Use linear system model object in Simulink
The LTI System block imports linear system model objects into the Simulink® environment.
The imported system must be proper. State-space models are always proper. SISO transfer functions or zero-pole-gain models are proper if the degree of their numerator is less than or equal to the degree of their denominator. MIMO transfer functions are proper if all their SISO entries are proper.
Enter your LTI model. This block supports state-space, zero/pole/gain, and transfer function formats. Your model can be discrete- or continuous-time.
If your model is in state-space format, you can specify the initial states in vector format. The default is zero for all states.

Bank of America, AIG Get Upgrades
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of mega-bank Bank of America (BAC) and insurer American International Group (AIG) were upgraded to hold by TheStreet Ratings on Wednesday.
Bank of America
"BAC continues to make progress towards resolving its large mortgage issues, particularly involving Countrywide, although there is still work to be done," JPMorgan analysts wrote in a report Tuesday. "Given recent positive progress in resolving mortgage related issues as well as improving capital position, we remain positive on the stock longer-term in light of its valuation at 0.6x tangible book value."
Bank of America was upgraded to hold from sell by TheStreet Ratings."The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth and compelling growth in net income," TheStreet Ratings wrote. "However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally poor debt management and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself." Bank of America has an estimated price-to-earnings ratio for next year of 7.59; the average among its peers is 8.2. For comparison, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) has a lower forward P/E of 7.29 and Morgan Stanley's (MS) forward P/E is 7.87. Twenty-three of the 37 analysts who cover Bank of America rated it hold. Twelve analysts gave it a buy rating and two rated it sell. TheStreet Ratings gives Bank of America a C- grade. The stock has risen 47.12% year to date and is the best-performing stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average year to date.

As it had done with Crawford, the new regime spearheaded the discussions while general manager Chuck LaMar watched from a distance. "I thought it was an innovative idea, well thought out," LaMar said. "You take a risk. But you save money if it works out. And you give lifetime security to a young man who knows that if he plays well, he'll have another big contract coming. B. J. Upton was exactly the type of player they wanted to try to sign."
Upton turned down the D-Rays' overtures. Still, Friedman wasn't about to abandon the idea of targeting a top prospect for a long-term deal. He just needed to find the next suitable candidate. Someone like Evan Longoria.
In sizing up the possibility of inking Longoria to a multi-year contract, Friedman seized on the practices he developed in his private equity days. When investing in a company, he had to assess not only that firm's operations but also the quality and risk tolerance of management, the current trends within its industry, and the state of the broader economy. Likewise with a potential Longoria deal, Friedman had to consider a lot more than the quality of the player. The success of the Crawford contract and similar deals across baseball offered a sound precedent. The Rays' revenue streams—outside of the estimated $70 million to $80 million a year they would pocket in revenue shared via MLB Advanced Media and other league-wide ventures, as well as from richer teams—remained tight. And then there was the matter of Longoria's agent.
Paul Cohen, an agent for Los Angeles-based TWC Sports whose client list included Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, Braves pitcher Tim Hudson, and Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, also repped Tulowitzki's former Long Beach State teammate Longoria. After tearing up Double A for most of the 2007 season, Longoria's numbers tailed off slightly in Triple A as he hit .269/.398/.490 with 29 strikeouts in 31 games. Cohen had just locked down a six-year, $31 million contract for Tulowitzki—the biggest contract of all time for a player with one-plus seasons of major league service time—with a $15 million club option at the end. Would his other high-profile Long Beach State Dirtbag client, Baseball America's number-two prospect for 2008, be willing to consider an even longer deal, coming off zero seasons of service time?
"Evan said, 'If I can get financial security for my family, in line with other multi-year contracts, I'd have interest in doing that,' " Cohen recalled. " 'If I have a health or performance issue, what happens to me and my family?' "
Cohen discussed multiple scenarios with his client. What would happen if he went year to year instead of signing a long-term contract and then hit .300 with 40 homers every season? What about .250 with 10 homers? Cohen then explained how the Rays might handle Longoria's service time. If he didn't sign a deal, the Rays might be reluctant to bring him up to the majors until they were sure they could contend. That way they could save money now by waiting longer to get to salary arbitration and, eventually, free agency. On the other hand, if he did sign, the Rays would be more likely to promote him as soon as they felt he was ready and there was an open spot. Longoria considered all the what-ifs. Like most of Cohen's clients in his twenty-plus years as an agent, he didn't come from a wealthy family. And while the $3 million signing bonus he got for signing after the '06 draft could keep him going for a while, Longoria understood the potentially short shelf life of a professional athlete.
Finally, Cohen proffered one last thought. "I told him what it would look like in the media, from an intellectual standpoint, if he signed the deal and became a star. I told him, if media perception was important, don't do it."
Longoria decided the positives outweighed the negatives. No player had ever agreed to a contract quite like the one the Rays were proposing. He would be the first. When Willy Aybar got hurt a few days into the 2008 season, the Rays called up Longoria to play third base, knowing they no longer had to artificially hold back his service time. Six games into his big league career, both sides made it official: Longoria had signed a six-year deal for $17.5 million. As with Shields's deal, the Rays tacked on three club options at the end, making the total package a potential nine-year contract worth about $48 million.
Three years into the deal, Longoria had fulfilled Cohen's prophecy: he became a star, triggering criticism and even some mockery for signing the contract he did. According to FanGraphs' win values, he earned nearly $85 million for Tampa Bay through 2010, with six years to go on the deal if the Rays trigger all three options—which, barring some cataclysmic event, they surely will. Longoria won Rookie of the Year in 2008, made the All-Star team in his first three seasons, and emerged as an MVP candidate. In his annual "MLB Trade Value" column, which considers a player's ability, age, and contract status, then ranks the top fifty players in baseball based on who'd have the most value in trade, FanGraphs' Dave Cameron ranked Longoria as the single most valuable commodity in the game in each of his first three MLB seasons.
"Yes, I know, he only has a half-season of major league experience," Cameron wrote in 2008, "and we have to be careful drawing too many conclusions from sample sizes that don't include more than 300 major league at-bats. However, the value of his abilities is so great, and his contract is so ridiculously awesome for Tampa, that the positives more than outweigh the negatives and make him the guy I wouldn't trade for any other one player in the game."

FROM PULLMAN — Had a phone conversation earlier this evening with Bud Nameck, who will move from the sidelines to the booth for Cougar radio broadcasts this football season. Here's a partial transcript of our chat.
(Could you talk a little about how you view your role?) "In my mind, Bob is doing the play by play and I will do whatever it is to help Bob out to see what's going on. And I'm going to sit with Bob, he's coming over in June, he and I will get together and he and I will talk though a bit how we can best put things together. The bottom line is, Bob is the play by play guy, and I'm going to do whatever he would like me to do to help the broadcast.
"Bob is the play by play guy and he should be. This is his 46th year and he's a legend and when Bob wants to step aside, that's when he should be done. I wouldn't want to be in the position of replacing Bob if he is forced out or it's not his choice. That wouldn't be fun at all."
(Do you see yourself taking over play-by-play duties if Bob decides he doesn't want to anymore?) "This move makes it that much more probable. It's something I look forward to but not at the expense of Bob ending his career when he doesn't want to. Coug fans want to hear Bob do the games. We should do that as long as he can possibly do it. That should be what happens.
"Every time I talk to Bob about it, he loves what he does. I think it's important that Bob continue to do it. He's so identified with Cougar football. If you look at the history of Cougar football, he's the one thing that has been consistent. You wouldn't expect someone to coach for that long, there haven't been many real long coaching runs. Jim's was probably the longest. For a long time there was a lot of turnover and there's been turnover in ADs, changes for what stations, changes for the color people. He had been the one constant. I think that's part of what endears him to Coug fans and the fact that he's done this. When the day comes when he's no longer a part of it, it'll be a sad day and a very strange day for a lot of people."
(What do you plan to bring to the broadcast?) "I think just from my experience of working the sidelines the last eight or nine years, Bob and then with Jim (Walden) as the color guy, they didn't get into the stats too much. I don't think you can do an entire broadasct with stats, but I think they're worth mentioning. I'll keep a play-by-play on my pad of paper so I can keep track of how the cougs are doing on third down. Maybe Jeff Tuel has completed five straight pases, those sort of things. That might be my role, maybe throw those little bits in. I'm not a football X and O guy. That'll be Shawn's job. Bob will certainly describe what's going on on the field. I'll try to pick my spots and add something I'm not hearing. Maybe a stat or a different observation. I might take my binoculars and watch one particular thing instead of watching the ball."
(Do you know Shawn McWashington well?) "I covered Shawn when he was a wide receiver here. It was kind of funny, people always say 'how can you interview the same guys over and over?' As you know, there are some guys that just do a good job of it so you tend to go back to the same guys. Shawn was one of those guys we talked to a lot because he always had interesting conversations and interesting things to say, so we ended up talking to him a lot. I've gotten to know him pretty well. I haven't talked to him since this has all happened. I think he'll do a good job. He's a guy that observes things well and talks very well. He'd talked about writing a book about his senior year as a Cougar player. I don't believe it was ever published. Maybe now he can add a new chapter."
(Will it be strange not having Walden around?) "I think it definitely will. I'll definitely miss Jim. He always had an opinion about whatever he wanted to talk about, and always had stories to tell an that certainly will be missed. At the same time I'm excited for Shawn to get the opportunity. It'll be something that we all … we're all going to be adjusting to new roles. I don't know Jessamyn either. I look forward to getting to know her. It's a new role for her, for me, for Shawn. Bob's the stalwart who's done it all. It'll be interesting to grab all of that and put it together and hopefully make for a great broadcast."

Just joined a site & have questions about contact
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 11-11-2010 - 9:41pm
OK I just joined match and was kind of surprised that guys will IM right away as the first contact--no wink, no email, etc.
|Fri, 11-12-2010 - 6:34am
So, you've taken the plunge!
No, I don't like it when a man asks for my phone number right away, and I just don't IM. You are most likely correct that these men are IMing with several women at once. I think many men just contact/correspond with as many women as possible--some for entertainment, but the response rate is low for men, something like only 1 in 20 women will reply. So, they try to up their chances, I can't fault them for that, but it doesn't make me feel very special. And I've had lots of men send me their phone number in the very first email--I never call.
|Fri, 11-12-2010 - 9:09am
You can block the IM operation. I did, as I hate IM'ing. My boyfriend of 1 year and 4 months met on Yahoo. I had two and a half years of frustrating and ridiculous dating experiencing online before I met him. It was worth it after all. Good luck to you!
|Fri, 11-12-2010 - 8:12pm
I did add in my profile that I was not interested in any LDR because I want to be able to do things w/ the guy.
|Fri, 11-12-2010 - 9:40pm
It took awhile but once I got accustomed to im'ing, I actually prefer it over talking on the phone.
|Sat, 11-13-2010 - 6:33am
I certainly don't reveal my salary, and honestly, I'm surprised anyone posts their salary on Match. I do like to know what someone does for a living: not because I'm trying to gauge how much they make, but rather, what sort of person they are. I think men who post high salaries are trying hard to impress...and they are always looking for much younger women. Oh sure, a 55 year old man will say he's looking for women 35 - 55, but he really wants the 35 year old. :smileywink:
|Sat, 11-13-2010 - 12:28pm
I wouldn't mind IMing w/ someone I had already exchanged a few emails with--it's just weird when it comes out of the blue and there's this guy that you don't have any idea who it is, so you rush to look up his profile.
|Sat, 11-13-2010 - 12:32pm
So the guy who posted his salary did actually send me an email--he said he just joined the site & has no experience w/ OLD--ok maybe that's not true, who knows?
|Sat, 11-13-2010 - 8:32pm
I message my bf all the time on yahoo which is great for us since he is in the technology field anyway but one day while on I was on
|Sat, 11-13-2010 - 9:16pm
This reminds me of when I first got a computer and signed up for AOL which had some chat rooms then.

ANAHEIM (AP) – Jerome Williams pitched seven stellar innings to get his first major league victory in almost six years, Peter Bourjos homered for the third straight game and Howie Kendrick also went deep, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 7-1 victory over the bumbling Baltimore Orioles on Sunday and a sweep of the three-game series.
The Angels' fourth straight victory, coupled with Texas' 10-0 loss at Chicago, put the Halos within four games of the Rangers in the AL West race.
Williams (1-0) posted his first victory in the majors since Sept. 25, 2005 with the Chicago Cubs, after losing his previous eight decisions.

Figured I'd throw this out there for some advice.
Got an XL 06 stump fsr. Comes with a 120mm stem. I'm only 6'1" so I feel a little stretched right now. I want to get a smaller stem.
I found that blueskycycling.com has the thomson x4 for a good price of $70
I like the look and it sounds like the x4 is pretty bad@ss.
I feel stupid asking for advice on this since 10mm is only a half inch.
Regarding rise what difference does the 10* make?
These are the 4 options I have.

And in a firefight where would I keep my scouts? Out on the flanks and watching opfor movement. They can usually let you know if you're getting flanked.

To tell you things you wouldn't know otherwise.
The job description is simple,
But the job is not.
So being an effective scout is a topic deserving of its own thread.
From a commander's perspective,
A scout should be given a specific task.
To report on a squad's movement,
For example.
Keep his task simple,
And explicit.
And keep him "on the line",
Make sure you always know what he does
As soon as he knows it.
I've seen scouts get lost in their job
And fail to realize that unless they tell me something,
I don't know it.
Should be given more autonomy than rank and file paintballers.
Let them take risks,
Let them try new plans.
It'll pay off in the long run.
Scouting is like sniping in paintball,
It's more of an art than a science.

When refering to a scout as a point man I really dispise a person with the typical dagger mentality. I usually need my point to do a few simple things.
Relay information (No problem there)
Find the enemy (No problem there)
Establish a solid point that my squad can begin the engagement from. (Here is the problem) I like a player who is not a big gambler. A player with some staying power. Usually by being smart and patient, Lie low direct traffic and lay a little bit of cover fire.
As an independant scout I expect him to be even more cautous. More like a ghost flanker.
Posted 28 May 2008 - 07:22 PM
It would probably be best for scouts to work in groups of two or even three. Ideally, I would send a Sabre, perhaps a quick sniper, and another Sabre. The sniper and one of the Sabres can do the actual recon (two eyes are better than one) and the other Sabre watches their back and keeps their line of retreat clear.

It would presumptuous to claim earth shattering insights from all the social, community and family dynamics occurring as a result of Michael Brown's unfortunate, premature death. The world has been watching Missouri and the United States, trying to make sense of it all. Many questions will go unanswered, many more will be answered in partial or full justification of the acts that have taken place during and after the shooting. So many "issues", so many "problems" — but what about so many opportunities?
We should not let this heightened awareness of the differences in values, history, perceptions, experiences and cultures go into the void of unlearned lessons. Has there been a better opportunity for an active and compassionate dialogue on race and culture? Why can't we use Michael's legacy (and Trayvon's, and ………) as a springboard toward a systematic examination of how various families, communities and cultures cope with life and violence in America? Why can't we finally and courageously talk about gun violence – both in "sanctioned" forms and criminal acts? What more will it take for our country to confront the contradictions and inexplicable tolerance we have for the daily loss of life among our children and youth – especially children of color? And what about those that are asked to use guns in their daily roles to protect us? Are the ground rules changing? Are there standards of behavior and expectations of civility that are universal (or should be) so that public safety officers better understand true danger from other forms of threat?
Our juvenile justice and public policy leaders should be at the forefront on these issues. We are at the national boiling point for race relations and person-on-person confrontations exacerbated by our continued head-in-the-sand approach to understanding why these problems persist. Juvenile justice leadership stands at a critical crossroads of family and public services, often walking that delicate balance of treatment/habilitation and punishment. Isn't that the same balance that many others try to achieve? Law enforcement? School officials? Parents?
Let's start a national movement led by leaders with vision who are unafraid to have the hard conversations. But let's also have some ground rules:
- Race matters …and privilege is something that has to be better understood by everyone
- However, privilege is not a justification for taking an antisocial or uncooperative path through society – blaming whites is just as problematic as blaming African-Americans, Latino/Hispanic folks, Native Americans, Muslims, Jews, LBGTQ, etc.
- Our institutions were created by power-oriented folks that controlled resources—and still do. Our national conversation should acknowledge the roles that power and resources play in intentionally or unintentionally oppressing others (no matter the race, ethnicity or class).
- Capitalism and economic policy in our country have increasingly created groups of "winners" and "losers" – there is no answer to a system that rewards the winners with growing resources and marginalizes the "losers". We have to find a better solution to the distribution of wealth and opportunity if this country is to survive and thrive in the decades ahead. This IS NOT socialism, it is pragmatism …we can see it coming, but the political and polemic chasm between parties obviates a reasonable conversation about fixes.
- Our nation was founded on "independence, liberty and justice for all" according to our national pledge. One of our golden rules ought to be the creation of communities where health, family and youth resilience and values associated with true social justice should be at the top of the requirements for holding political office ….we should get our rear-ends to the ballot boxes and elect candidates that truly stand for these values and not just give them passing attention.
So let's get talking, organizing, trusting and most importantly, caring for each other. The social alienation of poverty and class separation are tough enough without gun violence and racism in the conversation. Working families now more than ever are struggling to raise children with values of fairness and optimism, when that isn't their daily experience. It's up to you and me ….. let's commit to making this part of our daily walk. For those old enough to remember Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, "….how many more, how many more?".

Russia is adopting an aggressive new propaganda strategy to undermine relations between the world's leading democracies, the Wall Street Journal's Anton Troianovski reports:
A Russian official in Berlin briefed on the media plans for Germany said a significant portion of the German public was receptive to Russia's message. They included people with antiwar, antiglobalization and general leftist views. Conservatives, including opponents of "homosexual propaganda," were also targets, the official said. "One can do some pretty powerful work with this segment," the Russian official said.
RT, launched by the Kremlin as Russia Today in 2005, is a news channel now available in English, Spanish and Arabic that positions itself as an alternative to Western international media such as CNN, the BBC and Germany's Deutsche Welle. While viewership is relatively small, observers say that by airing increasingly shrill criticism of the West and comments from anti-American conspiracy theorists as well as far-right and far-left Western politicians, RT has sought to undermine the authority of Western media.
In the Ukraine crisis, for example, RT has accused Western media and politicians of hiding evidence opposing the view that pro-Russian separatists shot down the Malaysia jet. "The biggest success of the Russian propaganda is to create confusion about what is true or not," said Marieluise Beck, a member of the opposition party Greens who is one of Mr. Putin's most prominent critics in the German parliament.
On Thursday, Russian police upgraded from "vandalism" to "hooliganism" a recent stunt in which four activists raised a Ukrainian flag on a Moscow skyscraper (above), the Moscow Times reports:
Under this new charge, the four could be sentenced to as much as seven years in prison.
If they are convicted, it will certainly send a pointed message to all Russian activists. But fear of punishment, not punishment itself, may prove to be the greatest lid on dissent in Russia. A raft of recent legislation on the Internet, especially the so-called blogger law, encourages many to police themselves.
Rossiya Segodnya now says it will employ hundreds of journalists around the world to produce local-language news reports, radio shows and social-media content, the Journal's Troianovski adds:
According to a Rossiya Segodnya brochure that provides an overview of the organization for the German public, the organization planned to build up hubs in about a dozen cities, with a goal of participating "in shaping public opinion and the news agenda." Mr. Kiselyov said financing for the expansion was still being worked out. ……
"The U.S. was always the symbol of the good, democracy, freedom, alliance, defense, while Russia generally represented the opposite," Mr. Tulchinskiy, the Rossiya Segodnya bureau chief in Berlin, said. "It turns out the first statement isn't so true, so it's logical to think that the second statement isn't so true."
One of the most important moments of the perestroika era was when the secret additional protocols of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact were made public, notes analyst Ivan Sukhov:
These secret additions assigned the Baltic states to the Soviet Union and divided up Poland into German and Soviet spheres of influence. These protocols were a real shock to a country that had been proclaiming itself the defeater of fascism since 1945.
That uncomfortable moment of closeness between the Soviet leadership and the Nazis explained, for example, much about the way in which the Baltic republics left the Soviet Union. That is, it was an explanation for those who wanted to understand, but those people were and still are few and far between in Russia.
Even today, the leaders of the ministries of culture and education are seriously discussing ridding the school curriculum of the paragraphs about the secret protocols. This part of history too obviously contradicts the official propaganda on the war with Hitler, which, as we know, is so significant in today's manipulation of public opinion.

Meet K9 Nash - the Newest Member of the Canine Unit
Towards the end of 2013, it was becoming apparent that K9 Falco, who was handled by Deputy Brad Bengford, was beginning to show signs of his age and was eventually diagnosed with a back issue that was causing his discs to fuse together as well as deteriorating hips. The veterinarian advised that surgery could potentially fix the issue but would be costly and not a guarantee. It was during that time the Canine Unit was advised to begin looking for a replacement canine; a task which is not easy and can take months. Inevitably, K9 Falco retired from duty on March 15, 2014 and is now living out the rest of his life at home with Deputy Bengford and his family.
After months of searching, the Canine Unit was pleased to find K9 Nash, a 15 month old Belgian Malinois. K9 Nash joined the Unit on April 4, 2014 and was placed in an accelerated detection training regimen in order to prepare him for national trials. On April 26th, 2014, with just a few weeks of training, K9 Nash competed in the United States Police Canine Association Detector Trials in Nunn, CO. Not only did K9 Nash certify in detection, but placed in the Top 10 among Police Service Dogs with years more experience than him.

DUBAI STILL HAS LOTS OF MONEY: With massive consolidation in the U.S. financial sector and oil prices still high, Doubledown Media is heading to where the money is. The publisher of Trader Monthly and Dealmaker started printing the former in Dubai this summer, and now it has revealed plans to launch the second title there, too. Randall Lane, president, said both magazines will be sent to a targeted group of readers — all of whom easily have an annual household income north of $600,000. "We've seen readers grow in the emerging markets," said Lane. "It's really become a global community."
To publish the Middle Eastern editions, Doubledown has partnered with a Dubai-based start-up, International Media Ventures. Launch advertisers for Dealmaker include Omega, Bentley and Infiniti. The company also publishes both magazines in the U.K., although the financial sector there isn't any better than its U.S. cousin's. "Our readers are more likely to be transferred to London, Hong Kong or Dubai than, say, Toledo," said Lane. "We are expanding globally. We've seen a lot of interest in what we do. We're certainly not slowing down." — A.W.

Although I grew up in a poor family, my Aunt Christine had a cottage on the ocean in New England where we went every week in the summers. I fell in love with the ocean when I was a child. I am a designer and home renovator so I was able to make my condo in Sea Colony the perfect place on the beach to look out over the ocean and experience it from morning balcony views to sunset reflections and swimming in the warm waves.From the moment you walk in the door you will see a nicely renovated condo with granite counters, new designer cabinets, freshly painted and nicely cleaned--a place where I am happy and comfortable and you will be too. You look out on the ocean from five of the six rooms. I enjoy every minute of it, and find it peaceful and calming. I love sitting on the 26 foot balcony watching the sun and waves--just as lovely in the off season as during the summer. Often in the summer, there is a band playing from the many activities on the veranda far below. There's lots of fun, but always a sense of peace and no one or nothing out of control with the life guards and security force in charge of the half mile of private beach.
"Bethany Beach is so sandy and clean, and the water so clean and warm, and the waves so much fun for body surfing and easy swimming--there isn't another beach around that matches it for overall experience. Sea Colony resort is beautifully maintained, with wonderful swimming pools for serious swimming and gyms, and beautiful landscaping. Sea Colony makes you feel like you are in a home where people care about their surroundings--and I care very much that my condo is clean and is cared for so that your vacation is a wonderful experience for you. My dream becomes your dream for the week you are here and you and your family will love it."
Renters love the condo!

"The Edgewater House in Sea Colony provides it all. It is a spacious condo that has room for friends and family. Other vacationers keep mentioning the view. It's so nice to wake up in the morning and have coffee on the balcony and watch the sun rise over the ocean and see the dolphins swim by. This Edgewater building is the center of Sea Colony, with a new gym, newly renovated pool, hot tub and sauna right in the building. There is a veranda outside the building with umbrella tables and an outdoor pool and a baby pool right outside the building, and a tram right outside to take you to the tennis center with indoor and outdoor courts. There is also right in the building a convenience center and a deli. But the best thing about the condo is the convenience to everything and the fact that Edgewater is the center of the resort so you are a few steps to anything you want in one of the finest designed and decorated and maintained units in the resort."

We don't know if Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson even remember the night they got sloppy and sang karaoke -- but after seeing this video, you'll never forget it. This newly leaked YouTube video is reportedly from 2008. Check it out:
Notice we refrained from telling you the best part: They're singing "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men. And then there's the other best part: the moment when Perry declares that her chair is "too high to make love," and crawls into Pattinson's lap (!).
Could it be that these two were at Dimples Karaoke Bar in Burbank, Calif., on a date? It's theoretically possible: The video appears to be recorded around Christmastime in 2008, which means the first Twilight movie literally just came out. Pattinson's relationship with Kristen Stewart may not have been an official "thing" yet. It's also around the time that Perry broke up with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy.
Don't start writing fan fiction just yet, though: According to People, the video was recorded at "a mutual friend's birthday party."
Personally, we think more celebrities should get a little tipsy and sing pop songs together. It's a win for everybody! Here are a few other stars who got their karaoke on with friends -- and were caught on tape.
Emily Blunt & Allison Brie, "Total Eclipse of the Heart"
Kelly Clarkson, "Ice Ice Baby"
Jason Segel & John Krasinski, "With a Little Help from My Friends"

Sobel Edge Detection
Watch this File
This code converts a BW image to an Edge Detected image in C with MEX. This code implements convolution with Sobel kernels to do the edge detection. I put this together for a school project and I couldn't find any good examples of MEX with image processing. One note the code is currently hard coded to handle only UINT8, however it should be trivial to convert that data type. Enjoy.
Hi i need to implement sobel filter on Red plane of image with gaussion noise in 8 directions mask.Can anyone help me with the code in matlab.
this is c code. i want matlab code plz
Nice code
Very nice--thanks for your contribution!
Excellent performance. More useful to students.
I have to write a study programming with MATLAB and i need informations.
JH, I just uploaded the fixed code. I also cleaned it up a bit to make it more readable.
Has a typo. Line 117 is
SUM = labs(sumX) + labs(sumX);
It should be
SUM = labs(sumX) + labs(sumY);
Other than that, seems to work fine.

CHICAGO (CBS) – Sources connected with the Cubs dismiss the suggestion that the North Side team's fans could end up watching home games at U.S. Cellular Field if Wrigley Field is gut-rehabbed in the 2013 season.
The possibility was raised Monday in an NBC 5 article, which says rumors indicate the Cubs are looking at contingencies if Wrigley gets an extensive makeover.
The Cubs' owners, the Ricketts family, have tried to float a public-private partnership to help pay for a significant overhaul of the historic ballpark in Lakeview, so far to no avail.
One idea, though, is send fans to the lion's den of the White Sox, the Cubs' crosstown rivals, if Wrigley is gutted, NBC 5 reported.
"You are putting the cart before the horse. There is no done deal," the station reported, citing a source it didn't name.
But sources at "The Cell" reportedly are hearing there may be a busier-than-usual season in 2013.

OpenTable Reveals Top 25 Most Romantic Cities in America
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As we anticipate the romance of Valentine's Day, OpenTable (NASDAQ: OPEN), the world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations, is pleased to release its rankings of the 25 Most Romantic Cities in America.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110606/MM07085LOGO)
While our nation is known for its diverse food culture, our analysis revealed that romance is a popular dining trend in cities across America. In order to provide a ranking of cities where romantic dining is inherently part of the culture, the OpenTable Most Romantic Cities Index was calculated using three variables: the percentage of restaurants rated "romantic" according to OpenTable diner reviews; the percentage of tables seated for two; and the percentage of people who dined out for Valentine's Day last year.
"Throughout history, love, food and romance are inextricably tied together," said Caroline Potter, Chief Dining Officer of OpenTable. "When we looked at the connection between the number of diners seeking to share a romantic meal and the array of area restaurants offering intimate dining experiences, the data clearly pointed to these as the top cities in which desire is celebrated over dinner."The following cities, listed in order, comprise the Top 25 Most Romantic Cities in America. The complete list may also be viewed at http://www.opentable.com/RomanticCities. Top 25 Most Romantic Dining Cities in America

Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...
