A PEOPLE carrier driver hit a moped and kocked its rider over but failed to stop at the scene.
Police are appealing for the driver or any witnesses to come forward after the crash yesterday (Wednesday) at around 8.30am.
A woman was riding the moped along Ashlawn Road when the dark blue people carrier, travelling in the opposite direction, overtook a bicycle.
While performing the manoeuvre, the car clipped the moped's handlebars, knocking it and its rider to the ground.
But the driver failed to stop at the scene of the crash and drove off.
The woman suffered cuts, bruises and whiplash in the accident, and her moped was damaged.

N.Y. Lawsuit Seeks More School Funding for 'Sound Basic Education'
A new lawsuit claims that New York state has not lived up to the K-12 funding commitments it began to satisfy in 2007, citing budget cuts in recent years.
A new lawsuit claims that New York state has not lived up to the K-12 funding commitments it began to satisfy in 2007, citing budget cuts in recent years.
Cindy Hill has said she'll resume her previous duties as Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction, but an ongoing state investigation into her conduct still could pose problems.
As Kansas awaits a landmark decision on K-12 school funding, what's happening in the Evergreen State might provide a preview of fights over who controls the budget.
As she begins her run for governor, the Wyoming superintendent faces the possibility of impeachment by lawmakers due to possible misconduct.
The court said Georgia's historical precedent clearly allowed for the state to remove local officials under certain circumstances.
Foes of the 2012 state law allowing charters say it runs afoul of the state constitution, but its defenders say it's a key piece of the state's education policy shift.
The lawsuit filed against the department by plaintiffs in the Empire State says the group's data cloud puts private student information at risk.
A new Indiana A-F school accountability system approved by a legislative panel Nov. 1 would put more emphasis on student growth.
Five Wisconsin teachers have sued to permit provisions of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's controversial Act 10 regarding collective bargaining, passed in 2011, to proceed.
A-F school accountability is at the heart of a lawsuit filed by Indiana Superintendent Glenda Ritz against the state board of education over open meetings.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
POETRY: Bold meditation on murder mixes banal, bizarre
TORONTO'S Kathryn Mockler begins The Saddest Place on Earth (DC, 70 pages, $18) with some sage advice: "It is not a good idea to be in the same room as / someone who is just about to murder you."
Thus begins a meditation on murder that oscillates between thoughts banal and bizarre. Mockler tends towards the sardonic.
Many poems read like micro-fictions or dialogues: "This weekend I'm going to rock out, he said. / Good for you, I said. I'm planning to kill myself."
The collection's highlight, Serial Killers, presents a science-fictional, Hollywood high-concept premise as its kick-off: "Humanity is stopped in its tracks when / everyone is sterilized to eliminate the human / race. Basically it's mass suicide."
"Wow that's a good idea," says Mockler's speaker, surprising both herself and us. "So in this scenario getting pregnant is the / worst thing you could do for mankind. // Yes, it's worse than serial killers." Mockler's bold, brilliant poems brim with shock and surprise.
-- -- --
Vancouver's Elizabeth Bachinsky strikes a casual, chatty tone in The Hottest Summer in Recorded History (Nightwood, 80 pages, $19), at various points reproducing an instant messenger chat as an episodic long poem. As "Elizabeth" sits by the ocean in bored celebration of finishing The Hottest Summer in Recorded History, her friend "David" (McGimpsey?) is "in the hizzy" and excited about the prospect of "Alice Munro porn."
Bachinsky has a way of inviting the reader into the poem, and talking as if off the cuff in a coffee shop, while remaining a strong artisan with careful attention to craft. The best illustration is the poem Somewhere There Is Someone Waiting, which begins by completing the title's sentence: "To dislike this poem, to dislike me."
"There are so many reasons to dislike me / and this poem," writes Bachinsky, but I can't think of one.
-- -- --
Toronto's Sarah Pinder debuts strongly in Cutting Room (Coach House, 88 pages, $18), invoking both the violence of the title image (a room where you cut yourself, or torture another) and how it suggests a place where fragments cohere (in this book and these poems, which "cut" images together like a film editor).
Pinder imagines "every eye a question, a pan, an establishing shot." The reader's eye might be said to work this way. When a "prison clicks / into place," the poem reports that a "crane lifts each little geometry, / nests it with like parts," but the poet and the reader both work similarly to construct that prison.
The most haunting poem imagines that "a string of ghosts appears in your inbox, / and this is how you answer each of them, // always, little sails." Behind each possible interpretation the reader, a spectre of sorts, flags as special every missive, each line.
-- -- --
Calgary's Derek Beaulieu and Colorado's Lori Emerson have selected a variety of experimental fictions by John Riddell (that most resemble visual poems) in the collection Writing Surfaces (Wilfrid Laurier, 158 pages, $20).
The title is best reading as if "surfaces" were a verb, so that the book presents an implicit argument that writing "surfaces" despite the sense that Riddell is attempting to destroy the possibility of writing. One sequence literally finds Riddell feeding poems he has written into a shredder and presenting images of the unreadable, shredded text.
Riddell's experiments remain radical, whereas much similar work from the period seems dated. Writing Surfaces thus recovers Riddell's reputation while reframing his oeuvre in a contemporary context.
Winnipeg English professor Jonathan Ball (@jonathanballcom) recently published The Politics of Knives (Coach House Books), which won a Manitoba Book Award.

I'm building a paid app and an accompanying lite version with iAds. The paid version now and then displays this error in the log:
2011-09-12 15:05:24.751 [29318:12b03] ViewController::bannerView didFailToReceiveAdWithError (NO ADS):Error Domain=ADErrorDomain Code=3 "The operation couldn't be completed. Ad inventory unavailable" UserInfo=0x61d0b60 {ADInternalErrorCode=3, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Ad inventory unavailable}
I'm a bit surprised this happens, as I am doing this to stop iAds in the paid version:
[iAdBannerView removeFromSuperview];
iAdBannerView.hidden = YES;
// (not setting) iAdBannerView.delegate = nil;
iAdBannerView = nil;
I cannot remove every reference to iAds in my app, as I have the iAd banner in a nib, and I prefer to have one nib with everything in it, for both app version. Hence the iAd framework is in my binary.
So, anyone an idea how to really stop the iAds system starting for your app when it should not?

The Pizza Effect
Foods that have a high fat content (i.e., over 25 g), such as pizza, peanuts, and ice cream, can cause a delayed blood glucose spike. The fat in these foods slows the absorption of carbohydrates, which can result in normal levels two to three hours after eating and elevated blood glucose up to eight hours after.
High protein can also slow carbohydrate digestion. Sometimes slowing carb action is desirable. For example, a bedtime snack that includes a small amount of fat and protein, such as skim milk string cheese, can help keep overnight levels on a more even keel and prevent nighttime lows.
A registered dietitian experienced in diabetes care can help you develop a meal and snack plan that's right for you.

When people read this story, no one blames the hammer. However, if instead of a hammer, it was a different object... a firearm... people then blame the gun. Why? Some will say, guns are more dangerous... you can do more harm with a gun. Well, his victims are dead. I don't know how to achieve more harm than that. Others will say, it's easier to commit these crimes with a gun. Is it? Over 90% of all violent crime in this country does not involve a firearm at all. Then others will say, you can achieve more mass killings with a gun look at what has happened in all the mass killings with assault weapons. Is that accurate? The latest statistics we have are from 2011, and each year the numbers are about the same. In 2011 there were 323 people murdered with rifles in this country. Now keep in mind that is all rifles, assault weapons" are a subset of those. The FBI does not break down that data, but those murdered by assault weapons are measurably less. During that same time, 728 people were murdered by hands and feet. That does not include those that were murdered by clubs and hammers. And over 5 times as many were murdered by knives or cutting instruments.
So if all guns are used in less than 10% of all violent crimes, and all assault weapons murder less than half of those that are murdered by just hands and feet, not to mention clubs, hammers and knives, why is there all this dialog about, gun violence? Why in an identical murder case, people want to blame (i.e., legislate, control, outlaw, or just plain vilify) the object only when it's a gun?

Brooklyn, New Yo...
I made tis top for my sister and she actualy wore it for Christmas Eve dinner. I found this amazing fabric; white and gold, just perfect for the Holidays! I finished it with a gold biased tape (I learned how to make it from BurdaStyle) For a final touch I added two embroidered buttons that I made myself. Instead of slits on the sides I inserted a triangle and finished it with my gold biased tape. I used a pattern for a basic top for this project and modified it just a bit.

Well, Gandhi is burning in
Well, Gandhi is burning in hell. Really, one of the most hateful comments to try to turn a bridegroom against his own bride. Like the other great men of the world - merchants of men's souls.
But off topic to this thread.
Jesus Christ loves His bride. His church which he bought with his own blood, and laid down his life for her.
Ephesians 5:25-33
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

I worked at Lexus of Rockville full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
The other employees are great people to work with and if you are a smoker the let you tAke basically as many smoke breaks as you would like while being a mechanic. not opened on sundays and the benefits are decent.Cons
The managers are jerks except for the shop manager who is a cool guy. They try to write you up for the dumbest things ever because after 3 write ups no matter how long youve been working there and when that happens the service manager will suspend you and tell you he'll give you a call when to come back but then they never call you. it is their way of getting out of paying unemployment and i saw this happen to 6 different people while working thereAdvice to ManagementAdvice
Corporate should hire an all new set of managers.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook

This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/026,155, filed Feb. 5, 2008 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,755,404, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
A semiconductor memory device may employ internal clock signals to control various operations of the memory device. For example, it is desirable to properly synchronize input and output operations of the memory device with other external circuits in an interconnected system in order to minimize idle time on a communications bus, and to avoid undesirable data collisions while data is communicated to and from the memory device.
The internal clock signals may be generated from externally-generated clock signals that may be applied to the memory device. Due to the interaction of the externally-generated clock signals with various circuits within the memory device, the internal clock signals may be adversely affected, so that the internal clock signals are time-delayed relative to the externally-generated clock signals. Accordingly, delay locked loop (DLL) circuits may be used to provide properly synchronized internal clock signals. Typically, the DLL circuit detects a difference between the internal clock signals and externally-generated clock signals, and incrementally applies a delay to the externally-applied clock signals so that the externally-generated clock signals and the internal clock signals remain properly synchronized.
Various embodiments are described in detail in the discussion below and with reference to the following drawings.
The various embodiments include synchronization circuits and methods, and analog delay line circuits for clock synchronization. Specific details of several embodiments are set forth in the following description and in
The DLL 10 also includes a delay line 18 that receives an output from the low pass filter 16, and also receives the external clock signal CLK EXT. In general terms, the delay line 18 includes a plurality of serially-coupled delay elements that delay the external clock signal CLK EXT in response to an output voltage received from the low pass filter 16. The delay elements are each operable to delay an output signal relative to an input signal so that signals communicated along the delay line 18 are successively delayed. The delay elements may provide a variable gain at each stage, or they may be configured to provide a fixed gain at each stage. The delay line 18 is also configured to provide outputs at selected intermediate positions along the delay line 18. Accordingly, the delay line 18 may generate a first clock signal CLK 1 and a second clock signal CLK2, which may be communicated to other portions of the DLL 10, as will be discussed in detail below. The delay line 18 may be comprised of a plurality of serially-coupled differential amplifiers that are configured to provide a differential output to subsequent stages, and may also optionally include still other stages for buffering, or to adjust loading on the delay line 18.
The delay line 18 may be coupled to a selector 20 that receives the first clock signal CLK 1 from a first location on the delay line 18 and the second clock signal CLK 2 from a second and subsequent intermediate position, on the delay line 18. The selector 20 may also receive the phase difference information from the phase detector 12. The selector 20 is operable to select the first clock signal CLK 1 so that the CLK 1 signal is employed as a first feedback quantity in the DLL 10. When the phase detector 12 indicates that the detected phase difference is minimized, the selector 20 is further operable to select the second clock signal CLK 2 as a second feedback quantity, which may then be continuously used as the selected feedback quantity, provided that the DLL 10 remains suitably locked (e.g., the phase difference detected by the phase detector 12 remains at or near zero).
The inventor has made the discovery that selecting a feedback quantity from a first intermediate location in a delay line, and, upon achieving an acceptable frequency lock based upon a detected phase difference, selecting a feedback quantity from a second location in the delay line, generally achieves synchronization between an internal clock signal (e.g., CLK INT) and an external clock signal (e.g., CLK EXT) faster than other comparable methods. For example, it is anticipated that if only a feedback quantity from the first intermediate location is used for synchronization, additional circuits, such as duty cycle correction (DCC) circuits, or other similar circuits, will be required for successful operation. Alternatively, if only a feedback quantity from the second location is used, additional logic circuits will be required to successfully achieve locking. In either case, additional circuits are implicated, which may undesirably increase the size of an integrated circuit chip by occupying additional chip �real estate�. The additional circuits may also undesirably increase thermal dissipation requirements for the chip, since the operation of additional circuits will contribute still additional heat to the chip. Various operating details will be discussed in greater detail below.
With reference still to
The electronic system 100 may also include a control unit 120, which is operable to receive control signals on a control/timing bus 122, and to interpret various memory access requests. Once the integrated circuit dynamic memory device 102 is properly accessed by receiving suitable control and address signals from the processor 104, data may be communicated to or from the integrated circuit dynamic memory device 102 on a data bus 124, which is coupled to a data input/output unit 126. The data input/output unit 126 is operable to read or write the data to the array 106 in combination with a sense amplifier 112.
The integrated circuit dynamic memory device 102 may comprise a synchronous memory device, which is synchronized by an external clock signal 128, such as the previously-described CLK EXT signal, so that the various memory operations may be synchronously performed at selected times. Examples of such synchronous integrated memory devices may include synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) devices, synchronous static random access memory (SSRAM) devices, and may further include memory devices such as a synchronous link dynamic access memory (SLDRAM) devices, a RAMBUS dynamic random access memory (RDRAM), as well as other memory devices. Accordingly, an internal clock signal 130, such as the previously-described CLK INT signal, may be generated from the external clock signal 128. The internal clock signal 130 may be generated using the DLL 132, according to the various embodiments discussed in detail above. Accordingly, the internal clock signal may be operable to control various timing-related operations in the synchronous memory device, such as, for example, read/write operations, bus synchronization, memory refresh timing, as well as other operations. Although not shown in

Letter: Rays of light
Nanci Ferguson, Naples
Rays of light
As a group of our neighbors were exiting our favorite restaurant in a rainstorm Sunday evening, our friend, Allan Cameron, took a nasty fall and was bleeding profusely.
Four men came to the rescue and picked him up. We were fortunate to have a nurse in our group who stepped up to help.
An employee from the Blue Monkey Bar and Grille brought out a well-equipped first aid kit and waited with us.
A doctor, still in his scrubs, stopped; and he and Sheri Schaffer bandaged Allan's numerous injuries.
We want to say "thank you'' to the doctor who offered his skills to tend a total stranger. We feel so blessed to know that there are people who are willing to interrupt their lives to give aid in a frightening situation. The doctor is truly a good Samaritan, and we want to acknowledge his compassion and generosity.
Of course, none of us asked his name.
Thanks to the guys who picked Allan up off the ground. Sheri, our "resident" nurse, went home with the Camerons to check the dressings. Thank you, Sheri.
And thanks to the Blue Monkey employees who acted with compassion and efficiency. We are so grateful that you were there to help us.
Allan is recovering now, thanks to each of you.
