There's a long tradition in American sports of athletes creating questionable music videos. The 1985 Chicago Bears gave us "The Super Bowl Shuffle", Shaquille O'Neal was guilty of several "classic" musical moments and sadly the sport of soccer hasn't been free of this kind of special kind of brilliance either.
Clint Dempsey had the infamous "Don't Tread" video and the 1990 US World Cup team participated in a song by Def Jef and DJ Eric Vaughan. I guess it was only a matter of time before MLS players joined this glorious fraternity and created a particularly bad video of their own.
The big difference though is that the All-Stars weren't trying to make a serious song. They were having fun and that makes the video great. Before I say anymore, check out the video as Funny or Die got together with Graham Zusi, Jack McInerney, Omar Gonzalez, Kyle Beckerman, Chris Wondolowski, Mike Magee and Brad Davis to give us, "We're Better than the Best".
Yes this video is terrible, yet it works because unlike the '90 World Cup video and Dempsey's attempt at rapping, it's meant to be a joke. They aren't taking themselves seriously at all and that makes it fun and endearing.
They're also clearly mocking previous rap attempts by athletes which just adds to the fun and genius.
That fact makes "We're Better Than the Best" better than the rest because these guys weren't trying to make a good music video, they were having fun and trying to make people laugh. It proves that athletes should always try to keep an element of humor when they delve into the musical world.
Just in case you've never seen the other "fantastic" moments in the history of American soccer fusing with music, here's some more videos for your enjoyment.
You're welcome. You can thank me later.

Today marked the start of the signup period for Minot flood victims to receive federal grants to help in rebuilding.
The city is planning to use five million dollars from the latest batch of Community Development Block Grant funds to make awards to homeowners who repaired or rebuilt within one year of the flood.
But there are questions still swirling around the plan - including whether or not most people will qualify for the money.
Jim Olson reports.
The plan devised by the City of Minot seems simple - provide up to ten thousand dollars to homeowners in the city who got to work and repaired or rebuilt their flood damaged homes within one year of the June, 2011 flood. But it is facing some questions right now.
For example, will the city get final permission from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the plan? The answer to that is on hold due to the current partial shutdown of the federal government.
(Cindy Hemphill, Minot City Finance Director) "The city is in limbo. We were just one day off when the government shut down that they would have been obligated to approve our action plan. We can't move forward with appropriating or spending any of those funds until the federal government comes back and our plan is approved."
More questions? What will the timing be for receiving and distributing the funds?
And who will qualify to receive a CDBG grant?
That last question could prove to be a big one because of the limitations imposed by the federal government.
The Stafford Act says: "no person shall receive assistance for any part of such loss as to which he has received financial assistance under any other program or from insurance or any other source." That's the "duplication of benefits" phrase we've heard in relation to flood assistance.
City officials have been told that the financial assistance that disqualifies a person for a grant includes low-interest loans awarded to flood victims by the federal and state governments.
And if that limitation holds up, city finance director Cindy Hemphill says it could severely limit who qualifies for these new grant funds.
(Cindy Hemphill, Minot City Finance Director) "We don't know whether people have taken personal loans or if they've had to rely 100% on their FEMA funds and SBA loans. If it's 100% FEMA funds and SBA loans then that could potentially be a full duplication of funds and they would not be entitled to any of this reimbursement money."
Here's an example: Say my house sustained $100,000 in damage from the flood. FEMA paid me $30,000 in a grant, and the Small Business Administration awarded me a loan for $70,000. That means if I spent $100,000 in repairing my home, I would not qualify for any of the new grant money since all of my loss was offset by what is considered to be financial assistance - even though I have to repay the $70,000 loan. I would have had a $70,000 loss from the flood but would not be able to get any of the federal grant money now being offered. The only way I'd qualify for any of the grant money is if I spent my own money to make improvements beyond the $100,000 loss. Hemphill says if the applications to the city show many people are in that predicament, the city may be able to ask the federal government to change its restrictions on loans counting against a flood victim's balance sheet.
(Cindy Hemphill, Minot City Finance Director) "We have to demonstrate to them that this is the plan and you've made funds available for the reimbursement program but this is the situation in Minot, North Dakota and this is why we need your help to get a waiver or exception or whatever is necessary so we can help individuals harmed by the flood."
And there's another major question - will the city be able to find enough low-to-moderate income homeowners to qualify for the grants? The city is required by HUD to award 51% of the funds to people in the low to moderate income bracket.
(Cindy Hemphill, Minot City Finance Director) "There's a lot of challenges with this program. It sounds great, there's opportunity for reimbursement but we have to get through the challenges and the hurdles."
Even with the questions, Hemphill urges all Minot residents who sustained flood damage to their primary residence, and who made repairs within one year, to make application as soon as possible - whether they think they might qualify for funds or not. That way, the city may be able to go to the federal government and seek changes in the requirements. The website to register is: MinotReimb.com.
Chantelle Pepple says she hopes people will have a greater appreciation for what "this monster took from this world and my family."

Powdery soft sand, a quaint Main Street, and mansions that line the beach, Seal Beach is the perfect California town. But in December, the city banned any new short-term vacation rentals because many homeowners complained about loud parties and sanitation issues at the rentals.
Beverly Rallis lives next door to one of those vacation rentals, she says the house continues to be rented out illegally despite the ban. Beverly says 12 to 14 people stay at the house next door at one time. "They're excited they come to the beach they're enjoying it they invite family, they invite friends. And this is not zoned, its not a business zone," said Rallis.
Now that it's summer and the height of the vacation rental season FOX 11 wanted to know if the ban working? Beverly says no, "Nothing's changed next door. Nothing has changed."
Others wonder if the ban sends the wrong message to tourists.
"I think it's maybe a little short sighted of beach communities to do that. Because let's face it, you live where everybody wants to be and part of the glory of living here and the beauty of living here, is being able to share that with people," said Maryanne Dell from Cypress.
City Council woman Ellery Deaton says Seal Beach is very welcoming to tourists. "We actually have 14 approved vacation rentals and we were voted the 4th friendliest city by Forbes Magazine, because we welcome the tourist to Seal Beach and we want them here," said Deaton.
Kye Osti owns 3 of the 14 permits that were approved before the ordinance was passed and he completely disagrees with the ban.
"I was upset by it, because I'm not one to have the attitude 'I have mine and you don't have yours'," said Kye, he adds that he's had little to no issues or complaints about his renters.
But Barbara Barton, another homeowner, says not all rental properties are alike. "My sliders were locked, but they cut the screen got in took my diamond watch my diamond ring cash and left," she said about a break-in that happened at her home.
Barbara fears short term renters who are there one day and gone the next, may be to blame.
But Kye says the ban may be creating more problems than it's solving. Websites like vrbo.com have pages and pages of short-term rentals available in Seal Beach. And all but 14 of them are now illegal.
"It bothers me, and I know that they're out there because we'll have people call us and say hey this house is not going to charge us tax can you not charge us tax," said Kye.
Council Woman Deaton says Seal Beach needs time to figure out how to enforce the new ordinance. For now they rely on neighbors to report illegal rentals, and violators will face fines or other punishments.

Flooding fears for Radlett as River Colne levels remain high
5:10pm Friday 31st January 2014 in News By Adam Binnie, Web content editor
More rain this afternoon could result in low-level flooding in Radlett.
Although levels on the River Colne have steadied overnight, they still remain high.
The Environment Agency has warned that there is still standing water and rivers are "very sensitive" to further significant rain, which is expected this afternoon.
This could result in further flooding to lower lying land, roads and gardens next to the river. Surface water flooding can also be expected in some locations.

|Slideshow: Progress office circa 1973
|Thursday, January 31, 2013 7:38 PM
Our staff ran across these photos of the Paulding Progress office taken by veteran photographer A.E. "Doc" Allensworth around 1973. Do you remember any of these staff members? The news office was in an old building that fronted Williams Street; that portion was later demolished and the area where the presses were located was remodeled into the offices we have today. We suspect that Doc shot some of these photos to finish off a roll of film. Lucky for us that he did.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
When looking up at the top of Middle Rock from the base of the south face one can't help but notice this steep, short face of awesome chicken heads. Cowboy Bob's Chicken Head Delight ascends straight up the face through some of the coolest chicken heads I've ever pulled down on. Unfortunately, the first half of the route is easy climbing before switching to the steep, featured climbing--you'll be wishing it was longer.
Start at the west end of the south face of Middle Rock. Look for the huge chicken head on the sky line...that's the destination.
Pretty light rack...I placed a red link cam, a green C3, clipped the fixed nut, a yellow C3 and slung a couple of chicken heads. Small to medium nuts would also be beneficial.
Walk off from the top. It looks like you might could go straight down west from the top of the route but we hiked east for a good bit and then headed down a level back west and continued west to basically the base of the Alien.

By Kelly Lafferty Kokomo Tribune
Kokomo Tribune
---- — After high school sophomore Geraldean "Jerry" Kilmer moved from Rochester to Logansport, she started riding the city bus to Logansport High School. It was on that bus when she first noticed high school junior, Robert "Bob" Bruner. She also noticed it was another girl who saved Bob a seat on the bus, and went on to notice he talked to that girl a lot. Jerry didn't particularly like that. "I didn't even know him," Jerry said. "For some reason, it just irked me. I don't know why." There were other guys who rode the bus, but Jerry didn't care about them. It was Bob who she had her eye on. Conversations she tried starting with Bob on the bus fizzled out quickly. "I was trying to get him to talk to me," Jerry said. "I asked where to buy a class ring, and he said, 'The jewelry store.'" It wasn't until Jerry was a senior in high school, and Bob was out of high school, when things started to change. Bob started frequenting the drugstore Jerry worked at in Logansport. She worked at the soda fountain. "I liked her," Bob said. "She was cute." If the soda fountain's ice cream was too hard, Bob would help Jerry scoop it. She thought he was very courteous. "He was just nice and gentlemanly and strong," Jerry said. He showed those qualities when he found out that a boy in high school who had a crush on Jerry would punch her in the arm every time he saw her in the halls. Once Bob heard that was happening, he got ahold of the boy and told him to leave her alone. "That kinda impressed me," Jerry said. Bob showed up at the drugstore's soda fountain more often over the next several months to see Jerry before he asked her out on a date. "I was happy," Jerry said. "I didn't think he was that much into me until he asked me out on a date." Their first date was in September 1945 to a murder mystery movie called "Ten Little Indians." The pair would attend motorcycle races and high school football games as well as go to movies and Lake Cicott together. Neither had really dated a lot of people before they met each other. "I played sports a lot," Bob said. "I was more interested in sports than I was girls at the time. She was never into sports and I was a sports nut." "I told him he should've married a gym teacher," Jerry joked. But it wasn't a gym teacher Bob wanted to marry. He wanted to marry Jerry. "I liked her looks and I liked to be around her," Bob said. "There was chemistry there." One night on their way to get frozen custard, Bob pulled over to the curb and asked Jerry to marry him. He gave her a diamond ring. Jerry was surprised. She thought they were just going for ice cream. She'd already put her hair up in curlers for the night. But she said yes. Not long after their engagement, Bob was drafted into the Army. He had boot camp in Maryland, then Georgia. "Uncle Sam says go and you went," Jerry said. "I missed [Bob]." A few months went by and Bob came home to Logansport on a leave from Georgia. From there, he went to California and was sent to Japan for about nine months. While he was in Japan, the engaged couple wrote to each other every day. Their letters weren't particularly mushy. They just wrote down what they did that day. Their letter-writing went on for months until Jerry's letters to Bob were returning to her. "I kept thinking: 'What in the heck is wrong,'" she said. She was still receiving current letters from Bob, so she would just bundle up her returned letters and try sending them to him again. She didn't know that Bob had a surprise in store for her. He was coming home. Bob had friends who were still in Japan sending Jerry his letters that he wrote before he left for the journey back home. Bob even made sure to pay attention to little details, like the date he put on his letters. "I'd put the date on them so she thought that was the date I wrote them," he said. Jerry had no idea. "It never occurred to me he was pulling a sneaky on me," she said. Jerry continued with her daily routine working at the drugstore's soda fountain, without the slightest suspicion of Bob's plan to surprise her by coming home. On one of these days, her routine of walking to the drugstore from her house was disrupted. "I thought I saw him walking down the street," Jerry said. "I ran to the corner and yelled 'Bob! Bob!' And there was no one there. No one there at all. I swore I saw him walking down the street." Jerry says it must have been a premonition because the next day, Bob returned home. The surprise worked. Jerry was thrilled and said there was a lot of hugging and kissing. The couple was happy to be reunited again, but Jerry wanted to be absolutely sure Bob was the one for her. "I wondered if I was just in love because he was in the Army and it was romantic, or if I really liked him," she said. "I wanted to be sure it wasn't the thrill of the war or the uniforms." So she went out with another guy on a company picnic. The guy she was with thought he saw Bob while they were out so he slid down on the seat of the car – hoping to remain unseen. Even though Bob wasn't there, Jerry immediately made up her mind. "I thought that did it," she said. "I knew I liked Bob." Bob and Jerry saved money and worked on building a house for two years until they got married July 8, 1948 at Rochester Baptist Church when they were both 20. Three years later, they bought their first TV. "Back then you didn't have a lot of money to spend," Jerry said. "It was kind of a big expenditure. It was a big deal." The Bruners had three children: two girls and one boy, and the couple liked spending time with their family by going out for ice cream, playing with their kids, or playing cards at Bob's mom's house. They moved to Converse in 1957 and have lived there since. "We still laugh and like the same shows and do the same things," Jerry said. The Bruners said communication has always been important in their household. "Even if they don't like what you're going to say, don't lie," Jerry said. "I can talk to him about anything and everything." Jerry said she lied to Bob once about pumping gas in the car. She said she pumped gas when she really didn't. "That was the only time I ever lied to him in 65 years," she said. Jerry and Bob agree they never argued much during their marriage. "He never gets mad or blows up," Jerry said. "If something happens, it happens. It's not all Cleaver-family style. "You're going to have disagreements." "Don't go to bed mad," Bob said. "Don't keep anything in your head. Just let it go, 'cause you'll be sitting there steaming and that's not good." Their 65 years of marriage have been full of highs and lows, but the Bruners say they'd do it all again and wouldn't change a thing. The only thing they wonder is where all the time went. "I forget I'm this old," Jerry said. "It surprises me when I look in the mirror and say, 'Who's that old lady?' I don't remember getting old."

DECmate I
<computer> The first in DEC's series of miniaturised PDP-8 computers based on the Intersil 6120 [Harris 6120?] microprocessor and dedicated to wordprocessing. The DECmate was DEC's original competition for the IBM PC.
The DECmate I was introduced in 1980 as the successor to the WT78. The processor ran at 10 MHz, and was housed in a VT100 CRT terminal. It was a very limted model, no EAE option was available, memory was 32 Kwords. It used the RX02 8" dual floppy drive. Options were the DP278-A and -B communication ports and RL278: 1 to 4 RL02 cartridge disk drives.

Talking Point: Self-serve supermarket checkouts - love them or hate them?
Updated 3:59pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Omar Oakes
Most of us will be all too aware that life at the supermarket has changed a lot in recent years.
One big change on the high street has been the explosion of mini-versions of the big supermarket chains, which are designed for convenience shopping and heralded the 'self-serve' checkout in which you weigh and pay for your shopping.
But in recent years the supermarkets have introduced more and more of these self-serve checkouts into the bigger stores too.
While some will appreciate the convenience, many have encountered the same recurring issues: such as having to wait for a technician to approve certain purchases; being stuck behind shoppers who seem incapable of using them quickly; or the machine not recognising the weight of a particular product.
So what do you think of them? Convenience or more trouble than it is worth?
Let us know if you would like to see more or less of self-serve checkouts by having your say and taking part in the poll.

The loading area which weighs the items is not big enough for a full basket either. So you remove the bag to carry on and... "Please place the item in the bagging area" followed by the shrill "Please wait for assistance."
They really test your patience sometimes!

Machines dont go off on maternity leave, dont take you to an employment tribunal, dont insist on a minimum wage, dont take tea breaks, dont have to pay NI on them or contribute to their pension, dont go on strike. etc.
All they require is an initial investment and a little maintenance.

Maypearl shooting
MAYPEARL — Two teenagers died Wednesday afternoon in a failed home invasion robbery attempt south of Maypearl in Ellis County.
The teens were identified as Kenneth Chaffin, 17, and Dillon King, 18, both of Oklahoma.
It all started around 1 p.m. when a woman alone in her two-story rural farmhouse on Bee Creek Road heard a rattle at the door. She told deputies she saw two men trying to break in — one of whom was dressed in camouflage with a gun strapped to his back.
The woman called her husband, who was pulling into the driveway at about the same time. He raced inside the house and got a gun.
Investigators said the homeowner and the suspects exchanged a significant amount of gunfire, with some rounds penetrating the walls of the residence.
"The homeowner was hit. There's multiple rounds through his house," said Lt. James Saulter of the Ellis County Sheriff's Department. "Actually, one of them went through the side, and is above the bed in the master bedroom." The homeowner's wound was superficial. He was treated by paramedics at the scene and is expected to fully recover.
One suspect was shot by bullets from the homeowner and was dead at the scene, although he appeared to have died from a self-inflicted wound, Saulter said. The other suspect fled in a pickup truck reported stolen from Oklahoma. He only drove a few hundred yards across the street into another field. He was found dead. Investigators believe he also shot himself.
The pickup truck had Oklahoma plates, and police there had put out an alert warning the owner's 17-year-old son, Chaffin, was thought to have taken it. He was also suspected of stealing guns, pills, ammunition, and $1,000 from his family.
Police had warned that Chaffin was armed and dangerous.
Some neighbors who live in the same Ellis County community said they heard gunfire Tuesday night, and then saw a red pickup speeding away. They now wonder if it is the same truck involved in the home invasion on Wednesday.
"We live out here because we like living in the country," said Lacy McCarty. "It's really odd and scary that it's this close."
Saulter said while there will be an investigation, it appears the homeowners did nothing wrong. "Our sheriff is always letting homeowners know to arm themselves. This is one of the reasons why," he said. "Sometimes it takes a while for us to get out this far, and they have to take care of it themselves."
"They were in fear for their lives, their house was being broken into, the suspects were armed," Saulter added. "Early indications are everything was justified."

This is the least expensive way to tune your bass drum. I find that it controls the overtones well at the same time not stopping the tone altogether. I use it on the front and the back of the drum.
Comments about Gibraltar SC-BF Felt Strips:
Depending on how you tune up your kick really makes these things worth it. i play a 22 thats tuned up pretty high. these are just right of center in vertical position. if your new to these then don't feel discouraged if you just spent 10 min putting your heads on to find how dead they made it sound. they work great if you tune your heads up high. And make sure your pulling them tight against your head or there worthless. i got a nice big full bonham sounding kick out of my 22" with these things. check out the "Trust Your Ears" Jeff Ocheltree drum video. he was Bonham's drum tech back in the day and he explains these things and shows you how to use them.

Examine the realities of public health policy, the challenges of urban epidemiology, and the issues of healthcare equity in Buenos Aires — one of Latin America's largest cities.
View a video about ISALUD University,
the program's primary partner.
This program will provide students interested in public health, health sciences, development studies, and other disciplines with the opportunity to scrutinize health-related challenges in urban environments. Students will learn from academics and practitioners associated with leading institutions in Argentina.
Major topics of study include:
- Health system organization
- The political process of defining a public health agenda
- Social determinants of health
- Intercultural barriers to quality care
- Chronic diseases in urban environments
- Health needs specific to urban environments
Learn from Argentine health experts, authorities, and advocates.
The program will be based at ISALUD University, Argentina's primary academic institution for public and private health managers and stakeholders. In addition to ISALUD faculty, program lecturers will include academics from Arturo Jauretche National University (AJNU) and practitioners from Hospital El Cruce.
In order to encounter myriad perspectives on urban health-related challenges, students will engage with a diversity of Argentine healthcare service providers and civil society advocates, as well as university medical students.
Culture and language immersion
The program will likely include a community stay in the municipality of Florencio Varela as well as an excursion to Tucumán in northern Argentina and Mendoza in the west.
Students will live with a homestay family in Buenos Aires for most of the semester. The program's intensive language course will take place at the University of Buenos Aires' Language Laboratory.
Browse this program's Independent Study Projects/Undergraduate Research
|Public health in Argentina
This program offers an academic, culturally immersive exploration of how living in urban areas can shape health conditions, from the particular vantage point of Argentina's capital city. Today, Argentina continues to face traditional health risks—including those linked to unsafe water, inadequate nutrition, and poor sanitation—while grappling with escalating rates of chronic disease.
The program looks at Argentina's epidemiological profile and health system from a comparative perspective. The healthcare system in Argentina shares similar challenges with the US system in that Argentina has an analogous epidemiological profile, is impacted by comparable migration processes, and struggles with unequal access to good care. Argentina's public health system provides free healthcare as a result of the country's well-developed social security system, which is composed of private healthcare providers and public services.

The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden in London has recently added Arri theatre luminaires to its rig. White Light supplied and installed two fully automated 4kW Compact HMI fresnels and a further three automated 5kW tungsten Junior fresnels to add to the nine units the company supplied last year.
The Junior 5kWs, with dichroic reflectors, are built into a moving yoke with scroller; the Compact 4kW HMIs have dimmer shutter and scroller incorporated into the moving yoke. The Royal Opera House is a long-standing client of White Light, who also services and maintains the moving lights, dimmers, and control system at the ROH.
David Harvey, the theatre's co-lighting manager, explains, "We chose the Junior 5kWs because we only have 750mm of depth in our lighting battens. Furthermore, the colors we wanted to put in our scrollers needed to be looked after, and the dichroic filter will give extended life to the scrolls. Having the units motorized also cuts down on very tight rehearsal and changeover schedules, as well as giving designers more flexibility of multiple positioning during productions." The ROH lighting team had visited the Music Theatre in Amsterdam to review the moving yokes.
The ROH specified the 4kW HMIs for La Sonnambula, which was lit by Harvey's co-lighting manager, John Charlton, and required heavy usage of the HMIs. The 4kWs were supplied with an electronic ballast in a cradle with a remote strike, with shutters and scrollers.
The Royal Opera House is now progressively specifying Arri as its first choice in large-format fresnels. "We opted for Arri this time because of its superior light output, and the fact you can put accessories on the front," Harvey said.

Dwight Howard has wanted to go to the Brooklyn Nets for a while. He could be loading his things into a swanky new Manhattan condo right now, but instead he's stuck in Orlando, thanks to the waiver he signed that prevented him from terminating his contract early. The Nets just traded for Joe Johnson, so they won't be trading for Howard.
Where's he headed now? According to ESPN's Ric Bucher, his first choice is to go to the Dallas Mavericks.
Source: With Nets out of equation, Mavs go to top of Dwight Howard's wish list. No other teams - Lakers included - on it. For now.— Ric Bucher (@RicBucher) July 2, 2012
It's anyone's guess why Howard is so averse to going to the Lakers, but it can't make Rob Hennigan too happy.

Photographer finds inspiration in 'devastating' floods
10:42am Thursday 6th March 2014 in News
ALTHOUGH the recent flooding caused misery for many, the wet setting was inspiring for one county photographer.
Daniel Swain, 21, went onto Hereford's Bishop's Meadows with one model unafraid of getting her feet wet for an unconventional fashion shoot.
Daniel, a Hereford College of Arts graduate, said he wanted to create "something beautiful out of the devastation".
He said: "Hereford lacks good locations to do photo shoots, so I am always on the lookout for a good location. It wasn't until I walked my dog through a flooded field that the idea hit me to use something that obviously is devastating to my advantage and try to create something beautiful.
"To be a high fashion editorial photographer you need to take risks even though sometimes the result isn't what you expected. "Throughout planning and shooting this specific shoot, I didn't know if it was going to work and look good, but I was pleased with the final outcome."

When to consider a multi-drive versus a single drive
Drives offer an array of benefits to integrators, OEMs, panel builders and end users who are optimizing energy usage through precise control of motors. Since drives are available both in multi-drive and single drive configurations, it is useful to define the difference and profile the benefits that the next generation of multi-drives now provides to users.
A single ABB industrial drive
Adjustable Speed Drives are used in any application in which there is mechanical equipment powered by motors; the drives provide extremely precise electrical motor control, so that motor speeds can be ramped up and down, and maintained, at speeds required; doing so utilizes only the energy required, rather than having a motor run at constant (fixed) speed and utilizing an excess of energy. Since motors consume a majority of the energy produced, the control of motors, based on demands of loads, increases in importance, as energy supplies become ever more strained. Additionally, end users of motors can realize 25 to 70 percent energy savings via use of motor controllers. (Despite these benefits, the majority of motors continue to be operated without drives.)
Single ABB industrial drives are highly flexible AC drives that can be customized to meet the precise needs of a single-motor application. These units convert AC power to DC, and then invert the DC back to an AC output to a motor. These drives cover a wide, full range of powers and voltages. Single industrial drives also feature a wide range of built-in options as standard equipment. They can be installed for most applications right out of the box; and they also can be ordered and manufactured as a customized unit for a particular application.
What is an ABB multi-drive?
A multi-drive is built from industrial drive modules that are connected to a common DC bus bar. The common bus bar is used to supply the drive modules with DC power, and each module then inverts the DC to AC and powers an individual motor. The DC power is derived from a single supply unit (rectifier) that is built into the front end of the same multidrive configuration. This construction simplifies the total installation and results in many benefits: savings in cabling; reduced line currents and simpler braking arrangements; energy distribution over the common DC bus bar, which can be used for motor-to-motor braking without the need for a braking chopper or a regenerative supply unit; reduced component counts; increased reliability; and space savings; and there is no need for a separate Motor Control Center (MCC).
Where can multi-drives be used?
In general terms, the ABB multi-drives can be used whenever several drives/motors form part of a single or integrated mechanical process. The common supply of the multi-drive enables the implementation of overall safety and control functions, and permits the close coordination of individual drive motors. For example, a paper machine has many motors that must be individually controlled as a complete system. The ABB multi-drives offer fast communication of torque and speed signals between the drives, to control the tension in the paper web. Multi-drives also can be used where the shafts of the individual drive motors are not tightly coupled; for example, in processes where each drive module can be programmed with a speed profile so that the overall use of energy is minimized. These two examples merely demonstrate the range of applications where ABB multidrives offer substantial benefits over other types of drive constructions.
ABB multi-drive promises
Modular configuration of multidrives provides control of multiple motors across a 1 – 7,000 HP power range, from 380 - 600 (690) VAC. A single rectifier unit can be combined with a host of inverter units that are connected in parallel, to provide output current required by any given application. Additional major benefits include:
• Encoder-less Motor Operation
• Superior dynamic-response performance of ABB''s patented Direct Torque Control (DTC) motor control algorithm. Many applications can be run without encoder feedback.
• Flexibility. Only four types of diode rectifiers are used to invert AC three-phase input power to the common DC bus bar across the entire ACS800 power range (200 ? 4600 HP). Inverter modules (drives) are available in seven sizes (R2i ? R8i frame sizes) and cover the 1 – 7,000 HP range; single R8i units, or R8i units in parallel, supply the motors.
• Compact Design. Improvements in technology and power components have reduced the total footprint of these multi-drives by up to 50 percent, compared to the generation of multidrives preceding the ACS800 line! This frees up significant wall-, panel- and floor-space.
• Wide Range of Options. I/O extensions, field buses and a pulse encoder module all fit inside the inverters.
• Adaptive Programming. This program extends the freely programmable I/O and extensive parameter selections built into the multi-drives and accessed via the Start-up assistant. The Adaptive Programming accesses extensive parameter selections for complete flexibility in precise control of all individual motors; like a mini PLC built in.
• Reduced Installation Costs. Since the modular configuration utilizes a common DC bus, the cabling input power required is a single three-phase AC connection. Further, the cabling is wired to the rectifier module through a unique plug-in connector, which then powers the entire common DC line-up. And the plug-in connectors for the inverters (132 kW and up) are wired to the motor terminals. Both the rectifiers and the inverters are rolled in on their wheels and seated into the connectors.
• Redundancy. Common spare parts and the ability to keep running at reduced load, if module is disabled.

The streets of Ferguson were peaceful for another night, as protests and tensions subsided in the St. Louis suburb
Since the guard's arrival Monday, flare-ups in the small section of town that had been the center of unrest have begun to subside
Although the majority of those arrested are Missourians, just seven live in the St. Louis suburb where the shooting occurred

The ports were all OK. Only took the ship's tours in Istanbul. The one at dinner time on the sea was wonderful. The tour the following day was very informative. Istanbul at night was a sight to see. Athens was OK. A busy city but interesting to see. Many tenders on this trip; but they all went smoothly. Just wait an hour & you will not have to get a ticket. Myknose was missed because of rough seas. The food was very just OK. I expected much better food from Holland America. The Lido was always crowded I had to save a table while my husband got his plate almost all the time. Entertainment was OK. Just something to do after dinner. The piano bar was very entertaining.
Biggest problem with this ship is that 1/2 the ship was sick with a cough and/or a cold. Sneezing & coughing all over the entire ship. Table mates were great; but we were all sick by the 5th day. Disembarkment went very smooth. Took Hal's transfer and got to the airport in plenty of time. The Venice airport is very small and the lines move very slowly. Found that my same room was sold for 1/2 the price we paid 35 days prior to the sail. Leaves a bad taste. Mid ship 5th deck balconies look down on the full lifeboats. You can not see the water below; just the orange lifeboat. Will not be taking Holland America again.

Trashing historyJuly 13,2013In April 1967 Robert Kennedy and other members of a Senate subcommittee investigating poverty in America traveled to the Mississippi Delta country to have a firsthand look. They drove in a caravan of cars to Bolivar County north of Greenville, where they found a small community amid cotton fields. It was a collection of shacks surrounding an earthen courtyard where the women washed clothes in tubs. There were few men of working age, little food in anyones refrigerators, no indoor plumbing.
Changes in the wage laws had brought to a close the practice of sharecropping, which had been a form of quasi-servitude that had prevailed for a century. As a result, poverty had worsened. In those Delta villages, children suffered the diseases of malnutrition. The children Kennedy saw were happy to shake his hand, but they were ragged and filthy. The women who were watching over them were in poor health and prematurely aged.
It was a visit to the Third World. America at the time was beginning to realize that poverty was a fact of life even in a land of riches and opportunity. And poverty was not unique to African-Americans in the Delta. Impoverished white populations in Appalachia and elsewhere also came to the attention of the nation. Conditions in urban slums flared up into deadly riots in Los Angeles, Detroit and elsewhere. An influential book at the time called The Other America showed Americans the reality of what, properly considered, was not another America. It was America, and it would no longer be ignored.
One of the outcomes of Kennedys investigations was the food stamp program. Poor children in Mississippi or in New York City would not be allowed to suffer malnutrition. It was an embrace of one of Franklin Roosevelts Four Freedoms the freedom from want. It was the charitable response of a national community to the shocking reality of economic injustice.
Political support for food stamps persisted over the years because it was the responsibility of the Agriculture Department, and so its appropriations became part of the farm bill. The farm bill authorizes farm support programs, such as subsidies for cotton, corn and soybeans and price supports for dairy farmers. Farmers understood that poor people would be able to consume the products of American farms if they had food stamps in their hands.
Thus, liberals of the old school George McGovern, Hubert Humphrey supported the farm bill in part because it covered the cost of food stamps but conservatives from farm country supported it, too, because it maintained support for farmers.
This week Republicans in the U.S. House trashed this long history. They had failed previously to pass a farm bill because they had trashed the alliance of interests that made a farm bill possible. They did so by slashing spending on food stamps so deeply that as many as 3 million Americans, half of them children, stood to lose nutritional support. In addition, some conservatives bolted because they opposed continued spending on subsidies for farmers.
The Republican response to this failure was to pass a farm bill this week that excluded food stamps altogether. As one Republican congressman said, Republicans had decided to eliminate extraneous portions of the bill.
Democrats responded with fury. Kids going to bed hungry at night in this nation is extraneous? said Rep. Rosa DeLauro.
The 47 million people who are on (food stamps) are not extraneous, said Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts.
Dysfunction in the Republican House has reached a new low. Not only have Republican members decided not to take up comprehensive immigration reform, now they have sent an unequivocal message on food policy: billions in subsidies for farmers; zero for poor people.
Robert Kennedy was murdered 14 months after helping to shine a spotlight on the gross injustice of poverty in America. Over the years we have spent billions to help put food in the refrigerators of poor families. Far from extraneous, it has been crucial to our nations well-being.MORE IN CommentaryAccording to a recent report in The Times, there is dissent at the Fed: An increasingly vocal...

Jeff Siegel's Prime Picks for Sunday, Feb. 1
Happy Super Bowl day! Go Steelers! Does John Henry Johnson still play for them? Don't forget early first post today, 11 a.m., and if you'd attending the races, come out early and say hello; I'll be on the Fans' Forum beginning at 9:45 a.m. We'll start our action in the 4th race. #2 Icemancometh returns to turf and exits a graded stakes. He's drawn comfortably inside while dropping into a starter's handicap and in a field without an undue amount of speed, looks quite capable of controlling this race from gate to wire. #6 Turk is listed as the 8/5 favorite in the 5th race and could go lower. The Baffert-trained colt has lost both of his starts to date by a nose but if he can project his sprint form around two turns, he'll have little difficulty graduating today. #3 Oscar Bound continues to train in good style for Koriner and draws a much better post today while trying the main track for the first time. He seems like a logical exacta partner with the favorite. #1 New Fandan arrives fit and ready for his California debut in the 6th race after making his U.S. debut in Florida last month. Beaten a head while more than five lengths clear of the third horse, the Brazilian-bred veteran gets the rail and Bejarano and will be tough if jet lag doesn't get to him. #8 Chanjo has a solid effort over the course in his first start for Armstrong and if he can turn in two alike he'll be prominent throughout. #1 Natural Talent keeps firing bullets and rates another big look in the 7th race despite the rail. He's a route to sprint play and should enjoy this extended sprint trip. #10 Bewitching Bartok returns to his winning level, has a good stalking style for this trip and is the one to fear most. #12 Miss Silver Brook could not have been more visually impressive than she was breaking her maiden and although the number wasn't great, she seems capable of so much more. She's going from a maiden race to a stakes in today's 8th race, but Canani doesn't usually pitch them too high, and we suspect he firmly believes she'll be up to the task. She's by Cozzene and therefore bred to love the lawn. Look for her to roll on by in the final furlong. We'll try the inside three runners in the nightcap. #1 Senor Afortunado has improving numbers and a good closing style for this extended sprint trip. If he can avoid trouble from the rail, he'll be right there. #2 No Thinkin Allowed also fits on figures and should be dangerous from off the pace. And #3 Fractious Child chased much tougher straight maidens in his debut and has worked nicely since. He'll find this bottom rung maiden claiming field much more to his liking.

4 Creative Outdoor Lighting Ideas
Keep your party out of the dark with one of these illuminating lighting options.
Candles and Torches
Whether you favor ethereal lanterns or dramatic torches, candlelight emits a warm, gorgeous glow at the strike of a match.
What you need to know: Candles can be used just about anywhere, but keep safety in mind. When hanging candles from trees, place them in deep containers so that the wicks are a few inches lower than the rims; this will prevent sparks and flames from blowing out. The handles of the containers should be made of wire and be long enough to keep flames about 12 inches away from leaves and branches. As for torches, it's not a good idea to use them when kids or pets are present. Reserve them for adults-only gatherings. Candles and torches shouldn't be left outside; before bringing them in, make sure they're fully extinguished.
The Lights Pictured
Torches (in ground): Stainless steel; easy to stick in place. Fill with lamp oil (sold at home-improvement stores). Unfortunately, this item is no longer available.
Large white lantern (on ground): Iron punched with tiny pinholes in a floral design. Season 26-inch-tall lantern with candles (included), $54, allmodern.com.
Hanging lanterns (in tree ): Rustic rope detail, wire handles, colored glass. Jar lanterns, $20 for three (yellow, green, blue), uncommongoods.com.
Small lanterns (on left end of table ): 8½ inches high; tealights fit perfectly inside. Gardman Riviera metal-and-glass lanterns. Unfortunately, this item is no longer available.
