Billy Pecker made a great buy, except for the fact that the stock never traded this low after the ex date
hip hip, horaaaay!
BillyPecker has a long history of bending the truth way beyond recognition.
Lower lows, Man, lots of opportunities to buy at lower and ever lower lows, Man...
scared chickens... you have a whopping 20% yield backing you up... paid to wait.. and people are scared of a small drop in PPS that rebounds in less a single day? Next week will be the run up prior to earnings. $29.40+
someone bought to soon too high,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Yep, he stands to lose his shirt
That's ok. Give me your money.
That because there is a big tendancy to spend what you make vice saving some if any of it. From the time I started working, I was forced to put money in savings. When I was no longer forced, I had knowledge and will power to put aside 10 percent. Doing this all along doesn't hurt a bit -- it's money you never had and you only miss it when you have it. See if someone makes 22K and gets by, then clearly someone that makes 25K can put away 3K and still get by.
I had to use some trickery at times. I used an out-of-state bank because it was harder to get at -- trust me, there is temptation. At one point I increased savings by amount of raises for several years. I had my ups and downs -- I dumped all into one fail safe investment -- learned that lesson.
I don't buy it that people can't save because most of my life I made under 25k a year and saved and invested. FWIW, I do make a good income now (and save little too), but point is savings is a disciplin and most really don't have it, or at least don't apply it. I hear whines from people that have basically nothing yet have a far greater income then I. Sure, I will agree that saving in a bank isn't an investment, but it is a start, was my start, and people need to do it as you have to have money to make money ... and it's not how much money, but simply how you apply it.
I think it is less than a lot think. Then you consider purchasing power over the past decade and shoot....see link..it is a few years old...
Day's Range was 28.00 - 28.60 so getting at 27.99, well that is tough esoecially those numbers! Last time I hit a bottom like that, I only picked up 25 shars out of the whole block (wouldn't have picked up any if "all or none"!). Think I'll have to call it how I see it...
Savings have only recently polked it's head above zero to 2% in this country, even with the median national household income being 55k. I've been playing catch up over the past 15 years. 5 kids, college, etc. I can't imagine a family making 25k being able to put as much as you suggest away. If they could they should run for Congress ;-)
I just bailed from CIM -- took my loss while under $4 and ran like heck! Dropping the DIV like they did, in such great times for MREITS, is sign it's in deep trouble!

Sparkly adventurous spirit looking for a companion
I'm a tall, adventurous, fun, confident, energetic, ambitious, creative, well-traveled female who is also considerate, playful, sincere, and down-to-earth. On a regular day/weekend in NOLA, I love experiencing the cultural activities in our city, relaxing at home, dining out, and visiting with friends. I like to make costumes and tend to have more photos taken in costumes, but I am not a "party girl". I am looking to share my life with someone who is honest, genuine, easy going, kind, considerate, upbeat, fun, adventurous, and intelligent. This gentleman would be my best friend and lover, and someone I can talk to about anything and share everything with. I love to laugh and hope to find someone I can have great banter with. If there's mutual interest, I would enjoy hearing from you. Let's get together and see if there's a connection, and if there's no spark, maybe we've both found a new friend. Good luck with your search.

Professional career[edit]
Early Years[edit]
Holmes was born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina and attended T.C. Roberson High School, where he excelled in football, basketball, and baseball. He was selected in the 16th round of the 1984 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers and opted to turn professional and forgo his scholarship at UNC.
Los Angeles Dodgers (1990)[edit]
Holmes went 0-1 in 14 games in 1990, his first action in the Major Leagues. On December 20, he was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers for Bert Heffernan.
Milwaukee Brewers (1991-1992)[edit]
In his first season with the Brewers, he was 1-4 with an ERA over 4.00, although he picked up his first three saves.[1] He pitched to a 4-4 record the following year, but had a dismal 4.72 ERA. Following the season, he was taken by the Colorado Rockies in the expansion draft.
Colorado Rockies (1993-1997)[edit]
Holmes first season in Colorado was not similar to his last in Milwaukee. He had a 3-3 record but his ERA rose to 4.05. In the strike-shortened 1994 season, Holmes went 0-3 with an ERA over 6.00.[2] When play resumed in 1995, he had a revival, going 6-1 with an ERA of 3.24 and helping the Rockies reach the playoffs. He threw 1 2/3 innings over three games and allowed six hits and two runs while striking out two.[3] In 1996, he again posted a dismal 5-4 record with a 3.97 ERA. His 1997 season is considered his breakout year. Despite a high 5.34 ERA, he was 9-2 on the season.[4] On October 27, 1997, Holmes was granted free agency.
New York Yankees (1998)[edit]
Holmes signed with the Yankees on December 22, 1997. In 34 relief appearances with the Yankees, Holmes posted an 0-3 record and a 3.33 ERA.[5] Despite not earning a win in the regular season, and picking up only 2 saves, he appeared on the Yankees postseason roster and earned a World Series ring when the Yankees swept the Padres in 1998.
Arizona Diamondbacks (1999-2000)[edit]
Holmes was traded to the Diamondbacks on March 3, 1999 for Ben Ford and Izzy Molina. He went 4-3 with a 3.70 ERA over 44 games. On April 28, 2000, he was released after posting an 11.57 ERA.
St. Louis Cardinals (2000)[edit]
Holmes signed with the Cardinals on May 4. He was 0-1 with a 9.72 ERA before being traded.
Baltimore Orioles (2000)[edit]
He was traded to the Orioles on June 28. In five games, he posted a 25.07 ERA. He was released on July 19.
Return to Arizona (2000)[edit]
On August 11, he was signed by the Diamondbacks again. He had a 6.75 ERA in four games. Overall, he finished 2000 with a 13.03 ERA in 18 games. He was released on October 13.
Out of the League (2001) to Comeback with Braves (2002-2003)[edit]
Holmes did not sign with anyone for the 2001 season. He made a comeback in 2002 with the Braves, where he was 2-2 with a sparkling 1.81 ERA over 55 games. He also threw 2 and 2/3 innings in the 2002 National League Division Series, allowing one hit while striking out five. He was re-signed after the season.
In 2003, he was 1-2 with a 4.29 ERA in 48 games. He retired after the season, citing his desire to spend time with his family. He still resides in Asheville and is an entrepreneur.

This site has Chess 960. There is another variation thet I think shoud be included. It's Hexagonal Chess. You can look it up here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_chess.
I say that this would make the site more interesting. People would have to learn the rules but it look fun. I'm not really a big fan of 960.
What was it that our beloved NM used to say over and over again....
Oh yeah. HOGWASH!!
hmm... It seems to jump out more when Reb writes it. I guess I need more practise.
how would rooks move in this? :P and there would be no different color bishops.....
click the link. As far as I understand, there are 3 colors here. Just click the link, it explains everything
I'd go for Glinski's starting position, or maybe the third one
This is interesting.
I've played it. It's a much more open game, because the pawns are not as effective at blocking pieces. For example, in Glinski's starting position, the middle bishop on each side can move through the pawn line. You can also move a central pawn and open up the rooks.
There are 3 different Versions of "Hexagonal Chess". Chess 960 is 1 of them, I would like to try this Hexagonal Chess this month. Also the other 2 Versions 1 with the Pawns in front of their Main Pieces has closer Resemblance to original regular Chess. The moves are very Similar to Regular Chess But NOT Identical. If I recall, Pawns can go Diagonally as well Straight Perpendicular to their Opposite 3 Hexagonal Sides. I also know that ALL 3 Hexagonal Chess Games have Unlimited or an INFINITIVE Number Exponentian Combinations of Moves Possible. This makes Hexagonal CHESSES, very COMPLEX to Master. But its better giving it a try, than be Ignorant, given this explanation, I do intend on Playing "Hexagonal CHESS". NOT concerned with "Checkmate" ,Just want the Experience Mind Enigma Stimilus of "HEXAGONAL CHESS"!!!!
Can we also add another one?
They played it on the Enterprise.
Try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seirawan_chess
I have a video on some concepts comparing hexagonal chess to regular chess (the pawn moves might be different than other hexagonal variants, but all the references to piece endgames should be the same)
Glinski's hexagonal chess and Seirawan chess are both excellent variants. Each, in its own way, represents a small and logical extension of the orthodox game.

Ralph Houk entered his second season as Tigers manager with high hopes. The transformation from the roster core that led the team to the 1968 World Series title and the 1972 AL East flag, to the youth movement that the Tigers were introducing, had been mostly complete.
The retirement of Al Kaline, the release of Norm Cash and the trade of Jim Northrup the year before meant that Willie Horton, Gates Brown, Bill Freehan, Mickey Stanley and Mickey Lolich were pretty much the only key components left from those glory years.
The Tigers were going to go with young guys like Ron LeFlore, Danny Meyer and Leon Roberts in the outfield, Tom Veryzer and Jack Pierce in the infield, and pitchers Vern Ruhle, Lerrin LaGrow and Ray Bare.
The Tigers did add a couple of veterans in the off-season: slugging 1B Nate Colbert from San Diego and slick fielding shortstop Gene Michael from the Yankees.
The new-look Tigers actually played pretty well---for about three weeks. The team got off to a 10-5 start and even led the division briefly. Then the Tigers could no longer hide their warts with makeup.
The lack of hitting, fielding and reliable starting pitching all combined to expose the 1975 Tigers as one of the worst teams in all of baseball.
The Tigers did their best to hang around .500, but by July the wheels started to fall off. Finally, they came off completely starting on July 29, with a loss to the Yankees in New York.
Eighteen games later---and eighteen losses later---the Tigers were without question the worst team in the league. A 19-game losing streak that didn't end until August 16 in Anaheim confirmed that.
Ironically, Horton, who had suffered through some injury-plagued years when the Tigers were still competitive, spent the horrific 1975 season as the team's first-ever full-time designated hitter and played in every game, healthy as a horse. Horton finished with 25 home runs, 92 RBI, and a .275 BA.
LeFlore provided some excitement with 28 stolen bases, but Ron was also caught 20 times, not a great percentage of success.
Veteran pitchers Lolich and Joe Coleman struggled, reflective of the team's performance. Lolich went 12-18 and Coleman was 10-18 with a 5.55 ERA, highest among regular league starters.
Colbert, by the way, was a complete bust and was sold to the Montreal Expos on June 15, with a grisly .147 BA in 156 brutal at-bats, a third of which resulted in a strikeout.
Houk's bunch finished 57-102, dead last in the AL East, the Tigers' first basement finish in over 20 years.By GregEno

CELEBRITY STYLE FASHION — 05 February 2013
Silver Linings Playbook actress Jennifer Lawrence took a risk in a blue two-toned strapless jumpsuit by Stella McCartney at the 2013 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, held in the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, California. The jumpsuit would have been more of a hit if it had not been for the flimsy bustier top and unflattering thigh shading. Lawrence finished the look with a pair of black pointed toe Casadei pumps.

Alan Turley
Alan Turley admits to feeling "broody" as Christmas approaches. When the feeling is upon him, the retired teacher sits down at his piano at home, as he has done every day for most of his life, and hatches a new carol, generally a new setting of a traditional carol. For years, as he puts it, he was "lucky enough" to have each new setting performed at Christmas by the Bristol Phoenix Choir, including versions of Silent Night, In the Bleak Midwinter, Away In a Manger, When Christ Was Born of Mary Free, and I Saw Three Ships. But mainly he just writes "for my own enjoyment — and because I am able to".
"I love carols and have been interested in them for years", adds Alan, 82. He also admits to being a "family" poet, writing poems about his family, past and present. He admires Seamus Heaney and Charles Causley, and has even set the latter's Nursery Rhyme of Innocence and Experience to music. How would he describe his own music, including his winning carol Nativity? "Unambitious but hopefully nicely formed, built on harmonies and sometimes showing glimpses of inspiration".
He began writing the odd piece of music for fun while at grammar school in the Forest of Dean just after the war ("just little things, nothing serious"), but other than learning the piano — which he plays by ear — he has had no training other than studying music as part of his School Certificate. After National Service in the Army he attended teacher training college in Cheltenham, where he learnt how to teach music as one of his subjects, ran the student choir for a year, played piano in a four-piece dance band at the "weekly hop" - and met his wife, Pat. He went on to spent 29 years as a teacher (of English, history and music, among other subjects) at Alexandra Park School in Bristol, where he developed a brass band for pupils - "they taught me to play a cornet, and I wrote some music for them". He also played the organ — which he taught himself to play — for 13 years at Flax Bourton parish church.
He adds: "I've always played early dance music — of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s — and can sit down at the piano and create an arrangement as I'm able to play by ear." He admits to being influenced by thegreat jazz pianists George Shearing, Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson, but is quick not to put himself in their league. He's also a fan of Benjamin Britten — and 20th-century composers in general.
He has found that composing has helped to alleviate the severe depression from which he used to suffer, and which led to his taking early retirement at the age of 51. For much of the past 25 years he has been a member of the Yatton Singers, a friendly group of village singers in Somerset for which he also has written "simple arrangements" of carols, folk and pop songs.
"I've always been interested in the idea of writing music. I can read music, but I prefer to sit at the piano and just play. My music comes mainly from that, from sitting at the piano. I start off with an idea, a phrase perhaps, that comes into my mind, and take it from there. I don't write the words first - generally the words and phrases come gradually together. I don't write to a set pattern, though. I have a lyrical streak that bubbles up sometimes, and that's when I tend to write something."
I started writing pieces as a schoolboy, just little things, nothing serious - nothing was ever performed"It's not completely random, because every year, at Christmas time, I start thinking that I would like to write a new carol or a new setting, not for someone to perform, but because I like doing it and am able to do it. 'Broody' is the best word to describe it."

Author has written 8 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh GX, How to Train Your Dragon, Digimon, Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh, Ben 10, and Black Cat.
Hey there!
If you have noticed there are fewer stories on my page, this is due to the fact I could no longer work on those stories because they were going no where. How ever, I do plan on adding to the ones that I have kept and editing them since I have grown as a writer. When I'll get around to this, I have no idea, between, life, work, school, friends, family and the boyfriend, it's really hard.
If I have removed any of your favorites, let me know in a PM and maybe we can do a rewrite Collab together in my free time.
As I manged a growth in writing, I do still suck at flawing my characters. I'm working on it still and if you would like to help me with it, that would be great. My favorite character, who is a multi-show OC is hardly flaws but isn't Mary Sue yet. If you would like to help me flaw her and her friends, it would be great.
Another reason why I haven't worked on Fanfics is because I am working on a lot of original stories. But I do plan on starting on Fanfics again.
Here are future fanfics you may see from me:

The pelvic shift lateral is about how we shift our weight side to side in gait as well as many other movements. The pelvic shift lateral is the tennis player prancing side to side as one volleys the tennis ball. The dancer performing a side leap, a glissade, is the pelvic shift lateral. The pelvic shift lateral is about the adduction and abduction of the legs in weight bearing.
The hip socket is a ball-and-socket joint. The head of the femur should roll inside of the deep socket of the hip. With abduction and adduction, visualize the head of the femur pivoting inside of the hip socket on the coronal- vertical plane. moves? If the greater trochanter did not move, were you initiating the movement from the pelvis?
The greater trochanter is a great landmark to understand the connection of the leg into the hip socket. The top of the femur is a wonderful structure like a flying buttress. It supports the pelvis and the entire torso. Feel the sides of your hips for a bony knob. This is the location of the greater trochanter.
With the pelvic shift lateral, you want to make sure that you are not rotating the pelvis or unleveling the hips. The movement should happen in the muscular connections of legs into the hip socket. This movement has similaries to the pelvic shift forward. The legs initiate the shift with core support. The back muscles should not shorten to get greater height.
Pelvic Shift Lateral
The movement
Were you able to shift the pelvis side to side with the greater trochanters remaining horizontally parallel to the floor? Where did you feel the movement, the legs or the back?
In standing, the pelvis shift forward and lateral is a dynamic relationship of the head-tail- heel relationship. It changes as we shift from one leg to another. Because of lack of stability of the muscles of the legs and torso, there could be a malfunction of this dynamic alignment. Sometimes the rotators of the hips are needed to maintain a good alignment of the leg. When the thigh is not well aligned over the shin and foot, this could lead to unleveling and/or rotation of the hip.
Triangle pose
With the spine in neutral, pelvic shift lateral to the side. The movement should happen at the hip socket. This is a great exercise to open the hips especially the ITB's.

Anyone who wants to give that a shot is absolutely welcome.

@Gambit1024: @Dunners: Very nice sketches brosss
@Gambit1024: How about that ?
I really loved your drawing so I gave it a try. I put some obvious colors, and I think it looks good. I didn't really know what to do with the spider symbol so I left it white for the moment, waiting for suggestions. I tried the red and white stripes (like, one leg white, one leg red and so on),but it didn't fit really well... Also, what's this belly button ? :p
BTW, the "American Arachnid" name you gave it is awesome !
@Dunners: Thanks! The helmet was the first thing I imagined. At first I thought of making it a full facemask, but that looked too Red Hood-looking.
@MadeinBangladesh: @PlasticBag: @Joygirl: Thanks guys :)
@Vermoot: That was the obvious color scheme I was going to put up, but... Idk. I feel it lacks something. I was thinking lots of black and red (similar to USAgent). Feels too Captain America and not enough Spider-Man, ya know? On the spider logo, I was thinking about doing an American flag print inside of it. Hard to explain, but that might be too complicated to put into such a small space. Idk what I want, lol. The button was supposed to fill the space for his not-utility belt, but now it just feels out of place and dumb, lol. Great coloring job, though :)
And yes, his name is American Arachnid, and I'm sticking with it :P
@Gambit1024: Yes some more original color scheme would be nice, but all I can think of looks too Iron Spider-y, or does not remind of the two characters enough. It's hard to think of something that looks like Captain America AND Spider-Man, but looks badass too ;)
Your design looks very Ultimate-like, idk why... Maybe because he looks so young :) Or because the Marvel NOW Cap costume looks like Ultimate cap. Anyways, it's great, I really like the idea !
@Vermoot: It's weird too, because Cap and Spidey have almost the exact same color scheme, lol. That's why I think something completely different, yet familiar (via USAgent) might be better for an amalgam like this. Originally I was going to use a more Venom-ish look, but the Iron Spider felt more..... patriotic? Idk, lol.
I was going for a younger Peter Parker, so that's probably why it looks Ultimate-like. The helmet design is also heavily inspired by the look Cap had in Ultimates 2. The one with his WWII helmet and the straps.
Kind of considering turning the helmet into a full face mask. This feels too Cap and not enough Spidey. Let me know what you guys think. :)

Douglas and Antoinette Carraway experienced racism at Walter Woodward Elementary School.
There were plenty of things said during the discussion about whether Manteca Unified School Board Trustee Sam Fant should face censure for his behavior surrounding a set of personal Facebook pictures of a district employee that took the air out of the room Thursday night.
Filling the seat vacated by Alexander Bronson could be the first time area-only elections are conducted in the Manteca Unified School District.
Both of the Manteca Unified school board members who were charged last month with a host of felonies stemming from a voter fraud inquiry into registering to vote to run for trustee positions they were not legally entitled were notified days in advance by the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office that the charges were coming.
This summer, Great Valley Writing Project at CSU Stanislaus will offer academic writing camps for K-12 students in Manteca, Ripon, and Tracy. Since 2005, these programs have been advertised as "GVWP Writing & Technology Workshops," but they recently changed their title to "Great Valley Writing Camps."
Facebook could be getting another Manteca Unified School District board member in trouble.
Claudette Alves chased her students through the bark, around the bars and up the flight of stairs that lead to the slides.
The San Joaquin AgFest Junior Show and Auction is scheduled next month.
Great Valley Writing Project at CSU Stanislaus will offer summer writing programs in Manteca, Ripon, and Tracy for students who are currently enrolled in grades K-12. Enrollment is open to the public.

A method for generating a variable frequency clock pulse for a raster scanner. First, a correction number, which may be the sum of corrections for scan-nonlinearity, polygon signature errors and motor hunt errors, is generated. This number is then added periodically to a running sum. The most significant bit of this sum is then available as the clock pulse output. The frequency of the output clock will be proportional to the correction number. The described circuit uses an accumulating adder and a register loop to form an accumulator circuit. The correction number is then supplied to the other accumulator adder input, and the register is clocked with a fixed frequency sample clock pulse.
1. A circuit for matching the current frequency of a bit clock to the current span speed of a raster scanner comprising:
means for generating a number which is a linear function of the instantaneous scan speed,
means for generating fixed frequency sample clock pulses, and
accumulator means for adding, at the time of each sample clock, the current sum of said accumulator to said number to generate a new sum, one bit of said sum being output as said bit clock,
wherein said number is a correction number for motor hunt, polygon signature and scan nonlinearity errors.
This invention is related to two previously filed patent applications entitled Polygon Signature Correction, Ser. No. 614,928, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,593 and Facet-To-Facet Motor Hunt Correction, Ser. No. 615,002, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,639,789 both incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention is a circuit for correcting for poylgon scan errors in a raster input or output scanner, and more specifically is a high speed digital circuit clocked by a fixed frequency sample clock to produce a bit clock which has a variable frequency to effect scan correction.
An optical scanner may consist of a rotating light deflector which displaces a spot of light across a flat "scan line". "Scan deflectance" is a function which relates the position of the spot on the scan line to the angle of the deflector. Its angular derivative "scan revolvance", relates the change in position of the spot on the scan line to the angle of the deflector. A bit clock is used to regulate the flow of data into or out of the scanner system.
For the scanning system to function properly, there must be a well defined relationship between the bit clock frequency and the scan revolvance. For example, if a constant density of information on the scan line is required, then it may be appropriate to use a bit clock of constant frequency and a constant scan revolvance. Generally, the uncorrected scanner's scan deflectance is non-linear. Therefore, its scan revolvance is not constant. For instance, a typical cause of non-linearity is that the distance of the spot on the scan line to the center of rotation of the deflector increases as the spot moves away from the center of the scan line. Other non-linearities may be caused by the particular design of the scanner system. Since the bit clock used to regulate the flow of data into or out of the scanner system is generally constant during a scan, efforts have been made to make the scan revolvance constant also. Lenses may be employed to correct for the above-mentioned non-linearity by bending the spot toward the center of the scan line as the spot moves away from the center.
The speed at which the spot moves along the scan line is called "scan velocity". Ideally, scan velocity is proportional to scan revolvance. However, there are several factors which affect the constant of proportionality.
First, a scanning system may employ a series of deflectors, called facets, in a poligonal arrangement to increase the efficiency of the scanner system. Due to manufacturing anomalies, all the facets of the polygon are not necessarily at the same optical distance from the scan line. This means that each facet has its own constant of proportionality relating scan revolvance to scan velocity. This is called "polygon signature". Second, the deflector(s) may not turn at a constant rate. This is called "motor hunt". These system scanning errors may be minimized by either improving the polygon and drive systems, or by varying the clock rate to compensate for the errors.
2. Prior Art
In the inventor's prior patent applications, Facet-To-Facet Motor Hunt Correction and Polygon Signature Correction, an electronic method of correcting the bit clock rate was described. A sample clock having a fixed frequency slightly greater than N times the bit clock is first generated. From this stream of sample clocks, the exact number of evenly spaced pulses is removed so that, after being counted down by a factor of N, the resulting bit clock frequency is exactly correct to compensate for the motor hunt and signature errors for the current facet. The circuit shown uses a microprocessor to generate the number corresponding to the number of pulses between deleted sample clock pulses. This number is used to load a counter which is clocked by the sample clock. Every overflow is sent to a circuit which deletes one pulse from the stream of sample clocks. The modified sample clock bit stream is then counted down by N to create the system bit clock. A problem with this circuit is that there are too many possible frequencies to store in a table look-up, and a microprocessor is not fast enough to calculate corrections in real time.
The circuit described herein is a digital bit clock generator for producing a variable clock frequency which can be changed at any time. Using this circuit, corrections for polygon signature, motor hunt and scan non-linearity can be adjusted many times per scan. Signature and hunt corrections are quantities that do not change during a scan, while scan linearity must be continuously adjusted. All are determined through a calibration procedure that is performed before the start of scan. The scan linearity correction can be generated by a counter which increments periodically during the scan. The counter output is used to address a PROM which outputs the correction. This scan correction can then be added to the signature and motor hunt corrections, and supplied to an accumulator which, on a clocked basis, adds the sum of corrections to its running sum. The accumulator will overflow more or less often, depending on the size of the correction number, and this overflow can be used directly as the variable clock.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the circuit.
FIG. 2 is a set of graphs showing the relationships between the correction number and the output frequency.
Scan velocity error in a laser scanner is a major contributor to pixel placement errors. One method of correcting these errors in the scanning direction is by using a variable frequency pixel, or bit, clock whose frequency is proportional to the spot scanning velocity. A quality scanning system using such a clock will require high pixel densities, maintained while the clock is rapidly changing frequency. A digital means of providing the required clock is described herein. By using this circuit to generate a pixel clock which has a frequency that is proportional to a changing scan velocity, a constant pixel density may be maintained. This will enable the simultaneous correction of polygon signature, motor hunt and scan non-linearity.
Polygon signature describes a printing artifact caused by a facet-dependent change in scan velocity. It does not vary with time, can be pre-determined, and must be corrected once per scan. Its correction requires high resolution and accuracy in the frequency generating device. Motor hunt is a term describing a variation in the angular velocity of the motor, and therefore the polygon, which, in turn, varies the scan velocity in proportion to the change in RPM. It must be measured and corrected at least once per revolution during scanning, but requires little performance in the frequency generating device.
Scan non-linearity results when an optical system does not produce a uniform spot displacement for each increment in rotation of the polygon. It is manifested by a scan velocity variation which is a function of polygon angle. It does not vary with time, can be pre-determined, and must be corrected many times during a scan. This requires a large dynamic range, and accurate frequency slewing properties in the frequency generating device.
The device used to achieve this high resolution and large dynamic range is a rate multiplier, implemented through the use of arithmetic. The output frequency of this device is generated by the state of the most significant bit of an accumulator which is accumulating a number N, as shown in FIG. 1. Assume FA is the frequency at which an accumulator is being clocked, R is the size of the accumulator and associated registers, in bits, and N is the number of sample clocks between bit clocks. Then the frequency out, FOUT, equals FA�N/2 to the Rth power. In other words, the output frequency is sample clock frequency reduced by the ratio of N divided by the size of the accumulator. That is, for every overflow there is an output bit clock.
Referring to FIG. 1, at the time of every sample clock pulse, the accumulated total in the register 10 is added in the accumulator 11 to N and the new total is reloaded into the register 10. The MSB of the register 10 can then be used as the bit clock, FOUT. One advantage of this system can now be seen, the output frequency is a linear function of the input number N.
This is not true in the prior art, where the number N is used in the denominator, resulting in the output frequency being a non-linear function of N. This is a result of this invention using addition instead of division for generating the output frequency. This relationship is illustrated in FIG. 2 which shows frequency out as a function of a variation in N for a three bit accumulator. For a three stage divider, a linear variation in N results in an exponential variation in frequency. In the three-bit accumulator, a linear variation in N results in a linear variation in frequency.
An additional benefit is the ease of computation. In the prior system using a divisor, there are too many values to be stored in a look-up table, and there is not enough time to efficiently calculate N in real time. This solution, based on addition, allows the speed generation of the proper bit clock frequency. This circuit uses this basic concept to simultaneously correct for motor hunt, polygon signature and non-linearity errors.
Linearity must be corrected for many times during each scan. For the typical case where the scan is lower at the center of its travel than it is at the ends, the scan can be divided into a number of segments, and a correction number N can be assigned to each segment. Counter 12 is reset at the beginning of the scan, and then incremented at the beginning of each segment. The counter output is then used to address a PROM 13, the output of which is the appropriate number, A, for that segment.
The signature and hunt corrections are both numbers that are constant for the duration of the scan. These are added, and buffered through register 14, to produce the number B. Numbers A and B are then added in the adder 15 to produce the current number N. The remainder of the circuit then performs as described above to produce output bit clocks at a frequency, FOUT.
While the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes will be made and equivalents may be subsituted for elements thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made without departing from the essential teachings of the invention.

Landon Donovan's Removal Makes Little DifferenceBy: Toni Matthews-El - May 24, 2014
As a football fan (soccer to those who don't watch it internationally), I admit there is a huge part of me that would like nothing more than for my United States men's team to swoop down on the competition at Brazil.
I would absolutely LOVE for America to leave the 2014 World Cup with the big award in hand.
However, I've made peace with the fact that to even get to the knockout round is itself a steep uphill climb for the US team. The United States will enter the Fifa World Cup in Group G. That means to advance we must overcome Portugal, Germany, and Ghana.
Ghana has knocked us out of the World Cup not once, but twice in the most recent competitions. While Portugal failed to advance at the same stage that the United States did in 2010, they at least have Cristiano Ronaldo. Finally Germany, who advanced to the quarterfinals and was knocked out by Spain, will be out for blood and will probably spill ours all over the field for the privilege of avenging their failure four years ago.
With this as the backdrop to our entrance into the World Cup, one has to ask, "Does it really matter that Landon Donovan was axed from the team?"
It was Donovan's inspired goal in 2010 that helped us advance to the knockout stage. But four years later, there's a lot of talk that Donovan just isn't inspired anymore.
While some question the wisdom of manager Jurgen Klinsmann's decision to leave out the team's most successful player, the man has made his sentiments known for some time. He already stated that there was a chance Donovan would be left out. It was up to Donovan to demonstrate the passion, drive, and ability make it. But the 32-year-old clearly came up short.
Then there is the huge elephant in the room that no American fan wants to address, but I pretty much had to in previous paragraphs—We probably do not have a snowball's chance in Hell this time around of winning the World Cup.
We drew one of the hardest groups of anyone at this tournament. Even if we somehow survive the group phase, it's very likely we will be crushed by any combination of opponents.
Even having said that, there's still the tiny part of me that dreams anyway and wants nothing more to be wrong. Strangely, it was never a dream that hinged on Landon Donovan. I think perhaps leaving the veteran out could inspire the team that made the cut to step up their game.
