1. An elevator system, comprising:
a controller having an electronic processor coupled to a memory;
a plurality of elevator cars controllably connected to said controller, a dual lobby routine stored within said memory, said dual lobby routine including instructions for dispatching at least one of said elevator cars to a lower lobby during up-peak, indicating a sector assigned to said car, dispatching said car to the upper lobby if a first load weight threshold is exceeded and a second load weight threshold is not exceeded or if a car call to the upper lobby is registered, and then indicating the sector assigned to said car while said car is located at the upper lobby, said second load weight threshold being equal to at least two times said first load weight threshold, and wherein said instructions further include instructions for nudging doors of said at least one elevator car closed prior to dispatching said car to the upper lobby.
1. Technical Field
The present is directed to elevator dispatching, and more particularly, to optimizing channeling in which floors above the main floor or lobby during up-peak are grouped into sectors, with each sector including a set of contiguous floors and with each sector assigned to a car.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Elevator performance throughout the morning up-peak period is measured, among other criteria, by the speed in which people are moved from the lobby to their respective landings within the building. The time spent by a passenger during a typical up-peak run can be broken into two major phases: waiting time at the lobby and service time to their landing.
During the up-peak period, when two cars leave the lobby partially loaded within a predetermined period of time, the elevator dispatching system typically recalls all elevator cars to the lobby to handle traffic in-coming from the lobby. Hence, a well-known channeling operation is typically activated.
Well-known electronic computer implemented dispatching routines such as channeling enhance elevator system performance during up-peak by reducing the service time for each passenger, while having a minimal effect on the waiting time at the lobby. This enhancement is accomplished by grouping passengers going to the same general area of the building into the same car. Floors above the lobby are divided into sectors. When a car is approaching the lobby, the channeling routine chooses a sector for the car so that the car will only serve floors contained within that sector. The service time (and round trip time) of the car is decreased because of the smaller number of landings being served by the car. See, for example, known channeling routines and implementations disclosed and described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,792,019, Contiguous Floor Channeling With Up Hall Call Elevator Dispatching, Issued Dec. 20, 1988; U.S. Pat. No. 4,804,069, Contiguous Floor Channeling Elevator Dispatching, Issued Feb. 14, 1989; U.S. Pat. No. 4,846,311, Optimized "Up-Peak" Elevator Channeling System With Predicted Traffic Volume Equalized Sector Assignments, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,183,981, "Up-Peak" 0 Elevator Channeling System With Optimized Preferential Service To High Intensity Traffic Floors, which are all hereby incorporated in their entireties by reference.
During one known channeling operation, a group controller or an operational control sub-system divides a building into sectors. The number of sectors is equal to the number of cars in operation (or service) minus one. The size of each sector includes an equal number of floors being served.
The '019 patent teaches a typical channeling routine as shown, for example, in FIGS. 2A-2C herein, which correspond to FIGS. 2A-2C of U.S. '019. Four elevator cars 1-4 which are part of a group elevator system, serve a building having a plurality of floors, e.g. 13, above a lobby; see FIG. 1 herein which corresponds to FIG. 1 of '019. Each car 1-4, contains a car operating panel 12 through which a passenger makes a car call to a floor by pressing a button, producing a signal (CC) identifying the floor to which the passenger intends to travel. On each of the floors, there is a hall fixture 14 through which a hall call signal (HC) is provided to indicate the intended direction of travel by a passenger on the floor. At the lobby (L), there is also a hall call fixture 16 through which a passenger calls the car to the lobby. The depiction in FIG. 1 illustrates cars selected during an up-peak period at which time the floors 2-13, above the main floor, are divided into three sectors, each sector containing four floors. Each of the sectors, which are contiguous, is served by only one of the four cars 1-4 at any time. Such channeling operation is explained in more detail in the flow charts of FIGS. 2A-2C, steps S1-S31, all as shown, described and well-known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,792,019, previously incorporated in its entirety by reference. As shown in FIG. 1, one car, e.g. car 1, is left free. Each car 1-4 will only respond to car calls that are made in the car from the lobby to floors that coincide with the floors in the sector assigned to the car. The car 4, for instance, responds only to car calls made at the lobby to floors 10-13.
The present inventors believe that known channeling routines operate from only one lobby. An adjacent floor to the lobby, such as a subway entrance below the lobby, with heavy up-peak traffic might have long waiting times as the up-peak traffic might not be properly served in, e.g., a dual lobby building having an upper lobby (UL) and a lower lobby (LL). Elevator systems which service a building having a lobby, basement and sub-basement are known; see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,357,997, Husson et al., Nov. 9, 1982.
The present inventors believe that improvements in elevator service in buildings having dual lobbies can be achieved by employing an elevator system including a controller having an electronic processor coupled to a memory, and a dual lobby routine stored within the memory. The dual lobby routine of the present invention includes instructions for dispatching an elevator car to a lower lobby during up-peak, indicating a sector assigned to the car, nudging (if needed) the elevator car if either a lower lobby dispatching time-out, a particular load weight threshold or a lower lobby demand time-out is exceeded, dispatching the elevator car to the upper lobby if a second load weight threshold is not exceeded or if a car call in the car is requested for the upper lobby, and then indicating the sector assigned to the elevator while the car is disposed or located at the upper lobby.
The elevator system of the present invention serves both lobbies simultaneously. When an elevator car returns from an up-peak run, the car will assign itself to a sector and stop at the lower lobby. After a period of time, the car is dispatched to the upper lobby to handle the additional up-peak traffic for the same sector.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the present invention to increase overall elevator system performance.
It is an additional object of the present invention to increase elevator system performance during up-peak periods.
It is a still further object of the present invention to service dual lobbies efficiently within a building.
Further and still other objects of the present invention will become more readily apparent in view of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the following drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an elevator system comprising a four car group serving 12 floors above a single lobby;

FIG. 7 shows schematic block diagrams of controllers each having a respective CPU coupled to a respective memory M.
In FIG. 1, four elevator cars 1-4, which form part of a group elevator system, serve a building having a plurality (e.g., 13) of floors. Each car 1-4 contains a car operating panel 12 through which a passenger makes a car call to a floor by pressing a button producing a signal CC identifying the floor to which the passenger intends to travel. On each of the floors, there is a hall fixture 14 through which a hall call signal HC is provided to indicate the intended direction of travel by a passenger on the floor. At the lobby L, there is a hall call fixture 16 through which a passenger calls the car to the lobby. In FIG. 1, the floors 2-13, above the main floor or lobby, are divided into three sectors, each sector containing four floors. The sectors are contiguous and each of the sectors is served by only one of the four cars 1-4 at any one time; leaving one car, e.g., car 1, free. One channeling routine according to the prior art ('019 patent) is disclosed in FIGS. 2A-2C herein, in which N=number of sectors, NC=number of cars, SN is the sector number while CN is the car number. Each car 1-4 will only respond to car calls that are made in the car from the lobby to floors that coincide with the floors in the sector assigned to the car. The car 4, for instance, will only respond to car calls made at the lobby to the floors 10-13. The car will take passengers from the lobby to those floors (10-13) (provided car calls are made to those floors) and then return to the lobby empty, unless it is assigned, using other dispatching sequences or routines, to answer an up or down hall call that has been made on one of the floors. See, for example, such other dispatching sequences or routines which are accessed during the up-peak (channeling) condition: U.S. Pat. No. 4,363,381 to Bittar, Relative System Response Call Assignments, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,142 to Bittar, Dynamically Reevaluated Elevator Car Call Assignments, which are all hereby incorporated in their entireties by reference.
To implement the instant invention as shown in FIGS. 4A-4C for the dual lobby situation of FIG. 3, each car 1-4 is connected to a drive and motion control 30. Each of these motion controls 30 is connected to a group controller 32. Although it is not shown, each car's position in the building would be served by the controller through a position indicator as shown in the previous patent '142 to Bittar. The controls 30,32 contain CPUs (central processing units or signal processors) for executing instructions, and for processing data from the elevator system. Respective instructions and data are stored, e.g., in well known fashion in respective memories M of the controller 30,32; see FIG. 7. The group controller 32, using signals from the drive and motion controls 30, sets the sectors that will be served by each of the cars. Each motion control 30 receives the HC and CC signals and provides a drive signal to the service indicator SI. Each motion control also receives data from the car that it controls on the car load via LW (Load Weight) signal. It also measures the lapsed time while the doors are open at the lobby (the "dwell time", as it is commonly called). The drive and motion controls and group controls are shown in a very simplified manner herein because numerous patents and technical publications showing details of drive and motion controls and group controllers for elevators are available. See an alternative group control arrangement as shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,202,540 which is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference. It is assumed therefore that the CPUs in the controllers 30,32 are suitably programmable to carry out the routines described herein to effect the dual lobby dispatching operation of this invention at a certain time of day (e.g., up-peak) or under settled building conditions, and it is also assumed that at other times the controllers are capable of accessing or calling different dispatching routines, for instance, the routines shown in the aforementioned Bittar patents. This system can collect data on individual and group demands throughout the day to arrive at a historical record of traffic demands for each day of the week and compare it to actual demand to adjust the overall dispatching sequences to achieve a prescribed level of system and individual car performance.
Following such an approach, car loading and lobby traffic may also be analyzed through a signal LW, from each car, that indicate the car load. Actual lobby traffic may also be sensed by using a people sensor (not shown) in the lobby. U.S. Pat. No. 4,330,836 to Donofrio et al. on an "Elevator Cab Load Measuring System" and U.S. Pat. No. 4,303,851 to Mottier on a "People and Object Counting System", both assigned to Otis Elevator Company, show approaches that may be employed to generate those signals. Using such data and correlating it with the time of day and the day of the week and the actual entry of car calls and hall calls, a meaningful demand demograph can be obtained for allocating the sectors throughout the up-peak period by using a signal processing routine that implements the sequences described on the flow chart comprising FIGS. 2A-B in order to minimize the waiting time from the upper lobby.
According to the invention as shown in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 4A-4C, a dual lobby program controls the elevator cars in the group to serve an upper lobby and a lower lobby, in order to minimize waiting times from the lower and upper lobbies. The dual lobby routine is stored, for example, in any appropriate memory M of the group controller 32 (e.g., ROM/EEPROM etc.) or of an operational control subsystem (not shown) of any other controller such as that shown and described in previously incorporated U.S. Pat. No. 5,202,540. The routine of FIGS. 4A-4C can interact with any of the known channeling routines at any appropriate locations in the known routines, which locations are matters of design choice. For example, the dual lobby routines of FIGS. 4A-4C can be entered between steps S7, S8 and exited between steps S16 and S17 of FIGS. 2A-2C.
As shown in routine of FIG. 4A according to the invention, is the group on channeling, step 100, if NO, proceed to normal operation such as known RSR routines, step 105. If YES in step 100, any demand for the car (such as from car calls) step 110; if YES, proceed to step 115. If NO in step 110, proceed to step 120 which will assign a sector (e.g., oldest) to the car according to, for example, a step identical to the step S9 of the known channeling routine of FIG. 2A. The "oldest" sector is, for example, the most aging sector--sector having longest period since last assigned a car. After a sector is assigned in step 120, the car continues to proceed to the lower lobby (LL) at which lower lobby it displays or otherwise indicates its sector assignment and opens its doors, steps 125 and 130. Thereafter, the car remains at the lower lobby until a contracted period of time has expired (lower lobby dispatching time-out), step 135, or the car's capacity has exceeded a pre-defined threshold, for example 30% of full a capacity, step 140, or a lower lobby demand time-out is exceeded, step 145. If any of the steps 135, 140, 145 is YES, the car will attempt to close its doors and proceed to the upper lobby--nudge doors if needed, step 150. Nudging is defined as controlling the car doors (with reversal disabled) such that they begin to close at a reduced and safe speed after a predetermined time period (e.g., 20 seconds).
If the car has reached a certain capacity (e.g., 80% of full capacity) at the lower lobby, the car will not stop at the upper lobby to pick-up more passengers unless it has a coincident car call at the upper lobby, steps 155, 160. If NO in step 155 or YES in step 160, the car will stop at the upper lobby, step 165, display or otherwise indicate its sector assignment and then open its doors, step 170. The car will remain at the upper lobby until a contracted time period has expired (upper lobby dispatching time-out?--step 175), or its capacity has exceed another predefined threshold, (for example, 50% of full capacity--step 180), or an upper lobby demand time-out is exceeded, step 185. In this case, demand is a car call registered from the car. Upper lobby demand time-out is defined as, e.g., the car remained at the upper lobby beyond a pre-defined time period. At a minimum, the car remains at the upper lobby for, for example, five seconds prior to serving a landing in its assigned sector. If any of the steps 175, 180, 185 is YES, nudge doors if needed, step 190.
If a car assigns itself to a sector while at the lower lobby and does not receive any demand (car call) after a specified time-out (step 145), the car will travel to the upper lobby in an attempt to serve demand within its assigned sector. If the car does not have any demand at the upper lobby after a specified time-out (step 185), the car will be de-assigned from its sector and return to the lower lobby to serve a new sector steps 120, 125.
It should be understood that in step 130, for example, a sector assignment need not be visually displayed, but can be indicated in any suitable manner to a passenger such as by audio or other means. See, for example, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/222,135, filed Apr. 1, 1994, by Bok S. Ng, assigned to Otis Elevator Company, which is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference. The U.S. application '135 discloses an audio direction and information system for elevator passengers. A speaker system is provided adjacent to a gate of each of a plurality of elevator cars in each floor of a building. The speaker systems announce messages such as the car number of the next car in either direction, an estimated time of arrival of the car, that the car is full, an approximate delay for service by a next car to come, a car number and floor numbers being served by each loading elevator during up-peak with channeling. Speaker systems are put on the doors of each stairwell on every floor, thereby to direct passengers toward the stairs in case of an emergency. The system not only provides information and identification, but also provides audible directional cues to assist the passengers in locating the service which they are to seek.
Alternative dual lobby routines which embody principles of the present invention are shown, for example, in the steps of FIGS. 5A-5B herein and, for example, in the steps of FIGS. 6A-6D herein.
While there has been shown and described what is at present considered preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention which shall be limited only by the appended claims.

Death Valley Sunset
Sometimes the light gods watch over you. This image was made on a trip back from Beatty, NV. This is a small town of about a 1000 people living in the absolute middle of no where. More on Beatty in another post sometime. As I was returning to Death Valley I looked west and saw these clouds. I pushed it and crested the top of the mountain and looked down in the valley back to Furnace Creek and this is what I was greeted with. It was made with a 28mm lens on an IQ180 Phase One camera. Sometimes you just luck out.

While photographing in Death Valley I visited the Artist Pallet are to shoot sunset. There on the side of the road was this motorcycle guy leaning back on his bike watching the mountains light up in all the magic they do. I went p to take pictures and I started talking to this guy. Turns out he has been cruising the highways for 17 years. everything he owns or needs is packed on the back of this bike. I asked if he would pose for some shots and he was more than cooperative. This is the result of the shot. I did some post work on this image in Photoshop to make it a bit different.

New Mexico State-Utah State Rivalry
The Utah State Aggies hold a 27-7 advantage over the New Mexico State Aggies, but NM State holds an important victory over Utah State in 1960, beating USU in the Sun Bowl, 20-13. Since that win, NM State has won just six games in the series, three at home and three in Logan, Utah, including a 20-17 win in 2009 in Las Cruces. It was the Aggies' second win in the series since the 2003 season. At one point in the series, Utah State held a 19-game winning streak from 1968 to 1998.
Five of the seven NM State wins have been by eight points or less with the biggest margin of victory of 22 points coming in 2007. Since 1985, NM State and Utah State have been conference members in four different conferences (Pacific Coast, Big West, Sun Belt and WAC).
Scouting Utah State
A third-year head coach in Gary Anderson leads the 2011 edition of the Utah State Aggies football team. The Aggies have faced a very tough non-conference schedule in 2011 with games against Auburn, Colorado State, Wyoming and BYU. Utah State stands at 6-5, 4-2 coming into the game with NM State. Utah State is 2-3 on the road this season.
The Aggies are scoring 35.5 points per game and are racking up 453.5 yards of total offense. Utah State has also scored 91 percent of the time in the red-zone. The Aggies' defense is allowing its opponents to score 28.9 points per game and record 365.4 yards of total offense a game.
Individually, the Aggies are led by quarterback Adam Kennedy. He leads the way with 786 passing yards in six games with seven touchdown passes. Robert Turbin leads the running backs with 1,318 yards rushing, averaging 6.5 yards per carry with 19 touchdowns, while Matt Austin has caught 29 passes for 433 yards and four touchdowns to lead the receivers.
Defensively, Bobby Wagner has 134 tackles on the season, including 9.5 tackles for a loss to lead the Aggies.
MN State's 1960 Sun Bowl Win over Utah State
New Mexico State, making its second consecutive appearance in the Sun Bowl, rallied from a 13-7 halftime deficit to defeat Utah State, 20-13.
NM State quarterback Charley Johnson threw for 190 yards and was tabbed the Sun Bowl's MVP for the second straight year. Johnson is the only player to earn the Sun Bowl's MVP honor twice.
The NM State defense held the nation's top offense to just 268 total yards.
Utah State's defense was equally as impressive. USU, led by future Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen, held the NM State offense to only 224 yards, including just 44 rushing yards on 32 carries.
Utah State took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, but Johnson connected with Pervis Atkins on a 3-yard pass to tie the game. Trailing 13-7, Aggie Bob Gaiters scampered 32 yards for a TD and Johnson hit E.A. Sims on a 7-yard pass for the final score.
Last Time against Utah State
The New Mexico State Aggies fell to the Utah State Aggies in Logan, Utah. NM State outgained Utah State in total offense 346 to 296, but was outscored 17-5 in the second half after holding a 17-10 lead at halftime.
Junior Matt Christian led the Aggies in passing with 191 yards and a touchdown, while also recording 41 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Sophomore running back Kenny Turner led the Aggies rushing and receiving, tallying 68 yards on 17 carries and 64 yards receiving on seven catches. Defensively for NM State, Alphonso Powell, Davon House and B.J. Adolpho all recorded seven tackles each.
Both teams were forced to punt on their first two possessions of the second half. Utah State took the ball 66 yards down the field, scoring on a 3-yard touchdown run by Diondre Borel to tie the game at 17 all with 2:50 left in the third quarter. Penalties kept the Utah State drive alive, allowing them to tie the game.
The Aggies were forced to punt giving Utah State good field position towards the end of the third quarter but the NM State defense held Utah State with 13:40 remaining in the game. The Aggies drove down inside Utah State's side of the field but was stuffed. Stampler came on to kick a career-long 48-yard field goal to give NM State a 20-17 lead with 9:29 to go in the game.
On the ensuing kickoff Utah State returned the ball to the NM State 27-yard line as the Aggies were flagged for a personal foul giving Utah State field position at the 12-yard line. Utah State then scored on the next play on a 12-yard run, giving Utah State a 24-20 lead with 9:07 to go in the game.
The NM State offense went three-and-out giving the ball back to Utah State with 7:33 left in the game. Utah State then ate up over four minutes on the clock, settling for a field goal, making it 27-20 with 2:44 remaining in the game. NM State took the ball over at its own 12-yard line. The Aggies drove the ball down to the Utah State 27-yard line with just under a minute left in the game but could not convert on fourth-and-three, turning the ball over on downs with 52 seconds left.
Utah State would kneel on the ball three times and on fourth down with eight seconds to go, Utah State took a safety in the endzone running the clock out. Despite the safety, Utah State won the game 27-22.
After a 37-yard kickoff return by Rogers, the Aggies drove 58 yards on 10 plays to take an early 7-0 capped off by a Christian 9-yard touchdown run with 9:33 left in the first quarter. The Aggies would take the ball over again after two punts by Utah State and marched down the field on five plays covering 86 yards, as Christian hit Todd Lee on a 32-yard touchdown pass. NM State took a 14-0 lead with 52 seconds left in the first quarter.
An 84-yard kickoff return by Utah State gave the Aggies the ball inside NM State's 10-yard line. Two plays later Utah State scored on a 2-yard run by Derrvin Speight, to pull within seven at 14-7, ending the first quarter.
Safety Alphonso Powell would intercept a Utah State pass to give the Aggies the ball back at the Utah State 31-yard line. The Aggies' offense couldn't get anything going but Tyler Stampler came in and hit a 46-yard field goal with 10 minutes left in the half to take a 17-7 lead.
Utah State then took the ball down into NM State territory but the Aggie defense held forcing Utah State to settle for a 44-yard field goal to bring to score to 17-10 in favor of NM State with 7:41 to go in the half. NM State and Utah State would be forced to punt on their next possessions. The Aggies would get the ball back right before the half but stalled, running the clock out and went into the locker room up 17-10.
Rogers is an All-Purpose Man
Kick returner/wide receiver Taveon Rogers continues to have a big year and is one of the nation's leaders in all-purpose yards per game, ranking first in the WAC and first in the nation. On the season, Rogers has 2,217 in all-purpose yards, averaging 201.5 yards per game. He has recorded five games with over 200 all-purpose yards, including 760 of those yards in the last three games.
Versus Fresno State, Rogers broke the single-game school mark for all-purpose yards in a game with 412, breaking Ron 'Po' James record that was set back in 1968.
Against Nevada, Rogers tallied 348 total yards, hauling in 207 yards receiving and 145 yards on kick returns. The 348 yards ranks second all-time in school history for all-purpose yards in a single-game.
For his career, Rogers has 3,968 all-purpose yards, which ranks him fourth all-time in the school's record book.
Colwell Not Playing like a Freshman
Freshman quarterback Travaughn Colwell has played in seven games for the Aggies in 2011. To date, Colwell has thrown for 419 yards and two touchdowns on 39-of-60 yards passing, completing 65 percent of his passes.
Colwell stated his first game as an Aggie against Louisiana Tech. He threw for 118 yards.
Against Georgia, Colwell came in late in the second quarter after an injury to Matt Christian. He proceeded to throw for a career-high 120 yards on 8-of-12 passing and a touchdown. Colwell did the same against Idaho, earlier in the year, throwing for 100 yards on 7-of-9 passing and a touchdown.
Turner Goes Over 1,000
Running back Kenny Turner rushed for 149 yards on 29 carries against Louisiana Tech. It was Turner's sixth 100-yard rushing game of the season. The 149 yards also pushed Turner over 1,000-yard mark for the season. He becomes the first Aggie to rush for 1,000 yards in a season since Seth Smith in 2009.
Turner leads the team with 1,009 yards rushing and nine touchdowns, averaging 84.1 yards a game and 4.9 yards a carry. He is also second on the team in receptions with 46 on the year, for 514 yards and three receiving touchdowns.
Turner has six 100-yard rushing games this year and 1,539 all-purpose yards. He is first on the team in scoring with 76 points. Turner ranks third in the WAC in rushing yards per game and ninth in points per game.

Rogers Return Man for NM State
Kick returner Taveon Rogers has broken three school records this season in the kicking game. Most recently, Rogers broke the single-season and career mark for most kick returns for a touchdown, after a 99-yard score against Fresno State. He now has three on the season and three in his career.
Rogers broke the NM State school record for return yardage in a career against Idaho with 171 yards on four returns. Rogers' 14-yard return in the third quarter gave him the record, which now stands at 2,251 yards for his career, breaking Ron 'Po' James' record which stood for 40 years (1971). Rogers tied James' record of returns in a career after the Hawai'i game but with seven returns against Nevada, Rogers smashed the long-standing record and now has returned 100 kickoffs in just two seasons.
His 100-yard kick return for a touchdown against Idaho gave him two touchdown returns for his career and on the season which ties him with four other Aggies who accomplished the feat.
For his career, Rogers has 101 returns for 2,671 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 26.4 yards a return. This season, Rogers has returned 49 kickoffs for 1,261 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 25.7 yards a return. Both the returns and yardage are in the top-10 for single season marks at NM State.

It was the first time since the 2003 season that an Aggie quarterback has rushed and thrown for over 100-yards each in a single game.
Christian made his first start under center for the Aggies against San Jose State. Christian threw for a then career-high 238 yards on 17-of-28 passing and a touchdown. He also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown.

Coleman's Makes Way into Record Books
Senior Safely Donyae Coleman grabbed his sixth interception of the season against Louisiana Tech. This puts Coleman in a tie at second for most interceptions in a season by an Aggie.
Coleman recorded a career-high 24 tackles against Nevada. He became the first defender to record 20+ tackles since Derrick Richardson at UTEP on 9/20/08 (21). Coleman now has six double-digit tackle games this season and nine for his career. His 24 tackles were just two short of the school record of 26 in a single game.
Coleman then recorded his 100th tackle in the first half against BYU. He is the fifth player in the last seven years to tally 100-plus tackles in a season. Coleman is also the first Aggie to lead the team in tackles in back-to-back seasons since Jimmy Cottrell in 2005 & 2006.
For his career, Coleman has 209 tackles, three and a half tackles for a loss, 17 pass break-ups, four fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles, a sack and six interceptions.
He currently ranks first in the WAC in interceptions and fifth in the nation. He is second in the WAC in tackles per game with 10.0 and 18th in the nation. Coleman also ranks first in the league in fumble recoveries and forced fumbles.
The Lineman Chart
The offensive line is a position in the game of football that has no stats or glory but could possibly be one of the most important positions on the field. Let's take a look at the grade sheet for the NM State offensive line in week 12 of the season.
Tackle Aundre McGaskey led the team with seven knockdowns against Louisiana Tech.

The pattern's a bit average in my opinion. I did a full bust adjustment which helped with the fit of the bodice, but where the shoulder straps meet is a bit wide (particularly shown below in the back view), and the straps are waaaay too long, and even after shortening them I've still added little bra loops to hold them up. However, the skirt is a nice amount of full-ness and a great summery length.
My favourite part about the dress is the fabric - it's a lovely Rayon fabric, which has a gorgeous drape, was lovely to sew with and even nicer to wear. I will definitely be looking out for more fabrics like it.

Salomon never fails!
I am a wilderness/paddling instructor and was looking for a solid set of water shoes to wear while instructing. These fit the bill perfectly! As with any water shoe, they let in a bit of sand, but it almost all drains out when you get out of the water. Great for both on land and in the water. As with most Salomon's products, I ordered a half size smaller and they fit perfectly!

SAN ANTONIO - Some frequent riders of VIA Metropolitan Transit said Tuesday that a proposal to raise fares will impact their lives.
"There's a lot of people trying to get to work. A lot of people depend on the bus," Armando Garcia said.
Santiago Robledo said his budget is already tight and he can't afford more than he already pays. He is a frequent rider.
"Every day twice a day, three or four times, because I have two jobs," he said. "I just think it's more than what it should be."
According to VIA's website, the proposed fare hikes include:
- Regular bus service - from $1.10 to $1.20
- Regular bus half fare - from 55 cents to 60 cents
- VIAtrans service - from $1.75 to $1.95
- Monthly Big Pass - from $30.00 to $35.00
- Monthly Big Pass half fare - from $15.00 to $17.50
Priscilla Ingle, vice president of public affairs for VIA, said the agency is playing catch-up. Fares have been the same since 2009, but operating costs have not.
"During that time, the cost to provide the service has increased, and the fares only pay for 17 percent of the cost of providing the trip," Ingle said.
Fuel is among the major costs, Ingle said. In 2009, VIA spent $13.3 million on fuel and in 2012 the agency spent $19.7 million.
Roberto and Lydia Sadiwa, who take VIA buses every day, think the proposed rates are reasonable due to the fuel costs incurred by VIA.
"I think that's fair enough, because everything's going up. We don't have any complaints," Lydia Sadiwa said.
The VIA Board will present the proposal to the Local Governmental Approval Committee for a vote. If the committee agrees with the board, the new fares would go into effect on Feb. 1, 2013.
VIA officials will hold a public meeting for citizens to discuss the proposed fare adjustments on Monday, Dec. 10 at 6 p.m. in the VIA Metro Center at 1021 San Pedro Avenue.

A minute in one's life can fly by without much even happening… A quick glance at your mobile phone, a third of your morning teeth brushing time, a quarter of your favourite song of the moment. But what happens when we combine our collective online minutes and condense them altogether? 204 million emails are sent, 6 million Facebook page views are racked up, 61,000 hours of music on Pandora blast out and 1.3 million video clips are streamed on YouTube. The figure might not mean a great deal, but 640,000 gigabytes of global IP data is transferred in just one average minute – an astonishing amount.
As the mobile internet boom continues to proliferate at jaw-dropping rates, this level of data transferral is only going to increase day-over-day, month-over-month, and year-over-year:
Today, the number of networked devices equals the world's population. By 2015, the number of networked devices is expected to be double the world's population. And by the time we reach 2015, it would take five years to view all the video content crossing IP networks each second. [Source: Intel]
The issue that rises is that many of us are increasing our standards for internet quality without realising that we are doing it. The handling capacity of service providers is keeping up with the curve and our experiences seem to be improving. However, will there be a tipping point where too much data is being transmitted and the condition of our connections become too volatile for us to remain pleased? It seems that the solutions are already in the pipeline. For example Intel's new project, codenamed "Crystal Forest", aiming to boost communications infrastructures to the point of extremely efficient processing with no compromises on security. Initiatives such as this should keeps us ticking over until we think of our next tweet.

hmmm- 56 miles to Lakewood from Newark. Good thing this guy is a reporter and not a math teacher.
There are many professional organizations that rate professionals such as the BBB. People can then choose to purchase their services if those people choose to subscribe to those rating services or not. Plus many organizations require additional training or those professionals (who are not in unions) will lose their licenses, so there are protections built in. In addition, what is sad, is that in many cities, restaurants are now rated, we will soon see calories posted on everything so we can make sound decisions on what we eat.. but yet, can't see a rating for a child's teacher. This IS what is wrong with our educational system today. Remember as the NJEA says... blocking the ratings are 'For the Children"
"This is a necessary question because the task force accurately reports that, no matter how you count it, New Jersey already has one of the highest high school graduation rates in the nation, so what's the point of such radical change?"- I bet when Trains were the main mode of transportation, Sam Goody's and Bradlees were store chains that were riding high, and in general the entire record and book industry were at their hey day, someone said, "why would we need radical changes, our sales are at record high's".
This should be true for any state employee that comes to Trenton to meet with the governor. This would include those who come in to discuss the pensions for public employees.
is this lawyers wife a school board member in another town? Isn't this some sort of conflict of interest?
If you are even remotely involved with your children's schools, you would know that this doesn't require additional headcount. What the additional funding is for is to create a 'stipend' to those folks who should be monitoring bullying in the schools anyway. It is ashame that the government has to come to this- but as a parent who had an administration try to completely hide an incident- I for one am happy that we now have this law. If paying a $2K stipend will help our poor teachers and administrators out and save the life of one tormented child- then let's fund this important initiative.
The president of the Pension Fund has asked that all Policeman who haven't been laid off who will be in AC for the 'convention' to not spend the money they earn from the tax payers gambling at a specific casino in order to hurt other people trying to make a living. He also proclaimed that he is out of touch, doesn't realize NJ casino's are losing money and maybe the union shouldn't be holding a convention during this time- but instead, should be saving that money and returning it to the public. Local 54 continues to persuade other conventioners to go elsewhere so the Trop continues to lose money so none of their members will have jobs. And we have unions why?
You are correct. It is tenure issues we should be discussing. Tenure also causes administrators to not effectively revue tenured staff because they know it is very hard to remove a teacher. When you receive tenure, you not only move up the scale for no other reason than being employed another year, but in many cases receive longevity pay- for being employed another year. This all adds to the reason why we need tenure reform that leads to merit pay.
He also isn't sure what happened to our tax money, all the benefits he promised unions, why our taxes have increased so much, where the pension money he never invested went, why our taxes increased and our roads, schools, pension system and everything else in the state is in dissaray, well.. you get the picture...
You are correct, makes you wish for Mr. "I'm not sure where they money is" Corzine, doesn't it?
Change is... holding your Democratic cronies accountable for their actions.
State Senate President Stephen Sweeney has said he is willing to talk about moving tenure reform said he won't get rid of seniority rules. He supports merit pay, but for schools, not individual teachers.
In the real world, there is no such thing as 'seniority rules' and how would 'merit pay for schools' work? I guess even the biggest slacking employee would get a share of the pool? I mean how can we ever make changes if these politicians keep getting elected and keep repeating the same things?
Which investment will Loretta sign us up for first, MF Holdings or Bernie Madoff's? Any thoughts?
and to belive that Bernie M. could return 100% on their investment!
I think this is a joke post. Corzine did the same exact thing in the state as he did to this company and in the process ruined the lives of many people.
Lesson for the kids: There is no free lunch
I brought up Sen. Doherty's Fair School Funding proposal during one of our Suburban School District's Board Meetings. The Democrats that run the board in our Republican town did not want to hear it because they felt it would lead to Vouchers- instead of the true issue- having the dollar follow the child and allowing tax money to stay in the district it is earned. Doherty is a smart man and more people should listen to him sooner.
And why did NJ liberal courts abolish the death penalty? Oh yeah, so cowards like this can kill/have their wives killed in front of their kids.
I can't believe I'm saying this.. Vote Sweeney and Oliver in the next election. This may be the best endorsement money could buy!!! (and since teachers dues are tax payers money anyway, how come they decide who gets endorsed?)
When candidate Obama was running (I know, not much of a difference between then and now), he promised to make the world less reliant on the US (remember, the world shouldn't rely on our currency) from a financial perspective and to change their opinions of us. I have to admit, for this, he is doing a wonderful job.

The Fifth Annual Spring Kickoff 2010 • Mar 28, 2010
Well, they did it again. The Fifth Annual Spring Kickoff to Geocaching was a huge, no, a HUGE, success! There were 175 Geocachers that attended the event from 112 Geocaching teams! It's getting bigger every year!
Canuck and Finn were kept very busy at the registration table getting everyone logged in:
It was a great time as we mingled about, chatted, laughed and relaxed with friends old and new. Stories were swapped, tales were told and plans were made for the upcoming months. The atmosphere, added to by the ambience of the pub, was one reminiscent of trappers coming in to town after a long winter. Mmmmm… there are a lot of similarities:

More Than 60 NY Companies Will Offer Free Samples and Sales
A visit to the 'Taste NY' Harvest Fest Saturday and Sunday in the Horticulture Building at the New York State Fairgrounds will be a feast for your tastebuds. The festival features more than 60 New York State food and drink companies, offering free samples of high quality products. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
The list of vendors shows companies from every corner of the state. Nineteen companies will offer samples of their wines, with twelve beer-makers also offering free tastings. Two firms will also offer samples of their vodkas, gins, or other spirits. Among the food offerings are several barbecue and hot sauces, relishes, mustards, chutneys, and other condiments. Festivalgoers will also find cookies, fudge, chocolates, peanut brittle, and dips. There will be products made from maple syrup, and sauces made from fresh tomatoes. There will be cheeses, cheese curds, olives, and sausages as well.
In addition, the Horticulture Building's regular food vendor will offer a small menu of fall-themed food for sale, including pumpkin ravioli with sage butter sauce, mini-pork skewers with apple brandy glaze, and squash bisque with crème fraiche.
"I know people will not go away hungry from the 'Taste NY Harvest Fest," said Acting Commissioner of Agriculture James B. Bays. "I also believe people will leave here with brand new food and drink favorites. That's what the Taste NY program is all about – exposing people to the wonderful products that New York companies grow and make."
A complete list of vendors and other information is available at the festival website, www.tastenyharvestfest.com.
The event will also provide an opportunity for people to learn about New York's wines. Jim Trezise of the New York Wine and Grape Foundation will conduct a free seminar at 1 p.m. Saturday to show people how to pair New York wines with cheeses and chocolates. At 3 p.m., Marty and Natalie Mattrazzo from FarmHouse Malt will discuss their journey into opening a craft brewery, where you can learn about growing malt barley for craft beer and malt production.
There will also be a free raffle for those who attend the event for a Taste NY Basket of Bounty, a basket full of great New York State food and drink products from the festival's vendors. No purchase is necessary to enter this random drawing and the winner does not need to be present to win.
Ticket sales for the event are $15 for purchases made in advance or $20 at the door. Children age 12 and under are admitted free. To purchase in person or by phone, visit or call the State Fair administration building at 315-487-7711 during business hours weekdays, where the receptionist will complete the purchase. In addition, a form that can be faxed to the Fair is available on the Fair's website, nysfair.org. Tickets purchased over the phone or by fax can be picked up at the reception desk during business hours, or can be picked up at the event, at the Will Call window. All admissions include a free 'Taste NY' beer or wine glass with which to drink samples. People intending to sample alcoholic beverages will receive a wristband that certifies they are of legal drinking age.
Anyone presenting a ticket stub from Saturday's Syracuse University football game will receive $5 off the $20 price of a ticket at the door.
Taste NY was launched by Governor Cuomo to highlight New York's food and beverage industry, ultimately making the State's wide variety of products readily available and recognizable to New York residents, tourists, and the world.
Taste NY is also a major component of the Governor's $60 million tourism campaign – the largest such campaign in decades. The program publicizes New York-made food and beverage products via promotions such as Taste NY tents and pavilions at food and wine events and Taste NY stores and kiosks located at Thruway rest stops and soon at airports and other transportation hubs such as Grand Central Station. In 2013, Taste NY has already had a large presence at the PGA Tournament in Rochester and the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse.
The New York State Fair, operated by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, runs from August 21 – September 1, 2014. The Fair's mission is to showcase the best of New York agriculture while providing top-quality entertainment.
In addition to the annual New York State Fair, the Fairgrounds host dozens of agricultural events throughout the year, including some of the Northeast's most prestigious horse and livestock shows.
The home of the Great New York State Fair is a 375-acre exhibit and entertainment complex that operates all year. A year-round schedule of events is available on the Fair's website. Find The Great New York State Fair on Facebook, follow @NYSFair on Twitter, and enjoy photos from the Fair at Flickr.com/photos/NYSFair. Also, New Yorkers are invited to send their ideas for the Great New York State Fair at email@example.com.

Quantitative Reasoning: Tools for Today's Informed Citizen
Bethlehem, Pa., September 7, 2006—Alicia Sevilla and Kay Somers, professors of mathematics at Moravian College, collaborated to author a new mathematics textbook, Quantitative Reasoning: Tools for Today's Informed Citizen.
Published by Key College Publishing, the book uses real-life examples and data to teach introductory quantitative reasoning courses at the college level.
The text features an activity-based pedagogical approach to encourage students to engage critically with the material and to acquire the tools necessary to understand how math is used in the real world to, for example, understand economic indexes or to evaluate credit card offers. Through a series of hands-on activities and explorations, it empowers students by teaching them to apply quantitative reasoning skills to make informed decisions in their daily lives.
The format is divided into three sections – numerical reasoning, logical reasoning, and statistical reasoning. Each topic within a section contains clearly stated objectives, several completed examples, and explorations and short problems for students. The book is also written with numerous in-depth activities designed for Microsoft Excel. Alternate versions of the activities for the TI 83/84 Plus graphing calculators are on a CD-ROM included with the text. Data collected from real print and electronic sources is used throughout to emphasize the connection between course concepts and their real-life applications.
Sevilla is a graduate of the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Argentina, and earned her M.A. and Ph.D. at Cornell University. She co-authored A Companion to Calculus, and currently serves as coordinator for student chapters of the Mathematical Association of America in the Eastern Pennsylvania Delaware section. Her interests are Algebraic number theory, and Euclidean real quadratic number fields.
Somers received her B.S. degree from Ursinus College, and earned M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Renssealaer Polytechnic Institute.

Power comes from a 3.2 litre inline six cylinder that generates 230 horsepower and is designed to deliver an optimal blend of performance, economy and refinement. The new engine is mounted transversely, which allows more space in the cabin as well as more effective safety systems. Engine ancillaries, including camshafts, alternator and air conditioning are driven from the back of the unit, the same side attached to the gearbox- taking up less space under the hood.
Drivers can expect 0-60 in about 8.4 seconds. The engine is attached to a permanent all wheel drive system via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Terrain Response system leads up a long list of advanced technologies fitted to the LR2.

Inside the LR2, occupants are treated to luxury amenities including an optional Dolby stereo with 12 speakers, 6-disc changer and MP3 playback. Bluetooth, DVD navigation and Sirius satellite radio are also available. Seating is available for five, with six adjustments standard on the driver seat.
The comfort of LR3's well appointed interior can be enjoyed over just about any terrain thanks to an array of computerized off-road aids. The Terrain Response system has selectable modes that alter the behavior of the engine, transmission, and chassis systems to optimize drivability and comfort on any type of surface.

The LR2 intends to allow buyers a seamless transition from a luxury sedan to a robust off-roader. With its remarkable qualifications, the latest Land Rover should have no problem meeting this goal when it goes on sale in 2007.

CINCINNATI - The Bengals are getting back to work after the NFL lockout ended.
Team owner Mike Brown said current Bengals players are heading back to Paul Brown Stadium for physicals Thursday morning and training camp will start Friday night in Georgetown, Ky. The team will hold its first practice scrimmages of the 2011 season on Saturday.
This season, the Bengals will be without one of their main pieces after Coach Marvin Lewis and Brown announced Tuesday that quarterback Carson Palmer will not be on the roster. In the season-opening conference Lewis said Palmer is "retired" in his eyes and will not be traded.
Negotiations are still underway to fill the rest of the Bengals' roster.

Alpina Returns to Racing with B6 GT3
2009 FIA GT3 European Championships
After a 20 year hiatus, BMW specialist/manufacturer, Alpina, will return to motorsports with an entry into the 2009 FIA GT3 European Championships in addition to a few other prominent endurance races.
Alpina's motorsports history boasts of winning three European Touring Car Championships with such legendary drivers from F1 and Touring Cars as Niki Lauda, Jacky Ickx, Hans Stuck and Dieter Quester. Alpina drivers also won the Nürburgring 24 Hours numerous times, as well as the 24 Hours of Spa in 1970.
With Alpina's B6 S model as the basis, the B6 GT3 will step into a starting grid of 45 pure-bred challengers such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin to name a few. The B6 GT3 uses the super-charged 4.4 liter V8 engine from the B6 S making 530 HP, 725 Nm.
The prime directive, besides winning, is to raise Alpina's brand recognition as well as increasing exposure to markets new to the Alpina name. However, motorsports will be Alpina's fourth business venture as the B6 GT3 will not only be a factory car but sold to private parties, collectors and race teams as well.
See press release below for available Alpina team positions.
ALPINA look back on a long and successful history in international motorsport.
ALPINA look back on a long and successful history in international motorsport. Well-known F1 and Touring Car drivers such as Niki Lauda, Jacky Ickx, Hans Stuck and Dieter Quester gripped an ALPINA steering wheel on their way to winning three European Touring Car Championships. ALPINA pilots also won the Nürburgring 24 Hours numerous times, as well as the 24 Hours of Spa in 1970.
"We think that the BMW 6 Series – especially with the super-charged, torque-laden 4,4 l V8 ALPINA engine from the B6 S (530 HP, 725 Nm) – provides the ideal basis to challenge pure-bred sportscars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin within the framework of GT3 regulations", said Andreas Bovensiepen, ALPINA proprietor.
After 20 years out of racing, ALPINA will field a factory team, running the B6 GT3 in the 2009 FIA GT3 European Championship, our race car based on the BMW ALPINA B6 S road car. ALPINA will field its this team in the FIA GT3 European Championship, as well as racing in selected important endurance races.
The idea of going racing with street-based dream cars has proven to be a great success for drivers, spectators and manufacturers alike. With this involvement in racing, ALPINA will be able to raise awareness of the ALPINA brand, especially in markets new to ALPINA. With ten distinguished automotive marques, the GT3 Championship is the Crème de la Crème, and with starting grids of 45 cars in the European Championship and multiple national championships, quite compelling. ALPINA see a well-thought-out concept at relatively reasonable cost. With his long racing history, Andreas Bovensiepen sees the benefit racing can bring, and has been the initiator of the new GT3 project from the very beginning.
Much like in the 1970s, ALPINA will also sell BMW ALPINA B6 GT3 race cars to private parties, collectors and race teams. This motorsport engagement will be ALPINA's fourth business venture. It marks another milestone in ALPINA's strategy of consistent, enduring growth. In addition to the race cars, ALPINA have been manufacturing road-going BMW ALPINA automobiles for over 40 years, and maintain a flourishing business trading in renowned wines from world's finest growing regions. A new engineering centre, absolutely state-of-the-art in terms of its machinery and capabilities, will soon be completed. This will allow ALPINA to more quickly bring its products to market and to offer its engineering services to third parties.
Alpina Race Team Openings
So that we may build up our race team and successfully develop the race version of the BMW ALPINA B6 GT3, we're looking for candidates with experience in motorsport. Your commitment and drive for perfection are the basis for future success. We expect a high level of flexibility, including weekends... Interested? Then compete for one of the following positions:
1.Project Manager
2.Automotive Race Engineer – Suspension and Aerodynamic Set-Up- Vehicle engineer: drivetrain and engine bay packaging construction
3.Automotive Engineer – Development, Chassis/Aerodynamic Panels
4.Automotive Engineer – Development, Drivetrain/Engine Bay Packaging
5.Race Mechanic, preferably with Lorry driving Licence
6.Technician, testing equipment and electronics
7.Purchasing/Logistics/Quality Control Specialist

Until you lay down your dictionaries and concordances, you're not ever going to see what I'm saying or agree with what I'm trying to share.
ww, your post reminded me of the vision given to Peter on the rooftop.........a cloth come down from heaven,with all kinds of creatures on it..both clean and unclean...three times...and went back up.How could they ascend back up unless they had come down? 'RISE PETER,KILL AND EAT".... the literal interpretation? I beleive the christian crusades followed that when they warred and killed 'heretics" in a literal way. quit calling unclean what God has cleansed. This vision proves that men of various understandings come down from heaven[spirits]lowered...'rise,Peter' shows understanding,resurrection/spiritual... Was it a literal meaning to kill? or a spiritual raising? I suggest you do a study on that exhortation of the Holy spirit and see if you can come up with the correct spiritual interpretation by a literal'word' translation and Micah,how can these 'creatures' come down from heaven,then go back up? the whole vision speaks of men without understanding[as beasts] ignorance slayed in them...and ascending back into heaven,from whence they came the whole purpose of the good evil exercize of spiritual sons of God[man without understanding is as a beast] So, I challenge you,ww, to give a word by word 'correct translation'of the above...and 'prove' your hypothesis......for I tell you..it is God through the spirit of Christ that gives the perfect translation. ONLY HE CAN OPEN THE SEALS... a 'word' in itself can have several meanings...the spirit behind the spoken word alone knows the intent...whether to kill or make alive...
So, I challenge you,ww, to give a word by word 'correct translation'of the above...and 'prove' your hypothesis......for I tell you..it is God through the spirit
Why can't we rely solely on the sound of his voice "in" us without our minds approval as to whether the definition is accuarte or not?
i like patterns,too! WW AS FAR AS BLACK AND WHITE GOES......two spirits,two men....but yes,when satan transform himself into an angel of light..you can expect gray areas. also,in us...as long as sin remains in our flesh...there is 'darkness' to an extent. Now,my pov is you lean to the 'technical' side of the word...[constraint]. and yours is I lean to far the other[too liberal]..
A couple things WW . . .I know I frustrate you from time to time and sometimes I'll admit, I do it on purpose, but it's not to goad you into an argument, but it's to see if "you" believe what you're saying, or if your just repeating something you've dug up in your research that someone else stated.
So, I know a while back you would claim you're an atheist, is that still true?
And two, and a little more closer to our contentional line . . . I was a bit surprised at your last post where you stated you're more prone to look for patterns. Because many of my points of contention with you haven't been about pattern, but about definition of a word. But because of your emphasis of the importance of defining the word before constructing the pattern, that kind of explains itself as to why I didn't pick up on the fact you search for patterns.
As you well know I'm pretty much the opposite in my initial approach to Scripture . . .to be totally honest with you, I don't ever read Scripture with the conscious thinking that "okay, how can I see this differently from what is actually written?" When I read Scripture, I'll just read it like anyone else, but then stuff starts flying out of the story and I hardly ever get more than 3 or 4 verses at the most when I have to stop and address the patterns that are forming themselves. I'm not looking "for" them so much as just seeing them as they form themselves.
I'm in another conversation right now on another forum that's unfortunately not UR for the most part, but I brought up 1 Corinthians 3 and asked the guy to explain to me how he sees it to read. It's the one about those who build upon the foundation of Christ using a range of different kinds of materials, be it gold, silver, hay, wood or stubble . . .all their works will be tested by fire and if they used wood or straw, they will suffer great loss but the builder will be spared . . .you know the one?
I'd never heard the argument against that and I was just curious . . .the guy came back and said it's not about unbelievers versus believers . .it's about believers only. He's reading what's literally there. He doesn't see the fact that his conclusions are contradictory to the "nature" of who God is. His mind is embracing the literal words that are there. He's got the literal definitions, but he's still very much off the mark. And "that's" my point here as well. I don't read Scripture by definition so much because my first concern is, is it in line with God's nature.
Because as I've said before in conversations such as this, the Pharisees were the elite of the elite when it came to knowing the original definitions, and they were lightyears ahead of us even moreso due to the fact that their personal history was the culture from when these things were unfolding. They had it all. But they still couldn't recognize Jesus was the Son of God and he was standing right in front of them. That's why I say I don't rely on what my mind concludes.
Only the Holy Spirit could reveal that depth of meaning. Which again is why I pose the question . . .why rely on my mind when we already know our minds are finite and flesh? Why can't we rely solely on the sound of his voice "in" us without our minds approval as to whether the definition is accuarte or not?

This is probably the worst eyeliner pen I have ever purchased. It was super hard, did not have enough "liquids" in it and was impossible to put on/almost no color came out of it, even when pressed really hard on paper or on my hand. Just horrible. I know it`s cheap, but really, it is not even worth the 1.99 dollars you pay for it.
Terrible waste of money
Posted by 4998988554887965268 on Jul 04, 2014
I had hoped this would be a good alternative to liquid eyeliner, but it was dry and useless by the second time I tried to use it.

Alright everyone. I'm so sorry but I'm going to have to declare failure this year. Everything was going fine this morning, but I just hit an unexpected snag in the problem space that I can't surmount today. If I work around it the application will be useless to anyone who uses dbprojects to manager their stuff, which is the majority of my target.
Please don't hate me too much! I'll try and tackle the problem in the new year!

Big Pharma: Why In-Licensing Is Not the Cure
Posted on Monday, August 30, 2010
From the editor: Jason chew @ Seeking Alpha has a well written article on the issues related to big-pharma in-licensing activity. His article is well referenced, and corresponds with my own personal experience on the matter; that many pharma companies are outsourcing almost all of their research to other sources. Jason goes on to write:
In-licensing allows Pharma to access novel technologies and may have some cost efficiencies for now, but it will only buy time for Big Pharma as costs spiral upwards. While ROI for Pharma compounds is a lowly 5%, the increasing costs combined with increasing failure rates of in-licensed compounds has reduced the ROI of compounds licensed at the Phase III stage from 12% in the 1995-2000 period to just 6% from 2000-2002(3).
Effectively, what he is saying (and what is happening) is in-licensing has reached critical mass, and ROIs are now decreasing. What to do?
I believe as we go forward, it will all come down to understanding biology better via better science, better diagnostics development, and as one commenter on Jason's article says, "FDA reform" that focuses less on liability and more on facilitating innovation. Translational research seems to be one key leg of the stool going forwards. With respect to oncology, cancer centers are playing an increasing role in not only identifying novel targets and compounds; but also the development of new diagnostics; as well as basic research programs which seek better understand the underlying biology.

Speaker of the House Brian C. Bosma is a key figure in the transformation taking placethroughout the state of Indiana. Over the last several years, Representative Bosma and his HouseRepublican colleagues have driven Indiana further and faster than ever before, moving the state ina much needed new direction.
Representative Bosma was first elected in 1986 to represent House District 88, which todayencompasses the northeast portion of Marion County and parts of southern Hamilton County.He rose quickly through the leadership ranks of the Republican Caucus and was selected asRepublican Floor leader in 1994 and Republican Leader in 2000. After Republicans becamethe majority party in 2004, Brian was selected as Speaker of the House. As Speaker ofthe 114th General Assembly, Representative Bosma and the House Republicans worked torevitalize Indiana's economy, pass the first balanced budget in a decade, adopt the strongesttelecommunications reform legislation in the nation, create the position of Inspector General toroot out fraud and corruption in state government, improve education opportunities for Hoosierschoolchildren, address the needs of the most vulnerable in our state, and open the doors to state government.
After the 2006 and 2008 elections, Brian was again picked to lead his caucus as HouseRepublican Leader. On November 2nd, 2010, Republicans gained a 60 seat majority in theIndiana House and Representative Bosma was again selected as Speaker of the House.
After being sworn in as Speaker for the second time, Brian addressed his colleagues in the HouseChamber, noting the challenges that lie ahead such and sharing his vision for the 117th GeneralAssembly: transparency in government through expanding internet broadcasting of Housecommittees (Speaker Bosma was the first to broadcast House proceedings via the web in 2005);promotion of efficiency in state government by creating the Select Committee on GovernmentReduction; and a renewed focus on bipartisanship and civility in the House. To demonstrate hiscommitment to bipartisanship, Speaker Bosma reached across the aisle to appoint two committeechairmen from the minority party for the 2011 session, a historic first.
Throughout his years of public service, Brian has been recognized as an exemplary leader. In2005, he received the Friends of First Steps Award for his support of early childhood interventionprograms. He was named Government Leader of the Year by the Indiana Chamber of Commercein 2003 and became the first legislator to twice receive the prestigious Chairman's Award fromthe National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). In 2002, Brian was among the nationalrecipients of Governing Magazine's Public Official of the Year Award, given in recognitionof outstanding achievement at the state and local level. In 2010, Speaker Bosma was namedLegislator of the Year by the Indiana Public Charter School Association and was awarded theGolden Apple Award by Indiana Virtual Families.
In 2009, 2010, and again in 2011, Brian was named Honorary Chairman of the RepublicanLegislative Campaign Committee (RLCC), a group dedicated at the national level to winningstate legislative races that saw at least 19 chambers switch to Republican control in November of 2010.
In his private life, Brian is a partner with the law firm of Kroger, Gardis, and Regas, focusing his practice in the areas of local government and environmental law. He was a founding Director of Bosma Industries for the Blind, Inc., which today employs over 85 blind and visually impairedHoosiers in Central Indiana.
Brian and his wife Cheryl, along with their children Allison-age 21 and Christopher-age 19,attend Grace Community Church. He is a graduate of Purdue University's School of Engineering(1981) and the Indiana University School of Law (1984).
