2 years ago vs. today
Two years ago this week — November 2008 — I wrote the following words in this space:
"Important election at a time of crisis:
"I can remember one other election since 1964 that has as much import as this year's: 1980 and the seismic shift to a man of hope, Ronald Reagan.
"The nation was changed dramatically — many would say for the better.
"There seems to be a similar seismic shift this year in favor of an untested, mostly unknown first-term senator, but I fear the naked hopes of many are unfounded, even illusionary. I predict there's going to be a tsunami of buyers' remorse by this time next year.
"The nation will be changed dramatically — and most of us in Fayette County will be (literally) poorer for it. I hope I'm wrong, for the sake of a nation that for the first time in 70 years may come to believe that our country's best days are behind us. Whatever else Obama may turn out to be, he most assuredly and deliberately is the anti-Reagan.
"(An astute local political observer said that an Obama presidency will be Jimmy Carter's second term.)"
That was November 2008, just before the Obama landslide. You judge whether it was accurate. Three words from that old column are acutely appropriate today: "Buyers' remorse" and "tsunami."
Buyers' remorse — the regret of those who voted for Obama — is the unstated driver of this year's expected "tsunami" of voter disgust that will sweep Democrats out of even "safe" liberal districts across this nation.
Thank God for buyers' remorse. Better to wise up late than never.
But Republicans have an almost supernatural ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. There will be GOP bosses across the land who will light up their cognac-soaked cigars the morning after and sigh with self-satisfaction, "We're back. It's ours again."
So this is not a "I-told-you-so" jab in the eye to those who voted for Obama (but, really, what were you thinking?).
It is, rather, a warning to the country-club Republicans and their gold-cufflink-wearing legislators, from city level up to Congress.
You guys and your county Republican committees and your arrogant staffers fouled your own nests in record time the last time you were handed power. You guys quickly become just as deaf and dumb as the most devoted Nancy Pelosi disciple.
A restless, pre-revolutionary electorate is giving you mugs one more shot at cutting government at all levels and giving us back our liberties. You better get it right this time.
The bills and ordinances you introduce had better cut government meddling in our lives rather than increase it — and yes, I'm talking about law and order bills as well. There are enough laws on the books and enough prohibitions on all of us to gainfully employ cops and lawyers for the next two decades.
Give legislating new laws a well-deserved rest. Be proud to come back home and proclaim, "I voted to cut taxes, I voted to cut government power, and I voted against every proposed new law that micro-regulated something that was already regulated enough. I just said NO!"
So quickly do our newly elected officials get caught up in the game of governing that they lose sight of who sent them. Their philosophy — whatever it once was — becomes corrupted in their more or less successful attempts to push their snouts deeper into the public tax money trough.
I can name for you a dozen local examples.
Democrat, Republican, even Libertarian — it doesn't matter. Elect them often enough to learn the rules of the governing game, and they all become public pigs at the trough.
The Tea Party is naive enough to think they can change the rules of the game. I'm naive enough to fervently hope they can change the game itself.

I ask my Right and Left friends how their personal life has changed in the last two years. The give me the retoric of the day and not much more. When I isolate the question more; "HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED"... give me dollars and cents... how was 2008 different then 2007. 2005 vs 2004...2000 vs 1999. I never get an answer. They have the energy to rant, but not the resolve to reflect. Just the fear tactics of the day. The Republicans platform has zero solutions. Have we become that small minded to vote for the loudest person in the room? And the Dems don't have the gutz to stand up for what they believe in and pacify the public by shifting to the middle. Can you imagine a Mccain/Palin White House. She would have quit by now... there would be no GM or Chysler and the Bank of China would be our largest institution..OR...they like the Dems are full of crap and it would be just another day...
The Republicans are bullies, the Dems P#$ssies and the Tea Party are the rednecks that Howard Dean metioned in 2004.
We need a legitimate 3rd party to save our country... or like Rome, we will fall...
No GM, No Chrysler, No Problem. Why would it be? You probably think GM has paid back the bailout too, right?
Oh, and 'our paper' is already owned by China now - they finance our debt (which has tripled). In other words- they ARE our bank. You feelin' me?
Dollars and Cents? How about twice as many people don't now have a job as 24 months ago. Can you translate that?
McCain is more liberal than most of the Democrats that won last night and Palin is an extreme partisan in too deep to cover the bet mentally - like Obama - and reads a great teleprompter - like Obama.
Don't take it personal, Yo, dems juzt the fax, Yo.
Nice moniker, Yo.
And this is all Obamas fault right? This just happened on his watch right? China found the US during the Obama administration correct? The Auto industry, which is directly 8% of the gdp and indirectly 20%+ should have not been supported correst? Homes double in percieved value under Dubyas watch and we turn from common sense and call it "growth". But an unprovoked racist war against Iraq that could have paid for Social Security, Medicare and reduce our debt for the next 25 years goes unaccounted for by Republicans and Democrats. The massive deregulation that BS tax credit that Bush spent 80 million in postage for sending out $600 checks goes unaccounted for.
How can the Republicans bitch about spending when Bush I and II outspent Clinton and had larger governments? We LOVE infotainment (Fox, CNN, etc)
Because we are sheep... and TV is our Bible...
Imma vote for barrack nex time. man. 80 million wasted by bush yo. i didn no dat. deregulation of the economic associative dialectical econometric exchange funds and stamps all lost and what not. yo. word. an true all the auto machine is led up by chryler and gm yo. cause ford and spinnin nuttin you feelin me? all them repuibs makin home loan like barney frank man a man squeel wit joy cauz they aint gonna qualify anyone no way see.yea. im all on da obama train now.
not very creative... work on your game
I wear my pants and shirts correctly and they are of the proper size and fit. I am well educated and work hard to better my family, my community and myself every day. You can't hear my music whenever I am driving or parked. I obey the laws. I pay my bills and my taxes. I am a father to my children and a husband to my wife. I don't wear obtuse costume jewelery. My cars do not determine my identity or self-worth, nor does my house.
In other words, I don't have a game yo. Besides, the village only needs one idiot.
Tag, your it.
You may have gone to school, but you are NOT well educated. Your previous post is racist and moronic.
You are a racist and bigot. Fear mongering and name calling is your sole platform blog after blog. Generalizations with zero substance. You hide behind your elitism and forget what this country is about. Progress, tolerance and understanding. Yell and scream all you want. High School bullying seems to be all you know. You are sadly assuming who I am and what I represent. What you pride yourself on is not special just your choice. Hitler, Mussilini, Bin Laden wanted absolutes and seperated by stereotypes... sound familiar?
By your standards, dozens of politicians do not represent "I obey the laws. I pay my bills and my taxes. I am a father to my children and a husband to my wife." including your beloved Gingrich. Small mindedness is laughed at in history which you seem victom of.
I'm curious are you inferring that a racist and a bigot is one that agrees with the attributes that Johnny mentioned in his post? If so, I suspect that many on this board will strongly disagree with you.
Of course! That makes perfect sense (in your stunted "It's all about me" world) It's the new Republican mantra:
And that is different from the Dems mantra how?
small minded individuals view the world. Sad, isn't it?
Of course! That makes perfect sense (in your stunted "It's all about me" world) It's the new Republican mantra:
Cy, you just don't understand--yoiu're supposed to stay in your own little "It's all about me" world and not ask any questions or seek explanations. And while Mikeyc might have joined up in 2009, it's pretty clear that he hasn't been paying much attention to either this comment board or the real world around him. And if he's having coping problems now, just think what he'll feel like in a couple more years. I just hope he gets signed up for good health insurance while he has a chance. Oh, Mikeyc bring your checkbook, cause it's gonna be a big one!
Yo! That is WORD!
Totally agree on GM and Chrysler too......they both do indeed suck and I wouldn't miss them. Feel sorry for those without jobs, but hey, NOT TOO BIG TO FAIL! Peace out!
Imagine putting the $ in to this car company we have put in to Chrysler (twice) and GM (twice).
"In order to protect against both foreign and domestic threats, Carbon's E7 will utilize weapons-of-mass-destruction sensors, automatic license plate recognition, infrared cameras and its proprietary On-board Rapid Command Architecture (ORCA™)"
This is the article I wanted to write, but Krugman beat me to it.
You don't run a country's economy the way you run your household budget.
YOU do realize that WE actually know who Krugman is, right? Here is ONE small example of a zillion reasons why he is the least credible economist (and that is REALLY saying something) in America:
Here is the article I would have written, but John Cochrane beat me to it:
If you truly think Krugman is either legit OR correct.... it's good that you wear a mask.
who Krugman is. Sure, I think he is legit. Won a Noble prize. An extremely high percentage of folks in that category are legit. As for him being correct? I guess he is more often than not. I read most of the Cochrane article. Seems based mainly on the Efficient Markets Theory. That theory is good reading and B-schools make students bow down to it, but once you get out in the real world, you find that the markets are hardly efficient. Otherwise, why are all the big banks running proprietary trading desks? Because the markets aren't efficient and they can make outsized profits as a result.
won the Nobel Prize and Mr. Obama and Yasser Arafat. The Nobel Prize should be re-branded The Feel Good Prize. It is meaningless except to those that covet it.
Anyway, markets are not efficient but they are more efficient if they are left alone to operate.
As you know economics is theory based on rational observation. Krugman ignores reality; he obscures reality and twists it to meet the Krugman theory. This in turn delights the left and they hold him up as a legitimate economist....they give him the Nobel Prize.
No, Gore did not win. Some environmental group on climate change won. Gore just got to go to the dinner and wear the medal for pictures. Sure, some win for nothing and some for theories later proven to be false. As for Krugman, he won for work on New Trade Theory, which involves a bunch of technical stuff about international trade and geographic specialization and network effects and blah, blah, blah. I would say that Krugman does look at economic activity rationally. How does Krugman obscure reality? He got a big cape he throws up to fool everybody like that guy who makes the Statue of Liberty disappear? Come on now--you may not agree with him but you gotta admit he has some serious brain power under all that hair.
Gore has received a number of awards including the Nobel Peace Prize (joint award with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) (2007)- wiki
He also invented the Internet. - al
He also like massages in his hotel room, without Tipper being there. - al
On Krugman, let's call a peace on this subject. You won't change and I won't change so what's the point.
I am tired, I am going to bed and wake up tomorrow to see how the elections went. Kind of like Christmas when I was a kid.
What was the name of that "Prize" Mr. Obama won.... wasn't it one of those "Nobel" thingies too? And what was it again he did to get it? I keep fergittin.
Pretty lofty stuff huh?
I agree with you on that one--it was a farce. Those Norwegians must have been out drinking heavily the night before deciding who to give that one to.
sadly there are thousands of people that believe in and worship Krugman. He is proven wrong over and over again but this does not change a thing. Krugman simply trys to shape reality to his view of economics by blaming enemies of the state. He is a "personality" on the left just as Keyenes was a personality supporting FDR's take over of the economy during the Great Depression. Krugman is and continues to be a political tool of the left. He is lining his pockets with liberal largess and smiling all the way to the bank.
You guys talk about the left like its the boogey man or something. Why so afraid? Makes me want to write more on my brain structure theory of political tendency. You guys don't want that on the blogs, now do you?
If you don't see the threat of the left to individual freedom then you are too far gone. It's the left's central precept that the state should make decisions through a poltical elite for the masses.
Brain structure theory? Lay it on us pal.
You don't really expect us to swallow this tripe do you?
Krugman has been held up as the left's only "correct" economist for years and the country is on to him.
Go back to your NY Times and stop bothering us with this stuff.
And nothing has changed and after this election nothing will change except power will go from one established political party to another, both power hungry and ready to stamp out individual liberty.
You are right the Tea Party is politically naive.
If we want change we can believe in we had better begin changing the way we do business in Washington. That means doing less business in Washington and more business at home in our states.
Here's 18 things we need to do to turn things around:
1. Repeal the 17th Amendment
2. Repeal the 16th Amendment and replace it with nothing, absolutely nothing.
3. Pass a balanced budget Amendment and reject Keynesian economics forever.
4. Return the country to a Republic - limit the franchise by denying those that work for the government in any way the right to vote.
5. Begin dismantling the corrupt federal apparatus from the top down, starting with the Department of Education.
6. End the Federal Reserve
7. Protect our National sovereignty by securing our borders and punishing businesses that hire illegal aliens.
8. Create jobs by recognizing and reward risk taking, savings and capital formation by
a. Reducing capital gains taxes to zero
b. Eliminate inheritance taxes
c. Overhaul patent laws that are outmoded.
d. Eliminate taxes on savings interest
9. Attack the problems related to Trial Lawyers – Tort reform in every sector of the economy – key provision is to make the loser pay the bill.
10. Minimize government regulation and thus unleash the full intellectual capacity of the country. Remember that regulation does two things to make the country less competitive; a. it drains resources away from productive effort, and b. it comparatively puts the US at competitive disadvantage to those countries that have no such regulations. Pass legislation to toughen penalties on defective products, and negligence by unprincipled businessmen. Throw the book at them when they are guilty no matter how wealthy they are.
11. Drive government decision making to the local level and give local authorities more say on how they use the people's money. It makes no sense to send money to the central government and have them give it back to local government. It is not efficient from a economic standpoint. Repeal all federal mandates against the states.
12. Reduce military spending as a percentage of GDP – we don't need to be the world's police. Set a limit on defense spending based on a percentage of the GDP. Recall our troops from all foreign soil but build up our Navy to be second to none to protect free trade.
13. Eliminate corporate welfare – we need to stop protecting unproductive croney-capitalists.
14. Get government out of Banking & "private" business – government needs to let weaker banks and other companies fail no matter how big they are. If they can't compete they can't compete, just that simple.
15. Incent legal immigration of scientists, physicians, nurses, mathematicians, and wealthy individuals to the United States.
16. Slowly dismantle the Federal Reserve Bank (a private bank that controls the money supply). I am just saying it again in case you missed it the first time.
17. Return to a gold standard or something like it. For those that don't understand this notion, the reason we have major cycles in our economy is due primarily to the FED trying to manipulate the money supply. Tie the currency to a precious metal and currency can't inflate because you can't increase the supply of the metal quickly.
18. Require the Senate to confirm judicial appointments within a session or the appointee gets a pass into the court system without a Senate vote. If the appointee is appointed late in a session they have until the end of the next session. Pass Amendment to make this Constitutional.
Very well put...4,7,9,11 and 13 would solve so, so much... unfortunately to implement any REAL platform like this takes time, and the dip the country would take while doing this would hurt that platforms re-election bid. As long as the Big II own the press, this will never happen.
Yep, as you say, the TEAS are naive; would only take 15-20 years to implement their recommendations.
As to yours, maybe 50 years! And a perfect blending of all minds by magic would be necessary!
Change practically the whole Constitution!
Eliminate regulations but add regulations!
Economy based on gold? Has tripled in last few years! Might as well base it on Turnips!
Become Isolationists again! Right! We would be wiped out quickly.
Get government out of business! Didn't we just try that with the banks, etc.?
Only take the illegals we want! Yes like their country would agree to that!
You are really mixed up!!
Heck yeah, PTC Observer, let's not stop there. Let's blow up all our factories too. Look what progress the German's and Japanese made after WWII! Let's take that unemployment rate up to 100%, then the only way it can go is down. Yee-hah!! Climb aboard the atavism express!!
fear mongering with no substance... generaliztions... McCarthism??? WMDs!!! ahhhhh...think of how little progress this countries history would have with this midnset... fear fear fear..."they took our jobs!"...
You're over your head, go study ECON101.
I was curious to know what you thought of that 16 year longitudinal study that was released yesterday that showed that minimum wage increases absolutely, positively do NOT kill jobs, contrary to long-standing economic assumptions.
"The early returns and overwhelming number of Democrats who are coming out – we're on pace to maintain a majority in the House of Representatives," Pelosi told reporters during a photo op in Washington.
Watch This!!!
for liberal economists to gather enough data to confuse themselves.
I would say to use your common sense but that would be an error in judgment on my part.
I know you have trouble grasping complex theories sometimes (don't feel bad, GA Patriot does too!), so here's a better explanation of how raising the minimum wage does NOT lead to more unemployment. It does use a rather large scary word ("counterintuitive") so they have helpfully supplied a comic strip to help educationally challenged folks like you and GA Pat understand.
Yeah, I guess I forgot to take one when I got my graduate degree in that field. Or, perhaps I CLEPed it. Been so long ago, I dun fergit.
Must be from Harvard that bastion of liberal thinking. As a matter of fact your posts remind me a lot of graduates from Harvard.
In case you missed it, that's no complement.
Finished your Times yet, no? Read it carefully you need further direction.
Harvard? I wish. Too poor for that school. I be a Jawjuh boy, from right here in this fine area. But, I did get out for a while to see the world. Guess you missed the last bus out. Too bad. There's more to life than fearing the Fed and hating Yankees. Have you tried blogging?
I hated Yankees?
I don't hate anyone, even you Ninja.
Just another off-year election!
No one in official capacity by the electorate is going to change anything.
No matter how many Washington changes there are in this election, we are still going to be deeply in debt. We still are going to have "real numbers" of unemployed of 20-25%--yes 3/4 supports the other one-forth, which doesn't count pensioners, etc.
If a new congress can do anything (due to the veto power) and they can somehow stop any stimulus money for local cops, firemen, teachers, roads, schools, and business loans, we will simply get worse off sooner.
No regulations now in force will be voided--especially on banks and Wall Street. More are needed to avoid a same catastrophe from the greedy again.
I fail to understand the comparison you always make between Reagan and Carter! Reagan spent 6 trillion extra and disobeyed a congressional law. Carter was simply not impressive with royal BS.
As to your love of the so-called TEA party, I fail to see anything good coming out of a group of impossible wishers who are destroying the old GOP!
We still have millions of foreclosures to go, and soon. Sooner than normal if no more help comes from Washington.
We are on the precipice of monetarily falling into pay back demands by our creditors in a way that certainly won't allow us much reign!
President Obama didn't put us there. As you said, all of the current crowd either proposed the failures or turned a blind eye for ten years.
Can you tell me how anyone elected this time can suddenly or even in years dispose of the current unemployment situation, finance small and large business without terrible risks, or stop jumping into every middle-east war we can find?
After reviewing the election results, what I say above is still true.
The big difference is this: The House won't get two years to solve the credit and jobs problems and end the wars that they gave President Obama!
They will start hearing from the unelected radicals within 3-4 months to get mean and ugly quickly!
They will want to cut off all spending above budget instantly (unemployment, TARP, stimulus, etc.,) which will of course crate additional unemployment provided that they could even do it. They can't however, no more than could President Obama.
The Federal Reserve today printed about a trillion dollars more of stimulus for banks to loan to someone-probably businessmen--and not a peep was heard from anyone!
If the House now tries to foreclose on all underwater homes behind in payments immediately, then all hell will break loose with the foreclosed BANKS and job losses.
If the states are not given any more grants for schools, cops, firemen, teachers, and roads--just cut it off--further calamity will occur.
Is this what we want? An almost immediate DEPRESSION?
Of course not!
There won't be any significant change--it will still take 5-10 years to resolve our current serious problems created over last ten years.
Only thing is the conservatives (two groups) think they can do it in two years!! (but know they won't---just want the power and 10 years to do it their way).
Nevada has just seceded from the union. They said they'd only agree to come back if Harry Reid packed his bag and moved to...(fill in the blank..any other country of your choice).
John Boehner has just ordered a years supply of Marlboros and a new tanning bed, and a a new wardrobe of zip up barracuda jackets in assorted colors. He has also announced that he and Barak will have weekly meetings in the rose garden, swapping fashionable ciggy lighters. ooohhh yaaaa...
Let's get the vote counting underway.
I think Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Joe Biden are all correct. The Democrats are going to have a really big night!
Heck- just look at that tiny little Beck rally next to that HUGE Comedy Central rally last week- right Bacon?
I see HUGE gains and an undeniable affirmation of the positive direction the progressive intellectuals are finally moving our country.

IPC - Association Connecting Electronics Industries sees North American printed circuit board (PCB) sales and order growth on an upward trend. In the latest release of its statistical program, the association said total North American PCB shipments were down 1.5% in July 2013 from July 2012, while bookings increased 10.2% year over year. Year to date, PCB industry shipments were down 4.2% and bookings were up 0.1%. PCB shipments in July 2013 were down 13.7% and bookings were down 3.2% from June 2013. Bookings exceeded shipments in July. The PCB book-to-bill ratio strengthened to 1.06. The association said that, while not yet in positive territory, year-on-year sales growth has been improving steadily for three months, with solid growth in orders since the start of 2013. "Month-to-month growth is typically negative in the first month of the quarter due to seasonal trends," said IPC Director of Market Research Sharon Starr. "Year-on-year growth is the best indicator of industry performance, and these growth rates in July continue to be encouraging." She added, "Rigid PCB year-on-year sales growth in July reached positive territory for the first time in more than two years. Orders in both rigid and flex segments were strong, resulting in a slight uptick in the PCB book-to-bill ratio."

The big renewable news in the UK today is Mitsubishi's decision to build a £100m offshore wind turbine R&D facility.
Much smaller, though just as interesting, is news that Siemens is among the second-round investors in Marine Current Turbines.
It's unusual to see a big manufacturer like Siemens putting money (albeit a small amount – the total funds raised in this round were £8.5m) in a fairly nascent renewable technology.
MCT operates the only commercial marine energy installation that is not a tidal barrage.
The UK is something of a hub for marine energy and a few utilities, such as Scottish & Southern, have invested in marine start-ups or collaborated on projects. Other investors in MCT include EDF Energy and Carbon Trust.
Marine energy is still relatively small – again, excepting tidal barrages, which boast a few sizeable installations: France's 240MW La Rance is most notable, and the UK will decide this year on a massive barrage across the Severn. But New Energy Finance told us several months ago that the total spend on marine energy was $253m in 2007 and $79m in 2008 – and 2009 wasn't looking any better.
Still, there's an awful lot of energy in waves, tides and currents – if it can be tapped economically.

TCP connect timeout
From the documentation I could find, net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries should control this. The documentation says the default value is 5 which should result in about 180 seconds. I checked the value of net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries on my older and newer (Fedora 14) machines, and it is 5 for all of them, yet the timeout is much shorter on Fedora 14. What other parameters should I check to find out why the timeout has gotten much shorter?

Instructions:This entry shows how you can use SFB37 (AR_SEND) to transfer one process value into a WinCC process value archive. This entry follows the procedure described in Entry ID 23629327.
The following format has been chosen for this example in which one value of a process tag is transferred:
Description of the data structure elements:
More information:
If you use the block in the STEP 7 program, you can determine the current system time via SFC1 (READCLK Read System Clock) and store it in a global data block. You can interconnect this data with the block's "Time Stamp" input.
You can download the block as SCL and STL source.
WinCC_ArSendOnePV.zip ( 3 KB )
You can use Copy/Paste to insert the relevant source in the SCL or STL editor. In order to compile this source successfully, you should define the the numbers for the UDT and the FB beforehand in the symbol table.
Fig. 07
Fig. 01
Proceed as follows to configure process-driven archiving via AR_SEND.
A detailed description of the structure of the data block to be transferred is available in the WinCC Online Help under "WinCC Information System > Communication > SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite > Special functions > Data exchange with the S7 function block AR_SEND". Fig. 02 shows the principle structure of the data block when several time-dependent process values with associated time stamps are transferred to a process tag (archive variable).
Fig. 02
Fig. 03
Fig 04
The AR_SEND is configured as follows in STEP 7.
Information on the S7 function block SFB37 (AR_SEND) is available in the reference manual "System Software for S7-300/400 System and Standard Functions" - Entry ID 1214574.
Note In this entry we have purposely left out a description of the direct interconnection of the SFB37 (AR_SEND) block. You should create your own, application-specific function block (FB) that fulfills your specific requirements for the transfer you want.
The advantages of using an application-specific function block for archiving with AR_SEND are as follows:
The data area to be transferred can be created within the instance DB. You can call the SFB37 (AR_SEND) as a multi-instance. The relevant inputs and outputs of the AR_SEND block should be run on the interface of the newly created FB. Make sure that you run the input AR_ID AR_SEND block externally and assign the system attributes S7_server:='alarm_archiv' and S7_a_type:='ar_send'. In this way STEP 7 assigns a unique AR_ID when incorporating the FB in the program. Entry ID 23629424 includes a practical example in STL and SCL of how to use SFB37 (AR_SEND).
Instructions:The smallest archiving cycle in WinCC Tag Logging is 500ms. There is no way of reducing this archiving cycle time through settings in WinCC Tag Logging. Shorter archiving cycles can be achieved through process-controlled archiving.
There are the following options for this:
Instructions: If the data has been sent successfully to WinCC, the parameter "DONE" of the AR_SEND block is set to "1". In WinCC there is no way of checking whether the data has been stored successfully in the archive.
Note: If the data has its own time stamp in AR_SEND, it is also stored chronologically in WinCC. Detailed information on parameterizing the AR_SEND block is available in the WinCC Information System (WinCC Online Help) under the keyword "AR_SEND: Data Block Structures - Structures and Parameters". Note the examples given there.
Instructions Process values transferred via the AR_SEND are stored by default in the WinCC archive "TagLogging Fast".
For WinCC V6.0 In WinCC V6.0 it is not possible to parameterize the storage location for this data.
For WinCC V6.2 onwards In WinCC V6.2 you can choose whether the process values are to be stored in the "TagLogging Fast" or "TagLogging Slow" archive.
For this you open the "Tag Logging" editor and then the properties of the "TagLogging Fast" archive. Select the "Archive contents" tab.
To archive process values in the "TagLogging Fast" archive, you now select the "Process-controlled measured values" check box. If the check box is not selected, the process values are archived in the "TagLogging Slow" archive.
More information is available in the WinCC Information System (WinCC Online Help) under the keyword "Storing Process Values".
Instructions: In order to give the same time stamp to the data in function block AR_SEND you must parameterize the AR_SEND block accordingly (parameter unit (type)). Detailed information on parameterizing the AR_SEND block is available in the WinCC Information System (WinCC Online Help) under the keyword "AR_SEND: Data Block Structures - Structures and Parameters". Note the examples given there.

Dan Schweitzer
As the NAAG Supreme Court counsel, Dan performs a myriad of duties to assist state appellate litigators who appear before the U.S. Supreme Court. He oversees the moot court program, edits 45-50 state briefs filed in the Supreme Court each year, and edits the Supreme Court Report, which summarizes opinions and cases granted review. He also organizes three annual conferences: the Supreme Court Advocacy Seminar, the Appellate Practice Conference, and State Solicitors General and Appellate Chiefs Conference.
One of the things Dan enjoys most about overseeing the Supreme Court Project is dealing with a wide array of legal issues from habeas corpus to the First Amendment to preemption to qualified immunity. He has honed his expertise on Supreme Court matters throughout the past 13 years at NAAG. And even though many would characterize him as an expert on these issues, he still continues to be challenged by new cases.
"Every case presents a new and difficult constitutional or statutory construction issue, and requires figuring out the best strategy for prevailing in the Court," he said. Prior to joining NAAG, Dan was a litigation associate for six years in a DC law firm.
In his spare time, this New York City native enjoys playing tennis, softball and spending time with his daughter. Dan holds a bachelor's in political science and economics from University of Pennsylvania and a J.D. from Harvard Law School.

Loved the style
This is a Christmas gift for my grandson who is 7. I liked that it looked like the adult version and was not a generic white or black. I ordered them at the store and they were shipped to me within 3 to 4 days.

text: Bristol Palin On "Duck Dynasty" Flap: Gay Activists "Hypocritical" Thursday, December 26, 2013 (Undated) -- Bristol Palin is following in her mom's footsteps and speaking out on the "Duck Dynasty" controversy. In a blog post, the daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin calls gay activists "hypocritical" for expecting everyone to agree with their lifestyle. Bristol, who found herself at the center of controversy for using gay slurs in a 2010 Facebook post, says while the LGBT community says it's all about "love" and "equality," if you don't agree with their lifestyle, "they spread the most hate." Palin's mom, Sarah Palin, was among the first to speak out in defense of the "Duck Dynasty" clan after A&E suspended family patriarch Phil Robertson last week over recent anti-gay comments. She said "Free speech is an endangered species."

PHILADELPHIA -- Last week, defensive back Devin McCourty shed his red no-contact jersey, which he has been wearing as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery, for the first time all summer.
It's been back on the last two days in practice against the Philadelphia Eagles, but McCourty has still been all over the field, anchoring the Patriots' secondary and directing his teammates on defensive schemes even as he makes the full transition from cornerback to safety.
"He's one of our best-prepared players, both physically and mentally," coach Bill Belichick said. "He's been a captain since his second year in the league, so wherever we need him, I know he's prepared to play and do the best he can for the team."
Perhaps the only man in the secondary who has been getting more attention than McCourty is Aqib Talib, whose trade to the Patriots last season made permanent McCourty's move to safety.
Talib has been seen jumping up and down and riling everybody up whether he's the one on the field making the big play or just rooting on his teammates from the sidelines.
McCourty was asked if Talib is nuts.
"He's passionate," McCourty clarified. "He's very passionate, and I love that about him. Our secondary, we have different characters all throughout the secondary and each person brings their own uniqueness to it. As a group I feel like we're complete when we got everyone in there."
Belichick heaped praise before practice Wednesday upon McCourty and his entire secondary, which has looked sharp in two days against the Eagles.
So just how good can this Patriots secondary be?
"It's tough to tell right now," McCourty said. "I think we just need to keep doing it, day in and day out just working hard and trying to dominate teams."
Cooperation works
When a 19-year NFL head coach and a first-year head man join their teams in training camp together on the rookie's turf, who gets the final say about what goes and what doesn't at practice?
So far, Belichick and Chip Kelly have to able to cooperate.
The Eagles, who have blasted music at the NovaCare Complex all summer during practice since Kelly took the helm, have kept their stereos silent. And the Patriots have had to cool it on contact, as Kelly has tried to limit how much hitting his team is doing.
"We've done plenty of that, and I know they have too," Belichick said about compromises. "We've done it, they've done it. I don't think it's that big of a deal one way or the other."
Prior to Tuesday, the coaches agreed that any altercations between players during practice would result in those players being benched for the rest of the day. It happened yesterday with Aaron Dobson and Cary Williams of the Eagles when the two got into a heated shoving match.
"We both talked. If someone got in extracurriculars they were going to be done for the day," Kelly said. "It was one way we made sure that it didn't continue."
Both men returned to practice Wednesday without experiencing any issues.
Versatile Ninkovich
Last season, Rob Ninkovich made the full-time switch from linebacker to defensive end to allow Dont'a Hightower to take his starting position on the outside.
His ability to play multiple positions on and off the ball has helped him excel in the Patriots' always-changing looks on defense.
"It helps a guy like myself, being a guy who's played a little linebacker and played defensive end, just to be multiple when I'm in coverage," Ninkovich said.
In practice, Ninkovich still splits time between the linemen and the linebackers during positional drills, trying to keep up to date on what both units are doing.
"I go with the D-line, I go with the linebackers, I do a little bit of both," he said. "But with me being a linebacker in the past, any questions I have I go to Pepper Johnson … and he tells me what's up. Then I go to the D-line, watch the technique, see what everybody else is doing."
He's found that, in his eighth year in the league, he's trying to become more of a technical specialist instead of relying solely on his natural abilities.
"With D-line it's really about anticipating what they're playing before the ball's snapped, reading the guys in front of you," he said. "As you get older, you realize you have to be a technician when it comes to all that, because as the years roll on, I just can't jump off the ball and beat a guy around the corner like I used to."
Here and there
Practice Wednesday was bumped up two hours to 10:15 a.m. in anticipation of thunderstorms. It was the right move, because a steady rain began to fall about 15 minutes after practice ended. … A female referee was spotted on the sidelines, drawing the attention of Ninkovich, who was glad she didn't throw a flag on him, but warned she won't get any sympathy from the coaching staff. "They'll still get yelled at," he said. "I know Bill's not gonna go easy on anybody out there." … The play of the day was undoubtedly Dobson's leaping catch over two Eagles defenders (Nate Allen and Curtis Marsh) on a 50-yard bomb from Tom Brady. Honorable mention to Zach Sudfield for securing a bobbling ball with one-hand, getting two feet down in the corner of the end zone and taking the hit from Williams. … Tim Tebow looked sharp, albeit against Philadelphia's second- and third-team defense.

Kadner: Springfield doesn't like common-sense bills
By Phil Kadner email@example.com April 12, 2013 11:36PM
Illinois Rep. Jack Franks (D-Marengo)
Article Extras
Updated: May 15, 2013 6:47AM
There ought to be a law against your property tax bill increasing when the value of your home decreases.
And why isn't it illegal for elected officials to hold more than one office at the same time?
State Rep. Jack Franks (D-Woodstock) has heard voters' complaints and tried to pass legislation to address those issues.
"I got 25 fewer votes on (the property tax bill) this year than I got last year when it passed the House and it was killed in the Senate," Franks said. "I got my ass kicked."
I wrote about House Bill 89 last year. It would have amended the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL), commonly known as the "tax cap," to freeze the amount that a taxing district can raise its annual tax levy if the collective value of homes in the district has decreased during the previous year.
"In Illinois, more than 28 percent of homes were underwater as of Jan. 1, yet taxing bodies act as though they are victims and continue to ask for more every year," Franks said in a statement. "In fact, homeowners are being victimized by an unfair and outdated system, and it is driving people out of the state."
During a telephone conversation on Friday, I told Franks that his bill may have lost votes in the House because home prices are on the rise. It may not seem as relevant to legislators to freeze tax levies as they did when the real estate market was falling.
"That's true, but who is to say this won't happen again in the future?" Franks said. "We passed PTELL when property values were skyrocketing to place limits on how much governments could benefit at the expense of taxpayers.
"We never foresaw the day that housing prices would fall. Now that we understand it can happen, why not address the problem?"
Franks knows that the real problem with the property tax system is that the state has shifted the burden for funding public education onto the backs of homeowners and businesses over the decades.
But no one in Springfield wants to tackle that issue because it has worked well to relieve the state of one of its few constitutional duties.
I like Franks. He's often referred to as a maverick, with implications that he's a publicity seeker or some sort of kook.
"I don't think I'm a kook," he said. "It's what I'm here to do. I propose laws that the public wants.
Ultimately, we win these battles. It just takes time and public support."
House Bill 3250, the Public Service Act, would place limits on the number of elected offices a person can hold.
It states that an elected official may not hold more than one public office simultaneously and specifies that the limitation applies whether or not elected officials receive compensation for a public office.
"You know about the problem in your area because you see people holding more than one office at a time," Franks told me.
The Illinois attorney general's office has issued opinions about certain public offices having a conflict of interest with others. But those are very narrowly defined, and the problem comes up often.
For instance, Crestwood Trustee John Toscas ran April 9 ran for mayor and for Worth Township assessor.
A question was raised about whether the offices would be incompatible if he held both. That became moot when Toscas was defeated in both races. Maybe the public had its say on the matter.
It concerns me that legislators have also held the post of township supervisor in the Southland.
State Rep. Robert Rita (D-Blue Island) is supervisor of Calumet Township and state Rep. Al Riley (D-Olympia Fields) is supervisor of Rich Township.
Bridgeview Mayor Steven Landek is also a state senator. He replaced Lou Viverito in the Senate. Viverito is the longtime Stickney Township supervisor.
State lawmakers have been under pressure to abolish township government, which receives money from the state. And municipalities not only get state funds, they actively lobby the Legislature on a range of issues.
Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki, who was once a state legislator, has told me he thinks mayors who are lawmakers bring a local perspective to state government. That's probably true, but a mayor could resign his office after an election and still bring that perspective.
Should public officials be penalized while lawyers, insurance brokers, real estate agents and others are allowed to hold their jobs while serving as legislators or mayors?
It doesn't seem fair. But it also doesn't seem right to have a public official influencing legislation that would have an impact on his town or township.
Of course, Chicago mayors have found a way around that problem by working to elect lawmakers who do their bidding in Springfield.
The issue is academic because Franks couldn't even get his bill limiting public service out of the House Executive Committee.
"It's incumbent protection," he said. "Insiders helping insiders. But I will continue to shine a light on it and explain it.
"But I could sure use the public's support. Tell them to contact their lawmakers and back these bills when they come up."
UPDATE: Cook County Commissioner Liz Gorman (R-Orland Park) said that in response to reader reaction to this column, she has persuaded county board President Toni Preckwinkle to amend an ordinance that places a county tax on the sale of cars between individuals, including family members.
Gorman was not specific about the change but said it would likely come up for a vote soon.
The new tax could cost a college kid $175 for buying a used car with 200,000 miles on it from a friend for $500.

Chicagoland Celebrates Eid Al Adha
November 17, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Tausif Malik
Muslims from across the Chicagoland area prayed at various Masjids and joined with other Muslims of the world to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha on November 6, 2011.Various Masjids across Chicagoland held multiple prayers accommodate the faithful and people hugged friends and relatives while exchanging greetings after the morning prayer. After prayers, the devotees sacrificed goats and other animals and shared the meat with their relatives, friends and the poor.
"In today's second sermon at MEC Morton Grove, the Imam Sheikh Omar Baloch gave an explanation for the celebration of Bakr-Eid. The celebration is to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Almighty.He further said that the importance of trust amongst families and communities ,which is in turn is trust based on their individual dedication towards the word of Almighty.
"The festival underlines the truth that sacrifice brings man and god close to each other. It is not about the sacrifice of goat or sheep, but a reminder of one's submission to god and the feeling of sacrifice and obedience attached to it," Razia Ataur rehman, a resident of Morton Grove said.
Resident of Devon Avenue Asif said "Sacrifice is important for individual and group as this fosters love and affection "and his words were also echoed by his friend Rashid.
Sisters Thameem Mohiuddin,Naveen and Sharmeen along with their mother Nahid Mohiduddin were excited to celebrate the Eid and wished for happiness and peace for everyone.
The Khan family of Schaumburg said that Family and respect for the creator helps them steer through the economic challenges.
'Eid at the Islamic Center of Detroit
November 10, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Jumana Abusalah
Muslim residents of Dearborn and Detroit, Michigan woke up on November 6th to a bright and sunny Sunday morning. It was Eid Ul Adha, and it was already off to a good start. Muslims gather on this holy day to mark the end of Hajj and to commemorate and remember Prophet Ibrahim (as).
The ICD (Islamic Center of Detroit) is a big success every year, as it is on the edge of Dearborn and Detroit, where many Muslims reside. This year was no different! The ICD was swarming with no less than 4,000 people! Upon arrival to the mosque, people gave their Salaams to each other and recited takbeer in unison. When prayer was called, thousands and thousands of Muslims rushed to thank Allah for the blessed opportunities and blessings He bestows upon us. Foot to foot, and shoulder to shoulder, there was no better feeling than standing united with so many fellow Muslims on this blessed day.
After prayer, everyone sat to listen to the Imam's Khutba. One main point of the Khutba was on the importance of forgiveness and renewing our relationships with fellow Muslims. The significance and holiness of this day should encourage us to erase any grudges or fights we might have between family and friends.
Along with the Imam, we thanked Allah for the freedom of the Palestinian prisoners and realized that this was the first Eid that they were able to celebrate since their imprisonment. This was proof that our du'aas do not go unanswered and that as long as we stay close to Allah, He will help us and guide us Insh'Allah. It was especially touching and moving to many people, considering the events that have recently transpired in the Middle East. We then raised our hands in humbleness and made du'aa for all Muslims and thanked Allah for allowing us to experience another wonderful Eid.
After prayer, people dispersed excitedly to continue their Eid activities. Some children spent their energy by jumping on the moon bounce; others ran excitedly to where there were free gifts and colorful balloons. People that had not eaten raced to the falafel sandwiches and different assortments of pies and sweets. Most importantly was the gathering and meeting of friends and family. This is the day where people forgot their problems and simply enjoyed each other's company, reassured year by year that Muslims will always be there for each other and that Allah will always be there to help.
Moonsighting for Dhul-Hijjah 1430
November 23, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Saudi Arabia announced on Tuesday, November 17, that `Eid Al-Adha, one of the two main religious festivals on the Islamic calendar, will fall on Friday, November 27. "The new moon of Dhul-Hijjah was sighted by trusted witnesses on Tuesday in a number of provinces," the Supreme Judicial Council said in a statement published by the state-run Saudi Press Agency. "Thus, Wednesday, November 18, will mark the beginning of the lunar month of Dhul-Hijjah."
The Astronomical New Moon is on November 16, 2009 (Monday) at 19:14 UT. This moon cannot be seen anywhere in the world. On November 17, it still cannot be seen in Asia, Europe and Canada. It can be seen in South Africa, Central America, and South America. In USA, there is a small chance to see it on November 17.
Fiqh Council of North America Announces EID UL-ADHA
According to astronomical calculations, the month of Zul Hijjah will begin on November 18 and thus the expected date of Eid ul Adha is Friday, November 27. It is confirmed by Saudi Authorities that 'Arafah date for Hajj is on Thursday, November 26, and Eid-al-Adha is on Friday November 27.

Authentic and Transparent Communication
This week I'd like to discuss the value and necessity of authentic and transparent preaching.
Bring You
Every year, I personally mentor a handful of young speakers. Most of the speakers I work with don't struggle with researching the text, preaching creatively, building meaningful outlines, or pointing people toward the gospel. Most of the communicators I see struggle to bring all of themselves to a message.
When you preach or teach, you must bring you. Without you in, around, and through the message, you will not impact today's listener.
The younger audience today has a built in authentic-meter. You can preach with passion, humor, clever points, or heart-wrenching stories. But if the scriptures haven't touched your life, the listener will know it—and ignore your well-crafted message.
People want to know:
- How has the text affected you?
- How have you failed in the area(s) the Scripture addresses?
- What about the text makes you uncomfortable?
- What do you feel about what scripture is saying? (I know our feelings don't trump scriptural truth, but talking about how we feel about the text can help engage others to listen at a deeper level.)
- How are you becoming different because of your study in God's word?

- Conference date: 24–29 July 2011
- Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
High-energy electrons and photons are remarkably clean probes of hadronic matter, providing a microscope for examining atomic nuclei and the strong nuclear force. For more than a decade, laboratories worldwide have accumulated data for such investigations, which resulted in a number of surprising discoveries and have contributed to our understanding of the nucleon, its underlying quark structure, and the dynamics of the strong interaction. In recent high-precision experiments at Jefferson Laboratory with high-quality polarized electron beams measuring recoil polarization, one notable discovery has been the unexpected Q 2 variation of the ratio of the proton elastic form-factors μp GE =GM , which suggests important contributions from quark orbital angular momentum to the spin of the nucleon. Complementary to form-factor measurements, the spectrum of excited nucleons can serve as an excellent probe of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of strong interactions. Since nucleons are complex systems of confined quarks, they exhibit the characteristic spectra of excited states. Highly excited nucleon states are sensitive to the details of quark confinement, which is poorly understood within QCD. The current effort at facilities worldwide studying the systematics of the nucleon spectrum is to utilize highly-polarized frozenspin (butanol) and deuterium targets in combination with polarized photon beams. These are important steps toward so-called complete experiments, which allow us to unambiguously determine the scattering amplitude in the underlying reactions and identify resonance contributions. Several new nucleon resonances have been proposed in recent years. The status of the polarization experiments and preliminary results are discussed in this contribution.

Having started as a death metal ensemble, Lahti, Finland's Entwine have come a long way to be one of the leaders in the Finnish goth rock and metal scene. Founded in 1995 and more or less having reached its current formation in the turn of the millennium Entwine have gradually grown their popularity and matured their sound from the melancholic approach so typical to Finns, towards a more accessible, international and modern sound.
Another evolutionary leap from the more commercial Americanism and electro leanings of 2004's "DiEversity" and heaviness of 2006's "Fatal Design", the latest step, "Painstained" presents an even more melody-oriented Entwine than any of its predecessors. The band has headed into yet another new direction. Layering Mika Tauriainen's melodic vocals over de-tuned and heavy guitars and the strong backbone of the Hanttu/ Miettinen rhythm section, with "Painstained" Entwine have truly come to their own. They're ready to give the Lacuna Coils and HIMs of this world a run for their money.
Having renewed their contract with Spinefarm Records and not needing to prove anything to anyone anymore, Entwine has managed to forge a living, breathing body of work with a seemingly unbreakable succession of highlights. Starting with the radio single "Strife" and ranging to the last fading notes of "Say Goodbye", "Painstained" is a captivating slab melodic supremacy. Broadening their musical horizons once more Entwine has created the ultimate goth rock sound; catchy and dark.
In 2010 Entwine released their first compilation album, "Rough n' Stripped", with 2 new songs. The compilation is a double album, with the first CD containing the original versions of their best material and the second one featuring new acoustic or remixed versions of their lighter and mellower material.
