Blues activate Leopold from IR
Jan 3, 2014, 6:06 PM EST
The St. Louis Blues activated veteran defenseman Jordan Leopold from injured reserve on Friday, the club announced.
Leopold, 33, suffered ligament damage in his right hand on Nov. 7 versus Calgary and has been out ever since, missing 26 regular season contests while rehabbing the injury. Prior to getting hurt, he'd played in 13 games for the Blues and registered two assists with a plus-1 rating.
Earlier today, the Blues put forward Adam Cracknell on waivers, a move to clear up roster space as several injured Blues are slowly returning to health. Forward Ryan Reaves, who missed extensive time with a broken hand, was activated from IR on Thursday and played in St. Louis' 5-0 win over Los Angeles last night.
That leaves the Blues with only two players remaining on IR — forward and leading goalscorer Alex Steen, and defenseman Roman Polak.

So long Carlo! Great to have Leo back.
Ok, so when Backes comes back, I'm guessing Porter will be sent down. Who will sit once Steen returns? Pajaarvi was usually scratched, but I think he should get the spot ahead of Lapierre. He's starting to play the role that Hitch intended for him, and he has to be our fastest skater.
Jaskin was starting to play well too… gotta love the Blues' depth!

A High-Efficiency AC/DC Converter With Quasi-Active Power Factor CorrectionPage(s): 1103 - 1109| | Quick Abstract | PDF (620 KB) | | HTML
This letter presents a novel ac/dc converter based on a quasi-active power factor correction (PFC) scheme. In the proposed circuit, the power factor is improved by using an auxiliary winding coupled to the transformer of a cascade dc/dc flyback converter. The auxiliary winding is placed between the input rectifier and the low-frequency filter capacitor to serve as a magnetic switch to drive an input inductor. Since the dc/dc converter is operated at high-switching frequency, the auxiliary windings produce a high frequency pulsating source such that the input current conduction angle is significantly lengthened and the input current harmonics is reduced. It eliminates the use of active switch and control circuit for PFC, which results in lower cost and higher efficiency. In order to achieve low harmonic content, the input inductor is designed to operate in discontinuous current mode. Operating principles, analysis, and experimental results of the proposed method are presented. View full abstract»
Harmonic Modeling of Hysteresis Inverters in Frequency DomainPage(s): 1110 - 1114| | Quick Abstract | PDF (456 KB) | | HTML
This letter derives a closed-form analytical approximation of the output harmonic spectrum of a single-phase two-level inverter under the action of hysteresis current control. The analytical approach consists of first describing the error current as a triangular signal of variable duty cycle and frequency, and subsequently, deriving the Fourier transform of the complex envelope of the modulated triangular signal. The spectrum of the error current is given in terms of Bessel functions of the first kind. MATLAB/Simulink results on a half-bridge inverter are presented in this letter to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the proposed model. View full abstract»
High Resolution FPGA DPWM Based on Variable Clock Phase ShiftingPage(s): 1115 - 1119| | Quick Abstract | PDF (624 KB) | | HTML
This letter proposes a very high resolution digital pulsewidth modulator (DPWM) architecture that takes advantage of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) advanced clock management capability - the fine phase shifting of the clock. This feature is available in almost every FPGA nowadays, thus allowing very small and programmable delays between the input and output clocks. An original use of this fine phase shifting pushes the limits of DPWM resolution. The experimental results show a time resolution of 19.5 ps in a Virtex-5 FPGA. View full abstract»
Digital Sliding-Mode Controller For High-Frequency DC/DC SMPSPage(s): 1120 - 1123| | Quick Abstract | PDF (515 KB) | | HTML
Digital control technique is becoming an attractive alternative for high-frequency switching mode power supply (SMPS). This paper introduces a fully synthesizable digital sliding-mode (SM) controller for high-frequency dc/dc SMPS. The proposed SM controller is associated with a digital pulsewidth modulation (DPWM) block to operate at constant and high switching frequency compared to already published approaches. The digital SM controller is experimentally validated by means of field-programmable gate array in a 4-MHz step-down converter with 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and 11-bit DPWM. Measured dynamic performances are superior to conventional digital controllers for dc/dc SMPS. View full abstract»
Phenomenon Rotor Fault-Multiple Electrical Rotor Asymmetries in Induction MachinesPage(s): 1124 - 1134| | Quick Abstract | PDF (677 KB) | | HTML
In the literature, the effects caused by a single or several adjacently broken rotor bars, or a broken end ring are thoroughly investigated. The phenomenon of various nonadjacently broken rotor bars has not been studied so far in detail. Since nonadjacently broken rotor bars may give rise to fault signatures, which are not directly related with the fault extent, it is important to understand the nature of multiple electrical rotor asymmetries in induction machines. The purpose of this paper is thus to investigate several combinations of electrical rotor asymmetries, to systematically elaborate the phenomena related to the broken bars and end rings. In this paper, a sophisticated simulation model and measurement results are used to analyze the phenomenon rotor fault. View full abstract»
On the Switched-Reluctance Motor Drive With Three-Phase Single-Switch Switch-Mode Rectifier Front-EndPage(s): 1135 - 1148| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1529 KB) | | HTML
This paper presents a switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive powered by a three-phase single-switch (3P1SW) switch-mode rectifier (SMR). The digital controls of both power stages are realized in a common DSP. In the front-end SMR, a robust current harmonic cancellation scheme and a robust voltage control scheme are developed. The undesired line current and output voltage ripples are regarded as disturbances and they are reduced via the proposed robust controls. In voltage control, a feedback controller is augmented with a simple robust error canceller. The robust cancellation weighting factor is automatically tuned according to load level to yield compromised voltage and power quality control performances. The chaotic phenomena can be automatically avoided and better SMR operating performance is obtained simultaneously. With boostable and regulated dc-link voltage, the current and speed dynamic responses of the followed SRM drive are enhanced, and the vibration and speed ripple are also lessened. As to the SRM drive, a random-band hysteresis current-controlled pulsewidth modulation (CCPWM) scheme (RB-HCCPWM) with harmonic spectrum shaping is developed and applied for its winding excitation control. The winding current harmonic spectrum is more dispersedly distributed to yield reduced stator vibration and speed ripple. Moreover, the commutation advanced shift is applied to yield further performance improvement of SRM drive. View full abstract»
Zero-Voltage-Switching PWM Full-Bridge Converter Employing Auxiliary Transformer to Reset the Clamping Diode CurrentPage(s): 1149 - 1162| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1563 KB) | | HTML
Introducing clamping diodes into the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) full-bridge (FB) converters can eliminate the voltage oscillation across the output rectifier diodes; however, the clamping diodes result in increase in conduction loss and suffer from serious reverse recovery at light load. In order to solve these problems, the clamping diode current should be reset rapidly. This paper proposes a scheme of resetting the clamping diode current over the full-load range by introducing an auxiliary transformer into the ZVS PWM FB converter. The operation principles of the proposed scheme under heavy-load and light-load conditions are analyzed in details. The design considerations of the introduced auxiliary transformer are also given. A performance comparison among the proposed scheme of resetting the clamping diode current and other ones are addressed. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the analysis and prove that the proposed converter has improved reliability and reduced conduction loss compared with the classical one.

High-Density EMI Filter Design for DC-Fed Motor DrivesPage(s): 1163 - 1172| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1368 KB) | | HTML
This paper presents strategies to reduce both differential-mode (DM) and common-mode (CM) noise using a passive filter in a dc-fed motor drive. The paper concentrates on the type of grounding and the components to optimize filter size and performance. Grounding schemes, material comparison between ferrite and nanocrystalline cores, and a new integrated filter structure are presented. The integrated structure maximizes the core window area and increases the leakage inductance by integrating both CM and DM inductances onto one core. Small-signal and large-signal experiments validate the structure, showing it to have reduced filter size and good filtering performance when compared with standard filters at both low and high frequencies.

Reduced-Order Flux Observers With Stator-Resistance Adaptation for Speed-Sensorless Induction Motor DrivesPage(s): 1173 - 1183| | Quick Abstract | PDF (471 KB) | | HTML
This paper deals with reduced-order flux observers with stator-resistance adaptation for speed-sensorless induction motor (IM) drives. A general analytical solution for the stabilizing observer gain is given. The gain has two free positive parameters (which depend on the operating point), whose selection significantly affects the damping, convergence rate, robustness, and other properties of the observer. The general stability conditions for the stator-resistance adaptation are derived. An observer design is proposed that yields a robust and well-damped system and requires a minimal amount of tuning work. The proposed observer design is experimentally tested using a 45-kW IM drive; stable operation at very low speeds under different loading conditions is demonstrated. View full abstract»
Dead-Beat Control Algorithm for Single-Phase 50-kW AC Railway Grid RepresentationPage(s): 1184 - 1192| | Quick Abstract | PDF (464 KB) | | HTML
The control of four-quadrant converters (4QC) of traction vehicles fed by an ac railway grid has to meet very restrictive limitations with regard to harmonics and stability. The challenge is increased by continuously changing the position-dependent grid impedance and voltage harmonics already contained in the grid voltage. Testing a 4QC control in a lab, therefore, requires a railway grid representation that both emulates variable grid impedance and grid-voltage harmonics. The paper presents an innovative solution to this problem that employs a 4Q inverter with a suitably designed new control scheme. As the rated power is not high, compared to the traction vehicle fed, the control has to be effective, taking each switching event of the inverter into account. For the design of the control, a suitable simulation is needed, which is also presented in this paper. A comparison of simulation and measurement results is given, proving excellent results.

A Soft-Switching DC/DC Converter With High Voltage GainPage(s): 1193 - 1200| | Quick Abstract | PDF (655 KB) | | HTML
A soft-switching dc/dc converter with high voltage gain is proposed in this paper. It provides a continuous input current and high voltage gain. Moreover, soft-switching characteristic of the proposed converter reduces switching loss of active power switches and raises the conversion efficiency. The reverse-recovery problem of output rectifiers is also alleviated by controlling the current changing rates of diodes with the use of the leakage inductance of a coupled inductor. Experimental results obtained on 200 W prototype are discussed. View full abstract»
Fault-Tolerant Structure and Modulation Strategies With Fault Detection Method for Matrix ConvertersPage(s): 1201 - 1210| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1066 KB) | | HTML
This paper proposes a fault-tolerant matrix converter with reconfigurable structure and modified switch control schemes, along with a fault diagnosis technique for open-circuited switch failures. The proposed fault recognition method can detect and locate a failed bidirectional switch with voltage error signals dedicated to each switch, based on a direct comparison of the input and the output voltages. Following the fault detection, the designed converter architecture isolates the faulty parts and bypasses the remaining load phase, resulting in a 3 ?? 2 matrix configuration with six bidirectional switches. Based on the reconfigured hardware topology, novel fault-tolerant modulation strategies are developed to produce three-phase balanced sinusoidal output voltages/currents with only six bidirectional switches, but at a reduced output voltage magnitude as compared with the normal matrix converter. Thus, the developed switching function matrices for the reconfigurable converter structure, containing an appropriate positive- and negative-sequence set of matrices with input voltage vector, can preserve continuous operation even after switch failures and improve reliability of the drives.

Soft-Switched CCM Boost Converters With High Voltage Gain for High-Power ApplicationsPage(s): 1211 - 1217| | Quick Abstract | PDF (905 KB) | | HTML
This paper proposes a new soft-switched continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) boost converter suitable for high-power applications such as power factor correction, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell power conversion systems. The proposed converter achieves zero-voltage-switched (ZVS) turn-on of active switches in CCM and zero-current-switched turn-off of diodes leading to negligible reverse-recovery loss. The components' voltage ratings and energy volumes of passive components of the proposed converter are greatly reduced compared to the conventional zero-voltage-transition converter. Voltage conversion ratio is almost doubled compared to the conventional boost converter. Extension of the proposed concept to realize multiphase dc-dc converters is discussed. Experimental results from a 1.5-kW prototype are provided to validate the proposed concept. View full abstract»
New Modeling Approach and Equivalent Circuit Representation for Current-Mode ControlPage(s): 1218 - 1230| | Quick Abstract | PDF (3065 KB) | | HTML
Constant on-time current-mode control has been widely used to improve light-load efficiency, because it can reduce the switching frequency to save switching-related loss. Therefore, an accurate model for constant on-time control is indispensable to system design. However, available models for constant on-time control are unable to provide accurate physical insight or predict system response very well. This paper introduces a new modeling approach for constant on-time control. The inductor, the switches, and the pulsewidth-modulated modulator are treated as a single entity and modeled based on the describing function method. The fundamental difference between constant on-time control and constant-frequency peak-current-mode control is analyzed through the proposed model. This proposed modeling method can be easily extended to other current-mode controls, including V2 controls. A simple equivalent circuit representation is proposed for the sake of easy understanding and simulation of current-mode controls. Simulation and experimental results are used to verify the proposed model. View full abstract»
Evaluating Energy Storage Efficiency by Modeling the Voltage and Temperature Dependency in EDLC Electrical CharacteristicsPage(s): 1231 - 1239| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1233 KB) | | HTML
This study characterizes and models the temperature and charge voltage dependency in the electrical characteristics of a packed electric double layer capacitor (EDLC). The characterized results indicate that the frequency response of the terminal impedance in a packed EDLC varies with the charge voltage and temperature. The latter can be attributed mainly to the temperature change of the resistive component because the thermal sensitivity of the capacitive component is low, whereas the resistive component increases as the temperature drops. A multistage RC equivalent circuit model is developed, and three stages are determined to be adequate to reduce the model error for the studied EDLC. The charge voltage dependency in the capacitance of the extracted equivalent circuit is modeled by the physics-based Stern's model. The temperature dependency of the internal resistance is modeled by the quadratic function of temperature. The large signal response of the proposed model is verified with charge/discharge experiments at various temperatures. The proposed EDLC model suitably expresses the time response of the terminal voltage and current, can estimate the charged and discharged electrical power and energy of the EDLC, and explains the degradation of energy efficiency at low temperature.

STATCOM-Based Indirect Torque Control of Induction Machines During Voltage Recovery After Grid FaultsPage(s): 1240 - 1250| | Quick Abstract | PDF (948 KB) | | HTML
This paper proposes a control method for limiting the torque of grid-connected cage induction machines during the recovery process after grid faults, by using a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) connected at the machine terminals. When a STATCOM is used for transient stability improvement, common practice is to design the control system to keep reactive current at maximum level until the voltage has returned to its initial value. This will result in high torques during the recovery process after grid faults. The control method proposed in this paper is intended to limit such torque transients by temporarily defining a new voltage reference for the STATCOM control system. As torque is controlled through the voltage reference of the STATCOM, the method is labeled indirect torque control (ITC). The presented concept is a model-based approach derived from a quasi-static equivalent circuit of the induction machine, the STATCOM and a The??venin representation of the power system. For illustration and verification, time-domain simulations of a wind power generation system with a STATCOM at the terminals of an induction generator, are provided. As the objective of limiting the torque of the induction machine is achieved, the derivation of the concept proves to be reasonable. The approach is presented in its most general form, oriented to torque limitation of induction machines both in generating and motoring mode, and is not restricted to the presented example.

Comprehensive Compact Models for the Circuit Simulation of Multichip Power ModulesPage(s): 1251 - 1264| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1362 KB) | | HTML
This paper proposes the model development of a packaged semiconductor power module, for use in a circuit simulation environment. Focusing on railway traction applications, it considers a state-of-the-art 6.5 kV insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module, taking into account the antiparallel connection of IGBTs and free-wheeling diodes, and including all main electrothermal and electromagnetic effects associated with the multichip structure. The description of semiconductor physics is coupled with self-heating effects; electromagnetic phenomena associated with the packaging, layout, and interconnections are also taken into account. To optimize the compromise between accuracy and computational effort, the device models are based on a mixed physical and behavioral description, and are scalable to be representative of a desired number of parallel devices and to allow for the introduction of parasitic elements, as required. Electromagnetic effects are modeled by means of equivalent lumped elements, extracted by numerical simulation of an accurate 3-D structural assembly model. The description of transient thermal phenomena relies on a finite-difference approach that considers the use of both essentially 1-D lumped equivalent models and fully 3-D distributed description. The model is validated statically and dynamically, against both data-sheet information and measurements; a selection of simulation examples demonstrates its usefulness and versatility. Although developed for a specific application scenario, the proposed approach is of general validity. View full abstract»

An AC Processing Pickup for IPT SystemsPage(s): 1275 - 1284| | Quick Abstract | PDF (430 KB) | | HTML
This paper presents a new type of inductive power transfer (IPT) pickup that directly regulates the power in ac form, hence producing a controllable high-frequency ac source suitable for lighting applications. The pickup has significant advantages in terms of increasing system efficiency, reducing pickup size, and lowering production cost compared to traditional pickups that also produce a controlled ac output using complex ac-dc-ac conversion circuits. The new ac processing pickup employs switches operating under zero-voltage-switching conditions to clamp parts of the resonant voltage across a parallel tuned LC resonant tank to achieve power regulation over a wide load range. The operation of the pickup is analyzed and the circuit waveforms have been verified by experimental results. A complete IPT system using the ac processing pickup was tested on a 500-W lighting system and an efficiency of 96% was obtained when delivering 500 W to multiple resistive light bulbs.

Single-Phase to Three-Phase Drive System Using Two Parallel Single-Phase RectifiersPage(s): 1285 - 1295| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1128 KB) | | HTML
This paper proposes a single-phase to three-phase drive system composed of two parallel single-phase rectifiers, a three-phase inverter, and an induction motor. The proposed topology permits to reduce the rectifier switch currents, the harmonic distortion at the input converter side, and presents improvements on the fault tolerance characteristics. Even with the increase in the number of switches, the total energy loss of the proposed system may be lower than that of a conventional one. The model of the system is derived, and it is shown that the reduction of circulating current is an important objective in the system design. A suitable control strategy, including the pulsewidth modulation technique (PWM), is developed. Experimental results are presented as well. View full abstract»
A Fully Regulated Dual-Output DC–DC Converter With Special-Connected Two Transformers (SCTTs) Cell and Complementary Pulsewidth Modulation–PFM (CPWM-PFM)Page(s): 1296 - 1309| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1469 KB) | | HTML
A dual-output dc-dc converter based on the complementary pulsewidth modulation is proposed to overcome the cross-regulation problem between the outputs. Using a special-connected two transformers cell, one operational period is divided into two complementary parts. One output branch gets the pulsewidth and is regulated by the duty cycle; the other output branch gets the complementary pulsewidth and is regulated by the PFM. Only one full bridge and several passive components are needed, but both the two outputs have the fully regulated abilities even in the no-load situation. Moreover, a full zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) range is achieved in all the switches without auxiliary circuits. Therefore, the proposed topology has compact structure, high switching frequency, high-power density, and high efficiency. The operation principle, ZVS conditions, and design considerations are presented in the paper. The analysis is verified by a 300 V input, and 24 V/10 A and 48 V/5 A outputs prototype.

An Adaptive Flux Observer With Online Estimation of DC-Link Voltage and Rotor Resistance For VSI-Based Induction MotorsPage(s): 1310 - 1319| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1630 KB) | | HTML
An adaptive observer is proposed for concurrent estimation of rotor fluxes, unknown dc-link voltage, and rotor resistance of induction motor with voltage source inverters. For the reported flux observers and parameter estimators, the implied assumption had been that the input voltages were measured by sensors, or presumed to be known, for example while plug-in converters were utilized. However, this assumption may not be valid due to bus voltage variations, such as for battery powered servo drives, or propulsion system in hybrid electric vehicles. A drift in input voltage measurement results in state and parameter estimation errors. The proposed observer is capable of concurrent flux and dc-link voltage observation with online tuning of rotor resistance, while the phase currents and rotor speed are measured. No terminal voltage measurement is needed for this adaptive observer. The stability of the proposed observer is proved based on a Lyapunov function. Besides, it is shown that injection of a diagnosis signal is necessary to force the estimated parameters converge to the right values regardless of their initial conditions. A complex programmable logic device is implemented for the experimental setup, which controls an intelligent power module including insulated gate bipolar transistors. Extensive simulation and experimental tests verify the asymptotic convergence of the proposed observer. View full abstract»

Joris de Man is the man behind the music of all the Killzone games, including the new one which hits PS3 next month. Music4Games caught up with de Man during the KZ2 score recordings at Abbey Road Studios back in November, and have gotten quite a few interesting tidbits out of him regarding the game's composition.
Said de Man, "In total there is around 60 minutes of interactive in-game music (the music adapts its intensity to the gameplay), which was done with midi, and 28 minutes of orchestral music for the front-end and cutscenes, which is being recorded here at Abbey Road." All of that will be new music, but that doesn't mean some old tunes won't appear. Lovers of the original "Helghast Theme" from the first Killzone will be excited to know that it'll still be around in KZ2 but with "a new variation."
Another part of the interview which tickled our interest is the possibility of a separate soundtrack album release. While gaming soundtrack albums are all too common in Japan, Western titles have yet to truly pick up on the trend -- GTA and its myriad of radio station compilations don't count. De Man said "it's something we're looking into with Sony Music."

Is Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline making less of an impact?
Two years ago, I wrote about how Brian Hartline was emerging as an incredible threat to opposing defenses for the Miami Dolphins. Paired up with Ryan Tannehill served as a spring board for Hartline as he lead the team with his first ever 1,000 yard- 70 plus catch season and nearly repeated that same mark despite the addition of free agent Mike Wallace.

What's the deal with Brian Hartline?
Last season, Brian Hartline proved his worth by hauling in 76 passes for 1,016 yards. However, it was the pass catch and run that eclipsed 1,000 yards that proved almost fatal for Hartline's career. As a result, Hartline hobbled off the field in pain and would never return. Dolphins fans feared the worst. Most of all, after Hartline was lost for the game Ryan Tannehill became...

Vatican declares Mexico's 'Saint of Death' blasphemous
Popular folk icon described as a 'degeneration of religion'
(Picture: Huffington Post)
- Mexico
- May 9, 2013
The Vatican's culture minister says Mexico's folk Death Saint is a blasphemous symbol that shouldn't be part of any religion.
Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi says worshipping such an icon is a degeneration of religion.
The Santa Muerte is a skeletal figure of a cloaked woman with a scythe in her bony hand. It is worshipped both by drug dealers in Mexico and by the terrified people who live in drug-torn neighborhoods.
Ravasi spoke Wednesday at a dialogue among believers and nonbelievers in Mexico City as part of the Vatican's "Courtyard of the Gentiles." The program was started in 2009 by Pope Benedict XVI, who said the Roman Catholic Church should hold such meetings so nonbelievers could get to know God.

Italy coach Prandelli says squad are focusing on Germany rather than dwelling on England win
With fewer than than 24 hours passed since Italy's penalty shootout victory over England sealed their placed in the Euro 2012 semi-finals, coach Cesare Prandelli told his players to 'turn the page'.
The Azzurri beat England on spot-kicks after a goalless draw in Kiev to reach the last four of the competition for the first time since 2000.
Prandelli has now turned his attention to Thursday's showdown against Germany in Warsaw.
Focused: Cesare Prandelli is preparing for the semi-final
'We have only celebrated for 10 minutes,' Prandelli said. 'We have turned the page and our focus is already on Germany.
'The Germans alongside Spain are favourites to win the European Championship.
'I'm not the first to discover how good they (the Germans) are, they are playing very well.'
Italy captain Gianluigi Buffon, who saved Ashley Cole's penalty, urged his team-mates not to get carried away by the win.
'We cannot forget that we have only overcome the quarter-final stage,' Buffon said. 'I cannot start jumping for joy after taking a spot in the semi-finals.
'I will only do that when we win something as a team.
'Those of us that have won something important want to repeat that and achieve it also for those that haven't won a trophy yet.'
The Azzurri face a major test in the last four as Germany have won all of their games so far in Poland and Ukraine.
Ready: Gianluigi Buffon says Italy have the character to beat anyone
Joachim Low's men, runners-up at Euro 2008, brushed aside Greece 4-2 last Friday to record their fourth straight triumph in the tournament.
'They are probably favourites,' Buffon said. 'But we have the character to face anyone.
'No-one goes into a game wanting to finish second.'
Buffon, a member of Italy's World Cup winning squad in 2006, praised the fighting spirit the team displayed against England.
'We deserved the win considering what we did throughout the game,' the Juventus goalkeeper said. 'We were better than them, we created so many goalscoring chances.
'We were even physically stronger than they were and we showed that until the last second of extra-time. We have to continue on this path.'
Dangerous: Mario Balotelli turned in a good display
Prandelli has some injury concerns heading into the encounter against Germany.
Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi hurt himself on Sunday and is doubtful.
'I hope to recover in time for the semi-final,' De Rossi said. 'The sciatic nerve is causing me pain and right now I am not optimistic.'
Right-back Ignazio Abate is also doubtful with a muscle injury in his leg, while Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is unlikely to recover from a hamstring problem that saw him miss the England game.
To complicate matters for Prandelli, left-back Christian Maggio, who came on as a second-half substitute against England in place of injured Abate, will miss Thursday's game through suspension.

I made these trousers in stretch cotton/linen as part of my outfit for April. When I was making them I did a few alterations to improve the fit, but I still wasn't really happy with the fit. This is after some more alterations to the depth of the crotch and the width of the legs. I'm much happier with them now and it has been a learning experience in fitting trousers!
The pattern is from Burda Style 1/2009 pattern 121

Scenes from Experts Discussing Water Contamination Join Spirited What's Next Discussion
Activist Myra Nye who grew up next to the Bayer Plant in Institute, WV discussed how to petition and lobby legislators so that a tragedy like this can never happen again.
Others asked that the Public Service Commission be contacted noting that West Virginia American Water will ask for a rate increase in 2015 to recoup their expenses from cleaning up after their intake became contaminated and for the expense of providing bottled water.
Bringing the crisis home to Huntington, the lack of a backup supply and the fact that the intake in the city was not turned off were discussed. Matt Pinson, vice president of Pinson Coal and HNN publisher, displayed a map illustrating concerns about the proximity of the water intake to Special Metals a.k.a. Huntington Alloys, where they worked with closely with the Atomic Energy Commission weapons facility in the 1950s and early 1960s. Several former employees allege that debris from that facility were buried in the Dietz Hollow landfill in Guyandotte.
The remainder of the debris was, according to official previously published documents, transported to Piketon, Ohio , and buried at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant where it leached into the groundwater and contaminated the acquifer .
In addition, several audience members discussed other WV spills that have caused harm to their families, including one woman who attested to an incident at the University of Charleston where several female students sustained serious injuries from drinking water that contained dioxins and arsenic.
Former Huntington Sanitary Board executive director and former Huntington Assistant Public Works Director attended the meeting at Marshall.
An additional story will follow.

About Us
Retired June 01,1989 Died February 23,2013
Major General Harold W. Todd is commandant of the Air War College and vice commander of Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala.
General Todd was born in 1938, in Chicago and graduated from Gonzaga High School in Washington, D.C., in 1955. The following month he entered the first class of the U.S. Air Force Academy, temporarily located at Lowry Air Force Base, Colo. In 1958 the academy moved to its permanent site north of Colorado Springs, and in June 1959 General Todd graduated with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant. He graduated from Squadron Officer School, Maxwell Air Force Base, in 1967 and the National War College, Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, D.C., in 1975.
After graduation from the academy, General Todd completed flight training at Bartow Air Base, Fla., and Webb Air Force Base, Texas, and received his pilot wings in August 1960. He then had combat crew training at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., and Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. In June 1961 he was assigned to the 307th Bombardment Wing, Lincoln Air Force Base, Neb., as a B-47 pilot. During this assignment his crew performed nuclear ground alert duties at their home base and at several overseas bases in Spain and England. His unit was deactivated and in March 1965 General Todd moved to the 380th Bombardment Wing, Plattsburgh Air Force Base, N.Y. In January 1966 General Todd completed B-52 combat crew training and joined the 99th Bombardment Wing at Westover Air Force Base, Mass. As a B-52 crew commander, he participated in two wing deployments to the Western Pacific and flew 156 combat missions in Southeast Asia.
In January 1970 General Todd was assigned to the 2nd Air Force at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., where he served successively as an air training staff officer, special projects officer and aide to the 2nd Air Force commander.
General Todd transferred to Headquarters U.S. Air Forces in Europe at Wiesbaden, Germany, in March 1971 as executive and aide to the vice commander in chief. In September 1971 he became aide and pilot for the dual-hatted U.S. Air Forces in Europe commander in chief and commander, 4th Allied Tactical Air Force. The headquarters relocated to Ramstein Air Base, Germany, in March 1973. During this period he participated in an international study examining air reorganization in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's central region and authored the organization's study which led to the creation of Allied Air Forces Central Europe.
In August 1974 General Todd entered the National War College and after graduation in June 1975 was assigned as special assistant to the chief of staff, Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C. From November 1976 to May 1977, he served as chief of the Concept Development Division in the newly reorganized Directorate of Concepts, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans and Operations. He was then assigned as chief of the Readiness and North Atlantic Treaty Organization Staff Group, Office of the Vice Chief of Staff, Headquarters U.S. Air Force. In July 1978 he was named executive assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Todd took command of the 25th Air Division at McChord Air Force Base, Wash., in September 1980. Returning to Europe in September 1982, General Todd became chief of staff, 4th Allied Tactical Air Force Heidelberg, Germany. He assumed his present duties in July 1985.
The general is a command pilot with more than 4,000 flying hours. His military decorations and awards include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit with oak leaf cluster, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with seven oak leaf clusters, Air Force Commendation Medal, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award Ribbon with "V" device, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with palm and the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Michael Laudrup claims Chelsea enquired about him becoming their new manager before Jose Mourinho was reappointed - reports
Swansea manager's brother Brian had a brief spell at the Blues in 1998
James Orr
James Orr is a Digital Sports Reporter for The Independent.
Thursday 10 October 2013
Michael Laudrup, the Swansea City manager, has claimed that Chelsea enquired about him becoming their new manager last summer, before Jose Mourinho was reappointed at Stamford Bridge.
The Dane, whose brother Brian made 11 appearances for Chelsea in the 1998-99 season, was linked with numerous jobs after guiding the Welsh side to the Capital One Cup last season, and had revealed during the Swans pre-season tour of the Netherlands that "big clubs" were interested in him. A well-documented falling out between Laudrup's agent and the Swansea chairman only intensified the speculation of the manager leaving over the summer.
"Someone from Chelsea wanted to know about my availability, but there was never anything concrete," Laudrup, who joined Swansea from Getafe in 2012, was quoted in Portuguese newspaper A Bola.
"Also, I had given my word that I would be in Swansea."
One of Laudrup's key players at Swansea, the striker Michu, says he is now in the Spanish set-up because of Laudrup. The 27-year-old is expected to win his first cap at international level on Friday night against Belarus.
"It's because of Michael Laudrup that I am here," Michu told Swansea's official website. "He is one of the best managers I have ever worked with in my life."

Quote by PlatoAny one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter light, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light.

Worse HotelPosted Nov 21, 2014
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything. Expedia could see that our money is refunded.
Location: Bentonville, Arkansas is a lovely town.
Hotel clerk was disorientated had problems finding our information. We entered the room. The floor was filthy with pieces of trash all over the floor. Companion pulled edge of covers back on one bed and sheets were dirty. Went back to desk and reported what was wrong. Clerk gave us a "suite" saying only difference was a chair. Entered suite that appeared in better condition. however, upon looking closer baseboards had been pulled away and black mold was all along baseboard. conditions were unfavorable in particular for one person with asthma. We told the desk clerk couldn't stay due to poor and unhealthy conditions Desk clerk gave no indications it was a problem in cancelling and we left. Subsequently hotel has denied our request to refund charges to credit card. While a guarantee 24 hour cancellation, the cancellation was due to hotel problems not ours. The worst hotel I've ever been in and worst management.

Not worth $99 a nightPosted Oct 30, 2014
Pros: The A/C was nice and cold.
Cons: Breakfast was not good.
Location: Waffle house was within walking distance. At least we could get breakfast there!
Luckily we were just there for a football game and didn't spend much time in the room. The room was ok, just a basic room. We went down for the "free" breakfast at around 8:45 a.m. and nothing was left but cold cereal, bread and waffle batter. That was a disappointment. I would not stay here again.

First they put us in a smoking room. They switched us to a non smoking room that was a little musty but tolerable. The place is very old and run down but it is clean. The toilet was slow to flush but finally did. You definitely get what you pay for. Breakfast was sparse. I was hoping for fruit, but no. For the construction workers staying there it is fine. But I wouldn't send any of my family or friends. Ladies are not going to be comfortable here.

Econolodge- Shabby exterior needs maintenancePosted Jun 30, 2014
Very disappointed in the overall condition of the facility. The exterior is really shabby. Rolls of old carpet sitting in a pile by a storage shed near the front entry. The pool and spa were closed. I was embarrassed to take my family there. If Expedia had not charged my card with the reservation I would have gone elsewhere. Good points: The room was clean and the furnishings were decent. But lots of dings on the walls and damage to the base. Weak water pressure. That's it for me and Econolodge. I guess this says a lot about the nature of lodging when a mid price "hotel" looks like this.

I did the job...but that's about it.Posted Jun 20, 2014 on Hotels.com
We were in town for just one night and needed somewhere to stay on a budget. So we couldn't be very picky I guess. The Pros.- Service was friendly. Location and Surrounding area was good. A/C worked great. Bed was comfortable. It was cheap. The Cons.- Locks were broken on the door. Carpet was dirty. Pool had a green hue to it. Too many maintenance items too list. It was cheap. Other than that it did the trick for what we needed so I didn't rate it too badly but you might if you stay there.
