A method for compensating measurements of optical density of ink printed by a printing press in which amounts of light reflected from a printed test patch area and from an adjacent unprinted reference area are measured. The measurement sensitivity of sensing apparatus for measuring light from the printed test area need not be equal to the measurement sensitivity of sensing apparatus for measuring light from the unprinted reference area because the relative sensitivities of the two sensing apparatuses are ascertained before the press starts printing. The relative sensitivities are ascertained by making preliminary measurements of light from areas known to have equal reflection densities, for example unprinted paper. The results of these preliminary measurements are stored in a memory and employed later automatically to compensate density measurements based on readings made by the two sensing apparatuses while the press is printing.
1. The method of compensating densitometer readings where the densitometer is used to measure the relative optical density of a printed area during a printing operation on material in which densitometer light is directed onto the printed area of said material and transmitted therefrom along a first optical path with a characteristic of the transmitted light varying in accordance with the optical density, and densitometer light is directed onto an unprinted area of said material and transmitted therefrom along a second optical path to provide a reference light value, with the light along said paths being sensed by different optical sensing means to provide separate electrical test signals from which the relative optical density of the printed area is derived comprising the steps of
substituting first and second calibration areas for the printed and unprinted areas when the press is not printing, second calibration area having the same light transmittting characteristics as said first calibration area, utilizing first and second optical sensing means for respectively sensing the light transmitted along said first and second paths to respectively provide first and second calibration signals in order to determine differences between said calibration signals, and deriving calibration data from said calibration signals,
storing said calibration data in a memory means,
measuring the apparent relative optical density of a printed area when the press is printed by transmitting light along said paths to a printed area and an unprinted area and utilizing said first and second sensing means for respectively sensing the light of said first and second paths to provide said separate electrical test signals, and deriving measurement data therefrom,
reading said calibration data from said memory means, and combining said measurement data and said calibration data to produce an indication of the actual relative optical density of said printed and unprinted areas.
2. The method of compensating densitometer readings as defined in claim 1 and wherein
said step of sensing the light to provide calibration signals comprises sensing first and second amounts of light, from a common source, reflected from each of said first and second calibration areas respectively, and wherein said step of deriving calibration data from said calibration signals comprises computing a first logarithm of a ratio of said first and second amounts of light, and wherein
said step of measuring the apparent relative optical density of said printed and unprinted areas comprises sensing the amount of light from a common source reflected from each of said printed and unprinted areas, and wherein said step of deriving measurement data therefrom comprises computing a second logarithm of a ratio of the latter two amounts of light, and wherein
said step of combining comprises combining said first logarithm corresponding to said callibration data and said second logarithm corresponding to said measurement data by linear algebraic addition.
3. The method of compensating densitometer readings as defined in claim 1 and wherein said step of substituting first and second calibration areas comprises putting unprinted material in the press.
4. The method of compensating densitometer readings as defined in claim 1 and wherein both of said steps of sensing the light of said first and second paths comprise sensing said light of said first and second paths by means of said first and second respective sensing means having respective light sensors of different overall measuring sensitivities.
Various types of optical reflection densitometers have been used in the prior art to measure the optical density of ink printed on paper or other stock by printing presses. One type, illustrated by U.S. Pat. No. 3,748,046 to James E. Murray, measures light reflected from the paper and also measures reference light not reflected from the paper, for example reference light relected from a reference area built into the densitometer; the light measurements are combined to produce indications of ink density.
A second type of prior densitometer measures only light which is reflected from the paper. A densitometer of the second type is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,725, to J. M. Manring, in which a densitometer head is placed close to a rotating cylinder of a printing press, and a flash lamp in the densitometer head illuminates both a printed test patch area and an adjacent unprinted reference area on paper on which images and test patches were printed by the press. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,725, the flash lamp was used in common for simultaneous measurement of the reflectivity of both the printed test patch area and the unprinted reference area, and separate sensing apparatuses were employed for measuring the reflected light from the printed and unprinted areas respectively. Measurements made by the two measurement apparatuses for areas of the same optical density can be made equal by occasional manual adjustment of a gain setting device in at least one of the two measurement apparatuses of U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,725. The gain adjustment device can be manually adjusted to produce a density reading of zero when equal reflectivity surfaces are measured simultaneously by the two measurement apparatuses. The resulting gain setting produces equal overall measurement sensitivity for the test patch and the reference area measurement apparatuses. Unprinted paper is ordinarily put into the press to make the gain adjustment.
The present invention relates to the second type of densitometer, and in particular to compensating its density readings automatically to account for differences in measurement sensitivities of its two measurement apparatuses without adjusting their gains to have equal sensitivities.
In accordance with the present invention the reflection density of ink printed by a printing press is measured by simultaneously measuring the reflection density of a printed test patch area and an unprinted reference area illuminated by the same light source. Separate sensing apparatuses of the densitometer are employed for measuring light reflected from the printed and unprinted areas respectively. It is not necessary, however, to adjust the relative measurement sensitivities of the two sensing apparatuses so as to be equal. Instead their relative measurement sensitivity is measured, in advance of operation of the press, by measuring equally reflective areas, (for example areas of unprinted paper), with both of the sensing apparatuses and storing the calibration data thus obtained in a memory. Subsequently, when the press is operating and light measurements are made from printed and unprinted reference areas, the stored data regarding relative overall measurement sensitivities of the two channels are read out from the memory and employed to compensate the currently made measurements to provide correct output data of reflection density of ink as printed by the press.
Other aspects and features of the invention are also described herein and are illustrated in the figures.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a printing press having two printing units and an optical densitometer;
FIG. 2 shows a cylinder of a printing press and several densitometer heads for sensing printed ink density;
FIG. 3 is a side view of a densitometer head and of a portion of a printing press cylinder with printed paper to be optically measured;
FIG. 4 is a pattern of test patches printed on paper for measurement by the optical densitometer; and
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of electronic circuits of the densitometer.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a lithographic printing press 10 has two printing units 12, 14 each printing a different color of ink on paper or other stock 16 that travels through the two printing units in succession, FIG. 1. The printing units 12, 14 have rotating cylinders, and the completely printed paper 16 is in contact with a portion of the periphery of one of the rotating cylinders 18 near the output of the second printing unit 14. Supported near the cylinder 18 are several densitometer heads 20 for making measurements of optical reflection density of the printed paper 16 upon receiving an automatic command. An electronic unit 22 is associated with the densitometer head 20, and a cable of electrical conductors connects the electronic unit 22 with additional apparatus in an inspection and control station 24. The station 24 includes an inspection table 26 on which specimens of paper printed by the press can be spread out, control switches 28, and a display and control panel 30, which displays to the operator the results of density data gathered by the densitometer head 20, and other data.
In a different view of the press cylinder 18, shown in FIG. 2, each end of the axle of the cylinder 18 is seen to be supported in bearings in a sidewall 32 of the printing unit 14, and the cylinder 18 is driven at one end through a gear 34. The cylinder 18 is rotationally connected with an angular position encoder 36, which controls the times at which measurements are made by the densitometer heads 20. A great number of densitometer heads 20 may be employed. Three such densitometer heads are illustrated in FIG. 2, where they are shown supported on a rod 37 near the surface of the paper 16 in such a way that their lateral positions parallel to the principle axis of the cylinder 18 can be adjusted.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention being described, printing plates for printing images 38 on the paper 16 include portions for printing in a margin a group of test patches 40 at particular lateral positions where densitometer heads 20 are to be placed. Each of the groups 40 of test patches preferably contains at least one test patch printed by each of the color printing units 12, 14 of the press. Each densitometer head 20 contains six "channels" of sensing equipment for sensing the density simultaneously of six different test patches, and hence can accommodate the output of a six-color printing press. Each of the six channels of each densitometer head 20 has two light sensing apparatuses, one apparatus ordinarily being used for measuring light reflected from a printed test patch and the other being used for measuring light reeflected from an unprinted reference area adjacent the respective printed test patch. Each densitometer head 20 also has one photosensitive detector employed only as an aid in adjusting the time of measurement. Thus each six-channel densitometer head 20 has thirteen photosensitive detectors.
In FIG. 3 a slab-shaped beam of light 42, which is produced by a long flash tube inside the densitometer head 20, emerges from the densitometer head and illuminates a test region 45 of the paper 16 at 45� angle. The light beam 42 emerges from a narrow beam-defining slit 44, which is long enough laterally to illuminate at least one entire group 40 of test patches. After reflection from the paper 16, portions of the light that travel in a direction denoted by an arrow 43, are measured by the densitometer head 20. Light propagating generally in the direction 44 enters 13 circular ports 46, which are arranged in a single line so that each receives light reflected principally from either a particular test patch or an adjacent respective unprinted reference area within the group 40 of test patches.
The arrangement of a group 40 of test patches is shown in FIG. 4. Each of the cross-hatched rectangular areas 48M, 50M, 52M, 54M, 56M, 58M can be printed by a different printing unit in a six-color printing press, but in the two-unit press employed herein as an example only two of those patches would be printed. If preferred, several patches of a group 40 may be printed in one color by the printing unit 12 and the other patches printed in a second color by the other printing unit 14.
Adjacent to each of the printed test patches 48M . . . 58M is an unprinted reference area 48R, 50R, 52R, 54R, 56R, 58R respectively. The printed measurement area 48M and the adjacent unprinted reference area 48R form a pair of areas; measurement data of light reflected from the unprinted reference area 48R is dividied by measurement data of light reflected from its companion printed area 48M in order to correct for variable but common mode factors such as the intensity of the flash of light 42 that illuminates the test areas. Similarly the printed measurement areas 50M and the unprinted reference area 50R adjacent thereto form a pair for data processing purposes, as do the other pairs of measurement and reference areas.
A thirteenth area 60 is printed with a rectangle or stripe whose dimension is small in a direction 62 of movement of the paper 16 with respect to the densitometer head 20. The printed stripe 60 is provided for convenience in adjusting the time at which the light flash occurs for making density measurements. The stripe 60 is illuminated by the same flash of light that illuminates all of the other areas of the group 40, and light reflected from the stripe 60 is received on sensor apparatus within the densitometer head 20.
Accurate measurements depend upon measuring only the relative reflection properties of the measurement area 48M and the unprinted reference area 48R, without distortion from extraneous factors such as the measurement sensitivities of the two sensing apparatuses that measure the reflected light from the two areas. Thus, when the overall measurement sensitivity of the sensing apparatus that measures the measurement area 48M is different from the overall measurement sensitivity of the sensing apparatus that measures the unprinted reference surface 48R, inaccurate results would be produced at the output of the system as a whole if the difference were not compensated.
In the present invention it is not necessary to be certain that the overall sensitivities of the two sensing apparatuses are equal. Instead a preliminary measurement is made that ascertains the relative sensitivities of the two sensing apparatuses, preferably while the press is not printing, and the relative sensitivity data are stored in a memory means. Later, when the press is printing, the reflectivity of pairs of areas such as 48M, 48R are measured, and the data thus obtained are compensated in accordance with the relative sensitivity data read out from the memory means. Correct indications of optical density of the printed ink are therefore provided at the final output of the measurement system.
The relative overall measurement sensitivities of sensing apparatuses for measuring the printed area 48M and its associated unprinted reference area 48R are measured by passing unprinted paper to the densitometer region 45 of the press and operating the densitometer apparatus in a "calibrate" mode. In the calibrate mode the light source is flashed as described above to illuminate the test region 45, but at a time when the entire region 45 has unprinted paper. The sub-areas of the region 45 at which the printed test patch 48M and the unprinted reference area 48R of paper will later be located are denoted as areas 48N and 48P respectively, on the blank paper. Amounts of light reflected from unprinted paper at both of these areas 48N, 48P, are measured Their reflection properties are identical within the limits of accuracy required for the present system. A ratio of their readings is automatically computed to provide a sensitivity ratio for the two respective sensing apparatuses of the densitometer. The logarithm of this sensitivity ratio is automatically computed and stored in memory for use in compensating the measurements that are subsequently to be made while running. Similar calibrations and measurements are made for each other pair 50M, 50R, etc. of press that correspond to the other five measurement channels of the densitometer head 20 being discussed, and for others of the densitometer heads 20.
Conventional multiplexing apparatus is employed in the electronic measurement circuits of the densitometer in order that some of the subcircuits may be employed in common by more than one of the sensing apparatuses and channels. It is not necessary to describe the multiplexers to illustrate the invention; for clarity they are omitted and only the measurement channel corresponding to the pair of areas 48M, 48R is described. The calibration of the densitometer apparatus is described first hereinbelow, after which the running operation is described.
Referring now to FIG. 5 a "Run, Calibrate" switch 64 is first placed in a Calibrate position 64a by the operator. Unprinted paper is run into the press to a position at the test region 45. A Start switch 66 is then depressed by the operator to start a calibration routine. In response thereto a lamp power supply 68 receives a flash command and the power supply 68 energizes a flash lamp 70 to produce the long thin beam of light 42 to illuminate the paper at the test region 45. Because no part of the paper 16 is printed, the areal portions at the locations 48N and 48P of the test region 45 have identical reflectivity. Light is reflected from these locations into respective ports 46 of the densitometer head 20, where it is conducted by optical apparatus (not shown) to respective photosensitive detection means 72M, 72R, which are preferably photodiode transducers.
Electrical signals whose values depend upon the intensities of the light from the locations 48N, 48P are produced by the photodiodes 72M, 72R respectively and conducted to filtering preamplifiers 74M, 74R. The preamplifiers 74M, 74R filter their respective signals to reduce noise, and amplify them somewhat, applying the resulting signals to respective sample and hold devices 76M, 76R. The sample and hold devices are actuated simultaneously at command terminals 78M, 78R respectively by a synchronized timing signal, to store simultaneous measurements of light reflected from the areas 48N, 48P, of the unprinted paper.
An electrical output signal VM ' from the "measurement" sample and hold device 76M and a signal VR ' from the "reference" sample and hold device 76R are both conducted a computation circuit 80. One embodiment of the computation circuit 80 is described in very great detail in the above referenced patent.
Preferably, the computation circuit 80 comprises an analog divider 81, which receives the two voltage signals VM ' and VR ', and divides VR ' by VM ' to produce an output quotient. Analog dividers of this type are commercially available from many manufacturers, including Burr-Brown Research Corporation of International Airport Industrial Park, Tuscon, Ariz., which offers one as Model 4290. The effects of lamp intensity on the readings cancel out of the ratio VR' /VM ', because VR ' and VM ' are measured with the same flash of light 42.
The value of the voltage VM ' is presumed to be a product of two factors, namely the reflectivity of the area 48N and the sensitivity of the respective sensing apparatus. The voltage VR ' is similarly assumed to be a product of a reflectivity and a sensitivity. The effects of relative reflectivities of the two surfaces cancel out of the ratio VR '/VM ' because VR ' and VM ' are measurements of similar unprinted surfaces 48N, 48P that have substantially equal reflectivity. Consequently the ratio VR '/VM ' represents only the relative measurement sensitivities of the two sensing apparatuses.
The output of the analog divider 81 is connected to an analog logarithmic amplifier 83, whose function is to produce a signal at its output proportional to the logarithm of a signal at its input. Devices of this type are also very commonly available commercially, Burr-Brown offering one as Model 4116. An output signal of the analog logarithmic amplifier 83 is applied to a conventional analog-to-digital converter 85, whose digital output signal at a terminal 80b is in a binary form, which is convenient for storage in a memory device.
Output data at the terminal 80b of the computation circuit 80 are conducted through the terminal 64a of the "Run, Calibrate" switch 64 to a memory means 82, where they are stored. The memory device 82 is in a "write only" mode of operation during calibration, being maintained in that mode by a ground potential signal at a control terminal 64b of the switch 64. Thus data representing log 10 (VR '/VM ') for entirely unprinted paper are stored in the memory 82, which step completes the calibration procedure.
To operate the apparatus in a run mode the "Run, Calibrate" switch 64 is placed in a "Run" position, FIG. 5, and the press 10 is operated to print images 38 in ink on the paper 16. The densitometer start switch 66 is again depressed. When the angular position of the press position encoder 36 reaches a code corresponding to the settings of a set of flash point selection switches 84, a circumferential position detector 86, which is a digital coincidence comparator, produces an output signal that serves as a flash command. The lamp power supply 68 is triggered by the flash command and the lamp 70 is energized. At that instant a group 40 of test patches is at the test region 45 under the densitometer head 20. Light 42 from the flash lamp 70 is reflected from the measurement test patch area 48M and from the adjacent reference area 48R, and reflected light therefrom falls upon the photodiodes 72M, 72R, respectively as before. Shortly thereafter the sample-and-hold modules 76M, 76R are actuated to hold the signals that they are then receiving, so that they produce and hold output signals VM, VR, corresponding to the amounts of light reflected from the areas 48M, 48R respectively. A computation is then made in the computation circuit 80, upon a command at the timing terminal 80a. The log 10 (VR /VM) is computed and appears, after analog to digital conversion, at the terminal 80b. The effects of lamp intensity cancel out of the ratio VR /VM because VR and VM are measured with one flash of light in common.
This logarithm signal is conducted to one input terminal 88a of a digital subtraction circuit 88. At the same time the contents log10 (VR '/VM ') of the memory 82 are read and applied to a subtrahend input terminal 88b of the digital subtractor 88. The data at the terminal 88b are subtracted linearly from the data at the terminal 88a to produce at an output terminal 88c a signal representing the quantity log10 (VR /VM) - log10 (VR '/VM '), which is equal to log10 [(VR /VM) (VM '/VR ')].
In the final resulting output data at terminal 88c, effects of the relative sensitivities of the two sensing apparatuses cancel out because the ratio (VM '/VR ') cancels the relative sensitivity effects that are inherent in the ratio (VR /VM). Consequently the final output data represents only the relative reflectivities of the printed patch 48M and the unprinted adjacent reference area 48R, which is the only information of interest. The output data have therefore been compensated for differences in measurement sensitivities, for example gain differences between the sensing apparatuses having the subscripts
An output signal from the digital subtractor 88 is stored in a display storage memory device 90 upon a store command at a terminal 90a, and thereafter is displayed on an operator's display device 94, which conveniently may include a cathode ray tube. A digital-to-analog converter 92 converts the digital data of the display storage memory 90 to an analog signal to drive the cathode ray tube display device 94.
A read-write timing and synchronization control device 96 provides timing and synchronization signals according to routine design techniques to various circuits of the densitometer apparatus, for example, to the timing terminals 78M, 78R, the read-write terminal 82t of the memory 82, etc. All of the circuit modules of FIG. 5 are conventional ones that are well known to those skilled in the electronic arts.
A method for making optical density measurements of ink printed by a printing press has been described in which it is not necessary to adjust the relative sensitivities of measurement and reference sensing apparatus in order to make accurate measurements of the reflection density of ink printed by the printing press. Ink density measurements made during operation of the press are automatically corrected to compensate for differences in sensitivities by employing calibration data that were previously measured with unprinted paper in the press. The calibration data are stored in a memory and used repeatedly thereafter to compensate subsequently obtained data.

An Associated Press journalist walked through the compound Sunday after the Dawn of Libya, an umbrella group for Islamist militias, invited onlookers inside. Some windows at the compound had been broken, but it appeared most of the equipment there remained untouched. The journalist saw treadmills, food, televisions and computers still inside. A commander for the Dawn of Libya group, Moussa Abu-Zaqia, told the AP that his forces had entered and been in control of the compound since last week, a day after it has seized control of the capital and its strategic airport after weeks of fighting with a rival militia. Abu-Zaqia said the rival militia was in the compound before his troops took it over. A video posted online showed men playing in a pool at the compound. In a message on Twitter, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Deborah Jones said the video appeared to have been shot in at the embassy's residential annex. She also said it appeared the compound was being "safeguarded" and was not "ransacked." The fighting prompted diplomats and thousands of Tripoli residents to flee. Dozens were killed in the fighting. On July 26, U.S. diplomats evacuated to neighboring Tunisia under a U.S. military escort. The State Department said embassy operations would be suspended until the security situation improved. The Dawn of Libya militia is deployed around the capital and has called on foreign diplomats to return now that the fighting has subsided. (Copyright 2014, The Associated Press, all rights reserved.)

Broom Wagon Cyclery
Broom Wagon Cyclery has been open for four days when I first walk in. But they sold a bike on their second day, so that's a good start, right? Nestled in the hodgepodge neighbourhood of Danforth and Pape, this new bike shop is directed at the everyday city cyclist.
In short, the focus is on urban bikes and the daily commuter that rides them.
Opened by Marty Vanderhoek, who was the sales manager at Urbane Cyclist, and Theo Tsimbidis, the shop's mechanic, they have high hopes for servicing the cycling needs of Greek Town. Both guys are pretty laid back. Having both just left their long-term bike shop gigs, they exude a mixture of child-like giddiness and restrained uncertainty of having just opened their own shop. That's fair.
Broom Wagon is the nickname for the vehicle that follows riders at the Tour de France and picks up those who just can't continue or who have gotten too far behind the time limit. The people like me. "It [the name] really fit with what we're trying to do here, which is to help people with their cycling needs," says Marty, alluding to tune-ups, accessories or a new ride. "We're here for the neighbourhood."
As you'd expect given the focus, there's a strong city-bike roster with brands like Opus and KHS. Despite the commuter focus, you'll also find racers, mountain bikes, kids bikes, and hybrids here as well.
And in case your ride breaks down, Theo, who has six years of bike mechanic experience, is your man. He does full service, which is really just a fancy way of saying whatever problem you may have; he's got you covered. "From the ground up, I wanted the shop to be full service and to have every tool that was necessary to do every possible thing," says Theo.
Any last advice you may have for Toronto's everyday bike commuter, I ask? Marty doesn't skip a beat: "Always assume the car doesn't see you." Well put.
Who the store caters to: the everyday city cyclist
Bike price range: $400-$1,000 (sweet spot at $600)
Service capabilities: Full service
The tune-up: The "Mini-Tune" is $30 and it covers the basics like brake adjustments, bolt tightening, lubrication, tire inflation. The "Mid-Tune" is all adjustments to all parts, a general clean, inspection, and more. They have a "Mega-Tune" coming soon.

Seems Urbane is spinning off employees to new shops. There's also www.hoopdriver.ca, but that's a different purpose and pricepoint.
Cheers, Jim.
as the only non-rude bike shop in town.
but learned that just saying that a thing is so,
does not necessarily make it true.
today i went in asking for 11 bar tyres
and was dismissed as not knowing what i wanted
by both the mechanic and guy working the cash.
they tried to sell me a set of 8 bar tyres instead.
i told them that they are the only polite bike shop,
and that i would much rather wait 2 weeks for THEIR tyres
than give my money to some rude bike shop in toronto.
the guy on the cash took this as his cue to be rude.
after trying to make me feel stupid for calling my tyres 'sapphires'
when in actuality they are zaffiros by vittoria (sapphire in italian)
he proceeded to try again to sell me on tyres in store 3 bars too soft,
and revised his estimate from 2 week wait up to 4 week wait.
then a lady came in looking strictly for a couple of used bikes.
he let her be, i pointed out a $400 new bike and she decided to stay
he ignored his $70 tyre purchase (me) and shunted her to a $500 bike.
i said to her that a less upright position causes less back trouble.
he came back with animosity directing to let him handle his customer,
since i was not even an employee there. at that point i took my leave.
sure you can say that you have worked retail and customers ruin sales.
i personally know a chiropractor that says there are higher priorities.
Sorry that your experience wasn't positive, but that isn't my experience with the place at all.

Rooney indicated he wanted to leave United in a statement issued in September 2010.
The England international later performed a U-turn and signed a new five-year contract with the Red Devils.
In his latest autobiography, which is being serialised by the Daily Mirror, he recalls: "In September 2010, my ankle puts me on the sidelines.
"I get frustrated with myself, my game, my injury, and everything around me.
"I'm stuck in a cycle of bad form but I can't get out of it.
"And that's when I make the biggest mistake of my football career.
"In October, I release a statement which publicly questions my happiness at Old Trafford. Am I better off elsewhere?
"Everyone makes a fuss. There are discussions inside United to sort out the issue, people outside United chuck their opinions around, but the thing is, nobody really knows what's going on in my life.
"None of them understand where I am in my career. They don't know where my head's at.
"The only person who really knows what's going on in there is me, but even I'm not sure what I want."
He continues: "Then the manager has his say. 'Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you have in your own field. And it never really works that way'.
"He's saying the grass isn't always greener, and he's right.
"I like what's in my field. I'm wrong. United want the same as me: trophies, success, to be the best."

USC's top quarterback recruit is Tanner McEvoy out of New Jersey. McEvoy made the switch to quarterback this season after lining up as a wide receiver and safety in prior years. McEvoy really impressed in his short time as a spread QB and thus earned several scholarship offers to Division 1-A programs like South Carolina.
Here are a few YouTube videos of some McEvoy highlights from some of his games this season. Take a look if you've got some time and let us know how you feel he could help the USC offense in the future if he commits to South Carolina.

Every canton keeps its own hospital list. This list can include hospitals situated both in- and outside that canton. It is designed to cover all medical services required by the inhabitants of the canton. The hospitals that figure on that list may bill the treatment costs to the patient's canton of residence and his/her basic insurance. They are so-called listed hospitals. These hospitals and clinics are given a mandate by the cantonal government, which defines the range of services provided. The mandate dictates which medical service may be offered and what obligations and requirements must be met.
You can find the cantonal hospital lists at GDK (Swiss Conference of Cantonal Health Directors).
On 1 January 2012, the new hospital financing regime was introduced. Since then, basic insurance and the canton of residence fully cover hospital treatment in another canton if the hospital in question is on a hospital list and the costs (per-case flat rate) are no higher than they would have been in the canton of residence. If the per-case rate exceeds the corresponding rate in the canton of residence, it has to be paid by the patient or his/her supplemental insurance. As before, basic insurance also covers all treatment that is not available in the canton of residence (transplants, for instance) as well as emergency treatment.

Wayne State University has a plan to raise its admission standards in an effort to increase the school's graduation rate. According to the most recent figures, 33 percent of students graduate within six years of enrollment at Wayne State.
Professor Joel Silvers teaches screenwriting. He said he loves working at a diverse, urban-centered university, but that he has seen freshman struggle at the school.
"A lot of them come into this university and they are really not prepared for college-level work and its no reflection on them, its a reflection on the kinds of public schools they are coming from around the region," Silvers said. "It's no secret that we have a a low graduation rate."
Now, university leaders want to implement tougher admission standards to avoid a failed student body.
Under the new standards, students with a grade point average in the range of 2.5 to 2.7 and an ACT score between 16 and 18 would go into a Bridge Program. It is an 8-week program offered twice a year that focuses on core subjects such as english and math.

In 2012, a year of unrelenting global volatility, art auctions upended expectations and shattered records. At its February Impressionist and Modern Art sale, Christie's London realized $282.6 million—the highest total ever in this category—for the more than 40 lots, including modern masters Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Paul Klee. Henry Moore proved the largest draw with his lyrical bronze, Reclining Figure (1951), topping the sale at $30 million and setting a world record for the artist. One week later Christie's continued with a strong showing of $126.5 million at its London Post-War and Contemporary sale. Top among the 59 lots were Francis Bacon's provocative Portrait of Henrietta Moraes (1963), which went for £21.3 million (£1 = about $1.59), and Gerhard Richter's Abstraktes Bild (1994), which sold for $15.5 million. Sotheby's London did less well in its February sales, but six outstanding works by Richter ignited heated bidding, with Abstraktes Bild (768–4) (1992) closing at $7.6 million and Eis (1981) at $6.7 million.
Throughout the year the market continued to be driven by the most affluent collectors competing for virtuoso works by recognized masters. In May, Christie's New York set highs for Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and Alexander Calder; Mark Rothko's sublime Orange, Red, Yellow (1961) doubled its estimate, realizing an unprecedented $86.9 million. The sale broke a house record at $388.5 million for 59 lots. Sotheby's New York sale of 59 lots reached only its middle estimate ($266.6 million), but Roy Lichtenstein's Sleeping Girl (1964) and Bacon's Figure Writing Reflected in Mirror (1976) tied at $44.8 million, setting new standards for both artists. Records were also set for Cy Twombly, Glen Ligon, and Ai Weiwei. Phillips de Pury's record showing for Jean-Michel Basquiat's Untitled (1981) at $16.3 million was shattered one month later at Christie's for a different Basquiat Untitled (1981), which sold for $20.2 million. Sotheby's made auction-house history when Edvard Munch's pastel on board, The Scream (1895), took in $119.9 million at the May Impressionist and Modern New York sale. Owned for over 70 years by the family of Thomas Olsen, a friend of Munch, this was the only one of the four versions of the iconic image to have remained in private hands and the only one in the artist's original frame. After a prolonged bidding battle, it sold to New York collector Leon Black. Fall prices continued upward with Richter's 1994 Abstraktes Bild (809–4), which sold at Sotheby's London for $34.2 million, which was 30 times the price paid for the work in 2001 and the highest price paid for the work of any living artist.
For the second year China held the largest share of the market; the U.S. followed, with the U.K. a close third. The spring Contemporary Asian Art sale at Sotheby's Hong Kong realized $27 million, the second highest for this category at the house. Zhang Xiaogang's Bloodline: Big Family No. 2 (1993) more than doubled its estimate, hammering at a closing price of $6.69 million. Along with Fang Lijun's 1993 No. 4—at $3.67 million the other top lot of the sale—it sold to Chinese-Indonesian collector Budi Tek, who in 2013 planned to open a private museum in Shanghai. Late in September Sotheby's strengthened its position in the Asian market as the first foreign company granted permission to sell art in mainland China; in a joint venture with the state-owned Beijing GeHua Art Co., Sotheby's (Beijing) Auction Co. would be able to offer clients tax-free storage in the new Tianzhu free-trade zone.
The 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympics opened with conceptual artist Martin Creed's self-described sound work Work No 1197, All the Bells in a Country Rung as Quickly and Loudly as Possible for Three Minutes. Many of the works commissioned for the celebration were of an ephemeral nature; the destination of such concrete works as Damien Hirst's Union Jack motif stadium floor for the Olympic closing ceremony and Mark Quinn's offering for the Paralympics opening ceremony—Alison Lapper Pregnant, a 13-m (43-ft) re-creation of his original 2005 3.7-m (12-ft) Fourth Plinth sculpture—had yet to be decided. The ArcelorMittal Orbit, designed by sculptor Anish Kapoor, in collaboration with engineer Cecil Balmond, would stand as a permanent legacy in the Olympic Park. This towering 114.5-m (375-ft.) construction, made of eight strands of latticed and spiraled red and gray steel, featured a viewing platform nearly 85 m (278 ft) above street level, joining such "overlook" monuments as Gustave Eiffel's Tower for the 1889 Paris World's Fair and George Ferris's observation Wheel for Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Reviews of the giant structure were mixed; critics and local residents called it "Boris's Folly," in reference to Boris Johnson, the mayor of London.
Also in London, the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in Kensington Gardens reunited Ai (who remained detained in China) with the 2008 Beijing Olympics engineering team Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron; Ai worked with his partners via Skype. Nestled beneath a reflecting pool roof that mirrored London's sky, a full-scale landscape relief made of cork traced the foundation footprints of all 11 previous pavilions. The installation, evoking an archaeological site, invited strolling. In autumn Tino Sehgal staged The Associations in Tate Modern's vast Turbine Hall for the 2012 Unilever Series. There was nothing to see, but visitors were approached by one of 70 trained "interpreters," who coaxed them into dialogue with such enigmatic statements as "I lent some money to a friend" and "I was disappointed with myself." The intangible nature of Seghal's work was particularly poignant; after 13 years of having commissioned challenging installations, the sponsorship for the series expired. Vietnamese-born Danh Vo, the winner of the Hugo Boss Prize 2012, launched his sculpture project We the People, a full-scale replica of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi's Liberty Enlightening the World that had begun in 2010. The installations—composed of roughly 400 gleaming copper fragments, never to be assembled—were scheduled to span the globe, including three sites in Chicago (the Art Institute of Chicago, the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business), as well as venues in New York, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Bangkok, and Shenzhen, China. Like the topography at the Serpentine pavilion, these fragments evoke an uncovered past with simultaneous suggestions of grandeur and ruin. The project was to be complete in 2013.
The short list for the 2012 Turner prize included four nominees. Paul Noble, known for his giant scatological drawings, was given the nod for his Nobson Newtown, which maps an invented metropolis in monumental yet meticulously detailed graphite drawings rendered over the past 16 years. Elizabeth Price wove archival film, text, imagery, and music with new animation into her videos; The Woolworths Choir of 1979 flows from a visual meditation on a medieval church interior to news footage of a deadly fire at a Woolworth's Department store in Manchester, Eng. Found footage merged with new in nominee Luke Fowler's All Divided Selves (2011), a filmed portrait of Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing. Through the duration of the short-list exhibition, nominated performance artist Spartacus Chetwynd and her costumed collaborators presented Odd Man Out, a carnivalesque, chaotic riff on voting that blurred the line between spectator and spectacle. In the end, Price won the day. In other honours, British artist and photographer David Hockney was recognized for his life work in January when he received the Order of Merit, and in February sculptor Will Barnet and painter Martin Puryear were awarded the U.S. National Medal of Arts.
Among the significant losses in the art world were critics Robert Hughes and Hilton Kramer, painter and poet Dorothea Tanning, printmaker Elizabeth Catlett, and Catalan artist Antoni Tàpies, as well as such popular figures as sports painter LeRoy Neiman and Thomas Kinkade, the self-styled "Painter of Light." Other noteworthy deaths include those of gallerists Ivan Karp and Donald Young, as well as activist Syrian sculptor Wael Issa Kaston.

Bethlehem, Pa., May 3, 2013—Moravian College student Rianne Stowell (Coopersburg, Pa.) has been selected for a Fulbright U.S. Student award for 2013-2014 to Spain. Next week she will graduate from Moravian with dual degrees, a Bachelor of Science degree in neuroscience and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish. In just a few short months, she will be putting both to the test when she boards a plane headed for Seville, Spain, where she will spend nine months conducting research in the University of Seville's Department of Pharmacology.
This will be Stowell's second stay at the University of Seville. She studied and did an internship there for a semester as part of Moravian's study abroad program through the Foreign Language Department. "I decided to talk to the lab that I worked in while I was abroad to see if they were willing to have me back for a different project using a Fulbright grant," Stowell said. "With my strong foundation in both areas, I had the confidence to pursue an internship while studying abroad and this internship led me down the path of applying for a Fulbright."
Stowell will be working with a mouse strain that has been genetically modified to lack a certain type of immune cell. "I will induce autoimmune encephalitis in the mice (this is the mouse version of multiple sclerosis) so that I can study the effect of removing the immune cells," she explained. "This type of work is central in elucidating the mechanisms by which autoimmune diseases such as MS progress. This neuroscience research will help me further my understanding of the field and get more experience as a researcher before I start graduate school at the University of Rochester in 2014.
"Moravian inspired me to pursue this path by giving me the flexibility to double major," Stowell explained, "I have always loved Spanish and having amazing professors who were willing to help me work the major around my science courses was vital to my success. The intellectual challenge provided by my two majors has driven me to be more of a scholar and consider the breadth of possibilities available to someone with a diverse skill set."
Stowell decided to apply for a Fulbright last summer while she was at the University of Washington as an Amgen Scholar doing neuroscience research. "The program offered classes with career advice in addition to the lab experience we were getting, and I decided that I wanted to do research outside of the country for a year if possible," she noted.
The Fulbright award is a perfect way for Stowell to continue working on both her main interests, and majors, neuroscience and Spanish. After the Fulbright is complete, she will attend the University of Rochester to pursue a doctorate in neuroscience. "I hope that the Fulbright will lead to further scientific collaborations abroad during my career as a neuroscientist," she added.
"From the moment I met Rianne, I knew she would be the type of neuroscience major who would not only embrace this scientific discipline, but also weave it throughout her studies in the humanities and social sciences," said Cecilia M. Fox, associate professor of biological sciences, and director of the Neuroscience Program at Moravian College. "As a double major in Neuroscience and Spanish, Rianne is a wonderful scholar who understands the value of scientific discovery and its place in a world full of art, music, world culture and literature. As her neuroscience professor and her Honors mentor, I am confident she will continue to make some very meaningful contributions in the disciplines of neuroscience and foreign languages in the years to come."
Last year, Moravian student Jamie Thierolf '12 received a Fulbright to teach and study in Madrid, Spain. The prior year, Anne Dutlinger, associate professor of art, and alumna Cynthia Dretel '10 were awarded Fulbright Scholar awards. Stowell is the 11th person from Moravian College to win a prestigious Fulbright in the past 14 years.
Stowell joins the ranks of nearly 300,000 Fulbright Grant recipients since Congress began the program in 1946, immediately after W.W. II, to "enable the government of the United States to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries." Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright program is the largest international exchange program offering opportunities for students, scholars and professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research and teaching opportunities.
Today the Fulbright Program is the U.S. Government's premier scholarship program. It enables U.S. students, artists and other professionals to benefit from unique resources all over the world. The Fulbright (Full Grant) provides round-trip transportation; language or orientation courses, where appropriate; tuition, in some cases; book and research allowances; and maintenance for the academic year. The U.S. Student Program is designed to give recent B.S./B.A. graduates, masters and doctoral candidates, and young professionals and artists opportunities for personal development and international experience. Most grantees plan their own programs.
Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Moravian partners with students to build a strong foundation for their future. Visit the College's Web site at www.moravian.edu.

Wine of the weekCedro do Noval 2009
Posted: November 30, 2013|
The red table wines of Portugal's Douro Valley, the home of port, are a relatively recent innovation. Made from the same grape varieties that go into port itself, these highly-distinctive reds share the deep ruby colours and spicy aromas of the fortified wines, followed up by balanced, satisfying savoury flavours. Pick of bunch is Cedro do Noval 2009 at £16 from Cambridge Wines in Salisbury, Berry Bros & Rudd and Ocado online. It is the red wine of Quinta do Noval and takes its name from the giant cedar tree on the quinta's terrace, high in the Douro Valley. It is deep in colour, smouldering with dark, minty aromas, and distinctively flavoured with sleek, spicy and intense black fruits. It is made from nine parts port grapes to one part syrah which means it is not classified as a Douro denominated wine but as a Vinho Regional Duriense.

The X Factor
Who Are the Guys in Emblem3? X Factor Contestant Background Info
Emblem3 is like those three hot guy friends you have who are super fun and really cute, and who you secretly want to date. All at the same time. Is that so wrong?
So, who are these boys? The three members of Emblem3 are all equally darling, but each has his own strengths to offer. Keaton and Wes Stromberg are brothers from, um, the same mother, and third member Drew Chadwick grew up with the boys.
All three members are originally from Sequim, WA, but moved to California to get more involved in the music community of LA. They've embraced their Cali lifestyle since moving to Huntington Beach, and love to surf and chill, SoCal style.
Keaton, 16, leads the group in the studio, handling most of the engineering details. His voice lends itself best to indie sounds, has "epic rock vocals," plays bass, and tends to sing more than rap.
Wes, 18, puts the songs together in the studio and at band practice and serves as the group's unofficial producer. He also raps, plays rhythm guitar, and sings main vocals for the trio.
Drew, 20, raps, freestyles, beatboxes, and writes the lyrics for most of the group's songs. He also plays lead guitar..
Before The X Factor, they were playing club shows around southern California and the Stromberg mom helped the boys out as their manager.
Although the boys ended up on X Factor in the live shows, they originally auditioned for America's Got Talent, and were scrapped at the last moment. However, network producers then asked them to audition for XF. Looks like that all worked out just peachily.
