GOODYEAR, Ariz. — If Dusty Baker has his way, we'll know Aroldis Chapman's role shortly. "I'd like to decide soon and get my team together," Baker said. "I don't like having guys in the middle. That's a bad situation when you're in the middle of anything. An unknown. Then everybody else is in an unknown situation. That's unfair to him or us — the situation he's been put in. He was in that same situation last year.
Baker Wants a Decision on Chapman Soon

During his first reign at the helm of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez promised that he would bring a galaxy of stars to Los Blancos. He declared that the Satiago Bernabéu would become the greatest stage in world sports, featuring the best players in the entire world.
In order to accomplish this seemingly impossible feat, he promised to bring one new mega-star to Madrid every offseason that he was in control of, regardless of how the team fared during the previous campaign.
Astoundingly, this strategy was incredibly successful for Real Madrid—at the beginning at least.
He brought Luís Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham to the club in successive years; during those campaigns he captured two La Liga titles and won the Champions League.
The strategy stalled after Beckham joined the club, however, as Real Madrid seemed to transform more into a business than a football club—Los Vikingos were raking in the money, but not the trophies. It would take another four years, and a new president for Madrid to win another competition (2007).
In 2009, Florentino, in his second stint as president, ushered in an era of neo-galácticos. He signed Kaká, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo in quick succession, and promised a return to European glory. While the latter has not yet materialized, he took a huge stride forward this summer with his newest Galálctico: Italian treble-winning coach "The Special One," José Mourinho.
Florentino is a showman. No matter what happens this season (things are currently going well), he will certainly try to make at least one enthusiasm-inducing transfer. This list will break down the most likely candidates to become this summer's newest Galactico.
It's important to note, though, that it is very possible that Florentino will try to tighten the belt at least a little—this could mean trading or selling some under-performing players. I won't address which players might be sold, but suffice it to say that there will be some movement out of Madrid.
It's also important to remember that this team might not need a significant makeover—we will almost certainly not be getting a new coach, and Mourinho has stated that he likes what he has for the most part.

ALLENDALE, MI – Grand Valley State will go with Heath Parling at quarterback.
The Lakers made the announcement Sunday, Sept. 1, that Parling, who is coming off an ACL injury to his right knee, would start the opener Sept. 7 against Azusa Pacific.
He has been competing against Isiah Grimes, also a junior, who took over after Parling went down last season.
Parling was the starting quarterback in 2011 and 2012 and was impressive.
"It just came down to command of the offense and a great understanding of situational football," coach Matt Mitchell said.
The coach said the decision was made late Saturday with both of the quarterbacks present. Offensive coordinator Tim Morrison and quarterback coach Jack Ginn also attended the meeting.
The Lakers' coaching staff originally wanted to make the decision Saturday morning but waited following a minor "setback" to one of the candidates. Mitchell said that was Parling, who had some muscle spasms in the back of his right shoulder.
"It's fine," Mitchell said. "But we wanted to be certain before we went further."
As a sophomore, Parling threw 34 touchdowns and led the nation in pass efficiency rating (180.3). Last season, he had six touchdowns and completed 64 percent of his passes without an interception before he injured his knee in the second quarter of the third game, at Tiffin.
Parling, who underwent ACL surgery in early October, was at each spring practice in April but did not participate and was not in uniform. One consolation to the injury was he received a medical redshirt and will have two seasons of eligibility.
The condition of Parling's knee was not as issue, Mitchell said.
"Not at all," he said. "The knee's great. He was flush, scrambled, mobile and no indecision and no issues."
Grimes, who was impressive last season with 22 touchdowns and averaged 221 yards a game, could still some playing time, Mitchell said.
"He was a little bit disappointed, naturally, but understanding as well," Mitchell said. "I don't want to make promises because you never know how these things go, but as opportunities arise, he would get playing time."

The delightful musical, Toy Camp, will find audience members tapping their toes again to a variety of fun songs sung by comical playtime characters. First produced by Summer Stages in 1999, a new generation of young, talented New Orleanians will bring these toys to vivid life.
Toy Camp opens Friday, June 15th and runs through Sunday, July 1st. Performances will take place at the NORD Ty Tracy Theatre, located on the first floor of Gallier Hall, 545 St. Charles Ave. Performances run Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 1:00 p.m., and Sundays at 3:00 p.m.
Enter into the world of make-believe, a place where toys learn to be good toys... at Toy Camp. Follow the trials and triumphs of Ted E. Bear, Princess Ann, Glow Toy and others as they attend Toy Camp to (hopefully) graduate, so they can earn their price tags and be sold in toy stores. Failing to graduate from Toy Camp means certain doom at the Toy Dump! During their week at camp, the toys learn lessons in paying attention and practicing, as well as overcoming fears and weaknesses. With subtle morals about perseverance and self-confidence, each toy realizes it is good at something. This light-hearted show includes the love ballad "I Go To Pieces" (sung by puzzle pieces Jig and Saw), Cool Cat's hip rap song, "Practice Makes Purr-fect" and "Things Are Ruff All Over, Rover," sung by a Presley-esque hound dog.
Toy Camp, with music and lyrics by Paul Collette and Gary Fritzen, has an all kid-cast that ranges from ages 8 through 12. The show is directed by Dennis Monn, with vocal direction by Julie Condy, costumes by Charlotte Lang, stage design by Constantinos Kritikos and lighting design by Mark Montabano. Toy Camp also features a live jazz band with Meghan Schwarz on keyboard, Gene Black on drums, and Curtis Pierre, on percussion.
Performances at the NORD Ty Tracy Theater, in partnership with the City of New Orleans Recreation Department, 1st floor of Gallier Hall, located at 545 St. Charles Ave. (Enter via Lafayette Street entrance). Shows are Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at noon, and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $15, general admission. Order your tickets online at www.crescentcitylights.org or by calling 504-598-3800.

Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire will mark the start of the second half of the season, and the first half has been mostly fun -- although I'm guessing the thousands of fans who were stuck in traffic at Kentucky last Saturday would disagree.
But the 2011 season already has produced three first-time winners, including Trevor Bayne's shocker in the Daytona 500. Jimmie Johnson pulled out one of the greatest finishes in the sport's history at Talladega. Rivalries have flourished in the era of 'Boys Have At It.'
What's in store for the next 18 races?
Let's go.
Here are five predictions for the season's second half.
1. Who has the best shot to dethrone five-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson?
Points leader Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick each have had moments of dominance so far.
Busch and Harvick are tied for first in wins with three, and Edwards has led the standings most of the way before being overtaken two weeks ago.
The driver most likely, though, is Jeff Gordon.
Gordon has been inconsistent -- five times he has failed to crack the top 20. But he does have two wins, and he and new crew chief Alan Gustafson appear to be progressing nicely. Gordon was 16th in points after the season's ninth race, but he has worked his way up to seventh in the standings.
Besides, Harvick, Edwards and Busch have yet to prove they can win a Cup championship. Gordon has won four.
2. Carl Edwards will sign back up with Roush-Fenway Racing
Edwards is the most prized free agent of the 2011 field, and most expected he and car owner Jack Roush would have announced a deal by now. But I don't blame Edwards for playing the field.
True, he has won 19 races with Roush since 2005, but he has won just three times since the start of the 2009 season. Look for Edwards to be back in the No. 99 car next year, though. Where is he going to go? Hendrick isn't going to dump Dale Earnhardt Jr. for Edwards. Earnhardt sells too many T-shirts.
Sorry, Carl, the best rides with the top teams already are taken.
3. Will Dale Earnhardt Jr. make the Chase?
It appeared to be a lock a month ago, but over the past four races, Earnhardt has slipped from third to eighth in points. Do you really think Earnhardt is going to win two or three of the next eight races to secure a Wild Card berth in the Chase? Me either.
So, Earnhardt is going to have to finish in the top 10. I say he can do it. There are tracks coming up where he has had success, including Richmond, Atlanta, Bristol and Michigan, which should help him stay in the top 10.
4. Will NASCAR continue to tinker with the points standings?
We are going to have to wait and see how the second half plays out, but it appears NASCAR officials finally have found something that works. The best part is the two wild card invitations, which will be given to the two drivers from 11th to 20th in points with the most wins.
We are going to see desperate drivers taking some pretty wild gambles the next eight races to earn a Chase berth.
That's the way it should be, too. Who wants to watch drivers race for points?
5. Who will be NASCAR's next first-time winner?
Trevor Bayne, David Ragan and Regan Smith won their first races, but don't look for any other newcomers, though.
Paul Menard would be the safest bet, but if his Richard Childress Racing teammates Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton haven't been to Victory Lane, Menard isn't getting there any time soon, either.
Eighteen races up, 18 to go. The fun has just begun.

Hi I'm Eric K. Johnson
About Me
My grandpa was a renaissance man. As a child I was amazed and impressed that he could answer any question on any subject. I wanted to know all the answers too, so I don't know if I am curious because I want knowledge or whether I soak up information because I am curious. Regardless, this life is fascinating, warts and all. My main interests are reading and looking at beautiful cars. I became a divorce lawyer because I want to ensure people are treated fairly in divorce. Fairness and the Golden Rule drive me. Wanting what's right is easier said than done. I struggle with getting along with others who disagree with me.
Why I am a Mormon
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons) knows who Our Father and Jesus Christ are because they have revealed that knowledge to a living prophet. So it knows and teaches the purpose of life and how to live a life that is truly worthwhile and happy. Once I understood and believed that, I knew the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and His church to be true. I have to work at being a committed and humble disciple to remember this, but that is its own reward. I read recently, "Christians are supposed to live by a list of rules. Few are willing to yield that much control over their lives to anyone. Most do not like many of the rules. In fact, honest Christians will admit that they do not like some of them either." That's true, but that's the test of faith defined. I am a Mormon because I choose to surrender my will to God's, and I know this is what He wants all of his children to do so that they can be like him and his Son. I do not have all the answers, and I don't expect I ever will, but the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ leads me to truth and right, even when that truth isn't what I expected or necessarily wanted. It's liberating.
Personal Stories
How has attending Church services helped you?
We have bodies, we have souls. Each needs special care. We need to eat good food, get sufficient sleep, bathe, exercise, and stay warm to keep our bodies healthy and well. My spirit needs nourishment and care too. My spirit needs to be with other spirits who lift each other. Our spirits need a time for rest and meditation. Everyone needs spiritual care, but few know that, and many who know that don't know where to get spiritual care. Going to church, along with personal prayer, learning the scriptures, and serving those in need, helps feed and care for my soul. A healthy body and healthy spirit makes my life far more bearable and more peaceful in bad times and happier in good times.
In what ways have your prayers been answered?
It appears to me that you cannot have faith in that which you don't believe or in which you are unwilling to believe. This insight has been an answer to a question I had made (and continue to make) in my prayers for years.
How I live my faith
Do what is right and let the consequence follow. Although I am a divorce lawyer, divorce breaks my heart. Families are precious, precious things. So if there's a silver lining to what I do, it's that it reminds me to value my family and obedience to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My mother said and lived by "family first," and she's right. Having a family can sometimes be a financial and emotional struggle, but so is anything of real worth. If parents don't teach their children what they need to know and be, someone else will be happy to fill that void. So my wife and I try to be a good example and teach our children to live the gospel because we love them and want them to be good and to be happy people.

Sens Mary Landrieu, D-La. and Harry Reid, D-Nev., the Senate Democratic leader, Saturday asked President Bush to take additional steps, using the powers given the executive branch during emergencies, to help hurricane victims. Here's their letter:
Dear Mr. President:
"In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst natural disasters in our nation's history, it is critical that all Americans come
together to address the emergency needs of millions of our fellow citizens. We want to thank you for your efforts since the hurricane hit, and to express our strong interest in working cooperatively with you in the days ahead on additional measures we believe are needed to address this crisis. At the same time, we are concerned about the serious problems and chaos that have marked the Federal government's initial response to date. We believe it is essential that you fully use the significant legal authority you possess under current law to better respond to the absolutely critical needs of victims who are undergoing unspeakable hardships.
As you know, beyond the thousands who apparently have lost their lives, countless numbers of others have lost their homes and possessions, and now are suffering with nowhere to live, few, if any, resources, and nowhere to turn. These increasingly desperate people are struggling to find food and water and to ensure their survival. It is absolutely critical that the Federal government immediately do everything in its power to meet their
needs and minimize unnecessary suffering as this crisis continues.
We know that thousands of dedicated federal workers and many others are doing all they can to address this crisis, often in the face of enormous logistical problems that are an inevitable consequence of such a disaster. Yet we are concerned that rescue and recovery efforts appear to remain chaotic and that many victims remain hungry and without adequate shelter nearly a week after the hurricane struck. Clearly, strong personal
leadership from you is essential if we are to get this effort on track.
Fortunately, as you know, the Stafford Act gives you broad legal authority to address the needs of Katrina's victims. Under that law, for example, the Administration can provide cash benefits to individuals who have been stranded without financial resources. Yet we have heard reports that some victims who have contacted the Federal Emergency Management Agency have been told that FEMA is not accepting applications for financial assistance. This is deeply troubling, and we urge you to address it immediately. Only the
federal government can adequately address the basic needs of our fellow Americans suffering from this disaster and they deserve a better response from their government.
Current law also gives the President broad authority to use Federal facilities in an emergency in order to provide housing and food for those in need. We urge you to use your existing authority to ensure that all victims have at least enough food to survive, and to immediately identify military bases and other federal facilities that can house these victims on a temporary basis.
Current law also grants the President broad authority to provide transportation assistance in a disaster. Yet many of those displaced from New Orleans and other Gulf Coast regions have no ability to relocate to other areas where they may have family and friends available. Providing such transportation assistance also should be a priority.
Finally, we urge you to join with us to ensure that our nation makes a strong and absolute commitment to rebuilding New Orleans. The City of New Orleans is a national treasure with a special atmosphere and a unique culture that could never be replaced. It is unthinkable that some in Washington have suggested that the city, in effect, be abandoned. We urge you to speak out in strong opposition to such defeatism and to make clear to all the people of New Orleans that we will never, ever abandon them or their remarkable city."

Time to start speculating about who the new Oregon basketball coach will be. Mike wonders if finding and keeping a good one could prove problematic.
"Here's just a few samplings of the trouble the University of Oregon will have in trying to hire a big time coach. Almost any successful bb coach is making over 2 million per plus incentives with huge buyouts. The buyouts are sure to be huge. When you demand so much from a coach, then the risk for his future goes up also. Thus you better be able to pay for the risk if he fails.
Second, Coach Kelly wouldn't be making as much as a top tier basketball coach, and yet his football program earns much more money than basketball. Not only that, he has much more responsibility in trying to keep a huge number of athletes under control. Someone is going to have to address that, or its bye, bye coach Kelly.
I know there are young agressive coaches out there that might come to Eugene for much less, but many of them are one hit wonders. They show signs of greatness, but many coach in conferences that don't measure up to what use to be PAC 10 greatness. The PAC 10 is mediocre because of the ability of top echelon players to give it their all for one year and then go to the pros. What about the coach that brings in the 7 foot goon that requires 3 tutors to help him maintain his 2.0 required grade point average to stay on the team? Good coaches bring in good players, but will they stay?
It shouldn't be too much of a problem luring a top tier coach to Eugene, after all, the university of Oregon does have the new "Jock in the Box" plus the most important drawing card in the Matt Court arena. I'm thinking that the days of the ducks being able to keep their ledger in the black will soon be over. Guess we will never know until that first step in hiring someone who cares about academics, basketball, and developing young men into productive citizens. Holy cow! We just had him as our coach."

I've played chess since I was 12 and next month I'll be 79! At one time I could pay a fairly good game. Now a fast over the board game does not give me time to think out a position, still those are the games I enjoy the most. I can tolerate a few blunders for the excitement of seeing my opponent sweat across the table. I play much better online with lots of time to think but it's not the same! Still it's better than no chess.
A lot.
a lot
The Chess Club at my school is proving to me that chess is such a complex game. I used to think I was better than what I thought, but now, I realize I've got far less experience than what I thought I had... (gee this won't be confusing at all to read). Yes, chess can be discouraging at times. Depends on what mood you're in. But if you've got a longterm goal to practice more with helpful chess players, then what's to lose? (Other than many games lol)- experience wise, I mean.
It's up and down with me.
(Edit) but it's up right now.
My chess increased a LOT a LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT. After seeing uscl matches on chess.com live, I have become much stronger and mature. XXL,
Increased a lot. play more now when I have time for it
This may be biased because if you have liked chess more recently then you have in the past then you go to chess.com then you get bored then you go to the more tab then you click on surveys then you click on popular surveys then you say that you like chess recently then Chuck Norris realizes he is in the matrix!
increased alot..well not rlly, i guess
I am about 1800 in Uscf. i am 11 years old

Apply For
By the end of your junior year, you should
schedule a meeting with an Academic Advisor to review your degree evaluation
and begin discussing graduation. Although it may be a year away, the deadline
to submit your application for graduation is as important as the schedule for
your final exams.
Graduation application deadlines fall nine
months prior to the commencement ceremony. This time is crucial for the
Registrar's Office and the Academic Advising Center. Once you submit your
application to the Registrar's Office, your degree evaluation is reviewed and
an email is sent to you regarding your pending requirements. This gives you an
outline for your final year of coursework and allows you to review if all
departmental approved course substitutions have been processed.
For more information on the Graduation
Application Procedure, please visit the following link:
Regarding Graduation Requirements
Some degrees at UTB have specific requirements
for graduation, such as internships, exams or department approved courses. Make
sure to submit your request for registration approval or any necessary
documents on time to assure that you will complete your degree requirements as
you have planned. If you are unsure if your degree has these requirements or
would like to know who to contact to submit documentation/requests to, meet
with an advisor to discuss your degree.
Your Graduation Date
If you have not completed all of the required
coursework or degree requirements by the semester that you have applied for,
you will need to change the graduation date on your application. This can be
done by contacting the Registrar's Office via phone, email or in person and
notify them of the change in your application. You should complete any updates
as soon as possible, to avoid additional fees or delays in your graduation.
It may occur that you choose to change the
degree that your are pursuing after you submit your application for graduation.
If this happens, you must meet with an academic advisor to process the
necessary changes to your student file and receive a signed copy of your new
degree evaluation. Once you have completed this, you will need to submit a copy
of your signed degree evaluation to the Registrar's Office so that they can
update your student record.

Chicago beats Detroit, 4-3 - 5-22-09
Patrick Sharp's goal with just under two minutes left in the first overtime gave the Blackhawks a 4-3 home win in Game 3 of the Western Conference final. Detroit still controls the series, 2-1.
Sharp (above, No. 10, with Martin Havlat, No. 24, Jonathan Toews, No. 19 and Dave Bolland) finished with two goals while teammate Dave Bolland recorded two assists. Chicago Goaltender Cristobal Huet relieved Nikolai Khabibulin at the start of the third period and stopped all six shots he saw to record the win.
Former Penguins forward Marian Hossa led Detroit with two assists. Fire Ray Shero.
The game was marred in the first period on a controversial hit by Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall that injured Chicago forward Martin Havlat. Kronwall received a five-minute interference penalty and a game misconduct. Havlat did not return to the game.
Chicago's win ensures the Stanley Cup final will begin June 5.

PEARL, Miss. — Southern Miss exploded for five runs in the first inning and cruised to a 6-1 win over Tulane Wednesday night in the first round of the Conference USA tournament at Trustmark Park.
Senior ace Todd McInnis (8-2) shut down the Green Wave with a complete-game four-hitter for the second-seeded Golden Eagles (39-15), who meet sixth-seeded Houston tonight at 7:30.
USM jumped on Tulane starter Conrad Flynn, who lasted only Ð of an inning and gave up six hits and all five runs.
B.A. Vollmuth opened the scoring with an RBI single, Isaac Rodriguez followed with a two-run single, and Adam Doleac and Jared Bales had RBI singles.
Southern Miss, which finished with 13 hits, added a run in the seventh when Rodriguez doubled and eventually scored on Mark Ellis' fielder's choice.

Role of broadcasting regulators discussed at UNESCO Headquarters
UNESCO, in cooperation with Albany Associates, organized the third Master Class in Broadcasting Regulation at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris last March. Representatives of broadcasting regulators and operators from Bhutan, Iraq, Kenya, Malawi, Montenegro, Nigeria, Rwanda, Thailand, and Trinidad and Tobago gathered to exchange experiences and to discuss broadcast regulation with a particular focus on the role of regulation for elections.
One of the participants, Kunrada Chaisorm, from the Office of the National Telecommunications Commission of Thailand, said, 'The class was great. I learned a lot from the discussions and the interaction with colleagues from many other countries".
The Master Class provided delegates with an in-depth analysis and knowledge of the following topics:

international broadcast regulation law and standards;

application of media rules during elections;

monitoring, compliance and enforcement; and

political advertisements.
It also examined new and emerging issues such as the use of social networking technologies and how new media tools can support election campaigns.
Opening remarks were presented by the Deputy Assistant Director-General for Communication and Information, Mogens Schmidt, and the Director of Albany Associates, Dieter Loraine. Many people turn first to their televisions or radios to learn about elections. Therefore election coverage in the media, and especially in the public media, involves some of the most complex rules of broadcast regulation. Mr Schmidt stressed that the public media have a general duty to inform about matters relevant to the elections. UNESCO's mandate in the field of public service broadcasting is to support and promote comprehensive action focusing on the role and functions of public service. It is particularly relevant to UNESCO's core mission - to promote the free flow of ideas through word and image.

NASCAR Wire Service
The right guy won the race—suggesting once again that there really is a sense of cosmic balance in the universe.
Carl Edwards was three laps away from a hard-earned victory in Sunday night's rain-delayed Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, but caution lights that appeared to have a mind of their own had other ideas.
After Edwards crossed the start/finish line to begin Lap 498, the bank of caution lights illuminated for no apparent reason. NASCAR officials said after the race that the flagman had brushed against an override switch in the closing laps.
What quickly became a full-course caution set up a potential green-white-checkered-flag finish. But Mother Nature intervened, soaking the track with a downpour that began before the race could be restarted, and Edwards took the checkered flag under yellow.
Mercifully, Edwards didn't have to sweat out a two-lap dash against two hungry drivers, each seeking his first career win. Ultimately, both race runner-up Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Edwards' teammate at Roush Fenway Racing, and third-place finisher Aric Almirola posted career-best results, though neither got a final shot at a breakthrough victory.
But that's as it should be. Gambling he could keep the lead on old tires, Edwards had driven away to a lead of more than two seconds over Stenhouse (also on old rubber) before the mysterious caution slowed the race.
Moments later, a deluge determined there would be no attempt at a green-white-checkered finish, Edwards had the win, and justice was served.
The wit and wisdom of @nascarcasm:
- The #23 of Alex Bowman caused an incident early when his car shed its battery in the middle of the track, sending streams of toilet-paper-like material over the track. Now needing batteries and toilet paper, Bowman probably has a trip to Walmart in his future.
- Sunday's race proved to be good double-duty practice for Kurt Busch. Between the race and traveling to and from motorcoach lot during rain delays, pretty certain he logged 1,100 total miles.
- Starting now, black cats consider it bad luck when Martin Truex Jr. crosses their path.
- If the two rain showers weren't enough proof that Mother Nature is angry at NASCAR, she also dropped the temperature to below freezing on Friday – after teams had purchased new cooling units for qualifying. WE GET IT – YOU LIKE FOOTBALL.

Roll and bounce

In this situation you can model ball''s movement using Newtons laws F=ma. Assuming that the only force acting is gravity, we have F=mg=ma. So on flat surfaces ball moves with constant speed and on slopes it (de)accelerates with a=g*sin(alpha) where alpha is slope''s angle. Now bouncing. Ball bounces when it rolls and then hits something, or falls (from a cliff) and then hits the ground. In the first case just change the directon of speed.
The second case: falling ball. You have to apply rule that angle of refraction equals angle of falling. Angle of falling is equal to angle between normal of the surface and ball''s speed.
But there is one problem when the ball starts bouncing it will never stop. (like in flipper game). You have to assume that after each bounce ball loses part of it''s energy. It can be implemented by stating that after n - bounces ball rolls again, where n is some integer.
The last thing is to model ball''s fall. Just use equations for free fall. So, in x - direction ball moves with constant speed, and in y - direction ball accelerates with a = g.
I hope it will help you.

Rather than arbitrarily limiting the ball to n bounces, use the natural force of gravity (already included in your simulation) and a summation of forces action upon a body, ie
FT = F1 + F2 + ... + Fn
In this case, we wish to aggregate the current force of the ball and the effects of gravity (otherwise the ball will alter direction and accelerate/decelerate too rapidly). In the specific case of the bouncing ball, when the ball hits the surface, set the magnitude of its force vector to be the signed opposite of its value prior to surface contact and the direction of the force vector to be the "mirror image" of its prior dirction (with the surface normal translated to point of contact and a vector perpendicular to the ball direction defining the plane of the "mirror").
When the ball starts to rise, the height it attains is damped by gravity (which acts in the opposite direction) resulting in a natural parabolic path. The force of the ball the next time it hits the ground is less than before, resulting in a smaller bounce... and so on until the ball resumes simply rolling.
The above explanation may be confusing, so I include a pseudocode implementation for a 2D bouncing/rolling ball demo.
The above pseudocode handles regular motion as well as bouncing, collisions with inclined surfaces (eliminating sines and cosines through the use of the cross product - I used a strange notation to mean the vector (ball_x, 0, ball_y) is assigned the resultant of the cross product) and acceleration due to slopes (I hope!), provided a collision is flagged every time the ball touches a surface.
Those who can do nothing criticize; those who can, critique.

what does the 2 zero mean? and how is cross product related in calculating the vector? also .. how do i know how much damping i should have?

Maybe I do not get what you mean, but gravity cannot damp the momentum of the ball because it is a conservational force. Maybe you mean air resistance/friction?

&(ball_x, 0, ball_y)
I was trying to create a shorthand way of saying the vector resultant (x, y, z) of the cross product is assigned to the corresponding variables ball_x, 0 (meaning not assigned), ball_y. ie:
ball_x = x;
ball_y = z;
I use the 3D cross_product, setting the z values of both vectors being crossed to 0 (so we ignore the YZ and XZ planes). The reason I did it that way is that it eliminates me having to calculate the resultant angle manually. Cross product of two vectors yields a normal vector to the plane of the original vectors. Rotating that product onto the plane of the original vectors should yield a vector bang in the middle of the original two. So if one vector is the direction of the ball and the other is the plane collided with, the resultant is the direction of the ball after collision. There may be a few exceptions.
As for how much damping you should have, I did omit that. Sorry. You''ll need a vertical friction (friction of air, or space depending on the atmosphere you decide to simulate). Then the acceleration equation changes to
ball_vy += ball_ay - ball_fy; // fy is y-axis friction
ball_y += ball_vy;
Hope I''ve clarified things.

I do see some problems with Oluseyi''s code though:
ax += gx;
ay += gy;
ball_vx += ax;
ball_vy += ay;
ball_x += vx;
ball_y += vy;
That''s sort of right. Mostly the acceleration part is wrong. It''s not going to work properly for gravity, and for air friction it''s not great. Air friction depends on the object''s velocity, it''s not just some constant amount. You should use something like:
ball_vx *= air_friction;
ball_vy += gy * dt; //for Earth gy == -9.8
ball_x += vx * dt;
ball_y += vy * dt;
where dt is the change in time since the last update and air_friction is a constant between 0 and 1. The lower the value the stronger the air friction (probably best to use something close to 1 for realism). Using Oluseyi''s method ball_vx might decrease initially but it won''t approach zero, which is what air friction should do, and the object will accelerate downwards way too fast.
Also in the cross product line, I''m pretty sure ball_x and ball_y should be ball_vx and ball_vy.
The rest looks good though.

So it results in smaller velocity. In pseudocode:
if collision_detected = true then begin
Ball_vy = k*Ball_vy
the rest of collison code
end else begin
rolling or free falling code
k describes how much energy was absorbed by the ground.(0
This effect can be used with or without air friction.

I already have my ball bouncing and sliding, the problem is to determine when the balkl should slide and when to bounce. I hope I can figure it out from your replies!
However... There is still the problem to get the ball to roll or rotate correctly. I thought I had solved it by always rotating about the vector perpendicular to the ball''s velocity (the cross product of the velocity vector and the ball''s up-vector). This works fine - most of the time. But when the ball gets a sudden change in direction I sometimes get a strange result. The ball seems to rotate 180 deg about its local y-axis (up-axis) and then everything is fine until it suddenly happens again. And the strange thing is that it doensen''t happen every time the ball changes direction... Just sometimes.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

As for the sudden changes in direction... not sure exactly. Can you figure out if there''s a threshold for the change? Does it only happen if the change in direction is greater than a certain amount? (ie a change in direction greater then 90 degrees)

sorri for this kind of stupid quesiton i m asking but.. i have learnt about dot and cross product before, but none of them used in real applications like game design, can u advise me a book that i can reference to or explain a bit abt how
1) for the collision detection (dot product)
how can i find the vector of the velocity and can the normal be just any normal on the plane? and why?
2) according to the description previously explained, it does not apply to 45 degree angle or does it? what i mean is it is obvious that if a ball bounces 45 degrees on to a plane it will definitely bounce 45 degrees the other way

You probably have two components for the ball''s velocity right? Like one variable representing how fast the ball is moving left or right and one representing how fast it''s moving vertically. Those two components make up a 2D velocity vector. I''ll call the two components xv and yv for now.
For your surface''s normal vector you should pick a normal that points away from the surface, not into it. For example if the surface you''re representing were the surface of the earth, the normal vectors would point into the air, not towards the centre of the earth. I hope that''s clear. You should pick unit vectors to save calculations later (just divide each component by the vector''s magnitude).
To find the angle between the surface normal and the ball''s velocity, take the dot product of the two vectors (using component form*) and then divide by the magnitude of the velocity and the magnitude of the normal vector** (if you picked a unit vector for the surface normal then you just divide by the velocity''s magnitude, saving you a divide operation). The result will be the cosine of the angle between the two vectors. Then just use the acos function to find the angle (don''t forget it will return radians not degrees).
I might be misunderstanding your second point, but I think there''s some confusion over what I meant by bounce and roll. By bounce I mean that the ball is reflected off the surface at some angle, not necessarily straight up, and by roll I meant the ball basically sticks to the surface and slides across it.
Hope that helps.

The formula (X - P) dot N is the shortest distance from the object X to the plane P (if X-P and N are normalized). I won''t bother proving this, just trust me on it. In his article he''s simulating very tiny objects with a radius close to zero, so he''s checking if the distance from the plane to the object is close to zero. In your case you should compare the distance to the radius of the object.
distance = (X - P) dot N
if (ABS(distance - radius) < epsilon) then collision
where epsilon is some arbitrary small number. You use < eps instead of ==0 because with floating point numbers there''s always some innacuracy.
Don''t forget that at high speeds your objects might pass through surfaces because the distance test will fail - if an object of radius 1 is 2 units from a surface it won''t register a collision, but if it moves 4 units in the next frame it will be on the other side and still won''t register a collision. To get around this you calculate the distance from the object''s current position to the plane, then the distance from the plane to where the object _will_ be after updating. If one is negative and one positive, the object is going to pass through.
To answer your question, you don''t use velocity when calculating the distance because the velocity is irrelevant to distance. Velocity only matters when you''re trying to find the angle between the surface''s normal vector and the trajectory of the object, because that angle determines how the object bounces off - like you said before, if an object hits at 45 degrees then it bounces off at 45 degrees.
Search gamedev or google for the definition of dot and cross products. You should be able to find millions of explanations on the web.

The "flippnig" thing happens when there is a sudden change in the direction. For example it happenss if the ball is rolling up a slope and when it has lost all its speed it changes direction and start rolling down the slope instead. It also happens if the ball bounces off a wall...
I would appreciate any more help i could get on this!

Lipcon, Margulies, Alsina & Winkleman, P.A. employs state of the art court room exhibits at trial including pictures, diagrams, charts and renderings.
In many maritime law cases, attorneys may need to convey large amounts of vital information to a jury in a manner that can be properly understood by their audience. A successful case requires the jury to see the same mental image that the lawyer does. It is critical for the jury to understand the information in the way the lawyer intends. If there is confusion, it can lead to an unfavorable outcome. One way a cruise accident lawyer can help convey facts and evidence to a jury is to employ the use of demonstrative aids. Demonstrative aids and courtroom exhibits help explain complex concepts and reinforce trial themes for a jury.
Why Our Cruise Ship Lawyers Use Visual Aids
Visual aids reinforce key points. Part of the thinking process is visual conception. Visual aids eliminate the need for the audience or jury to imagine the scene. Pictures and diagrams are concrete and leave no room for imagination, which makes them a valuable tool in the courtroom.
Court exhibits help to strengthen arguments, making certain points more ingrained in the minds of the jurors than presenting them verbally. These aids also help cruise accident lawyers explain complex ideas in a manageable way since maritime concepts are unfamiliar to most people who do not work in the industry. Most fact-finders have a limited ability to retain large volumes of complex information. Studies show that even people who are specially trained to expand their observation and retention levels can only do so slightly.
A photograph or diagram brings a situation to life. Visual aids provide perspective and depth, and give the jury a sense of environment. Understanding how these elements affect the case is key to delivering a fair verdict, which is why our attorneys use cutting-edge visual aids in the court room.
Visual aids also bring credibility to important ideas. The age-old maxim that a "picture is worth a 1,000 words" holds true in the courtroom. It allows a fact-finder to visualize a situation and draw conclusions based on the facts more accurately. For a cruise ship attorney trying to explain the layout of a cabin or attempting to prove that it was negligent to operate a large vessel in a confined area, visual aids are often the best method to convey the facts.
At Lipcon, Margulies, Alsina & Winkleman, P.A., our cruise ship lawyers use state-of-the-art courtroom exhibits at trial. Click on the images below to see actual exhibits our cruise rape lawyers have prepared for use during several cruise line sexual assault and rape trials. These sample exhibits are from a cruise ship personal injury case as well as a cruise ship sexual assault case. Our lawyers used these images in two separate cases to provide clarification for the jury and audience.

SALT INFORMATION for RAMIFAST H
Ramipril(2.5 mg)
Ramipril is mainly used to control high blood pressure (hypertension). It is used to treat heart failure, to improve survival after heart attack and to prevent stroke. Ramipril is also used to treat various kidney diseases.
How it works
Ramipril belongs to a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors), Ramipril inhibits the chemical ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme). As a result, there is relaxation of blood vessels leading to a fall in blood pressure which makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.
Common side effects
Allergic reaction, Cough, Dizziness, Difficulty in swalloing, Shortness of breath, Facial swelling, Generalised swelling, Headache, Vomiting, Stomach upset
Hydrochlorothiazide(12.5 mg)
Hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It also treats fluid retention (edema) due to congestive heart failure or cirrhosis of liver or kidney disorder.
How it works

The stretch of road is only about 700 feet long, but there might be few in the country that have generated as much worry, consternation and drama in the past year as the eight lanes in Metairie that carry commuters to and from the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.
As the Army Corps of Engineers released its plans to demolish and rebuild a few hundred yards of the crucial link between western St. Tammany Parish and the south shore, commuters vented about the threat of traffic jams that promised to double the time it would take to cross the 24-mile-long bridge, leaving officials anxious about massive backups. In response, engineers made their case that although the transition would be painful, it was a necessary step in securing Jefferson Parish from a massive hurricane.
But after months of meetings, plans and negotiation, it seemed Monday that motorists may have spent more time worrying about traffic at the foot of the Causeway than they'll spend stuck in it.
"This is actually better than I had hoped," Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou said as he looked out from his fourth-floor office at the end of the bridge Monday morning, over a line of cars and trucks driving steadily past the forest of construction equipment parked in the median of Causeway Boulevard. "It shows that when you do your homework, things sometimes actually work."
Dufrechou and other officials had braced for a much more difficult morning. The corps' project, which involves demolishing the roadway at the end of the bridge and keeping traffic flowing while a 15-foot floodwall is built on the stretch now occupied by North Causeway Boulevard, was initially estimated cause jams that could leave commuters stuck in miles-long jams extending back onto the bridge. The work was estimated to add about 25 minutes to the morning commute from the north shore, though officials had hoped impacts on other travelers would be minimal.
But, for the most part, the flow of traffic remained steady, smooth and quick throughout the morning rush-hour, pausing only briefly about 7:30 a.m. when a vehicle stalled after exiting the bridge. Fortunately, a Causeway Police cruiser was coming off the bridge at around the same time and was able to push the disabled car out of the lanes while other officers directed traffic around it.
The Monday morning drive was the first time north shore commuters had to truly deal with the impact of the corps' plan, which has been in the works for about a year. The $43.8 million project will see Boh Bros. Construction Co. crews clear out and pave the median, reroute traffic onto the new roadways, destroy the old ones and build a wall aimed at protecting Jefferson Parish from a so-called 100-year storm. When the outer sections of the wall are complete, new permanent roads will be built over them - eventually coming back to ground level near 6th Street -- and the middle section of the wall will be erected.
But for now, commuters can get used to the current configuration, which includes narrower lanes leading from the southbound bridge and the loss of a lane on the northbound side. It will be several months, at least, before there is another traffic shift, Dufrechou said.
Dufrechou credited the lack of delays Monday morning to two factors: a plan by Boh Bros. that will allow three lanes to carry traffic from the southbound Causeway bridge and an agreement with Jefferson Parish that has increased the length of the green light at 6th Street by about half. Those tweaks prevented traffic from snarling at the light, the main concern of transportation planners.
Northbound drivers are not expected to see much of a slowdown during the construction process because the light at West Esplanade Avenue keeps them from clogging the lanes, Dufrechou said.
Despite the smooth flow of traffic Monday, officials said they're still on alert for any problems that may arise.
Officials do not yet know whether commuters' worries about the construction prompted a significant number of people to take an alternate route, such as the Interstate 10 twin spans, to get to the south shore. While Causeway Police believe there were about as many cars on the Causeway Monday as on any other morning, official numbers will not be available until today.
In addition, Monday's commute showed that smaller lanes can also hinder police units as they try to clear disabled vehicles from traffic lanes, potentially bringing traffic to a standstill. Dufrechou urged commuters to be careful as they exit the bridge.
"The planning and out-of-the-box thinking was important, but just as critical were the motorists," he said.

Our opinion: The Ghost of Projects Past
January 16, 2013
If you've been wondering if the city is still thinking about suing someone or some organization over the failed Allegheny Center for the Arts building project, you're not alone....
"We're confident a grand jury investigation that has been going on for more than a year about the Anchor Grant project has not been lost on Mr. Martinucci" shouldn't he be addressed as "Attorney Martinucci"?

Our elected officials in the City of Warren have painted themselves into a corner that they can't sue their way out of. Their threat of a lawsuit is a scare tactic that isn't working. The best defense is an aggressive offense, eh "City of Warren?" I'm ready for some names to be named. I'm ready for some personal accountability.
