Serene images of sea lions, spirit bears and cormorants are hardly cause
for controversy, but they have created quite a stir in the oil and gas capital
of Canada where they have been deemed too "political" as part of an
anti-pipeline art exhibit.
The show, titled Art for an Oil-Free Coast, which features dozens of artists, including venerable Canadian wildlife painter Robert Bateman, landed this week inside Calgary City Hall targeting the proposed $6.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline, which could carry Alberta oil to British Columbia for export.
The B.C.-based Raincoast Conservation Foundation, which is behind the exhibit that has been on tour for months, is auctioning the items (most have already been sold) to raise money for its ongoing anti-pipeline campaign.
On Tuesday, city officials told organizers that the atrium "will not be used for political events," but nonetheless allowed the show to stay until Wednesday - its planned end date after a three-day visit.
The display would never have been approved if
the city was aware of the "connection to a political cause,"
according to Sharon Purvis, director of corporate properties and buildings.
She said the city will look at changing its application forms so groups with political messages won't be approved down the road.
Brian Falconer, Raincoast's marine operations coordinator and exhibit curator, said the display was initially approved by the city and isn't meant to be political.
"It's a question of interpretation," he said.
"We're not a bunch of radicals; not a bunch of extremists," he added. "We're just Main Street people who love the Coast and who are terrified for this project."
The threat of large numbers of oil tankers converging on the West Coast is hotly debated among British Columbians who are concerned that if approved, Enbridge Inc.'s Northern Gateway pipeline could result in oil spills that could devastate the region's maritime scenery and resources. A similar dispute is raging in the United States, where the proposed Keystone XL pipeline by another Canadian company, TransCanada Corp., would bring crude from Alberta's oil sands to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
One Calgary city councillor was working hard Tuesday to have the exhibit kicked out of City Hall.
"I'll declare my bias," said Diane Colley-Urquhart. "I'm all for the Northern Gateway pipeline and the Keystone pipeline, and City Hall is no place for them to be making their political statement."
She called the art "beautiful," but described Raincoast's methods to receive approval from the city as "extraordinarily deceptive" since there is fundraising involved. Sales are prohibited in the atrium, which is supposed to remain neutral.
Alberta's Justice Minister Jonathan Denis, a Calgary MLA, joined the fray on his Facebook page, writing that "if we're going to allow one side of the issue on display in a public place, equal opportunity should be given to the other side as well."
Alberta's Deputy Premier Thomas Lukaszuk said the artists are free to express themselves. Asked if the paintings should have been removed, he replied, "No, God no."
Alberta Premier Alison Redford told reporters this week that she has no concern about people expressing their opinions, but hoped any fundraising connected to the project should be used for "fact-based" communications.
Mr. Falconer, said there's nothing to actually buy on site. There is through the organization's website.
"It is obviously a challenging issue here in Alberta and an attempt to bring a reasonable conversation to it is tough," he said "It's an emotional issue for Albertans who have a lot of skin in this game."
The show, which is accompanied by the film, Reflections, was screened at the nearby city library, Monday night, including by Paul Fisher, Enbridge's vice-president of western access, who dropped by as a courtesy and then stayed to chat for 45 minutes.
"I don't think it makes sense just to continue butting heads and us saying yes and them saying no and never the twain shall meet," he said. "I think we need to understand what their issues are. They need to understand where we're coming from and look for some middle ground."
As for the controversy over the art display, he called it "unfortunate."
Contributing artist Mr. Bateman welcomed the hostile reaction in Calgary.
"I'm sympathetic to the councillors that want to ban it," he said. "They're actually helping the cause of raising the profile of the show, which is OK, because otherwise the show might get ignored."
Mr. Bateman is no firebrand on hydrocarbons. He said, "this wonderful, beautiful life" he has led is "all because of oil." It was oil that powered the Grumman Goose up the B.C. coast so he could paint the eagle and unsullied coast in the piece he submitted for the exhibit.
"I've always been a champion of nature. So my bottom line is nature – and I think this pipeline proposal could be too risky for nature," he said.
Hundreds of people have visited the exhibit, including Helena and Berend Jonkers of Calgary who were drawn to it when they heard all the hubbub.
They see both sides of the issue; Canada has benefited from oil, but they'd like to see more pipeline inspections.
"The pipeline is not wrong, but it must be done in a better way," Mr. Jonkers said.

Whatever else this season brings for Coventry City supporters, they have already got the one result that really matters.
Today's confirmation that the Sky Blues would be returning to the Ricoh Arena after spending last season playing their fixtures 35 miles from home at Northampton Town's Sixfields Stadium brings an end to the darkest period in the League One club's 131-year history.
It means that Steven Pressley's side will play their first home fixture in Coventry since April 2013 when Gillingham visit on Friday 5 September, the club having agreed to a two-year tenancy with an option for an extra two years. And for Jan Mokrzycki of the Sky Blue Trust it represents "a victory for common sense and fan power".
It was the Trust that led the year-long series of protests after club owners Sisu's rental row with Arena Coventry Limited (ACL) led to City's groundshare arrangement with Northampton.
There was an 8,000-strong march in Coventry on 14 July. At the televised Capital One Cup tie with Cardiff City this month, fans stood on the hill above Sixfields with banners bearing the message "Let Down".
This mirrored similar protests last season when, moreover, fans voted with their feet by staying away from games at Sixfields. Coventry had the lowest average attendance in League One, 2,348, compared with an average of 10,948 at the Ricoh the previous season. According to one club source, the £500,000 raised from overall tickets sales at Sixfields in 2013-14 was a significant drop from the £1.8m brought in during the 2012-13 campaign.
Mokrzycki tells The Independent: "It is a victory for common sense and the power the supporter can have when they are united. It is a good day all around, and all we want to do now is get behind our team. It is almost like a new beginning – for the past year it has not felt like our team, it is a team that has been playing at Northampton. Our team is the one that plays in Coventry."
According to manager Pressley – who did a commendable job steering Coventry to 18th place in League One last season despite a 10-point penalty for administration – this was "a huge and defining day for the football club".
It began to take shape during the close season. At the end of June, Sisu lost its High Court battle with Coventry City Council over a £14.4m loan made by the council to ACL. Sisu claimed it was unlawful state aid, while the council argued it acted to protect its investment in ACL after the football club began withholding its rent payment. Then, three weeks ago, the Football League ordered Sisu to pay ACL the vast majority of the £590,000 still owing – £471,000 to be precise – as a condition of having been allowed to come out of administration and complete their fixtures in summer 2013.
After increasingly bitter relations between the different parties last year, two new faces took over negotiations: Steve Waggott, Coventry's development director – not the unpopular chief executive, Tim Fisher – and Chris Robinson, who took over as the new chairman of ACL in February.
Speaking to The Independent, Waggott admitted that Coventry now had to "re-engage with our fanbase. I am hoping that people will look forward and not back".
Yet the saga is not entirely over. The root of Coventry's problems is they have not owned their own stadium since leaving Highfield Road in 2005 and Waggott stressed this remained the club's ambition – be it at the Ricoh Arena or elsewhere.
"In the modern game every football club wants to have as many diversified revenue streams as possible and to get that you have to own the stadium or have the rights to the stadium all year," he said. "We need to have this because of FFP and salary caps.
"This is a great step forward but it is a first step. The next steps have got to be moving towards us having our own stadium, if that's a new stadium or a deal with partners in Coventry."
Today was a blue-sky day for Coventry fans, but a question mark still hangs over the long-term future.Reuse content

Well done. You did a great job of showing Buffy and Spike in the situation of deciding what to watch on tv. Is Martin Noxon's question supposed to be saying that she can't really see Spike and Buffy together or is she trying to say they aren't normal. We as fans know damn well they aren't normal and we accept that about them. I really believe B/S are a way better couple than B/A. Anyway, I just want to say that B/S is the most perfect imperfect couple and a lot of people don't see that. I know people have their opinions. It should have been spuffy from the beginning and we wouldn't be having this issue.
| LBruce chapter 1 . 11/17/2005
This was an extremely cute story. It was very unusual for the of them to just be sitting at home, pleasently watching tv but the language and the mannerisms are so like them. This story made me smile immediately. The writing is so true to the characters, great job!

I'm not sold on Kuznetsov. On the other hand though, Barkov won me over a long time ago.
If time is not a factor, I say go with Barkov for higher long-term potential upside.

Kuznetsov is one of the best player NOT playing in the NHL, and I think we will be saying that about him for years to come.
I will choose the kid who will actually come play in the NHL, Barkov.
10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

G- Vasilevskiy, Bobrovsky
"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but don't stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Barkov is safer by far, but a lower offensive ceiling. I see him as similar to Toews, maybe not quite as much offensively. Kuznetsov is more of a pure offensive guy, but may never make it in N.A.

G: J Quick, A Niemi, C Anderson, Rinne
Kuznetsov is touted as the best player in the world outside the NHL. He confirmed fairly recently that he is planning on coming to the NHL after the Olympics. So he's poised to make his NHL debut in 2014-15 at 23 years old, playing with the likes of Ovechkin and Backstrom.
I guess Kuz could change his mind, but if we assume that both he and Barkov will play in the NHL, I think the obvious choice here is Kuznetsov.
10 team roto, Keep 17 + 45 farmers (Farm GP limits 246 F, 328 D and 200 G). Dress 9F 5D 1Ut 2G (G A +/- PPP PIM SOG W SV% GAA)

Kuznetsov. He could easily post 100 points playing w Backstrom and Ovechkin. He way has more offensive upside than any prospect and most NHL players regardless of who he plays with. Barkov is safer and will be an allstar as well but this isn't even close for me
Barkov is the safer bet. However, if time is of no concern and it truly is about who has the greatest upside, Kuznetsov is the obvious choice of the 2.

D: Boyle,Del Zotto,Doughty,D.Hamilton,Hedman,Markov
G: Rinne
Bench: Braun,Comeau, Demers,DeHaan,Polak,Stempniak,Wingels --Fleury
I'd go with Barkov. I'm not sold on ''Kuznetsov have a higher upside than Barkov''. But this is just my opinion.
Don't get me wrong. Kuznetsov is a really good prospect. But I can see him as the next Semin with up and down. I'm not comparing the player style but the statistics side.
Barkov is the safer pick for me.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I personally have worked for this agency - PLEASE AVOID WORKING FOR THEM!! THERE ARE LOADS OF PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY, RELIABLE AND SAFE PEOPLE TO WORK FOR OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was offered employment with Funtastic after telephone and e-mail correspondence. The position offered was for an Animator/Dancer, which is clearly written on the contract e-mail to me by the Agency. During the telephone conversations between myself and the Agency, the position was discussed and I was told it was to perform in the proffessional eveing shows at the Hotel, as well as daytime duties as a general entertainer within the Hotel. However, when I arrived at the Hotel and met my team members, they informed me I had been hired as 'the Kids Club girl' and it became apparent after further discussion that the vacancy I was filling was not the position I had agreed to and accepted.
I wish to point out at this stage that during my troubles with Funtastic Entertainment Agency/Chabah's Entertainment Agency I approached The Department of Labour in Cyprus with a copy of my contract and was told it was neither binding or even legal. I also told them I was working 8-10 hours a day, which prompted them to inform me that after 8 hours, any worker must recieve time and a half payment by Cyprus Law. I relayed this to the Agency and recieved a silent response, and was never paid time and a half.
For ease of reading, the following bullet points list various other problems I encoured as an employee of Funtastic Entertainment Agency/Chanbah's Entertainment Agency.
I never felt there was any care or responsibility taken by the Agency where employees were concerned. Myself and other employees regularly felt completely bullied and belittled by Mr. Chabah and his persona, resulting in feeling that problems were unlikely to get sorted and that we sometimes weren't in a position to stick up for ourselves due to fear of our employer and his threats.
I hope this is of use to you.

I started saving a lot when using pressure cooker. Cheaper cuts of meat get tender quickly, you save money on energy bill and time. Pressure cooker not only help makes better tasting meats, you can quickly prepare dried beans, meat sauce, brown rice in no time.Jeff K
I am so thrilled that Whole Foods has finally come near me in South Miami Florida. One of the best money saving tips is to talk to the butchers. Whole Foods has wonderful cuts of meat, but they are way too big for me and my family members. Rather than get one or two thick large steaks and split them after cooking. You can get the butchers to cut up some wonderful steaks in almost any thickness and size.Jodi
It's expensive to serve steak to an entire steak-loving family. So, to keep costs down but the yummy factor up, I go to the meat counter. I choose the largest piece of skirt/flank steak I can find, and then ask the butcher to cut it into four equal pieces. I buy one of the delicious marinades Whole Foods always features at the meat counter. I bring them home, marinade them and throw them on the barbecue or broil them for the entire family. Skirt steak is delicious, it's tender, it's always flavorful and much cheaper than buying individual rib eyes and it's still a steak dinner with your favorite veggie side! I figure I am savings thousands of dollars over a year's time! Tip: Choose different marinades and it's a "new" dinner everytime.What are your tips for keeping meat in your meals without sacrificing quality? Please post them on The Whole Deal™!

Skip to comments.WUFC is sold, will convert to syndicated talk radio
Posted on 04/30/2014 4:25:11 AM PDT by raccoonradio
Going, going, but not quite gone is Yahoo Radio Boston/WUFC 1510 radio will fade away as sports talker at the end of May. It was announced today that the station has been acquired by Wallis Communications and will convert to mostly libertarian talk and personality-drive talk.
Here's the press release with initial talk line-up and schedule :
Personality Radio Coming to Boston
WUFC 1510 AM is set to be the New Home to Popular Talk Radio Personalities Glenn Beck, Jay Mohr, Alex Jones and Dr. K.
Boston, MA-April 28, 2014: Wallis Communications has announced plans to take over WUFC 1510 AM, a 50,000 watt radio station serving the Boston media market. When the new station launches on June 1st, WUFC 1510 AM will become home to a mix of libertarian and personality driven radio shows featuring some of the biggest names in the industry like Glenn Beck, Jay Mohr, Alex Jones and The Dr. K Show! The station will also air sports news and games from Boston College and Boston University.
Wallis Communications will operate and manage WUFC under an LMA with current licensee, Blackstrap Broadcasting pending FCC approval of a license transfer. The stations 50,000-watt signal will reach listeners as far north as Canada. Programming will also be heard via a live web stream and on mobile device apps such as Tune In Radio. The tentative program lineup will feature several widely popular talk shows including The Dr. K Show in the Morning (from 6 am 9 am), The Glenn Beck Program (9 am 12 pm), Jay Mohr Program (12 pm 3 pm) and Info Wars with Alex Jones (Overnight) Additional programming details will be announced before the station debuts in June.
Wallis Communications plans to give talk radio a new twist by challenging the content boundaries and offering a free and open exchange of ideas. Where Liberty Has a Voice will be the stations new positioning statement with the goal of bringing a fresh and unique perspective to listeners. Each show will deliver extraordinary content, offering viewpoints on important topics like politics, world affairs and much more.
We are excited to move into Boston, said Kevin J. Wallis PhD, CEO of Wallis Communications. We have made a huge name for ourselves in the Washington DC market with our takeover of WILC 900 AM. Wallis Communications is working toward acquiring additional stations throughout the United States in the coming months.
With real war looming, professional sports is kinda boring.
Everything I need to know about pro sports I learned watching the original Rollerball.
The old home of Eddie Andelman? It's been a while but I remember him up at that end of the dial. Now sports radio is all ESPN carp and, spit, SeeBS Sports Radio.
I can't stomach sports radio, and thoroughly HATE sports TV. It's the loudest, most obnoxious programming on the air, with the possible exception of Ed schmutz Schultz.
Pro "sports" lost its luster a long, long time ago - during my childhood, I think. The only pro sports I watch are when its down to the last 4 teams in baseball/football playoffs .... and sometimes, I don't even watch that. I detest pro basketball and never ever watch. Sports 'talk radio' is of no interest whatsoever - listening to commentators during events is hard enough.
March Madness and some specific college football games of interest are about the extent of sports watching these days ... well, maybe a little NASCAR since the rules change this season has made for better racing (IMO).

NZD/JPY rising inside minor correction 2
- NZD/JPY rising inside minor correction 2
- Next buy target - 76.60
NZD/JPY continues to rise inside the (c)-wave of the minor correction 2, which started earlier – when the pair reversed up from the support zone lying between the lower daily Bollinger Band and the powerful support level 72.00 (which also stopped the previous minor impulse wave 1 at the start of August (as can be seen from the daily NZD/JPY chart below).
NZD/JPY is expected to rise further in the active (c)-wave toward the next buy target at the key resistance level 76.60 (which reversed the previous intermediate correction (2)). The resistance level 76.60 is also the forecast price calculated for the termination of the active minor correction 2.

The present invention relates generally to electromagnetically reading coordinate data to obtain digital equivalents of the data and to a digitizer system having such a function.
A typical electromagnetic digitizer known heretofore comprises an exciting coil for producing an alternating magnetic field and two mutually perpendicular sets of parallel conductors arrayed like a reticulate lattice. The magnetic field induces electromotive forces in the conductors. The exciting coil (hereinafter shall be referred to as a cursor coil or simply as a coil) is housed in a cursor or stylus capsule of the digitizer movable along the surface of the lattice. The conductors in one set are electrically insulated from the other set of conductors. These conductors are embedded in a planar substrate to form a so-called tablet. The conductors of each set have their one ends electrically connected together so that m longitudinal loops Xi (i=1˜m) and n lateral loops Yj (j=1˜n) are formed by the respective adjacent conductors, as shown in FIG. 1.
To determine the position of the cursor, alternating voltage of tens Hz to several MHz is applied across the coil C housed therein to induce alternating electromotive forces in the respective loops Xi and Yj. The electromotive force is measured by sequentially changing over the switches Sx and Sy from the loops X1 and Y1 through to Xm and Xn, respectively. Then, reading the address or coordinates (xi, yj) of a pair of one Xi and Yi under the highest electromotive force in each set of loops gives the position of the cursor.
In such a method, however, the positional resolution depends on the intervals between adjacent loops or conductors. Therefore, to improve the resolution, the conductors must be arrayed at correspondingly decreased intervals, or positions between adjacent conductors must be determined somehow. However, it is difficult to make the intervals narrower than about 0.5 mm in view of the manufacturing technique and cost or from a quality control aspect. Therefore, if a resolution higher than this level is required, it is necessary to determine such inter-conductor positions by some means or other. Hereinbelow, a few known solutions for determining such inter-conductor positions are described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.
FIG. 2 shows typically how the peak value of alternating electromotive force induced in a loop L by a coil C changes as the coil moves transversely of the loop L. The diameter d of the coil C is almost equal to the interval between two conductors forming the loop L.
To determine the position of the coil in a loop, namely, its position between two adjacent conductors forming the loop, one known method utilizes such a change in the induced electromotive force with the position of the coil relative to the loop. This method uses a tablet having its alternate conductors connected together at their one ends so that the resultant one set of loops formed of adjacent odd conductors are half-lapped over the other set of loops formed of adjacent even conductors, as shown in FIG. 3(a). If the interval between two conductors forming one loop is almost equal to the diameter of the coil C like the case of FIG. 2, the electromotive forces ei and ei+1 induced in the loops Li and Li+1 will have waveforms as shown in FIG. 3(b) with their peaks corresponding to ea, eb or ec shown in FIG. 2, when the coil C occupies the respective positions relative to the loops Li and Li+1 as shown in FIG. 3(a). Then, the phase of e.sub. i+1 is advanced by 90� to obtain the waveform ei+1, which is in turn added to ei to obtain ep. The resultant waveform ep has a phase difference from the original ei or ei+1 which varies with the position of the coil C relative to the loops Li and Li+1. Thus, the position of the coil C can be known by determining this phase difference of ep from ei or ei+1. With this method, however, it is difficult to achieve a high accuracy. Further, rather intricate operations are involved such as phase shift, superposition of waves and measurement of phase difference.
Alternatively, Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 52-96825 discloses the use of a coil having a diameter d about three times larger than the interval l between adjacent conductors as shown in FIG. 4. In this arrangement, the inter-conductor position is determined based on the finding that the ratio em /es of the highest electromotive force em to the second highest electromotive force es among the three loops substantially covered by the coil C is a function of its inter-conductor position. However, since this function is not a linear one, complicated calculation is required, or the positional reading must be compensated by using data precollected and stored in a ROM or the like.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a simplified method of reading coordinates with an improved accuracy.
According to the present invention, the coordinates, namely, the position of the cursor coil is determined based on the distribution of the electromotive forces induced in the conductors of the tablet, the distribution being substantially symmetrical with respect to the center of the cursor coil.
Especially, the method of the present invention permits the inter-conductor positions to be determined more accurately and simplifiedly.
These and other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments thereof taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a known digitizer which is usable also for the method of the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows a curve which is obtained by plotting the electromotive force induced in a loop against the position of a cursor coil relative to the loop as it moves transversely of the loop;
FIG. 3(a) shows schematically a cursor coil and loops of one known digitizer, and FIG. 3(b) shows waveforms of the electromotive forces appearing in the loops of FIG. 3(a);
FIG. 4 shows schematically a cursor coil and loops of another known digitizer;
FIG. 5 shows a distribution curve of electromotive forces which is used in principle by the present invention;
FIG. 6 shows a distribution curve used to explain one preferred method of the present invention;
FIG. 7 shows distribution curves used to explain another preferred method of the present invention;
FIG. 8 shows a relationship between the coil position deviation of the cursor coil and the differential electromotive force used in the method of FIG. 7;
FIGS. 9(a) and 9(b) show schematically another forms of digitizer usable in the present invention;
FIG. 10 shows another distribution curve of electromotive forces which is also usable in the present invention; and
FIG. 11 is a schematic block diagram of the circuit of a digitizer used in the present invention.
The present invention employs a digitizer having a cursor coil and a tablet. The plane of the tablet substantially represents a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system. However, since the X-axial and Y-axial positions of the cursor coil can be determined quite identically, the following description will be made only with regard to the X-axis.
Referring now to FIG. 5, the cursor coil of d in effective flux diameter produces a magnetic field over the loops arrayed in the tablet at intervals of l. In the drawing, the respective loops are represented by their center lines at x=xi. The magnetic field is substantially symmetrical with respect to a vertical axis x=xp passing the center of the coil, which is unknown and here assumed to be positioned between adjacent two loops at x=xn and xn+1. As the resolution of a digitizer generally increases with the ratio d/l, a suitable ratio may be selected depending on the resolution desired in specific cases. In the present invention, it is preferred that the ratio ranges from about 10 to 30 (namely, 10l≦d≦30l). Of course, this ratio may be smaller than 10.
Plotting the induced electromotive forces Ei against xi gives an electromotive force distribution curve E=E(x) as shown in FIG. 5. The E(x) is also substantially symmetrical with respect to the axis x=xp. To determine the position of this axis of symmetry, two loops at x=xa and xb (xa <xb) on the rising side of the distribution curve and another two loops at x=xc and xd (xc <xd) on its falling side are selected as shown in FIG. 6 so that two straight lines connecting the respective corresponding two points on E(x) have an equal gradient in absolute value, namely, so that the following formula is satisfied: ##EQU1##
Thus, the two selected loops on one side of the curve must exist at symmetrical positions to those on the other side or the two loops on each side must correspond to a substantially linear portion of the distribution curve.
Since E(xi)=Ei, xp can be determined as the abscissa of the intersection of two lines connecting (xa, Ea) and (xb, Eb), and (xc, Ec) and (xd, Ed), respectively. Thus, it can be known by solving the following equation (1): ##EQU2##
If the two loops selected on the rising side of the distribution curve are adjacent ones, namely, if xb -xa =l, xp can be expressed as follows: ##EQU3##
Another method of the present invention will be now described with reference to FIG. 7. In FIG. 7, there are shown three distribution curves En (x), En-1 (x) and E(x) which are obtained substantially in the same manner as the curve of FIG. 5. The curves En (x) and En-1 (x) are given when the center of the cursor coil is positioned at x=xn and x=xn-1, respectively, whereas E(x) represents a distribution curve appearing when it is positioned at x=xp between xn-1 and xn (xp =xn -Δx, 0<Δx<l). If selecting two loops at x=xa and xb symmetrically with respect to the axis x=xn, En (xa)=En (xb). Although the difference ΔE between E(xa) or E(xb) and En (xa) increases with Δx as E(x) comes close to En-1 (x), it is known that En (x) and E(x) approximately satisfy the following formula if they are approximately linear in the vicinity of x=xa and xb.
2En (xa)=E(xa)+E(xb) (4) ##EQU4## Since E(x) varies with Δx, ΔE is a function of Δx. Meanwhile, the loops where the distribution curve E(x) are substantially linear can be predetermined experimentally. That is to say, the two loops at x=xa and xb can be selected as so. Then, ΔE and Δx substantially satisfy the following relationship, as shown in FIG. 8.
ΔE=mΔx (6)
where m is a constant which can also be predetermined experimentally.
Therefore, to determine xp, the abscissa of the loop incurring the highest electromotive force is first determined as Xn. Then, measuring E(xa) and E(xb) at x=xa and xb, as predetermined, gives ΔE by the foregoing formula (5), which in turn gives Δx by the formula (6). Then, xp can be determined as follows:
xp =xn -Δx
Alternatively, Δx may be determined based on the ratio E(xa)/E(xb) instead of ΔE used above.
In one modified method of the present invention, suitable feedback control may be provided between the loops of the tablet and the cursor coil to control its input so that in the resultant distribution curve of electromotive forces the arithmetic mean ##EQU5## is always equal to En (xa), which is an experimentally predeterminable constant. Then, the distribution curve E(x) will have an improved linearity at x=xa and xb and the foregoing formula (6) will have an improved reliability. In this case, m can be predetermined as ##EQU6## Thus, from the formulas (5) and (6), ##EQU7##
The foregoing embodiments have used a tablet having its conductors connected together at their one ends to form loops. However, such one ends of the conductors which are not subjected to switching when measuring the electromotive forces may be left open or grounded as shown in FIG. 9(a) or 9(b).
Further, the cursor coil and the tablet may be adapted to produce a double-peak distribution curve with each peak occurring at each end of the coil as shown in FIG. 10. In this arrangement, E(xa) and E(xb) can also satisfy the foregoing formula (6) if two loops at x=xa and xb are symmetrically selected, with respect to the loop at x=xn incurring the lowest electromotive force, at substantially linear portions of the curve E(x). Further, the linearity of the curve at x=xa and xb may be improved by providing feedback control between the cursor coil and the conductors, as described previously.
Although in the embodiments described hereinbefore the distribution curve was obtained by measuring electromotive forces induced by the cursor coil in the loops or the conductors, it may be obtained by measuring the electromotive force induced in the cursor coil by sequentially excited loops or conductors.
The method of reading coordinates according to the present invention may be practiced as a digitizer system in the following manner, for example. FIG. 11 schematically shows such a digitizer in which the numeral 1 generally denotes conductors arrayed at constant intervals in a tablet. The conductors 1 have their one ends connected together. At their other ends, the conductors 1 are divided into several groups Gi (i=1˜n) each containing two or more same number of conductors. Each group Gi is provided with a selector Mi which selects at a time at most one conductor from its associated group. The selectors Mi as a whole function like a multiplexor. The outputs of alternate selectors are connected together to one or the other input terninal of an amplifier AMP. In other words, the even and odd selectors have their outputs connected to one and the other input terminals of the amplifier AMP, respectively.
Further, a microprocessor MPC sequentially selects a pair of adjacent selectors so that in the selected pair the conductors at the same position are selected. Thus, the electromotive force induced by a cursor coil in a loop formed of the selected pair of conductors is fed as input to the amplifier AMP. Therefore, when sequentially selecting a pair of adjacent selectors and their conductors, the output of the amplifier AMP will give a distribution curve of electromotive forces as shown in FIG. 5. The output of the amplifier AMP is fed as its peak to the analog-digital converter AD through a sample holding circuit SH. Based on the digital input fed by the converter AD, the microprocessor performs an arithmetic operation to determine the exact position of the cursor coil in accordance with the formula (2) or (3) described previously.
In the aforementioned arrangement the microprocessor selects a next pair of adjacent selectors only when all the conductors of the currently selected pair have been subjected to measurement. However, the system may be adapted so that the microprocessor first scans all the selectors through with the respective selectors set at their fixed positions, for example, at their lefmost positions, to permit that the selection of the conductors be started just from such a pair of selectors where the scanning finds induction of a predetermined threshold electromotive force. Then the position of the cursor coil can be determined more efficiently.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be obvious to those skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Weather Journal: Pleasant Temperatures Continue
Tuesday's weather will bring another brilliantly pleasant summer day to the area. And thankfully for most of the upcoming week, it'll be wash, rinse, repeat.
Temperatures on Tuesday will settle in at the mid-80s for most of the tri-state region, except perhaps a few degrees cooler at area beaches. If this week is your summer vacation at the Jersey Shore, you couldn't have picked it better. Beautiful beach weather is on offer all week, thanks to stable high pressure that originated in Canada — far, far away from last week's air mass that came from the sultry inferno formerly known as the Ohio Valley.
Seventy-six years ago today, in the midst of the hottest summer in U.S. history (at least for the time being), New York City reached its all time record high temperature of 106 degrees.

Javan, the ion is unisex. A small is for 15.5 to 17.5" torsos. But because there isn't a true waistbelt that sits on the user's hips, torso length isn't really determinative of fit. Lots of fudge room for these packsFeb 18, 2010 at 9:39 pm #1575677
Javan DempseyMember
@jdempseyLocale: The-Stateless-Society
that clarifies things, thanks again Konrad!Feb 18, 2010 at 9:46 pm #1575679
I hear a lot of people say the hipbelt doesn't do anything for them on an Ion. Personally I like it for two reasons. First it keeps the pack from shifting around. Second when I pack it right it does take some of the load off my shoulders. Personally I would at least try to get one that fits but if you don't care about the hipbelt no worries. I love my Ion. If you want to increase its capacity heres a simple trick. Sew two straps onto the top of the lid. If you can't fit everything inside put your raingear or whatever in a stuff sack and strap it on top.Feb 21, 2010 at 9:03 pm #1576910
how much do these hold? I am looking for a small backpack for my son who is 8. I need something to hold 15lbs or so , clothes, bag, etc.Feb 21, 2010 at 9:19 pm #1576920
Matt if you want a lightweight kid pack I think the Ion might be a good choice. As far as volume I think its around 1500 cubic inches although as I mentioned above you can modify it. For me it holds a SUL summer kit and about two days of food. When I took a little brother's friend out I let him carry it. We stuffed his clothes, a 20 degree down sleeping bag, and his waterbottles in, I carried everything else. I've hauled up to around 15 pounds in it and been fine but for a little kid I'd aim for no more than 10 just because its a minimalistic pack. Have fun taking the little guy out!Feb 21, 2010 at 9:25 pm #1576926
I was just going threw golites site and looking for a pack for him. I wish there was a few outer compartments on it. I contacted golite to see what they recommend for a 8year old. We will see I am having a hard time finding lightweight packs for him they just don't say " kids" on them. I had my eye on the oprey jib but it comes in at 3lbs 3oz. hmmmm.Feb 22, 2010 at 7:07 am #1576999
Matt I totally agree the Ion would have been much nicer with a few pockets. There were a couple of threads here about adding pockets to Ions if you're interested in that. You could also add pouches on the hipbelt. The only other pack I know of that is this light for kids would be the MLD Burn or Prophet. Actually the REI Flash 30 might work too. I tried one on and for some reason didn't like the fit but you never know.Feb 22, 2010 at 7:53 am #1577008

Just got a reply back from golite and they state they don't make packs for kids and didn't go futher then that . What a disappointment. I was hoping for a few suggestions to look into. What is MLD? I haven't heard of them before. I will check into the flash series. If we get to camp and empty his bag there I wanted to use his pack as a daypack from camp.Feb 22, 2010 at 9:17 am #1577052

Hi Matt,Feb 24, 2010 at 12:17 pm #1578079
Well, Hermit's Hut just pulled the hat trick ala Moosejaw.
I placed an order on the 16th when this post came up for an Ion, and my order was accepted and payment taken and I get a call today saying GoLite does not make these anymore and they don't have any. So they are refunding my money after holding it for two weeks.
Do these companies not get how damaging it is to their reputation when they accept an order and then can't fulfill it? And why did it take so long to notify me?

I would caution anyone doing business with this company. I still have not recieved my money back after they flubbed my order. Numerous calls to them, and they always say they will call me back but they never do.
Avoid them like the plague.

Sorry about your situation. I've had good experience dealing with Hermits Hut (purchased 3 Western Mountaineering Bags at different times) without incident there customer service people were helpful and merchandise was delivered in a timely manner
RogerMar 5, 2010 at 5:04 pm #1582564
Thanks Roger,
Maybe I am just the odd one out.
I am sure I will get my money back, but they don't seem to take it seriously.
It's just a matter of principle to me that if you make a mistake, you do whatever it takes to correct it right away. The answer- it's in accounting, is simply not good enough. At least call me back when you say you will.
GregMar 5, 2010 at 5:11 pm #1582569
You have to look at it like this they're in the business to make money not tick off customers… where's the profit in that?
Hope things get straightened out soonMar 5, 2010 at 6:33 pm #1582598
From reports I decided to hold off from buying from them .The REI flash looks about the same size and has a water port so this might work for the little guy as a ultralight pack. :-)Mar 5, 2010 at 9:03 pm #1582662

Parenting with Love, Consistency, and Expectations - Not Manipulation, Bargaining or Fear
So, the other night at bedtime, I totally biffed it and got caught up in the world of manipulation and calling bluffs.
It was bedtime and little girl, newly transitioned from our bed to brother's room, still needed me in the room to fall asleep. Little boy gets a bit distracted by his sister on occasion who plays stand up and flop down games and blows kisses and other things siblings do at bedtime.
So, the other night, little boy was distracted and then wasn't falling asleep. Little girl was out in minutes. I told little boy that I'd leave the room if he didn't stay in bed.
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
For the last month I'd be back in his room while little girl transitioned to a new space. I'd cuddled in bed with him till he fell asleep and it was nice - for me and for him, but it needed to end so now I was just sitting in a chair. Little boy likes when I'm in the room and that cozy feeling is powerful stuff, and yet....when the heck did I decide to start bargaining for good behavior with my love and attention!
And of course it backfired.
Little boy said, "Leave". He's 28 months! So I did to which he immediately capitulated. And then we went through the process again. "Leave, Mommy". And then a huge wailing of misery, "Mommy, I'm crying, I'm crying!".
(Some might be saying, "Just leave him in the room!" to which I'd agree in general. First, as much as he likes me there, his distress isn't really the distress of his first year of life in which we did respond, but mainly a very vocal attempt to have some attention. But, that very loud vocal attempt wakes up little girl and little girl is LOUD and takes a long time to regroup - it's a touch of a Catch 22 and boy wields some control of the situation)
It is amazing to me how easily it is to fall into these interactions where bargaining, bluffing and threats take over, especially because I know and espouse totally different practices personally and professionally. There was me thinking up, "You need to stay in bed or else...." Except that I didn't have a good "or else" that I wanted to employ.
SO I biffed it and he took full advantage of the game till some light went on in my head (albeit slowly) which reminded me of the "super nanny technique" which is just plain old consistency and follow through about the expectations.
So, I picked him up and plopped him in bed (a gentle plop) and said it was time for bed. And he got up and I did it again. And again. And again. And then little Mr. Big Boy Sowing His Big Boy Oats got something off the shelf next to his bed without leaving his bed and sat with his back to me. And I hung out and prepared to stand up again and then he flopped over sound asleep.
We try to parent with consistent messages and clear expectations. It's not easy and it requires constant attention - not scowls or scoldings, but noticings.
There was a study done in classrooms cited by Boynton, M. & C. (2005) that showed that 95% of off-task behavior was due to one of only three things:
1. The kid thought the teacher didn't notice
2. The kid thought the teacher didn't care
3. The kid didn't care about the consequence
I think back to my own frequent off-task behavior as a student, writing notes and talking to friends and I'm stunned to realize that I really thought the teacher didn't notice me. Duh. Of course the teacher noticed me, but he chose to ignore me because I wasn't THAT distracting. Dumb. And it meant that my note-writing and whispering continued.
With my little boy at bedtime, it's the same stuff. If I ignore when he silently slides out of bed, he thinks I don't notice OR he thinks I don't really care about staying in bed. The consequence thing is rather a moot point because the consistency of plopping him back in bed (which one can do with a two-year old) speaks tremendously of our expectations and is far more inline with our parenting philosophy.
He's a good kid and the next night went like a dream. And the night after that. And then we got to nap time today. Oy Vay! It's a doozy, but I've got my mind set set and just consistently set the expectation and stayed relaxed and calm and he got the point. Eventually.

Indianapolis -- The past four days, dozens of players have defended themselves. Some vow they've learned from off-field mistakes. Some say they're getting stronger. Some say they're getting faster.
And there's nothing Russell Wilson can do about the knock on him --- height.
The Wisconsin quarterback officially measured in at 5 feet, 11 inches. In the NFL, he does not have prototypical size. So despite throwing for 3,175 yards with 33 touchdowns and only four interceptions and leading the nation in pass efficiency (191.78), doubts persist. Wilson could slip to the late rounds.
This week in Indy, he said this all shouldn't be an issue.
"To be honest with you, nobody really has any concerns," Wilson said. "They've seen me do a variety of things. I was in a West Coast style of offense when I was at N.C. State, then I went to a vertical play-action game at the University of Wisconsin, so in terms of knowledge of the game, in terms of knowing protections, in terms of the concepts and stepping into a brand new huddle like I did at the University of Wisconsin, teams really know that my leadership is there, my understanding of the game and obviously my ability as well."
Wilson added that he has spoken to Doug Flutie, another shorter QB, several times.
"He's a great player obviously and a great human being," Wilson said. "And I've watched other guys, too. I've watched clips of Fran Tarkenton, guys all across the league. But I've also watched taller quarterbacks, too. I just try to watch the best. Obviously Doug Flutie was one of the best of his time, so it's pretty interesting to watch him and the way he plays, but also guys like Drew Brees as well."
Gil Brandt, the Dallas Cowboys vice president of player personnel from 1960-89, can't remember a quarterback this short having long-term success in the pros. Brees is six feet tall and the Hall of Famer Tarkenton played in a different era.
"That guy is 5-10 5/8 and he doesn't have any passes blocked," Brandt said. "He's fantastic. The question is who's the last 5-10 5/8 quarterback we had? I can't think of any. I don't know what Tarkenton was. When he came out, he was probably 5-11 but that was 50 years ago and there's a lot of difference between the size of guys then and now. I would say that with everything considered, it's a lot harder to do it now than it was with Tarkenton.
"I think the guy is a heck of football player and a great person. I talked to a couple of their linemen and one of them said that when (Wilson) was thinking about coming here, he said he wanted to meet all of the offensive linemen. He's smart. And he told them, 'The reason I want to come here is I've never had an offensive line like yours."
Time will tell. If Wilson were a few inches taller, he might have been a first- or second-round pick. Now, it's up to NFL general managers.
Badgers wide receiver Nick Toon, who's also at the Combine, thinks Wilson will impress scouts during drills. He said he could tell Wilson was "a special player" the first time they played catch. His team's season-opening win against UNLV -- when Wilson completed 10 of 13 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns -- made him a firm believer.
"Russell's a special player," he said, "and I think he'll have success at the next level."

|Re: remove JackrabbitRepository.shutdown()
|Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:05:11 GMT
Hi, before I get into some conceptual thoughs, I think the main question regarding shutdown() is: Do people need to be able to call shutdown() remotely? I consider the interface "Repository" as part of the JCR client API. The actually started JCR-server is IMHO a different entity, which is currently somewhat represented by TransientRepository - but it has the problem of implementing the Repository interface as well, which makes things very confusing. == Server Things get clearer when we look at a remoting situation: here someone starts the Jackrabbit/JCR server on one server. I will call this the "server" entity for now, which is not standardized or even mentioned in the JSR specs (1.0 and 2.0). This is the entity which is started and stopped (shutdown) and probably managed in other ways as well. I don't know if this should be standardized, but it would look good if the code in the end (even if it is Jackrabbit-specific) would look like this: RepositoryServer server = new RepositoryServer("jndi://localhost/ jackrabbit"); // register on JNDI RepositoryServer server = new RepositoryServer("http://localhost:1234 "); // start webdav server on port 1234 ... server.shutdown(); The shutdown method would be completely natural here. And note that the RepositoryServer is only needed for server-startup code; the embedded variant can be handled simpler (see below). == Client Then we have on a different machine a JCR client that connects to this server. Here we have the normal JCR API, which always implements the *client-side view* on a repository - a good example is "Workspace", which is session-bound and does not represent the persisted Workspace entity on the server, but rather what that specific client "sees". Therefor we should not mix the interface "Repository" with the server. A better naming in this regard would probably be "RepositoryConnection", but as this is part of the standard we can't change it anyway ;-) Now to the solutions: I personally like the RepositoryFactory (or ClientRepositoryFactory) proposal: it is a generic way to get client- Repository instances. In the case of an embedded Repositories the server entity gets completely hidden by the respective implementation of the RepositoryFactory for the embedded case. To allow shutdown(), I think it would be better to put this method into the factory than in some client interface: RepositoryFactory.shutdownEmbedded(Repository repo) In all other cases, in which we start a server (eg. RMI), we can easily shut it down on the server side (eg. RepositoryServer.shutdown()); on the client side it depends on my original question: if we want a remote shutdown, we need some general interface like JackrabbitManagedRepository for the client. Otherwise we can remove that interface completely. Alex PS: createWorkspace, node type registration etc. are on a different layer than start/shutdown, so they should be part of the Workspace or Session interface (including authorization) - which is already the case. -- Alexander Klimetschek firstname.lastname@example.com >> Day JCR Cup 08 | Win a MacBook Pro: http://dev.day.com/ <<
