The present invention relates to synchronizing signals between multiple devices and more specifically to synchronizing signals using spread spectrum techniques.
Systems that include multiple electronic devices, such as the centrally controlled multiple digital-to-analog converter (DAC) system as shown in
In the prior art system shown in
The present invention is a system and method for synchronizing a signal between multiple devices that are electrically connected, such as through a wire line connection, and share a common high frequency input clock. The invention is useful in, but is not limited to, the synchronization of digital systems that have different input and output data rates, and include state machines. Such systems include interpolation filters with digital up-conversion, and decimation filters with digital down-conversion. In such systems, a lower frequency clock is derived from a high frequency input clock. Multiple state machines may need to be synchronized by loading the same state variable at the same time instant. Both goals can be achieved by the proposed invention. Once the data signal is phase synchronized, the signal might be used, for example, to communicate state-variable and time base information to allow state machines in a system to synchronize. In an embodiment of the present invention, a master device provides a state-variable signal that is modulated with a pseudo-noise (PN) code. The PN code includes a number of pseudo-random bits that are sampled at a rate greater than that of the state-variable signal. By using a PN code that has a single-peak auto -correlation function, the state-variable signal can be recovered even if there are errors in the signal caused by jitter or sampling noise.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a method for generating a data signal for synchronizing electrically coupled digital receivers is disclosed. A data signal, such as packaged state variables which contain a header and the state variables itself, having a data rate, and a pseudo-noise (PN) code having a single-peak auto-correlation function and a data rate greater than the data rate of the data signal, are received by a modulator circuit. The modulator circuit modulates the data signal with the PN code into a combined signal, which is communicated to one or more digital receivers.
The digital receivers demodulate the combined signal using the same PN code used in generating the combined signal, and then compare a correlation value generated from demodulating the data signal to a predetermined value. If the comparison indicates that the receiver is not phase synchronized with the transmitter, an-out-of-synchronization signal is generated. In an out-of-sync condition, the receiver can attempt to recover synchronization by repeatedly shifting the PN code, demodulating the modulated data signal with the shifted PN code, generating a correlation value, and comparing the correlation value with the predetermined value until the comparison indicates synchronization. If all shifted versions of the PN code are used and the comparisons all indicate out-of-synchronization, an error signal is generated. The predetermined values can be defined such that the comparison will indicate synchronization even if there is a transmission error during one or more periods of the PN signal.
The foregoing features of the invention will be more readily understood by reference to the following detailed description, taken with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The present invention as embodied in the figures and detailed description discloses a system and method for synchronizing multiple state machines that are electrically connected through a wire line connection and share the same clock. Such a system might include multiple variable-data-rate state machines where the input and output data rates are different. A master device provides a data signal, such as a state variable signal, that is modulated with a PN code. The PN code includes a number of pseudo-random bits that are sampled at a rate greater than that of the state variable signal. By using a PN code, such as a Barker code, that has an auto-correlation function having a single peak, such as a delta function, the synchronization signal can be recovered even if there are errors caused by jitter or sampling noise.
Modulator 228 transmits the combined signal to receiving device 224 over wire line connection 220. A demodulator/correlator module 232 receives and demodulates the combined signal and produces a correlation value by applying the same PN code 230 to the combined signal as was used during the modulation process. Controller 238 is electrically connected to the system clock and clocks reading and writing of the PN and state variable signal bits in receivers 224. The resulting correlation value is provided to a comparator sub -circuit which compares the correlation value of the signal to a threshold value. If the correlation value is within defined threshold values, the data signal is phase synchronized and the data signal is recovered. The recovered state variable signal is provided to a serial-to -parellel data module 234 for distribution to, for example, the state machine associated with receiving device 224. Serial data module 234 and controller 238 may be integrated together and referred to as decoder 235. The state variable signal can be used, for example, to synchronize all state machines associated with receiving devices 224 in the system.
As shown in
It should be understood that the threshold values can be changed to allow for additional bits of error. For example, if the threshold is set to +/−2, two bit errors can occur and the data signal can still be recovered. However, the lower the threshold, the more the system becomes susceptible to errors. For example, as illustrated above, threshold values of +/−4 will allow for a single bit error, and threshold values of +/−2 will allow for a two bit-errors, and the system will still output the correct data value. In the worst cases, though, threshold values of +/−4 will also pass a data value in which all seven PN bits or six of the PN bits are in error. However, the data value passed will be incorrect. Similarly, if the threshold values are reduced to +/−2, a transmitted data value that contains five PN bit errors will also result in an incorrect data value being passed. If the system is not susceptible to noise or jitter errors, then the PN bit errors will typically be related to out-of-sync conditions where demodulator/correlator circuit 232 is comparing a received signal incorporating PN code 230 with a version of the PN code that has been shifted by one or more bits. In these cases, due to inherent properties of the Barker code used for this embodiment of PN code 230, no more than four bit errors can occur, and the output correlation value of accumulator 420 does not exceed +/−1. This is illustrated in
When the accumulator 420 output is in the unknown range (for example between −4 and 4 as shown in
If the above methodology is employed, the receiving device can recover from some jitter or noise errors without producing a false state-variable signal and additionally, the receiving device can confirm that it is in phase sync with the transmitting device because the accumulator output is greater than or less than the threshold values.
The system works in the following manner. A data signal is provided to a master transmitter 610. The data signal can simply be a synchronization signal or may include additional information. For example, the data signal may be a parallel state-variable signal from master state-machine 720 which contains all information needed to synchronize multiple digital devices such as slave state machines 730. Master transmitter 610 serializes the input data in a parallel-to-serial data module 630 and temporarily stores the data in a series of registers. Master transmitter 610 includes a controller 640 that receives the clock signal 650 for the system and sends a signal to the serial data module 630 that provides a data bit to the modulator 660 at some ratio of the clock signal. Serial data module 620 and controller 640 may be integrated together and referred to as encoder 642. The data bit is modulated with a PN code 700 that is sampled at a rate that is greater than the clock rate for the data bits. Thus, there are a number of PN code bits for each data bit. The modulated signal is output and transmitted over a bus 710 to a plurality of receiving devices 620. For a CMOS system, 710 is simply an output connected to multiple inputs. However, for LVDS system, a splitter or distributor is needed. The receiving devices each include a demodulator and correlator 670. The demodulator and correlator 670 may comprise circuitry as shown above with respect to
The data bits are provided to a serial-to-parallel data module 680 that includes memory for storing the data bits. Serial-to-parallel data module 680 is provided with a control signal from a controller 690 which causes each bit to be clocked into memory, and transferred from the serial data module to a data output. Serial data module 680 and controller 690 may be integrated together and referred to as encoder 692. The data may then be processed in any number of ways. For example, the data bits may provide state information, such as state machine synchronization data, to a slave state-machine 730 associated with receiving device 620.
The present methodology is especially beneficial in systems that require synchronized data transmissions at high speeds wherein the sampling rate is so fast that jitter and sampling noise can effect the data signal on a wire line.
Although various exemplary embodiments of the invention have been disclosed, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made which will achieve some of the advantages of the invention without departing from the true scope of the invention. For example, while the present embodiment discloses using a 7-bit Barker code, other PN codes can be used. These other codes might include, but are not limited to, other Barker codes, Walsh-Hadamard codes, m-sequences, Gold-codes and Kasami-codes. While the present embodiment describes a system where the transmitting and receiving devices are state machines having integrated demodulation-modulation-correlation components, the modulation and correlation components associated with phase synchronization can be discrete from the digital components that process the phase synchronized data signal. These and other obvious modifications are intended to be covered by the appended claims.

The last week or so has been a great one for finding free things here in Atlanta. First, we had a Gardenweb plant trade and everyone went home with loads of beautiful plants and useful garden items.
Then, a tree-trimming company came through my neighborhood trimming branches away from the power lines, and I was able to get four huge truckloads of fresh mulch, which is steaming right now in a field behind my house.
And I discovered a demolition site on my way home from work, where I can get free as many used bricks as I can use.
I think maybe I've died and gone to heaven. . .
You did hit the jackpot and here I thought I had hit the jackpot today.
Earlier this week, I read on another site on the garden forum, about using old waterbed heaters for heat mats, so I put out an APB for some and have secured two plus the one I found in the basement. Hopefully the other half and daughters will come through with one or two from co-workers.
Have a GREAT day and hope your luck continues.
Last weekend, I bought a nice cornecopia at a yard sale for 50 cents. Yesterday, on my way to volunteer at the cat garden, I took a different route than usual, and lo and behold, there was a stand along the side of the road, loaded with all sorts of gourds and a FREE sign. Well, woo hoo! I used some of the larger guords for decoration outside and filled the cornecopia with the smaller gourds. Presto! Cheap, nice decorating that will last through Thanksgiving!

22-30. (canceled)
This application is related to Provisional Application 6/375,038 filed Apr. 22, 2002 entitled Apparatus for Controlling the Environment of a Parked Vehicle which is now pending.
Long haul truckers frequently spend the night in the cabs of their trucks. In fact, many trucks are designed with sleeping areas. This necessitates environmental control and specifically heating and cooling. In order to provide this heating or cooling, the truck drivers generally leave the trucks running overnight to utilize the truck's heating or air conditioning system. The cumulative pollution created by these vehicles running overnight is very significant.
Further, although such trucks are in a position to receive radio signals, they are frequently located in positions where television signals are unavailable or weak and certainly no telephone connections are available to the truck itself.
Providing these services to a parked truck involves overcoming many practical and physical problems. Payment for these services is a concern as well as physically fitting the equipment needed to provide these services in a small space is problematic. Protecting this equipment from the environment is also a concern.
Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for controlling the inside environment of a vehicle such as a truck, RV or other vehicle. More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to not only provide heating and air conditioning but other conveniences such as electricity, phone hookups, computer hookups, videos such as for continuing education instruction or entertainment and a variety of related services, providing such services within a limited access space, i.e., through the window of a truck or a small access door. Further, additional services may be provided for the vehicle, including the ability to watch television, the ability to communicate and even the ability to pay for the services. These additional services may be delivered through wires or with a wireless system.
Further, the present invention protects the equipment from the environment.
The objects and advantages of the present invention will be further appreciated in light of the following detailed description and drawings in which:
As shown in
The head 18 as shown in
Head 18 includes a body portion 32 and a cover 34 which closes and seals the face 36 of the body portion 32. These are attached by a hinge 31 which preferably can be adjusted to vary the tension. As shown in
As shown in
Outer wall 66 has a lower stepped annular portion 94 which is covered by gasket 44. An annular screen 98 is positioned to cover the area 102 between the inner conduit 72 and the inner wall 64 of the inner housing. Area 102 is the return air flow passage for the system as indicated by arrow 101.
Abutting the gasket 44 is the upper edge 104 of the outer housing 42. The outer housing 32 includes circular wall 106 which forms a conduit. Inside the conduit 106 of the lower housing is a lesser diameter conduit 107 which attaches to the inner circular wall 72 of the upper housing.
Extended from the conduit 106 is an annular extension 108 which leads to the outermost or exterior wall portion 112 having edge 104. This provides an annular passage 114 which communicates with the inner passage 68 of the inner housing 38. The outer housing 42 further includes first and second handle receiving members 116, 118 which each include semi-circular arcuate channels 122, 124. The ring shaped handle 41 is held within this groove by brackets 48 and 52, each of which have handle recessive grooves 126, 128.
Extending up from the handle are first and second prongs 129, 130. Each prong includes an outwardly extended tab 132, 134 and an inwardly extended tab 136, 138. The first prong 129 further includes a planar arcuate member 140 perpendicular to and welded to the inside surface of the prong 129.
The first handle receiving member 116 further supports first and second spring biased switches 142, 144. The first and second spring biased switches include first and second flag-shaped probe members 146, 148. (See
The probe 148 of the second spring biased switch 144 has an extended portion 162 and an enlarged portion 164. The enlarged portion 164 has a slot 166. Slot 166 will allow enlarged portion 164 to ride on the arcuate plate member 140 when the switch is in a compressed state. When enlarged portion 164 is aligned with the slot 156 in the arcuate plate 140, i.e., when the probe 148 moves in the direction of arrow 150, the enlarged portion moves into slot 156 stopping further rotation of the handle 46.
When assembled, the prongs 129, 130 extend upwardly through the outer housing into the inner housing with the tabs 132 and 134 extending through slots 172, 174 in the outer wall of the inner housing. Tabs 136 and 138 in turn extend through slots 176, 178 in the inner wall of the inner housing near its upper edge 180. These prongs latch and unlatch the cover 34 and prevent the unit from being removed when the cover 34 is open as is explained below.
The first handle cover 48 includes three electrical connections which are adapted to receive three separate sets of wires. The first set of wires connect through fitting 54 and are low voltage wiring such as telephone connections, ethernet connections, television or radio antenna for cable. The second and third set attach via fitting 56, 58 and provide high voltage electric. The electrical wires would run through the bracket 48 around the handle 41 into the annular passage 114 in the lower housing through the inner passage of the upper housing to the central shroud.
The head connects to the HVAC unit utilizing a coaxial flexible duct 22. The outer wall 120 of the coaxial duct attaches to the exterior surface 122 of the large conduit 106 of the outer housing. The inner conduit 123 is attached to the lesser diameter conduit 107 which itself is attached to the inner housing. The ratio of the cross-sectional inner conduit to the outer conduit should be about 1 to about 3.
The head 18 includes the cover 34 which is attached by hinge 120 to the upper housing 38. The head 18 is attached to the window of a vehicle using a template or adapter 126 as shown in
The opening 128 through the adapter 126 includes upper and lower cut out portions 132, 134 adapted to permit tabs 132 and 134 to pass through the adaptor. When this occurs, the first spring biased switch 142 is compressed by the adapter, forcing the first probe 146 below the arcuate plate 140 permitting the handle to rotate. Rotation of the handle will cause the tabs 132, 134 to rotate out of alignment with cut out portions 133, 135 where they engage the adaptor holding it in position. The upper tabs rotate in slots 176 and 178 within the inner wall of the inner housing moving out of engagement with latch members 166 and 168 in the cover permitting the cover to open.
Rotating handle 41 will align the slot in arcuate member 140 with the enlarged portion of probe 148. As the cover opens, the probe 148 of the second spring biased switch moves in the direction of arrow 150. At this point, the enlarged portion of the second probe 148 rests in the slot 156 in the arcuate plate 140 member preventing further rotation. This prevents the head from being separated from the adaptor if the cover is opened. This protects the head from the environment.
Likewise to remove the head from the template, the cover must first be closed which will compress spring switch 144 allowing the handle to rotate which will hold the cover in a closed position as the head is removed from the template.
The cover includes a variety of different features including a USB-port 182, a connector 184 for the truck computer, a credit card reader 186, a touch pad display screen 188 and a plurality of different dedicated buttons or switches used to control the unit and to activate various features of the unit.
The controls on the cover activate and control the functioning of the unit. Head 18 has a central processing unit (not shown) which can be programmed to function as desired and to provide all desired Internet communication and functions. Although the particular configuration of the head can vary dramatically depending upon the desired functions, the device as shown has a variety of beneficial features.
For example, it includes a touch switch 190 which turns the screen light on and off so that the head can remain open during the night without illuminating the cab. It further includes an adjacent LED 191 which will help the occupant locate the light on/off switch in the dark. There is also a dedicated help button 194 which can initiate step by step procedures for the functioning of the head. There is also a menu button which basically takes one to the top level of the menu. A dedicated thermostat button 196 activates the screen to show the temperature and provide for increasing or decreasing the temperature within the cab as well as activating or deactivating the fan. Also switches 198 to active the web browser, messaging systems, catalog-type shopping, and the like can be included. Finally a checkout button can also be provided. Spring switch 144 can also act as a check out switch. Thus when the head is removed from the template, the unit is deactivated and the customer is billed.
Further, the connection 184 for the truck's onboard computer permits communication between the truck's computer and a central diagnostic unit via the Internet or through telephone lines.
The window adapter can be positioned into the window of the truck by simply lowering the window, placing the adapter in position and raising the window until it is held tight by the upper pressure of the window against the template. This is preferably done before the ventilation head is attached to the adapter. The ventilation head would then be placed in the opening in the adapter. Since the adapter rests against the gasket, a relatively air tight seal is formed.
The present invention includes many different optional features which improve the overall function of the present invention. As shown in
The electrical lines connect to a central switching unit. The electricity to the head particularly the 11 OV is only activated or provided once the unit is installed and activated (generally using a credit card). This would obviously prevent theft of electricity as well as providing an added safety feature. The unit also shows a 220 v. outlet 208 designed to run the reefer unit of a trailer. This also would be activated via the head unit.
Further, when the unit itself is disconnected and the head closed, air can be recirculated through the inner tube and return through the outer tube recirculating air within the hose to maintain flexibility in extremely cold temperatures. It would also potentially prevent introducing very cold air into the cab of a truck initially. This can be activated either locally or through a central server.
As shown in
The present invention has been described with respect to a separate head unit which is permanently attached to an HVAC unit. It is also within the scope of the present invention to permanently mount the head within the truck such as through a side wall and simply connect the head to the HVAC unit at the truck stop. Thus, the air handling hoses and electrical connections would simply plug into a permanently attached unit on the truck. Once the connections were made, the truck driver could then activate the HVAC unit and other options such as Internet connection, electricity to the reefer unit in the same manner as described with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Further, with respect to all communication systems, the present invention has been described wherein the communication lines are hard wired into the head. Obviously this can be conducted using wireless communications if desired.
This has been a description of the present invention along with the preferred method of practicing the invention. However, the invention itself should only be defined by the appended claims wherein we claim:

Celebrate the team bond
A clinic that joined our group about seven years ago hosted a huge annual end-of-heartworm-season celebration for its employees. The owner felt this was a good way to show his appreciation and thank the staff for the long, hard summer of work. How could we take this away from the team when he sold us the practice? We didn't. Instead, we tweaked it.
We opted for an end-of-summer staff appreciation party. We've thrown a lot of different types of appreciation events—picnics, half-day boat cruises, bowling, and most recently, a nice lunch for each of our hospital teams. If you're close with a sales rep or two, invite them along. Who knows, he or she might help sponsor part of the event.
Lunches or dinners are great because they're intimate and give your team bonding time outside of the practice. At our gatherings I tell the story of how we started the appreciation event. We go around the table and share what we appreciate about the hospital and each other. And often tears are shed.I thank the team for the great care they give our patients and clients. As an absentee owner, the fact that I sleep well at night and don't worry about our hospitals is something I appreciate and want them to know.

There's something sort of adorable about a thriller premised on the delusional analysis of utter randomness, and I salute its makers for extending this helter-skelter desperation to everything in the movie—plot, character, logic, continuity, production design, cinematography. If nothing else, they're consistently arbitrary.
The plot is beyond complicated, but it basically comes down to this: Omigod, 23! Omigod, 23!! OMIGOD, 23!!! Yet, for all its relentless number-crunching, this is really a movie about storytelling, and stories within stories, and stories within flashbacks within fantasies within madness—all of it unloaded with the help of exposition so preposterously contrived it borders on parody. Director Joel Schumacher appears to take things very seriously, but there's a sense that screenwriter Fernley Phillips is winking up from the page and having a bit of fun with the idea that deranged paranoia is a form of authorship and vice versa, each being motivated by an impulse to pattern-making, a compulsion to arrange connections that don't naturally exist.
Carrey stars as Walter Sparrow, mild-mannered factotum of the local animal control office. From the look of things, he appears to have a muskrat living on his head, but crisis of coif notwithstanding, his immediate concern is a runaway dog growling in the alley of a Chinese take-out joint. Any veterinarian—or veteran of corny supernatural thrillers—could identify the breed as Benevolent Totem crossed with Guardian of the Dead, but Walter remains oblivious even as the pooch leads him to a gravestone and sits patiently with a Meaningful Stare.
In any event, the dog detour makes him late for a date with his wife, Agatha (Virginia Madsen), who's passed the time at a bookshop flipping through the ratty red covers of The Number 23. Encouraged perhaps by the hilariously blatant red color scheme of the movie she's in, Agatha purchases the mysterious, self-published tome for her hubby. "Have some writer fill my head with nonsense?" he says. "I'll wait for the movie." Ha! Ends up the book is, like, the story of Walter's life and everything! Cue a cut-rate film noir, which Walter imagines as he peruses the text, starring himself as a hard-boiled detective with an uncanny resemblance to Gaius Baltar from Battlestar Galactica and his wife as a femme fatale with a less-than-magnificent ability to navigate in stilettos.
This interior film is like its shell, but with an added bonus. It's Omigod, 23! + killing. That's how The Number 23 goes from being a film about diabolical literature and hysterical numerology to a murder mystery that has something to do with a certain Dr. Sirius Leary. But seriously, could this film please be a little more off its rocker? A word of warning to fans of Dreamcatcher, Silent Hill and Domino—guilty pleasures with a similar devotion to throwing themselves off the cliff of credibility—The Number 23 is a lot more fun to write about than sit through. That said, cultists will note that this review is appearing in the Dallas Observer, a publication with 14 letters to its name. 1 + 4 = 5, and 5 = 2 + 3. Omigod!

DSCC Wins: Labor Unions Pony Up, "You Know, Financially" for 2010 Races
|By: Michael Whitney Thursday July 8, 2010 5:40 pm
In the wake of Blanche Lincoln's surprise victory in the runoff election for the Democratic nomination of Arkansas' Senate seat, top officials in the White House and Senate derided labor unions as "absolute idiots," and "Washington special interests" who "flushed $10 million down the toilet" for supporting challenger Bill Halter. DSCC Chair Bob Menendez even had the gall to say he expects labor's "support, you know, financially" in "all of our races across the country."
It seems Menendez will get his wish. Sam Stein reports that labor unions plan to step up – you know, financially – for Democratic candidates across the country in 2010 to help stem the tide of a massive influx of corporate cash this cycle.
Former SEIU Boss Stern Proposes Partial Investment of Social Security Trust Fund in Stock Market
|By: David Dayen Thursday July 1, 2010 9:00 am
The market has been extremely volatile of late. An investment 10 years ago would have yielded almost no gains, and would have absorbed a giant loss in 2008. Too much of the stock market these days is ruled not by efficient capital flows, but high-frequency trading and other forms of gambling, none of which will be ameliorated by the financial reform bill. Putting 10-15% of the trust fund into that casino could result in lower returns or even losses from the safe investments in which it's currently exposed.
SEIU Drafting Former Kissell Staffer to Run Against Him in General Election
|By: David Dayen Friday June 11, 2010 6:45 am
When SEIU hatched this idea to start a third party in North Carolina, I was skeptical of their chances at success. Turns out I was right about that – it was too daunting a task to up and start a party in a couple of months, in time to qualify for the November ballot. However, SEIU didn't quit with their plans at accountability for Democrats they feel betrayed them, and as a result, they are seeking to qualify a third-party candidate to run against Larry Kissell in NC-08.
Mary Kay Henry Takes the Helm of SEIU

Audio: New SEIU Radio Ad in Arkansas Challenges Obama's Ad for Lincoln
|By: Michael Whitney Thursday May 6, 2010 1:30 pm
On Tuesday a radio ad hit the airwaves in Arkansas, featuring Barack Obama encouraging voters to support Blanche Lincoln in the Democratic Senate primary later this month. SEIU, which is supporting Lincoln challenger Bill Halter, cut their own ad to directly challenge Obama. You can hear the ad exclusively at Firedoglake.
Obama: "I'm a Pro-Union Guy"… and Here Are Some Union Stereotypes

President Obama makes a bold statement to audience members at a town hall in Iowa yesterday. "I am a pro-union guy," said Obama to a union member woman who asked how Obama would "continue to support" union members. Wow…except that he launched into a knee-jerk defense of baseless union stereotypes.
What Happened to the Employee Free Choice Act?
|By: Jane Hamsher Tuesday April 13, 2010 3:46 pm
The fate of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) over the course of the past year and a half has been largely determined by the White House. Rahm Emanuel would not let it come up for a vote until after health care was passed, and by that time the Democrats no longer had 60 votes in the Senate. But its evolution is also intimately tied to the electoral prospects of Harry Reid and Arlen Specter, and unless you understand one, you can't understand the other.
SEIU's Andy Stern to Step Down
|By: Michael Whitney Tuesday April 13, 2010 6:00 am
Ben Smith dropped a bombshell this evening with his report that SEIU President Andy Stern will resign. Stern, president of one of the country's biggest unions since 1996, reportedly plans to resign before the end of his term in 2012. So what's really going on here?
Wake Me When SEIU's "North Carolina First Party" Runs a Candidate
|By: David Dayen Friday April 9, 2010 6:40 am
Larry Kissell, one of the three North Carolina Dems who voted No on health care, has a primary challenger in Nancy Shakir, and this might be somewhere the NC First Party wants to go. But the primary is, um, next month, and right now NC First is in the "talking" and "figuring out what it wants to do" stage of development. It is virtually impossible for it to be a factor in the 2010 midterms.

Saluting Star Wars on its 35th (!) birthday. How do you plan to celebrate?
19-Aug-2008 at the Forbidden City, Beijing
A few quick shots of Shanghai's Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), a very nice, if somewhat small, space on the edge of the city's sprawling People's Park.
Established in 2005 to help draw even more attention to contemporary Chinese art, my visit coincided with a show entitled Squares of Rome. It was a good exhibit, consisting primarily of photography, giving me the idea to try something similar in Ljubljana. I was however, hoping for something a little bit more Chinese.
Here are a few more shots, and a few more are here.

Mark McMorris earns double gold
A day after winning Big Air, Mark McMorris gets the gold in Snowboard Slopestyle
Originally Published: January 28, 2012By Colin Bane | XGames.com
Canadian phenom Mark McMorris, 18, went 2-for-2 at Winter X Games 2012 after winning Snowboard Big Air gold on Friday and beating out Sage Kotsenburg and Peetu Piiroinen for the gold in Men's Snowboard Slopestyle on Saturday. In last year's Winter X 15, McMorris took silver in Slopestyle as a rookie; in his sophomore appearance this year he seemed unstoppable.
"Those riders up there are some of my really good friends," McMorris said, after sealing up the win under the lights at Buttermilk ...

Publishers Weekly
According to Gill (Nightingales), the age that has been labeled Victorian was, in its origins, Albertian. Prince Albert was the chaste scion of a family of ambitious, debt-ridden, sexually corrupt misogynists, and his holy war of moral strictness made him appear straitlaced, judgmental and sanctimonious. In marrying Victoria, says Gill, Albert planned to take the reins of British power, though parliamentary rules didn't allow him to be king. Gill paints a portrait of this marriage as a "work in progress," in which the balance of power shifted continually between queen and consort, but Victoria's repeated pregnancies caused a dramatic shift in Albert's favor: he joined her meetings with ministers, and met or corresponded with the most powerful men in England and abroad. His great accomplishment was keeping Great Britain out of the American Civil War; he also served a stint as chancellor of Cambridge, bringing the university into the modern world. Despite their constant battle for dominance, Victoria was always madly in love while Albert was pleased to be adored. A lively, perceptive, impressively researched biography of what Gill terms "a forerunner of today's power couple." 16 pages of color illus.; b&w illus. throughout.

In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
The Founding Fathers were aware that politicians in the New Republic would at some point only protect their own interest. In the Constitution they placed Article 5 Part II. This allows for a Federalist block of Stateism. The States were given the right to over ride Federal controls. The old sick aged lawyers who rarely know what day it is rule as the Supreme Court. They are violating the Constitution. The two political parties have blended it will be up to the Governors to save the Democracy.
I think TLukers "Don't screw with people that have guns" is pretty spot-on. Wether it was right, wrong, etc., is another discussion.

From the Publisher"The key features and strengths are the breadth and scope of this text at the introductory level. With excellent diagrams, guest essays, case studies, policy analysis, and key electronic refererences, there really is not another text of this scope." Dr. Timothy Link, Department of Forest Resources, University of Idaho
"The holistic approach towards water combined with ecological principles is a definite strength." Dr. Alan D. Steinman, Director, Annis Water Resources Institute, Grand Valley State University
"The book diverges from many other books. It has a more applied focus and will have an audience in environmental studies and resource management programs." Jules Blais, University of Ottawa
"The volume presents its topics as dynamic problems, with complex and intertwining relations and interactions that may not have easy solutions. This approach makes for thought-provoking reading and gives the reader the understanding of the complexity of the issues involved. The book provides even coverage of the various topics, with a visible effort to include examples and discussions of areas outside of the U.S. and in the less developed countries of the world. The book's strongest point is its effort to include a wide variety of examples and discussions without bias. The Index and the Table of Contents are both well done and each chapter is followed by a reference list. … I would recommend it for a text for an introductory or distribution credit college course." - Journal of the American Water Resources Association, October 2010
"The authors' core goal for this book is to emphasize the need not just to learn facts but also to recognize interactions and consequences and to analyze what the results might be in a variety of circumstances.

By Kelly Wilkinson
