1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to evaluating the performance of data processing systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to the design of high-performance processing chips.
2. Description of Related Art
Timing closure in designing high-performance Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chips in current and next generation process technologies is a complex task. It entails carefully iterating between logic design (through choosing correct power levels for circuits and buffering long wires), physical design (placement and routing), layout extraction (to compute interconnect delays and circuit loadings) and timing analysis (to compute path delays and identify cycle-time limiting paths). Timing analysis actually permeates throughout this iteration.
A crucial step in timing analysis is evaluating the effect of interconnect wiring on path delays, because interconnect effects can comprise as much as 70% of the path delay. Before full layout is available, the interconnect is usually estimated by constructing Steiner routes (which ignore blockages from circuits and other nets) to each segment of the estimated network. After full layout, this same information is obtained from extraction of resistance and capacitance values from interconnect geometries.
The inaccuracy of the Steiner tree networks and the default electrical characteristics leads to expensive design iterations. Typically, after a first full physical design is obtained, the timing analysis with extracted data will report numerous failures (paths violating cycle-time). To correct these failures, a new logic design is performed (i.e. logic repartitioned, buffers added), and timing analysis is performed with the previously extracted interconnect data to account for interconnect effects. However, by the time this logic design is completed, the interconnect data is obsolete. This results from the fact that the logic changes require a new physical design which might change the interconnect significantly. Hence, a new physical design and extraction is required. This leads to serious loss of productivity. The new physical design requires completely legalizing the placement, obtaining a routing with minimum overflows, and a full layout extraction. This activity can take days for a large design.
Therefore, it would be desirable to have a method to achieve chip design closure in a timely manner by reducing the number of costly iterations of full-chip routing, extraction, and timing and noise analysis.
The present invention provides a method for timing and noise analysis in designing data processing chips. The process begins by wiring all unconnected nets in the design and then using a 2˝ D capacitance extraction technique built into a detailed router to extract all of the wired nets. The data from the extracted nets is then processed using a timing and analysis tool. Optimization programs are then used to generate fixes for any nets in the design which contribute to timing and noise failures.
The present invention gives designers the capability of fast and accurate interconnect extraction within the routing tool. In addition, this technique is incremental. Any wiring changes can be quickly re-extracted, since only local information is required for extraction. This incremental capability allows designers to perform quick iterations of wiring, extraction and timing analysis.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further objectives and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 depicts a pictorial representation of a data processing system in which the present invention may be implemented;
FIG. 2 depicts a block diagram of a data processing system in which the present invention may be implemented;
FIG. 3 depicts a schematic diagram illustrating a wire cross-section to which the method of the present invention may be applied; and
FIG. 4 depicts a flowchart illustrating a wiring-extraction-timing/noise analysis process in accordance with the present invention.
With reference now to the figures and in particular with reference to FIG. 1, a pictorial representation of a data processing system in which the present invention may be implemented is depicted in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A computer 100 is depicted which includes a system unit 110, a video display terminal 102, a keyboard 104, storage devices 108, which may include floppy drives and other types of permanent and removable storage media, and mouse 106. Additional input devices may be included with personal computer 100, such as, for example, a joystick, touchpad, touch screen, trackball, microphone, and the like. Computer 100 can be implemented using any suitable computer, such as an IBM RS/6000 computer or IntelliStation computer, which are products of International Business Machines Corporation, located in Armonk, N.Y. Although the depicted representation shows a computer, other embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in other types of data processing systems, such as a network computer. Computer 100 also preferably includes a graphical user interface that may be implemented by means of systems software residing in computer readable media in operation within computer 100.
With reference now to FIG. 2, a block diagram of a data processing system is shown in which the present invention may be implemented. Data processing system 200 is an example of a computer, such as computer 100 in FIG. 1, in which code or instructions implementing the processes of the present invention may be located. Data processing system 200 employs a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) local bus architecture. Although the depicted example employs a PCI bus, other bus architectures such as Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) may be used. Processor 202 and main memory 204 are connected to PCI local bus 206 through PCI bridge 208. PCI bridge 208 also may include an integrated memory controller and cache memory for processor 202. Additional connections to PCI local bus 206 may be made through direct component interconnection or through add-in boards. In the depicted example, local area network (LAN) adapter 210, small computer system interface SCSI host bus adapter 212, and expansion bus interface 214 are connected to PCI local bus 206 by direct component connection. In contrast, audio adapter 216, graphics adapter 218, and audio/video adapter 219 are connected to PCI local bus 206 by add-in boards inserted into expansion slots. Expansion bus interface 214 provides a connection for a keyboard and mouse adapter 220, modem 222, and additional memory 224. SCSI host bus adapter 212 provides a connection for hard disk drive 226, tape drive 228, and CD-ROM drive 230. Typical PCI local bus implementations will support three or four PCI expansion slots or add-in connectors.
An operating system runs on processor 202 and is used to coordinate and provide control of various components within data processing system 200 in FIG. 2. The operating system may be a commercially available operating system such as Windows 2000, which is available from Microsoft Corporation. An object oriented programming system such as Java may run in conjunction with the operating system and provides calls to the operating system from Java programs or applications executing on data processing system 200. "Java" is a trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc. Instructions for the operating system, the object-oriented programming system, and applications or programs are located on storage devices, such as hard disk drive 226, and may be loaded into main memory 204 for execution by processor 202.
Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the hardware in FIG. 2 may vary depending on the implementation. Other internal hardware or peripheral devices, such as flash ROM (or equivalent nonvolatile memory) or optical disk drives-and the like, may be used in addition to or in place of the hardware depicted in FIG. 2. Also, the processes of the present invention may be applied to a multiprocessor data processing system.
For example, data processing system 200, if optionally configured as a network computer, may not include SCSI host bus adapter 212, hard disk drive 226, tape drive 228, and CD-ROM 230, as noted by dotted line 232 in FIG. 2 denoting optional inclusion. In that case, the computer, to be properly called a client computer, must include some type of network communication interface, such as LAN adapter 210, modem 222, or the like. As another example, data processing system 200 may be a stand-alone system configured to be bootable without relying on some type of network communication interface, whether or not data processing system 200 comprises some type of network communication interface. As a further example, data processing system 200 may be a personal digital assistant (PDA), which is configured with ROM and/or flash ROM to provide non-volatile memory for storing operating system files and/or user-generated data.
The depicted example in FIG. 2 and above-described examples are not meant to imply architectural limitations. For example, data processing system 200 also may be a notebook computer or hand held computer in addition to taking the form of a PDA. Data processing system 200 also may be a kiosk or a Web appliance.
The processes of the present invention are performed by processor 202 using computer implemented instructions, which may be located in a memory such as, for example, main memory 204, memory 224, or in one or more peripheral devices 226-230.
Timing closure in designing high-performance Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chips in current and next generation process technologies is a complex task. It entails carefully iterating between logic design (through choosing correct power levels for circuits and buffering long wires), physical design (placement and routing), layout extraction (to compute interconnect delays and circuit loadings) and timing analysis (to compute path delays and identify cycle-time limiting paths).
The present invention provides a method for eliminating the need for expensive design iterations by employing flat wiring of the entire chip and an accurate 2˝ D capacitance extraction technique based on detailed wiring. This technique allows quick extraction of self and coupling capacitances for any net in the design. By feeding this extracted data to the timing analysis tool, fast timing feedback can be achieved. This allows the designer to perform various wire optimizations, embed the wire, extract it and analyze its effect on timing. Similarly, the accurate coupling extraction allows the designer to perform detailed noise analysis on any net in the design, and evaluate the effect of various noise avoidance techniques directly in routing. This closed loop interaction of routing, interconnect extraction and timing/noise analysis helps to drastically reduce the number of iterations of full-chip routing, extraction, and timing and noise analysis, and achieve design closure in a timely manner.
Completely accurate capacitance calculation requires a 3D finite-element or finite-difference calculation: All conductors within a certain volume around the conductor (wire or via) of interest must be considered. Each net is composed of wires and vias. VLSI interconnections run on several layers, and a given net may traverse multiple layers. Wires are the metal interconnection on a single layer, while vias are interconnections between wires on different metal layers.
2D capacitance calculation, as the name implies, assumes that all of the conductors are infinite in one direction, and the interactions are limited to a 2D rectangular region. When wiring is performed in a preferred direction for each plane, and adjacent planes run in orthogonal directions, 2D capacitance calculation for a wire is applied to a plane perpendicular to the preferred direction of the wire. To simplify matters further, the wire is assumed to be bounded by perfect metal planes on the two adjacent layers, and only the nearest neighbors of the wire to the left and right may be considered for capacitance calculation.
The main limitation of the 2D method is the assumption that the wiring planes above and below are solid. In fact, they consist of unevenly spaced orthogonal wires. A better model is to adjust the calculated 2D capacitances, by comparing them to 3D capacitances with the planes above and below replaced by regularly spaced wires of varying periodicity. Then, a simple adjustment can be made to the 2D capacitances by computing an average spacing (by dividing the number of orthogonal wires in an area by the area's width) and shifting the 2D capacitances to match the 3D capacitances when wire above and below have the same periodicity as the average spacing. This is termed 2˝D capacitance calculation. It has the advantage that very simple table lookups (for the 2D capacitances) and adjustment coefficients (to convert 2D to 3D capacitances) can be used, along with simple geometry processing (to compute lateral spacings to adjacent wires for 2D table lookup, and average spacing calculation for the wire above and below) to compute the self and coupling capacitances for a wire segment quite accurately.
Of course, the 2˝D method works best for long wires, where the wiring is done in a preferred direction on each plane, and the preferred direction alternates between adjacent planes (which is exactly how the present routing program works). Long wires are the ones that are important for global timing and noise optimization, so this method delivers extraction accuracy where required, with the calculation speed necessary for timing and noise optimization.
Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic diagram illustrates a wire cross-section to which the method of the present invention may be applied. FIG. 3 shows the cross-section of a wire on layer Mo, with two neighbors, above on layer Ma and below on layer Mb. This is a typical 2D capacitance calculation scenario. The capacitance values Cl, Cppa, Cppb, Cfa, and Cfb are tabulated by varying dL and different combinations of Mo, Ma, Mb (or t, hA and hB). These capacitance values are then adjusted for average wire density on Ma and Mb to arrive at the 2˝D capacitance. The sum of all five capacitances is typically called the self-capacitance of the wire. Cl is termed the coupling capacitance to the adjacent wire.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a flowchart illustrating a wiring-extraction-timing/noise analysis process is depicted in accordance with the present invention. After the process is initiated, any unconnected nets in the design are wired (step 401). In the first pass, this would be all the nets in the design.
The main feature of the present invention is a 2˝ D coupling capacitance extraction capability built into the detailed router. The data structure of the detailed router (line intervals in the preferred wiring direction on each layer) allows a designer to quickly query the neighbors of any wire, and evaluate the lateral spacing to the neighboring wires. A 2D table lookup (with the lateral spacing information, and the height of the wiring layers above and below) gives the lateral (coupling) and total capacitance of a wire segment. This capacitance can be corrected for the coverage (wire density) on the layers above and below, to obtain an accurate 2˝ D capacitance of the wire. This 2˝ D extraction technique is used to extract all the nets wired (or rewired) in the current iteration (step 402). The router may have to rip-up and reconnect some existing wires in order to finish the unconnected nets.
The capacitances (coupling capacitance to the neighbor, ground capacitance to the layer above and below) for all the unique couplings of a wire segment are combined with the wire resistance to produce a pi or T model for the wire segment. Pi and T models are electrical equivalent models for a wire segment. A pi model represents the wire as a capacitor-resistor-capacitor triple, where the capacitor may be to ground or another wire. A T model represents the wire as a resistor-capacitor-resistor triple. If the wire segment is too long, it may be broken down into several pi or T models. The segment model is combined with the pi or T models for all other wire segments and vias for a net, to produce a complete interconnect resistance/capacitance (RC) model for a net. This RC model can be used for very accurate timing analysis.
In addition, an ID on the adjacent shape can be stored for each coupling capacitance, which later helps in creating a fully coupled interconnect model for detailed noise analysis of a net and its neighbors. The process of extracting nets is sequential. If a coupling is calculated between a wire and one of it's neighbors, the neighbor may not have its equivalent RC model extracted yet. Somehow, the RC model for both nets needs to have a coupling capacitance established between them. This is done by adding another identifier to each wire, which is carried into the RC network (called a shape ID). Each node in the RC network will have an associated shape ID. Several nodes may have the same shape ID, but each wire has a unique shape ID. During extraction, any coupling capacitance established from a target wire to any other wire will be represented as a capacitance from a node in the target wire's RC network, to a shape ID (corresponding to the wire that the coupling is to) in the adjacent net. After all the nets are extracted, these shape ID's are used to resolve the coupling capacitors to the proper nodes in the adjacent net's RC network.
Timing and noise analysis is then performed on the newly extracted nets (step 403). For any wire segment, an interval data structure is used to break the wire segment into unique coupling elements, where the immediate lateral neighbors on either side of the wire are at the same spacing along the length of the unique coupling element. An interval data structure contains a list of one-dimensional non-overlapping line segments of the form (low, high) over a certain range (LOW, HIGH). This data structure supports fast additions: If a new line segment is added to the list, the list is resolved quickly to include this new line segment, while maintaining all the segments as non-overlapping. When a line segment is added, this operation also returns the length of this new segment which did not overlap any segment previously resident in the interval data structure. Such a data structure is very useful for computing lateral couplings of a target wire. The adjacent channels to the target wire are queried (starting from the closest one) for wires or blockages that overlap the given wire segment. The interval data structure can then quickly resolve what length of such wires/blockages are "visible" from the target wire. In this way, the unique lateral couplings of the target wire can be quickly established.
Fixes are generated for any problem nets (step 404). This is done through optimization programs. The present invention supports several different wire optimizations. One optimization is choosing the correct wire width which is used to reduce the wire delay for critical wires, at the expense of extra wiring resources. Another optimization is wire spacing to reduce coupling capacitance, which in turn reduces coupling noise, again at the expense of wiring resources. Yet a further optimization is net weight. Since wiring is a sequential task, net weights help prioritize critical wires to be routed first, so that they have fewer blockages to avoid from previously routed nets and thus may find their shortest routes. In certain cases, the problems may not be fixable by wiring changes. In such cases, a buffer may need to be added, or the driver size may need to be changed. These are termed netlist changes. In general, such changes cause the router model to be reconfigured. In some simple cases, however, the router model can simply be updated to accommodate the netlist changes.
The existing wiring for the problem nets is then removed from the wiring database (step 405). If there are no remaining timing and noise problems, the process ends. If any timing and noise problems remain, steps 401-405 are repeated until the problems are resolved.
The present technique gives designers the capability of fast and accurate interconnect extraction within the routing tool. In addition, this technique is incremental. Any wiring changes can be quickly re-extracted, since only local information is required for extraction. This incremental capability allows designers to perform quick iterations of wiring, extraction and timing analysis. The wiring tool is incremental in the sense that if a partially wired design is loaded into the wiring tool, it can be instructed to finish the wiring for the unconnected nets. In the absence of accurate extraction built into the routing tool, the designer is forced to externalize the data from the router, and instruct the extraction tool as to which nets have changed in the wiring. Such information is hard to obtain (since the router may rip up several nets which the designer did not intend to change) and even harder to use for incremental extraction.
It is important to note that while the present invention has been described in the context of a fully functioning data processing system, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the processes of the present invention are capable of being distributed in the form of a computer readable medium of instructions and a variety of forms and that the present invention applies equally regardless of the particular type of signal bearing media actually used to carry out the distribution. Examples of computer readable media include recordable-type media, such as a floppy disk, a hard disk drive, a RAM, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and transmission-type media, such as digital and analog communications links, wired or wireless communications links using transmission forms, such as, for example, radio frequency and light wave transmissions. The computer readable media may take the form of coded formats that are decoded for actual use in a particular data processing system.
The description of the present invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description, and is not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the invention in the form disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention, the practical application, and to enable others of ordinary skill in the art to understand the invention for various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2012 officially closed its curtain after Sean Langman-skippered Maluka of Kermandie crossed the finish line at 9.40.12pm, ending up last on line in the 628-nautical mile ocean race for the second consecutive year.
Sean Langman's 80 year-old gaff rigged Maluka of Kermandie arrived last on line in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, but she arrived well in time to see the New Year in, as many revellers clapped her into Kings Pier last evening.
Langman, who once again sailed the smallest (9.1m) boat in the fleet, took a 'double' of sorts, as he was last on line in the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia's 2011 race also. This year he finished at 9.40.12pm, outside of last year's finish time of 04.48.22pm. The crew were just pleased to be out of the cold and in time to celebrate New Year and enjoyed the crowd of friends and fans who were at the dock to meet them.
Joining him aboard again were his daughter, Nicki and 19 year-old son Pete, who skippered the yacht to Hobart last year, but played a role as crew to his dad this year. Also aboard the yacht were husband and wife team, Shaun and Erin McKnight, parents of two young children who have raced on the yacht previously.
Four yachts remained at sea yesterday, with John Bankart's Eressea from Mooloolaba making painfully slow progress up the Derwent towards the finish line, before finally crossing just after 5.00pm. She beat her Queensland competition, Charlie's Dream, a Bluewater 450 cruiser owned by Peter Lewis, by just over one hour.
This was a third Hobart for Lewis and his crew, and their third finish, albeit a slow one, as the yacht circled slowly before crossing the Castray Esplanade finish line.
Beating Maluka of Kermandie to the punch by nearly 12 minutes was CIC Technology Inca. Owner, Noel Sneddon, said they had ruined most sails in their wardrobe, which slowed them down considerably. They crossed the finish at 9.28.49pm.

South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
12 Jun 2014 05:01 GMT | Politics, Africa, Chad, Mali
A suicide attack at a UN camp in northern Mali killed four Chadian peacekeepers and wounded 10 others including six peacekeepers and four Malian soldiers, the country's peacekeeping mission said.
A vehicle exploded at the entrance of the camp in the town of Aguelhoc, in the Kidal region, at 3:30 pm, according to a UN statement issued on Wednesday evening.
UN mission chief Albert Koenders condemned the attack as "cowardly and odious."
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attacked "in the strongest terms" and extended condolences to the families of the victims, his spokesman said in a statement.
"This attack will not diminish the resolve of the United Nations to support the Malian people in their efforts to achieve peace and stability for all of Mali," the spokesman said.
Live Box 2014522101623679653
Northern Mali fell under control of ethnic Tuareg rebels and then al-Qaeda-linked rebel groups following a military coup in 2012.
A French-led intervention last year scattered the rebel fighters, though the Tuaregs maintain a heavy presence in Kidal and have pushed back against the authority of the Bamako-based government.
Tensions escalated sharply last month when Prime Minister Moussa Mara visited Kidal for the first time since his appointment. In response, Tuareg rebels launched an assault on government buildings in the town, killing eight soldiers, six local government officials and two others in what the government described as a "declaration of war."
It was unclear who carried out Wednesday's attack, which came just one day after three northern Mali rebel groups signed an accord in Algiers pledging to work for peace in the region through inclusive talks.

Separatists agree to ceasefire following deadly clashes in the town of Kidal that left about 20 soldiers dead.
President makes plea after Tuareg fighters say three armed groups now control Kidal after clashes kill several soldiers.

Vincent Beffa 18253340
I noticed you are also interested in the Beffa family. My great-great aunt Hattie Flunker was briefly married to Vincent Beffa. She was his second wife (out of 3) and it was a short marriage.
The story told to me by my mother was that Hattie cheated on him and then they either divorced or annulled. She also said they had a daughter named Patty and that because Hattie cheated, she lost custody.
Do you have any knowledge of this daughter? I've not found a single record to support a birth. I have a photo that might be her. My mother remembers her mother showing her a photo of a child on a pony and saying it was Hattie's daughter Patty. After my grandmother's death, I received some of her old photos. One is a photo of a child on a pony but now my mom cannot remember if it is the correct photo.
I've also not located any more records on Hattie besides the marriage license for her and Vincent. I've found his death certificate.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

William Grassmann
The links you sent for William's parents have been added. I also gave the owner of his parents' memorials some additional information about them and asked her to link them to their parents, which she did.
You mentioned that you don't know how to add links from children to parents. It's very easy.
The owner of the child's memorial must:
1. Click on the place where it says Link family members.
2. A form will appear with boxes where you enter the Find A Grave memorial number for the father, mother and/or spouse.
3. Then click on Save changes.
Only the owner of the child's memorial can link him/her to the parents.
If you want to link spouses, you follow the same steps as above. Either the owner of the wife or the husband can link spouses.
Thanks again for letting me know who William's parents were.

"I was very anxious about having my car shipped as I had not done this before. I was super pleased with the quality, price, communication and timing that Montway Auto provided.
My car arrived in great condition, and just when they said it would. The driver was in contact with me the entire time.
Car was delivered in PERFECT condition!!
"After 10 days -- I received the car in Arizona from Florida in perfect condition"
"Very much satisfied with the service provided by Montway. My car was delivered in just 2 days. The driver who picked up the car was so polite and good. The items kept in trunk were intact. Great!"
"The first time I have shipped a vehicle,this one was 700+ miles away it was picked up thursday and reached me the very next day,mid-afternoon. SUPER!!!"
To and Fro
"I desperately needed to arrange transportation for a Mobility van that I purchased in one state to be delivered to me at my home as soon as possible and I used Montway for the first time and the experience was very easy! the customer service reps were very pleasant they kept in constant contact with me I felt very comfortable with this company and the transporter that they secured for my vehicle. My vehicle arrived within a matter of days after I connected with Montway in perfect condition for a very fair price. they made purchasing a vehicle out of state a smooth transaction and pain free experience I would recommend Montway to anybody who needs to have a car transported!"
Leaving Cali and Off 2 Tex
"Montway was amazing. I accepted their bid first thing in the morning and they actually had my vehicle booked and picked up the same day. My driver was so responsive and polite. He told me to call anytime. I already have a friend asking me for their number to ship a car to her daughter. I would recommend Montway every time! You won't be disappointed! "
Pulled through with a win!
"Used montway to ship my car during corporate relocation. They had a low price and good reviews. Was a little worried when I received an email the evening before I believed my car was due to be picked up saying they were still working on finding a truck to transport my vehicle. I called and got through to a person who said its often confirmed last minute when your car will be picked up, but they'd get it done.
Montway connected me with Mike from cargo management group inc. The shippers were very nice and courteous and got my car to the destination in record time, in good condition despite a sand storm. Very satisfied with the results despite the initial heart attack of thinking I wouldn't have a truck on time for the move."
Very professional!
"I had the best experience from start to finish , very professional service. I would recommend this company to anyone. "
Stop the Search
"If you are reading this review chances are that you are completely confused by now about how to transport a vehicle. I searched for weeks trying to select the best transporter company which can be a very frustrated task. After weeks, I selected Montway Auto Transport because they have so many positive reviews, Im sure that from time to time things dont work as planned but in my case it was a success story.
I booked my Enclosed truck via UShip, unfortunately I had to run the request 3 times due to delays related to the bank, the first time I ran the bid, Montway Auto Transport provided me with the most competitive offer for an enclosed trailer. by the 3er time posting the bid, I called them and asked for a new quote, the quote was $300.00 dollars more than the original offer received by then, even after trying to explain to the person on the other line, the price was still higher.
I decide to try to ask them via the uship private messaging and within seconds I got a replay that the original quote was still valid, I was impressed that they stood by the original quote so that alone gave me confidence to hire them.
After booking the enclosed transporter to bring the www.turbowax.com VW GTI from Texas to Florida, I received a call to finalize the booking, I also had to pay the agreed fixed amount at front, which to me was fine.
Everything went dark for about 3 days, then I received the call that the transported was all set up, the transporter driver called me and the turbo wax VW GTI was delivered one day ahead of schedule.
I think I really got lucky because the driver was a phenomenal guy, he offloaded the car like it was his car, he also had a lot of photos indicating some of the things that he found prior to loading the car.
The car was very dirty but the driver explained to me about the real bad flooding that they had in Texas, so I was find with that since mother nature don't ask permission to anyone.
In all I highly recommend this company for your car transporting needs. Now is time to give her a bath and make her shine with turbo wax products.
Happy motoring :) Thanks Guys!"
"What a fantastic service. From the first call to the moment our 1930 Ford Model A Fordor came off the truck everything was smooth, even the weather! Thank you very much"
Heavily modified car with no problem
"My car means the world to me, I've spent countless hours working on it and more money then I like to dwell on lol, this was my first time transporting any car, all the was across the country. The driver took as much time as needed to get the ramps to where I felt comfortable the car would not scrap. He worked with me on the strapping down of the car to make sure I felt good about it. Car made it with out a problem. Very happy with the results . "
Big hurry for the red beauty
"Customer was very excited to get their 1970 Chevy Impala convertible. Pick up was done quickly and customer got the car well before expected. Great job and thank you."
I'll whore myself out for free food!
"I spent a month trying to find an enclosed transport carrier for my Jeep. Montway had pursued me when I thought I had a deal on a previous Jeep so I knew they were interested in getting my business so finally at the end of the month I gave up and contacted them. They took all the information down and got a carrier located in the same state as the vehicle. All went pretty smoothly from there."
Very professional, did a great job, would use again
"I recently had an exotic vehicle shipped from NY to SD via enclosed transport. The car arrived 3 days ahead of time, and the driver that was hired was nice and courteous, and did a terrific job of taking care of the vehicle. No issues, would definitely use again."
Super Transport
"My experience with Montway went very well. No problems or issues with communication. I could either talk with a dispatcher at Montway where he would locate the driver and update me or I could also contact the driver. They picked up my car just under the five day maximum on a Tuesday in Maryland and delivered it to California by Sunday. Only issue was that the car was dirty, but that was to be expected. The driver was very easy to work with. I can see why Montway gets a high rating. I would most definitely recommend using them for your car transport needs."

Profile: PSG's Di María out to banish Manchester ghosts
Handed United's fabled number seven shirt after a club-record £59.7 million ($84.3 million, 74 million euros) transfer from Real Madrid, Di María could scarcely have arrived at Old Trafford amid greater fanfare. But despite a promising start, including a delicious lob at Leicester City, Manchester would not prove a happy home for the man nicknamed 'Fideo' (Noodle) on account of his skinny frame. Van Gaal continually changed his role, even fielding him as a lone striker at one stage, and a succession of injuries prevented him from finding any rhythm. The nadir arrived in late January last year when a group of burglars armed with scaffolding poles attempted to smash their way into Di María's luxurious home while he, his wife and one-year-old daughter cowered inside.
I've written something on Ángel di María's trip to the Etihad Stadium with Paris Saint-Germain, which gives him an opportunity to add a footnote to the chapter marked 'Manchester'. You can read it here.
Review: Premier League titans roar in boardroom, squeak on pitch
Untold riches will rain down upon the English Premier League in 2016, but for all their resources, the country's leading clubs currently seem incapable of staking claims to the title. The record £5.14 billion ($7.72 billion, 7.06 billion euros) television rights deal due to kick in next year will reinforce the English top flight's status as European football's financial behemoth. But champions Chelsea have imploded, Arsenal and Manchester City remain hit-and-miss and while Liverpool find their feet under Jürgen Klopp, Manchester United appear to be stagnating under Louis van Gaal. It has fallen to Leicester City to make the early running in what former United captain Gary Neville has described as "the most bizarre league that I have seen in a long time".
My review of the year 2015 in English football can be read here.

A recent BBC documentary about Rooney has helped to soften attitudes towards him in Britain. Renowned for his aggressive on-pitch demeanour, all angry scowls and expletive-strewn outbursts, the Rooney in the film came across as a shy and softly spoken family man. Viewers saw him chatting with former neighbours on the housing estate in the tough Croxteth district of Liverpool where he grew up and were treated to the surprising admission that the young footballer wooed his future wife Coleen with poetry. According to former England striker Gary Lineker, whose production company made the film, the public reaction on social media was "overwhelmingly positive".
Another day, another Wayne Rooney profile… This one's to mark his impending 30th birthday. You can find it here.
Analysis: Waning Rooney on brink of England history
Obliged to lead the line alone in manager Louis van Gaal's single-striker system, he has looked isolated and off the pace, his touch betraying him, his famous explosiveness diminished. It has brought to mind the words uttered last year by Paul Scholes, Rooney's former United team-mate, who said that Rooney's premature emergence as a teenager means he may have reached his peak some years ago. Rooney himself has dismissed suggestions that he is past his best and has pointed with justification to a historical record that shows his fallow periods are frequently followed by flurries of goals. And yet there is no escaping the fact that he is no longer the game-changing force of nature, the rampaging bull, that burst onto the scene with Everton at the age of 16, earning him the nickname 'the White Pelé'.
A piece on Wayne Rooney, and the gulf between the player he threatened to become and the player he actually is.
Analysis: Marked man Martial must find place at Man United
Thierry Henry, with whom Martial is often compared, was similarly raw when he left Monaco for Juventus in 1999, but he was two years older, had twice as many games behind him and had already won a World Cup. Henry himself has described the deal as a "massive gamble". Like Henry, Martial is a striker who started his senior career as a winger and he is similarly drawn to the left flank, from where he can cut inside onto his right foot and shoot at goal. The fact he has been handed the number nine shirt, coupled with Rooney's early-season struggles as United's lone striker, suggests he will be given a chance to play through the middle.

Analysis: English clubs impose Martial law in Europe
While big-money arrivals at United, City and Chelsea have long been the norm, it is the sight of Yohan Cabaye in Crystal Palace's colours or Xherdan Shaqiri lining up for Stoke City that hammer home England's financial might. The structure of the Premier League's TV deals means that money is shared evenly across the division and English clubs are also reaping the rewards of slick commercial operations. United's new kit deal with German sportswear firm Adidas is worth £750 million, on top of several commercial contracts including a £330 million sponsorship agreement with American car giant Chevrolet. "We've seen in recent years tremendous commercial growth from the largest clubs and that's helping fuel some of this transfer spending," Alex Thorpe from Deloitte's Sports Business Group told AFP.
A piece on how English clubs have come to distort the European transfer market can be found here.
Analysis: Uneven Man United look for winning balance
United, who finished fourth last season, deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation in pre-season, but Van Gaal has pledged to revert to the 4-3-3 system that belatedly brought the team success in the latter part of the 2014-15 campaign. It means that Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini (who is suspended for the first three league games) will be competing for only three starting berths. With the exciting Memphis Depay, a £25 million acquisition from PSV Eindhoven, expected to start on one flank, Ashley Young, Juan Mata, Antonio Valencia and Adnan Januzaj — and potentially reported target Pedro Rodríguez — must vie for a place on the other side of the pitch.
I've written something for AFP on how Manchester United are shaping up ahead of the new Premier League season. You can read it here.

Analysis: Echoes of Moyes as Van Gaal grasps at straws
"For Manchester United's fans, manager Louis van Gaal's attempts to explain their team's shortcomings may be beginning to carry faint echoes of the reign of his doomed predecessor, David Moyes. United's regression under Moyes was spectacular, but it was his continued insistence that progress was being made — despite stark evidence to the contrary — that particularly irked supporters. Fans could just about countenance the team slipping back after the departure of Alex Ferguson, but hearing Moyes claim that his side should aspire to play like Manchester City or that Liverpool were travelling to Old Trafford as "favourites" was impossible to stomach. With United still on course for Champions League qualification, Van Gaal's stock has fallen no way near as low as Moyes's did, but the excuses he gave after Monday's FA Cup elimination by Arsenal raised more than a few eyebrows."
I wrote a piece for AFP on Manchester United's FA Cup elimination and Louis van Gaal's inability to explain away their failings, and you can read it here.
Review: New money rises in England as old powers slip
"Manchester City and Chelsea, England's nouveaux riches, appear poised to dominate the Premier League in 2015, with traditional powerhouses Manchester United and Liverpool working their way through periods of transition. United began this year as champions and Liverpool came agonisingly close to succeeding them, but it was City who prevailed in the 2013-14 title race and it is Chelsea who approach the New Year in pole position."

Analysis: Falcao, Di María herald Man United's age of excess
"United's absence from European competition for the first time since 1989 has not prevented them from acquiring elite players, but the new signings do not appear to have been the fruit of meticulous forward planning. Whereas many observers have pinpointed central defence and central midfield as United's weak points, they finished the transfer window having signed one central midfielder, a winger, a striker, and three players who played at left-back at the World Cup. As former England striker Gary Lineker joked on Twitter: "If you can't defend, just out score 'em!" Two of those left-backs can play in other positions — Rojo at centre-back, Blind as a holding midfielder — but like Di María and Falcao, their hastily finalised transfers, ratified late in the window, suggested an element of panic."

*Some are still wondering if this whole Kanye Kim thing is a publicity stunt.
If it is, they're taking it to a whole new level. Both the rapper and reality star have put their individual homes up for sale.
Kim's is selling her $4.8 million California home, while Kanye is ready to put his LA on the market as well. Sources say the two are planning to rent a house together instead.
But get this. Kim's still married. And the new couple has been dating for only two months. Love is swift.
"They are preparing to move in together, it's moving that quick," an insider told Life & Style. "… if things continue at the speed they're going, Kim and Kanye will rent a new house together. They wouldn't buy yet."
The source also disclosed that Kim is already putting her possessions into storage so the two can create a home with one another.
Oh and it does not look like a rumor. The move in chit chat was definitely caught on camera and fits right in with the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

New interventional radiology could treat men's enlarged prostateMar 26, 4:51 pm
Washington, March 26 (ANI): A new interventional radiology treatment, prostatic artery embolization may help men who suffered with acute urinary retention due to an enlarged prostate, say researchers who pioneered its use."Having an enlarged prostate is very common in many men over the age of 50, and these new findings provide hope for those who might not be candidates for transurethral resection of the prostate or TURP and may allow them to avoid serious complications that sometime result from surgery, such as impotence, retrograde ejaculation and urinary incontinence. This could mean that more men have a chance at getting their lives back," said Francisco Cesar Carnevale, M.D. Ph.D., professor and chief of the interventional radiology section at the Hospital das Clinicas Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil.A man's prostate can slowly grow larger with age due to a noncancerous process called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. In many men this enlargement can compress the urethra and cause urination and bladder problems such as dribbling at the end of urinating, an inability to urinate, incomplete emptying of the bladder, incontinence, and having a strong and sudden urge to urinate or a weak urine stream. For these men, symptoms can cause a marked decrease in quality of life, said Carnevale."More than a quarter of a million men undergo surgery for an enlarged prostate every year, at an estimated annual costs of over 1 billion dollars per year because current therapies including medication just aren't working for them," commented Ziv J Haskal, M.D., FSIR, one of numerous Society of Interventional Radiology members who travelled to Brazil to learn about the treatment and to begin the process that may bring this treatment to the United States. "I saw firsthand how these men responded to treatment. With the possibility of faster recovery-on an outpatient basis-and with no bladder catheters, reduced symptoms, improved urination and fewer potential side effects, prostatic artery embolization could signal a bold new change in accepted prostate therapy," added Haskal, a professor of radiology and surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.Carnevale explained "Interventional radiologists have always pioneered the use of minimally invasive treatments for many disease states. Interventional radiologists have used embolization, where a catheter is used to deliver tiny beads to block blood flow to a target area, for many years to treat uterine fibroids, on an outpatient basis, with very few complications. Applying this same principal to the prostate by embolizing or blocking the prostatic arteries, thereby reducing its size and releasing the pressure on the urethra so that a man is then able to void normally, seemed like a natural progression.""This study looked at results from men who suffered with acute urinary retention due to an enlarged prostate and who were treated," noted Carnevale, who indicated that prior to embolization, all had medical treatment and urethral catheters and were waiting for surgery. "After the treatment, we assessed quality of life and evaluated how well the urinary system was working. Clinical success was seen in 91 percent of those treated and technical success was evident in 75 percent of those treated," he added.Using a tiny one-millimeter diameter microcatheter threaded into the prostate arteries, 12 prostatic artery embolization procedures using resin microspheres as embolizing agents were performed on 11 individuals (ages 59-78 years; average age, 68.5 years) under local anesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound were also used to study the exact anatomy of the prostate.Carnevale's subjects had follow-up ranging from 16-45 months. At the time of treatment, the men's prostate size ranged from 30-90 grams (the normal male prostate weighs 20-25 grams); all reported acute urinary retention . Both ultrasound and MRI revealed an overall 30 percent volume reduction in the prostate size at final follow-up. Overall clinical improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms at the one-year mark was observed and corroborated by all patients. All of those treated also reported a high degree of satisfaction and increased quality of life after the treatment."Although these preliminary results are very promising for American men, it must be noted that prostate artery embolization is an extremely advanced embolization procedure requiring rigorous training and a detailed knowledge of the prostate anatomy and surrounding vessels," said James B. Spies, M.D., MPH, FSIR, professor and chair of the radiology department at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C."Because interventional radiologists are the leaders in bringing forth new treatments responsibly, I expect there will be considerable additional study, including multicenter clinical trials, that explore the safety, efficacy and durability of this procedure before it will become broadly available in clinical practice. At that stage, the specialty will take the lead on ensuring that practice guidelines are established to ensure appropriate patient care," he added.The findings were presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 37th Annual Scientific Meeting in San Francisco, Calif. (ANI)

A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
12 Aug 2012 13:56 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Israel
A defence attorney says Israel's military prosecutor has dropped a manslaughter charge against a soldier suspected of killing a Palestinian mother and her daughter during Israel's assault on Gaza in the winter of 2008-2009.
Oded Savoray, the attorney, said on Sunday that as part of a plea deal, his client was convicted of shooting without permission and will serve 45 days in prison.
The infantry sergeant had been the only soldier facing such a charge arising from an offensive that killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, the majority of whom were civilians, and 13 Israelis.
The two women, Ria Abu Hajaj, 64, and her daughter, Majda, 37, were killed on January 4, 2009 and mentioned in the report of a United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict.
The report found that the two women were carrying a white flag while fleeing an area near their Gaza City home when they were fired upon by Israeli soldiers from a distance of around 100 metres.
Human rights groups have called for independent investigations of what they said were dozens of suspected unlawful killings during the attacks. Israel's military instead launched its own investigation of some deaths.

pi * 9^2 ?
Why pi? I don't see any circles in that diagram. What shapes are there?
oh .. well .. 9*4*4 ?
I don't understand yet ;) It looks like you multiplied 9 * 4. Is that the area of a side of the shape?
i really don't understand this one . i have no idea what i have to do . ):
What shape do you see on the sides of that pyramid?
triangles .
Area of a triangle: = 1/2 * base * height You had the right idea of multiplying by four, though... there are four sides.
So, for the four triangle sides, your area of each side will be 1/2 * 4 * 9 1/2 * 4 * 9 = 18 And there are 4 of those triangle sides, so 4 * 18 = 72 But you still need to add the area of the square base.
where do i go from there then ?
what is the area of the bottom? The shape of the bottom is a square with sides 4...

Background Crohn's disease (CD) of the pouch can develop in patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). Scant data are available on the treatment of this disease entity.
Aim To evaluate efficacy and safety of adalimumab in treating CD of the ileal pouch.
Methods From June 2007 to June 2008, 17 IPAA patients with inflammatory (n = 10), fibrostenotic (n = 2) or fistulizing (n = 5) CD of the pouch treated with adalimumab were evaluated. Inclusion criteria were CD of the pouch who failed medical therapy and were otherwise qualified for permanent pouch diversion or excision. All qualified patients received the standard dosing regimen of subcutaneous injection adalimumab (160 mg at week 0, 80 mg at week 1, and 40 mg every other week thereafter). Complete clinical response was defined as resolution of symptoms. Partial clinical response was defined as improvement in symptoms. Endoscopic inflammation before and after therapy was recorded, using the Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI) endoscopy subscores.
Results The median age was 36 years with 12 patients (70.6%) being male. At 4 weeks, seven patients (41.2%) had a complete symptom response and 6 (35.3%) had a partial response. There was also a significant improvement in the PDAI endoscopy subscores at week 4 (P < 0.05). At the last follow-up (median of 8 weeks), eight patients (47.1%) had a complete symptom response and 4 (23.5%) had a partial response. Four patients (23.6%) developed adverse effects. Three patients (17.7%) eventually had pouch failure after failing to respond to adalimumab therapy.
Conclusion Adalimumab appeared to be well-tolerated and efficacious in treating CD of the pouch in this open-labelled induction study.
