The present invention pertains generally to magnetic tape drives, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for preventing tape slack between the capstan and takeup reel in a tape drive by adaptively controlling the tape tension between the capstan and takeup reel.
Tape storage technology is routinely used for routine system back up and long-term data archiving. Conventional tape storage devices rely on some form of tape motion control to transport the tape across a magnetic head as it moves between the supply reel and take-up reel of the tape drive.
The most common form of tape motion control is accomplished via a capstan assembly. In this type of system, the tape is pinched between a rotating capstan and a pinch roller during normal read/write operation. The force of the pinch roller against the portion of the tape contacting the capstan causes enough frictional force to move the tape as the capstan rotates. During a normal read/write operation, a takeup reel motor is also engaged to rotate the takeup reel in a direction to receive the tape passing across the capstan from the supply reel. The tension of the tape in the tape path between the capstan and takeup reel is affected by the rotational speed of the capstan in relation to the rotational speed of the takeup reel.
Tape tension control is achieved by monitoring both capstan tachometers and reel tachometers. Reel tachometers provide speed feedback information for each reel, which is used by the tape drive controller to control the reel speed. Reel motor voltage/current measurements are monitored by the controller and used to control the reel motor voltage/current in order to control the tape tension between the capstan and takeup reel during forward movement of the tape and between the capstan and supply reel during backward movement of the tape. The capstan tachometer provides speed information about the capstan. It is used by tape controller to verify proper direction and speed control of the capstan motor.
The tape tension between the capstan and reels can be derived with knowledge of the relationship between the amount of tape on each of the supply and takeup reels. Because the amount of tape on each of the supply and takeup reels continuously changes as the tape moves from one reel to the other, the radius of the amount of tape on the supply and takeup reels must be continuously calculated. The radii calculations are based upon the capstan and reel tachs. Because the relationship between a given reel tach and the position of the tape is not linear (due to the non-linear relationship between the radius of tape on a reel and the linear position of the tape), the reel radii calculations are also nonlinear. This calculation is typically handled by reel tension control circuitry. During manufacturing, the values of the reel motor voltage/currents for the calibrated tensions are set, typically by storing them in non-volatile storage. When the drive is running, the reel tension control circuitry outputs a voltage control signal to the reel motors. The voltage control signal changes based upon the radii and the measured amplifier voltage.
Tape slack can occur for a variety of reasons. Generally, the reel motor voltage/current is calibrated at the time of manufacture to a fixed voltage/current level. As the tape drive ages, the calibrated reel motor voltage/current value often becomes inadequate due to changes in tape binding, temperature, or friction.
Prior art methods of maintaining correct tension between the capstan and reels as the reel radii vary and as the drive temperature or power supply voltages fluctuate have required active tension sensors and dual reel motors or slip clutches in the supply and takeup hubs. Both techniques are costly in terms of occupying valuable circuit board space, and requiring additional components, additional circuit complexity, and additional drive assembly and test time. In addition, slip clutches tend to provide inconsistent tension from unit to unit and over the life of the tape drive.
Accordingly, a need exists for a more precise and less costly technique for controlling the tape tension between the capstan and tape reels. It would be desirable that this technique operated consistently from tape drive unit to tape drive unit and over temperature and voltage variations. Furthermore, it would be desirable to have such a technique without requiring additional components.
The present invention is a novel method and apparatus for precisely controlling the tape tension between the capstan and tape reels. In particular, the present invention allows tape tension control that is consistent from drive to drive and over varying temperature and manufacturing process variations. Furthermore, the present invention allows precise control without requiring additional components that add to cost, complexity, and test time.
In accordance with the invention, in a tape drive mechanism that actuates the reel hubs directly from a single reel motor via a gear train, the tension of the tape between the capstan and tape reels is adjusted by creating a phase locked loop (PLL) between the capstan tachometer pulses and the reel hub tachometer pulses. The amount of voltage applied to the reel motor is slaved to the capstan tachometer frequency. This allows the reel motor voltage/current to be adaptively adjusted to maintain proper tape tension between the capstan and tape reels. Because the efficient and novel tape tensioning technique of the invention requires fewer components than prior art solutions of the tape tensioning problem, the invention allows a lower cost tape drive that is more immune from the aging effects of the system components.
The invention will be better understood from a reading of the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawing in which like reference designators are used to designate like elements, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a tape drive in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a top angular view of a tape path in one embodiment of the tape transport mechanism;
FIG. 3 is a side view of the tape transport mechanism of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a top view of the tape transport mechanism of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a tape tension controller in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of one preferred embodiment of a tape tension controller in accordance with the invention; and
FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the operation of a tape tension controller in accordance with the invention.
A novel method and apparatus for precisely controlling the tape tension between the capstan and tape reels is described in detail hereinafter.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the functionality of a tape drive in accordance with the invention. Tape controller 10 manages a plurality of functionally separated blocks, including a host computer interface 12, a tape drive interface 14 which electromechanically cooperates with motors 15 for performing various drive functions, and read/write circuitry 16 which responds to commands from the controller 10 to perform reading and writing functions relative to the tape through head assemblies 18. Interaction with the user is through display 20 and manual input 21. Typically, tape controller 10 is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that includes a microprocessor 13. Tape controller 10 interfaces with a host system via a host system interface 12, and with the tape drive via the tape drive interface 14. Controller 10 performs a variety of functions including among others speed and direction control of all motors, data formatting and unformatting, and generation and use of error correction. Read/write circuitry 16 manages the conversion of digital data from tape controller 10 into analog signals that are appropriate for the recording heads 18 and vice versa.
Motors 15 includes reel motors 81 and 82, capstan motor 83, and drum motor 84. Reel motors 81 and 82 drives the supply and take-up reels of the tape cartridge and can likewise drive the tape in either direction. Capstan motor 83 drives the capstan, which is responsible for regulating tape speed. The capstan motor 83 is bi-directional and can drive the tape in the forward or reverse direction. Drum motor 84 drives the rotating heads assembly 40 that scans the tape surface in a helical pattern.
The tape drive in the illustrative embodiment utilizes an 8 mm tape cartridge that has tracks recorded thereon in a helical scan pattern. It is, for example, intended to store 33 gigabytes of data with recovery speeds of up to 3 megabytes per second and a 5.25 inch form factor. It relies upon a variable speed architecture wherein servo controls are applied to tape speed and position during read operations. The variable speed architecture permits excellent performance under all conditions and reduces wear of heads, mechanisms, and media by eliminating reposition cycles characteristic of streaming tape drives. It is also relatively simple and low cost to design.
FIG. 2 is a top angular view and FIG. 3 is a side view of the tape path resulting from one arrangement of tape drive motors of a single reel motor tape drive. FIG. 4 is a top view of the tape drive configuration of FIGS. 2 and 3, illustrating the path followed by tape 80. As shown in FIGS. 2-4, motors including a single reel drive motor 81, capstan motor 83, drum motor 84, and drum 85. The single reel drive motor 81 can actuate either reel 88 or 89 through a clutch mechanism (not shown).
In the illustrative embodiment, data is written in tracks in an alternate azimuth, helical pattern by heads 96-99 on drum rotor 85 with an alternate azimuth technique. That is, a pair of alternate azimuth data tracks are recorded simultaneously at an angle across the tape by a pair alternate azimuth adjacent write heads. Tape speed controller 70 maintains the period of drum rotor 85 and speed of tape 80. Data is checked half a drum rotation after writing by a pair of alternate azimuth CAW heads located 180 degrees relative to the pair of write heads, and offending tracks re-written "on the fly" as required. Accordingly, for each rotation of drum rotor 85, two tracks are written and a write check of those two tracks is performed. Data is read with all four heads 96-99 using an alternate azimuth reading technique.
Drum 85 cooperates with capstan 91 and idler rollers 92 and 93 to retain the tape 80 in an arc of 196 degrees relative to the circumferential periphery of drum 85. Capstan 91 is operated by capstan motor 83 so as to modify the position of tape 80 relative to the path of head 96, 97, 98, 99 rotating on drum 85 to maximize the rate at which packets are read from tape 80. In other words, the relationship between tape position (or track position) and the path of the read/write heads is adjustable to alter the rate at which data is read from the tape. In the illustrative embodiment, data is read over a continuously variable transfer rate of up to a maximum of over 100% of the rate at which data is nominally recorded.
As shown in FIGS. 2-4, tape 80 circulates between supply reel 88 and take-up reel 89 after passing over a series of idler rollers 94 a, 94 b, 94 c, 94 d, 94 e, and 94 f, a biased tension arm and roller 95, and between capstan 91 and pinch roller 92. Drum 85 rotates so as to magnetically exchange data between heads 96-99 mounted thereon and tape 80 as it passes over the periphery of the drum 85.
Referring back to FIG. 1, reel tachometer 50 provides speed feedback information REEL_TACH 51 for each reel 88 and 89. This is used by tape speed controller 70 to control reel speed, discussed hereinafter. Capstan tachometer 52 can typically be a single-phase tachometer that provides speed information CAP_TACH 53 about the capstan. It is used by tape speed controller 70 to verify proper direction and speed control of the capstan motor 83.
The present invention is a tape tension controller 75 (see FIG. 1) which prevents the buildup of slack in the tape 80 between the capstan 91 and the supply and takeup reels 88 and 89. FIG. 4 illustrates forward motion of the tape 80 as it passes from the supply reel 88 to the takeup reel 89. Without the implementation of the tape tension controller 75 of the invention, described hereinafter, the tape is susceptible to the buildup of tape slack at point 90 during forward motion resulting from improper tape tension control. The tape tension controller 75 provides the tape drive with a measure of robustness and immunity from the tape going slack in the tape path.
In accordance with the invention, tape tension controller 75, preferably implemented within the tape speed controller 70, uses knowledge of the physical diameter (or radius Rc) of the tape drive capstan shaft 91, and the radius RT or RS of the tape pack 188 or 189 on the reel hub 88 or 89. The tape tension controller 75 constantly computes the ideal relationship between these two dimensions and produces a target count of "expected capstan tachometer pulses per reel tachometer pulse" at the current tape pack radius. Once this relationship has been computed, the tape tension controller 75 effectively implements a phased locked loop between the reel tach signal 51and the capstan tach signal 53 to generate a reel voltage adjustment value that is added to the reel voltage 55 or 56.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the tape tension controller 75. As illustrated, tape tension controller 75 is essentially a phase-locked loop (PLL) which monitors the relationship between the reel and capstan tachs. As illustrated, the capstan tach CAP_TACH 53 operates as the reference frequency, the reel tach REEL_TACH 51 operates as the control frequency, and the output of the PLL is the adjusted reel motor speed θ. The tape tension controller PLL 75 includes a phase detector 110, adjustment circuit 140, motor 81 or 82, and a feedback circuit 160.
Phase detector 110 includes a target count calculator 112 which computes the expected number of capstan tachometer pulses per reel tachometer pulse based on the current reel tape radius RT or RS. A fixed (albeit nonlinear) relationship exists between the number of capstan tachs and number of reel tachs per given tape stack radius on the reel hub when the tape is wound using the proper tape tension. This relationship is calculable based on the known fixed radius of the capstan 91 and the radius of the tape stack on the reel hub. This relationship allows the target count calculator 112 to generate the expected number of capstan tach CAP_TACH 53 pulses for each reel tach REEL_TACH 51 pulse. The radius of the capstan is much smaller than that of even an empty reel; accordingly, the capstan tach signal CAP_TACH 53 is of a higher frequency than the reel tach signal REEL_TACH 51. The reel tachs REEL_TACH 51 are generated at a constant linear rate independently of the radius of the tape stack. During normal read/write mode, the capstan speed is constant. The reel hub speed changes depending on the tape stack radius RT. At any given time the ideal relationship between the number of capstan tach pulses per reel tach pulses can be calculated if the reel is spinning.
In the illustrative embodiment, target count calculator 112 employs the following derivation to determine the expected number of capstan tach pulses per reel tach pulse based on the current tape stack radius:
where PC is the number of capstan tach pulses per capstan revolution, RC is the radius of the capstan shaft, PR is the number of reel tach pulses per reel revolution, and RT is the radius of the reel tape pack. The radius RC of the capstan shaft, number of capstan tach pulses per capstan revolution PC, number of reel tach pulses per capstan revolution PR, are fixed parameters for a given drive. Only the reel tape pack radius RT is variable. The tape tension controller 75 calculates the known relationship to generate a target count of expected capstan tach pulses per reel tach pulse for the current tape stack radius, resets a counter when a reel tach is encountered, counts and compares the number of capstan tachs received to the target count, and increases the current reel voltage if a reel tach pulse is not received within a predetermined error count of the target count. In other words, when the tape position is at a given reel tach, if the next reel tach is not seen when it is calculated to be seen, the capstan is moving tape in the direction of the reel faster than the reel is taking up the tape, thereby causing tape slack. The tape tension controller 75 detects this condition and intervenes by increasing the reel motor voltage/current to take up the tape faster to remove the tape slack. For every late reel tach, the reel motor voltage/current is ramped up to increase the reel motor speed to take up any slack; then, once the reel tachs are no longer late, the reel motor voltage/current is ramped back down to its calibrated value.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of one preferred embodiment of tape tension controller 75. In this embodiment, phase detector 110 (FIG. 5) is formed with target count calculator 112, a "watchdog" up-counter 116, and a target count register 114 which stores the target count 113 of the expected capstan tachometer pulses per reel tachometer pulse as determined by a target count calculator 112. Watchdog up-counter 116 counts up one tick for each pulse of capstan tach CAP_TACH 53. Watchdog up-counter 116 is reset to zero any time it receives a pulse of reel tachometer REEL_TACH 51. A count comparator 118 detects if the watchdog up-counter 116 has received more capstan tach CAP_TACH 53 pulses (to cause its count to exceed the target value) without being reset by a reel tach REEL_TACH 51 pulse. This can only happen if the reel hub 88 or 89 is spinning at an angular velocity that is below its ideal rate. Should this occur, the count comparator 118 triggers via 119 the adjustment circuit 140 (FIG. 5) to generate an additional adjustment voltage ADJ 130 to be applied to the reel motor 81 or 82, thus increasing its angular velocity.
In the preferred illustrative embodiment, adjustment circuit 140 includes an adjustment voltage up/down counter 126 which generates an adjustment voltage count 127. Adjustment voltage count 127 is converted by digital-to-analog converter 128 to produce an analog reel motor adjustment voltage ADJ 130. Reel motor adjustment voltage ADJ 130 is added to the calibrated reel motor voltage VR and used to drive the reel motor. A logical AND gate 120 receives the count comparator trigger signal 119 and capstan tach pulse 53, and pulses the count up clock input of the adjustment voltage up/down counter 126 once for each capstan pulse that the reel tach is late. This allows the adjustment voltage up/down counter 126 to set the reel motor adjustment voltage to a value proportional to the lateness of the reel tach pulse (which is indicative of the amount of tape slack). Another AND gate 122 receives the inverted count comparator trigger signal 119 and reel tach pulse 51, and pulses the count down clock input of the adjustment voltage up/down counter 126 once for each reel pulse received on time. This allows the adjustment voltage up/down counter 126 to ramp down the reel motor adjustment voltage as the tape slack is taken up. The minimum value of the adjustment voltage is 0 V, to ensure that the reel motor voltage/current never drops below its calibrated value.
FIG. 7 is an operational flowchart of the method of the invention. At the beginning of tape motion, the expected capstan tach pulses per reel tach pulse target count is calculated 202. A current capstan tach pulse count, initialized to zero, is maintained 204 by incrementing the count once each time a capstan tach pulse is received. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, this step is implemented by incrementing the watchdog up-counter 116. The reel tach signal is monitored 206. If a reel tach is not received, a comparison is made 208 between the target count and the current capstan pulse count. If the current capstan count exceeds the target count, the reel motor voltage/current is increased 210. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, this step is implemented by pulsing the count up clock input of the up/down counter 126. If the current capstan count does not exceed the target count 208, the method continues with step 202. If in step 206 a reel tach pulse is received, the reel motor voltage/current is decreased 212 (if nonzero) and the current capstan tach pulse count is reset 214 to zero. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, these steps are implemented by pulsing the count down clock input of the up/down counter 126 and resetting the watchdog up-counter 116. The method is then repeated beginning with step 202.
It will be appreciated from the above detailed description that the tape tension controller 75 operates to detect less-than-ideal tape hub take up rates and intercedes to fix the problem. This provides robustness to problems such as tape binding, mechanical system frictional increases with aging, and reel motor torque changes, among others.
Although the invention has been described in terms of the illustrative embodiments, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the illustrative embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. It is intended that the scope of the invention not be limited in any way to the illustrative embodiment shown and described but that the invention be limited only by the claims appended hereto.

KeePass has quite some features to avoid database file corruption (transacted database writing, device buffer flushing, ...). However, data corruption can still be caused by other programs, the system or broken storage devices (note that KeePass by default is verifying the integrity of database files immediately after writing them, i.e. at this point of time, KeePass guarantees file integrity; however, KeePass of course can't do anything when the data becomes corrupted/unreadable at a later point of time).
In these cases, the database repair functionality might help you. Here, KeePass tries to read as much data as possible from the corrupted file.
In repair mode, the integrity of the data is not checked (in order to rescue as much data as possible). When no integrity checks are performed, corrupted/malicious data might be incorporated into the database. Thus the repair functionality should only be used when there really is no other solution. If you use it, afterwards you should thoroughly check your whole database for corrupted/malicious data.
KeePass 1.x OnlyIn KeePass 1.x, the repair functionality can be found in 'Tools' -> 'Repair KeePass Database File...'.
KeePass 2.x OnlyIn order to use the repair functionality in KeePass 2.x, first create a new database file. Then, go 'File' -> 'Import' and import the corrupted database file, using 'KeePass KDBX (2.x) (Repair Mode)' as format.
Anyway, if you've lost the master key for the database, the repair functionality cannot help you. Also, if the header of the database (first few bytes) is corrupted, you're out of luck too: the repair functionality won't be able to restore any entries (because the header contains information required to decrypt the database).
The repair functionality should be seen as last hope. Regularly making backups of your databases is much better and has to be preferred. Backups have no cryptographic security implications. There are plugins that automate the backup process, see the KeePass plugins page.
KeePass is OSI Certified Open Source Software

Someone pulled a plug and the Christmas tree went from multicolored speckles to a black haze in the corner.
Infinity Mirrored Room consists of roughly one hundred multicolored LED lights that pulsate at various speeds and patterns.
And at the moment, orange sequins, multicolored fake fur, and thigh-cinching knickers are winning.
Look for ridiculous appliqués, metallic leathers, feathers, too-high platforms, heavy chains and multicolored exotic skins.
The search for Maria Ridulph and the man in the multicolored sweater became a nationwide obsession.
The odor of incense and of roses wafted through the air; dim lamps shed a multicolored glow.
The companionway was strewn inches deep in multicolored gems.
A Cimmerian led out of darkness into sudden light could not marvel more at multicolored vistas than did Tristrem, at this promise.
Star-flowers shed their multicolored radiance everywhere, and starlight poured prodigally down from the sky.
The multicolored door truly glowed with flames, for it was of silver and studded with diamonds.

In the wake of National tragedy, networks typically adjust primetime program scheduling to include news reports and to withdraw any sensitive episodic material. Monday, the night after the Marathon bombings, NBC pre-empted an original episode of "Revolution" for a special NBC News report. NBC has also announced, Friday afternoon, that they will not air episode 4 of "Hannibal," due to it's story arc – children being encouraged to murder other children. While there is no bomb related storyline, creator Bryan Fuller actually approached the Peacock network to pull the episode due to the cultural nature in America today.
Fuller told Vairety, who first broke the story
"I didn't want to have anyone come to the show and have a negative experience. Whenever you [write] a story and look at the sensational aspects of storytelling, you think, 'This is interesting metaphorically, and this is interesting as social commentary.' With this episode, it wasn't about the graphic imagery or violence. It was the associations that came with the subject matter that I felt would inhibit the enjoyment of the overall episode. … It was my own sensitivity."
NBC has no plans to actually air the 4th episode, which was set to air next Thursday. The network claims that there will not be any continuity concerns and has announced that Fuller will "host" a special online featurette of clips that can summarize important character development points from the episode. The special will be featured on NBC.com in the near future. While the episode will still air internationally, the change moves "Hannibal" season finale from June 27 to June 20.
As we tweeted earlier this week, ABC has shifted "Castle" episodes in the upcoming weeks. The episode slated for April 22, does involve a bomb. The episode now has been moved to April 29, while that original episode will air April 22. CBS has shifted an original Vegas to SATURDAY at 8/7c so a CBS News special can air TONIGHT, Friday, at 9/8c. NBC will also dedicate "Rock Center with Brian Williams" (10/9c) on Friday April 19 to the Boston developments. Finally, Fox has yanked clips of Family Guy from Hulu and other online streaming websites after the clip was edited with insensitive reactions to the events that transpiring in Boston earlier this week.

Updated 11/11/07
Tuition information for the upcoming year is available in late spring. Tuition charges are determined by the number of semester hours for which you register. The number of hours for which you register will fall into one of four ranges. Students with assistantships of 25-67% receive a base in-state tuition waiver and a partial fee waiver based on range. Information on fees included is available at http://www.grad.uiuc.edu/gradhandbook/chapterVIII/section01.asp#topic2. Students with University, GSLIS, or ALA Spectrum fellowships of at least $6,000 receive a full tuition waiver and a partial fee waiver with their stipend.Complete information about tuition and fee assessments is available from the Office of Admissions and Records, 901 W. Illinois St., Urbana, IL 61801; 217.333.0210 or at http://www.oar.uiuc.edu/current/financial/index.html.
back to top
Payment for tuition and fees is due in full on the 16th business day of the month. Monthly late payment charge of 1.5% is assessed until the balance is paid in full.Additional information is available from student accounts at http://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/osac/students
Before financial aid (in the form of loans) can be awarded to students they must fill out a FAFSA form. This is a process that all students who want aid (not including assistantships) in the form of federal student loans must go through each academic year. For more information on this process visit the FAFSA website at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. The Office of Student Financial Aid also provides a "Top 10 Questions About Financial Aid" list which can help guide students through this process.
On-campus students are eligible to apply for student loans. In order to receive financial aid in the form of student loans you must register for at least 6 credit hours in the fall and spring and 3 hours in the summer. More information regarding financial aid is available through the OSFA website, http://www.osfa.uiuc.edu, or by calling 217.333.0100.

All students are able to view their bills online through UI Integrate Self-Service. The University does not send out paper bills, so students will need to keep up with their balance through the online system. Students will need to complete the following steps to access their E-bills.
- Logon to UI Integrate Self Service at https://apps.uillinois.edu/selfservice.
- Select "Account Billing Information."
- Select "UI-Pay."
- Select the "UI-Pay" button, which will connect you to UI-Pay.
- Select "View Current Bill."
Any remaining loan money will be direct deposited into students' bank accounts after tuition is subtracted from the total amount.
More information about E-bills is available at https://epay.uillinois.edu/ebills.html.

Graduate assistantships are the primary source of financial aid and are awarded by the School, the University Library, and a variety of other campus units. Assistantships range from 25-percent-time nine-month appointments to 67-percent-time 12-month appointments. Assistantship appointments awarded to M.S. degree students between 25 and 67 percent, inclusive, for at least three-quarters of the semester provide waivers of the base in-state tuition and service fee as well as a stipend. Non-Illinois residents must pay the difference between in- and out-of-state tuition. Non-resident students who have spouses with University appointments may elect to be assessed in-state tuition. However, if they choose this option, they lose the tuition and fee waiver that accompanies assistantships. Students with appointments greater than 67 percent or less than 25 percent lose their tuition waivers. Assistants who have tuition and service fee waivers for the spring semester are granted comparable waivers for the succeeding summer term(s) if they do not carry summer appointments above 67 percent.
A majority of students acquire assistantships through the University Library. The process for applying for these assistantships is similar to applying for a job. It requires submission of cover letters and resumes. Candidates are required to interview for positions.
To apply for an assistantship in the University Library, contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Current graduate assistantship and hourly positions are listed on the library's human resources page at http://www.library.uiuc.edu/administration/human/positions/employment.html.
There are also a number of graduate assistantships in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science that are listed at http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/about/jobs/gslis-jobs.html. Some of the positions listed are outside of GSLIS but may be of interest to GSLIS students. Other places to check for openings are the Graduate College Assistantship Clearinghouse, the campus Virtual Job Board, and the GSLIS Graduate Assistantships Bulletin Boards (netID and password required).
MS students with assistantships in other campus units will receive tuition and fee waivers based on GSLIS policy (base in-state rate).
MS students with graduate assistantships at GSLIS and the University Library must be registered and are restricted to the following maximum and minimum credit loads. Students holding assistantships in other campus units must abide by the enrollment requirements of their employer. Students must be enrolled in a degree program in order to hold an assistantship.
Appointment Fall and Spring Summer Graduate students without assistantships Maximum: 20 hours
Minimum: 2 hours
Maximum: 12 hours
Minimum: 2 hours
Graduate students with (25%-67%) assistantships Maximum: 20 hours
Minimum: 10 hours*
Maximum: 12 hours
Minimum: 4 hours*
Graduate students with fellowships Maximum: 20 hours
Minimum: 12 hours*
Maximum: 12 hours
Minimum: 4 hours*
*Note that these limits are based on University, GSLIS, and Library requirements. GSLIS students must maintain these loads in order to be eligible for tuition waivers.
Exceptions are not normally made to these loads, but you may petition internally if you wish to carry a larger or smaller load by explaining your reasons for the exceptions to your employer and GSLIS. Students may also petition to carry a reduced load in their last semester while they are looking for a job. Permission to carry more than 20 hours in fall and spring and more than 12 hours in summer must be approved by the Dean and by the Graduate College.
For more information regarding graduate assistantships and policies, consult http://www.grad.uiuc.edu/gradhandbook/.

All students are automatically considered for fellowships awarded by GSLIS. There is no separate application process. Fellowships are merit-based. Most fellowships are awarded to doctoral students. Fellowships above $6000/year also provide a waiver of full tuition and service fee.
The Graduate College also provides a comprehensive, searchable listing of fellowship opportunities awarded by federal agencies, academic departments, the Graduate College, and other resources. For more information or to search this database visit http://www.grad.uiuc.edu/fellowship/.

For the second time in five days a man accused of beating and raping five women in two counties made a first appearance in front of a judge.
OCALA – A man suspected of beating and raping five women in two counties was formally charged a fourth time on Tuesday.
The Ocala Police Department executed a probable cause affidavit for Michael Frye's arrest on one count of armed sexual battery and one count of armed kidnapping. He had already been charged with three counts of sexual battery and three counts of kidnapping.
Four of the cases occurred in Marion County; two in the city and two in the county. The fifth was in Gainesville. All of them took place between noon and 6 p.m. from July 5 through Oct. 12. The women range in age from 29 to 42.
Frye was arrested Thursday and has been incarcerated under suicide watch in the Marion County Jail, where he is being held without bond.
In the charges filed Tuesday, OPD Detective Stephanie McQuaig said Officer Stacey Hunter went to the 1200 block of Northwest 38th Avenue on Sept. 19 and found a woman, 40, covered with a towel, lying on the side of the road. There were scratches on her lower legs and Hunter noted in his report that the woman indicated she had been strangled.
While at Munroe Regional Medical Center, she described her attacker as a heavy-set white man with strawberry blond hair, a mustache and a crew cut, who was driving a sport utility vehicle. She said he had tattoos on the right side of his neck with a name, on his left forearm with an eagle holding a rebel flag and something else on his right arm.
She said she had been walking downtown when he offered her a ride, which she accepted because it looked like it was going to rain.
She said the man turned at State Road 40 and U.S. 27 and when she told him he was going the wrong way, he said he was going to work to pick up something. He instead stopped the vehicle and picked up a knife and ordered her to get out.
She said she hesitated and he grabbed her hair and placed the knife at her neck, then punched her, making her briefly lose consciousness, and also began strangling her.
When she came to, she said he forced her to perform a sexual act on him and continued to threaten her with the knife, kicked her in the side and told her to remain on the ground, then drove away.
The woman eventually stumbled through some bushes before being seen by people who called 911.
Frye remains jailed without legal representation. He was appointed a public defender last week, but there is a conflict and his case will be sent to a regional counsel for representation.
Melissa Frye maintains her husband is innocent and is worried he is in "limbo" in the jail.
"He's sitting there without any representation," she said Tuesday.
She also disputed an announcement Friday by the Ocala Police Department that her husband might have attempted to alter his tattoos at a shop on Oct. 14.
He reportedly entered the business around 7:40 p.m. and asked the price of altering several tattoos on his neck, said OPD officials, but left without having any work done because it was too expensive.
Melissa Frye said he did visit a tattoo shop and that she and two of their three daughters were with him. She said she wanted a tattoo of her children's names on her neck and after they were told it would cost between $150 and $160, they said that was too expensive and left.
"Mike was not there to alter any tattoos," she said.

Lady Cats have two games left
|From Staff Reports
Oct. 16, 2006 - MOUNT PLEASANT - The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats won't be going to the playoffs this season, but head coach Christi Funk said they are determined to finish the final two games strong at home.
The Lady Cats were beaten in three games Friday by Mount Pleasant, 25-23, 25-19, 25-12, and will host district leader North Lamar on Tuesday and second-place Lindale in the season finale on Friday.
SSHS fell to 1-7 in District 11-4A, 9-21 overall, while Mount Pleasant is 3-5, 21-12. North Lamar (7-1, 18-8), Lindale (6-2, 18-11) and Paris (5-3, 27-7) have all wrapped up playoff berths with two regular season games left.
On Friday, the Lady Cats adjusted to their new 5-1 scheme, featuring one setter after a knee injury to senior Jordan Anderson ended her season. But, Funk said that after playing the first two games close against Mount Pleasant, they made too many mistakes in Game 3 to keep the match going.
"The first two games, we played really well. The third game, we had a lot of unforced errors," she explained. "I'm not sure if it was a lack of focus or what it was, but we had a lot of errors.
"We changed to a 5-1, and they executed that well in the first two games. The third game, the girls were working hard but made too many errors."
Senior Kayla Morgan and sophomore Baleigh Butler both had four kills to lead the team in that category. Morgan also had three blocks, while Butler had seven digs. Amanda McGowin led the team in digs with 11.
Senior Kristen McDonald added three kills, two blocks and seven digs, while Marci Womack recorded one kill and a team-high four blocks. Brittani Dillard added six digs and Kelsey Evans had five digs and two kills.
The Lady Cats will have senior night on Friday before their scheduled game at 6 p.m.
We're looking forward to having local support, packed stands, and I want everybody to see how hard the girls are working in every game," Funk said. "It's hard to come home and say it was a loss, but� we're working so hard. We've really improved a lot - the win-loss record doesn't show it, but the improvement on the court and the competition level the girls are at has really come a long way.
"We've stayed the course, and now we're going to finish the race strong, and we're glad we're doing it at home."

Duquesne's Slosky earns cross country coach of the year honor in debut season
In the same way Tom Slosky previously devoted himself to his distance races, he now dedicates himself to shaping other multi-mile runners.
Recent developments in Duquesne's cross country season further stoked Slosky's coaching fire.
The 2004 Highlands grad, not far removed from a standout career at Duquesne, is in his first year as coach of the Dukes' distance running program. He needed little time to add accolades to his legacy, as on Nov. 2, he received the Atlantic 10's women's cross country Coach of the Year honor while his women's team won the program's first conference title.
"I saw the women's program struggle for years, and it's had its ups and downs," said Slosky, who won the Atlantic 10 individual men's title in 2007 and later succeeded his former coach, Jim Lear. "I was able to see it turn for the better, but I'm just small portion of the help that made this a great team."
Duquesne will compete in the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional meet Friday at Lehigh.
Slosky, a former Duquesne assistant, has shaped his coaching style based on what he learned from Lear and a number of other former coaches, including Highlands' Mike Foster, Chet Foster and Tom Abbott. His coaching identity remains a work in progress, he said, and he wants to build and refine it at Duquesne during the next several years.
"I wanted to give back to the university that did so much for me as a student-athlete in so many ways," he said. "I remember walking on to Duquesne's campus and someone asking me what I want to do with myself. I was between majors and wasn't really sure. There were only two things I knew I wanted to do, and one of them was being a coach. I had a gut feeling that college running would be a part of my future."
Slosky supervises the cross country teams in the fall and will handle men's and women's track team members who run middle- and long-distance events in the spring. While he's comfortable with coaching runners in cross country and track's several mile-plus races, Slosky admits he wants to brush up on his knowledge of the 800-meter event and even the 1,500 to some extent.
So deep is his determination to enhancing his coaching knowledge and abilities, Slosky no longer worries about saving his time and energy for his own runs. He still jogs miles at a time through Schenley Park, the home of Duquesne's cross country course. But marathons, 5Ks and other organized races are part of his past.
"I've lost the competitiveness," he said. "I don't know what happened. I don't know if it was when I started getting more into coaching, if I was just more excited about that and wanted to harness that into coaching instead of running. But for some reason, I just started to lose it. And it didn't bother me, either.
"Nowadays, I like to work out, and I still like to run. But I don't feel a big need to go out and get competitive. Because it's time and effort, and I'd rather take that time and effort and put it into other things in my life — things like recruiting, growing as a coach, talking to the athletes."
If nothing else, Slosky just wants to match the efforts of an athletic department that he believes is steering its running teams in a promising direction.
"They've really put the resources into us in believing that we can win Atlantic 10 titles, and I wanted to make sure that it happened," he said. "I saw the potential that they had as a volunteer coach and an assistant coach. Now I'm running the distance program, and I believe we can continue doing this. We have the mentalities and the right direction. We definitely have the talent. So it's all coming together and is something amazing to be a part of."

Rogga Johansson and his Paganizer belongs to the most active and prolific death metal bands of the recent years. Basically every year brings us some new recordings! OK, to be honest, not all of them are totally great, some are little bit boring, some clearly have just material of fillers and mediocrity (like the split with Depression). But most of the full length albums of Paganizer are really awesome. Especially in the early 00's the band has spawned several great albums and every next year another killer came. 2001 was a year of "Promoting Total Death", then 2002 was the year of "Dead Unburied" (and then next year "Murder Death Kill" arrived and in 2004 "Divine Rapture", another two fantastic albums!). "Dead Unburied" was again released by Forever Underground, what makes it quite hard to get nowadays (but it was re-released on a compilation with first three Paganizer albums)… But believe me, it is worth getting.
When listening of "Dead Unburied" there's one thing, which strikes you from the beginning and which when compared to the "Promoting Total Death" album is a great advantage and improvement… and that is the production of "Dead Unburied". The album was recorded in the Sunlight Studio with Tomas Skogsberg. More so, the mastering was fixed by Dan Swano… So, two masters of the Swedish death metal sound are responsible for this record! And you can hear it; the sound on "Dead Unburied" is fantastic. It is brutal, the guitar tone is low, fat and heavy, the whole music is like a bulldozer of Swedish death metal. And finally, also Rogga's growl is kind of deeper and better. So, in this aspect I think that "Dead Unburied" is a great improvement when comparing to the previous album.
Musically maybe the difference is not as big, because both albums walk the same path of brutal, crushing mid tempo death metal in the vein of Grave (who else hehe!). Paganizer didn't really change much when comparing to the previous album, but maybe the one, but quite important modification, is the fact that on "Dead Unburied" there are many more faster, blasting parts, what only makes the whole album even more aggressive and massive. Really, quite many songs on this album have the tempo increased, so imagine how the whole music sounds, with this crushing production! It is just a death metal slaughter! Just listen to such killer songs as "Even In Hell", "Napalm Burial", "Flesh Supremacy"… So, with such fast songs, in many ways, this album is better than its predecessor, more ultimate, devastating piece of old styled death metal. I also must mention such slower masterpieces as "Beyond Redemption"… and yes, what a killer stuff is here! It is just a shame that Forever Underground Records didn't do much to promote the album at the time of its release...
Standout tracks: "Even In Hell", "Landscape Made of Human Flesh", "Flesh Supremacy", "Beyond Redemption"
Final rate: 75/100
...Grave. But a damn good try nonetheless. Paganizer is one of those new old school Swedish bands, playing the hearty mid-tempo death created by folks like the Entombed and the aforementioned Grave. While Paganizer does throw in some blast beats to set themselves apart, the blastbeats mostly sound awkward (except on the merciless first track). Paganizer is most at home letting out a mighty roar right before a big old Swedeath breakdown.
The vocals are cookie monster low, very much in the style of Jorgen Sandstrom, but perhaps with a little less variety. Speaking of Jorgen, he even appears on this album somewhere - but I have no idea which track it is on. Which should give you a clue as to how similar the two vocalists sound. The guitar tone is straight out of Entombedland, low and crunchy - essential to this type of music. The drummer seems most comfortable when laying down that driving, relentless groove - as I said before a lot of the faster parts sound loose and underpracticed. I get the feeling that later albums may find this band with a more precise blastbeat attack. The bass does its job in backing up the general heaviness.
I must say that I like this band a LOT better than Ribspreader, whose tracks all sound the same. While DEAD UNBURIED does suffer from some repetition in its own right, there are certainly some standouts. "Even In Hell" has fast mixed in very well with slow - it is a great punch-in-the-face opener. The next track that catches my ear is "Napalm Burial," though it is not as good as the upcoming "Flesh Supremacy" - a true Swedeath masterpiece. "At Night They Come" is rad too, reminds me of "Scars" from SOULLESS. "Hateconsumed" is a good choice for a closing track - as a listener it always gives you a more favorable opinion of the album in general if the last song is deathtastic.
So for fans of bands like Kaamos or the old masters like Grave, this is an album for you. It has grown on me more and more since purchasing it, and despite some filler it does a fine job of victimizing the listener. I recommend spending a little more time on the lyrics (murder, death, kill, kill, death, murder, hate and pain, murder, etc.) and the placement of faster drum parts (or at least how the blasts sound over the guitars) to allow this album to stand up to the works of its predecessors.

Consider the following as it pertains to personal preferences of deer hunting and efforts being made to improve the current situations that are being discussed on these sites. Also consider that when dealing with Hot topics that it is somewhat natural to try and swing things to an extreme. Compromise is not extreme, it is a balance from those making real efforts to improve and coexist. When you swing extreme left or right their is always turmoil. I will tell you up front that I support Hunting which includes but not limited to; hound hunting, still hunting and Sunday Hunting. These are my comments and my suggestions and nobody else influenced them. *Best Solar Battery
Controlling Hounds - It wasn't that long ago that houndsman had no means to track hounds which made it extremely difficult to locate and retrieve, With the introduction of telemetry greatly increased the handlers ability to catch up but was not easily mastered. More recently the GPS system provided a huge improvement in locating and pin pointing the hound and in my opinion was instrumental in the decision to create the RTR law. The latest step in technology was the GPS coupled with improved tracking ability and training features and anybody that has one will tell you that if used correctly will be invaluable. My point is that hound owners are investing in technology to improve our ability to limit the presence of hounds in unwanted places whether it is roadways or places that they do not have permission to be. These systems are very expensive but should be viewed as one step that hound owners are taking to limit the ground time on unwanted property. Houndsman are upgrading their system everyday and I feel it wont be long before 90 percent will be using the upgraded technology.
Landowners and RTR - Landowners have the right to allow or disallow hunting. A trespasser is someone that does not have permission or the legal right to be there. In my opinion the spirit of the RTR was to limit the presence of hounds on property where they are not wanted. Removing it would only increase the amount of time that a hound will spend on your property and the number of hounds that may be there. Handlers that are turning out and trying to push dogs onto your property are exercising poor judgement and if he comes onto your property to drive dogs he is trespassing. To suggest that a handler be fined for each occurrence that a dog trails up or runs a deer onto a landowners property with the ultimate recourse being the removal of the clubs permit is not at all realistic and has multiple pitfalls. There are many landowners that depend on the lease fees to maintain their farms or land, they grew up with many of these hunters that are their neighbors and friends. While I believe that the fast majority of landowners permit hounds I realize that we must strive for realistic answers that are not too far left or right.
Suggestions: *for hiking: best hiking stove
Give the newer GPS technology time to take hold.
Stay off posted property unless you are truly trying to retrieve and if so do it legally.
Landowners that object to hunting with hounds should want to get the hounds off their property as soon as possible. In many cases the handler can even show the GPS screen to them and show them the dog in question.
All hound clubs should be members of the the VHDA and adopt their Code of Ethics AND abide by them. This way we are in a better position to hold clubs accountable for their members actions. Not to mention that it would help with all the individual bickering that goes on in FB and I think we would all agree that doing so has not been productive.
If anyone feels that the current laws are not being enforced then why would anyone think additional laws will be. Support and enforce the game laws on the books. I would support a training season for hounds on deer as long as Fox pens remain open which by the way isn't free. Some may not look at this as a compromise but by doing so would enhance the still hunting season for us all while we would still be sharing the regular gun season and with sharing should come tolerance by the outspoken hunters that prefer season long still hunting.
Practicing Respect and Tolerance will go a long way. Maybe a better term would be Respect to Retrieve.
In closing think before you speak/post, seldom do people come to agreements while arguing.

Last week, D.C. gov unveiled a new Draft Open Data Policy. In the interest of openness, the proposed Mayoral order was debuted on a revamped Drafts.dc.gov site where anyone can go read and comment on it.
And according to D.C. Director of Technology Innovation Matt Bailey, conversation and debate is going strong:
#1 best thing about comments on draft #opendatadc policy: people replying to others, debating+refining. <3 #opendata https://t.co/0HrW33Ltto
— Matt Bailey (@MattBailey0) January 20, 2016
Some, however, took stock of their opinions elsewhere.
Joshua Tauberer, creator of GovTrack and steadfast open gov advocate, took to Medium to give a rundown on the proposed legislation.
In his informative post Tauberer says there are two things he considers when assessing an piece of open data policy. From his post:
Is the policy true to the spirit of open data? Does it provide for the publication of government data that enables the public to learn about government operations, analyze performance, build tools to improve life for residents, and better hold the government accountable?
Does carrying out the policy teach government staff that it's OK to be open? i.e. Will staff begin to view transparency as an obligation and not first and foremost a liability? Will they learn that respect and collaboration with the public produces better outcomes? Will they embed equitability into their practices?
So how does D.C.'s draft policy stack up?Read the full post
Tauberer finds both cause for celebration and concern. For example, he praises the fact that the policy "directs the creation of guidance" that would open up data created by government contractors.
"Because a substantial amount of government data is created by contracted private vendors, creating contracting guidance so that open data can be a part of these projects from the start is perhaps the single most powerful part of the draft open data policy," he writes.
However, Tauberer goes on to express concern about certain exemptions and restrictions to open data or the use of open data that the draft policy invites.
Apparently, "the District has long called its data 'open' while simultaneously adding capricious restrictions on how the public can use the data."
In short, Tauberer has a lot of thoughts on the proposed Policy. Good thing he's now part of the mayor's Open Government Advisory Board.

When American fashion line Hollister decided they would send a bevy of models dressed as lifeguards to South Korea to greet customers at the opening of their store in Yeouido, they were supposed to bring a feel of the surf-culture associated with the brand.
Instead, they brought controversy after making racist gestures and obscene hand motions in photos with customers.
The male models, whose names and nationalities have not been released, were flown in for the grand opening of the Yeouido store and posed for photos with locals while shirtless wearing only red board shorts and whistles around their necks.

According to reports, AP Transco has announced that the power consumers in the State will have to bear with additional power cuts due to unexpected shortage of about 723 MW capacity.
In a statement, AP Transco has informed that there has been additional shortage and consumers were requested to bear with the inconvenience and cooperate.
Unit 1 and 2 of Rayalaseema thermal power plant of 210 MW capacity tripped on August 16 and 17, respectively. In addition, NTPC's Ramagundam unit-5 of 500 MW, of which Andhra Pradesh gets about 160 MW tripped on August 16.
This will impact not just Andhra Pradesh but other southern States which receive supplies from NTPC's Ramagundam project.
The situation has become tougher with inflows into the Jurala reservoir coming down. Therefore, generation from this hydroelectric project has come down from 180 MW to 39 MW.
All these have resulted in additional power shortage of 723 MW.
According to AP Transco, the overall demand today has shot up to 265 million units and the supply is about 215.5 million units leaving a gap of about 49.5 mu today.

Good afternoon, I've been taking accutane for 4 months (30mg)and I plan to have a lipo of my hips and flabby thighs in April. The procedure I'm thinking about is called in France a "Liposuccion douce", gentle liposuction in English. I would be under local anaesthetic and the body fat would be removed with a syringe. The cuts in my skin would be really small according to the surgeon. Does it sound safe and would a local anaesthesia affect the liver ? Yours truly, V.
Liposuction While on Accutane.
Doctor Answers 5
Acutane and Liposuction - is it safe?
The original studies involving the safety of Accutane and healing only involved resurfacing procedures where there is high demand on the tissues to repopulate skin that has been ablated from the procedure. Problems healing did result for patients on accutane. Liposuction, however, involves some of the smallest incisions in all of cosmetic surgery and the likelihood of this causing you a problem is very small. The 6 month to 1 year waiting period is not based upon any formal study that validates this claim, except that the deeper oil glands take months to recover. The likelihood is that you would have no trouble with the recovery of from liposuction and most of this is information that has become standard practice based on insufficient medical information. Discuss this with your surgeon before proceeding.

Accutane and liposuction
Liposuction and Accutane
It has been controversial if there is a true cause and effect of Accutane and scarring which normally is discussed in reference to resurfacing for wrinkles. The standard is to wait at least six months to one year after the cessation of Accutane therapy prior to peforming resurfacing. The needle insertion marks for syringe-based manual liposuction should not heal improperly because of the Accutane but this can not be guaranteed. The liver does metabolize the local anesthetic and if it is taxed with processing the Accutane at the same time than there might be a potential for increasing the toxicity of the lidocaine anesthetic.

Factory Systems were adopted in England for the first time during the Industrial Revolution. They were invented with the idea of making things more quickly with the use of machines. Manufacturing was supposed to be easier, as well as making it easier to reach products faster and give many people nearby a chance to get employed. Producing stuff on a large scale, decrease labor work, and produce cheaper stuff was its main goal The Purpose Positives Summary 06.02 The Industrial Revolution: Assessment
Factory system strengthened British economies and cities seemed to grow rapidly because of the creation of factory system. It provided jobs to people who felt that they were unskilled but were able to operate heavy machinery. Made products at a larger quantity, at a faster speed and reduces time. Negatives There was an increase amount of pollution in the atmosphere and water. There was garbage all over the streets due to factory system growing so rapidly. People were upset because they worked long hours. Workers were not paid a very large amount of money; in fact it was very small. Due to the low income, a whole family worked just to pay bills(including children). Due to the poor hygienics there was a lot of deadly diseases going around for example Cholera. As you can see their are more Positives then there are negatives. With the help of The Industrial Revolution, America jump started to what it is now. But their are some down sides to the Industrial Revolution like the poor hygienics for example their would be loads of trash sitting on the side of the streets with deadly diseases and out of control rats roaming freely. "While the Industrial Revolution had both positive and negative effects on society and the economy, the positive effects outweighed the negative."

5 shy deer for Chris
View Single Post
July 6th, 2009, 21:04
This quest isn't a storyline critical and can be left out, it's still useful for gaining some exp' points, the quest also stays 'open' so you could come back later and finish where you left off…but there's a catch in not completing the quest in one go --->
Chris wants only the meat (raw uncooked) from five shy deer you have to keep them *quest-separate* from other meat because meat from all kinds of killed animals goes into only one inventory slot and is in effect…"mixed". So before starting the quest, cook any and all meat in your inventory then make a save game. When you have killed five deer return to Chris and the quest will complete without failing.
Having "40 points in lockpicking" and difficult locks skill will get you through the game, any harder locks locks can be opened with unlock magic scrolls which you collect on your travels and is enough to get you well into the game untill further skills can be chosen.
