Altera Motor Control Development Framework Delivers Unprecedented System Integration, Scalable Performance and Flexibility
Drive-on-a-Chip Reference Designs, Software and IP, and Hardware Development Boards Are Included in Scalable, FPGA-Based Motor Control Design Platform
San Jose, Calif., November 12, 2012 -- Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) today announced a new Motor Control Development Framework that delivers unprecedented system integration, scalable performance and flexibility, while at the same time significantly reducing development time and risks for motor control system designs. The framework includes a set of customizable, single and multiaxis drive-on-a-chip reference designs and a portfolio of motor control hardware development boards, coupled with a system and software design methodology, to support the diverse requirements of next-generation drive systems. Altera will demonstrate the framework at the SPS IPS Drives show in Nuremberg, Germany, in Hall 3, Stand 405 from November 27 to 29, 2012.
The framework exploits the digital signal processing (DSP) hardware and soft embedded CPU capability in Altera® Cyclone® IV and Cyclone V FPGAs, as well as the dual ARM® Cortex-A9 MPCore processors in the Hard Processor Subsystem (HPS) of Altera's Cyclone® V SoC FPGAs to provide flexible and optimal hardware/software partitioning that helps designers meet their specific end-application performance needs.
The Altera Motor Control Development Framework brings the ideal of a high-performance, drive-on-a-chip implementation to reality by combining the flexibility and performance of Alteras low-cost silicon with productive system-level design flows for motor control applications, said Christoph Fritsch, senior manager in the Industrial business unit at Altera. By providing an integrated motor control solution, including tools, IP, development boards and design methodology, combined with our Industrial Ethernet and functional safety offerings, designers can rapidly build differentiated drive platforms that also easily scale to meet evolving and future system requirements.
The Motor Control Development Framework maximizes designer productivity by providing a system-level development environment, allowing designers to use high-level software algorithms for system management and higher-level control functions integrated with accelerated low-latency control loops implemented in the FPGA. The framework supports a model-based design methodology in MATLAB/Simulink for the development of DSP-intensive motor control loops, such as those found in field-oriented control implementations. Optimal mapping to coprocessors in the FPGA and seamless integration with software running on integrated processors is achieved through Alteras DSP Builder and Qsys system-level design tools.
The Altera Motor Control Development Framework will be available in December 2012. For more information, please visit www.altera.com/end-markets/industrial/motor-control/development/ind-framework.html.

The 360 is also 7 years old. A new console should be out selling something that old.
Wow, a console that costs less than the Wii U which was probably heavily discounted for BF sells more than a brand new expensive console with a limited amount of units available for sale, who'd have thunk.......
Posted 27 November 2012 - 20:09
a) Heavily discounted old console with massive back catalogue
b) Limited stock Wii U, just like any console launch they don't have enough to go around.

this is obviously YMMV type of deal. Here on the east coast (specifically NJ) is very hard to come by. Toys R Us, Gamestop, Walmart, Target and Best Buy rarely have any in store (when they do its 2 or 3 of the basic console). Getting them online isnt as difficult but still a crap shoot (feel free to head over to bestbuy.com where both versions are sold out online - which I assume is nationwide)
Wii U is hardly limited stock. I see it everywhere and so do my friends in other parts of the country.
Posted 27 November 2012 - 20:12
Posted 27 November 2012 - 20:13
That's convenient, there could be any number of reasons, maybe pre orders didn't come to pick them up, etc...
Gamestop has completely sold out and are cancelling people on the waiting list, WiiU has also sold out in the UK a week before its even due out in the shops, just because there are a few on a shelf somewhere doesn't mean they aren't selling.
Posted 27 November 2012 - 20:15
There are plenty of them at all the stores around here. Craigslist is also filled with a million and a half people that are trying to make a few $ reselling them, but won't.
Nintendo is just doing a horrible time advertising it. I see commercials for Wii games, but the console itself is an afterthought at the very end.

Century Bank makes every effort to inform our customers of security related incidents--whether
suspected or actual--including security breaches, phishing scams, fraud attempts, etc. In addition
to this Alerts page, security related incidents may be posted on the Online Banking login page.
Card Fraud is on the rise.
Over the past several weeks there has been a sharp increase in automated PHISHING telephone calls;
e-mails and text messages to cardholders stating that cards were closed because of possible fraud.
Cardholders are then instructed to call another number to reactivate these cards. Once the cardholder
enters their card number and expiration dates the fraud begins. This scam began several years ago but
has suddenly been reactivated in recent weeks.
Each week it appears that this fraud scheme is hitting a different area of the country and many
unsuspecting cardholders fall for this scheme. Century Bank does not use an automated system and our
staff will never ask leading questions as noted above.
Many law enforcement communities have reviewed these cases and although the call may at first appear
to be domestic, they are actually being switched through foreign carriers and frequently originate in
other countries.
In light of these incidents, we want to remind you to NEVER give any information
about your card of this nature over the phone. Century Bank will NEVER request account, card, or PIN
information over the phone.
Please feel free to contact
Century Bank directly with any questions or concerns.

text: Urban Decay Native Naked Flushed Palette ($30.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a new trio that features a bronzer, highlighter, and blush. It is a follow up to Naked Flushed. This one seems to [attempt to] match the blush to the colors of Native Lipstick and Native Lip Pencil, which are both light-medium pinks. I don't think it's a great match for either the lipstick or pencil, as it is distinctly cool-toned, whereas the lipstick is warm-toned and the pencil more neutral-to-warm-toned. To me, the color is a better match for Obsessed Lipstick. I didn't like the original Naked Flushed palette, as I felt like the texture was firm and drier, but I didn't love this one either, as it was powdery–makes me feel a bit like Goldilocks. Though you'll see excess powder as you grab product onto your applicator, it doesn't seem to look powdery on the skin, so that's definitely a plus. It's not ideal to have so much excess sitting on the surface of the pan when there are three shades that sit next to each other. The highlighter emphasizes pores/skin texture, which is a drawback. If used lightly, that effect can be lessened, but some care is required–it's not foolproof.

Social Security is a Dead Man Walking
The Social Security system was a boondoggle from the beginning. It was never intended as a retirement activity. It was purely another means to collecting tax from the worker. It just so happened that the growth of population supported the "Ponzi" scheme to the extent that Government officials could at least plausibly defend that you will get your "Investment" + growth when you retire.

What speakers actually sound better & have more bass? The Zeppelin Air or MM-1?
- Asked by Rowell D
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air Speakers with 30-Pin Connector
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
The Zeppelin Air has more bass than the MM-1, but one could argue the MM-1 has a more refined and balanced sound. Also you can physically move the MM-1 speakers to provide separation, while the Zeppelin Air is an all-in-one unit.

First Thanks for the great plugin!
There is only one issue I have: After someone typed in a 'wrong' username, there is no chance, to insert a new one as no matter what you do, you get an error message saying that your username must be at least 4 characters long.
The only workaround is to empty the local browser cache.
Is anyone else having the same problems? is there a workaround?
Many Thanks for any help!!
BTW: I don't use any cache plugin!

I was asked if I had a breakdown of all the sacks that Pittsburgh Steelers rookie linebacker Jarvis Jones had last season at Georgia and while I have seen them all before, I went back and pulled them and made animated gifs out of them for you.
While I didn\'t get real thorough in my annotations of each, I have included what to look for on each of them and the approximate time from snap to sack.
You will notice that a few of the 14 sacks that Jones was credited with last year were awarded him due to intentional grounding by the quarterback. A few more include him chasing down the quarterback outside of the pocket and the remainder mostly include him rushing from the outside either unblocked or around the outside of the tackle on the edge.
One of the things that sticks out the most in all of these clips is just how athletic Jones really is. On the flip side, however, he is merely a speed rusher, and you will notice that none of these sacks are a result of him bull rushing or manhandling a tackle. This is one of the things that he will have to add to his repertoire at the next level as he just simply won\'t be able to beat every single tackle to the edge the way that he did in college.
Feel free to add your own observations below and make sure you give the page enough time to load all 14 animated gifs.
If you want to see the video of each play, simply click on the picture, and it should take to the actual play in a Youtube video.
ETA: If you are having problems with this many gifs on one page you can view each in a new tab by right clicking on each.
It is interesting to see in some cases he comes out of no where and suddenly pops into the back field. Some of these college QBs held on to the ball about 40 seconds too long, but it does seem that Jarvis can be disruptive. Time will tell.
A sack is a sack; he appears to be a lot faster than the 4.9 he ran at his Pro Day. However, I agree with the Author, even though he seems to be very atheletic, he doesn't appear to be that strong. He reminds me of a taller version of a Joey Porter, quick enough to get around LT's. He will definitely have to work on his skills if he is ever to be a Premiere OLB in LeBeau's Defense. If he works on his strength, works hard during practice, he could possibly see a great deal of playing time in 2013. A Day 1 Starter? I'm not quite ready to go there yet.
I'm worried a little by the film. He gets covered easily by a blocking tight end, doesn't show any significant physicality and just looks quick but a bit weak.
I like the Joey Porter comparison, and I will be honest – I have no recollection of what Porter looked like in College – but he's basically the opposite of Harrison. He doesn't show a swim move, a bull rush or any use of leverage.
Someone explain to me how this kid has the skills to kick ass on the next level. I'm not doubting he's a great athlete, but now I'm a little worried that he's the wrong kind of athlete
I have heard a lot of talk how most of his sacks were flukeish, but id say that overall, he did a good job getting to the quarterback to get the sack. I'd say he didn't get any luckier than any other OLB.
This was my fist time to see Mr. Jones in action. These are my impressions:
The good:
* Good motor. Didn't seem to give up on many plays.
* Finds the ballcarrier in traffic and isn't afraid to stick his nose in the pile.
* Very nice burst off the line.
The Bad:
* Appeared very, very small. Not only looked small, but also not very muscular. Looked like a Safety playing LB.
* Like to smack runners with his shoulder instead of wrapping them up. (This such a bad trait that it really should go in the next category.)
The Ugly:
* Any blocker who laid a glove on him before he turned the corner easily redirected him out of the play.
* No inside move whatsoever. Either he has none or the coaches told him never to use it.
He needs to pack on the pounds to be as good as we all hope he is. In Rooneys We Trust. Go Steelers!
He looks quicker than any other player, I don't' think the Steelers have ever had a player quite like him. Much faster than Porter, quicker than Harrison. He 's very good and will cause problems for the offense having to account for him. I like the way he can play either side. Hopefully Tomlin uses him. They need a new dynamic on the defense
I passed him from behind on the access road by the Duquesne Incline during OTAs and thought is was one of our defensive backs from behind. Honest injun. If he's 240 lbs, he's got quarters in his socks. The guy is built, but looks more like that Pollard guy the Rat birds had last year than a typical LB. I don't see him starting day one unless there is an injury. My guess for 2013 he'll be a special teams terror until he puts on about the additional 15 lbs of meat on his bones he'll need to succeed at RT OLB.
Jones was impressive against Alabama's passing game in the SEC championship. He beat both Fluker (1st round pick) and Cyrus Kouandjio (future 1st round draft pick) by recording 2 sacks and a forced fumble. He also beat Xavier Nixon from Florida who is an NFL caliber tackle. He has a great motor and often looks like the fastest player on the field even against elite competition which is a good sign. He's like a combination of Bruce Irvin from Seattle and Joey Porter.
great great post dave! i love his speed rush, i just wish he used some other tools like a bull rush or spin move. he's going to need them. if all a lineman has to be prepared for is a speed rush then jarvis is gonna get beat
This is not an upgrade over Harrison. Tackles in the NFL are huge and he mostly outruns people in these clips–that isn't happening in the NFL. He doesn't have enough muscle to get leverage like Harrison did. He is going to be stopped at the first contact against an NFL lineman. This pick is going to be a bust.
A safety is not going to get by an NFL level tackle.
You said it. This guy is going to get blocked.
Until he gets all the moves of a pro OLB, I can only see him so far in situational downs. Used as a speed rush decoy as the ILB's stunt or to open a lane on the outside for a corner/safety blitz. Love his motor and he keeps playing, finding the QB after taking a couple of hits. He's either fast, or the OT's he played against never watched film. Unless he rushed inside and was feared for his speed, I don't know how the OT's let him by. And, MOST NFL QB's don't do 7 step drops and keep drifting back into an outside rusher. Looks like he has the athleticism to develop a spin move. Needs it at next level. Would like to see some plays where he goes inside without a stunt to judge his strength. Apparently, he wasn't too successful at sacks with it if he did, but he has to play the run too?
Many of the sacks seem to be coverage sacks and not Jones using moves or power to get to the QB.
So last season everyone complained about Woodley being too fat, while Worlids looks like a defensive tackle trying to play linebacker and Harrison was clearly beginning to show his age. Now, people on this site want to rag on Jones for being too small and "merely a speed rusher". Yes, he's not built like James Harrison and isn't going to bull doze offensive tackles, but speed kills. Also, stop dismissing the fact that he played against elite competition in the SEC and led the conference in sacks for 2 years. Call his sacks what you want, but a sack is sack and he always seems to be around the ball.
Jones played against several NFL level tackles in the SEC.
Jones is stronger than he looks. He put up 20 reps on the 225 lbs. bench at his pro day. To compare, Terell Suggs put up 19 reps at his pro day coming out of college. Give Jones a chance and some time to develop.
Gimme sacks everywhere. Inflated stats for sure. I'm so fucking unimpressed for a first round pick.
are you a steelers fan? i mean the dude dominated the best division in college football for 2 years and youre calling him a bust before he has taken a single rep in training camp? cmon man
Interesting…I like the information that you've presented here. I admit that he sure does look undersized for an OLB, but boy the guy has closing speed. It's like he's got an extra gear that he can kick into when needed. That being said, I would sure like him to be able to work through blockers a little bit better (with a little more strength) rather than just using his quickness.
Excellent post, Dave. One of the best all year IMO. Especially during this dead time. Thank you.
A lot of people here are comparing Jarvis to James Harrison. To which I respond:
Which James Harrison? The 2002 James Harrison who weighed 240 pounds coming out of college? And did 28 bench reps at his pro day? And ran a 5.0 forty? And went undrafted? And got cut from Steelers and Ravens? That James Harrison?
Or the James Harrison after 5 years of development? And strength training? And technique work? And learning how to thrive in our system?
The James Harrison we know and love looked nothing like that player coming out of college. He had to develop. Jarvis will develop as well (I hope). Jarvis and James have different builds but they both hit the QB with similar suddenness and ferocity. They both appear to have good play recognition and awareness and motor. And both seem to understand angles and display that inate ability to get to the ball.
Jarvis has a ways to go in strength and technique training. But lest we forget, so did James.
Glad you're not running Steelers' draft, because it appears you have no clue what you're talking about. It's also apparent you never paid any attention to how Jarvis does it. Leaning on OTs to outmuscle them & to out-leverage them is one/classic way, but the Harrison way is not the only one way to do it, as Jarvis style showed at Georgia. Ditto with disengaging, Jarvis does it by not getting swallowed up headlocked to begin with. Jarvis had instincts last year waaay beyond what Harrison brought into NFL when Harrison was a rookie.
I think the draft bashers on this thread will eat crow in a couple years, that prompted me to squash the narrow-minded comparison that the only way to be a good OLB is to outmuscle OTs & lock-up with OTs to use leverage like Harrison did. It's narrow-minded to say the only way to get it done in the NFL is to be Harrison outmuscling leaning on OTs. Thats not the only way to get it done. I watched Jarvis plenty & he brings instincts way beyond what Harrison brought to NFL.
For example, the same bashers of Jarvis would bash Polomalu for not being muscle-bound weight-lifter like the other strong-safeties look. Yet Polo made impact plays better than all the many muscular strong safeties. If you bulked Polo up to 240 lbs to play OLB, Polo would be built unimpressive like Jarvis yet Polo would be an impact player at OLB. Not by just leaning on OTs. Jarvis makes many big plays by bouncing off people like Polo does. And Jarvis disengages via not getting swallowed up headlocked to begin with, he bounces.
Re speed: out-of-view in at-least one of those gifs was Jarvis downfield with his back to QB because running downfield in pass coverage, then Jarvis did 180 turn & outran his team (which included safeties) which was pursuing QB to sideline, Jarvis outran his safeties etc, nailed the QB near sideline behind line of scrimmage. Football speed vs combine speed!
The only thing I agree with the Jarvis bashers is no rookie was gonna start at OLB for Steelers this year regardless. I understand the people who only watched the Steelers are only accustomed to seeing big muscles of Suggs & Harrison & Woodley. We've tried it that way with Woodley, give Jarvis a chance to do it his way which is much different but a great knack. Jarvis showed that football speed is different from combine speed. Brett Kiesel & Aaron Smith each showed you don't need to look like any bodybuilder Ziggy. Many bodybuilders in NFL at OLB & DE disappointed in NFL.
Thank you! Finally, someone who actually gets it.
You mean James Harrison.. DPOY James Harrison… one of the most feared players ever to play the game James Harrison? Well, yea at this point Jarvis is not an upgrade over Harrison.. but time will tell, even Harrison needed a few yrs to improve, progress and make an impact
Everyone screams how small he is.. well maybe just maybe that's because we're used to converting college DEs!! A couple yrs of strength training and this guy could be scary good
Very good short area quickness and motor.. and if you click and watch some of the videos you can see him doing some good things.. closes on the ball quickly and he is capable of bullrushing some, he just needs to put on some more muscle. A few yrs of strength training and conditioning and this kid could be very good
Woodley returning to form will be very very good for this Team, but imagine a future where Jarvis Jones, Timmons, Vince Williams, and Adrian Robinson are on the field at the same time… could be VERY dangerous for opposing QBs and RBs
Yep, 5 years before he became a starter.
Loiok at his lower body–his legs are sticks. These so called highlight sacks show him running past a tackle while the college level qb takes a seven step drop and fucks around getting the ball off because he is a college qb. A pro qb has the ball long gone before you can run fifteen yards around the tackle to get to the qb. So when a running play comes at him, he is going to get blown off the LOS. The Steelers couldn't defend the run on the right side with fat ass Woodely and Ziggy Hood. Teams didn't run at Harrison. Now they will run left and right. Colbert has fucked up another draft.
He is running fifteen yards around the tackles on these clips and getting to a college QB who is taking six or seven seconds to get the ball away. And he is only facing single blocks in these clips. He isn't getting double teamed like he will in the NFL. Hell most of these so called highlights are coverage sacks where he finally outruns a tackle who had him initially blocked. When he develops in five years? Steelers will suck by then anyway.
The natural talent is there. Once the coaches work on his skills, and he bulks up a little……watch out!
If Teams start double teaming Jarvis that's one less blocker, it opens someone else up, so if your prediction comes to fruition, I'll take it
Looking at your comments and football acumen I must say……..your name says it all.
Hmmmm #2 against the run last year. Those stats were attained by stops on the opposite side only? smh
Greg Loyd was similiar build at rolb! and he was pretty damn good!
If you only look at the sacks you miss his other attributes, watch him for an entire series on you tube. He is high energy
God Bless you Dave this is great stuff you don't get anywhere but from you.
watch the language here.
A lot of people seem to be forgetting another rather athletic pass-rusher who went on a tear in 2012. Aldon Smith of the 49ers, anyone? (6'4, 258) He was a beast, and he made O-linemen look foolish, because he could out-quick and out-maneuver them. Ben is NOT stronger than the linebackers he's made a career of shaking off. He just understands how/when to escape their pressure and use their momentum against them.
Why don't we watch Jones develop in the Steelers system before passing judgment, hmm? I mean, I know most of you could GM the team to three consecutive Super Bowls from your La-Z-Boy, just but humor me.
Let's hope Vince Williams and Robinson can develop into starters. The truth behind the Jarvis Jones pick was that the defense needed a pass rushing OLB to contribute early. They obviously have doubts about Worilids and don't have time to develop another defensive end from college and wait 3,4, or 5 years until they see the field. Jones was simply the best 3-4 OLB option in this draft and he'll develop earlier because of his college experience.
Well yes, of course my "imagine" comment is meant to be a dream sequence haha.. its still very early in the Robinson and Williams saga..and neither may pan out as full time starters, just a thought, as they say time will tell
yep, another 10Lbs of muscle and this kid could be a force
These are college level tackles you are ga ga over. On every one of these sacks they don't set their feet nor their body position on edge on any of these plays like a pro tackle will do. Where did you play football? A flag league with girls?
James was less then 5-10, so how do you say he is small? Urlacker was originally a safety and was moved to LB because he like to hit and was fast and I see the same with Javis.
Troy does it all the time!
You are giving red necks a bad name – we got a troll here! Look at the 4th from the end clip he beats a OT and a RB.
Yep… I would rather see sacks against Alabama, Florida, and Nebraska vs. seeing sacks against Washington State, Cal, and Oregon State. I would also add that Mingo playing in the same conference vs. the same level of o-linemen managed 15 career sacks. Jones had 14.5 just his senior year and 28 total in two years. This guy is gonna get to the quaterback.
Something else to consider: having a quick, agile, high-motor guy might bring a new wrinkle to our D when we're playing the Cam Newton/RG3/Colin Kaepernick/Russel Wilsons of the league. Hell, I remember some doofus named Tebow that beat us a couple years ago…
Thanks Dave – totally enjoyed the GIF's – Good job.
Red: Yes pro OTackles set their feet, but ya cant breed a OLB bigger than 330 lb OTs. If OT sets his feet, Jarvis' technique in college was to bounce off & bounce thru the trash, not get sucked into chest of the 330 lb OTs which is what the OTs want ya to do. They're always gonna grow OTs bigger than any OLB you can make. If you had watched LBs in NFL you woulda known there's other ways to get it done. But you assume Troy Polo got his sacks & stops behind line of scrimmage by bullrushing OTs? Troy is even lighter than Jarvis. Did you ever watch any of the many plays Troy Polo made plays behind the line of scrimmage?
If use your rationelle that success in NFL is proportional to size & since ya mentioned Ziggy, using your rationelle of whether a guy on the street looks like an NFL player, Zigmeister musta been an all-pro impact DLineman in NFL & little Troy Polomalu & Will Allen stunk because those 2 don't look like NFLers when they are on the street.
But I do agree with one point of yours which is teams would run at Jarvis. If I were an opponent I too would run right at any rookie OLB who's best aspect is pass rushing. But LeBeau's history is to not start any rookie or player until LeBeau thinks the player can defend the run. That's one of the reasons I agree with another poster that probly the only time Jarvis plays on D this year would at-most be in pass rush situations. Odds are Steelers plan is the rookie wouldn't play D as a rookie until Worilds is injured & probly not even til Worids plus one other OLB is both injured.
And one thing people forget is the number of converted DEs who never panned out & it took too long to find out they couldn't play. There were big OLBs Steelers drafted who were built bigger than Jarvis because they were small DEs in college. Steelers drafted them to groom & assumed they would eventually learn OLB after a few years, but some of those never became impact players.
JC I think all that is exactly why Steelers drafted Jarvis. And oooh boy I wanna see what VinceW & Robinson can do.
Are you kidding? Polamalu is a free safety–if he ever rushed it was against a known play where no one was going to block him… They don't give OLB's that kind of inattention… If I had watched LB's? And you are talking about a free safety? You don't get free runs to the QB in the NFL–left offensive tackles are paid millions to ensure that. These sacks don't happen. You have to be able to disengage yourself.
Polo plays the strong safety position, always has, & Polo gets plenty of attention from offensive coordinators – offenses know Polo could blitz. But I agree those points of yours there which is OTs do get paid millions to focus on pass-rushing OLBs. We'll see if he gets permanently entangled on too many plays, one or the other of us is eventually gonna be wrong on Jarvis. Most of my hunch is based on trying a new route to "get er done" (to quote redneck Larry the CableGuy)..
I'm encouraged & trust that D.LeBeau likes the kid, but think of Jones as the #3 OLB at least for this year. I look at him like Gildon backing up Lloyd/Greene & Harrison backing up Porter/Haggans. It's not a bad thing, & he should continue to get stronger. I've never questioned K.Colbert & OLB was a need, I was hoping they would go after the ND TE, but I can't argue selecting J.Jones.
He played in a speed conference and excelled..more than any other LB in fact. Your point is invalid and since you went there…
Yeah; I played flag football with your mom, she tackled me in front of your house though and I hit my head on your trailer steps. Man…she sure could run..just ask your dad…he couldn't get away. smh
I just want to say, you think the steelers scouts don't realize all of these "flukey/gimme" sacks everyone is complaining about? They have looked at the film for a much longer time with more insight and perspective than us fans… not saying he is 2013 ROY but damn he dominated the SEC for 2 years! Give him a chance. Pitt knows backers. I agree he has to bulk up but that's just training and development
Great post and comments. Only thing I'll add is that he closes on the QB unbelievably fast. One clip (the sack against SC) shows him go from standing straight up to shoestring tackling the QB in warp speed. Reminds me of a graphic that Fox showed once to demonstrate Troy's closing speed. He looks much quicker than a 4.88 40.

THE Mombasa county government will construct about 3,000 kiosks for hawkers.
The deal will see construction of new kiosks, installation of streetlights and standard toilets in designated areas in the CBD.
The project will cost Sh600 million.
The hawkers, under the Association of Medium and Small Enterprises, said they were left out of the deal.
They said they were not invited to the signing ceremony of the agreement at the governor's office yesterday.
Trade executive Mohammed Abdi said hawkers were represented by the Kenya National Chambers of Commerce and Industries chairman James Mureu.
Speaking during the ceremony, Abdi said an investor, Goshen Investment Ltd, approached the county government to sign the deal.
Goshen will put up kiosks along identified roads in the CBD and outside the island while the county government will put up toilets and streetlights.
The identified areas are Mbaraki, Mwembe Tayari and Buxton.
Construction of the kiosks will be completed in six months.
Mombasa Hawkers' Association organising secretary Boniface Owino said the deal signed will not resolve their problems.
"These planned structures will take about a year to be completed. Where do they expect us to be earning our living?" he said.
"After the construction, the investor and the county might allocate them to other people," he added.

Anyone have adrenal fatigue and how did it affect your child/pregnancy/labor? Both my sisters have autoimmune diseases, (one has Lupus, one has Addison's) and two years ago I had many of the same symptoms as my sis who has Addison's. It was a very bad period of no energy, constant nausea, migraines, nightsweats,swollen lyph nodes, salt wasting, digestive issues, hair loss, hypoglycemia, and I wasn't ovulating. I was on replacement progesterone as well as estrogen, but no one would check out the adrenal issue because I hadn't had an adrenal crisis. I had really hoped for a full diagnosis before I became pregnant, but it didn't happen. I worry that the likelihood that I have a undiagnosed issue with my adrenals will affect my unborn child, make labor dangerous, and that I will completely crash afterwards and not be able to take care of my child. Plus, with my age (38 when baby is due) I worry about bouncing back and being able to care for baby and go back to work, much less wether I will be able to bear another child.
If you did have any adrenal issues, how did breastfeeding go? Were you able to BF? And did it help your energy levels or drain them?

Gear Review
Good lightweight and versitile
Used the Hirundos primarily for alpine and ice. Wanted a harness that was lightweight, yet comfortable for belays and rappelling. In regards to fit, I have had trouble finding a harness that fits my waist and legs (i.e. smaller waist to quad ratio) and this has been a great fit. I do wish the rear gear loop were a bit more forward and the ice clipper slot inside the loop. Also, wish there was a haul loop. Overall, good harness. If it packed down a bit more (i.e. softer) and had the above changes, it would have been five stars.

Oil cooler for KTMs
RELAX! I know this idea has been around the block for the LC4 but this is just a thought and a FYI for those with RFS bikes. It is from Joe Racer Products, a guy about here (don't know his handle) and supposedly a bang up feller! He organized the recent Clear Creek trial that looked like a hoot!
Anyways, here is his webpage:
Now this is a done deal for the RFS so if y'all want to cool your bikes properly then buy it! The price is cheap IMO.
Now for the LC4...
what'd'ya think? I know my bike heats up something fierce in the summer: would this help? I remember the discussion about oil coolers making the oil too cold so maybe there could be a petcock for the circuit?
I am more interested in a manual switch for the radiator fan, or better yet a second fan/cowling with a manual switch
but this also looks like an interesting idea.

We know the supply curve for water is not easily changed, (That is, it's not easy to make rain!) so let us assume a "fixed" supply (In other words, the supply curve is vertical at a given point in time). We also know during times of drought, people are encouraged to conserve water usage. When conservation happens, what happens to the price of water? What are the implications for the success of conservation measures and policies?
1 Answer | Add Yours
First of all, we have to realize that the price of water is fixed in most markets. Governments set a price for water and that price does not change. This means that drought would not affect prices. I will, however, answer this question assuming that the price of water is set by supply and demand.
As your question tells us, the supply of water tends to be rather fixed. Therefore, it can be graphed as a vertical line. This implies that only the demand for water can move. So what happens when people are encouraged to conserve water? What happens is that they use less water (assuming they are actually practicing conservation techniques). If they are using less water, then demand for water is dropping. This is shown by a movement of the demand curve down and to the left.
If the demand curve goes down and the supply curve is vertical, we end up with a drop in the price of water. A drop in the price of water will encourage people to use more water. This will work to defeat the purpose of conservation. As people conserve water, the price drops, encouraging them to use more water. This implies that it will be hard for conservation policies to work if the price of water is free to change with supply and demand.

Byzance by Rochas
Byzance comes in a pretty little cobalt blue bottle with gold lettering. Oh, how I wish the first stage of Byzance lasted- a perfect combination of citrus, vanilla, musk, and white floral notes of jasmine and lily of the valley. After wearing Byzance for 10 minutes the musk overtakes every other note and to me smells like a musty wet chalkboard. Some types of musk always turn on me I'm afraid. I will give this a neutral because on the right person this would be very elegant and sexy.

Still with Cherry, the wild floral design of his jacket was likened to a bedspread by host Ron MacLean. Ralph Mellanby, who hired Cherry for Hockey Night in 1981, said yesterday, "I think he's being dressed by Cirque du Soleil." The first game of the Stanley Cup final (Edmonton Oilers-Carolina Hurricanes) on the CBC drew 3.003 million viewers, down marginally (1 per cent) from the opener of the Calgary Flames-Tampa Bay Lightning final in 2004.via the Toronto Star,
While most other pro hockey players who pursue endorsement contracts command between $10,000 (all figures U.S.) and $90,000 a year, Crosby is said to receive at least $500,000 per deal per year. (By contrast, the Penguins pay him $850,000 a year plus bonuses.) One person familiar with the matter said Crosby may garner as much as $600,000 from the Subway restaurant chain. (Crosby's agent, Pat Brisson, said no deal has been finalized; He said he's still in talks with four restaurant chains and three domestic auto makers about Crosby.)via the Edmonton Sun,
Gary James was led away in handcuffs Monday night from the RBC Center, simply for throwing a piece of Oilers good luck Alberta beef on the ice in Raleigh, North Carolina - as he and CISN's Chris Scheetz have done at most of the Oilers' away playoff games since the Detroit series. "I've got a court date now," says Gary. "It's all a little extreme for a practical joke. The handcuffs were a bit of a power play. Trying to make a statement about arena rules and the Oilers, I suspect."via the Idaho Statesman,
We dug through all of the personalized plates in Idaho, almost 60,000, to find the best sports plates. Surprisingly, more NHL teams rated personalized plates than NBA teams.via the Toronto Star,
Cherry let an expletive fly on air as a Carolina player skated close to him as he stood on the ice prior to the start of the Stanley Cup final opener. "Holy sh--!" Cherry exclaimed in an expletive heard across the country.via Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
Get ready for the return of The Dominator next season. Unless Senators GM John Muckler soon has a change of heart, there's a strong chance Dominik Hasek could be back with the club at training camp in September.

A Different Type Of Fan
by Paul on 06/07/06 at 08:37 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Rocky Mount Telegram,
Fans of the Carolina Hurricanes, who are in the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in five years, have never really been accepted by the hockey community. That is because they do things no other team's fanbase can claim or even fully understand. They tailgate for hours before each game, setting up picnic tables and lawn chairs in the parking lot of the RBC Center. They cheer every routine save, shot and body check. If you listen closely, you can hear small pockets of fans clapping every time 5-foot-10 Chad LaRose manages to clear the boards and jump back on the bench. They didn't sell out the Eastern Conference finals against Buffalo, and saw the amount of Sabres fans inside the RBC Center grow in each game. But here's the thing: They do love their Hurricanes. They just love them differently. They love them like a mother loves her child.more

Hockey Is Still Foreign To People
by Paul on 06/07/06 at 08:33 AM ET

from Bob Foltman of the Chicago Tribune,
Now, one of the most interesting aspects of the Stanley Cup Finals and something that I missed dearly Monday is the press conference with Commissioner Gary Bettman before Game 1. This usually becomes "cup overflowing vs. cup bone dry." First of all, the ratings are not going to be good--unless of course there is a terrific thunderstorm stretching from one coast to another, forcing people to sit inside, knocking out the cable and satellite service and leaving just NBC available. Then maybe, just maybe, the ratings will be poor instead of wretched. The reason many give for low ratings--aside from the fact that Americans hate hockey and it's all Bettman's fault, as if the sport were turning away people because of its popularity before--is small-market teams in Carolina and Edmonton. That's true, but not because of the reasons many think.read on

via the NY Times,
The good news for OLN was that Game 1 produced a rating more than four times above its regular season average. The bad news was that the 0.9 rating was 23 percent lower than the 1.15 for Game 1 on ESPN in 2004. More significantly, viewership for the game fell 37 percent to 861,156.

Brind'Amour Accused Of Cheating
by Paul on 06/06/06 at 10:54 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
The Oilers, in turn, have labelled Brind'Amour - the league's top faceoff man this season - a 'cheater' on faceoffs. Oilers centre Shawn Horcoff wasn't shy about saying that at all. Brind'Amour fared better than 80 percent on the draw, compared to about 30 percent for Horcoff. The Oilers argue this was made worse by the fact that Brind'Amour's a veteran who gets benefits from the linesmen.read on...plus the goalie situation for Edmonton...

Does OLN Favor Edmonton
by Paul on 06/06/06 at 07:52 PM ET
Comments (0)
Today Detroit radio listeners are getting a treat. First Peter Karmanos (see earlier post today) and now Aaron Ward on WDFN. Ward mentioned OLN is so pro Oilers. He mentioned he didn't know if Doc Emrick had enough time to take off his Buffalo Jersey to put on his Edmonton jersey. Funny, I really didn't notice much favoritism last night. Ward said he arrived at the arena yesterday at 4pm and the parking lot was one big party. A different type of crowd, but still fun. Aaron mentioned he did not think the penalty shot call last night was justified. Claims the Canes dman never closed his hand on the puck, just pushed it along with his fingertips. Ward said he was talking to Devorsky during the goalie change last night, Ward thinking the media would be all over the Canes for running Roloson. Devorsky told him that it was Bergeron who caused the collision and Ward mentioned the Oilers did a class move in the post-game by mentioning that and putting any controversy to rest. Special note to Detroit area fans- Aaron was asked about coming back to Detroit since he is an UFA after this season. He said he did not think he could live in the same city as Art Regner. He said Regner is not the hockey authority that people think he is.

from the CP via the Globe and Mail,
The Stanley Cup has been projected the full length of the ice as part of the Carolina Hurricanes' video package during home games of the NHL playoffs this spring. A word is boldly displayed across the top of the magnificent silver trophy: DESTINY. It is, oh, so fitting. Few teams throughout the years have had fickle fate swing their way so significantly in the post-season.continued

Detroit Sports Talk Radio & The SCF
by Paul on 06/06/06 at 05:13 PM ET
Comments (0)
Over the last few days, the talking mouths have been asking, why isn't Detroit interested in the Stanley Cup Finals? They go on to blame OLN and Bettman for the lack of coverage, etc. But I know for a fact, 99% of southeastern Michigan has access to OLN. The real problem and this even was an issue during the regular season, is these guys don't have the hockey knowledge to present the facts to the fans and they only talk about topics that they consider "hot". My solution to this problem, get some hockey experts on the radio. Kevin Allen appears 2x a week and is always taking questions from fans, other than that, Scotty Bowman was on during the season, but no questions were allowed for Scotty. Also, Mickey Redmond appears on a FM station, and he too is bombarded with questions from hockey fans. The problem is they don't talk enough about it, never will, because the simple fact is they don't know enough about the game. Fans know that, and can only shake their heads when hearing some of the stuff that comes out of the talk radio guys. A perfect example just happened on WXYT. Art Regner was asked what is going on with Steve Yzerman. Art's response, " I haven't talked to him in a couple of weeks, I don't know what his plans are". Thanks for that update Art. update 4:16pm, Peter Karmanos called in and stated the league is going to make record revenue, in part due to the value of the Canadian dollar lately. He said OLN is going above and beyond what the league expected. It was not like they had a choice, ESPN did not want the NHL. Plus ESPN only promotes what ESPN wants to promote. NBC has promises the NHL will be at the top of the sporting world on their station, so they are very happy with the TV relationship. He was asked about winning the SC by default due to the injury to Roloson. He said that a team never wins like that, you have to make sure you have good backup players. He pointed out Cole is out but you don't hear them complaining about that. He mentioned he would be a very proud person if the Canes were able to hold the cup. They started out on the bottom, so it would be very rewarding. Karmanos did state it has been a quite year for Detroit hockey this year, due to the Pistons success. He sees hockey taking over again next year, with the cap going up, Wings will get back into the swing of things. He also mentioned the NHL will continue to tweak the rules. Talked about the puck over the glass rule, then he brought up the fact that the Canes were called for a "new rule" hooking penalty two minutes after the call on Buffalo, but Karmanos said Buffalo "declined" to score on that power play. Talked about Goodenow, said he was hellbent on destroying the league. The NHL had to step up to do something to change what was going on. He claims the NHL offered the same deal they signed to Goodenow four years ago and he refused to look at it. Goodenow kept on claiming the teams were hiding money. Well, Karmanos speaks his mind today, nothing held back!!!

Oiler Ride Turning Into A Pumpkin
by Paul on 06/06/06 at 04:55 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Opinion 250,
Prior to the series I stated on the radio that Carolina will win this series in 6 games. One game certainly does not secure my prediction, but the early indication is that midnight is approaching on Edmonton's Cinderella Story. If the Hurricanes move on to win the championship, the so-called Oiler fans will go back in the closet. However, if Edmonton rallies, completes the unthinkable, and defies all odds to capture the Stanley Cup, then Santa Claus is actually alive and well in the month of June. Regardless of the final outcome, the "true" Oiler fans will continue to enjoy the ride. After all, while this Edmonton team is good, they may not be good enough to even make next year's playoffs.more

Each year during the first week in October something special happens in the skies above Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'm not referring to the glowing fall aspens or the fiery sunsets over the Sangre de Christo Mountains, but a sea of giant orbs floating gently over the landscape the likes of which you'll see nowhere else on earth. It's the International Balloon Fiesta where over 600 aviators from 20 countries around the world bring their brightly colored and uniquely shaped envelopes to sample what is known as the Albuquerque Box – a unique set of wind currents that will carry a balloon in any direction depending on its elevation.
For spectators and photographers in particular, watching a mass ascension at dawn is breathtaking. Silent except for the murmur of the crowd and the occasional jet burst from the burners, the balloons slowly fill and lift into the morning sky gently "kissing" each other as they jostle for air space. This is one location where you can leave the tripod behind as the sheer volume of people and balloons covering the enormous grounds and the constant activity makes it a hazard. In years past shooting film was a challenge, but today's digital cameras with low-noise sensors are perfect for the constantly changing light as the sun rises.
In addition to mass ascensions that usually occur on the weekends, the balloon glow is another spectacular event held in the evenings. The balloons are tethered to the ground and kept inflated with their burners, which cause the envelopes to glow like the famed luminarias of the region. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is the largest gathering of hot air balloons in the world and is something everyone should experience at least once.

Graduate Intelligence, Security Studies, and Analysis Course Descriptions
6191, 6291, 6391 Research. Individual research problems for superior students in intelligence, security studies, and analysis. May be repeated for a total of six semester hours credit.
Prerequisite: Approval from the Chair of the Department is required prior to enrollment.
6300 Intelligences and National Security (3-0). The intelligence reform mandated following the attacks on 9/11 created the most fundamental structural change in the National Intelligence Community in its history. The National Intelligence Strategy (NIS), as updated, will provide the framework of analysis for this course. The integration of the National Intelligence Community, and the complexities this integration brings, will be analyzed. This course covers the intelligence cycle (Planning and direction, collection, processing, analysis, and dissemination). It also covers key aspects of intelligence such as warning and surprise; denial and deception; covert action; oversight and civil liberties; role of policymakers; and intelligence reform. Students will evaluate how changes in the national intelligence community are meeting the objectives of the war on terrorism and contributing to more effective intelligence.
Credit may not be earned for this course and SEC 6313.
6301 Grand Strategy, Intelligence Analysis, and Rationality (3-0). This course employs a Clausewitzian approach to explore the interactions between intelligence analysis, context, culture, and rationality (the ways in which different individuals and groups think), and the ways in which understanding those interactions can help intelligence professionals determine and counter an enemy's grand strategy. While the focus is on the grand-strategic level, students will also see how these interrelationships influence intelligence analysis and its effectiveness at the military-strategic, operational, and tactical levels.
6302 The Transformational Imperative: Reorganizing in a Multi-polar World (3-0). This course examines American intelligence and national security policies and planning from World War II to the present. Students examine how ideas and interests shape and transform national security decision making from the white house to the war fighter and how the complexities of a multi-polar world have affected the traditional policy formulation process. The course will address theory, practice, and processes as they relate to the most important national security topics of the day. Students will debate and explore how ideas and interests work together or in opposition to shape national security policies and priorities. Students will learn how the "war of ideas" has evolved from the Cold War to the global war on terrorism; the influence of the media, social media, and think tanks on intelligence; and how the definition of intelligence and national security has changed.
6303 Advanced Intelligence Analysis: Operating in Complex Environments (3-0). This course is about critical thinking and will examine successes and failures in intelligence, and organizational and operations practices of U.S. and foreign intelligence, using a case-study approach. The course will examine flawed approaches to intelligence analysis and how we might draw from these cases to improve the Intelligence Community. The objective of the course is to apply these "lessons learned" to the challenges facing the U.S. Intelligence Community today. Case studies include Pearl Harbor, 9/11, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Yom Kippur War, proliferation issues, and Cold War Counterintelligence.
6304 The Practice of U.S. Intelligence and National Security (3-0). This course explores the organization and functions of the U.S. Intelligence Community, the nexus between national security and intelligence policy makers, key issues about its workings, challenges it faces in defining its future role, and the debates regarding intelligence reform. It will also look at some of the key intelligence missions, such as strategic warning, counterterrorism, counter proliferation, and counterinsurgency. The events of 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq have focused new attention on national intelligence and driven the most significant reorganization of the community since the National Security Act of 1947. The course will highlight some of the major debates about the role, practices, and problems of national intelligence.
6305 Research Methods in Security Studies (3-0). Research methods with application to intelligence, homeland security, criminal justice, and other security-related interests.
Credit may not be earned for this course and SEC 6305, BOR 6334, or CRIJ 6334.
6306 Applied Statistics (3-0). Statistical methods with application to intelligence, homeland security, criminal justice, and other security-related interests. This course formalizes key data that can be numerically represented in a way that permits useful analysis and application of the results.
Credit may not be earned for this course and BOR 6307 or CRIJ 6307.
6309 Intelligence Support to Policy Making: The Impact of 9/11 (3-0). This course examines the principal roles of intelligence in a post 9/11 environment and in national policy formulation, in the provision of strategic and tactical warning, in providing support for military operations, and in covert action. The focus is on problems inherent in conducting intelligence in a democracy and on the ethical considerations associated with providing high quality intelligence analysis. The course examines national security policy formulation, the factors that influence and constrain policy choices, and the role of intelligence in this process. The changing nature of intelligence vis-a-vis policy formulation, with illustrations from the global war on terror and the Iraq war, serve as examples of the relationship between intelligence and policy. Students will analyze and evaluate the future political, cultural, and institutional challenges facing the National Intelligence Community as it supports national security policy.
6310 Military Intelligence: Strategic, Operational, and Tactical (3-0). If war is in fact the extension of politics by other means, this course aims to understand how and why states use force in pursuit of their national interests. Class studies classical theories of warfare, including Clausewitz and Sun Tzu. Case studies in warfare from 19th and 20th centuries develop a model of how states have traditionally used war and supporting intelligence to accomplish policy aims at strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Technological and political shifts of the last decade are explored to determine what they imply about how sates can and will use force in the future as part of their national security policies. Course reviews how intelligence supports each level of warfare and how intelligence failures affect strategic outcomes.
6311 Special Operations and Intelligence: Creating Strategic Effects (3-0). Over the last ten years, special operations forces have become a core element in America's response to trans-national terrorism. These units have trained and advised foreign military and paramilitary forces; captured or killed thousands of Al Qaeda and Taliban commanders and foot soldiers; and conducted a variety of operations around the globe. This course will focus on the ways in which special operations forces have been incorporated into national security strategy and policy. Through the use of a series of case studies, students will investigate the differences between special operations forces and other elite units; scrutinize the roles and missions of these organizations; understand their unique intelligence support requirements at tactical, operational, and strategic levels; consider the influence of popular culture; and probe the impact of bureaucratic politics and organizational culture between the special operations community and international allies, Congress, the interagency community, and conventional military forces.
6312 Cyber Arms Race and the Intelligence Policy Nexus (3-0). When is a cyber attack an act of war? What is the role of the U.S. military in defending the United States from cyber attacks? Who forms cyber policy for the U.S.? Is cyber an intelligence problem? How does cyber fit the traditional national security-intelligence policy construct? Cyber conflict is a new and complicated strategic problem that will engage not only the United States but the international community at many different levels. The cyber environment challenges traditional strategic thinking, and work on national security and intelligence policies and strategies to manage and benefit from cyber conflict is at an early stage. Traditional security concepts need to be re-xamined and adjusted for the cyber environment. This course will look at various dimensions of cyber conflict in the larger international security context.
6313 Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism (3-0). This course explores a wide range of questions in order to provide students with a deeper understanding of the origins and evolution of modern terrorism, and the intelligence challenges posed by terrorist groups to states with an emphasis on the United States. The course is divided into three parts. Part 1 examines the nature, objectives, strategies, and organization of terrorism and terrorist groups. It also addresses the political, psychological, socioeconomic, and religious causes of terrorist violence. Part 2 consists of student presentations on active terrorist organizations. Part 3 focuses on counterterrorism and the challenges of collecting intelligence against terrorist organizations. Based on recent American experience in combating terrorism, the course will introduce students to the strengths and weaknesses of counterterrorist tools, domestic and international intelligence requirements and collection strategies, and the need to balance civil liberties and security.
6380 Capstone in Intelligence, Security Studies, and Analysis (3-0). This course is designed for students in the non-thesis option. Students will take this course in their last semester. The course brings elements of previous courses together in order for students to think critically across the broad spectrum of intelligence, security studies, and analysis.
6381 Special Topics (3-0). A course in selected intelligence topics. May be repeated once for credit when topics vary.
6399 Thesis. A total of six hours is required for thesis. The student may repeat this course to obtain the necessary six hours credit. Students have the option of enrolling is ISSA 6699 for one semester or ISSA 6399 for two separate semester/terms in order to fulfill the six-hour thesis requirement.
