Track Office Phone: 605-394-2603 Email: email@example.com Assistants: Steve Johnson; Kent Jacobs, Jim Stephens Coaching Staff South Dakota School of Mines Track and Field Jerald Schafer - Head Coach Coach Schafer begins his 27th year at the helm of the Hardrocker cross country and track & field programs after serving eight years as an assistant coach at the high school and collegiate levels. An Adams State College (CO) graduate, coach Schafer brings the knowledge, experience and tradition for excellence from that nationally known program to the SDSM&T campus. The belief that hard work and dedication can overcome any challenge is what motivates the athletes on the Hardrocker cross country and track & field teams to strive for excellence in everything they do, and the Black Hills and SDSM&T provide the perfect environment for student-athletes to develop to their fullest potential. South Dakota School of Mines Track and Field Steve Johnson - Distance, Jumps, Javelin Johnson brings a wealth of experience to the Hardrocker Track program. He most recently was an assistant coach at the University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D. He's also had stints in Lakewood, Wash., at Pierce College; in Tacoma, Wash., at University of Puget Sound; in University Place Wash., at Speed Tech; and in Pullman, Wash., at the Comets Track Club. "Steve has an expertise in distance running," Schafer said. "But he will also be working with our jumpers and javelin throwers. He has a lot of versatility in those events and it will be an as set for him to help coach. That was one of the driving forces in hiring him over other candidates." Being a full-time assistant, Johnson will also have an instrumental role in the recruiting of both cross country and track athletes. Recruiting was one of Johnson's main duties at the University of Mary and should benefit the Hardrocker program by having him take a strong stance for SD Mines. "Bigger is the goal. We want to boost the programs --especially on the women's side," Johnson said. "Recruiting will help us to regain some of that competitiveness (in the conference) on both sides in track and field and cross country." Johnson comes to Rapid City with his wife Simonne and sons Josh and Zach South Dakota School of Mines Track and Field Kent Jacobs - Sprints Kent returns to the Hardrocker track & field program where he had a successful collegiate career. Kent is a former 400m School record holder (:48.89) which still ranks as third best all-time for the Hardrockers. He still holds the 4x100m relay record (42.33) with teammates Dain Patterson, Justin Wipf, and Matt Zolnowsky. Kent has assisted with the sprinters since his return to Rapid City in 2008, after many years working as a Mechanical Engineer in Cedar Rapids, IA. He is currently employed by Strider Bicycles of Rapid City. Jim Stephens – Throws This is Jim's second year as the throws coach for the SD Mines men's and women's track and field teams and a difference can already be seen. Working everyday with the Hardrocker student-athletes, he has been able to teach and observe the proper techniques and has already made a difference as a majority of the throwers continually improve their personal-best marks throughout the season.

The Hardrockers enter the season with increased numbers as this year's teams will roster 32 men and 18 women. Hardrocker head coach Jerry Schafer enters his 30th year of service to South Dakota School of Mines Athletic Dept. Schafer started his stint at SD Mines as an assistant coach but took the reins and soon developed a successful track and field legacy. Schafer has worked very diligently to produce 72 national competitors, 21 national placers and 17 All-American honors since 1986. Schafer has surrounded himself with a loyal coaching staff he trusts to grow and develop each studentathlete's strengths in various events and it is a priority of the Hardrocker coaching staff to monitor the academic progress of SD Mines' student-athletes. "Athletics and academics at SD Mines epitomize what college athletics was meant to be," Schafer said. "We combine the best of both worlds to better prepare student-athletes for the future." This season will mark the last year of transition from NAIA to NCAA Div. II athletics for the Hardrockers and the last year the team will not be able to qualify for Nationals. "We are always monitoring our progress based on the national level, however, this season is going to be especially important to see how close we compare at the (Div. II) national level as we finalize our transition," Schafer said. The Hardrockers have a solid group of upperclassmen returning on both the men's and women's teams and look to be competitive with a schedule that has them going up against some solid and established college track programs. Alexis Godeke (a Geology and Paleontology major from Antwerp, Ohio), returning to compete in the distance events, will represent the women's side as the only senior. Other standouts for Lady Hardrockers' include: Anna Haneline (a junior Geology major from Plattesmouth, Neb.) and Lillian Temple (a junior engineering major from Glendive, Mont.). They are individuals to keep an eye on and two individuals the Hardrocker coaching staff feel have real potential. At the BHSU Early Bird Invite this past December, Haneline ran the 400-meter in 59.60 seconds, which is less than one second shy of a qualifying national time. Temple is also a potential qualifier in the high jump, triple jump and multi-events. At the Early Bird Invite, Temple set a new school record in the women's indoor pentathlon. She tallied a total of 3,042 points to establish the new mark. "Our strengths on the women's side are our solid core of individuals in sprints, throw events and in the distance events," Schafer said. As for the men, Thomas Everett (a Civil/ Environmental Engineering major from Missoula, Mont.) will return to run in the distance events, while also representing the team as the lone senior. Athletes on the men's side to watch for this season are: Brian Freed (a junior Civil Engineering major from Staunton, Va.), Sam Hill (a sophomore Chemical Engineering major from Yankton, S.D.) and Tyler Nack (a junior engineering major from Sioux Falls, S.D.). Freed will compete in the throws events including the weight throw and shot put. At the BHSU meet in December Freed posted distances of 54-feet-11.5-inches in the weight throw and 46-8.25 in the shot. Hill, who represent the Hardrockers in the pole vault and will be competing unattached this year, cleared 14-5.25 and placed high in the event at the Early Bird Meet. Nack, a strong presence in the distance events, will compete in the mile and 3K events. Nack ran a 4:34.44 mile at the BHSU Early Bird Invite, while also posting a solid 3k time of 9:16.87. "We are looking for big things from these three athletes. I expect them to lead their respective event groups," Schafer said. "Our strength on the men's side is our depth in the distance events, individuals in each of the field events and our group of young sprinters." Both the Hardrocker men and women have good numbers this season with the addition of new talent to the program. The men have added depth with 14 freshmen while the women have strengthened their squad adding four freshmen. "I am excited to see who will emerge as our next top Hardrocker athlete," Schafer added. "We have a lot of new young talent to complement our solid group of returning athletes. "My goals for this season are to prepare and develop our athletes towards the national level. As a coaching staff we will gauge our training through the season to see how to improve. We will keep pushing and prodding towards being competitive on the National level." The indoor schedule has SD Mines featured four meets in a semi-local setting (three at BHSU and one at Chadron State) and two others taking them to Iowa (Dordt Invitational and Iowa State Last Chance Meet). The Hardrockers were able to break a number of long standing records last season and the coaching staff has the 2013 version primed for another run at the record board. "We will achieve our goal by following our training curriculum of periodization for each event group," Schafer added. "Our staff has attended professional development conventions to see if we are on par with the most up-to-date training methods and we have learned that our system for athlete development compares to the methods being taught." Schafer is anxious for the season to get underway as he prepares his athletes to compete at the Div. II level.

Even early detractors of Petco Park agree that it has largely fulfilled its job of renewing the area
Among the stylish high-rise condos and trendy eateries, the luxury hotels and tony office tower that populate East Village, there's little evidence of the gritty urban outpost that once defined downtown's most blighted neighborhood.
Vagrants and panhandlers remain, as do scattered vacant lots and unleased storefronts, and boutique retailers haven't blossomed as hoped. But a decade after Petco Park opened on the eastern fringe of downtown, much of the area's promised renewal has largely been fulfilled.
"It's more than a ballpark" was the rallying cry of the ballfield's early backers, who assured voters in 1998 that if they approved the nearly half-billion-dollar deal, it would transform an unappealing warehouse district into a bustling neighborhood where thousands would eat, play and sleep.
Some 13,700 people now call East Village home, and more than $2 billion in mostly private development has taken shape in the 26-block ballpark district where the Padres pledged to deliver $311 million worth of new investment in hotels, retail and office. In exchange, a public subsidy of $300 million was guaranteed for ballpark construction as part of a redevelopment pact that at the time was considered precedent-setting in the world of professional sports stadiums.
Boosters: Debt worth it
The city's debt — $11.3 million a year, plus roughly $5 million more a year for operation of Petco Park — remains a continuing obligation, but boosters say the tangible dividend, beyond increased tax revenues, is a much more vibrant downtown that likely would have taken far longer to materialize.
"People have to judge for themselves as to whether the outcome was worth it," said professor Mark Rosentraub, co-director of the Michigan Center for Sports Management and an early critic of using public money to finance professional sports stadiums. "We have to conclude, though, that the (Padres') commitment was not only honored but exceeded at an extraordinary level that has never been seen in any other sports deal."
He recently analyzed the 2012 property tax data for the Padres ballpark district and estimated the value of the real estate at nearly $2.9 billion. Critics, however, maintain that the driver of that urban renewal came at a cost, draining the city treasury of more money than it reaps each year in hotel, property and sales taxes.
"It's less of a loss leader than it once was now that the property taxes go back to the city since the end of redevelopment," said UC San Diego political science professor Steve Erie. "But there's still the question of the kind of low-wage jobs it created, and we still have a challenged budget, so any drain on the treasury is a concern."
Taking a chance
The idea of a baseball-only stadium in San Diego first germinated not long after Qualcomm Stadium grew in 1997 to 71,000 seats, a sharp contrast to the intimate, retro-style ballparks springing up in other Major League Baseball cities. But where to put one in San Diego and how to pay for it? The notion of wedging a 42,500-seat ballpark in the middle of an area home to produce markets, automotive shops, flophouses and artists lofts seemed bold and financially risky. A task force was formed to scour possible sites, leading to the selection of about 10 city blocks just east of the Gaslamp Quarter. A well-timed election that followed by just months a rare Padres' World Series appearance sealed the deal, but then the real challenges ensued as longtime property owners, residents and businesses large and small were relocated.

'Bombshell' McGee Tells Sandra Bullock: 'I'm Sorry'
McGee says that she wants to give Bullock "a heartfelt apology," but that James is really the one to blame in this situation.
McGee became a household name -- and face -- when in the week following Bullock's Best Actress Oscar win, she revealed in In Touch Weekly that she and James had engaged in a sexual affair. In the weeks following, several other women have also claimed to have had affairs with James.
"I feel like I was duped just as much as Sandra was ... I feel like I was lied to just as much as she was. If Jesse was upfront with me in the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation," McGee told the Australian reporter.
So how does McGee think Bullock feels at this point? "She must be hurt, devastated, upset, embarrassed," McGee said in the interview. McGee said it was "very bizarre" seeing James and Bullock on television together at the Oscars. She also reflects on a different acceptance speech in which Bullock thanked James for having her back.
"When she said this man really has my back, I'm like, 'No ... he's doing it behind your back.' It's just kind of gross," McGee said.
McGee said she was shocked by the anger that has been directed at her since the affairs became public.
"I've been getting very harsh reactions, name-calling -- 'I'm a homewrecker, a slut, a w***e,' and I'm very surprised by that, that more people aren't taking my side," she said. "I don't want any pity ... but Jesse is the bad guy here. I got duped as much as Sandra did."
Since the affair became public, James has entered a treatment facility and has not made any public comments aside from a vague apology issued through his publicist.
The tattooed McGee also went on 'Inside Edition' to tell her tale. She even responded to Tina Fey's recent comments on 'SNL' mocking her alleged ties to neo-Nazis (she reportedly has a swastika tattoo).
"That's very hurtful. Very hurtful for her to even bring up Hitler and whose side he'd be on," McGee said of Fey's jokes.

Go back under your rock, McGee. Duped as much as she was?
Why, did he tell you he was single?
No, but he did tell her he was not with Sandra at the time, so who's the slimeball? I have no sympathy for Sandra. As Judge Judy would say "You picked him!"
If you want her to go back under her rock, then Jesse James can go with her. It takes two to tango, honey.

I don't know why they always give these mistresses the spotlight-as if they were the victims. Both Jesse and McGee knew he was married, whether he "claimed" to be with Sandra or not. I'm sure McGee saw him in the media w/his wife! Jesse was the one who was married, so regardless of how we see McGee, she couldn't do anything unless Jesse allowed her to. Jesse vowed to "forsake all others" and apparently was incapable of keeping his vow.

All her apologies are crap. Shw knew the man was married. Once again fellas, don't trust hoes. And once again ladies, it takes two. Time to start given equal judgement to the women who sleep with marrie men as much as vice versa. Adultery is a two party sin.

Why does she think she was duped by James, she knew he was married, Sandra should never except what she is saying, this is a personal matter between her and Jesse and if the public would back off maybe they could figure out to do with their future. Just because they are celebritites does not mean their marriage was perfect, LET THEM WORK IT OUT.

No Arnold, God created monogamy - read your bible. Keep up those morals and you will never see much. Hope you wife [if you have one] and your daughters all follow your example and screw anything and in all colors in sight. Have a nice day.

Arnold, most of us have evolved in 2010. We are not cave people anymore. That's just an excuse men use to cheat, its only nature. If you want to spread your seed all around, don't get married or have kids and please wear a condom, who knows what diseases you have. Beavers, otters, jackals, foxes, some bats and a few dwarf deer and antelopes are just a few of the animals that are monogamous.
Arnold, for the sake of humanity and any hope of intelligent life in the future, I do hope you are not "spreading your genes". It is not wise for you to be "spreading genes" which are rampant with moronic idiocy.
- Tuesday 13 AprilBy murphykoz
Arnold, I am sort of in agreement with you.

Arnold, Arnold, Arnold....obviously you know very little about anything. And you sure like to make your interpretation seem like fact.
First of all the Bible did NOT encourage promiscuity (look it up if you don't know what it means - but from the way you speak I'm guessing you are VERY familiar). Second of all, even in the animal kingdom there are many species who mate for life (guess you don't read or watch Discovery Channel much eh?)
Don't blame the Human Race for your loose values and morals. Just because YOU choose not to practice monogamy doesn't mean others do. And the statement about women not having sex with their husbands is as ignorant as you are. Bitter much? Maybe your wife doesn't have sex with you because you are a neanderthal pig! (Look that big word up too if you don't understand it!)
While we are at it, let's go back to school for a bit. Men had several WIVES not wifes. And don't get me started on your spelling!

Time-keeping apparatus includes a microcomputer having a normal, relatively high power consumption mode of operation and a standby relatively low power consumption mode of operation. The AC power supply includes energy storage providing standby power for operation during power interruption. A controllable delay arrangement causes the microcomputer to operate in a cyclical mode with a relatively long duration in the standby mode of operation and a relatively short duration in the normal mode of operation. The time period of the relatively long duration, having been previously stored in memory, is utilized for incrementing the time-keeping during the relatively short duration in the normal mode until the end of the power interruption ends the cylical mode of operation.
1. Apparatus for keeping the time of day, comprising:
an input for receiving an AC power line voltage subject to interruption;
processor means, including a source of clock signals, and a memory for storing a program of operating instructions;
said processor means operating in a normal mode while said AC power line voltage is present to keep the time of day by counting cycles of said AC power line voltage; and
an R-C network input for producing a varying voltage when triggered;
said processor means operating to determine the duration of said interruption of said AC power line voltage so that the time of day can be updated by repetitively triggering said R-C network to produce repetitive cycles of said varying voltage during said power interruption, said cycles each consisting essentially of a voltage ramp from a first predetermined voltage level to a second predetermined voltage level and having the same substantially constant duration; and calculating the time duration of said power interruption by measuring said substantially constant duration of said cycles and multiplying said substantially constant duration of said cycles by the number of cycles occurring during said power interruption.
2. The time-keeping apparatus recited in claim 1 wherein:
said processor means switches to a standby mode of operation in which less power is consumed during said power interruption and snitches momentarily to said normal mode of operation to trigger said R-C network in response to each development of said second voltage level.
3. The time-keeping apparatus recited in claim 2 wherein said processor means counts cycles of said varying voltage occurring during said power interruption and calculates the duration of said power interruption when said AC power line voltage returns after said power interruption.
4. The time-keeping apparatus recited in claim 2 wherein said multiplication is effected by repeated addition of said substantially constant duration of each of said cycles, each of said additions occurring when said processor enters said normal mode during said power interruption.
5. The time-keeping apparatus recited in claim 1 further including means for resetting said R-C network, said means for resetting being coupled to said processor and responsive to an output signal of said processor for resetting said R-C network to said first predetermined voltage level.
6. The time-keeping apparatus recited in claim 1 wherein said processor means further includes a data memory not subject to loss of information during said power interruption, said substantially constant duration of change of said voltage from said first predetermined voltage level to said second predetermined voltage level is measured by counting cycles of said AC power line voltage before said power interruption occurs, and said duration is stored in said data memory.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 824,674, filed Jan. 31, 1986, now abaonded.
The present invention relates to the field of time-keeping apparatus, particularly such apparatus as includes provision for keeping time during a period of interruption of a primary supply of operating power.
Electronic clocks commonly use the alternating current (AC) power line mains for an accurate time base as well as for their supply of operating power. Such clocks may typically be incorporated in electronic equipment such as video cassette recorders (VCR's), as timers for controlling timed operation and as timepieces for providing a display of the time of day.
Generally, it is desirable to maintain time-keeping during an AC power failure, particularly in a timer controlling the operation of other apparatus. Standby power typically may be provided by a battery or, preferably, a large capacitor. Although in practical terms, a battery can generally provide a greater energy supply than a capacitor of comparable size and cost, batteries are not desirable, particularly in domestic AC line powered apparatus, since periodic replacement may be needed. This is a nuisance and requires access to internal circuit connections which is not desirable from a user safety aspect.
Many timers and clocks, particularly such as are incorporated in modern electronic equipment such as VCR's, employ a microcomputer. During standby periods, the clock oscillator associated with the microcomputer can be used as a reference source for time-keeping. A disadvantage of such a system is that, in order to keep time when AC power has failed, the microcomputer has to run continuously, thus consuming relatively high operating power. As a result, a relatively large standby energy storage capability is needed, so that time-keeping can only be maintained for a relatively short period of time. Furthermore, accurate frequency control is also required in the absence of AC power, and is typically obtained by using a crystal.
In accordance with an aspect of the invention, apparatus for time-keeping while operating on a standby power supply during an interruption in a main power supply for a clock arrangement uses a microcomputer for generating and storing time information. The microcomputer has selectable normal and standby modes of operation respectively associated with relatively high and relatively low supply power consumption. Sensing circuitry is included for sensing the interruption when the microcomputer is in the normal mode. Controllable delay circuitry is coupled to the sensing circuitry for providing a delay period in response to the sensing circuitry sensing the interruption. Mode selection circuitry is coupled to the microcomputer and to the controllable delay circuitry for performing a cycle of operation by selecting the standby mode in response to the sensing circuitry sensing the interruption and selecting the normal mode in response to the delay period ending, so as to perform the cycle of operation repetitively so long as the sensing means senses the interruption.
In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, the number of times the cycle is performed and the duration of the delay period are stored in the microcomputer.
In accordance with a still further aspect of the invention, the microcomputer augments the time information being stored by the multiplication product of the number count and the delay period. The microcomputer computes the multiplication product in the normal mode selected in response to the delay period ending in the last performance of the cycle in the interruption.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the microcomputer augments the time information being stored by the delay period at each performance of the cycle.
FIG. 1 shows partly in block diagram form and partly in circuit schematic form a time-keeping apparatus for keeping time during a power failure, in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 2 shows a flow chart indicating certain operations useful in facilitating an understanding of the operation of the invention.
In the time-keeping apparatus of FIG. 1, a supply of DC operating voltage Vcc is derived from the AC power line, represented by block 10. One pole of the supply line is coupled to a ground 12 while the other supply pole is coupled to the apparatus by way of a switch 14, representing an on/off switch. Switch 14 also represents that the AC supply is liable to interruption, as when a power failure occurs. The AC supplied by way of switch 14 when it is closed is rectified by a diode 16 and is applied to a filter and storage capacitor 18. A current limiting resistor 20 supplies DC current from capacitor 18 to a limiting avalanche or Zener diode 22 which stabilizes the operating voltage Vcc at a supply conductor 24 at a suitable value relative to ground. A capacitor 25 coupled in shunt with diode 22 further reduces ripple and provides further energy storage and a low impedance AC shunt path to ground.
A microcomputer 26 which includes a memory is coupled to receive a supply of operating voltage between supply conductor 24 and ground by way of terminals 28 and 30, respectively. A microcomputer considered suitable is the Type HMCS 404, by the Hitachi Company of Japan. An LC tuned circuit 31 is coupled to a clock oscillator in microcomputer 26 for generating a clock signal for clocking of programmed computer operations. The frequency controlled by LC circuit 31 is subject to relatively wide tolerance variations and is therefore unsuitable as a time base for accurate time-keeping. Microcomputer 26 also receives a timing signal by way of a sensing terminal 32. The timing signal is derived from the AC power line voltage supplied by way of switch 14 through a current limiting resistor 34 which is coupled between switch 14 and the joined cathodes of two diodes, 36 and 38. The anode of diode 36 is coupled to ground. The anode of diode 38 is coupled to terminal 32 and also to supply conductor 24 by way of a resistor 40. Diode 36 limits to one forward diode drop the negative voltage excursions at its cathode with respect to ground and thereby clamps negative voltage excursions at terminal 32 at ground potential because of the compensating forward drop of diode 38 which is forward biased by Vcc through resistor 40. During positive voltage excursions of the AC power line voltage, diode 36 is reverse biased and diode 38 becomes reverse biased when the line voltage exceeds Vcc. Accordingly, the timing signal at terminal 32 will be approximately a square wave switching between Vcc and ground potential at the line frequency rate, for example, 60 Hz in the United State. This timing signal provides an accurate time-base and is also utilized by microcomputer 26 to sense when a power interruption has occurred.
Microcomputer 26 has a NORMAL operating mode in which it provides normal computing and memory storage functions. In a STANDBY mode, the contents of the memory are retained but the clock oscillator is stopped and substantially all other functions are disabled, except for the capability of reverting to the NORMAL mode on command. There is also a RESET mode which resembles the STANDBY mode except that the clock oscillator is operating. The RESET mode is employed briefly prior to entering the NORMAL mode.
The STANDBY mode is entered from the NORMAL mode under program control. Returning to the NORMAL mode is achieved by first selecting the RESET mode by applying a positive logic signal to microcomputer 26 by way of a RESET terminal 42 which is normally kept at ground potential. Returning the signal at RESET terminal 42 to ground potential then causes the NORMAL mode to be selected.
RESET terminal 42 is coupled to circuitry, which in conjunction with microcomputer 26 determines mode selection, as will be explained. The output of a one-shot circuit 43, which is triggered when its trigger input voltage exceeds a predetermined trigger level, is coupled to RESET terminal 42. When triggered, one-shot 43 provides a positive output pulse of very brief duration. The trigger input of one-shot 43 is coupled to supply conductor 24 by way of a resistor 44 and to ground by way of a capacitor 46. An n-channel field effect transistor 48 has its drain electrode coupled to the junction of resistor 44 and capacitor 46, and its source electrode coupled to ground. The gate electrode of transistor 48 is coupled to an output terminal 50 of microcomputer 26. A time display module 52 is coupled to microcomputer 26 by way of a multiple data bus, as indicated in FIG. 1 by the broad line, for providing a display of the time of day as determined by the microcomputer.
In operation, AC power is first applied to the FIG. 1 apparatus with no charge present on the capacitors prior to the circuit being energized. On closing switch 14, the clock signal is applied to terminal 32 and the operating voltage Vcc is quickly established at its proper level for microcomputer 26. Transistor 48 remains non-conductive and capacitor 46 is charged at a predetermined rate through resistor 44, causing the voltage at RESET terminal 42 to reach the level for triggering one-shot 43. Microcomputer 26 then briefly enters the RESET mode for the duration of the one-shot period and then enters the NORMAL mode of operation.
This sequence causes microcomputer 26 to operate in a CALIBRATE cycle (in the NORMAL mode), in which it applies a turn-on bias to the gate of transistor 48 by way of terminal 50, causing capacitor 46 to discharge rapidly and substantially completely through the low channel on-resistance.
Microcomputer 26 remains operational and biases transistor 48 off, thus, allowing the voltage at the trigger input of one-shot 43 to begin rising as capacitor 46 begins to recharge. At the same time, microcomputer 26 measures and stores the duration of the time interval required from the time transistor 48 was biased off for the voltage at the trigger input of one-shot 43 to reach the level required to trigger one-shot 43. Thereafter, microcomputer 26 enters the RESET mode for the duration of the one-shot period and then returns to the NORMAL mode for its normal operations, including time-keeping and providing a time display in module 52. The time of day information is derived by utilizing the timing signal at terminal 32. It is stored in memory and is continually updated as required.
When a power failure occurs, the clock signal at terminal 32 will stop immediately, whereas Vcc will be maintained for a time by the charge on capacitors 18 and 25, thus maintaining microcomputer 26 operational. When the clock signal stops, microcomputer 26 biases transistor 48 on, thereby starting to discharge rapidly capacitor 46 and causing the voltage at the trigger input of one-shot 43 to fall to ground level. Thereafter, microcomputer 26 enters the STANDBY mode under program control. As explained, this causes substantially all microcomputer functions to cease except for memory retention. Transistor 48 is no longer biased on and capacitor 46 begins to recharge causing the voltage at terminal 50 to reach the level for triggering one-shot 43 after a time interval, this being the same time interval whose duration was previously measured and stored in the CALIBRATE cycle as was described. When one-shot 43 is triggered, its output pulse causes microcomputer 26 to enter the RESET mode briefly and then to enter the NORMAL mode when the output pulse ends. Microcomputer 26 then retrieves the time interval duration information from memory and uses it to increment the stored time of day information. This involves augmenting the stored time of day information by the actual time interval duration and is accomplished in a very brief interval. Thereafter, microcomputer 26 biases transistor 48 on to discharge capacitor 46 and returns to its STANDBY under program control after the voltage on capacitor 46 falls to ground level. Transistor 48 is made nonconductive, capacitor 46 begins to recharge again and the cyclical mode of operation continues and maintains the correct time of day so long as the charge on capacitors 18 and 25 is sufficient, until AC power is restored.
The time required for switching operations is very short and may be neglected in comparison with the time interval during which capacitor 46 is being charged. It is noted that the controllable delay time provided by the time constant of resistor 44 and capacitor 46 does not have to be known exactly for maintaining exact time. The stored time interval duration information, however, is precise, being the result of the time measurement performed in the CALIBRATE cycle using the AC line frequency clock signal, as previously explained. In the cyclical mode of operation, microcomputer 26 remains in the STANDBY mode of operation for most of the time, the periods of NORMAL operation being very brief in comparison. Typically, the power consumption may be ten times greater in the NORMAL mode than in the STANDBY mode, e.g. 100 microamperes and 10 microamperes, respectively. Accordingly, considerable economy in the STANDBY power requirements is achieved by the cyclical mode of operation which requires only recurrent brief intervals of operation in the NORMAL mode.
A part of this sequence of operation is shown in the simplified flow chart in FIG. 2. When power is first applied at START, the delay period time is measured and stored in the microcomputer. When power is interrupted, the delay time starts to run and the microcomputer STANDBY mode is selected. When the delay period is completed, the microcomputer NORMAL mode is selected and the stored time information is updated by adding to it the stored value of the delay period time. The cycle is repeated until the power interruption is over, whereupon the operation returns to the START condition.
The implementation of the invention in accordance with FIGS. 1 and 2 is illustrative. Various modifications will readily suggest themselves to one skilled in the art for implementing the invention in accordance with the present description. For example, in the described embodiment, the time interval for discharging capacitor 46 by means of transistor 48 has been assumed to be negligibly short. In a different arrangement, this assumption may not be justifiable and it is then desirable to measure and store the total time interval duration required for charging and discharging capacitor 46 in a CALIBRATE cycle. The total time duration is then used to increment the time of day. Also, it is not essential that a CALIBRATE cycle be employed each time power is restored, since the time constant of resistor 44 and capacitor 46 is not likely to change much over a considerable period of time. In such a case, it is possible to make the measurement once initially, for example using factory equipment, and to store the reading for use in operation. Furthermore, while the time of day is incremented at every cycle in the described embodiment, this is not essential. In an alternative embodiment, only the number of cycles is counted and the computation of total elapsed time as the product of the number of cycles and the stored time interval is performed only when AC power is restored. It is also clear that a battery may be employed instead of capacitor energy storage as shown in the exemplary embodiment. It is also noted that the need for using one-shot 43 arises with the particular type of microcomputer utilized in the described embodiment. Another type of microcomputer having different mode selection signal requirements may not require a one-shot. Such modifications are contemplated to be within the scope of the present invention.

Planning application submitted to East Staffordshire Borough Council for ecotourism camping cabin
Posted: August 09, 2014|
A PLANNING application has been submitted to East Staffordshire Borough Council to build a small ecotourism camping cabin in Stanton.
The cabin would be built in Rivington Bank Field behind Hills Lane.
The site is a 2.6 acre field and contains an existing wooden field shelter and stables. The proposed location of the cabin would be unobtrusive and would not be able to be seen from the roadway, or any residential properties.
It is proposed that the camping cabin will be a single-storey at a maximum of 3.351m high and will be made of dark oak wood, placed on a concrete pad.
A small solar panel would be placed on the roof to provide solar power to the lighting system which will make the cabin environmentally friendly.
A small chimney on the roof also would also allows wood from the shelter belt woodland to be burnt to provide heat in the winter.
Once built, the cabin would provide shelter to a niche market of ecotourism campers.
It has been designed to have no impact on the character of the Derbyshire countryside in which it will sit.
A consultation on the plans began on Friday and is scheduled to run until August 29.

it is one thing to go free to play, its another to have a good money making revenue model.
you can be f2p but have no appealing way for people to spend money, then it'll kill you.
Update for Combat mechanics.
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
i have to say i love the dcuo combat... enemy shots do not auto hit, they can be dodged. you can block, roll etc... and the combat is real time.
you use the left and righ mouse buttons for combos, which is so simplistic, amazing how many combos you can do with two buttons held and pressed for different times, and kudos for programming the input. Then you have click abilities, the old 1-2-3-4.
Is this how tor is? I havent played it, the only thing I know about tor is that it was being made. I kinda figure the combat from dcuo would translate over well. For Jedi, taping the left and right mouse buttons would do different saber swings and then you have the force /push/run/lightening/sabre throw/standard force powers as the click abilities. The animations should be cool like batman arkhum city, fluid and nice :)

i thought vanguard was crap? its good now? subscriber base growing? what turned it around?
new stuff in sto
General Discussion « Star Trek Online
so lets some stuff in season 2. i think sto will be a good game by season 4.
the cool stuff:
quantum slip stream drive: travel fast in sector space
sector space redesigned: looks much cooler
Galaxy X starship (c-store) the one from all good things
ship interiors (pretty big) with sliding doors, so no more beaming or something.
3 new tier 5 refit ships
Galaxy class with saucer separation special ability
intrepid class ( voyager ) with ablative armour ( from episode end game)
defiant class w/ a cloak (seems defiant got the worst gift, who wants to cloak anyway?
diplomatic corps (sounds crappy)
5 new fed/klingon episodes + 8 new klingon episodes
fluidic space (looks really good)
take a look here for pictures of alot of this stuff
Darkfall, the fantasy version of eve online?
General Gaming « General Discussion
i probably would but my quota is full right now. i had 4 accounts in eve. i cancelled 2 and started up one for heroes online or whatever its called. which i dont expect ill play too long but its ok so far. im mainly wondering what does one do when you reach level 50? and dont say pvp because i cant imagine pvping in a world without consequences. might be a little fun for a short time.
but i wont try dark fall without a trial its my main peeve an dill leave it and let it get some polish on it first.
Darkfall, the fantasy version of eve online?
General Gaming « General Discussion
Ive always thought a fantasy version of eve online would be cool.
someone actually did it and took seven years to do it. Its too bad the company is very very small and lacks a bit of polish.
Hopefully the overheads are far less than the profits and even if the game wittles down to a couple thousand suscribers like eve online was at launch, hopefully the niche crowd it appeals to will keep it in worthwhile profit, for it to be further developed.
it has alot of potential and it has alot of features. Anyone who has played eve and has read about or tried darkfall knows what I mean.
there are some reasons I wont try this though.
Eve itself was rocky in the beginning with some really even more serious time sinks such as no warp to zero.
this seems rocky, in its launch and its current unbalanced gameplay which people say needs serious balancing
lack of a trial period.
gone are the days that i buy a game before i try the demo. not buying a game then to put it down, never to play it.
if anyone has played darkfall for an extensive period feel free to give my our impressions. Ive played eve for four years. Great thing about the sandbox is the end game is still really fun. Currently on a break from eve though.
Wow... have I ever found my MMO
Jita (General) « EVE Online
what do you want to do? pvp? pve?
its safe if you stay in empire forever.
but if you get a taste for pvp you never go back.
i remember i was in a corp as newbie, it was a normal mission running corp. and a new guy invited us to do some pvp, we ganged up he took us to a system that had pirates, we had frigates and so did they, and it was so much fun, so hectic, even tho nothing is on the iline when your flying frigates, (they aint expensive cap ships) it was fun.
eve is a game that if you like it, it has content to last you years before you reach end game. and end game itself can last a while.

currently looking for something to keep my occupied until black prophecy, jump gate and star trek online are released.
i currently been playing eve online for the past 3 years. ive got all the to the highest level of pve/ pvp. Alliance warfare, and even led a powerful corp in eve online. theres just nothing left to do.
while i prefer sci fi mmos, theres none coming out until those three i mentioned.
im not opposed to trying any MMO, as long as its worth the money. ive final fantasy and stuff, so im familiar with fantasy mmos.
i fear theres nothing out there for me, i been looking.
dont want anything too casual.
i tried to find a free trial for age of conan, sadly none are available. how sad is that? the reason i signed up for eve was because i tried it and liked it. im not buying a game then to realise i dont like it.
any help would be nice thanks.

After spending Christmas with the Middleton family in Berkshire, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were driven three hours to the Queen's Sandringham estate for Boxing Day on Wednesday.
While Prince William went out on Prince Philip's annual pheasant shoot with the rest of the royal party, Catherine opted to stay indoors with Queen Elizabeth, who is getting over a nasty cold.
The pregnant Duchess of Cambridge, though, joined everyone for a hearty lunch at Wood's Farm, where a meal of various cheeses, soups and hot toddies were served.
The Daily Mail reports that most of the Windsors were together for shooting day, except for the Duchess of Cornwall, who spent the day with her grandchildren at her Wiltshire home.
The royal couple will spend New Year's at Birkhall the Balmoral estate owned by the royal family.
Next month, it is expected that St. James's Palace will announce whether William will continue on as search-and-rescue pilot with the RAF, or take on royal duties full-time when his tour of duty ends next September.
The palace, it is believed, will also announce the Duchess of Cambridge's due date.
