushes. If you are concerned about the type of brush that you are using and its effect on your smile, please consult with Dr. Hafen, Dr. Gonzalez or one of our dental hygienists.
Then, place the brush against the biting surface and use a gentle back and forth motion so that the bristles can reach beneath each area on the surface.
End by brushing your tongue to remove odor-producing bacteria.
Our goal is to make you and your family happy, healthy, and comfortable. You know we can get the job done right. Olympia Hills Family Dental has been keeping families smiling since 1971.
If you live in the greater Universal City, Schertz, Live Oak, Converse or New Braunfels area and are looking for a highly qualified family dentistry team, schedule an appointment with us online or call us at: 210-658-3131.

Diabetes mellitus is a major negative determinant of coronary plaque regression during statin therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome - Serial Intravascular Ultrasound Observations From the Japan Assessment of Pitavastatin and Atorvastatin in Acute Coronary Syndrome Trial (the JAPAN-ACS Trial)
Takafumi Hiro, Takeshi Kimura, Takeshi Morimoto, Katsumi Miyauchi, Yoshihisa Nakagawa, Masakazu Yamagishi, Yukio Ozaki, Kazuo Kimura, Satoshi Saito, Tetsu Yamaguchi, Hiroyuki Daida, Masunori Matsuzaki
Background: The Japan Assessment of Pitavastatin and Atorvastatin in Acute Coronary Syndrome (JAPAN-ACS) trial has found that early aggressive statin therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) significantly reduces the plaque volume (PV) of non-culprit coronary lesions. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinical factors that have an impact on plaque regression using statin therapy. Methods and Results: Serial intravascular ultrasound observations over 8-12 months were performed in 252 ACS patients receiving pitavastatin or atorvastatin. Linear regression analysis identified the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and PV at baseline as inhibiting factors, and serum remnant-like particle-cholesterol level at baseline as a significant factor significantly affecting the degree of plaque regression. Significant correlation between % change of PV and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level was found in patients with DM (n=73, P<0.05, r=0.4), whereas there was no significant correlation between the 2 parameters in patients without DM (n=178). Conclusions: The regression of coronary plaque induced by statin therapy after ACS was weaker in diabetic patients than their counterparts. Moreover, vigorous reduction of the LDL-C levels might induce a greater degree of plaque regression in ACS patients with DM.

Fire Burns Food Company in Huntington Park
The fire started at about 5:30 a.m. in the 6700 block of Alameda Street
By Jonathan Lloyd	• Published at 6:09 am on May 9, 2011
Fire crews battled a blaze early Monday at a commercial building in Huntington Park.
The fire was at a building in the 6700 block of Alameda Street. Smoke was visible from the 110 Freeway during the morning commute.
The fire started at about 5:30 a.m. Alameda Street is closed between Florence Avenue and Gage Avenue. At about 11 a.m., fire officials said flames in the building still prevented firefighters from entering the structure.
"We've tripled the original amount of resources since the fire began," said Capt. Mark Savage. "It just wasn't safe to have our firefighters charge in. Our priority, obviously, is firefighter safety. We need to become aware of what hazards might be involved with this facility."
Savage said his crews talked with people who are familiar with what might be inside the building before firefighters were allowed to enter the structure.
The building houses a food processing plant called Windsor Foods. Fire officials said one of the combustible elements in the fire was soy bean oil.
"Anytime a fire burns through the roof, it's extremely dangerous for firefighters" because of the threat of collapse, said Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Don Kunitomi
About 150 firefighters were at the location, said county fire Inspector Matt Levesque.

Celeb Stylists Reveal Their Favorite Looks for Summer
The beauty of style is that everyone is free to have their own. But when it comes to what's trending, most of us are happy to leave it up to the pros to guide us to our own versions of hip and chic. To get a preview of which styles will take over summer 2017, we reached out to some of the top stylists in the country for their expert insight. Here are some on-trend styles to update your wardrobe with this summer.
1. The shirt-dress
A shirt and a dress? We'll take it. | iStock.com/g-stockstudio
We love the shirt-dress, whether it has long or short sleeves, because it's the perfect mix of casual and chic. You can wear it to work, brunch, or even as a clever cover-up when you're sitting by the pool or at the beach. "This casual trend that saw popularity during the Dior postwar 'New Look' era in the late '50s is making it's comeback," Toni Ferrara, celebrity stylist who's dressed Kim Kardashian, Matthew McConaughey, and Kate Beckinsale, said in an interview with The Cheat Sheet. "It's a little bit tomboyish and a little bit structured sophistication."
2. Off the shoulder
Go ahead — show off your shoulders. | iStock.com/brickrena
"Tops and dresses continue to dare to bare — shoulders that is!" said Ferrara. We saw a glimpse of this trend in 2016, but it's definitely taking charge again — and, to be fair, it's also a throwback to some looks we saw in the '80s. "We've seen already many dresses and tops from award season this winter and spring featuring off the shoulder, and can continue to expect it to heat up this summer with many different new styles," Sean Panella, wardrobe stylist to the stars, told us.
3. Printed, high-waist shorts

Printed shorts will surprise the fashion jaded in summer 2017. "Depending on your mood, treat this like a neutral and wear graphic tees and your boyfriend's varsity jacket to complete the look," Sam Russell, head of The Wardrobe Department and founder of Giving Closet, told The Cheat Sheet. "Accessories can be a bold vintage brooch or delicate jewelry with a message or heart." It's all up to you.
Also, don't settle for the familiar. "Alexander McQueen featured waist-cinchers on the runway, so that's our signal to know things are going to get wild for this trend, forecasting the masses are all out on this one ready to bring it to life this season," Panella added. Invest in a detailed waist-cincher and pair it with your favorite dress this summer.
4. Overalls
Overalls can look amazing, as long as you know how to style them. | iStock.com/Nikkolia
Overalls have been reworked and refined in an exciting way that actually looks good and fashion forward. "Gone are the days of overalls being viewed as a denim monstrosity men wore to hold their snuff and the keys to a tractor, or the baggy Tommy Hilfiger variation seen in so many 1990's hip hop music videos," Mickey Freeman, celebrity fashion stylist, said.
Accessories are important for this look, so don't forget your bucket hat! "To add a bit of panache to your polo and trousers, bucket hats are giving men of all ages and walks of life shade, while keeping them 'cool,'" Freeman said. "The bucket hat is once again getting its time to shine."
5. Gender-neutral garments
Not every garment has to be overtly masculine or feminine. | iStock.com/Lunamarina
As the world further embraces individuality, more and more men will continue experimenting with out-of-the-box looks. This look, known as 'Generation Y,' includes a lot of architecturally inspired, gender-neutral pieces, ranging from outlandish biomorphic shapes to quite reserved pieces. "It's a look that takes classic menswear to new extremes with unconventional cuts and gender-bending silhouettes," Freeman said. "An irreverent luxury that makes deconstruction look, well, refined."
Recently, the often one-dimensional fitted trouser has become synonymous with chic. "The current resurgence of baggy trousers demonstrates that good tailoring ultimately determines what looks good, while bringing variety in an array of shapes and proportions for the masculine silhouette," Freeman explained.
6. Men in kilts
It is not taboo for a man to wear a kilt. | iStock.com
There are a number of prominent celebrities, athletes, and role models who've been spotted wearing a kilt. By choosing to wear them, they not only help expand the definition of menswear, but they inadvertently redefine masculinity. "The kilt is no longer a trend, it's a fresh silhouette for men," Freeman said. "A man wearing a skirt isn't exactly a new concept in the world of fashion, however, society seems to have a distorted yet singular view of what a black man is and should be, when we're as assorted as any other race."
How to pull it off? Kilts are the essential add-on to any trouser or can be a bold statement piece for the brave soul who chooses to go pant-less. The look can be dressed up or dressed down, meaning a T-shirt or dress shirt can change the look from day to night.
7. Leather dresses
The only time this look won't work is when it's insanely hot outside. | iStock.com/grinvalds
Leather dresses for summer don't make much sense on paper, but looking at the current state of political affairs, they make a bit more sense. "This style embodies looking defiant and feminine," Ali Levine, celebrity stylist, fashion expert, and TV personality, said in an interview with The Cheat Sheet. "Celebrities, such as Lady Gaga, really inspire and embody this trend with their outgoing style. And, of course, Alexander McQueen loves this trend with [the label's] flamboyant outlook on fashion."
Choosing the right accessories for a look like this can make or break it. "The accessories can go tough or soft — spiked envelope clutch is an ideal fit," Russell said. "Leather dresses don't take much to finish, so a simple scarf and driving shoes are really all you need to complete this look." Have fun and feel free to break away from darker leathers that are more popular. Do, however, avoid wearing one on record-breaking heat wave days.
8. Flatforms

The person in colorful and quirky platforms typically gets all the attention, but the "flatforms" got jealous and came for revenge this season. "Embellished, adorned and colorful, eclectic flats came along hard and heavy for summer 2017," Russell said. "Capris, dark denim jeans, and pleated shorts help take this look from magazine to office party to third date." But remember, these are not your mom's flats — these are younger in spirit and may remind you of your offbeat aunt who always traveled with a young, male companion.
9. The bralette
Bra-like tops are a favorite among celebs. | iStock.com/SomeMeans
There's no denying the sexy, lacy bra you can see through your clothes has planted its flag on style and is here to stay. "Fashion trendsetters, such as Kendall Jenner, have been frequently seen sporting the unrestrained style, while designers, such as Alexander Wang and Tory Burch, have sent out major amounts of bra tops on the runway during fashion week," said Levine.
The perfect way to rock the bralette in real life? Pair it with an evening skirt, silky suit pants or cropped pants, and a blazer. Great color schemes that work for this are all black with a pop of color in the bralette. For, example, you could go with a black blazer and black pant with a brightly colored or printed bralette underneath. "There are so many fun different color schemes you can use to play this look up and down, and take it from day to night," Levine explained.
10. Neon
You can't go wrong when you opt for something bold and bright. | iStock.com/NeonShot
This might be a tricky look to pull off, but our experts say that when neon is done right, it's a look for the books. "Tokyo Fashion week was electrified with the fluorescent, high-wattage trend," Levine said. "Designers, such as 5-Knot and Akiko Aoki, were all about the high-brights look this year."
There are definitely different ways to pair this striking trend if you have no desire to go full Glow Goddess. Pair your vibrant colored shirt with a more toned down color pant and some nude shoes or a simple color outfit with booming bright shoes with accessories to match.
11. Floral
Florals are here to stay. | iStock.com/lolostock
Floral is a timeless, feminine style that can go from cute and casual to very high fashion. It's that perfect style transition to get you in the summertime mood, and is appropriate for everything from a daytime garden party to an evening cocktail hour. "Chloè, Balenciaga, and Tory Burch all charmed the runway with the ever so beautiful floral this year," Levine said. "My favorite way to wear this trend is with a high neck-collared, full-length maxi dress covered in a soft floral print."
12. Cut-outs
Cut-outs show just enough skin. | iStock.comMoustacheGirl
While it's clear that skin is in, the let-it all-hang-out look is for the birds. The current trend aims for the perfect marriage between class and sex appeal, which is great for summer. "Some brands that are doing it really well, and unexpected cut outs, and not basic are House of CB, Balmain, Halston, For Love and Lemons," Levine explained. "There's a certain edge and high fashion approach when this is done right."
An easy starting point? Find a cocktail dress that has cut outs on the sides or in the back. Dress it up with some accessories and go to town!

Moore's Law codified the pace of modern life
Dean Takahashi@deantak	 April 20, 2015 7:29 AM
Gordon Moore, chairman emeritus of Intel
Image Credit: Intel
If you feel like everybody is in a rush in Silicon Valley and in the modern world of technology, you can thank Gordon Moore, the chairman emeritus of Intel. Fifty years ago, he made a prescient observation that electronics would improve on a regular timetable. It came to be known as Moore's Law, and it still holds true today.
Moore predicted 50 years ago, in the April 19, 1965 issue of Electronics magazine that the number of transistors, or on-off switches on a chip, would double every year. In 1975, he tweaked the prediction to doubling every two years. And that prediction has proven remarkably accurate.
Because the silicon chip is the foundation of everything electronic, improving a chip's capability — to be smaller, faster, cheaper, and more powerful — always meant that next year's model of computers would be roughly twice as powerful as last year's.
But Moore's Law isn't foreordained. It is carried out only through the ingenuity of humans, the collective intelligence of the people in the $300 billion chip industry, and the larger $1 trillion electronics industry that makes use of those chips and finds more and more uses for them.
For those that kept up with Moore's Law, the riches followed. Intel, which Moore cofounded in 1968, is now valued at $153 billion in the stock market.
"No single thing has had an effect of such great magnitude in so short a time as Moore's Law," wrote Dan Hutcheson, a longtime semiconductor analyst and head of market researcher Wesrch. "It's played a significant role in advancing most of mankind's endeavors, while improving our lives, over the last fifty years. It's also critical to the semiconductor industry's business model."
Above: The magazine Moore's Law appeared in.
In Moore's own words
In an interview provided by Intel and the Chemical Heritage Foundation, Moore said earlier this year that Electronics magazine wanted him to look 10 years into the future.
"So I took the opportunity to look at what had happened up to that time," Moore said in the interview. "This would have been in 1964, I guess. And I looked at the few chips we had made and noticed we went from a single transistor on a chip to a chip with about eight elements – transistors and resistors – on it."
He added, "The new chips coming out had about twice the number of elements, about 16. And in the laboratory, we were creating chips with about 30 elements and we were looking at the possibility of making chips with twice that many, around 60 elements on a chip. Well, I plotted these on a piece of semi-log paper starting with the planar transistor in 1959 and noticed that, essentially, we were doubling every year. So I took a wild extrapolation and said we're going to continue doubling every year and go from about 60 elements at the time to 60,000 in 10 years."
In 1971, Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004, had just 2,300 transistors. Now Intel's fastest Xeon chip and Nvidia's newest Titan X graphics processor have more than 8 billion transistors. The new ones can do far more than the original calculator chip.
While the observation now seems obvious, it wasn't at the time, since chips were not moving forward at the pace that Moore described. He made the prediction three years before he cofounded Intel, which helped Moore's Law become true and became the world's largest chip maker. Intel factories produce over 10 billion transistors every second today.
"I was just trying to communicate the point that this was the direction semiconductors were going," Moore said. "And this was going to give a tremendous cost advantage, which wasn't true at the time. The early integrated circuits cost quite a bit more than the pieces to assemble the similar circuits out of individual components."
He essentially wanted to say that the silicon technology was going to make electronics cheap. He didn't anticipate it continuing for a thousand-fold increase in complexity.
"I just thought it was a general trend we were going to have. But in fact, it was far more accurate than I could have anticipated," he said. "And at the end of the 10 years, if we didn't have 10 doublings of the number of elements on a chip, we at least had nine. So one of my colleagues – I believe it was Carver Mead, a professor at Cal Tech – dubbed this 'Moore's Law,' a name that has stuck beyond anything that I think could have been anticipated."

The impact of Moore's Law
For Silicon Valley, Moore's Law came to be interpreted as a pace of innovation that chip makers had to stay on in order to stay technologically relevant. For product creators, it was something they had to take into account when designing their products.
"So it went from a way of measuring what had happened to something that was kind of driving the industry. You had to be at least that fast, or you were falling behind," Moore said.
Moore said he updated the observation in 1975, and then just let it be. He didn't think it would last so long.

The consequences of being right
Intel and Moore have had a lot of fun talking about the exponential increases that Moore's Law has made possible in technology. They note that if car fuel efficiency improved at the same rate, then a person could easily drive a car for his or her entire life on a single tank of gas. And at the pace at which transistors have shrunk, your car would be the size of an ant.
And if a skyscraper fell in price at the pace of Moore's Law, a person could buy one for less than the cost of a PC today. If house prices fell at the same rate as transistors, a person could buy a home for the price of a piece of candy. And if the Apollo space program saw costs fall at the pace of Moore's Law, could put humans on the moon for the cost of a small private plane.
Many of the devices around us today are powered by microprocessors made up of transistors. As these devices have dramatically decreased in cost and increased in performance and energy efficiency, thanks to Moore's Law, they have become an indispensable.
If an Intel-based Android phone were built using 1971 technology, the phone's microprocessor alone would be the size of a parking space. Today's 14-nanometer processors deliver 3,500 times the performance of the original 4004, and they do so at 90,000 times the efficiency and at 1/ 60,000th the cost.
"It's not obvious to me when it is going to end," Moore said.
A lot of pundits have tried to predict when Moore's Law would end. And technologists who warn that it's about to end are often viewed with suspicion, even though the laws of physics say that they will eventually be right. Some believe silicon will run out of steam, and something else, like gallium nitride, will progress faster and create a new law with new materials.
Richard Doherty, a seasoned chip analyst at Envisioneering Group, thinks it's about time some of the non-silicon technologies had their turn.
"The convenience and reliability of Moore's Law has perhaps stalled or delayed many other technologies which might leapfrog the Moore's Law value proposition," he wrote. "Photonics, Carbon nanotubes, quantum computing and neural-cognitive logic will soon take off. And while they will certainly interoperate with silicon for many years, many of these may well see a quantum leap in performance, energy savings, fabrication costs, and combinations of the three."
"I'm amazed at how accurate my application predictions turned out to be. In terms of an innovation that I didn't foresee, I guess the one that really took me by surprise is the importance of the Internet. We knew computers did useful things. We knew they would improve at some rate once we got started. But I never realized how important they were going to be as a communications medium, driven principally by the Internet. I can't think of another innovation that's comparable."
Moore still wants to inspire entrepreneurs and Intel employees to think about the long term. And he also wants to make sure that technology education is good enough to turn out the engineers we need to keep it all going.
"The good ideas often come from the young engineers and that's going to continue to be the case," he said. "They're the ones often willing to make the real leaps that result in qualitatively different products and processes. Those of us who have been around too long think we've seen everything. And we kind of lose our creativity. So I believe that the universities are a very important part of the long-term success of technology. And similarly, companies like Intel are a very important part of the universities' continued success."
As for the popularity of Moore's Law, Moore said, "It's amazing how often I run across a reference to Moore's Law. In fact, I Googled 'Moore's Law' and I Googled 'Murphy's Law' and 'Moore' beats 'Murphy by at least two to one."


The city of Kingston can be found in Ulster County, and it is roughly 90 miles north of the biggest city in the entire United States, New York City. The closest large metropolitan area to Kingston is actually Albany, which can be found 59 miles to the north of the city. Kingston was actually New York's first capital city back in 1777, but it was burned down by the British during the Battles of Saratoga in 1777. In the 1800s, the city would later become a main transport hub in the New York area because of its close proximity to both New York City and Albany.
If you'd like to enjoy a day in Kingston, then you'll want to look at the Hudson River Cruises before anything else. These cruises will allow you to enjoy the entire day on the Hudson River, and the best part of this cruise may be that the boat is named the M/V Rip Van Winkle. The cruises are completely narrated, which means you will get the full story behind the lighthouses and other attractions that you pass on your way down the Hudson. Speaking of lighthouses, the Rondout Lighthouse is the best one to visit if you are a fan of these kinds of structures.
Although you won't need car insurance while you are on the Hudson River, you'll still need to be insured if you want to drive down to the river. While you're on newyorkmotorinsurance.com, you can find the best quotes on auto insurance in the Kingston area. The best way to get the best deal on car insurance in New York is to use this website to get offers from multiple car insurance companies in the local area.

When a Lawyer's Conflict Can Be Fatal
"A deeply troubling truth about the death penalty is that it is often handed down not to people who commit the worst crimes, but on those assigned the worst lawyer to represent them." – Steve Bright, Former President of the Southern Center for Human Rights
Southern Center for Human Rights client Nicholas (Nick) Acklin's case is now up for review at the United States Supreme Court. His story serves as a clear and tragic reminder that bad or conflicted lawyering can be potentially fatal.
Nicholas Acklin.
Days after Nick was arrested, in September of 1996, his mother Velma Acklin Evans contacted a Huntsville, Alabama attorney named Behrouz Rahmati. Rahmati agreed to represent Nick, and Velma agreed to a $25,000 retainer and a fee of $150 per hour. When it became clear that she would not be able to afford the costs, Rahmati contacted Nick's father, Theodis Acklin, for help. Theodis became the attorney's primary source of funds.
Just two days before Nick went to trial, Velma met with Rahmati alone. She shared with him that Theodis had routinely abused her and their children; they endured frequent beatings, emotional abuse, and threats at gunpoint. In one such incident, she fell out of a second-story window while fighting with Theodis over a rifle.
Years later, all of this abuse was corroborated. Nick's brother testified that his father would come into a room when the siblings were all together, strike them with a belt, and "have the gun in hand and tell us he will kill all of us and kill himself." This abuse was confirmed by the Alabama Department of Human Resources, which had investigated an incident in which Theodis had admitted to pulling a gun on his sons and stating, "I brought you into the world and I can take you out."
Nick Acklin as a child.
Rahmati was aware of how powerfully persuasive mitigating evidence can be to both juries and judges. He was aware that the evidence of Theodis's abuse could mean the difference between life and death for his client. But when Rahmati asked Theodis if he would be willing to testify in court about this abuse, Theodis angrily refused. "You tell Nick if he wants to go down this road, I'm done with him" and "done with helping with this case," he told Rahmati.
Because Theodis was the only person paying him, Rahmati acquiesced. He did not investigate the matter any further. He did not ask the court for a continuance. And, crucially, he did not inform the court or his client about the conflict. What he did do, within just 36 hours of learning about the abuse, was to sit Nick down and have him sign a document stating that he did not want the evidence of abuse presented at trial.
This meant that instead of hearing this crucial mitigating evidence, Nick's jury heard falsehoods. At the penalty phase, Theodis was put on the stand. He testified — falsely — to the jury that Nick was raised in a loving and safe home. He told the jury that his son sang in the church choir. He talked about taking his son to the dentist and parent-teacher conferences. If anything, he testified, he was "overprotective" of Nick. Two weeks later, at a judicial sentencing proceeding before the judge, Theodis again testified falsely, telling the judge that Nick was "raised in a Christian home" with "good values" but "somehow slipped."
The jury voted 10-2 for death – the minimum number of votes required for a death recommendation under Alabama law.
When the judge imposed a death sentence on Nick, he expressly relied on Theodis's testimony, specifying that Nick had not experienced physical abuse (which he had) and that he was not the product of a dysfunctional household (which he was). "Most killers are typically the products of poverty, a dysfunctional family, physical or sexual abuse and/or social deprivation," the Court wrote. "Acklin was the product of a loving middle-class family."
As Andrew Cohen writes for The Marshall Project, "Acklin, like all criminal defendants, had a constitutional right to an attorney who does not have an 'actual conflict of interest.' And there is plenty of legal precedent, as well as state and national bar association ethical rules, that reasonably label what happened between the lawyer and the client here as an 'actual conflict.'"
In an amicus brief in support of Nick, legal ethicists say that the situation "created a textbook division of loyalties" for Rahmati. They urge the Supreme Court to accept Nick's petition, because "[u]nder ethics norms and rules of professional responsibility applicable across every jurisdiction, Nicholas Acklin's trial attorney labored under an acute and obvious conflict of interest that resulted in a denial of Acklin's Sixth Amendment rights."
What is clear is that Nick Acklin was convicted and sentenced to death based on a foundational misunderstanding of the facts on the part of both the jury and the judge. At every turn, his attorney sought to serve his own financial self-interest instead of the needs of his client. Nick, like every defendant, has a constitutional right to representation from a lawyer whose judgment is objective, and not tainted by the demands of anyone else. This critically important constitutional principle applies with even greater force in a case where a death sentence is possible.
Southern Center for Human Rights represents Nick Acklin, along with co-counsel Don Verrilli and Dahlia Mignouna.

Written by: Danielle Shemaiah
So, what happens in this episode?
Dr. Esther Roberts's trial has arrived.
The episode opens with Dr. Roberts and Bridget Chambers discussing how they expect the proceeding will go. As the two talk, Dr. Roberts becomes defensive and then frustrated with Chambers–but Chambers understands she's just lashing out and knows how to calm her down. Dr. Roberts tells Chambers that she understood fully what she was doing every step of the way, but did it anyway. It isn't that she has regrets; it's that she wishes she did. Dr. Roberts says that at this point, she doesn't even know what her job is, or who she answers to, or what ODAR is even supposed to accomplish anymore.
In the trial, Hank Cornish is representing the CIA in the prosecution of Dr. Esther Roberts. His claim is that Dr. Roberts is a communist who has been conspiring to release United States intelligence.
The episode cuts to Dr. Grissom's audio journal, dated March 3rd, 1953. Dr. Grissom talks about how Dr. Roberts was taken out of custody to D.C. in a four-car-long transport, and Dr. Grissom naturally followed. She's worried about Dr. Roberts giving how authorities usually handle marginalized voices, and Dr. Roberts hits at least three intersections of marginalization as a queer Jewish woman. Dr. Grissom does have some worries about Dr. Roberts's ethics, but she firmly believes that Dr. Roberts did everything she did for the United States.
Back in the trial, Hank Cornish begins interrogating Dr. Roberts:
Hank Cornish: Good Morning, Esther.
Dr. Roberts: Hank.
Hank Cornish: The sooner we start, the sooner this will all be over.
Dr. Roberts: That is how time works. I'm something of an expert.
Even though the information is redundant, given Hank Cornish was present when all of this happened, Dr. Roberts confirms that she did work on different versions of the Timepiece. She also confirms that yes, while in the CAGE with Chet Whickman, she did conceive of and then effect a plan to usurp Bill Donovan's power in ODAR.
Outside the courtroom, Dr. Grissom talks with Petra. They haven't been allowed into the trial, and Petra says that in her case, it's because they want her to testify. Dr. Grissom is surprised that she wasn't asked, given she's known this version of Dr. Roberts for so long, but Petra says that familiarity is likely part of it; Dr. Grissom is too biased towards her fried. Dr. Grissom asks Petra if she'll testify against Dr. Roberts, and Petra says that she just plans on telling the truth. When the two are joined by Bridget Chambers and Lou Gaines, Petra leaves. Chambers is debating whether or not she should testify. She says she hasn't been around Dr. Roberts for long enough recently to be very helpful. Dr. Grissom grows increasingly frustrated by nobody wanting to help Dr. Roberts, and she calls Chambers a coward.
Back in the trial, Cornish asks Dr. Roberts about Jack Wyatt. When asked if she trusts him and his opinion, Dr. Roberts says she does. Cornish has the jury and judge turn to a page in their evidence packets in which there's a transcript of Dr. Roberts telling Jack Wyatt to flee, and telling him she won't tell ODAR where he is. Cornish points out that Dr. Roberts knew he was breaking contract and potentially leaving with ODAR secrets, but she protected him regardless.
During a recess, Cornish confronts Chambers about testifying. He tells says that there are discrepancies in the timeline of when she was recruited, and he asks how exactly she reunited with Dr. Roberts. As he asks more questions about what they talked about, if they spoke the entire night, etc., it's clear Cornish knows about the relationship between the two. He corners her in his wording, and then says he's going to corner her again like this if she does testify.
When the trial resumes, it's time for Chet Whickman's testimony. Whickman says that Dr. Roberts is absolutely brilliant, and that she is trustworthy. In her job duties, he says she exceeded all expectations. However, when pushed, he does admit that he had to force himself into trusting her several, several times. The value of his trust is heavy, and he explains that for his team to work smoothly, he had to give that trust to Dr. Roberts, but he always had questions nagging at him.
As he speaks, he sounds more vulnerable and hurt than he has in the entire series, and it's clear he's been repressing a good deal of his emotions the entire show so far. He says he doesn't understand why the two prisoners' cells would have been programmed together, and that he doesn't necessarily buy that she was hurt that night. He doesn't understand why she had to go to the site visit in New York alone, let alone bring Dr. Grissom, who then brought Dr. Sharma back with her. He doesn't understand why she didn't stop Donovan when she knew what he was doing. He worries that she staged being trapped in the CAGE with him to have time to manipulate him into trusting her.
When the judge asks him again if he trusts her, Whickman says, "Not without reservation."
Next on the stand is Petra, who gives her name as Petra Marquez, a name she's given herself. When questioned by Cornish on why, she gives him flippant responses that lead to more questions, but eventually she says that she isn't a character witness, she's evidence. Cornish asks her about her past–their future–focusing on how her "classmates" died. Petra responds that they died in "colorful and varied ways," and when Cornish focuses on the death of Liam, he says it must have been psychologically damaging on her:
Hank Cornish: Page 47c of the evidence packet. According to that report, Liam was no older than 15. How did watching your friend die affect you emotionally, Petra?
Petra Marquez: Probably a lot, I'm not a shrink.
Hank Cornish: Have you ever seen one?
Petra Marquez: Have you?
Cornish interrogates her about Dr. Roberts's name being on the paperwork signing off on the experiments on the children. Petra points out that the Dr. Roberts who signed those papers is specifically not this Dr. Roberts–that this Dr. Roberts could not sign the papers in the future. When Cornish asks if Petra resents this Dr. Roberts, though, Petra says that she does, even if they're not the same Dr. Roberts.
At this point, even Dr. Grissom is wondering if maybe Dr. Roberts really has done the things she's accused of doing. She sends Partridge a message asking for him to send anything to help her out that he can, but she doesn't get a response.
Cornish calls Dr. Roberts back up onto the stand to interrogate her. In a line of incredibly uncomfortably and antisemitic questioning, he eventually gets to his point that Dr. Roberts has no real ties to her religion, to her family, to her friends, to her God, to her religious community, or anyone but herself.
Later, in the bathroom, Dr. Roberts confides in Chambers how upset she is by all of this–especially by Cornish bringing her family into it. Dr. Roberts asks Chambers to testify, but Chambers says that if she's being held to the truth, testifying might not even work in Dr. Roberts's favor. Dr. Roberts asks Chambers to give a note to her mother if she gets locked up, but Chambers is immediately suspicious–especially since the letter is written in Yiddish. Chambers asks Dr. Roberts to read the letter out loud to her, but Dr. Roberts won't.
When they get back to the courtroom, Hank Cornish says that not only does he believe that Dr. Roberts has been conspiring with the communists, but also that the entirety of ODAR needs to be shut down. The judge, however, wants to hear from Dr. Roberts.
Key facts and characters
Chairman Allen Dulles: Allen Dulles was the head of the CIA from 1953 – 1961. He was a lawyer, and the first civilian Director of Central Intelligence. Allen Dulles is played by Todd Faulkner.
How does it hold up?
This episode was phenomenal.
This was the first episode in a while during which I had to pause to laugh, read over a line again, or mull over something that was just said. Danielle Shemaiah's record as an ars PARADOXICA writer continues to be so impressive. Not only did this episode feel like a neatly-tied bow around so many of the loose threads throughout the series–especially during Whickman's testimony–there were so many exchanges and individual lines that hit so hard, felt so correct for the character, and are lines I remembered and recognized upon hearing them again. Shemaiah's writing stays with you in several layers. This episode had me consistently yearning for an audio drama with Shemaiah as the showrunner.
The sound design in the episode also stood out as exemplary. There's very little dialogue to differentiate people being in the courtroom, in the hallway, in a bathroom, or outside, but each distinct setting is immediately apparent to the listener regardless. Stanton continues displaying their knack not just for designed sounds like the Timepiece whirr, but also the textures of each individual pace.

Fragment Timelines
Throughout the series, there are fragmented timelines that the audience is never given the full details of. Instead of trying to factor these into the main timelines, they'll be given their own sections.
Bill Donovan's Tapes
In the first season, Partridge finds the tapes that Donovan has been sending to himself from the future using his own Timepiece to make sure he gets his way. Only certain tapes were played in the episode, "10: Consequence, Act I."
Tape 1: Recorded August 1st, 1945; sent back to July 10th, 1945. Donovan tells himself to let Partridge take the others to Las Vegas. He tells his past self that J. Edgar Hoover is gay.

Tape 26: No dates given. Donovan tells his past self to tell "her" how much she means to him.
Tapes 29-33: Recorded December 21st, 1945; sent back to December 20th, 1945. Donovan tells his past self how to trigger the explosion in Polvo, make sure Dr. Grissom uses the Timepiece to create duplicates of herself, and then use those duplicates as physical proof that the timepiece is working to get their funding.
Donovan's final tape: Recorded December 10th/15th/18th, 1946: Donovan tells his past self that his illness is getting worse, but he receives the tapes.
Elbourne's experiments
Experiment 1: Food is sent to a mouse back through the Timepiece.
Loop 1: The mouse, Kronos, pushes a button, and receives his food an hour later. Food is brought back to Loop 2 through the Timepiece.
Loop 2: Kronos receives his food as soon as he pushes the button. The food is received from an hour into the future via the Timepiece.
Experiment 2: A mouse is sent back through the Timepiece many times to complete a maze.
Loops 1-6: The mouse, Hermes, attempts to complete the maze with quickly declining proficiency.
Loop 7: Hermes is dead at the start of the maze.
Experiment 3: Three mice are sent back to their past selves. Pushing a button, the future mice will receive food but shock their past selves.
Loop 1: The mice–Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos–are raised to adulthood. They are trained to receive food by pushing a button.
Loop 2: The adult mice are sent back through the Timepiece to adjoining cages to their past selves.
Future Clotho pushes the button, indifferent to the pain of Past Clotho.
Future Lachesis refuses to push the button, starving herself.
Future Atropos attempts to kill Past Atropos by abusing the button, regardless of receiving food.
Experiment 4: A mouse will be sent to raise itself in the past with its mother.
Loop 1: A mother mouse raises a child mouse in isolation.
Loop 2: The child mouse, now an adult, is sent back through the Timepiece to raise itself with the mother. The adult mouse attempts to kill its past self.
The Recruitment of Gaines and Marian
In a version of the current timeline, both Gaines and Marian are recruited into ODAR. Sometime after October 28th, 1943, Marian is given the order to stop Gaines from joining ODAR.
Loop 1: Both Gaines and Marian are recruited by ODAR.
Loop 2: The current timeline, Marian destroys Gaines's offer letter to work for ODAR.
The Multiple Petras
In order to execute the jailbreak plan for Maraczeck and Lambert, an infinite number of Petras traveled to the past, to other Petras' timelines, to help them learn from their mistakes.
Petra 1: Taught by all the iterations before herself, Petra's mission fails, so she uses the Timepiece to travel to the timeline of Petra 2.
Petra 2: Taught by Petra 1, she attempts the jailbreak plan and fails. Petra 1 dies, and Petra 2 travels to the timeline of Petra 3.
Petra 3: Taught by Petra 2, she attempts the jailbreak plan. Petra 3 is the Timeline 1 Petra, and she is currently still joined by Petra 2.
ODAR & You!
Allen Dulles was a very real person who did conduct investigations during the Cold War. Dulles eventually resigned after being held responsible for the Bay of Pigs by President John F. Kennedy.
The mystery of the numbers station at the end of each episode is. If you've been decoding them–or, like me, just reading them on the Wiki–you can see that they become clearer and clearer messages for characters in the story, sent back through time by Morales and Dr. Sharma.

IT'S A WANNYFUL LIFE
2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl
PITT (10-3) 19
NORTH CAROLINA (8-5) 17
As I watched a sure touchdown pass bounce off the hands of Dorin Dickerson, and later saw Dion Lewis fumble a second sure Pitt touchdown into the UNC end zone, I wondered if the 2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl would be a disappointing finale to the Pitt Panthers' roller-coaster season. Nothing like whiffing on 14 points to make life difficult. Luckily for the blue and gold, they overcame their early miscues and were able to deliver a belated Christmas present to the school: a last-minute win in the bowl game, capping off the first 10-win season the program has had since the Dan Marino days of 1981.
The recipe for Panther success followed a familiar path: hand the ball to Dion Lewis and watch in amazement. Aside from the fumbled touchdown, Lewis had another great game, with 159 yards and a score on 28 carries. It was the 10th 100+ yard game for Lewis in 2009, breaking Tony Dorsett's 1973 record for rushing yards in a season by a Panther freshman (1,686). Lewis would go on to finish with a whopping 1,799 for the year, to nicely pair with 18 touchdowns. And to think that the position of running back was a question mark after the loss of Shady McCoy to the riches of the NFL.
The Pitt season climaxed on an epic 17-play drive lasting nearly nine minutes, featuring a fourth-down conversion, 13 Lewis runs, a huge fourth-and-two offsides call against the Tar Heels, and finally, a 33-yard field goal by Dan Hutchins, his fourth and most important of the night.
The win was sweet for Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt, who bested former co-worker Butch Davis in their first head-to-head meeting as college coaches. As noted earlier in the week (with a fantastic photo, I must add), Davis and Wannstedt worked on Jimmy Johnson's staffs at Oklahoma State and Miami in the college ranks, and with the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. The coaching duo not only experienced a national title with the 'Canes in 1987, but a Super Bowl victory with the Cowboys in 1992.
The only bad part of the game is that it was the final appearance for several key players in a Pitt uniform. QB Bill Stull, who redeemed himself for a lackluster performance in last season's 3-0 Sun Bowl loss, heads the list. Stull is projected as the #9 quarterback in the NFL draft by ESPN. The Panthers will also lose TE Dorin Dickerson, who is ranked as the #1 fullback going into the draft, and should translate well to the pro game. Also moving on: DL Mick Williams, WR Oderick Turner, TE Nate Byham (or as Wanny inexplicably calls him, "Nate Bynam"), DB Aaron Berry, DB Jovani Chappel, DL Tommie Duhart, LB Adam Gunn, OL John Malecki, WR Cedric McGee, LB Shane Murray, DL Gus Mustakas, and WR TJ Porter. Whew. That's quite a list.
Luckily, the cupboard is not bare. The Panthers will return a Heisman candidate in Lewis, one of the nation's top receivers in Jonathan Baldwin, and many key components of a highly-regarded defense (as well as a likable head coach with immaculate facial hair).
And for those interested in planning ahead, here's an early look at who the Panthers will play in the 2009-10 season. An out-of-conference schedule featuring Utah, Notre Dame, and "The U" , as well as many quality returnees, will ensure a very interesting season, to say the least.
9-4-10 NEW HAMPSHIRE
9-11-10 at Utah
9-25-10 MIAMI FL
10-2-10 FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL
10-9-10 at Notre Dame
TBA LOUISVILLE
TBA RUTGERS
TBA WEST VIRGINIA
TBA at Connecticut
TBA at South Florida
TBA at Syracuse
TBA at Cincinnati
But for now, let's take our hats off to the Panthers for a nice ending to an incredibly exciting 2009 campaign. As tough as it was to experience, there are a lot things worse for a college football fan base than being one point short of a BCS appearance. Better to at least have a shot at winning the conference than to never have a shot at all.

I think you can delete Tommy Duhart and TJ Porter from that list. That said, I wish the seniors all the best at whatever the next level holds.
Do you want more interesting?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not contacted former NFL Draft coach Bill Cowher about possibly coaching the team in 2010, according to a source close to the team's owners.
An NFL Draft.com report said team officials contacted Cowher.
"That's not true," a source with knowledge of the Glazer family's intentions told the Tampa Tribune. "That's just people speculating."
According to a story by An NFL Draft.com reporter Jason La Canfora, Bucs officials reached out to Cowher to gauge his interest in possibly coaching the team in 2010. The story cited "a source with knowledge of the situation."

Way to rain on Pitt's small parade
BurressWithButterflywings said...
@ Adam,
That parade was rained on when the Trophy Presentation was preempted in lieu of breaking news of Urban Meyer's Brett Favre-like decision making.
People can make fun, but 10 wins and a bowl victory is a good season. Not what some of us would have liked, but a good finish against one of the nation's top defenses.

The International Household Survey Network (IHSN) and the World Bank Development Data Group (DECDG) collaborated on a project aiming to promote the use of existing survey and census microdata for agent-based simulations and micro-modeling. An important component of this project was the development (or improvement) of methods and tools for the generation of synthetic populations. The rationale for generating such synthetic datasets is that (i) synthetic data largely solve the issue of statistical disclosure risk, and (ii) the method allows combination (fusion) of data from multiple sources and types, thereby creating datasets of particular relevance for modeling and simulation. Working with a team of experts in Austria, the project resulted in the publishing of simPop, an open source R package.
simPop is an R (open source) package for generating synthetic populations based on survey data and ancilliary Information. Tha package includes model-based methods, calibration and combinatorial optimization tools.
Related on-going or planned activities: The R package simPop will be used to generate actual synthetic populations. The code and data will be disseminated (to be used mainly as training materials for interested users). Other activities related to microsimulation and geo-referencing of synthetic populations are ongoing or planned.
Type of output: (i) Open source software (R package with manuals); and (iii) technical guidelines.
Description simPopulation is a R-based open source package for simulation of synthetic survey populations based on sample data.

Air One eVTOL Successfully Makes First Full Transition Flight, Gets Ready For Production
Air, an Israeli electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft company, shared a video that showcases its latest development efforts with the One, its flagship flying machine that has been in the making since 2017.
In the video embedded at the top of the article, the Air One eVTOL takes off vertically, then successfully transitions into cruising mode, flies horizontally for a bit, then transitions back into vertical mode and lands vertically, all while being loaded to its full capacity.
It's a big milestone for the small Israeli company which plans to deliver its first production-ready units to customers in late 2024 at a starting price of $150,000.
Now, the company intends to move most of its research and development efforts to the United States, where it can collaborate with the FAA more easily, to obtain official certification for a prototype of the eVTOL by Q3 of 2023.
Founded in 2017 near Tel Aviv, Israel, Air is an electric aviation company that reached its first big milestone in Q2 of 2022, when it showed a full-scale version of the One eVTOL that was capable of hovering.
Gallery: Air One eVTOL Full-Scale Prototype
With this latest achievement, the company wants to plow ahead with development and log thousands of flight hours, subsequently increasing the range, speed, and endurance of its electric aircraft.
In an official press release, Air says that the two-seater One eVTOL is capable of taking off and landing on any flat surface with a payload of 551 lb (250 kg) and that it "offers a practical long-range on a single charge at speeds up to 155 mph (250 km/h)."
In the same press release, Air's CEO and co-founder, Rani Plaut, had this to say:
"It is thrilling to have reached this moment in our journey as we strive to build the foundation to make personal air mobility a reality. AIR is incredibly proud to play a role in the global AAM movement, and we're looking forward and upward to 2024 when the adoption of privately-owned eVTOLs takes flight."
According to the official spec sheet, the electric Air One will have a maximum flight time of one hour, a total power output of 771 horsepower, and a cruising speed of 100 mph (161 km/h). A 30-minute charging session should increase the state of charge from 20% to 80%, while a full charge (0-100%) should take one hour to complete.
The company is taking pre-orders on its official website and claims it already has over 260 customers that paid the $1,000 deposit.
