DETROIT -- A look at the offensive snaps played by Patriots skill-position players in the team's 45-24 win over the Lions (as charted in press box, small margin for error):
WR Deion Branch -- 46 of 54
WR Wes Welker -- 46 of 54
TE Rob Gronkowski -- 44 of 54
TE Alge Crumpler -- 30 of 54
RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis -- 28 of 54
RB Danny Woodhead -- 26 of 54
WR Brandon Tate -- 20 of 54
TE Aaron Hernandez -- 17 of 54
FB Sammy Morris -- 7 of 54
WR Julian Edelman -- 4 of 54
FB Dan Connolly -- 2 of 54
(Chip block, defensive pass interference and offensive holding penalties included; kneel-downs not included.)
ANALYSIS: A clear pattern has emerged in recent weeks with Deion Branch and Wes Welker playing together more in two-receiver sets, which has limited Brandon Tate's snaps. Tate played 10 snaps apiece between the first and second half. Of Tate's snaps, only six came in the two-receiver set, with the rest in the three-receiver set. ... At tight end, Rob Gronkowski continues to be the top playing time option in recent weeks. He was a solid contributor in the win over the Lions with five receptions for 65 yards. ... Although Fred Taylor was active, he did not play. The Patriots split the running back snaps evenly, with BenJarvus Green-Ellis earning top billing (12 carries, 59 yards, 2 TDs). When he runs like that, and there are limited offensive plays, there is less of a need to integrate another back into the mix.

I was in this heavy around 7.50 pre~breakup of the company and enjoyed the ride up until the split. At that point I decided to exit not caring very much for the breakup itself nor the prices the individual pieces were trading for following all the adjustments that took place.Proving that you can't time the market I then missed the run from 30ish to 35.00. That was ok though as I noted when I sold that I saw that range as possible but I was equally if not more concerned about the downside. In any event...downside we've had since the 35 level leading up to yesterdays prices in the low 23's. I did pick up a few shares around 28 and sold some calls on them...but yesterday marks my reentry where I'm again buying in ernest and where I consider this a very good value once again. I think the market cap of this company minus the cash is very compelling for both the name brand that this company carries as well as their two respective businesses...cable boxes/equipment and smartphones.I really like where they're going with this and particularly the Atrix in the way it's integrating mobile and home computing..tying it all together. The companies dominance with cable boxes will let that continue further and I think we're quickly heading to where one device pretty much fits all and ties this all in together. And no one is better suited right now to do that than Motorola. In terms of price range.I think it's probably back to around 30 or so from here and I see these prices as the low perhaps with 35 again as the upper end of the range for now.In any event...good luck to all.MMI = Strong buy IMO.
I can't see how MMI will compete in the tablet / smartphone arena. APPL is dominating the tablet and smartphone at this time and the forseeable future.I really don't think this is a buy at all. MMI management has already stated set-top box revenue would be flat and due to heavy competition in the smartphone/tablet area...I just don't see MMI growing revenue in that area either. So where is the growth going to come from for MMI??
Its funny how people throw ALL devices into Mobile bucket and then figure out the market share per company. You should look at market share per device category and the growth (or decline) in each sector. If you look at the smart phones alone, which incidentally is where highest margins are, Motorola is doing pretty well.
i'd suggest you study their numbers a bit. Their smartphone shipments have almost doubled over the last year and going for another 70% increase year on year this year. Their overall market share including the non-smart phones have slightly declined. If you look into the product mix, they're almost at 50% in teh mix with smartphones and it will increase quarter after quarter as it's their focus. Also, teh tablets are 100% incremental.Bottomline, the growth is coming from the Android based smartphones and tablets..
who's losing market share??lpaa:rewsna

The invention relates to the fabrication of semiconductor devices and more particularly to methods for providing substantially planar integrated circuit structures before the deposition of interconnection metallurgy.
The growing and regrowing of insulating films such as silicon dioxide and the use of polysilicon in the form of conductors, ohmic contacts, resistors and the like in the manufacture of integrated circuits cause irregular or substantially non-planar surfaces across the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A major problem that is caused by these irregular or non-planar surface is loss of resolution in the standard lithographic masking processes. For example, metallized conductors formed on the insulating films have different widths across the surface of the semiconductor body due to the different resist development because of the resolution problems. To prevent conductors from having varying widths to the point where they might cause short circuits, extra spacing or tolerances are required with each conductor. The increased tolerances reduce the number of devices that may be formed in the semiconductor structure. This problem increases with each higher level of metallurgy. In highly dense integrated circuits 3 or 4 levels of interconnection metallurgy is required. A further problem is the different thicknesses of insulation across the semiconductor structure causes over-etching in places during the formation of openings in the insulator. The electrical characteristics of the devices in the integrated circuit can be altered by this particular problem.
These problems have been recognized in the prior art and attempts have been made to overcome the topographical problems. One form of partial planarization of electrically insulative films has used the technique of resputtering. This technique has been described in the J. S. Lechaton et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,804,738 and the R. P. Auyang et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,022. Another technique for planarization of insulating film thickness is described by R. P. Esch et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,899,372 wherein the differential growth rate of films on semiconductor surfaces has been optimized so that the differential rate of growth of insulative film is higher in the lower elevation areas than in the higher elevation areas which results in a substantially planar film at the end of the process.
These techniques, while partially solving the planarity problem, do not fully overcome planary particularly as the need for more than one or two levels of metallurgy is required on the surface of integrated circuits due to the increased complexities.
Another line of effort has concentrated on overcoming sharp edges on insulative films formed as passivating layers on integrated circuit structures. The desire to smooth out sharp corners in such structures is important to reduce the potential stresses which cause defects in the integrated circuit structure. Patents which represent this technology include the G. E. Moore U.S. Pat. No. 3,825,442; D. L. Tolliver et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,887,733; T. Komeda et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,204,894; K. Nishimoto et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,224,089; Garbarino et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,571 and K. Shirai et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,271,582. These patents in one way or another suggest deposition of a film on the integrated circuit structure, opening of a hole through such film and the heating of the structure so as to overcome the sharp corners at the opening through the film by a flow of the glasseous material. These techniques are solely involved in thin films usually of phosphosilicate glass, and which only attempt to smooth the sharp corners at the openings. There is no suggestion of solving the other more significant problem involving the planarity of an integrated circuit structure before the formation of the metallurgy interconnection system.
J. R. Welling U.S. Pat. No. 4,183,135 describes a method for encapsulation of bumps on a semiconductor die. The process involves coating the bumps and the active area with unfired glass and subsequently firing the glass at a temperature generally below 450° C. The firing causes a remelting of the glass and the formation of a continuous glass layer over the bumps. This invention is directed to solve a hermetic encapsulation problem involving a simple semiconductor device.
In accordance with the present invention a method is described for forming a planarized integrated circuit structure just prior to the formation of metallurgy interconnection lines on the integrated circuit. The method begins with the integrated circuit intermediate product having devices formed therein but before interconnection metallurgy has been formed on the principal surface of the product. A glass layer is deposited in a non-conformal way onto the principal surface of the integrated circuit. The glass is chosen to have a thermal coefficient of expansion that approximates that silicon and has a softening temperature of less than about 1200° C. The thermal coefficient of expansion approximates that of silicon to reduce stress problems in the integrated circuit structure. The relatively low softening temperature is required for the next step of heating the structure to cause the flow of glass on the surface of the integrated circuit product to fill in the irregularities therein and to thereby planarize the integrated circuit surface. Openings are then formed through the glass down to the device elements of the integrated circuit and the interconnection metallurgy is formed over the surface of the glass and through the openings of the glass to interconnect the device elements of the integrated circuit. The glass may be deposited by various methods which include the sedimentation methods of spraying, centrifuging and spin-on plus sputtering or evaporation methods.
FIGS. 1 through 4 shows a first embodiment for planarizing a bipolar integrated circuit structure.
FIGS. 5 through 7 illustrate a second embodiment for planarizing a field effect transistor single random access memory cell integrated circuit.
FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a bipolar integrated circuit structure which uses a polycrystalline silicon base contacts. This integrated circuit and its manufacture can be more fully understood with reference to the T. H. Ning et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,157,269 and the N. G. Anantha et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,160,991. The structure includes recessed oxide isolation regions, ROI, which isolate surface monocrystalline silicon regions from one another and which isolate the baseemitter region from the collector reach-through region. The bipolar integrated circuit structure is formed on a P-<100> crystallographic oriented silicon substrate 10. The base region 14 contains emitter region 16. An N+ collector reach-through region 18 cooperates with the N+ buried subcollector region 20 which is located in the P- substrate 10 and the epitaxial layer 19 thereover. Other portions of the epitaxial layer 19 are N- doped. Surface insulating layers 22, 23 are present to isolate the contacts to the elements of the devices in the semiconductor integrated circuit structure which are not desired to be contacted. The layer 22 may be composed of for example silicon dioxide and layer 23 composed of silicon nitride. However, in some structures only silicon dioxide is utilized. Polycrystalline silicon contact 30 is made to the base region. A silicon dioxide layer 32 is formed over the polycrystalline silicon contact 30. A screen silicon dioxide layer 31 covers the emitter region 16 and collector reach-through region 18. It can be seen from FIG. 1 that the principal surface containing devices of this bipolar integrated circuit structure is substantially irregular and non-planar at the point where the first metallurgy interconnection is desired.
The FIG. 1 structure is now ready to be planarized with the dielectric glass material having a thermal coefficient of expansion that approximates that of silicon. The preferred range of the coefficient is between about 20 to 60×10-7 per degree centigrade. The other important criterion for this glass metal is its softening temperature and its ability to flow upon heating to that softening temperature or above. The thickness of this glass is of the order of less than 1.5 micrometers and preferably less than one micrometers. Examples of glasses which will act according to these criterion are given in Tables I, II and III. The listed glasses merely are illustrative of glasses which can be used in this invention. The Table I gives examples of borosilicate, lead borosilicate and calcium alumino borosilicate glasses. The Table II lists glass-ceramics of the β-spodumene type. The Table III lists glass-ceramics of the cordierite type. The Tables II and III were taken from the A. H. Kumar et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,301,324 dated Nov. 17, 1981 and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
Subsequent to the formation of the emitter, an insulating SiO2 surface substantially covers the entire device. To this layer, to prevent diffusion of undesired impurities such as Na, a silicon nitride film of about 500-1500 Å can be deposited. Whether or not the use of this film is necessary depends upon the glass to be used. This film acts as a barrier for preventing unwanted impurities from diffusion through it. In some processes such a film is always present. The glass is then deposited over this silicon nitride film.

Referring now to FIG. 2 there is shown the result of the deposition of a glass layer 40 which fills the irregularities and covers the surface of the semiconductor integrated circuit. There are several ways to deposit the glass layer 40. The one aspect of these methods which is common to all is that the resulting glass preferentially deposits upon horizontal rather than vertical surfaces, that is a non-conformal deposition. One technique utilizes the sedimentation, centrifugation or spin-on of colloidal glass particles. Other methods would include the sputtering or evaporation of the glass onto the surface.
Sedimentation techniques by centrifugation are supplied generally in U.S. Pat. No. 3,212,921 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,212,929. Glass sedimentation is described in Pliskin and Conrad "Techniques for Obtaining Uniform Thin Glass Film on Substrates", Electrochemical Technology, Vol. 2, No. 7-8, pages 196-200 (1964). Spin-on techniques are described in J. A. Amick et. al., J. Vac. Soc. Tech. 14, No. 5, page 1053 (1977). In accordance with this known technology, a finally ground glass powder having properties providing a better match to silicon is employed as illustrated in the Table I. The glass power is ultrasonically mixed with a reasonably high dielectric medium. Typically, such a liquid is isopropyl alcohol. Then a lower dielectric constant fluid, such as ethyl acetate is added and is ultrasonically mixed with the other materials. By centrifugation techniques, coarse particles are then separated from this suspension. Centrifuging for several minutes at a medium rotate speed, for example at 500 G (gravitation) is utilized and the decanted liquid suspension obtained has fine particles of glass desirable for the glass deposition process. These steps may be repeated to obtain better separation and finer particles in the suspension which hereinafter will be referred to as the "concentrate". The glass suspension concentrate will then be coated onto the substrate in accordance with any of the above referenced techniques. The structure is then fired for a few minutes at a temperature above the softening point of the glass to form a clear glass film.
Sputtering methods could be used for depositing the glass by forming a target of the glass material and subsequently applying R.F. The sputtering process for insulators such as the glasses of the present invention is described in detail in the Handbook of Thin Film Technology, by L. I. Maissel et. al., published by McGraw Hill Book Co, New York, N.Y. 1970, pages 4-31 through 4-44.
The evaporation method for deposition of these glasses would use the E-beam evaporation technique. The films so formed would contour to the topography to a greater extent than by the previously mentioned methods. Fusing the glass film will correspondingly flow the glass. The methods for E-beam evaporation of these materials can be better understood with reference to pages 1-65 through 1-73 of the above-cited Handbook of Thin Film Technology and the W. Fedrowitz et. al. paper entitled "The Evaporation Capability of Various Glasses", published in Thin Solid Films, 72 (1980), pages 485 through 486.
The FIG. 2 glass coated structure is further planarized by heating it at or above the softening point of the glass layer 40. At this temperature the softened glass will flow to approach a planarity. The result of this process is shown in FIG. 3.
Referring now to FIG. 4 the openings are formed through the glass layer and silicon dioxide layers where appropriate down to the device elements of the integrated circuit structure. An interconnection metallurgy is then formed over and through the openings in the glass to interconnect the device elements of the integrated circuit. The openings in the glass and silicon dioxide layers are made by conventional lithography and etching techniques. The deposition of the interconnection metal layer and delineation of the metal lines are done by conventional metal evaporation, lithography and etching techniques. The resulting structure includes emitter contact 42 which ohmically contacts the emitter region 16, base metal contact 44 which contacts the polycrystalline silicon contact 30, and collector metal contact 46 which directly contacts the reach-through region 18.
The surface planarity is such that several additional levels of metallurgy with insulator therebetween can be made over this structure to allow further interconnection of the highly complex integrated circuit structure in the monocrystalline silicon body.
A second embodiment of the invention may be understood with reference to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7. FIG. 5 illustrates a double polycrystalline silicon dynamic random access memory cell structure. The cell structure is isolated from other such structures by recessed oxide isolation 50 having a channel stop region 52 thereunder. A silicon dioxide layer 54 is located on the P- substrate 56. The first polycrystalline silicon layer 58 acts as an electrode for the capacitor of the dynamic memory cell. The second polycrystalline silicon layer 60 is the gate electrode for the memory cell. Prior to the formation of the second polycrystalline silicon layer 60 a silicon dioxide layer 62 is thermally grown over the first polycrystalline layer 58. Similarly, a silicon dioxide layer 64 is grown over the second polycrystalline layer 60. The N+ source region 66 is located adjacent to the gate of the memory cell. As can be readily seen the structure is non-planar and the surface is irregular at the point at which the interconnection metallurgy is to be formed.
The structure is planarized by the deposition of a glass material 70 according to the same procedures as described in regard to the first embodiment. The heating and planarization steps result in the planarized structure shown in FIG. 6. Openings are made by standard etching techniques through the glass down to the device elements of the random access memory integrated circuit. The interconnection metallurgy is formed over and through the openings in the glass material to interconnect the device elements of the integrated circuit as was described in regard to the earlier embodiment. FIG. 7 shows the result of this process wherein the source contact is 72, the gate contact is 74 and the capacitor contact is 76. Other levels of metallurgy can now be applied over the surface with the proper dielectric insulation used between the first metal structure and any succeeding metal interconnection structures.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Will property taxes in Dothan increase?
The Dothan City Commission is expected to vote to pass the issue to the state legislature Tuesday.
The vote will not make the action law, but it could move the decision a step closer to a vote by residents.
If the measure passes in the city, it must next be approved by the Alabama State Legislature.
"Tomorrow we're voting to pass on to the state to allow a vote by the people for funding for our schools, and this was asked for by our elected school board, and they asked us to move this resolution forward," Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz.
No specifics have been released on when an election would take place if the measure is passed.
The Dothan City Commission meets at 10 a.m. in the Dothan Civic Center.

Looks nice, gotta go get mine re powder-coated like that.
Don't see any pics
Got it you rock!!! You should share that info here for others who might want to do it.
I thought about that, but that would pretty much mean selling to someone I could deliver to (nearby) with the cost to ship...HOW IN THE WORLD do y'all ship so cheaply?
Wish there was a way to upgrade to the new stands :(
I guess that's the price I pay for ordering early. That's really awesome looking.
Went looking and skimmed right past this 3 times lol.
Sorry to hijack the thread, Meckie want me to start a new one so EVERYONE can see the pictures? Or will you do that?
11 foot (132") Hennesy Hex Tarp, which I thought would be fine, but seems to be JUST too long to use the hooks well
I was more trying to figure out how to get the ends tied out without going to one side or the other...the tarp is too long to use the hooks like my hammock is using, so I have to stake it down.
trying to figure out the best way to get my Hennessy Hex to set up ABOVE the stand, but it keeps slipping to one side or the other. Would prefer to not be under the stand as it is a little too long,...
I am reserving today, my site will be used by me on Friday night and by some friends on Saturday night. I will be leaving sometime Saturday morning and they will be coming in later that evening,...
Thought it would be a great idea to have a thread listing some of the unique mods people have had done to their Dream Hammocks.
That is awesome, can't wait to get them in :D
Hmm, now I want to know this as we have our UQs deployed.
Can you let me know if our order is in this first production run?
You are incorrect, there will be at least 2 of them in Texas before long...mine :)
Crap, now I want to get another overcover....I decide nightly which way I want to lay.
It's ok, I'm not too worried about it, would just be cool to have before our next campout. Or to try out in the yard whenever :D
I'm thinking we can use them and put them to the side of the room when not in use...thanks a lot!
:edit: Also, really 3-4 weeks for shipping, dang would love to have them sooner, oh well, I guess...
What is the full length of this stand? Wondering if we would have room for it inside. I already ordered some to use for car camping, but would like to have them serve dual purpose.
I'll take the 3XL Puffer Jacket
Won't be able to make this anymore, memorial service for a family friend in Dallas.
Thanks, that what I was forgetting.
What about sewing through both layers to make the button hole? would that work as well?
I was referring to the holes shown here where they access the suspension of the UQ to hook onto the pack hooks:
Just a clarification, I already have the pack hooks on my DH, but wanted to know if adding Grosgrain loops on the quilt would work the same as cutting through to the suspension line and hooking that...
I bought some second hand UQs from EE, and want to do a Pack Hook Mod similar to what UGQ offers. Has anyone tried this on their own? Would just adding a grosgrain loop have the same effect?
I know, just been looking for an excuse to get out...
Just noticed after I posted the other was a dupe, I was gonna say I could check it out Sunday night, but we're waiting on a paycheck before I can do ANYTHING.
Agreed, can't do Easter Weekend. Would love to do 2 weeks later myself (beginning of Spring break)
Wish I'd seen this as well...I'll just have to trust that it's something I'll want when we make our own hammocks.
I get this, but it would be nice to have maybe a thread on here with the different addons people have come up with.
So, with everything you are adding, is it possible to send in our hammocks to get stuff added to them?
At only 9'6" it's kinda short for me.
We are potentially interested in this, keeping an eye on this thread.
We are a tentative yes. My only concern is my TQ configuration...currently I'm using an old Sleeping Bag...which should be fine. I'm not sure what the temp rating is.
Turns out we won't be able to make it after all. Since it is too late for us to get a refund of our first night, would anyone be interested in taking our spot and paying for that first night? Not...
We will be leaving from the Austin area the afternoon/evening of the 6th, and could possibly have room for you, you would be riding in the backseat with our dogs possibly (haven't decided if we are...
We will be there Thursday (leaving right after school gets out from Austin)
That makes more sense then.
I'll have to try this out, I don't have a G-Clip though :(
Update on this, we ended up purchasing the: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AXN3628/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hammock and Stand combo. 2 of them actually.
Should get here on...
PIF forums do not show up in mobile, I can only assume it is to give a level playing field against those who are ALWAYS checking their phones, but then the same argument could be made for people who...
Update: Now looking for just 1 TQ (would love one in Blue, but would also take about anything)
Still looking for 2 UQs and 1 TQ (picking up gidgetgirl's TQ in their Green 15D, if anyone has one to match would be even better)
Looking for some sets of UQs and TQs for my wife and I, and wanted to see if anyone had some of these they wanted to get rid of. Let me know.
Those look great.
Just got the official word that my day off has been approved for the 7th so I can get out there a day early!!! I'm ready, now to find that substitute for my class.
Trip went great, never found anywhere to hang, but really enjoyed being there.

Upload speed?
Has anyone seen any indication of a proposed minimum upload speed? I guess that since the thrust of this is presumably to increase our ability to consume paid for content, upload speed isn't going to be a big priority.

"The authorities are now pondering what charges the gun owner may face."
Really! Do I deduce that the USA has now reached such an extreme level of loonyness that discharging a firearm in a crowded building and injuring someone might not actually be a crime?
I simply can't see the point of fining public bodies. The £180k has simply gone round in a circle inside government. The money isn't going to be retrieved by docking the pay of those responsible is it! Either those attending the clinic now get a lower quality service or the central NHS just tops the money back up again.
I guess it's slightly embarrassing for the immediate career prospects of those involved, but I am sure it will soon all be forgotten. Where I work in government, if you let secret stuff out by being a complete cretin you lose your job and possibly get a trip to the slammer. Somehow that doesn't seem to apply in cases like this, I wonder why. Could it be that the secrets I am careful about belong to HMG whilst the ones spread around here (vis HIV status) belong to citizens?
Firstly, most modern systems don't use triangulation, but time difference of arrival, as I think I mentioned.
I agree that you may need quite a few stations to track signals on the ground depending on how large an area you want to cover, but for tracking the actual drones the problem is a lot easier since we are only interested in the skies on the approach and departure flight path. Clearly, we can construct antennas that point in that direction and ignore most of the interfering signals that don't interest us.
I am not convinced by your interference argument. Consider the drone. It is clearly flying at a reasonable altitude in order to strike an approaching aircraft. If it can distinguish its own control transmitter from the hundreds of other 2.4GHz sources visible from the air then so, presumably, can our tracking system.
I don't believe that there are any mobile phone frequency bands around 2.4GHz and your complaint seems to be based on the rather quaint idea that mobile phone locations aren't already tracked. As for Bluetooth, this does sound like it would be too low power to be usefully tracked.
So, in summary I don't agree that this is not a bright idea.
In related news, a colleague has pointed out to me the following system which seems to take the special to purpose radar approach: http://www.blighter.com/products/blighter-auds-anti-uav-defence-system.html
Agreed. I should of course have written "developed".
The thing with writing long comments at work is that time for reflection and review is rather limited!
Clearly, in addition to serious jail time for anyone doing this (what's the betting that even if caught they'll get a short suspended sentence) we clearly need better schemes for detecting drones in prohibited areas. And yes, this sort of thing is in my line of work.
Idea 1) Already mentioned by others is the idea of triangulating the locations of transmitters. For locating the drone (and thus warning pilots) this is probably not too difficult. Technology like VERA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VERA_passive_sensor) which relies on time difference of arrival could do this easily. A much simpler system than VERA would work fine since the range needed is limited and only a few frequencies need to be covered. Detecting the ground transmitters is a bit more challenging since the RF path is more obscured and of course you will get a lot of false positives but I thnk that a system, perhaps installed on current mobile phone masts would be possible. Of course, in both cases radio silence could be adopted with the drone operating automatically, but people who do this are by definition morons and therefore usually not clever enough to work that out.
Idea 2) Dedicated radar - Presumably, these drones are not currently showing up on airfield radars because (a) their radar cross section is too small and (b) their speed is too low and therefore the radar's Doppler filter removes them as clutter. But, in my professional opinion a suitable radar could be invented. It only needs to search a limited amount of space where aircraft are taking off and landing and it could use the no doubt very distinctive Doppler shift from the props as a discriminant so it doesn't keep detecting birds (like the counter helicopter mode on some military radars),
I may not have understood correctly, but when I read the paper about Planet 9 and Cassini it seemed to say:
1) That perturbations in the orbits of the planets limited the possible locations where Planet 9 could be in its orbit (even assuming that it exists).
2) That the orbital models being used relied on the motion of all the planets and numerous asteroids going back several decades.
3) That slight changes in the orbit of Saturn were a particularly relevant part of the data set and that Cassini was simply a handy way (via radio ranging) of finding out exactly where Saturn was.
The caption to the photo at the bottom doesn't seem quite right. The computer in the picture looks to me like an Acorn Atom. Was this Acorn's first 'kids' computer? Well, maybe. I was a kid and I certainly had one (and spent hours explaining to my ZX81 owning school friends that a real keyboard was actually rather important).
Most MP3 patents have expired and the few that remain will do so by the end of 2017.
Can you explain exactly where you saw the regulation about reducing the power of kettles. An actual link would be useful. Last time (it was about a year ago) there was an EU study into proposed energy saving measures I took the trouble to look at the bit about kettles. It proposed two solutions:
1) Better insulation.
2) Far more effective 'auto switch off when it boils' mechanism that work promptly when the kettle is new and don't get steadily less effective as it ages.
Both struck me as being quite sensible. Of course, you are going to ask me for a link to the study I am referencing and that could take a while to find.
Whilst I agree that there is a considerable amount of politically driven voting, I have yet to be convinced that it has a big effect on the answer. The last ten contests have been won by nine different countries (Sweden won twice) although with also one win each for Finland, Norway and Denmark it does appear that Scandinavia does rather well, but OTOH none of the Scandinavian countries have been runner up in the last ten years and if they had an advantage you would expect them to do well in second place as well.
Also, if it was true that there is a big dislike for Russia throughout Europe, they wouldn't have won once and come second three times in this period.
I find myself of the view that the effect of political voting isn't enough to produce a serious distortion in the results and this has been helped in recent years by the semi-finals. After all, if your political buddies don't get through to the final then you can't vote for them and have to give your douze points to someone else.
One final thought. There are about 40 entrant counties each year, so if the mechanism was completely fair the UK would expect to win once in every 40 years!
If Eurovision has rules forbidding songs with an overt political agenda then is should enforce them equally on all contesting nations irrespective of how popular or otherwise the political agenda in question is.
The resulting contest will, as always, consist entirely of bland drivel, but surely that is what Eurovision viewers want and expect.
Is this an issue in this case? Surely TLS execution time isn't a limiting factor in most internet transactions? Even if it ran at a fraction of the current speed, would that be a problem for most modern computers? Hmm, perhaps an issue at the server end. Presumably this scheme can't be extended into hardware crypto accelerators?
Also, forgive my ignorance, but I thought that TLS was primarily used to achieve a secure key exchange for a traditional cipher which is then used to exchange the actual data. I get the impressions that this work isn't fiddling with the actual cipher code which will remain just as fast and/or buggy as now but I am ready to be corrected on this point.
Having waded through quite a bit of the report, three paragraphs in particular seem pertinent to the encryption debate:
13.11 ...There may be all sorts of reasons – not least, secure encryption – why it is not physically possible to intercept a particular communication, or track a particular individual. But the power to do so needs to exist, even if it is only usable in cases where skill or trickery can provide a way around the obstacle. ...
13.12 ... Few now contend for a master key to all communications held by the state, for a requirement to hold data locally in unencrypted form, or for a guaranteed facility to insert back doors into any telecommunications system. Such tools threaten the integrity of our communications and of the internet itself. Far preferable, on any view, is a law-based system in which encryption keys are handed over (by service providers or by the users themselves) only after properly authorised requests.
13.13 ...there is a compelling public interest in being able to penetrate any channel of communication, however partially or sporadically. ... Hence the argument for permitting ingenious or intrusive techniques (such as bulk data analysis or Computer Network Exploitation) which may go some way towards enabling otherwise insuperable obstacles to be circumvented
So, he seems to be saying that encryption should not be legislated against (as now), laws should exist to force people to hand over keys (as now, but step forward perfect forward secrecy) and GCHQ should be allowed to try to break encryption (again, presumably as now).
Laws forcing password hand over remain troubling, particularly for those of us getting older and more forgetful, but they have two big flaws from GCHQ's point of view; (a) they are expensive to apply so can't be done on a massive scale and (b) the suspect then knows for certain that they are being investigated. Otherwise, it remains that case that we can try to make our systems more secure and GCHQ can expend effort and money trying to break in - Game On!
Of course, this is all just a report with no legal powers from a lawyer who can be replaced if he starts saying too many sensible things. It remains to be seen if May and Cameron take any notice of it!
Hmm, perhaps I am missing something here, but surely ICBMs only fly high for part of their journey. Surely, they have to come down to lower altitudes at the end of their flight, otherwise, they won't do anything useful? Now, I don't doubt that shooting down ICBMs is more difficult, but perhaps it is because they go faster? After all, if they go higher up and they had a bigger rocket to start with then it seems logical that they will be going faster by the time they get near the ground.
This all reminds me of an article by George Orwell in which he mocks pre-WW2 newspaper articles explaining that there is no threat from German bombers because anti-aircraft defences would force them to fly too high. The idea presumably being that if you drop a bomb from high enough then it won't reach the ground :-)
So far as I can see, all the judge is saying is that it is OK for the legal system to be unjust, so long as that is good for business.
Surely it has been painfully obvious for years that this is their opinion, its just that judges and politicians don't normally come right out and say so.
1) There is a great deal of talk from Estonians about how Russians are invaders. That was certainly the case many years ago, but most Russians living their now were born there and in many cases so were their parents. I accept that many believe that people should be punished for the actions of their parents, grandparents etc. I am not one of them.
2) Most of the trouble in Tallinn has been caused by general purpose hooligans. The sort of people who in the UK would be rioting because their football team lost.
3) It is perhaps instructive to compare Estonia with Lithuania. They both have very similar 20th century histories, but everyone who was a permanent resident on the day that Lithuania gained independence became a citizen. The same is not true in Estonia where there are still a great number of stateless Russians.
4) Estonia gained independence in 1991, therefore, any Russian younger than their mid-thirties can't regret that they no longer run the country, since they never did.
5) Is Amnesty International prejudiced against Estonians? I don't know, but they certainly have plenty to say about their language laws (http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGEUR510012007?open&of=ENG-EST). In my non-legal opinion, Estonia is going to end up in front of the EU for breaching EU laws designed to protect linguistic minorities.
6) Very little known fact: Consider my wife's grandmother. She lives in Russia in the same cottage she was born in and speaks only Russian. She sounds like the sort of person that the Estonians would want nothing to do with doesn't she? But, between the two world wars, the bit of Russia where she lives was part of the first Estonian Republic. As a result of this, the Estonian government will give citizenship to her and any of her decedents. My wife's cousin doesn't speak a word of Estonian and apart from 2 short holidays has never set foot in the place, but because of her grandmother she now has an Estonian and thus EU passport. Meanwhile, many Russians who were born in Tallinn and have lived there all their lives, but also don't speak Estonian remain stateless. This seems a little inconsistent to me.

longchamp neiman marcusPlease consider that the english version is still under construction and does not contain all available products. Additionally, not only does this tool address flat sheets of paper traditionally used in offset printing applications but also handles the paper needs for three-dimensional bags, folding box and setup box paper requirement needs as well. When I was in culinary school I remember having to create about 100 of these paper pastry bags and they all had to hold water. The easiest way to begin tea bag folding is the basic kite fold.?Crystal Ball,longchamp boxford travel bagTrader Joe's is one of my favorite grocery stores - yummy foods, happy people, and those cool looking paper bags! It was a perfect foldaway trip in every respect: I could ride my big bike to Vauxhall, take the over-ground train to Kew Bridge, walk to the factory, pick up the bike, then cycle back to the station, put it on the train, and then at the other end - bliss of bliss - get out the Brompton bag I'd bought years ago in an excess of uber-nerdishness, put the foldaway bike in it, sling it over my shoulder, and cycle home on the big bike.longchamp wristlet

Damn it.
Don't drop off the cliff guys, it's coming back up, 1.20 now.
I still say it will go below $1.00.
no you probably could not have, just like someone on here tried to market sell on 19th when opened at 1.70 range and took over 5 minutes to fill and he got 1.21 sell price.
That was me. Here is what Charles Schwab said. "I received the following reply from our Trade Support Group regarding your recent trade:
We contacted the market maker to quality check order; market maker said there were 600,000 being sold at market open, which caused the drop in price, and therefore the lower fill. The price the client received was a good fill."

Not really. They have had no foreign sales to date nor in fact to anyone outside of BARDA. If Israel was concerned they would have ordered ST-246 a long time ago IMHO. If you see Siga getting a foreign order of size from anyone....the good or the bad guys...I might change my mind.
Maybe Perelman is routing sales covertly through his hyped up eastside monkey bar. They can't be surviving on the food alone.

Our Story
Once upon a time two shopping-obsessed sisters with a huge sense of adventure were born. Inspired by their travels around the world and British style, bombay Duck was created in 1993. Designed in london, the unmistakable Bombay Duck style mixes playful patterns, bright colours, detailed finishing, and an element of surprise. Bombay Duck is now a global brand but still very much a sisterly business.
Established on a fabulous day, London 1993

Driving from Columbus, OH I was pretty tired by the time I arrived. As I put my truck into park and glanced at my surroundings I noticed 3 different windows with eyeballs poking out from behind the curtains...trying to remain unseen! LOL Then I took a closer look and realized that I had pulled into the parking lot of hell! Not only were there the three 'peepers' nervously peeking out their curtians...but also what appeared to be 2 drugged out people pacing back and forth on either end of the side-walk watching me ! igiggled, threw the truck in reverse and found my way to the "Hawthorn Suites" on Central Park! I got out of my truck just fine and have been very comfortable and cozy evey since ;)

Samsonite has been making top-quality luggage bags and suitcases for decades; however even though the Samsonite name may have been around for years, that hasn't stopped it from embracing the age of technology, and the Samsonite online store offers the same range of great products (and often quite a few more) that you'll find in any high-street Samsonite store. One of the reasons that Samsonite has stood the test of time is that its products stand the test of time; hardy, durable, reliable, and strong, Samsonite luggage can easily last you a lifetime, and with excellent warranties on all Samsonite products, its easy to see why Samsonite has remained as popular as it has. There are, of course, many other stores where you can buy bags and luggage, but if you want stylish luggage, at affordable prices, that you know won't let you down, and which you could likely still be using in twenty years time, then there are few better brands than Samsonite.

SAN over IP, part I: 2001-The year of SAN virtualization
Discusses SAN over IP storage relate to budding virtualization strategies.
This Article Covers
Storage Network Virtualization
By Linda Gail Christie
In many organizations, storage is growing at 100% per year. "Traditional methods for adding storage (rolling out a new general-purpose NT or Unix server with an attached storage array, installing a stand-alone RAID or JBOD array, etc.) provide expensive, short-term solutions to the storage problem," said Simon Fok, president & CEO of NetConvergence, an IP storage company. "However, deploying IP-based NAS technology further decentralizes the storage infrastructure and adds to the difficulty and expense of managing storage--which is now approaching $12 per megabyte per year."
Free download: A complete guide to storage for virtual environments
Many storage admins consider virtual servers for a boost in agility – which is essential when supporting remote offices, new business applications, and unbridled data growth. But, if you're thinking of approaching your virtual environments with the same old storage strategy as your physical servers, then you're setting yourself up for a series of performance and capacity issues down the road. Download this invaluable guide, featuring expert tips and advice to help you architect the best storage management strategy for virtual environments.

According to many SAN proponents, Fibre Channel-based SANs offer a superior means to address this growth in terms of capacity, speed, availability and centralized management. However, proponents of the IP approach, point out that Fibre Channel requires administrators to deploy and manage an entirely separate and expensive network that handles "block data" over a maximum distance of 60 miles (100 kilometers). "Customers want the ability to build seamless, interoperable networks from one data center to another," said Randy Fardal, VP of Marketing for Nishan Systems, an IP storage networking provider. "Using native IP and Gigabit Ethernet to integrate SAN into the enterprise network will reduce administrative headaches and allow data to be stored, accessed, and managed from anywhere across the wide area network using familiar storage-management technology."
"IP networks are becoming the preferred data connection and the most cost effective communications alternative on the planet," said Brian Larsen, Director of product management for CNT, a storage solutions provider. "Yet, IP's 'packet data' approach has been inadequate to handle the quality of service, the data security needs, or the bandwidth on demand needs of storage applications. Now, we've developed the software and equipment that can integrate Fibre Channel SANs with IP and preserve the integrity of data traveling to distant locations. [This software and equipment] can talk intelligently at the network layer to do data flow, management, and recovery."
