- If the port has a differential REF CLK, and I want to use a single-ended clock, what do I do with the other differential input?
- Is .01 uF sufficient for power supply pin bypass?
- Is all DDS software supplied by Analog Devices compatible with all WinXX versions?
- Is it ok for me to connect the same power supply to both the charge pump and distribution power supply pins?
- Is it okay to AC-couple PECL or LVDS outputs?
- Is it possible to impedance match a clock output if it is heavily loaded? (e.g. CL=100pF)
- Is there a way to cause Input/Output rising edges to be synchronous (zero delay) with the AD9510/11?
- Is there an advantage to running a higher VCO frequency than the output frequency?
- Is there any difference between the nature of an oscillator's phase noise and the phase noise from a clock chip?
- Is there any reason to use a transformer on a differential clock output to obtain a "clean" single-ended clock output?
- May I use the AD9540 for spread spectrum clocking?
- My application has pretty tight power consumption requirements. I am very interested in the capabilities of the AD9510, but I don't need every feature. Is it possible to turn off the unused features and save power?
- My applications are RF, not for clocking data converters. Can ADI's 951X ICs be used for RF applications?
- My circuit board has both an analog GND and a digital GND. How should I connect the AD9510 pins labeled GND?
- My evaluation board is not working; the software is reporting a USB Communication Error. I verified that the evaluation board is connected to the PC and powered. What else can I check?
- My loop is not locking. How do I debug this?
- On my board, I can't get the same low jitter numbers that are shown in the datasheet. Am I doing something wrong?
- On the AD9510, how can I make sure that the duty cycle of output clocks stays within 40% to 60% duty cycle window?
- On the AD9510, what is the relationship between clock output jitter and CLK1/CLK2 input slew rate?
- On the AD951x clock ICs, does the phase offset (coarse delay) affect the jitter?
- Should I reference the passive filter to ground? or supply?
- Should I separate digital and analog ground planes on my evaluation board?
- Should I tie my loop filter to ground or PLL supply?
- Should I use the minimum charge pump current settings in order to minimize power?
- Some of the schematics in the AD951x data sheets show an LVPECL termination scheme which is different from the classic termination often seen (50 Ω to Vs - 2V, or the Thevenin equivalent thereof). How does this work, and how did you chose 200 Ω for the resistors? Can I use 100 ohms to improve the slew rate (or jitter)?
- The AD9510 datasheet says to use an external pull-up resistor on the FUNCTION pin. Why do I need this and what range of resistors will work?
- The loop filter was working great until I changed the divide ratio in PLL. What happened?
- The reference input is differential, but my reference is single-ended. Do I need to convert to differential to drive the AD9510?
- Using the "ADC SNR method", what is the equivalent bandwidth for the jitter specification?
- What are some of the advantages/disadvantages of using LVPECL vs. LVDS outputs?

- Why can't I use a bandpass filter for my loop filter?
- Why did the model numbers change on the AD9852 and AD9854 products? I thought they were available in the ASQ package.
- Why do I see reference spurs?
- Why do I want to run a fast PFD frequency?
- Why do you recommend AC coupling, rather than DC coupling, at the clock inputs?
- Why does spectral performance degrade when using larger values of multiplication on the clock multiplier?
- Why does the AD9540 require special filtering on its analog output. What are the requirements of this filter?
- Why doesn't the mini-divider support the divide ratio I want?
- Why doesn't the PLL make my reference input and the clock outputs line up?
- Why don't you spec psrr and cmrr in the datasheet?
- Why is my phase noise shape changing when I change the PLL settings?
- Why is the fine delay adjust not available on all the outputs?

The G35 sedan is starting to show its age, but I still enjoy getting behind the wheel. There's an effortlessness to the way this car drives that is very satisfying. You just get in, buckle up, put it in gear, press the accelerator, and go; the supple chassis, communicative steering, and willing V-6 take over from there. The seating position and sightlines are pleasing, and the ergonomics, especially with the $2150 navigation package's excellent touch-screen display, are top-notch.
That said, for all its energy, the Infiniti G35's 306-hp, 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V-6 engine is pretty coarse. It delivers nearly seamless acceleration, but it doesn't sound very good as it does so, with none of the mellifluousness of the BMW straight-sixes, of course, but also falling short of V-6s from Mercedes-Benz and Acura.
I also note that this car is rated at only 17 city, 23 highway, and its five-speed automatic is surely partly to blame. Since Infiniti has recently introduced a slick seven-speed automatic for the new Infiniti FX50, one can assume that it will eventually trickle down to the G as well. The G sedan is due to get Infiniti's larger, 3.7-liter V-6 soon, since that engine is already in the G37 coupe.
For comparison, the all-wheel-drive BMW 3-series sedan is rated at 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway.
Our tester's base sticker was $34,100, but the car was loaded with some six thousand dollars in options, including a $2300 premium package (moonroof, stereo upgrade, iPod interface, seat memory, Bluetooth, etc.); a $1100 sport package (magnesium paddle shifters, 18-inch alloy wheels, sport seats, special exterior trim); and a $2150 navigation package. With destination, the final price was $40,365, a price point with lots of other attractive options.

If blowouts and one big upset qualify as madness for you, then you probably enjoyed Saturday.
Here's what went down on a disappointing day of hoops to open the Round of 32…
As always, we begin with the results.
No. 4 Michigan 78, No. 5 VCU 53 – South Region
No. 3 Michigan State 70, No. 6 Memphis 48 - Midwest Region
No.1 Louisville 82, No. 8 Colorado State 56 – Midwest Region
No. 6 Arizona 74, No. 14 Harvard 51 – West Region
No. 12 Oregon 74, No. 4 Saint Louis 57 – Midwest Region
No. 3 Marquette 74, No. 6 Butler 72 – East Region
No. 9 Wichita State 76, No. 1 Gonzaga 70 – West Region
No. 4 Syracuse 66, No. 12 California 60 – East Region
- With the winners from Thursday's schedule of mostly blowout results playing each other, perhaps we should have expected the lack of competitive games, but this was ridiculous. The first five games of the day were all decided by at least 17 points and only one of the eight games finished within five. Friday's group of teams provided more excitement and intrigue, so we'll just have to hope that they do it again on Sunday.
- Maybe the NCAA should just have Marquette and Butler play each other in every round, as both games between the two teams this season have come down to the final possession.
If the Bulldogs had been able to pull off the miracle again, the stories would have written themselves.
- After going up 15-13 early in the first half, Marquette fell behind by 10 and didn't retake the lead until Vander Blue's dunk with 7:14 remaining in the game made it 60-58. The Golden Eagles, who had to stage a late rally to squeak by Davidson on Thursday, have now won their two tournament games by a combined three points.
Each of Marquette's last 8 games have been decided by 8 points or fewer #nailbiters
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) March 24, 2013
This marks the third straight Sweet 16 appearance for Buzz Williams and Marquette.
- The upset of the day was obviously Wichita State taking down West Region No. 1 and AP Poll No. 1 Gonzaga. The Canadian duo of Kelly Olynyk and Kevin Pangos combined for 45 points for Gonzaga, but they also combined to shoot just 14-of-39 from the field, with the usually super efficient Olynyk going 8-of-22. With the Zags, Lobos, Wildcats and Badgers all gone, the wild West is officially Ohio State's to lose, right?
By the way, speaking of the wild West, the Shockers' shocker ensures that one of Wichita State, Ole Miss or La Salle will be in the Elite Eight.
- Player of the day honours go to Michigan's freshman forward Mitch McGary, who had 21 points and 14 rebounds while shooting 10-of-11 in a Wolverines rout. Honourable mention goes out to the aforementioned Vander Blue, who had 29 points for Marquette against Butler just two days after scoring the game-winning basket in the final second against Davidson.

313 Teppema to Burton
Letter CANBERRA, 6 September 1947
When I last met Dr. Evatt on September 2nd at the French Legation I mentioned to him that I had gladly complied with his request, formulated on the previous day, to send a personal message on his behalf to The Hague.
This message conveyed his congratulations on the occasion of the anniversary of H.M. The Queen's Birthday and further expressed Dr.
Evart's desire to renew, during his stay in the United States, his Paris contacts [1] with Baron van Boetzelaer. Dr. Evatt felt that a full and frank discussion with my Foreign Minister, should he lead our delegation to the U.N.O., might be helpful towards a solution of the various difficulties all of which your Minister considered might easily be disposed of.
In referring you to the letter which I sent to the Right Hon. The Prime Minister dated the 3rd instant [2], which I assume has by now come to your notice, I believe I have given you a complete background of the conversation.
I arranged with Dr. Evatt that any reply which would be received in answer to my message would be passed on to you personally. He assured me that you would see to its further and safe transmission.
I therefore would ask you to be good enough to communicate to Dr.
Evatt by cable, firstly that the Netherlands Government appreciates the congratulations which the Minister interpreted [3]; and secondly that Baron van Boetzelaer to his regret most probably will not be able to proceed to New York but that he trusts that Dr. Evatt will frankly discuss the various questions with Dr. H. van Roijen, Netherlands Ambassador at Ottawa (who will be in New York) and whose acquaintance Dr. Evatt made at San Francisco in 1945.
If I may be allowed to strike a personal note I would be particularly grateful if you were to add and convey on my own behalf that I am convinced that nothing would be more heartily welcomed by my Government than an early improvement in our relations with Australia. These relations, as you undoubtedly realise yourself, suffered a further setback as a result of the rather impetuous attitude of the Australian representative at the Security Council. For the moment it looked as if the situation might be further aggravated by the somewhat tactless approach of Mr. Eaton [4], which now however happily belongs to the past.
I still believe that if we can join hands on the boycott question [5] and continue our efforts to terminate what is becoming a chronic disease all will be well between us.
May I ask you to acknowledge receipt of this letter and to confirm to me that the message of my Government has been conveyed to Dr.

BANGALORE: A DRDO engineer, doctor, journalist, MBA...The profile of the arrested LeT and HuJI operatives on Thursday has sent shock waves.
The trend of educated professionals on the terror network began to surface in the state in 2006. It heralded the changing face of terror and the magnitude of their planning and involvement, which ranged from train bombings to terror attack on a foreign soil.
It began with the arrest of Muzammil Sheikh, a software engineer with a MNC in Bangalore, in connection with the 2006 train bombings in Mumbai.
Next was the turn of Ahmed brothers from Bangalore - Dr Sabeel Ahmed, a MBBS doctor, and Kafeel Ahmed, a PhD scholar in aeronautical engineering - to get arrested in connection with the terror plot and the attack on the Glasgow Airport in the United Kingdom in June-July 2007.
A few months later, in January 2008, the state police stumbled upon a network of SIMI and LeT activists at Honnali in Davangere district and Hubli. Of the more than a dozen persons arrested, there were students of medicine, doctors and engineers, besides a LeT operative.
The terror modules busted in the state include the LeT, SIMI, Al-Badr, Deendar-Anjuman and HuJI. The investigators have also found some links to the al-qaida in the past.

With Reporting By ABC News' Pierre Thomas and Jason Ryan:
Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder who transformed personal computing, communications and other fields with such products as the iPhone and iPad, also had a 191-page FBI file that detailed a federal background check, a bomb threat made against him, and second-hand reports of drug use.
Released today under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the FBI file shows that Jobs' background was checked in 1991 for an appointment to the White House Export Council under President George H.W. Bush; and that he and other Apple employees were targets of a bomb threat in 1985.
The bomb threat, as described by the FBI, must have made for a scary day. On the morning of Feb. 7, 1985, it said, an unidentified male made a series of calls to Apple staff, claiming three "devices" had been placed at Jobs' home and those of two other executives. The caller said a fourth bomb had also been placed, but refused to give the location. There was a warning: "This one would go off, if authorities notified."
The caller demanded $1 million. He told Apple officials to go to a San Francisco Hilton and look for a table next to a candy machine. Under the table they would find a note with instructions. The caller said this had to be done by 2:30 that afternoon or "bombs would go off."
Police traced the call to a garage near the San Francisco Airport. Bomb sweeps were done. Police went to all the locations and dusted for fingerprints. No bombs were found and, according to the FBI file, no one was arrested.
Jobs Courted by Bush Administration
The bulk of the FBI file dates from 1991. It reveals no felony convictions and dryly lists lawsuits in which Jobs was involved, but also cites unnamed associates who mentioned Jobs' drug use and questioned his "honesty."
During the background investigation, an agent wrote, "Several Individuals commented concerning past drug use on the part of Mr. Jobs." It adds, "Mr. Jobs also commented concerning his past drug use." (p.37)
On the same page: "Several individuals questioned Mr. Jobs' honesty, stating that Mr. Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals."
"[Name redacted] also advised that he was aware that Mr. Jobs used illegal drugs, including marijuana and LSD while they were attending college." (p. 41)
The file also notes (p. 40) that "based on the background information furnished by Mr. Jobs, he has no close relatives residing in communist-controlled countries." Former associates at Apple said they "recommended him for a position of trust with the Government."
Having passed the background check, Jobs served on the Export Council during the first Bush administration from 1991 until the end of the administration in 1993, according to the International Trade Administration.
The file was posted on the FBI website this morning. Many of the themes in it have already been reported in news stories and Walter Isaacson's biography, "Steve Jobs," but the report adds some details.
In includes a description of a 1991 interview with a woman who knew Jobs well (her name, like almost all others, is removed), and "was somewhat reluctant to discuss the Appointee since she has questions concerning his ethics and morality." Sentences following that have been redacted.
It goes on: "She described his personal life as being lacking due to his narcissism and shallowness. She added at the same time that he has far reaching vision and can vitalize plans and goals much the same as what he accomplished at Apple Computers."
ABC News' Mary Bruce contributed reporting.

The Obama challenge
America wakes up today to a new era in its political history. And as Barack Obama prepares to take office, he will have to wrestle with these facts of life: the economy is either in recession or teetering on the brink of one, and the U.S. is embroiled in two wars.
Across the Web, a plethora of voices are dissecting the campaign . In a BusinessWeek piece, former General Electric CEO Jack Welch makes his position clear, saying John McCain's economic platform made better sense for business, and that business leaders could take away three lessons from the election: Have a clear, consistent vision; make few mistakes; and have friends in high places.
Over at the New York Times, an editorial concludes that Obama's triumph was decisive because "he saw what is wrong with this country: the utter failure of government to protect its citizens." It also points out some of the challenges facing the president-elect: "Tens of millions of Americans lack health insurance, including some of the country's most vulnerable citizens — children of the working poor. Other Americans can barely pay for their insurance or are in danger of losing it along with their jobs. They must be protected."
Across the Atlantic, interest in the election has also been high. British newspaper The Independent wonders whether Obama will be "a modern-day Franklin D Roosevelt, who pulled the US back up over the economic precipice, or will he be a disastrous copy of his predecessor, Herbert Hoover?"
And Edward Luce, writing for the Financial Times, says: "Faced with a mountain of domestic and global problems that would have taxed the leadership skills of America's greatest presidents, Mr Obama will have to act swiftly to justify the faith his country's voters have placed in him."
In Asia, Kent Ewing says in the Asia Times Online that "it is once again cool to be an American living abroad," giving voice to the anger many foreigners harbor against George W. Bush.
What's your view? Beyond the history-making, President-elect Obama must still govern. Given the challenges of today, how will he do? Will he live up to expectations?

Instant reactions are just that…it will be interesting to see if Obama can organize his government team as well as he organized his election team. Maybe he will be a leader..but maybe he is just a good communicator. Only time will tell, but his challenges are almost as great as those of Roosevelt and it took WWII to solve our economic and military problems…
The Democrats have all of the pieces, but they don't have real leaders in the House or Senate, but neither did the Republicans.
Lets all pray…together, since it will take more power than we have…
Bill Rothschild, author of Risktaker, Caretaker, Surgeon and Undertaker the four faces of strategic leadership.
As person that has lived in foriegn countries for number of years and has served in the american military, I am again proud to be an american. I had lost that pride in recent years.
As a post baby-boomer American, I am both proud of the USA and concerned that the idealism that helped to elect Obama may turn to disenchantment as the size and scope of the problems that face our nation and the world becomes clear.
Democracies work best when the masses participate. That said, the masses have not always seen the wisdom of compromise as a part of governance.
did Obama organize his team…or was Obama organized by a team,, and sold by the media…Will the DNC be his puppet master.
It is true that Obama is taking office during one of the most challenging times in American history and many question his ability to govern. Although government is a very important part of the solution, it cannot be forgotten that it is only one part of that solution. The American people are the other part. The American economy will muscle its way out of this recession through the innovation, drive, and spirit of the American entrepenuers and work force; not through government bail-outs and stimilus packages. What America needs now is a leader who can ignite our passion for innovation, reform, and unity. Throughout history when times have gotten tough it was the American people who put in their own blood, sweat, and tears to pull America back on track. All Americans ever needed was hope and motivation. I believe that this election has illustrated the desires of many Americans to leave the feelings of fear, abandonment, and hopelessness behind us and look forward to a new era filled with the hope and motivation that we will need to work together and pull America out of this recession. The election of Barrack Obama offers a new sense of hope that will in turn motivate America. It is this motivation that offers the solution we are looking for.
'the only thing new in this world,is the history you don't know"………Harry Truman. The body "politic" is what it is, the first African-American President is not an enviable position to be, I think I would prefer to be the 3rd or 4th, he has an un-enviable position to be…………… the world is watching…..waiting………and ever critical!
And, no or yes, he may or may not be up to the task!
American have cast for an change in America history. Is this change for a better or worse? Only history will tell. People who give great speech does not always come with action. Do not listen what his or her say but clearly pay attention on actions were taken.
Obama in just 3 years propelled himself from being an obscure young local politico into a leader of the world.Such a short span worked for him very well by providing a clean slate to the masses who could lay their hopes their aspirations and their identities on him without
actually knowing and understanding his capacity,his strength and his insight into the complexities of this world as it is.The situation which propelled him may yet become his unravelling.His public service record is relevant in just furthering his cause and what else is unknown.Does he have what it takes to make good that hope and so called change which he managed to build by the rhetoric (and the vested interest that financed it)in this cynical and self serving world?Being the President is incidental being a statesman requires selflessness and forbearance.For it is the statesman who makes history and is able to set things right however insignificant that right may be in the course of time.
Isn't it a bit too late to be asking the questions people are now putting forth about Obama's ability to lead our country? Shouldn't this have been a consideration many months ago?
Good luck to President-elect Obama.
America chose a lottery ticket in a time of great uncertainty. Again the intelligence of the average American can be questioned by the world. Yet, the world did not even know this gentlemen and they wanted him to win. It seems more racial than for the greater good.
Being from Illinois I know quite well the question of Obama's accomplishments. Sadly I also know the answer. The truth is that his accomplishments are more fluff than substance.
Since the Democrats have took over the state it is on the brink of bankruptcy.
The city of Chicago is also run by Democrats and also is in dire shape. We have the highest sales tax in the country. The tripling, quadrupling, etc of property taxes from taking old homes or warehouses and making them into condos has still not balanced the budget.
The Democrats have run congress for 4 years and the last two have been horrendous.
I hope hope Obama turns out to me than a person who takes a good picture and tells a good story. Sadly, I think his blind supporters will learn the truth and we will all pay.
God Bless America!
P-E Obama has just kicked off his campaign boots and is pulling on the president's helmet. We all know, it will not be as easy for Obama as it was for George Bush, who inhereted a fairly sound economy, an intact army and a bunch of happy allies. He even inherited a warning about the dangers of terrorism.
But Obama is a coolheaded man, and I think that is why a lot of people voted for him. McCain was hopping around like Elmar Fudd during the campaign, and that is very unsettling.
About JACK AND SUZY WELCH. Jack Welch is an old reaganite. His approach to business may be good for shareholder value, but his own business values are ancient, dating back to the 19th century. Welch is a nice guy, I even talked to him recently at a press conference, but his idea of corporate responsibility is rhetorical hooey and his idea of leadership is to threaten and bully people — no matter how much he sugarcoats that.
For Welch, the environment is one big garbage can, and the fact that people have to live in that garbage can is irrelevant. GE, in Pittsfield, shut down its factories (after Reagan came to power), left 13.000 people out of work, and the Housatonic River so polluted locals (like myswelf) were not able to use it anymore…. Country First, indeed! Welch epitomizes what is wrong with the laissez-faire form of free marketeering….. it ultimately makes managers and CEOs forget the reality of real people, and those same people forget to take responsibility for their actions, esp. those that caused human suffering.
The Jack Welch school of business negates sustainability. He says that good business brings benefits to all concerned, he praises the India boom, the China boom, forgetting that the gaps between rich and poor are growing and that that could easily have a highly destabilizing effect on those societies. It is the jaw-dropped faith in trickle-down… but what is landing on the people is often a few yellowish and smelly drops, like the PCB-filled waters of the Housatonic River or the rain that once fell on Bhopal.
A magazine in Switzerland rightly nicknamed him "Jurassic Jack".
I believe his time is up. Our future, economic and political, requires a new generation of broad and compassionate thinkers. Individuals like Obama.
Time will tell if Obama is a good, bad or mediocre President. I understand the desire for protection from the uncertainties of today's economic mess, but as a small business owner, I hope for a balance that nurtures entrepreneurs and helps the citizens.
congratulation for him , USA people already made a history
I am a human being and a loyal American citizen (voter) born in 1953 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
I worked for the Pensylvania Department of Public Welfare as a senior auditor for approx.20 years. I audited human service Programs in the Department and also in many of the State's 67 Counties. I also audited "supposedly non-profit Corporations" providing contracted "Human Sevices". I am a fiscal conservative and a moderate liberal Democrat. At one time I was a registered Republican.
It took me 14 years to attain a Business Degree from the Penn State University in Professional Accountancy and pass two parts of the CPA exam. Penn State is "land grant" University initiated by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War.
Also,in the social climate of "post 1960″, "hippie years,I traveled extensively (hitchiking/car) in the Unites States(slept at Haight/Asbury in San Francisco. I also traveled extensively in Mexico, Canada the European Country's of England, France, Holland, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Spain and the former "communist" Countries of Hungary and Yugoslavia. I would like to state that 99.9% percent of the people in these countries treated me with decency and respect. I paid for my travels through digging ditches as a construction laborer, warehouse work, truck driving, gas station operator,etc. I also signed up for the Selective Service Draft in 1971.
Sorry for the miscellaneous information but I "voted" for Barack Obama for the simple reasons below:
1.) He is relatively young (47) and is extremely smart as evidenced by his Academic History.
2.) He has absorbed "information about the American people" from state to state for over two years which includes the rich, middle and poor classes.
3.) He is steady and has managed his campaign with great skill against "very determined and qualified" opponnets.
4.) He is a "good and decent family man".
5.) He understands the global complexities of the world through his own experiences with having a white mother, black father, "home grown" Kansas grandparents, living in Indonesia and the state of Hawaii (multi cultural).
6.) He will bring a quick and honorable end to the war in Iraq. I assume by telling the Iraq leaders that they must reconcile their difference and manage a relatively "rich oil producing" country on their own.
7.) He will continue the "ending" of racial, religous, and ethnic prejudices in the United States.
8.) He will examine the Federal Government's budget line by line (his mind is capable of this) and make cuts in "waste", such as inefficent agencies, "lazy federal workers", eliminate Patronage jobs for those who do not know what they are managing, spend money on jobs to improve a "failing" Nationwide infra-structure", cut "ineffective military" weapon systems" etc.
9.) Though he "had to make deals/brown nose" with Illinois established politcians, I am assuming based on the "lessons" he learned from a a two party political system that forces you "to give up some of your ideals/soul", that he will inspire a new poltical system (hopefully) for the upcoming "new generation", my 17 year old daughter included.
10.) He will initiate the formation of a National Health Care System" for all Americans. This will improve the lives of "the normal middle class", by eliminating this worry/bankruptcy. Business is tired of managing health care plans and Blue Cross/Blue Shield and other insurance companies just process paper and collect payments and yet decides who can particpate in their Programs(pre-existing conditions". Medicare and Medicaid already do this "somewhat efficiently". My elderly mother has her medicare bills promptly processed and paid and it does do not exclude her from coverage because she had a stroke, heart attack, etc.
10.) I voted for President Obama because he is honest, positive and not yet tainted by Washington, and did not run a "negative personal attack campaign and chose a "Joe Biden" as Vice President.
In conclusion, I did not vote for Senator McCain for many of the reasons listed above. The Republican National Committee (Rove and Cheney) twisted and turned a decent, compassionate, Patriotic Senator from Arizona into the personfication of George W. Bush who they also "twisted" in a perverse way.
I always viewed Senator McCain as a wise, non-partisan senator who loved and respected all Americans until the end. I sincerely forgive Senator McCain for being misled by "the idiots" around him (RNC). In fact I looked at him at one time in this long campaign as the embodiment of my deceased father who landed on Omaha Beach, fought through Normandy and into Germany. He received three purple hearts (George Washington on the medals) and worked for the Navy as a civilian, attaining high management status and who was involved in the development of Polaris submarine and its nuclear missiles during the "Cold War".
God Bless, Senator Mccain for enduring the torture of the "Hanoi Hilton" and his long years of "good" Public Service in the Senate. And I know he will assist President Obama in the future.
That's all I have to say, America and the World will survive the current recession/financial system why, because an old "hippie" turned accountant, knows it will!
Congratulations UsofA.
As an onlooker from outside (Germany) I will be watching the forthcoming developments very closely. The key question is:
Is the President-elect Obama really the wise personality to select the best people for the right posts? – Are those best people chosen able to fill their jobs? – Are they willing to?
There is not much time to correct the multiple issues both wihtin the UsofA and abroad.
Horst "wizkid" Weidemann
I am a hedge fund manager. What is Germany?
Many of the questions asked above can be summarized into a single question: "Will Obama be a public servant who does what's best for the American people?"
I'm curious that we're asking this question now. Shouldn't we have come to a conclusion on that mystery before casting a ballot?
I made up my mind before casting my ballot.
The future isn't really a mystery if we use our heads and know a little something about the way governments work.
Don't ask questions like, "will Obama do…" whatever.
Start asking questions like, "how will I continue to live in the most free and American way I can despite the restrictions on personal freedom that the government, as operated under Obama's administration, will impose?"
~Adam J.
Some reasons why i did not vote for obama:
1. Dishonest about his past and his beliefs
2. Befriended and coddled radicals who hate America and played a subtle race card
3. Got rid of his 'friends' for political reasons- now he has to deal with the danger
4. Is directly / indirectly responsible for the housing crisis. Gave money, defended ACORN, received money from mortgage companies
5. Is vulnerable to black mail because of bad associations
6. As a person he is weak, carries a lot of emotional and psychological baggage
7. Did a perfect con job because he is Not what he claims to be.
FROM THE BLOG AUTHOR: Charles suggests that the election of Barack Obama offers a new sense of hope that will in turn motivate America. But Victor makes the point that the idealism that helped elect Obama may turn to disenchantment as the scope of the problems facing America becomes clear. Adam says personal freedoms will be restricted under an Obama administration.
There is no doubt that great challenges lie ahead and whether you're a Democrat, Republican or Independent, the decisions made by the new White House and Congress will have an impact on your life. Let's change the question to this: Do you think the year ahead for you personally will be better, the same, or worse under Obama and why?
Thanks , I have recently been looking for info about this topic for a long time and yours is the greatest I've found out so far. However, what about the conclusion? Are you positive in regards to the supply?

Gluten-free diet and autoimmune thyroiditis in patients with celiac disease. A prospective controlled study.
Summary of "Gluten-free diet and autoimmune thyroiditis in patients with celiac disease. A prospective controlled study."
Abstract Objective. Early diagnosis and dietary treatment with a gluten-free diet might slow down the progression of associated autoimmune diseases in celiac disease, but the data are contradictory. We investigated the course of autoimmune thyroid diseases in newly diagnosed celiac disease patients before and after gluten-free dietary treatment. Material and methods. Twenty-seven consecutive adults with newly diagnosed celiac disease were investigated at the time of diagnosis and after 1 year on gluten-free diet. Earlier diagnosed and subclinical autoimmune thyroid diseases were recorded and examined. Thyroid gland volume and echogenicity were measured by ultrasound. Autoantibodies against celiac disease and thyroiditis, and thyroid function tests were determined. For comparison, 27 non-celiac controls on normal gluten-containing diet were examined. Results. At the time of diagnosis, the celiac disease patients had more manifest (n = 7) or subclinical (n = 3) thyroid diseases than the controls (10/27 vs. 3/27, p = 0.055). During the follow-up, the thyroid volume decreased significantly in the patients with celiac disease compared with the controls, indicating the progression of thyroid gland atrophy despite the gluten-free diet. Conclusions. Celiac patients had an increased risk of thyroid autoimmune disorders. A gluten-free diet seemed not to prevent the progression of autoimmune process during a follow-up of 1 year.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Diet, Gluten-free
A diet which is devoid of GLUTENS from WHEAT; BARLEY; RYE; and other wheat-related varieties. The diet is designed to reduce exposure to those proteins in gluten that trigger INFLAMMATION of the small intestinal mucosa in patients with CELIAC DISEASE.
Inflammatory diseases of the THYROID GLAND. Thyroiditis can be classified into acute (THYROIDITIS, SUPPURATIVE), subacute (granulomatous and lymphocytic), chronic fibrous (Riedel's), chronic lymphocytic (HASHIMOTO DISEASE), transient (POSTPARTUM THYROIDITIS), and other AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS subtypes.
Thyroiditis, Autoimmune
Inflammatory disease of the THYROID GLAND due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-CELLS and thyroid AUTOANTIBODIES. The clinical signs can range from HYPOTHYROIDISM to THYROTOXICOSIS depending on the type of autoimmune thyroiditis.
Polyendocrinopathies, Autoimmune
Autoimmune diseases affecting multiple endocrine organs. Type I is characterized by childhood onset and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CANDIDIASIS, CHRONIC MUCOCUTANEOUS), while type II exhibits any combination of adrenal insufficiency (ADDISON'S DISEASE), lymphocytic thyroiditis (THYROIDITIS, AUTOIMMUNE;), HYPOPARATHYROIDISM; and gonadal failure. In both types organ-specific ANTIBODIES against a variety of ENDOCRINE GLANDS have been detected. The type II syndrome differs from type I in that it is associated with HLA-A1 and B8 haplotypes, onset is usually in adulthood, and candidiasis is not present.
Simple protein, one of the prolamines, derived from the gluten of wheat, rye, etc. May be separated into 4 discrete electrophoretic fractions. It is the toxic factor associated with CELIAC DISEASE.

robr2 BostonPosts: 8,086I wonder why my wife who is 100% Irish doesn't get upset about the teams being named the Boston Celtics or Notre Dame's "Fightin' Irish?"
Because those aren't derogatory terms or mascots.
Call them the Boston Paddies or have their mascot dress up in blue collar clothes and have him walk around with a potato in one hand and a beer in the other you'd get backlash.
I think most of the issues have more to do with the logos and cheers. Perhaps to us non natives, but I can see when one is characterized by:
Heck - the Golden State Warriors dumped the Indian themed logos over 40 years ago. Why can't other teams? -
uplanderguy Kent, OHPosts: 7,707I can't see how the Notre Dame mascot would be considered complimentary to Irish folks. I'm not complaining; I think political correctness has run amok though.
I forgot to mention this...on the way to the Auto Show yesterday, on I-480, I passed a current-iteration Mopar minivan with a Marine Corps mural painted on it, and "World War II Veteran" written near the mural. I was pretty impressed. Hadn't seen anything like that before. I should've honked and waved. -

Florida State is one.
I've known that the Florida Seminole tribe has approved of Florida State's use of the name as well as others. But the NCAA continues to work towards eliminating team names and mascots that they consider offensive to Native Americans and they still maintain some sort of banned list of schools that still do use them.
Many of the names go back decades and as such hold great history. But you'd never see a team starting today to use such names. Even when names are changed, it doesn't take long for the old name to be forgotten. Heck, even the Washington Bullets had the sense to rename themselves and when the Sonics moved to OKC, they eschewed the favored OKC Tornadoes in favor of Thunder in order to avoid insensitivity. -

Well there are folks that don't even like teams being named after animals.
Just like car makes and models, its always fairly easy to find someone who doesn't like the given name.
I think some people are always looking for some reason to be offended. -

uplanderguy Kent, OHPosts: 7,707As I mentioned, I saw a non-Hybrid Fusion that stickered at $35K, and made in Mexico--Ford must be making a nice margin on that!!
I don't think Impala buyers want a German smallish car, as much as Bimmer buyers don't want an Impala.
For whatever reason, lemko, I did hear somewhere that the Impala's trunk was quite a bit larger than a LaCrosse, although honestly I don't know why it would be. I think it's odd that the LaCrosse is built where the Malibu is. I wouldn't think they'd share a lot of stuff. -

You mean "what's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW driver?" With the porcupine the p*ick is on the outside.
LOL - I slay me. I'll be here all week, try the veal.
That sentiment though is now attributed to Audi drivers as well. -

dieselone Posts: 5,659The Impala, XTS and Lacrosse are all based on the Epsilon platform hence they are all related.
True, but the dimensions of the Impala seem closer to the XTS overall than the Lacrosse. The Lacrosse is about 4" shorter than the XTS and Impala which are 201.3" and 202". That may partially explain the difference in trunk room. -
andre1969 Posts: 22,231The On/Off switch broke and the set won't come on, but it still delivered a phenomenal picture until then. Sad I can't find the part anywhere. I doubt very much a new LED TV will last that long.
Is there any way you could just glue it back together? Or perhaps wire up some kind of generic on-off switch?
The on-off switch (or pull-knob, rather) is the only thing that ever broke on my 1984 Toshiba 19". Years ago, it started pulling completely out and coming off. You could push it back in, but to turn the tv on and pull it out, you'd have to put a little downward pressure on it, to get it to actually turn on the tv.
I haven't used that tv in years. Actually, I don't even know where it is! :sick: I think it's over at my grandmother's house, probably in the basement somewhere. I probably should get rid of it, as I know I'll never have a need for it again. It's kind of a dumb thing to get attached to, but I have fond childhood memories of it, as I actually saved up half the money to buy it, from working, Christmas money, etc, and my Granddad matched me half. -

You can thank the current government administration for that. They will not allow Gibson to use most hardwoods from other countries. The only way you can get many hardwood products into the USA is in finished form. That was part of the deal Obama made with India where a lot of hardwood comes from. -
andre1969 Posts: 22,231Yeesh - if an Impala spec'd out to my standards is $38K, I might as well get that loaded Buick LaCrosse CXS for my wife instead and just get another hooptie for myself.
Personally, I think the Impala is better looking than the LaCrosse. BTW, the top trim level of a LaCrosse starts at around $38K these days, and can be optioned up to around $46K MSRP, if you click every single option. Now, some of that stuff includes built-in DVDs in the back, and a ~$2000 wheel/tire package, so there's a little fluff in there.
But here's what bugs me...the base price of a LaCrosse is around $31,000, and that's just with a 4-cyl! A Chrysler 300 starts at around $30,000, and comes standard with a V-6. Now, the LaCrosse might still have more standard features, but IMO at least, the 300 just has more presence to it. -

I agree. I wonder how many LaCrosse's sell with a 4cyl. My guess is not many.
