Hi everyone!
Does anyone had succeed in importing SPICE Netlist into Cadence Virtuoso? I have tried several times but it seems something is wrong and I can not really get it work.
The thing which I am dealing with right now is like this.
1.A design was fully place and route in Cadence Encounter
2.I was succeed in extracting the SPICE Netlist from Encounter. During the process of the extraction, a noise library which know as the .cdb library was generated for both clock and core library. This file was basically the re-charaterized SPICE model of all the library cells after noise analyze. These recharaterized SPICE model were then used in generating the clock tree SPICE Netlist when using the command 'clockSpiceOut'. So the result clock tree SPICE Netlist would contain a different cell SPICE model from the original one which provided in the technology SPICE file.
3.After extracting the SPICE Netlist, I was trying to import this Netlist into Cadence Virtuoso and want to perform the SPICE simulation. Here comes the problem, Virtuoso simply does not accept those re-characterized SPICE model used in the Netlist and terminate the import process.
So, my question is, does anyone knows how to fix this problem? Or is there other way to extract the clock tree SPICE Netlist and perform SPICE simulation on it? Or is there any way to translate the noise library into a OA which can be access by Virtuoso?
Thanks for responsing!

WASHINGTON (UPI)-Conservative Republicans in Congress are actively rebelling against their lame-duck American President George Bush, not just by teaming up with Democrats and overturning the Dubai deal that would've handed American ports over to Al-Qaeda, but on virtually every other recent Bush policy initiative as well. This is the tip of the iceberg of Republican outrage that is far worse for the White House than the hurricane over Arabs taking control of US ports.
Republican conservatives on Capital Hill have also just shot down major elements of Bush's domestic agenda, threatening GOP control of Congress.
"If I had a choice and Bush were running today against Democratic President Bill Clinton, I'd vote for Bill Clinton," said VP Dick Cheney on Meet The Press, echoing similar sentiments just expressed by Senate Republican majority leader Bill Frist.
The pair had just read the recent book by a conservative Republican from the Reagan administration titled, "Impostor: How George Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy." That book is becoming the darling of conservative think tanks and talk shows of such rabid right-wing commentators as Rush Limbaugh and others.
"Bill Clinton and even Jimmy Carter were clearly much better presidents than either of those fascist, war-mongering Bush clones in a great many ways," barked Limbaugh on one of his recent radio rants, echoing recent comments of Senator John McCain, R-Arizona. "Where are Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter now that we need them?"
Bush has had a sharp drop in support among his usual right-wing loony Republican base, according to polls by Reuters, Time, and Associated Press-Ipsos released on Friday.
The polls all predict that the huge drop in GOP support will kill Republican voter turnout in the November midterm Congressional elections and will prove disastrous for Bush and his cronies.
There will be a Democratic takeover of both the House of Representatives as well as the Senate according to the polls, leading to the nightmare scenario for Republicans, of witch-hunting congressional investigations of White House corruption and constitutional treachery that will lead to the impeachment of Bush while destroying Republican presidential prospects in 2008.
"Republicans are in deep shit," said Marshall Wartman, a former aide to McCain, now at the ultra conservative Un-Democratic Non-Progressive Republican Policy Institute. "They're going to have to send out doses of Prozac, Lithium, Valium and Librium to the Republican National Committee and the Oval Office."
The entire House and a third of the Senate are to be contested this November, and it is a no-brainer that Democrats will gain more than the six seats they need to win back control of the Senate and 15 seats to retake the House.
The unpopular Iraqi oil war is hurting Bush with all voters, yet the profound conservative discontent is with the spectacular growth of spending during the last five years. Conservatives are also upset at the Bush's nominations of right wing bozos John Roberts, Samuel Alito and Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court.
"Bush is just plain incompetent," added McCain. "Just look at White House handling of the Dubai ports deal, the failure of his war to grab Iraqi oil and his failures in planning the Iraq occupation. Now he wants to bomb the hell out of Iran too just to grab their oil, defend the US dollar, and make Israel happy. That chimp in the White House has also been pushing Social Security destruction and just look at what he did to the South and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina."
The Republicans in Congress are hysterically afraid of recent opinion polls that show Bush's job approval in March was just 17%, the lowest of any American president. The president's approval among Republicans dropped from 53% in December to 21% in March.

Gish Jen on Language and Connections
WASHINGTON, April 23, 2010 - Gish Jen listened intently as the pipa virtuoso Yang Wei played the famous Chinese melody The Ancient Battlefield (十面埋伏). She then broke into a big smile as Yang switched to picking his pipa banjo-style for an uproarious rendition of Home on the Range.
Jen sighed, noting that music can easily transcend cultural and other barriers. "Why do we use words? Language is such a shackling thing," she said, half seriously.
Jen was keynoting the National Chinese Language Conference, and was among nearly 1,000 people who, like her, supported multilingualism in America. Speaking to the audience, she continued, "we all know that without shackles, one cannot be unshackled."
With those words, Jen read a short story titled "Duncan in China" from her highly acclaimed collection Who's Irish? It's a story about an American teaching English in China, and who falls in love with one of his students. Duncan finds that he--like his student--is having trouble finding words with which to express himself. The short story emphasized Jen's earlier point that where language falls short, people-to-people connections need not.
Gish Jen's is the best selling author of the novels Typical American, Mona in the Promised Land and The Love Wife. Who's Irish? is a collection of short stories. Her short fiction has also been featured in Best American Short Stories.
She spoke before the National Chinese Language Conference, organized by Asia Society and College Board.

This is the first of the giant bag of samples from my order from The Persimmon Tree so here goes nothing! I ordered a bunch of stuff that was rather out there for my tastes so I'm not sure I'll like any of them, but I was feeling adventurous I guess.
So as a caveat, I am not really familiar with lychee. Didn't really have an asian supermarket nearby growing up in either country I spent time in and my parents' taste and cooking was pure Americana/Canadian.
In the smell of the brewed tea I'm getting a faint fruity spiciness, I guess is not the word I'm looking for, but it's the closest one I can find. Not getting much peach. The taste of the (too)hot tea is fruity and floral and pretty exotic to my taste buds. It's not bad though, not in the slightest, just new. This isn't a tea that I'll buy again, but I'm glad to have tried it.

All quotes by Walter Moshammer
(3 quotes found)
"This type of multi-input A/D converter is ideal for applications where many system parameters must be measured, and the need for such applications is increasing rapidly."
"Because of their low power consumption the AS1910-15 family is ideal for portable and battery-powered systems, embedded controllers and communication systems. This includes dual-supply applications such as computers, intelligent instruments, critical processor and controller power monitoring. They are particularly well suited for use in microprocessor-based systems where the core processor typically has a 1.8V supply or lower while the periphery is powered with 3V or 3.3V. In such systems both voltages must be monitored simultaneously."
"The analog inputs are software configurable in four different modes. The choice of 8-channel single-ended, 8-channel pseudo differential, 4-channel pseudo differential and the fully differential 4-channel mode offer utmost flexibility for various applications. The fully differential input mode enables especially precise measurements under noisy conditions commonly found in industrial environments."

EDMONTON — How excited is Mike Reilly to work with Eskimos new head coach Jason Maas? Look no further than last year's Ottawa REDBLACKS, he says, the team the Eskimos beat 26-20 in the 103rd Grey Cup.
Just starting his first job as a professional football head coach, Maas, a long-time CFL quarterback, is bringing his offence from the nation's capital to Western Canada. Reilly says the fit couldn't be better.
"You saw what Ottawa was able to do last year and what we were able to do once we got things rolling and we all started clicking and getting on the same page."
The Eskimos were one of the best teams offensively last season but the REDBLACKS were the best. Maas was the mastermind of an offence that took Ottawa from worst to first in virtually every category — offence, defence, the East Division standings. You name it: Maas helped make the REDBLACKS respectable. Revered, in a word, a far cry from a 2-16 season in 2014 when it looked like the CFL's new expansion team, led by an ageing, over-the-hill quarterback, was light years away from competing.
And now, meeting with the media for the first time since winning Grey Cup MVP on that frigid, late November night in Winnipeg, Reilly could proudly say 'he's on our side'.
"I've always heard about what type of player he was," said Reilly. "I heard he had a fiery personality and brought a lot of that onto the field, which obviously I think I'm pretty similar in that regard."
While Mike Reilly has earned a reputation for his fiery demeanour, the same goes for his new head coach.
Reilly, 31, pays great attention to detail, especially when it comes to coaches not only in Edmonton but around the league. He said he started asking his teammates about Maas when he first arrived in Edmonton back in 2013 — teammates of Maas's back when he quarterbacked the Green and Gold. What he heard is that Maas understands how to make a quarterback comfortable during the game — that the game is seen differently on the field than it is from the sideline or on tape. He heard that Maas will push him to be better — that he won't be afraid to call out mistakes during practice.
"I know he's going to make me a better quarterback," said Reilly. "He's not going to be shy to tell me when I'm screwing things up."
Better still, the transition should be a simple one for an offence well-equipped for what Maas wants to run. Kenny Stafford and Kendial Lawrence are pending free agents, but outside of that the Green and Gold return the majority of a unit that last season ranked second in the league in net yards and lost only one game all year that Reilly started under centre (that being a season-opening loss to the Argos, in which Reilly was injured in the fourth quarter).
Stephen McAdoo and Maas are both disciples of Argos head coach Scott Milanovich and run similar offences, meaning outside of the terminology, very little has to change. In fact, adding a new perspective, Reilly added, gives the Esks' offence a chance to grow even more — to potentially take the next step.
"He studied under Milanovich just as McAdoo did, so structurally the offences are similar," started Reilly. "But what I've found is every coach that learns in that system takes things that they like and adds in other things of their own that they design, and they all end up being fairly different even though the terminology is very similar.
"The structures can be quite a bit different."
Still, the essence of the offence is that it puts a lot of burden on the quarterback to know where to throw the football, Reilly added — yet it doesn't force him to do anything he's not capable of.
"It's not an offence that makes you be superman," he said. "You just have to know where to get the ball and let your guys do the work and we have great wide receivers, once they get the ball in their hands they do some special things with it.
"I think that's what made Henry so successful last year: He trusted the offence, trusted the system and let his playmakers make plays."
I think that's what made Henry so successful last year: He trusted the offence, trusted the system and let his playmakers make plays.
For nervous Esks fans, Reilly's endorsement of Maas should be a breath of fresh air nearly two months after the departure of Chris Jones. Jones played a major role in building up both the Esks' depth and their overall level of compete, helping transform Edmonton from a four-win team in 2013 to Grey Cup Champion in 2015. His specialities are system and structure, things he helped GM Ed Hervey make so sound in Edmonton that the Esks appeared poised to contend for a long time coming.
While Hervey remains the man in charge, Jones up and left the Eskimos in the weeks following the Grey Cup and took most of his coaching staff with him. But with Maas now replacing him, Reilly isn't going back on his word that his team is built to win many more Grey Cups than just last year's, something he asserted at the podium following last November's victory.
"Not at all," Reilly answered the question. "I feel just as strongly that we're built to win multiple Grey Cups. We have the core group of players that we need and losing your entire staff is never a good situation, but the staff we have replaced them with is something that I'm extremely excited about and I have a ton of confidence in.
"I'm more excited and more confident about what we're going to be able to do this year than I was two months ago."
Reilly holds up the Grey Cup, capping off a successful 14-4 season for the resurgent Eskimos.
The REDBLACKS gave the Eskimos everything they had in a Grey Cup fight to the end, one that wasn't decided until the final minute of the game when Reilly was able to run out the clock and keep Henry Burris and the Ottawa offence standing on the sideline for the game's final whistle. When he wasn't on the field helping his team win, Reilly paid close attention to what Maas, Burris and the REDBLACKS were able to accomplish in 2015.
Some say with the departure of some free agents and a totally new coaching staff, a decline is on tap in the City of Champions. The success of last year's REDBLACKS says otherwise.
"There's no debate about whether he can do it, and now it's on the players to go out there and execute the plays that are being called," Reilly said of Maas. "We have confidence in our locker-room that we have the right guys to make that happen."

Sasol inaugurates R1bn LAN plant
2012-10-24 16:35
I-Net Bridge
Johannesburg - Sasol [JSE:SOL] Nitro on Wednesday inaugurated its new limestone ammonium nitrate (LAN) granulation plant in Secunda' Mpumalanga. The R1bn state-of-the-art plant has a production capacity of 400 000 tons per annum' and was designed to improve the quality of LAN fertiliser granules produced using the latest energy efficiency and waste minimization technologies.
"Sasol's investment in this plant will ensure more high quality product is made available to meet growing industry demand and' importantly' supports the company's continued investment in the South African agriculture industry.
A strong agricultural sector is critical in the delivery of government's broader developmental objectives and Sasol is proud to be contributing to the industry's growth'" said André de Ruyter' Senior Group Executive' Global Chemicals and North American Operations' Sasol.
"This is a significant milestone for Sasol Nitro. Our new plant represents the best technology can offer for the production of LAN fertiliser granules' ensuring customers receive only top-quality products through stream-lined and customer-centric service'" said Marius Brand' Managing Director' Sasol Nitro.
Sasol Nitro is the leading manufacturer of LAN and ammonium sulphate fertilisers in South Africa. The LAN and ammonium sulphate fertilisers are complemented by the company's range of ammonium nitrate- and ammonium sulphate-based NPK (nitrogen' phosphorous' potassium) fertiliser blends' both in liquid and granular form. Sasol Nitro also markets a range of speciality fertilisers.
Sasol Nitro recently commissioned a Customer Contact Centre to assist customers with quotations' orders' credit applications' scheduling' account queries and technical support. Sasol Nitro's FertExTM electronic fertiliser recommendation program further supports customers with the latest local and international research information.
Granules produced by the new plant have harder physical properties' enhancing shelf life and narrowing particle size distribution. These product qualities improve planter dosing accuracy' enhancing the value proposition of Sasol Nitro's LAN customers.
"We are proud of our investment in the local agricultural industry and are committed to promote the South African agriculture industry through investment and capacity building'" said Brand.
Sasol increased its capital expenditure in South Africa by 14% in the past financial year to R18.8bn' which represents approximately 70% of total capital expenditure. As part of the company's on-going investment in South Africa' Sasol will invest R200m in the Govan Mbeki Municipality in Mpumalanga and Metsimaholo Municipality to enhance the sustainable development of the communities in both regions' over and above Sasol's existing social investment.

Big Questions About Transportation Near Barclays Center
Today Norman Oder, the journalist/blogger who runs Atlantic Yards Report, has a piece on Streetsblog about "three big unknowns" related to transportation planning in advance of the Barclays Center arena's opening in September. Those unknowns include that there still hasn't been an announcement about the official plan to encourage arena-goers to use mass transit even though one was "anticipated" last December but is now expected to be released in May; that developer Forest City Ratner hasn't said how big the 1,100-space surface lot next to the arena is going to be even though construction on it is supposed to start next month; and that it's still not clear if the Carlton Avenue Bridge will be complete by the time the arena opens in September. Following up on the Streetsblog post on his own site, Oder digs deeper into the Carlton Avenue bridge question. It boils down to there being a lot of evasion from Forest City and state officials about whether or not the bridge is on schedule to open when the arena does. Here's the kicker, and how it relates to Atlantic Yards development beyond the arena: "The bridge reconstruction is part of an 'Arena Opening Condition' required by the Atlantic Yards Development Agreement. However, failure to meet that condition would result in only the freezing of Forest City Ratner's rights to move forward on any new residential development. Forest City is, as of last month, not expected to have the first tower started by the arena opening, but presumably it would make opening the bridge an even higher priority. So a delay might not be significant."

text: He called himself a big buck, a hard target to hit. Fans of the Detroit Lions called for his head. The fans got their wish when owner William Clay Ford fired coach Wayne Fontes Thursday. Fontes, who had one more year left on his contract, was the winningest coach in Lions history. Yet he also lost more games than any other Lions coach. Fontes compiled a record of 67-71. But he was just 1-4 in the NFL playoffs and that, as much as anything, led to his downfall. "Don't feel sorry for me," Fontes said in an unexpected appearance after Ford made the announcement at a news conference in Pontiac, Mich. "It's a chapter in my life that's over." Fontes had kind words for the man who made the final decision, calling Ford "the best owner in the National Football League."

Forget the birth certificate and take this to the bank: The all-in Toronto Blue Jays will target Justin Morneau if the Minnesota Twins make him available. Nobody in the Blue Jays organization will say otherwise.
Morneau stepped in it earlier this spring when he told Foxsports.com that playing for the Blue Jays would be "cool."
Morneau, who will make $14-million (U.S.) in this, the final year of his contract, reversed field slightly after his comments created controversy, coming as they did at a time when the Twins are uncertainly retooling. But those who know the New Westminster, B,.C., native maintain he would be open to a deal, and that there was truth behind his statement that: "[Toronto] is one of those intriguing places, where if you win you have the whole country behind you. I grew up in Vancouver, and I was a Blue Jays fan. It's nationwide. I would be cool, but like I said: I'd rather win here [Minnesota]."
Morneau went 2-for-4 with a double Tuesday in an 8-4 Twins win over the Blue Jays, playing for the third day in a row as he prepared to represent Canada in the World Baseball Classic.
Like everybody else with Baseball Canada, Morneau was surprised at Russell Martin's bizarre decision to back out because neither the Pittsburgh Pirates nor Team Canada would allow him to play shortstop instead of catch. Martin is a converted infielder but he's never played shortstop in the Majors. "The desire to play the position … I think that's kind of got everybody wondering what the decision-making process was behind that," he said.
Morneau is willing to play first base or be a designated hitter for Team Canada, and while his batting average against left-handed pitching has fallen since he suffered a serious concussion in July, 2010 – he hit just .232 against lefties in 2012, at one point in June batting .097 against southpaws – a motivated Morneau, playing for a contract, might be an upgrade over Adam Lind, who will have a shorter leash than any other hitter in the lineup under John Gibbons. Lind has looked good early in the spring – "He's off to a good start," said Gibbons. "He's bearing down. He knows it's a big spring for him."
Edwin Encarnacion deserves to be the Blue Jays' Opening Day first baseman, but it's not out of the question that a contending team with money to spend might look at some type of DH-first base rotation between he and Morneau.
In fact, in the case of the Blue Jays, it's likely.

Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa that lies just to the west of Mozambique and to the north of Botswana and South Africa. Like its neighbor to the west, Zambia, most of Zimbabwe's elevation is above 1000m or 3000ft. It also has two distinct seasons: a rainy season from late October through March. Zimbabwe falls in the tropic zone and much of its land is savannah plains, although it does have some more humid and mountainous regions in the east where tropical forests can be found. Unfortunately, large amounts of deforestation have occurred, which has led to a dramatic decrease in the amount of trees and forests.
Zimbabwe declared its independence from Great Britain in 1980 and has been battling with political and economic issues since. The quality of living has dropped in the past decades, with the average life expectancy at birth for males dropping nearly 50% to 42 years of age (Wikipedia credit) and infant mortality rate rising. It is also estimated that roughly 1 in 4 people in Zimbabwe has been infected with the HIV virus. The difficulties have also impacted the wildlife of Zimbabwe, and in 2007, it was estimated that roughly 60% of its wildlife has been killed off due to poaching and deforestation.
Despite the sharp decline in wildlife, Zimbabwe still has a wide range of wildlife, and all of the big five can be found here. The big five are: buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino.
Zimbabwe is bordered by two large rivers, which makes it an excellent location for game viewing. The Limpopo River forms the southern border between Zimbabwe and South Africa and is home to many large game animals including many species of antelope. The Zambezi River runs along the northwest corner of Zimbabwe and forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The Zimbabwe River is also the location of the world's largest waterfall – Victoria Falls – which can be viewed from either the Zambia or Zimbabwe side. Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park is the largest game reserve in the country and is within driving distance of Victoria Falls. There is a large population of wild dogs here and one is able to see some of the bigger cats including lions, leopards and cheetahs.
Zimbabwe's political and economic difficulties have resulted in a decline in tourism over the past decades, however a handful of conservations the are making an effort to preserve and protect its national parks. Zimbabwe's lodging and safari offerings are of a high standard and safari-goers who are seeking less-crowded parks may be happier here.

Rea plays it cool ahead of his debut in MotoGp
Ballyclare's Jonathan Rea will replace injured Aussie MotoGP legend Casey Stoner for at least two races during September in the factory Repsol Honda team.
And having just completed a two-day test in Spain yesterday — where he got within two seconds of MotoGP title contender and new team-mate Dani Pedrosa – we caught up with the 25-year-old en-route to Germany where he will now be re-acquainted with his Honda World Superbike team, prior to racing at the Nurburgring this coming weekend.
"It's been a positive two days but I still haven't got the confidence to attack the track, which requires so much trust," was Rea's initial response on the RC213V factory Honda. "We're not a million miles away but it's just a confidence issue now. Getting used to the Bridgestone tyres is the main thing really.
"It's a work in progress and we're just chipping away. But what makes it more difficult is when you compare yourself after just two days to the guy sitting just next door in Dani Pedrosa, who is one of the best riders in the world."
Showing maturity beyond his years, Rea added: "The last thing I need to do is throw the bike up the road or make a costly mistake."
Then the racer in him took over the PR man and he said: "At times it's bloody frustrating, especially when you see yourself two seconds off the pace."
A lot of racing indeed — five weeks' worth. On the request of Honda's top brass in Japan [HRC], Rea will finish his World Superbike season in Germany and Portugal culminating at Magny Cours in France on October 7, with two confirmed MotoGP races in between at Misano and Aragon during September.
But as Rea explained, you don't turn down such a request from the Honda Racing Corporation, despite trying to focus on his main goal in WSB.
"When it was requested from HRC, my team in World Superbike thought it was a good thing to do. I'm already pretty tired after what we've done so far this season and also the 8-Hour in Japan."
The question is, will this opportunity now open the door for Rea to replace Alvaro Bautista at Gresini Honda next term?
His response was cautious, yet honest. "First off, I'm a substitute rider for Casey Stoner who is injured, but for me it's a great experience." But on the subject of 2013, he said: "There's pretty much only one prototype ride left in the MotoGP paddock. We are still talking to try and get riding that bike and the next few weeks will see how that pans out."

13-year-old admits to Perham bomb scare
A 13-year-old New York Mills student is the suspect in a phoned-in bomb scare that shut down Perham High School for two hours May 13.
Students were evacuated Tuesday morning, after a bomb threat was received at the high school offices.
Perham Police Chief Brian Nelson was interviewing the suspect by about 9:30 a.m. At about 10 a.m., after school staff and law enforcement personnel had conducted a physical sweep of the building.
"The kid involved was confronted, and he admitted it," said Nelson.
The call came in at 7:50 a.m., before many of the students had arrived. Staff were stationed at each entrance, and directed arriving students to the neighboring Perham Area Community Center.
EMS personnel, police, school staff, along with an Interquest canine (dog) searched the building and grounds. Nothing was found.

Anyone who has ever been part of a volatile parent-teacher conference knows the drama inherent in a situation where two adults disagree about why an elementary school child is having problems.
Add to that the reputation up-and-coming Texas playwright Johnna Adams has for in-your-face confrontations, and the regional premiere of Gidion's Knot at Kitchen Dog Theater holds the promise of something combustible.
The show, directed by KDT co-artistic director Tina Parker, was a finalist for the 2013 Steinberg-ATCA Award for best new play. Talk-backs with the actors and director will follow the Sunday- matinee performances.
Pay-what-you-can tickets will be available to the first 25 patrons April 9, 10, 17, 23 and 24. The play contains adult language.
Continues through April 26 in the Black Box Theater at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary, 3120 McKinney Ave., Dallas. $15-$25. 214-953-1055. kitchendogtheater.org.

What Is Hope? - Poem by Lonnie Hicks
Never was a larger word
than Hope;
all dreams reside there;
In the Future,
resides our desires laid bare;
our Now wants to go there
our Past wants to be washed away
or celebrate there-
inside Hope's Cathedral.
Hope is the Promised Land.
both Means
and Destination.
But, what good does Hope do
if it goes away
what we hope for comes true?
Is there not another dream then
that Hope must then fulfill?
But, here we ask
what then is Hope itself?
Is it my Expectation Confident
that what I want
will come true?
Is it merely that Leap of Faith
that all that currently ails
will dissipate
in my hoped-for future state?
If all is risked on this single word
then we must know exactly
what it is;
for me
what is Hope's meaning for me?
Well the Expectation idea
that Hope is the confidence that
want I want will come true
is too much for me.
I don't have that kind of confidence
do you?
Nothing for me is ever for sure
not even Hope
because, as we all know, Hope can
give way to Black Despair where
by definition Hope has gone
and fled.
Since no one can read our future states
we bob and weave between
hoping for hope
but fearing despair.
I rather like the Leap of Faith Idea
where we all make
the assumption that actions now,
will in future state,
pay off
and Hope will fulfill the expectations
we have placed there.
But note,
it is all too true that Hope
then is fully based
on Leaps of Faith
and then we ask
faith in what?
If all of Human-Kinds Hopes
distill from Human-Kinds Dreams
then upon what faith did cavemen
dream of a better world?
Upon a pagan God,
restless shadows on the cave wall,
incantations said and made?
But the pointed point here is
that our ancestors did have
blind faith in something which
caused them to feel that dreams
they dreamed
had some Hope of becoming Real
and that Hope
had to involve for them an enormous leap
beyond what they could see
in their lives then.
So Leaping then is what we do
even where there is no evidence
in reality that our dreams
however fervently held
will ever actually come true.
So Hope we see
is bound up with
and Leapings
into Voids
with nothing more
than the belief
that in dreaming
we can make it come true-
be brought into reality.
Rather like writing a poem.
Humm, the moral here:
Nothing can be done
unless one
has the dream
and Hope
to make it so
and by hoping bring it
into reality.
This seems to be
the true History
of Human-Kind
at its best
at its

There are burger fans, and there are burger fans. One burger fan in Austin, Texas, decided to make a bed in style of a giant burger. Kayla Kromer is a fast food fan, and loves hamburgers so much that she decided that she wanted to be able to sleep in one.
News: Sept. 11th 2010: It is for sale on eBay
The bed features all the trimmings, with pickle and tomato pillows, lettuce sheets, a cheese slice quilt and a round burger shaped mattress.
Kayla Kromer says that her burger bed was inspired the film Hamburger, in which students sleep in burger-shaped beds. She just could not get the image out of her mind, so decided to embark on a project to build her own.
"Once I get an idea, I have to execute it. So far the hamburger bed is the best bed I have ever owned. Not only does it make me smile, it is insanely comfy." – Kayla Kromer

Dear Melissa,
While applying for a refinance loan for my house our credit report showed owing a bill for $107.00 that we were not aware of. So I contacted the collection agency to verify what was owed with the intention of paying it if I had overlooked it. The collection agency said they did not have the account. I gave them my social security number and exactly what the credit report showed still nothing. The advised me to contact the company that states I owed them the money. I contacted them same thing. I realize at this point I must start the dispute process with the credit bureau however I need this cleared up to close on my house. The mortgage lender wants a letter stating that this account is not in collections. Will a collection agency do that?
Tina R.
Dear Tina,
If the collection agency is reporting an account owed on your credit report, yet they are not showing that you have an account in collections, then yes, they must both send you a letter stating that you do not have an account in collections and remove the account immediately.
I would both call the agency and send them a letter telling them that they are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and that you expect the item to be removed immediately. State that if they do not, you will hire an attorney in response to this violation.
Once you have the letter, not only should this be sufficient for your mortgage company, but do not wait for the collection agency to remove the item from your credit report. Send copies of the letter to all three credit bureaus as well.
Do YOU have a question for Melissa? Email her at melissa@dovcocs.

The Delivery and Control of Quality in Supplier-Producer Contracts
We model the effect of contract parameters such as price rebates and after-sales warranty costs on the choice of quality by a supplier, the inspection policy of a producer, and the resulting end product quality. Both noncooperative and cooperative settings are explored. The paper's contribution is to highlight the importance of strategic and contractual issues in quality management.

Letter - Childcare providers are not babysitters
To the editor:
Many people say that being a childcare provider is babysitting, but it is not. There is more to it than people say there is. A person needs special skills and talents to perform this profession. You need to know the difference between guidance and discipline. Guidance is a positive technique to teach children how to learn from their mistakes and wrong doings.
There is specialized training to become an early childhood professional. For example, car seat safety, SIDS, fire safety, shaken baby, CPR and there are many more.
Each day caregivers strive to provide quality care in a safe environment. Recognizing their efforts and valuing the knowledge and skills needed to accomplish this task is a huge step toward valuing family childcare professionals.

"Pentax KP First Shots: Going head-to-head against the Nikon D500 at ISO 819,200!
The Pentax KP has touched down at IR labs, and we're thrilled to have it in our midst. The engineers at Ricoh have been busy indeed, filling every nook and cra
y in this stoutly-built, yet sleek-for-a-DSLR camera, and have primed it for ultra-low-light shooting with a native ISO range that reaches to a lofty ISO 819,200! It's even reported to come "very close" to the image quality of the popular flagship full-frame Pentax K1.
So I guess you can see why we're excited here at IR. Perhaps more than anything else in a camera, what we want most is great image quality, especially as ISO rises. The Pentax KP has now completed its first leg of the lab journey, and our signature First Shots are now ready for the super-curious as well as the casual observers. Has Ricoh struck paydirt with this small yet seemingly powerful APS-C DSLR?
Below are side-by-side crops at 1:1 from our Comparometer pitting the Pentax KP against the enthusiast-grade Pentax K3 II, and also the biggest current DSLR competitor in the similarly-priced Canon 80D, at both base ISO and ISO 6400. We then serve up the headliner in the ISO 819,200 comparison against the Nikon D500!
Pentax KP vs. Pentax K3 II

The United States publicly disagreed with France, one of its closest allies, on Tuesday, after Paris said it would back a Palestinian bid for enhanced status at the United Nations.
"We obviously disagree with our oldest ally on this issue. They know that we disagree with them," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. "But it's their sovereign decision to make, how to proceed." (AFP)

A water quality swimming alert was lifted for the Neuse River area including popular swimming site Green Springs.
A water quality swimming alert was lifted for the Neuse River area including popular swimming site Green Springs.
The alert was issued by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources after samples taken at the site Wednesday showed elevated levels of bacteria.
The water exceeded the single-sample maximum standard of 104 enterococci per 100 milliliters of water for a Tier 1 high usage site.
Thursday samples from the site, which is one of 240 coastal waters sites routinely tested from April through October, showed bacteria levels at less than 10 enterococci per 100 milliliters.
Enterococcus, the organism used for testing, are found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals.
DENR officials said it does not cause illness itself but scientific studies indicate its presence is closely correlate to the presence of other disease-causing organisms.
As a result, people swimming or playing in waters with bacteria levels higher than the standards have an increased risk of developing gastrointestinal illness.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's recent bicycle goal against England earned worldwide praise and the admiration of millions. It was hard to imagine a goal that could possibly top it, one of such immeasurable skill and flash. Then Milan played Anderlecht in the Champions League and things changed with another bicycle swing of the boot.
Off of a free kick, Milan defender Philippe Mexes corralled the ball with his chest right outside the 18 and casually just, you know, went for the bicycle kick. Oh, was it beautiful.
We can argue all day about which goal was better – Mexes had greater accuracy in a tighter window, but Ibrahimovic had to launch the ball double the yards – but we'll just watch them both endlessly and wonder where our lives went awry.

Some may have read Mark Russinovich's blog before. If you have not, he likes to post about ways to use tools, esp. SysInternals, to diagnose strange problems in Windows. This inspired me to try my hand at diagnosing a weird issue with my home computer. A few months before my motherboard died and since it was under warranty and they no longer made that model, Asus sent me a slightly different but better replacement. One major change from the board was that the original had two NICs and the new one had one. That didn't matter to me as I was on a home network anyway but it did cause me some problems.
I tried to avoid restarting this machine because sometimes the network card would decide not to connect to my network. The device manager shows the network card as working properly, but it just doesn't see my home network. A few restarts later and it will magically start working again. At first I thought it was just an old driver. But when I install a new driver, the network card refuses to work and I end up having to rollback.
One of the things I've tried in the past was to disable and re-enable the network card in device manager. But something weird happens when I do this. When I disable it, the CPU usage goes up to about 50% (it's a dual core, so one proc is loaded) and after a few minutes the computer will just completely hang. The mouse cursor doesn't move and I don't even get the courtesy of a blue screen.
After reading Mark Russinovich's blog and attending a few of his talks, I decided to give the SysInternals diagnostic tools a try. I restarted my PC one day and the network card wouldn't connect. So I went into device manager and disabled the network card. Sure enough, the processor usage went up and the device manager application hung. So I pulled up the task manager to see which process was using the CPU:
Weirdly enough, it was the System task. I started Process Monitor to see what it was doing taking up all this CPU. Since this is the system task, I had to enable advanced output. From a quick glance, it looked like a lot of reads were going to a particular registry key. So I did a count on the path to see if that was really the case. It turned out to be true:
I opened regedit and went to the registry key:
This has a value named UpperBindings set to: \Device\{F134ED2C-D7B7-4562-890A-D5746C8C058B}
It's not a whole lot of information to work with. But I thought maybe if I track down the GUID in the registry, I can find more. So I searched in HKLM\SYSTEM and found a registry key at:
This looks like a driver to me because it has a value named DriverDesc set to: Virtual Machine Network Services Driver
After some digging on the internet, I found that the Virtual Machine Network Services Driver belongs to VirtualPC 2007, which is a product I use heavily. I then stumbled upon Virtual PC Guy's WebLog. He has a link to a hotfix for VPC 2007. I figured I'd give it a try but found out that this patch does not apply to my version. I always thought I had the latest version of VirtualPC 2007, but it appears I didn't. So I downloaded SP1 from here.
Installing SP1 did the trick! My network card stopped giving me problems from then on.
