Lockheed Martin Trials Next Generation Laser-Based Missile/UAV Defense System

Using high energy lasers could reduce the cost of shooting down missiles and UAVs, while improving accuracy
The Middle Eastern nation of Israel is currently in the midst of a dire real world test of the
most ambitious missile defense system
in history --
Iron Dome
. While the system cost billions to deploy, in the recent conflict along the Gaza Strip border it has paid off. The system has intercepted an estimated 80 to 90 percent of missiles that are directed at populated targets (as the enemy's missiles are improvised and hand-launched, many land harmlessly in the desert; the system ignores those marks).
In the U.S., Lockheed Martin Corp. (
), one of the world's largest defense contractors, is testing a high-tech missile defense system that could one day replace or supplement missile-based interceptor systems like Iron Dome.
The Lockheed system is dubbed the "
Area Defense Anti-Munitions (ADAM)
system" and packs a powerful 10-kilowatt laser capable of destroying targets up to 2 km (1.24 mi) away.
In a field test of ADAM, the system "successfully engaged" (sounds like a hit, but not necessarily destruction of) an unmanned aerial vehicle at a distance of 1.5 km (0.9 mi). The system also "destroyed" not one, but four "small-caliber rocket targets" at a range of 2 km.
This is the image seen from the ADAM system as it locks onto the UAV.
Lockheed Martin developed the entire modular software/hardware package that powers targeting and interception. The system uses radar to locate threats and the built-in laser to eliminate them.
Paul Shattuck, Lockheed Martin's director of directed energy systems for Strategic and Missile Defense Systems comments, "Lockheed Martin has applied its expertise as a laser weapon system integrator to provide a practical and affordable defense against serious threats to military forces and installations. In developing the ADAM system, we combined our proven laser beam control architecture with commercial hardware to create a capable, integrated laser weapon system."
An artist's rendering of the 10 kw laser-based ADAM interceptor system
An important limitation of the system is its line-of-sight (LOS) requirement. As the destructive force is delivered via a laser light beam, it can only target projectiles it can "see". This shortcoming may lead traditional interceptors to be used closer to populate regions (where exploding missiles directly overhead could endanger citizens), but supplemented by laser-based interceptor system on the border of a hostile neighbor entity/state.
The capability to intercept UAVs is particularly interesting. While the U.S. has long had a relative hegemony on the emerging combat technology, which it has fielded in combat operations
in Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
, of late several hostile nation-states have been working to develop UAVs of their own. Most notably Iran, known for voicing strong
, anti-Israeli sentiments, showed off his
"Messenger of Death" drone bomber
, which
it is developing
, aided by
reverse engineering
of a
seized U.S. UAV flier

My son is back from college on Christmas break… what I would give to be 19 again… anything!
All I got to live for now is TBS and good meat, ho-hum… LOL!
The boy sent the wife a Christmas list a week or so ago, on the list he requested pulled pork!
Isn't that great? At least when I am gone he will remember me for something LOL. He's a great kid, and passed all his classes, first semester, college: Industrial Electrical. He had to take Trigonometry… nope, no thanks on that one!
I am going for a pork butt all-nighter in my trusty ol MES 30 with AMAZN apple.
Outside temp is now: 31F, inside temp is: 255F – supposed to get down to 13F tonight, we'll see. I love the 16-18 hr. butts with killer bark!
Pulled pork for dinner tomorrow! The boy is gonna love it.
Into the smoker…

BBC Review
Makes a compelling case for a work that deserves a modern audience.
Graham Rogers 2010
With Ivanhoe Arthur Sullivan finally fulfilled his life-long ambition to write a grand opera. Though his worldwide fame today rests on the still phenomenally popular comic operas he wrote with W S Gilbert, Sullivan considered himself to be primarily a 'serious' composer whose prodigious talents were wasted on such frivolities.
Posterity has disagreed: for years Ivanhoe has been relegated to a mere footnote. But now, thanks to this first professional recording, we have the chance to reassess a work that enjoyed an astonishing initial run in 1891 of 155 performances – the like of which composers today can only dream – and which stands as an important milestone in the development of English opera.
Sullivan frequently complained that he was fed-up with Gilbert's Topsy Turvy world (though his sparkling musical settings suggest otherwise) and longed for human emotion. So it was natural that Walter Scott's popular romantic novel, set in England at the time of the Crusades, appealed. The story (elements of which are familiar today as Robin Hood tales) had the additional attraction of nationalist themes well-tailored for Victorian tastes; arguably, these have made the opera less palatable to subsequent generations, but its swashbuckling excitement and engaging love-tangles are timelessly captivating.
Sullivan's epic score is highly inventive. Listeners expecting the bubbly tune-smithery of the Savoy Operas will generally be disappointed: there are some memorable lighter moments, such as Friar Tuck's "Ho, Jolly Jenkin" song, in a winsome "Olde English" style, but on the whole the music is enthrallingly serious. Substantial stretches, particularly those involving the menacing Templar Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert, have great Wagnerian depth, and the score is woven through with effective leitmotifs.
This new account, boasting a strong cast of top British singers, is thoroughly committed, with vibrant playing from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under the steady hand of David Lloyd-Jones. There are a few passages where inspiration seems to flag – either from composer or conductor – but in general this is a terrific achievement. From the lively pomp of the jousting scene, with its brilliant double chorus, to moments of exquisite tenderness and passion, to thrilling battles and powerful drama, this recording makes a compelling case for a monumental work that deserves a modern audience.

The White House announced Friday that former Air Line Pilots Association president Randy Babbitt has been nominated to become the next FAA Administrator for a five-year term. The appointment still has to be approved by the full Senate. Since Marion Blakey completed her term as FAA Administrator in 2007, the agency has been operating under two acting administrators. Currently a partner in the aviation consulting firm Oliver Wyman, Babbitt was an Eastern Air Lines pilot for more than 25 years and served two terms as president of the pilots' union in the 1990s. His nomination was warmly received by general aviation interests, as well as by the airlines and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen called him an excellent choice with a thorough knowledge of how the nation's aviation system works. National Air Transportation Association president James Coyne said Babbitt is an outstanding selection who knows the importance of ATC modernization.

Custom scripts
Okay, I just finished rambling in that thread about Linspire not being a real distro, but now I want to ask a question:
How does one get wlan0 and ndiswrapper to load on boot? Another user was kind enough to give me a shell script to use to get the wireless up and running on boot, but I have no idea how to use the darn thing, what to name it, or where to put it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For one weekend the city of Madison cares about house parties.
This weekend is the Mifflin Street Block Party, a tradition that began the same year as the Herald — 1969. That year, an attempted police shutdown of an illegal May Day block party degenerated into the Mifflin Street Riot, an event that in the years after became the Mifflin Street Block Party.
Of course, it was another Mifflin Street Riot that all but ended the annual Block Party. In 1996, partygoers built huge bonfires in the streets and then attacked the fire trucks that responded; eventually, the police broke up the scene in full riot gear.
Since then, the city has cracked down on the live music, closed street and blatant drunkenness that had embodied the Block Party; this year there will be anywhere from 20 to 40 police patrolling the street.
We say good for the city — house parties like those on Mifflin Street this weekend are dangerous situations for reasons relating to both high-risk drinking and physical safety.
What we want to know is why the city does not seem to care the rest of the year. House parties occur every weekend in Madison, yet police instead focus on patrolling the bars looking for underagers. Sure, the parties are not as concentrated as the Mifflin Street Block Party, but that does not make them any less dangerous. It is only a matter of time until a porch collapses or a house starts on fire, the consequences of which would be unthinkable.
Bars, on the other hand, are regulated and supervised environments designed to accommodate drinking — it is clear to us, between house parties and bars, which requires more police supervision. If the city is truly concerned about student safety, it would make house parties a number-one priority every weekend of the year, not just the first one of May.

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase, "you have a big head?" Well, in the insect world, it's more than just a euphemism. At least that's the case when it comes to big-headed ants. Considered to be one of the Sunshine State's worst pests, the colonies' major players all have noggins far bigger than their minor counterparts. On top of that, their heads are not in proportion with their 1/8 to 1/16 inch long bodies. As such, they just look strange.
Many attribute the odd looking ants' origins to the Mascarene Islands. However, their hitchhiking ways have resulted in colonies being established all over the world. So it is not uncommon for them to show up in shipping containers from places like Egypt, the Ivory Coast and France.
Another interesting thing about big-headed ants, besides their anatomy, is their foraging trails. They sometimes resemble that of another common South Florida pest, subterranean termites. In addition, the ants may decide to occasionally take up residence in abandoned termite mounds as well.
When they are not busy imitating South Florida's subterranean termites, the big-headed ants make take on the characteristics of fire ants too. In those instances, they'll leave little piles of dirt in the yard that look vaguely like small fire ant mounds.
It is well known that when the ants do venture out of their nests for food, they tend to head towards a variety of protein rich cuisine. Items that they typically like to put on the menu are liver, nuts and nut byproducts (i.e. peanut butter).
What's also interesting about these Palm Beach pests is that they tend to engage in nuptial flights twice a year and develop very large colonies. In South Florida, those two flight periods are winter and spring. So now is the time for Palm Beach residents to be on the lookout for big-headed ant activity.
Those residents that do notice big-headed ants traipsing about their South Florida properties should contact us right away. Our Pest control pros in Palm Beach may be reached by dialing (866) 611-2847.

18 Rabbits Liberated from Hipster Meat School in Portland
Overnight on January 8th, news broke on the "Portland Meat Collective" website that somewhere between 18 and 23 rabbits had disappeared from the backyard of one of their "instructors" the day before they were to be killed as part of a "how to" self-butchery class. Nearly a week passed without any further news or claim of responsibility.
Then, in a tragic development Friday, January 13th, news came that the
rabbits had been located and returned to the school to be killed.

Carl Heinrich Christian Adam was born November 20, 1832, in
Tiefenbach, Germany. He arrived in Galveston November 20, 1854, on the ship
Franziska and went from there to Kendall County. He was described as a
Freethinker who, distrusted organized religion. In Boerne on November 8, 1856,
he married Bertha Wendler. He was one of the original signers of the petition to
create Kendall County in 1859. He lived about one mile from Boerne on Johns
Road. He butchered cattle out of the back of his wagon and was helped in his
work by his brother, Conrad. The 1870 census lists him as a farmer, age 37, with
$400 worth of real estate and $450 worth of personal property.
He died in 1879 at the age of 47, leaving his wife, Bertha Augusta Elizabeth Wendler Adam and six children. Bertha, the daughter of Carl August Wendler and Katherine Elizabeth Koch, had arrived in Texas with her parents in 1855 and married Carl the following year. - submitted by Royce Adam Maltsberger.

Simeone takes over at struggling San Lorenzo
Former Argentina captain Diego Simeone took over as coach of struggling San Lorenzo on Tuesday with the aim of reviving both his new team and his own career.
Simeone, who won 106 caps, played at three World Cups and was famously involved in the sending-off of David Beckham during a World Cup match in 1998, replaced Miguel Angel Russo who quit a fortnight ago.
"I want an organised, dynamic and aggressive team," Simeone told a news conference after taking charge of his first training session. "Last night, I was so nervous I couldn't sleep."
Simeone, who, unshaven and wearing all-black, cuts a menacing figure on the touchline, made an impressive start to his coaching career when he won domestic titles with Estudiantes in 2006 and River Plate in the first half of 2008.
He was considered as a potential replacement for Argentina coach Alfio Basile when he quit in October but River's poor form and the surprise emergence of Diego Maradona as a candidate scuttled his chances.
The former Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Inter Milan and Lazio midfielder left River in November with the team bottom of the Apertura championship, his coaching reputation having taken a huge knock.
San Lorenzo have lost 10 of their last 13 games and are in disarray with most of the squad expected to leave when the season ends in June.
The only major Argentine club never to have won the South American Libertadores Cup, they were knocked out at the group stage two weeks ago and were greeted by protesting fans when they returned home.
Their domestic form has been equally dismal and Sunday's 3-0 defeat at lowly provincial side San Martin-Tucuman left them 18th in the Clausura championship with 10 points from 10 games.
Two championships - the Apertura and Clausura - are played in the Argentine season.

Living drug free starts at home by monitoring your medicine cabinet
Sun, 27 Apr 2014 01:25:00 GMT —
Across the Valley, the Drug Enforcement Agency teamed up with local police departments to host National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day to bring awareness of the rising problems amongst those using prescription medications to get a high.
It is known as the gateway to marijuana and other drugs.
Police said that parents should be more worried about the prescription drugs left around the house unattended because kids are taking them from home and selling them at school.
The motto is "living drug free starts at home.
People were invited to bring in those prescription medications they no longer need so police could properly dispose of them.
"A lot of people dispose of their medication by flushing it down the toilet, and what that does it gets into the water system, gets into the water shed and now you are kind of poisoning what we are drinking."
Officials said flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash, posing potential safety and health hazards.
Sgt. Rolando Garcia told Action 4 News that in the Valley police are aggressively targeting those people who are selling prescription medications illegally.
He said that people need to understand that by taking prescription medications that aren't for you can cause allergic reactions or an overdose.
For those who still have prescription medications at home that you want to get rid of, Sgt. Garcia said you can take them to your local police station.

Rhibosome – electronica synthesis
Rhibosome's musical roots are somewhat different from the norm. The group's members (Dave McKinney, Clayton Chipper and Chad Hedley) were originally a touring street theatre act, called Whak, which saw them performing on motorised wheely bins that were loaded with percussion, drums, a sampler and PA.
In 1998, the group was commissioned to produce the soundtrack for Glitch, which was an urban circus show in Fremantle. This provided an opportunity to produce more electronic music, and marked the genesis of Rhibosome: a three man electronic band with a fearsome array of equipment, encompassing samplers, effects units, turntables, a synthesiser, drum kit and percussion.
Since the group's inception the lads have been very busy indeed. Amongst other well-known acts, they have supported Coldcut, Rae and Christian, Faze Action, Adam Freeland, Wiseguys and Freestylers. They have also successfully installed themselves as stalwarts of the Fremantle scene, regularly performing under their main name, but also as the Big Ear DJs at popular venues in the port city.
On the recording front, however, Rhibosome have had only one release (Impulse, on Offworld Sounds), which attracted much praise both in Australia and internationally. This situation is shortly to be remedied, however, with Rhibosome poised to release their debut album. In anticipation of the release, ITM spoke to Rhibosome member Dave McKinney.
There are a lot of people waiting for the new album, having had little in the way of recording material making it into their homes since your beginnings. What have been the main reasons it has taken so long to get Rhiboflavin together?
We didn't actually get that much time to work on it in the beginning (of Rhibosome), as we were managing ourselves and performing a lot. It's only been the last six months or so that we've really had a chance to sit down and work on it solidly.
We found that we would write a song and it would morph and evolve. It's been a process of trial and error and we've only sort of really got the album happening in the last six months. It's been good in that way: each song has evolved massively, to the extent that some of the tracks are a complete remix of the way that they were originally.
We started gigging with the material that we had from the Glitch show, so each song was a relic of that experience. For example, some of our drum and bass tracks were written for a fast, knife throwing routine and that's why we wrote drum and bass, whereas other songs were slow and mellow because they were written for a body balance routine. So then those songs stayed in our live sets for ages and have sort of morphed into songs that are more musical and melodic and have more interesting arrangements.
Have there been any problems when it has come to recording tracks with samples you want to use (ie copyright)? Is this another reason why you have recreated similar sounds with other musicians?
Now that the album is finished, we're in the long process of waiting for everything to clear. It just takes forever… We're tending to really shy away from using samples now. This album has got a lot of vocal and spoken word samples, but not really any musical samples and all the new stuff we're working on is not really driven by the samples at all. I like, creatively, not having to use samples. It's interesting to use it as a scratch pad to start with an idea and then you can write the track around that, but then we'll remove it and replace it with something else.
The sample thing is cool, though. I've heard some really good albums, like the (one by) The Avalanches, which are great, but I think we are moving more towards doing things ourselves musically.
Do you think that getting musicians playing real instruments makes some sounds too clean, or takes away some of the raw roughness of grabbing some samples from other recordings?
Dirty sounding stuff is good, but it depends on the sort of style that you're doing. If you're writing a jazzy two step track you need a really clean sound, but if you're doing drum and bass or hip hop or whatever, dirty is good.
Could you describe the process by which Rhibosome will typically develop a new track?
We generally start with a groove, a beat. Then someone else might write a bassline for it, or add some keys and we just kind of stack things up until we think it's becoming enough of a song and then we might break it down and arrange it properly.
It's a little bit different from a normal band: you can't just go into your jam room and jam something out. You have to program stuff and come up with samples. So it's not as spontaneous (as with a traditional band).
There are stories of Rhibosome having literally left the crowd chanting for "more" in futility, for lack of having any more rehearsed material to play at the end of a set. How do you see the balance between the need to spend time on devising new material and rehearsing your existing stuff?
Well it takes us a long time to write a song, because we're experimenting, we don't really know what we're doing. So sometimes we stumble on something and other times it just takes ages to get something that people think is good enough to take out live.
I actually think that it would be really good for us to be more studio driven. To sit down and write a pile of new stuff and take it out live. But we don't find that we have enough time to do it all. If you're doing gigs as often as we've been doing… you haven't got any time to write new stuff.
The last six months or so have seen an explosion in the Perth club and electronica scenes, with new clubs, new dance music festivals and so on. Do you see Rhibosome and other local electronic live acts benefiting as much as DJ's and producers from this? Is their more opportunity growing out there for you guys as Rhibosome or as the Big Ear DJ's?
Definitely. We've been really fortunate. Perth is really receptive to dance music. I reckon a big reason is because of (local station) RTR FM. They've always got the best DJs presenting really upfront shows. The scene here is really fantastic now and it's because guys like Greg Packer, Ben Stinga and Jeremy Junk have been around for a long time pushing it forward.
Is there anyone that you would particularly like to collaborate with?
We sort of do our own thing, but there's a great thing called the Perth Producer Posse, which is sort of an email discussion list. Those guys are really active in pushing the Perth scene. Jase From Outta Space, particularly, is definitely a key player in the Perth production scene.
There is some really good stuff coming out of Perth at the moment. Greg Packer, Adrian Sardi and Shane Norton of Soundlab, for example, are all excellent producers.
The other guys who I reckon are great are Downsyde. They're an excellent team with a really strong stage presence and a wicked show. They're the first guys to really release hip hop from WA, and it's of a really good quality.
Can you tell us a little about your musical influences. How much of your sound is inspired by brand new electronica compared to funk, soul and jazz from many years ago?
As a band, it's pretty diverse. We've all come from World Music kind of circles and playing a lot of that stuff in bands and percussion groups. Funk and Soul would be really high on the list in terms of music we listen to, and I suppose that comes out in the sort of music we make.
You can see it in the way that our set is comprised of heaps of different stuff. I don't own any drum and bass, but I love it and I like playing it live. If I DJ out, it's funk, soul or hip hop, with a little bit of house – often quite jazzy, mellow stuff. We all like jazz as well. Clayton has come from playing in metal bands also: Rhibosome is a mish mash of all of that stuff.
During a typical Rhibosome performance, you (Clayton, Dave and Chad) will typically rotate roles sporadically (between the different percussion positions and the DJ position). Did you all have this versatility when you started Rhibosome?
We all evolved together. The band was never really conceived as it is. We would write a song and someone would just play the beats, but someone else would have to play the keys. So everyone got to try everything. It just fell into place.
When you're on stage, they're all very different roles. The drum pads control the bass lines, while the person on the keys supplies the more melodical musical loops and the vocals and the percussion provides the rhythmic combinations. They're quite different roles, so when you're doing each one on stage, you really feel like you're doing something different, so it's good fun. As we write more stuff, we try to keep it fairly balanced, so that no one is just stuck on the keys (for example).
You have been celebrated for the diversity of musical styles your performances, in contrast to the dance music scene that has become increasingly fragmented, with artists being pigeon-holed and punters becoming "educated" such that they expect to hear a certain style when they go out. What's your take on this?
Sometimes we don't know where we fit in. We drop down tempo stuff at a club at two in the morning and a DJ would never do that: it's full on cranking. We seem to somehow just get away with it.
I like that (variety) though. I like watching DJs who move around in their sets and play funk and drum and bass and hip hop and soul and whatever. I reckon that's really good.
Are you still intending to run "production workshops' in conjunction with any of your tours, as you have mentioned that you would like to in the past?
We've been wanting to do those for so long. What we do, and the way we do it, is pretty unique: no one really does live stuff the way we do it. Most people use sequencers, or whatever, and we don't use any. So we kind of want to show people how we do things.
People always come up and asked, so we would just like to be able to show people how we do it. We've done it already at schools, where we've held electronic music workshops.
We play our songs and break them down into their elements. We get the kids up and playing the samplers, scratching and on the kit. It's great, because they get a chance to physically do it. Not many people have access to the gear, especially if they're young. It's really interesting showing people how the parts fit together, to let people know how we do things. It's also good for us, because you really have to know what you're talking about in order to explain it to someone in a way that they can understand it.
You seem committed to remaining based in WA. Do you see yourselves as touring increasingly or are you content to remain very much based here, touring only to support new releases etc?
Yes, you have to. The way we run our band is that the live shows are our focus. So we need to be playing in front of people. I want people to see us playing, because that's what I enjoy as well (seeing other people play).
I like the interaction as well, with the crowd when you're on stage. You make a lot of sacrifices to perform live: it's hard to sound as good as your record. But that challenge is really good and so we will be touring increasingly.
Anything else to add?
Just that we're really proud to be from Perth. I think that it's really a good scene here. People are always looking to the States or to the UK for what's happening musically, either electronically or otherwise, but I actually think that people should look around a bit more in Perth because there's so much good stuff happening.
Rhibosome is currently having a live gig hiatus. The second half of the year will see them return to the eastern states before heading to the UK in September. After that it's back to Oz for Livid in October.
Check out the Rhibosome website for more information.

THE fiasco over the planned redesign of Glasgow's George Square has been branded "Carry On Council", by city SNP leader Graeme Hendry.
The criticism came following the decision to scrap the £15million project after a shortlist of six schemes was drawn up and a panel of judges selected the entry by Glasgow-born architect John McAslan.
However, within minutes of the announcement being made, council leader Gordon Matheson said plans for a major refurbishment of the area had been scrapped.
Instead, the council's executive committee was this week asked to agree that officials come back with alternative proposals. They will involve keeping the statues, improving the grass areas and replacing the unpopular red surface.
But Mr Henry said the project was like something from the Carry On comedy films.
He said: "This is a lesson for the council on how to mishandle things. It could be described as Carry On Council.
"We agree George Square needs refurbished because the red Tarmac is not a reflection of the city. But people did not like the lack of consultation, the removal of the statues and the lack of green space. There was not a desire for this massive redesign and complete overhaul.
"Some serious mistakes have been made in terms of the £100,000 the council spent on this."
Opponents of the plan had suggested the public should have been widely consulted on the winning scheme by Mr McAslan in the same way the people of Aberdeen were consulted on plans to revamp Union Terrace Gardens in the centre of the city.
But Mr Matheson said: "I am aware the SNP group's view was to have a referendum following the example of Aberdeen, but that cost £250,000.
"In Glasgow, the cost would have been well in excess of £500,000 and the administration did not support that.
"The administration has listened to the views of the people of Glasgow that emerged during this robust process.
"What became clear during that process, and in particular once the six designs were made public, was there is no consensus in favour of a radical redesign of George Square.
"The choice is to drive on with the view of the judging panel or to listen to the people. The decision of this administration is to listen to the people.
"We will be bringing forward proposals for a substantial facelift and investment in George Square.
"During this process there has been criticism of this council for not listening to the people. Now we are being criticised for listening to the people."

Dymatize collaborates with IMG Academy to give NBA Combine/Draft Training program the cutting edge
Thursday, June 27, is a day like any other for most people, but for a select few, that day is everything: the NBA Draft. This is the day when former collegiate basketball players will know if the time and hard work will be rewarded with a coveted spot on a team in the National Basketball Association. At IMG Academy, athletes in the NBA Combine/Draft Training program have been maximizing their preparation time leading up to the draft since finishing their collegiate careers. Speed and movement; strength training; and nutrition are just a few areas in which the players work to improve during their time at IMG academy. While the soon-to-be professional athletes are pushing their bodies to new heights, the IMG Academy nutrition staff and Dymatize, a leading producer of sports nutrition supplements, have been working together to provide the most innovative and effective supplementation program available to ensure the athletes are maximizing their gains.
"We are passionate about empowering professional athletes to reach their performance goals and, through collaboration with the IMG nutrition staff, we have identified the most relevant and effective supplements for the NBA hopefuls," remarked Dr. Robert Wildman, Chief Science Officer, Dymatize. "We are thrilled to be able to have a positive impact with IMG professional athletes, and are looking forward to developing new products to enhance their training at the academy and throughout their professional careers."
The NBA trainees at IMG Academy train six days a week for nearly eight hours a day, and while training is important; it means nothing without proper recovery. Every day, the athletes have dedicated time for rest, recovery and supplementation. Within their first week, Stephanie Wilson, Head of Nutrition at IMG Academy, conducts an individual nutrition and supplementation assessment and then constructs a unique plan for each athlete.
"Dymatize has allowed us to provide customized products that are specific to each athlete's goals and performance needs," Wilson explained. "We spent a great deal of time with the Dymatize staff determining the most effective combination of supplements to help maximize each trainee's athletic performance and recovery time. Supplementation with Dymatize Nutrition has had a significant impact on our training program by providing cutting edge supplements in a safe form with flavors that the athletes love."
Last winter, Dymatize Nutrition joined the growing roster of IMG Academy sponsors, providing its professional athlete trainees with cutting-edge, sports tailored supplements and to collaborate with the IMG Academy staff to create innovative product lines for elite athletes. Players' supplementation plans include branched chain amino acids (BCAAs); micronized creatine; beta alanine; and L-glutamine. Each supplement was strategically selected by IMG Academy and Dymatize to provide essential benefits, such as delaying fatigue so that the athletes can work not only harder, but longer. Dymatize supplements also increase muscle strength and boost protein synthesis to speed muscle recovery. IMG Academy has the knowledge and training resources to help these athletes reach their full potential, and Dymatize has the supplementation to get them there. Together they are setting the standard for professional athlete supplementation.

Over 430 Cadence Community blog posts appeared in 2011, in categories including Industry Insights, Functional Verification, PCB Design, System Design & Verification, Custom IC, Digital Implementation, RF, Mixed Signal, and Low Power. By looking at the most widely-read posts, we can get a picture of what topics most excited readers in 2011. Here's a listing, in order, of the ten most widely read blog posts of 2011 (not including blogs posted in prior years).
User View: Is e or SystemVerilog Best for Constrained-Random Verification?
It's not a surprise that this Industry Insights post was our most-read 2011 blog post - the e language has a devoted following and many users are passionate about it. In this post Geoffrey Faurie, a member of the Functional Verification Group at STMicroelectronics, discussed the pros and cons of e compared to SystemVerilog. The post attracted numerous comments both on the blog posting itself and in several LinkedIn groups.
Wide I/O Memory and 3D ICs - A New Dimension for Mobile Devices
3D-ICs were a hot topic in 2011, and wide I/O memory, a specification under development by JEDEC, will be a major driver of this new technology. This Industry Insights post explains why the March 28 Cadence announcement of the first wide I/O memory controller IP will help spur the coming era of 3D integration.
TLM 2.0, UVM 1.0 and Functional Verification
In this Functional Verification blog post, Sharon Rosenberg provides a lengthy update on the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and Transaction Level Modeling (TLM) standards from an Accellera tutorial at the DVCon conference in February. Rosenberg is co-author of the Cadence-published Practical Guide to Adopting the Universal Verification Methodology.
Allegro 16.5 Powers up Allegro PCB PDN Analysis
Much of the low power discussion has focused on the chip level, but power is a big concern for packages and boards as well. The Allegro 16.5 power delivery network (PDN) feature provides a unique PCB design and analysis capability. This PCB Design blog post by Team Allegro explains why.
OrCAD Capture Marketplace - An Interactive, Application-Driven Approach to EDA
Representing a new way of providing EDA technology, the OrCAD Capture Marketplace is a web-based capability within the OrCAD Capture environment that provides an on-line store with free and paid plug-in tools, or "apps." This Industry Insights blog post introduces it and shows what the Marketplace includes.
The Tale of the Silicon Re-Spin and the Bug That Got Away
Readers enjoy real-life engineering stories, and this Functional Verification blog by Tom Anderson provides one. Unfortunately this post does not have a happy ending; it's the tale of the bug that got away and required a silicon re-spin to fix. It involves a FIFO error that could have been caught with a tool that does clock-domain crossing (CDC) checks. Such tools are available today, but not at the time of this story.
SKILL for the Skilled: What is SKILL++?
The Cadence SKILL language is a key value-add for users of the Virtuoso custom/analog and Allegro PCB platforms, and SKILL expert Jim Newton has written a number of informative "SKILL for the Skilled" posts for the Custom IC blog. This post introduces SKILL++, a subset of the language, and shows how to implement a design hierarchy traversal engine in SKILL++.
Why Cadence Bought Azuro - A Closer Look
Cadence announced July 12 its acquisition of Azuro, a provider of "clock concurrent optimization technology" (ccopt). This Industry Insights post shows how Azuro technology goes far beyond clock tree synthesis to provide a new IC physical implementation approach that offers compelling power, performance, and area advantages.
Video Easter Egg: Incisive Formal Verifier and SVA driving a Rubik's Cube robot
Team Verify's Apurva Kalia, Manu Chopra, and Suman Ray of the Incisive R&D team created a Rubik's Cube solving Lego robot. However, unlike other such robots, the brain of this one is actually a single SystemVeriliog assertion. This entertaining Functional Verification video blog shows how it works.
User View: Where e Outshines SystemVerilog For Functional Verification
Here's another e and SystemVerilog perspective, this time from Michael Blech, a verification manager at PMC-Sierra's Fiber to the Home (FTTH) division. A read of this Industry Insights blog post shows why e will be around for a long time to come.
Thanks for reading Cadence Community blogs in 2011! I'm looking forward to blogging in 2012.

Shooting from the Lip/Monday edition
Looking back at a weekend of televised sports ...
Most coverage
It hit me late Saturday afternoon: Too many college football games are on television. This revelation occurred as I was trying to keep track of the Gators-South Carolina, Miami-North Carolina, Ohio State-Iowa and USC-Stanford games at the same time. If you're trying to keep track of four games, you quickly realize that you can't even keep track of one.
Every Saturday is the same. It starts with a slew of games at noon, most which are bad and only of interest to the fans of the schools playing in them. It's difficult to find one game that's any good. Then come the 3:30 games, and too many of them are good to zero in on one. Later, it's prime time, which usually has two or three really good games.
If you're a die-hard fan of one school, it's easy. You watch just your team. But if you're a general college football fan, or your team isn't on (or your team isn't all that good), deciding what to watch is nearly impossible. So you flip around and soon realize that you can't enjoy games like you really want to. You can't follow trends, you can't follow developing story lines, you can't get a feel for which team is playing better. You're just watching a bunch of plays until you change the channel and watch a bunch more.
Now, it seems like a silly complaint, and, yes, I'd rather have too many games on than not enough. It's a buffet, and the viewer can choose what to put on his or her plate. But Saturday, cable alone had 26 games, and that doesn't count games you could get if you also pay extra to get the Big Ten Network and some of the Fox regional college channels. You might think that having 30-some games available is like a dream for college football fans. But for some of us, it can turn into a nightmare. To paraphrase Yogi Berra, so many games are on that you can't watch them.
Worst overturned call
Not only did the Bucs get a raw deal on an overturned call Sunday, another Tampa Bay team suffered a bum call, too. The Lightning had a victory taken away when officials ruled that Paul Szczechura interfered with Kings goalie Jonathan Quick on Saturday even though replays clearly showed he was knocked into Quick by a Kings defenseman.
Usually, Lightning analyst Bobby "The Chief'' Taylor doesn't need much to get going on the officials, but Saturday his anger was justified, and priceless: "It's amazing to me how incompetent these guys are,' he said.
Good job by the Lightning Live postgame show to dedicate 20 minutes or so to the controversy, and nice hustle by announcer Rick Peckham to conduct a comprehensive interview with Szczechura. It would have been nice if analyst Chris Dingman had done a little less griping and a little more analysis of the play and the rule invoked, but the show was worth watching.
Best speculation
The clock might be ticking on Charlie Weis' career at Notre Dame. He is now 35-25 with the Irish, the record that got Bob Davie fired by the school and the winning percentage that got Tyrone Willingham fired. And the Irish have tough games left against Connecticut and at Stanford. ESPN College GameDay analyst Lee Corso said that perhaps part of Notre Dame's problem is that neither Davie nor Weis had been a head coach before either was hired. Corso has two leading candidates to replace Weis if he gets fired: Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly and, the biggest name of all, former Bucs coach Jon Gruden.
When host Chris Fowler threw out the name of Gators coach Urban Meyer, Corso immediately said no, and analyst Kirk Herbstreit said, "Urban Meyer will never leave Florida to go to Notre Dame.''
Strongest opinion
CBS's Shannon Sharpe talking about the Bengals' Chad Ochocinco being fined $20,000 for pretending to bribe an official with a dollar bill during a game last week: "I think the NFL should fine Chad Ochocinco $250,000. … He's not getting the message. A $1 bribe is the same as a $20,000 fine to him. It's nothing; $200,000 sends the message. Chad will stop these shenanigans. He's getting ridiculous with it.''
Best coverage
It's really too bad that Bright House Networks, which provides cable for much of the bay area, including most of Pinellas County, doesn't carry the NFL Network, because the NFL Network's game coverage might be better than that of Fox, NBC, CBS and ESPN. The network's season-debut Thursday game between the 49ers and Bears was compelling to watch even though it was a dud on the field, with the 49ers winning 10-6. The broadcast team of Bob Papa and Matt Millen is top notch, but amazing on-field camera access pushes the NFL Network's coverage over the top. The production is first-rate.
Now, unless your favorite team is playing in the Thursday night game, you probably don't miss the NFL Network. But if you're an NFL fan in general, you don't know what you're missing. And that's too bad, because what you're missing is really, really good.
Best of the weekend
Best scenario: On ESPN's Sports Reporters on Sunday, Miami Herald columnist Israel Gutierrez suggested that LeBron James could end up playing with the Heat, not the Cavs or Knicks, next season.
Best feature: Paula Lavigne's report on the use of text messaging as an aide for law enforcement at Auburn football games on ESPN's Outside the Lines on Sunday.
Best network: CBS College Sports Network had a rare weekend in the spotlight and took full advantage with good broadcasts of UCF-Houston and TCU-Utah football games.
Best uniforms: South Carolina wearing camouflage football uniforms to salute the military, with labels such as "Integrity'' and "Service'' on the back where the player's name usually is.
Best school: Largo High gets our vote with a pair of former running backs. Graduate Brynn Harvey scored three touchdowns in UCF's upset of Houston, and former star Dexter McCluster had four touchdowns, 282 rushing yards and a school-record 324 all-purpose yards in Mississippi's victory against Tennessee.
Best local story gone international
During Saturday's Hockey Night in Canada pregame show, the Nov. 5 hit on which Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman suffered a concussion came up in an interview with NHL vice president Colin Campbell. Campbell said a replay of Chris Neil's hit was shown in a meeting of the league's general managers and it was an example of a good, clean hit.
"There wasn't one manager in the room who felt this hit was illegal,'' Campbell said. "In fact, they felt this was the type of hit we want in hockey.''
Three things that popped into my head
1. How come Gators coach Urban Meyer is always seen hugging quarterback Tim Tebow but you never seem him hugging any of his other players? Just wondering.
2. How depressing is it that USF is going to end up in the St. Petersburg Bowl again?
3. I better read within the next week that a fight has been set between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.

After a gap of nearly three months, Infosys had on Friday toppled RIL as most influential stock, measured in terms of the weightage on the market barometer index Sensex. Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) had been consistently enjoying its pole position for many years, till December 2011. However, RIL slipped below Infosys on many occasions for brief periods during December 2011, but again regained this position at the beginning of this year.

Kentucky Graduates Picked As the Top Crop in Future Agribusiness
[Lexington, Ky.] – Five Kentucky graduates have joined an elite class of 21 emerging leaders in global agribusiness as inductees to the Alltech Graduate Program, giving Kentucky the largest representation of any state or country around the world.
The Alltech Graduate Program, which kicked off Nov. 26 at Alltech's European Headquarters in Ireland, will train talented agribusiness graduates through year-long projects at one of 128 Alltech offices around the world. Twenty-one graduates were selected for the program from a competitive pool of 1,550 applicants from around the globe. After a rigorous testing and interview process conducted in Europe, the inaugural class of graduates was revealed in May. With five representatives, Kentucky produced the highest number of accepted graduates among both states and countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, India, Estonia, Canada and the United States.
The Kentucky Alltech Graduates are:
- Danielle Palmer, University of Kentucky
- Rebecca Noble, University of Kentucky and the London School of Economics & Political Science
- Daniel Grubb, Georgetown College
- Bethany Brashears, University of Kentucky
- Ashley Hamilton Baker, University of Auburn and the University of Guadalajara, Mexico (of Versailles, Ky.)
"From Canada to India, applicants for the first-ever class of the Alltech Graduate Program poured in from all over the world," said Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech. "After a rigorous evaluation, five Kentuckians emerged as top talent in the future of agribusiness. Kentuckians are among the exceptional young minds who will lead the charge in finding solutions to feed the future – and I couldn't be more proud."
Through the program, this elite group will pursue further knowledge in one of Alltech's areas of business, including agribusiness, crop science, algae and fermentation. Graduates will attend lectures for two weeks at Alltech's European Headquarters and the UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School. They will travel to Nicholasville, Ky., for a week of further training at Alltech's Global Headquarters before dispersing to their assigned project locations. Graduates will study topics including sustainable energy, communications, marketing and international business.

There's always the possibility that Aaron Rodgers' Twitter account has been "hacked," but if not, the Packers' quarterback is starting his offseason by tweeting some bizarre thoughts.
Rodgers and the Packers were knocked out of the playoffs last week by the 49ers, but he was busy this Saturday night tweeting his favorite Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey quotes about cowboys.
I think somebody should come up with a way to breed a very large shrimp......—
Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) January 20, 2013
....That way, you could ride him, then after you camped at night, you could eat him. How about it, science?—
Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) January 20, 2013
You can't tell me that cowboys, when they're branding cattle.....—
Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) January 20, 2013
....don't sort of "accidentally" brand each other every once in a while. It's their way of letting off stress.—
Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) January 20, 2013
Before Saturday, Rodgers hadn't tweeted since Aug. 6. He announced his return to Twitter, and then answered some fan questions earlier in the day.
Good to be back with all of you in Twitter land! Thanks to all of our amazing Packer Fans for your continued support this year, we love you!—
Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) January 19, 2013
We'll wait and see if the tweets get deleted or if Rodgers cries "hacked." But if not, it may be worth adding the quarterback to your Twitter feed if he stays this entertaining.

HEARTS will be skipping a beat this Valentine's weekend when a terrifying new event is held at a secret location near Stourbridge.
Horror fans will feel like they are living their own scary movie according to the creators of the Evil Rising interactive chase game which made its debut in Worcester last Halloween.
The ghoul, zombie, blood and gore filled scare soiree proved such a success that another is to be held from February 15 to 19 at a top secret location near Stourbridge.
Organisers will only reveal where fear junkies should meet up once they have signed up for the nerve-jangling event which uses actors and special effects to guide participants on a terrifying one to two-hour tour.
Worcestershire businessman Scott Jenkins, who devised the Evil Rising concept after visiting the London dungeons with his family, said: "We feel the public need something else other than going to the movies or the pub, especially in these turbulent times.
"We do things never before attempted and take traditional formats such as murder mystery to a whole new level."
"We had two national review companies come to review the event in Worcester and both agreed it was the best of its kind in the UK.
"So after the sell-out success we decided to do another one with a whole new story line and this time around it's 100 per cent inside."
The latest chilling challenge centres around a fictional paranormal investigator and his team sent to investigate creepy goings on at an old army bunker which, legend has it, was welded shut at the end of WWII to keep inside a rogue British soldier who was thought to have murdered his comrades and removed their hearts from their chests.
Creative director Mr Jenkins said: "We have gone to huge efforts in terms of detail and scripts. This event is not for the faint-hearted, but those who have the stomach for something new, inventive and a little bit scary. They will have a night they will never forget."
Tickets for the event cost £20 each. To find out more check out website www.evilrising.co.uk

See that Trixie? Shes so excited. 50 million of you came here just for her after all! What a showmare.
(At least that's what we tell her. She doesn't shut up otherwise.)
Great and Powerful ponies aside, thank you everyone for following the blog! EQD wouldn't be anything without it's massive community of content creating bronies to back it up. I remember way back when I first created the site, not knowing if we would even see a season two. We were all pretty worried whenever ratings would come in. That sure did end quickly though! All the ponies in this fandom are CRAZY!
I think Friendship is Magic in general is breaking new ground in terms of internet cultural phenomena. Lauren Faust and Jayson Thiessen both commented on that. The entire FiM team deserves mad props for what their creation accomplished. They very easily could have slacked off and thrown out the same toy commercial commercials that the last three generations suffered from. Instead, they went all out, and I'm sure TV studios everywhere are sitting back in amazement at what true quality can do.
And to think... It's all about colorful ponies. I doubt many of you expected to be here a year ago. I wouldn't have it any other way though!
The one year anniversary of the show is on the 10th. Hopefully we will find some time to do something cool for it. Regardless though, lets aim for 100 million! This community will take over the INTERNET at the rate we are going.

Hi. Any advice on the following would be much appreciated... Is it possible to run 2 instances of postgres on the same machine with different data directory, pg_hba.conf, port etc? I'm wondering this really for test reasons and anticipating having 2 postgres connections with different security implications which might eventually run on separate servers. Are there any issues with the number of databases created? As well as one large one for browser access I would like to have many small client specific db's for direct ODBC connections. Has any one tried stress testing with many ODBC connections to postgres (obviously i can do this myself and will!)? Thanks for any help. Jai

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Orlando, FL, United States, 2010/03/02 - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today launches the Evolution Array, a new UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer driven by photodiode array (PDA) technology that offers dramatic improvements in laboratory throughput.
Designed for fast acquisition of full-spectrum UV-Vis data, the Thermo Scientific Evolution Array delivers industry-leading performance for rapid and accurate method development and sample analysis in QA/QC, pharmaceutical, life science, materials science and educational laboratories. This state-of-the-art UV-Vis spectrophotometer is showcased at the Thermo Scientific booth 2757 at PITTCON 2010, being held February 28 - March 5 in Orlando.
The Evolution Array provides significant time advantages. By utilizing advanced photodiode array technology, the new instrument offers significant advantages with regards to full-spectrum data acquisition and sample throughput compared to traditional dispersive, monochromator-based spectrophotometers. Full spectrum data is acquired at less than one second for routine data applications and can be acquired at nearly 50 points per second for advanced kinetics applications.
The system provides simultaneous detection of all wavelengths throughout the UV and visible regions of the spectrum, allowing a nearly instantaneous display of a full absorbance spectrum from 190-1100 nm. Full-spectrum analysis of every standard and sample allows users to create standard curves, plot 3D graphical displays and examine samples at any wavelength at any time - greatly enabling analytical method development.
Featuring a mechanical shutter as its only moving part and a 10,000-hour tungsten lamp, the robust design of the Evolution Array enables longer uninterrupted operation, further increasing analytical speed. In addition, a complete line of accessories, including automated cell changers and temperature control and solid sample accessories, are available to facilitate system configuration according to specific laboratory requirements.
The Evolution Array operates on the Thermo Scientific VISIONcollect software to facilitate complete instrument and accessory control as well as efficient data collection, analysis and reporting. From routine quantitative analysis to 3D-spectrum kinetics, the software provides a spectrum radar visualization tool that allows users to view the entire active spectrum at a glance without interrupting work in the main display window. Additional advanced software options are available for life science, film thickness and color applications. For regulated laboratories, the VISIONcollect software is designed to enable data handling in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
For more information about the Thermo Scientific Evolution Array UV-Vis spectrophotometer, as well as other Thermo Scientific products, please visit the Thermo Scientific booth 2757 at PITTCON 2010.
