NBCSN's ongoing coverage of the 2013 campaign will continue tonight when the Colorado Avalanche host the Dallas Stars at the Pepsi Center at 9:00 p.m. ET.
If the difference between a bubble team and a serious playoff contender is the ability to scrape together wins even when major players are sidelined, then we're going to learn a lot about the Colorado Avalanche over the coming days and weeks.
For the Avalanche, it's not the quantity of players in the sickbay that's noteworthy, but the quality of them. Forward Steve Downie brought a unique blend of toughness and offensive ability and he's gone for the season, forward Gabriel Landeskog is their captain and reigning Calder Trophy winner and he's dealing with a head injury.
Now defenseman Ryan Wilson, who ranks fourth on the Avalanche in playing time, is out indefinitely due to a knee injury, according to the Denver Post. That's all on top of the absence of 21-year-old restricted free agent Ryan O'Reilly, who is regarded as a great young two-way forward and broke out with 55 points last season.
The Dallas Stars will counter with a team that's relatively healthy despite their own notable string of injuries and absences. Although the excepted return of Derek Roy will not bring their core of forwards back to full strength now that Ray Whitney is on the injured reserve list.
For Dallas the big x-factor is forward Jamie Benn, who missed training camp and the start of the season as a restricted free agent. The negotiations are well behind him, but he has no goals, one assist, and a minus-two rating in four games this season. Dallas needs him to be an offensive leader, but so far that hasn't been the case.
Probable goaltenders: DAL – Kari Lehtonen (3-2-1, 2.62 GAA, .924 SV%) | COL – Semyon Varlamov (2-1-0, 2.41 GAA, .919 SV%)
Top scorers: DAL – Whitney (2-4-6, 8 GP) | COL – Matt Duchene (2-7-9, 8 GP)
Notable Injuries:
Dallas – Forwards: Whitney (foot) Goaltenders: Cristopher Nilstorp (groin)
Colorado – Forwards: David Jones (knee), Landeskog (head), Downie (knee) Defensemen: Wilson (leg)

Stop the negative reporting! You never know who is going to win until both teams play!
It seems like sports reporters today focus more on the negative than positive stories!
- jernster21 - Feb 4, 2013 at 11:19 AM
Chill brah. They're merely describing the challenges each team faces with the injuries they have…
- govtminion - Feb 4, 2013 at 12:22 PM
I just don't see what the Avs are thinking in letting O'Reilly twist in the wind like this. Get a deal done!
- ryanoffski - Feb 4, 2013 at 12:33 PM
No mention of Hejduk's 1000th game?
- ffletch2013 - Feb 5, 2013 at 12:46 AM
This NBCSports TV crew is so one sided for the Avs its rediculous. You would think the Stars are trailing 5-1 instead of leading.

Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.

Is a man not bound to his own skin?
Can we not sneeze without the man who guides our breath?
The moon whispers its haunting glow into the deeps of my eyes, a task only i can achieve has come forth.
Many questions but only one answer.
This flash takes a deep seeded part of my life and brings it forth. Animating was a passion and an addiction. Gaze into the deep sorrowful eyes of Jimmy and feel what he feels. Such a connection is the only way to experience such a trip through the psyche of the lone artist left in a cave...
A cave of truth. And only one thing that will ever leave that place is... Nothing.

My mom and I are going to Disney May 23rd for a quick weekend trip and got a studio at SSR. Which are should I request? I've heard some not great things about the bus service, so does it help to be at the Grandstand and be the first off? Or would it be better to be near the last bus stop? We've never stayed here so all advice would help. Thanks!
Springs is the last stop and is the closest to the rock pool, check in area, store, restaurant, etc. This bus stop can be crowded because many people walk over to the store, etc and then catch the bus from there. Also, because it's the last of 5 stops, the buses are sometimes full if you are going at peak times of the day. Congress Park is the section that provides views of DTD and it's the 4th bus stop. This is probably my favorite section. It is a nice quiet pool and the walk to Springs where all the action is is maybe 5 minutes. We've never had any problems getting a seat on the bus from here. This is the quickest walk to DTD of about 10-15 minutes if that is in your plan. Paddock is the 3rd bus stop and has the new feature pool and counter service. Carousel is 2nd stop and least favorite section because it's the farthest from Springs and there is no pool. Grandstand is first and has a pool and childrens splash area. I have stayed in all but Carousel. Springs is my least favorite because of the crowded bus stops and if you get close to the end where the bus stop/pool is, it's noisy sitting on the balcony. I don't hate it there but given the choice, I'd take another section. I've been happy in all of the other sections and didn't think any was that much better or worse than the other.
Pakey is correct but my favorite spot is the Springs, stayed there a few times. Being close to the pool, dining and everything else SSR offers makes it very convenient. We've never had any problems with the busses so I cant speak to that issue, but they can get crowded. We were never affected by noise so that also was not an issue for us. The walk to DTD is about fifteen minutes (brisk walk) through the golf course bringing you out at Cirque. Very nice walk. Good Luck and I don't see you going wrong with any selection.
My only trip to SSR I also stayed in Springs in a studio. We were on the third floor facing the water with a beautiful view. The only issue we found with the buses is that is the drop-off point for THV as well, so it could get somewhat crowded at peak times, so we always tried to travel at off-peak times and it worked beautifully.
We were in the grandstand with my elderly in laws and it definitely worked in our favor. I would recommend it so long as it doesn't bother you that you have a bit of a walk to the main lobby, restaurants and main pool. There's a quiet pool and splash pad by it.
We prefer the Grandstand with a golf course view. I like the first on and first off aspect as well as the quietness once I got back to my villa. It is a walk to the Carriage House but only took us about 5-7 minutes so we didn't mind. We also could walk to DtD ending up on by Disney Quest pretty easily. Of course I would suggest the boat but we wanted to try the walk

The most relaxed month I have ever experienced.
... delicious food, trying and failing to 'play' with the cat (she doesn't know how to play, only how to attack).
I managed to relax and chill out so easily, it felt great to get writing again, and not feel pressured into doing anything I didn't want to. Loved it.
Would so recommend. 5 stars!

On the grounds there are statues, including the one I mentioned and a native American lifting his hands toward the sky.

No vacancy signs were illuminating the few lodging spots in that town so we loaded up and drove on. Luckily twenty miles ahead, we found a place with a room available, Willow Spring Motel and RV park. The owner greeted us and we felt right at home. The property had been in her family for years.

Mandarin Bay Seafood Replaces Capital Seafood In Rowland Heights
- 1 Comments
- Follow
I think we beat the Yelpers on this one, as I couldn't find any mention of this changeover. I'm not sure whether if this is one of those infamous name changes or a truly new operation, as they are operating off old Capital Seafood menus (which doesn't mean anything in and of itself). Also I hadn't been here in at least 10 years, so I can't tell if anything is different. Almost 100 lunch special items under $7, and I have to say it's a pretty good deal. Adjacent to the 99 Ranch Market, 1015 S. Nogales St., next to Class 302.

-A peice designed to empower the listener, and relax the mind.
-I never play the same piece twice. Because i always make it up as i go along, so i can never remember it.
-I have called it the castle because that is the first thing it made me think of. no deep meaning or secret codes or magical metaphors.
It is not about anything complex.
just a castle... simple. minimal. beautiful.
please acknowledge that this was played live. once. so any mistakes make me human, and the peice more organic. maybe lol. (excuses heehee) thank you for listening and please comment :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great one
The first two minutes reminds me of The Fountain's soundtrack by Clint Mansell, and it is a really big compliment as I'm a big fan of his music.
The rest of the song is also good heh!
Good job!
holy frazzles! igladly take your generous compliment! ;D thanks so much buddy!
i will check out clint mansell now then :D i may like it too! :D thanks man!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
First reviewer!
So like, when you're famous on here and all that good stuff, you're gonna have to remember I was your first reviewer. Ever.
So yeah.
Anyway, on to the actual reviewing part:
A gorgeous piece. Very strong harmonically and although the melody is not always apparent, the song leaves a strong impression on the listener. My advice for forming melodies is to avoid the piano at all costs. The aim of any type of music aimed to resonate with people is to try and replicate the voice. And, not surprisingly, the best way to do that is with your voice. You don't have to be a great or even decent singer, but you want to get a workable, memorable idea.
Fantastic playing as well. If you made any mistakes, I didn't hear them. And although there are no real flaws with interpretation in this piece, some little things I've picked up on in the short time I've played, just some tips from pianist to pianist.
In terms of reaching a tenderness of expression, I never want any tension in my fingers. I also tend to have more of a stroking finger action, often combined with minimal wrist action, that gives a very understated swell to the dynamics.
As for my favorite parts, I absolutely adore the flourish at about 1:30, and I really like the entire song from the 2:00 point onwards.
The only thing is the sound quality, even though it's not all too bad.
Definitely post more of your music!
horay! lol. my first ever review! heehee. i completely agree on the discreet harmony lol. and the sound quality has not been tweaked at all, and i recorded it from my baby grand straight to the computer, but i have learned my lesson lol. my eardrums are aggravated by the constant volume change!
but i will definately try harder to keep my wrists more relaxed, and i will practice stroking the keys more too. although that is a technique i have considered i never really tried it. after reading your review i listened to the music. and heard it in a completely different way... if that makes sence! lol. i can hear more than before.
thank you so much. wish i could give you a more interesting feedback on your review, but im not very smart lol. thanks so much for listening. and i shall post some of my music soon. :D Ciao mein!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Amazing, beautiful, relaxing, peaceful, just aww i could listen to this for hours. i really like it.
thanks matey! i really appreciate the compliments! i am glad you could enjoy this song. it is one of the better ones i submitted. thanks alot ChelsFTW lol.
take care!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
wow there alot of things i could see played
can i ask what you did at 1:07 - 1:11 i want to make a song based upon it
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I could totally imagine a trance/dance remix of...
It would be fucking epic. You're a great pianist bro, and this song really does have quite a mood to it.. It seems like a sad, but calm, but also beautiful sort of thing going on. I really like it.
hehe ! thanks man! i tended to go into a bit of a blind trance with my music, but now i can control my emotions more, i am certainly better than this, considering it was my first song posted ^ ^ thanks dewd! i havent listened to this in months either :D

Merchant Marine Act of 1936
The Merchant Marine Act of 1936 is a United States federal law. Its purpose is "to further the development and maintenance of an adequate and well-balanced American merchant marine, to promote the commerce of the United States, to aid in the national defense, to repeal certain former legislation, and for other purposes."
Specifically, it established the United States Maritime Commission, and required a United States Merchant Marine that:
- can carry all domestic water-borne commerce,
- can carry a substantial portion of foreign commerce,
- can serve as a naval auxiliary in time of war or national emergency,
- is owned and operated under the U.S. flag by U.S. citizens "insofar as may be practicable,"
- is composed of the best-equipped, safest, and most suitable types of vessels,
- consists of vessels constructed in the United States, and
- consists of vessels be manned with a trained and efficient citizen personnel.
The act also established federal subsidies for the construction and operation of merchant ships. Two years after the Act was passed, the U.S. Merchant Marine Cadet Corps, the forerunner to the United States Merchant Marine Academy, was established.
U.S. Representative Schyler O. Bland of Virginia was known as the "father of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936."

However, I think his determination to pass a program that substantially moved the nation in the direction of National Health Insurance was recklessly political and was indicative of a basic mindset that undervalued the benefits available from having a market driven economy. He has complained about the USSC being too political, but the two appointments he has made have given absolutely no basis to conclude that they are anything else than "me, too" liberals. AS opposed to others who thin his term in office has been an absolute disaster, I find nothing really notable in his presidency, just a weak president, coddled by most of the media, and regrettably swayed by the adoration of the sycophants who one would expect o collect around his presidency.

40: The difference between Hawaii's state rank as a place to do business (#41) and its rank in well being of resident (#1)
The best states in which to do business aren't necessarily the best places to live.
The latest issue of Chief Executive magazine ranks the best and worst states to do business based on a survey of 650 CEOs (scroll down for the full list). Respondents were asked to grade states in which they do business in a number of ways, including tax and regulation, quality of work force and living environment. Texas and Florida ranked first and second, respectively.
Texas and Florida also rank highly — third and fourth, respectively — as homes for billionaires, according to Forbes' list of the 400 richest people. But just because a state is good for business, doesn't mean business leaders are making their homes there. California and New York — in last and second-to-last place in the rankings for business — are the first and second most popular places for billionaires to live.
Being good for business also doesn't necessarily mean good for residents. Gallup produces a Well-Being Index for states, which tracks life evaluation, emotional health, physical health, healthy behaviors, work environment and basic access. Among Chief Executive's top ten states for doing business, just one — Utah — is also in the top 10 for well being. Texas ranks 27th and Florida is 41st. Meanwhile, the top ranked state for well being — Hawaii — is in the bottom 10 for states to do business.
CEO sentiment can't be ignored, but perhaps the most important metric for business is how the states rank in economic growth. By that measurement, some of the states popular with chief executives managed to post strong expansions in 2010. Indiana, Tennessee and North Carolina were in both top 10s. But some of the unpopular states posted among the strongest growth. New York, Massachusetts and Oregon were in the bottom 10 places to do business, but the top 10 states for growth.
Attracting business is an important goal for states looking to create opportunities and jobs for their people. They just need to be sure they aren't sacrificing citizens' quality of life to improve the quality of business.

6 second car - Need for Speed ProStreet
6 second car
I have gotten both the Toyota Supra and the Zonda down in under 7 seconds.
All with level 3 parts. First of all you will need to adjust a few settings.
Start off with the engine, follow my other hint to push your car up 100hp.
Then make the rear wheels with as much tread as possible with a large profile and hard suspension. Then drop the pressure below half way,(actually done with real race cars) now make the front tyres considerably smaller with a softer suspension so you can absorb the launch start, then change the direction of the front tyres to point inwards so it is harder to turn but better for the drag strip. Now gears are tricky, you want the gears sorted in an asending order with the 6th gear being the highest. You also what the drag spoiler fully extended. Adjust the NOS setting to be more explosive than lasting
As for the actual drag race you want to hit perfect launches all the way down, easier said than done but to beat 7 seconds you need to.
Around 2nd and 3rd gear hit NOS and that should take you through to 5th gear. The hard part is keeping your car in a straight line when you come down from the launch, which I have no real advice for.
Then pick your favourite track and your favourite side, as it does make a difference, and max out the burn out and then try and try.

US 4918904 A Abstract A packaging system comprises a first bag portion defining an inflated first chamber and a second bag portion defining an inflated second chamber with the bag portions overlying each other to define a pocket therebetween having an article compressed and retained therein. The bag portions are pivotally connected together at a rearward side of the system and overlying edge portions of the bag portions are heat-sealed together at opposite lateral sides of the packaging system. The frontal side of the packaging system is open to permit insertion of the article into the pocket whereafter the packaging system is preferably inflated with a pressurized fluid, such as air, to compress superimposed panels of the bag portions against the article to retain it within the pocket.
Claims(6) 1. A method for forming a packaging system comprising the steps of
forming a package to define a first bag portion superimposed over a second bag portion thereof with each of said first and second bag portions defining an inflatable chamber therein, including forming at least one seam transversely across said first and second bag portions to define at least one passage between said first and second bag portions inter-communicating the inflatable chambers thereof, securing overlying side edge portions of said bag portions together at opposite lateral sides thereof to define an article-retaining pocket therebetween and to expose said pocket on only one side of said package. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said forming step comprises forming said package from overlying inner and outer pairs of superimposed panels with each of said inner panels forming a said inflatable chamber with a respective and overlying one of said outer panels.
3. The method of claim 2 further comprising at least substantially filling each said chamber with a filler medium.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said forming step includes forming a single seam transversely across said first and second bag portions.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein said forming step comprises forming a pair of said seams in longitudinally spaced relationship transversely across said first and second bag portions.
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising securing inflating means to at least one of said first and second bag portions for filling each said chamber with a filler medium.
Description This application is a Divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/262,537 filed on Oct. 25, 1988 for "CLAM-LIKE PACKAGING SYSTEM" now U.S. Pat. No. 4,874,093 which in turn, is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 89,228, filed on Aug. 25, 1987, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,872,558 by Daniel A. Pharo for "Bag-In-Bag Packaging System and Method." This invention relates generally to a packaging system and method and more particularly to an inflatable package having a clam-like configuration adapted to compress and retain an article therein. U.S. Pat. No. 4,597,244, issued on July 1, 1986 to Daniel A. Pharo for "Method for Forming An Inflated Wrapping," discloses a packaging system and method wherein an article is packaged within an inflated, sealed bag. The present invention provides certain improvements and variations over the packaging system and method taught in the above patent. The improved packaging system of this invention comprises overlying first and second bag portions pivotally connected together at a rearward side of the packaging system. Overlying edge portions of the bag portions are secured together at opposite lateral sides of the packaging system with the bag portions remaining unattached to each other at a frontal side of the packaging system to expose the pocket therebetween. Inflating means are preferably provided on the packaging system to at least partially fill the bag portions with a filler medium, such as pressurized air, to compress the bag portions against an article retained in the pocket. In carrying forth the method of this invention, a package is first formed to define at least one chamber therein adapted to contain the filler medium, the package is folded to form superimpose the bag portions, and lateral sides of the bag portions are secured together to define the pocket for subsequent retention of the article therein. Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description and accompany drawings wherein: FIG. 1 is an isometric view illustrating a frontal side of a packaging system embodying this invention; FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the packaging system, taken in the direction of arrows II--II in FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a pre-fabricated package adapted to be formed into the packaging system; and FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the package. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a packaging system 10 comprising an upper or first bag portion 11 overlying a lower or second bag portion 12 to define a pocket 13 therebetween. Bag portions 11 and 12 define expandable and inflatable chambers 14 and 15 therein, respectively, whereby an article A is compressed between the bag portions to retain it in a fixed position within the packaging system. An intermediate or third bag portion 16 is pivoted on either side thereof to the first and second bag portions at heat-sealed seams 18 to thus provide hinge means pivotally connecting the bag portions together at a rearward side of the packaging system. The opposite lateral sides of the packaging system are closed by overlying side edge portions 19 and 20 (FIG. 3) of the bag portions that are sealed together to form side seams 21 and 22, respectively. End edge portions 23 and 24 remain unattached to each other at the frontal side of the packaging system to expose pocket 13 which is adapted to receive article A therein when the packaging system is at least partially deflated. Inflating means, shown in the form of a valve 25 such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,586,910, is shown secured on bag portion 11 to selectively communicate a filler medium to intercommunicating chambers 14 and 15, as described more fully hereinafter. FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate a pre-fabricated package adapted to form packaging system 10. The package comprises a pair of superimposed, generally rectangular and coextensive panels 26 and 27 heat-sealed together at longitudinally spaced and parallel seams 18, formed transversely across the panels and between longitudinally spaced ends thereof. The seams, as shown in FIG. 3, each terminate short of side edge portions 19 and 20 of the package. This arrangement thus provides passages between overlying portions of panel 26, intercommunicating chambers 14, 15 and 17 when the package is formed by side seams 21 and 22 into packaging system 10 (FIGS. 1 and 2). It should be understood that additional seams of this type could be utilized or a single seam, formed intermediate the ends of the package as illustrated by dot-dash line 28 in FIG. 3, could be utilized to provide various hinge connections at the rearward side of the packaging system. Panels 26 and 27 can be preformed as separate sheets that are heat-sealed together, entirely about the peripheries of the panels, to form side edge portions or seams 19 and 20 and end edge portions or seams 23 and 24. Alternatively, a single sheet of material can be folded laterally over itself and a single seam 19 or 20, along with the end seams. Also, the package can be formed from a seamless tube of material (eliminating both seams 19 and 20) heat-sealed at end seams 23 and 24. The sheet material composing the package may comprise a gas-impervious composite laminate, such as the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,597,244. For example, each flexible panel comprising the package may be composed of an intermediate layer of aluminum and outer and inner layers of a plastic heat-sealable coating, such as polyethylene, adapted to reactivate (melt) in the range of 300 F. These types of composite laminates (which may be constructed to be highly flexible and inextensible or extensible) are well known in the art, and, therefore, further description thereof is unnecessary for a full understanding of this invention. Further, the panels may be suitably cut and sealed together by conventional apparatus and methods, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,545,844. Once the package illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 has been prefabricated, the package is folded to superimpose bag portion 11 over bag portion 12, as illustrated in FIG. 2. Overlying side edge portions 19 are then heat-sealed (or mechanically secured together by a standard adhesive, stitching, etc.) and opposite side edge portions 20 are also secured together in this manner to form side seams 21 and 22, respectively. The deflated package is thus adapted to have article A (FIG. 2) inserted through the open frontal side of the packaging system and into pocket 13. After the article has been inserted, a standard inflation apparatus, including a fill tube 29 (FIG. 1), can be utilized to charge and pressurize intercommunicating chambers 14, 15 and 17 to an inflation pressure exceeding ambient pressure, e.g., exceeding 14.7 psi at sea level. Alternatively, human lung power could be utilized to inflate the chambers with air. Other types of gases, such as helium, could be utilized as a filler medium, as well as a suitable liquid, such as water. Alternatively or in addition to pressurized fluid, the chamber could be filled with a plastic material (e.g., urethane, polystyrene, etc.) material in solid (injected in liquid form and solidified) or pieces (e.g., balls or pellets) form. Should it prove desirable to fill the chambers with a solid filler medium to the type described above, it may prove desirable to pre-pack such filler medium into the chambers prior to forming one or more of edge portions or seams 19, 20, 23 and 24 or to provide a separate inflating means or valve for communicating the filler medium to each chamber individually. In such an application, each seam 18 could be extended the full width of the package (FIG. 3) to place the chambers out of communication in respect to each other. Other modifications can be made to the package and completed packaging system of this invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, as will be apparent to those skilled in the arts relating hereto.

Recently, it was proposed that alternative splicing may act as a mechanism for opening accelerated paths of evolution, by reducing negative selection pressure, but there has been little evidence so far whether this could produce adaptive benefit. Here we employ metrics of very different types of selection pressures (e.g. against amino acid mutations (Ka/Ks); against mutations at synonymous sites (Ks); and for protein reading-frame preservation) to address this question via genome-wide analyses of human, chimpanzee, mouse, and rat. These data show that alternative splicing relaxes Ka/Ks selection pressure up to seven-fold, but intriguingly that this effect is accompanied by a strong increase in selection pressure against synonymous mutations, which propagates into the adjacent intron, and correlates strongly with the alternative splicing level observed for each exon. These effects are highly local to the alternatively spliced exon. Comparisons of these four genomes consistently show an increase in the density of amino acid mutations (Ka) in alternatively spliced exons, and a decrease in the density of synonymous mutations (Ks). This selection pressure against synonymous mutations in alternatively spliced exons was accompanied in all four genomes by a striking increase in selection pressure for protein reading-frame preservation, and both increased markedly with increasing evolutionary age. Restricting our analysis to a subset of exons with strong evidence for biologically functional alternative splicing produced identical results. Thus alternative splicing apparently can create evolutionary "hotspots" within a protein sequence, and these events have evidently been selected for during mammalian evolution.

shakennstirred June 11, 2013 1:34 PM if he wants to win a TT he needs to leave suzuki Reply Report abuse 19 agree 4 disagree
Roundiniho June 11, 2013 5:19 PM All well and good saying he needs a Honda, the last time he had one of them he launched it at the scenery at 170mph. Reply Report abuse 4 agree 2 disagree
samh June 12, 2013 7:15 AM Last Edited 682 days ago I'm sure it's a great team, after all they won the british supersport championship a couple of years back and also came very close to winning bsb last year. They just need suzuki to release a brand new gsxr to stand any real chance of winning. Reply Report abuse 6 agree 3 disagree
OzPom June 29, 2013 12:49 AM If you stick Michael Dunlop on the Suzuki he would win, time is running out for Guy. but I hope he does get that lucky break. Reply Report abuse 5 agree 0 disagree

Keydel, Wolfgang (2007) Perspectives for future SAR Antenna Developement. Wave Propagation in Communication, Microwaves Systems and Navigation (WFMN), 2007-07-04 - 2007-07-05, Chemnitz (Germany).

Goal of the paper is to present the expected development of future antennas for space borne SAR based on the state-of-the-art and to point out under that aspect some perspectives and visions for future space borne SAR systems. Future space borne SAR systems will consist mainly of the antenna with a small number of peripheral elements only, like solar cells, GPS, power supply, downlink equipment etc.. The present spaceborne SAR Antenna will mutate to a complete Antenna SAR that means a SAR which is primary an antenna where all radar components inclusive the AD-Converter and the image processing computer are integrated. A substantial step to an Antenna-SAR is the expected progress in miniaturization shown in a respective roadmap. The miniaturization will drastically reduce the mass and volume of the antenna including the RF system down to 10 % of the today's value. Ultra-light-weight antennas with large structural components, such as deployable or inflatable booms, and membranes with very low power consumption will be available during the next decade. For a senor fleet in space consisting of many satellites in a well known and controlled formation flight each satellite receiver (and transmitter respectively) may be considered as a single element of a very large DBF-Array. For airborne SAR the antenna dimensions are limited due to the size and shape of the platform. Here digital beam forming allows to form small sub arrays to a conformal array, a so called smart skin. For the next two decades broadband arrays are expected which are able to share between SAR, other radars, forward looking radar for example, electronic support as well as electronic countermeasures, and communication purposes. This will increase the effectiveness and the applicability of future SAR systems by reducing the overall mass, volume, and cost which are indispensable requirements for the future.

Rachel says:
We had this swing and loved it.. but felt it was a little 'fast' for a newborn. For the first 3 months I draped a blanket over it so it would drag and not be so fast. Even though I loved it, I will get another one next time because having to put the blanket over it was annoying. Maybe mine was just super powered, but it's a great swing for after they are tiny!
Alescia says:
Super swing, life saver. My Little One loved it as a newborn and still loves it as a six month old infant. This is a great deal!
Audra says:
This is on sale at Target for $155. (I know- that's $56 more) BUT- order online and you get the Fisher-Price Deluxe Bouncer – My Little SnugaMonkey for free. (Normally $65). Plus go through ebates and get cash back. Plus if you have a Target credit card you get 5% off. Plus it's free shipping. However- they are on backorder right now so it will take a bit to get.

My price was $150.46 after tax. Amazons price for both of the snuggabunny pattern for me was $166.48 -
rachel says:
We have this swing – and the matching bouncy seat, rock n play sleeper, and activity gym. Of all the items, the swing gets the most use. Our daughter is three months old now and she will sit in it and entertain herself for a good 20-25 minutes! I only wish the music and mobile didn't time out…but I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. We bought ours for $80 on Craigslist and it was worth every penny.
Diane says:
Thanks! I bought it for my daughter-in-law's shower. She registered for it and my daughter has it too. It's a beautiful swing.
Jen says:
Lifesaver for us, too! Can't rave enough about it!
Renae says:
Because Target price matches Amazon…do you think you could price match the swing and still get the bouncer in store?
kim says:
does anyone know what the weight limit on this is? my lo is about to turn 6moand probably weighs about almost 18 lbs. he LOVES the swing at daycare and i thought about buying one for the house, but I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to use it too long. tia!
Kimberly says:
The weight limit is 25lbs.
Katie says:
Has anyone seen any current deals on this swing?

Nice, but… THAT MUSIC is doing my head in!!

Select Local Merchants
Art Heads Custom FramingRead MoreThe designers at Art Heads Custom Framing preserve portraits, paintings, collectibles, and family heirlooms. These aesthetic experts?who recently framed a pair of gloves formerly inhabited by Marilyn Monroe's hands?consult with clients to customize a frame based on clients' display preferences, the significance of the memorabilia, and whether soon-to-be-framed items might attempt escape. Using these designations, clients draw inspiration from more than 3,000 frame samples to craft frames that include such touches as decorative mouldings and UV-resistant glass.1506 SE 50th AvePortland, OR US
Frame CentralRead MoreFrame Central, where the upbeat, fun-loving staff works alongside customers preserving their artwork and keepsakes. Frame Central prides itself on its expedient one-day framing. Staffers have devoted years to learning how to craft custom frames fast without sacrificing quality. For one thing, they keep all their materials on hand, saving on time spent sending off for special orders. For another, customers can design and make the frames themselves or meet staffers halfway by allowing them to professionally cut the materials for easy home assembly.1238 NW Davis St.Portland, OR US
Beard's Framing (Old)Read MoreWhen it was founded in 1987, Frame Central was a social hub for artists, and was even curiously named for facial hair. However, Beard Outlet has since morphed into a seven-location franchise, dedicated to simplifying the framing process. The shops' onsite stock of matboard, frame moulding, and other key supplies ensures speedy DIY framing projects—which visitors can complete in an hour—and single-day professional framing. An array of pre-framed mirrors and artwork allows shoppers to enhance their blank walls without taping a napping friend to them. Shoppers can also stock up on framing supplies such as case glass and hanging hardware.2219 Northwest Allie AvenueHillsboro, OR US
A. Lindahl CreationsRead MoreThough they began as hobbies, art and photography had become focal points for Amanda Lindahl-Lemke by college. After six years studying both subjects stateside—with a stint at art school in Florence, Italy, in between—Amanda made the leap to the pros with A. Lindahl Creations. Whether clicking away in her studio or on location, she primarily photographs newborns and children, all adorably posed in color and black-and-white prints that subvert expectations through her use of props and surreal backdrops. Before her sessions even begin, Amanda discusses expectations and aesthetic preferences with her clients and takes time to forge bonds with each child, expectant mother, or family she photographs. The warm, hands-on approach earned her the "Friendliest Family Photographer" spot in "Red Tricycle's" Totally Awesome Awards, which led to "Blue Tricycle's" subsequent Even More Awesomer Than Your Awards Awards: No Tag-Backs Edition. After their shoot, clients can share a private online gallery with family and friends or peruse it for the images they want to preserve as prints.17 SE 3rd AvePortland, OR US
Portland Picture FrameRead MoreThe owner-artists at Portland Picture Frame summon a combined three decades of experience as they nestle paintings, photos, kids' art, tickets, and other wall cargo into custom-assembled frames. The store?s professional designers consult with customers to begin the decision-making process, choosing from hundreds of frames and mats, including deep shadow boxes, filigreed gold, mat-black finishes, and artfully arranged lincoln logs. Glass can also be customized, with options from regular clear to museum quality. Portland Picture Frame's staff also applies their expertise when meticulously restoring art. Their trained eyes offer complimentary in-home or office consultations in the Portland metro area.2805 Southeast Holgate BoulevardPortland, OR US
The Loaded BrushRead MoreOn a typical afternoon, artist and owner of The Loaded Brush Aaron Ziobrowski brainstorms ideas for new paintings between planning each part of the classes he holds at his BYOB art studio. The prompts he's created for his students included a reproduction of Starry Night, which depicts the dogs playing poker that were erased from the original. Natural light floods into the studio through tall windows, and tarps cover surfaces so that paintbrushes can move without worry. Although aprons are provided, students should wear old clothes or full-body canvases in the event of a paint splatter.5538 Southeast 22nd AvenuePortland, OR US

"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." - Woodrow Wilson
We are a class of Southwest Employees who have come together to grow as professional adults. As part of that growth, we are giving back to the community through fundraising and volunteerism.
The organization we have chosen to support, Shared Housing Center, helps provide shelter for the homeless in Dallas - they believe that a home is more than just a roof and four walls. Please help us create a comfortable environment for these families and children who have nothing.
Shared Housing Center was created in 1984 to provide and facilitate affordable housing options. Their mission is to offer housing options and supportive services that foster independence, empowerment, and self-worth and to serve a multicultural, intergenerational population. Since the organization's inception, they have offered housing and services to critically at-risk populations -- older adults, single parents with young children, and persons with special needs -- seeking to elevate themselves from homeless and near homeless situations to lifestyles of relative self-sufficiency.

Large Deflection Performance of Surface Micromachined Corrugated Diaphragms
Mullem, C.J. van and Gabriel, K.J. and Fujita, H. (1991) Large Deflection Performance of Surface Micromachined Corrugated Diaphragms. In: International Conference on Solid-State Sensors and Actuators, Digest of Technical Papers, TRANSDUCERS, San Fransisco, USA, 1991 (pp. pp. 1014-1017).
366kB |
Abstract: | The large deflection performance was measured and modeled for its dependence on diaphragm geometries and corrugation parameters. Corrugated polyimide diaphragms of various diameters, corrugation frequencies, and thicknesses were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Current models correctly described the observed increase in deflection from corrugated diaphragms compared to deflections in flat diaphragms at equivalent loads. The models are extended with the definition of the transition deflection which delineates the transition between the small and large deflection regions. The range of corrugation quality factors available in surface micromachined diaphragms is determined, and predicted load-deflection curves are compared to measurements |
