In case you missed it, I posted a list of news, notes and observations from Tuesday's press luncheon here yesterday afternoon. There are many lovely news morsels.
I slipped out to practice soon after posting and got to see Zach Collaros throw a few frozen ropes to Kenbrell Thompkins for touchdowns. Both KT and ZC sure looked in top shape from my angle, however, Kerry Coombs had a slightly different perspective.
Needless to say, Coombs felt free to voice his disappointment. Always entertaining viewing, as long as you are on the sidelines and not under fire.
I did talk to Coombs after practice about a few different topics, one of them being his kicker Tony Miliano, who will be kicking in his first college football game this weekend.
He said some interesting things about the kicking situation and Miliano's promotion.
"We charted every kick in the entire summer. Every time, every hash, every distance, every possible situation. Tony comes out the winner. Tony's got the job. That's really helped Tony, from a confidence standpoint. The other thing is, we have two outstanding other kickers. I won't call them backups because I don't know how things are going to go. I was on the staff when Jake Rogers started off with the yips and all of a sudden we are kicking Brandon Yingling at Oklahoma in front of all those people in a bigtime game."
Indeed, the kicking business is fickle. As big of a deal as we make out of Miliano winning the job -- and I do think he will be given some lead way -- a few bad games and there is plenty of confidence in the kickers behind him.
Quick stat insertion: Seven UC games in the past three seasons have been decided by three points or less.
Let's eat...
--- Did you know you can follow all UC news, videos, etc., on a mobile app. In the words of the Notorious BIG, if you don't know, now you know.
--- The Panthers waived QB Tony Pike yesterday. Carolina was never a good fit for TP. With the drafting of Jimmy Claussen last year and Newton this year, it was a no-brainer those two would receive every rep and opportunity.
Pike's injured right now (elbow), but hopefully he can heal up and get another chance to develop with another franchise.
--- Vidal Hazelton was released by San Diego. He never caught a pass in three preseason games.
--- In better news, LS Mike Windt looks like he kept his job as his competition was cut in San Diego. What a great story. The guy keeps his head down, does his job well and has gone from undrafted free agent to replacing a guy who spent 17 years with the Chargers.
--- Mardy Gilyard is tied for second on the Rams for preseason receptions (6 for 51). He's also been the primary punt returner and kick returner. However, he is very much on the bubble in St. Louis. Here is a post about the pros and cons of keeping Gilyard from ESPN.
He'll be the most interesting UC NFL storyline to watch on cutdown day Saturday.
--- Jason Kelce is now the starting center in Philadelphia. Guy is killing it. I thought he was one of the steals of the draft and all the teams who didn't understand he had mono and that's why he was so light at the combine are kicking themselves for not doing enough research.
Here's the story and video talking with Kelce. JK sporting a strong beard.

Emergency Management B.C. is being lauded for improvements in its reaction time to Saturday's 7.5-level earthquake, which struck off the coastlines of Alaska and B.C.
Last year in October, the emergency service was criticized for its laggardly response to a 7.7-magnitude quake: Their tsunami warnings were issued 39 minutes after the U.S.-based West Coast and Alaska Tsunami and Warning Center sent out their advisory.
But on Saturday, only 11 minutes passed before Emergency Management B.C. issued a tsunami warning via Twitter, a "phenomenal" response time according to Executive Director of Operations, Chris Duffy.
Warnings are sent to the public when the threat of a tsunami exists and the travel time of the presumed wave to any portion of the B.C. coast is believed to be under three hours, according to Emergency Management B.C.'s website.
Cindy Warren, 48, of Prince Rupert, B.C. said at first she thought the earthquake on Saturday was just a truck going by.
"If you've ever been on a moving sidewalk – you know how it kind of undulates up and down – that's what it felt like," said Ms. Warren, adding that the earthquake only lasted about 30 seconds. "It freaked our dog out more than it freaked us out!"
In response to the earthquake, Emergency Management B.C.'s Twitter feed was in heavy use Saturday, with multiple tweets being made per hour to give updates on the status of the tsunami.
The company relied on micro-blogging site during the October earthquake as well, said Mr. Duffy, but staff were more "quick to the gun" this time around.
"With each response, we do a debrief or an after-action review and work to a continuous improvement cycle," he said. "We're always looking to learn and improve."
Emergency Management B.C.'s efforts have also helped elevate earthquake knowledge among citizens, said Mr. Duffy, though notifying British Columbians can be quite a complex process.
As Mr. Duffy described during a phone interview, West Coast and Alaska Warning Center will first notify Emergency Management B.C.'s 24/7 emergency coordination centre.
From there, the staff will make sure the information spreads through social media and that the provincial duty manager, who tapes a voice recording for the provincial emergency notification system, is informed.
Staff members will then make their way to different operation centres, which was done within minutes on Saturday, said Mr. Duffy.
Still, not all residents of B.C. are impressed.
Bonnie Webster of Aldergrove, B.C. remains unhappy with province's way of handling things.
While she does not live in the tsunami zone, she said many places in the province – including Vancouver and Port Alberni – are susceptible to earthquakes, and that a better system needs to be put in place.
"My concern is that unless you have a Twitter feed going or you're listening to the T.V. or something, you don't really hear anything," she said in a phone interview. "I just figure we can do better because, you know…one of these days it's going to be serious and we have plenty of time to practice."
Mr. Duffy, however, is confident that the system in place is an efficient one.
"As long as I'm seeing information going out the door that's reaching the media and social media within minutes – and that local authorities are being phoned by our regional operation centres quickly, again, in minutes – then I'm satisfied," he said.
He added that Saturday's earthquake is a reminder that preparedness at the individual and family level is crucial.Report Typo/Error

BB21: The mechanics of growth and muscle contraction in tissues and organs
|Stephen O'Keeffe
|Team Leader(s):
|Prof. Alain Goriely, Dr Sarah Waters & Dr Derek Moulton
Cylindrical structures are common in many biological systems, from minuscule carbon nanotubes and the cytoskeleton, to blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract [1]. Our goal is to develop a framework to model the behaviour of multi-layered tubular structures subject to large deformations. We focus on the relationship between the growth of tissue layers and the resulting stress distribution. These are important factors to consider when predicting the onset of diseases such as asthma and atherosclerosis, which are characterised by growth and remodelling processes in the walls of airways and arteries, respectively [10/48].
Techniques and Challenges
How do the material properties, applied tractions and geometry of elastic rods influence their critical buckling pressure and mode of buckling? We make use of the theory of incremental deformations to examine their stability. Previous work in this field has considered spherical shells and hollow tubes: we consider 'solid' structures, which include neurons embedded in an elastic matrix and plant stems. For simple material response functions (e.g. neo-Hookean), we obtain the finite deformation exactly, though for more complex functions used to describe soft tissue, numerical schemes must be employed.
We have used a 3-dimensional elasticity approach in order to determine the critical axial growth of a slender elastic filament embedded in an elastic matrix. Using the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) method allows estimation of the critical growth in terms of the material properties of the system. We have also considered the same problem using a rod-theory approach, assuming the matrix behaves as a Winkler foundation. By comparing the two approaches, we have obtained an estimate of the Winkler modulus parameter in terms of measurable properties of the system [13/25].
The Future
In the future, we will use our framework to study a number of biologically-relevant problems. These include the mechanism used by chameleons to project their tongues ballistically to catch prey and vibrations occurring in mammalian whiskers due to interaction with their surrounding environment.

Report: Dell SSD Returns Near 30%
Purav Sanghani
March 19, 2008 2:43 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Research firm calls out one of the largest system makers with 20-30 percent SSD drive failures or performance Issues
Solid-state drives have been all the hype in the last year and touted as holding the potential to beat out traditional hard drives in performance and reliability due to the use of non-volatile NAND flash memory. Though high prices are still typical for PCs shipping with SSDs, that barrier hasn't stopped consumers from getting their hands on a computer or device that features one.
Currently, an upgrade to a 64GB solid-state drive can cost the consumer a premium of $650 or more depending on the computer manufacturer -- a premium many are willing to pay for even the slightest increase in performance. Dell offers a 64GB SSD upgrade from a 250GB 5400RPM drive for about $720 in its XPS flavored notebooks.
A recent study done by Avian Securities, LLC. charges that one of the largest system manufacturers has an SSD failure rate of 20-30%. The study did not specifically state any names or name a system manufacturer as the culprit. However, Dell later confirmed that the reports were about itself, but went on to deny the numbers Avian Securities had come up with.
In a
rebuttal at Direct2Dell.com
, a Dell insider states, "Here's the real story: the 20 - 30% failure and return rates cited by Avian Securities don't even vaguely resemble what's happening in our business. It's also true that Avian did not contact us while doing their research. Said another way, it's just not true."
Avian Securities states that 10-20% of systems from Dell are being sent back to the manufacturer due to technical failure while the rest are returned for reasons of lackluster performance.
The Dell insider goes on to back up the reliability of SSDs in Dell systems compared to traditional hard drives. "Our global reliability data shows that SSD drives are equal to or better than traditional hard disk drives we've shipped. Beyond that, return rates for SSDs are in line with our expectations for new technology and an order of magnitude better than rates reported in the press."
Aside from the Direct2Dell blog rebuttal, there has been no official statement from Dell regarding Avian Securities' claims. Dell hasn't published any numbers regarding the actual return rates of machines with defective or low performing SSDs.

Thinking the unthinkable
Published: 28 November, 2012
A full scale exercise for a terrorist attack on a shopping centre pushed the security team to find new ways of working.
Under Operation Argus shopping centre security teams are trained to act as the eyes and ears of the anti-terrorist system, keeping a lookout for potential terrorists carrying out surveillance ahead of an attack. But how many train for how they would react if the attack actually took place?
CastleCourt in Belfast did precisely that. Hermes and Westfield's Security manager Stewart McConnell led a year-long programme to train his security officers in the way the emergency services would deal with a major incident at the centre. He points out that the Mumbai attack, the Oklahoma bombing and the Oslo massacre showed that public spaces can be vulnerable to determined – and even suicidal – attackers.
CastleCourt worked on the scenario of a lone gunman entering the centre and opening fire on shoppers. "We looked at what were the vulnerabilities and worked with the police," says McConnell. The training took place in two phases – a desk-top exercise in 2010 leading on to a full-scale rehearsal in the centre in 2011.
"The first responders are obviously the uniformed police, who we know well, but if it's a prolonged event it's a matter for armed police – and it's escalated to a higher command," says McConnell. "The exercise was all about the centre team and the emergency services getting to know the way each other works."
He says this worked both ways, and the exercise was as much about training the emergency services as training the centre team. "We looked at how we'd deal with someone coming into the centre and shooting people, and we asked what would be the expectations placed on our security team, and what could they expect from the police?"
McConnell says the aim – apart from giving the emergency services the opportunity to train in a real-life scenario - was to test the centre's procedures. "Obviously you can't prepare for everything, but it gave us an insight into what might happen," he says. "For example how do you evacuate the centre? You don't want to send people into harm's way so perhaps it's better to go for a partial evacuation."
And there were clear benefits for both sides. "Our team learned a lot, and the police say they took a lot away from it," McConnell says, "So much so that we're looking at repeating it in the future."
On the day of the full-scale exercise – which took place while the centre was closed – the aim was to make the incident as realistic as possible, with volunteers playing the roles of casualties, hostages and the assailant.
"The police had access to all areas of the centre while we split into four teams so everybody – security staff as well as centre management – saw all aspects of the police activity," McConnell recalls.
So what were the key lessons of the exercise? "The most important thing is to record why you made the decisions you did," McConnell says. "The police will be looking for the CCTV and the notes made by the team because the centre has become a crime scene and a year later you could be in court giving evidence. You're going to be scrutinised for making certain decisions and you need to be able to recall and justify those decisions."
McConnell believes that, while the chances of such a major attack are minimal, the training exercise had real benefits. "We need to exercise and be building up those relationships so casualties could be kept to a minimum. We learned that our actions at those times could save lives."

In the breaking news department (that's an overstatement if I've ever made one), although it's the weekend I thought I'd stop in to share this super quick probably-interesting-to-no-one-but-me dining room update. Remember a few days back when I made our new curtains? And the table looked like this? Well, now it looks like this: Can you already tell the difference? Here, I'll get a little closer. Yeah, the branches died. Probably because I didn't even put water in the vase. Oops. How quickly the dream dies. Well, at least when the dream is lush leafy green branches that survive on love alone.

The Elephant In The Room
This post is just about a weird decorating related dream I had. Nothing more, nothing less. Oh yeah and I think it means I'm a teeeny bit strange. Just a smidge. Anyway, in my dream there was this new decorating trend that was sweeping the nation and it was called "The Elephant In The Room" and it basically meant that a bunch of big scmancy designers (this was possibly spurned by watching Million Dollar Decorators before bed) decided that every room needed "a dash of elephant." Kind of like how they say every room needs "a little bit of black" or "something unexpected." So they were all encouraging people to subtly work an elephant figurine
Hot, Sticky, & Thankful
**Psst- We know most Fridays we just post once, but today we'll be back in a few hours with one more post for ya. Just because we kind of like (ok, kind of love) you guys. Yup, it's time again for our monthly "thanks y'all!" to our sponsors for helping us keep this ol' blog up and running (and making our other 30-some posts possible). So although we're doused in perspiration thanks to all of the hot weather, we're also pretty soaked with appreciation for these folks. Hence the title. As usual, we're sharing specific items that catch our eye – not that we've been gifted anything (here's our no-swag policy). And of course there

And by whole shebang I mean the part where Will went to the bathroom in the tub (numero dos) while bathing with Clara. And how Jeremy and John accidentally wore the same exact beverage themed shirt on Sunday… She also touched on our pedicure adventures… … and mountaintop enjoyment… It's all here (update: just remember to click over later or tomorrow since her blog is giving

Like, mehaps, a road trip? That seems to be the way it goes with us. When it comes to house progress, we tend to work in fits and starts. But then something sparks that get-back-to-business excitement and suddenly we're done with our four-ish day Hammer And Paint Brush Hiatus and are refreshed and ready to go. Yeah,

So we're happy to bask in the inspirational eye candy (and pass it along to you guys of course). As we mentioned in yesterdays post, this gorgeous home is located in Charlotte, NC. So on with the tour. Here's the charming exterior: And here are Jennifer and her sweet six week old daughter Eleanor to let us in: Here's the gorgeous view that greets you when
We Came, We Saw, We Bought Stuff
Earlier this morning we mentioned that we slipped through Mary Jo's fabric store outside of Charlotte, NC again (read about our first trip here) where they have bolts of discount fabric stacked higher than my 5'2″ self. We thought it would be fun to share what caught our eye along with what we actually bought since some of you guys might be on a fabric pilgrimage of your own. And the good news is that a lot of this fabric should be sold by multiple places (although MJ's prices are hard to beat) so if you see something you love, I've tried to include as many details as possible so you can sleuth it out
Sneaky Little Petersiks
S'prise. We've been on the road for the past five days and just got home last night at 7pm after a nine hour drive. Did we unpack or snuggle up to Karl the Sectional after our home sweet home arrival? Nah, we threw this post together. Just your typical case of "unpacking procrastination" at its finest. Actually I'm just dying to fill you guys in on our adventures, and typical annoyingly energetic gal that I am, I'm too excited to relax. Anyway, we headed out early Thursday morning for Charlotte, NC and stayed there through Saturday morning. Then it was off to Loganville, GA where we remained until early Monday morning when we hit the

Hating The Scale
Nope, this isn't a weight loss post. The scale that I'm talking is this too small had-it-so-we-used-it bookshelf that we shoved into the guest room (just days before my mom arrived) a few months back. Talk about teeny tiny: And somehow we forgot to update you guys about a little switcheroo that took place after we got our new (well, very old) dresser for the bedroom from John's dad. So here's a very belated dresser related news flash: we moved our old malm (from Ikea five years ago when we moved to Richmond from NYC) into the guest room. So it looked like this: The scale is definitely better. Someday we'd love to get a
Gift Idea: A Custom Wooden House Replica For Mom & Dad
As of last week, my parents officially live in Richmond. This rocks for several reasons (free babysitting) so we're excited to have them (as free babysitters) just about 15 minutes down the road (close enough to easily babysit for free). Plus, you'll probably get some peeks at their new digs as they settle in (between babysitting jobs) and as we help them tackle some projects around their house (perhaps in exchange for all of the free babysitting). And if you follow us on Flickr, you've noticed that we wasted no time breaking in their community pool as soon as the moving truck was returned: Three days after closing on their new house, my parents also
How To Make A Wood Plaque With A Number Or Letter On It
I like to consider our hallway frame wall a constant "work in progress" since the art in the frames can be swapped out at anytime. But there was at least one element that was less a "work in progress" and more an "um, you're not going to leave it that way, are you?" Can you spot it? Yep, it's the placeholder photostrip in the center. We didn't have a frame to fit that slot at the time, so we figured down the line we'd cut a piece of wood, paint it white and mount the strip on something more officially looking than, well, a piece of office paper held up with painter's tape (oh the
Getting Sandy
We snuck off to the beach over Memorial Day weekend to spend some time with John's family (at their amazing beach house near Bethany Beach, Delaware) so we thought we'd share our house-related adventures. A while back a reader (thanks Ann!) recommended checking out The Old Screen Door in Lewes (about 30 mins from Bethany), so we took a drive out there and it was the cutest little town (which boasts that it was the first town in the first state). Here's the front of the shop: It's not very big inside, but there's a collection of really fun old stuff going on (mixed with some new stuff to keep things interesting). And Clara loves
How To Dye Fabric Chair Slipcovers
Remember how we envisioned modern and cheerful green leather parsons chairs around a chunky wood table from pretty much the moment we moved in? And how we decided that dyed-green slipcovers were pretty much the same thing when we found chairs for $25 and slipcovers for $23? Well, we were wrong. I dyed two of the chairs green and they were just not "it" (even if we altered the shade of green, we just knew it was the wrong way to go for us as soon as we saw these babies): Especially considering that there would be seven or eight of them around the table at all times (and we have the bold built-ins going

Updated for 2016
FIND KOGNITIO AT STRATA+HADOOP WORLD 2016 br> STAND / BOOTH #429
Come and say hello and tell us your Hadoop analytics war stories, we are located on booth/stand #429
We have a discount code for attendees wanting to register for this event. Discount code is "Kognitio20".
We look forward to seeing you.More Event Details
Big data and business professionals are gathering in New York this week to hear about the latest innovations in the sector and learn how they can get more out of their information at the Strata + Hadoop World conference.
The event is a sellout and thousands of data scientists and IT executives will hear three days of tutorials, sessions and keynote speeches between October 28th and 30th. And among the presenters will be Kognitio, which is an sponsor of the event.
Therefore, as well as exhibiting our in-memory computing solutions to assist business conduct real-time analytics and greatly improve the speed of data processing, big data advocate and chief innovation officer Paul Groom will be leading a session. This takes place on Wednesday (October 30th) and will explain why companies should be looking at in-memory as a way to make the most of Hadoop.
Understanding how best to implement this technology will be essential for any data-intensive businesses in the coming years. With the general availability release of version 2 of Hadoop this month, the platform is now ready for widespread adoption into production environments. As a result, organizations that are unable to gain insight from the information they gather will be at a disadvantage compared with those that understand how to make their data work for them and are able to get results quickly.
This means companies need to intelligently engineer Hadoop into existing mature business intelligence in order to support agile business practices, Mr Groom says. He adds that at present, many business users move too slowly and adopt new tools too far behind the curve to keep up with the innovation in the Hadoop community.
Mr Groom's session will explain how businesses can protect Hadoop clusters from the demands of business intelligence use, as well as how they can ensure their system is able to cope with the most complex queries.
One of the key factors to understand will be that Hadoop does not exist in a vacuum. Many key applications in today's business environment speak in SQL, so it is vital these are able to communicate with Hadoop solutions.
"A modern data platform will act as a Logical Data Warehouse to 'bridge' Hadoop with the legacy systems and connect it to existing visualization and dashboard tools for reporting and advanced analytics," Mr Groom said. Adding Hadoop to an IT network should be seen as an evolution of capabilities and building on what is already in place, rather than trying to "reinvent the wheel".
His session at Strata + Hadoop World New York will also seek to help businesses understand how they can extend Hadoop with in-memory processing in order to get faster results. This is increasingly important for many organizations, as end-users are now demanding high performance, with expectations for Google-like query speeds.
This is not something that a standard Hadoop deployment can meet, as it does not fully exploit all cores with 100 percent effective work. However, in-memory can deliver this, as this approach drives cores to complete queries in seconds rather than minutes or hours.

I highly doubt they would call a child "buckwheat" but that office is corrupt.
Spouse and I went there, with our VSP plan. Dr Martinez told my spouse who was a contact wearer, that she could not fill his contact cause something was wrong with his eyes. My ex really needed that prescription.
Anyway long story short, went to Inland Eye Care, paid out of our pocket and got the prescription we needed, nothing wrong with spouses eyes.
NOW to the insurance , the reason why we had to pay out of pocket is because DR Martinez office USED up ALL our insurance JUST on two eye exams. Some how my spouses eye exam was billed as something special she had to do and treat. SHE did NOTHING!
#24 Mar 28, 2011
Actually Dancin donut Dr Navarro.( Not Martinez) is rude an has and did make very inappropriate comments regarding patients.
I quit due to the insurance issues like yours. Vsp has been contacted and is gngto finally put a end to this.
#25 Apr 17, 2011
Oh my never again very bad place. New people do not know anything will not go again.
#26 Apr 18, 2011
They still haven't got busted yet? They should be closed down by now...
#27 Apr 19, 2011
The first and last time I went there three weeks a go, I was insulted by the staff there. From the beginning I was being snickard at. They eventually call me into the room and told me to sit in the chair. The chair was too small for my large size woman behind. It was embarassing for me cause my hips were wedged into the chair and some of me were hanging over the edge. One girl began to laugh so loud that it brought others into the room and they all began to laugh. I tried to get up out of the chair but it took two of them to pull me out. I will never go back there.
#28 Apr 20, 2011
Alice wow really that is terrible. Did you tell the doctor?
#29 May 7, 2011
Hemet eye care also has a second location in Redlands (Orange plaza optometry)
this place is worse then Hemet eye care.
#30 May 25, 2011
If you are all looking for an eye doctor that is really great, go see Dr. Chrisman with Hemet Eye Care Associates.
My family and I have been going there for probably about 10 years. I have 3 children that all wear glasses and Dr. Chrisman is great with them!
#31 May 29, 2011
THE saga of HEMET Eye Care continues...
I just HAD to write this because it is so outlandish!!
We have not been back to HEMET Eye Care since August /10.
WE get a call THursday/5/26 to come PICK up glasses we had ordered. We had cancelled that order, because of the treatment we had gotten at Hemet Eye Care. THEY convinced us we might as well come get them, because OUR Insurance had already been BILLED for them and they had been sitting in that office for 7 months!!! Can YOU flipping believe it??
So we went and got them, and we paid nothing ...BUT NO one worked there, that was there when we went last August. In fact we told them our story, and one guy said, I have only been working here a few days.
So after the holidays I am contacting VSP and let them know of MORE problems. Make sure they have not charged these glasses against this years policy.
SO PLEASE do not go to HEMET EYE CARE!! They are not what they seem to be... and really do not need to be in business in the valley.
#32 May 30, 2011
Cal Eye pros is by far the best in Hemet.
#33 Jun 4, 2011
Dancin donut hemet eye care on morton??
#34 Jun 5, 2011
Yes the Hemet Eye Care on Morton.
#35 Sep 16, 2011
Where can you go in Hemet and get honest doctors and affordable glasses? Not here.
#36 Jan 5, 2012
Where is the woman doc? What happened?
#37 Feb 7, 2012
What happen I guess it's true about these Doctors, they can not take V S P insur. Any more only out of network. And the women Doctor has not been in, what dose that say about this Business. This office needs to close for good.
#38 Apr 3, 2012
Are they still open? Is dr Martinez even there anymore?
#39 Sep 16, 2012
#40 Sep 18, 2012
yes I know Mr.Navarro was our eye doctor, he's really cold and not good with children, not a good eye doctor.
#41 Sep 18, 2012

For disgruntlement, look north of the border.
Bob Gansler has left Toronto FC after serving a season as Mo Johnston's assistant, the duties of which apparently included actually coaching the team.
According to sources, Gansler objected to serving as de facto head coach without appropriate authority and compensation. With Johnston and Gansler often at impasse, Johnston's other assistant, Mike Matkovich, ran the training sessions.
A source also said certain nuances of the modern game, like defending set plays and tactical adjustments, only occasionally were addressed by Johnston, who may have indeed envisioned himself as a "manager" delegating most of the training duties to his assistant coaches.
However, if this was to be the case, it was not declared to Gansler, who left his post as soon as the season ended. And in any case, the head coach or the manager or whatever his title decides on strategy.
During the season, TFC management announced it had exercised the option on Johnston's contract. The team's rough inaugural season (6-17-7) and impotent attack (25 goals in 30 matches) didn't dissuade fans from flocking to BMO Field, where TFC's average attendance of 20,130 ranked third in the league.
Johnston hit it off with the TFC fans. Pub crawls, fan fests, public appearances; Johnston seldom missed a chance to connect with Toronto's rabid, red-clad rowdies.
He provided the media with punchy quotes and snappy sound bites, and in perhaps the most European city in North America -- with a generous layering of Scottish supporters -- the first run of Trader Mo played well.
But as per tactical decisions, personnel choices and deployment, and general coaching savvy, Johnston, like his team, went through growing pains. Whoever follows Gansler as his running mate had best heed any employment-related issues before, not after, the fact.
A fantastic fan base in a great city deserves inspiration and dedication from top to bottom.

Ravens way of Rivers in rematch with Chargers
Associated Press | Last updated November 21, 2012
SAN DIEGO - DECEMBER 20: Quarterback Philip Rivers #17 of the San Diego Chargers throws a pass against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 20, 2009 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)
The Baltimore Ravens usually have a tough time against San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. Fortunately, they won't have to face him Sunday without safety Ed Reed as the last line of defense. Reed, an eight-time Pro Bowl star, was suspended for one game on Monday for repeated helmet-to-helmet hits. He appealed the suspension and on Tuesday the punishment was reduced to a $50,000 fine. Which means Reed will be on the field when the Ravens (8-2) take on Rivers, who has thrown for 955 yards and six TDs in his last three starts against Baltimore. Last year, he was 17 for 23 for 270 yards in a 34-14 win. Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs says, ''Last year wasn't that pleasant. ... It was like raining touchdowns out there.''

Need some help on my thoughts about adding a sub to factory system.
Hello all!
I have a 2005 Limited with the RAQ radio. I have already upgraded the speakers and amp with the Kicker Audio Upgrade components. I was wanting to add a JL Stealthbox and power it with a JL JX500/1D amplifier. The JX500/1D comes with a High-Level Input connector that connects right to the amp.
My thought was to add the Stealthbox and let it handle the bass, and then use the door speakers to handle mids and highs. The question I am having is is it possible with the setup I was going to do? The only EQ I will have is on the HU, meaning that if I turn down the bass (for the door speakers) won't I also be turning down the signal to the amp?
I will be getting the remote bass control for the amp as well. If I turn down the bass on the HU, will I be able to just turn up the gain and bass knob and still have a clean sound?
I am not sure if I have explained everything that well but I hope you get what I am asking.
Basically I want to have the door speakers handle mids and highs, and the Stealthbox handle the bass.
Thanks for any help!
Sounds like what I did... HU equalizer controls my subs bass, withought affecting my mid speaker bass (too much). Here's what I did.....
Removed panel to get to the amp.
Tap into right rear and left rear speaker wires AFTER the amp.
Run these leads to your high level inputs on subs amp.
Connect rest of amp (power, switch, and sub) as usual.
Now for your HU...
BEFORE sub is turned on, adjust your HU equalizers bass to the range that you want your mid speakers to perform.
Now turn on sub and amp, adjust your amps input level and gain to desired settings.
Viola! You're done!
This setting will not let you control ONLY your sub with the HU equalizer, but you will find that turning up the bass with the equalizer has BIG affects on the sub, but minimal affects on the mid range speakers. Hope this helps.
just as a template, I set my equalizers bass to -2, adjusted my amps sub to a balanced level of in-cabin bass. When I turn my bass up to +2, or even just zero, my sub hits MUCH harder... yet is hardly noticeable on my mid range speakers.
Good Luck!
Re: Need some help on my thoughts about adding a sub to factory system.
Thanks for the response. This is kind of what I was thinking would happen. It should work but my only concern is if someone else (passenger) adjusts the bass on the HU and blows up the sub. :)
Haha Thats why I established the "co-pilot law".... You can only touch the radio if I declare you the co-pilot, meaning that you understand the rules of the radio ( ie: the songs I like, and the settings I prefer) my lady is a pro now:)
I can also tell you... power and ground a quality sub properly, and you would have a hard time ever blowing it... You will blow a fuze way before that happens, a $2 fix at most.

Planning Underway for Toccoa Christmas Parade
Plans are well underway for this year's Toccoa Christmas Parade.
The Toccoa Woman's Club is once again organizing the parade.
Toccoa Woman's Club President Bonnie Sparks said that it will again take place the first Saturday in December.
"This year, our theme is 'Christmas in the South'," said Sparks. "It is going to be Saturday, December 7 at 4 p.m. We will be lining up on Doyle Street in front of Regions Bank."
For those organizations wanting to enter this year's parade, the club is accepting applications now.
Sparks said anyone who is interested can pick up those applications at a number of different locations.
"Applications can be picked up at Next to Me Medical Supplies, the Head Quarters Salon, or you can download them off of the Chamber of Commerce website," said Sparks. "We are asking that applications be returned by November 30th."
Sparks said those applications can either be returned in person to the Head Quarters Salon on Currahee Street, or mailed to Bonnie Sparks at 450 East Currahee Street, Toccoa, Georgia, 30577.
For those entering the parade, display numbers will be available at the Head Quarters Salon starting on December 5 and continuing through 2 p.m. on December 6 or at the front of Regions Bank on the day of the parade.
For more information on this year's Toccoa Christmas Parade, contact Bonnie Sparks at 706-716-0490.

The present invention generally relates to data communications over a power distribution system and more particularly, to a multi-subnet power line communications system and method of using the same.
Well-established power distribution systems exist throughout most of the United States, and other countries, which provide power to customers via power lines. With some modification, the infrastructure of the existing power distribution systems can be used to provide data communication in addition to power delivery, thereby forming a power line communication system (PLCS). In other words, existing power lines that already have been run to many homes and offices, can be used to carry data signals to and from the homes and offices. These data signals are communicated on and off the power lines at various points in the power line communication system, such as, for example, near homes, offices, Internet service providers, and the like.
Power system transformers are one obstacle to using power distribution lines for data communication. Transformers act as a low-pass filter, passing the low frequency (e.g., the 50 or 60 Hz) power signals and impeding the high frequency signals (e.g., frequencies typically used for data communication). As such, power line communication systems face the challenge of communicating the data signals around, or through, the distribution transformers. In the past, power line communications systems typically have installed a bypass device at each transformer. However, such installations can be expensive and time consuming.
Thus, there is a need for a power line communications system that does not require installing a network element at each utility pole or at each distribution transformer, that can ensure the safety of the power distribution system, and provide reliable communications. These and other advantages may be provided by various embodiments of the present invention.
The present invention provides a system that includes low voltage power line subnet coupler that provides bi-directional communications between multiple power line subnets while substantially preventing the flow of the power signal. The system may include a power line communications device coupled to a first LV power line subnet, and a low voltage power line subnet coupler providing a data communications path between the first low voltage power line subnet and a second low voltage power line subnet. Additionally, some embodiments of the system may include a low voltage repeater communicatively coupled to the second LV power line subnet.
The invention is further described in the detailed description that follows, by reference to the noted drawings by way of non-limiting illustrative embodiments of the invention, in which like reference numerals represent similar parts throughout the drawings. As should be understood, however, the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown. In the drawings:
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular networks, communication systems, computers, terminals, devices, components, techniques, data and network protocols, software products and systems, operating systems, development interfaces, hardware, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention.
However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. Detailed descriptions of well-known networks, communication systems, computers, PLCS, terminals, devices, components, techniques, data and network protocols, software products and systems, operating systems, development interfaces, and hardware are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention.
As shown in
In addition to HV transmission lines, power distribution systems include MV power lines and LV power lines. As discussed, MV typically ranges from about 1000 V to about 100 kV and LV typically ranges from about 100 V to about 800 V. Transformers are used to convert between the respective voltage portions, e.g., between the HV section and the MV section and between the MV section and the LV section. Transformers have a primary side for connection to a first voltage (e.g., the MV section) and a secondary side for outputting another (usually lower) voltage (e.g., the LV section). Such transformers are often referred to as distribution transformers or as step down transformers, because they "step down" the voltage to some lower voltage. Transformers, therefore, provide voltage conversion for the power distribution system. Thus, power is carried from substation transformer to a distribution transformer over one or more MV power lines. Power is carried from the distribution transformer to the customer premises via one or more LV power lines.
In addition, a distribution transformer may function to distribute one, two, three, or more phase voltages to the customer premises, depending upon the demands of the user. In the United States, for example, these local distribution transformers typically feed anywhere from one to ten homes, depending upon the concentration of the customer premises in a particular area. Distribution transformers may be pole-top transformers located on a utility pole, pad-mounted transformers located on the ground, or transformers located under ground level.
Power Line Communication System
One example of a portion of a conventional PLCS is shown in
In this embodiment, the BD 100 provides communication services for the user, which may include security management, routing of Internet Protocol (IP) packets, filtering data, access control, service level monitoring, signal processing and modulation/demodulation of signals transmitted over the power lines.
This example portion of a PLCS also includes a backhaul point 10. The backhaul point 10 is an interface and gateway between a portion of a PLCS (e.g., an MV run) and a traditional non-power line telecommunications network. One or more backhaul points (BP) 10 are communicatively coupled to an aggregation point (AP) 20 that in many embodiments may be at (e.g., co-located with), or connected to, the point of presence to the Internet. The BP 10 may be connected to the AP 20 using any available mechanism, including fiber optic conductors, T-carrier, Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), or wireless techniques well known to those skilled in the art. Thus, the BP 10 may include a transceiver suited for communicating through the communication medium.
The PLCS also may include a power line server (PLS) that is a computer system with memory for storing a database of information about the PLCS and includes a network element manager (NEM) that monitors and controls the PLCS. The PLS allows network operations personnel to provision users and network equipment, manage customer data, and monitor system status, performance and usage. The PLS may reside at a remote network operations center (NOC), and/or at a PLCS Point of Presence (POP), to oversee a group of communication devices via the Internet. The PLS may provide an Internet identity to the network devices by assigning the devices (e.g., user devices, BDs 100, (e.g., the LV modems and MV modems of BDs), BPs 10, and AP 20) IP addresses and storing the IP addresses and other device identifying information (e.g., the device's location, address, serial number, etc.) in its memory. In addition, the PLS may approve or deny user devices authorization requests, command status reports, statistics and measurements from the BDs, and BPs, and provide application software upgrades to the communication devices (e.g., BDs, BPs, and other devices). The PLS, by collecting electric power distribution information and interfacing with utilities' back-end computer systems may provide enhanced power distribution services such as automated meter reading, outage detection, restoration detection, load balancing, distribution automation, Volt/Volt-Amp Reactance (Volt/VAr) management, and other similar functions. The PLS also may be connected to one or more APs and/or core routers directly or through the Internet and therefore can communicate with any of the BDs, user devices, and BPs through the respective AP and/or core router.
The PLCS may further include indoor low voltage repeaters and outdoor low voltage repeaters. Indoor low voltage repeaters may be plugged into a wall socket inside the customer premises. Outdoor low voltage repeaters may be coupled to the external low voltage power line conductors extending from the transformer and therefore, be located between the customer premises and the BD 100. Both the indoor low voltage repeaters and outdoor low voltage repeaters repeat data on the low voltage power line to extend the communication range of the BD 100 and power line modem.
At the user end of the PLCS of this example system, data flow originates from a user device, which provides the data to a power line modem (PLM) 50, which is well-known in the art.
The user device connected to the PLM 50 may be any device capable of supplying data for transmission (or for receiving such data) including, but not limited to a computer, a telephone, a telephone answering machine, a fax, a digital cable box (e.g., for processing digital audio and video, which may then be supplied to a conventional television and for transmitting requests for video programming), a video game, a stereo, a videophone, a television (which may be a digital television), a video recording device (which may be a digital video recorder), a home network device, a utility meter, or other device. The PLM 50 transmits the data received from the user device through the LV power lines to a BD 100 and provides data received from the LV power line to the user device. The PLM 50 may also be integrated with the user device, which may be a computer. In addition, the functions of the PLM may be integrated into a smart utility meter such as a gas meter, electric meter, water meter, or other utility meter to thereby provide automated meter reading (AMR).
The BD 100 typically receives data from the user devices coupled to its LV power line subnet and then transmits the data to (and receives the data from) the backhaul point 10, which, in turn, transmits the data to (and receives the data from) the AP 20. The AP 20 then transmits the data to (and receives the data from) the appropriate destination (perhaps via a core router), which may be a network destination (such as an Internet address) in which case the packets are transmitted to, and pass through, numerous routers (herein routers are meant to include both network routers and switches) in order to arrive at the desired destination. A more detailed description of an example PLCS is provided in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/641,689 filed Aug. 14, 2003, issued Dec. 27. 2005 as U.S. Pat. No. 6,980,091, entitled "Power Line Communication System and Method of Operating the Same," which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The present invention may be used with networks as described in the above patent application or others. Thus, the invention is not limited to a particular PLCS, PLCS architecture, or topology.
Referring to
Similarly, BD 100 b is coupled to backhaul point 10 via the MV power line and also coupled to LV power line subnet 61 b to provide communications to the user devices coupled thereto. In this example, LV power line subnet 61 b includes the LV power lines coupled to distribution transformer 60 b. One or more of the customer premises receiving power via LV power line subnet 61 b may include one or more PLMs 50 and the associated user devices connected thereto such as, for example, at CP 119 c, 119 d, and 119 e. As will be evident to those skilled in the art, the operator of this conventional PLCS system typically must install a BD 100 for each LV power line subnet.
An example implementation of an embodiment of the present invention is shown in
In this example embodiment, LV power line subnet coupler 201 may include a fuse and high pass filter for each data path to permit the flow of data between the two LV power line subnets and to substantially prevent the flow of the power signals between the two LV power line subnets.
Often LV power lines include more than one energized power line conductor.
While the system of
The BD 100 described herein, which is an example embodiment of the present invention, provides bi-directional communications and includes the functional block diagram shown in
In one embodiment, the BDs 100 transmit the data signals differentially onto the two LV energized conductors so that the data signals on the two energized conductors are substantially equal in magnitude and opposite in polarity. A detailed description of differentially transmitting data signals over multiple energized conductors and associated circuitry is provided in the incorporated reference."
In the above example embodiment, the two LV power line subnets traverse near the same utility pole. In other instances, the two LV power lines may be one, two or more poles apart and the LV power line coupler 201 may include a length of conductors for connecting the two subnets. For example, in addition to the components listed above, the LV power line subnet coupler may include a length of coaxial cable and a balun (e.g., for providing impedance matching) to connect two LV power line subnets that are distal from each other. Also, while the LV power line coupler 201 of the above example is a passive device, in another embodiment a LV rower line subnet coupler 201 a (see
Finally, the type of data signals communicated via the MV and LV power lines be any suitable type of data signal. The type of signal modulation used can be any suitable signal modulation used in communications (Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiplex (FDM), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM), and the like). OFDM may be used for one or both of the LV and MV power lines, including HomePlug 1.0 or AV data signals. A modulation scheme producing a wideband signal such as CDMA or OFDM that is relatively flat in the spectral domain may be used to reduce radiated interference to other systems while still delivering high data communication rates.
In addition, instead of using OFDM signals on the MV power line or LV power line, an alternate embodiment of a PLCS system may use ultra wideband signals to provide communications over the MV and/or LV power lines.
It is to be understood that the foregoing illustrative embodiments have been provided merely for the purpose of explanation and are in no way to be construed as limiting of the invention. Words used herein are words of description and illustration, rather than words of limitation. In addition, the advantages and objectives described herein may not be realized by each and every embodiment practicing the present invention. Further, although the invention has been described herein with reference to particular structure, materials and/or embodiments, the invention is not intended to be limited to the particulars disclosed herein. Rather, the invention extends to all functionally equivalent structures, methods and uses, such as are within the scope of the appended claims. Those skilled in the art, having the benefit of the teachings of this specification, may affect numerous modifications thereto and changes may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

Island School of Design (RISD) is pleased to welcome Cathy Davidson as part of
its Mapping Learning series. Davidson
will present Education 2.0 on
Tuesday, March 11 at 7:00PM in the Metcalf Auditorium, Chace Center (20 N.
Main, Providence RI).
is co-founder of
Humanities, Arts, Sciences and Technology Advanced Collaboratory (HASTAC –
"haystack"), a virtual network of more than 8,000 innovators worldwide inspired
by the possibilities of new technologies for shaping how we learn, teach,
communicate, create and organize our local and global communities. She is also the
author of Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform
the Way We Live, Work and Learn.
Dr. Davidson teaches at Duke University, where she holds the positions
of John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute Professor of Interdisciplinary
Studiesand Ruth F. Devarney Professor of
Mapping Learning, a year-long series of
public talks, panels and workshops, provides opportunities for faculty,
students and staff to reflect on the changing contexts of teaching and learning
at RISD – and in the world. The series is designed to foster discussion about
how RISD's institutional and disciplinary traditions shape specific types of
understanding, identity and practice, and how evolving theories of cognition,
participation or "unlearning" spark new approaches to education.
"Our rapidly changing economy and
culture, and advances in technology, are posing serious challenges for higher
education," states RISD Interim President Rosanne Somerson. "This series demonstrates
our continued commitment to innovative teaching and examines how RISD's
rigorous and immersive approach to art and design education is adapting to new
conditions while reinforcing the value and importance of experiential learning
and 'critical making'."
"We are
pleased that diverse Mapping Learning
events have provided opportunities for our community to come together to
reflect critically about a RISD education," notes interim Dean of Liberal Arts
Daniel Cavicchi, who organized the series with Dean of Foundation Studies
Joanne Stryker. "We are very excited that Cathy Davidson is coming to campus,
especially since she will have just led an extraordinary 14,000-person MOOC
experiment called The History and Future of (Mostly) Higher Education. Her provocative thinking – rooted
in her pioneering work on the history of reading – continues to cultivate
shared inquiry and debate among all of us who care about education."
Fall 2013 Mapping Learningevents
included a public panel on the past, present and future of art schools; a
faculty discussion on critique as a pedagogical practice led by Woodrow Wilson
Fellow Paula Crawford, professor at George Mason; a workshop on departmental
assessment with Barbara Walvoord; a lecture by evolutionary neurobiologist Mark
Changizi, How to Nature-Harness an Ape
Brain for the Arts; and a presentation by RISD faculty and staff who
attended the national conference New Paradigms
in Teaching and Learning sponsored by the Association of Independent
Colleges of Art and Design.
Spring 2014 events kick off on February 25 with RISD's Global Classroom, a panel discussion
on the multiple perspectives,
opportunities and challenges involved in developing new global learning
RISD's mission is to educate its
students and the public in the creation and appreciation of works of art and
design, to discover and transmit knowledge and to make lasting contributions to
a global society through critical thinking, scholarship and innovation. Located
in Providence, RI, RISD enrolls approximately 2,400 undergraduate and graduate
students from around the world who choose among 22 degree programs. RISD's academic
departments are organized in five divisions: Architecture + Design, Fine Arts,
Foundation Studies, Graduate Studies and Liberal Arts.
All Mapping Learning events are free and
open to the public, including Davidson's talk on March 11.
