Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade both came out in support this week of NBA players getting paid for their participation in the Olympics. Wade, who is likely to be on the U.S. roster this summer in London, pointed to the money NBA players generate.
"It's a lot of things you do for the Olympics — a lot of jerseys you sell," Wade said after the Heat's practice on Wednesday in advance of Thursday's game against Chicago. "We play the whole summer. I do think guys should be compensated. Just like I think college players should be compensated as well. Unfortunately, it's not there. But I think it should be something, you know, there for it."
via Dwyane Wade: NBA Olympians should be compensated – ESPN.
The reality is that Wade and other NBA stars already do get paid for their Olympic participation. They don't get a check from the International Olympic Committee, but they do get one from Nike or Adidas or Gatorade or another endorsement partner.
Wade earns more than $10 million annually off the court from sponsors including: Jordan (owned by Nike), Gatorade, Hublot, Mission and Pepperidge Farm. His Nike deal is worth roughly $7 million annually. How much of that $7 million is tied to Nike knowing Wade will be a regular at the Olympics (this summer will be his third Games)? The Olympics provide Wade global exposure and allows him to command more valuable endorsement deals.
Shoe companies are the driving force behind the off court incomes for NBA stars. Ten NBA players have signature shoe deals with Nike, Adidas and Reebok. Eight of them are part of the preliminary USA basketball roster (only Amar'e Stoudemire and John Wall didn't make the cut). These deals typically start at $5 million and can climb as high as $15 million with royalty payments in a good year for elite guys like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. Nike and Adidas want these guys on the world stage to drive sales. This bumps up royalty payments which end up in the pockets of the players.
The Nike brand derives almost 60% of its revenue from outside North America. Nike regularly sends its top players to Asia and Europe during the NBA off-season to store openings or basketball clinics. It is about expanding the footprint of the Nike brand. The Olympics are another form of that.
The Olympics can directly spur new endorsement deals as well. Bryant was the most popular non-Chinese athlete at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He capitalized on that by inking a deal with Chinese media company Sina in 2009 for his own site on the news portal. Smart, owned by Daimler AG, later signed the six-foot-six Bryant to promote the microcars in China.
Wade took to Twitter Wednesday night to clarify his comments: "What I was referencing is there is a lot of Olympic business that happens that athletes are not a part of – and it's a complicated issue." He added: "BUT my love 4 the game & pride 4 USA motivates me more than any $$$ amount. I repped my country in 2004 when we won the bronze medal and stood proudly to receive our gold medal in 2008 in Beijing. It's always been an honor for me to be a part of the USA Olympic family…and I'm looking forward to doing it again in London this summer."
Wade won't get a check when he shows up for the London Games, but his appearance will pay off in the end.
UPDATE: In a statement Thursday, Wade said, "I do not want to be paid to go to the Olympics."

I want to extract just the lines with specific line numbers from a file (I have about 20-50 line numbers, the file has 30,000 lines). So far, the most concise way I've found to do this is e.g.:
gawk 'BEGIN {split("13193,15791,16891", A, ",")} NR in A' <file_name>
but it seems like I should be able to further reduce the amount of typing involved. I've looked at
sed but I think I need an
-n and a
-p for each line number, also thought about
cat -n with
grep but it's more verbose than the above. Does anyone know a better way?

Thermal stability of different preparation of NOX immobilized onto differently activated agarose surfaces. The preparation of different NOX insoluble derivatives was carried out according to that described in Methods. 8 U (at 65°C) of each NOX insoluble preparations were incubated in 50 mM sodium phosphate at pH 7 and 83°C. At such conditions, half-life time of soluble NOX can be quantified in less than 24 h, allowing thus to calculate the stabilization factors achieved by each immobilization protocol. Stabilization factor was defined as the ration between the half-life times of each immobilized derivative and the soluble preparation. NOX preparations studied here were; soluble (empty rhombus), immobilized onto IDA-Cu2+-ag (crosses), immobilized onto CNBr-ag (full triangles) or immobilized onto Gx-ag (full squares). In all cases the crosslinking percentage of agarose was 6% (agarose-6BCL). Results represents the mean (± SD) of three different experiments.

Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Other Events, Financial Statements
On November 14, 2012, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Ames National Corporation (the "Company") approved changes to the amount of total salary to be designated as "deferred salary" under the Company's Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the "MIC Plan") covering certain key officers of the Company, including the Named Executive Officers as identified in the Company's proxy statement. Under the terms of the MIC Plan, the total salary of a participating officer is divided between "base salary", payment of which is not contingent upon the financial performance of the Company's subsidiary banks (the "Banks"), and "deferred salary", payment of which is contingent upon the financial performance of the Banks. Payment of deferred salary is determined on a semi-annual basis and a participating officer is eligible to receive payment of some or all of the officer's deferred salary based upon a formula established by the MIC Plan that compares actual Bank performance for the two previous calendar quarters against a performance target.
The amount of total salary to be designated as "deferred salary" is determined according to a formula based upon the average assets of the Banks (as calculated for the two quarters ended September 30 of the year prior to the year for which compensation is being determined). As revised, the formula provides that "deferred salary" will be an amount equal to $100 for each $1 million of average assets of the Bank multiplied by the allocation percentage assigned to the officer. Previously, the formula specified that "deferred salary" was an amount equal to $250 for each $1 million of average assets of the Bank multiplied by the allocation percentage to the officer. The effect of this change is to allocate a greater amount of total salary into the "base salary" category and away from the "deferred salary" category for which payment is at risk. The Board believed this change was appropriate due to the growth in average assets at the Bank level since the MIC Plan's inception in 2001, which has resulted in the amount of deferred salary as a percentage of total compensation becoming higher than the total incentive compensation at risk for officers of comparable peer banks in the State of Iowa. This lower amount of compensation at risk will ensure a more competitive compensation package to retain and attract competent senior management at the Company.
On November 14, 2012, the Company announced a stock repurchase program commencing immediately. A copy of the press release dated November 14, 2012, is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
On November 14, 2012, the Company announced the declaration of a cash dividend. A copy of the press release dated November 14, 2012 is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Study suggests brain damage may have affected Benoit
Updated: September 6, 2007, 1:36 PM ETESPN.com news services
ATLANTA -- Pro wrestler Chris Benoit suffered brain damage from his years in the ring that could help explain why he killed his wife, son and himself, a doctor who studied Benoit's brain said Wednesday.
"These extreme changes throughout Chris Benoit's brain are enough to explain aberrant behavior, including suicide and even homicide," said Julian Bailes, chairman of neurosurgery at West Virginia University and a founding member of the Sports Legacy Institute.
The analysis by doctors ...

promised by VE can be expected to make a significant difference in these investigations, with the potential to provide: the ability to quickly sample a datasets volume without cluttering the visualization; no penalty for investigating regions that are not expected to be of interest; and the ability to see the relationship between data nearby in space or time without cluttering up the visualization. In short, real-time interaction should encourage exploration.
Just as important, a natural, anthropomorphic three-dimensional VE-based interface can aid the unambiguous display of these structures by providing a rich set of spatial and depth cues. VE input interfaces allow the rapid and intuitive exploration of the volume containing the data, enabling the various phenomena at various places in that volume to be explored, as well as providing simple control of the visualization environment through controls integrated into the environment.
A properly constructed VE-based interface will require very little of the user's attention; it would be used naturally, using pointing and speech commands and directions rather than command-line text input. Someone using such an interface would see an unambiguous three-dimensional display. This would contrast with the current interaction paradigm in scientific visualization, which is based on text or two-dimensional input via graphical user interfaces and two-dimensional projections of three-dimensional scenes.
VE systems for scientific visualization are in many ways like software packages for graphing: tools for displaying and facilitating the interpretation of large datasets. But it is too early to describe a single general-purpose VE system for scientific visualization. At the same time, a number of projects have demonstrated that VR does have significant application potential.
Aeronautical Engineering: The virtual wind tunnel (Bryson and Levit, 1992; Bryson and Gerald-Yamasaki, 1992) uses virtual reality to facilitate the understanding of precomputed simulated flow fields resulting from computational fluid dynamics calculations. The visualization of these computations may be useful to the designers of modern high-performance aircraft. The virtual wind tunnel is expected to be used by aircraft researchers in 1994 and provides a variety of visualization techniques in both single-user and remotely located multiple-user environments.

Spartanburg BCycle is a bike sharing service for Spartanburg, SC. With 5 stations and 38 bikes Spartanburg BCycle makes it easy for locals and visitors to get around Spartanburg by bike.
To access our network of on-demand bicycle stations, purchase a annual membership or weekly pass online or purchase a day pass at any of our stations. Annual members check out bikes by swiping their card at the dock of the bike they wish to use. Day and week pass holders swipe the credit card they used to purchase the pass at the station kiosk to check out a bike. When you are done riding, return your bike to any station in the system and plug it into any empty dock in the station.
Annual memberships are $30, student annual memberships are $20, monthly passes are $15, and day passes $5. Your access pass or membership gives you unlimited checkouts up to one hour (two hours for student annual) at no charge for the access period. Checkouts lasting more than one hour will be charged a usage fee $1 per 30 minute period.
Maximum day rate is $35. To avoid usage fees, check your bike back in within one hour. Sign up as an annual member.
You can purchase a 24 hour Day Pass at any time at any of our BCycle Station kiosks with a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.) When the kiosk screen asks you if you wish to purchase a day pass, select "Yes". You will be asked to sign our user agreement. After prompted to swipe your card, you may choose any available bike. Your 24 hour pass will start with this check out, and you will use this same credit card any other time you wish to check out a bike during that period. Annual memberships and monthly must be purchased online.
Our system recognizes the credit card you used to purchase your pass or membership for access to the system. Any time you wish to check out a bike during your access period, you will swipe the same card (except for annual members who may also use their member card directly at the dock of any available bike.) When the kiosks screen asks you if you wish to purchase a Day Pass, select "I have a pass" and swipe your card when prompted to select your bike. Your card will not be charged again. This simply allows us to recognize your membership without having to issue paper or require you to remember a code.
Your annual pass or 30 day pass will be mailed to you within a week of purchase.
For memberships of thirty days or less, a user's credit card is charged once or twice. The membership fee will be charged at the time of registration. If any usage fees have accrued during the membership period, a second charge will be processed following the end of the membership period.
For memberships of more than thirty days, there will be an initial charge for the membership fee at the time of registration, and thereafter there will be a monthly charge for usage fees, if any, accrued during each month of the membership. A final charge will be processed following the end of the membership period.
If you have a membership that is shorter than annual, you can upgrade it to an annual membership by paying the additional amount necessary. To be eligible for this upgrade option, you must upgrade before your other membership expires. For example, if you bought a monthly membership for $15 on July 1 that expires on July 30, you can log in to your personal web page anytime in July and upgrade to an annual membership that will expire on June 30 of the following year. If the cost of an annual membership is $30, you will have to pay only $15 ($30 minus $15) for the upgrade.
Annual members also have the option of automatically renewing their annual memberships by selecting Auto-Renewal in the Account Preferences section of their personal web page.
Go online to your personal B-cycle web page and suspend your card, or call Partners for Active Living at 864.598.9638 immediately so that we can suspend the card and prevent anyone else from using your card to gain access to a bicycle for which you are financially responsible.
A replacement card will be provided for a nominal fee.
While waiting for your replacement B-card to arrive, you can check out bikes by using the kiosk at each station. You must present the credit card associated with your membership account.
Call Partners for Active Living: 864.598.9638.
Membership fees are non-refundable but if you wish to suspend your account to prevent any new usage fees, call Partners for Active Living or manage your account on your personal BCycle web page.
Contact Partners for Active Living at 864.598.9638 or firstname.lastname@example.com immediately. You are financially responsible for your bike and any others checked out on your card while the bike is checked out of the station. If the bike you checked out is not recovered, you will be responsible for the replacement cost, $1000 plus local sales tax.
Your membership period begins the day of purchase.
Information about each member's use of BCycles is posted to that member's personal BCycle web page. Members must log in to view the information, which includes such information as the date and duration of each trip, the station from which the bike was checked out and the station to which the bike was returned, the distance pedaled, the usage fee (if any), the associated calories burned, and carbon offset.
When signing up online, only one membership can be associated with a credit card. When buying a one-day membership at a kiosk, more than one membership can be associated with a credit card, but the same card must be presented each time a bike is checked out during the membership period.
No, you must be 18 years of age or older to use Spartanburg BCycle.
Spartanburg BCycle is open from 5:00am to 10:00pm. Bikes can be returned after hours. Two beeps and two green blinks indicate a successful return. Spartanburg BCycle intends on being open all year. If the weather in January and February is treacherous, then the program may be closed for a short period of time. Refer to the website of specific systems.
Please return a bike with a flat tire to the nearest B-station. If that is impossible, you must properly secure the bike with the built-in lock and contact Partners for Active Living at 864.598.9638.
If there has been an injury, please dial 911 first. If you are qualified to administer first aid and there is a need, please help out to the limit of your abilities. If appropriate, contact the police, as well. As in any accident, exchange information with any other affected party and collect contact information from witnesses. Contact Partners for Active Living at the earliest appropriate time.
The kiosk located at each station will provide real-time information about which stations nearby have available bikes. At the kiosk select the "Station Full" button after the welcome screen for a list of nearby available stations and to add a free extra 15 minutes to your trip. The Spartanburg BCycle website BCycle mobile application for iPhone and Android provides a map of all BCycle stations in each system with real-time information about the availability of bikes.
BCycle is designed for shorter trips and letting other members and pass holders use the bikes when you do not need one. By checking the bike back in when you are not riding it, you avoid usage fees, don't have to worry about locking the bike, and allow others to use the bike. To avoid usage fees and continue riding, you can check a bike in at any BCycle Station and check another bike out for no additional fee.
The Spartanburg BCycle website and BCycle Now app provide a map of all BCycle stations in Spartanburg. All BCycle stations have a BCycle Station location map.

For reference, I have virgin Asian hair. I don't use any styling products and rarely use heat. I didn't notice any difference in hair health, growth, or shine after switching to this shampoo. I used it in conjunction with the Mane 'N Tail conditioner at first, but also started rotating other conditioners (Dove, random samples) when I found the matching pair didn't work as well I would want. However, it is a reasonably priced low-fragrance no-frills shampoo which suits my needs. It goes on sale frequently at Sally's too.
Overall, it's a regular shampoo. I may repurchase again if nothing new catches my eye.

I washed my hair with this shampoo last night for the first time and it's awesome!
I don't know how much it was, as I wasn't the one that bought it, so I can't comment on the price, but the quality of the shampoo is great. It smells great when you wash and there is no smell after you dry it. My hair is silky and manegeable, and I got about 5 compliments at work today.
I started using biotin because I was losing my hair due to a medication I was on, but it made me very sleepy and super tired all day. A friend got this shampoo for me and I can't wait to see if it will really help with growth also, so no more biotin for me!
I highly recommend this

This is a very good shampoo, especially if you have oily hair! I have pretty medium-thick, LONG, wavy hair and when I use this it makes it even MORE volumized! It does tend to get a little drying, so I'd recommend having another shampoo (possibly sulfate free or a cleansing shampoo) to get rid of any build up. I have really oily, color-treated hair that I can only go about a day inbetween washes, but I noticed that I can go an extra day or 2 without washing my hair if I use this.
Your hair may seem a bit "waxy" or "stiff" after you get out of the shower, but when your hair dries it is so soft and beautiful! Plus, the conditioner is my most favorite of all time! The only downside is that it's not as "thick" and creamy like most conditioners. It's actually very light and slightly "watery". Both the shampoo and conditioner don't really have that "flowery" or "fruity" smell. It's just a plain out shampoo smell I guess lol
Btw you can find this in the pet shampoo isle or Sally's! Haha, strange right? But it's so worth the try! I definitely recommend!

Overall, I would give this product a 4. Its very good on dry hair and gives your hair a more natural wave pattern. The only down side is the build up. But it is a great affordable product to use. It also thickened my used to be thin hair. This is my 2nd time using it, and its awesome!

it makes my hair super shiny and soft, but has a lot of build up. not much lather either. I'm not sure about growth as I've only used the product 3 times every other day. I started on feb 1, so I'll post an update at the end of this month

I purchased this after reading all the great reviews online. It cleans my hair, in fact I think it cleans it too much. My hair was really dry after using it. I didnt get hair growth, as some reviews online claim. Nor did I get shine, or softness. Just dry hair and scalp.
I won't be repurchasing. This may work better for people with oily hair/scalp.

I had high hopes for this shampoo, because I've read on numerous blogs that this was supposed to make your hair appear healthier as well as grow thicker etc. While none of this happened for me, it was a fairly good shampoo regardless in terms of cleaning etc. Nothing special but at least it didn't cause my scalp to flake, and it smelled fairly nice.

I love this shampoo! It really cleans out my hair! I only need to use a small amount on my armpit-length hair in order to clean it. I use it after doing an oil treatment, and it cleans all of the oil out of my hair beautifully! I do coconut oil treatments about 2-3 times a week, (sounds like a bit much, I know, but my hair loves it!) I massage it throughly into my scalp for about 1-2 minutes every time I shower, and all of the coconut oil is out of my hair just like that! I used to always get oil residue left behind with other shampoos!
Since using the shampoo and conditioner, my hair has been much more manageable. The only issues I have is that it may be leaving build-up in my hair. I have very hard water though, so I'm not too sure that it is the mane n tail causing the gunky-ness. I clarify every two weeks anyway.
My hair has also been getting a lot thicker since I started using it. I am also taking biotin right now, so that also helps, but I do think that mane n tail contributed to making my hair thicker. I don't know if it has made my hair grow faster, but it definitely makes my brittle, curly hair stronger. Although I still get split ends, they definitely don't get as bad as when I first started using it.
I will update this review if I notice anything else about this shampoo!

Power dissipation of a CMOS circuit such as a microprocessor is reduced by dynamically slowing down the microprocessor clock during selected system operations such as hold, wait, or AT peripheral bus access cycles. The microprocessor clock is slowed to its minimum allowable frequency with precise synchronous control to maintain the accuracy of high frequency clock edges and to prevent glitches or substandard pulse widths.
1. A clock circuit for use in providing a clock signal to a logic circuit, said clock circuit comprising:
means for generating a first clock signal suitable for driving the logic circuit;
means for generating a second clock signal suitable for driving the logic circuit, said second clock signal having a frequency lower than that of said first clock signal;
multiplexer means having at least two input leads, a first of said input leads for receiving said first clock signal and a second input lead for receiving said second clock signal responsive to a control signal, for selecting either said first clock signal or said second clock signal for transmission to said logic circuit to drive said logic circuit;
an output lead connected to said multiplexer means;
means for controlling the state of said multiplexer means to transmit to said output lead said first clock signal in the absence of said control signal and said second clock signal in the presence of said control signal;

a first logic gate capable of receiving a plurality of input signals, said first logic gate producing a output signal having a first state in response to any one of said plurality of input signals indicating that the second clock signal should be utilized; and
means responsive to said output signal having a first state for providing said second clock signal to said logic circuit in response to any one of said plurality of control signals indicating that the second clock signal should be utilized.
2. Structure as in claim 1 wherein said means for providing comprises:
a first flip-flop including an input lead for receiving said first clock signal and an output lead for transmitting a replica of said first clock signal to the first input lead of said multiplexer;
a second flip-flop including an input lead for receiving said second clock signal and an output lead for transmitting a replica of said second clock signal to the second input lead of said multiplexer;
a third flip-flop including an input lead for receiving said output signal having a first state from said logic gate and an output lead for transmitting a control signal derived from said output signal having a first state to the select input of said multiplexer; and
a source of a clock signal, said clock signal being used to clock said first flip-flop, said second flip-flop and said third flip-flop to generate on the output lead from each of the three flip-flops a replica of the signal on the input lead to each of the three flip-flops.
3. Structure as in claim 2, including means for transmitting the output signal from said multiplexer to the output lead from said timing circuit in a manner synchronized with said clock signal.
4. Structure as in claim 3 wherein said means for transmitting the output signal from said multiplexer to the logic circuit in a manner synchronized with said clock signal comprises:
an AND gate having a first input lead connected to the output lead from said multiplexer;
a second input lead connected to receive said clock signal; and
an output lead upon which the signal from said multiplexer is transmitted to said logic circuit when the clock signal and the signal on the output lead from the multiplexer are both in a selected state.
This invention relates to CMOS logic and memory circuits and in particular to such circuits used in microprocessors or the like which operate at low power but high frequency and to a method or methods of operating such circuits at low power and high effective frequency.
In many high performance microprocessor-based computer systems, the computer system clock speed is usually much faster than various system cycle times, such as hold cycles, and memory cycles. This is especially a problem with a computer system architecture such as that of the IBM PC-AT for instance when it accesses the relatively slow peripheral bus. (Such accesses are referred to herein as "AT cycles.") During such relatively slow cycle types, the CPU (the microprocessor) has conventionally been held in a wait state with the CPU clock still operating at the same (high) speed. The problem with this is that in CMOS circuits (such as a microprocessor), power dissipation is directly proportional to the clock frequency. Thereby this mode of operation wastes precious power (particularly in battery operated computer systems) to keep the CPU running at full speed while the CPU is being held in a wait state, since the CPU clocking performs no useful function at this time. A CPU such as the Intel 486 microprocessor dissipates approximately 4 watts of power at 33 MHz operating frequency.
To reduce this power dissipation, the present invention dynamically slows down the CPU clock during selected operations such as HLDA (hold), CPUWAIT (wait), and ATCYCLE (selected IBM PC-AT cycles). The CPU clock is slowed to its minimum allowable frequency with precise synchronous control to maintain the accuracy of high frequency clock edges and to prevent glitches or substandard pulse widths. For example, during an ATCYCLE, if the CPU clock is dynamically slowed to 2 MHz, the result is a reduction in power dissipation to 1/4 watt from the 4 watts at 33 MHz. This dynamic slowing of the CPU clock significantly reduces the overall average power dissipation without reducing system performance. This power savings in turn significantly reduces system heat generation and increases battery and system life. This invention will be more fully understood in conjunction with the following detailed description, taken together with the drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates the circuitry of this invention to reduce the frequency of operation of a CMOS circuit such as a microprocessor during certain operations.
FIG. 2 illustrates the waveforms associated with the operation of the circuit shown in FIG. 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention comprises three negative edge triggered D flip-flop's (DFF's), 11, 12, and 13. All three D flip-flops 11, 12 and 13 are clocked by the same clock signal CK2X on lead 35. The data input D of the first D flip-flop 11 is connected to input terminal 30 on which a control signal CKFAST is transmitted to flip-flop 11. Signal CKFAST (shown in FIG. 2) is a pulse enable control signal that will be high for twice the width of the CK2X positive pulse (also shown in FIG. 2) and will overextend both ends of every other pulse in the CK2X signal to prevent glitching or pulse width distortion when the two signals (CKFAST and CK2X) are logically AND'd together.
The data input terminal D of the second D flip-flop 12 is connected to an input terminal 31 which carries the signal CKSLOW. Signal CKSLOW (also shown in FIG. 2) is another pulse enable control signal similar to CKFAST except that CKSLOW will have many fewer enable pulses than CKFAST. The data input terminal D of the third D flip-flop 13 is connected to the output terminal 38 of OR gate 16. D flip-flop 13 selects (via multiplexer 14) the fast versus the slow clock signals on leads 30 and 31 respectively for use in driving the microprocessor system.
The output signals from D flip-flops 11 and 12 are transmitted on leads 36 and 37 to inputs A and B, respectively, of multiplexer 14. Multiplexer 14 is set by a signal on output lead 40 from D flip-flop 13. When the signal on lead 40 from D flip-flop 13 is high (as shown in FIG. 2) then multiplexer 14 transmits the slow clock signal on output terminal 37 from D flip-flop 12 to the B input terminal of multiplexer 14 and transmits the pulse 41-3 on the output terminal 41 as part of the CLKOUT signal. When the output signal from D flip-flop 13 is low, then the signal on output terminal 36 from D flip-flop 11 (which corresponds in frequency to the CKFAST signal on input lead 30 is transmitted on lead 36 through input terminal A of multiplexer 14 to output terminal 39 of multiplexer 14. This signal then is transmitted through AND gate 15 when the signal CK2X on lead 35, which is connected to the B input lead of AND gate 15, is high, thus creating on output lead 41 a high frequency CLKOUT signal represented by pulses 41-1, 41-2, 41-5 and 41-6 as shown in FIG. 2. Note that, in this example, the frequency of CLKOUT during the low output signal on lead 40 from D flip-flop 13 is one-half the frequency of the clock signal CK2X on lead 35. It should also be noted, however, that "CLKOUT" could be made equal to the CK2X frequency simply by keeping "CKFAST" high rather than toggling it.
All three D flip-flops 11, 12 and 13 are clocked on the low-going edge of the input clock signal CK2X. Consequently, the CLKOUT signal on terminal 41 will be held low for the next half cycle of signal CK2X such that any propagation delays through the D flip-flops 11, 12 and 13 and MUX 14 Will be settled out on terminal 39 before CK2X returns high. This ensures the consistent accuracy of the CLKOUT pulse width on output terminal 41 even while the CLKOUT signal on terminal 41 is dynamically switching back and forth between the slow and fast frequencies.
The circuit in FIG. 1 also includes a three input OR gate 16. The three input leads 32, 33 and 34 of OR gate 16 carry the control signals ATCYCLE, HLDA and CPUWAIT, respectively, each of which indicate that the CPU is in a slow cycle such that the CPU clock signal CLKOUT can be slowed down without degrading overall speed of performance of an instruction but at the same time saving significant power.
When the signals on all three input leads 32, 33 and 34 are low, the output signal on output terminal 38 of OR gate 16 is low and therefore the output signal on output terminal 39 of multiplexer 14 will be the same frequency as the signal on output lead 36 of D flip-flop 11, which is at the same frequency as the fast clock signal CKFAST 30.
When any of the three input signals on leads 32, 33 and 34 are high, the output signal from OR gate 16 on lead 38 goes high, thereby causing the output signal on terminal 40 from D flip-flop 13 to go high on the low-going edge of the next clock pulse generated by clock signal CK2X on lead 35. The high signal on lead 40 from D flip-flop 13 activates multiplexer 14 to transmit the input signal on lead 37 connected to the B input of multiplexer 14 to output terminal 39 from multiplexer 14. The signal on lead 39 will be the same as the signal on lead 37 connected to the output lead from the D flip-flop 12, and which selects the slow clock signal CKSLOW for transmission to output lead 41.
The circuit also uses a two input AND gate 15. The output signal of the multiplexer 14 on lead 39, which is effectively a pulse-by-pulse enable, is AND'd with the clock signal CK2X on lead 35, to select or deselect each positive pulse of the CK2X input. The selected pulses are transmitted on output lead 41 as output signal CLKOUT which is used to drive the microprocessor (CPU) or appropriate logic circuit.
While the signals CKFAST and CKSLOW are generated in a well-known manner using standard clock generating circuits, these signals can be generated either on the CPU chip itself or on other integrated circuit chips used with the CPU. While the signals ACTCYCLE, HLDA and CPUWAIT are shown as instituting the use of the slow clock signal to drive the CPU or other logic circuit, of course other signals or events could also be used to generate a slow clock output signal as appropriate. The minimum frequency of the slow clock output signal CKSLOW is controlled only by the minimum frequency at which the CPU can be operated so as to not lose information or encounter timing problems and glitches. Naturally, to the extent the logic circuitry requires refresh, the minimum frequency of the circuitry must be such as to enable the circuit to be refreshed sufficiently often to prevent the loss of information.
The operation of the clock slowing circuit described in FIG. 1 in conjunction with the wave forms of FIG. 2 is unique at least in that the output signal during either the fast or slow clock phase of operation is synchronized to the overall system clock denoted CK2X on lead 35. Thus, even though the system is switching from high speed to low speed in a random manner, depending upon the presence of one or more control signals on input leads 32, 33 or 34 to OR gate 16, the clock signal CK2X on lead 35, together with D flip-flops 11, 12 and 13 effectively synchronizes the transmission of the fast and slow clock signals on leads 30 and 31, respectively, to the output lead 39 from multiplexer 14. In addition, clock signal CK2X on lead 35 synchronizes the passage of the signal on lead 39 through AND gate 15 to the output lead 41. Accordingly, any delay in the arrival of the signal due to settling time or other system glitches is compensated for. Note that the "CLKOUT" signal can range in frequency from that equal to the "CK2X" input clock all the way down to a completely static condition (stopped).
In a typical application, the circuit of FIG. 1 would be included in a chipset which interfaces to the clock terminal of the microprocessor.
While this invention has been described in conjunction with one embodiment, other embodiments of this invention will be obvious to those skilled in the art.

- Comments and insights on the name Molly: | Edit
Molly is a beautiful name!
Molly is my favorite name and #1 on the list for a girl!
My daughter is named Molly, I love the name and chose it because her older brother was Morgan and sister was Megan and I had to have a M name for this special baby. It suits her to a T. She is cute and spunky and smart and beautiful. She was born in 1989 and is now 25. I knew several Molly's when I was pregnant and quizzed them about their name, if the liked it etc. each loved her name. I think it is friendly, easy to pronounce and grows with age. I also prefer Molly to Mollie. I have heard it as a dogs name... I prefer the human Molly's. My Molly is Molly Miranda M------. so she is 3-M
Being named Molly, as a teenager in 2014, has its flaws. For one thing, I'm teased all the time for having "a drug named after me,". But other than that, it's okay.
- Personal experiences with the name Molly: | Edit
I've been a Molly for nearly 40 years now and I love it. When giving strangers my name (filling in forms etc) people so often comment on what a lovely name I have. It's familiar and easy to spell (although I *hate* Mollie). It's versatile: it can sound smart and professional or relaxed and comfortable. Easy to live with and I've never regretted it once, even though my mom did find it on a grave stone!
My name is Molly. Growing up, I was the only Molly I knew. There were no dogs named Molly back then. My name is a "nick name" for Mary. I did not really like my name growing up as it was so unusual. I love my name now. I think of it as a warm friendly open type of name.
I named my daughter Molly, and I'd say that William Gibson's Molly plus Molly Ivins were important influences in making the name seem more smart, tough, sophisticated and adult. The name needs a nudge in this direction, IMO, because it otherwise risks being too cute, friendly, and naive-sounding. I paired it with a big, imposing middle name with family significance: she's Molly Mehitabel or occasionally Molly-bel.
I love names like Ruby, Hazel and Olive, and had always expected to use them for my kids. But these names had become stereotypical hipster baby names by the time I had my daughter, which pushed me toward the more "normal" old fashioned name of Molly.
I named my daughter Molly. Someone called her "Molly-Boo" once when she was a baby and seven years later we still call her Molly-Boo.
My daughters name is Molly as well. I absolutely love it but she hates it with a passion! She has heard of so many dogs named molly she tells me i gave her a dogs name..:(
LOL I absolutely agree about the dogs name..My Molly (9) asks why there are no other people called Molly just dogs... She has a brother and 3 sisters Jett, Ella, Willow, Allani

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 4/14/12
I think everyone can remember the madness last year when Warren Sapp implied that the Pittsburgh Steelers were too old to be considered an elite team. The Steelers did a great job of proving Sapp wrong both with the teams' overall on field performance and the way that the younger backups stepped up thru injuries. So just as the offseason passes us steadily by and we almost have that negative implication out of our minds, it pops back up. I was reading a power ranking on NFL.com and was maligned to find that they had the Steelers listed as the 13th ranked team. Not bad for a 12-4 team that has lost Read more [...]

Operating Hours & Seasons
When to Visit
We have multiple Visitor Centers and Ranger Stations in the park:
All of our visitor centers are open during the summer, but each of them have different operating hours. Please visit our Visitor Centers webpage for specific days, hours, and seasons that the visitor centers are open.
Kennecott: The best season to visit Kennecott is during the summer, specifically between Memorial Day and Labor Day. During the winter there are no services or amenities, and assistance is not readily available. The McCarthy Road is open and maintained year-round by the State of Alaska, but if you choose to drive this road during the winter you should be prepared for extremely poor road conditions including snow, ice, slush, deep ruts, and mud. Once you reach the end of the McCarthy Road, it is not possible to drive to Kennecott, which is five miles further. During the summer there are shuttles, but during the winter there are no shuttles running between the end of the McCarthy Road and Kennecott. This means that the only way to Kennecott is by foot, cross-country skiing, snowshowing, or snowmachine. There are no outfitters open in the winter that will rent this gear to you.
Park Headquarters & Administration: The park administration building in Copper Center is open Monday-Friday, year-round from 8:00am - 4:30pm. We are closed on weekends and federal holidays.

Dance first, think later." ~Samuel Beckett
What to say? I am laid back, but do have an edge and sophistication that keeps things interesting. I believe it's all about paradox. Though I am ambitious, I've learned to be comfortable in my own skin. I understand what's going on internally is more important than externally, but that is easier said than done. I do my best to treat people the same (with respect). Traveling to a lot of third world countries puts things into perspective very quickly. So, yes, "Kindness is my religion."- Dalai Lama. I have been told I have a "je ne sais quoi" about me...silent waters run deep, which might be a good thing, depends on your perspective. ;-) I love cooking, big red wines, and sharing it all with great company. Reading a good book is one of life's joys, too. Dogs and wildlife/nature conservation are a deep passion. Let's just say I am a man on a mission... More later. I love my sports i.e. Pittsburgh football, Penguins hockey and exercise regularly at the gym or on the tennis court. Physically, I like being in shape and meeting someone who wants the same is really important. Spiritually speaking, yoga, doses of Eckhart Tolle, and meditation help keep me sane. As a social entrepreneur and designer, I like to be open to art in all its myriad forms. Love music and always listening to something, and am actually learning bass guitar. From Miles Davis, Manu Chao to The Black Keys, too many genres and bands to list. I'm game for a nice restaurant or dive bar, though having good laughs, deep conversation and more with my partner are what matter. What am I looking for? A beautiful, fun, spontaneous and fit lady who is down to earth and is comfortable within herself. I can match that. Oh yeah, I believe that dreams do come true, too.
Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Playing sports , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

That feeling after you've exercised your butt off, muscles sore and tired, and there's nothing left to do the rest of the day. Dinner parties w/friends, Pens/Steelers games. Buzz of a great city, energy of an African campfire with elephants nearby.
Good restaurants, tennis @ the beach, wine tasting (try Prisoner Zin), sweaty yoga classes, movies, cooking an amazing meal and sharing it w/friends. Road trips to wine country and traveling whenever possible.
Psycho-Cybernetics....sounds creepy. It's a self-help book that has become my bible recently.
