Most teams will begin conference play this week, and with it comes the start of a whole new season. The fun is about to start.
Week Five brings a handful of games that will test teams who have gotten off to fast starts but haven't yet proved their worth yet.
Minnesota is 4-0 but hasn't played anyone of note. Ohio State in Columbus will be a true test and should prove whether the Gophers are golden.
Clemson has rebounded after the opening day blowout loss to Alabama but hasn't faced a team that has the ability to test them. Maryland could be that team.
Penn State has looked like world beaters in the first four weeks, but that's been against teams with a combined record of 5-10. Illinois should give the Nits their first test of the season.
As I gaze into my crystal ball, this is how I see Week Five unfolding.
Minnesota at No. 14 Ohio State (-17)
Ohio State's quarterback of the future has become the quarterback of now, as freshman Terrelle Pryor has taken over the starting position from sixth-year senior Todd Boeckman. The Buckeyes still have plenty of questions on offense, including whether Brian Robiskie is 100 percent healthy and what happened to Ray Small.
Jim Tressel announced on Tuesday that Beanie Wells is "probable" for the game, and that has fans in Columbus salivating at the thought of having Wells and Pryor together in the backfield.
Minnesota is 4-0 and one of only three teams still undefeated in the Big Ten. But the Gophers are still a big question mark. Are they really as good as their record indicates, or did Tim Brewster's team benefit from an easy schedule?
No matter, the Gophers are riding high and brimming with confidence. The trash talk has already started pouring out of Minneapolis. A defensive player was quoted as saying, "They're just regular. We're not worried. Number Two (Terrelle Pryor), he's just regular too. The only one we're worried about is 28 (Chris Wells)."
Prediction: Ohio State, 31-14
North Carolina at Miami (-7.5)
With the uncertainty on offense, the Heels will lean even harder on a young defense that's playing well in September.
Led by an instinctive set of linebackers and a ball-hawking secondary, Carolina has allowed just 32 points to Rutgers and Virginia Tech and has five more picks than touchdown passes allowed. Linebackers Mark Paschal and Quan Sturdivant have been particularly stout in run defense.
If the Hurricanes can keep special teams ace Brandon Tate from changing the complexion of the game, the defense will hold a sizable edge over the Tar Heel offense.
Neither Mike Paulus nor Cam Sexton can be counted on to move the ball consistently through the air, putting pressure on tailback Greg Little. He's good, but he'll be slowed by an athletic Miami front seven that gets to the ball very quickly and can intimidate an inexperienced quarterback.
Prediction: Miami, 24-13
Maryland at No. 20 Clemson (-12)
Over the last two games, the Terp offense has shown the flashes of greatness that offensive coordinator James Franklin promised to bring when he was hired. Maryland has piled up 86 points in the last two games, getting improved play from quarterback Chris Turner and outstanding production from a deep group of runners.
Maryland's defense has allowed at least 24 points in each of the last three games and has been especially suspect in pass defense. This could be the game where Clemson quarterback Cullen Harper taps back into his 2007 form, teaming up with Aaron Kelly and Jacoby Ford for a handful of big plays in the passing game.
With the Terps unable to press up in run defense, James Davis and C.J. Spiller will have more room to make plays on the ground.
Prediction: Clemson, 34-20
Ole Miss at No. 4 Florida (-24)
Despite a setback against Vanderbilt, the Rebel offense continues to put up daunting numbers through the first four games of the season. Ole Miss ranks fourth in the SEC with 401.8 yards of total offense while standing fifth in the league with 30.0 points per game. Quarterback Jevan Snead is tied for the league lead with six touchdown passes and is third in the SEC with an average of 211.0 passing yards per game.
The Rebs have had a problem turning the ball over though and will need to hang on to the ball if they have any hope of beating the Gators.
Florida enters the weekend following a thrashing of rival Tennessee in its conference opener. Gator quarterback Tim Tebow threw for two touchdown passes, and the Florida defense held the Vols scoreless for the first three quarters en route to its fourth straight win over UT.
The Gators have yet to fully hit their stride offensively, but that time will come.
Prediction: Florida, 42-16
No. 9 Wisconsin (-5.5) at Michigan
Wisconsin, coming off a bye week, will be fresh and eager to get back on the field. The Badgers have a physical, active defense that will most definitely wreak havoc on Michigan's floundering offense.
The offense looked solid in wins over Akron and Marshall but struggled when it faced a talented defense in Fresno State. The Badgers will need to get a good, solid performance out of quarterback Allan Evridge.
Michigan, also coming off a bye, will look to start fresh after an embarrassing performance at Notre Dame. The key for the Wolverines will be to stay in the game by playing good solid defense, pressuring the quarterback, and stopping super tailback P.J. Hill. If the Wolverines can play solid defense, they may have a chance.
Prediction: Wisconsin, 28-21
Tennessee at No. 15 Auburn (-6.5)
The Volunteers were outmatched by another ranked SEC foe last week in Knoxville when they were blown out for the second straight year and lost their fourth in a row to rival Florida. They also suffered a season-opening loss to a UCLA team that has lost its other two games by a combined 90-10 score.
What gives Phil Fulmer hope for the rest of the season is that Tennessee stood at 1-2 last year after a blowout loss to the Gators but won eight of its next nine to reach the SEC title game.
Two weeks ago Auburn won with a baseball-like score. That less-than-convincing victory and mediocre offensive performance did not provide a big confidence boost for the Tigers heading into their showdown last Saturday with LSU, and they ended up in another close game—this one in Auburn. Unlike the previous week, however, Auburn wasted an 11-point halftime lead and ended up losing late in the game.
The Tigers are eager to prove they are one of the teams to beat in the SEC.
Prediction: Auburn, 27-16
Colorado at Florida State (-6)
Colorado's defense has been outstanding this season. Last week the Buffs held West Virginia to 14 points and have allowed just two touchdown passes all season. On the inside, George Hypolite and Brandon Nicolas are a couple of future pros who'll dominate that suspect 'Nole front wall.
We saw last week what happens when Florida State can't run the ball and must put the offense in the hands of quarterbacks Christian Ponder and D'Vontrey Richardson.
The Florida State offense is in shambles and has been marked by turnovers, penalties, and a lack of depth on the offensive line. Lost in last week's debacle was the play of the defense, which kept the Demon Deacons out of the end zone despite those seven turnovers.
Linebacker Derek Nicholson was a force of nature, and the return of defensive tackle Budd Thacker helped ease the congestion for defensive end Everette Brown and the rest of the defensive linemen. For all the problems facing Florida State, the defense isn't one of them, giving up just one touchdown through the first three quarters.
Prediction: Colorado, 13-10
Purdue at Notre Dame (-3)
Purdue, following a heartbreaking loss to Oregon and a closer than expected game against Central Michigan, is looking to end the streak of bad luck they've had at Notre Dame Stadium. The Boilermaker passing game hasn't been quite as explosive as it was in years past, but the emergence of Kory Sheets has fans in West Lafayette buzzing.
Notre Dame followed their blowout win against Michigan by laying an egg against Michigan State. The Irish have struggled mightily at stopping the run and will have their hands full against Purdue. Kory Sheets is great in space, and tackling has been a problem area for Notre Dame.
Prediction: Purdue, 34-17
No. 22 Illinois at No. 12 Penn State (-13.5)
Illinois is coming off two sluggish wins over Louisiana-Lafayette and Eastern Illinois, followed by a bye week, and Ron Zook says his team is refreshed and feel like they are starting a new season.
Illini fans are hoping that's true and that the defense will show improvement against a Penn State offense that is putting up gaudy numbers, and that the offense will show the consistency that it has lacked in the last two games.
Penn State looks like the team to beat in the Big Ten, and the team is overflowing with confidence. But is it premature?
The Nittany Lions have faced four teams that have a combined record of 5-10, and two of those five wins were over FCS schools. Not the toughest of competition. The Nits have yet to be tested, and how they react to adversity remains to be seen.
Prediction: Penn State, 45-31
Virginia Tech at Nebraska (-7)
The one constant for the Hokies this fall has been the play of the defense, which has gotten better with each passing week. In last week's win over North Carolina, the unit had four sacks and created an equal number of turnovers. The pressure is coming from multiple sources across the line, including speedy ends Orion Martin and Jason Worilds.
It's already evident Bo Pelini is having a positive impact on the defensive side of the ball. Since having some breakdowns versus Western Michigan, the Huskers have gone more than eight quarters without allowing a touchdown pass and have been particularly stingy in the red zone. Led by lineman Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska already has nine sacks.
The way the Hokies are sputtering on offense, ranking 112th nationally, their problems moving the ball figure to continue this weekend.
Prediction: Nebraska, 24-17
Game of the Week
No. 8 Alabama at No. 3 Georgia (-7.5)
The biggest reason for the Crimson Tide's rise was its opening victory over preseason No. 9 Clemson. After a sloppy win over Tulane the following week, Alabama has been impressive in its past two victories, routing Western Kentucky and then Arkansas last Saturday behind Glen Coffee's 162 yards rushing and two scores.
The Dawgs traveled to Tempe last Saturday to face an Arizona State team that was licking its wounds after a heartbreaking loss to UNLV the week before. The Sun Devils dropped out of the AP Top 25 due to the loss but still figured to give Georgia a tough test. That wasn't the case at all.
Knowshon Moreno ran for 149 yards and two touchdowns, and Matthew Stafford threw for 285 yards and a score in the Bulldogs' 27-10 victory.
Prediction: Georgia, 27-23
Upset Special
No. 24 TCU at No. 2 Oklahoma (-17.5)
Three players combined for four touchdowns on the ground last week for TCU, which is tied for fifth in the country in total points. The Horned Frogs have been even better defensively, holding opponents to 30.5 rushing yards and 183.0 total yards per game—both tops in the FBS.
The Horned Frogs have won their last two games in Norman, most recently a 17-10 victory over the then-No. 7 Sooners in the teams' 2005 season opener. That was Stoops' only previous game against TCU.
The second-ranked Sooners face their toughest test of the young season on Saturday night in a matchup of two of college football's most overpowering teams thus far.
Oklahoma pounded Chattanooga in its season opener before routing Cincinnati the following week. After another romp over Washington in their last game, the Sooners have outscored opponents 164-42 and are second in the Football Bowl Subdivision with a 40.7 average margin of victory.
Prediction: TCU, 37-34

The Walmart 3DS early price drop might just be a pre-order

I know it isn't from an actual store, but it looks like Walmart might just be doing pre-orders for the 3DS price drop. You'd probably pay the $170 and receive a voucher to pick it up on the 12th. Possibly because they'll know there will be a rush of people wanting to get the 3DS at the discounted price on the 12th.
So don't be surprised to walk out of Walmart with a piece of paper that says you'll get the 3DS on the 12th.

I think this is highly possible and most likely. I hope it's just a pre-order.

You people really are that bitter, that you don't want others to get a possible chance of having what you have? It's not like it's a loophole either, it would be a very easy way of going about it, since the store changed the price.

Walmart doesnt care about nintendo's rep. The longer they sit on a unit the less money they make. Nobodys going to buy a 3DS for $250 if the price is dropping almost $100 soon.
Nintendo probably wants people to exploit the "loophole" because its going to make more people buy the 3ds. Giving away free VC games doesn't cost nintendo much, and in the long run is making more money for them.

Nintendo probably wants people to exploit the "loophole" because its going to make more people buy the 3ds. Giving away free VC games doesn't cost nintendo much, and in the long run is making more money for them.
In business, any time sales are lost, that means it will cost the company. Each of those free games was a potential sale. We can only speculate on the cost of the NES and GBA titles on the 3DS store, but I think everyone's agreed upon $5 for NES titles, $10 for GBA titles as a good estimate. At 10 NES and 10 GBA games, that $150. That means Nintendo would have to sell 4 games to make up those lost numbers, and lets face it, the 3DS does not have 4 games that are worth buying new. And if you just got 20 free games, how likely are you to be buying a new game?
if we assume that 1000 people (we all know it will be more than 1000, but we'll just use 1000 as an example) are planning on getting the 3DS because of the price drop, but 25% of those people (or 250 people) get the system at Walmart before the official drop and get the 20 games for free (under the assumption that most of the people buying videogames are from the uninformed massed and 25% is actually a generous percentage) Nintendo would have lost a potential $37,500 from digital downloads. And there is no guarantee that the other 750 people are going to buy all 20 games to cover the lost sales from the 250 who got the games for free. To put this in perspective 1000 video game buyers would represent a small suburb in my state of California.
If you have a $250 system, subtract $80 from the total and give away $150 in free games, you're selling a $250 system for $20. THAT is not going to be making Nintendo any money in the long run, unless it actually costs them $10 to make a 3DS. The packaging alone would cost them almost $10, so the 3DS itself would have to cost them $5 to produce in order to turn a profit on $20. That's not factoring the sales charge the store takes, and the shipping/handling delivery charge.
If a person gets the discounted 3DS+the 20 free games, and then buys 1 used game, Nintendo just lost money. Assuming they actually got anything from that remaining $20.
Awesome for the consumer, horrible for the company. Nintendo does not want that. There is no short term or long term benefit for Nintendo for there to be a loophole like that. Walmart will most likely be doing pre-orders.
And you are right in thinking that Walmart doesn't care about Nintendo's rep, because for them, like you said, they're just going to be sitting on 3DS stock for 3 days. And in the game of numbers, wasted space means product that is not selling, and product that is not selling is taking up space from product that moves meaning that they are not selling as much a they can. Walmart could care less; Nintendo though would care a lot.

Now... the fact that they are giving away these games (downloadable ones mind you) is a cost to them more or less but.... Im sure they do not mind the loss considering how much more they'll make if at least 50% of those people pick up all or most of the soon to be released 1st party titles.... its a loss in Downloadable profits but a booster for installed user base which can lead to a higher retail software sales rate... Im sure they'll more than likely make back a majority if not all that and then some by the end of this fiscal (next June)

Friday's Sermons
Jul 17th, 2009 by pedestrian
Iranian state TV is currently broadcasting via its five channels:
1) a discussion on havij bastani (an Iranian desert with carrots and ice cream)
2) a 1986 Japanese cartoon
3) an Indian movie
4) an even cheesier Iranian movie
5) a documentary on the Iran-Iraq war
I've had almost every Friday lunch I can bring to memory listening to the Friday sermon playing in the background. IRIB1 made sure to start the live program a full hour before the sermon began to showcase the environment and the "revolutionary spirit of our people."
Apparently the spirit was a no-show this time as there is no sign of it on TV.
Bahman Agha is listening to the sermons on the radio from Tehran. I will be translating his words as long as he keeps them coming.
12:42 Taghavi the head of the organization that oversees the Friday prayer imams is still speaking. "Whoever participates in the Friday prayers is strengthening his ties with the leader."
12:47 Taghavi is going on still.
12:48 Taghavi: The Imam is speaking on the behalf of the supreme leader and thus must only speak of those policies approved by him. The Imam must organize his speech according to these policies.
12:50 Taghavi: This podium and this gathering must never be used on behalf of any political party or political cause. The Friday prayer is a prayer said in allegiance with the supreme leader. It is a prayer of unity and brotherhood.
12:52 Taghavi (again): The Imam must only speak of those policies approved by the supreme leader.
12:55 Taghavi: Unity is a policy that must be propagated by the Friday prayer. Respect for the law is another such policy. We must accept the law even if it is not to our advantage.
12:58 Taghavi: We must accept everything the leader said during his Friday sermon a few weeks ago.
13:05 Taghavi is done speaking. He ended with a few grudging words for the BBC.
(I'm now listening to the sermons myself . There is only the sound of prayer playing via a speaker)
The moazzen is saying the azan.
Rafsanjani just got introduced to the podium.
Sound of loud chants we can't make out.
Rafsanjani: Please sit down so we can make time for the speech.
Chants again. They're not letting him speak. I can only make out "leader" in their chants. (the blood in our veins is a gift to our leader)
13:20 Rafsanjani: We are approaching the anniversary of the Friday prayers and today's Friday prayer is in ways very similar to the first every prayers led by Ayatollah Taleqani. In hopes that we can use this prayer for the betterment of the future of our country and the goals of the revolution.
(Tehran radio is now cut off. The host just came on to announce that thousands of people are chanting Allah o Akbar in the streets. WTF?!)
13:23 Rafsanjani: I have a main part to my speech. It will be about the most critical aspects of Islam.
13:25 The second part of my speech will be about the goals of the revolution, the goals people have worked for and have given their blood for and the goals that our Imam [Khomeini] spent his entire life fighting for.
13:26 The third part will be about current events and the conditions we are in today. I will try to draw out solutions the way I see them. Of course, these will be my personal opinion.
13:27 Rafsanjani is speaking of Mohammad, the prophet, and the early days of Islam. This will go on for the first part of his sermon.
13:34 Rafsanjani is still speaking of Mohammad's early days as prophet and his attempts to establish rule in Medina.
13:36 He is reciting a sourah from the Koran and interpreting it.
13:41 Rafsanjani is getting teary. "The prophet respected the rights of all those under his rule." He brings an example from the end of the prophet's life where the prophet comes to the people and asks that they come to him to let him know if he ever treated them unfairly.
13:44 The prophet felt, during the last years of his life, that animosity was brewing amongst his people [he is crying now]. The prophet felt that his old friends are now enemies.
13:46 The prophet went to Baghi [where his old friends were buried] and said to them: you are lucky that you are no longer here to see that your old brothers are killing and destroying one another.
The first part of the speech is over. The second has begun.
13:51 He begins (as is the custom) by mentioning the upcoming religious dates of significance (e.g., the death of the seventh Shi'a Imam)
13: 52 May all the oppressors who make innocent people bleed be a witness to eternal condemnation
[the chants begin again]
13:53 I asked you, I pleaded for you to let me speak.
[more chants]
13:54 Rafsanjani condemns China. People chant "Death to China". He asks that people stop their chants.
13:55 Rafsanjani: China has a rational government. It must look at how it can benefit from its relations with the Islamic world. We hope that we will no longer be witness to such atrocities towards Muslims in China or anywhere else in the world.
13:55 But coming to our own problems. We started off very well in the race for the presidency. Everything went smoothly and fairly.
13:56 People became very hopeful. Everything was set for a glorious day. This glory was due to the people. They were the ones who went to the ballot box. And we must be grateful to them.
13:57 I so very much wish that that path had been continued. But unfortunately, that was not the case. I will now elaborate. We must first see what we [probably the ruling establishment] were after. This is coming from a person who was always by the Imam[Khomeini's] side [he is referring to himself]. For 60 years. The Imam was always after the people. After getting their approval and their participation. This was the art of the Imam which made him so successful. It took the Imam less than 20 years to get the people to come to the streets.
13:58 These people, the ones who were behind the Imam, broke the back of the Shah and brought him to his knees.
13:59 After the victory of the revolution too, we worked on a daily basis with the Imam. The Imam would always say that if the system is not backed by the people, nothing would stand.
14:00 The Imam would always quote the prophet [Muhammad] who would say to Ali [Mohammad's successor]: leave the people if they do not want you.
14:02 He is speaking of the Imam's command to Bazargan to form a temporary government. But the Imam tells him to keep it short to pave the way for the constitution.
[loud chants]
14:03 We agreed that you will stop chanting. If we do not have the votes of the people behind us, we will have nothing. The guardian council, the expediency council, EVERYONE gets their legitimacy from the vote of the people.
14:04 Without Islam, without a republic, we have nothing. Ali [Imam Ali, the prophet's successor] waited 19 years until the people came for him.
[more chants]
14:05 Stop chanting.
14:06 Why did the elections come to this? Before the election, near the end, some people had doubts about what was going to happen. Maybe because of the way the broadcasting corporation behaved.
14:07 Rafsanjani: Some are chanting and I can't make out what they say. But I am speaking what you want to hear. I want unity too.
14:08 I have always acted above and beyond party lines, and now too we must search for unity to find a way out of our quandary.
14:09 I have some suggestions. I have spoken to some members of the the expediency council and the assembly of experts about them too. [Signaling that he is the chief of the assembly of experts and the expediency council and he is speaking from that platform]
14:10 We must bring back the trust of the people. First of all, everyone must accept the law. The people, the parliament, everyone.
14:11 We must create a condition so that everyone can speak. We must speak logically. And a part of this responsibility is on the shoulders of the broadcasting corporation.
14:12 The guardian council did not make good use of the extra fives days given to them by the leader.
14:13 We do not need people in prison for this. Let's allow them to return to their families.
[More chants of Allah o Akbar]
14:14 We must join with those who have incurred great loss and try to lesson their pain.
14:15 We must give freedom to the press within the confines of the law.
[not a word of the government]
14:15 We are all members of the same family. We must remain friends and allies. Why have we gone so far as to pain some of our marajeh [top religious leaders]?
14:16 I hope this sermon will pave a way out of this current situation. A situation that can be considered a crisis.
14:17 The sermon is finished.
14:18 Two chants can be heard: the blood in our veins is a gift to our leader and Hashemi, Hashemi, may god keep you safe.
The speech was brilliant. At least as far as my sleep deprived brain can think right now. Maybe I'll have a different opinion later. He didn't even MENTION the government. How great is that?
Sorry for all the typos, grammatical errors, etc. I'll edit this soon!

Pedestrian: 'But it seems every generation gets to write its own. I think mine has just begun.'
Insha'Allah, I hope so
and I hope it's in the form of whatever Iran wants not just what a lot of Iran seems to think that 'the west' wants for you (we can't even agree on what *we* want for ourselves, let alone Iran).
I had an Iranian friend in the 80s & early 90s, if he was alive now I'm sure he would be proud of you all.
I'm any no sort of expert, but love him or hate him Rasanjani's got a lot to lose if it all goes pear shaped either way. He's a past master at treading the fine line and as you've intimated above, if the people can harness that, you've got a great advantage.
I've been looking at other translations too & taken with yours, I'd say his speech was well judged & he chose his words with great care. I liked the use of 'we' through-out – inclusive rather than divisive, very pragmatic too (meant as a compliment). Evolution rather than revolution??

Thank you for going through all the trouble posting the sermon. Lot of nuances that can be expounded and later analyzed for better understanding of the power struggle and ultimately power shift among political blocs in Iran.
Straight with a view you dear!
Glad that I found you! I'm always searching for more information on Iran in English and this is a wonderful translation that's greatly appreciated!! Looking forward to more in the future.

We Won't Miss TARP, But Uncle Sam Will 0 commentsDec 20, 2012 10:18 AM
TARP, the unloved program that either saved the economy or bailed out the bankers depending on who you talk too will probably be wound down over the next year. According to the latest report, the remaining balance outstanding is a little less than $50B. You may want to hold off the Champaign though, because when TARP is gone, so are the cash inflows it generates. Over FY 2010-2012, TARP contributed almost $300B in cash inflows to the federal coffers, reducing the cash deficit and the need for borrowing over that time period. To understand how, let's first imagine TARP as a two year program. In year one, $700B of cash goes out, resulting in a $700B reported deficit. However, while there were certainly losses, TARP wasn't a complete loss, as a majority of the money was eventually paid back. Back to our example, let's say in Year 2, $600B was paid back and $100B was written off. Thus in year two, we record a $600B surplus. Clearly this is different than how a public company would account for the transactions…welcome to government accounting. Now obviously TARP was not a two year program, but the implications are similar. Reported deficits primarily incurred in 2009 are now being offset in future years as balances are repaid or sold.
Now at this point you may be thinking, what's the big deal? So $50-$100B of "revenue" is about to dry up, that's only around 2% of federal revenues. I bring it up because I just read an article comparing Obama's tax plan to Boehner's. According to the Tax Policy center, Obama's plan would raise taxes on the "rich" by $40-$45B next year, while Boehner's plan would generate about $20B. So neither comes close to even plugging the hole TARP, an admittedly small revenue source will leave when it is gone next year. The spending side offers little relief either. Next year alone, we can probably expect Medicare and Social Security spending to increase around $100B together, which is around the magnitude of spending cuts being discussed. Using the Daily Treasury Statements as a source, we can see that the trailing twelve month cash deficit as of 11/30/2012 was $1.176T, that's over one year, not ten. The bottom line is, there is nothing serious about any of the proposals on the table. It is becoming increasingly clear that we as a nation will not voluntarily address this problem. That said, before you bid on that next round of 30 year notes, you might want to ask yourself what the world is going to look like in 30 years when you try to cash it in.

Wow ur eager. As long as you have a 3g GN, just head over to the recovery image site and grab the latest Takju build for your phone. The OTAs at least started out for that build a few days ago. From what I read, you may even find the latest 4.2 recovery images there. Note hat flashing a recovery image will wipe your phone. Also, standard disclaimer does apply. If your phone gets jacked up, it's on you.
Yeah, witch is why I rather wait for OTA update... (lets see how strong I am for that). I bougth a nexus over my galaxy S looking forward to stop flashing custom roms and stuff, and let google do the job, but damn they take their own time right.? Thanks anyways

In this problem, you will consider a series L-R-Ccircuit, containing a resistor of resistance , an inductor of inductance , and a capacitor of capacitance , all connected in series to an AC source providing an alternating voltage . (Figure 1)
You may have solved a number of problems in which you had to find the effective resistance of a circuit containing multiple resistors. Finding the overall resistance of a circuit is often of practical interest. In this problem, we will start our analysis of this L-R-Ccircuit by finding its effective overall resistance, orimpedance. The impedance is defined by , where and are the amplitudes of the voltage across the entire circuit and the current, respectively.
Find the impedance of the circuit using the phasor diagram shown. Notice that in this series circuit, the current is same for all elements of the circuit: (Figure 2)
You may find the following reminders helpful:
- In a series circuit, the overall voltage is the sum of the individual voltages.
- In an AC circuit, the voltage across a capacitor lags behind the current, whereas the voltage across an inductor leads the current.
- The reactance (effective resistance) of an inductor in an AC circuit is given by .
- The reactance (effective resistance) of the capacitor in an AC circuit is given by .

Albany city commissioners have voted and approved $300,000 in SPLOST funding for the SOWEGA Council on Aging.
Kay Hind, the executive director over the organization, requested the funds to complete the new building in downtown Albany.
About $125,000 will be used for landscaping purposes. The remainder will go towards operation costs and purchasing furniture.
Hind said if the government is not back in business by November 15, the Council on Aging will have to start cutting services and dip into the reserve and they will have to service the people with the greatest need.
The organization has approximately 20 programs that service the Albany community.

Been a fan of GarageBand for a long time and have a number of the expansion packs and such like. Make no mistake: I am not a musician, I can't read music or play any kind of instrument.
That being said, I do feel I have a good ear for music and GarageBand provides me with that creative audio outlet which gives me immense joy and pleasure. I think it's so important to explore other creative avenues and what better way than using GarageBand as that platform. Visual creativity is one thing, but audio creativity is a totally different game and one I really wish I could participate in at a higher level.
I used to be in the School Choir and loved everything about the singing, harmonies, solos and just performing.
It's relatively easy to time a whole load of loops together which is mostly what I have done, but finding the right instruments with the right pitch and timing can take a while to perfect. The sense of achievement with a GarageBand creation is huge with me as I love being able to listen to the various tunes I have cobbled together and I get a great sense of satisfaction from doing it.
Here are a few of my GaragBand pieces. Worth noting that the first two are somewhat slow as I put these together specifically for my Fathers Funeral. The March was played as people poured into the Chapel to take their seats whilst Brassy was played as the coffin was moved behind the curtains for the cremation. To be honest it was all very emotional listening to this music as my Father was a great brass, big band and music lover. Having been a Policeman for 40 years it also seemed appropriate to have some music that had a certain rhythmic march beat.
To have put together music for such a emotional moment was a massive responsibility and I sincerely feel that this music was far more appropriate than any random hymn out there. My music made for my Dad: doesn't get much more personal than that.
The other tunes are just purely for my own personal pleasure and fun. Not saying these are masterpieces in any form or shape, but they are fun to edit and listen to. If you haven't yet immersed yourself in GarageBand it really is worth a crack. Just be prepared to see many hours evaporate…
Brassy - Played at end of my Father's Funeral.
Capital E - Played beginning of my Father's Funeral.
GarageBand Virgin - My first attempt.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Growing up in the aptly named Hoopeston, Ill., Thad Matta was always a fan of Big Ten basketball. But while the status of most of the league's members changed for both better and worse- and sometimes better again- in the time that it took Matta to accept the head coaching job at Ohio State in 2004, one program has remained a constant at the top of the conference mountain: Michigan State.

Reviews for Fristers

This organization saved my daughter. When she got pregnant at 14, she thought her life was over. Fristers brought the spirit back to her. She set goals and has met them. She finished high school and went on to college. Not only did she receive benefit from this organization, but she was inspired and became a member of this wonderful organization. She works very hard for the organization to try and bring the message to young mothers everywhere she goes. She is never without business cards and if she sees a young mom, she is right there to tell the Fristers story. A wonderful organization that saved my daughter.
Fristers has changed my life in all the best ways! I was fifteen when I had my daughter, and had no clue what I was doing with my life personally, or as a mom. I joined Fristers when my daughter was about 9 years old, and as soon as I walked in they helped me to feel important, and loved. They have always supported me, and I have never once heard an "I told you so" even after making huge mistakes. Fristers helped me to know that I can still have a successful life despite having my daughter at a young age. They encouraged me to finish school, and get my drivers license. They gave me tools and resources to obtain child care, health insurance, and child support. They even provided references so I could get my first job.
The staff and volunteers are so loving, and would do anything to support a young mother. This is my fourth year attending, and I have loved every second. There is still so much to learn, fun to be had, and new friendships to be made. I don't know where I would be without Fristers, but I know my life, and my daughter's would not be as happy or successful without them.
I became involved in Frister's about 3 years ago after I began attending Mariner's Church in 2009. I was a teen mom and I felt my experience would help others understand things that took me years to figure out on my own. I enjoy spending time with the girls and encouraging them to be the best they can be and really help them focus on their future and not dwell on their past. It's amazing to see the progress some of these girls make and really change their trajectory in life. Frister's gives these girls hope and guidance to help them become women God intended them to be.

I was an unwed mother at the age of 17 when I gave birth to my daughter. I felt very ashamed, judged and shunned by my church which, was very conservative. I didn't understand then why I made some of the choices I made that impacted my life immensely until years later. I wanted to help girls like me not feel so alone. I wanted to be apart of something that would encourage, nurture and empower a young mom to be more than a statistic. To love her and know life is not over and she does have a chance to live a life of grace, truth and beauty. I wish I had FRISTER'S when I was in that situation.

The time, care, thought, effort, and love that the Fristers team devotes to their program is remarkable. Their efforts are positively changing the lives of this and the next generation and I am blessed to have the opportunity serve and call myself a part of the team.
Fristers which translates to Friends & Sisters! I have been involved with this amazing organization since its inception and have watched the transformation of the young single mothers and their children who have joined our program. They are loved from the moment they walk through our doors, given hope, understanding, love, and the tools to succeed. This program has and will continue to change lives!!! If you now of young teen mom who is in need of support, this is the only program of its kind!
Fristers is absolutely amazing! As a volunteer, I see first hand how Fristers is improving the lives of each mom and child that comes through the door. They are committed to helping each individual with any problem they might face, by providing resources and endless amounts of social support and acceptance. They truly care about these moms and kids.

Fristers is changing lives! I've seen it in the girls who come back week after week, year after year. They are confident, outgoing, better mothers, and more independent. As a childcare volunteer for the past 5 years, I've also witnessed change in their children. The kids who were once shy, misbehaved, or scared to leave their mothers have morphed into kids who can't wait to play with their friends, who say a prayer and sit nicely at dinner, and who are excited to learn numbers and colors and letters! Fristers has changed me, too, encouraging me to be more patient, kind, and understanding of other people. I love being a part of this organization and I look forward to it each week!
There aren't enough wonderful words that can describe Fristers. I've been volunteering for 5 years now and just can't get enough of the love that is so evident each time I'm surrounded by fellow Fristers. God is at work in this ministry and it's a beautiful thing to watch the lives of these young moms and children being transformed from the inside out.
Fristers is one of the most amazing ministries I've ever come across. What Fristers provides for teen moms is life changing and I feel so blessed to be a part of it. I've seen first hand changes taking place in the lives of the young moms we serve each week. I've seen girls come to know the Lord and find hope in their future because of it. I see the girls faces light up each week as they enter the room and enjoy an evening free of their responsibilities as a mom and just enjoy time with others and bettering themselves as young adults and moms. I love every moment of my time with my Fristers!

I have been a volunteer and supporter of Fristers since it began. I wanted to serve at my church. I love being a mom and my children were grown so Fristers seemed like a good fit for me. I showed up 7 years ago (actually when I started, we were called Club Mom) and have been coming every Wednesday night since. There are so many things I love about Fristers but the best part is seeing the girls walk into the room and know that they are in a safe place where they will get a hug, a smile, a good meal, a laugh, encouragement and all the resources they need to move forward. It is really powerful to see life change and it is happening with these girls. I've seen it because I've been there for so long and it is thrilling.
If I had to sum up Fristers in one word I would say it is empowering! So much love and care goes into every detail for these teen mothers. On any given night across six different locations volunteers and professionals come together to set up the meeting room, provide transportation, serve a warm meal, and of course provide resources to these young women so that they can be better students, mothers, and employees all at once. This program is run and staffed and interned by those that care. The young women who come every week to learn and grow want to be the best mothers they can be. I am so grateful to get to be apart of a program that provides such love and support.

SUPER BOWL Monday.
Super Bowl Wednesday.
Surely that sounds better than Super Bowl PPD.
The NFL says it's ready for next year's game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Feb. 2, no matter the weather. Even if it means moving the game from its traditional Sunday spot.
Concerns about contingencies arose recently for two reasons: Next year's Super Bowl will be outdoors at a cold-weather site for the first time and the Northeast is still recovering from a monster snowstorm that hit last weekend; the lights went out in the Louisiana Superdome during the Feb. 3 game, causing a 34-minute delay and some anxiety about whether it would resume.

A sometimes stinging Venice Biennale
Venice, Italy — Every two years, this ancient and liquidy city is deluged by the art world, making it seem more unreal than it already is. Curators, collectors, critics and artists cram onto the Venetian islands for a three-day preview of what is effectively the Olympics of art, the Venice Biennale.
Attired like something out of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" – tailored and European and with all of the ingratiating and insinuating implied by that reference – many of the well-heeled dash like 8-year-olds sprinting for Space Mountain when the gates open each day. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Kaskade, fans relish rare, intimate DJ set at Oak Lounge
DJ Kaskade probably could have sold out the Rave's 3,500-person-capacity Eagles Ballroom Friday. Instead, he played the intimate Oak Lounge for a couple hundred people.
It was the last stop of the Redux tour, a 12-show run that took the electronic dance music star to tiny clubs — and cities like Milwaukee and El Paso, Texas, instead of Chicago, New York or Los Angeles. Kaskade has said the tour was intended to recapture the vibe of his club gigs 10 years ago, before his mega-popularity, "when it was all about the music." »Read Full Article
Skylight Music Theatre shows why 'Hair' is still vital
Here's what's truly obscene: Nearly 50 years after the revolution called "Hair," we still struggle with its chaste nude scene — even as we casually absorb nightly images of dead bodies from the world's killing fields.
That's why "Hair" remains vitally relevant, as is clearer than ever in Skylight Music Theatre's stirring production, which opened Friday under the direction of Ray Jivoff (stage) and Viswa Subbaraman (music). Much as I liked the touring version of the Broadway revival that stopped here in 2011, this "Hair" is even better. »Read Full Article(2)
