I've sent out a few offer to the league. Anyone on my roster is fair game but I am not looking to add depth, I have a lot of it, and so I am not looking to deal one of my guys away for two inbound players.
I've sent out a few offer to the league. Anyone on my roster is fair game but I am not looking to add depth, I have a lot of it, and so I am not looking to deal one of my guys away for two inbound players.
Alright, so I missed the draft and I don't like my team much at all. I doubt I'll be keeping any of my defensive players. Does the 3 acquisitions per week count before the season starts? I'll be looking for my new players on Wednesday when the waiver period is over.
I will remove the acquisition cap prior to the season. It will be back in effect for week 1. You guys who didn't make it to the draft need a break. There is lots of interesting options on the wire.
One thing, the WW budget is in effect now so be careful not to blow that before the season even begins. Once guys clear waivers you don't need to bid and so you won't eat into your WW budget.
On a side note, I sent you a trade offer. Feel free to counter if we're in the same ball park.
Why is it I'm alway the first person to pull the trigger on a trade? This one looks good for both of us JBML. You get defensive upgrades you really needed and I get a nice trading chip... Now I just need to worry about my IDP bench and hope no one goes down.
Didn't get a chance to get on early this morning so I missed out on a couple guys I wanted, dammit! Oh well, I think I might be fine. I've got a middle of the pack team for season one right now. I'm gonna need to start hitting up some trades though to get some players I actually LIKE!
It also looks as though we do have $100 WW money for the season. I thought it was changed to $30?
I have a trade going through on Friday and I had a player in mind for the empy roster spot. Too late, you got him.
Anyway, I sent you an offer. I'm hoping you will like it but let me know.
Who all missed the draft anyways? I know Drizz did, he hasn't even made a move yet... He's usually up to date with his moves for the most part. jbml missed as well?
Yeah just you three. It's a tough way to start the league but the bench size is nice so a recovery can be doable even If auto pick fails you. I noticed Drizz has not been active yet. I hope that changes because I had to let someone go who actually wants to be in this league...
About that WW budget... it looks as though jbml has spent $31 already, so I'm assuming we get to use the whole $100?

A method of providing a balanced demodular output for a signal such as a Doppler radar having an analog pulsed input; includes adding a variable phase shift as a function of time to the input signal, applying the phase shifted input signal to a demodulator; and generating a baseband signal from the input signal. The baseband signal is low-pass filtered and converted to a digital output signal. By removing the variable phase shift from the digital output signal, a complex data output is formed that is representative of the output of a balanced demodulator.

(Not Applicable)
In modern coherent sensor systems such as radar and sonar, it is advantageous to represent the received signal as complex numbers. Complex signals are conventionally derived by separating real signals into in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components; a representation that is conducive to efficient digital signal processing. This technique is known as quadrature demodulation.
Typically, an intermediate frequency (IF) signal is split and mixed with coherent I and Q reference sources given by 2 cos ωt and −2 sin ωt, respectively. After mixing, the products are low pass filtered to retain the difference frequency terms. As a result, the signal is split into I and Q terms which ideally combine to provide a complex output Y(t)=I(t)+jQ(t)=A(t)�ejΘ(t).
This ideal signal is obtained only if the gains of the I and Q. paths are equal and if the phase difference between channels is 90�. If the ideal signal is not attained, the resulting data is corrupted, ultimately producing ghosts and other undesirable artifacts in a radar image.
Practically, balancing of the I and Q channels is difficult to achieve and maintain, especially considering the wide bandwidths and high frequencies of modern high-performance radar systems. Existing techniques fall into one of two broad categories:
The first category attempts to measure the imbalance, and then correct the data accordingly. These techniques either have a limited capability to mitigate any but the simplest of phase and/or amplitude errors, or they impose a significant processing load on the system. (An imaging radar, such as a synthetic aperture radar (SAR), imposes a tremendous data processing requirement on a system even in the ideal situation. A requirement for additional processing of large SAR signals does not result in rapid image acquisition, and may be prohibitive in many applications.)
F. Churchill et al., �The Correction of I and Q Errors in a Coherent Processor�, IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Vol. AES-17-1, January 1981, pp. 131-137, discusses one of the first of such techniques. They used a test signal to determine the amount of correction to be applied to the channels. However, such a system is not dynamic in that the system can change as it operates, and this change would only be detected by degrading performance. Otherwise, to prevent this, periodic recalibration periods would need to be incorporated within the normal operation of such a system, resulting in missed data collection opportunities.
Another system using a test signal is discussed by N. Halwani et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,315,620, which aims to avoid the need for high data sampling rates. The quadrature phase error is detected using a test signal and an error signal is generated. The received I and Q signals are applied to a correction network, along with the error signal, to minimize quadrature phase error between the I and Q signals.
The second category attempts to generate I and Q data using only a single analog to digital converter (ADC). These systems either require excessive video bandwidth (by a factor or two or more), or they suffer a need for excessive power (by a factor of two or more).
K. Ho et al., �A Digital Quadrature Demodulation System�, IEEE Transactions of Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Vol. 32, No. 4, October 1996, pp. 1218-1227, discloses an I-Q, demodulator based on low pass filtering of the input samples. They show that with a sampling frequency at least equal to 2B, the I components are the decimated input samples with appropriate sign changes and the Q samples are the low pass filter output of a frequency shifted input sequence. A finite impulse response low pass filter minimizes computation. A sampling scheme is also provided that downconverts without IF mixing.
The video-frequency offset technique involves using a single channel to process digital I and Q data in one channel. FIG. 1 shows a prior art system 2 where the received radar signal XIF(t)=cos(ωIFt+Φ(t)) is mixed in mixer 4 with a local oscillator signal of cos((ωIF−πfs/2)t) down to a frequency fs/4, passed through a low pass filter 5 to limit the signal to IF bandwidth BIF, and sampled in analog to digital converter (ADC) 6 at rate fs, where fs≧2BIF. The samples are then digitally mixed in mixer 7 to their final form with a digital local oscillator (DLO) signal of exp{−jnπ/2}, which provides a repetitive input to mixer 7 of 1, −j, −1,j.
One problem with this scheme is that it requires fs≧2BIF, whereas separate IVQ channels and ADCs require only that fs≧BIF. (In a typical radar for which this circuit may be used, BIF may range from several MHz to several hundreds of MHz, where an additional factor of two for the ADC sampling frequency might be particularly problematic.) Consequently, this circuit requires more expensive ADCs and accompanying digitial circuits, which may not even be available, or must contend with the performance limits of a lesser IF bandwidth.
FIG. 2A shows the IF signal location in the 2-sided frequency domain at the input of filter 5 for the circuit of FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2B, at the output of filter 5, the real-valued signal is symmetric about DC. FIG. 2C shows the output signal after mixing with the DLO. This signal can be digitally filtered and decimated, if desired, to the equivalent of conventional I/Q channel data.
According to this invention, the spectrums of the desired balanced signals are separated from the error imbalance signals in a manner similar to the second category, but two ADCs are used to avoid the shortcomings denoted above.
To achieve the foregoing and other objects, and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the present invention may comprise a method of providing a balanced demodular output comprising providing an analog pulsed input; adding a variable phase shift as a function of time to the input signal, applying the phase shifted input signal to a demodulator; generating a baseband signal from the input signal and low-pass filtering the result; converting the baseband signal to a digital output signal; and removing the variable phase shift from the digital output signal to form a complex data output representative of the output of a balanced demodulator.
Additional objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following description or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained as particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of the specification, illustrate an embodiment of the present invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a prior art circuit for video-frequency offset phase-history collection.
FIGS. 2A-2C show a signal at various locations on the circuit of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a doppler offset phase-history collection circuit.
FIGS. 4A-4C show phase-history plots for the circuit of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 shows a phase modulated I/Q demodulator of the invention.
The prior art circuit of FIG. 1 maintained a video-frequency separation between the signal and its image-signal prior to ADC sampling. A similar circuit can be utilized to maintain Doppler frequency separation prior to sampling, as shown in FIG. 3. A Doppler signal is one which may embody a pulse to pulse phase shift. A Doppler frequency spectrum is a collection of such signals.
The operation of this circuit of this invention is based on the determination that if a Doppler frequency spectrum is modified by a pulse to pulse rolling phase shift which is cancelled at the output of the circuit, then the imbalance errors are separated from the input Doppler spectrum, allowing the imbalance errors to be cancelled.
The circuit 10 of FIG. 3 would typically be used to process a Doppler signal of the form X(t)=cos[ω(t)+Φ(t)], where Φ(t) represents a phase shift that has been applied to the signal, and may vary over time. In a typical radar, Φ(t) originates with a chirp where each transmitted pulse varies in frequency over a predermitted range in a manner well known in the art, which signal is subsequently received and processed. This signal is typical of the signal received by a modern radar such as a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and mixed down to intermediate frequency ωIF in a manner well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In a typical prior art system, this signal would be processed in a syncronous quadrature demodulator to yield I/Q outputs, which outputs would be as accurate as the balance between channels in the demodulator, as discussed above.
In accordance with a first embodiment of this invention, the IF input signal of FIG. 3 also includes a pulse-to-pulse rolling phase shift of jkπ/2 radians, so the input signal to mixer 14 is XIF(t,k)=cos(ωIFt+Φ(t,k)+kπ/2), where k is the pulse index (an integer that is incremented by 1 with each pulse) and the pulses occur at a frequency fp, the frequency at which the signal pulses were transmitted. Doppler frequency, for practical purposes, is the pulse-to-pulse phase change, and hence can be modeled as the derivative of the phase with respect to k. For each four counts of k, the input function is incremented by a phase shift of 0, 90�, 180�, and 270�. On the fifth count, the phase shift is back to 0.
This rolling phase shift is easily generated by a direct digital synthesizer such as disclosed in copending Ser. No. 09/238,762, filed Jan. 28, 1999, by Peter Dudley and Bertice Tise, still pending and assigned to the assignee of this invention. This phase shift may be applied to the transmitted pulse, or to any of the local oscillators that are conventionally mixed with the received signal to bring it down to the intermediate frequency that is input into the demodulator of FIG. 3.
After being mixed with cos(ωIFt) at mixer 14 and fed through low pass filter 15 (with a cutoff of BIF/2), the signal of FIG. 3 may be described as:
The positive video-frequencies have a positive Doppler shift, but the negative video-frequencies have a negative Doppler shift. This signal can be sampled at the reduced rate of fs≧BIF.
FIGS. 4A-4C shows the signal spectrums from the circuit of FIG. 3 in the 2-Dimensional phase-history plane, where the horizontal axis shows Doppler frequency and the vertical axis shows carrier frequency. In FIG. 4A, the signal at the input to the mixer 14 is centered at fIF and the Doppler is centered at fp/4. FIG. 4B shows the signal at baseband after passing through LPF 15, and FIG. 4C shows that the desired signal has been shifted to the center point by the digital Doppler shift from mixer 17, while the undesired image shifted to −fp/2 can be removed by digital filtering of the data, or as part of a typically subsequent transform via digital filtering of the data after the digital Doppler shift.
Analysis of the circuit of FIG. 3 shows that the digital Doppler shift is accomplished by pulse-to-pulse multiplication with the sequence exp{−jkπ/2}=1,−j,−1, j, . . . This signal is the complement of the phase shift that was applied to the input signal to the circuit 10 of FIG. 3, and serves to cancel, on a pulse-by-pulse basis, the input phase shift. That is, an input pulse that was shifted 90� is shifted by −j at the output; an input pulse that was shifted 180� is shifted by −1, and an input pulse that was shifted 270� is shifted by +j. It also implies that every other radar pulse is purely I-channel with the in-between pulses being purely Q-channel. The single ADC alternates between I and Q on a pulse-to-pulse basis. For each of the I- and Q-channel pulse trains, every other pulse has its data negated, which is easily compensated for with programmable logic or other digital circuitry.
Whereas the circuit of FIG. 1 requires twice the ADC sampling frequency to maintain separation of the desired spectral region from its image, the circuit of FIG. 3 requires twice the pulse rate frequency (or azimuth sampling rate) to maintain separation. That is, the PRF must satisfy fp≧2BDoppler, the Doppler bandwidth of the IF signal. However, the ADC sampling frequency, fs, is half that required for the other circuit.
The Doppler offset technique requires two pulses to gather data to make an I/Q data pair, whereas the video-frequency offset technique requires only one pulse; therefore, the Doppler technique has a 3 dB signal-noise-ratio disadvantage compared to the video technique.
Both of these techniques also offer unwanted spectral components centered at their respective fold-over frequencies. With enough separation they can be filtered, after which the data can be decimated into their respective dimensions. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of this invention that uses the same input signal, XIF(t,k)=cos(ωIFt+Φ(t,k)+kπ/2), to the quadrature demodulator as the embodiment of FIG. 3, discussed previously.
This signal is input to each of mixers 24, 34 where the I/Q channels are formed. In particular, XIF(t,k) is mixed with 2 cos(ωIFt) in mixer 24 and with −2 sin(ωIFt) (the result of shifting 2 cos(ωIFt) by 90� in phase shifter 32) in mixer 34. These components are standard RF hardware, and quadrature mixers comprising the phase shifter 32 and mixers 24 and 34 are commonly available in a single package.
After passing through low pass filters 25, 35 with a cutoff of BIF/2 to remove unwanted mixing products, the signal at point i1 is described by Xi
Since, in reality, even the best systems have some imbalance, these will be modeled by a transfer function Hi(t) in the I channel and a function Hq(t) in the Q channel. For the purpose of analysis, the imbalances are split between these transfer functions such that at the respective outputs of these transfer functions, the signals take on the form:
where the error terms aε and θε are typically small and video-frequency dependent.
Each of these analog signals is now converted to a digital form by one of AID converters 26 and 28 in a manner well known in this art. Each of ADC 26, 28 is sampled in a conventional fashion with a sampling function, taking samples at times described by
where n is a fast-time sample number and fs is the sample frequency. The digital output of ADC 28 is at this point merely data and is declared the imaginary component, thereby effectively causing it to be shifted 90� as represented by block 30. The outputs of ADCs 26, 28 are appropriately added, and the sampled signal at point y0 is:
which equation may be manipulated to
which yields
For small error terms, this last equation may be approximated as
This signal is fed through mixer 27 for modulation by a complementary signal, i.e., a pulse-dependant corrective signal with opposite phase than that was applied to XIF. This constitutes a digital Doppler shift, yielding:
The term exp{jΦ(n,k)} is the desired �error-free� term, while the 2nd and 3rd are the result of I/Q imbalance. If these terms are removed, the I and Q channels are �balanced.�
Since each of lines 2 and 3 in the equation for Y1 are modulated by exp{−jkπ}, these error terms are centered at Doppler frequency fp/2, as were the unwanted spectral components for Doppler offset phase-history collection of FIGS. 3 and 4. Therefore, for a large enough pulse rate frequency fp≧2BDoppler), the �imbalance� is separated in Doppler frequency from the desired signal, and can therefore be filtered.
Unlike the previous embodiment, each radar pulse contributes both I-channel and Q-channel data. Consequently; there is no 3 dB SNR penalty as there was in the circuit of FIG. 3. In addition, ADC sampling frequency must satisfy fs≧BIF, only half the value needed in the video frequency embodiment of FIG. 1.
The mixing operation to provide the complementary output phase shift and thereby remove the rolling phase shift in the data comprises multiplication of appropriate values from 1,−j,−1,j, and may be accomplished by appropriately trading of, and sign changes to, the initially generated I and Q data. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that this phase shift may be implemented in the ADC board or elsewhere.
The particular sizes and equipment discussed above are cited merely to illustrate a particular embodiment of this invention. It is contemplated that the use of the invention may involve components having different sizes and shapes as long as the principle, that applying controlled phase shifts to the signal prior to I/Q demodulation, followed by corresponding removal of the phase shifts in the data after the ADCs, in an effort to separate in Doppler the balanced signals from imbalance errors between the I and Q channels, is followed. For example, other phase shift functions besides the particular rolling phase shift discussed might be employed to the same advantage, as long as the input phase shift has enough variation in phase to cause the system to operate, and the output phase shift mirrors and cancels the input phase shift. And while the input signal, XIF, is denoted as an intermediate frequency signal of a digital radar receiver, the invention is applicable to any pulsed signal that may be derived as a summation of sinusoids. Furthermore, one of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that this technique is �linear�, that is, the property of superposition holds for input signals and output signals. Consequently, a scaled input signal would yield a like scaled output signal, and a sum of input signals would yield an output signal that is the sum of output signals if the inputs were applied individually. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the claims appended hereto.

snow in summer yellowing at base
thehammer1985June 19, 2013
Last summer I had gotten 4 snow in summers to place by the side of my house inbetween the house and driveway. I loved the slvery foliage and its fira t blooming season was amazing. However after blooming the base foligage is looking yellow and it is moee of a fallen down mat than the spiky growing foliage than before. I was wondering if more foliage will grow where it has fell over and exposed the yellow bottoms or if pruning is suggest.

Overall lovely hotel, with a few quirks.Posted Mar 7, 2015
Pros: Well-decorated and maintained. Comfortable bedding. Great location in NF-NY. Pleasant staff. Viewing lounge on top floor was fun -- good photo ops.
Cons: See above...
This place is almost 5/5, and I would stay there again, but there were a few issues: 1) Room was too cold (in Feb) and the thermostat control didn't seem to do much to improve the situation. 2) The bathroom was REALLY cold and had no independent heating (except a useless heat lamp). 3) The 'complementary' box of chocolates was empty. When I called down, I was told this would be replaced. It never was. 4) They ran out of food at the breakfast buffet. It was moderately busy and they needed more than one staff member. 5) Horrible coffee.

Great Stay - A Definite Recommendation!Posted Nov 18, 2014 on Hotels.com
I had a great experience here. The hotel is kept very clean, and the room was amazing. They supply you with incredibly comfortable robes, and the rooms are so cozy. The breakfast in the morning was very good for a hotel breakfast. There were a lot of choices, the food was warm, and it was open for a good amount of time. The staff was always very kind and helpful. The complimentary valet parking made the stay extra easy. I also walked to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, and the walk is not bad at all, and it made it extremely easy to cross the border without having to worry about a car. The hotel also has a 19th floor viewing room for all guests that is a must do! I would recommend staying here to anyone!

I stayed in the hotel less than 13 hours and left with the most bitter taste in my mouth. Please trust me and choose one of the very nearby hotels at less than half the price. You will thank me. Also, They say they are the closest hotel to the falls. This is absolutely not true.

Character property well locatedPosted Sep 15, 2014
Arrived at 1pm but room was not available - rather inexperienced staff member tried to be helpful! Property is located very close to Falls and access to Goat Island - all easily walkable. Room eventually provided about 3pm - tasteful, fully renovated and excellent character although rather small. Lounge and breakfast room are also excellent. However, restaurant is not open for dinner which is a disappointment given the price of the property and the excellent facilities. Overall a very good stay - staff were helpful and this is a far better option than the ubiquitous chain properties in the area. Very nicely renovated/converted property in good location - would return.

Had a very nice stay at this hotel. I would recommend this hotel to a friend. Very nice staff and the breakfast was very good.

IRVINGTON, N.Y. -- Former Irvington resident Joan Lunden announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer on her website on Tuesday.
The former ABC-TV "Good Morning America" host said she decided to share the news publicly because she had spent her life "sharing my joys and my disappointments with all of you: my pregnancies, my relationships, my career. … I have shared my journey. So it certainly didn't feel right keeping this part of my journey a secret."
Lunden, who now lives in Greenwich, Conn., also said she has already begun chemotherapy and hopes to inspire others to be more aware of their health.

Fragments of Grey Matter is a collection of images shot by artist Kristin Man over a period of two years.
Featuring imagery that straddle between the absolute and abstract, she attempts to find beauty and meaning in between. The book title reflects the concept on two levels: a reference to cerebral grey matter, suggesting the emotional nature of her images, and the vacillation between concrete and abstract, beauty and not-so.
A deliberately thick cover was constructed as a visual and material reference to the human head.

Raiffeisen CEO quits over offshore deals
VIENNA (Reuters) – Raiffeisen Bank International (RBIV.VI: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) Chief Executive Herbert Stepic resigned on Friday in what he called an effort to spare his bank from negative publicity over personal property deals that triggered scrutiny by the lender and regulators.
Stepic, 66, again denied wrongdoing in using front companies in the Caribbean and Asia to buy flats in Singapore in 2006 and 2008 – deals exposed by the Offshore Leaks investigative journalism project – but said he decided to quit out of loyalty to Raiffeisen.
Raiffeisen CEO offers to quit as offshore deals probed
VIENNA, May 24 (Reuters) – Raiffeisen Bank International's
Chief Executive Herbert Stepic offered to resign after
authorities said they would investigate personal offshore
property deals he made.
Stepic, 66, was named as having made use of front companies
in the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists'
Offshore Leaks project, a campaign to expose the owners of
trusts in tax havens. He has denied wrongdoing.
Austria misses EU deadline to sell Kommunalkredit
VIENNA, May 16 (Reuters) – Austria's Kommunalkredit
could still be sold and does not need to be wound
down, the country's market watchdog said on Thursday after
Vienna missed an EU privatisation deadline for the lender.
The sale of Kommunalkredit, a public-sector finance
specialist nationalised in 2008, was required under the terms of
Austria's bailout. Its failure adds to the country's problems
with the European Commission, which is already questioning state
aid to another Austrian bank.
OMV says higher profits help its investment plans
VIENNA, May 14 (Reuters) – Austrian energy group OMV
reported higher-than-expected profit and cash flow for
the first quarter after downstream activities reversed a
year-ago loss, and said this would help it pursue its ambitious
investment programme.
OMV is switching focus from refining and selling oil and gas
to higher-risk but higher-reward exploration and production, and
plans a hike in investments this year. It is exploring what may
be its biggest ever gas find, in the Black Sea.
Telekom Austria raises cost savings target
VIENNA (Reuters) – Telekom Austria (TELA.VI: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) plans to save over 110 million euros ($144 million) in costs this year, more than its previous target of 100 million, as price wars rage despite market consolidation in Austria, its chief executive said on Wednesday.
The company reported a drop in earnings late on Tuesday that was less steep than the market had feared but said it expected price competition to intensify.
Telekom Austria fights price wars with fewer rivals
VIENNA, May 7 (Reuters) – Telekom Austria said it
expected price competition to intensify in its major markets,
rather than diminish as had been hoped by Austrian carriers
after a consolidation of the market.
Until last year, Austria had four mobile carriers fighting
over a population of just 8.4 million. That was cut to three
with Hutchison Whampoa's takeover of Orange Austria
in January, but price pressure has not relented.
Strabag slashes dividend after profit collapse
VIENNA, April 30 (Reuters) – Austrian construction group
Strabag chopped its 2012 dividend by two thirds and
said a profit collapse was due to its own mistakes as well as
austerity measures hurting the sector.
Central and eastern Europe's biggest builder by market share
reported its first drop in operating profit in 27 years after
taking hits for uncollected payments, participation in
loss-making projects and over-ambitious acquisitions.
Austria paves way for EU bank secrecy talks
VIENNA, April 26 (Reuters) – Austria dropped its blockade of
European Union efforts to negotiate accords cracking down on
cross-border tax cheats, unveiling on Friday proposals that
would allow scrutiny of foreigners' accounts while keeping bank
secrecy for Austrians.
After weeks of political wrangling, leaders of the two
coalition parties laid out joint priorities for talks with EU
partners starting next week that could pave the way for deals
with countries like Switzerland and the United States.
Austria struggles for unity before EU tax talks
VIENNA (Reuters) – Domestic politics are bedevilling Austria's efforts to forge a unified stance on easing banking secrecy just days before initial talks with European Union partners on how to crack down on cross-border tax cheats.
Austria is the only one of the EU's 27 states yet to agree to routinely share data on bank accounts held by foreigners, after Luxembourg bowed to pressure this month to end decades of banking secrecy that helped make it a major financial center.
Analysis: Centuries-old Vienna bourse seeks lifeline in Warsaw
VIENNA/WARSAW (Reuters) – The venerable Vienna Stock Exchange swallowed centuries of national pride this month to enter into talks that could lead to a merger with its upstart rival in Warsaw.
Vienna, the central capital market of the Habsburg Empire in the eighteenth century and later gateway to central and eastern Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain, has been usurped by the Warsaw exchange GPW.WA, with its friendly regulation and privatisations, as the main arena for investing in the region.

FLORHAM PARK, NJ - MAY 02: Head coach Rex Ryan of the New York Jets speaks to the media during minicamp on May 2, 2009 at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan apparently skipped out of the team's final cut-down day activities Saturday to make a trip to South Carolina and watch his son Seth suit up for the Clemson Tigers in their college football season opener. Rex Ryan at the game Saturday pic.twitter.com/JKmL8rOkh3— Cole Pickard (@ochoSWAMBO) September 2, 2013 On a day when NFL head coaches are usually involved in critical personnel moves and saying goodbye to players, Rex was enjoying pregame tailgate parties and posing for pictures. Got to talk to ol Rex Ryan at the Clemson game! pic.twitter.com/OyHP2Npo05— Josh Sutton (@tiger3josh) September 1, 2013 Rex's son Seth is a freshman walk-on wide receiver for Clemson and was active for the game, but did not play. In effect, Rex stepped away from the Jets on a day when critical roster decisions were being made so that he could watch his son stand on the sidelines for the entire game. Given the fact that Ryan is already on the hot seat and considered a lame duck coach by most people, it was a curious decision. Ryan allegedly was in constant contact with Jets GM John Idzik throughout the day, keeping tabs on the personnel decisions being made. However, this move will have some questioning not only Rex's commitment to the Jets, but how much his influence has diminished within the front office. H/T NYDN.

Sunday Night on Virtually Speaking Digby and I talked about the Leonard Nimoy's passing and how fiction and fictional characters can shape people's attitudes. (podcast link here.)
Today some friends who work in the world of politics were discussing House of Cards. Some loved it, some hated it. I don't really move in those specific circles so before the discussion I wanted to know, "Is it realistic?" A professional musician friend asked,
Does anyone really expect a TV show about politics to be a more realistic representation of that life and that process than the Monkees represented a life of trying to make it as a young band in theirs?
This seems like such an obvious point I realized that I was NOT asking the question that the producers and writers of the show were asking themselves, which is, "Is it entertaining?"
Last night I watched a movie called "Harmontown" about the creator of Community, Dan Harmon. He talked about his deep desire to entertain people. He craved the satisfaction he got knowing his writing made people laugh, smile or feel better.
I watch a lot of fiction on tv. I also read a lot of fiction. I . . . → Read More: Asking if House of Cards is Realistic Is the Wrong Question.
These days I'm like Mr. Spock in the dark, parallel universe of Star Trek. I see our leadership going down the wrong path regarding the use of war and torture. It's an illogical, fear-based path, and it's presented as the only alternative.
Therefore I've come up with some fun, easy steps to change that.
In our country fear rules people and acquiring resources has trumped all ethical considerations. The power structure and media viewpoint has rejected non-violent solutions as weak and ineffective. The discussion of other solutions are mocked, marginalized and the proponents cast as naive or terrorists lovers.
In the Mirror Mirror universe Captain Kirk challenged the waste of lives, potential, resources and time of an Empire that ruled by fear and violence.
The goateed Mr. Spock could see the illogic of that Empire but says, "One man cannot summon the future." Kirk replies, "But one man can change the present."
There are powerful groups and people who support war and torture. They are smart, organized, well-funded and know how to use strategic propaganda and specific appeals to ego, power and corporate monetary gain to get what they want.

On the most beautiful sunny day of the year in San Francisco I took a train to the East Bay then walked up a hill into a windowless room to listen to five experts talk about torture. This was my idea of a good time, and possibly the reason I'm a laugh riot at parties.
It was a symposium titled:
Torture, Security, and Law The Senate intelligence committee report The involvement of psychologists and lawyers Holding ourselves accountability
It was held at Boalt Hall at UC Berkeley School of Law which is the current home of distinguished scholar John Yoo.
I went to hear the progress of bringing accountability to the people who encouraged, legalized and normalized torture in America. I was also hoping for a path to accountability for those who tortured.
I was very disappointed
I was not alone in my feeling. The panel members expressed their own disappointment with their progress. ACLU lawyer Jameel Jaffer talked about his problems getting documents out of the government or getting the voices of the people tortured to be heard by the public. He was fighting to get images of their torture seen but keeps getting blocked.
What was especially frustrating was hearing . . . → Read More: Torture Supporters have Better PR and Marketing People
Yesterday Digby mentioned that Chris Matthews was hungering for some war action.
Obama pushing for an Authorized Use of Military Force agreement to go after ISIS might make Matthews happy, but I wonder whom he and the other news/talk opinion shows will book to talk about other alternatives?
Media Matters just put out an extensive report about The State of Sunday Morning Political Talk Shows. The results won't surprise you. White men dominate. While I haven't gone through the entire report, the other theme that I'm seeing is a pro-war bias of guests.
One of my friends in the radio biz talked about pro-AUMF guests being pushed at her. I asked, "Are you also getting anti-war guests pushed and promoted to you?" She wasn't.
I've pointed out this issue before many times, not all experts are created equal. Not all messages have a well-funded team pushing them. I've asked in several forums. "Who are the anti-war go to guests? Why aren't they in the conversations? What will it take to get them in the conversations?"

Breaking: From NBC News president Deborah Turness
We have decided today to suspend Brian Williams as Managing Editor and Anchor of NBC Nightly News for six months. The suspension will be without pay and is effective immediately. Link to memo here
This is an important step and I want to point out the reasons that they say they did it.
As Managing Editor and Anchor of Nightly News, Brian has a responsibility to be truthful and to uphold the high standards of the news division at all times.
Note how he is called a "Managing Editor?" That's the kind of title you give a journalist. He's not the "top content creator and anchor." This is about their view of how a journalist working for them should act.
NBC has now gone on record that a responsibility to be truthful is part of the job description for anchors. Turness has said this in print, so its got the support of powerful people behind her.
Now compare to Fox News, a company they won a case in Florida that ruled they didn't have to legally tell the truth. Yet Fox News still gets get all the rights and privileges of a "press entity" (a . . . → Read More: NBC's News Brand Includes a Responsibility to be Truthful
After Neil Armstrong's death his widow, Carol, discovered a white, cloth bag in a closet, containing flight and space related artifacts.
The curator of the Apollo collection at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum determined the items were lunar surface equipment carried in Apollo 11's Lunar Module Eagle. The bag they were in was nicknamed a McDivitt Purse, named that way in honor of Apollo 9 Commander Jim McDivitt.
Of special note is the 16mm movie camera with its 10mm lens.
The camera was mounted behind the right forward window of the lunar module and was used to film the final phase of the descent to the lunar surface, the landing, as well as Neil Armstrong's and Buzz Aldrin's activities on the lunar surface including taking the first samples of lunar soil and planting the US flag.
–NASA Lunar Surface Journal
The items are now at the National Air and Space Museum for preservation, research and eventual public display. The are classified as a loan from the Neil Armstrong family because of a law passed in 2012 that grants certain U.S. astronauts "full ownership rights" to their space artifacts.
The law states that America's early space pioneers and moon voyagers . . . → Read More: What Was In the Purse Neil Armstrong's Widow Found in Their Closet?
Wednesday Travis J. Tritten at Stars and Stripes did an exclusive story about Brian William's actual experience while in a helicopter in Iraq in 2003 vs. the narrative that he either helped create or failed to correct in the subsequent years.
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams admitted Wednesday he was not aboard a helicopter hit and forced down by RPG fire during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a false claim that has been repeated by the network for years.
The quick twitter take is to call Williams a liar, say he should be fired and bring up his daughter in Peter Pan and Girls for some bizarre reason.
That's fun for one news cycle, but I wondered, "What can we learn from this story and how can we use it for change?"
My first step was to tweet to @Travis_Tritten to thank him and his sources, whom I will call Narrative Busters because Myth Busters is taken. (I don't want to call them Whistleblowers because we know what happens to them.)
UPDATE: By Emily Smith and Kenneth Garger at Murdoch's money losing NYPost ran this last night: Tom Brokaw wants Brian Williams fired quoting an unnamed source at NBC.
"Brokaw wants Williams' head on a platter," an NBC . . . → Read More: UPDATED Williams Iraq War "Mistake" Led to Praise and Profit
So I'm reading year-end news wrap-ups and I'm thinking, "I want to see some of these sick bastards get their comeuppance next year!"
I'm tired of reading these phrases, "Nobody was fired for…" "Nobody has been prosecuted for…" or "None of the perpetrators are in jail for…" and of course, "Technically it was legal."
Who do you want to see get their comeuppance? Are you doing anything now to make that happen? If it happens, would you be satisfied, or would you want more? I didn't say justice, but comeuppance. (I like the word, I used to challenge a friend of mine to use it, which was hard since he wrote mostly about CAD/CAM products.)
In 2015 I want to see photos of perp-walks and hear about sentences that fit the crimes. I want to read about a high-level person going to jail because his abused underlings rolled on him and the prosecutor needed a bigger fish to fry. I want to read stories about the people and systems that weren't subverted with the right amount of lying, lawyering, lobbying and lucre.
I also crave the old-timey ripple effect of justice. When justice is carried out, it is supposed to change . . . → Read More: Who Should Get Their Comeuppance in 2015? How Will You Make It So?

Neiman Marcus hit the skids hard due to the recession. November 2009 store sales were down 12.7 percent over the previous year. The company cut jobs, trimmed inventories, and experienced heavy losses -- but the brand has yet to stray from its original mantra. "We have no intention of changing our business model or trading down," chief executive Burt Tansky told Wall Street analysts on a conference call last month. "It's important to reiterate that we will continue to offer our customers the luxury and designer merchandise that they want to buy and, in fact, some of our best-selling merchandise is at the upper end of our price ranges." That course of action will keep the brand relevant to the Wall Street Bankers with busting wallets. "I expect watches, high-end men's suits, fur coats, things like that" to see a bonus boost, Joseph Foudy, a clinical assistant professor of economics at New York University's Stern School of Business, told WWD. "Families are going to reward themselves once the money is in the bank. The partial restoration of many affluent families' net worth, given the stock market recovery in '09, will lead to bigger spending at the Bloomingdale's and Nordstroms of the world." Men will flock to Neiman Marcus (and already have, with December 2009 sales up 4.9%, partly on men's clothing) with bonus bucks because the brand represents an intense aura of prestige. It was originally launched in 1907 to present the best clothes money could buy to rich Texas oil men.
The brands are tried and true, with Armani, Gucci, Versace and D&G, representing the finest Italian threads at their best. The founders of Neiman Marcus built an empire on luxury, hosting art exhibitions at stores and weekly fashion shows in the 1950s, and releasing the extravagant Christmas catalog in 1960. People are longing to embrace luxury again and this is a brand that offers style, fashion and service -- even at malls -- for recession-weary shoppers.

Power plants that use natural gas and a new technology to squeeze more energy from the fuel release far less of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide than coal-fired power plants do

Earth's Atmosphere -- Earth's atmosphere consists of nitrogen (78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), with small amounts of argon (0.9%), carbon dioxide (variable, but around 0.035%), water vapor, and other gases.

Terraforming -- Terraforming (literally, "Earth-shaping") is the process of modifying a planet, moon or other body to a more habitable atmosphere, temperature or ecology.

Ohio State pulls electric off food, animal waste biogas
By DOUG GRAVES
Ohio Correspondent
WOOSTER, Ohio — Anyone with doubts about biogas and contributions from this relatively new renewable energy source should just take a glance at what those at The Ohio State University's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) are doing.
They are taking animal fat, rotten produce, bad soda, manure and other agricultural and food-processing wastes to meet close to one-third of the 12 megawatt-hour annual electricity needs of its main campus. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, this biogas (or renewable natural gas) is equivalent to 3.6 MWh of green energy, enough to power 313 average U.S. homes.
Many U.S. colleges and universities are turning to renewable energy sources to meet all or some of their power needs, as part of a growing trend that also involves the implementation of additional sustainability initiatives such as construction of "green" buildings and comprehensive campus recycling. "Our setup is very different because we have a private company located on campus that we partner with, and which produces the biogas, converts it to electricity and sells it to us," said John Ott, head of OARDC's Facilities Services. "Most other schools run their own power-generation facilities, whether solar, wind, geothermal, biomass or biogas."
Some universities in Ohio and other states use solar and wind technology to reach alternative energy goals. The OARDC campus employs anaerobic digestion technology, turning a variety of organic wastes such as rotten vegetables, animal fat, animal waste and more into biogas. The biogas is then converted into electricity. At the heart of this process is a 550,000-gallon anaerobic digester built by quasar energy group, a Cleveland-based company. This digester can process 30,000 wet tons of biomass annually. This helps keep such refuse out of landfills and incinerators.
Those at OARDC are happy to report 74 percent of the electricity generated by the Wooster digester is sold to OARDC.
"Our ideal goal is for this campus to become carbon-neutral," said OARDC Associate Director David Benfield. "To do that, we need an energy source that goes through the carbon cycle, which anaerobic digestion does. In the future, we would like to purchase additional energy from quasar to reach 50 percent biogas-derived electricity use." He added OARDC's power-purchase agreement with quasar makes environmental and financial sense. "We are seeing 3 percent in savings compared to what we would pay to the electrical supplier," Benfield said.
In addition to electricity, OARDC has modified some vehicles in its fleet to run on compressed natural gas, which is also supplied by quasar and is significantly cheaper and less polluting than gasoline. For the past few years, OARDC has been using trucks that run partly on biodiesel, to transport feed to its outlying agricultural research stations across the state.

Storied Cities: Literary Imaginings of Florence, Venice, and Rome
The fabled cities of Italy--Florence, Venice, and Rome--have each acquired a distinctive tradition of literary representation involving characteristic, recurrent motifs and symbolic signatures. A wealth of writing on each is examined in fiction and poetry of nineteenth and twentieth-century authors. The analysis points to Florence frequently being depicted in terms of binary oppositions, such as past versus present, stasis versus movement, and light versus darkness. Venetian narratives commonly are infused with motifs relating to dream and unreality, obsession, voyeurism, isolation, melancholia, and death. History, combined with the motif of change, is a controlling metaphor for Roman fiction and poetry. In a wider theoretical framework, this writing is analyzed for the light shed on the issue of the significance of setting in literature.

Osborne's statement knocks desperate Labour for six
George Osborne has made as convincing a case for a majority Conservative government at the next election as anyone who lives in the real world could expect. Hopeless Ed Miliband made an even better case for a Tory government. Or shall we go back to debt, bankruptcy and recession?- 3 December 2014
Labour starts to panic, and rightly so
Sheer panic has gripped Labour, as their almost incomprehensibly daft electoral "strategy" suggests. Let's indeed hope that Miliband continues to be as incompetent as an electoral strategist as he was as a minister- 30 November 2014

UK economy set to boom in time for 2015 election

Britain's basic requirements for a new relationship with the EU
Of the main parties in Parliament, only the Tories are at all serious about dramatically changing the UK's relationship with the EU. And here are some thoughts on what could be changed, says John Redwood MP- 19 December 2013
The poverty of modern politics: Reprising Miliband
Labour has morphed from a workers' party into a lifestyle choice welfare party. But Labour governments always run out of money. Miliband's would too- 26 September 2013
Polls still suggest Conservative-UKIP pact key for 2015
The UK media is obsessed with the decline of Labour, but the polls show there is little chance of a Tory government without a pact with UKIP in 2015- 6 August 2013
What is Labour for?
Miliband's proposed break with the unions is a truly seismic shift. It will be the ultimate admission of the left that Thatcher has achieved her final great victory- 10 July 2013
Labour advises MPs to avoid Westminster
The Labour Party is asking its Members of Parliament to stay away from their jobs in order to fluster Conservative plans for an EU referendum- 13 June 2013

Ed Balls may be on the receiving end of a Labour Party thrashing soon, and that may well be a calculated move by Miliband and friends- 3 June 2013
"Resign or commit suicide" says Labour leader
The leader of the Labour group on the county council has sparked outrage after saying a Tory councillor should 'resign or commit suicide'- 30 May 2013
