A method of displaying continuously acquired measurement data in a display with a fixed number of pixels is provided. Measurement data is provided at a predetermined fixed sample rate independent of a pixel rate which is equal to or less than the sample rate. The measurement data is convened to pixel data which includes the minimum, maximum, and the average of the measurement data gathered and the pixel data is plotted to the pixels at a pixel rate. At the end of the fixed number of pixels of the display, the pixel values are compressed to half the fixed number of pixels and the pixel rate is halved, thereby doubling the time scale. This process can continue indefinitely, requiring no operator intervention or prior knowledge to set a total measurement time. Furthermore, the sample rate is independent of the pixel rate so that a tradeoff of sample rate and total measurement time need not be made.

This invention relates generally to methods of graphically displaying data and specifically to a method for graphically displaying a stream of continuously acquired measurement data using a display with a fixed number of graphical display elements.
Graphical representation of electrical signals over time is a particularly important tool for analysis and troubleshooting. Electrical signals may include simple voltages, such as a.c. (alternating current) power line voltage and current, as well as the output of sensors that measure physical phenomena such as temperature, pressure, acceleration, or physical position, among others. A graphical history of the measured signal provides the user with valuable insight into the behavior of the electrical signal over time, by observing both long term trends and short-term transitory events. For example, power line voltage can be monitored over a twenty four hour period to observe its long term stability while detecting short-term surges and drop-outs.
A variety of instrumentation has been developed to measure electrical signals and display the measurements in graphical form. Strip chart recorders have been used for many years for the task of monitoring of electrical signals over an extended period of time. The selection of recorder speed and the available supply of chart paper determined the length of time the electrical signal could be monitored while the analog bandwidth of the chart recorder amplifier and d'Arsonval meter movement determined the shortest transitory event that could be detected. Analog oscilloscopes, on the other hand, were designed for displaying relatively fast, repetitive waveforms on a cathode ray tube but have generally not been effective at monitoring long-term trends since their ability to store traces and provide a permanent record is limited to taking successive photographs of the oscilloscope screen or repetitively recording the signal data by hand.
Strip chart recorders have largely given way to data acquisition systems, which digitize the electrical signals and store the measurement information as digital data in computer memory. The signal is "sampled" by converting the signal voltage at a designed time into discrete measurement values as represented by digital measurement data using an analog-to-digital converter ("ADC"). Data acquisition systems are often comprised of specialized data acquisition boards that deliver the measurement data to a personal computer ("PC"). The data acquisition board digitizes the input signal and the PC handles the tasks of data collection, storage, and display. Because of fundamental limitations in the amount of data storage available in a PC, the PC-based data acquisition system faces many of the same time limitations of the original strip chart recorder. Instead of chart speed, the user must select a measurement sample rate. A faster sample rate yields higher time resolution measurements but consumes memory at a faster rate. For example, a user hoping to measure a power line signal over a 24 hour period using a data acquisition system with a capacity for storing 240,000 readings may use a sample rate up to 2.8 readings per second. Transient events that occur between samples will be missed entirely. Conversely, increasing the sample rate to capture the fast transient events results in a shorter total measurement time which reduces the ability to capture long term trends.
Analog oscilloscopes have, in turn, largely given way to digital storage oscilloscopes ("DSO's") which are optimized to sample signals much faster than a typical data acquisition system. This increased speed comes at a price of more limited waveform memory depth and fewer bits of voltage resolution. Sampling a signal at a rate fast enough to capture the amplitude of a fast transient signal of interest could quickly exhaust the waveform memory. U.S. Pat No. 4,271,486 "Waveform Storage System" to Dagostino et al. and assigned to Tektronix, Inc., discloses a system by which the sampling rate of the ADC of the instrument is independent of the sweep speed, allowing the ADC to sample as fast as necessary to capture the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the input signal that occur over a selected measurement period. Because the measurement values are not stored unless they fall outside of either of the extremes, the measurement period is unconstrained by the availability of memory because each measurement value produced by the ADC is immediately compared with the current minimum and maximum values maintained with no need for later processing of that measurement value. Subsequently, the measurement value is discarded. Each maximum and minimum value is stored in a respective waveform memory address which corresponds with a graphical display element called a "pixel" of the displayed waveform. Pixels are filled, meaning a memory element in waveform memory is filled with pixel information, at a pixel rate and the total measurement period becomes the total number of pixels divided by the pixel rate. The total measurement period must therefore be determined prior to starting the measurement and no provision is made for maintaining an average of the measurement values.
Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a method of displaying continuously acquired measurement values on a display with a fixed number of pixels which allows for the automatic setting of the time scale such that collected pixel information is compressed into a fraction of the total display as the last pixel is reached, perpetually providing room for new pixel information to be displayed without requiring operator intervention. Pixels are plotted at a sweep rate that is independent of the sample rate. Furthermore, it would be desirable that an average value as well as a minimum value and a maximum value be included in the pixel information and that the compression operation be conducted in such a manner that the minimum, maximum, and average values remain valid.
In accordance with the present invention, a method of displaying continuously acquired data in a fixed number of pixels is provided. In a measuring instrument, the data represents measurement values which are acquired at a sample rate by an ADC. Independent of the sample rate, an input pixel is calculated at a pixel rate less than or equal to the sample rate. Each pixel represents a time element in a time-ordered display and is a graphical representation of the dam stored in a corresponding memory location in the waveform memory. The sample rate and pixel rate are independent and, because no post processing is required of the measurement, it need not be stored individually for later analysis. The measurement values may be processed as fast as necessary, limited by the maximum sampling speed of the ADC and by processing speed of the microprocessor, to capture the waveform characteristics of interest with no missing time periods. As each measurement value is collected, the microprocessor compares the measurement value to the current minimum and maximum values for that pixel and, if the value is a new minimum or maximum value, the microprocessor stores the value as the respective new minimum or maximum value. An average may be calculated at any time by maintaining a running total of all collected measurement values as well as the number of measurement values collected and simply dividing the sum by the number of measurement values. In this way, there are no practical limitations imposed by the availability of data storage on the number of measurement data points that may be collected per pixel.
As each pixel is plotted, the vertical scale of the graphical plot is adjusted if necessary to fully display all pixel information across the display in the maximum number of available vertical pixels. Automatic vertical scaling ensures that the pixel information is displayed in the same scale across the display and is at all times viewable by the operator with no manual intervention to adjust the vertical scale.
As the last pixel in the trace is reached at the end of a complete sweep, the time scale is doubled to twice that of the previous sweep. First, the pixel information previously collected and stored in waveform memory are compressed into the first half of the total available waveform memory. Each memory location contains information that maps into a particular pixel. Second, the newly freed memory locations in the second half of the waveform memory are then available for displaying new pixel information but the pixel rate is now halved so that it matches the effective pixel rate of the previously acquired and now compressed pixels. In a given sweep, therefore, the number of measurement data points used to calculate a pixel, whether currently acquired or compressed, remains constant which allows continuously acquired measurement data to be automatically accommodated over an ever increasing measurement time while maintaining the same time scale for each pixel to provide a useful time series display of the collected measurement for the operator.
No information is lost in the compression process, with each pixel containing the minimum, maximum, and avenge information collected from the measurement values. As two adjacent pixels are compressed into one, the minimum of the two minimum values and the maximum of the two maximum values become the combined minimum and maximum for the new pixel. Similarly, the average of the two pixel avenges is taken which yields the combined average. Compressing the pixel information in this way yields precisely the same minimum, maximum, and avenge values that would have been calculated from the measurement data had the two pixel been combined first before calculating the minimum, maximum, and average of the individual pixels. As can be discerned, the information contained in compressed pixels is equivalent to that of a currently acquired pixel both in the number of measurement values represented in the calculation and also in the results of the processing of the information.
One object of the present invention is to provide a method of displaying continuously acquired measurement data with automatic time scaling that accommodates measurement periods of indefinite length.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of displaying continuously acquired measurement data that compresses previously acquired pixels to free up pixels for newly acquired measurement data while maintaining a constant time scale between compressed pixels and newly acquired pixels.
An additional object of the present invention is to provide a method of displaying continuously acquired measurement data that compresses previously acquired pixel information in a manner that retains the validity of the information and maintains a constant number of measurement values per pixel across the display.
Other features, attainments, and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon a reading of the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of a typical measurement system;
FIG. 2 is a timing diagram showing the relationship of the pixel rates and the sample rate;
FIG. 3 is an illustration of the method of displaying continuously acquired measurement data according to the present invention;
FIG. 4 is an illustration of the compression process as done in waveform memory; and
FIG. 5 shows a commercial embodiment of the present invention that simultaneously displays the minimum, maximum, and average values on an LCD display.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a simplified block diagram of a measurement instrument 5 which is adapted for measuring, collecting, and displaying input signal information. An input signal is coupled to an input terminal 10 which is coupled to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 12 which converts the voltage level of the input signal to a digital measurement value responsive to a sample clock 14 coupled to a sample clock input of the ADC 12. The input signal, generally a voltage signal, may be derived from pressure, temperature, velocity, acceleration, or any of variety of other physical phenomena which need to be analyzed for long-term trends and short-term stability. Other sources of measurement data, such as time or frequency data from a frequency counter instrument, are equally appropriate for the present invention. The measurement data from the ADC 12 is coupled to a microprocessor 16 which converts the measurement data directly to pixel information which is stored in a pixel register 18 which contains the measurement information relevant to the current pixel being calculated. A pixel corresponds with a discrete memory location containing various measurement information of the input signal collected from a series of continuously acquired measurement values over a known time period associated with that pixel period. The present invention includes the minimum measured value, the maximum measured value, and the average of all the measured values among the pixel information.
The digital measurement values arrive at the microprocessor 16 at a sample rate governed by the sample clock 14 which is generally controllable by the user. As each measurement value is received by the microprocessor 16, the microprocessor 16 compares the measurement value with the minimum value and the maximum value stored in the pixel register 18. If the measured value is less than the stored minimum value or greater than the stored maximum value, the microprocessor 16 replaces the respective stored value with the measured value. In the preferred embodiment, the sample clock 14 is generally constant but subject to minor variations in the time between samples because of various system constraints such as the load on the microprocessor 16. The average is calculated by the following formula: ##EQU1## where the elapsed pixel time is the total time taken to calculate the old average and t is the elapsed time from the last measurement. The old average, elapsed pixel time and elapsed time from the last measurement are maintained in the pixel register. When the pixel information is to be sent to a waveform memory 20, the new average is calculated using the above equation. This equation is a weighted-average function that takes into account the variations in the time t between samples. Alternatively, if the time t were always constant, the new average may be calculated by the simpler formula: ##EQU2## As each measured value arrives, it is then summed with all of the previous measured values and the sum is stored in the pixel register 18. The number of measured values so far accumulated is incremented and stored in the pixel register 18. In this way, an average of the measurement values may be calculated at any point by dividing the sum of the measurement values by the number of measurement values. By immediately processing each measurement value, the burden and expense of storing each measurement value in discrete memory for later analysis is removed. At the pixel rate, the contents of the pixel register 18 are calculated and mined into pixel information and then transferred by the microprocessor 16 to the waveform memory 20. The pixel register 18 and the waveform memory 20 may reside in the same physical memory but at different addresses. A display 22 reads the values stored in the waveform memory 20 and converts the values to a corresponding graphical display. The display 22 may consist of any form of conventional computer display and use a variety of graphing and plotting routines well known in the art to display data stored in memory. It will be obvious that display 22 may consist of a self contained subsystem with its own microprocessor or be merely a rudimentary display device that depends on microprocessor 16 and graphics algorithms well known in the art.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown a timing diagram that illustrates the relationship between pixel rates of successive sweeps. The pixel rates are generated by the microprocessor 16 which contains an internal timing routine in firmware that generates the timing signals as shown by keeping track of the current sweep number. The sample clock can operate at a rate independent of the pixel rate if desired but synchronization between the pixel rate and sample rate may be desirable. If the sample rate and pixel rate operate asynchronously, the number of measurement data points for any particular pixel has a plus or minus one uncertainty. For example, a first pixel may be calculated using 301 collected data points while the following pixel may be calculated with only 299 collected data points. A separate clock circuit for timing the pixel rate may also be employed. In the preferred embodiment, the sample rate was made to operate synchronously with the pixel rate to eliminate the plus or minus one point uncertainty because the first sweep involved only two measurement values per pixel. As the first sweep ends, the pixel rate is for second sweep to produce a new pixel rate, resulting in twice as many measurement values being processed to yield the pixel information. The number of measurement values per pixel continues to double on each successive sweep, thus causing the effective time scale to double on each sweep. The sample rate of the preferred embodiment is four measurements per second. The pixel rate is two pixels per second for a total time of 120 seconds for the first sweep. The second sweep is 240 seconds total, the third sweep is 480 seconds total, and so on. Two measurement values are used for each pixel in the first sweep, four measurement values in the second, eight measurement values in the third, and so on.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a simulated waveform display such as would appear on the display 22 responsive to the contents of the waveform memory 20 which illustrates the present invention in operation over four successive sweeps. Only a single trace, which plots only one type of pixel information such as an average, is shown for simplicity but multiple traces, such as the maximum and minimum, may also be included. The first sweep occurs over a measuring time 0 to T. As the measurement continues from T to 2T, the display is adjusted to a horizontal time scale of 0 to 2T to accommodate the longer time, first by compressing the pixel information gathered over the first period T into the pixels on the first half of the display. Second, the pixel rate is halved and pixel information continues to accumulate and is plotted to free pixels starting at the midpoint of the display. As the measurement continues from 2T to 4T, the display is again adjusted, now to a horizontal time scale of 0 to 4T in a similar manner. The pixel information gathered over the first and second sweeps are thus preserved but at an attendant loss in time resolution. As the measurement continues from 4T to 8T, the display is again adjusted as before. In this way, the method of displaying continuously acquired measurement values according to the present invention can operate over an indefinite measurement time period.
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown a simplified flow diagram of the compression process involving the pixel information stored in the waveform memory 20 which is shown in FIG. 1. Each location of the waveform memory 20 corresponds to a pixel that is plotted to the display 22. The compression ratio is the ratio of the number of old pixels to the number of new compressed pixels. A compression ratio of 2 to 1 means that the pixel information displayed in a certain number of pixels will be compressed into half as many pixels, with the other half becoming free pixels which can be used to display newly acquired pixel information. Compressing pixels is a mathematical operation involving the pixel information stored in the waveform memory 20. Compressing the pixels into the first half of the display involves combining the pixel information contained in adjacent pixels, such as pixels 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and so on in an operation 24 labeled COMPRESS. The operation 24 is performed multiple times until the original n pieces of pixel information are compressed into n/2 pixels. The operation 24 is performed by the microprocessor 16 and the same memory 20 may be employed for storing the newly compressed pixel information. The nature of the operation 24 to perform the compression while maintaining the validity of the compressed information depends on the type of pixel information being compressed. In the preferred embodiment, the microprocessor 16 compares the maximum values stored in the waveform memory 20 for each pixel and selects the largest one which is then stored in the memory location of the first pixel. Similarly, the microprocessor 16 compares the minimum values stored in the waveform memory 20 for each pixel and selects the lowest one which is then stored in the memory location of the first pixel. Finally, the microprocessor 16 performs an average of the two average values stored in the waveform memory 20 for each pixel and stores the combined average value in the memory location of the first pixel. The compressed information remains valid because the operation 24 does not affect the way the information is calculated. For example, taking the maximum of the two maximums yields the same result for a given set of measurement values regardless of the number of intervening compression operations.
The compressed pixel information from pixels 3 and 4 is stored in the memory location corresponding to pixel 2 and so on until the n pixels have been compressed into n/2 pixels. For simplicity, n is assumed to be an even number. The compressed pixel information contained in the waveform memory 20 is now plotted on the display 22. Newly calculated pixel information continues to be plotted, starting at the midpoint of the display and using the free pixels created by the compression operation. The pixel rate of the newly acquired pixels is reduced according to the compression ratio to match the equivalent pixel rate of the compressed pixels. With a compression ratio of 2 to 1, the pixel rate is reduced to one half its value for the newly acquired pixels following a compression operation.
Referring now to FIG. 5, there is shown the output of a typical display in which the minimum, maximum, and average values are plotted simultaneously and in such a way as to impart useful information to the user. The vertical axis represents the measurement value for the pixel information with units that depend on the nature of the measurement information. The horizontal axis is in units of time and the time scale is a function of the total elapsed time of the measurement. The pixels are plotted from left to right, the rightmost pixel being the most recently acquired. The long term trend of the measurement values is shown by visually inspecting the graph of the average. The short term stability of the measurement values for any pixel measurement period can be quickly determined by observing the minimum and maximum values for any given pixel. The shading which connects the maximum and minimum values serves to provide an "envelope" which allows the user to quickly develop an understanding of the short term stability of the data over time by visually interpreting the width of the envelope for any given pixel. The amplitude scale is adjusted as required to fully display all the pixel information with the maximum amount of vertical pixel resolution possible. Such techniques of vertical amplitude scaling are well known in the art. The preferred embodiment uses a display 22 which consists of a dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) consisting of 240 pixels and associated driver circuitry which requires a separate microprocessor to perform the necessary graphics plotting functions. The shading is accomplished by the use of an LCD display that provides for both half and full brightness characters. Such shading may be accomplished by many other methods of creating contrast, including the use of different colors or shading patterns.
It will be obvious to those having ordinary skill in the art that many changes may be made in the details of the above described preferred embodiments of the invention without departing from the spirit of the invention in its broader aspects. For example, other compression ratios such as 3 to 1 instead of 2 to 1 may be used as needed. Pixel information may include other types and functions that are amenable to compression while remaining substantially valid regardless of the number of times the pixel information is compressed. Any type of continuously acquired data, whether from an analog or a digital source, whether or not derived from physical phenomenon, that requires a visual display of its value will benefit from this display method. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be determined by the following claims.

After nearly two years on the shelves, synthetic weed is finally going away for good. State lawmakers failed to stem the tide, and now the federal government has stepped in, issuing a temporary emergency ban on all fake pot that will start at the end of the month and run at least a year -- or as long as it takes for them to figure our just what the long-term effects of the chemicals might be.
So with one month left to stock up, is it worth your time an money to invest in Syn? Currently the most popular of dozens of variations on K2 (the faux-reefer that started it all) Syn racks up thousands of dollars in sales every day for metro shops, including the subject of this week's feature, the Coffee Wonk ("Buzz Factory") Can thousands of stoners be wrong, or should you get a bag of Syn while the getting is good? For the last time, The Pitch Action News Team smokes up for you.
Our testers used one pack of zig-zag rolling papers and 3 gram bags of the Syn incense blends Chill, Suave, and Smooth. As always, the Pitch parking lot was our laboratory, where samples were passed around the circle. It should be noted that, unlike previous product tests, none of these joints were actually finished. Rather testers removed themselves with some variation of the phrase, "I'm done with this skeevy shit."
Here's all you need to know:
From an infrequent pot smoker: "Nasty charred lemony taste/smell. I do feel similar to how I feel when I'm high: slightly queasy with decreased motor skills. Only with more of a headache. I went home and ate a huge meal of fried chicken and chocolate, but neither salty nor sweet seemed to satisfy me. I don't know if that's K3's fault, but I think it might be."
From a regular pot smoker: "It would be a stretch to say that I got high on the Syn we rolled up.There was a small flower bud in the silver pouch of the "Chill" variety we tried (clearly marked "not for human consumption"). It tastes sour and smells like halitosis. It gave my chest and lungs a tingle but that was about it. I think all that fake weed is a fuckin' ripoff. One is better off putting their money down on a few beers and a Xanax if they really want to "chill."
I find myself agreeing with our testers. The first time we tried K2, it was fun. Why would you want to do something if it isn't fun? Syn just left me feeling listless, bored, with a slight headache. Oddly though, like tester number one I also experienced a craving for fried chicken and made a pilgrimage to the Go Chicken Go on Troost where an extremely tolerant woman helped me choose between the mashed potatos and baked beans -- a decision that was sidetracked by my inner monologue's refusal to pay attention and stop obsessing over how disgusting cole slaw is. So the best I can say about Syn is that if you want to be in the mood to eat fried chicken, Syn can help you get in that mood. We should demand more from a product named after an act of spiritual destruction than a craving for eight original herbs and spices.
Clearly the sales indicate that someone's going to miss this stuff in a month, but I have a hard time figuring out who. Are there that many people on probation? Because unless you have to pass a drug test, what reason do you have to buy synthetics anymore?
A week ago, I was talking with one of my favorite bartenders, who also happens to be an inveterate stoner. The subject of synthetic pot came up.
"I just don't get why anyone would buy it," he said. "Just buy real weed."
"What if you're older and you think you don't know how to find it anymore?" I asked.
"Just ask the youngest person you know," he said. "It isn't hard to find. It's weed."
"OK, how about for people that have medical problems and can't get legal medical marijuana since we're in Missouri?"
"Just buy the weed! Just get real, good, weed!"
Just buy weed.

More than 425 college juniors majoring in engineering or construction and faculty from 21 schools had a four-hour tour at the site of New York City's East Side Access rail-tunnel project. "If one picture tells a thousand words, a few hours of quality time on a good construction site like East Side Access can provide insights and perspectives that would not be possible even after dozens of hours in a classroom," said Mike Toole, associate dean of civil-environmental engineering at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania.

San Francisco Proclaims Pro Bono Week
Thursday, September 24, 2009
- Organization: ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has issued a Proclamation "recognizing the week of October 25-31, 2009 as the first National Pro Bono Week Celebration." Board of Supervisors President David Chiu will present the Proclamation at a Pro Bono Reception which will be held in connection with Pro Bono Week at 5:30 PM, October 29, 2009, at the California State Building in San Francisco. More than six million Californians live below 125% of the federal poverty level, the Proclamation notes. The Proclamation "commends California attorneys, for their ongoing pro bono contributions" and recognizes that they "make a significant difference in the lives of California's poor who could not otherwise have access to the legal system".

AT&T, Verizon Not Honoring Galaxy S III Dropbox Promotion
Two of the largest cellphone service providers in the United States will not be honoring a promotion that would give Samsung Galaxy S III owners 50GB of free cloud storage from Dropbox, various media outlets reported over the weekend.
AT&T and Verizon have both opted out of the promotion, which was announced when the smartphone was first unveiled early last month and would have given customers two years worth of storage, VentureBeat's Tom Cheredar wrote on Sunday. Their decision was confirmed on Dropbox's official customer support website, but no official reason for the move was provided, he added.
PCMag's David Murphy called Verizon and AT&T's refusal to honor the promotion, which provides a service valued at $9.99 per month free of charge for a limited time, "a buzzkill." Likewise, Android Community's Cory Gunther said that while it "is hardly a deal breaker, it is bad news and should potentially help out the sales for international models or for T-Mobile."
Cheredar surmises that there are "two logical explanations" as to why neither service provider will be offering the Dropbox promotion. The first, which he says is "less likely," is that AT&T and Verizon have concerns over the potential strain on their networks. The second and more probable reason, Cheredar claims, is that each of them are preparing similar cloud-storage services which "could be bundled with monthly cell phone bills."
In the meantime, Murphy advises that customers shouldn't worry too much about missing out on the offer.
"Don't sweat it too much that you're missing out on some amazing experience just because you happen to use a Samsung Galaxy S III on either Verizon or AT&T," he explains. "It's not as if cloud storage deals don't come around all the time, after all. While fifty gigabytes is certainly one of the larger ones, its usefulness is limited by the fact that it eventually goes away."
However, anyone who is concerned about missing out on the free, temporary Dropbox upgrade might want to pass when the AT&T and Verizon versions of the Galaxy S III drop in early July, said Cheredar. Those individuals might prefer to hold out to see whether or not the Sprint and T-Mobile versions of the device (due out later this year) to see whether or not they honor the promotion.

Truly a GEM!
What a wonderful house and a great location! We rented Baker's Pond for two weeks and loved it. It was wonderful waking up every morning to views of Baker's pond from the top floor bedroom and then being able to continue those views from every floor. We enjoyed having our coffee with the hummingbirds outside the slider and watching the birds feed their young in the birdhouse outside the kitchen window. The Keurig coffee machine made a quick wake up coffee possible. At the end of our week, the moon reflecting on the pond made it a very romantic evening. The house is very cozy and thoughtfully laid out. We found nothing lacking and our hosts were quick to answer any questions. There was a kayak & canoe available to use, plus we enjoyed grilling our fresh fish on the gas grill. We were able to take walks around the pond in the conservation area & Nickerson's State Park. We will definitely be back! thank you for sharing this wonderful Cape location with us.

Luck's late-game magic dooms Oakland 21-17
INDIANAPOLIS Andrew Luck has mastered the art of the comeback.
He'd like to start making things easier on himself and the rest of the Indianapolis Colts.
Luck threw for two scores Sunday and scrambled 19 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 5:20 left, giving the Colts a 21-17 victory over Oakland in the season opener.
Yes, Indy has seen this act before. A year ago, Luck set an NFL rookie record and tied the league's overall mark by leading the Colts to seven fourth-quarter comebacks. Sunday's victory gives Luck eight comeback wins in 12 career victories, a dangerous tack he would like to change.
"I guess the fans shouldn't leave early," he joked. "I don't think any Colts fans ever do, which is one of the great things about playing here. We know it's tough to get wins in the National Football League. Obviously, you don't want it, you don't want to have to go down to the wire every game."
He hopes things will be different next week against Miami.
But here are five reasons the Colts beat the Raiders.
1. LUCKY FEET: Andrew Luck is considered the prototype pocket passer - big arm, poised, willing to stand up under pressure. He also is sneaky athletic. At 6-foot-4, 239 pounds, he's big enough, fast enough and a good enough runner to play tight end. The Raiders found out the hard way Sunday. Early in the game, Oakland appeared to have Luck corralled for a sack, but he slithered away and ran 9 yards for a first down. The bigger problem came late. With the Colts facing third-and-4 from the Oakland 19, Luck saw the middle of the field open up and took off. He ran straight up the middle cut to his left and avoided a couple of Raiders to get into the end zone.
2. PRYOR PROBLEM: Nobody can quibble with most of Terrelle Pryor's numbers. He was 19 of 29 for 217 yards with one touchdown and one sack. He also ran 13 times for 112 yards to break Rich Gannon's franchise record for yards rushing by a quarterback (85). The problem: Two red-zone interceptions and the inability to avoid a late sack that forced Oakland into desperation mode. Afterward, Pryor blamed himself for the loss, saying he played awful. He didn't. He played like a quarterback making his second NFL start. Pryor was good enough to have the Raiders in the lead with 11:09 to play, and didn't flinch when a replay review took away what would have been the go-ahead touchdown on the last play of the third quarter. But if the Raiders are going to win consistently, Pryor has to eliminate the big mistakes.
3. DE-FENSE: Indy spent a lot of money to improve its defense, and the Colts got mixed results in the first real game. Oakland ran for 171 yards and had 372 yards in total offense. But the Colts were significantly better in some areas. They held the Raiders to 17 points. They were able to come up with two pick after finishing last season with 12. Darren McFadden, who the Colts were worried about, ran 17 times for 48 yards, a 2.8 yard average, and one TD. The biggest problems came when Pryor took off, something they'd like to clean up before next week's game and certainly need to fix before heading to San Francisco in Week 3.

Property Details
Condo, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)
Located at the foot of Telegraph Hill and historic Coit Tower, is Parc Telegraph, a luxury condominium that encompasses the finest amenities of high rise City lifestyles. On the 4th floor of 220 Lombard is the warm and elegant "Loft on Lombard". The 600-plus square foot loft has views of the Bay Bridge, and looking north, peek-a-views of San Francisco Bay. Across the street is the
historic Del Monte building, and above bright blue skies flooding the unit with light, and making an afternoon read
on the window seat a memorable moment to savor. Click
to view the pictures. AT Loft on Lombard, you can enjoy
the best of San Francisco at your doorstep, and have a
cozy home to return to after a day's exploring or doing
business in one of the world's most vibrant cities.
NOTE: The condo has one queen sized bed and there is an inflatable bed for extra sleeping accommodation for guests. THE SOFA BED IS INOPERATIVE as of Jan 2014.
Loft on Lombard is beautifully furnished and meticulously maintained. The bedroom area has a queen sized bed with foam padding, a fluffy down comforter, and plenty of pillows to assure a peaceful and sound night's sleep. There is a terrific window seat, plush and cozy, that frames the window and views. The kitchen is contemporary and state of the art. It is fully equipped and has stainless steel appliances, Ceasarstone countertops, and a breakfast bar area for enjoying that morning cup of coffee. The living room has contemporary furnishings, and there are lots of books and art to make you feel at home. With ample closets and storage, all you need to bring is your suitcase and toothbrush!
Loft on Lombard is your perfect pied-a-terre: safe, close to everything, bright, clean, quiet, well-appointed. And you'll have access to all the luxuries of Parc Telegraph, including underground, secure parking for one car (of moderate size), a large European-style gymnasium, hot tub, sauna, 24-hour security personnel, a beautiful lobby and common areas (interior and exterior) that will make you feel you are staying in a five star property. All this at rates much lower than similarly appointed hotels.

Great unit, great location
Another reviewer had mentioned the compact parking spot. We rented a Toyota Camry. Everyone but the driver would get out of the car and help direct the driver into the spot. A minivan would probably not fit. Still, it is a great advantage to have available parking at no additional charge!
My family would definitely stay here again!!
We very much appreciate the nice review and are happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the Loft and enjoyed San Francisco.
All good wishes, Rick & Ken

More than 200 vegetable farmers, agriculture students, and other members of the Bay State's agriculture community attended two free workshops designed to help improve the soil's capacity to function as a vital living system that sustains plant, animal and human health.
Cape Cod's beautiful seashore, salt marshes and woodlands are a natural draw for residents and tourists. The related development is a boon for the local economy but not so good for a small, furry and quite elusive little creature: the New England Cottontail rabbit.
When Jim and Nancy Faulkner bought their small farm in Boxborough, the place was a mess. Buildings were falling down, the soil was poor and the land was covered with invasive plants. Still, they wanted to make the farm sustainable.
When Sean Stanton improved the pastures on his small farm in Great Barrington, his efforts not only helped the natural resources of this scenic southwest corner of Berkshire County, but also diners at an eatery on the lower west side of Manhattan.
Not every forest land owner can say that George Washington slept nearby. Hazel Holman can. On her Lanesborough land, history and natural character are inseparable. Hazel's legacy will be conservation.

Brent North Sea crude for February delivery lost also 27 cents to stand at US$107.91 a barrel in London midday deals.

Kagan on international law: "A blank slate"
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
If the recent contentious confirmation hearings of judicial nominee Goodwin Liu and State Department legal advisor Harold Koh are any evidence, the question the role of international law and whether it is proper to use foreign judgements in deciding cases, has quickly joined issues like abortion and executive privelege as a lightning-rod topic that nominees can expect to be grilled on.
With little in the public record to suggest what Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee thinks about the issue, I spoke with Diane Marie Amann, director of the California International Law Center at UC Davis, and founder of the popular legal blog IntLawGrrls, about how much we can tell about how Elena Kagan sees the world:
JK: What evidence from Kagan's career, might shed some light on her views on international law?
DMA: It's really hard to read the tea leaves. She's done two stints now in the executive branch, in the Clinton and Obama administrations. Both of those administrations have dealt with transnational criminal law, either in the context of the war on drugs or the campaign against terrorism. The positions that would have been taken there would have been very much in favor of expanding the reach of U.S. law enforcement to deal with those issues. The role that she played in helping craft those policies, and most recently [as Obama's solicitor general] in making those arguments in front of the Supreme Court, have to be an important part of trying to assess her stance on these issues.
At the same time, she's not an international lawyer. Her specialty in academia was domestic constitutional law, the law of the U.S. federal court. She did not write on issues related to international law. It's probably fairest to say she comes to the confirmation hearings with an almost clean slate on these issues.
JK: What about the debate over citing foreign case law and using international standards to inform judgements. Do we know anything about she comes down on that?
DMA: Well she certainly is aware of the debate and the controversy around it. In the early 2000s, she invited justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to defend the practice at a women's leadership summit at Harvard, but she didn't tip her hand. I'm sure she knew Justice Ginsburg would defend it, but she didn't offer any follow-up comment.
JK: If you could question Kagan at her confirmation hearing, what would you ask to find out more about her position on these issues?
DMA: I would be curious to know if she had any training in international law as a law student, in briefs that she's written or policy discussions she's been involved in, or in her work as the law dean, and what the nature of that training was. Then also, her attitude toward it: the question of whether it's appropriate for U.S. courts to look to foreign context and foreign judicial decisions to figure out how to interpret similar provisions in American law is an important question.
I have no doubt that she'll be asked that question. If you look at the recent panel hearing for Goodwin Liu, the nominee to the 9th circuit, a number of senators repeatedly asked Liu that question. In many ways, watching that hearing seemed to me to be a preview to what we can expect with the Kagan hearing. There's not doubt she'll be asked the question. What's open is whether she'll answer it. Justice Sotomayor's hearing last year indicates that she'll probably try to deflect that question.
JK: It does seem like the question of foreign case law has become much more controversial lately, in the confirmation of Harold Koh as legal advisor to the State Department, for instance.
DMA: There's a certain segment of the senate that is extremely concerned about what they perceive as a judicial inclination to follow foreign law. Personally, I believe that they're wrong on their understanding of what the court has been doing. What the Supreme Court did, even in the most noteworthy cases like the juvenile death penalty case, was to try to interpret very open terms like "cruel and unusual punishment" to interpret what those words mean in contemporary society, including within their survey what they call "civilized society," allies of ours and countries that share our traditions – taking their experiences into account but not by any means, being required to follow suit. For a number of senators, the belief is that the justices have been feeling beholden to those foreign judgements.
JK: What are some of the biggest international issues that might come before the court in coming years?
DMA: We know that the U.S. campaign against terrorism will continue for the foreseeable issues. This will raise all kinds of issues that intertwine American domestic law and American obligations under international law, such as the Geneva Conventions and the Convention Against Torture. There's no question that she would be dealing with these issues, perhaps even in her first term.
