1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to electric drives for piezoelectric actuators and more particularly to energy transfer between two piezoelectric elements for increasing the system efficiency of operation.
2. Description of the Related Art
Piezoelectric actuators and other high-capacitive devices require high voltage drive. Driving them linearly with a conventional amplifier requires a large reactive current and results in correspondingly high losses.
Improvements have been made such as in Skipper U.S. Pat. No. 4,628,275 to provide efficient power amplifiers for such devices. However the capacitive energy stored in the actuator which is recaptured and used to reduce the energy requirements of the actuator systems is subject to the same losses during recovery as during the charge portion of the cycle.
This invention uses the capacitive energy stored in an activated piezoelectric actuator which is to be deactivated to activate a piezoelectric actuator which has little or no capacitive energy stored in it.
The energy of one capacitive actuator is switched through an inductor to a second actuator. The timing of the switching and the rate of transfer of energy are tailored to the functional needs of the actuator. Energy is added to the system from a voltage source to make up for the losses in the system and for the work done by the actuators.
It is one object of the invention to increase the efficiency of a piezoelectric actuator system by transferring capacitive energy from one actuator to another directly rather than discharging an actuator and sending the energy back to a power source energy store.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the related art having a piezoelectric actuator which returns its capacitive energy to the energy source.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of one embodiment of the invention where the capacitive energy stored in one piezoelectric actuator is used to activate a second piezoelectric actuator.
FIG. 3 is a schematic of a second embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic of a portion of the invention in which a non linear inductor is used.
FIG. 5 is a graph of the voltage and current of the circuit of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a schematic of a portion of the invention in which a linear inductor is used.
FIG. 7 is a graph of the voltage and current of the circuit of FIG. 6.
Electrodeformable materials such as piezoelectric material provide conversion of electrical energy to mechanical work. This work appears as electrical loads that are mainly capacitive in nature with the work energy being a small resistive component to the driver circuit. Charge must be transferred to the capacitor to produce motion resulting in work if the motion drives a mechanical load. If there is no mechanical load the energy from the charge transfer is stored in the capacitor to be recovered later when the charge is removed and the motion is reversed. With no mechanical load the losses are limited to the circuit losses plus the internal losses of the piezoelectric element. The electrical equivalent is shown in the figures wherein piezoelectric actuators 5 and 6 have a capacitor indicating that piezoelectric devices act as capacitors, a series variable resistance representing the mechanical load and a resistor to show a minimum value of resistance representing internal losses.
Typically piezoelectric materials can transfer 2-13% of the electrical energy they receive to useful work. This results in a large ratio of drive energy compared to work energy, and therefore could result in a very low efficiency system if great care is not exercised in the energy transfer and recovery circuitry in the driver to recapture energy stored in the material as capacitive energy.
As in all high efficiency capacitor charging systems the circuit must have minimum resistive losses in the controlling switching elements and the inductor.
A typical LC charging system is shown in FIG. 1. Energy is transferred from the energy source 1 to the actuator 5 through inductor 4 by moving switch Sw1 to position 1. Current magnitude and the resulting charge rate is controlled by alternating Sw1 from position 1 to 3 so that average applied voltage and average current produce the charge rate.
When the desired charge voltage (or current time product) is achieved the switch may be moved to position 2 to hold the charge.
To remove the charge, Sw1 can be moved to position 4 so that energy recovery may be achieved by returning the stored energy to the source.
There are many variations of recovery circuits, all of which have to overcome the problem where both the charge and recovery portions of the cycle are subject to the loss of energy during transfer in the inductor and switching elements.
A typical system consisting of an energy source, switch elements, and transfer inductor might achieve efficiencies of 0.9 to 0.95 if carefully designed. Assuming a piezoelectric transfer efficiency of 0.05 the overall system efficiency ns may be calculated.
ns =Energy Load/(Energy loss+Energy Load)
Energy Load=EL =0.05 Ec.
Ec =Charge Energy
Energy loss=E1 =(1-0.92) Ec
The energy loss occurs on both charge and recovery therefore ##EQU1##
Thus with 92 percent efficient circuitry and a lossless piezo element only 24% system efficiency is realized because of the large circulating energy which is subject to circuit losses.
In some actuators layers of piezoelectric material are stacked and each layer driven by a different wave form such that mechanical summing of the layers results in a desired actuator movement. For a complete explanation see Rockwell International Corporation's copending patent application Ser. No. 07/743,069 filed Aug. 9, 1991 which is a continuation of Ser. No. 07/488,548 filed Mar. 5, 1990 for an Electrical Drive for a Segmented Transducer which is hereby made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference.
In some actuator designs such as those found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,928,030, for a Piezoelectric Actuator issued May 22, 1990, U.S. Pat. No. 5,017,820 for a Piezoelectric Rotary Union System issued May 21, 1991 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,068,566 for an Electric Traction Motor issued Nov. 26, 1991 all of which are made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference, multiple pairs of actuators operate in smooth walking motion to alternately contact and move objects. These actuators are particularly receptive of the present invention because one actuator is being discharged while an adjacent actuator is being charged.
FIG. 2 shows that a significant system efficiency improvement can be achieved by having two or more actuators which work alternately so that the energy from one actuator is transferred directly to a second actuator.
As an example, assume that in the initial condition piezoelectric actuator 5 is fully charged and piezoelectric actuator 6 has zero charge.
Switch 2 is in position 1 connecting piezoelectric actuator 6 to the transfer inductor 4 and switch 1 is alternated between position 1 and 3, by a controller, to transfer energy from piezoelectric actuator 5 through transfer inductor 4 to piezoelectric actuator 6 at the desired rate. In this configuration the energy transfer will allow the charges to equalize the voltage on the piezoelectric actuators.
If switch 2 remains in position 1 until the current rises in sinusoidal manner to the peak value determined by ##EQU2## and decays to zero, all charge will transfer from piezoelectric actuator 5 to piezoelectric actuator 6. Switch 2 can then be moved to position 3 for isolating the charge on piezoelectric actuator 6.
During this process piezoelectric actuator 5 moves to its rest state and piezoelectric actuator 6 moves to its stressed state.
Since the transfer of energy results in some loss, and since additional energy loss occurs if piezoelectric actuator 6 is doing some work, the energy in the system would be depleted to zero after several transfers. However additional energy may be added to the system by utilizing position 2 of the control switches 1 and 2, to introduce additional energy from the source to make up for the losses.
If the sinusoidal transfer of charge current is not desirable because of the required motion of the piezoelectric actuators, an alternate operating mode where both switch 1 and switch 2 alternately transfer between positions 1 and 3, the energy will flow piece wise from piezoelectric actuator 5 to piezoelectric actuator 6 by moving from the electrostatic field of the piezoelectric actuators to the electromagnetic field of the inductor and then to the electrostatic field of the second piezoelectric actuator.
The limitation of using identically reversed wave forms to charge and discharge the piezoelectric actuator pairs has eliminated transferring all of the recovered energy to the source and then to the other piezoelectric actuator, and the transfer losses are approximately halved. The net efficiency for the system is approximately ##EQU3## which is 1.6 times the previous value.
Many LC energy transfer configurations using both linear and non linear inductive elements may be implemented, but the efficiency of the system always improves if the circulating energy moves between the piezoelectric actuators with the fewest intermediate energy storage elements and switches.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, current from the energy source 1 charges the inductor 4, which is then transferred to one or the other piezoelectric actuators 5 or 6, until the desired charge (and charge rate is achieved) then the energy is transferred from piezoelectric actuator 5 to piezoelectric actuator 6 and back as required, with occasional supplements from the energy source to make up losses and supply the energy required by the work being done.
Many inductor circuits may be used in the above design. By way of example FIGS. 4 and 6 show two inductor circuits which may be used.
An example of a non linear inductor (saturable reactor) transfer circuit which produces an oscillatory wave form which is a pseudo square wave is shown in FIG. 4, where piezoelectric actuators 5 and 6 are of equal capacitance and the transfer inductor 4 is a saturable inductor with values of L unsaturated and L saturated.
As the chart in FIG. 5 shows, piezoelectric actuator 5 is charged and piezoelectric actuator 6 is at zero charge when Switch 1 is closed to start the cycle at time zero. Current slowly rises in inductor 4 until current saturation, when the volt second rating of the inductor is reached. When the inductor saturates the circuit impedance rapidly drops to a new value determined by L saturation. A sinusoidal current then flows from piezoelectric actuator 5 through the conductor to piezoelectric actuator 6 during the period from T1 to T2. When the current drops to zero the inductor unsaturates. During the period from T2 to T3 piezoelectric actuator 6 is charged, piezoelectric actuator 5 has zero charge and the low frequency transfer of charge from piezoelectric actuator 6 to piezoelectric actuator 5 begins. The current magnitude is determined by L unsaturated as is the oscillatory frequency. As the current slowly increases the I saturation value is reached in V�t time, the inductor saturates in the other end of the B H loop and rapid retransfer of the charge occurs. The transfer time is controlled by L saturation and the hold time by L unsaturation. The rest of the hold time can be extended by opening switch 1 when the current is at zero. The combination of the saturable inductor with a switch for controlled hold times results in less stress on the switch compared to using a fixed inductor and switch since the large value of L unsaturated reduces di/dt after the switch closure and allows time to complete the switch closure function before large current values flow. The fixed inductor circuit in FIG. 6 does not have the slowly changing current (representing the longer time constant of t=√L unsaturated�Cpz) between charge transfer pulses as shown in FIG. 7.
Many other combinations of multiple switches, inductors, or nonlinear inductors may be used to produce variations charging current wave forms to produce desired motions of the piezoelectric actuators, but if the devices are operated with complementary motions so that the energy stored in each half of the system can be transferred to the other half without returning it to the source the transfer losses can be minimized and higher system efficiency will be achieved.
The controller for operating the switches can have sensors on the piezoelectric elements and on the inductor to tell the controller what the state of the element or inductor is as well as providing information as to the position of the actuator.
Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

Alfange Lecture: "Peculiar Institution: America's Death Penalty in an Age of Abolition"
Amherst Room, 10th floor, Campus Center, UMass Amherst
Please join us for the annual Dean Alfange Jr Lecture in American Constitutionalism. This year's speaker is David W. Garland, Arthur T. Vanderbilt Professor of Law and Professor of Sociology, New York University School of Law.
The U.S. death penalty is a peculiar institution, and a uniquely American one. Despite its comprehensive abolition elsewhere in the Western world, capital punishment continues in dozens of American states– a fact that is frequently discussed but rarely understood. The same puzzlement surrounds the peculiar form that American capital punishment now takes, with its uneven application, its seemingly endless delays, and the uncertainty of its ever being carried out in individual cases, none of which seem conducive to effective crime control or criminal justice.
America's radical federalism and local democracy, as well as its legacy of violence and racism, account for our divergence from the rest of the West. Whereas the elites of other nations were able to impose nationwide abolition from above despite public objections, American elites are unable– and unwilling– to end a punishment that has the support of local majorities and a storied place in popular culture.
In the course of hundreds of decisions, federal courts sought to rationalize and civilize an institution that too often resembled a lynching, producing layers of legal process but also delays and reversals. Yet the Supreme Court insists that the issue is to be decided by local political actors and public opinion. So the death penalty continues to respond to popular will, enhancing the power of criminal justice professionals, providing drama for the media, and bringing pleasure to a public audience who consumes its chilling tales.

In 2014, it takes Apple and U2 to pull off a musical monoculture that rivals both Beyoncé's 2013 sneak attack and Radiohead's pay-what-you-want In Rainbows launch.

Unbeknownst to the masses, Apple released U2's unannounced but highly anticipated new album, Songs of Innocence, straight into the music library of every iTunes user worldwide. "This will be the largest album release in history. Over a half-billion people own it.

I remember the exact moment I realized there were two Salman Rushdies. It was when I read his 2001 humblebrag about palling around with U2. "I've been crossing frontiers all my life — physical, social, intellectual, artistic borderlines," Rushdie wrote, "and I spotted, in Bono and the Edge, whom I've so far come to know better than the others, an equal hunger for the new, for whatever nourishes." The truth is that Rushdie's camaraderie with the members of U2 — particularly Bono — makes total sense, and the fact that he finds them to be kindred spirits even more: both of them did their best work in the 1980s, and both of them (at least in Bono's case) have spent the bulk of their careers advocating and being the faces of specific causes. Bono's tend to vary, while Rushdie is the freedom of speech hero who faced religious crazies that threatened his life after Ayatollah Khomeini, the spiritual leader of Iran, placed a fatwā on Rushdie's head for his 1988 novel, The Satanic Verses, which the Ayatollah claimed was "blasphemous against Islam."

Mandatory retirement: Supreme Court won't hear appeal of Air Canada pilots forced to retire at 60
SCOC dismisses appeal in case where some Air Canada pilots had to retire at 60. The law has since changed.

The Supreme Court of Canada has declined to hear an appeal filed on behalf of two Air Canada pilots who were forced to retire at 60.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court dismissed an application filed on behalf of pilots Neil Kelly and George Vilven. The court gave no reasons for its decision.
"It's been a long slog for both of them," said lawyer Raymond Hall, who represented Kelly and Vilven. "It's hard to hide the disappointment. It's an emotional issue. You just have to soldier on."
The cases centre on a small group of pilots who wanted to fly beyond the mandatory retirement age of 60 agreed on both the company and union.
Both the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and the Federal Court of Appeal upheld Air Canada's right to force pilots to retire at age 60.
The federal government has since changed the Canadian Human Rights Act, barring mandatory retirement in federally regulated jurisdictions such as banking, transportation and telecommunications.
It went into effect on Dec. 15, 2012, and Air Canada's pilots can now fly beyond the age of 60. Out of 3,000 pilots, about 100 turn 60 each year. So far, 10 have elected to stay on.
Both Air Canada and the pilots' union argued that the Supreme Court shouldn't hear the case because mandatory retirement has since been repealed, although the changes were not retroactive.
"It is ironic that the very people who are largely responsible for effecting the change are the ones unable to benefit from it," said Hall, who was also an Air Canada pilot.
Craig Blandford, president of the Air Canada Pilots Assocation, said his group is pleased with the decision, calling it recognition that the policy was not discriminatory.
While Kelly and Vilven have lost their cases, Hall said the fight continues as a separate appeal, involving about 70 Air Canada pilots, due to be heard in May in Federal Court.
Blandford conceded some cases remain unresolved. "For us, we see this as the end of the road," he said. "We're hoping these pilots will drop their cases and let us all get on with our lives.
"And take this as a sign and a message they don't have a case here. They weren't discriminated against."

One of the highlights of the All-Star break each year is the celebrity softball game, which features famous personalities as well as legends from the host team. The folks over at NESN Daily decided to put together a Red Sox old-timers game of their own, with Mike Mutnansky and Uri Berenguer playing the role of general manager on opposing squads. The two alternated picks, ending up with a couple of rosters that would make for an interesting contest. Mutnansky's team was headlined by former Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra, while Berenguer took a shot on Manny Ramirez and nabbed Pedro Martinez...

Column: Kobe Bryant doesn't doubt the Zen Master
As for Brown, well, that's what happens sometimes when you work on the big stage. Brown's biggest problem may have been that Bryant never warmed up to him, but his strange decision to implement an offense suited more for a team of journeymen than superstars undoubtedly helped speed up his demise.
A Princeton offense in a Showtime town? Not with Jack Nicholson and the rest of Hollywood's elite sitting courtside, you don't. Not when there are huge television deals, huge contracts, and huge luxury tax payments on the horizon.
This was a team built to win now, a team with aging stars in Bryant and Steve Nash that couldn't afford to wait to gel. Yes, Dwight Howard is still playing at about 50 percent of his ability as he works himself back into shape after back surgery, but the sum of this team was still far less than its parts.
Bryant went on Facebook to claim he had a good relationship with Brown and to wish him his best. But his biggest statement may have come on the court against the Warriors, where he dominated as if to declare the Brown era was over and a new one was beginning.
The Lakers can only hope this coaching change turns out as well as another early season firing did for the team 31 years ago. Paul Westhead was the coach then, but Magic Johnson was unhappy with his offensive system and asked to be traded early in the season, and Westhead was fired with the Lakers just 7-4 on the year.
His replacement was an assistant named Pat Riley, who took the team to the NBA title that year and ended up coaching three more championships in LA.
A content Kobe playing for the coach he admires most isn't going to make that happen by himself. He can still take over individual games, but for the season-long grind he'll need Nash to return from injury, Howard to keep improving, and Pau Gasol to play as hard as Bryant likes him to.
The Lakers will also need to figure out a way to play defense, something they refused to do much of under Brown, who built his reputation as a defensive coach.
It won't be an easy task, even if they get Jackson. There are no guarantees, especially when the road to any title goes through LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
But if Bryant doesn't doubt the Zen Master, Laker fans shouldn't either.

Re: ***Official AVP 2010 (PC) Thread***
I got in one game of multiplayer and got through the tutorial for the predator last night. Predator seems cool, but I really was just rushing through the tutorial when I probably should have payed more attention. Graphics look fine, nothing spectacular, but I am in dx9 mode with my SLI GTX 275's. I think I tried loading up the DX11 .exe using steam and it didn't work but I don't remember.
I got absolutely smoked in the multiplayer... how are people so good already? Granted, I was playing as a predator for the first time ever, so I am sure that had to do with it. Maybe I should have payed more attention during the tutorial in SP lol. There was a lot less lag this time around... not sure if it had to do with it being the full game and not the demo but everyone's ping was around 100-120. That's not the greatest but I could at least see people wind up their heavy attacks and see them blocking, etc.
I will probably log a ton more into this game this weekend as I have a lot of friends out of town so there's not much else to do.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Five Grizzlies scored in double digits as Memphis rolled to a 108-90 victory over the Bucks Wednesday at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. Memphis (3-1) shot 53 percent from the field and was paced by an 18-point, 13-rebound effort by center Zach Randolph and got 17 and 14 points, respectively, from Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol. Marreese Speights scored 18 amd Mike Conley had 13. The Grizzies' offense was clicking on all cylinders, connecting on 44 of 83 shots and they were a combined 6-for-16 from beyond the arc. Defensively, Memphis's size advantage kept Milwaukee guards Brandon Jennings and Monte Ellis off-balance all night. The Bucks' starting backcourt shot a combined 11-for-38 from the field as Jennings scored 19 to lead Milwaukee and Ellis adding 15. A 13-4 run to open the second half helped the Grizzlies build a 68-49 lead with 7:27 left in the third quarter. The Bucks came roaring back with a 12-2 run of their own, getting within 12 at 71-59 with 3:12 ...

Man calmly drove away, witness says
Munigia is on trial in death of local man, 26
A witness in the murder trial of 23-year-old Francisco Mungia testified Thursday he remembered seeing him walk into an apartment with a gun in his pocket before hearing several gunshots.
Mungia is accused in the fatal shooting of Daniel Flores, 26, whose body was found in a second-floor apartment in the 1500 block of Seventh Street on Oct. 25, 2006. Flores, who went by the street name "Lucky" and was in the same gang as Mungia, had been shot several times, according to testimony.
Christopher Shawn Jones, 23, said he was outside with friends near the apartment, which was known as a drug house, when he saw Mungia pull up in a maroon SUV or Ford Explorer.
After Jones heard the gunshots he saw several people, with the exception of Mungia, leaving the apartment in a rush.
"He got in his car all calm and collectively and drove off," Jones said.
Mungia's attorney, Ken Botary, said his client never was there and added Flores could have been shot by other gang members upset over stolen money.
Two other witnesses have said they too remembered seeing Mungia there that day but didn't see who shot Flores.
Testimony in the trial will resume at 9 a.m. today in 105th District Judge J. Manuel Bañales' court. Visiting Judge Robert Pate will continue to substitute for Bañales.

Some things just go together; Rum and coke, peanuts and Crackerjacks, pizza and beer. Which brings me to Mission Street's burger., where almost 50 draft beers are joined by even more bottled selections. All those beers, just begging for pizza. And burger. heard their cries.
The new offerings are wood-fired with dough and sauces made daily. The pizzas I enjoyed each had thin, cracker-crisp crusts, a seared edge here and there, and a hint of flavorful cheese.
We ordered burgers and pizzas at the counter, and beers at the bar. The burgers arrived quickly. French fries were dipped in ketchup, sweet potato fries in a vinegared Thousand Island-style tartar sauce. As my compadres took the final bites of their juicy sandwiches, making use of the abundant napkins, the first pizza arrived.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) just voted to move ahead with a proposal to bring faster Internet to almost every school in the country. The proposal would overhaul the E-Rate program, which subsidizes Internet services for schools and libraries, but only those that meet its criteria. The FCC is currently looking into how it can alter the program to handle a larger number of students who need to work at higher speeds. This vote is a response to the federal government putting pressure on the FCC, which is the largest funder of Internet Connectivity in K12 schools across America. In June, President Barack Obama promised that he would work with the agency to bring faster Internet to 99 percent of schools. The White House believes this vote marks the first step of its own ConnectEd initiative, which would get more devices in the hands of teachers and students. The broader goal of ConnectEd is to encourage "blended" learning models in schools, meaning that lessons will be taught online and in the physical classroom. "That is the process that the FCC began today, and we look forward to the next steps in this effort as we move closer to our goal of getting 99 percent of America's students connected to the Internet through high-speed broadband and high-speed wireless within five years," said a spokesperson from the White House in a statement.

Jim Crace is a writer of spectacular originality and a command of language that moves a reader effortlessly into the world of his imagination. In The Pesthouse he imagines an America of the future where a man and a woman trek across a devastated and dangerous landscape, finding strength in each other and an unexpected love.
Once the safest, most prosperous place on earth, the United States is now a lawless, scantly populated wasteland. The machines have stopped. The government has collapsed. Farmlands lie fallow and the soil is contaminated by toxins. Across the country, families have packed up their belongings to travel eastward toward the one hope left: passage on a ship to Europe.
Franklin Lopez and his brother, Jackson, are only days away from the ocean when Franklin, nearly crippled by an inflamed knee, is forced to stop. In the woods near his temporary refuge, Franklin comes upon an isolated stone building. Inside he finds Margaret, a woman with a deadly infection and confined to the Pesthouse to sweat out her fever. Tentatively, the two join forces and make their way through the ruins of old America. Confronted by bandits rounding up men for slavery, finding refuge in the Ark, a religious community that makes bizarre demands on those they shelter, Franklin and Margaret find their wariness of each other replaced by deep trust and an intimacy neither one has ever experienced before.
The Pesthouse is Jim Crace's most compelling novel to date. Rich in its understanding of America's history and ethos, it is a paean to the human spirit.
JIM CRACE is the author of eight previous novels. Being Dead was shortlisted for the 1999 Whitbread Fiction Prize and won the U.S. National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction in 2000. In 1997, Quarantine was named the Whitbread Novel of the Year and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Jim Crace has also received the Whitbread First Novel Prize, the E. M. Forster Award, and the Guardian Fiction Prize. He lives in Birmingham, England.

Connect: Helping Animals Move in a Changing Climate
Imagine you're on a long hike, and you are trying to get to a valley on the other side of a mountain. Do you take a gentle trail that leads you easily around it? Or do you hike straight up the mountain, braving waist-deep snow, frigid wind, slick rocks and risk of death?
It really isn't much of a decision, is it?
Animals take similar routes when they migrate and roam. A mule deer or a lynx won't waste calories or risk its life by taking a precarious route. To survive and thrive, they need relatively easy paths to move to feeding, breeding and resting areas.
Now animals face a new reason to move: climate change. As vegetation and climactic conditions change, many species will need to move to new ranges.
But how do they get to these new habitats? Will they find an easy route, or will they have to risk roads, inhospitable terrain, housing developments and other dangerous paths?
Questions like these are at the heart of what ecologists call connectivity: the degree to which a landscape allows wildlife to move from one place to the next. A well-connected landscape is one where animals can move easily. In a disconnected landscape, populations and habitats become isolated from each other.
A new paper published in Conservation Biology by Tristan Nuñez and colleagues from the Washington Wildlife Habitat Connectivity Working Group provides a simple and straightforward method for land managers to account for species shifting their ranges in response to climate change, and to protect and restore land accordingly.

Wyoming rallies but loses 37-34 to No. 18 Huskers
The Huskers looked like they would take control after going into halftime ahead 17-14.
Cross scored his second touchdown after he took a handoff, slipped up the middle, bounced off linebacker Jordan Stanton and spun around twice before finishing his 31-yard touchdown run for a 24-14 lead.
Nebraska went 67 yards in 15 plays on its next series, with Martinez lofting a 3-yard touchdown pass to Quincy Enunwa. Officials ruled Enunwa didn't get his foot down inbounds, but the call was overturned on video review.
Wyoming pulled to 31-21 when Brandon Miller caught a short pass from Smith and battled his way into the end zone for a 22-yard TD.
Nebraska has won all seven meetings with Wyoming and is 33-2 against current members of the Mountain West Conference.
The Cowboys went 64 yards in six plays on their second possession to take the early lead. Wick ran 37 yards down the sideline before Smith hit Claiborne with a 6-yard touchdown pass after getting flushed from the pocket.
Another big run, this one a 47-yarder by Smith, helped the Cowboys go up 14-10 early in the second quarter. Harvey Jackson made the touchdown-saving tackle on Smith, but Wick bulled into the end zone from 6 yards three plays later.
Nebraska regained the lead with 5:59 left in the half after Abdullah broke a career-long 62-yard run. He eluded Huff's diving tackle attempt before making it to the corner. He accelerated past Stanton and would have scored if Darrenn White, who had an angle on him, hadn't knocked him out of bounds at the Wyoming 18.
Cross went up the middle for 17 yards and fumbled, but receiver Quincy Enunwa recovered, and Cross went ran into the end zone on the next play for a 17-14 lead.
The game drew a school-record attendance of 91,185, made possible by a 6,000-seat addition to the east side of Memorial Stadium.

Taiwanese Animators Ask If Lionel Messi's Goal-Scoring Records Are Enough To Make Him All-Time Great (Video)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 12/11/12
Lionel Messi catches everything he pursues, when it comes to goal-scoring records. On Sunday, the FC Barcelona and Argentina superstar scored his 86th goal of 2012, breaking Gerd Muller's record for most goals in a calendar year (though Muller's ownership of the record is under dispute). The expert animators at Taiwan's Next Media told Messi's tale — as only they can — in a new video. The first half of the Next Media video was dedicated to Messi's rise to the top of the global game, but the other half asked a provocative question: Should we speak of him in the same breath as other legends of the game — Pele, Franz Beckenbauer, Zinedine Zidane, Diego Maradona and Ronaldo – even though he has not won a FIFA World Cup with Argentina? Yes, Next Media. Yes we should. There's more to life than what occurs every fourth summer. See Next Media's Messi animation in the video below. Have a question for Marcus Kwesi O'Mard? Send it to him via Twitter at @NESNsoccer, NESN Soccer's Facebook page or send it here. He will pick a few questions to answer every week for his mailbag.

Going to Sardegna in Fall... a shorttrip to see the sun
View Single Post
lifetime noob on wheels
Joined: Oct 2007
Location: Munich, Germany
Oddometer: 424
Land in sight, the Port of Golfo Aranci
6 hours of sleep later, i woke up at 0600am to take a few pics of the rising sun.
sadly the aperture was so high, all of them are a little shaky. but trust me, the
sun was fantastic.
we went off the ferry and marion told wolfi (he was on sardegna a few times, so
he was the tourguide), that she was running out of fuel. she will need gas in
a few km. really low on gas. he said yes, yes, yes and off we go.
ok, guess who was running out of fuel, who didn't noticed that she was not
following the group and who had to go for a gas station to get her 2 liters of
super unleaded? marion, wolfi and me. in this order. no problem and we laughed
about it when drinking our coffee in the morning sun a few kilometers later.
weather was great, behind us, over the sea were dark clouds, over the island
only a few little white clouds. the costa smeralda ist one of the
nicest coastal routes with a yacht harbour. after we visited this spot we went
south, looking for camping spots and the wonderful SS125, which leads the
eastside of sardegna.
sometimes it's not so easy to find the way, because you have to go a few
extra kilometers if you don't want to jump over a small pothole.

The X-Rack from Solid State Logic is a 19" rack mount chassis that can house up to 8 X-Rack modules, while providing the necessary power for them to function. The line of modules include mic preamps, dynamics modules, EQ, a master bus module and a choice of input modules. But the unit's similarity to products from other manufacturers that also provide this function, ends there.
The rack itself contains several internal buses that can, in concert with the Master Bus module, be accessed by the Microphone Preamp module, as well as the Four and Eight Input modules. This allows the X-Rack to function as a compact modular stereo mixer with up to twenty-eight inputs per rack. Such a set-up can be used as front-end or summing solution for a DAW, as an SSL based effects rack, or as a sidecar for a larger hardware console.
Another unique feature is the incorporation of the "Total Recall" function found on SSL's large format consoles and the smaller AWS 900 digital console. The Total Recall computer stores the status of each switch and rotary control in one of thirty-two internal memory locations. These can be recalled, compared with the current settings using front panel LEDs, and then adjusted to their original state.
The X-Rack can interface with the Total Recall system on an AWS 900 or AWS 900+. This allows the settings of up to three X-Rack units to be stored along with the AWS 900 settings. MIDI implementation allows for a certain amount of control over remote operation of the Master Bus module, and the sending or receiving of SysEx data to save or load all internal memory to a MIDI sequencer or librarian.
- Modular rack system that incorporates SSL's Total Recall capability
- Supports X-Rack series modules that include an eight input summing module, four channel input, master bus, microphone preamp, channel EQ and the original XL 9000 K console dynamics module
- Can be configured as a stand-alone mixer, an analog summing system for a DAW, or as a stand-alone processor solution for studio and live applications
- Working with the inserts of an AWS 900 digital console, the X-Rack system can provide a complete SSL channel processing solution for the console
- Multiple racks can be daisy-chained and linked to a single Master Bus module installed on only one of the racks

Grown in Vermont - A Patagonia Environmental Internship with Post Oil Solutions
by Cadence Reed
Last summer, Cadence Reed embarked on a two-week-long environmental internship through Patagonia's internship program. She was one of 18 individual employees, along with 11 stores that went on group internships, to volunteer for environmental work this year. Cadence repairs broken clothing at our Reno Service Center, thereby helping the company fulfill its commitment to our Common Threads Initiative.
I headed east from Reno to Vermont on August 15, 2011, for a two-week long environmental internship with Post Oil Solutions in southern Vermont. As I flew east over the arid Nevada landscape, I looked forward to the lush vegetation that awaited me in the Green Mountain State. I was quite familiar with Vermont, having grown up there. Once I hit the ground and was heading north on Highway 91 to Bellows Falls, a peaceful feeling came over me as the green landscape and warm, humid air rushed by the car windows.
Vermont has historically been known for spearheading new and innovative social and environmental practices. Act 250 outlaws any big box stores from building in non-existing buildings in order to support small businesses, and billboards are illegal statewide. A group like Post Oil Solutions (POS) fits in well.

U.S. confirms death of al Shabaab leader Godane in Somalia strike
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Pentagon confirmed on Friday that Ahmed Abdi Godane, a leader of the al Shabaab Islamist group, was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Somalia this week, calling it a "major symbolic and operational loss" for the al Qaeda-affiliated militants.
"We have confirmed that Ahmed Godane, the co-founder of al Shabaab, has been killed," Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon's press secretary, said in a statement.
Pentagon says Iraq operations costing on average $7.5 million per day
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. military operations against Islamic State in Iraq have cost an average of $7.5 million per day since they began in mid-June, the Pentagon said on Friday, a figure that means the department has spent more than $500 million on the conflict.
Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, told a briefing the expense of U.S. operations against Islamic State in Iraq had varied since U.S. forces became involved on June 16 but on average "it's costing us about $7.5 million per day."
Pentagon's relatively small Iraq costs may jump with escalation: analysts
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A big escalation in U.S. military activity against Islamic State militants could force the Pentagon to seek more money from Congress as policymakers draft next year's budget, though it should be able to pay for the current pace of operations from existing funds.
The prospect of seeking more money for the Pentagon just months ahead of congressional elections could raise scrutiny on Capitol Hill of the Obama administration's decision on whether to step up U.S. efforts against the jihadists in Iraq and Syria.
Experimental U.S. hypersonic weapon destroyed seconds after launch
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A hypersonic weapon being developed by the U.S. military was destroyed four seconds after its launch from a test range in Alaska early on Monday after controllers detected a problem with the system, the Pentagon said.
The weapon is part of a program to create a missile that will destroy targets anywhere on Earth within an hour of getting data and permission to launch.
U.S. protests intercept of Navy jet by Chinese warplane
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States charged on Friday that a Chinese fighter pilot conducted a "dangerous intercept" of a Navy patrol plane in international air space this week, flying a few yards (meters) from the U.S. jet and performing acrobatic maneuvers around it.
Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said the United States lodged a formal diplomatic protest with Beijing over the incident, which took place on Tuesday 135 miles (215 km) east of Hainan Island, site of a sensitive Chinese submarine base.
Insight – Amid U.S. air strikes, Iraq struggles to build own air force
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama told a recent interviewer he did not want the U.S. military to become Iraq's air force. But he may have little choice.
Iraq had only a fledgling air force when the United States withdrew in 2011. Washington has agreed to bolster Iraqi air power by selling Baghdad 36 sophisticated F-16 multi-role jet fighters and 24 Apache helicopters.

U.S. watchdog finds Pentagon broke law in Bergdahl transfer
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Defense Department violated U.S. law by failing to alert Congress before releasing five Taliban members held at Guantanamo Bay military prison in exchange for a captured U.S. soldier, a government watchdog agency said on Thursday.
The Government Accountability Office said the Pentagon broke the law by using money appropriated by Congress to carry out the transfer of Guantanamo prisoners without giving lawmakers the required 30-day notice.
U.S. ship finishes neutralizing Syria's worst chemical arms: Pentagon
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A specially equipped U.S. ship has finished neutralizing all 600 metric tons of the most dangerous of Syria's chemical weapons components surrendered to the international community this year to avert threatened air strikes, the Pentagon said on Monday.
It said the Cape Ray, equipped with the U.S.-developed Field Deployable Hydrolysis System, neutralized 581.5 metric tons of DF, a sarin precursor chemical, and 19.8 metric tons of HD, an ingredient of sulfur mustard, while afloat in the Mediterranean.
Russia transfer of rocket system to Ukraine rebels imminent- Pentagon
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Pentagon said on Friday the transfer of heavy-caliber multiple-launch rocket systems from Russia to Ukrainian separatists appeared to be imminent with the arms close enough to the border they could be handed over "potentially today."
"We have indications that the Russians intend to supply heavier and more sophisticated multiple-launch rocket systems in the very near future," said Army Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, adding that the weapons were in the over-200mm range.

Liberals, your correspondent very much included, spent years being repulsed by the Bush swagger.
They had the swagger and the confidence that a powerhouse program deserved.

1590, first recorded in Shakespeare ("Midsummer Night's Dream"), probably a frequentative form of swag (v.). Related: Swaggered; swaggering. The noun is attested from 1725.
