Yesterday the news broke that Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are sort of taking a vacation from the current activities in Gotham City. They're actually not going far as they're moving the title into the past. BATMAN: ZERO YEAR is set to go back to before Bruce Wayne became Batman. We got a taste of that in BATMAN #0.
What does "Zero Year" really mean? Will the story completely take place in the past? What villains might we expect? We asked Scott these questions and more.
Comic Vine: Is this going to follow the events of BATMAN #0 from last September?
Scott Snyder: Yes. That issue really does provide a small window into probably what might be the quietest section of the story.
CV: Will BATMAN #21 pick up immediately where the cliffhanger left off?
SS: No, it won't. Issue zero kind of was a tiny glimpse into the beginnings of the story in some ways. I wanted to give you...I guess it's sort of like a trailer with the stuff we felt okay showing you from it.
CV: What made you decide to move away from the present and journey into Bruce's past?
SS: For me, it's something I've always wanted to explore. I really felt like there was a period in Bruce's life, especially given the continuity in the New 52 that's been unexplored in terms of whether or not he operated in secret, whether or not the legend of Batman existed before he came out publicly. I really felt there was an area, that transformative period in his life, that just wasn't explored.
For me, more importantly, it's really a matter of trying to tell the stories that matter the most to you. The Bruce that we've been using, our Bruce and the Bruce you see in the New 52, has things and moments in his past, in my mind, we haven't shown you yet. They're really really important and key. I wanted to do a story that was where we explore his transformative years but do it in a way you haven't seen before. I promise you, it's nothing like YEAR ONE. It's nothing like Batman Begins.
It's really its own thing that's meant to be something that you open and you see that from page one. We wouldn't want to retread anything that has been done before, that's been done much better than we could ever do. You know, I can't redo YEAR ONE. I can't make YEAR ONE better than YEAR ONE. It's a masterpiece you can't touch. But I do think that one of the things that was interesting to me was exploring this period in Bruce's life in a way you've never seen before.
CV: The story was announced as taking place over eleven issues. Does that mean you sort of have it all mapped out already? You're not going to need ten issues or twelve?
SS: Yeah, I hope so. You never know. Maybe I'll get there and be like, you know what? "This massive crazy climax needs ten more pages, Greg, what do you think?"
Honestly, eleven issues is pretty much where we've mapped it out to be. I'm really excited about the scope of it.
CV: Is this the Riddler story you've been teasing since NYCC?
SS: No, I can't say. Honestly, I really want it to be a surprise who the villain is in this. It might be someone established. It might be someone brand new. This is one of the few times I really don't want to give any spoilers at all. I want you to open the book and judge it on its own merit. I completely understand the nervousness, the excitement, anger, fear and all the emotion that comes with opening up a book that revisits Batman's formative years.
We're all so excited and proud of it, I just want you to judge it on its own. I don't want to prime you with "Guess what's coming!" I would love to just know what you think of it without me hyping it to you beyond just saying...one thing I can tell you is that you haven't seen Bruce's early years done like this.
CV: So I guess you won't tell us if there will there be other familiar rogues?
SS: No, I just don't want to tell you. This one time, I just want to play it really close to the vest and say, "Just open the book and see what you think." Again, I know what the expectations, the fears and all that stuff are around Batman's early years stories. I'd love for you to just judge it on its own without me trying to sell it to you or anything like that.
CV: Is DC going to try to "sell it"?
SS: I don't know. I have no idea.
CV: I guess we'll see what gets announced.
Will the entire story take place in this time or will there be any flash-forwards?
SS: I'm not trying to be coy, dude. I just want to give anything away about what happens or how it's structured or any of that stuff except to say, the closest thing to a spoiler I'll give is you're going to learn more about the history of the Wayne and the Kane families. Again, you haven't seen these years done this way before
CV: So we won't see Bruce dressed as Batman? Or you can't answer that either?
SS: I'll venture to say that I'm not going to keep him out of costume for eleven issues. That I'll tell you. There's a spoiler for you, I promise you'll definitely see Batman in this story.
CV: Are you concerned about being separated from the rest of the Bat-universe for almost a year?
SS: Yeah, I'm concerned about it. I definitely feel like those guys are my family and yeah, I'm nervous about being in the past. I talked to editorial and I talked to my friends like Jeff Lemire and James and the other guys about it and said, "What do you think?"
The conclusion I really came to Tony, and everyone out there reading Comic Vine, is just that this is a story that really matters a lot to me. If you're going to be on BATMAN, you might as well take the risks and just do the stories that you want to do, that you love. You have to trust that if you love a character enough, in the DNA of the Batman you write, fans will follow you and agree. Otherwise, what the hell's the point? Do you know what I mean? What am I going to do, stay in the present and do stories that I like but matter less to me than this one? Or go back and do a story that I think is maybe the best thing we've done on BATMAN so far. It could be the thing we're proudest of. Or do I avoid it just out of fear that sales will go down or for fear that we'll be in the past and everyone else will be in the present? You have to take those risks if you're going to do stuff that matters to you, personally.
This isn't some gimmick. This is really the story I want to tell. DC's been really generous about letting me do it. I hope you guys will follow us through it because it matters a tremendous amount to us.
CV: You know I'm really excited about the past, seeing what has happened or hasn't happeed. What do you think will be your greatest challenge in this?
SS: Honestly I think the greatest challenge with it is...at the end of the day, for me as a writer, a lot of the time it's just believing in yourself. Believing that if you love Batman enough and you have a story you believe in enough, you should do that story as opposed to playing it safe. I struggle with that all the time. So everybody out there, that's the truth. There's a lot of sleepless nights about should I do this earlier story that people might hate me because I'm going back to his transformative years or should I do a two-part Poison Ivy story or a three-part Mr. Freeze story that I know is safer. Or should I do something that I like but love less? At the end of the day, the challenge is to try and be bold. I take my example from that, from writers like Grant Morrison, Frank Miller and the guys you look up to that you know you mihgt not ever be as good as. But at least you can try to be as fearless as they are in some ways. You might fall on your face but at least you tried. That's what I'm trying to do here.
And to readers, I really want to make it clear, this is not an attempt to rewrite YEAR ONE. No one loves YEAR ONE more than me. I brought back James Jr, you know what I'm saying? YEAR ONE is sacred to me. There's no touching the hem of that book.
But in the New 52, that continuity doesn't track anymore. James would be six-years-old. Jim has a daughter, Barbara. Selina Kyle has a different origin. The Falcone Family has a different history. None of it tracks. Instead of trying to play Frankenstein and be like,"Which pieces of it can I save?" For me personally, I've tried to keep as much of Batman's history in tact as possible, and you guys know that. At some point you have to be able to say, "You know what? It's time for a new story that examines that," if you have one that you believe in. Not one that is respectful and tries to build on the stuff you want to keep from a story like that but isn't beholden to the past. One that tries to do something you haven't seen before.
That's really what this is an attempt to do. It's an attempt to give you something you haven't seen before about Bruce's transformative years while being respectful and keeping in tact the things we love the most about those things that are possible without being beholden to them in a way that hobbles the possibility of a story like this.
CV: And we are going to see him working on the Batcave and all that?
SS: Yeah! One of the things I've pointed out, in continuity, one of the things I love about YEAR ONE is it's a relationship story about Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne. I've actually argued that it's more about Jim Gordon than it is about Bruce Wayne. There's a lot that isn't explore even in that. For example, how he built the Batcave. Did he float things down the river into the cave itself? What was his first Batmobile? All those sort of fun things that actually matter to the history of the Wayne Family and his legacy. Those are things we're going to explore, the fun stuff but also the dark and interesting stuff about why Bruce does what he does.
I thing I can promise you is you're not going to see anything you've seen before. At the same time, I want you to understand that the things you love, the core of Batman and the stuff about his origin that matters to you, we care about that stuff the same way. We're not going to try to change and make you upset. Just know that we love this character more than anything in the world. We just want to let you open the book and see what you think.
CV: My daughter had a question. I think she's getting this from TINY TITANS. She wanted to know if you could address the rumor of penguins being in the Batcave.
SS: You can tell her I will try to stick in some sort of penguin symbolism or something somewhere as a tribute but I can't promise. I will do my best to stick a penguin somewhere in the Batcave at some point for her.

Class loading and permissions
As I read it in the specs applications are prohibited from creating their own class loader instance to load classes. I've based this on the MHP spec indicating that neither signed nor unsigned applications will be given the java permission RuntimePermission granted.
However currently it seems that creating a custom class loader is permitted on the RI. We've also testing this on other platforms and had some success. However others do not seem to allow it.
What is the expected behavior here and what should the RI be doing in this case? Is there potentially a case of miss-configuration or something to that affect that is causing the RI to allow this functionality?
I ran the test code that you provided and it threw a SecurityException as expected. OCAP Permission checks are enabled by default, so I can't think of any reason right now why this would be succeeding for them. Perhaps you can copy their signalling file here so I can see that?
OK -- I see what is going on here.
The stack has a back door for Host Device Manufacturer Applications (HDMA) that grants them all permissions when their AppID is greater than 0x7000. This is a back door that I believe needs to be closed. I have created an internal project issue to track this.
In the meantime, tell your colleagues to lower the AppID to something between 0x6000 and 0x6fff and they will begin to see the exception. The other option (and perhaps more recommended) is to not treat your apps as HDMAs because I believe that it is not your intention. The spec has some very different rules about how HDMAs should be handled. Instead use "xait.properties" and modify your mpeenv.ini file to make sure that you are using the file-based signalling and NOT ignoring XAITs:
Refer to this Wiki page for more information on file-based signalling:
I agree that OCAP does not provide any conditions under which an application can be granted RuntimePermissions("createClassLoader").
Can you post some example code? I wrote a simple test Xlet that created its own ClassLoaders that derived from java.lang.ClassLoader and java.security.SecureClassLoader. Both of these threw SecurityExceptions upon construction as I would expect.
MHP provides the org.dvb.lang.DVBClassLoader class to allow very limited access to custom class loading. The constructors of DVBClassLoader will throw SecurityExceptions just like expected. However DVBClassLoader.getInstance() will not throw SecurityException and can be used safely by OCAP apps to load classes from custom URLs. All loaded classes will go through all appropriate authentication and security procedures as indicated by the calling app.
I'll send you a sample xlet. I'd attach it here, but I don't see that option.
I also just checked that they guys that tried this were using the default mpeenv.ini settings.

Re: Accelero XTREME Plus for GTX 480
Good news, everyone!
You are now reading this in my voice!
It turns out that the thermal adhesive has a tendency to stick to the metal of the heatsinks when you pry them off, rather than the plastic on the board itself, which makes for a very clean removal. For the parts that stick to the board, run over the IC's with some 99% isopropyl alcohol using a cotton pad, let it soak in, and use a toothpick to remove whatever is left. A toothpick is small enough to remove things precisely, hard enough to remove the thermal adhesive, but soft enough not to scratch the IC's or the board. Mine came off almost completely clean.
Good overclocking, Nvnews!

I've been doing a couple of BI discussions lately, and I used a term that I thought was more widely spread - the "clicks" paradigm. It has to do with the way data is pushed out to users - whether that is based on OLAP or OLTP data.
A "three click" setup is a tool that users are trained on to select data objects and do ad-hoc queries. There are normally only a few users at this level.
A "two click" setup is a standard reports (web or otherwise) that has static selections to show various slices of data. Most managers live here.
A "one click" setup is a static report that shows the results of a query - most company users live here.
And there's even a "zero click" setup, which is "data that finds you". It's a report or some other output mailed to you or sent to your mobile device.
So have you heard of these terms before?
Can I make a request? Please could you supply the entirety of each blog post in your feed? I'm afraid I'm rather lazy and don't have the inclination to read blogs outside of my blog reader.
Jamie Thomson
Hi Buck,
ditto to Jamie's request. Yours is the only blog I follow which doesn't expose entire posts through rss.
I would LOVE to do that. I have two settings for this blog: "Allow RSS Feeds" and "Allow ATOM Feeds". Both are checked. I have no way to control this behavior - if anyone has any pointers on this blogging site software (Community Server is the name of it) I'll take them.
- Buck
Hey Buck,
You might want to check with the CSS Team or SQL Server Express team. Their blogs are also on blogs.msdn.com and their posts are shown in their entirety in the feed.
I've never heard of the "Clicks" paradigm but it does make a lot of sense!
Saggi - thanks for the tip! I actually have already done that, and they said "we didn't do anything special". I've even pinged the folks that own the software, but they don't reply back.
Thanks anyway -
No, but I like the idea. Not sure mgmt is going to like being called '1-clickers', they might consider it akin to 'paste eaters'. :)
I've been in BI for many years in multi-vendor environments and have never run across the "Clicks paradigm" until today.
I did a search and found your blog. Thanks for the clear definition!

So it's a very important part of the process to get the feedback. Some of it's oral, some times you walk down the hall to try to say, and you get a memo from someone and you don't quite understand it. You certainly will walk down the hall and say, 'I don't quite get it. What are you trying to say here or what am I missing?'
Other times, you pick up the phone. So there's a lot of exchanging that goes on.
CRAWFORD GREENBURG: Some of your colleagues have suggested that you've loosened things up a bit. There's more discussion in conference, even on the bench you don't cut the lawyers off as quickly as your predecessor did. How do you see yourself as different than Chief Justice Rehnquist?
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Well, I don't know if that's true or not that it's looser in that respect. I hope I have a little bit of sympathy for the lawyers arguing in front of the court, since it wasn't too long ago that I was trying to make a living doing that, and it's very difficult.
The arguments are quite—anyone who hasn't been to an argument really should. It's a good show and it's very tough on the lawyers, because you get a lot of questions and they're all on different subjects. Just because justice so-and-so is focused on the jurisdictional issue doesn't mean the next question isn't going to be from a different justice on an entirely different question, and the lawyer's got to be able to respond effectively to all of that.
And, you know, it's no secret we're communicating with each other through the lawyers. It's quite common for a lawyer to get a question and before the lawyer can answer, another justice to pop in, "Well, isn't the answer to that this."
CRAWFORD GREENBURG: Justice Scalia does that. And Justice Souter does it.
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Well, they all do and the other justice will say, "Well, if you answer that, then you'd have to say, well, what's the answer to this." And before the lawyer can say, the other justice will pop in again.
You know, you feel like you're at Wimbledon or something, just watching the back and forth. But it's an exciting exchange, but we do get a lot out of it, particularly if the lawyers are good and I think we're very fortunate these days. We have a very good Supreme Court bar that, by and large, is quite helpful in moving us along in the decisional process.
CRAWFORD GREENBURG: So how are you different than Chief Justice Rehnquist? How do you think you'll be different as a justice and as chief?
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: You know it's hard for me to say, primarily because I can't look ahead and see what I will be like. It's a continual educational process. I hope I will be a better chief justice my second year than I was my first year. You learn things. You learn that certain approaches might work and might not work and I'll hopefully get better at it as I go on. So it's hard for me to tell. And I think Chief Justice Rehnquist changed, as well. Certainly, he was doing things differently toward the end of his time on the court than he was before.
CRAWFORD GREENBURG: What's an example?
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Well, he moved from being an associate justice to the chief justice and I think, as a chief justice, he appreciated that he had some responsibilities to try to deal with the court as a court, a responsibility that he might not have felt as directly when he was an associate justice. I think that comes with the territory.

evidence does play a role at key junctures in community change processes. In planning, evidence is used to determine what has worked elsewhere. It improves programs as they are under way, and can be a vital tool for influencing policy change and decision makers. At the same time, however, Solomon stressed the importance of recognizing that different audiences and different kinds of decisions require different levels of evidence.
For instance, community groups find useful many tools that do not adhere to accepted cross-experimental design; an example is PhotoVoice, in which community members document their experience and viewpoints through photography. In contrast, the Congressional Budget Office is debating the kinds of evidence it needs to generate what have been termed "scorable savings" for prevention. As highlighted in the workshop, policy makers draw on different levels of evidence depending on the issue under consideration and the myriad of other issues competing for resources and attention. Solomon urged the IOM, as well as workshop participants, to play a role in determining what constitutes evidence to support change.
"It is really important for us to hold to the fact that different audiences and different kinds of decisions require different levels of evidence."
—Loel Solomon
This report follows the organization of the workshop. Chapter 5 summarizes the presentations of community-based representatives and the discussion that followed. Chapters 6 and 7 highlight the presentations of nonprofit organizations and policy makers and ensuing discussions, respectively. Chapter 8 summarizes the closing remarks of representatives of two foundations that have supported many community-level programs. It should be noted that consensus recommendations were not sought during the course of the workshop, and thus are not presented in this report.

Miramar, Florida-based Spirit Airlines has come to a tentative agreement on a five-year contract with its flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA).
The agreement, reached following assistance by the National Mediation Board, will be put to a vote by the flight attendants, expected to be in the fourth quarter.
"We're very pleased to have agreed on a tentative agreement that recognizes the contributions of our flight attendants, who play a key role in providing safe, reliable, friendly service to our customers," says John Bendoraitis, Spirit's chief operating officer.
AFA represents almost 1,400 flight attendants at the airline.
"The outstanding contributions by Spirit flight attendants have been a big part of the success of our airline," says Todd St. Pierre, AFA president at Spirit. "Through the unwavering support of Spirit flight attendants, our union was able to achieve substantial gains. Our voice has been heard."
The airline's flight attendants earlier rejected a tentative agreement in February.

playa blanca, a great area to relax and enjoy all that amazing sun! Great beaches in playa blanca and papagayo beach. There is a lovely marina with bars and restraunts which you can walk to from playa blanca just a short walk along the promenade.
There are local bars and restraunts which sell amazing food in playa blanca and an amazing bakery offering fresh bread, pasta, pizzas, cakes, you must try there. Be more adventurous and go to the back streets where you will find local restraunts and bars with a totally different feel from tourist bars and local dishes and beers at great prices.
There is also Dino & Spar stores with everything you'll need to stock up the fridge with the essentials, plus in playa blanca there is a fresh fruit and vegetable shop just up from bakery again everything you'll need to stock the cupboards up if your planning to stay at home one night.
Playa Blanca
Playa blanca is very quiet and great for a relaxed retreat! You'll find it a wonderfull place and not over the top and in your face as other resorts can be.
The locals are very freindly people and they will help as much as possible to direct you if unsure, prices are very reasonable for food and drink if eating out.
Plenty to see if your on a walking holiday but if you fancy there are plenty of boat trips to keep you entertained in the day but if you just want to sit in the sun then enjoy papagayo beaches which is a short boat taxi away or a short drive in the car.
2 water parks, quad bike hire, scooter hire, speed boat trips, lovely beaches

DALLAS — Much of our area was expected to get a few inches of snow Monday night, and one place the winter weather is hurting: farms.
Frost covered the ground at Darling and Sons Farms and Greenhouses, in Dallas, but inside the houses, it was as balmy as mid-July.
That's where we found Norman Darling, making sure his flowers were in tip-top condition.
"This week we should, like I said, they should be about that long and just starting to see color in the bud," said farm co-owner Norman Darling.
But these lillies are not. Cold temperatures this late in the season and cloudy weather have forced the farm to turn up the heat. Norman said he payed 30% to 40% more in heating costs for the greenhouses than he normally does at this time of year.
"The sun hasn't helped at all. Some things started to stretch. Things are behind," said Darling.
One of Darling's 15 greenhouses on the property was the warmest. It was 72 degrees in. And was where you'd find the Easter lillies that they're hoping would bloom just in time for the holiday.
"We would like to have the houses open with the vents so we can cool things down instead of pushing everything," said Darling.
With the houses 10 degrees warmer than normal, Norman said he relies on fans to push the air. If air doesn't circulate enough, the crops could go bad. With the high heating bills, he needs a successful spring season without bad crops.
"Hopefully everything is going to be sold out," said Darling.
Norman said his biggest concern at this point is really the greenhouses. He said they don't start their outdoor farm work for another few weeks anyway, so vegetables shouldn't be a problem this year as long as it starts to warm up soon.

A wound and flattened extended-foil section containing an electrolyte is encased within a frame of insulating material that is closed on the top and bottom by metallic members electrically insulated and spaced from each other by the frame. One electrode of the section is electrically connected within the frame to one of the metallic members, and the other electrode is electrically connected within the frame to the second metallic member. The metallic members may serve as terminals for the capacitor, or leads may be attached to their external surfaces.
1. A flat electrolytic capacitor comprising a frame of insulating material surrounding a wound and flattened extended aluminum foil capacitor section containing an electrolyte, the edges of a first electrode foil of said section that extend beyond a second electrode foil of said section along one side of said section being welded together in at least one place along said side, the edges of said second electrode foil that extend beyond said first foil on the opposite side of said section being similarly welded, each electrode foil terminating in an electrode tab, one metallic member electrically connected to said first electrode foil through one of said tabs and bonded completely around the upper surface of said frame, and a second metallic member electrically connected to said second electrode foil through the other of said tabs and bonded completely around the bottom surface of said frame, whereby no electrical connection protrudes through the case, said frame separates said metallic members, and the exterior of each said metallic member serves as a terminal for said capacitor.
2. A capacitor according to claim 1 wherein a lead is attached to the external surface of each of said metallic members.
3. A capacitor according to claim 1 wherein said frame is a filled phenolic material.
4. A capacitor according to claim 1 wherein both of said metallic members are copper-clad aluminum.
5. A capacitor according to claim 1 wherein one of said metallic members and insulating means are molded to form an insulating frame around said metallic member and bonded thereto and the other of said metallic members is formed into a shallow can adapted to snugly receive said frame but extending vertically above it, a gasket is positioned about the periphery of said frame adjacent the level of said metallic element bonded thereto, and said vertical extensions of said other metallic member are rolled over said gasket forming an edge seal.
6. A capacitor according to claim 5 wherein said shallow can is formed with a depression in its lower surface corresponding to a depression formed by said edge seal, said gasket, and said frame.
This invention relates to a flat electrolytic capacitor that has a wound and flattened extended foil section containing electrolyte encased between and electrically connected to two metallic members electrically insulated and spaced from each other. More particularly, this invention relates to a flat aluminum capacitor that has low inductance, low equivalent series resistance, and improved volumetric efficiency.
There is increasing need for capacitors in the power supply and computer fields that have low inductance, low equivalent series resistance, and improved packaging density over cylindrical capacitors. It is desirable that such capacitors can be manufactured on a large scale relatively inexpensively in uniform packages which can be connected in series, parallel, or series parallel to provide high energy or high-energy-high voltage packages.
Prior art capacitors that have low-inductance and low equivalent series resistance have not been volumetrically efficient or provided the desired packaging density. Those that have provided good packaging density, e.g., number of capacitors per unit area, have required additional encasement to provide rigidity.
A feature of this invention is the provision of a flat electrolytic capacitor, preferably aluminum, that has low inductance, low impedance, low equivalent series resistance, and high volumetric efficiency. Another feature of this invention is the provision of such a capacitor that can be connected in series, parallel or series-parallel to make high-energy or high energy-high voltages packages.
Still another feature of this invention is to provide a flat capacitor in which the case can serve as terminals, or leads can be attached to the exterior of the case, as no leads or terminals protrude through the casing.
These objects are accomplished by providing a wound and flattened foil section containing an electrolyte. Preferably, the section is an extended foil one that has the extended edges of the anode foil welded together in at least one place and the extended edges of the cathode foil similarly welded together. One of the interwound foils extends lengthwise beyond the other foil winding so that one foil ends on one side of the flattened section and the other foil ends on the other side of the flattened section.
The capacitor section is encased between two metallic members, and one of the electrodes is electrically connected to one of the members and the other electrode, to the second member. The metallic members are spaced from each other by electrical insulating means and individually sealed thereto.
FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of the capacitor of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a cross-section of the capacitor with external leads attached.
FIG. 3 shows a cross-section of a partially assembled top of a second embodiment.
FIG. 4 shows an exploded view of the mating top and bottom case portions of the second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 shows the finished capacitor of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of FIG. 5.
An extended-foil capacitor section 10, as shown in FIG. 1, prepared by winding an anode foil electrode 12 and a cathode foil electrode 13 with interleaved spacer material 11, preferably paper, flattened and impregnated with electrolyte (not shown) is surrounded by a separating and insulating member 20, preferably a frame. The end of the anode foil electrode 12 lies on one side of flattened unit 10 and the end of the cathode foil electrode 13 lies on the other side. Preferably electrode tabs 14 and 15 are attached respectively to the ends of the anode foil electrode 12 and cathode foil electrode 13. The edges of the cathode foil electrode 13 extend from one side of the wound unit and are welded 17 in at least one place along the edge, and the edges of the anode foil electrode 12 extend from the opposite side of the unit and are similarly welded (not shown).
The capacitor section 10 is electrically connected to metallic members 33 and 36 preferably via electrode terminations 14 and 15. The metallic members 33 and 36 correspond in size to that of frame opening and are preferably copper-clad aluminum sheets positioned so that the aluminum side of each faces capacitor section 10, and the electrical connections between capacitor section 10 and the metallic members 33 and 36 are made to the aluminum sides. The copper sides form external surfaces of the unit. The metallic members 33 and 36 are then sealed to the top and bottom of the insulating means 20 to completely enclose the unit.
The external surfaces of metallic members 33 and 36 may serve as terminals themselves or leads 42 and 43 may be attached as shown in FIG. 2, e.g. by solder 44 and 45.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, one metallic member 133 may be molded with the insulating means 120. A rubber gasket 21 is placed around the outer periphery as shown in FIG. 4, and the second metallic member 136 may be formed as a shallow can into which the above structure snugly fits. Before such assembly, the capacitor section 10 is electrically connected to the metallic members 133 and 136 as above, and the unit is assembled by placing the section inside the insulating means 120, placing it into the shallow can and rolling over the upper edges of metallic member 136 over gasket 21 to provide an edge seal as shown in FIG. 5.
If it is desired to form a nest of capacitors automatically connected in series, then, as shown in FIG. 6, metallic member 136 of FIGS. 4 and 5 is formed as a shallow can 37 with a depression that fits flush onto metallic member 133 inside the rim formed by the edge seal and insulating means 120 and gasket 21. The top edge of metallic member 37 is then rolled over the gasket as in FIG. 5.
The resulting capacitors have high volumetric efficiency as there is little space between the section and the package. The shape of the finished capacitor allows more capacitors of a given rating to be used in the same space as fewer cylindrical ones, i.e., improved packaging density. The embodiment shown in FIG. 6 permits stacking in a nest and automatic series connection.
Because the capacitor section is of the extended foil type with edges welded together, the equivalent series resistance is low as the edge welds decrease the resistance of the foil. Low inductance is obtained by internal section design, i.e., the welded edges and large foil tabs connected either directly to the case or through electrode terminations. The uniform spacing of the metallic members, i.e., the distance between them and their distance from the section, contributes to the low inductance, less than 1 nano-henry.
This capacitor is particularly useful for power supplies, computers, and other applications where there is a need for low equivalent series resistance at high frequencies, that is, a high resonance point and low impedance, coupled with low inductance.
The capacitor is shown in the Figures to be rectangular, but it may be square, oval, or round; the rectangular or square forms are preferred because of higher volumetric efficiency. Whatever the shape, the capacitor section is completely enclosed by the frame and the metallic members, and no leads protrude through the resulting case.
Copper-clad aluminum is the preferred material for the metallic members as it provides aluminum surfaces facing the aluminum capacitor section so there is no galvanic couple. It also provides an outer surface that can serve as terminals per se or to which leads can be easily welded or soldered. However, other materials can be used such as other cladded combinations with aluminum, all aluminum members, or tantalum when the capacitor section is tantalum.
The insulating means may be a thermoplastic and/or thermosetting material such as nylon, polypropylene, a phenolic, a perfluoroethylene, polyphenylene sulfide or the like that is chemically resistant to capacitor electrolytes. When the capacitor section is aluminum, a filled phenolic and desirably a high-temperature mineral- or glass-filled phenolic is preferred. When the capacitor section is tantalum, a member of the Teflon family, such as Teflon itself or perfluoroalkoxyperfluoroethylene, is preferred.

From Bill Murray to Disney, Here Are 5 Great Movies To Watch When It's Freezing Outside [VIDEO]
As we approach the coldest night of the season so far, stay warm inside and enjoy these 5 movies.
As we approach the coldest night of the season so far, stay warm inside and enjoy these 5 movies.
After only 10 episodes, FX's 'Fargo' adaptation has come to a snow-fallen close with Tuesday's season (series?) finale "Morton's Fork." Bodies hit the ground, bullets flew and plenty of "you betcha"s abounded, but what does showrunner Noah Hawley have to say about the big ending? And what might we pick up on if FX opts for a second trip to 'Fargo' in 2015?
After only ten episodes, and with no guarantee of a second season, FX's 'Fargo' will come to an end this Tuesday with its first season (series?) finale "Morton's Fork." In it, Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) remains hot on the trail of Lester (Martin Freeman), but will the police catch up in time to thwart a snow-fallen bloodbath? Get a clue with the full set of photos from the 'Fargo' finale!
Last week we got our first look look at FX's forthcoming 'Fargo' TV series, before the network revealed the Coen brothers-adapted drama's April premiere date at the TCA press tour, though at last the star-studded true crime drama series has a cast photo gallery worthy of its pedigree. See the stars of FX's 'Fargo' in a full set of photos from the premiere!
FX's forthcoming 'Fargo' adaptation isn't the first attempt at adapting Joel and Ethan Coen's 1996 Oscar-nominee for the small-screen, but it may be the most ambitious. The cast and crew gathered at the ongoing TCA press tour to discuss the future of the series, wherein FX revealed that we'll take our first trip into the 10-episodes series with 'Fargo''s April debut.
Some Fargo, North Dakota kids out trick or treating this Halloween will be getting a surprise from one woman this year. She has vowed to give kids she deems 'moderately obese' a letter for their parents rather than candy.
The movie "Fargo" put Minnesota on the map years ago, and it's doing it again. Now, FX is developing a T.V. series based on the movie. The plot will feature multiple locations from Northern MN, and likely Bemidji, MN.
Bringing to life such famed characters as 'The Hobbit''s Bilbo Baggins and 'Sherlock''s John Watson just doesn't seem to be enough for UK star Martin Freeman. The original 'Office' star has set his sights on a leading role in FX's forthcoming 'Fargo' adaptation opposite Billy Bob Thornton, in a role that should sound awfully familiar to fans of the Coen brothers classic.

Arizona Cardinals
Warren Moon: Arizona Cardinals suffered biggest offseason losses in NFC West
The Seattle Seahawks, coming off a Super Bowl victory, are dealing with an unhappy Marshawn Lynch.
The San Francisco 49ers, who lost a nailbiter to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game, will be without the services of Pro Bowl tight end Vernon Davis, who is also holding out for more money.
The 49ers also dealt with some offseason drama courtesy of QB Colin Kaepernick, who recently signed a contract extension.
The point is, the teams the Arizona Cardinals are chasing in the NFC West have had their share of issues over the last couple months, and appear primed to have more problems in the coming weeks.
But none of that compares to what the Arizona Cardinals are having to deal with, according to Hall of Fame QB and Seahawks analyst Warren Moon.
"I think the biggest losses will probably be the Arizona Cardinals," Moon told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Tuesday. "Because you lose those two inside linebackers, they're two very dynamic players.
"You might want to lose one of them but definitely don't want to lose both of them, and losing both of them, that's a big hole they're going to have to fill."
Moon is referring to Karlos Dansby, who left Arizona for Cleveland as a free agent, and Daryl Washington, who was suspended for the season due to violating the league's policy on substance abuse.
Last season, the two combined to form one of the best inside linebacker duos in the league, combining for 197 total tackles, 9.5 sacks and six interceptions.
In their place, the team seems ready to turn to second-year pro Kevin Minter and veteran Larry Foote. Minter, a second-round pick out of LSU, played just one defensive snap last season, and Foote appeared in just one game due to injury.
At best, what the Cardinals have is an unknown, though many believe they're going to suffer a significant drop-off at an important position.
And that, Moon believes, is more damaging than any of the drama the Cardinals' competition has to deal with.
"Nobody else lost any players," he said. "If anything, some of these teams gained players. Sam Bradford is coming back from an injury, Michael Sam is added to their football team. Marshawn Lynch is still going to be a part of the Seahawks football team.
"But you guys actually lost two very good players that you won't have their services this year, so that's a bigger loss."

Police trying to track child cyclist involved in crash with car in Lincoln
Posted: August 18, 2014|
Police are trying to track down a boy hurt in a collision with a reversing car, after he didn't stay at the scene.
The car collided with the youngster as he was on a bike, on the morning of Friday, July 4.
A driver had been coming out of his driveway on Wolsey Way, in Lincoln.
The schoolboy, who police say was around six or seven-years-old and looked to have hurt his hand, didn't stop to give any details about any injury or himself.
He is described as being white, of thin build and with fair, short hair.
He was wearing a green jacket and brown trousers and said he was going to school, but didn't appear to be wearing school uniform.
Officers would like to find out who he is, and talk to him about the incident.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Lincolnshire Police on the 101 number.

1991 Buick LeSabre Q&A
1991 Buick LeSabre Question: How much to change part
How much would it be to change a cam position sensor if i bought the part myself - preciouss43
Answer 1
IF you think it actually needs the CAMSHAFT position sensor it will be about the same cost as to just let the repair shop install their part! That way you have a little warranty! Most shops need to make a certain amount on every job, so if you have your own part and the shop needs to make a profit of, lets say $15.00 on the part, you pay that amount as well as the labor, that is just how it is and has been for years! I love it when folks bring in their own parts cause if that aint the problem then i am in the clear. Or if the part fails i am still in the clear. How much would McDonalds charge you to cook your own hamberger meat? Then if it taste like crap, not much you can say! Not much to be saved here by buying your own part as it's not that much to start with. I hope you see what i mean. - pushrod
Answer 2
Cam sensor is no big deal to replace but it likely has not failed. What goes wrong is the magnet that the sensor senses needs replacement or the timing chain and gears are worn out. Much bigger job than a sensor. And I agree with pushrod .....reputable shops suppy the parts, skill and knowlege to repair cars. - milesauto
Answer 3
if u supply part there is no warranty,have it done and save time and money in the long run. get proper diag 1st - globalhelper

Well, I'm going 9800 Pro but I just want to state that, the NV30 is just garbage. Why? Because the design of the thing does not have DX9 in mind.
Now, why? DX9 was designed after nVidia had essentially finilized the specs for then NV30. nVidia got screwed because Microsoft doesn't believe in data types (apparently).
It's hardware first, software later. Microsoft designs the next DirectX release based upon upcoming hardware.
And the number of PS instructions available is only one part of programmability. The GeForce FX still has more available instructions in the pixel shader (such as DDX/DDY, as one example, that are necessary for filtering in the pixel shader, which can be used for a variety of purposes), and has quite a bit over the R350 in vertex shader capabilities.
That's not MS's fault and Nvidia has alot of gall requesting for MS to lower the precision requests in DX9 when they KNEW what DX9 was going to call for.
Hardware before software. The NV30 architecture is based upon the supposition that different types of processing require different precisions to work optimally. Different data types have been used in CPU's for quite some time, why should GPU's be any different?
CG might be useful and then again CG could just be Nvidia's way of fixing their mistake. I see CG as another Glide 2.0 if it doesn't support other programmable GPU cards.
It does.
And frankly, for NV35, if its the same GPU like the NV30 but with a 256-bit memory interface...big whoop then. Sure it'll be faster, but it still will be a crap design product.
Aren't your complaints with the NV30 based upon speed? Do you see the problem with the above statement, then?

He lets Patterson bat against a LH pitcher in the 8th and he lets Bako hit against a LH pitcher in the 9th? I am just floored here....
He lets Patterson bat against a LH pitcher in the 8th and he lets Bako hit against a LH pitcher in the 9th? I am just floored here....
"Is there a problem officers?"
Its because we didn't have a righty off the bench to hit against the lefty that had only allowed 2 hits all year. Oh wait, we actually had 3 of them.
I thought Patterson had to bat leadoff in order to split the lefties? But him and Bruce can go back to back? And then Dunn and Votto go back to back?
Dusty is like Michael from The Office. I am waiting for Stanley to flip out on him and yell at him and say something like, "Everyday I think you couldn't possibly be stupider, but everyday you and your damn little peahead brain do something stupider and stupider." Or something like that...
Maybe in a one run ballgame he wanted his good defensive centerfielder to stay in the game.
He probably should have hit for Bako, but if Ross came up Phils would have gone to a righty.
Dusty handled the pitchers well in that game and managed just fine.
Every time Patterson's name appears on the lineup card, fans start going after Dusty. It's not his fault Griffey has general soreness and Freel an injured hamstring.

Escalation of commitment, Baker wanted these guys brought into the Reds organization because they are players that he had seen and was familiar with and he is doing everything he can to try and make it look justifiable, but the players aren't good enough and it makes Baker look like he is some obsessed fanatic over those ex-Cubs, and a very poor judge of talent.
The worst part is how bad a judge of talent and skills that Baker apparently really is, Baker really believed that Patterson, Mercker, Bako and Hairston were the right men for the job in Cincy.
Baker continues to do Patterson a disfavor by batting him up in the order when Patterson might actually contribute batting down in the order, where he has in the past. Jocketty has his work cut out for him, form fitting a team for Baker.
Escalation of commitment is the phenomenon where people increase their investment in a decision despite new evidence suggesting that the decision was probably wrong.

The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
So now, in order to criticize Baker, we consider Mercker a Baker ex-Cub favorite? I seem to remember him being an ex Red who played with the team three times, lives nearby and wanted to pitch again with the team.
And Hairston and Bako have made a pretty solid contribution. Bako hit very well early and filled in well when Ross was hurt. He's slumping now, but some of his teammates have also slumped and they are not ex-Cubs.
Patterson started off hot, then went into a deep slump. Baker didn't just keep him -- he sent him to AAA. Only when Freel and Griffey got hurt did Patterson return.
I think the last few weeks have shown that Baker can win when he has the talent. I didn't read all the criticism when Bruce was hitting .600 and the team was winning virtually every home game.
Baker has done very well in the single most important aspect of in game managing, his use of pitchers. The starters are throwing a reasonable number of pitches. Relievers are not being overused. Dusty obviously tries to rest relievers when possible and is very aware of their workload.
Hairston has been very valuable and plays all over, has hit and run well and has tried his best playing at a position he isn't suited to. I actualy like the guy's contributions so far.
Merck came in and pitched decently. I don't remember him killing the Reds in any games like Lincoln, or Weathers. Besides Mercker wasn't brought back because of Dusty, but because of his ties to the team.
Patterson. Well, I'm not defending this - on Patterson I agree with you. I'd as soon see Dickerson getting his shot but Dusty really seems to have a blind spot when it comes to Corey.
Why is it that Baker makes it so easy to criticize him?
Why isnt harder ?
Who is responsible for that,
the manager himself is.
No excuse for batting Patterson up in the order
No excuse for Hairston not playing the outfield and Janish helping out the pitching by his fielding at SS.
No excuse for having Phillips bat cleanup, especially against RH pitching.
Reason for not playing Hairston in center -- Dusty wants a plus centerfielder, a key defensive position, when he doesn't have his full starting outfield.
Reason for hitting Phillips cleanup -- Just like Narron did, just like McKannin did, he likes to break up lefties and hit Phillips fourth. If he had a better righty option he might do it differently. Phillips helped key the win tonight and had an .850 OPS coming into the game (after a slump).

Baker had a blind spot when it came to Jay Bruce too. That injury to Ross that sent Ross to rehab and the DL was disputed by Ross too, that is what opened the door for Bako, I have no idea how Ross and Bruce might have produced for this team, and we will never know who or what players might have been brought in if the unemployed ex-cubs were not given jobs in their place.
What is it with (Insert Redzoner here) and Chris Denorfia?
Everyone has guys that they gravitate toward, regardless of what conventional wisdom or numbers say. I'd rather have Dickerson and all, but it's not that big of a deal. Patterson is here for this year and this year only.
"I saw Wedding Crashers accidentally. I bought a ticket for Grizzly Man and went into the wrong theater. After an hour, I figured I was in the wrong theater, but I kept waiting. Thats the thing about bear attacks. They come when you least expect it."-Dwight K. Schrute
The team is playing very well so I am not going to sit here and criticize Dusty except to say he can't keep running Patterson out there. Its just not fair to the rest of the team. The man cannot hit MLB pitching and he isn't capable of forming the concept of taking a walk, much less executing it.
I like Dusty sticking with consistent lineuups, I like the way this team is playing, I'm not worried too much about the small tactical errors he may or may not be making. That said, I cannot give anyone a pass that voluntarily uses Patterson and on top of that uses him in the 1 or 2 hole.
I know that you are perceptive and observant and do your homework on these players, and that you know that Patterson never was a good leadoff hitter and that Corey himself was covered by Chicago media explaining that he did not like to lead off, and his stats would support that he, Patterson is correct, we also know that Patterson actually had some success batting down in the order.
Perhaps the early reviews on Baker were correct in that he is more of a pro-veteran, anti-young player type of manager. He, Baker certainly did not start the youngest member of the position players in a spot pressure free, by starting Bruce out in the two slot, and not down in the order taking the pressure off of him. I have to believe that the real reason to bat Votto down in the order has to do with his left-right splits after he starts out batting the SS/CF one two regardless of their skill levels to do so effectively. Baker has made himself clear on his need and want for speed in CF, yet he ignores the fact that Patterson might be that man in CF, but he is not that man at the plate. On one hand he makes the claim by using defense as the justification, on the other hand he contradicts his defending the CF rationalizations by not using Janish at shortstop and using Hairston a man that Baker admitted in the media that he did not know if Hairston could play shortstop, but, Hairston said that he could. If the theory is defense in center, it would follow even more that defense is paramount at ss.-- Baker obviously wants to hit EE and Votto lower in the order because they are kids and he doesn't want them in pressure situations.
The rhetoric that Baker uses now with Patterson and Hairston is consistent with what he did in Chicago with Patterson and Hairston, they even sent Patterson down and then back up to bat leadoff after Corey Patterson had a change of mind and heart, seeing the light after he was sent down to AAA.He also thinks that Patterson is due to go on a little hot streak. He also likes speed higher in the order.
Escalation of commitment is not irrational either but it happens when Baker is looking for a confirmation bias that his choices and decisions are correct in spite of the results.You may not agree, but it's not irrational.
And the reason for not playing Janish at a very key defensive position and reason then, I cannot follow because Bakers words and actions are not supported by each other.Reason for not playing Hairston in center -- Dusty wants a plus centerfielder, a key defensive position, when he doesn't have his full starting outfield.
What would be wrong with Dunn, Votto, Encarncion or even Bruce in the cleanup spot against RH pitchers? According to the Baker theories?Reason for hitting Phillips cleanup -- Just like Narron did, just like McKannin did, he likes to break up lefties and hit Phillips fourth. If he had a better righty option he might do it differently. Phillips helped key the win tonight and had an .850 OPS coming into the game (after a slump).

Most have said that the FA market is pretty void of talent, and it might not be fast and easy for Jocketty to upgrade his CF positon over the winter, and Patterson could be back as a fourth outfielder too, and end up starting.

Review quote
"Nicholas Lander is such a fluent writer in this fascinating book, "The Art of the Restaurateur." His system of completing each profile with a salient restaurant point applicable to all is brilliant." - Danny Meyer "Nobu wasn't built in a day. In Nicholas Lander's gorgeous illustrated book. . .Drew Nieporent and 19 other proprietors reveal what it takes (pluck, creativity, Clintonian people skills) to run a top dining establishment. A must-read for restaurant lovers." - "Details" ." . .serves as an excellent primer to the world of running a restaurant. In a world where chefs get all the attention, it's nice to see the incredibly difficult work of restaurateur get its due." - "Eater National" "In an age of celebrity chefs, this book turns its eye on the unsung heroes of the restaurant industry. In retelling stories of the rise of our era's most famous restaurants and the owners behind them, the book studies successes and failures of each, as well as their decisions behind such as aspects as location, design, menus, and more." - "La Cucina Italiana" "Most ["Restaurant Hospitality"] readers who read this one will likely deliver the same verdict: "Finally, a book about us!" - "Restaurant Hospitality" "If you've ever wondered what goes into running a single stalwart or growing empire, now's your chance to learn." - "The Wall Street Journal" ." . .the book also offers food for thought on the restaurateur's art. . .Lander does not resort to the waspish prose that makes some other restaurant critics fun to read. But in these splendid establishments perhaps there was simply nothing to sneer at." - "The Economist" "So many people fantasize about starting their own restaurant and few have the slightest idea of what it takes. Meet 20 of the greats including Danny Meter and Joe Bastianich to learn the elements that make for an establishment's success and staying power. (Love the illustrations, too!) - "GOOP" ." . .Lander offers a globe-trotting tour of gastronomic proportions. The culinary writing is restrained. . .without a hint of snobbery, and an absence of interest in all things trendy. . .Look for valuable lessons and sound advice." - " Macleans"

The Florida Panthers' dreadful goaltending situation just got worse. Jose Theodore has been diagnosed with a torn groin, likely putting him out of commission for the rest of the season, according to a report by Renaud Lavoie of RDS. Theodore needed to be helped off the ice just two minutes into Florida's 6-2 loss to Carolina on Saturday. Statistically, the Panthers' play in net has been the worst in the NHL this season, ranking 30th with 3.7 goals allowed per game. Theodore has been in net for the bulk of those minutes, holding a 4-6-3 mark through 15 games. It's easy now to forget that the 36-year-old was a Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender a decade ago, as he ranks 39th in goals against average (3.29) and 35th in save percentage (.893) this season. Losing a player that has posted such poor numbers shouldn't be devastating for a club, but unfortunately for the Panthers, their other option is even less appealing. Backup Scott Clemmensen, who's played in nine games, has been the ...
