Fashion History
fashion, in dress, the prevailing mode affecting modifications in costume. Styles in Asia have been characterized by freedom from change, and ancient Greek and Roman dress preserved the same flowing lines for centuries. Fashion in dress and interior decoration may be said to have originated in Europe about the 14th cent. New styles were set by monarchs and prominent personages and were spread by travelers, by descriptions in letters, and, in costume, by the exchange of the fashion doll. The first fashion magazine is thought to have originated c.1586 in Frankfurt, Germany; it was widely imitated, gradually superseding fashion dolls. Godey's Lady's Book, established in the United States in 1830, remained popular for decades. In interior decoration the influence of designers, such as Chippendale, Sheraton, and Robert and James Adam, was apparent in the 18th cent., but in costume the only influential designer at that period was Rose Bertin, milliner and dressmaker to Marie Antoinette.
In Paris—the leading arbiter of fashion since the Renaissance—the fading influence of celebrities was coincident with the rise of designer-dressmakers in the mid-19th cent. Paris haute couture has remained preeminent in setting fashions for women's dress. Designers such as Charles Frederick Worth, Coco Chanel, Lucien Lelong, Elsa Schiaparelli, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Christian Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent have had fashion houses in Paris. In the latter part of the 20th cent. such American designers as Norman Norell, Mainbocher, James Galanos, Bill Blass, and Pauline Trigère competed successfully with Parisian designers. London, in the early 19th cent., became the center for men's fashions under the leadership of Regency dandies such as Beau Brummell. In the mid-1960s, London was again for a time the center of fashion influence.
The 1970s and 80s saw the beginning of more divergent trends in fashion. This was the result of the increasing popularity of ready-to-wear collections by major designers, which made fashionable label-conscious dressing possible for the middle class. Ethnic-inspired looks and the punk style enjoyed a period of popularity. Successful clothing designers such as Ralph Lauren, Georgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Rei Kawakubo, and Geoffrey Beene widened their design horizons, licensed their names, and put their distinctive marks on objects ranging from furniture to cars, fabric, and perfumes. The look of luxuriance that emerged in the 1980s was countered in the 1990s with the production of classic understated clothes. Fashions are adapted for mass production by the garment industries of New York, Los Angeles, and other cities.

My Rating
My BFF and I took the tour and had a ball. Our tour guide, Gary, was very knowledgeable and entertained the entire bus with his stories and jokes. His priority was to ensure we all had a good time and we did. We learned a great deal about the various locations around the city that were used in movies and TV shows. Highly recommend this tour.

Adult interaction with infants
|This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (November 2013)
When adults come into contact with infants, it is unlikely that they would be able to have a proper conversation, as the infant would not know enough about pop culture or general knowledge to create a stimulating conversation for the adult. Also, the adult may not understand baby-language and cannot relate to their situation properly. Therefore, the adult often changes their persona (and communicates in a way they wouldn't with other adults) in order to try to elicit a reaction from the infant, to teach them life lessons, or to physically stimulate them. They may simplify their speech to concise sentences or words for them to repeat, or speak in nonsensical phrases (known as baby talk). They may make simple movements with their finger (such as circles) on objects for them to copy, or point to brand names/logos or people in family photos to see if they identify them. They may also choose to play one of various games, many of which are old favourites (such as Where's the baby or Gotcha nose). While the parents or carers may or may not choose to do this on when alone with the child, when in the presence of guests the conversation tends to either divert completely to this type of interaction or at least have these forms of interaction take place as asides in the conversation. Sometimes the interaction is onesided, with the adult taking satisfaction with their attempts, even though the infant does not react, or react without really understanding it. At other times, the interaction is two-sided, and both parties derive pleasure or other emotions from it. Some adults do not change at all when in the presence of other families' infants.
Parents and infants[edit]
An article in Science Daily suggested that "the way mothers interact with their babies in the first year of life is strongly related to how children behave later on."[1]
"No [grownup conversation or alcohol] can go down [at an adult-only party] when there are kids...Once a baby's in the mix, it's almost guaranteed that all the attention (especially [the parents']) is focused on the little one instead of the grown-up activities."
— Denene Millner, Reality Check: Bringing Baby to an Adults-Only Party[2]
Sometimes when caring mothers invite guests over, they become preoccupied with their child's needs, even though the infants are disruptive to the atmosphere and attention-stealing. Alex Richards recalled a post-baby party where her "two-month-old was good for a while, but became fussier and fussier as the night progressed".[3] Sometimes, adults ignore the young children, finding them to be a nuisance or irrelevant. When this happens, they are put into playpens to fend for themselves, or left to wander the house. Amy Bowman recalls that at a dinner party, she put her 8-month-old down, and "as soon as she hit the ground, Katie 'sprinted' on all fours to the edge of the patio and pulled herself to standing on a lounge chair", rather than conversing with the adults.[4]
Playing games with babies can assist with:[5]
- Bonding
- Motor control and hand/eye coordination
- Fine and gross motor skills
- Digestion and relieving constipation
- Social skills and emotional development
- Sensory development
- Language and vocab development
Types of games[edit]
Babycenter.com identifies the following games for adults to play with babies.[6]
- Copycat: Sticking your tongue out and waiting for them to stick their tongue back in response. They can try other facial expressions such as a smile or laugh. Once the baby is more experienced, one can try things like clapping their hands or waving for the baby to imitate
- Tickle songs: Singing songs like This little piggy or Round and round the garden and tickling them at the end. After repetition, the infant will "start...to giggle in excited anticipation of [it]". Games like this improve infant's memory skills.
- Roll and stretch: When the baby starts being able to raise her hand when lying on her stomach, they can roll "a brightly colored ball across her line of vision about 60cm from her body". They'll stretch towards it. This exercise strengthens their neck, arm and leg muscles.
- Catch me: Dangling a toy-on-a-string (preferably squeaky) in front of the babies eyes, or the infant to touch and/or grab. This exercise helps to build hand–eye co-ordination.
- Bubble magic: As infants are fascinated by bubbles, one can play various bubble-related games such as blowing bubbles at them with a bubble-blowing toy. They can learn about cause and effect, by touching bubbles and watching them pop.
- Puppet show: Putting on a puppet show for them. Making the puppets sing, dance, tickle and kiss etc. helps develop their imagination.
- In and out: Because babies like to empty things (like handbags or boxes of tissues), one can create a game out of this by filling a large container or bowl with safe interesting objects. With the baby, empty it and play with the objects. They can learn about size, shape, weight, big, small, empty and full.
- Adventure playground: Making a "miniature obstacle course out of cushions...and peeping out from behind them", place toys around the floor for them to navigate their way through. This exercise helps develop their body strength, balance and co-ordination.
- Kick ball: Placing a small ball in front of the infant and encouraging them to kick it by picking them up by the arms and moving their leg towards the ball. This swinging action builds stomach and leg muscles.
- Tower power: Using old or unused items like cereal boxes, lightweight books or plastic bowls, and make a tower out of them, for the infant to then knock down. They learn about shapes and sizes, and derive pleasure from watching the tower fall apart.
Some other games are as follows:
- Music Fun Turn on some kid songs or tunes and help the baby move and clap to the rhythm of the music by letting the baby mimic your movements.
- Looking in the Mirror Take a mirror and put it in front of the baby so they can see their reflection for fun.
- Hide & Seek Go hide one of the baby's favorite toy then take the baby with you to go find the toy.
- Roll Ball It's for fun the kid if you just keep rolling a ball to a baby and let the baby push the ball back. Will help the baby gain motor skills.
- Looking fun Go outside with your baby and let the baby enjoy the beauties of nature like the grass, flowers, trees, and the neighbor hoods animals which will probably fascinate the child.
- Music From the Kitchen Making different types of sounds or music from the kitchen using tools like your pots and pans will help the child's sensory development of sound.
- Outside Fun Let your kid go outside to the park or backyard so the baby can feel the outdoors. Letting the infant crawl on the grass, feel the wind, and smell the sweet odors from the flowers.
A list of baby games is located at [1] and here.
In Media[edit]
- The Connected Baby, a documentary film
Baby talk[edit]
"When talking with children, it is important that the conversation arises from a genuine interest. In other words carers must want to be with children, talk with the children and find out what they are thinking. Displaying a genuine interest and enjoyment in spending time with children also shows that you value and respect them".
— Jan Faulkner, Taking with Babies and Toddlers[7]

Bands of dust blow south over the Arabian Sea during a dust storm that the Terra MODIS instrument imaged on December 19, 2004. The veil extends from the Pakistan-Iran border in the west up to the Afghanistan border in the north, and beyond the India border in the east. It seems to originate near the base of the Chagai Hills near the Afghanistan border. Dust storms of this magnitude are common in this region.

Despite a fast-approaching deadline set by the mayor and police chief, very few of the anti-Wall Street protesters from Occupy Los Angeles had begun breaking down their tents Saturday on the City Hall lawn and most said they didn't intend to.
The Occupy LA encampment was abuzz with activity, but nearly all of it was aimed at how to deal with authorities come Monday's 12-01 a.m. (0801 GMT) deadline.
Some handed out signs mocked up to look like the city's notices to vacate, advertising a Monday morning "eviction block party."
Dozens attended a teach-in on resistance tactics, including how stay safe in the face of rubber bullets, tear gas canisters and pepper spray.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced Friday that despite his sympathy for the protesters' cause, it was time for the camp of nearly 500 tents to leave for the sake of public health and safety.
The mayor said the movement is at a "crossroads," and it must "move from holding a particular patch of park to spreading the message of economic justice."
But occupiers did not intend to give up their patch of park too easily.
Will Picard, who sat Saturday in a tent amid his artwork with a "notice of eviction" sign posted outside, said the main organizers and most occupiers he knows intend to stay.
"Their plan is to resist the closure of this encampment and if that means getting arrested so be it," Picard said. "I think they just want to make the police tear it down rather than tear it down themselves."
But some agreed with the mayor that the protest had run its course.
"I'm going," said Luke Hagerman, who sat looking sad and resigned in the tent he's stayed in for a month. "I wish we could have got more done."
Villaraigosa expressed pride that Los Angeles has lacked the tension, confrontation and violence seen at similar protests in other cities. But that peace was likely to get its biggest test on Monday.
Police gave few specifics about what tactics they would use for those who had no intention of leaving.
Chief Charlie Beck said at Friday's news conference that officers would definitely not be sweeping through the camp and arresting everyone just after midnight.
But in an interview with the Los Angeles Times on Sunday, Beck said that despite the lack of confrontations in the camp's two-month run, he was realistic about what must happen.
"I have no illusions that everybody is going to leave," Beck said in an interview with the Times. "We anticipate that we will have to make arrests."
But he added, "We certainly will not be the first ones to apply force."
Ue Daniels, 21, said as an artist he's "as nonviolent as they come" but he planned on resisting removal any way he could.
"I think we'll comply as far as putting our tents on the sidewalk maybe, that's something that's been going around."
But as far as leaving altogether?
"They would probably have to drag me away," he said.
He also suspected that though the general consensus among campers is to stay, he expects many will change their mind once police arrive. "I don't know who's going to stay, you can say something, but you never know until you're in the situation how you're going to react."

This is working wonderfully for me. I do wish that the images would scale to screen size a little better. Screens are bigger now and the (beautiful!) stock clocks take up less than half. Something vector or even fuzzily scaled would be great.

OFPP readying round 2 of Mythbusters
Friday - 3/30/2012, 5:14am EDT
Mythbusters 2 is coming to an acquisition professional near you. No, it's not a sequel to a bad horror movie. Rather, it's the Office of Federal Procurement Policy's latest effort to challenge the long-held views in and about industry.
"We are building on Mythbusters 1, which we did last year to encourage more vendor-government communication. We are looking at doing a second document that might look at it from industry's side and what are the things they could do to make the engagements more productive and make sure we are all getting the most out of time together," said Lesley Field, OFPP acting administrator, Thursday during the Acquisition Excellence conference in Washington. "It's stating the myths from the industry's perspective so that the industry can see themselves in it and say 'how can I make sure that I've gotten all the information I need before I go into a meeting with a contracting officer? What are the kinds of things I can do? Where do I go for information so I can be really up to speed on everything before we sit down so we can have the most productive conversation.'"
Field wouldn't offer specific details on what myths OFPP is trying to bust from the industry's side.
She said OFPP is working closely with vendor organizations and contractors about which are the most common myths. OFPP should finish the document in the next few months.
"It's probably nothing surprising, but it's good information for industry to take back with them," Field said.
Alan Chvotkin, vice president and senior counsel for the Professional Services Council, told In-Depth with Francis Rose in December that the big issues that could be covered in Mythbusters 2 are how to deal with proprietary data and what agencies can reveal about acquisition strategies before the release of a solicitation.
Mythbusters 2 follows OFPP's initial campaign to dispel commonly held myths by agencies. Former OFPP administrator Dan Gordon launched Mythbusters about a year ago with the goal of dispelling several misunderstandings about agency and vendor communications.
Many in industry have mixed feelings about the campaign. Some at the Acquisition Excellence conference yesterday said agencies are implementing the communication strategies inconsistently. Others say OFPP's focus has waned in the recent months.
Vendor communications plans posted
As part of the Mythbusters effort, agencies developed vendor communications plans detailing the steps they will take to work more closely with contractors during the pre-solicitation and market research phases.
Field said OFPP worked with the General Services Administration to post those plans on a new section on FedBizOpps.gov. The vendor collaboration page lists all agency-issued requests for information, sources-sought notices and market research.
"Building off Mythbusters, we understood sometimes it's hard to find when agencies were having industry days or opportunities for engagement," she said. "It gives government and industry some good space at the beginning of the process, especially in the pre-RFP time frame where we are building requirements, industry can help us shape those, and we are looking at the acquisition strategy and they can tell us if we are heading down the right path or not. We thought publicizing those opportunities would help us get to a better end state."
Users can sort by posted date, by agency, by set-aside and by a host of other categories.
Field said the vendor communications plans include points of contact and tangible events agencies were holding to reduce communication barriers.
Several agencies are taking additional steps to improve communication with industry and broaden their acquisition development efforts.
Darren Ash, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's chief information officer, said the agency set up portfolio councils led by the acquisition experts. The councils, which also include technology workers, conducted an analysis of NRC's spending and found several opportunities to save money.
"We focused on training and found we had 16 large vendors working with us and we dropped that down to three," Ash said. "We are looking at savings of 20-to-30 percent. That is big for a small agency like us. We now have groups involved in the IT area. For instance, we are looking at printers because we know we can do it better and buy smarter."
IRS' VMO helping save money
The IRS, meanwhile, is one of the few agencies with a well established vendor management office.
Jacob Hansen, the IRS director of procurement, said there is an acquisition liaison as part of the agency's formal governance structure. The governance council is led by the IRS chief technology officer Terry Milholland.

Relay for Life recognizes local 5-year volunteer
Mary Louise has been active in DeSoto County Relay For Life for over five years. Last year she was Chairperson in charge of team recruitment and is currently corporate sponsorship chair for this year's event. She is once again captain of the team Susan's Gang named for her sister-in-law Susan Giannini who succumbed to cancer in 2006.
Mary Louise and her husband, Harry are both cancer survivors. They also host the Susan Giannini Memorial Golf Tournament each fall at North Creek Golf Club in Southaven as a fundraiser for DeSoto County Relay. To date their team has raised over $23,500 through the golf tournaments alone for the American Cancer Society.
Harry is this year's Mission Delivery Chair keeping the area relay teams up to date on matters about ACS. One fact Harry wishes to pass along is the 24/7 help hot line number 1-800-227-2345 available to all cancer survivors and care givers.
Mary Louise and her husband Harry have lived in the Nesbit area for more than 20 of their 34 years of marriage. Three children, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren may be enough to keep some people busy but not these two. Gardening, fishing, camping and spending quality time with family are just some of her interests.
Mary Louise believes that a cancer diagnosis is not the death threat it once was. As a 26-year survivor of breast cancer, being active and productive is a way to fight back against this terrible disease.
When asked why she is so passionate about the relay, she stated, "Cancer has not only touched us, but so many of our friends. Harry and I may not see it in our lifetime, but hopefully soon, there will be a cure for all cancers."
For more information go to relayforlife.org/desotoms or contact Raney Alford 901-870-3751 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Patsy Eldred and Nancy McRae are serving as publicity co-chairmen for Relay For Life.

KOLKATA: In a year that saw a low yield of mangoes in Malda, West Bengal, Cyclone Aila, which ruined produce worth Rs.18 crore, was the last straw on the district mango producers' back.
"It had been a bad year for us and the cyclone reduced our produce to nothing," said Subedh Mishra, secretary of the Malda Zila Mango Merchants Association. "The storms caused hundreds of unripe mangoes to fall. As a result, the mangoes, which we were expecting to sell at Rs.15 a kg, are being sold at Rs.2 a kg."
Of the 26,000 hectares under production, the authorities were expecting 2,60,000 tonnes of mangoes, but the actual production was only about 10 per cent of this figure, said Samanendra Nath Khara, Mango Development Officer, Malda.

Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly. Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275 °F (130 °C) for 30 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm) thickness. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use. Baking should be completed by an adult.
Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.
Coat mirror back with white glue. Allow to dry completely. Set clay conditioning machine at thickest setting and make Twinkle Twinkle sheet. Press sheet on mirror back and sides. Trim edges flush with mirror front. Press sheet on front of mirror. Trim and smooth edges to blend the front and the back. Center the index card piece on the front and cut through clay with knife, using index card as a pattern. Do not remove clay cutout.
Set clay conditioning machine at third-thickest setting. Make 18K Gold and Silver sheets and cut ¼" strips. Make Twinkle Twinkle sheet and cut 1/8" strips. Press Gold strip on center of back, over one edge and overlap cutout on front. Butt Twinkle Twinkle strips next to long edges of Gold strip. Press Twinkle Twinkle strip across ends. Repeat with Silver strips, staggering them to be a little shorter than the Gold strip. On front, use craft knife to cut around overlapped strips. Remove clay cutout.
Form ½" square Twinkle Twinkle round button. Use needle tool to make sewing holes in button. Bake mirror and button as directed above.
- Cut 3-1/2" x 7" felt piece. Sew on button 1/2" from top. Fold felt 2" from edge with button. Machine- or hand-sew side seams ¼" from edge, with button at top of opening. Cut buttonhole on flap.
- Use rubbing alcohol and a small piece of lint-free towel to clean clay off the mirror before baking.
- Make a few at the same time, and you'll have lovely handmade clay presents ready for birthday and thank-you gifts.

Other Information about the Home and Stove
Room Size (Sq ft): 460 | House Size (Sq feet): 1,100
Bought in 2000 , Price Paid: $1,800.00
Location : Davenport, New Y , USA
Purchased from: Direct From Manufacturer - Woodstock Soapstone Co.
The stove looks great and is easy to use. Once you establish a bed of coals, load the stove with about four peices of wood. When the thermometer indicates 250 degrees, engage the catalyst and slowly throdle down the damper to a point that you can maintain flames on your wood. The stove will be hot in the morning with some coals for easy kindling for your next fire. The heat is just as the manufacturer claims, a gentle even heat.
I can't imagine anyone being unhappy with this stove. My neighbor likes a hot, fast roaring fire. Instant mega heat, as he puts it. You have to allow the soapstone to gradually warm up for about forty five minutes while you establish your bed of coals on your enitial fire. This dosn't concern me and is a small price to pay for that overnight burn.
The stove is everything the manufacturer claims and more. I visited the factory to put my deposit on my stove and to check out their product. They have nothing to hide. I was permitted to speak to the workers that build the stoves. I asked questions about maintenance and the construcion of the stoves. Needless to say I was confident enough to make an $1,800.00 purchase.

I remember reading about this a day or two ago. I'm glad they made a Wii game. I remember when the Force Unleashed and original Indy game they planned for PS3 and Xbox 360, I was disappointed that nothing was for Wii. I'm glad they decided to go ahead with it. I haven't played an Indy game (excluding Lego Indiana Jones) since the days of N64. Can't wait for the new game.
Lucasarts has a new video up for the game. It shows Wii gameplay along with commentary. Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings If the link does not work then head over to Lucasarts.com
Looks really cool.

Altus Chamber of Commerce Committee of 100 members, and Altus Air Force Base leadership, welcomed new airmen, families, and recently deployed returnees with a big cook-out at Lucas Farms, on Monday, May 19, attended by about 280 people.
New AAFB members were greeted with a warm cowboy welcome and were treated to horse back riding, hay rides, a marshmallow fire pit, and hamburgers and hot dogs provided by Center Point Energy.
"We want to welcome all of you here tonight," Eva Letha Lucas greeted members of AAFB. "The Committee of 100 has been made up of members of the Altus Chamber of Commerce, that we join separate in order to put on these functions three times a year for you. And we do it to welcome you to Altus. we want you to feel like this is going to be your home the next couple of years or however long you get to stay with us. We want you to feel like you are welcome."
The committee's vision is "that all newcomers to Altus will feel like they are at home during their assignment to Altus."
Lucas then introduced Col. Bill Spangenthal, 97th Air Mobility Wing commander, who introduced base leaders, who then recognized new members.
The Committee of 100 was formed in 1984 while Linda Copeland was Chairman of the Board of the Altus Chamber of Commerce. The Purpose of the Committee of 100 is to welcome newcomers, students and those returning from the war effort and their families.
People who would like to participate in the Committee of 100 may call the Chamber of Commerce office at (580) 482-0210.

Wow, sucks to hear that but if you have only been able to find one I guess it's not a huge problem.Are you sure about that? I would have a hard time believing the reviewers would accept a template that uses tables for layout.There is actually at least one template that I know of which uses tables throughout and it has sold 28 times. It's never been said that they don't except templates using tables but I highly recommend using CSS .
Tables are for just that, tables CSS is strongly recommended for the rest.
Being a bit oldschool I can tell you that much, tables work just fine and you can do almost any site with them. Luckily for all the buyers and our clients, I stopped coding ~5-6 years ago

CFN 2012 Rankings
Sept. 16, Week 3
- 2012 AP Rankings
2012 Coaches' Poll
Scoreboard & Game Recaps
CFN Rankings
Preseason |
Week 1 | Week 2
2012 Week 3 Rankings, No. 26-124
1. Alabama 3-0
Last Week: W, Arkansas 52-0
Why Alabama Should Be No. 1: The Razorbacks were no doubt hurting, including playing without QB Tyler Wilson, but a 52-0 whitewash … in Fayetteville? The Crimson Tide has now gone more than nine quarters without allowing a point, while the AJ McCarron-led offense is operating with balance and methodical efficiency.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: If you want to critique 'Bama, you better pull out the film from the first two games, because the team was close to flawless in Week 3. The O-line stepped up, but did allow eight sacks in the first two games, including six versus Western Kentucky last Saturday.
Last Week: W, Idaho 63-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Tigers sent Idaho packing with a predictably easy win, rolling on the strength of their power ground game and the improving passing of Zach Mettenberger. LSU has gotten to 3-0 without a challenge, winning by an average score of 48-10.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: LSU needs to tighten up at the line of scrimmage now that SEC play is set to begin on Saturday. The Tigers yielded three sacks to the Vandals, yet were unable to produce one of their own in the blowout.
3. Oregon 3-0
Last Week: W, Tennessee Tech 63-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The offense cleared all of its hurdles during the non-conference portion of the schedule, averaging more than 50 points a game. Marcus Mariota sure doesn't look like a first-time starter under center, and De'Anthony Thomas and Kenjon Barner form one of the most dynamic skill position tandems in the country.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The numbers have been gaudy, to be sure, but who exactly have the Ducks been thrashing? After playing no one better than Fresno State, Oregon is about to face an immediate rise in the level of competition once Pac-12 play begins on Saturday.
4. Florida State 3-0
Last Week: W, Wake Forest 52-0
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: So much for looking past Wake Forest, with the Clemson showdown up next. The Seminoles were dominant from wire-to-wire against an always plucky Demon Deacons team, keeping a third straight opponent from reaching the end zone.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Florida State was brilliant on Saturday in all phases, but really who has this team beaten? It has opened the year with Murray State, Savannah State and Wake Forest, still leaving the 'Noles with something to prove a week from now.
5. Georgia 3-0
Last Week: W, Florida Atlantic 56-20
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The offense is catching up to the defense. Georgia set a school record with 713 total yards, while becoming the first squad in Athens to score at least 40 points in the first three games. Rookie running backs Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall both averaged more than 10 yards a carry in the rout of the Owls.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The rebuilt O-line was just fine against Florida Atlantic, but what happens when SEC play continues? Just a week ago, the Bulldogs had problems getting off their blocks versus Mizzou, something that bears a very close watch once October begins.
6. Florida 3-0
Last Week: W, Tennessee 37-20
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Gators are surging like few other programs in America, knocking off Texas A&M and Tennessee on the road in consecutive weeks. The D remains the calling this year in Gainesville, but the offense just got done shredding the Volunteers for more than 500 yards thanks to a slew of long-ball plays.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: If Florida keeps digging itself into a hole, it's going to eventually catch up to the program. The Gators have been slow starters in all three wins, even falling behind Bowling Green in the opener.
7. West Virginia 2-0
Last Week: W, James Madison 42-12
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Few defenses, if any, are going to contain Mountaineers QB Geno Smith and his cadre of receivers. Through two games, the senior has now thrown as many touchdown passes—nine—as incompletions.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: No one will truly know if West Virginia is ready to compete in the Big 12, especially on defense, until it starts playing better opponents. The Mountaineers have faced Marshall and James Madison, and won't be tested until conference play kicks off in two weeks.
8. Texas 3-0
Last Week: W, Ole Miss 66-31
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Longhorns offense becomes less and less of an issue with each passing week. Texas was unusually prolific in Oxford, getting 100 yards on the ground from Malcolm Brown, 100 yards receiving from Mike Davis and Marquise Goodwin and a career-day out of pivotal QB David Ash.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The 'Horns still haven't beaten a team of much heft in September, thanks to a soft non-conference schedule. The heralded D made a lot of big plays against Ole Miss, but also had a couple of lapses in the second half of the blowout.
9. Clemson 3-0
Last Week: W, Furman 41-7
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Tigers took care of business against Furman in matter-of-fact fashion, rolling for more than 500 yards for a three straight game. Star WR Sammy Watkins is back following a suspension, scoring for the first time in 2012 on a 58-yard touchdown run.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Who exactly has Clemson defeated? The Auburn win on opening weekend is overrated, and the team has handled Ball State and Furman on the last two Saturdays. If the Tigers want to travel north in rankings, they better go out and beat Florida State in Tallahassee next week.
10. Notre Dame 3-0
Last Week: W, Michigan State 20-3
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Irish defense is on the verge of becoming championship-caliber. The unit has allowed just 30 points in three games, winning the line of scrimmage battles with help from DE Stephon Tuitt, NG Louis Nix and linebackers Prince Shembo and Manti Te'o. Perfect after three games for the first time in a decade, Notre Dame did not allow Michigan State into the red zone Saturday night.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The Irish D better be nasty, because the offense is sputtering. Notre Dame has managed just 20 points in consecutive games with Big Ten teams, and the situation behind center with Everett Golson remains a work-in-progress.
11. Oklahoma 2-0
Last Week: Idle
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Cautious optimism surrounds the Sooners after winning two games as a prohibitive favorite. The high-powered offense smoothed out some wrinkles in Week 2, albeit against Florida A&M, racking up 662 total yards and 10 offensive touchdowns. JUCO transfer Damien Williams has been an immediate big-play complement to Dominique Whaley in the backfield.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: No one will know just how legit this OU team is until Kansas State visits a week from now. Was the close call with UTEP in the opener a case of rust or another overrated Bob Stoops team? The revamped O-line has yielded six sacks to a pair of teams very light on defensive stalwarts.
12. Stanford 3-0
Last Week: W, USC 21-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Cardinal is back. Heck, it never left. Saturday night's upset of No. 2 USC stamped Stanford as a legitimate contender for the Pac-12 crown, even without former star QB Andrew Luck. It manhandled Troy at the point of attack, rushing for 202 yards, and battering former Heisman frontrunner Matt Barkley.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: In order to take the next step and actually win the conference, Stanford will need more consistency from its passing attack. Josh Nunes did enough for the win, but 15-of-32 for 215 yards, two touchdowns and two picks could become a liability at some point.
13. Michigan State 2-1
Last Week: L, Notre Dame 20-3
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Spartans lost to a very good Notre Dame squad in East Lansing. Against lesser opponents, which constitutes most of the Big Ten in 2012, Michigan State ought to be fine operating its formula of sound defense and the power running of Le'Veon Bell.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The first three games have shown that good teams will shut down QB Andrew Maxwell and the monotone Spartans offense. Michigan State not only flopped on Saturday night, but also struggled to score 17 points on a rebuilt Boise State D in the opener.
Last Week: L, Stanford 21-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Okay, everyone, take a deep breath. Even after suffering a loss, this is still a talented Trojans squad that ran into a tractor on the Farm. Matt Barkley and his cast of receivers will bounce back quickly, especially since it'll be a long time before they face another team with Stanford's physicality.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Saturday night was a symptom of a much bigger problem at USC. The Trojans' lack of depth and overall toughness could haunt them again this year. They were bullied by the Cardinal, a situation exacerbated by too many attempted arm tackles and not nearly enough pressure on the quarterback.
15. Louisville 3-0
Last Week: W, North Carolina 39-34
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Cards notched their biggest win of the season, holding off North Carolina in a game that wasn't quite as close as the final score indicated. Teddy Bridgewater continues to emerge into one of college football's top young hurlers, while the power running game returned versus the Heels.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Saturday's win may have unearthed as many Louisville flaws as strengths. The O-line allowed Bridgewater to absorb too many hits, and the secondary softened late, yielding 363 yards and five touchdown passes to Bryn Renner.
16. Tennessee 2-1
Last Game: L, Florida 37-20
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Volunteers are going to go as far as the big-play passing game is going to take it. QB Tyler Bray is a next-level hurler, and Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson equip him with a pair of fantastic receivers. The loss to the Gators came against one of the nation's hottest teams.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: It took three games, but the suspect D finally got exposed for more than 500 yards and a slew of missed tackles. The Vols had their shots Saturday night, but faded down the stretch by allowing Florida to ring up the last 24 points.
17. Michigan 2-1
Last Game: W, Massachusetts 63-13
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Facing a team it could overpower, that's exactly what Michigan did in Week 3, earning a momentum-building win on the backs of the Minutemen. RB Fitzgerald Touissant is rounding into form after missing the opener, and QB Denard Robinson is as explosive as ever.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Just because Massachusetts couldn't exploit it doesn't mean that Wolverines defense isn't a concern at the first quarter turn of the season. Michigan showed pockets of softness in its first two games with Alabama, a loss, and Air Force, a close call.
18. Ohio State 3-0
Last Week: W, Cal, 35-28
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Buckeyes showed a lot of perseverance in their toughest game to date, withstanding the Cal challenge to remain unbeaten. Twice in the fourth quarter, the Bears either pulled even or pulled ahead. And twice, QB Braxton Miller led his team back in another sign of his budding on-field maturity.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The Ohio State D suffered way too many breakdowns against an erratic visitor. The Buckeyes got to QB Zach Maynard six times, but also missed a lot of tackles, and wound up yielding more than 500 yards.
19. Kansas State 3-0
Last Week: W, North Texas 35-21
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: When the Wildcats need to put their foot on the gas, they're capable of blowing past quality opponents behind QB Collin Klein. Just last week, Kansas State destroyed Miami, 52-13, treating the 'Canes as if they were arriving from the FCS.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Kansas State has a nasty habit of playing down to its competition. This is the same school that struggled to shake Missouri State in Week 1, and played very lethargically versus the Mean Green over the weekend.
20. Missouri 2-1
Last Week: W, Arizona State 24-20
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Despite being without their catalyst, QB James Franklin, the Tigers were still able to hand red-hot Arizona State its first loss of the year. The D consistently came up big Saturday night, forcing four turnovers, slowing down the Devils' ground game and generally making timely stops.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The loss to Georgia a week earlier has put a cap on Mizzou's ceiling for the time being. The Tigers imploded down the stretch, hardly the work of an upwardly-mobile squad. If Franklin is hampered in any way from his shoulder injury, the offense will inevitably feel his absence.
21. South Carolina 3-0
Last Week: W, UAB 49-6
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: After a slow start, the Gamecocks took off to easily pick up win No. 3. The quarterbacks continue to play very well, and with every passing game, Marcus Lattimore's knee surgery becomes less of an issue. The physical D has allowed two touchdowns all year.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: In its two games with Conference USA opponents, South Carolina rolled. Against Vandy in the opener, though, the Gamecocks struggled. Until proven otherwise, this program has been the product of overmatched opponents.
22. Georgia Tech 2-1
Last Week: W, Virginia 56-20
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: A lopsided win in September is often code for hosting an overmatched FCS opponent. Uh-uh. Not in Atlanta on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets authored one of their best performances in recent memory under Paul Johnson, annihilating Coastal Division rival Virginia in all phases of the game.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Georgia Tech has played well this season, even stiffening on defense for coordinator Al Groh. However, it did lose its most important game of the year to a Virginia Tech team that got exposed by winless Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon.
23. Arizona State 2-1
Last Week: L, Missouri 24-20
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Even in losing, the Sun Devils showed that they're a very different team under Todd Graham and his staff of assistants. A week after mauling Illinois, Arizona State traveled to Missouri, and darn near rallied for a comeback win.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: ASU got a break by not having to face star Mizzou QB James Franklin, yet couldn't close the deal. The Sun Devils O-line got abused by the Tigers front seven for 10 tackles behind the line and three sacks, which could become a trend in Pac-12 play.
Last Week: W, Houston 37-6
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Bruins not only avoided a letdown following their huge win over Nebraska, but they actually raised the level of their game in Week 3. The offense was efficient, but it was the D that came up big, picking off five passes, and keeping high-powered Houston off the scoreboard for the first 55 minutes.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Opponents that can apply pressure could cause problems for the Bruins in 2012. The Cougars brought the heat, especially from the second level, and made 10 stops behind the line. The Bruins D is improving, but still has plenty to prove.
25. Arizona 3-0
Last Week: W, South Carolina State 56-0
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Wildcats suffered no hangover following their upset of Oklahoma State, blanking overmatched South Carolina State. Rich Rodriguez's offense has scored 115 points over the last two games, and continues to improve with fifth-year senior Matt Scott at the controls.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The defense is young and light on star power. A week ago, it allowed 636 yards to Oklahoma State, and was toothless against the pass. Oregon is capable of matching that output this week, a tell-tale sign of whether the Wildcats are legit Pac-12 contenders or a heavily-flawed, one-dimensional production.
2012 Week 3 Rankings, No. 26-124

For the past dozen or so years, static timing analysis has served the industry well by ensuring that all synchronous design blocks will not violate any of the design's setup and hold-timing constraints. However, with the convergence of multiple applications into a complex SOC (such as digital-audio, video, wireless, and networking), as well as the industry's adoption of an IP reuse strategy, project teams are now faced with a new set of clocking verification challenges that are not addressed by static timing analysis. For example, let's consider two IP blocks that individually pass their static timing analysis. There are still potential design errors due to the asynchronous interaction of these two blocks. If data is asynchronously transferred between the two IP blocks, and the data changes values during the receiving flip-flop's setup or hold-timing constraint, then the receiving flip-flop may enter into a metastable state. Hence, ensuring that the two asynchronous domains are properly designed with an appropriate synchronization scheme is critical to preventing the propagation of illegal metastable states through the design.
Furthermore, even with properly synchronized paths, it becomes necessary to verify that the non-deterministic latency introduced between multiple synchronizers does not reconverge in such a way as to create a design error. In the process of helping project teams deploy clock-domain crossing verification, we have observed a number of myths, misunderstandings, and costly mistakes. This Verification Academy course directly addresses these issues by introducing a set of steps for advancing an organization's clock-domain crossing (CDC) verification skills, infrastructure, and metrics for measuring success while identifying process areas requiring improvement.
This Verification Academy module is intended to be highly interactive-allowing the attendee to ask detailed questions concerning developing a successful clock-domain crossing (CDC) methodology.
You are encouraged to first view Evolving Verification Capabilities by Harry Foster that provides the framework for all of the Academy courses.
