2 years, 8 months ago
The selection in April 2010 of Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon has paid dividends for the Falcons in his first two years in the league, and heading into Year 3, the question looms: Are we just seeing the tip of the iceberg as far as what Spoon is capable of? Mike Nolan thinks so. The new [...]
Bosher Most Affected by Lockout During Rookie Season
2 years, 8 months ago
Perhaps one of the less-written-about storylines in professional football is the pressure a punter faces every time he steps out on the field. Naturally, the position isn't exactly written about all the time. A good punter is like a good offensive lineman: You only hear about him if he's suddenly not so good, and if [...]

Blalock Becomes Face of Atlanta Symphony
2 years, 9 months ago
It's rare when any offensive lineman becomes "the face" of anything other than hard-nosed, tough football. After all, they're called "big uglies" for a reason. But offensive guard Justin Blalock is the new face of the Atlanta Symphony, and it looks like he's fitting in rather nicely. Blalock grew up around music and recognizes its [...]

Blackstone set for major CalPERS commitment-source 05/04 12:52 PMBy Greg RoumeliotisMay 4 (Reuters) - Blackstone Group LP (BX:$12.97,00$0.01,000.08%) , the world's largest alternative asset manager, is close to securing a major managed account on behalf of CalPERS, one of private equity's largest investors, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday. In an increasingly competitive fundraising environment, diversified private equity firms have been capitalizing on their scale by offering large pension funds the opportunity to invest in special accounts across their investment funds. This boosts the assets under management of firms such as Blackstone, which have moved beyond buyouts into areas such as credit, hedge funds and real estate. In exchange for their major commitments, the investors get a break on management fees. An agreement between CalPERS and Blackstone could be reached as early as next week, the source said, without elaborating on the size of the deal or its details. The source was not authorized to speak publicly about the issue and asked not to be identified. Spokespeople for Blackstone and CalPERS declined to comment. The CalPERS commitment would represent a coup for Blackstone after the New Jersey Division of Investment(NJDOI), which manages a $66.2 billion pension fund, agreed last December to invest $1.8 billion across Blackstone's investment businesses, bringing its total commitment to $2.5 billion. Blackstone rivals KKR & Co LP (KKR:$13.13,00$-0.37,00-2.74%) and Apollo Global Management LLC (APO:$12.15,00$-0.19,00-1.54%) had raised the "mega-mandate" stakes a month before by announcing they would manage $3 billion each on behalf of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas. Private equity firms typically charge around 1.5 percent of committed capital as a management fee but investors may pay different fees based on the size of their commitments. "Mega-mandates" allow investors to pay lower fees for big commitments. Some 1,853 private equity targeting a total of $787 billion were fundraising as of the start of the second quarter, a 19 percent year-on-year rise in the aggregate capital sought, according to market research firm Preqin. Blackstone, whose investments include The Weather Channel, Pinnacle Foods and SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, has seen its assets under management swell to a record $190 billion as of the end of March. Its latest buyout fund, Blackstone Capital Partners VI, has raised over $16 billion; its flagship real estate fund, Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII, has raised about $10 billion while its new energy fund has accumulated about $1.5 billion in committed capital. CalPERS, the California pension fund for public employees, had invested $825,972 million in Blackstone shares and a total $771 million in several of its funds as of the end of June 2011, according to the latest data available on its website. Fortune's Dan Primack reported on the deal between Blackstone and CalPERS earlier on Friday.

Close Contact Saddle
Close Contact SaddlesFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: CWD
Model: Close Contact Saddle
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: I purchased this saddle at WEF for $3800. I never tried it on my horse, only on the buckstand. It felt a little weird, but I rushed and thought it would be fine on my horse.
Likes: Nothing. Except the seat leather quality.
Dislikes: Everything. The saddle is the most unbalanced saddle I have ever ridden in. It might have just been my horse, but it was not working. The pommel hit me when I trotted and jumped, and I would be very sore the next day. After five rides I gave up, and called CWD. The rep would not return our calls, and finally I called the head company in France. The people were nice, but there was no way they could solve the problem. I am already fed up with this saddle, and the customer service. They won't take it back and give me the refund I need. I'm sure some people absolutely adore this saddle. Try the saddle on your horse for at least a week before you buy it. Don't make the same mistake that I did and be stuck with a saddle that doesn't fit you, as CWD won't refund your money.
Quality: Everything is fine, except I got grained leather, which is uncomfortable, and hard. The leather inside the billets has started to come out after two weeks of owning it. The billets are hard, stiff, and thick, and impossible to use.
Summary: Don't buy this saddle unless you know what you want and you ride in it with your horse. I personally would not buy one even if it did fit because of billets, and also I rode in this saddle 15 times and after every ride my butt was orange. I ruined at least 2 pairs of riding pants because the dye kept coming off. Just a heads up before you buy.

Scoreboard from the 50-over match between West Indies and the United Arad Emirates at the ICC Global Cricket Academy at Dubai Sports City on Saturday:Toss: West IndiesResult: West Indies won by 245 runs
Chennai, India, CMC – On the ropes in the ongoing Champions League Twenty20 tournament, Trinidad and Tobago are gearing up for a final push to stay in the hunt beginning with their match against the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
Wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin, whose fumbling in a run out situation cost his team the game against Mumbai Indians last week, believes that the semi-final door is not shut despite two close defeats in a row.
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago's cricket authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to West Indies cricket following controversial comments by team captain Daren Ganga suggesting the twin-island republic could compete as a separate entity in international cricket.
In a statement, T&T Cricket Board president Azim Bassarath said any such secession would be a "major setback" to regional cricket development and ensuring West Indies cricket returned to its halcyon days.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, CMC – International matches are set to witness a slew of changes in all three formats with amendments to rules coming into effect from Saturday. One of those changes – the fielding side using two new balls an innings in One-Day Internationals – will be seen in the five-match series between India and England, beginning October 14.

Rural gold demand may not pick up during Akshaya Tritiya
April 28, 2014
Sutanuka Ghosal , ET Bureau
Kolkata: Vishnu Mukati, a soybean farmer from Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, is not keen to buy any gold jewellery this Akshaya Tritiya, which falls on May 2. Vishnu, whose family depends only on agriculture, is keeping his cash intact so as to tide over any crisis that may arise due to weak rainfall. "I can buy some gold now. But I am not sure whether I will be able to liquidate it when I need it the most. Moreover, gold price may crash at that time," he said. Like Vishnu, Suraj Singh, a paddy farmer from Bihar, is also taking a cautious step this Akshyay Tritiya.

Chaitali Chakravarty , ET Bureau
Gold jewellery retailers are ushering in Akshaya Tritiya by opening several stores to tap into consumers looking to buy gold in the auspicious festive occasion.

Gold sales surge on Akshaya Tritiya, especially in south India
May 2, 2014
Sutanuka Ghosal , ET Bureau
KOLKATA: Gold sales surged 10-20% thanks to the Akshaya Tritiya festival, which has been providing a boost to the precious metal trade since 2005. That was the year Smriti Irani, actor and now BJP leader, featured in the World Gold Council (WGC) campaign telling people that it was an auspicious occasion to purchase gold. Sales were strong especially in south India during the festival on Friday, although the price of 10 grams of gold has risen 12% to Rs 28,557 from a year ago. WGC said the spurt in demand augured well for sales in the rest of the year as sentiment had recovered after turning negative during last year's Dhanteras, also a major gold-buying festival.
Smart tips to choose the ideal home this Akshaya Tritiya
April 29, 2011
The property market in many locations sees increased activity during festivals like Akshaya Tritiya, which are believed to be auspicious for the creation of wealth and good fortune. The positive sentiment associated with such festivals often motivates fence-sitting buyers to take the plunge where they would otherwise have procrastinated further. Developers are well aware of this and seek to capitalise on these sentiments via increased marketing efforts. In that respect, festivals like Akshaya Tritiya can act as a powerful market force.
This Akshaya Tritiya buy gold in other forms

Time to sell gold this Akshaya Tritiya, buy around Diwali
May 4, 2011
In 1980, it was the Hunt brothers. In 1998, it was Warren Buffett. And in 2011? For those unversed in the history of silver market, those dates refer to market squeezes that caused massive surges in the metal's price. Silver prices shot up 24% in April 2011 alone, as retail investors rode on the coattails and pros moved en masse into silver futures and options pits. During the last 12 months, the price of silver has risen 154%, outpacing gold (32%)
Akshaya Tritiya: Does it make sense investing in gold?
April 24, 2012
Mayur Shetty & Prabhakar Sinha , TNN
MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: Reserve Bank of India governor D Subbarao has gone all out to discourage gold investments as record imports of the yellow metal are adding pressure to the rupee. Diehard equity fans criticize the absence of any intrinsic value in gold and its susceptibility to theft is a constant worry for its owners. After providing 25% annualized returns over the past five years, gold has depreciated 4% in recent months. Given this background does it make sense investing in gold ?
Akshaya Tritiya: Realtors and first-time buyers upbeat
May 5, 2011
MUMBAI: When Rishi Patil bought his first property in Mumbai a decade back, he followed the advice of his family astrologer and deliberately waited for seven months, to book the flat on the day of Akshay Tritiya. Looking back, his belief in the significance of shubh muhurats and Akshaya Tritiya (a day in which every single moment is considered auspicious), has only increased. After all, his property's valuation has appreciated beyond his belief. This year, Patil is looking to buy a second property and with Akshay Tritiya around, the question is, whether he will book the flat on Akshay Tritiya day. "Well, on a spiritual and emotional level, I would love to book the flat on Akshay Tritiya . However, the problem is that I am yet to finalise the property.

text: New York crane collapses, injures 7 construction workersBy Jason Kessler, CNNUpdated 4:44 PM ET, Thu January 10, 2013Story highlightsThree of the injuries were serious and four were minor, fire department saysCrane's owner was involved in 2008 collapse that killed two in ManhattanA crane collapse at a construction site in Queens, New York, Wednesday afternoon injured seven, according to city fire officials. All of the injured appear to be construction workers, Department of Buildings spokesman Tony Sclafani said. Three of the injuries were serious, and four were minor, according to Fire Department of New York spokeswoman Emily Rahimi. "Everyone's been accounted for," Rahimi said. The construction site, which is in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, will be a 25-story apartment building. Jolanta Thomassen, an employee at the United Nations who heard the collapse from her apartment, described a chaotic scene."There was a horrific noise. After the crane collapsed, people were screaming and running around," she said. New York Crane owns the collapsed crane, Sclafani said. The company also owned a crane that collapsed in 2008 on Manhattan's Upper East Side, killing two construction workers. New York Crane did not immediately respond to an e-mail from CNN.

A Video of Our Trip to California
A few weeks ago, nine of us got on a plane and travelled to California. We attended the always awesome Velocity Conference in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Today we have released a brand new Pingdom Android app. Like the iPhone app we released a short while ago, the Android app is completely reengineered from the ground up. With a new design and added functionality, the app puts more information about your website monitoring checks in your pocket. Whenever you receive an alert on your Android smartphone we want to help you get to what's wrong as quickly as possible, then allow you to dig deeper.
The new app is available today from the Play Store. It's of course free, so there's no reason why you shouldn't download it right away.

You have to look hard for a company that makes cooler software than Panic. At least if you're a Mac user, titles like Coda, Prompt, and Transmit should ring a bell.
Panic's latest app is Status Board. It turns your iPad into a highly customizable dashboard. There are many widgets that come with the app, including a clock, a calendar, email, Twitter, RSS, and more.
We've seen this before, but there's a twist: you can also make your own widgets for Status Board. Using the Do-It-Yourself widget we created a very simple example of how you can display the status of your Pingdom checks in your very own widget on your iPad.
Today Apple updated its WWDC page announcing that tickets to the annual developer event will go on sale tomorrow, April 25, at 10 a.m. PDT. If you had Pingdom monitoring enabled for Apple's page, you were likely among the first ones to know about this.
However, since Apple has apparently changed tactics this year, even if you monitored the page with our services, you may not necessarily be one of the first ones to get a ticket tomorrow.
All is not in vain, however. The same technique can be used for many other things.
In today's branded world, it is almost impossible to imagine a company that does not own the domain associated with their name or brand. But several of today's famous domains had a very different use before they were big.
For example, did you know that iCloud.com once was the personal homepage of a Japanese professor?
There is no denying that Android, Google's operating system for mobile devices, is big. For example, Android is the OS on 42% of all consumer compute devices.
We have scoured the web for data that will help us show exactly how big Android is in the smartphone world. And in every way we looked at it, Android is ginormous.
In the 30 years since the introduction of Lotus 1-2-3 very little seems to have happened when it comes to how spreadsheets look and work. When it launched on January 26, 1983, Lotus 1-2-3 was not the first spreadsheet; that title goes to VisiCalc. But since it became the killer app of the first IBM PC, it certainly ranks as one of the most important pieces of software ever. We connected with the developer of Lotus 1-2-3, Jonathan Sachs, to get his take on spreadsheets and the last three decades. Read on for the complete interview.
What kind of battery life do you demand from your laptop? Would you be fine with a few hours, or do you want a full workday out of one charge, or perhaps even more? This is a question facing many of us, and recently we at Pingdom spent some time thinking about it.
Remember netbooks, those underpowered but very small and inexpensive laptops? If ever anything came and went in a whirlwind, that's the example to we'd point to. Netbook sales are now a mere shadow of their former glory.
To some extent, netbooks were probably hampered by the wave of lightweight laptops that started appearing a couple of years ago. They weren't quite as small, but small enough, and much more powerful. What they weren't, however, was cheap. In that way they could not supersede the netbook.

In fact there is no way to prove that others exist, because you have never touched anybody and you have never seen anybody. When you see somebody, you don't see him really; all that happens is that a picture is seen inside your brain. It may correspond to some reality, it may not correspond. There is no way to know, because we cannot know reality directly.
Always it is through the senses that we know reality. Senses may be deceiving - and you know perfectly well that under the impact of alcohol they deceive; under the impact of psychedelics they deceive very much. One can act in a stupid way, in a suicidal way, under the impact of some psychedelic.
One woman in New York took LSD and thought that she could fly. And when you are under the impact of LSD you simply believe it, it is so. It is not a question of a dream or a desire or a fantasy; it is so real, it is more real than the world outside, than the objective world. She simply flew out of the window from the ninth floor, dashed on the ground, died. This type of accident has been happening all over the world.
The existence of the other, the existence of the outside world, is not absolutely certain. Berkeley still remains un-refuted, there is no way to refute him. The only thing that is absolutely certain is your own existence. The dream may be false, but the dreamer cannot be. Even for the false dream to exist there is a need of a real dreamer to be deceived, at least somebody is needed to be deceived.
The world may be illusion, but who is an illusion? At least some consciousness is needed, absolutely needed, categorically needed; without some consciousness the illusion cannot exist. The rope may not be the snake, the snake may be the illusion. But the person who has the illusion is not an illusion himself.
This has to be remembered, that "I am real." This has to be remembered, that "I am the only certain reality," - everything else may be, may not be."
We never look inwards for this absolute reality; and we go on living a life without basing it on this rock of certainty. Hence our lives are just castles in the air, or at the most, sandcastles - signatures made on water; you have not even completed it, and the signature is gone. Our lives are like that: one moment we are here, another moment we are gone, and that moment could have been used for self-remembering.
Only people who use their life for self-remembering are using this great opportunity.
A man runs into an old friend who has become a drunkard. "But why do you drink so much?" he asks him.
"To forget," the drunkard replies.
"To forget what?" asks his friend.
"Oh," says the drunkard, scratching his head, "I forgot."
A man goes to the psychoanalyst. "Doctor," he says, "you have to help me. I have a terrible problem: I forget everything, absolutely everything."

Shakespeare's rarely performed Timon of Athens comes to the Players' Ring in a modern and ambitious production. Read more
Shakespeare's rarely performed Timon of Athens comes to the Players' Ring in a modern and ambitious production.
About this project
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
– Aristotle
Summary: Timon is the very picture of generosity and good will, but by giving to the ungrateful senators and merchants of Athens, she seals her own fate. Driven to madness by their inevitable ingratitude and cast into the wilderness, Timon slowly resigns herself to death. However, her friendship with an equally wronged and avenging general is the only thing that can save the city, calling the senators of Athens back to her even as she wastes away in exile…
Drawing on timely themes of inequality and greed, Timon of Athens presents the story of a time and people out of balance. This show is the crowning production of the Players' Ring's 20th Mainstage Season. Don't miss it.
WARNING: This production of Timon of Athens contains violence, nudity, and a sequence involving strobe light effects.
No one under the age of 18 will be admitted without parental consent. If you have photosensitive epilepsy or are otherwise affected by strobe lights, please do not attend this production without making special arrangements with the theater beforehand.
The director has a huge vision for this production. In
addition to the costume, set, and props budget, we are using extensive sound engineering, fight choreography, and special effects to enhance the audience's experience.
The main reason that these elements have been brought in are deeply tied to the story itself and the structure of the play. The play begins with a lavish party and as the events of the story progress, more and more of Timon's world is pulled away from her until she is alone in the woods, where the play slows to a more philosophical mood. In order to enhance this and bring it to a visceral level for the audience, all these elements have been brought in to create a sort of sensory overload as the play progresses until the calm of the woods comes as a pleasant retreat.
Lastly, it is important for us to state that money is not being asked for simply to be thrown around - each aspect is as compact and as efficient as possible. The Players' Ring is a modest nonprofit focused on producing original or unusual works for the public viewing at affordable prices. In this spirit, we are asking for only what we need and no more. Two major sets, including a mansion and a forest, will dominate the playing time and will be the center of that budget. Costuming for the show is extensive considering the number of characters (40+ with a cast of 13), but we are working from modern palettes that allow frugal shortcuts. However, there is only so much that we can cut corners and still retain the quality that we demand of this production. As such, we hope that you will assist us in bringing this ambitious vision of a rarely performed play to life, knowing that every dollar will be spent wisely. Every little bit counts and if you do contribute, we hope to see you at the show itself, where you will find your name in our program!
Performance dates:
Friday, June 1st - 8:00 PM Saturday, June 2nd - 8:00 PM Sunday, June 3rd - 7:00 PM
Friday, June 8th - 8:00 PM Saturday, June 9th -8:00 PM Sunday, June 10th - 7:00 PM

Title: | Observer-based controller synthesis for model-based fuzzy systems via linear matrix inequalities |
Author: | Abdallah, Chaouki T.; Jadbabaie, Ali; Titli, Andre; Jamshidi, Mohammed |
Subject: | Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems LMI observer separation property |
Abstract: | In this chapter, we extend some recent results regarding the stability of continuous-time and discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems to the case where the system's states are not available for measurement. We introduce the notion of a fuzzy observer, and show that the separation of closed-loop observer/controller holds. In other words, we show that the observer and controller design problems can be formulated as two separate LMI feasibility problems. Finally, we present a numerical example to show the effectiveness of our approach and discuss some future research directions. |

Chapel Royal Dublin Castle
Dublin Castle Dame Street , Dublin 2
Founded in 1279, the Chapel Royal was designed by Francis Johnston in 1807 but was dispossessed of during the Reformation in 1539.
The Carmelite community was re-established in 1825, though not on the exact spot of the original foundation. The Chapel Royal is noted for its plasterwork, oak carvings and the limestone heads which were carved by Edward Smyth and his son, John Smyth.
The coat-of-arms of all the Viceroys or Lord Lieutenants who were the King or Queen of England's representative in Ireland are emblazoned on the wooden galleries and when these were full they were painted onto the church windows.
Amazingly, the coat-of -arms of the last Viceroy, before the castle was handed over to the Irish Free State in 1922, occupies the final available window space.
Also found in this church are the relics of St Valentine which were given as a gift to the Church by the Holy See.
The Church is one of the largest in Dublin, and houses one of the finest organs in the country

Foundry TriQuint buys chip designer – the start of a trend?
TriQuint Semiconductor has announced the acquisition of one of its foundry customers, TriAccess Technologies. Could this be the start of a trend?
I have written in this blog about how the semiconductor market will look in a post-recession world. One aspect of this is how online services will change the way components are sourced.

You're making too much of this. It simply is an end market Tqnt wants to be in themselves and now can enter easily without misgivings: They already have confidence in the working relationship with TriAccess, and TriAccess was already partially in-house. How could a more sure acquisition be made?
