Hi: 10° Lo:5°
By Steve Carpenter Monday 07 January 2013 Updated: 07/01 17:30
CANADIAN forward Derek Campbell is looking forward to wearing a Coventry shirt again after re-joining Blaze this week.
The 32-year-old was part of the Blaze team which won the Elite League title back in 2010 before going on to win complete the same achievement the following season with Sheffield Steelers.
Campbell, who has also played for Manchester Phoenix, Newcastle Vipers and Hull Stingrays, began this season with Sheffield Steeldogs in the English Premier League and recently rejoined Manchester before accepting an offer to return to the Skydome from coach Paul Thompson.
"I am really happy about it. I have been talking to Thommo and this is the right situation for me," said Campbell.
"I have been helping Manchester out and had a great time with Tony [Hand, player-coach] but it was always a short-term thing.
"I have great memories of my time in Coventry and winning the league. Coventry Blaze is a top organisation and I am very happy to be back.
"The Elite League is more competitive this year and I am looking forward to the challenge and hopefully the team can make a run. We will see what happens this weekend."
Campbell will make his debut in Saturday's trip to Belfast Giants and his first home appearance comes against former club Stingrays at the Skydome the following night (5.15pm face-off).
Coach Thompson added: "I have been looking for a guy who can create some offence for us and Soupy can do that. I also wanted a gritty left-winger with speed and he fits that bill.
"I made a mistake by not bringing him back last time. He had won a championship with us and went on to win a championship the next season in Sheffield and was a big reason why Hull Stingrays had their best season last year.
"I like Soupy as a person, I like what he brings to a team and he plays with an edge. I will be expecting him to produce offensively.
"I am really excited to have him back, it is a great opportunity for him and I know he is looking forward to coming back too."

25 May 2010 13:36 GMT
The government accuses Thaksin of spending nearly $1.5 million per day to finance the protests, and claims he helped the red shirts smuggle weapons and fighters from Cambodia.
Twitter response
Thaksin, who could face the death penalty if convicted of the charges, denied the charges in a series of messages posted on his Twitter page.
"As a prime minister who won two landslide election victories, I was ousted in a coup," he said.
"As I was fighting peacefully for justice for the return of my robbed assets, I was slapped with terrorism charges."
Many of the red-shirt protesters support the Puea Thai party, which is allied with Thaksin, and want early elections. They say the current government is illegitimate.
"They are saying to us, this is not the end for the former prime minister," Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay, reporting from Bangkok, said.
"This wrangling between the former prime minister and his supporters here, and the current regime, continues."
Noppadon Pattama, Thaksin's legal adviser, said he is seeking to have the warrant revoked because Thaksin's attorney was not able to present evidence in his client's defence.
In another development, opposition politicians have begun moves to impeach the Thai prime minister over his handling of the protests.
The measure, backed by 159 opposition members of parliament, not only targets Abhisit Vejjajiva, but also calls for the censure of three ministers in his cabinet: the deputy prime minister, the transport minister, and the interior minister.
The parliamentarians also tabled a no-confidence motion in Abhisit.
Neither measure is expected to pass. But the fact that they were introduced at all reflects deep rifts in Thailand's political landscape following the protests.
Wittaya Buranasiri, the opposition whip, said the impeachment motion was introduced by the Puea Thai party, whose members accuse Abhisit and his deputy of abusing their power by ordering the crackdown on the red shirts.
Under pressure
The red shirts have called for Abhisit to resign and allow early elections.
They accuse his government of taking power illegitimately, with the help of backroom deals and military pressure.
The anti-government movement came to a head when red-shirt protesters moved into Bangkok's central business district, building bamboo-and-tyre barricades and manning checkpoints that crippled one of the city's most important shopping and tourism areas.
Shops and businesses have begun to reopen since the crackdown, but authorities have extended a late-night curfew until next Saturday.
Abhisit's cabinet approved the extension on Tuesday.
Source: Al Jazeera and agencies
Abhisit hints night-time curfew likely to be extended but says "everything is calm".
Rights groups warn against secret detention of over 100 red-shirt protest leaders.

Level cap should increase to 100...or more...*idea*
Panopictonguy posted...
SuprSaiyanRockr posted...TheUndeadCrow posted...Personally I'd like the cap to be raised to 70. Just to one up the previous game. I think they should just make it so you can only get one end tree game changer.
Very clever.
But I'm sure you understood that I meant both at the same time. That's impossible with the current level cap.
In any case, I can't see how allowing all characters to get more skill points would be any more breaking to multiplayer than continuing to allow players of different levels to interact.
Same difference; one is a higher level, so they have more/better skills.

Efficiency>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nostalgia. Always.
If we can't get to at least level 69 by the end of DLC then the game will have less than the first. That's just bad game design. I hate when we get less stuff in the next game of a series. New game means more stuff.
Level cap should increase by 5 or 6 at the most, this way it is impossible to have two final skills.
If they add more than that they should also expand on existing skills trees or add one or two more.

Why are people against having two final skills?
If you don't want them both, don't use them.
If you're worried about others using them, do the same.

i did, heh got really off track for some reason though, instead of badass tokens i do think it would be cool if like in D3 the higher lvl you get the better the drop rates become but the gun levels could hurt this i think unless they stop at 50.

That's not it at all. I'm just sick of seeing so many topics that are basically WTF NO LVL CAP INCREASE????? WHY BOTHER PLAYING AT ALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
Currently playing: Minecraft: FTB, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, Borderlands 2
Half these people probably just don't want the lvl cap increased so all their lvl 50 duped orange weapons will be useless..... however, I like your idea because having such a low lvl makes this game kind of boring.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Downtown sidewalks are in terrible condition, and it's the city's fault
Last week, several days before March would come in like a snow leopard, my wife and I were leaving a Jets game, hiking and grumbling our way along stretches of downtown sidewalks that seemed more suited to mushing than walking, when I had a flashback.
It was last winter. We were leaving a Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra concert on Market Avenue, the street that runs the length of the Centennial Concert Hall, and there was an even more treacherous snow- and ice-rutted sidewalk.
Safe, accessible streets and sidewalks are the city's stated No.1 goal of its snow-clearing and ice-control policy. And the No. 1 priority is downtown, where sidewalks, like streets, are "generally" supposed to be "plowed to a paved surface whenever conditions allow," and whenever the snowfall amounts reach five centimetres.
For downtown streets and sidewalks, the city gives itself a 36-hour completion window on "average storms," but these mogul-like paths looked as if pedestrians had packed them down for a lot longer than a day and a half.
I wondered last winter, as I did last week, how well-trodden downtown sidewalks could be left in such treacherous states? Properly plowed sidewalks might not inconvenience young Jets fans but, for the much older symphony-going crowd, a slip and fall can be life-changing.
I was angry a year ago at the city's apparent lack of concern for pedestrians, and I was angry again last week.
It's sad enough when citizens are afraid to go downtown in summer because of the spectre of street crime. It's sad in a different way when the city can easily do something to make people feel safe walking downtown in winter, and they don't seem to care.
And pedestrians do fall on downtown sidewalks.
By chance Tuesday afternoon, I witnessed a middle-aged woman fall to her knees on Graham Avenue, across from the Millennium Library. Granted, it had snowed heavily Monday. On Wednesday morning, as more flakes fell, I took a tour of the downtown. By then, it appeared some of the sidewalks had been skimmed of slushy snow, but not plowed to pavement. The only bare sidewalks I saw were in front of commercial properties like the Bay department store and Earls on Main.
City hall's sidewalks and plaza area were a thin mix of old snow and the sandy salt they throw at it. Chinatown's sidewalks were narrow footpaths feet had made, but nearby Siloam Mission had ensured the sidewalk in front of their soup kitchen was scraped bare, even if the city still hadn't got around to clearing others in the general vicinity of the homeless and hungry who trod the area.
I returned to the Millennium Library across from where the woman had fallen the day before, and there, on the spot where she dropped -- where the sidewalk meets the street -- I saw something that suggested why. There was a small boulder of street-plowed snow and ice and a narrow, slushy foot path where pavement should be showing. But I'm not the only one who is questioning the competence and diligence of the city when it comes to sidewalk snow removal in the less-than-pulsing heart of the city. A newsroom colleague chimed in with an email. She and her husband had attended the Warehouse Theatre Saturday night and encountered a patch of nearby sidewalk that shocked her.
"Treacherous is no understatement," she wrote. "I am pretty hale and can navigate mounds and drifts, but this was a high-altitude goat path. Absurd. Embarrassing. There was no way anyone with even a minor disability could have navigated that piece of sidewalk between MTC and the Warehouse. You'd have to walk on the roads, which were treacherous, too."
So why isn't Winnipeg doing a better job?
I emailed the city and asked why the downtown sidewalks haven't been plowed to pavement, as the policy states. The city said it didn't have a spokesman available, but an emailed response was provided. Basically it amounted to restating the policy, about plowing downtown sidewalks to a paved surface, while bold-facing the convenient out, "whenever conditions allow."
"However," the statement acknowledged, "minor snowfalls and/or warming trends between plowing operations may result in a layer of compacted snow or ice on the sidewalk surface."
In other words, when it doesn't snow the policy-required five centimetres to send the plows up, the other flakes that fall in between cleanups can cause the kind of conditions my wife and I witnessed over the last two years. So why don't they just plow the sidewalks between significant snow events to keep them clear? Maybe it's the cost of adhering diligently to the policy's intent. But I think what it's really about is a lack of pride, a lack of believing in ourselves.
As the Broken Windows Theory on crime has demonstrated, keeping a tidy neighbourhood offers both the perception and the reality of a safer place to live, and that goes for plowing sidewalks as much as it does fixing broken windows. The city talks a good game plan when it comes to revitalizing and reinvigorating the downtown as a place to do business, to live and be entertained. But when it comes to something as basic and simple as plowing the slippery winter walk, the City of Winnipeg performs the way one would expect.
It falls flat on its face.
Let's get this clear
Sidewalks on Priority I* and II** streets within the downtown shall generally be plowed to a paved surface whenever conditions allow. However, minor snowfalls and/or warming temperatures between plowing operations may result in a layer of compacted snow or ice on the sidewalk surface. A plowing operation shall be initiated when the snow has accumulated beyond a depth of five cm. The snow-plowing operations shall be completed within thirty-six hours following the end of an average storm.
*Priority I streets include all regional streets, and some streets around the Health Sciences Centre.
**Priority II streets include non-regional bus routes and collector streets.

The present invention concerns improvements in or relating to equipment for the maintenance operations in information processing systems comprising diversified processing units, at least one of which is a central processor unit.
It has already been proposed, as for instance in U.S. Pat. No. 3,623,011, entitled "Time shared Access to Computer Registers" filed June 25, 1969 and assigned to BELL TELEPHONE LABORATORIES INC. and WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY, to distribute such a maintenance equipment throughout the units of a system by means of specialized busses independent of the busses enabling the information exchanges between the units and to control said specialized busses from a specialized "maintenance station". Said station may be a small computer operating in two-way exchange relation with the central unit of the system. From said specialized busses are commanded and controlled in each unit organizations enabling the test of the status of existing registers of the unit and enabling, when required, the remotely controlled execution of diagnosis programs by the unit.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved means in such kinds of maintenance equipment such that, on the first part, it may be applicable to units which do not, themselves, include operational shift registers and, on the second part, it may provide execution of tests during the execution of a task by the unit as well as it may provide execution of special tasks such as a diagnosis task after an interrupt of the execution of a normal or routine task by the unit.
According to a feature of the invention, shift registers specially adapted for the maintenance operation purposes are created in each unit from a series hardware connection of multibit and single-bit registers of the unit and which, for part of them, copy the conditions of certain registers of the unit, each one of the multi-bit or single-bit registers in such shift registers or the conditions of which are copied in the said shift registers being normally provided with further functional and "normal" connections in the structure of the said unit. Each unit is provided with local automaton means for actuation and control of the said shift registers, each such local automaton being responsive to local and remote commands for controlling read-out and write-in operations of the said shift registers, interrupts of execution of a task in the unit and controls of execution of substitute test and diagnosis routines by the unit. A common maintenance station communicates with the said local automaton means through their own exchange communication links.
According to a further feature of the invention, such hardwired shift registers comprise, per unit, a first shift register having members which are active in the execution of a task and a second shift register having members containing information on the status of active members of the unit, the local automaton means of the unit comprising means for selective activation of the first and second shift registers.
These and further features will be described in full detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows the general organization of a maintenance equipment in an information multi-unit processing system,
FIG. 2 shows a first example of execution of the part of the maintenance equipment in a unit of the system, said unit being of an unspecified kind,
FIG. 3 shows a more detailed example of execution of the part of the maintenance equipment in a unit of the system, said unit being of a conventional microprogrammed kind, and,
FIG. 4 shows in block form, an embodiment of the common maintenance station of the equipment.
The information processing system shown in FIG. 1 comprises a central unit UC having exchange connections to an exchange logic unit LUM for accessing a central store MR and having exchange connections to such units as UE for accessing peripheral equipment EP and to such exchange units as UL for accessing data mass stores MM. The communications from the central unit to each one of the said other units of the system are two-way communications bath for requests and for data exchange.
A maintenance equipment is associated with the information processing system and comprises a maintenance station CEM having a command and data exchange communication link LPCEM to the central processor unit UC. Each unit of the system, except the maintenance station, is provided with a local automaton for execution of maintenance operations such as test, supervision and diagnosis and the like, i.e. any such local automaton is a local operator capable of managing such maintenance actions, in relation to particular means created in the unit for this purpose. Said means consists of one or more shift registers such as RD in FIG. 1, wherein each local automaton AL is merely illustrated by a multi-bit register D and a two-condition, or bistable, member T. The local automatons are connected to an exchange communication link LPM to the CEM unit. As many two-condition members T are provided as are shift registers such as RD in the unit and the multi-bit register D serves as an input/output member either for all the shift registers or the multi-bit register D is repeated as many times as are shift registers in the unit. In either case, the multi-bit register D closes a loop for the corresponding shift register RD. The multi-bit register D enables data to be read out from or written into the concerned shift register RD. The read-out data may be sent to the maintenance station CEM. The data to be written into the shift registers may be sent from this maintenance station and the maintenance station can send commands to the local automatons through the LPM link. Each two-condition member, when actuated by either a local or a remote command, activates the operation of the corresponding shift register RD.
It may be noted that the maintenance station may be omitted in less elaborate equipment and the Central processor unit UC can be used to perform the functions devoted to the said maintenance station. Such a restricted arrangement is nevertheless not especially desirable since it would impose too heavy a burden on the central processor unit unless the system is of the slow operating type. Further, if the central unit fails, maintenance equipment would then be inoperative. With the provision of a separate maintenance station CEM, this last occurrence cannot exist when, as shown, the processor cell constituting the maintenance station is connected to external sources of information such as K7 and Ex. K7 may for instance be a selfcontained magnetic tape device, Ex may come from another central processor of the system or of a system cooperating with the one shown. If UC fails, CEM may request assistance from such sources. As the maintenance station can fail, too, it has been shown at ad that the link LPM may be connected to an external maintenance control source OE. Such a scheme may for instance be easy to provide when the system comprises two central units such as UC which operate in intercorrelation, as known from so-called twinned processor systems.
The maintenance station may further be connected to an operator's console CV including, for instance, a teletypewriter keyboard for human intervening actions and/or a visualizing device when needed.
One possible organization of the maintenance cell is shown in FIG. 4, which actually summarizes the teachings of the invention disclosed in co-pending application entitled "INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM" filed the same day as the present application for patent and assigned to the same assignee as the present one Ser. No. 533,459. The maintenance station CEM consists of a microprogram operated processor cell comprising a microprogram command store MK, a logical and arithmetical oprator organization φ LA, which must be understood as including an automatic address progression organization from the extraction (read-out) of microprograms from MK, a data word store MB, a task executive store MT, and the output data word register S and address word register Z of the logical organization operator φLA. The operator organization φLA is two-way connected to the link LPM and inputs of MB, MT are connected to said link whereas said link is connected to outputs of the registers S and Z. The operator organization OLA is further shown provided with input/output links to the central unit, LPCEM, the external information sources K7-Ex and the console, CV.
Broadly stated, the operation of the maintenance station CEM is as follows: it may receive requests and data from the local automatons of the units through LPM and send commands to the said local automatons, through LPM, from the output registers S and Z. The maintenance station operates as a multi-microprogrammation unit, having base microprograms in MK and being capable to requesting further microprograms from the central store MC through the central unit UC and from the external information sources. Through LPCEM, it may receive maintenance operation requesting from the central unit.
A maintenance hardwired shift register such as RD is made from series interconnection of functional members of the unit proper, each of which is provided with other and "normal" connections in the unit for satisfying the function of its own. When such a functional member cannot be directly connected in such a hardwired register, said register contains as a substitute thereof an identical member copying, or repeating, at any time, the condition of the unconnectable member. The term "hardwired" is intended to eliminate any and all conditional connection the subject of a switch of connections in the maintenance equipment.
For a better and clearer understanding of the nature of the maintenance hardwired shift registers which are, according to the invention, included in the maintenance equipment, reference is first made to FIG. 2 which shows an illustrative arrangement of such registers and their command circuitry in a unit of any unidentified kind, and to FIG. 3 which shows an embodiment of the invention in a unit of the microprogram operated processing unit. In said figures, two shift registers are shown of distinct characterization according to a further feature of the invention. The first, RDC is made of the series interconnection of members, C1 to C5 in FIG. 2, which are assumed to be functionally active members of the unit, whereas a second one, RDV is made of the series interconnection of members V1 to V5 which are assumed to be functionally passive members of the unit, so that said second shift registers can be used during the time the unit executes a task whereas the first one can only be used after an interrupt of a task by the unit. From a purely illustrative point of view, the member C4 of the RDC register is shown as repeating the actual condition of an actual member C4U of the unit and all the members V1 to V5 are shown as repeaters of actual members V1U to VSU of the unit. It must be understood, however, that the fewer repeater members are used the better, especially for functionally active members in such units. Duplication of functionally passive members such as error bistable signalling members is of lesser importance as, most often, it will lead to duplication of single-bit registers, which does not materially increase the cost of the equipment.
The shift register RDC is activable from a command LC when the condition of the two-condition member TC, which preferably is a bistable circuit, is controlled for unblocking the activation of the shift control circuit LC. The direction of the shift controlled from LC is determined by the conditions of its inputs d and g which, obviously, must always be in opposed logical levels.
The shift register RDV is similarly controlled from the shift control circuit LV, on actuation of the two-condition member TV, the direction of the shift being determined by the conditions of the logical opposite levels at d and g. Reading out and writing in of the informations from and to said registers are provided from multi-bit registers DC and DV which are serially connectable to the shift registers so as to close them in an overall loop. When destructive read-out is required, gates (not shown), inserted between the multibit-register D and the shift register RD, are themselves blocked. The data and commands for controlling the shift registers pass through and are casually memorized within the general circuits of the local automaton which are merely shown as a block CG. Said circuits CG may input and output information from and to the two exchange links LPM, as previously defined, and LSM which is an internal link to the circuitry of the unit (U). Actually, the circuits CG include decoder circuits of command codes from LPM, buffer data circuits from LPM and responsive circuits to failure detector and request signals from LSM. The decoder circuits have outputs for the activation of the shift registers and for the routing to LPM or from LMP of data and they have further outputs to task executive terminal inputs of the unit. Such connections will more clearly appear from the description of FIG. 3.
The local automaton AL may itself include an additional shift register RDS of the same kind as the registers RDC and RDV except that, as shown in FIG. 3, it may not be imperatively a twodirection shift register. Further, of course, the members S1 to S5 are not functional parts of an organization other than the local automaton. The provision of RDS is casual so that, actually, it will not be made in most cases.
The unit (U) of FIG. 3 is a multi-microprogrammed machine of which the main components are shown in their usual relationship. It comprises a microprogram store MK, usually of the read-only kind wherein word selection is under the control of addresses generated by an automatic progression address modifier circuit MA. Each read-out word is transferred to a read-out register K-AD, the part AD of which contains an address code which is used in MA together with data from the logic unit LU of the machine for generation of the address of the next word of the microprogram to be read from the store MK. The content of the part K of the read-out register is applied to the logic unit LU for analysis and execution of the microinstruction it contains. LU is in two-way connection relationship with a set of registers which are commonly shown at R for the sake of simplicity. It must be understood too that set of registers R is shown for the sake of clarity outside the logic unit whereas normally it is included in the unit. The registers of the set R are loaded and unloaded with data in the processing of the instruction words in the logic unit. External information is received by LU through an interface circuit Ext, through which the logic unit sends data to external equipment through a transfer circuit Kx. Within the logic unit LU, a number of error detecting circuits are usually present the results of which are memorized on error indicating bistable members. The logic unit may further include status registers indicative at any time of the status of the machine during execution of a task. Conventionally the outputs of the error detector bistable members are grouped on inputs of two error circuits:- the circuit ERE, the output of which, when activated, indicates the presence of a recoverable error, and the circuit EMO, the output of which, when activated, indicates the presence or occurrence of a lethal error, i.e. an unrecoverable error.
In the local automaton (AL), a single multi-bit register D is included the inputs of which are provided with multiplexing circuits Mxo and Mxi. The register D may receive data from, or issue data to, the exchange data link LPM. The RDC shift register of the maintenance equipment is made by serially connecting in hardware connection mode the register K, the set of registers R and a circuit LKx repeating the condition of the transfer circuit Kx. The RDV register is made of the hardwired series connection of bistable members copying the conditions of the error bistable members in the logic unit LU, and which are shown grouped at E, plus a multi-bit register AMK which repeats at any time the address code outputtig from MA. Both registers are looped on the register D through the multiplexer circuits Mxo and Mxi. It must be emphasized that the members in the shift register RDC and, when needed RDV (for instance AMK) each comprise inputs and outputs of a functional character in the circuitry of the unit, distinct from the inputs and outputs enabling the series connection thereof in such shift registers. Such a condition of series inputs/outputs and of parallel inputs/outputs for the same member exists now for any component parts or grouped component parts of the present technology in the art. Consequently, the said hardwired shift registers do not necessitate any switching of connections from their functional to their maintenance operation and vice-versa.
The shift register RDC is associated in the local automaton is associated with a two-condition bistable circuit TC controlling a command circuit LC for controlling the shifts of information throughout said shift register. As explained with respect to FIG. 2, said shift can be controlled in the one or the other direction. The shift register RDV is similarly associated with two-condition bistable circuit TV controlling a command circuit LV for similarly controlling shifts in the register RDV.
As apparent, the shift register RDC cannot be used when the unit (U) is executing a normal task. On the other hand, the shift register RDV can be manipulated at any time as the members thereof are not active parts of execution of a task by the unit (U).
The output of the recoverable error circuit ERE is connected to an input of the general circuits CG of (A1) which responds to an activation of this input by actuation of TV and signals this actuation through the link LPM to the remote maintenance station. The output of the non-recoverable error circuit EMO is connected to another input of the general circuits CG of (AL) which responds to the activation of said input by actuating both TV and TC and signals this situation through LPM to the said remote station. When the output of EMO turns true, the unit (U) obviously comes to rest. Consequently, it must be understood that the said inputs of CG are wired to actuation inputs of TV and TC and to encoder input circuitry sending codes indicative of the corresponding conditions on the LPM link.
Without unduly coming into program details of supervision, test and diagnosis, the operation of the equipment may be explained as follows:
A first use of the shift register RDV is plain. At any time instant, a decision from the central unit or from the maintenance station may be reached for checking the condition of a unit (U) from a read-out of said shift register. Such a read-out command reaches the local automaton through the link LPM and the circuits CG responds to such a command by actuating the bistable member TV and supplying to LC the information concerning the direction of the shift it will control from this instant of time. The multiplexer MXo and Mxi are simultaneously set for connecting the shift register RDV to the multi-bit register D. Each step of the shift introduces data from RDV into D, and said data is automatically applied to the return path of the link LPM. The read-out is not destructive and, after the number of steps corresponding to the number of data in the register RDV, the operation is automatically stopped and the content of the shift register is identical to the one which has just been read out. The data are interpreted by the maintenance station or the central unit.
When the recoverable error circuit ERE activates its output, the shift register RDV is automatically the subject of a complete read-out and the read-out data are sent from D to the return data path of LPM to the maintenance station.
When the recoverable error circuits ERE and EMO are activated concomitantly, as is the normal case, both registers RDV and RDC will be the subjects of read-out. A priority routine is wired in the CG circuits (for instance TC cannot be actuated unless TV is de-actuated). The data read out from the registers are also sent to the maintenance station from the same path of LPM.
Two cases must be considered when a recoverable error is signalled, further to the actuation of the shift register TV as just above described. In the first case, the unit is provided with error recuperation or recovering self-programmed means. Such means produce an automatic error recovery trial routine to be executed in the unit and this is signalled to the local automaton. When the routine is successful, a signal is sent back to the local automaton which controls a new scan of the contents of the shift register RDV which will display the nature of the error by comparison, at the remote station, of the previous and faulty record in RDV and the corrected new one. When the routine fails, the circuit EMO sends an error signal. In the second case, the unit does not include such an error recovery trial routine. After the read-out of the content of the shift register RDV, the maintenance station may send in a step by step fashion or in a CG buffered fashion such a routine to the local automaton with a command to stop or interrupt the execution of the task in the unit. The microinstructions of this routine may be introduced in the logical unit LU in a step by step fashion or, when MK comprises a read-write portion, it may be temporarily introduced within said store from transferring the microinstruction words of the routine successively in the set of registers R and controlling the introduction of such words into K which then acts as a write-in register for the store. When the routine fails, the logical unit activates the EMO circuit output.
When a non-recoverable error is signalled, the two shift registers are sequentially and successively scanned and the data sent to the maintenance station where it is analysed. When a decision of diagnosis is reached by the station or the central unit, commands and data may be sent through LPM for a step-by-step execution of such a diagnosis routine which program will begin with introduction of fresh data in the RDC shift register as a substitute for the former ones. In this operation, the read-out is destructive, for instance by blocking Mxi. Thereafter orders of execution of a diagnosis routine are sent to the unit through the same process as herein above explained for the error trial routine, except that, each execution of a microinstruction interrupts the execution of the task and a non-destructive readout of the contents of EDC is ensured prior to the execution of the next microinstruction of the routine. It may be said that a diagnosis routine is made according to a combinative logic mode which is known as being of advantageous per se.
When a decision is reached at the maintenance station or in the central unit to interrupt execution of a task in the unit (U), a signal is sent through LPM for simulating an error, thereafter fresh words may be introduced in the shift register RDC to re-initialize the unit and the logic LU is then unblocked. An equipment according to the invention consequently enables a remote control of the tasks in the units.
When required, and for further maintenance purposes, the shift register RDV may be arranged to contain at least one error simulating bistable which may be forced to error, so that special tests may be ordered at any time of the execution of a task in the machine or even when the machine is at rest, such an additional member having its output connected to the circuit ERE or EMO, as needed.
It must be noted that the read-out or write in of the register D, is controlled in series numeration so that the number of wires in the LPM link is suitably low. If the exchanges were made in parallel numeration, the number of wires would obviously be prohibitive.
The maintenance equipment may, though not imperatively and not in each local automaton, be further provided with a third shift register RDS. FIG. 3 shows an example of such a third register, associated with the control circuits TS/LS and said third register, when provided, is connectable across the same multi-bit register D as the two other ones. The provision of this third register has for its purpose to enable the maintenance station CEM to send a complete set of controlling data in a single exchange when the data are loaded in the register, for a local use without intervention of the station. In the example of FIG. 3, such a third register is mainly intended to be used for local control of peripheral equipment controller units, for instance electro-mechanical actuated peripherals, such as magnetic tape readers and the like.
In FIG. 3, the shift register RDS is shown as comprising a counter-decounter CTA, an address register ASA, a bistable member AA controlling a stop on an address, a bistable member AC controlling a stop on an instruction, a non-recoverable error masking circuit MI and a recoverable error masking circuit MD, a routine change control circuit MD and a bistable member B which, when actuated to its "1" condition blocks the external output transfer circuit Kx of the unit. The outputs of the error and routine change control circuits are connected to inputs of CG on members thereof which "cut" or blocks the connections from EME, EMO and the routine change control connection (DER) in said circuits CG, so that, during execution by the unit of a task controlled from RDS no occurring errors can interfere with said task execution. Such a task is controlled from RDS and consists of a repetitive or recurring routine of instructions: any address of the store MK generated in MA is applied to a comparator COMP the other input of which is in ASA; the output of COMP is applied to a logical operator circuit LOG which operates under the data from AA and AC for decrementing by one unit the content of CTA at each activation of the output of the comparator COMP. At each step of operation of the logical operator LOG, an information signal is sent to the command register which, in CG, controls a repetition of the routine by the unit (U) through (DER), as it has been herein above explained for the execution of test and recoverable error controlling operations, except that, in this case, it is from CTA and, more generally RDS, that such routine execution is controlled and no longer directly from the remote maintenance station. When CTA returns to zero, TS comes to work and either an instruction register in CG or a command from the remote station CEM controls the shift of the register RDS so that said register is cleared. As said clearance operation cancels the above mentioned application of masks, any error which may have occurred during imposed execution of the routine will become apparent at the EME and EMO outputs. The condition will now start from the above defined conditions for a recoverable or a non-recoverable error, as the case may be. If no error occurred, the normal operation of the unit is resumed.

Group Wants Warning Label on Potato Chips
LOS ANGELES — A California consumer legal group is campaigning to require warning labels on potato chips, saying they contain a chemical known to cause cancer and state law requires the warnings.
The Environmental Law Foundation filed notices with the Golden State's attorney general on Thursday against Lay's potato chip maker PepsiCo Inc., Pringles maker Procter & Gamble Co., Cape Cod potato chip parent Lance Inc. and Kettle Chips maker Kettle Foods Inc.
The notices give the attorney general's office 60 days to take up the case on behalf of all Californians. If the state declines to pursue the matter, the group said in the documents that "it intends to bring suit in the public interest" against the companies.
Under California law, companies are required to warn consumers if their products contain known carcinogens.
The chemical in question, acrylamide, is formed when starchy foods are baked or fried at high temperatures. Acrylamide is listed by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment as a chemical known to cause cancer.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been studying the impact of acrylamide levels in food since 2002. On its Web site, the FDA said that, while the chemical is known to cause cancer in laboratory animals in high doses, it is "not clear whether acrylamide causes cancer in humans at the much lower levels found in food."
"At this point we're still trying to evaluate the effects of acrylamide," said FDA spokesman Mike Herndon.
PepsiCo unit Frito-Lay said in a statement that it has not yet received the notice from the ELF, but said its "food safety standards are very stringent and meet all federal and state regulations."
Pringles spokeswoman Kay Puryear said its products "are as safe as ever" and that Procter & Gamble has been "working to reduce the formation of acrylamide."
A Kettle Foods spokeswoman said the company would not comment on pending litigation.
Officials at Lance were not immediately available for comment.
According to the Oakland, California-based Environmental Law Foundation, tests it commissioned found levels of acrylamide in many of the nation's most popular potato chip brands far exceeded the levels requiring warning labels under California law.
Cape Cod Robust Russet potato chips exceeded the required warning level by 910 times, while Kettle Chips Lightly Salted chips exceeded the level by 505 times, the group said.

Spent a wonderful week here - 2 adults, a 12 year old and a 5 year old. The caravan was large, clean, tidy and well equipped and is in a lovely, quiet location on the site. We paid extra for a 'pass' into the Haven facilities and the children had a great time in the pool, the amusements and the crazy golf. The campsite is in a great location for exploring Dorset and we found plenty to keep all of us amused within Weymouth and the surrounding area. In fact, we had such a lovely holiday that we've booked again this year! mehr

Johnny Winter - Johnny Winter Teamed Up With Fellow Guitar Greats For Final Album
Picture: Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton performs at the SSE Hydro within the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) - Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom - Saturday...
Blues legend Johnny Winter's final album will be a star-studded affair featuring famous friends including Eric Clapton, Ben Harper, Billy Gibbons, DR. John and Joe Perry.
The guitar great passed away suddenly in Switzerland in July (14), but not before he had completed work on a last album, titled Step Back.
His longtime bandmate Paul Nelson has produced the record, which also features Joe Bonamassa and Brian Setzer, and ZZ Top star Gibbons admits it was a dream come true to work with his idol.
He tells Wenn, "I never had the opportunity to jam with him (and so) I was content to remain in awe and admiration."
Aerosmith star Perry adds, "If it was not for Johnny Winter, I would have never picked up the guitar."
Highlights of the album include Perry and Winter's collaboration on Lightnin' Hopkins' Mojo Hand, and Winter's cover of Bobby 'Blue' Bland's Don't Want No Woman with Clapton.

Enter digital art. It afforded me the ability to most accurately and immediately express much of what was already rattling around my head. Everyone knows how to appreciate something beautiful or pleasant, but when something sexual, scary, repulsive, or different comes along, we can't help but to stop and stare. We're drawn to it, because we are drawn to that which we don't understand. That is human nature, to want to examine the unknown.

A Story Idea Each Day for a Month — Day 1April 1st, 2015 by Scott
This is the sixth year in a row I've run this series in April. Why a story idea each day for the month? Several reasons which I'll work my through during this series of posts. For today, the most basic one:
If you have aspirations of becoming a professional screenwriter, you should be in the habit of generating story concepts.
Let's say you write and sell a spec script. Congratulations. You're the "flavor-of-the-week." Your agent and manager set up meetings across Hollywood with producers and studio execs. The first words out of their mouths will likely be some variation of "Love your script " (even if they haven't really read it). The second thing they say will almost assuredly be, "What else have ya' got?" If you haven't been developing other stories, that is likely to be a very short meeting.
There are many ways to generate story ideas. This month, I focus on one: Looking for ideas in news sources. Each of the items I'll be posting for the next 30 days comes from a news site.
Today's story idea: The Tragic Price of Ivory.
How extensive is the poaching?
Poachers are now slaughtering up to 35,000 of the estimated 500,000 African elephants every year for their tusks. A single male elephant's two tusks can weigh more than 250 pounds, with a pound of ivory fetching as much as $1,500 on the black market. The ivory is so valuable because all across Asia — particularly in China — ivory figurines are given as traditional gifts, and ivory chopsticks, hair ornaments, and jewelry are highly prized luxuries. "China regards ivory as a cultural heritage; they are not going to ban it," said Grace Gabriel of the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Many Chinese consumers don't realize that elephants must be killed for their ivory; in one survey, more than two thirds of Chinese respondents said they thought tusks grew back like fingernails.
What impact has the slaughter had on the elephants?
Elephants are highly intelligent, social creatures that live in matriarchal groups, and poaching has ravaged much of their social structure. The biggest tusks are found on the largest breeding males and on the oldest females, who lead the elephant troops. Where these animals are targeted and killed, elephant populations are reduced to leaderless groups of traumatized orphans huddling together. In the past year, even they are being wiped out, as some poachers have started dumping cyanide into watering holes, killing every animal that drinks there. Last year, poachers killed an estimated 300 elephants in Zimbabwe's largest park, Hwange, by lacing watering holes and salt licks with cyanide.
Who are the poachers?
Since the industry is illegal, those who run it largely come from criminal syndicates or terrorist organizations. Al-Shabab, the Somalia-based wing of al Qaida, raises $600,000 a month from poaching to fund its activities. Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army, the rebel group notorious for enslaving children, also raises money through poaching. "Poaching has become one of the most profitable criminal activities there is," says Peter Seligmann, the CEO of Conservation International. Chinese mafia organizations mostly do the purchasing and distribution of ivory after it's been obtained, selling it mostly in China and Southeast Asia but sometimes to markets in the U.S.
What could you do with this story conceit?
My first instinct: Establish a pair of poachers. Complex, desperate characters. Travel to Africa to score big on the ivory trade. Only this time, they picked the wrong damn elephant to mess with.
Two humans out in the middle of nowhere. Fish out of water. And one majorly pissed off elephant — probably his mate has been killed by these dudes — who is going to stalk, scare and squash these two human hunters.
It's Jaws meets Predator.
Of course, you could just go naturalist advocate taking on the powers that be. But somehow being out in the wild with a marauding-bent-on-revenge elephant strikes me as a cool low-budget movie.
So there you go: My first story idea for the month. And it's yours. Free!
Finally each day in April, I invite you to join me in comments to do some brainstorming. Gender bend, genre bend, what if. Take each day's story idea and see what it can become when we play around with it. These are valuable skills for a writer to develop.
See you in comments. And come back tomorrow for another Story Idea Each Day For A Month.

Stellar Field at USATF Club XC Champs
BETHLEHEM, PA--At the Bethlehem XC, on December 13, 2014,
there was serious racing, likely the best and fastest runners
ever assembled in a Pennsylvania event. Age-group aces,
and open stars. Runners who normally win races were finishing
in 200th place; no headphones or tutus were seen. A great
job of organizing by the local organizing committee ( LOC).
The first race of the day was the Masters women (40+) which
was won easily by Chris Kimbrough of Austin, Texas in 21:31.
Sonja Friend-Uhl of Atlanta TC was second in 21:45.
Gregory Mitchell of Portland, OR easily won the mens Masters

Seahawks defense stars in 24-7 win over Rams
The first quarter made Pete Carroll wince. Soon enough, the Seattle Seahawks coach was smiling.
In the first eight or so minutes, the St. Louis Rams had two interceptions, a blocked punt and their first touchdown in the opening quarter since the season opener.
''We came out and played so miserably,'' Carroll said.
The Rams (2-8) had only seven points, though. The rest of the way was all Seattle, especially on defense, in a 24-7 victory on Sunday. The misery was on the other side of the field.
''Nobody wavered at all, nobody lost their minds on it, nobody got down in the dumps about it, and you could just feel it change,'' Carroll said. ''You knew it was a matter of time before we got on top of this thing and got going.''
Chris Clemons had three of the Seahawks' five sacks and two forced fumbles on Sam Bradford, both of them leading to touchdowns. Seattle shut down Steven Jackson, too.
The Rams managed just 185 yards, Seattle's best showing and St. Louis' second-worst.
''We just have to keep fighting and get ready for the next opponent,'' Jackson said. ''Try to do a little more film study or whatever it is that's called upon you. Continue to fight, that's really what it is at this point.''
Wide receiver Sidney Rice provided early flash for Seattle (4-6), completing a 55-yard option pass to open the game, catching a touchdown pass and drawing a pass interference call to set up a field goal at the end of the half for a 10-7 lead.
Marshawn Lynch scored for the fourth straight week, although he missed on a third straight 100-yard game, finishing with 88 yards on 27 carries.
''They all don't start off the way you want them to,'' Lynch said. ''It's all a matter of how you finish it.''
Running behind a patchwork line, Jackson was held to 42 yards on 15 carries, ending a run of three straight games of 125 or more yards. The Rams opened without both starting tackles, with Rodger Saffold (pectoral) placed on injured reserve on Saturday and Jason Smith (concussion) out for the fourth straight week. Practice squad callup Kevin Hughes became a regular after fill-in tackle Mark Levoir (pectoral) was hurt in the first half.
Brandon Lloyd's 30-yard catch was the Rams' first touchdown in the first quarter since the opener, set up by Quintin Mikell's interception. That was it for the NFL's lowest-scoring team, which managed 1 yard or less a dozen times on first down.
''We're definitely having some issues on our first- and second-down plays and that's tough, especially with a team like Seattle, they have excellent pass rushers and an excellent secondary,'' Lloyd said. ''When you get in third and long and short passing situations, then that's where they thrive.''
The Seahawks won on consecutive weeks for the first time, following up on an upset over Baltimore, and have won 12 of 13 in the series. They improved to 2-4 on the road in a game notable for sloppy play and 19 punts, including a season-high 10 by the Rams' Donnie Jones.
The Rams' game plan leaned heavily to four-wideout sets and empty backfields.
''We thought they might run the ball more because Steven Jackson had been running so well the past few games,'' Seattle linebacker Leroy Hill said. ''But they tried to spread us out and it worked in our favor.''
Lynch scored on a 3-yard run in the third quarter, five plays after Bradford fumbled at the St. Louis 25, and Justin Forsett broke several tackles on a 22-yarder on third-and-11 to clinch it with 4:21 to go. The clincher came three plays after Red Bryant intercepted a pass tipped at the line by Brandon Mebane.
The Rams' defense kept it close for a while and had four sacks, but the offense never made it to the red zone and crossed the 50 only three times.
Bradford has fumbled nine times this season, six of them resulting in turnovers.
''I'm beyond frustrated right now,'' Bradford said. ''I've never been a part of a team that's been in this situation. I don't like it. I'm not going to quit.''
Notes: Rams LB Josh Hull (hamstring) was sidelined early in the first quarter. ... WR Mark Clayton had a fair catch on a punt return for St. Louis after Austin Pettis (knee) was hurt in the second half. ... Former L.A. Rams QB Vince Ferragamo was introduced on the sideline in the first quarter. ... The last Seahawks player to get three sacks was Patrick Kearney Dec. 12, 2007 against Arizona.
