About ULVAC Technologies
Large pendulum valves having nominal diameters of 400 to 500 mm are extensively used as main valves for organic EL and other large deposition systems. The main parameter to consider while designing pendulum valves with nominal diameters of 400 mm or larger are to ensure resistance to the large forces (over 10,000 N (Newton)) generated when a differential pressure of 1 bar is applied to a valve plate and to keep costs down while satisfying performance requirements such as reduced vibration, reduced particles, easy maintenance and long maintenance cycle.
The developed mechanisms can be classified as:
Figure 1. The cylinder-in-valving element type in a released state
Figure 2. The cylinder-in-casing type, in a released state
This type of mechanism features a spring that is used for generating the driving force to force down the packing of the valve plate and a sliding o-ring or bellows used for sliding components in the valve body.
Traditional back pressure cancellation mechanisms are divided into:
The main user requirements for large pendulum valves are:
This paper describes the approach to meeting these requirements with the VFR series in terms of the basic principle of valve bodies and associated technologies in comparison with conventional technologies.
The mechanical lock type valve body mechanism makes use of cams, links and other thrust increasing parts, and some parts are unavoidably subject to locally intense surface pressures. Particle generation with this mechanism is difficult. The back pressure cancellation mechanism has no sliding parts in the driving force transmission route and so is superior to the mechanical lock type in terms of particle generation. Hence this mechanism was used for VFR series valves.
The back pressure cancellation mechanism of the cylinder-in-valving element type requires removal of the casing from the chamber for maintenance of the ring cylinder. This is a key disadvantage and a reason why this type cannot satisfy user requirement. Hence the back pressure cancellation mechanism of the cylinder-in-casing type was used as the basic structure of VFR series valves.
The cylinder-in-casing type is developed on the assumption that the rotary shaft can slide axially when the valve plate is sealed. The release of the valve plate causes the rotary shaft to be held in a fixed position by the shaft holding spring, which is not shown in the figures, but is located around the rotary shaft. The sealing of the valve plate causes the counter plate to be pushed by the spring and moved downward in the figure. The rotary shaft slides axially.
Figure 3 shows the external forces acting on the rotary shaft assembly. The rotary shaft assembly is the assembly of the rotary shaft and the counter plate.
Figure 3. External forces acting on the rotary shaft assembly
Equations of balance among external forces on the rotary shaft assembly during sliding of the rotary shaft are formulated. Typical values for pendulum values with a nominal diameter of 500 are substituted in the equations.
F1: Force required to axially slide the rotary shaft assembly
F2: Radial load applied by the slide bearing to the rotary shaft assembly
F3: Axial friction force applied by the slide bearing to the rotary shaft assembly
F4: Actuating force of the spring to axially hold the rotary shaft assembly
µ2:Friction coeffi cient of the slide bearing
L1: Distance from the center of the valve plate to the center of the rotary shaft
L2:Distance between two slide bearings
Balance in the Y direction:-F1+F3+F4=0 (1)
Balance around the point O:-F1L1+F2L2=0 (2)
Friction force:F3=2µ2F2 (3)
From equations (1) to (3), we obtain:
F1=F4/[1-2µ2 (L1/L2)] (4)
F4= 589 [N] (to bear a weight twice as heavy as the 30 kg valve body)
L1/L2=2.18 (typical proportion)
L1/L2=4.15 (for low-profi le products)
The relationship between F1 and µ2 is shown in Figure 4
Figure 4. Relationship between F1 and µ2
The L1/L2 ratio can be approximately determined on the basis of market-leading products, and here we adopt the L1/L2 ratio of 2.18. A higher L1/L2 ratio means lower-profile products. To study the potential of designing lower-profile products in the future, the L1/L2 ratio of 4.15 is adopted for this calculation.
A cylinder-in-valving element type was adopted with a neutral axis for the VFR series. A racket-shaped part, called an arm, is added to the valve body and connected to the valve plate via the arm and valve plate connection spring, which is mounted uniformly on the circumference. In this structure loads applied to the rotary shaft and the valve body do not increase divergently even when the friction coefficient of slide bearings worsens. The strength of the rotary shaft and the valve body is reduced and user requirements are satisfied.
The sealing mechanisms of the back pressure cancellation type, such as the cylinder-in-valving element type with a neutral axis that was adopted for VFR series, require two air cylinders. One is used for swinging the valving element like a pendulum from the closed position to the retreat position. The other is used for the up and down movement for sealing. The two cylinders need to be operated in a predetermined sequence, and they may be damaged if operated out of order.
An electromagnetic valve on the equipment side can control the operation sequence but a malfunction may occur when power is turned off or during maintenance and cause a problem. As a solution to this, the technique of integrating a mechanical sequence circuit that does not use electricity into a pendulum valve is gradually becoming the mainstream in recent years.
All the components except the speed controller were fabricated by and assembled them into a manifold block to make a compact sequence box that can be mounted as a unit. Figure 5 shows the mounted sequence box.
Figure 5. Mounted sequence box
This paper has described the element technologies of the valve body structure and the mechanical sequence circuit. These element technologies are intended to prevent trouble from occurring and it will take several years after the delivery of products to users to finally determine whether these technologies are effective or not.

The NFL awarded Randy Moss to the Tennessee on Wednesday -- given the Titans spot in the NFL's waiver order, a large number of teams declined to claim Moss.
A report from SI's Don Banks before the 4 PM EST waiver deadline indicated that Tennessee put in a claim, and it appears that Moss' reported unwillingness to show up to a non-contender's office may have put a scare in several teams, most notably the St. Louis Rams, who were actually favored to land Moss, but concerned with how he might affect a young locker room.
In fact, the NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reported Wednesday that the Titans were the only team put a claim in for Moss.
Fans of the NFL (and especially Tennessee fans) will recall that in the 1998 NFL Draft, with the 16th overall pick, the Tennessee Oilers made Kevin Dyson the first wideout taken ... five spots ahead of where Moss was selected by the Vikings.
Clearly Moss' addition makes the Titans a better team -- Chris Johnson will see less stacked boxes and if Kenny Britt is able to return (which isn't guaranteed, and may be part of the reason why the Titans targeted Moss), he'll be facing single coverage frequently.
Vince Young's ability to scramble and improvise should work quite well with Moss' deep speed (and, by the way, Young's the top-rated passer in the NFL right now), and Moss should be absolutely drooling when he looks at the Titans remaining schedule: after the Titans Week 9 bye, they face Miami (12th in the league against the pass), the Redskins (30th), the Texans (32nd) twice, the Jaguars (28th), the Colts (7th) twice, and the Chiefs (23rd).
Quickly following the news that the Titans were awarded Moss, multiple reports indicated that the wideout would report to Tennessee, and his agent, Joel Segal, confirmed that in a statement Wednesday.
"Randy is looking forward to coming to Tennessee," Segal said via Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean. "He is ready to play."
The Titans are excited as well, clearly.
"We are always looking for ways to improve our roster," said Titans GM Mike Reinfeldt, according to the Titans Twitter feed. "Randy is obviously a Hall of Fame player, [and] has the ability to be a difference maker for our offense."
Jeff Fisher added that, "We had an opportunity to upgrade our offense and Randy has been a tremendous threat where ever he has been. We will bring him up to speed as quickly as possible."
Andrew Brandt of the National Football Post reports that the Patriots and Vikings will each foot $1.5 million of Moss' contract, while the Titans will pick up the remaining $3.4 million because of their waiver claim.

Randy will see this as a last chance. He fails here, he is done as far as receiving any kind of contract next year. Randy realized this last week when the Vikings were beaten by the Patriots and there were far too many ego's in Minnesota for his liking. Tennessee is almost off the radar (no offense) but outside of the state, you rarely hear of them. If Chris Johnson played for another team in a larger market, the sky would be the limit. This is a good fit for Randy Moss. It is up to him to fit in, he will view this opportunity just as he viewed New England in 2007. Not saying he will break records, but he has a chance to excel and if he is like any other athlete in a contract year, he wil be fine. If not, no one to hurt but himself. Go titans

Moss is a liability to any team he is on right now with his rude comments and thinking he all that attitude. He remind me of the Atlanta Braves closer a while ago named John Rocker with his attitude and putting people down. The comments that he made to the Vikings about the restaurant that served them Fridays practice dinner made me think of him as a football version of John Rocker and if I was a team owner i wont not have signed him or pout in a claim on him for the simple fact that somebody with that attitude clearly is in it for himself when its supposed to be a team effort. Moss i hope you pull your head out of your butt and grow up. You may be a Star in New England but they didn't want you back. Get over yourself.

Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki caught the backlash of an Alexei Ramirez swing right on the elbow Sunday and doubled over in pain. After a few seconds, he stood up, flexed his arm once or twice, walked around for a few seconds and then went back and squatted behind the plate.
"Let's go."
The day before, an inside pitch ricocheted off of batter Gordon Beckham and nailed Suzuki in the collarbone. He tentatively checked to make sure nothing had chipped off. Then he rubbed it -- hard -- spat in the dirt and announced he was ready to resume play.
"Ahh, it's part of the job," he said after Sunday's 6-5 victory over Chicago. "It's a rough part of the gig, but it is what it is and you just have to keep going. I'm fine. A few little dings here and there.
This guy is old-fashioned scrap iron behind the plate and you can make a case that he has been the Twins' most valuable player to this point in the season. Suzuki is hitting .321 and has been particularly effective in the clutch. That's great, even if it's unexpected. Anyway, Suzuki says he'll take it. But his main function, his primary purpose, as he sees it, is running the game from behind the plate.
And if there's one thing that Twins pitchers have learned this season it's that you don't shake off Kurt Suzuki.
"When they do, he gets really irritated and lets them hear about it in the dugout," manager Ron Gardenhire said." And then we hear about it. We have a little fun with that. He has a good plan going into it.
"There was one time this year where I shook him off and I threw the wrong pitch and I walked a guy," Kyle Gibson recalled with a laugh. "And he came out to the mound and he said, 'I let you get away with that one. We ain't doing that again.' But he was right. He's really good back there and he's been very helpful to me."
The Twins signed free-agent Suzuki to a one-year contract over the winter. The plan was for him catch the majority of the games early while Josmil Pinto developed behind the plate and eventually took over. But the Twins clearly misjudged Pinto's defensive capabilities. The kid wields a big bat but does a poor job of both calling a game and handling a pitching staff. His catching mechanics are downright clunky.
Pinto now is back in Rochester trying to figure it all out. Meanwhile, Suzuki has become an iron man at the position and has led a resurgent pitching staff. He caught all four games of the series against the White Sox. Sunday, he had three more hits.
"I don't even worry about hitting." Suzuki said. "Maybe that's a good thing, right? When we put up zeroes, I feel better at the plate for some reason. We put up zeroes and I feel more confident and I just feel better about myself."
Starter Phil Hughes didn't have much in the series finale. Suzuki knew it early. He uses the pregame warm-up in the bullpen and then the first inning to gauge just what a pitcher has working. But there are days when a pitcher doesn't have much of anything.
"Well, that's the fun part of the job," Suzuki said. "They have to bear down and try to mix things up. You pick your spots for certain type pitches."
He helped get Hughes through five innings and earn a victory.
"Since day one in spring training, he's been eager to catch bullpens and to learn what we like to do and get to know the staff," Hughes said. "His scouting reports are meticulous and he reads swings with the best of them and knows exactly what guys are sitting on and looking for."
And Hughes rarely shakes off a sign. He knows better. Meanwhile, Suzuki almost looks hurt when asked about his reputation for having the attitude of, "You just throw what I tell you to throw."
"Listen, I'm a suggestion box," he insisted. "If a guy shakes me off and he feels a hundred-percent conviction in throwing that pitch, throw it. Obviously, if he doesn't throw it in the right spot, we're going to talk about it a little bit. I don't tell guys you have to throw this. I'm going to strongly suggest you throw a certain pitch."
And if they don't?
"I'm a suggestion box with strong suggestions," he noted.
He runs the game from behind the plate on a daily basis just like an old-school, scrap-iron catcher. So far, it's worked out perfectly for the Twins, who might want to be proactive and see if he's interested in sticking around for another year or two.

More detail on SA-bound Alfa Romeo 4CComment on this story
Barely two weeks after showing us its sumptuous lines in final production guise, Alfa Romeo is now telling us just how brutal its new mid-engined 4C coupé is.
Its direct injection 1750cc turbopetrol engine pushes 179kW, although the torque figure is still unknown.
It's an evolution of the direct injection engine already used in the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde, with improvements having been made to the block, intake and exhaust systems.
A quintessential sports car in every respect, the 4C has a long bonnet, generously flared fenders and two bucket seats perched in front of an engine that sends its power to the back wheels. This takes place via Alfa's TCT twin-clutch transmission, which can be operated via flappy paddles.
Thanks to its compact dimensions - it's less than four metres long and just 118cm high - and extensive use of carbon fibre and aluminium, the 4C has the weight to power ratio of an authentic supercar, weighing less than 4kg per unit of horsepower.
Alfa Romeo has also revealed its interior for the first time, as you'll see in the accompanying picture.
The cabin was designed to convey maximum driving sensation from the road and features a carbon fibre central cell and full bucket seats made from composite material.
The steering wheel houses digital instruments and gear shift controls, and information is conveyed through 'high-impact' graphics.
The driving experience can be tailored via Alfa Romeo's DNA selector, which adds a 'Race' mode to the familiar Dynamic, Natural and All Weather settings.
The 4C will spearhead the Italian marque's global expansion plans, which also include a return to the US market. Our contact at Fiat SA, Richard Sloman, told us that the 4C is coming to South Africa, but he doesn't see it arriving here before the first quarter of 2014.

Photo Credit: Baekje Cultural Festival Promotion Committee
The 59th Baekje Cultural Festival will take place in the county of Buyeo in Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do for nine days from September 28 until October 6, 2013.
The Baekje Cultural Festival began in 1955 as a ceremony held at a mountain fortress by Buyeo citizens to commemorate Baekje's three loyal subjects (Seongchung, Heungsu, and Gyebaek). From then on, the festival has been held annually to promote the culture of Baekje by letting visitors experience its culture and history in a glance.

After receiving a sample of Greens+ Chia Seeds, I knew I wanted to try them in some different ways.
First, I used them in some muesli the other morning – very good and filling, too! I wasn't hungry for about 5 hours after that meal.
I kept seeing my ripe bananas on the counter and knew banana bread was going to happen, but I wasn't sure how I could use the chia seeds, too.
I found this recipe on the Greens+ website for Chia Banana Bread and modified it a little for what I had on hand.
Really – is there anything better than the smell of banana bread baking in the oven?
Nick and I were both very happy with how this turned out.
For this loaf, I ended up using the following:
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds, soaked in 1/4-1/2 cup water and set aside for 5-10 minutes
- 1/2 cup white/ap flour
- 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1.5 tsp lemon juice
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 mashed bananas
- 1 Tbsp melted butter – yes, REAL butter
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- Mix the chia + water and let sit while you get the rest of the ingredients ready or until they've started to gel.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together (flours, baking powder, salt).
- In separate bowl, beat egg with juice and brown sugar. Add in mashed bananas, chia seeds, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Add wet mix to flour mix until combined.
- Fold in nuts or mix in of your choice.
- Bake in greased loaf pan at 350 for 50 – 60 minutes.
The outside of this loaf of banana bread got so dark! I loved it.
And you just can't beat walnuts in banana bread.
If you have chia seeds, try this recipe! You won't be disappointed.
If you still haven't tried chia seeds and you'd like to, just email Diane from Greens+ at firstname.lastname@example.com and let her know that you're a Bran Appetit reader who would like to sample chia seeds. That's it! Easy, huh :)
What's your favorite "kitchen" smell?
I have a few:
- chocolate chip cookies being made
- banana bread baking
- my mom's pizza casserole dish
- bacon crisping up

I made your Chia Bread recipe last night, but made a few tweaks with it since I am trying to stay away from white flour. I eliminated the all purpose flour for Garbonzo Flour and I added 1/4 cup of honey too. Thank you for your recipe, I thought the texture and taste was great.. plus my kiddos loved it for breakfast. I was just introduced to Chia Seeds a few weeks ago and love that I can bake with them too. Thank You!!

A few weeks ago I received a question from a military wife who was distressed about her husband's behavior during a recent R&R. I've asked Army wife Rebekah Benimoff to respond to her. Rebekah has experience and wisdom in both reintegration issues as well as combat trauma. (Her husband Roger chronicled his journey with PTSD in the book Faith Under Fire.)
Since I believe many others can benefit from this conversation, as well, below you can read the original question as well as Rebekah's response.
Question: My husband is currently deployed in Afghanistan and has just come home for his 2 week leave. It seems as though we keep arguing about every little thing. I really didn't want it to be like this. We were never like this before. We have grown up with each other (we got married very young) and have become such a good team and best friends. I know that there is an adjustment period that need to take place, but it is very concerning for when he comes home permanently. How do I give him his space, yet make sure everything gets done? He asked me not to make ANY plans, he just wanted a relaxing time at home with the kids and I, to sit on his couch and sleep in his bed, yet he keeps asking me what we are doing???? I have gone to all the Yellow Ribbon events and they talk about the reintegration process, but I guess this has been a true wakeup call that it is not going to be as easy for even he and I, that I expected it to be. I made one mistake when I went to kiss him on his forehead before I left for work. To be truly honest, I almost did not bend over to kiss him because I was scared I would startle him, so I was not surprised by his actions, but I really I scared him and he almost hit me in the face. He felt so bad, he was in tears most of the day. I think he didn't expect that he would react like that. The one thing that I realized on that instance, was that his mindset was not at home still, but two weeks is not enough time to feel normal again. And maybe normal will never be like it was before and that scares me more than anything. How do we get through this successfully? And now, I have to send him back…heartbreaking to say the least.
Dear military wife,
If I were to suggest anything, it would be first and foremost, pray. Start praying now for the re-integration process, and anything else in your relationship that may be of concern. Prayer is the most powerful tool we have. Never forget that! As wives, we cannot look into our husbands heads and hearts and see the struggles, but God can. He knows your husband better than you do, better than your husband knows himself, even. It is not a bad idea to get in the habit of praying over every little decision. And every big one. Shortly after Roger came home, I began to read, The Power of A Praying Wife. This was a great book at the time, to help me develop the habit of moment by moment prayer. It also helped me become more introspective and ask myself questions like "What am I really feeling, and why am I feeling that way?"
Pray that God would give you wisdom in relating to your husband. Pray that He would heal the wounded places in both of you so that you can relate to each other better. Pray that God would show you when to speak and when to just let something go– even something really irritating. Pray that He would give you both tools to communicate needs to each other and pray that you will be able to rely on God's strength and not your own.
Second, I would say to be prepared mentally for change. Remind yourself often that healing and adjusting to being back home takes time. I cannot emphasize this enough. I remember my husband being easily startled, as well. I also remember that when we drove anywhere, if he saw trash on the side of the road he would say, "In Iraq, that would be a bomb." A dirty diaper in a ditch was life threatening there, and as you said, the process of transitioning from a war mindset to a "home and safe" mindset takes time. The soldiers are on high alert all the time. They never really get to completely let down their guard and it does take some time to adjust and learn to let their motor run normally when they get home. You shared that you are afraid that things will be "normal" again. Let me say that perhaps things won't be exactly the way they were, but in time, God will help you adjust to a "New Normal". Just like when your family expands to allow a new member and there is an adjustment process, it takes time for the whole family to adjust– some more than others– and there may be bumps along the way, but eventually, there is a "new normal". Not the same as it was, but in so many ways, the New Normal can be better. The new normal can bring you closer, make you better as a family, as a couple. It will take some work and some understanding on your part. Remember that you can rely on Someone other than yourself for wisdom and insight.
Third, understand that each time you re-integrate it may look differently. When Roger was preparing to come home from his second deployment I thought it would be much like the first time we had to re-integrate. After all, he was in charge of the 3 month re-integration classes that all of the families in the 3rd ACR had to go through, and so we did MUCH preparing over the phone before he ever came home. He asked me about my expectations, I asked him about his. We tried to communicate as much as possible, and plan ahead, "be prepared" for the process. He said he wanted to have time to unwind. I said, I'm not sure what to expect, but I will try to tell you as soon as I know (even if I only become aware of it in the moment). We planned ahead more than most people because we went thought the process he was teaching others as he was putting the materials together. But things were often different than what both of us thought. This brings me to number four:
Be prepared to be flexible. There are so many unknowns, so many things that you can try to plan ahead for- and these preparations are wise and helpful, not to be neglected, by any means. Communicating expectations is a great way to start. As you shared in your own example: He wanted to rest, but you felt that he was relying on you to plan things. You were confused as to your role. So share expectations and anticipated needs, but remember that expectations can change, and unanticipated stresses or events can throw the best made plans off kilter. Pray as you plan– and pray as you adjust the plan to meet the needs of the moment.
On this note, I have to add that I often find myself in need of a trip to the altar. Not the altar at church, but the altar of my own heart. Like the story of Abraham where God told him to go up the mountain and offer Isaac as a sacrifice to Him. Abraham believed the promise that God had given ONLY through Isaac (He'd certainly learned that lesson the hard way). Abraham believed that God would do something, but that did not lessen the pain of the journey up the mountain. The anticipation of the difficult–no, heart breaking thing he must do. The temptation is to meet God at the altar with the one we love, and climb up there and plop down next to them. We may be saying something like, "Ok God, do your thing, and I'm here to help you along."
Or we can leave them on the altar but keep looking for the ram in the thicket. "Alright, Lord, when are You going to provide that Way Out?" Sometimes we don't recognize that He IS the way out. The way out of ourselves and deeper into Him.
True surrender is putting your loved one, your marriage, your future, each on the altar, acknowledging the pain of letting go, and the fear of the unknown, and choose to trust. Your husband is God's project, not yours. Your mission is to walk faithfully where God tells you to walk , and choose to trust Him for the rest. Understand that surrender is not for God, it is for us, because surrender sets us free.
Choose to trust that God will provide what you need, when you need it. Now, let me clarify something here. Some may say, IF I could choose to trust, blink my eyes and tap my toes together like Dorothy in the wizard of OZ, and magically "just trust", I would not be writing with these questions. That is not what I mean. When I say choose to trust I mean that you take each fear, each need, each concern to the altar each and every time it comes up. Some people picture nailing them to the cross. In moments of difficulty this can mean daily surrender, hourly even. Sometimes moment to moment. This does not mean you ignore the worries, or push them away. It means you acknowledge them and take them to the altar every time. Surrendering the fears moment by moment, all day, every day. All the while asking God to equip you and BE your strength.
Know that you are not alone. Not only are there many other military wives walking a similar road, but God will walk your own road with you. It may feel lonely at times, but you are never alone. Sometimes He holds us in his hands, and sometimes, He holds us in His heart. Draw near to Him and let Him be everything you need, moment by moment. My prayer for you is that you will discover more of Him each and every day and that you will allow Him to carry you through the difficult places in the road.
Rebekah Benimoff

Tuesday June 26, 2012 Six Gators on a mission ... to Africa
Updated: 10:51am, June 27
Updated: 10:51am, June 27
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- A half-dozen University of Florida athletes arrived Monday in Africa.
Only one of them, Gators basketball player Will Yeguete, speaks French, the native language of Republicque de Cote d'Ivoire, formerly known as Ivory Coast, in western Africa.
"He lived there for 10 years," UF center Patric Young said of his teammate and best friend. "Will's probably the most important person on this trip. He's going to be our translator."
Young and Yeguete, football players Trey and Clay Burton, along with track and field athletes Katrina DeKrey and Ashley Miller, are on the Athletes In Action-sponsored mission, where they'll spend nearly a week in Abidjan, the third-largest French-speaking city in the world.
"We have a chance to impact some lives," Young said.
They had to wait to get started.
The six were scheduled to leave Friday from Jacksonville to Newark, N.J., then to Belgium, then to Africa. Instead, weather postponed their departure overnight. On Saturday, they were re-routed to Houston, then to New York, then to London and finally reached their destination early Monday.
While in Abidjan, the group of Gators will work with Ivory Coast athletes and demonstrate various skills and training methods.
Young and Yeguete will work with basketball players; the Burton brothers will focus on strength and conditioning; DeKrey, a sprinter, and Miller, a thrower, will offer their expertise in track and field events.
The UF athletes are scheduled to return Saturday.
"When I was younger, I always dreamed of the opportunity of going to Africa. It's just something in my life I've always wanted to do," Young said. "But to be able to go over there, see a new country and work with some people who love the game of basketball, it's really means a lot to me."

Noblaie's rosé is produced from younger Cabernet Franc vines, which are planted in the deeper soils at the base of the hillside vineyard. It has a clear and smooth pink color, deep, rich aromas of watermelon and cranberry and loads of lovely fresh red fruits on the palate. The 2011 is fruity, clean and refreshing, but with powerful volume. Without even a touch of sweetness, the finish is bracing and refreshing.

Among the things that have happened today:
Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day.
Happy 9-9-9 Dom.
My wife is quite happy that Noynoy is running for President. I have to say, thought, her view may be more emotional rather than good political judgement.
What do you think? is it a good thing?
Having been burned by politicians one time too many, I'm taking a cautious stance, but overall, I do think it's a good thing. I want an honest Christian man in office, and I like to think the fruit does not fall far from the tree.
Regards to your wife. ;-)
PS Postcards out later this week. Just finishing some stuff.
Thanks for the plug Dom ^_^ReplyDelete
"....the fruit does not fall far from the tree."
So Kris would make a good Prez too?
Just kidding. :)

Mayor focuses on economy in State of the City address
February 7, 2012
By Warren Kagarise
Mayor Ava Frisinger highlighted a more muscular economic development effort and a reshuffled City Hall structure in the State of the City address — the speech to set Issaquah leaders' agenda for the months ahead.
The address, delivered Feb. 6, days after the city announced employee layoffs, echoed a top priority from the City Council — a concerted effort to attract businesses to Issaquah and convince established businesses to remain in the city. The effort to remake City Hall functions also dominated the speech.
"A major focus for 2012 will be enhancing our economic vitality, which is a community's capacity to be economically competitive, resilient and attractive to both private and public enterprise," Frisinger said.
Under a reorganization plan prepared by Seattle consultant Moss Adams and delivered late last year, the city focused on efficiency and effectiveness. The consultant discovered different cultures, expectations and management styles across municipal departments. Moss Adams pointed out the differences in coordination, scheduling and tracking across departments.
"In the end, our goal is to enhance customer service, find efficiencies and prepare our city for the years and decades ahead," Frisinger said.
Though the reorganization emerged as a strong theme, Frisinger also used the address to spotlight ongoing projects.
Bellevue College continues a long process to open a campus in the Issaquah Highlands.
"We are working closely with the college to ensure this new campus meets our community needs and fits the look and feel of our fine city," Frisinger said.
Transportation projects remain a focus for city planners, especially as the city considers a public-private partnership to improve roads near the Costco corporate headquarters and flagship warehouse.
The address also reflected on accomplishments from 2011.
The long-running effort to preserve Park Pointe — a slice of Tiger Mountain forest near Issaquah High School — ended in March 2011, after more than a decade of public and behind-the-scenes negotiations to halt construction of hundreds of houses once proposed for the land. Under the agreement, officials instead steered development from the Park Pointe site to land in the highlands.
Leaders also opened zHome, a city-led project to showcase "green" homebuilding practices in a multifamily setting. The townhouses in the Issaquah Highlands use zero net energy and 70 percent less water than a traditional home. The community is the first carbon-neutral and zero-energy multifamily community in the United States.
Frisinger also used YWCA Family Village at Issaquah to illustrate how the city and nonprofit organizations forged partnerships. The complex offers 146 rental units in a "green" setting for people employed in Issaquah but unable to afford other housing in the city.
"Bringing this much-needed affordable housing to the highlands was 15 years in the making for both King County and the city of Issaquah," she said.
The latest State of the City address came as Frisinger and other leaders offer a renewed focus on economic development and reorganized City Hall operations.
City Administrator Bob Harrison announced details about the economic development effort late last year. The plan calls for Keith Niven, the longtime Major Development Review Team manager, to serve as economic development director and to hire economic development managers.
Frisinger delivered the State of the City address later than expected, because a snowy forecast prompted city leaders to cancel the Jan. 17 council meeting and reschedule the speech.
The annual address is the initial step to outline budget priorities for the city. The spring City Council goal-setting session and the autumn budget announcement also shape the municipal agenda.
In the 2011 address, Frisinger predicted "a momentous year for Issaquah" — and many milestones outlined in the speech came to pass in the months soon afterward. In addition to the landmark Park Pointe preservation, city leaders opened ultra-"green" Eastside Fire & Rescue Station 72 and joined Swedish Medical Center to inaugurate the Swedish/Issaquah campus.
Frisinger paid more attention to fiscal issues in the 2010 address. The mayor delivered the message months after the city shed employees and cut spending amid the economic downturn.
"While our to-do list is long, our commitment to fiscal responsibility is paramount," she said in the 2012 address. "Budgets are tight, but I am confident we can continue providing the high-quality customer service that Issaquah is known for."

Anna Bager, Joe Laszlo | February 12, 2014 | Comments
The Interactive Advertising Bureau has launched a new effort called "Make Mobile Work," calling on brand marketers to step up and embrace HTML5 as the key technology for creating engaging cross-screen ad creative.
Much of what the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) does on a mobile front, we do to make the lives of brands and agencies easier: reducing the friction, cost, confusion, or complexity of adding mobile to the media mix. In general, in our efforts to standardize mobile ad sizes and measurement, demystify mobile discrepancies, track the evolution of phone and tablet audience measurement, and others, ad buyers emerge as the beneficiaries, without having to do much except stay informed about what we're working on and push ad sellers to adopt, comply, or conform.
This week's call to action is a little different. For the sake of better, richer mobile and cross-media advertising, IAB has launched a major new effort called Make Mobile Work. And for mobile to really work - for mobile advertising to fulfill its potential - we need brand marketers to step up and help.
Today, half - or sometimes even more than half - of media consumption happens on mobile devices (phones or tablets) and increasingly we start on one screen and move seamlessly across others. Viewers assume that content can adapt to this behavior seamlessly, and that means that advertising must follow suit. After all, advertising is about solving a marketer's objective of reaching their customer and getting a message across. It's not about platform. Ad creative must render on mobile screens and/or across screens of different sizes. This does not always happen today, and as a result important messaging relationships get lost.
Marketers need to focus on this reality to ensure the success of their campaigns and brand building. We believe that giving marketers tools and educating them to ask the right questions will make this transition happen faster and more successfully. Make Mobile Work is a call to action and an educational outreach effort aimed at getting all marketers aware of, and excited about, HTML5 as the key technology for creating engaging mobile and cross-screen ad creative. HTML5 (which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language version five), is the latest revision of the industry-standard language for creating Web content. And while we normally think of HTML as being about creating entire pages, it equally applies to creating elements on pages, including ads. HTML5, a dramatic improvement over its predecessors, enables mobile ads that are better, richer, more dynamic, and more interesting. And it's not just for mobile alone; HTML5 works on PC browsers, and increasingly will help power smart TVs as well. So embracing HTML5 and tools that can create content in it will enable ads that can scale across different devices and screen sizes.
What are we asking for, exactly? If you're a marketer, you may be worrying at this point that the IAB is going to send you back to design school to master the nuances of < img> tags , Web canvases, or drag-and-drop events. Not at all. The technical ins and outs of creating digital ads can stay safely in the hands of those who know them best. But we do believe that marketers need to care about HTML5, and start insisting that their creative agencies care about - and master - it as well. The days when the mobile piece of a campaign can be an afterthought animated GIF are behind us. Your mobile customers deserve better!
We launched Make Mobile Work at the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting in Palm Desert this week, via an open letter to marketers signed by the IAB and 16 of our members with the call to marketers to insist on HTML5 in every ad campaign they run. Over the course of 2014, we will follow that with a steady array of research and case studies on iab.net and a webinar series exploring different aspects of HTML5. We'll also continue our work exploring and writing about the ramifications of HTML5 for ad creation, helping designers understand and work with it better.
Media companies have been pushing steadily into the cross-screen future. Content publishers of all stripes have embraced and deployed mobile websites and apps, and redesigned their PC websites using responsive or adaptive technologies to make them more flexible across different-sized screens. As the pages get more flexible, so should the ads, and HTML5 is a major ingredient in enabling that.
The statistics have been repeated so often we're probably all a little tired of them, but they are still the reason for all this: According to the latest IAB Harris survey, 57 percent of American adults have smartphones and 44 percent have a tablet. And what are they doing on these devices? Everything. Marketers, agencies, and ad sellers alike stand on the verge of an exciting cross-screen, omni-screen future. Although it requires change from the status quo, embracing HTML5 (along with helper technologies like responsive or dynamic creative, MRAID for in-app ads, and others) is the best way to address, serve, and ultimately advertise to phone and tablet audiences.
Anna Bager, senior vice president, mobile and video, brings together two of the digital media and marketing industries' most significant growth platforms under her leadership. The IAB Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence, an independently funded and staffed unit inside the IAB, charged with driving the growth of the mobile marketing, advertising, and media marketplace. The Digital Video Center focuses on tying together various IAB video activities - including Advanced TV, Digital Video, and the Digital Content Newfronts - providing a one-stop shop for thought leadership, innovation, research, and guidance for the burgeoning digital video industry.
Prior to joining the IAB Bager was heading business intelligence at Ericsson Multimedia and head of research at Ericsson's Business Consulting unit. Earlier, she was research and consulting manager for IDC EMEA. Business Insider named Anna to the Most Important Women in Mobile Advertising in 2012, 2013, and 2014. And one of the 2014 top women in media by Folio Mag.
As the senior director of the Interactive Advertising Bureau's Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence, Joe Laszlo plays a key role furthering the center's mission of growing the mobile interactive industry. Joe manages many of the IAB's mobile standardization, best practices, and research projects; advises both buyers and sellers of mobile media; and oversees the IAB's Mobile Committee and Tablet Committee.
Joe served as the IAB's director of research from 2007 through 2010, also managing the IAB's Mobile Committee for much of that time. During his IAB career, Joe has led IAB projects including: writing buyer's guides to mobile and tablet advertising; standardizing mobile rich media advertising; and working with the Mobile Marketing Association and MRC to establish guidelines for counting mobile web and in-app ad impressions.
Prior to the IAB, Joe had an eight-year tenure at Jupiter Research, where he started researching and writing about mobile interactivity in 2000.
Joe holds an MA from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts and a BA from Columbia. He lives in Manhattan.

A Temple man is in Brazos County jail charged with pistol-whipping his ex-girlfriend while in College Station.
Police say it started just after 8 a.m., Sunday, in the 2300 block of Texas Avenue.
Michael Manuel, 29, fled the scene when police arrived. But a tip led police to Manuel's abandoned vehicle in the 1500 block of Pineridge.
Manuel got away but was later captured near the intersection of Holleman and Wellborn Road.
The woman told police Manuel not only pistol whipped her, but threatened to kill her.
Manuel is charged with aggravated assault, evading arrest, and two other felony charges.

Unfair and wrongful Treatment of Barbados Athelete sign now
The Barbados Equestrian Association has issued a Letter of Suspension to Natya Soodeen, the very first rider to represent Barbados internationally in 1995. Soodeen went to the Pan American games in Argentina and funded this trip herself to carry the Barbados flag.
Natya has been showjumping in Germany and other parts of Europe for the past 5 years training to hopefully compete in the 2012 London Olympics.
She was until recently trying to qualify to represent Barbados at the up-coming CAC Games. The BEA kept changing the rules on Natya, and without any explantion sent a notice to all that Soodeen had not qualified. Soodeen and her managers had thought she HAD met all BEA criteria and would qualify.
All of Natya's results submitted to the BEA were received from the official show office of each show (German National Shows) and printed with the German Federation stamp endorsing these results.
On Tuesday 8th 2010, a newspaper writer contacted Nicole Tull, president of the BEA to confirm whether Soodeen was in fact disqualified from representing Barbados in the upcoming CAC Games. Tull did not wish to comment and that night Soodeen was sent a letter suspending Natya from competing for Barbados for the next 6 months due to discrepancies' with her results submitted to the BEA.
Soodeen has never been questioned by the BEA about these discrepancies' at any given time before being suspended. Nor did the BEA tell her what the disrepancies were. The BEA simply charged and convicted their own rider without trial.
Unlike most riders here in Barbados who show as a 'serious hobby', this is Soodeen's FULL TIME JOB. This is all that Natya Soodeen does on a day to day basis and this is her only source of income.
So without any explanation, Soodeen's own national association has stopped her from competing internationally.

Remember Me
Using the history of European immigration to the United States as a uniting theme, Lincoln Has Won takes listeners on a tour of an America still at war with its changing self. The group's songwriters and guitarists, Will Croxton and Brian Mendes, spin yarns of life and death, failure and redemption, in the harsh yet exhilarating times when many of our forefathers first came to these shores.
But academic it ain't! The Habit rock and wail with the same crude eloquence as vintage Crazy Horse ("Blood on the Saddle"), wax as homespun anthemic as the best Pogues ("War is Done"), and prove equally adept at crafting more subdued, contemplative numbers ("Wild Wild West"). Recording was done at N.Y. Hed, the Lower East Side basement studio outfitted with a vast array of mid-20th century tube amps, analog soundboard, and two-inch tape that's come to define The Habit's sound.
Originally country/folk guitarist Mendes, indie/punk rock guitarist Croxton, keyboardist Siobhan Glennon, avant-jazz bassist Drew Goldstone—all four also strong, distinctive lead vocalists—and drummer James Pelletier came together to execute a side project conceived by Croxton and Mendes. The pair was fascinated by John and Alan Lomax's collection of "folk" music: songs that hadn't been recorded and released to a mass public, only performed in person in local communities or regionally at best—tunes that had been written and rewritten, sung and spoke, played, improved, or ruined by countless artists and groups of artists outside of a national audience's awareness. The quintet delivered The Habit EP in 2008, comprised of covers and of original songs written around "found"1800s-era lyrics. By the time they began work on Lincoln Has Won, they'd developed into a full-fledged band incorporating gospel, garage, southern rock, four-part harmonies, and folk, with bassist Eli Thomas taking over from Goldstone.
The Habit's heroes range from the Carter Family and Willie & Waylon to The Sonics and Strummer & Langford. All great storytellers. No coincidence that this has resulted in an album like Lincoln Has Won.

It may seem like yesterday that our nation was on edge, waiting for an announcement of war with Iraq. Now the war is over, Saddam Hussein has been removed from power, and the people of Iraq are struggling to rebuild their war-torn land. A lot has happened in a few short months, and this Special Report will help you and your students put it all in perspective.
The mini-lessons that follow focus on three key areas: In Lesson 1, students will work at understanding the key points (or "main ideas") of the recent current events. In Lesson 2, they will use a crossword puzzle to identify important details in the news, and in Lesson 3, they will get a look at the historical context of the tensions with Iraq.
Lesson 1
What's the Big Idea?
Materials: PDF reproducible: What's the Big Idea?
Curriculum Connections: understanding main ideas and supporting details, current events
Objective: By identifying the main ideas and supporting details in several online news stories about the conflict with Iraq, students will better understand the latest developments and hone reading comprehension skills.
Getting Ready: Set aside time for students to read at least a handful of the online stories in this Special Report. Instruct students to pay special attention to main idea and supporting details as they read. (Students may wish to take notes as they read.) Review the difference between a main idea and detail, and point out that main ideas are often not explicitly stated. Using one story as a model, help students identify the unstated main idea by asking the questions, "What is this story mostly about?" or "What single message does the writer want me to understand?"
What to Do:
- Distribute the reproducible and have students tackle the main idea summaries on their own.
- Divide students into small groups and have them compare the main ideas and supporting details they identified on the worksheet. Ask students to present the main ideas to the class and to tell if the main idea was stated or unstated. If the main idea was stated, students should show where in the story they located the central idea. Also ask students to decide if some details are more relevant to the main idea than others.
Lesson 2
Find the Facts
Materials: PDF reproducible: Find the Facts
Curriculum Connections: understanding details, understanding vocabulary, finding information
Objective: By using this online issue to complete a current-events crossword puzzle about Iraq, students will synthesize and review the information they have learned.
Getting Ready:
- Have students read the online issue about Iraq and become familiar with where to find different kinds of information. (As students work the crossword, they will need to revisit the stories to access specific details.)
What to Do:
- Distribute the reproducible and review how a crossword puzzle works. If you'd like, explain that students can revisit the stories to find the answers.
- For fun, you might want to turn the activity into a scavenger hunt and see who can find the information fastest.
- Review the answers with the class, inviting students to explain where they found each answer. Hone research skills by demonstrating how section headings and headlines provide clues to a section's or story's contents. For example, to find out Iraq's richest resource or national language, students might click on "The Country of Iraq."
[Answers to PDF: ACROSS 1. Water; 3, Baghdad; 6. Constitution; 8. Oil; 9. Ba'ath; 10. Dinar; 12. Holidays; 13. Museum. DOWN 2. Arabic; 4. Muslims; 5. Zoo; 7. Unknown to No One; 11. Bremer.]
Lesson 3
Roots of the Conflict
Materials: PDF reproducible: Roots of the Conflict
Curriculum Connections: reading a time line, history
Objective: Students will explore the history of America's conflict with Iraq using a time line dating back to Saddam Hussein's rise to power.
Getting Ready: Point out to students that the friction between the United States and Iraq did not happen overnight. In fact, trouble has been brewing for well over a decade. Before starting this time line activity, have students brainstorm what they already know about the conflict. Why did the U.S. consider Iraq a threat?
What to Do:
- Distribute the reproducible and read the time line entries together. Have students answer the questions that follow the time line.
- Ask if students remember any of the important events that happened during their lifetimes or if they know anyone who served in the Persian Gulf War or most recent war in Iraq. Discuss.
- To provide context for the historical period covered by the time line, invite students to create new time lines of other events that happened during this period. Events may be related to inventions, sports, government, or even students' own lives. Have students juxtapose the new time line with the one on the reproducible.
[Answers to PDF: 1. Five years; 2. 24 years; 3. 1988; 4. It provided weapons to Iraq; 5. In order to help free Kuwait, the small nation Iraq had just taken over; 6. In that year, Iraq refused to allow weapons inspections; 7. The U.S. wanted to find weapons of mass destruction and remove Saddam Hussein from power.]
