Golf needs a lesson in race relations... from football (And maybe the royal and ancient game can explain again why women cannot become members at Muirfield)
When Luis Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra, he was fined £40,000 and banned for eight matches. When an FA commission found that John Terry had racially insulted Anton Ferdinand, he was given a £220,000 fine and a four-match ban. Just a few days ago, UEFA announced a minimum 10-match ban for racial abuse in any of their competitions.
Football gets many things hopelessly wrong but, when it comes to the matter of race, its heart and mind tend to be in the right place. Given the multi-racial composition of its teams and the ethnic origins of so many of its outstanding players, how could it be otherwise? Naturally, it encounters the occasional problem but overall there is a sympathetic awareness, an intelligent sensitivity that certain other sports do not possess.
Which leads us to the sport of golf. Now, golf regards football with a superior smile. It is seen as a sport contested by cheats, followed by oiks and run by rascals. It has no standards worth mentioning, no traditions worth preserving. The notion that football has anything to teach the royal and ancient game seems clearly absurd. Until we consider the events of the past week.
Spat: Sergio Garcia was at the centre of a race storm after his 'fried chicken' jibe towards Tiger Woods
Sorry: Garcia was forced to apologise for his remarks at the PGA Championship in Wentworth

PG Wodehouse once observed that if we wished to learn a man's true character, we must play golf with him. No longer, it seems. These days we need only listen to him before drawing our own conclusions.
To European ears, Sergio Garcia's remark about Tiger Woods may have sounded almost innocuous: 'We'll have him round (to dinner) every night. We'll serve fried chicken.' To Americans, and especially black Americans, it was an unpleasant slur, a crass piece of stereotyping which cited the kind of cheap and lowly food once favoured by black slaves. Woods, quite properly, found it 'wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate'.
Garcia has spent a good deal of time in the United States, so he was surely aware of the offence he was causing, yet the temptation to jabber a cheap joke to a live audience was too great to resist. But the most instructive aspect of the wretched episode was to be found in golf's reaction. Say little, do nothing. Protect the brand, appease the sponsors and never, ever rock the boat.
So it was that George O'Grady, chief executive of the European Tour, and his American counterpart, Tim Finchem, met Garcia at Wentworth, heard his apology and, incredibly, decided not to punish him. 'We consider the matter closed,' said O'Grady. It was, by some distance, the most memorable remark he had ever uttered. Until the following day.
Insisting 'we take this very seriously, as does he (Garcia)', O'Grady went on to claim: 'We accept all races on the European Tour — most of Sergio's friends happen to be coloured athletes.'
It was all there in that single word 'coloured'. Of course, he did not mean to be offensive, but that is scarcely the point. The fact that in the year 2013, one of the public faces of a major sport can be unaware of the word's connotations is almost beyond belief. To put it plainly: if O'Grady is too dim to realise that such a word will give offence, then he is too dim to be in charge of the European Tour.
Meanwhile, Peter Dawson, the chief executive of the R&A and a man for whom the term 'pompous' seems sadly inadequate, was gravely waggling a 40-page dossier as if it held the secrets of the universe. In fact, it contained nothing more significant than a new edict on 'belly putters'.
Enemies: Woods and Garcia haven't always seen eye to eye during their career
Punished: Luis Suarez was banned for eight matches after being found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra
Suspension: John Terry was given a four-match ban and a £220,000 fine for racially insulting Anton Ferdinand
In a few weeks, the Open Championship will be held at Muirfield and Dawson will face a rather more serious question. He will be asked why the oldest major championship in the world is being staged at a club that deny membership to half the population of the planet. He will offer his usual answer, which is that only the media are interested in such matters. Then he will waddle off in blazer and club tie, back to that ordered world of country club certainty, where political correctness never raises its voice and public men are not required to answer damn-fool questions, and the 21st century is held at bay.
But it cannot last, such attitudes cannot prevail. And the reason why they will perish may be found inside the front cover of the R&A's own rule book. It is a wonderfully simple, strangely moving exhortation and it reads: 'Play the ball as it lies, play the course as you find it and if you cannot do either, do what is fair.'
In time, and sooner than later, golf will discover the meaning of fairness; fairness to Woods, fairness to women, fairness to all who aspire to play this wonderful game. And if they have doubts about their direction, then football stands ready to assist.
So, where's all YOUR silverware Mr Poulter?
While Sergio Garcia is actively offensive, his Ryder Cup colleague, Ian Poulter, is merely absurd.
When Arsenal were knocked out of the FA Cup by Blackburn back in February, Poulter — or 'Poults' as he is laddishly known — tossed all his toys clean out of the pram.
Instinctively, he turned to Twitter, the preferred medium of the irate intellectual, to declare: 'Utter c**p Wenger that's your lot you have to go, take a bow you've done an amazing job over the years but enough is enough. Arsenal S***e.'
Now, Arsene Wenger does not normally acknowledge such impertinent drivel but this time he delivered a contemptuous swat. 'We live in a democracy of experts,' he said. 'There are a lot of experts who are not necessarily right.'
He then went on to cajole a sequence of remarkable performances from his squad of players, taking 26 points from the last available 30 and qualifying for the Champions League for the 16th consecutive season.
Look who's talking: Ian Poulter took to Twitter to criticise Arsene Wenger and Arsenal
True, as his critics are fond of reciting, there was no 'silverware'.
But Arsenal's record of lucrative consistency is genuinely staggering, the more so as it comes from the manager who not only built a superb stadium but produced a team who consistently play some of the most attractive football in the Premier League.
Poulter should surely understand the worth of that achievement.
Although a famously combative Ryder Cup player, he has taken part in 41 of golf's 'majors' and has failed to win a single one. It is a kind of consistency, I suppose, but not one which Arsene Wenger would envy.
Shocking? Just ask Lance
Early reports from the Giro d'Italia cycling classic suggested that Danilo Di Luca was performing surprisingly well.
Although short of competition, he had been riding with eye-catching verve and aggression.
Unfortunately, he has something of a shady past, which occasionally comes back to haunt him.
Rich: Italian cyclist Danilo Di Luca was criticised by Lance Armstrong after testing positive for EPO
Tottenham's midfield player, Andros Townsend, has been charged by the Football Association with breaching the game's betting regulations.
The charge apparently covers a number of offences and Townsend has withdrawn from the England Under 21 squad at the European Championship.
All very reprehensible, yet a cynic might suspect football of sending out mixed messages on betting. In the season just ended, 25 per cent of the teams in the Premier League carried the names of gambling companies across the front of their shirts.
He has twice been banned for doping offences, the second related to the blood-boosting drug EPO.
The testers presumably had that past in mind when they tested him five days before the start of the Giro.
And guess what? You've got it. Another EPO positive.
Lance Armstrong, who is something of an authority in these matters, tweeted: 'Really Di Luca? Are you that ****ing stupid??' Not so much moral disapproval as an old lag's scorn for a rank amateur.
But, just for once, you'd have to say that he has a point.

"ECHANISMS FOR DISPENSING UNIT'DOSES OF MATERIALS Filed Aug. 15. 19s? 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 tan 1 16mm 644w Ame P24433 26! A llorneys United States Patent US. Cl. 222-219 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention particularly provides a mechanism for rapidly dispensing unit doses of medicaments, especially to animals such as sheep, wherein the medicament is forced by gas pressure out of a container into the mechanism which includes a rotatable plug with a bore therein in which a member is movable between stop means which define a unit dose. The inlet conduit has two inner ports and two corresponding inner ports are provided for the outlet conduit so that the plug can be oscillated to register the bore with one corresponding pair of ports of the inlet and outlet conduits and the other pair successively, the piston being caused at each registration to move toWards the outlet conduit and dispense a unit dose from the one end of the bore while taking in another unit dose at the other end of the bore.
Background of invention The invention particularly concerns the field of mechanisms which can be used to dispense unit doses of medicaments to animals such as sheep either orally or by injection. While solid material, e.g. in pill form can be dispensed orally by quite simple mechanisms it is preferable to deliver liquid materials in particular from a large source which thus requires the use of a more complicated mechanism which can firstly meter and secondly dispense unit doses of the material. It is becoming increasingly important in veterinary medicine to provide a cheap, simple, yet effective mechanism of this form which can dispense unit doses of medicaments rapidly with a fast turnover so that many animals can be effectively treated in a relatively short time.
Summary of the invention It is an object of this invention to provide a mechanism which will readily and eificiently provide small measured doses of materials.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a mechanism which will render possible the dispensing of modern medicaments in the very small doses consistent with their greater potency, at a fairly rapid rate, and which mechanism will also make possible a reduction in the amount of inert material accompanying the active ingredient(s) Accordingly the invention, in one aspect, provides a mechanism for dispensing unit doses of a liquid, semiliquid or gaseous material, comprising a housing in corporating a rotatable plug, the plug defining a through bore in which measuring means is movable between stop means in the bore to define a unit dose of said material, the housing also defining an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit each having at least two inner ports, each inner port of the inlet conduit being co-axial with a corresponding inner port of the outlet conduit so as to be able to register with the two ends of said bore simultaneously, the inlet conduit having an outer port to which may be detachably sealed a reservoir which contains the material Patented Aug. 5, 1969 to be dispensed and which incorporates an internal pressure source acting on said material and the outlet conduit having an outer port to which a discharge tube may be detachably sealed, the mechanism further incorporating operating means enabling said plug to be rotated so that one end of said bore will be moved out of registration with an inner port of said inlet conduit into registration with an inner port of said outlet conduit and vice versa.
The construction of this mechanism is such that incoming material forces the measuring means to the stop means farthest away from the inlet conduit thus locating a unit dose of the material in the bore on the side of the measuring means nearest an inner port of the inlet con duit and simultaneously displacing an equal dose from the bore on the other side of the measuring means towards an inner port of the outlet conduit.
The main parts of the mechanism are the plug and its associated housing. To prevent leakage of material in its passage from inlet conduit to plug bore and from plug bore to outlet conduit, it is desirable to taper the plug Walls and complement the walls of the cavity in the housing in which the plug is located.
The displacement of the movable measuring means between the stop means defines the unit dose of the material to be contained within the plug bore. In operation, the plug is located such that one end of the plug bore is continuous with an inner port of the inlet conduit with the measuring means as far towards the inlet conduit as its stop means will permit. Material is advanced under pressure from the detachable reservoir into the inlet conduit through the outer port thereof whence it travels to emerge through an inner port of the inlet conduit. The material then meets the measuring means which is displaced along the bore to the other stop means whereby only a dose of material is caused to pass into the plug bore. The plug is then rotated to a second position in which the other wall of the measuring means faces an other inner port of the inlet conduit, the unit dose of material contained within the bore being presented to an inner port of the outlet conduit. As more material is forced through the inlet conduit under pressure to define a new unit dose of material, the measuring means is forced along the bore to the other stop means causing the existing measured dose on the other side of the measuring means to be displaced to the outlet conduit. In operation, therefore, with each rotation of the plug, its bore receives a new unit dose of material from the inlet conduit and displaces the preceding unit dose to the outlet conduit.
When the mechanism is first put to use and the bore contains no material, the incoming material under pressure will of course displace only air or any other fluid from the bore. Following rotation of the plug, the first dose will then be displaced along the bore towards the outer port of the outlet conduit. This dose may or may not be discharged through this outer port and will lie in the part of bore beyond the stop means or in the outlet conduit or in both, depending on the size of the dose, the position of the stop means and the dimensions of the bore and the outlet conduit. Successive doses will fill any space between the stop means and the outlet conduit, until the displacement of the next unit dose by the measuring means by virtue of the pressure in the reservoir, displaces an equal dose of material from the outer port of the outlet conduit at each subsequent load/discharge position of the plug. In practice, therefore, the space between the stop means and the outlet conduit will be filled with material while the mechanism is being operated.
In a simple embodiment, the movable measuring means within the plug bore is a free piston and the limits of its displacement within the bore are defined by any appropriate stop means, for example, circlips. In operation, the
plug is rotated such that the free piston abuts a circlip facing an inner port of the inlet conduit, material is forced in under pressure as described, the plug is rotated through the angle between adjacent inner ports so that the measured dose is presented to an inner port of the outlet conduit and that dose is displaced along the bore and under the pressure of the incoming dose through the other inner port of the inlet conduit.
Another more sophisticated, embodiment is one in which instead of a free piston there is a diaphragm held peripherally in the bore by any convenient means, for example, a screwed ferrule. In operation, the diaphragm is displaced under pressure of the incoming material along the bore to a limit determined by stop means. These may comprise a wire mesh or perforated metal pressings of hemi-spherical shape on each side of the diaphragm, and act not only as stop means for determining the limits of displacement of the diaphragm, but also as support for the diaphragm. The limits of displacement of the diaphragm determine the size of the dose.
The simplest and preferred arrangement of the device of this invention has two sets of inner ports. Each inner port of the outlet conduit of one co-axial set of ports is most preferably adjacent to the inner port of the inlet conduit of the other co-axial set, so that the plug need only be oscillated through a small angle from one load/discharge position to the next. The location of such adjacent ports in the housing should be such as not to allow the bore to register simultaneously with more than one set of ports during oscillation of the plug intermediate one set of ports and the next.
Conveniently a discharge spout is sealed to the outer port of the outlet conduit, which spout is of short length so that the friction does not unduly impede the movement of the material. A cap may be provided for the discharge spout to prevent the medicament therein from drying out.
As previously mentioned, this invention is not limited to guns for orally administering dispensed doses of medicaments to animals. One other possible use in human or veterinary medicine is in administering medicaments and the like by injection and in such a case, the discharge spout will take the form of a mount for a hypodermic needle.
Rotation of the plug within the housing may be achieved manually, mechanically or electrically, by any convenient means. In a simple form, the plug is provided with a gear wheel co-operating with an axial rack whereby the plug may be rotated from one load/discharge position to the next. Stops will be provided to limit the arc of rotation to an appropriate value. It will be appreciated that there is a dose size per defined displacement of the measuring means in the plug bore. While it is possible to vary the dose size by adjusting the position of the stop means, it is more convenient to provide a set of rotatable plugs per housing, each having a plug bore adapted to measure a different dose size. Convenient sizes for such a range of plugs include 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 5 cc.
The reservoir of material to be dispensed may be sealed to the outer port of the inlet conduit by any convenient means. One construction provides a valve at one end of the reservoir biassed outwardly and a constricting gland seating in the housing so that when the reservoir is secured to the housing, the gland lifts the valve off its seating within the reservoir allowing the flow of material into the inlet conduit. Another possible construction is one in which the reservoir contains no valve at all but the seating on the housing has a projecting pin which pierces the top of the reservoir (which may have a thin area of wall for this purpose) so releasing material into the outlet conduit. With this second construction it is convenient to provide a depression in the top of the reservoir and dispose a rubber or like washer about the housing pin so as to present a fluid-tight joint thereby minimising accidental leakage of material.
One way in which the reservoir may be secured to the housing is by hinging sprung arms on the housing, which arms extend the length of the reservoir and bend over to grasp the bottom or top thereof. A second way is by a bayonet catch joint in which bayonet buttons are provided on the housing and bayonet eyelets in the reservoir. Yet another method is by a screw thread connection, conveniently by providing an externally threaded nozzle on the reservoir to mate with an internally threaded area in the seating.
The reservoir is conveniently cylindrical and is made of a material which will withstand pressures, usually of about 20 to lb./sq. in., includes the reservoir for a prolonged period. The reservoir preferably contains its own source of pressure conveniently provided by an internal piston type pressure pack and the pressure may be developed by any convenient gas or gases, for example, nitrogen or carbon dioxide. It is on occasion more convenient to provide an independent source of pressure, e.g. a large cylinder of nitrogen, in which case it is necessary to provide an inlet valve to the internal pressure source in the reservoir, to which a hand-pump may be fitted.
When the required number of doses have been administered and the dosing mechanism is no longer required, it may be put on one side pending re-use. It is an advantageous feature of the mechanism of this invention that an apparatus incorporating the mechanism of this invention need not be dismantled and cleansed thoroughly since the active ingredient in the material to be dispensed may be excluded from contact with air by providnig a cap for the discharge spout. If the reservoir is to be stored separately, a cap for the outer port of the inlet conduit may be proivded.
Brief description of the drawings The drawings show particular preferred embodiments of this invention in which:
FIGURE 1 shows a median longitudinal section through one embodiment of mechanism according to this invention;
FIGURE 2 shows a transverse section through the embodiment shown in FIGURE 1 on line 11-11;
FIGURE 3 shows a median longitudinal section through part of another embodiment of mechanism according to this invention;
FIGURE 4 shows a side elevation view of a trigger mechanism for use with mechanism shown in FIGURE 4; and
FIGURE 5 shows a cross section of an aerosol can to which the mechanism shown in any of the previous figures may be attached.
Description of the preferred embodiments Referring first to FIGURE 1, there is shown a mechanism comprising a rotatable plug 1 located in a hole 2 inside a housing 3. Housing 3 has conduits on each side of hole 2, on one side an inlet conduit 4 (shown in the drawing on the right hand side) and on the other side an outlet conduit 5 (shown on the left hand side of the hole).
Plug 1 contains a bore 6 in which is located a free piston 7 which is capable of longitudinal movement with the bore between limits defined by circlips 8, 8'. The housing on the side of inlet conduit 4 extends outwardly to define a seating for a reservoir. As drawn, the seating comprises a seating chamber 9, closed by a gland 10 and aligned with inlet conduit 4 and bayonet catches 11, 11' for engagement with bayonet eyelets on the outer shell of a reservoir (not shown in this figure). The housing on the side of outlet conduit 5 extends to define a discharge spout 12 with a detachable barrel cap 13.
The tapering shape of plug 1 may be seen from FIG- URE 2 and circlip 8' can be seen in bore 6. The taper of the walls of plug 1 and the hole 2 in housing 3 allows rotation of plug 1 in the vertical plane while maintaining contact between the inner walls of housing 3 and the walls of rotatable plug 1 such that no material can leak therebetween.
Inlet conduit 4 will be seen to branch to form inlet port 4a, adjacent to outlet conduit 5, and inlet port 4b. Outlet conduit 5 branches to form outlet port 5a, adjacent to inlet port 4b, and an outlet port 5b. In the condition shown in FIGURE 1, piston 7 abuts circlip 8 and and inlet conduit 4 and bore 6 are filled with material. In operation, plug 1 is rotated in a clockwise direction until bore 6 registers with ports 5a and 4a with circlip 8 facing the latter. Material under pressure from a reservoir (not shown) forces piston 7 along bore 6 causing the dose of material in bore 6 to be discharge through outlet port 5a towards outlet conduit 5, which in turn displaces a dose of equal volume of material to be discharged from the end of the discharge spout 12. Rotation of plug 1 in an anti-clockwise direction so that bore 6 registers at one end with inlet port 4b and at the other end with outlet port 5b causes, by the mechanism described above, the discharge of another dose of material. Oscillation of the plug 1 in this manner enables repeated doses of the material to be discharged at a fast rate.
Another embodiment of the mechanism is shown in FIGURE 3 which shows only the rotatable plug 1. The same reference numerals as those used in FIGURES 1 and 2 are employed here where applicable. Bore 6 is provided with a centrally located hemi-spherical shaped diaphragm 14 of thin flexible material on each side of which there is mounted a hemi-spherical wire mesh support frame 15, 15'. The ends of diaphragm 14 and wire meshes 15, 15 are supported in a ferrule 16 inset into one side of plug 1 by screwing or crimping.
In operation, material passing through inlet conduit 4 displaces the flexible diaphragm 14 to abut a wire mesh (as drawn, diaphragm 14 would then abut wire mesh 15'). Plug 1 is rotated in the manner before mentioned and the incoming material forces diaphragm 14 to abut mesh 15 thereby displacing a dose equal to the volume contained between the extremities of movement of the diaphragm.
Turning now to FIGURE 4, this shows one form of simple mechanism for rotating the rotatable plug of the mechanism shown in FIGURE 1. An eccentrically placed pin 33 on plug 1 is embraced by arms 34 of a trigger 35. Trigger 35 is hinged at or near the centre 36 of a hand grip 37 which extends downwardly of the housing on the inlet side. Hand grip 37 is so formed that part of trigger 35 may be pressed therein (the lower end of trigger 35 is shown in ghost outline in the lower part of hand grip 37). It is apparent that reciprocal movement of trigger 35 about hinge 36 effects a rotational movement on pin 34 thereby oscillating plug 1 through an arc of about 30-40.
FIGURE 5 shows a metallic aerosol can 40 having a flexible inner container 41 enclosing the material 42 to be dispensed upon which pressure is exerted by means of compressed gas 43 in the remainder of the container. Material 42 passes through a valve device 44 into inlet conduit 4 of the mechanism shown in FIGURE 1, the mechanism being held in place to operate the valve 44 by the bayonet catches 11, 11' engaging with bayonet eyelets at 45, 45 on can 40. The valve 44 ends in outlet spout 46 which is sealed by gland 10.
We claim:
1. A mechanism for dispensing unit doses of a liquid, semi-liquid, or gaseous material comprising a housing having an opening therein, a rotatable plug being positioned within and in sealing relationship with the opening in said housing, said plug having a bore therethrough extending from one to the other surfaces of the opening, a flexible diaphragm extending transversely across and being secured to said bore about its periphery, a perforated stop member being disposed on each side of said dia phragm, each of said stop members being secured within and extending across said bore and being equally spaced from said diaphragm and the perforations therein permitting the material to pass therethrough, said housing forming an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit, said inlet conduit extending from the exterior of said housing to the opening therein and said inlet conduit being branched to afford at least two inlet ports communicating with the opening, said outlet conduit extending from the exterior of said housing to the opening therein and said outlet conduit being branched to afford at least two outlet ports communicating with the opening, each of said inlet ports being disposed in axial alignment across said opening with one of said outlet ports and said bore and said plug being arranged for selectively interconnecting a pair of axially aligned said inlet and outlet ports as said plug is rotated within said opening, a reservoir containing a source of material to be dispensed through said housing in detachably sealed engagement with said inlet conduit at the exterior of said housing, means for pressurizing the material within said reservoir, and said outlet conduit having a discharge opening on the exterior of said housing for discharging the material from said housing after its passage through said bore in said plug, and operating means for reciprocally rotating said plug within said opening whereby each end of said bore is reciprocally positionable between one of said inlet ports and one of said outlet ports and when one end of said bore is in communication with one said inlet port the other end thereof is in communication with one said outlet port so that the pressurized material being delivered through said inlet port from said reservoir to said inlet ports for alternately supplying the material to the opposite ends of said bore, the supply of the material into said bore urging said flexible diaphragm against said perforated stop member on the opposite side thereof and said diaphragm thereby displacing the material on the opposite side of said diaphragm outwardly from said bore through said outlet port into said outlet conduit, and the equal spacing between said diaphragm and said stop members affording uniform doses which are discharged from said outlet conduit during each reciprocal movement of said plug with said bore therethrough alternating at its ends between said inlet and outlet ports.
2.

On June 27, 1844, when that stage came through Carthage, Sonny saw a mob gathered around the jail. As passengers got off the stage, the shooting started. Sonny drove the stage to the stable and saw Joseph fall from the jail window.
Samuel, who was one of the eight witnesses to the Book of Mormon, never made it to the Carthage Jail before the martyrdom.
He lived southeast of Nauvoo in nearby Plymouth, Ill., and was on horseback to see his brothers in Carthage. He escaped after being met by members of the mob who chased him through the woods.
Samuel was part of the 14-person bodyguard of Joseph and Hyrum when their bodies were returned to Nauvoo the next day in his wagon. Just over a month later, Samuel died on July 30 as a result of the fatigue from the chase of June 27, leaving six children behind and preceding by 21 days the birth of his daughter, Lucy J.C.
Other members of the then Quorum of the Twelve as well as two future church presidents were on missions in Massachusetts, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Nauvoo at the time of the martyrdom.
Elders Taylor and Richards, the only two apostles who were not away on missions, were in the jail cell of their own accord.
Joseph, in his journal, noted Nauvoo had 15,000 inhabitants. There were between 25,000 and 26,000 members of the church in 1844. Today, Nauvoo has a population around 1,000. Joseph's final journey from Nauvoo to Carthage as one of 15 men took 15 miles. Nowadays, it takes 23 miles on paved roads for a similar route.
The Nauvoo Temple was completed after Joseph and Hyrum's martyrdom, razed shortly thereafter and now rebuilt in 2002. It was closed the afternoon of the martyrdom's anniversary, which also marked the 10th anniversary of the rebuilt temple.

Hebrews 11: 1
"Old Rugged Cross"
Christmas morning 2012 saw the passing of our beloved
father, grandfather and great-grandfather,
Bobby "Bob" George Meyers. He was bom in McAlester,
Oklahoma on September 4, 1928. At age 14,
he and his family moved to Los Angeles, California,
where he would meet his wife, the dearly departed
Alice V. Meyers. He served in World War II on the
aircraft carrier USS Shangri-La, in the Central Pacific to
participate in Operation "Crossroads" the atomic bomb
tests conducted at Bikini Atoll. After the war,
he worked 3 jobs,Metlox Ceramics as a potter, Arden
Farms as a milkman and Pep Boys. After moving to Santa
Barbara in 1962 he entered the sheet metal industry., he
served as the president of his local union #273 for many
years. He loved fishing, the outdoors and regularly took
time to enjoy them. It was the tittle things in life: a cup of
coffee and people watching at the coffee shop, tinkering
around in the garage or planting EIephant garlic in
the front yard. Bob was a person who disarmed you with his
charm and endeared you to him with his positive
character. He was a guide to his grandsons teaching
respect, honor, and responsibility. He was a man, in the
best sense of that word. He was strong, stern,
unwavering, and he did the right thing when it needed to
be done. Our greatest memories of him will always be the
welcoming to him with the words "What one thing do
you know for sure?" and our response,
"Grandpa loves me". His life beliefs were constant,
love of family and of God, defined him.
He was a devoted family man and is survived by
2 daughters, 4 grandsons and 8 great-grandchildren.
We loved him dearly and will greatly miss him.
We are thankful that his pain has ended and thit the
Lord has called him home at last.

Vintage Carriage, your personalized provider for
horse drawn weddings, horse drawn funerals/hearse, Christmas light tours, and hayrides
"We Make Memories
Sadly, we lost a beloved family member last night. Champ, a 12 year
old Percheron gelding passed away suddenly. We are devastated.
Preliminary indications from our veterinarian are that he may have
died of an aneurism. If that is the case, we can take comfort in
knowing Champ did not suffer. He was also with his team mate Tom
(also a Percheron gelding who is in mourning for his friend) and a
long-term employee and experienced horseman who knew him well when
he passed. We want to thank the Dallas Police Department for their
compassion last night, and their assistance during this tragedy. All
rides for today and tomorrow are cancelled and we are in the process
of notifying our customers. Champ was a sweet, docile boy with
the longest mane. A very kind a gentle soul who has left a hole in
our hearts. He will be buried under our 100+ year old pecan tree
where we can visit him daily and he can have lovely shade during the
hot summer months.

Customer review "GeIL Black Dragon 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (GD38GB1600C11DC)"
Just got two sets of these, running sweet and as always a suberb delivery from overclockers. Totally recommend this product.
Works a treat.
Bought 2 sets of these for my new rig. Works perfectly fine. I managed to get the CAS latency to 9-9-9-24 and the RAM speed to 1600Mhz.
Works as needed
So i bought 2 sets of these last year upgrading pc and due to the debacle about the palid graphics cards one of these chips got lost in the room reshuffle, it had memtest errors like you wouldn't beleive, thing is i have no doubt they'd replaced it if i'd have found it earlier. Some just get an erroneous fabrication. It happens.
The other 3 chips work amazingly fine for the price, it really makes me wonder what difference there could be found with more expensive ram.
Great piece of kit
Really speedy RAM. Got this on the week only offer, OcUk's delivery was as fast as ever as per usual.
If you want some cheap RAM which will give your PC a decent performance boost, buy this.
Cheap, fast, and looks great. Does the job.
Couldn't ask for better/cheaper RAM!
Does the job perfectly for gaming!
I like some of the other reviewers found that by default this ram runs at 1333mhz. You have to go into the BIOS and set the latency to 11-11-11 -28T or 29T, save and reboot and it shows as 1600mhz, not that it will make much difference. I paid
Could not recommend
Was hoping this would be an upgrade from my 4x2GB Kingston valueram, however the performance rating in windows went down from 7.8 to 7.3 when i swapped them out. furthermore the ram apparently runs at 1333mhz not 1600 as advertised (when i set on 1600 in bios i get BSOD) but the kingston ram could easily run on 1800mhz and it was only advertised as 1333mhz ram.. So apart from the nice aesthetics it is a bit of a downgrade for a higher price. NOT BAD, for 23.99
Fast and cheap (price)
Just got this ram to replace my old ram in my dell xps 7100, runs very fast and for the price its a steel. will be buying some more.
Cheap and works!
brought this because my old ram was failing.I decided to buy it because it was so cheap, i didn't expect it to work so well, works perfectly and has lights....no real point in lights..but still awesome XD

I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. T.J. Rodgers, President and CEO of Cypress Semiconductor. Sir, you may begin.
T.J. Rodgers
Good morning. We're here to report the third quarter. We'll do it standard way, starting out with Brad Buss, CFO, talking about the financials.
Brad Buss
Thank you, T.J. Thanks, everybody for joining us today. Just a couple of quick things before I go into the details, obviously everything we're talking about is our preliminary unaudit results. We'll be filing our 10-Q on schedule and we encourage you to take a look at that including the risk factors that we have in that document, as well as in our press release.
One more little bit housekeeping before I kick off. You'll notice in the table in the press release, we've renamed our other bucket to reflect really what the group is, called emerging technologies, there's been no changes to the components that are in there, and there's been no historical adjustment at all.
When we've also added a simple subtotal of our three reportable divisions, MID, CCD and DCD, so that you can kind of see what the core semiconductor business is doing. You can see the impact of the emerging technology group has on our consolidated results and then you can properly reflect and value each one of them as you remember, SunPower and feedstock used to be part of what we used to call emerging technologies as well.
We have a pretty good track record and that's giving you a call option in our opinion on some future value and growth. So, if you have any questions on that, I'd be glad to follow with up, but just some simple changes there. As far as Q3 results, I'm very pleased and my body language reflects it, doesn't. That we had better revenue, gross margins, net income, EPS and cash flow than we originally expected.
This exceeded our prior guidance and also beat the street consensus as of the end of the quarter. We, again demonstrated very strong operating leverage in our business model, and we expect that to continue well into 2010. For Q3, we reported $178.7 million, which is a 15% sequential increase and a decrease of 20% on a year-over-year basis.
Revenue for the quarter exceeded the top range of guidance due to strengthen CCD and MID, by division, MID increased 8% versus the prior quarter, to by strength in our SRAM business due to market share gains and an increase in communications and demand. DCD was basically flat, as we expected due to lower end of life military shipments.
In CCD, they grew 20% sequentially in Q2; they not did up again in Q3 and grew 26% sequentially, driven by better than normal seasonal growth, as well as continued strong growth in our TrueTouch touchscreen solutions portfolio. TrueTouch continues to grow very rapidly as we continue to add new customers and additional handset models into volume production and we expect very strong sequential growth again in Q4.
As a reminder, I've said that I expect TrueTouch to be our fastest growing programmable product line to reach 100 million accumulative revenue and we also expect TrueTouch to be one of our top five revenue generating product lines by the end of this year. Again, very stronger results for a very new product that's very hot right now. In addition in the quarter, we also benefited from strong USB sales in a seasonally strong PC quarter, as you've been seeing from some of the earlier results.
On a GAAP basis, we posted a net loss of $19.7 million or $0.13 a share, which was driven primarily by non--cash charges for stock-based comp of approximately $31 million, another 80-ish million in additional restructuring activities and just under a million in historical acquisition-related expenses. This is down significantly from the net loss of $0.32 per basic share in Q2.
Non-GAAP net income was $19.2 million, resulting in earnings per fully diluted share of $0.10, which was better than the $0.05 to $0.07 I guided, even with a slightly higher share count. EPS strength came from internal operating leverage, which again was the higher revenue we had stronger gross margins and we continued to have very tight OpEx controls and again this was a significant increase from last quarter's diluted net loss per share of $0.03 cents.
Margins very pleased obviously where they came in and you saw our consolidated non-GAAP gross margins at 51.9%. That's up a full 7.7 percentage points from the prior quarter and was above our guidance. This was driven by our internal utilization moving up. We also achieved record wafer starts from our foundry partners and obviously had a favorable product mix with a higher mix of CCD revenue. This is the highest non-GAAP gross margin we've posted since 2004, and we've exceeded our 2008 peak gross margins, even on a substantially lower revenue base.
Our core semiconductor gross margins again, which includes the impacts of emerging technology division, were an impressive 53.7%. Our average utilization based on wafer starts in the quarter and our historically installed capacity, which I'll explain later, was 69% for Q3, up a full 10 percentage points from our Q2 utilization rate of 59.
However, if you look at how we're looking at it based on our current staffing levels, which are reduced and we've adjusted our equipment capacity, our real utilization in Q3 was 78%, up 12% from Q2, and I expect to be in that range again in Q4. Again, we're going to start reporting on this adjusted utilization rate going forward, because that more properly reflects what we're doing and what you can expect.
As we have been discussing pretty heavily over the last year or so, our move to a flex fab strategy is continuing to pay off, approximately 38% of our wafers made came from our foundry partners in the quarter, a record amount, and we expect that we'll be at approximately a 50/50 split within the next two years, as we do not plan any substantial footprint increase in our one remaining fab.
Product margins remained relatively stable as approximately 80% of our revenue is proprietary and programmable. Our average ASPs in Q3 have increased year-over-year by 3%, which has been very encouraging in this economic environment. They decreased 5% sequentially to $1.32, and that was really mostly due to a higher level of CCD revenue in Q3. The vast majority of our main product lines had ASPs that were flat or slightly up, so we've been very pleased with what we call our product margins have held in.
On the OpEx front, our non-GAAP operating expenses increased by $1 million sequentially in the report and that totaled $75.8 million, but as you know, that included a $2.3 million non-cash accounting charge relate to the valuation of our deferred comp plan, and you can see the breakout of that in the face of the press release on the income statement. When I do my guidance, I don't assume any movement in the deferred comp plan, because it's so hard to predict.
So if you look at it on a comparable basis, we actually reported $73.5 million versus my guidance of $73 million to $75 million. So we came at the lower end of our OpEx and that's due to our continued focus on cost containment. Just to put things in perspective, our non-GAAP operating expenses, which include any of the deferred comp charges and/or benefits, which can happen in certain quarters, decreased 18% year-on-year and we continue to push forward with a lot of our cost containment efforts well into 2010.
Just a quick note on headcount in Q3, our worldwide headcount totaled approximately 3,600 people, and that's a decrease of 19% since our peak in Q3 '08. Pay cuts are coming back in Q4. In Q3, we turned our bonus plans back on and any accrual related to that was already in the reported numbers.
So even as we're turning back some of the temporary expenses, we're still managing to keep the OpEx very low and just as a side note, none of the executive staff are having their pay cuts restored until we hit a 15% non-GAAP PBT. So, again, another part of our demonstration of our commitment to drive the operating leverage further into 2010.
Our other operating income was a gain of $3 million, and again, the other $2.5 million for the deferred comp was a benefit in there. The real cash impact was half million dollars in interest income. The taxes were inline with my guidance of about 900K. Our basic shares came in at $152 million, consistent with my guidance. Fully diluted shares were $198 million, and that was slightly above my guidance due to a higher average stock price and some increased option exercises and I'll go into the share count more when I give the guidance.

We study formal properties of smooth max-information, a generalization of von Neumann mutual information derived from the max-relative entropy. Recent work suggests that it is a useful quantity in one-shot channel coding, quantum rate distortion theory, and the physics of quantum many-body systems. Max-information can be defined in multiple ways. We demonstrate that different smoothed definitions are essentially equivalent (up to logarithmic terms in the smoothing parameters). These equivalence relations allow us to derive new chain rules for the max-information in terms of min- and max-entropies, thus extending the smooth entropy formalism to mutual information.

Philadelphia (34-29) at Los Angeles (31-30)
- Game info: 10:05 pm EDT Tue Jun 10, 2003
Jim Thome may not be playing in the American League anymore. But he's still haunting the Anaheim Angels.
Thome hopes to help the Philadelphia Phillies continue their interleague resurgence when the take on the Anaheim Angels in the middle game of their series at Edison Field.
After 10 successful seasons with the Cleveland Indians, Thome signed a six-year, $85 million deal with the Phillies in the offseason. His unfamiliarity with NL pitchers has contributed to some early season struggles.
But he's no stranger to the Angels.
Thome entered Monday's opener with a .317 career average against Anaheim with 17 homers and 52 RBIs from his years with the Indians.
He continued to torment Anaheim on Monday by clubbing a long homer and adding an RBI single, that lifted the Phillies to a 3-0 victory. Philadelphia has won three straight after opening interleague play with a four-game skid.
"It's always nice to play in parks you're familiar with," said Thome, who now has eight career homers at Edison Field.
Jimmy Rollins accounted for Philadelphia's other run, launching a solo homer in the seventh, and Vicente Padilla threw seven solid innings for the Phillies.
Despite their loss Monday, the world champion Angels have won six of nine.
Scott Speizio had half of Anaheim's six hits and is batting .347 (26-for-75) over his last 22 games with four doubles, three triples, two homers and 10 RBIs.
STANDINGS: Phillies - 3rd place, 9 GB, NL East. Angels - 3rd place, 11 GB, AL West.
PHILLIES PROBABLE STARTER: Brandon Duckworth (3-1, 5.21 ERA). Duckworth hasn't figured into a decision since a May 17 victory over Houston, sporting a 4.19 ERA in three starts since the win. The 27-year-old right-hander allowed two runs and four hits over seven innings in Philadelphia's 5-4 loss to Seattle on Thursday, striking out seven and walking two. He makes his first career start against the Angels.
ANGELS PROBABLE STARTER: John Lackey (3-5, 6.14 ERA). Lackey has yielded a combined nine runs and 15 hits over 11 2-3 innings over his two starts. The 24-year-old right-hander didn't figure into the decision of Anaheim's 8-7 loss to Montreal on Thursday, getting hit for four runs and seven hits over six innings, while striking out five and walking one. He makes his first career start against the Phillies.
OFFENSIVE LEADERS: Phillies - Mike Lieberthal, .328 avg.; Thome, 15 HRs and 48 RBIs; Jimmy Rollins, 41 runs and 7 SBs. Angels - Garret Anderson, .311 avg. and 57 RBIs; Troy Glaus, 14 HRs and 41 runs; Adam Kennedy, 10 SBs.
INTERLEAGUE RECORDS: Phillies - 3-4; Angels - 4-3.
STREAKS AND NOTES: Phillies - RHP Jose Mesa pitched a perfect ninth on Monday for his 16th save in 19 chances. It was his 103rd save with the Phillies, tying Steve Bedrosian's club record. Mesa is one of 10 pitchers to record at least 100 saves with two different teams since major league baseball began keeping the statistic in 1969. … The Phillies are third in the NL with a 3.65 team ERA, behind Los Angeles (3.03) and Chicago (3.64). … 3B David Bell was 7-for-23 with a home run and four RBIs for San Francisco in last year's World Series against Anaheim but was 0-for-4 Monday. Angels - Twelve of Anaheim's 31 victories are come-from-behind wins, six of those when trailing by three runs or more. … OF Anderson was named AL player of the week for the first time in his career after batting .448 (13-for-29) with eight runs scored, a double, six home runs and 15 RBI. … SS David Eckstein played for the first time in four games since bruising a bone in his left hand during batting practice late last week. Eckstein pinch-ran in the eighth inning.
ROAD/HOME RECORDS: Phillies - 16-14 on the road; Angels - 15-13 at home.
INJURIES: Phillies - INF Tyler Houston (finger), 15-day DL; RHP David Coggin (shoulder), 15-day DL. Angels - RHP Mickey Callaway (shoulder), 15-day DL; RHP Matt Wise (elbow), 60-day DL.

Warmth (Mikoto x Reader)
I walked in the midnight winter road with Mikoto by my side. My teeth were chattering from the cold as I dug my mittened hands into the pockets of my jacket.
"Damn it... It's so cold..." I shivered.
I looked at Mikoto who was smoking calmly, not even affected by the cold. How does he manage to stay warm!? He only wore a jacket and no mittens. So I wonder how does he keep himself warm...
Mikoto stared at me with his piercing eyes. "Are you cold?" He asked.
"Huh? Oh, n-n-no... I'm f-fine..." I shivered.
Mikoto sighed and draped his arm over my shoulder as he brought me closer to me. I was surprised but my mind calmed down when I started to feel warm. I looked at my hand and noticed the red aura surrounding me and Mikoto. He must have shared his warmth with me...
I smiled and leaned my head to Mikoto's shoulder as we continued walking in the winter cold night.
Your drabbles are the best I've read
I love it !
That's so awesome ill give you a hug because I'm lonely myself hehe~ ^^ *hugs*
*gives you a hug* Another cute drabble :3 And that combined with Mikoto makes the perfect match!

Has anyone stopped BF and switched to a hypo-formula with success in stool?
Comments (4)
Peds aren't as invested in bf as you are so it is so much easier for them to recommend taking a break without considering the risks of supply issues. For them, if you do lose your supply, it's just another person going to formula. That being said, there are some moms that do the trial and have no supply issues at all and others who it really hurts their supply. My dd refused to take a bottle so I never did the trial (doubt I would have anyway). You just have to do what you think is best for you and your family.
How long have you been on the TED? Looks like you haven't even been dairy free that long. Dairy can take 4-6 weeks to leave your system and all other foods about a week. After that time, it can still take a week or sometimes more for your lo's digestive system to heal. If you feel that it is due to something still in your diet it might be time to consider swapping a TED food. A lot of moms on this board have to give up rice because their lo's react to it. I know it seems crazy, but it really is a common one on this board. If after a week your lo isn't showing any improvement maybe you could swap turkey for something like bison, or pears for peaches.
Mom to O 05/09
Ypzlevoit, I didnt't even think about putting Vaseline on him. Sometimes there are strings of blood while other times it is just lots of bright red specks. I will try this also.
Chewiekin, I'm glad to hear that formula worked for you! If things aren't better in a few weeks I may try the neocate!
Thank you all for the advice, I really appreciate it!

Bow Tie Cinemas at the Harbour Center continues its weekly "Cine Classic" film series with the 1964 James Bond thriller, Goldfinger. Although there had been two Bond films before it, Goldfinger took the series into a new level of popularity and made an international star of its leading man, Sean Connery.
The first Bond film to win an Academy Award (Best Sound Editing) the movie perfectly blends fantasy and realism giving viewers equal amounts of suspense, action, and (for its day) daring sexual situations.
Here's the original trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94UpZMvUvEk
Often imitated, but never surpassed in the spy thriller genre, Goldfinger remains the quintesenntial Bond flick.
On Saturday April 13, starting at 10:30 a.m., I'll give a 25 minute talk before the film featuring information about its production and behind-the-scenes stories and trivia.
Admission is $5.50 ($4.50 with a Bow Tie free Criterion Club card which can be obtained online at Bow Tie's website or at the theater.)
Be sure to check Bow Tie Harbour 9's website for the complete list of weekend Cine Classic films scheduled for April.
I'll be doing presentations, beginning at 10:30 a.m., for each film at its Saturday screening.
Hope to see lots of fellow Annapolis Movie Club members Saturday mornings at Bow Tie Harbour 9.
Let me know where.
