Bending Over Backwards: Two Lawsuits Filed Today Rock The Local Music Scene
Well, one thing became quite certain this afternoon (as if recent speculation didn't already have people assuming as much): You're not going to see Salim Nourallah playing Bend Studio anytime soon, like he is in the video above.
(If, that is, Bend Studio ever gets over its current Fire Marshal hurdles.)
Here's why: Two lawsuits were filed in two different courts this afternoon, and both involve Nourallah and Bend Studio. Details after the jump.
First, Ally David, who books a shows to Bend, filed a defamation suit in conjunction with Bend Studio in district court against Nourallah for the sum of $1.5 million. David claims that a recent (and since taken down) blog post on Nourallah's blog did irreparable damage to David's reputation, since the post was assumed to be circulated throughout the local media. (It was--to an extent--although I only saw it reposted on Cindy Chaffin's new blog. A comment posted in response to Chaffin's blog post is quoted in David's lawsuit.)
About an hour after David's suit was filed, the board of directors for the Anju Gill Foundation (an organization set up to showcase local music talent in honor of a music fan who died a few years back) filed a suit against David and Bend. The board--which includes Nourallah, his wife Jayme, musician Rahim Quazi and two others, Diana Bacon and Sara Brooke Blanton--alleges that David misused the $10,000 the foundation was founded with, as well as the $2,000 it subsequently earned in fundraisers, for personal gain.
At this point, although each suits have been filed by its plaintiff, neither has been officially served to its defendants. Still, we reached out to both David and Nourallah for comment.
Says Nourallah: "I considered Ally to be a friend, and I never wanted this to happen. This is the last thing I ever wanted. I've been a big supporter of Bend's over the years, and it's been well documented on my blog and elsewhere."
David preferred not to comment, and we've yet to hear back from her attorney.
We'll do our best to stay on top of these lawsuits and keep you posted on their progress--although please be aware that, with civil lawsuits like these, things could be drawn out over a very long period of time. --Pete Freedman

The aircraft crashed into a paddock on the outskirts of Lismore just after 10 o'clock this morning.
Steven Bilson was driving along the Bruxner Highway when he saw the plane in trouble.
He says it disintegrated on impact.
"I knew he was in trouble, the angle he was going down, he was going down quite fast.
"I just saw the ball of smoke go up and everything happening basically, so yeah, the plane's in bits.
"There's not one bit together down there, so he hit very hard."

Patented May 8, 1951 2,552,139 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Carlo V. Bocciarelli, Elki Philco Corporation,
ration of Pennsylvania Application June 17, 1948, Serial No. 33,543
(Cl. Z50-27) 6 Claims. 1
'I'he present invention relates in general to magnetostrictive apparatus, and also to a television system employing such apparatus.
The phenomenon of magnetostriction is well known. When a body composed of suitable magnetostrictive material is placed in a magnetic eld, stresses are produced within the body tending to distort it. Inversely, when such a body is distorted, there Iis a change in its magnetic permeability. Magnetostriction is exhibited by a considerable number of metals and alloys, but it appears to be most pronounced in alloys of iron,
nickel and chromium. If a rod or a bar of such material is magnetically polarized, and then placed within a coil carrying alternating current, the rod or bar will vibrate longitudinally at the frequency of the alternating current. If this frequency is at the same time the resonant frequency of the rod or bar, then the amplitude of the vibration will be large even for a relatively small current in the coil. Thus, the rod may be considered to be the equivalent of a parallel tuned circuit.
The above described device may be employed as the frequency-determining element of a vacuum tube oscillator. In such an arrangement, a iirst coil, connected in the anode-cathode circuit of the tube, customarily encircles one portion of the magnetostrictive bar, while a second coil, connected in the grid-cathode circuit of the tube, encircles another portion of the bar. In many instances these coils are placed at the respective ends of the bar, and the latter is then clamped in the middle (a node of its mechanical vibration) so that the ends of the rod are free to oscillate.
The present invention makes use of this phenomenon of magnetostriction, while at the same time eliminating many of the disadvantages inherent in the devices of the prior art. In one embodiment, the apparatus is particularly adapted to receive input energy in the form of cyclically recurring pulses, such as are generated, for example, in television transmitting systems to insure synchronization of the scanning action of the cathode ray beam of the image-reproducing tube with the scanning action of the cathode ray beam of the camera tube. Not only does the device ofv the present invention effectively suppress noise or other interference present in the received'signal, but at the same time it is much simplier structurally than are the arrangements of the prior art.
In a preferred design, a plurality of magnetostrictive tubes, positioned side-by-side in parns Park, Pa., assignor to Philadelphia,
Pa., a corpoallel relation, are driven by an input coil encircling one portion of the assembly and covering y a longitudinal section thereof preferably no longer than one quarter wavelength of the highest frequency to be passed. A second coil encircles another portion of the assembly and acts as a source of output voltage. If a series of regularly recurring pulses of current are caused to flow through the first coil, and if the magnetostrictive tubes are so designed and dimensoned to be resonant at this recurrence frequency or a selected sub-multiple thereof, then the amplitude of the output energy will reach a relatively high value. A simplified explanation of this action can be given by considering the input and output coils to be so spaced with respect both to each other and to the ends of the magnetostrictive tube assembly that, upon the application of an input pulse to the input coil, two impulses will begin traveling in the tube assembly, one to the right and one to the left of the said coil. These impulses are reflected from the respective ends of the assembly back toward the source, and may be so phased with respect to each other as to be additive at the output coil, or to give any other desired phase relationship. Thus, by a process of multiple reection and successive summation, the desired impulses are built up in amplitude to an extent limited only by the Q of the magnetostrictive member. However, incoming pulses of random frequency, or of frequencies which are not an integral multiple of the resonant frequency of the magnetostrictive tube assembly, will be correspondingly attenuated. It will also be shown that the width of the pass-band of the device may be readily changed by the use of magnetostrictive tubes having dissimilar dimensions, compositions, or configurations.
In the field of television, considerable diiculty is often encountered in achieving precise synchronization of the receiver and transmitter. This condition, which depends upon the reception of the synchronizing pulses which appear vin the composite television signal, is often affected by noise or other random impulses which are either of such amplitude or frequency as to overcome the normal action of the synchronizing pulses in controlling the operation of the scanning generators. This causes these generators to fall out of step with the corresponding generators at the transmitter, and results in distortion of the reproduced image. Examples of noise or interference which might bring about such a condition include not only static but also man-made disturbances from vehicle ignition systems or neighboring electric motors.
In an attempt to overcome or reduce the harmful effects of noise, various arrangements have been devised. One of these is the so-called automatic frequency control (AFC) system, which customarily makes use of the difference in phase between two electrical waves to produce a resultant control voltage, the magmtude of which is a function of the degree of phase displacement. In one design, the two waves which are thus compared comprise the train of sync pulses and a sine wave voltage from a stable oscillator. Such prior devices have not, however, proven entirely satisfactory.
It has been found that a magnetostrictive iilter, constructed in accordance with the present invention, is especially suited for use in connection with a television receiver for the purpose of producing a train of synchronizing pulses which 'are 'substantially free from noise. Tests have demonstrated that the synchronizing pulses thus produced are of sufficient amplitude, and so free of disturbances, that they may be used directly lin controlling the operation of the horizontal, or line, discharge tube Without the employment therewith of the conventional blocking oscillator `or multivibrator. In this way, it is possible to simplify the usual circuits required for image reproduction, and, at the same time, preclude 'such vfailure of the synchronizing circuits as would otherwise result from the reception of spurious impulses.
'The magnetostrictive elements employed heretofore as lters were subject to a number of design limitations which placed severe restrictions -fupon their efficiency. Since the magnetostric- 'tive member is conventionally a single solid rod or cylinder, the output of the '.lter is limited by a .number of factors. The latter include eddy current losses within the material of the tube, the dispersion of energy 'in radial directions (especially the higher harmonics of the fundamental input frequency), and the rigidity of the frequency band over which the device is effective. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, these drawbacks are largely overcome by making the magnetostrictive member hollow and, in addition, making it of small diameter. This has the twofold effect of reducing eddy current losses and decreasing the radial dispersion of energ-y. Since the above changes also reduce the amount of energy which can be transmitted longitudinally, a plurality of parallel tubes in close proximity to one another are employed. The band width of the filter is now readily adjusted by selecting tubes Whose lengths differ slightly, each covering a slightly different portion of the frequency spectrum.
One object of the present invention, therefore, is to provide an improved magnetostrictive device especially adapted to receive input energy in the form of regularly recurring pulses.
Another object of the invention is to provide Ian improved'-magnetostrictive device of high Q in which eddy currents in each vibrating element Aare reduced in amplitude and the radial dispersion vof energy held to a minimum.
An additional object of the invention is to substanti-ally reduce the deleterious effects of noise on the scanning action of a television receiver.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved synchronizing circuit for television receivers and the like.
In accordance with one `feature ofthe invention, there is provided an improved magnetostrictive core assembly comprising a plurality of hollow elongated members positioned in closelygrouped parallel relation, the frequency-response characteristic of the assembly being determined principally by the relative lengths, composition and losses of the individual members of the assembly.
In accordance with another feature of the invention, the disclosed magnetostrictive device is employed in connection with a television receiving system, the synchronizing pulses derived from the magnetostrictive device being utilized directly (i. e. without the interposition of a relaxation oscillator) to control sweep circuits of the television receiver.
Other objects and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of preferred forms of the invention, and from the drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is partly schematic plan View of a magnetostrictive device in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional View of a portion of Fig. 1 vtaken along the line 2 2;
Figs. 3 and. 3a are graphs illustrating waveforms which may be helpful in explaining the operation of the magnetostrictive device of Fig. 1;
Fig, e is an example of one possible frequency response curve which may be obtained from the device of Fig. l;
Fig, 5 is a circuit diagram of a portion of a television receiver adapted to utilize the synchroynizingv pulse output of a magnetostrictive device constructed in accordance with the present invention; and
Figs. 6 and '7 are each plan vviews of modifications of the device of Fig. l.
Referring now to Figs. 1 and 2, there is shown a magnetostrictive core assembly comprising a plurality of hollow tubular members I0. In a Ypreferred embodiment the material of which the members I0 is composed may be nickel, although various alloys of iron and chromium may also be used. The tubular members lil are preferably positioned side-by-side in parallel relation as illustrated, but they may, if desired, be associated in any other suitable closely-grouped manner. A coil i2 encircles one portion of the core assembly, and'serves as a medium whereby applied electrical energy may be Vconverted into mechanical vibrations in the core. This electrical energy is in Vthe form of a series of regularly recurring pulses lli, having sharply rising leading edges, which are applied to the coil input terminals I6. A second coil i3 encircles another portion of the core assembly. The terminals 20 of this coil serve as the output terminals of the system. A pair of permanent magnets 22 and 24 are respectively located at or near the ends of the core assembly and act to polarize the latter in a known manner, although other means for obtaining this polarizing action may be employed, such, for eX- ample, as through the passage of a direct current through one or both of the windings l2 and The tubular members il! are of hollow configuration, as shown in Fig. 2, the wall of each tube being relatively thin in comparison with the outside diameter of the tube. For example, a device of the character described which successfully operated with a pulse input of approximately 15.75 kilocyclescomprised seven parallel tubes each 121/2 long, of .125 diameter, and having a wall thickness of .010. However, the dimensions of these tubes, as well as the number thereof, is obviously dependent upon the particular frequency to be passed and also upon the desired Q of the device. The latter factor may be altered by changing the anneal of the metal, while the former is related to the overall length of the parallel tube assembly, which should be proportional to l/fo where fo is the fundamental frequency of the input pulses I4. Also, for maximum eciency, the particular longitudinal portion of the tube assembly covered by each of the coils I2 and I8 should preferably not exceed onequarter wavelength of the maximum frequency to be passed by the device if the sharply risingedges of the pulses I4 are to be preserved.
The operation of the apparatus of Fig. 1 is such as to produce an output pulse whose waveform is dependent upon the relative positioning of the coils I2 and I8. One possible waveform is represented in the drawing, where it is identified by the reference numeral 2S. The theory underlying the operation of the apparatus is rather involved, and it is not deemed necessary to set it forth in detail in the present application. A simplified explanation, however, may be given with the aid of the graphs of Figs. 3 and 3a; In Fig. 3 is shown a vibrational wave A which is `induced in the core assembly of Fig. 1` when an input pulse I4 iiows through coil I2. The vibrational wave A travels toward one end of the core assembly. This same input vpulse I4 also induces in the core another vibrationall wave B which travels in the opposite direction toward the other end of the assembly. AUpon reaching their respective ends, the two waves are reflected back,
`and arrive at the output coil I8 with a particular phasedisplacement. By selectively positioning the coils I2 and I8, both withrespect to each other and with respect to the ends of the magnetostrictive coreassembly, this phase displacement may be such, in accordance with one mode of adjustment, that portions of these two waves having like polarity add together to produce a resultant wave 26 having an amplitude equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the component waves.
In Fig. 3a is illustrated the Imanner in which `the amplitude of an output pulse is increasedrelative tothe amplitude of the input pulses. 'I'his action may be termed pulse stacking, or pulse build-up. A pulse induced at one end of the magnetostrictive core assembly travels along the core until it reaches the opposite end of the assembly, whereupon it is reflected back toward the source. The time necessary for the induced pulse to make one complete journey along the core assembly and back to its starting point is equal to 2/10 or 127 microseconds when the fundamental frequency fn is equal to 15.75 kilocycles.
In one physical embodiment of the device, the magnetostrictive core assembly resonated at onehalf this fundamental frequency fo. Accordingly, at any one instant one induced pulse may be viewed as making its initial journey from the input coil to one end of the assembly, and another induced pulse may be viewedY as traveling from that end of the assembly back to the input coil. By the time that the first induced pulse has returned to its starting point, a second induced pulse has already traveled the length of the core, and the next following, or third, pulse is at that precise moment being induced. Similarly, when the second induced pulse arrives back at its original starting point, the fourth successive input pulse is then being applied. Consequently, it will iii) be seen that the even-numbered input pulses will in effect add together, and in asimilar manner the odd-numbered input pulses will also be additive.
Fig. 3a shows how successive reflections of an induced pulse result in the amplitude a, of this pulse being steadily attenuated until the time when, at its nth reflection, it is of negligible amplitude an. The number of such reflections or, in other words, the value of n, varies in direct proportion to the Q of the core assembly.
The once-reflected pulse arrives back at its starting point at the precise instant when a new input pulse is induced having an amplitude equal to the amplitude of the reflected pulse before such reflection occurred. In a similar manner, the once-reflected pulse is again reilected,`and its transit time is such that it arrives back at the source just at the moment when still another input pulse is induced. Each successive reflection of the original pulse thus in effect boosts the original pulse amplitude by an amount equal to the amplitude of that particular reection. Consequently, the output pulse which may be obtained from the magnetostrictive assembly is effectively equal to the amplitude of one induced pulse plus the sum of the amplitudes of each successive reflection of that pulse. In this way, pulses representing the successive reiiections of an original pulse in eiect stack, or build-up,
one upon the other to a value which is dependent upon the total number of reflections.
The above' explanation has been intentionally condensed in order to simplify the description and drawings of the present application, and has accordingly omitted consideration of the eifects of the loss of the higher harmonics of the input frequency fc upon the degeneration of a normal waveform. For a more detailed discussion of this subject, reference is made to an article by G. Bradeld entitled A New Electro-Acoustic Transducer which appeared on pages T4-78, inclusive, of the March 1948 issue of the publication Electronic Engineering.
It has been found that the magnetostrictive apparatus of Fig. 1 is particularly eifective in suppressing noise or other interference which is present in the input wave along with the regularly recurring pulses I4. This attenuation is substantially in proportion to the Q of the device, and hence, by raising the latter, it is possible to provide almost complete rejection of spurious noise impulses. However, there are many applications in which a relatively low Q is actually preferable in order to provide .a sufliciently wide passband to allow for a certain amount of frequency drift in the incoming pulse train. In practice, the Q of a device constructed in accordance with the showing of Fig. l, and having the dimensions above given, has been varied from a low of about eight to a high of several thousand.
The magnetostrictive device of the present invention thus derives its high efliciency from a number of factors. Since previously used magnetostrictive mechanisms usually included a single rod or bar, the output was severely limited by eddy currents induced in the bar, and also by the loss of the higher harmonics of the input energy Wave through radial dispersion within the material of the bar. In accordance with the present invention, these losses are greatly reduced by making the tubular members IE! of hollow configuration. 'I'he thinness of the walls of these tubes acts to preclude any appreciable radialdispersion .of high-harmonic energy and to substantially eliminate the formation of eddy currents. Although, for a single tube, this would also correspondingly reduce the total longitudinal transmission of energy, nevertheless the use of a plurality of parallel tubes permits this aggregate amount of transmitted energy to reach a satisfactory level.
Fig. 4 is a graph illustrating a typical frequency response characteristic for a magnetostrictive device constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. By varying the design of the individual magnetostricticn tubes, the frequency characteristic may be made almost any desired arbitrary function between the upper and lower cutoff limits of the assembly. For instance, as illustrated in Fig. 4, the overall assembly may be made to possess extremely sharp cutoffs, with each of the tubes lil giving in effect the equivalent of an isolated pole. Also, the Q of each tubular member l may be preselected over a Wide range to further increase the vdesigners control of the frequency response characteristic.
The device above described is particularly suited for use in a television receiving system where it acts to maintain precise synchronization between the corresponding scanning generators at the transmitter and receiver. It is well known in the art that loss of synchronization frequently occurs due to the reception of spurious signals Which are of such amplitude and/or frequency relative to the synchronizing pulses as to cause premature operation of the deflection circuit at the receiver. Not only does applicants magnetostrictive apparatus greatly reduce the possibility of such an occurrence but, as will be subsequent* ly brought out, it also permits a simplification of the circuits normally required for image reproduction.
Referring now to Fig. 5, there is shown a portion of a television receiving system utilizing the synchronizing pulse output of a magnetostrictive device constructed in attendance with the present invention. The circuit illustrated is designed to bring about a horizontal, or line, deilection of the cathode ray scanning beam of an image-reproducing tube, and at the same time maintain this deflection in synchronism with the corresponding movement of another cathode ray beam in the camera, or pickup, tube at the transmitter.
Accordingly, let it be assumed that the device of Fig. l is adapted to receive a series of input pulses Hl which constitute the horizontal synchronizing pulses derived from a composite television signal, the latter being acted upon by suitable means (not shown) which separates these horizontal synchronizing pulses from the video portion of the signal. The input pulses, which may for example be of an amplitude designated as H in Fig. 1, are applied across the terminals l of the input coil I2, and, after being taken oi across the output terminals 2li of coil vI S', have the waveform indicated by the numeral 26. The height of each output pulse Will thus be n2.H, where n2 is in effect the amplication factor of the magnetostrictive device. While this Ylatter factor may vary considerably in practice, it has been found that a value of approximately l is adequate. The fundamental frequency fc of the pulses lli is of course the presently standard herizontal line frequency of 15,750 cycles per second.
Referring again to Fig. 5, it will be seen that this output wave 26. taken from across the terminals 20 in Fig. l, is applied to the deflection circuit input terminal 28. Since only the negative portion of this wave 26 is to be used, a diode rectifier 30 is connected as a clipper so as to conduct on the positive portions of the wave. The resulting pulses, after being amplified in substantially linear fashion by a further tube 32, appear with positive polarity on the plate of this tube as shown at 34.
The pulses 34 are now applied to the control electrode of a further tube 36 which may be the usual discharge tube customarily found in television deflection circuits. This tube 36 is normally biased beyond cut-off by connecting the lower terminal 38 of grid resistor 4U to a suitable source of negative potential. Thus the discharge tube 36 is normally non-conductive except during the time intervals that the positive pulses 3d are applied to the control electrode thereof.
A capacitor 42 is arranged to be charged through a resistor 44 from a source of positive potential, B+, connected to the terminal 46. Accordingly, a normal cycle of operation will nd the charge on capacitor 42 rising substantially linearly during the time that tube 35 is cut off". Arrival of a pulse 34 on the grid of tube 36, however, renders the latter conductive to discharge capacitor 42, and thus there is generated a varying voltage for application to the control electrode 50 of the horizontal power output tube 52. The latter is adapted to produce a sawtooth Wave of current which ows through the horizontal deflection coils and results in a linear movement of the cathode ray scanning beam of the image-reproducing tube (not shown). It will be noted vthat the Waveform 53 of the voltage on the grid 50 of the power output tube 52 has a substantially flat upper portion 54, this being caused by the flow of grid current in output tube 52 when the applied voltage 53 reaches a predetermined value.
It will be appreciated that the deflection circuit of Fig. 5 functions Without the use of the usual relaxation oscillator and thus is less complex than are the circuits presently employed in production. While the disclosed arrangement has been constructed and found to perform satisfactorily, no attempt has been made to arrive at the minimum number of components which are necessary for satisfactory operation. For example, under certain circumstances the amplifier tube 32 might be eliminated, and the pulses 26 derived from the coil I8 (Fig. l) in positive polarity.
In one physical embodiment of the present invention the magnetostrictive tube assembly had an effective Q of approximately 30. An amplitude-limited signal comprising synchronizing pulses and randomly-spaced noise impulses of identical amplitude was applied to the input terminals I6 of the magnetostrictive assembly. It was then found that the noise impulses appeared at the output terminals 20 with an amplitude equal to only l/so of the height mi! of the desired synchronizing pulses. A noise pulse of this relative amplitude has no appreciable effect upon the operation of the disclosed deflection circuit.
Another advantage provided by the magnetostrictive device of the present invention is that an output pulse may be obtained therefrom which is advanced in phase with respect to the input pulse due to the relative positioning of the input and output coils. This can best be comprehended by visualizing each output pulse as resulting from the combined action of many previous input pulses 'each of which undergo-es multiple reflections Which are' 'so time-related as to stack,` or build-up in amplitude. Consequently, although any particular output pulse is made up of many component pulses each of which has undergone various periods of time-delay, nevertheless, each output pulse may occur at the precise instant when a new input pulse is induced in the magnetostrictive core assembly. It may also'occur prior thereto when the output coil is so adjusted in position as to derive a voltage from the reilected pulses at a time when the latter possess different phase relationships. The above feature is of importance in applications where the output pulse is used as a timing or synchronizing signal, since the availability of a phase-advanced triggering pulse reduces theY time interval within which the following circuits must operate to achieve a precisely coordinated condition. In other words, the responsiveness of many of the circuit components may be made less critical, with a consequent saving in manufacturing costs.
In Fig. 6 there is illustrated a modification of the magnetostrictive device of Fig. 1 in which the tubes III are each composed of at least two different materials. It has been found advantageous in certain applications to employ a material having a certain Q for that section of each member I which is encircled by one of the coils I2 and I8, and then to employ a material having a different Q for the remaining section of the member lying between such coils. In Fig. 6, for example, the sections I Ba and Ib of each tubular member I Il which are encircled respectively by the coils I2 and I8 may be composed of a magnetostrictive material such as nickel having a de- 1 sired magnetic permeability, but a relatively low Q. The remaining section Ic lying between the coils may be composed of a material having a much higher Q, such as steel or magnesium, the magnetic permeability of the section IIlc being of no significance. When these portions are properly welded together at I la-and II b, very'little reflection of energy will occur at the joints, and it has been found possible to raise the Q of the section IUc to a value of several thousand while the end pieces I Ia and I 0b each have a Q below 100.
Fig. 7 illustrates a modication of Fig. 1 in which a single coil I2a serves as both the input and output section of the system. In other words,
the input pulse energy is caused to ow through the coil 12a, with the latter acting in addition as the source of output voltage when employed in connection with any suitable form of conventional separating circuit (not shown). The overall length of the tube assembly in Fig. '7 is one-half of Fig. 1, or l/gfo, and has a time delay of 31.75 microseconds when f0=15.l5 kilocycles as in the illustration above given.
While the magnetostrictive core assembly of applicants invention has been illustrated as having particular longitudinal dimensions, it will be appreciated that pulse stacking will occur with other cores the fundamental resonant frequency of which is equal either to n times the repetition frequency of the input pulses, or, alternatively, to l/n times such pulse repetition frequency. The fundamental resonant frequency of the core accordingly may be broadly expressed by the formula n+1.f, where n is a small integer and f is the repetition frequency of the input pulses.
While the magnetostrictive devices of the present invention are particularly adapted for use in television receiving circuits, it will be readily appreciated that they may be incorporated in many other types of'circuit arrangements, such as those found in radar systems and multi-path telephony. They may also be useful in measuring the thickness of partially inaccessible objects as well as for the detection of aws in metals.

Baylor releases pictures of their new uniforms (PHOTOS)
Sep 12, 2013, 2:15 PM EDT
Earlier this week, Kansas released their new uniform design in a video of Andrew Wiggins at a GQ photo shoot.
Baylor wasn't quite as extravagant in their announcement, as the official men's basketball twitter feed posted two pictures on Wednesday night of this season's uniforms:
And the shorts:
I like it.
It seems like Adidas is really going for the whole shoulder stripes look this year, and while some folks have pushed back against it, I like it.
At least the color of the jerseys don't require sunglasses to look at them.

Check these out, too...
#1 Oatmeal—healthy when ya make it at home and keep the yummy add-ins like brown sugar to a minimum.
But even if you get it without the brown sugar at McDonald's, you're still eating 18 g of sugar. That's a lot—more than 4 teaspoon-fulls of sugar and 6 g short of what nutritionists recommend you consume on a daily basis.
#2 The McWrap--yeah, we know it sounds like a healthy fast food sandwich option, but it's not.
Even when you opt for grilled over fried—ahem, crispy—you're still ingesting at least a quarter of your recommended fat intake for the day and half your recommended sodium. And that's without fries and a soft drink.
#3 Chocolate milk is now fat-free—awesome! Except, not.
Know how dairy companies make fat-free chocolate milk taste good? More sugar—think 22 g worth in this case.
#4 Whole wheat buns FTW! But, wait…
Only one of their buns has whole wheat flour, and it's not even the first ingredient (that would be enriched white flour, thank you very much—the only flour included in the other buns). McD's boasts 8 g of whole grains in their buns, but even that is only half of a full serving, per the USDA. Weirder? If you're eating real whole grain bread, one one-ounce slice is one 16 g serving. Hm.
#5 Just 'cause it's fruity doesn't mean it's health food
Case in point? The Wild Berry Smoothie, which packs 54 g of sugar. To be fair, fruit does have natural sugar. But generally speaking, not that much sugar.
Bottom line: No matter where you eat, it's important to look beyond the surface. When you're picking out bread at the grocery store, analyze the label before tossing it in the cart. Check out the additives in your favorite yogurt. Even if you're not going to change the way you eat, it's important to know what, exactly, your putting in your body. Consider balancing high sugar snacks with fiber and protein, or making easy swaps elsewhere to lighten up your daily dish.

Chinese Stocks Open Lower As Margin Debt Tumbles To 4-Month Lows, Regulators Probe Officials' SalesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/29/2015 21:18 -0400
Following last night's afternoon session melt-up at the hands of a $100bn injection into China's sovereign rescue fund, Chinese stocks opened higher but faded fast, with no follow-through from yesterday's farce. With Warren Buffett's favorite indicator flashing red for China (and US) stocks, and so many rural Chinese citizens "just hoping to get out at breakeven," any assistance in levitating the nation's stocks are simply being sold into as margined traders unwind their positions. One such leveraged 'citizen' is none other than State-Owned-Enterprise GM Yang Shengjun, whose firm was ironically among the most vocal in blaming the crash on "malicious foreign sellers trying tio start an economic war" and is now under investigation for dumping his own shares... do as I say Chinese people, not as I do.

Earnings And Guidance Suddenly Matter? Say It Ain't So...Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/24/2015 10:31 -0400
We are seeing a kind of flight forward by investors – promises of future returns that may or may not eventuate continue to be highly rewarded – no price seems too high. This is actually a fairly typical bubble phenomenon. It is impossible to say for how long it will continue and how far it will go, but it is possible to say how it will end: in tears, especially for Johnny-come-lately investors.

'Buffett' Says Sell; BofAML Asks, Should We Listen?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/21/2015 18:15 -0400
When Janet Yellen speaks, investors buy stocks (whether she tells you stock valuations are 'substantialy stretched' or not). When Warren Buffett speaks, investors listen... so when his favorite indicator is flashing a huge "sell signal" trading 80% 'expensive' to its long-term average, perhaps, as BofAML suggests, it is time to listen.

The Crony Capitalist Pretense Behind Warren Buffett's Banking BuysSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/12/2015 19:05 -0400

When Warren Buffet put $5 billion in Berkshire Hathaway funds into Goldman Sachs the week after Lehman failed, amidst total turmoil and panic, it appeared from the outside a high risk bet. Buffet had long tried to portray himself as a folksy engine of traditional stability, investing only in things he could understand, so jumping into a wholesale run of chained liabilities may have seemed more than slightly out of character. We have no particular issue with Buffet making those investments, only the pretense of intentional mysticism that surrounds them. The reason the criticism of crony-capitalism sticks is because this was not Buffet's first intervention to "save" a famed institution on Wall Street. If Buffet's convention is to stick with "things you know" then he has been right there through the whole of the full-scale wholesale/eurodollar revolution.

A Serial Short Seller Asks "Do Governments & Central Banks Ever Lose?"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/10/2015 13:40 -0400
It's true that "the authorities" want the price of financial assets (stocks, bonds) to go up, and the price of hard assets (commodities) to go down… which is exactly what has happened. So do governments and central banks ever lose? In the old days, they lost all the time. In one extreme example, an individual hedge fund took out the entire Bank of England. But central banks are currently on a massive winning streak. So to answer the question, "Will we ever have a crisis," you need to answer the question, "Will we ever be allowed to have one?"

Whole Foods, Half LiesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/04/2015 18:20 -0400
Whole Foods has just been caught ripping-off customers, above and beyond their typical rip-off prices. So what does Whole Foods' leadership finally do about the recent pricing scandal? Create a feel-good advertisement! No staff changes nor any attempt at financial regress for the systematic and ongoing misconduct. They've already double bagged and taken home those ill-gains. Even worse, as we show, even the most fair mis-pricing will generally be "straight up" not fair.

Train Carrying Toxic Gas Derails In Tennessee, Catches Fire; Thousands EvacuatedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/02/2015 07:44 -0400
Remember when oil pipelines were at risk of spilling and as a result the progressive movement decided it would be far safer to transport US oil by train, because supposedly trains are so much safer for the environment, only to lead to a record surge in oil-carrying train accidents and derailments? Well, not even the most hardline of environment-friendlies could have anticipated what happened overnight in Blount County, Tennessee after a freight train derailed carrying flammable and poisonous material caught on fire on Wednesday night, leading to the evacuation of as many as 5000 residents from their homes.

The Warren Buffett Economy, Part 5: Why Its Days Are NumberedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/16/2015 19:30 -0400
Today's style of heavy-handed monetary central planning destroys capitalist prosperity. Real capitalism cannot thrive unless inventive and enterprenurial genius is rewarded with outsized fortunes. Warren Buffett's $73 billion net worth, and numerous like and similar financial gambling fortunes that have arisen since 1987, are not due to genius; they are owing to adept surfing on the $50 trillion bubble that has been generated by the central bank Keynesianism of Alan Greenspan and his successors.
