The Hon Tony Burke MP Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities
Interview with Tracey Spicer and Tim Webster, 2UE
E&OE only 9 April 2012
TIM WEBSTER: Now Tracey, I think this is going to be a huge issue for Sydney. They're talking about our population hitting some eight million in the next ten or fifteen years and how we are going to cope? Don't know.
TRACEY SPICER: Well drives us crazy every day. You're reminded of this driving through Sydney on a public holiday when you actually can get around - one of the rare days you can.
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah, it's beautiful.
TRACEY SPICER: Well the Federal Minister for Sustainability, Population and Communities has thrown a grenade into this whole debate by launching a vicious attack on the planning records of state government, saying in every capital city they've made life a misery for long-suffering workers who live too far from their places of work.
TIM WEBSTER: Absolutely.
TRACEY SPICER: Well Tony Burke joins us now. Good afternoon Mr Burke.
TONY BURKE: G'day. I'm actually on the F3 at the moment.
TRACEY SPICER: Oh, what's it like?
TONY BURKE: Look, I'm heading against the traffic at the moment. We're doing something that's being smart at the moment, having a family picnic up at the Central Coast. But I think we'll pay for it on the way home this arvo.
TIM WEBSTER: You will, mate. Tony, this is a pet issue of mine because we keep talking about adding to the population of Sydney because we need the workers here, all of that. But buddy, the infrastructure has not kept anywhere near up to the pace of expansion.
TONY BURKE: And we've even done worse than that because, in planning, we keep putting the jobs at one end of the city and the houses at the other end of the city. Now, as long as you keep doing that, no matter what your population is infrastructure won't keep up. And it's no surprise that when housing estates keep getting opened in Western Sydney and there's not enough job creation happening there, that you end up with packed freeways with all the traffic heading in one direction in the morning and the other direction in the afternoon.
TIM WEBSTER: That's it.

TRACEY SPICER: Minister, what you say makes an awful lot of sense. But if you're so sold on this idea why have you slashed a federal program, the Suburban Jobs program, that actually was helping to provide jobs close to where people live?
TONY BURKE: Oh, when we say helping, it's brand new. So what we'll be announcing this year will be the first time that this program's ever existed to do anything. So we'll...
TRACEY SPICER: But you slashed the existing program from a hundred million to forty-five million already.
TONY BURKE: You're right. We had hopes for the program to start bigger than it will. This is still the beginning of it, but let's compare it with what happened before we announced this program. Before we announced this program the amount of money available for it was zero.
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah, but see so...
TONY BURKE: It's an area...
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah, I'm with you, but look Tony...
TONY BURKE: Yeah, but I don't want to downplay the fact that you'd rather there weren't budget cuts.
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah, absolutely.
TONY BURKE: So I would have preferred if we had a hundred million. You get tough budgets and money goes down. So I'm not going to squib that part of it.
But it's still true that this is an area where up until now it's been purely state responsibility. Federal Government and your federal bureaucrats always say to you, oh it's not your responsibility, we shouldn't be stepping there.
TONY BURKE: I just felt we couldn't let it go on any longer without trying to open up job opportunities that are a bit closer to where people live.
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah, now, what has to happen, I think, is that, we'll just talk about our government in this state, because I know it happens everywhere else. And it's politically sensitive to offer all of these big huge infrastructure projects and then not come through with them. Now it's just happened time and time and time again here, in New South Wales, to the point where we're going to finish the M4, we're going to extend the M5, we're going to take the M7 around to the F3 which should have happened in the first place. But Tony, none of it ever happens. So what has to happen in the planning process for that to take place?
TONY BURKE: Look my concern and what I've wanted to make the point about today is, even if you were keeping up in some way with those promises that keep getting made, as long as you muck up the planning you keep creating the next problem. And so you end up with a situation, we saw when the M5 East was first opened, where you had a fantastic road for about three months and then before you knew it, it just started piling up and backing up. And...
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah, mate, sorry, can I add to that, people who live where I live are now going through the absolute inconvenience of the M2 being expanded to three lanes both ways and it bloody well should have been that to start with.
TONY BURKE: That's right. So what I'm wanting to say with this is, the infrastructure debate will always go on and that'll continue. But let's, at the very least, stop making it worse. And there has been a lot of conversation for a lot of years about infill, about trying to get more homes where
the jobs are.
What we haven't talked about is the flip side of it, of trying to get more jobs where the homes are...
TRACEY SPICER: Tony, in this state, in New South Wales, isn't a lot of this Bob Carr's fault, your federal colleague?

TONY BURKE: I think you can go to every state capital and you can look at politicians from both sides and you can run a long list of people that haven't got it right. But one thing I will say...
TRACEY SPICER: But he would have to up the top. They were in power for sixteen years.
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah, the top of the list [he] would be, yeah.
TONY BURKE: The one thing I will say for those years of the Carr Government, on the flip side of it, on trying to get infill, trying to get more homes where the jobs were, and that was all those housing developments in the city and things like that, they have taken significant pressure off. So on that part of it; I do think that Government got a tick. On the flip side of it, of when you're opening housing estates, are you creating enough job opportunities out there in the outer suburbs, I don't think anyone has come close to getting that right.
TIM WEBSTER: Well, you know, Chris Brown and others have made the point to me often, I mean, Parramatta should be a second hub in Sydney and because all of the housing estates are in the west and people have to come into town to work, so if Parramatta was a second hub then, you know, you're half solve- well, you're not even half solving - it goes some way towards solving the problem.
TONY BURKE: Yeah, it does. But I think to a large extent, you know, Parramatta has already become that geographic centre - or, it's always been a geographic centre, but there's certainly a lot more job opportunity there than we've seen in other areas. But my concern is, you look at all these places where you can go to look about building a new home, it's where your HomeWorlds are and all these sorts of areas.
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah, absolutely.
TONY BURKE: They then become the new land release straight after. But when you drive through those areas you're, you know, far stretched to find enough job opportunities for the housing that's being put there.
TRACEY SPICER: Oh, yeah. It's ridiculous.
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah. And this might sound simplistic Minister, but why wouldn't we - and let's just use our state as an example - go through this planning process with all of - with you, and with the state government and say, okay, this is what we need to get done. Put them in order. Make it the M4, the - whatever it might be. Put them in order, then find the money and actually do them instead of promising to do them and never doing it.
TONY BURKE: That's right. This is where the sorts of projects - I mean, I've got to go through my department before it comes back here for decisions, but the sorts of projects that are starting to come forward under this [unclear] year plan of Suburban Jobs, I think are really impressive. We've
got one where the University of Western Sydney have put forward an employment hub that builds on the resources of the university and creates a whole lot of land that they've got available.
TIM WEBSTER: Excellent.
TRACEY SPICER: That's great.
TONY BURKE: This will generate local jobs. There's another one outside of Sydney, I'm sorry, a Victorian one that I've seen where - what - they've got a lot of construction happening in the area, but what they're wanting to do is create a hub where there's a place that all those subcontractors can actually have a place of business to try to make sure that the subbies that get the jobs out of that housing growth are actually locally employed and locally engaged, rather than being people...
TIM WEBSTER: Very clever. Very clever.
TRACEY SPICER: It's a terrific idea.
TONY BURKE: Yeah.

26/06/2012 http://www.environment.gov.au/minister/burke/2012/tr20120409.html
TRACEY SPICER: Tony, this, of course, speaks to a bigger debate about Big Australia. What is your target for an Australian population in say, 2050?
TONY BURKE: We don't have a target and if I can say, every time someone's tried to set one they've got it horribly wrong. Right at the moment, for example, we have a higher demand for workers than we've ever had, but a lot of the demand for workers at the moment that we have is actually for people in the construction phase of major projects. So if you go for a major mining project in Western Australia, for example, the number of people can - required during the construction phase can often be, you know, ten times the number of jobs that you have long term, once you're passed that stage.
TRACEY SPICER: I understand that, but as Population Minister of a federal government, surely you should have some idea of where you would like this nation to be heading.
TONY BURKE: Now look we - our approach is quite different to that. And a lot of people wanted me to come up with the magic number. I think you've got to be honest. There isn't a magic number. It depends on where we live and how we live and this is why we've created programs like Suburban Jobs. You can be a country that supports more people if you allow people to live closer to work.
If you have your infrastructure keeping up, then you can deal with these sorts of things, and if you keep your training up so that you're actually providing skill within your local employment base rather than entirely relying on your immigration system to always catch up with skills that we're not training people for here.
So those sorts of challenges actually make a bigger difference to people's lives than if I were to come up with some sort of magic number, only to find out in fifteen years' time that, like every other government, we had got it wrong.
TIM WEBSTER: Yeah. Good on you. Thanks for your time. Good to talk to you.
TONY BURKE: Good to talk to you. Thanks.
TRACEY SPICER: Thanks Tony.
TIM WEBSTER: That's Minister Tony Burke, who's the Minister for just about everything. How he gets it all on the business card I don't know.

William Mulholland and the Rise of Los Angeles
(E-bog, ePub)
Beskrivelse: William Mulholland presided over the creation of a water system that forever changed the course of southern California's history. Mulholland, a self-taught engineer,... Læs mere was the chief architect of the Owens Valley Aqueduct-a project ranking in magnitude and daring with the Panama Canal-that brought water to semi-arid Los Angeles from the lush Owens Valley. The story of Los Angeles's quest for water is both famous and notorious: it has been the subject of the classic yet historically distorted movie Chinatown, as well as many other accounts. This first full-length biography of Mulholland challenges many of the prevailing versions of his life story and sheds new light on the history of Los Angeles and its relationship with its most prized resource: water. Catherine Mulholland, the engineer's granddaughter, provides insights into this story that family familiarity affords, and adds to our historical understanding with extensive primary research in sources such as Mulholland's recently uncovered office files, newspapers, and Department of Water and Power archives. She scrutinizes Mulholland's life-from his childhood in Ireland to his triumphant completion of the Owens Valley Aqueduct to the tragedy that ended his career. This vivid portrait of a rich chapter in the history of Los Angeles is enhanced with a generous selection of previously unpublished photographs.

The Venice Poster Gallery, a roving pop-up featuring vintage movie posters, opens Friday evening at home decor store Merchant in Santa Monica.
Stephanie Stuart, the owner of Venice Poster Gallery and of the Golden State Store on Rose Avenue in Venice, has been collecting movie posters for two decades and has amassed a collection of more than 600 pieces from the silent film era through the 1980s.
"I'm the daughter of a film editor," Stuart said. "I grew up appreciating these posters as art pieces and have been adding to my collection for years."
Friday's show will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. and will feature posters from the 1960s and '70s. The highlight of the show is a large-scale poster from the film "Easy Rider." "It's a six sheet [81 by 81 inches] and will easily take up the entire north wall of the space," she said.
Denise Portmans, owner of Merchant, which opened in March, hosts art openings on the last Friday of every month. Her shop showcases furniture and home decor from the 1960s and '70s.
"These posters mix beautifully with the pieces in my shop. It's nice for people to see how visually compelling the posters can be in a home setting," Portmans said.
Posters will be priced from $200 to $10,000 and on view through Aug. 28.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 795,876, filed May 11, 1977, and now abandoned.
The subject invention relates generally to digital data communications and more particularly to apparatus employing multiplexing to combine a plurality of digital data channels for transmission over a single transmission path. The invention provides apparatus for automatically varying the channel configuration and is particularly useful in conjunction with digital data modems.
In the prior art, digital data modem apparatus is known for interfacing with data processing apparatus at either end of a transmission channel such as a telephone line. Multiport modems are also known which provide a plurality of channels for communication with a similar plurality of channels of the associated data processing apparatus. The multiple channel information is multiplexed for transmission over an individual line. Multiplexing is typically accomplished by TDM (time division multiplexing) with bit-by-bit interlacing of channels. Of course, many methods of multiplexing are known and could be used according to the invention.
In initiating communication across a transmission line between modems, it is generally known in the prior art to provide a sequence of initializing signals, in what is sometimes referred to as a "handshaking" operation. Such signals may indicate when a data source actually wants to transmit data or wants a channel at its disposal ready for transmission. An example of the former alternative currently in use is RTS (request to send or ready for sending). An example of the second alternative is DTR (data terminal ready) or DSR (data set ready). RTS is present only while a transmission is in progress, while DTR will be present throughout the time that the data source is engaged in interactive communication with a device such as a CPU. It is also known to provide DCD (data carrier detect) and RLSD signals (receive line line signal detect). It is known not only to provide DCD in the presence of a data carrier from a communicating modem but also to set DCD low upon receipt of a coded inverse of the RTS signal (RTS). One commercially available modem incorporating the use of signals as described above is the Milgo 96 MM. Such signals may be particularly taken advantage of in accordance with the invention as will be presently described.
Known multiport modems contain the necessary circuitry for switching between various port configurations in response to commands set manually by an operator. Such channel allocation or port reconfiguration is useful when data traffic patterns differ relatively infrequently in a known manner. It is then possible to set up a mode switching schedule which requires the intervention of an operator from time to time to effect mode changes. Moreover the actions of two operations, one manually operating a modem at each end of the transmission line, must obviously be coordinated. To make more efficient use of the expensive telephone channels, it would be desirable to have a dynamic port reconfiguration capability wherein the data processing apparatus and modem system would cooperate to reconfigure ports rapidly and automatically within operator intervention.
It is therefore an object of the invention to reconfigure modem port configurations without manual intervention.
It is another object of the invention to automatically coordinate mode switching at two modems linked by a transmission path.
It is a further object of the invention to enable dynamic port reconfiguration, allowing a modem or multiplexer to adapt to changing traffic patterns flexibly and in an unscheduled manner so as to obtain the optimum use of available bandwidth at any given time.
To attain these and other objects of the invention, circuitry is provided which automatically detects a request from cooperating apparatus to change the multiplexing arrangement (port or channel configuration) and automatically provides control signals to cause the multiplexing apparatus to effect the desired change.
Further, according to the invention, when an apparatus having ports providing data input/output channels to a first data modem requests a change of port (channel) configuration, the request is detected, held and an indication thereof sent across a transmission path to serve as a port reconfiguration request to a second, cooperating modem. After a suitable delay to allow the second modem to switch to the proper port configuration, the first modem, originally presented with the port reconfiguration request by the data processing apparatus, switches to the new port configuration. The data modem or multiplexer at the end of the line where the request for a new port configuration originates is treated as the master unit while the multiplexer modem at the other end of the line is the slave. Port configuration mode switching is made demand-dependent so that when a data source does not demand a channel, its channel is reallocated to the active data sources.
According to another feature of the invention, a modem user can take advantage of master clocks in controlling data processing apparatus at two modem sites to synchronize operation between the two modems. Direct software synchronization is thus made available, removing the need to transmit synchronizing information.
Another important aspect of the invention is the provision of a sequencing technique for switching from one port configuration to the next utilizing handshaking signals presently employed in communication systems employing modems. Hardware simplification is thereby greatly facilitated and problems encountered in adding and deleting channels are overcome.
The preferred embodiment and best mode contemplated for implementing the just summarized invention will now be described in conjunction with the drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram illustrating the apparatus of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of channel allocation circuitry.
FIG. 3 illustrates a port configuration selection sequence according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating the operation of the preferred embodiment of the invention in dropping channels from active to inactive status.
FIG. 5 illustrates the operation of the preferred embodiment of the invention in adding channels from an inactive to an active status.
FIG. 6 is a generalized block diagram illustrating a port configuration selection circuit according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a port reconfiguration circuit for use at either the master or the slave modem according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates a pair of modems 11, 13 communicating across a transmission channel 15. Each modem 11, 13 interfaces with a data processing apparatus such as a central processor, data terminal or other peripheral. For example, modem 11 may interface with a plurality of ports of a central processing unit (CPU) 12 while modem 13 interfaces with a plurality of ports of some form of data terminal equipment (DTE) 14. As known in the prior art, a multiport modem multiplexes a plurality of channels outputted by associated processing apparatus for communication over a transmission line. For example, a multiport modem may multiplex four ports 16, each transmitting at 2400 bits per second for an overall data rate of 9600 bits per second. The cooperating modem demultiplexes the single channel information. Typically a four wire line, two-way transmission system is utilized such that multiplex and demultiplex operations are performed at both ends of the transmission line.
In practice, it is often desirable to reconfigure the channel or port arrangement. For example, if two channels of a four port device are not currently necessary for transmitting data it is desirable to be able to effectively disable those two channels and allocate their bandwidth to channels which are actively transmitting. In this manner, more efficient data transmission is achieved.
As alluded to earlier, known multiport modems contain the necessary circuitry for switching between various port configurations in response to manually set commands. A typical method of data encoding for a multiport transmitter is indicated in FIG. 2. While FIG. 2 is somewhat simplified, those skilled in the art will readily recognize the manner of implementation of this circuitry.
As shown in FIG. 2, the bandwidth allocation in a four channel system may be determined by a multiplexer clock selection circuit 101 which selects clock signals to be fed to four multiplexer/demultiplexers 103. The clock selection circuit 101 is driven from a clock 105 and includes frequency dividers and logic circuits which derive four divided clock signals interlaced with one another in a cyclic four-phased clock sequence φ1, φ2, φ3, φ4. In response to a code, manually set in the prior art, the clock phases are selectively gated to the multiplexer/demultiplexers 103. The phased outputs of the multiplexer/demultiplexers are combined into a 9600 bits per second signal on a single line by an OR gate 104. The OR gate 104 supplies the 9600 bits per second data to modem transmitting circuitry 106 where the data is modulated according to known methods.
For example, if only two channels A, B of four channels A, B, C, D are required to transmit data, two clock phases are gated to the multiplexer for those respective channels A, B, thereby doubling the bit rate output on those two channels A, B while the other two channels C, D are inactive.
A manner for interlacing the data bits at various speeds is illustrated in the following table:

In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, a modem 11 operating as a master modem receives a port configuration or channel allocation request in coded form from cooperating data processing apparatus such as a CPU 12. The present port configuration is controlled by a code supplied by a mode shift register 17 or other storage device. The code provided by the shift register 17 selects the port configuration as does the code provided by manual selection in prior art multiport modems. A comparator 19 continually compares the port configuration request of the CPU 12 to that indicated by the mode shift register 17. Should the CPU request a different port configuration than that indicated by the shift register 17, the comparator 19 generates shift register control signals, indicative of a new mode code to be provided by the register 17. After a suitable delay provided by timing apparatus 21, the shift register control information is used to change the mode-indicating code in the shift register 17, thus establishing a new port configuration in the multiport modem 11.
The delay provided by the timing apparatus 21 serves to provide a sufficient interval for the second or slave modem 13 to respond and set up a port configuration corresponding to the newly requested port configuration in the master modem 11. During this time interval, the master modem 11 transmits signals to the slave modem 13 which are interpreted as a transmitted port configuration request by the modem 13. Apparatus functioning similarly to that at the master modem 11 is then used to set the port configuration of the slave modem 13. In particular, comparison apparatus 23 detects the new port configuration request by comparing the request code to the mode indicated by the shift register 25. Again the comparator 23 generates shift register control information, which after a suitable delay adjusts the mode indication provided by the shift register 25 in order to alter the port configuration of the modem 13.
In implementing the apparatus just described with reference to FIG. 1, it is found very advantageous to establish a channel priority and reconfiguration discipline in order to simplify the circuitry and utilize existing modem line disciplines. Thus, a port configuration mode selection sequence is established according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in FIG. 3 and Table I below:
TABLE I______________________________________ RESULTANT PORT CON-PORT REQUEST RESULTANT FIGURATIONSPEED A B C D MODE A B C D______________________________________9600 1 X X 1 3 24 24 24 24↓ ↓ X 1 0 5 48 24 24↓ ↓ 1 0 0 4 or 72 24 2↓ ↓ 0 0 0 1 967200 1 X 1 X 3 24 24 24↓ ↓ 1 0 5 48 24↓ ↓ 0 0 1 724800 1 1 X X 3 24 24↓ ↓ 0 1 48______________________________________
Table I illustrates various exemplary port configurations at various data rates. By way of example, the ensuing description will consider the 9600 bit per second speed. The table indicates the mode code consisting of four bits representative of four ports or channels A, B, C and D. The code consists of 1's, 0's and "don't cares" indicated by the character "X". The port configuration corresponding to a particular mode code lies in the same row as the mode code. Additionally, each mode is given an arbitrary number, 1 through 5.
As Table I illustrates, in mode 3, each of the channels A, B, C and D is transmitting at 2400 bits per second. In mode 5, channel D is dropped as indicated by the "0" in the mode code channel under column "D". Channels B and C transmit at 2400 bits per second, while channel A operates at 4800 bits per second when channels A and B are operative, one of two modes 4 or 2 may be selected. In mode 4, the channels A, B are selected to operate at 7200 bits per second and 2400 bits per second, while in mode 2 they operate at 4800 bits per second and 4800 bits per second, respectively. Finally, in mode 1, the mode selection code indicates that only channel A is to be operative and that channel A operates at 9600 bits per second.
Thus, according to the preferred embodiment as illustrated by Table I, the channels are given a priority descending from A to D. The lowest priority channel which is operating dictates the mode. For example, mode 3 is determined solely by whether channel D is operating and is not dependent upon whether channels B and C are indicated as being operative or inoperative. Channel A is the most favored channel, and its rate of transmission continuously increases as other channels drop out.
As alluded to above, the automatic port configuration circuit of the preferred embodiment of the invention compares the channels requested by the newly presented request code vs. the channel active signals. If ports have to be added or deleted, the proper signals are generated to force the remote (slave) modem to switch in the same manner as the local (master) modem. Both master and slave modems are controlled to go through the same sequence in order to arrive at the proper port configuration. According to the preferred embodiment, the sequence is determined according to the flow shown in FIG. 3. According to this sequence, a modem operating in any of the modes 5, 4/2 or 1 may add the channels necessary to return directly to mode 3. However, to move up the sequence of any other mode, for example, from mode 1 to mode 5 requires that an intermediate return to mode 3 be made before progressing the mode 5. In addition, progressing down the sequence from a higher level mode to a lower lever mode requires stepping through any intermediate modes. This technique of sequencing proves to be advantageous in facilitating the signaling technique used to communicate mode changes to the slave or remote modem.
This signaling technique is the use of a DCD (data carrier detect) drop in the slave modem to cause the port configuration circuit at the slave to drop channels to achieve a new mode. According to the scheme already explained, it is always the least significant port which determines when the slave is to fall back. Because a channel which has been dropped is no longer being used at all, there is no easy way of returning directly to a mode where that channel is again active because the time division slot for that channel has been reassigned. Therefore, to reactivate a channel according to the preferred embodiment, the port configuration circuit returns to mode 3 wherein all channels are active and proceeds to remove active channels until the desired state is reached. Since channel A is always active, the DCD drop code for that channel (denoted ADCD) is used to signify and initialize a return to the highest mode, mode three. From mode three, the normal DCD channel dropping sequence is used to fall back to the proper configuration.
An example of the just described sequencing technique is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. In this example, DTR (data terminal ready) is used as the control code at the master site, which is originally configured in mode 3 and then changes to mode 1 and then to mode 5.
FIG. 4 illustrates the dropping of channels from mode 3 to mode 1. Initially, the master modem is in the normal idle state of mode 3 wherein the DTR signals for channel A and channel D are logical ones according to the logic conventions of Table I. Similarly, the slave modem is in the idle state of mode 3, the DCD levels of channel A and channel D representing logical ones. A change to mode 1 is initiated by the master when the DTR levels for channels B, C, and D drop to zero at the same time. A delay of 200 milliseconds (ms) ensues, during which the DCD drop out code for channels B, C, and D is transmitted to the slave modem. A timed delay of 100 ms is provided in the slave modem for the slave to detect the DCD drop and start the change through mode 5 and 4 eventually reaching mode 1. Preferably, the intermediate modes, such as 5, 4 are passed through rapidly as indicated by the 0.416 msec time in FIG. 4. Due to the longer delay at the master, the slave is set up in mode 1 before the master falls back to mode 1. In this manner, it is assured that the slave is ready for the operation of the new master configuration. In a similar manner, any number of active ports can be dropped. When the master falls back to mode 1, normal transmission at 9600 bits per second is resumed on the single A channel.
FIG. 5 illustrates the process of adding ports as the system goes from mode 1, where only channel A is operative, to mode 5, wherein channels A, B, and C are operative. Initially the master modem is in mode 1 with the DTR signal for channel A being positive. Similarly, the slave modem is in mode 1 with the DCD signal for channel A being positive. The change to mode 5 is initiated when the DTR signals for channels B and C go high. A delay of about 200 ms is then provided during which the master transmits all marks to the slave, indicating the drop of the DCD signal for channel A. A delay of 100 ms is then provided at the slave after the drop-out detection during which time the slave switches into mode 3 wherein all four channels are operative. Again, the slave reaches mode 3 before the master switches into mode 3 due to the arrangement of the delay timings.
Once the master is in mode 3, it detects that mode 3 is still improper because the D channel DTR signal is low. The procedure of FIG. 4 is then essentially repeated to drop channel D to return to mode 5. The DCD drop code for channel D is transmitted to the slave, which drops to mode 5 after a delay. A longer delay is provided at the master so that the master switches to mode 5 after the slave and resumes normal transmission over channel A at 4800 bits per second, channel B at 2400 bits per second, and channel C at 2400 bits per second. Thus, FIG. 5 illustrates the technique for returning to the mode wherein all channels are active in order to add ports.
In the above discussion, the use of the DTR and DCD signals has been employed because they are typical signals recognized in transmission between modems. However other signals could be used to provide mode codes to the master and slave modems. For example, the signal known as RTS (request to send) may be used at the master to indicate the mode code as well as the DTR level described above.
As already mentioned, a demand signal may indicate when a data source actually wants to transmit data or wants a channel at its disposal ready for transmission. An example of the former alternative currently in use is RTS. An example of the second alternative is DTR (data terminal ready). Which signal is used as the demand signal from any data source will depend largely upon the nature of the source. If the source is of the kind, e.g. a tape reader, which predominantly transmits in lengthy blocks of some minutes duration alternating with similarly lengthy quiescent periods, it will normally be satisfactory to use RTS as the demand signal. RTS is present only while a transmission is being effected and the use of RTS will allow a bandwidth reallocation to be usefully made in the lengthy periods when the data source is not transmitting and RTS is absent.
Such a procedure will normally be inappropriate when the data source is an interactive source, such as a data processing terminal, because an interactive source tends to switch rapidly between transmitting and quiescent states and concomitant rapid mode switching is undesirable. In this case the demand signal can be DTR which will be present throughout the time that the data source is engaged in interactive communication with the device, such as a CPU (central processing unit) at the slave end of the line. Bandwidth reallocation will then only occur when the data source drops DTR because it no longer wants to be in communication with the CPU.
As also alluded to above, it is known not only to provide DCD in the presence of a data carrier from the master modem but to set DCD low on receipt of coded RTS. A conventional format for coded RTS is a train of all ones for a predetermined interval which may be about 200 ms in the case of channels B, C and D, although it is also possible for a specific digital code word to be assigned to coded RTS.
The slave modem detects coded RTS in channels B, C and D. As described above, this action is delayed to ensure reliable detection (otherwise detection could arise falsely from a longish train of all ones arising during normal data transmission).
FIG. 6 illustrates a simplified block diagram of a generalized circuit providing port configuration control in a master or slave modem according to the sequencing and coding technique just described in connection with FIGS. 3 through 5. This circuit includes a magnitude comparator 31, two timers 33, 35 and a mode-indicating shift register 37. The magnitude comparator 31 compares the inverse of the channel active signals B, C, and D provided by the mode-indicating shift register 37 to the inverse of the port DTR signals (master) or the port DCD signals (slave). Th channel active signals are supplied by translating the shift register output code in a decoder 36. The inputs to the magnitude comparator 31 are labeled collectively X and Y, respectively.
The relation of X and Y indicates the nature of the channel reconfiguration required. For example, if it is necessary to go from mode 1 to mode 5, the input ABCD to X will be 0111 whereas the inputs ABCD at Y will be 0001. In this case, X>Y, the shift register is automatically loaded with the mode 3 indication. The load mode 3 signal is delayed by the timer 35 which times out an interval as discussed above with respect to FIGS. 4 and 5. On the other hand, if X is less than Y the indication is that a channel needs to be deleted. In this case, the shift register 37 is merely stepped to the next mode code, after a suitable delay provided by the timer 33. If after one step, the comparison X<Y is still true, the shift register 37 will be again stepped to attain the next mode. When X finally equals Y, an idle state exists wherein the mode requested is equal to the active channel configuration (channel active mode). Of course, it will be appreciated that in this discussion, the importance of the comparison function is to determine whether channels need to be added or deleted. Various logical schemes and conventions may be derived to provide this indication from the pertinent channel codes without departing from the scope of the invention.
FIG. 7 illustrates in detail a circuit according to the preferred embodiment of the invention which may operate as either the master or slave reconfiguration control. The master/slave selection is made by a control strap which controls multiplexers, as will be discussed below.
In the master mode, the control signals, for example the DTR signals from four ports 16, are presented to a four bit latch 39. The contents of this latch 39 are transmitted by a multiplexer 41 to least significant port control logic 43 and then to a comparator 45. The comparator compares the channel active signals at input X to the output of the least significant port control logic 43 and provides output control signals to a shift timer 47 or a load timer 49. The shift timer and load timer 49 are connected through a multiplexer 51 to control a mode-indicating shift register 53. The equivalent X=Y or idle output of the comparator 45 is fed back to latch control logic 55 which controls operation of the latch 39.
A control strap 57 selects between the master and slave modes of operation of the circuit. In the master mode of operation, the multiplexer 41 is caused to transfer the output of the four-bit latch 39 to the least significant port control logic 43. In the slave mode, the multiplexer 41 gates the DCD signals from a bus to the least significant port control logic 43. The control strap also causes the multiplexer 51 to gate the 200 ms output of the shift timer 47 and the 200 ms output of the load timer 49 to the mode shift register 53 in the master mode. In the slave mode, the 100 ms outputs of the load and shift timers are selected by the multiplexer 51. The multiplexers function as gating switches and are well-known in the art.
In the master mode, the latch 39 is normally sampled at a high rate. However, when a change in condition is detected such that the idle output of the comparator 45 no longer indicates that X=Y, the latch control logic 55 causes the latch 39 to hold or latch the new requested mode indication.
The latch control logic 55 includes an AND gate 59, a NAND gate 61 and a delay, flip-flop 63. The AND gate 59 receives an input indicating X≠Y and an input indicating the master mode has been selected. Assuming these conditions are satisfied the output of the AND gate 59 is high as is the output of the normally reset delay flip-flop 63. In this event, the NAND gate 61 produces a low output which indicates the latch condition and disables the sample clock via an AND gate 65. As may be noted, when X≠Y or the master mode is not selected, the output of the NAND gate 61 will be high indicating the sample mode for the latch 39.
The delay flip-flop 63 is provided to assume proper operation when mode three is selected. In this event, ADTR will change (go low as here discussed) to signal the slave modem. To prevent the comparator from erroneously detecting inequality and latching the low ADTR signal, the delay flip-flop responds to a load command to inhibit latching until ADTR resumes its original (high) state. As shown in FIG. 7, this operation is accomplished by clocking the delay flip-flop at the baud rate, supplying its D input with the load command and its reset input with the ADTR signal.
The latch 39 thus functions to prevent any interrupts or change in inputs until the port-configuring circuit has completely processed previous changes. In this manner, control signals may be generated and sent to the slave and completed before new interrupts for new port allocation reqeusts are honored.
The code selected by the multiplexer 41 is then transmitted to the least significant port control logic 43 wherein the least significant channel is given priority. The least significant channel present will force the more significant channel information to the active state, essentially filling in the "don't care" states in Table I. Channel A information is not affected by this circuit. The operation and structure of the least significant logic gating is represented by the following Table II.
As mentioned earlier, the magnitude comparator, which may be a standard digital comparator provides X>Y, X<Y and X=Y outputs. These indicate respectively that a channel mode requested is that which is currently configured. The idle or X=Y output of the comparator 45 is returned to control the latch control logic 55. The condition X≠Y initiates the latch operation. The X<Y output goes to the shift timer 47, which provides a shift command to the mode shift register 53 after a time duration selected by the multiplexer 51 as explained above. The X<Y load indication triggers a load timer 49 which causes the mode 3 code to be loaded into the shift register 53 after the period of time selected by the multiplexer 51. The shift timer and load timer may both be conventional counter circuits.
Upon receiving a shift command from the shift timer 47, the shift register rapidly shifts through tis output states until equality is detected by the comparator 45. This function is represented logically in FIG. 7 by an AND gate 50, which in response to the shift signal from the timing apparatus 47 gates a clock to the shift register until the IDLE output is produced by the comparator 45. If, upon loading mode 3, equality does not result, the X<Y output of the comparator 45 is activated, instituting the shift sequence just described.
When not in the shift or load states, the mode shift register 53 simply holds the mode indication at its outputs. The mode indication may be applied to a suitable strap to select either mode 2 or mode 4.
Thus, in overall operation in the master mode, when a new channel configuration is requested, the comparator 45 outputs either a shift or a load command. These commands are suitably delayed by the timers 47, 49. During this delay, signals are sent across the channel to the slave modem. In particular, channel drops are detected from the output of the four bit latch 39 and the appropriate drop code sent. Apparatus for sending the drop code is fed with the latch output via lines 40, and is well-known in the art. When it is necessary to load mode 3, the code sent to the slave modem is sent upon detection of the load indication from the comparator 45 on line 42. At the end of the timing cycle as determined by the timers 47, 49 the proper shift or load command is sent to the shift register 53. The mode of the shift register is then returned to the comparator 45 to determine whether another change in the shift register contents is required or whether an equal condition has now been achieved.
In the slave configuration, the latch 39 is switched out by the multiplexer 41. The basic circuit operation is still the same with the exception that the DCD signals are presented to the least significant bit logic and the comparator 45. The timer multiplexer 51 selectes a shorter duration and a DCD command must be present for the duration of the timing cycle in order for the circuit to react.
According to the invention, other methods may be used to synchronize the port configuration switching at physically separated modem sites. One such method is to provide an FSK (frequency shift keyed) secondary channel or a totally independent data path for transmitting the synchronizing information. Such a channel path can be provided internally to the data set or by external equipment.
In another method the modem user can synchronize two systems by requiring port configuration simultaneously at previously determined times. For example, at the end of the day the apparatus cooperating with each physically separate modem such as a computer or data terminal (DTE), may assign a particular channel for a specific transfer of data. Since the modem-controlling apparatus at each site has a master clock, synchronization in accordance with these master clocks is a simple matter. Because of the synchronized master clocks at each modem site, there is no need for signalling between the two data sets. The data sets are each strapped to follow the request presented at the data terminal equipment (DTE) interface. Since each modem is under master control, this shychronizing technique is called master/master. By operating in the master/master mode, a user can effect direct softward control of the port configuration by supplying his own synchronization codes.
As is apparent from the above discussion, many modifications and alterations may be made in the above described preferred embodiment without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Therefore it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described herein.

Re: Local Boy asking for help!!

Local Boy asking for help!!
Charles Day 8/09/04
I can not find a mention of any DAY burials in the Haworth Cemetery or the Bokhoma Cemetery.There a few smaller cemeteries in that area that have yet to be cataloged ... maybe one of them?
Checking my census files, I also see that there is no record of the family in Oklahoma in 1910, however, the Texas file has them still in Bowie County.
1910 census for Enumeration District 12, 2-Pct (New Boston voting area), Bowie County, Texas [census page 273A]:
Day, Joe M.39TX
Essie (wife)28LA
Husie (dau)11TX
Yancie (son) 9TX
Annie May (dau)7TX
Sussie B. (dau)5TX
Clifford (son)4TX
Mozelle (dau)2TX
Note:Handwriting on the 1910 and 1920 census reports is terrible.I am printing what is my best guess in how the census taker spelled the entry.
In 1920, the census report shows the family inMcCurtain County (minus the father).
1920 census for Frisco District, McCurtain County, Oklahoma:
Day, Essie37LA
Anna M.17TXdau
Sussie B.15TXdau
Saddie M.3TXdau(the entry has either 3 3/12 or 3 8/12 shown ... can't read the fraction well)
They are no longer found in McCurtain County in 1930, but seem to be back in Texas.
1930 census for Greenville, Hunt Co., Texas:
Day, Essie49LA
Saddie M.13TXdau
Carl10OKson(where'd he come from?)
REID, Hazel22TXdau(seems that Mozelle married a Reid and returned to the mother for some reason)
Sorry I can't help any further.

C#.Net How To: Create a WCF Service in Visual Studio 2010 C#.net
How to create a wcf service in visual studio 2010 is much talked topic on the internet. In this article we are going to see how to create wcf web service?. But first let's understand what is WCF service?
What is WCF service?
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a latest technology in web services category. Some people think it as a replacement for earlier web services like asmx (asp.net web service). WCF is a often use to develope and deploy network distributed services based on the principles of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The fundamental characteristic of WCF is Interoperability. This gives you more manageable approach to create and consume web services.
As compared to the asmx web services, WCF services gives you more reliability and security. WCF can do everthing and even more that ASMX (Asp.net web service) can do. WCF is much better than ASMX. Asp.net web services were designed to exchange SOAP messages over HTTP while WCF can exchange message as any format including SOAP and ReST. WCF is not limited to only HTTP protocol, it can make use of TCP, MSMQ or named pipe also. Please read here differences between asp.net web service and WCF service.
In my earlier articles, i have explained how to create web service in C#.net and then how to publish the web service in IIS & how to consume web service.
Watch Video : How to create and consume WCF service
This C# tutorial explains how to create a WCF web service in visual studio 2010. The complete list of WCF tutorials is here.
Before we start to create a wcf service in visual studio 2010 make sure following things are installed in your system –
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows SDK's
- IIS Windows features
- IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration utility
- IIS management console
- ASP.net
Steps to create a WCF service in Visual Studio 2010
- To create a wcf service in visual studio 2010 we need to first create a new WCF service application project. Go to menu File -> New -> Project. Then select WCF under Visual C# installed templates and then select WCF Service Application.
WCF Service Application Creation>
Here I have specified the project name as "MyFirstWcfWebService". Now, click on Ok button.
- If you look at the Solution Explorer, you will get following two code files added in web service project.
- Service1.svc
- IService1.cs. – This is an Interface. We call this interface as ServiceContract.
- You will get following auto generated code in Service1.svc.cs file –
WCF Service – Auto Generated Code
Here, GetData and GetDataUsingDataContract are the web methods. There is no harm in removing these two methods. I am keeping these two methods as it is and adding another method that accepts string and returns a wel come message.
- Add following code below GetDataUsingDataContract method –
public String WelComeMessage(String name){return String.Format("{0}, Welcome to http://www.csharptutorial.in", name);}
- Now open, IService1.cs from solution explorer. You will get following auto generated code –
WCF Service – IService.cs Auto Generated Code
Here, we call Interface as ServiceContract and the corresponding methods are called as OperationContract.
- Now, we need to add OperationContract to our newly created Web method i.e WelComeMessage. Add following code below GetDataUsingDataContract –
[OperationContract]String WelComeMessage(String name);
After adding above, final code would look like –
WCF Service – Final code
- Your web service is ready. Now execute the web service by hitting F5 button. It will open following page.
WCF Service – Directory Listing
- Click on Service1.svc. It will open following page.
WCF Service – URL
To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. Click here to know how to consume the WCF web service using client application. There is another way to test the web service. Click here to know how to test WCF test web service using wcftestclient.
One most important thing is to logg the WCF events and for messages for debugging purpose. Read more on how to enable WCF tracing and MessageLogging.
I hope you enjoyed the article. Could you please share the article on your social media? Thank you!

Canadian firm Gowlings has hired a Simmons & Simmons partner as it continues to expand in London.
David Shasha joined Gowlings as a partner earlier this month and will head the firm's energy, infrastructure and mining group in London.
Shasha is Gowlings' third partner hire since the beginning of October and his hire is part of the firm's strategy to make London a hub for energy and infrastructure work in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Shasha is a former head of energy and infrastructure at Simmons, joining the firm as a partner in 2003. Before that he was a partner at Clifford Chance, where he helped set up offices in Budapest, Prague and Warsaw.
"I was taken by the opportunity this affords me because the firm has a number of international clients and the potential here's considerable – and that's an exciting prospect for me," said Shasha about joining Gowlings.
As head of energy, infrastructure and mining for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Shasha's job is now to build up a team in London and he says the firm is "in ongoing discussions with a number of people at the moment," with the ultimate aim of building the London office to 30 lawyers within the next 18 months.
In London Gowlings now has six lawyers. On 1 October the firm hired British Energy Group general counsel Robert Armour (1 October 2010) and followed that up with the hire of former Norton Rose partner Michael Taylor (6 October 2010).

Nic said, "Maybe you're sick." Revolutionary idea. I made tea, swathed myself in blankets, and took a sick day, because he was right: I have a cold. How did I not realize?
I haven't been sick in at least 15 months. That's miraculous. I'm the kind of person who gets sick at least once a month, because I get sick when I'm stressed and I'm stressed all the time.
Three key changes happened in my life over the past few years. Two years ago I got married; a year and a half ago I transitioned to full-time writing; and a year ago I downsized to a minimalist schedule.
Simply dating Nic did wonders for me. I had poor health through college and Nic fell in love with me during a particularly bad patch. Not only did he take care of me, he helped me eradicate the stressors straining my immune system. He forced me to call in sick, sleep when I needed it, eat more often, and take it easy sometimes. I didn't know how to relax and have a good time; Nic taught me.
I believed if I wasn't giving everything my all, all the time, I was a failure. But Nic loved me when I was useless, when all I could do was sit looking sickly. I was valuable to him even when I wasn't striving. I realized God loves me infinitely more than Nic does and is equally unconcerned with my performance. I'm free to be me; no pressure. I don't have to stress over perfection. I can have fun.
Shortly after we were married, I had to face the fact that Nic made more money being a grad student than I did working my butt off. I hated my job and made squat. So I quit to become a full-time writer and editor. Nic and I agreed that enjoying our work was more important than disposable income. It didn't matter if one of us (me) wasn't pulling our weight financially.
That gave me the freedom to pick my clients without the stress of meeting a monthly quota. I only take on projects I like with people I like. I decide when, where, and how long I work. If I'm sick with another bout of Unhappy Innards, I can work from the toilet or curled up in bed.
People think working from home results in laziness, but for me it resulted in loving my job so much I work more. I work part of the weekend, don't commute, and eat lunch at my desk, so I work 50+ hours/week. I'm more productive and more content--and healthier.
Lastly, since moving to Virginia, I got a fresh slate with my commitments. As I made friends, I kept my schedule deliberately clear. I only hang out with a few treasured people. I volunteer sparingly, resisting the pressure to do more. I know how much time I need for me and I keep it sacred.
It sounds selfish. I have time I could spend helping people. But I know what I'm good at, and it's writing. Writing does help people. Someone has to craft these words. Someone has to communicate clearly and beautifully. For me to do this well, I don't just need writing time, I need unstructured creative time. I need time to dabble on piano, read a book, or turn on music and stare at the ceiling as words fall into place. I need brain-time wherein it appears I'm doing nothing.
I need space for my marriage too. We always keep at least half our week-nights for just us. We can talk, laugh, go on walks, go out for dinner, watch a movie, or discuss the day. Nothing much happens, but that doesn't mean it's unimportant. Connecting every other evening keeps our relationship strong.
After that, I still need time to do chores, eat food, sleep, exercise, and relax. If this means I can only volunteer a few hours each week, so be it. These things are important. They're my wellbeing. If I don't keep this time sacred, I become a sick shell. I lived that way for awhile and it sucks. I'd rather live my pared down, minimal life and be whole than pursue those "worthwhile" pursuits and not have time to enjoy life.
There are a lot of big humanitarian causes I care about and advocate for. But when you, say, rescue someone out of slavery, what world are you welcoming them into? One that's all striving, just like the enslavement they left behind, or one where they finally get to live?
You saved the earth. What for? . . . You do it so people can live their lives. There's nothing more important than that. Falling in love, getting married, buying flats, having kids or not. But real life. That's what you're protecting. ~Rhys in Torchwood (s2e11)
Saying "no" is good, but really hard. Every week I'm tempted: I'm not doing enough. I have time. They need me. Those thoughts look like insecurity ("what I'm doing doesn't matter"), but they're also extremely arrogant.
People don't need me. There are a hundred other people who could volunteer. I might be taking away an opportunity for someone who really needs to get involved. Step down and let someone else take your spot. Do what you're good at, what you're called to do. You've only got 100% to give; instead of giving 10% to 10 things, give 33% to 3 things. You'll make a bigger difference.
When I'm tempted to take on more, I remind myself how good it feels being healthy. No amount of guilt can make me take on more clients or volunteer more hours when I remember the cost is my life.

November 26th, 2005, 01:47 AM #1Do any of you use overstock to sell?
I was selling so much on Ebay and making a lot of money. But that was the good ole days. Now there is so much competition, the fees are high, and the customer service is so crummy that I've switched. I have only sold 3 things on overstock in the past couple of months, but it's refreshing. Anyone else do the switch?

This forum tends to be affiliates rather than auction sellers.
I would suggest you re-register and get a new ID for the forum if you plan to stay. Your current one is pretty spammy.
November 26th, 2005, 11:35 AM #5
I have moved most of my stuff to Yahoo which is free.Not as many sales but with no fees and since it doesn't matter to me how long it takes to sell I am cool with that.

Well this thread inspired Charlie to developed a great Bikini line touch-up product. He's from the old .. No Pain- No Gain.. school. Basically it's pink Ducktape and superglue in a tastefully shrink-wrap package, with a tradename of Peel-a-Squeal. The MLM version is called Squeal-A-Peel, so as not to interfere with various distribution channels. He just needs some Before and After photos to launch the site after the Holidays.Webmaster's... Mike and Charlie

good for light hold
this has a light hold and leaves hair touchable. but if your hair is unruly or has a lot of frizz, this won't be enough. sometimes i mix it with gel to give it a bit more hold.
Was this review helpful to you?
My high hopes were squashed
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jul 26, 2017 | Verified Purchase
I had high hopes for this product but when I applied it to my 4A hair, it almost destroyed it. For weeks my hair could not actually get wet or be deep conditioned after using this product which led to weeks of significant breakage. I have no idea what is in this product that caused this because the ingredients looked ok to me.
Helps a bit with frizzines
Posted by iHerb Customer on Mar 12, 2015 | Verified Purchase
I didn't expect much from this foam, I just tried it on a whim. But it actually does reduce frizziness of my hair a bit. They are far from perfect, of course, but I didn't really expect them to be. I took one star off, because I think it my hair is greasy sooner when using this foam. If you do not have any troubles with greasy hair, I think you can give it a go though.
surprisingly good
Posted by iHerb Customer on Sep 03, 2014 | Verified Purchase
this has watery mousse-like consistency and yet it actually works quite well on my 4a hair. i use a leave in, then oil and finally wrap and roll to do my twists for a twist out. it does give me decent 2nd day hair, but no more. will buy again. would be a holy grail product with stronger hold.
No hold...

Smells OK, but this is almost like water, and does nothing to my hair. Won't buy again.
OK product
Posted by iHerb Customer on May 20, 2014 | Verified Purchase
I tried to do perm rod with this but didn't come out right. I guess it is not strong enough for my time of hair. I will not be buying this again.

In tonight's game against the Washington Capitals, Nashville Predators forward Patric Hornqvist suffered a lower-body injury. This came a day after newly signed forward Viktor Stalberg went down with an upper body injury versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. However, this isn't all bad news.
Due to the nature of Hornqvist's game, it's not a surprise that he got injured. The 26-year-old forward missed half of last season due to injury. However, the timing of the injury is unfortunate – after all, it's just the preseason.
While these injuries are extremely frustrating to the Predators organization and fans, I think there's some light at the end of the tunnel. The Predators were expected to have a real tough decision to make on who would make the last few roster spots, especially among forwards.
Here is where I see the roster at without Stalberg and Hornqvist:
Now, these aren't necessarily what I think the combinations will be. However, this does paint you a picture of where the Preds are at WITHOUT Stalberg and Hornqvist in the lineup in terms of depth.
We know Stalberg will only be out for a month at most. There has been no official diagnosis on Hornqvist but assuming he misses Opening Night, at some point, the Preds will have to make a decision on someone getting sent down. It could be Taylor Beck as he is on a two-way deal.
So in reality, having these two injuries are a bit of a blessing in disguise for Nashville. They won't have to demote someone down right away and give Beck and Filip Forsberg the chance to show what they can do.
While the Preds are definitely at a loss in not starting the season with two players of their top-six forward core, I think there are some definite opportunities for other players to try and prove themselves.

Major Applewhite
December 12, 2010 by staff
Major Applewhite, A look at the main candidates and scenarios coaching replacement for Greg Davis, Texas offensive coordinator following: In what some insiders say that the preference of Mack Brown, now assistant coach Major Applewhite was named co-offensive coordinator with former Longhorns assistant Tim Brewster, who was recently fired as head coach of Minnesota. Applewhite would call the offensive plays and direct the Texas passing game; Brewster oversees the running game. Why it works: Applewhite, still popular with fans, has a relationship with Garrett Gilbert and served as offensive coordinator for Alabama and rice.
Why would not: Is 32-year loan Applewhite? And we hear Brewster wants to truly be a head coach, and interview with the state of Texas this week. In this scenario, Applewhite would still assume the co-coordinator and play-calling duties, but the offensive line coach of the Wisconsin / run game coordinator Bob Bostad would join him instead of Brewster. Bostad would do exactly what he did for the Badgers: The offensive line coach and keep the running game churning.
Why it works: The Badgers are not an implementation team no longer – there is a balance. Why would not: bowls of Wisconsin is not until New Year's Day; Brown would be willing to wait until 2011 to make the rent? Former Lake Travis coach Chad Morris High School, Gilbert has guided to a state championship in the past year QB would be back in Austin and Texas to oversee the offense. It is a further aspect Hawaii Bowl to finish his first season as offensive coordinator of Tulsa.
Why it works: Morris and Gilbert are close, if magic worked together once, why not again?
Why would not: Would Morris calling the plays: the Longhorns start passing on almost every game? Malcolm Brown, are you listening?
A veteran of the Boise State staff, Bryan Harsin is in his fourth season as offensive coordinator for the Broncos and coach quarterbacks. Its success offenses were marked by creativity and big plays. And do not forget he spent a week in Austin in the spring, in collaboration with Brown as coach of access and sharing of information, advice and philosophies.
Why it works: Under Harsin, Boise State offense is the second best score in the country, and groomed in a quart Kellen Moore Heisman Trophy candidate.
Why would not: Would Harsin want to leave Boise, for he is the heir apparent of super-hot head coaching candidate Chris Petersen?
Alabama offensive coordinator Jim McElwain, who took over as boss Applewhite offensive the Crimson Tide in 2008, is another hot coaching candidate to be considered for head coaching jobs. In his second season there, he directed 'Bama to the national title.
Why it works: It will provide the kind of offensive balance philosophy that Texas wanted, but could not achieve in 2010. And he climbed over a major college program to another.
Why would not: Is the immediate future McElwain still an assistant in college? He has already interviewed for the position of head coach of Colorado.
Those probably not make the cut…
… But who will be mentioned as possibilities:
Todd Dodge, a free agent: UT quarterback was crazy-good as Southlake Carroll High School head coach – but mad-bad North Texas.
Dana Holgorsen Oklahoma State: The disciple Mike Leach has done wonders at OSU, but how his crime crisis in Texas?
Gus Malzahn, Auburn: Auburn How much success is because of Malzahn, and how much due to Cam Newton? Moreover, it would not be available until at least mid-January.
