1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to measuring height based upon changes in the phase shift of an AC signal due to capacitive variations.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the production of magnetic storage disks, (for use as computer storage media, for example) it is useful to make non-contact measurements of disk height. Mapping the overall disk topography using such measurements is possible. Additionally, the present invention may be used to determine the distance between the magnetic disk surface and the read/write head.
One method of measuring disk height is by measuring capacitive changes in a capacitance probe due to the varying distance between the capacitance probe and the surface of the magnetic storage disk. One possible technique for measuring this capacitance is to apply a high frequency AC signal between the capacitance probe and the storage disk surface. The capacitance due to the separation between the capacitance probe and the disk surface varies as a function of the distance between the two and may be calculated by measuring the current flow due to the applied high frequency AC voltage. This method lacks sensitivity and suffers from problems due to noise. Furthermore, the current flow through the capacitance probe is not linearly related to the distance between the probe and disk surface.
To compensate for the non-linear characteristic of the current flow, a linearizing stage having a transfer function characteristic inverse to that of the current flow through the capacitance probe may be added. This method of measuring height is very sensitive to the influence of stray capacitance. Typically, in order to limit the effect of stray capacitance, the detector circuit is integrated in the capacitance probe. This integrated capacitance probe is extremely delicate and quite expensive.
A second method of measuring capacitance due to the separation between a capacitance probe and magnetic storage disk is to apply a high frequency carrier signal (typically 5 MHz) and measure the drop in the amplitude of this carrier due to the probe/disk capacitor. The amplitude of the carrier will be proportional to the distance between the capacitance probe and the storage disk due to the varying capacitive load of the capacitance probe/disk capacitor. Changes in capacitance due to varying disk height are extremely small and their detection using this method requires very sensitive circuitry. To improve detection of the amplitude variations in the applied carrier signal, the amplitude of the 4 megaHertz carrier may be increased. Typically amplitudes may be as high as 80 volts. This method is both difficult and expensive to employ and still suffers from a high degree of sensitivity to stray capacitance. Furthermore, this high voltage level may present dangers to the operator. This method is not useful in measuring head flying heights because at heights of only 20 micro-inches, the 80 volt signal tends to arc to the disk surface, destroying the storage medium.
In accordance with the present invention, an alternating voltage is applied between the capacitance probe and the magnetic storage disk surface. The phase shift between the capacitance probe signal and a reference signal is measured and converted into a voltage output representative of the distance between the capacitance probe and the magnetic storage medium Circuitry is included to adjust the phase shift of the reference signal such that phase shift in the test probe signal due to stray capacitance may be calibrated out of the system. The invention includes cable compensation circuitry to improve sensitivity and linearity and cancel out capacitance due to transmission cabling.
In a preferred embodiment, the phase difference between the test probe output signal and the reference signal is measured by multiplying the probe signal with the reference signal and filtering out the high frequency components. This filtered output is representative of the distance between the . disk surface and the test probe and is inversely proportional to that distance. For small probe displacements, the relationship between output voltage and probe height is approximately linear. For large displacements, the filtered output may be applied to an amplifier including a stage whose output is proportional to the reciprocal of the input voltage. Thus, an output voltage is provided which varies in direct proportion, even for large displacements, to the distance between the capacitance test probe and surface of the magnetic disk.
The present invention has numerous advantages over the prior art including low susceptibility to stray capacitance, high sensitivity, and high linearity. The present invention provides a low cost, easily fabricated method for measuring distance based upon capacitance. In addition, dissimilar capacitance probes may be used with the same test circuitry, including flying heads, disk mapping probes and probes for measuring mechanical displacement (such as capacitive strain gage probes).

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of control circuitry for the distance measuring circuitry of FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 shows a magnetic storage disk system 8 including magnetic storage disk 10 supported by a disk support ring 13 on a spindle 12. Spindle 12 is connected to spindle shaft 14. A capacitance probe 16 is positioned a distance above the surface of storage disk 10 on probe armature 17. In FIG. 1, this distance is shown as "d". Also shown in FIG. 1 is electric ground 18 electrically connected to spindle shaft 14. Ground 18 is used to complete an electrical circuit between capacitance probe 16 and storage disk 10.
In typical operation, storage disk 10 is held on spindle 12 and is rapidly rotated by a motor (not shown) attached to spindle shaft 14. As disk 10 rotates, a magnetic read/write head (not shown, but which in one embodiment of the present invention may be attached to capacitance probe 16 and probe armature 17) is suspended above the surface of magnetic storage disk 10.
Due to the close proximity of the magnetic read/write head (not shown) to the surface of disk 10, the read/write head is said to "fly" over the surface of disk 10. This flying action allows the magnetic head to follow most changes in the contour of the surface of storage disk 10. The read/write head, however, "flies" so close to the disk surface that certain variations in disk height may lead to what is known as a "crash". A "crash" occurs when the read/write head comes in contact with the storage disk 10. Due to the high rate of rotation of storage disk 10 and the delicate nature of both the surface of disk 10 and the read/write head, a "crash" may seriously damage both the surface of disk 10 and the magnetic read/write head itself.
In addition to the potential for a "crash," an anomaly in the height of the surface of disk 10 may indicate areas which are unable to accurately retain the magnetic fields which represent the information stored on magnetic storage disk 10. Thus, for quality control reasons, it is important to accurately map the topographical features of the surface of storage disk 10 prior to using the disk for storage purposes.
During operation of magnetic storage disk system 8, it is important that the magnetic read/write head (not shown) be optimally placed above the surface of storage disk 10. A read/write head positioned to close to disk 10 may "crash" as described above. On the other hand, a read/write head positioned too far above the surface of magnetic storage disk 10 will provide a magnetic field too weak to write data on to disk 10. A read/write head too far above the surface of disk 10 will also have difficulty accurately reading the data recorded on disk 10. Thus it is extremely important during both production and during use of magnetic storage disk 10 to accurately measure distances above the surface of storage disk 10.
The block diagram of FIG. 2 shows circuitry in accordance with the present invention for accurately and inexpensively measuring the distance between capacitance probe 16 and magnetic storage disk 10. Measurement circuitry (designated generally at 20) comprises an oscillator 22 providing a sine wave output to capacitance probe 16 through cable compensation circuit 23 and to phase shift circuitry 24. The signal from cable compensation circuit 23 is carried to capacitance probe 16 through cable 27A. The return signal path from capacitance probe 16 is through a different portion of the same cable shown as cable 27B.
In the other leg of the split output from oscillator 22, phase shift circuitry 24 comprises a 90� phase shift circuit 26 and a variable phase shift circuit 28. This has been shown as separate circuit blocks 26 and 28, however a single phase shift circuit may be used to produce both phase shifts.
Capacitance probe 16 and storage disk 10 are shown schematically in FIG. 2 and form a capacitor 29 having a capacitance of Cp. This capacitance causes a shift in the phase angle of the component of the output of oscillator 22 going through cable compensation circuit 23 by an angle φ2. The component of the output of oscillator 22 going through phase shift circuitry 24 is shifted in phase by 90� plus angle φ1, where φ1 is an adjustable phase shift angle.
The component of the output of oscillator 22 applied to test probe 16 is recombined with the component of the output of oscillator 22 applied to phase shift circuitry 24 by multiplying circuitry 30. The output of multiplier circuit 30 is fed into filter 32 which comprises a low pass filter. In the preferred embodiment, filter 32 has a cut-off frequency of about 100 kHz. The output of filter 32 is split and applied to amplifiers 34 and 36. The output of amplifier 34 is fed into divider circuitry 38 which provides output Vout. Amplifier 36 provides a zero adjust voltage labelled Vadj in FIG. 2.
In operation, capacitance probe 16 is placed above magnetic storage disk 10 as shown in FIG. 1. Capacitance probe 16 forms one plate of capacitor 29 having capacitance Cp shown schematically in FIG. 2. Storage disk 10 forms the other plate of capacitor 29 which is connected to electrical ground 18. Oscillator 22 provides a stable output of 4 MHz (i.e. Vosc =A�sin[2�π�f�t] where A is a constant, f=4 MHz and t is time in seconds) in FIG. 2. The output of oscillator 22 is applied to both test probe 16 through cable compensation circuit 23 and to phase shift circuitry 24. The voltages at points x and y, the outputs of capacitor 29 and phase shift circuitry 24, respectively, in FIG. 2 are:
VX =B�sin ]2�π�f�φ2] (1)
VY =C�sin [2�π�f+π/2+φ1] (2)
where φ2 is the phase shift due to capacitor 29 formed by the spacing between capacitance probe 16 and storage disk 10 connected to electrical ground 18 and φ1 is a variable phase shift due to variable phase shift circuitry 28.
The voltage signals at points x and y are applied to multiplier circuit 30 in FIG. 2. Multiplier circuit 30 multiplies the two input voltage signals, VX with VY, and provides a voltage output at point z. The voltage from multiplier circuit 30 measured at point z is: ##EQU1##
Where K equals K0 �B�C. K0 is the gain of multiplier circuit 30. As shown in the expansion of Equation 3, a high frequency component at 2�f (i.e 8 MHz) and a low frequency component whose signal varies as the difference between φ1 and φ2. As the distance between the capacitance probe 16 and disk 10 changes, the phase shift φ2 will change due to the varying capacitance of capacitance probe 16. The output of multiplier circuit 30 is passed through filter 32, which filters out the signal component at 8 MHz. The voltage at the output of filter 32 contains signals in the range of zero to 100 kHz and is: ##EQU2## This approximation is possible because the phase shift is extremely small, φ1-φ2<0.1, and the error will be less than 0.1%.
The output of filter 32 is split and the signal is applied to both amplifier 34 and amplifier 36. Amplifier 36 provides a zero adjust voltage labelled Vadj in FIG. 2. The output of amplifier 34 is applied to the input of divider circuit 38. Divider circuit 38 has a transfer function characteristic such that Vout =1/Vin. This results in an output that is directly proportional to the height of capacitance probe 16 above the surface of magnetic storage disk 10. The voltage signal at Vout is:
Vout =K3 �d (5)
Where d is the distance between capacitance probe 16 and storage disk 10 as shown in FIG. 1, and K3 is an adjustable constant. K3 may be calibrated by adjusting the amplification, G, of amplifier 34.
In operation, capacitance probe 16 is positioned over magnetic storage disk 10, at a distance from disk 10 such that only stray capacitance is present. Variable phase shift circuitry 28 is adjusted such that φ1 is equal to φ2. When φ1 equals φ2, the output of filter 32 will be zero. Referring to Equation 4 it is seen that φ2 and φ1 cancel out when φ1 equals φ2. This cancellation is done by monitoring the output of amplifier 36 labelled Vadj in FIG. 2 such that Vadj equals zero.
The circuit may be calibrated by placing capacitance probe 16 a known distance above storage disk 10 and adjusting the gain, G, of amplifier 34 such that Vout from divider circuit 38 is at an appropriate voltage level.
When cable compensation circuit 29 consists of a single series resistor of resistance R, the phase shift φ2 may be represented as:
φ2=arctan[R�CT �2�π�f] (6)
Where CT is the total capacitance and equals capacitance due to test probe 16, Cp, plus any stray capacitance, Cs, from the cable, circuitry, etc.
In FIG. 3, a graph of Equation 6 is shown. Typically, the stray capacitance, Cs, may be near 50 pF while the capacitance due test probe 16 may be in the range of 0.1-5 pF. Thus, the circuit will be operating around point A in FIG. 3 due to this comparatively large cable capacitance. This results in decreased sensitivity, as evident in FIG. 3, because the arctan curve near point A is relatively flat and even a large swing (1 pF for example) in the probe capacitance will result in only a small change in the value of φ2. The sensitivity near point A is only about 28%. Furthermore, the linearity of the output will be poor because the circuit will be operating at a point where the arctan function is substantially curved.
Large improvements in the sensitivity and linearity of the invention may be realized by moving the operation point away from A in FIG. 3 and closer to the origin of the graph where the arctan function is steeper and more nearly linear.
One circuit that may be used as cable compensation circuit 23 for moving the operation point of the present invention closer to the origin of the graph in FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. 4 as 23A. Cable compensation circuit 23A comprises a resistor 60 having resistance R and variable inductor 62 having inductance L. The stray capacitance Cs is shown as capacitor 64. To cancel out the effect of the stray capacitance, the inductance L of inductor 62 should adjusted such that:
L=[(2�π�f)2 �Cs ]-1 (7)
At this value the capacitance Cs is "cancelled" at the frequency f, i.e. 4 MHz. If the cable is deformed or moved, however, the stray capacitance may change and the inductance L of inductor 62 will need to be readjusted to compensate for this change. Additionally, the change in capacitance will result in an error being introduced into the phase shift φ2. Circuit 23A is, however, adequate for use when cable lengths are short and probe capacitance is larger than 1 pF.
Circuit 23A is also useful for measuring head flying height as the capacitance being measured is quite large, greater than about 2 pF. For example, when the capacitance Cp due to capacitance probe 16 is less than about 0.5 pF, the resistance of resistor 60 must be increased to obtain adequate measurement sensitivity. When Cp is about 0.2 pF, resistor 60 should be about 25 kohm for the circuit to accurately measure the small changes in Cp due to variations in disk height. Typically, the capacitance of the cabling used for cable 27A may be greater than 50 pF/meter. With such large cable capacitance and small probe/disk capacitance, the cable cannot be moved or the effects of uncompensated stray capacitance will introduce errors into the measurements. It would be desirable to obtain increased sensitivity without increasing the circuit's susceptibility to stray capacitance.
When extreme sensitivity is required, the cable compensation circuit 23B of FIG. 5 may be employed as an alternative to circuit 23A. Cable compensation circuit 23B not only moves the operation point of measurement circuitry 20 closer to the origin of the arctan curve of FIG. 3, but is also not susceptible to the problems associated with large cable capacitance. In cable compensation circuit 23B, a dual shield or tri-axial cable 66 shown in FIG. 6 is used for cable 27A. Tri-axial cable 66 comprises an inner conductor 68, an inner shield 70 and an outer shield 72. Insulator 69 separates inner conductor 68 from inner shield 70. Insulator 71 separates inner shield 70 from outer shield 72. Outer shield 72 is covered by insulator 73. A typical tri-axial cable 66 has a capacitance of about 50 pF/meter.
Referring again to FIG. 5, tri-axial cable 66 is shown electrically as capacitors 74 and 76. Capacitor 74 represents the capacitance between the inner conductor 68 and the inner shield 70 of triaxial cable 66. Capacitor 76 represents the capacitance between the inner shield 70 and the outer shield 72 of tri-axial cable 66. The output of oscillator 22 is connected to resistor 78. For sensitive measurements, resistor 78 should have a resistance of about 25 kohms. Resistor 78 connects directly to inner conductor 68 of tri-axial cable 66 and through a unity gain amplifier 80 to inner shield 70 of tri-axial cable 66. Outer shield 72 of cable 66 connects to electrical ground 18. Tri-axial cable 66 extends between resistor 78 and capacitor 29 formed by storage disk 10 and capacitance probe 16. Capacitor 29 connects to NPN transistors 82, 84 and 86. The base of transistor 82 connects to capacitor 29. The emitter of transistor 82 is connected the base of transistor 86 and to a negative supply voltage -Vs through load 88. The collector of transistor 82 connects to the emitter of transistor 84. The collector of transistor 84 connects to a positive supply voltage Vs. The base of transistor 84 connects to bias resistors 90 and 92 and is electrically coupled to the emitter of transistor 82 through capacitor 94. The base of transistor 86 connects to the emitter of transistor 82. The collector of transistor 86 is connected to positive supply voltage Vs. The emitter of transistor 86 connects to electric ground 18 through load 94. Multiplying circuit 30 of FIG. 2 connects to the emitter of transistor 86 through cable 27B.
In operation, cable compensation circuit 23B of FIG. 5 effectively cancels out capacitors 74 and 76 due to tri-axial cable 66. Unity gain amplifier 80 drives the inner shield 70 of cable 66. Since unity gain amplifier 80 is connected across capacitor 74 (formed between inner conductor 68 and inner shield 70), no charge is built up on the plates of capacitor 74. Furthermore, any current caused to flow through capacitor 76 to electric ground 18 will be supplied by amplifier 80 and not through resistor 78. Only a small amount of current from resistor 78 flows into the base of transistor 82. Thus, almost all the current flowing through resistor 78 flows to ground through the disk/probe capacitor 29. As shown in Equation 6, above, the capacitance due to the cable is cancelled out, and CT will equal Cp.
The circuit formed by transistors 82, 84 and 86 provides even further accuracy in phase angle measurements. Transistor 82 is connected in an emitter-follower configuration such that the emitter of transistor 82 follows the voltage at the base of transistor 82. In the emitter-follower configuration, the capacitance formed between the base and emitter of transistor 82 does not load cable 68. Furthermore, transistor 84 is also connected as an emitter-follower such the collector of transistor 82 follows the emitter of transistor 82 due to AC coupling capacitor 94. Thus, neither the base-emitter capacitance nor the base-collector capacitance of transistor 82 affects the loading of cable 66. The output of transistor 82 is taken from its emitter and applied to transistor 86, also connected in an emitter-follower configuration. This signal is brought to multiplier circuit 30 in FIG. 2 through return cable 27B. Note that any capacitance due to cable 27B does not alter the phase of the return signal because this capacitance would appear in parallel with transistor 86.
A combination of the circuit 23B of FIG. 5 and the circuit 23A of FIG. 4 may also be used as cable compensation circuitry 23. By including a variable inductor, such as is used in circuit 23A, along with the cable driving circuitry of 23B, residual capacitance may be compensated. Using this configuration, transistor 84 and its associated circuitry is not necessary.
A further development of the invention is shown in FIG. 7. Rather then repeatedly calibrating measurement circuitry 20 of FIG. 2, the microprocessor system of FIG. 7 may be employed. In FIG. 7, microprocessor 40 comprises microcontroller 42 and A/D convertors 44 and 46. Microcontroller 42 includes microprocessor 48, I/O port 50 and memory 52 comprising RAM and ROM all interconnected by data bus 54. A/D convertor 44 receives digital data from I/O port 50 and provides representative analog data to variable phase shift circuitry 28 in FIG. 2. A/D convertor 46, on the other hand, receives analog data from the output of amplifier 36, labeled Vadj in FIG. 2, and provides a representative digital output to I/O port 50 in FIG. 7. Memory 52 provides temporary and permanent storage for microprocessor 48. Also shown in FIG. 7 is switch 56 which initiates the microprocessor controlled adjustment sequence.
In operation, capacitance probe 16 is placed a distance from the surface of magnetic storage disk 10 such that the only capacitance is due to stray capacitance. Switch 56 of FIG. 7 is then closed by an operator which initializes microprocessor system 40. Microcontroller 42 accepts data from A/D converter 46 which provides a digital representation of the phase difference between φ1 and φ2. Based upon this data, microprocessor 48 begins adjusting the digital output provided to A/D convertor 44 by I/O port 50 such that the output of A/D convertor 46 is set to zero. This microprocessor system is extremely useful because the circuit does not need to be manually calibrated each time measurement circuitry 20 is used.
The technique for measuring height above a magnetic storage disk described herein is useful for finding anomalies in a disk surface because it is simple, highly accurate and easy to use yet inexpensive to produce and maintain. The circuitry is also useful during disk operation for measuring the distance between the disk surface and the magnetic read/write head. The cable compensation circuitry provides even additional accuracy. The distance measuring method may be applied in many other situations where accurate displacement measurements are needed. For example, the method of measuring displacement is useful in any situation when physically touching the surface would be difficult or would alter the measured displacement value. Another possible use for the present invention is for strain gauge measurements. In a capacitance strain gauge, the capacitance probe is placed above the object under strain. As the object under strain deforms in a direction closer to or further away from the capacitance probe, the deflections may be measured as the phase shift varies as described above for a storage disk. The present invention may also be applied to read coded information where the code comprises a series of deformations in an object's surface.
One significant advantage of the present invention is its usefulness with different capacitance probes. The same circuitry may be used with capacitance probes having greatly varying electrical characteristics. For example, the same circuitry may be used with probes for measuring flying head height, mapping disk topography or mechanical displacement (such as in a capacitance strain gage).
Although the present invention is described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Last year I wrote about
the Torque 3D game engine wanting to come to Linux
and they were attempting a crowd-sourced campaign to finance the port. The campaign was a flop, but a developer has been bringing the support anyways to Linux.
The Torque 3D game engine was
already open-sourced
and has been used to power Tribes 2, Frozen Synapse, and other titles.
Dusan Jocic, a Phoronix reader and developer, has been porting the game engine to Linux. He was the developer of the OpenWolf engine while lately he's been playing around with the Torque 3D engine. "I want with this engine to provide remake of Wolfenstein Enemy Territory and Tremulous and of course they will be released as FOSS and F2P."
He's been sharing progress on his independent Torque 3D port to Linux via
this Phoronix Forums thread
As proof, in that thread he's shared several screenshots.
He's also shared this video via the Phoronix thread.
Dusan Jocic will be publishing his code soon for Torque 3D on Linux.

Reed College had to change its admittance list this year to deal with a shortage of financial aid. Altering enrollment does not fit with the school's academic goals, but it allows the campus to maintain other projects and priorities.

TEAMS: Miami Marlins
ATLANTA (AP) -- Miami rookie Jose Fernandez probably has two more starts before he'll be shut down, and the Marlins are adjusting his schedule to make sure those are home games. Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Saturday the team will hold firm to a 170-innings limit for the phenom. He has thrown 158 2-3 innings. The right-hander is 10-6 and ranks third in the National League with a 2.33 ERA. Fernandez's next start has been pushed back from Wednesday at the Cubs to Friday at home against the Nationals. His last start could come the following week in Miami against the Braves. Fernandez pitched six strong innings but took the loss when the Braves beat the Marlins 2-1 on Friday night.

Partnership for a Healthier America Announces Leaders
Former Senate Majority Leader and Newark mayor are named honorary vice chairs.
In her role as honorary chair of the Partnership for a Healthier America, First Lady Michelle Obama today announced that former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and Newark Mayor Cory Booker will serve as honorary vice chairs of the partnership as it begins its work to reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity.
A nine-member board of directors, chaired by Dr. James R. Gavin, III, will govern the organization. Gavin is CEO and chief medical officer of Healing Our Village, Inc., a health communication corporation working to change the health care system to improve health in medically underserved populations. He also is a clinical professor of medicine at both Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta and the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis.
The independent, nonpartisan partnership launched earlier this year to bring together the public, private and nonprofit leaders who must be part of the movement; to secure their sustained, measurable commitments to reversing the epidemic; and to track the impact of those commitments.
The partnership aims to advance progress toward the goals of the first lady's Let's Move campaign to curb childhood obesity within a generation.
Building on a long and successful track record of working together to create healthier communities, schools and child-care settings and prevent childhood obesity, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The California Endowment, Kaiser Permanente, Nemours, and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation worked together on the idea of the partnership, including how to provide startup funding and other support. These organizations are the founding members of the partnership. The Brookings Institution and Sonnenschein, Nath and Rosenthal, LLP also have provided advice and operational support for the startup and development of the organization.

Decadent Dreams by Ty Langston
Rating: 2/5
A really simple and short story. A girl meets a Russian guy on a dating website called "A Foreign Affair". They chat for over 6 months until she decided she wants to meet him in person. He travels to New York City and that's when the erotica comes in... I have to say, on the erotica scale, this was pretty tame. FYI - As of writing this review, the ebook is free on amazon if you have a prime account.

The York County Sheriff's Office is holding their annual Emergency Vehicle Operations Training all this week. Daimler Boulevard between Highway 49 and Highway 274 is closed for this training.
This is mandatory training for all the officers.
Each officer must pass an obstacle course that is two miles long at high speeds, without knocking over any cones.
"They come out here and they are put through a series of obstacles," said York County Sheriff's Office Lt. for the Training Division, Brian Boling. "They simulate different things they would encounter just on a regular routine patrol.
The Sheriff's Office says this training is to test their skills and to keep the officer's safe.
According to the Sheriff's Office, most officer related deaths occur in vehicle accidents. In this year to date, there have been 22 line-of-duty officer deaths and 11 of them were due to vehicle accidents.
"Ideally, it's just a good refresher and it's a form of measurement for us to make sure they are adhering to the safe driving principles that the Sheriff's office stands behind," said Boling.

Police have completed their search of the Dotcom Mansion in Coatesville after the arrest of the Megaupload kingpins -- taking computers, documents, luxury cars and artwork.
Now a political row is brewing over the decision to grant residency to Kim Dotcom, the boss of the file-sharing website who is in prison awaiting a bail hearing.
As the founder of Megaupload, Dotcom has spent his 38th birthday behind bars, and plans for a big bash at the Chrisco mansion in Coatesville are on hold.
This morning, all was quiet at the house – and there was no chance of talking to anyone inside but others in the Megaupload empire were trying to restore the file-sharing platform which claims to have captured four percent of all internet traffic,
Lawyers were insistent they had done nothing wrong.
Since the raid yesterday, more details have emerged of what happened with Police saying that when they arrived in two helicopters, Dotcom retreated into an electronically locked panic room which officers had to cut their way into.
Who is Kim Dotcom?
Read the story about the dramatic arrest
Police say they found him near a firearm that looked like a shortened shotgun when they entered the room.
Police searched the mansion until midnight, taking away assets, including luxury cars with number plates that included stoned, hacker, police and mafia.
During the case, the items become property of the official assignee and four FBI officers will remain here while Police prepare for Monday's court case.
Already, however, questions are being raised about the decision to give Kim Dotcom residency in 2010.
Dotcom came in under the investor plus category - meaning he agreed to invest $10 million in New Zealand Government bonds for three years - and despite two-year probation sentences for embezzlement and insider trading within the previous ten years he was let into the country.
His entry to the country has raised questions about millionaires being able to buy their way into residency in New Zealand.
In a statement the Immigration Service said that "Mr Dotcom made full disclosure of his previous convictions and they were taken into account in the granting of his residence.
"The Immigration Act allows for discretion to be exercised in certain cases. In this particular case Immigration NZ weighed the character issue and any associated risk to New Zealand against potential benefits to New Zealand."
The Government has confirmed no minister was involved in the decision, but the Labour Party will insists that given the risks involved one should have been.

The Stupendous Failure Of Big City Education: How The Philly Teachers Union Loots The SchoolsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/29/2014 20:19 -0400
So let us get this straight. The average Philadelphia teacher is receiving compensation and benefits of $112,700 and 50% of their students dropout; while of the remaining students only 45% can do math, 35% can read, and 30% can write. But at least they have some nice murals dotting the decaying schools. Furthermore, every new year will bring higher 'fairer' pension payment requirements. This is a crisis that grows larger by the day and is willfully ignored by politicians beholden to these government unions. The sheer idiocy of the following plan to "save" the schools this year is lost on the brainless media twits mouthing the teacher's union talking points.

Ron Paul: "Americans Must Choose Non-Interventionist Free Markets For Peace & Prosperity"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 20:03 -0400
Mark Spitznagel: "Mises will ultimately be right yet again about the inevitable final collapse of the current asset boom brought about by credit expansion. The term "black swan" (the surprising, unforeseen event) used for bursting financial bubbles has been and will remain a misnomer - we can and, indeed, should expect such tumults to occur at some point as a consequence of massive central bank intervention and economic distortion."
Ron Paul: "As to the unwinding of this mess, I'm convinced that when the current expansion ends it will be abrupt, gigantic, and worldwide. The 43-year expansion of Fed credit and debt, delivered to us by a fiat dollar standard, and held together artificially by an undeserved trust will end badly."

The Italian Job: How Borrowing And Printing Lead To An Economic Dead EndSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/21/2014 12:33 -0400
Given that this is 'officially' the worst-recovery-ever, one wonders why does the abysmally failed and dangerous monetary experimentation continue unabated — as Yellen will undoubtedly confirm at Jackson Hole? Self-evidently, it is irresistibly convenient to both Wall Street and Washington. Yet these screaming juxtapositions are lost in the recency bias of the mainstream narrative. Invariably, the "in-coming" data is tortured and rationalized to prove that just a few more doses of money and debt will do the trick. Consequently, the pattern and signal is obscured amidst the immediate noise. It is therefore perhaps useful to consider a more advanced case of this Keynesian debauch from elsewhere in the world. Consider Italy.

Along with Incrementum's 94-page extravaganza on gold, this infographic, the final in our 2014 Gold Series (part 1, part 2, part 3, & part 4 here) looks to the future, covering gold trends that investors should be watching through the rest of the year and beyond. With input from some of the most important names in gold such as Brent Cook, Doug Casey, Frank Holmes, Bob Moriarty, and James Fraser, we aim to cover the broadest and most important signals for investors to watch. Those include Chinese wealth, Indian demographics, money printing, debt, and a lack of significant gold discoveries.

The Rot Within, Part II: Inflation Is Not "Growth"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/23/2014 15:04 -0400
Just as the Federal Reserve cannot directly force you to stick the needle of monetary heroin (debt) into your arm, it also can't force employers to pay employees more. The ultimate hubris of the Keynesian Cargo Cult (which includes the global economy's central banks) is the naive notion that they can manipulate an entire system with a few levers such that the desired outcome--and only the desired outcome--is the output. The idea that you can change one input in an interconnected system of systems and only affect the one output you want is not just naive and simplistic: it requires a level of blindness and incompetence that is off the charts.

Krugman's Latest Debt Denial: Why His Two Magic Numbers Don't Cut ItSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/22/2014 20:02 -0400
Professor Krugman is at it again - conjuring fairy tales about a benign long-term fiscal outlook. Notwithstanding that the public debt has surged from 40% to 75% of GDP during the six short years since 2008, he claims there is no reason to fret and that there is no debt spiral anywhere in the future. In part that's because the Keynesian priesthood has declared that interest rates have down-shifted on a permanent basis. Under a regime of even modest monetary normalization over the next quarter century, current fiscal policy will lead to interest rates that are far higher, not lower, than the growth rate of nominal income. So its time to put Greece right back into the front and center of the US fiscal picture.

The people behind the curtain do not change with the change between left and right up in front of the curtain. It is always about power regardless of the side of politics.

Why Obamacare Is Pushing Up Health Insurance PremiumsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/06/2014 15:15 -0400
Now that Obamacare has been enacted, Americans across the nation are seeing their health insurance bills spiking, leading to what has been a documented slide in full-time hiring, a drop in consumer discretionary spending, not to mention stagnant and declining real wages. In short: a broad economic contraction (yes, yes, who could have possibly foreseen this). But how is it that insurers set their prices? As Bloomberg explains, insurers are calculating what to charge for health plans in 2015, which is no simple task. Actuaries can't easily forecast how often the millions of new Obamacare enrollees will go to a doctor. New federal rules and expensive drugs will also increase costs. Wrong guesses could wipe out profits. Here is a quick and dirty way to understand why premiums are going up.

People Not In Labor Force Rise To New Record, Participation Rate Remains At 35 Year LowsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2014 08:52 -0400
Those following the labor force participation rate (which as even the Census Bureau showed is declining not so much due to demographics but due to older people working longer and pushing younger people out of the labor force as we showed yesterday) will hardly be surprised to learn that alongside today's impressive NFP print, the reason why the unemployment rate took another big step lower from 6.3% to 6.1%, was once again as a result of the number of people not in the labor force, which in June rose to a fresh record high of 92,120K, up 111K from June.

Slamming The Door Shut On The "Plunging Labor Force Participation Rate" Debate Once And For AllSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/02/2014 20:33 -0400
"Many older workers managed to stay employed during the recession; in fact, the population in age groups 65 and over were the only ones not to see a decline in the employment share from 2005 to 2010 (Figure 3-25)... Remaining employed and delaying retirement was one way of lessening the impact of the stock market decline and subsequent loss in retirement savings."

Ray Evernham has left his role as a NASCAR analyst for ESPN to take a management position within Hendrick Motorsports.
The crew chief who guided Jeff Gordon to three Cup championships told SiriusXM NASCAR his new position at Hendrick entails him being involved with the competition department.
"I'll be working with everybody at Hendrick Motorsports as part of the management team,'' Evernham told "Sirius Speedway" hosts Dave Moody and Angie Skinner Tuesday. "I've met with crew chiefs and I think I've got a good perspective as they face different challenges."
Evernham has served as a consultant for Hendrick Companies -- Rick Hendrick's automotive company not associated with his NASCAR operation -- since 2011. In his new role Evernham says he will attend approximately 15 races, the same number he would have with ESPN.
While other analysts, both with ESPN as well as at FOX and TNT, have direct relationships with NASCAR teams, Evernham felt it was in his best interest to end his association with ESPN.
"I've been working with Hendrick Companies for the last few years but I didn't have an involvement in the motorsports stuff," Evernham said. "But now that I'm not doing the ESPN thing this will allow me to be involved in some of the management and some of the things that they're doing at (Hendrick) Motorsports.
"And the best way to avoid a conflict of interest is to choose one or the other. I'm excited about being able to go and being involved in the management team on the motorsports side. It's good for me. ...The best thing for me to do is to focus on my job (at Hendrick) and not lose my credibility with my fans and friends."
Although he will sit atop the pit box on race weekends, one thing Evernham will not do at Hendrick is resume being a crew chief in any capacity.
There was some speculation that with departure of Steve Letarte at the end of the year, Evernham could take over as the crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr., or reunite with Gordon, who he won 47 races and three championships with from 1993-99. Evernham quickly dismissed the notion.
"That's safe to say, I've said that time and time again" Evernham said, when asked about the possibility of working with Earnhardt or Gordon. "I'll be working with everybody.
"I will be going to meetings and be involved in competition things that I've not been involved with in the past three years or so."

May 21, 2007
Professor Eugene Pawlowski was honored with the teaching award at the 2007 Commencement Ceremony.
The Viktor Schreckengost award is named in honor of the Institute's beloved and internationally acclaimed alumnus Victor Schreckengost '29, who is known for his groundbreaking work in art and design. He inspired generations of young artists to find their artistic vision and improve our culture.
In November 2000, Viktor Schreckengost was presented with the first Viktor Schreckengost Teaching Award, established in his honor by Institute President David Deming '67. This award is to be presented to current and/or former faculty of The Cleveland Institute of Art in recognition of teaching excellence at the Institute over a period of at least 10 years.
The award is given to an exemplary teacher at the Institute who is dedicated to helping their students both in and out of the classroom. The winner must meet the following criteria:
+ A record of teaching excellence
+ Accomplishment in service to students beyond the environment of the classroom (i.e., mentoring, grants in support of student learning, establishment and support of internships, etc)
+ A distinguished professional record that serves as a model of a working artist for students
The 2007 recipient is Communication Design professor Eugene Pawlowski. Eugene graduated from the Institute in 1965 and began teaching here the following year in Communication Design. He has received several awards including the AIGA 50 Books of the Year, Cleveland Society of Communicating Arts Show, the New York Art Directors and Type Directors Shows, and the Society of Illustrators Show.
Past winners include Richard Fiorelli, Kathy Buszkiewicz, Bill Brouillard, and John Paul Miller.

Need to backup wordpress database
I have a blog on hostultra.com (from a long time ago!). Their website has been down for a few days and I am getting nervous.
I have backed up all my files.
However I need to backup my database. I cant get access to my cpanel as the hostultra.com site is down.
Can I backup just my database from within wordpress?
What I want to do is move it to another host, but I want to make sure I get the database ASAP.

To migrate files and database on new server, you first need to do a backup of the existing site. You can use this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/
The whole process looks like this:
1. transfer files to the new server
2. transfer the database
3. create a new user to the database
4. change information in wp-config.php (write new data to connect to the database)
5. do search and replace in the database, to replace the old urls (use this script http://interconnectit.com/products/s...ess-databases/)PopArt Web Design Studio

It is the basis for the Christian faith and one of the most important days on the Christian calendar. Pastor Bryan Knight says that it's hard not to get the adrenaline going for the holiday.
"It's the tempo. It's the passion. It's the excitement. It's the energy when you walk in. You really as a pastor, you ought to be able to walk in and people ought to be able to feed from how excited you are because without Easter, you have no church."
Next year Easter will take place on Sunday April fifth.

I'm using the author.php to list generate author archives for a multi-author site. It's for a radio station, and each DJ writes regular posts as well as play lists (both are in different categories). I would like to separate these two in the archive if possible. I imagine it's in the loop, and I tried modifying it with a query, which worked to split the content, but it didn't filter by author.
Here's an example of my author.php file - if it helps at all.
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));

<?php echo get_avatar( $curauth->ID , 80 ); ?>
