Dylan Cecil death: Mourners pay last respects after Burnham-on-Sea jetty tragedy
Posted: September 05, 2012|
Family and friends of a four-year-old boy who drowned after slipping from a jetty into the sea have laid him to rest.
Dylan Cecil was on holiday visiting his grandparents when he fell into the water at Burnham-on-Sea on August 19.
He was said to have been trying to get a closer look at the sea when the tragedy happened.
The youngster, from Kettering in Northamptonshire, disappeared while with his parents, Rachel McCollum and Darren Cecil.

They jumped in after their boy to try to save him but could not find him in the swirling, fast-flowing and muddy water.
Emergency services quickly launched a search and rescue operation, but he could not be saved.
Dylan's body was found four days later, about half a mile from where he was last seen, at the town's sailing club.
At St Mary's Church in Kettering yesterday hundreds of mourners turned out to pay their last respects to the youngster, many wearing blue in honour of Dylan's favourite football team, Kettering Town, and computer game character Sonic the Hedgehog.
Mr Cecil was one of the pall-bearers who lifted his son's blue coffin, which also had a picture of Sonic on the side and a football scarf draped over it, from a white horse-drawn carriage and carried it into church.
Many mourners hugged one another and wiped away tears as they silently watched.
Members of Kettering Town FC were also part of the congregation.
As Dylan's mother left the church after the hour-long service, she said goodbye to her son and bent to kiss his coffin, before it was lifted into the horse-drawn carriage.
A poem she had written was read out during the service.
Handwritten messages on floral tributes inside the hearse described the sadness felt by Dylan's family at his death.
Dylan was visiting his grandparents David and Jackie McCollum, who live in nearby Brean, when he drowned.
Their wreath included a message sending love from his "seaside Nanny and Grandad".
Cars came to a halt as the carriage carrying Dylan was driven slowly from the church, followed by his parents and family in cars behind, as he was taken for a private burial.

ATHENS, Ga. --- Despite four touchdown passes by Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray, the Bulldogs dropped a 45-42 decision to No. 12 South Carolina on Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
With the loss, the Bulldogs slipped to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the Southeastern Conference. The Gamecocks improved to 2-0 and 1-0.
"South Carolina is a tremendous team, and I think Georgia's a darn good team if we don't help the opponent too much," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said. "I saw an awful lot of fight from our guys, I saw some outstanding plays at crunch time, I saw banged-up guys sucking it up and going - all the ingredients of a very good football team. But very good football teams don't turn it over the way we did. So we're potentially a very good football team.
"We've definitely been through some really tough games, games that take a lot of guts, energy and games where you need the majority of things to go right to get the victories. We lost and we understand that. But we're going to be a good football team. We're resilient enough to shake it off and make the corrections."
Murray hit on 19-of-29 passes for 248 yards and the career-best four touchdowns, the last covering 33 yards to receiver Tavarres King with 2:33 remaining. But after the Bulldogs were unable to recover an onside kick, South Carolina ran out the clock.
Freshman tailback Isaiah Crowell gained 118 yards on 16 carries to establish his career high for the Bulldogs. He scored two touchdowns, one on a 17-yard reception and the other on a 16-yard rush.
South Carolina was led by sophomore tailback Marcus Lattimore, who had 176 yards and a touchdown. The Gamecocks also scored touchdowns on a fake punt, an interception return and a fumble return, and they had another touchdown set up by a fumble return.
Murray's touchdown passes covered 27 yards to receiver Rantavious Wooten, 17 yards to Crowell, 19 yards to receiver Michael Bennett and 33 yards to Crowell.
Kicker Blair Walsh was 2-for-3 on field goals, hitting from 37 and 39 yards.
Linebacker Christian Robinson recorded eight tackles for the Bulldogs, while cornerback Sanders Commings added six stops.

It saddens me to know this is the way I felt at 19 yrs old..
Everybody keeps telling me ill be just fine
But they aint tellling me when
I can't sit here and pretend
That I don't have a broken heart and there's nothing to mend
Night after night prayer after prayer I always send
Hold my head at the same time it feels so heavy
Wanna be happy but its like the Lord won't let me
Forgive me father I know I have sinned thank you for my blessings
May I ask you one more thing?

This past Saturday we were at the park to take in some of Disney's Easter festivities. We're big fans of Halloween and Christmas decorations, and we're hoping to find something equally awesome for Easter. And while the decorations are certainly not as...extensive...as they are for those holidays, they were no less wonderful. The beautiful weather wound up making for a great day and some great scenery. Check these out.
Our day started with the Town Square. Already we're in awe of how beautiful things can be with added perspective.

And finally, for the main attraction, the Bunny Hop. Words cannot describe just how terrific this short little event was. It was about 10 or 15 minutes total. The Disney Rabbits, Mickey, Minnie, and The Dapper Dans took a leisurely stroll around Town Square, then did the bunny hop on Main Street right along side any and all guests who chose to dance with them. It was awesome, and pure chaos, and a terrific move on Disney's part. Any time you can let guests interact like this with characters etc is a huge win.

ART Auctions AND SALES
The 1993-94 auction season was dominated by the sales of celebrity collections and the exorbitant prices paid by admiring fans for artistic mementos. Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis of Germany, couturier Hubert de Givenchy, singer Barbra Streisand, and a 96-year-old former Chinese warlord, Zhang Xueliang (Chang Hsüeh-liang), were all delighted with the profits from the sales of their collections. The estates of U.S. millionaires Peter Sharp, famed for his Old Master collection, and Wendell Cherry, who favoured Impressionists and French furniture, also attracted feverish bidders. A buyer's market ensured that prices would not rise significantly. Many of the artworks offered for auction failed to sell. Auction houses, however, recorded a rise in seasonal turnover. Sotheby's turnover increased 19% and Christie's 14%. The Paris auction rooms recorded a 5.5% increase in turnover in the first six months of the year compared with the same period of 1993.
For once, profits were not dominated by prices for expensive pictures, whether Impressionists or Old Masters. For these works Sotheby's and Christie's reported level sales, although Impressionist paintings declined from the previous year. The decorative arts enjoyed buoyant sales, including strong performances for English and French furniture, European ceramics, and Chinese works of art, especially snuff bottles.
The growing number of private collectors buying directly from auction also increased. Traditionally, dealers bought at "wholesale" levels, but in recent years they had been joined at auction by private collectors who paid "retail" prices for furniture and pictures.
The first sensational auction of the season was Sotheby's 10-day sale of surplus furnishings from Schloss St. Emmeram, the Thurn and Taxis palace in Regensburg, Germany. The 6,596 lots sold for DM 31,417,712 (DM 1=$0.65), some 60% over forecast. Other princely families, including the Liechtensteins, Württemburgs, and Wittelsbachs, attended the sale hoping to embellish the furnishings of their castles, but the wealthy bourgeoisie outbid the royalty. A walnut wardrobe of c. 1720 commanded DM 80,500, three times the original estimate. A French Empire hound with an ormolu clock in its mouth fetched DM 29,900, six times more than expected.
Christie's Givenchy sale in Monaco was a rousing success and made F 155,533,200 (F 1=$0.19). The couturier had devoted 15 years to impeccably decorating his Paris apartment in 18th-century taste; he preferred the Baroque magnificence of the early years of the century and had acquired many pieces of royal provenance. It was the grandest furniture sale in many years and attracted acquisitive millionaires.
Muhammad Mahdi at-Tajir, former London ambassador of the United Arab Emirates and silver collector par excellence, paid F 19,980,000 for a silver chandelier designed in the 1730s by William Kent for King George II. It was a record price for silver. A Louis XIV library table by André Charles Boulle made F 18,870,000. The sale underscored a rise in the price for the best French furniture. A boulle bookcase, which was made by Étienne Levasseur in the 1780s and had sold at auction in 1982 for $209,000, made F 11.1 million, while a pair of Rococo ormolu candelabra supported by dragons made F 5.3 million after having sold in 1986 for $363,000.
The real connoisseurs' event in the field of 20th-century decorative arts was the sale of 143 pieces of furniture, designs, and drawings by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Scottish architect and designer. The items had been amassed over 50 years by Thomas Howarth, professor emeritus of architecture at the University of Toronto. A 1904 ebonized writing cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl brought £793,500 (£1=$1.59), the highest auction price ever recorded for 20th-century furniture, while a high, oval-backed oak chair fetched £ 309,500. Howarth made £2,270,000.
In April a Sotheby auction of Chinese paintings in Taiwan demonstrated that Asian buyers were just as enamoured of celebrity offerings as Westerners. Sotheby's attempted to sell the collection anonymously, but news soon leaked out. The 700-odd paintings, dating from the 10th century to around 1980, had been collected by Zhang Xueliang, a famous Chinese warlord who was held under house arrest in Taiwan for almost 40 years after he attempted to arrest Chiang Kai-shek in 1936. Every lot sold, and the collection brought NT$132,895,500 ($5,035,000), three times Sotheby's high estimate. A Sung dynasty painting of a spray of peach blossom made NT$16,550,000 ($627,000), four times the forecast price.
The widow of the U.S. millionaire Wendell Cherry, who founded the Humana hospital group and was one of the great art collectors of the 1980s, made Sotheby's summer by consigning paintings and furniture. Two of her Post-Impressionist paintings provided the top two picture prices--$11,662,500 for Gustav Klimt's "Lady with a Fan" and $7,592,500 for John Singer Sargent's "Spanish Dancer." The furnishings from Cherry's New York apartment, mainly French 18th century, made $13.7 million, including a Louis XIV boulle library table and filing cabinet, which commanded $2.2 million.
In the field of modern art, the best results were provided by a collection formed in the post-World War II years by H. Gates Lloyd and his wife, Lallie. One of David Smith's most famous sculptures, "Cubi V," made $4.1 million and Mondrian's "Composition No. 8" sold for $5.6 million. Both works made about double the projected estimate.
Specialty pieces and rarities also brought handsome profits. A 3,000-year-old Assyrian relief carving from the palace of Ashurnasirpal II at Nimrud sold for £ 7.7 million to Japanese dealer N. Horiuchi. The piece, which depicted a bearded divinity anointing a eunuch's back, had been rediscovered under a coat of whitewash in the tuckshop of an English public school. A Greek pottery water jar of the 6th century BC decorated with a scene of Hero battling the sea monster Ketos sold for £2.2 million; an Islamic bronze lion of the 11th or 12th century made £2 million; a 5.8-m (19-ft) Louis XV Savonnerie carpet, emblazoned with the royal arms of France, made £ 1,321,500 and established a record price for any carpet; and a blue-and-white Medici porcelain dish made around 1570-80 was sold for F 8.8 million, a new record for European porcelain.

The present patent application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 470,410 filed May 16, 1974 now abandoned, for the inventors in the present application.
This invention relates to a magnetic memory assemblage and more particularly to a magnetic bubble, field-access packaging arrangement.
Magnetic bubble, "field-access" memories are now well known in the art. A characteristic of such a bubble memory is the pair of coils which provides a magnetic field which reorients (typically rotates) in the plane of the material (chip) in which the magnetic bubbles move. The bubble memory chip is encompassed by the field generating coils. Therefore, provision must be made to interconnect electrical conductors defined on the surface of the chip to drivers external to the coils. Since these coils are disposed orthogonally with respect to one another, one fits within the other in the most practical arrangements to date. Since the power required to drive the coils increases as does the size of the coils, the coils are kept as small as possible, and they fit together rather closely. Therefore, space allocated for the passage of electrical conductors through the coils is increased at the expense of increased power requirements and it is advantageous to maintain that space small.
Moreover, heat dissipated in the volume encompassed by the coils is advantageously removed by provision of a heat conduction path through the coils. This too is provided at the expense of an increase in the size of the coils and thus an increase in power.
A magnetic chip, in which a bubble memory is defined in one embodiment herein, is mounted in a plane which is orthogonal to that of a dual-in-line connector base through which external contact to the magnetic chip is provided. The lead track arrangement supports the chip in a cantilevered position in that plane for receiving the orthogonal coil arrangement and provides for easy access for drive conductors and for heat dissipation.
The chip in one embodiment is elongated having one end thereof mounted directly onto one of a pair of laminated lead tracks. The lead tracks are laminated in an offset manner so that the first track abuts one edge of the chip. The second supports the chip and protrudes beyond the other edge of the chip. A lead track defined on the surface of the chip terminates at both edges thereof allowing for a reduced area of interconnection to the laminated lead tracks.
In a second embodiment, a plurality of chips are similarly supported by an extension of one of two lead tracks in a spaced-apart position to permit the provision of lead connections to the two lead tracks from one edge of the chips.
In each of third and fourth embodiments, conductor arrays are defined on a dimensionally stable insulating board, the resulting structure being apertured, in each instance, to define a cantilevered position for supporting a chip (or a plurality of chips) in the plane of the board.
The arrangements require relatively small space allowances for electrical conductors through the coils and provides, in at least one instance, increased heat conduction by intimate connection between the chip and the conductors of the one of the laminated lead tracks to which the chip is mounted.
FIG. 1 is an exploded projection view, partially cut away, of a bubble memory assembly in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the assembly of FIG. 1 showing the lead track arrangement and electrical continuity to the outside world;
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of a bubble chip indicating paths of bubble movement and showing conductors for interconnection with the assemblage of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an exploded projection view, also partially cut away, of an alternative bubble memory assembly in accordance with this invention.
FIGS. 5, 6, 7, 8, show top, projection and partially cut away exploded views of another embodiment of this invention in successive stages of assembly; and
FIG. 9 shows an exploded projection view of a portion of a multichip assembly similar to the assembly of FIGS. 5-8.
FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a magnetic bubble repertory dialer arrangement 10 in accordance with one embodiment of this invention. The arrangement includes a base portion 11, a chip support portion 12, a coil assembly 13, and a cap portion 14.
The arrangement is designed to contain a bubble chip intended for field-access operation. To this end, the chip support portion 12 includes first and second planar lead track arrays 15 and 16 bonded together in an offset manner to define a seat for a chip 17.
FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the arrangement of FIG. 1 taken along line 1--1'. The figure shows an insulating spacing layer 18 and a support layer 19 on which the lead tracks are bonded. The bubble chip is bonded to the conductors of lead track 15 in a manner to leave the tips of the leads of the lead track exposed for bonding to the right side of the chip as viewed in FIG. 2. The leads of lead track 16 are available for bonding to the left side of the chip also as viewed in FIG. 2. Lead wires 20 and 21 are representative of the interconnections between chip 17 and the leads of lead track 15 and 16, respectively.
FIG. 3 shows the permalloy and conductor patterns which define a bubble memory on chip 17. The bubble memory is defined in the usual major-minor organization. Such an organization includes a plurality of recirculating loops 21 and a major channel 22. Channel 22 extends between an input portion 23 and an expansion detector represented by the triangle-shaped area 24 to the bottom of the chip as viewed in FIG. 3.
Channel 22 follows a path which passes ports to the recirculating or storage loops. The ports are controlled, in a well-known manner, by conductors which extend upwards in the figure and terminate at the left and right edges of the chip for loops 1-8 and loops 9-16, respectively, as designated, for a representative 16 number storage capacity. Conductors 25 and conductor 26, the input and detector conductors, respectively, similarly terminate at the left and right edges, respectively. "End of dial pulse generator" conductors, designated 30 in the figure, are shown for completeness. A bubble repertory dialer of similar design is disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 443,960 filed Feb. 20, 1974 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,879,585 and assigned to the assignee of the present application. This application is now U.S. Pat. No. 3,879,585, issued Apr. 22, 1975. Since only the interconnection to conductors in such a dialer is important to the present invention, the operation of such a dialer is not discussed further herein.
It can be seen in the exploded view of FIG. 1 and in FIG. 2 that chip 17 abuts lead track 16 and is seated on the leads of lead track 15 for interconnection as represented by lead wires 21 and 20 of FIG. 2, respectively. Chip 17 thus can be seen to lie in a plane orthogonal to that of base portion 11. This is particularly clear from FIG. 2 which shows tracks 15 and 16 bent at right angles just to the left of the end of spacing (insulating) layer 18 as shown in the FIG. 2. A second bend in each track defines external leads 31 and 32.
The cantilevered position of chip 17 allows drive coils 40 and 41 to be slipped into position for providing a rotating drive field in the plane of the chip for effecting bubble movement in the familiar field-access mode. Coil 40 is the smaller of the two coils slipping over the chip and seating against the right edges of lead tracks 15 and 16 as viewed in FIG. 1. Coil 41 slips over coil 40 and seats against the base portion as shown in FIG. 2. Electrically conducting posts 42 and 43 are shown in FIG. 1 for interconnection to coils 40 and 41, respectively, as shown, for the provision of power to the coils from an external source (not shown) via associated ones of leads 31 and 32. The coils, of course, are made as small as possible and do not, in practice, have the end sections shown enlarged in the figures. The enlarged end sections are shown only for illustrative purposes.
Cap portion 14 houses a permanent magnet arrangement 50 for providing the familiar bubble bias field as well as ferrite plates 51 which make that bias field uniform. A high permeability shield element 53 (see FIG. 2) completes the assembly. The cap also is of high permeability material and provides, along with element 53, a protective shield against possibly harmful external magnetic fields. The lead tracks are conveniently potted in plastic as indicated by base portion 11 in FIG. 2 forming a shoulder against which cap portion 14 is seated when the package is assembled.
FIG. 4 shows a multiple-chip memory module similar to that shown in FIG. 1. A chip support portion 12', in such a module, includes a pair of lead tracks 15' and 16' in the multiple-chip module just as in the repertory module of FIG. 1. The lower lead track 15' is formed on an element which extends laterally to provide a support for the chips as shown. The chips, identified as 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d, are mounted on this extension and are spaced apart from lead track 16 to allow space for bonding to the leads of lead track 15 therebeneath. Stitch bonds interconnect lands on each of the chips to associated leads on the lead tracks. In a typical configuration, each chip includes 16,000 or 64,000 bits defined by permalloy patterns with special functions (i.e., generate, replicate, and detection) being controlled via the lead tracks.
In the embodiment of FIG. 4, also, the in-plane drive field is provided by a pair of coils 40' and 41'. But here, coil 41' fits within coil 40'. Coil 41' slips over the four chips and seats against the top edge of the lead track as shown in the figure. Coil 40' slides over coil 41' to seat against the lead tracks also as shown. Electrical interconnection to the coils is effected via posts 42' and 43'. The enlarged end sections of the coils are not shown in this figure, the form shown for the coils in this figure being more like the coil geometry actually used in practice.
The chip support portion, in the embodiment of either FIG. 1 or FIG. 4, is formed of laminated lead frames each of which is photo-etched from a copper based alloy and is nonmagnetic. Typically, each lead frame is about 3 mils thick and is geometrically stable. The two frames are laminated with a 4-mil insulating spacer and are mounted on a 4-mil insulating base support. The bubble chip itself is about 7 mils thick including the nonmagnetic garnet crystal substrate, the permalloy pattern, the aluminum conductors and the aluminum oxide passivating overlay. Therefore, the chip, when bonded to one of the lead tracks, has its top surface in the plane of the second lead track.
The formation of the lead tracks as a laminated pair for receiving bubble chips allows the formation of the chip support portions herein in a continuous chain fashion conventional in solid state component assembly. During manufacture, successive support portions, for example, may extend from a continuous rail or line for successive attachment of the chips before separation of successive support portions is effected.
In one specific embodiment, a bubble repertory dialer DIP as shown in FIG. 1 had a length of about one and one-half inches. The pack included an inner coil with inside dimensions of 0.130 × 0.180 × 0.015 inch and outer dimensions of 0.175 × 0.180 × 0.068 inch. The coil had eight layers of 2.6-mil wire, a DC resistance of 22.5 ohms, a Q ≅ 2 (3 with the ferrite cap) and an inductance of 152μ henrys. The outer coil had inside dimensions of 0.330 × 0.190 × 0.070 inch and outside dimensions of 0.410 × 0.190 × 0.170. This coil too had eight layers of 5.2-mil wire, a DC resistance of 10.8 ohms and an inductance = 276μ henrys. The current for the inner and outer coils was 25mA and 65mA, respectively. The power for the inner and outer coils was 10mW and 20mW for a 100 kilohertz rotating field for the memory. The bubble chip size was 280 mils by 125 mils; the bias field was 92 oersteds, and the rotating field was 30 oersteds (minimum). Output pulses of 263 milliwatts were obtained with 2 milliamperes current. An annealed iron cap portion was used and with the permalloy layer (53 in the FIG. 1) provided 23 dB shielding.
The invention has been described in terms of dimensionally stable lead frames which are bonded together in a manner to sandwich an insulating layer therebetween. The resulting sandwich structure, of course, is conveniently also fabricated by processing conductor clad plastic, fiberglas, ceramic or other insulating material. In this instance, dimensional stability may be provided by the rigidity of the insulating material and the conductors may be defined as thin film conductor paths.
In practice, dimensionally stable insulating films bearing a conductor pattern on each face thereof are particularly well adapted to continuous line type fabrication. FIG. 5, for example, shows successive insulating members 100 and 101 to which familiar continuous lead frames 100A and 100B are attached. Each insulating member is apertured, at its lower end, to define a portion 102 cantilevered in the plane of the member and defining a space 103 shown identified only with respect to member 100.
FIG. 6 shows a bubble memory chip 104 of the type shown in FIG. 3 attached to portion 102 and cantilevered into space 103. The figure also shows inner coil 106 along with a representative conductor array including conductors 107 for connection to chip 104. Coil 106 seats against portion 102 encompassing the cantilevered portion of chip 104 as does coil 40 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 also shows outer coil 108. Coil 108 can be seen poised to slide over portion 102, chip 104, and inner coil 106 in a manner similar to that shown for coil 41 in FIG. 1. Coil 108 seats against lip L.
Chip 104 has a bubble propagation pattern and conductor geometry similar to that shown for chip 17 in FIGS. 1 and 3 for a representative repertory dialer usage. As can be seen most clearly in FIG. 3, the conductor pattern terminates at both edges of the chip. Lead connections are made to the ends of conductors 107 conveniently by stitch bonding from the conductors terminating at the top (and left) edge of chip 104 as viewed in FIG. 6; corresponding to the right edge of the chip (17) as viewed in FIG. 3. Lead connections are similarly made to conductors illustratively connected to through connections 110 in portion 102. A conductor pattern illustratively on the underside of the insulating plane, as indicated by broken lines 111, provides electrical continuity to the leads of frame 100A. Lead frames 100A and 100B clip to lands at the termination of conductors 107 and 111, respectively.
A Watson magnet 112 (see 50 of FIG. 2) is placed over the outer coil 108 sliding into slot 113 shown in FIG. 7. Two plastic members 120 and 121 are molded to member 100 seating against conductor bars 110 of the lead frame shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. These plastic members are designed to allow egress of typically 0.7 × 10 mil conductors from the package.
The mechanical package is completed by attaching two shield halves, 125 and 126, as shown in FIG. 8. The resulting package is separated from the other packages of the line and the leads are bent and trimmed.
FIG. 9 shows a portion of a four-chip module fabricated in a continuous line arrangement in the manner described in connection with FIGS. 5 through 8. The figure shows a generally rectangular insulating member 130, apertured to define a cantilevered portion 131 which bears four chips 132, 133, 134, 135 each nominally 200 × 200 mils. Each chip may include nominally 16,000, 64,000 or 256,000 bits depending on whether the period of the field-access propagate pattern on a chip is 28 microns, 16 microns, or 8 microns. Conductor connections to lands for external interconnection may be made via conductor patterns on member 130 on one surface or both surfaces thereof as indicated in the figure.
Inner coil 138 slides over the four-chip arrangement and portion 131. Outer coil 139 slides over member 130 seating against lips 140 and 141. In experimental use, the resulting structure may be sandwiched between two flat coils (not shown) which are operated as a bias adjust and bubble annihilation coils to provide a magnetic field along the Z axis indicated by double headed arrow Z in FIG. 8.
The four-chip package is completed in the same manner as discussed in connection with the embodiment of FIGS. 5-8.
The coils in FIGS. 5-9 are shown with enlarged end portions also for illustrative purposes only.
A comparison between the embodiments of FIG. 1 and 4 on the one hand and of FIGS. 8 and 9 on the other indicate that the dimensionally stable conductor support may owe its structural stability to the rigidity of the conductor arrays or to the rigidity of the insulating member. Moreover, that dimensionally stable support is adapted to cantilever a chip, or chips in the vertical or in the horizontal planes with respect to a dip base as indicated in the figures.
What has been described is considered merely illustrative of the principles of this invention. Therefor various embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art in accordance with those principles within the spirit and scope of this invention as encompassed by the following claims.

The Marion County Lady Knights varsity softball team had two games this past week, playing Nelson County at home March 20 and going on the road March 19 to play Washington County. The Lady Knights came out with victories in both of these games, taking their overall record to 3-0. The team's game on Friday night at Bethlehem was postponed due to rain, with no make-up date announced as of press time.
Marion County 11, Nelson County 0
Junior Brooks Divine won the 110-meter hurdles for the second meet in a row, and senior Scott Hunt took the top spot in the 400-meter dash in the second straight meet when the Marion County track teams competed Saturday in LaRue County.
"We are expecting big things from those two guys," Coach Keith Brown said.
Full results from the LaRue County meet will be in next week's issue.
The Marion County Knights varsity baseball team picked up a win in their opener over Bardstown Tuesday of last week, lost to Danville Wednesday, and defeated Berea on Saturday. The teams other game, scheduled for Friday against North Hardin, was canceled due to rain. The Knights game against the Trojans is scheduled to be made up, but no date has been set. After the first week of the season, the Knights are 2-1 overall.
Marion County 7, Berea 2
The Marion County Knights boys' tennis team headed to Hodgenville to open up their 2012 season on Friday night against LaRue County. The Knights found success, and defeated the Hawks by an overall score of 4-1. Heading into the season, first year Head Coach Landon Williams knew that he would be returning a large group of key players.
"The boys' team returns seven players from last year's team, which performed at a high level," he said. "I'm anxious to see what this season has in store."
The Marion County High School girls' tennis team had a rough start to their 2012 season. The Lady Knights traveled to LaRue County, and were handily defeated.
Taylor Corbett fell to Michelle Seymour in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0. Alyssa Farmer fell to Nancy Howell, 6-2, 6-4. Elyssa Holt and Madison Cassidy lost to Paige Nalley and Amelea Miller, 6-4, 6-2.

- Staff changes: In FY 98/99 the Copy Cataloging Unit has undergone several position changes that have changed the look of the group quite a bit. In September '98 Charlotte Jordan resigned her position as LTA Supervisor to take a position at UF's Legal Information Center. Promoting up to replace Charlotte was Patsy Mongo who had been a Sr. LTA in the Unit. Patsy officially began her assignment as LTA Supervisor on October 16, 1998. As that major change was taking place Nancy Williams decided that she would like to devote more attention to the Authority/Data Quality Unit of CBS so it was decided that a replacement for the Copy Cataloging Unit head should be sought. In November Daniel Cromwell assumed the role of the Head of the Copy Cataloging Unit. As one of his first duties Daniel, with the help of Patsy and CBS Associate Chair Phek Su, drafted a modified description of the Sr. LTA position vacated by Patsy to begin the hiring process. Fortunately for the Unit, a great candidate, Becky Nero-Wall materialized and was hired on February 5, 1999. The Unit was at that point fully staffed. Unfortunately the Unit had to say good-bye to a longtime member of the team at the end of the FY, Kimberly Hunt who was the LTA responsible for Yankee approvals. Kimberly took a position at the Coastal Engineering Archive.
- Goza Cataloging Project: In October of 1998, the Unit staff completed the Goza project. 815 titles donated by William and Sue Goza were added to the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History.
- Education Textbook Project: This project was implemented in mid-May 1998 and was completed in September 1998. Over 500 volumes of textbooks were added to the Education Library.
- Baldwin Cataloging Project: In October of 1998 there were talks between the Copy Cataloging Unit, Special Collections, the Chair of Resource Services and a representative of the Humanities Unit to discuss the cataloging and bringing into LUIS of books in that collection. Fern Collins was chosen to be responsible for most of the cataloging since it was determined that this group of material consisted mostly of items with member copy. Trish Dana, an Archivist from the Humanities Cataloging Unit, looks over and revises Ferns work.
- Feature Film Videos: During the month of February after discussions about the workflow and the cataloging process Gloria Cockerham began cataloging of Feature Film Videos.
- End Processing: Becky Nero-Wall took over the supervision for end processing beginning in February 1999. Becky became the principal student overseer for the Copy Cataloging Unit.
- Unit Statistics:
Titles cataloged: Once again titles cataloged continued to rise. Following is a comparison of the last three years cataloging output statistics.
Distribution Statistics: In FY 98/99 monograph distribution was up from 31,026 to 37,827 volumes. This was not the case however for non-book material which decreased from 14,514 in 1997/98 to 8,518 in 1998/99. Copy and volume adds were up from 2,176 to 3,888.
Rush Processing Statistics: The amount of Rush Requests was up over last year by 83 requests. The percentage found slightly improved from 97% to 98%.

Some Restrictions about
Working with Text Strings
[Note: This webpage is intended for users of SiMPLE.]
|Click Here to Read About SiMPLE
As you probably already know, SiMPLE offers five different data types: Int, Int2, Float, Float2, and Text. Of these five, the Text data type requires some special attention since it is the only one that deals with non-numerical quantities.
As is pointed out in the SiMPLE tutorials:
Because of the unique way in which SiMPLE handles text strings,
the concatenation operation will not work as part of a task's (or
function's) calling parameters. For example, the program:
name = Keyin text ("Enter your name: ")
Output ("Your name is " + name)
will not compile. However, the program:
name = Keyin text ("Enter your name: ")
message = "Your name is " + name
Output (message)
will compile properly.
In addition, the keyword "Set" will sometimes not work with concatination statements. For example, the statement:Set a = "SiM" + "PLE"
will not compile. However, the statement:a = "SiM" + "PLE"
will compile properly.
On the other hand, the statement:a = "SiM" "PLE"
will not compile. But the statement:Output ("SiM" "PLE")
will compile properly! (It will display the word: SiMPLE )
Also, the program:name = "Robert"
So, it is possible to concatinate two or more strings when used as a task's (or function's) calling
Initializing a Text Array
Unlike with the numerical data types (Int, Int2, Float, and Float2), a text array can be initialized only in a Common
statement. For example, the following statement:
will generate an error message. But the statement:
Text a[3] = {"AB", "CD", "EF"}
will compile correctly.
Common Text a[3] = {"AB", "CD", "EF"}
(All of these restrictions are due to irreparable bugs in the SiMPLE compiler.)

The Savages."It's not something one often praises in a film, but there's a mundaneness to The Savages that is incredibly appealing," writes Matt Singer at IFC News. "The film is about a brother (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and a sister (Laura Linney) dealing with their ailing father (Philip Bosco). That is all. There is no wacky road trip where they all reconnect, or a romanticized bank heist that solves all their unaddressed problems. That simplicity is refreshing, even if the movie's tone is a little uneven." New York's David Edelstein finds it "a delightful movie - the perfect companion piece (and antidote) to the year's other superb convalescent-dementia picture, Away From Her.... [T]he funny bubbles up from the sad, the sad gives the funny weight." Updated through 11/30. "[Tamara] Jenkins's sweet and tart sensibility is located halfway between the compassionate satire of an Alexander Payne and the comic sang-froid of a Todd Solondz," writes Newsweek's David Ansen. "Linney, grinning like a teen-ager over her fibs, does her naughtiest, most secretive work yet," writes David Denby in the New Yorker. Earlier: Reviews from Sundance. Updates, 11/27: "Linney and Hoffman dutifully embody their roles, yet Jenkins never justifies having any interest in these cretins' plight," argues Nick Schager in Slant. "An instinctive provocateur, Jenkins gleefully rubs the more graphic symptoms of dementia in our faces - as well she should, given the emotional fallout of dealing with a man who covers a bathroom wall with his own feces," writes Ella Taylor in the Voice. "But the movie also comes with the wistful sadness of a maturing filmmaker who understands that in matters of death, sorrow and black comedy often walk hand in hand." Jenkins is a guest on Fresh Air. "If any film comedy prior to The Savages so fully earns the characterization 'painfully funny,' I'd like to know about it," writes Premiere's Glenn Kenny. "Or maybe I wouldn't. Tamara Jenkins's long-awaited sophomore directorial effort - her debut, the sharp and strangely sweet Slums of Beverly Hills, is nearly a decade old - would be a farce of mortification were it not for the sad but stout heart that centers it." Updates, 11/28: "Ms Jenkins has a gift for family brutality, but she herself isn't a savage talent," writes Manohla Dargis in the New York Times. "There isn't a single moment of emotional guff or sentimentality in The Savages, a film that caused me to periodically wince, but also left me with a sense of acute pleasure, even joy. It's the pleasure of a true-to-life tale told by a director and actors who've sunk so deep into their movie together you wonder how they ever surfaced." "It's kind of a bummer, then, that Jenkins cops out a bit at the end, tying up things a little too neatly for characters who have been so wonderfully ragged around the edges," writes Alonso Duralde for MSNBC. "But thankfully, the climax isn't so awful that it wipes out all of the film's wonderfully snappy, snippy, spiky dialogue and relationships." "One of the best movies of the year so far," declares the Los Angeles Times' Carina Chocano. "For a tender, uncommonly perceptive look at sibling relationships and a profound meditation on death and the meaning we draw from experience, The Savages is singularly funny and seriously moving." "In a welcome zap of cultural synergy, this week the Gallery Met opens an exhibit of artworks inspired by Hansel and Gretel, just in time to hold the sweaty, sibling hand of The Savages, Tamara Jenkins's warm, itchy, woolen jumper of a family film, as it sidles into the holiday fare fray," writes Michelle Orange at the Reeler. More a series of snapshots than family portrait, one figure is conspicuously missing from the frame: the Mother Savage. Shrugged off in a single line, her handling (as well, to some extent, as that of Lenny, who bears allusions to misbehavior that are vague at best) is symptomatic of the parental misfire in a series of recent adult sibling movies, including The Darjeeling Limited and Margot at the Wedding." Updates, 11/29: "[S]ince the movie only teeters on the brink of a pity party without relishing the mood, the grief doesn't venture beyond the point of softcore sadness," writes Eric Kohn in the New York Press. For Marcy Dermansky, "this well intentioned project... falls horribly flat." Tribeca has video of Jenkins, Linney and Bosco talking about The Savages. Ella Taylor profiles Jenkins for the LA Weekly, while Mark Olsen profiles Linney for the LAT. Michael Guillén talks with Linney. Updates, 11/30: Scott Tobias talks with Linney and Jenkins for the AV Club, where he writes: "As a sibling duo, Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman have a dynamic like Linney's with Mark Ruffalo in You Can Count On Me, at least in the sense that she's more together and responsible than her brother, though emotionally brittle in her own way.... The Savages charts their struggle with a humor and honesty that goes down surprisingly easy." "The Savages has been rapturously received, not entirely without reason - Linney and Hoffman are both typically excellent, mining coarse nuggets of emotional truth from the sediment created by years of buried discontent," writes Mike D'Angelo for Nerve. "But I also think people are just inordinately happy that Jenkins - whose only previous feature, the ticklish comedy Slums of Beverly Hills, came out nine long years ago - has finally made another movie." Mina Hochberg talks with Jenkins for Nerve. Online listening tip. Jenkins and Bosco are guests on the Leonard Lopate Show. "There's much more wrong than right with The Savages," writes Keith Uhlich at the House Next Door. "I can conceive of extended tortures more preferable to watching Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman (as Wendy's sad-sack professor brother Jon) play-act at sibling rivalry.... [T]here's no getting past the Actor's Studio performances of Linney and Hoffman, both awful, both confusing actorly tics and mannered tears for the subtlety and insight of a blood-tied familial relationship." "I wouldn't call the film inspirational - it is too well observed to succumb to easy sentiment - but its realism is patiently engaging and subtly insinuating," writes Richard Schickel for Time. "And Linney and Hoffman are extraordinary; refusing to beg for our sympathy, they earn it moment by quotidian moment in performances so good, so lacking in showy effect, that they are almost certain to be overlooked this awards season. But that's OK. Honesty tends to receive its own, more lasting rewards in our remembering hearts."
Posted by dwhudson at November 26, 2007 9:05 AM
If you're looking for a film in which the script parodies the constant "clarifications" of classic soap opera a its worst...in which there is not a moment in which hyperbole of word or action fails to replace reality or allows subtlety or understatemen...in which one very quickly begins to whisper the next line to one's companion...in which nothing from beginning to end seems have been said or done quite like that, in which every single sound effects from start to finish crashes in beyond rhyme or reason, this film is for you. I can't recall a more stupifyingly unpleasant treatment of a sad, tender, poingnant and inevitable experience. The biggest mysery is how actors of such caliber and clout allowed themselves to be led down such a dark path in terms of almost every reading, every action.Posted by: Richard A.

Course overview
Deakin's Bachelor of Criminology/Bachelor of Psychological Science brings together two independent degrees and combines them in an attractive four-year combined course. This course provides an accredited undergraduate sequence in psychology and includes complementary studies in individual and group counselling, health, and behavioural change.
Combining psychology with criminology provides students with broad theoretical and applied knowledge and skills concerning the meaning of crime; the forms, causes and consequences of crime; and the different institutions and processes involved in preventing and controlling crime. You will be provided with broad theoretical and applied knowledge and skills in relation to policy development, policing and security, and related fields. Topic areas include crime, justice, security and surveillance.
You should consider this degree if you are interested in pursuing a career in psychology or criminology, and particularly the many areas where psychology and criminology overlap.
You will have the opportunity to complete the Criminology Practicum in your final year of study, a unit that brings the professions to the classroom (including online via the 'cloud') with practitioner-driven seminars, activities bridging theory and practice, and the development of an e-portfolio that can be used for employment or career development.
In line with Deakin's commitment to providing flexible study options, you can choose to study the Bachelor of Criminology/Bachelor of Psychological Science full time or part time, at Waurn Ponds (Geelong) campus or via Cloud (online) mode. All subjects provide considerable online activities.
You will also have the opportunity to significantly fast-track your studies using Deakin's trimester system.
Professional recognition
This course is recognised for registration purposes by the Psychology Board of Australia, accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and enables you to undertake additional study in pursuit of professional registration.
Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is the standard full time load for one year of study.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A Commonwealth supported place is one for which the university receives some government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute only part of the cost of their course. To be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place you must be an Australian citizen, or a New Zealand citizen or holder of a permanent visa who will be residing in Australia for the duration of your unit/s of study.
* The "indicative annual course fee" cited has been provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking a full-time quota of units within the specified discipline.
The actual fees charged by Deakin University will depend upon the discipline from which each individual unit is chosen, and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2015 can be viewed from the Unit Search.
Please note that the fees per unit/credit point may increase annually due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on "indicative course fees" to calculate the total future cost of their course.
Career opportunities
Promising career opportunities await in the areas of criminology and psychology. Graduates may find employment in areas such as government agencies, state and federal police, security and intelligence agencies, research and policy development, correctional services, community services, and private security and consultative industries, as well as the many fields open to traditional psychology graduates.

The Last Second
Sylvia "Zeta" Cervantez is a pulp hero inventor in the 1930s whose Temporal Anomaly Generator can freeze time, if only for a subjective minute or two. Zeta lives in a city plagued by crime cults, super-villains, and more than its share of disasters. It's a city where having just that one extra second can mean the difference between life and death.
The Last Second is a turn-based action/puzzler game that re-creates Zeta's greatest adventures and most heroic moments. Each level of the game is a crisis moment when things are about to go very, very bad. Madmen are about to kill all the hostages in the bank. A bomb is about to explode in a crowded train station. A running gun battle between gangsters and police is blazing down Main Street. An invasion of aliens is landing in central park. Zeta stops time for just a moment and must change things in the environment so that when time starts up again and the action resumes, the situation resolves itself for the better of the innocent and the worse for the evildoers.
For example, in a gunfight situation Zeta might move an object to provide cover for an innocent in the line of fire, activate a door to seal a gangster inside, set off a fire extinguisher to put out a burning fuse, and move a friendly g-man into position to take the shot. Different objects take longer to interact with. Flipping a switch is just a second, while shifting a grown man takes much more time.
As the game progresses, the Zeta gains longer freeze periods as well as a variety of special gear to help her: glue bombs, oil slicks, and other gadgets offer new tactical advantages, as does the ability to call in other Pulp Heroes to help save the day. Of course they'll be frozen in time as well, so placing them in just the right position is vital. Likewise, Zeta might have a secret lab full of gear, but there's a limit to how much she can carry. You've got to plan ahead.
Over the course of the game the crises get more and more complicated and challenging, all wrapped together by an exciting pulp-hero storyline. Each level will be designed to accommodate a variety of strategies. Combined with experience points, leader boards, and other incentives, these features make for solid replay value.

Submission + - Microsoft: you need better AV than Security Essentials ->
Microsoft Security Essentials has previously flunked antivirus tests, but that's not why Microsoft is telling users to install third-party antivirus. Instead, the company said it's now focusing on identifying emerging threats, and passing that data to third-party antivirus firms to help them do better. "We're providing all of that data and information to our partners so they can do at least as well as we are," said Holly Stewart, senior program manager of the Microsoft Malware Protection Center. "The natural progression is that we will always be on the bottom of these tests. And honestly, if we are doing our job correctly, that's what will happen."

Yep, that's the one.
The main problem is that it's currently impossible to send binary data via XHR in Chrome without it getting eaten. What appears to happen is that everything gets "encoded" in UTF-8, which obviously is going to be a dog's breakfast. Even when using a BlobBuilder I just could *not* prevent things getting eaten when passing to xhr.send().
Firefox has a xhr.sendAsBinary() method that "just works". Nothing more needs to be said. Use xhr.sendAsBinary() instead of xhr.send() and all your problems are gone overnight. Oh, except for the fact that sendAsBinary() is non-standard and not supported in Chrome.
I ended up choosing the latter of two workarounds: using FileReader.readAsDataURL() (which encodes into base64) and unpacking the data: URL on the remote end, or using a FormData() object and using FormData.append() to place my File inside there.

Yes, but for those examples there are other barriers to entry.
To own your own home, you have to make a large financial investment.
And hire a qualified electrician to install cabling inside the house, to reinforce your point.
People try to draw a line between electric cabling and using a computer, based on the false assumption that if you screw up electric cabling you die, whereas if you screw up your own computer, it only affects you.
That's a bogus assumption because the reality is that we have this thing called the "Internet". You know, a community of networks, where computers actually talk to each other. And, you know, cause havoc on each other's networks.
If you crash the car in your own paddock, that's okay -- it's your car, and your paddock. But if you drive irresponsibly on the road, especially a highway, which is a commons of road drivers, you suddenly have the ability to cause a lot more harm.
It's the same with the Internet. If you own a PC, and you connect it to the Internet, you have a responsibility as a citizen of the Internet (and the world, pretty much) to be conscientious to others. An infected PC is not a laughing matter — you're actively harming someone or something whether you're aware of it or not. If you're not prepared to take due care, you should be treated like the cops would treat you if you were an unlicensed drive — you shouldn't be allowed on the Internet.
It's a social problem, not a technical one.

- Filed Under
The city of Waveland intends to tear down storm-damaged parts of the Garfield Ladner Pier, including the concession stand, ranger's house, and a bathroom, because they don't meet current Federal Emergency Management Agency flood plain regulations.
The city received three bids on the demolition work, ranging between $14,500 and $25,000, said Mayor David Garcia. Aldermen are reviewing the bids.
An on-going, multimillion lawsuit filed in 2012 against several companies that performed work on the pier after Hurricane Katrina is on hold while state officials review new briefs filed in the case.
In the suit, the city alleges the companies did not follow federal flood elevation guidelines and seeks to recover the costs of complying with federal ordinances and punitive damages.
The city received federal and state funds to repair and renovate the pier, which reopened in April 2009. The pier was damaged again in August 2012, this time by Hurricane Isaac, and has not reopened. The city has calculated the pier sustained about $900,000 in damage from Isaac.

This is Harold Jones
Had to share this man here. This is Harold Jones. I saw him playing with Tony Bennett on Saturday, and it was such a great drum lesson in swing and style. Here's a video from 1968 when he was playing with Count Basie. When Tony introduced him as coming from Basie's band, you knew the rhythm was going to be great, and it was.
And the funnier thing when you go to see someone like Tony Bennett, basically every song he sings is a hit. So it's hard to know when the show is over because he probably could've done 6-hours of hits (they're all standards) ! Every song they did, everybody knew - amazing. They did great re-arrangements of the classics and some entirely different interpretations as well, so it was nice that he and his band continue to re-discover the standards instead of just hacking through the old songs the way they were done 40-50 years ago.
For those of you wondering, Tony still has it. He was still hitting the notes, and there was a couple of times when he wasn't quite there, but was able to back off of it rather gracefully (you wouldn't know he was doing it unless you knew what to listen for). In one song I think he forgot maybe half a verse but with an 'eye-cue' to the band, the band took over and he came back in at the next verse. But other than those three instances, there were no other glaring issues in the two-hour show. I hope when the time comes, Tony retires in style and stops. I saw some of those old videos from Frank Sinatra's last concerts and it was sad, as great as Frank was, he should have stopped. He was missing notes and forgetting lyrics. Tony is not there yet.
