Observing Constraints and Classification Rules
General Observing Constraints
Every requested observation has multiple observing constraints. Typical observing constraints are:
- the allowable brightest lunar phase
- the allowable smallest moon-to-object angular separation
- the allowable maximum airmass
- the allowable maximum image size (i.e. FWHM at observed wavelength, 'image
- the allowable sky transparency
- for CRIRES, NACO and SINFONI, the Strehl ratio on the reference star.
- for instruments observing in the mid-IR (CRIRES and VISIR), the allowable maximum Precipitable Water Vapour (PWV)
- the allowable twilight constraint that defines the earliest time in minutes with respect to the end of the astronomical twilight when the execution of the OB can be started
- the allowable absolute time window (i.e. for time critical events, multi-epoch monitoring)
- the allowable local sidereal time range (e.g. for ADI observation)
- for VLTI instruments, the availability of the desired baseline
The Observing Constraints are specified by the user at Phase 2 for each Observation Block. Since the execution conditions required by each programme are an important ingredient in the process of building up the Long Term Schedule of an observing semester, and thus determines which programmes can or cannot be scheduled, users are not allowed to specify at Phase 2 constraints that are more strict than those specified in the original proposal. Users can however relax the constraints during the submission of their Phase 2 material. The values in the OB constraint sets that are selected (and approved) during Phase 2 preparation (and review) cannot be changed later during the observing period.
General Classification Rules
Quality Control of OBs executed in Service Mode will be based on the user's specified constraints for airmass, atmospheric transparency, seeing (i.e. image quality), moon constraints, as well as Strehl ratio for Adaptive Optics mode observations.
Note: the seeing constraint as defined in the OB is judged against the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a point source in the resulting image (or spectral image), i.e. at the observed wavelength, for most of the VLT instruments (i.e. it is the image quality).
Additional Observing Constraints and Classification Rules for HAWK-I
Lunar constraints
Do not overspecify the Moon constraints as this reduces the chances of the Observing Block being executed! The Moon does not directly affect infrared observations. For most HAWK-I observations the Moon illumination (FLI) can be entirely relaxed by selecting FLI=1. Only for the shortest wavelength filters (<1.2mic) there is an increased contribution from the sky background, degrading the sensitivity of your observations.
Twilight constraints
Because HAWK-I is an infrared imager, observations of bright objects may be carried out in twilight. From P91 onwards, there is a new constraint in P2PP3 called twilight constraint. This constraint can be used to define the earliest time with respect to the end of the astronomical twilight when the execution of the OB can be started. While the relation between the time difference from the evening twilight end and sun elevation varies during the year, for Paranal due to its low latitude this difference is small. Therefore the constraint is given in minutes as a difference in time with respect to the end of astronomical twilight (i.e. the time when the solar elevation is -18 degrees). The default value of twilight constraint is 0. A negative number means that it is allowed to start the observation before the end of the astronomical twilight. The twilight constraint can take values between -45 and 0 minutes.

Originally written on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 11/1/12
With the 2012-13 college basketball season quickly approaching, The Cardinal Connect will provide a brief preseason player profile for all 15 members of the team. We'll take a look at each player's production from last season and provide what their reasonable expectations should be in 2012-13. Peyton Siva, 6-foot-1, PG, Sr. 2011-12 Season Review: As far as the regular season goes, Peyton Siva slightly regressed from sophomore to junior year. With that said, the regular season didn't matter at all after Siva was able to turn it on and play at an elite level the in post season. It didn't get mentioned much until after the season had ended, but Siva played the majority of the season with a minor injury. His performance in the Big Easttournament sparked Louisville's magical post season. In four games Siva averaged13.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.8 steals. He was named the most outstanding player of the Big East Tournament. Siva's solid play continued as Louisville entered t...

Transforming Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in the 21st Century – Indiana as a Center for Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing
Published on
Dr. Svensson's research has centered on the mechanism of idiosyncratic drug reactions. His laboratory has focused on the genetic, environmental, and immunological factors that predispose patients to adverse drug reactions that affect the skin and liver. His laboratory was the first to demonstrate the ability of human skin cells to metabolize drugs, resulting in protein haptenation and activation of stress signals.
Dr. Svensson has served as a member or chair of numerous grant review panels for the National Institutes of Health. He is a regular reviewer for numerous scientific journals, including the Journal of Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics and JAMA - the Journal of the American Medical Association. He is currently the Associate Editor for the AAPS Journal and is a Fellow of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.

Photo of the top of the bike as requested. Looks just like yours, down to the manky wiring. But the variances are for the Enduralast Alternator
The stock alternator output is 280w at best, but can deteriorate if the wiring / connections are allowed to corrode. The alternator takes to about 3k (?) revs before it actually even covers the engine & light load. This is problematic if you are in slow going or commuting. It relies on the red dash light to excite the charge circuit. If that fails, no charge. The diode board is in very hot / hostile environment - not the best for reliability. Stock grounding for the diode board is not great. A common fix is to run a ground wire from the front cover to a ground on the block.
BTW don't ever take the front cover off without disconnecting the battery ground - easy to burn out a diode from static charge if the cover scraps the diode board. DAMHIK.
There are work arounds for all of those issues.
The Enduralast not only makes more charge, it also starts charging earlier than the stock system. It's also a brushless unit (constant magnet), so potentially maintenance free. Have a look at the site, all will come clear.
My understanding are that the major differences between the two bikes ex factory are the carbs (you've 32mm, I've got 40mms), barrels & heads, & the final drive ratio (yours is a little shorter). That's pretty much it.

Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Words such as may, will, expect, believe, anticipate, intend, could, estimate, continue, or the negative or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events and circumstances are considered forward-looking statements. They are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements due to various factors including macro-economic uncertainty and/or recession (including our ability to quickly adapt cost structures with anticipated levels of business, ability to manage inventory levels with market demand); capital spending levels in the telecommunications industry; future economic, competitive, financial and market conditions; limited visibility with regards to customer orders and the timing of such orders; fluctuating exchange rates; consolidation in the global telecommunications test and service assurance industry and increased competition among vendors; concentration of sales; market acceptance of our new products and other upcoming products; our ability to successfully integrate our acquired and to-be-acquired businesses; our ability to successfully expand international operations; and the retention of key technical and management personnel. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments and risks, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Other risk factors that may affect our future performance and operations are detailed in our Annual Report, on Form 20-F, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian securities commissions. We believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to us, but we cannot assure you that the expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this press release. Unless required by law or applicable regulations, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any of them to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this document.NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURESEXFO provides non-IFRS financial measures (gross margin*, EBITDA** and adjusted EBITDA**) as supplemental information regarding its operational performance. The company uses these measures for the purposes of evaluating historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help EXFO to plan and forecast future periods as well as to make operational and strategic decisions. EXFO believes that providing this information, in addition to IFRS measures, allows investors to see the company's results through the eyes of management, and to better understand historical and future financial performance.The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.*Gross margin represents sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization.**EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding changes in the fair value of the cash contingent consideration.The following table summarizes the reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net earnings (loss), in thousands of US dollars:EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Q3 2012 Q2 2012 Q3 2011 IFRS net earnings (loss) for the period$(3,902) $ 1,040 $1,799 Add (deduct): Depreciation of property, plant and equipment 1,520 1,546 1,745 Amortization of intangible assets 1,993 1,974 2,128 Interest (income) expenses 163 (171) (619) Income taxes 474 1,769 2,066 EBITDA for the period 248 6,158 7,119Changes in fair value of cash contingent consideration -

You're right. Jose Lima tried to get the number this season, but was rejected.
I thought Major League Baseball retired the number. Why is Rivera allowed to wear that number?Originally Posted by Caseyfan21
Please educate me.
Rivera had the number before Jackie's number was retired. They grandfathered in the use of the number by any active player who already used it. Mariano is simply the last active guy who had the number at the time.
That's my understanding at least.
I thought Pop's Ortiz still wore number?
Ortiz is #34
Thanks for the information...thats what I thought...but I thought is was retired before Rivera's career began...my bad.Originally Posted by RedsManRick
I thought I remember that Lima, Rivera and Mo Vaughn were the only three grandfathered in when that happened.
I'm pretty sure Mike Jackson was wearing 42 for the Reds at the time, but I'd have to look it up to be sure.
I believe there were more, but those 3 were definately grandfathered in. Problem is that Lima changed his number (last year or the year before) and then tried to get #42 back. They said no.Originally Posted by jmcclain19

Your Mom is happy.
He was wearing #42, but he was wearing it for the Cleveland Indians in '97 when MLB retired it. He wore it for two more seasons, before wearing #38 for the Astros in 2001. He again wore #42 in 2002 while with the Twins.Originally Posted by Danny Serafini

Thanks for clearing that up. Maybe he was the last #42 for the Reds and that was what I was thinking of.
That honor would go to Roger Salkeld, who started nineteen games for the Reds in '96.

Uruguay's marijuana growers come out into open
A few blocks away in another downtown Montevideo locale, "Yuyo Brothers" is the store to go to for other marijuana accessories, from rolling papers to pipes. "Yuyo" means weed in Spanish, and some of the store's customers don't want people to know they use marijuana. But owner Enrique Tubino, who has sold marijuana accessories for years, happily keeps his plants in a window at home, visible to anyone who walks by. "No one has ever denounced me," Tubino said.
But not all growers are happy with the new law.
A university employee, speaking with the AP on condition of anonymity to avoid prosecution, said he's grown marijuana for years and never sold it to anyone.
"With the old law, if a judge decided that my plants were for my personal use, I would have been let go. The new law sets the limit at six plants. And since I have more than six, now it doesn't matter if I sell or if it's for me — I'm a criminal."

Delta Air Lines and the FAA are investigating an incident in which the engine tail cone came off a Delta Boeing 777-200ER during a flight on5 November.
The airport departed New York JFK airport for Tokyo at 13:00 local time and the engine tail cone landed in a residential yard in Long Island, New York, a Delta spokesman says.
The aircraft arrived in Tokyo and the airline installed a new tail cone during its 13-hour layover. The aircraft will return to the US during its regularly scheduled flight on 7 November, the spokesman says.
An FAA spokeswoman says she expects the part fell off shortly after takeoff due to the location of where the part landed.
No one was harmed and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is not investigating the matter, but is monitoring the situation, an NTSB spokeswoman says.

By Alexander Bolton - 12/30/12 11:25 PM EST
Senate Republicans say Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) is willing to drop his demand to curb the growth of Social Security cost-of-living increases.
The demand from McConnell had thrown a wrench into talks Sunday on a "fiscal cliff" deal as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) and other Democrats quickly balked at the request, which they said they would not accept.
"We need to take CPI off the table," said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). "That is not part of the negotiations because we can't win an argument that has Social Security for seniors versus taxes for the rich, so we need to take it off the table."
At issue is the formula used to calculate benefit payments. Republicans prefer switching to the chained consumer price index — or "chained CPI" — while Democrats insist on maintaining the current method.
When asked if Republican leaders would be willing to drop Social Security reform from the talks, McCain said: "I think we're in agreement that should be off the table."
Incoming Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Republican leaders never really expected Reid to agree to reduce the growth of the entitlement program in the midst of tax negotiations.
"I don't think anybody ever expected Social Security to be part of this, it's all going to be about taxes," he said.
Cornyn said the biggest obstacle at this point is getting Democrats to return to the talks.
"The discussion was really about the fact that there had been no response to the Republican offer by Sen. Reid and that really we didn't have a negotiating partner," he said, summarizing a closed-door meeting of the Senate GOP conference Sunday afternoon.
Reid said on the Senate floor Sunday evening he will continue working with McConnell and alerted colleagues to expect the next update Monday morning.
"There is still significant distance between the two sides but negotiations continue," Reid said. "There is still time left to reach an agreement, and we intend to continue negotiations.
"We'll have further announcements perhaps at 11 in the morning, I certainly hope so," he said.
McConnell has begun talking with Vice President Biden in an effort to "jump-start" the negotiations.
McConnell left the Republican meeting to speak to Biden by phone and later returned. He told colleagues he needed some time to process what Biden said and come back to them with a recommendation.
Despite the blowup over Social Security, Senate Democrats and Republicans appear to be inching toward an agreement.
Reid has proposed raising the threshold for extending income tax rates to $360,000 for individual income and $450,000 for family income, according to Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), who with other Democrats received a briefing from Reid. Rob Nabors, the White House director of legislative affairs, attended the meeting but did not speak to the caucus.
Republicans have countered with a proposal to extend rates for individual income below $450,000 on individual income and $550,000 for family income, according to the senators.
Harkin said Republicans also want to set the estate tax rate at 35 percent with an exemption on $5 million inheritances.
"It's just not good," he said.
Durbin said Democrats are still fighting to extend unemployment benefits but acknowledged their demand for transportation stimulus is no longer realistic.
Republicans say Democrats have dropped their demand to include an increase in the federal debt ceiling.
Emerging from the Democratic caucus meeting, Reid said he was glad that Republicans are willing to drop Social Security from the mix but added "we're still left with a proposal they've given us that protects the wealthy and not the middle class, and I'm not going to agree to that."
Both sides are still trying to turn off $109 billion in sequestered cuts to defense and non-defense spending. Democrats want to use the new tax revenue from allowing Bush era rates to expire to offset turning off the sequester, a Democratic aide said. The GOP wanted chained CPI as the offset.
"If that is unacceptable to them, they need to come up with an alternative," Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said.
Democrats and Republicans also disagree over how to pay for stopping the automatic spending cuts.
A senior Democratic aide said the money should come from the revenues collected from raising taxes on the wealthy, but some Republicans say that is unacceptable.
"We all know revenues are going to increase on the wealthy," said Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.). "To use that money to spend it and not use it to reduce deficits is beyond belief and goes against everything the president has said over the last year but that's where they are.
"You cannot in my opinion turn the sequester off without paying for it," he said. "You can't pay for it with revenues, those are cuts."
McCain said he would not vote for any deal that does not delay the sequester of defense spending.
Cornyn said that McConnell expects to convene the conference again later Sunday as talks continue.
Without a deal, Reid has said he will bring to the floor on Monday a default bill that extends the Bush-era income tax rates for family income below $250,000, extends unemployment benefits and expiring business tax provisions, and freezes scheduled cuts in Medicare payments to doctors.
A top Senate Republican said the party would likely try to amend Obama's tax proposal if Reid brought it to the floor. Asked if the GOP would demand a 60-vote threshold to pass the president's bill at the last minute, Sen. John Cornyn (Tex.) replied, "We'd like to be able to offer some amendments."
Battles over amendments often delay action on Senate legislation, but a number of Republican senators said Sunday they might vote for Obama's fallback bill if it was the final option to prevent a major portion of the fiscal cliff.

As I walk around our neighborhood, I often find myself wondering about the people who have lived here since the second half of the nineteenth century, and I feel intensely curious about their distant lives. On the assumption that many of my neighbors must also share this fascination with the names and personalities of certain persons long dead, I am trying to gather on this blog some miscellaneous scraps of information about the former inhabitants of A Street SE (between Third and Sixth streets) on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. The emphasis is mainly on the people who lived on this street rather than the history of the buildings, though I am compiling any material that I can about the street's past. There will also be some occasional notes about other addresses in the neighborhood, including of course St. Mark's Church, which is at the corner of A and Third streets.
The easiest way to find all the posts relating to a particular house is to click on one of the addresses in the dropdown menus under the header above and in the menu Addresses at the right. The tag cloud below it includes surnames, names of institutions, and a few broad categories like photos, deaths, and marriages. The search box at the upper right is useful for doing more miscellaneous kinds of searches.
I am grateful to several persons who have supplied material for this blog: Gene Berry, Peter Clark, Eric Freund, Mark Kantor, Paul Cromwell, and Maureen Shea. I welcome further suggestions and corrections.
—Bill Peterson (firstname.lastname@example.com)
