This example shows an implementation of a linear passive bandpass-filter. The filter has an approximate center frequency of 100MHz and a bandwidth of 15MHz to show how to perform small-signal frequency-domain analysis using Simulink® and MATLAB®. Other products available for performing this analysis on Simscape™ Electronics™ models are Control System Toolbox™ and Simulink Control Design™. These two products provide predefined functions to manipulate and analyze nonlinear models using GUIs or a command line approach.
To perform a small-signal frequency analysis, construct a linearized state-space model using the Simulink
linmod command. You must specify input and output ports with Simulink Inport and Outport blocks before invoking the
linmod command. In this example, the Inport and Outport blocks connect to the filter using a controlled voltage source (CVS), a Simulink-PS Converter and a PS-Simulink Converter.
If Simulink Control Design is available you can use either the
linearize function or the Linearization Task node of the GUI. Using the GUI approach you specify input and output ports by right-clicking on the Simulink lines corresponding to these ports and selecting the appropriate point under Linearization Points. Once you do this, these Linearization Points are visible in the model. In this model the Linearization Points are found at the output of the Simulink Inport block and the output of the PS-Simulink Converter block.
Linearize the model using the
linmod command.
linmod computes the linear state-space model by linearizing each block in the model individually. The return value of
linmod is a state-space representation, but
linmod can transform its output to a transfer function or a MATLAB data structure representation depending on how left-hand side of the equation is specified. To return a linearized model in state space form where the extra states associated with blocks that have no path from input to output have been removed, use the following command:
[A, B, C, D] = linmod('elec_ss_analysis',[],[],[1e-5 0 1]);
Bode plots display the magnitude and phase response of a linearized model. Other commonly used analyses for linear systems are step, impulse or Nyquist. These analysis methods, as well as others, are predefined in Control System Toolbox and Simulink Control Design, but can be coded when the above products are not available. The following code creates and displays a Bode plot for a continuous-time system linearized by
linmod using the state space representation. Bode computes the system frequency response H(s) on the imaginary axis, s = j*omega. The frequency response for the state representation is
Specify frequency points
FreqPts = logspace(-4,10,1401); s = 1j*2*pi*FreqPts; % State space response calculation ss_resp = zeros(1,length(s)); I_mat = eye(length(A)); for idx=1:length(s) ss_resp(idx) = D + C * ( (s(idx)*I_mat-A) \ B); end % Plot the response subplot(2,1,1); semilogx(FreqPts, 20*log10(abs(ss_resp))); title('Bode plot'); xlim([1e-4 1e10]);xlabel('Frequency (rad/s)');ylabel('Magnitude (dB)') subplot(2,1,2); semilogx(FreqPts,(2*pi+unwrap(angle(ss_resp)))*180/pi); xlim([1e-4 1e10]);xlabel('Frequency (rad/s)');ylabel('Phase (degrees)')
You can describe the bandpass filter in this example using a transfer function representation. However, the state-space representation is preferable over the transfer function form because it reduces the size of numerical noise errors. The Control System Toolbox documentation section called Choice of LTI Model discusses the computational reliability of different types of models. This documentation explains how response algorithms, like the Bode calculation above, in Control System Toolbox are enhanced to improve numerical reliability and stability.

Looking to boost club enrollment? Toastmasters to hold public service announcement seminar
Is your civic group or club looking to retain or boost membership? Seeking another way to quickly get the word out on your group?
The Allis Chalmers Toastmasters will hold a seminar 9:30 a.m. to noon Jan. 26 to outline ways to write and record testimonials or public service announcements. Non-profit groups are welcomed to attend the event and learn more about PSAs and testimonials – and even have the opportunity to record their own.
Staffing and volunteer demands placed upon members of non-profits may make it difficult to find the time to focus on a quick testimonial to help bring in new members or increase group awareness in the Milwaukee area. This seminar represents a way to start working on those efforts in a collaborative environment.
The event will be held at Village Manor Park, 8621 W. Beloit Road, West Allis. Cost is $10.
The event starts at 9:30 a.m. with coffee, donuts and bagels, and recording sessions begin at 10 a.m. A short session will be given at 9:30 a.m. for those seeking a basic outline of what their PSA should look like and advice on writing a script.
If enough demand exists, a second session may be held.
A few specifics of the event:
• The event is intended to video record Toastmasters or non-Toastmasters public service announcements and testimonials of from 10 seconds to 2 minutes in length for websites and radio and television broadcast.
• Each contestant or group of actors will have 5 changes to record his or her PSA or testimonial from beginning to end. After making multiple recordings of the same PSA or testimonial, you can replay each recording and select the recording you like best.
• There will be three camera backgrounds from which you can choose: A Toastmaster logo-ed background, a white background, and a green screen background. Don't know what a green screen background is? Check out this video for more information about what a green screen background is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8uomlkkXCE
• Following the session, videos can be placed on YouTube upon request.
Those wishing to record a PSA must reserve a spot, and note that they are limited to four recordings per session. Those wishing to RSVP, or for more questions: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jeffery Lee Stock given 46 months in prison
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - A convicted sex offender who was later convicted of second-degree murder in Cocke County is headed to federal prison.
44-year-old Jeffery Lee Stock was sentenced in federal court in Greeneville to 46 months in prison after he pled guilty to interstate travel and failing to register as a convicted sex offender.
In January 2013, Stock pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, arson, and theft relating to the disappearance of Megan Maxwell.
Under the terms of that plea agreement Stock will serve 100 percent of an 18 year sentence in state prison.
Federal Judge Ronnie Greer said he felt Stock was highly likely to commit future offenses and exhibits a very profound lack of respect for the law.
He ordered Stock to serve lifetime supervised when he is released.
William C. Killian, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, stated, "This is a very good example of federal and state law enforcement authorities working together to maximize protection to local communities. Because of the negotiated plea agreement Stock is now on federal supervised release for the remainder of his life, reducing the chances that he will victimize other young women again."

10 Points: Mandel, Jones, Burke's hilarity and Ovechkin
Jonathan Willis
September 19 2012 04:36PM
1. David Ling. There's been lots of actual news the last few days, but as I wrote this I found my mind was on David Ling, currently a member of the Nottingham Panthers of the U.K.'s Elite Ice Hockey League. Why?
Ling played 85 games for Columbus between 2002 and 2004. He picked up eight points. But during the 2004-05 NHL lockout, the then 29-year old recorded 88 points in 80 contests (along with 152 PIM) for the St. John's Maple Leafs. He narrowly beat out Kyle Wellwood for the team scoring title, and outpaced Matt Stajan by a mile, but he also surpassed a long list of other players. Eric Staal would score 100 points in the NHL in 2005-06; he finished 11 back of Ling that year. Thomas Vanek, Zach Parise and a long, long list of other notables also finished behind Ling. Ultimately, Ling finished third in AHL scoring, behind Jason Spezza and Mike Cammalleri.
The point is just that the AHL is a very good league, and while Ling might laughingly be dismissed as expansion era filler and a career minor-leaguer, he bested a lot of guys with brighter futures that year. I don't know who the 2012-13 equivalent of David Ling is, but the Oklahoma City Barons have a few guys – players like Josh Green and Dane Byers – who might just give some of the younger hotshots a run for their money this season.
2. Stephen Mandel's statement. Edmonton's mayor put out a statement yesterday ,seemingly in response to last week's meetings and yesterday's emergence of Daryl Katz in local media. There's a lot of room for disagreement on the arena deal, but at least one paragraph of the release should have broad appeal.
I would openly ask the Katz Group to release their full position to the public – based on the itemized list which was prepared with both the negotiating teams, so that all items and their economic rationale can be fully understood by the people of Edmonton.
In his interview with Edmonton Journal reporters David Staples and John MacKinnon, Katz repeatedly stressed that he would not go into details because he wasn't going to negotiate through the public. With the mayor's request, it would seem that the only thing now standing between in the way of the Katz group explaining itself publicly is the Katz group.
3. Ryan Jones started 2011-12 on the fourth line. The NHL isn't really a true meritocracy. Things like contract status, age, and personality effect where guys slot into the lineup. With that said, it's worth remembering that Ryan Jones opened last season on the fourth line – behind both Linus Omark and Magnus Paajarvi. He passed them as the season went on.
I'm not the world's biggest Jones aficionado, but he did find a way to make the best of a bad situation, by doing what the coaching staff demanded. He didn't have a perfect record in that department – Ralph Krueger scratching him last year stands out – but he did enough to get a stint with Nugent-Hopkins and Eberle, something that eluded Omark and Paajarvi.
4. Brian Burke is hilarious. I don't even need to add any other comment. I'm just going to quote two pieces. From CBC.ca on March 3, 2012:
Burke confirmed that Francois Allaire, who also worked with Burke, Carlyle and Farrish in Anaheim, would remain in his position as goaltending coach in Toronto. "I think we have the best goalie coach on the planet," he said.
From mapleleafs.com, September 18, 2012:
"I regret that I have to deal with this matter publicly but I feel the need to respond. Was there interference from the staff as he said there was? Yes. But it was done reluctantly and it was done to change elements of our goaltending that was sub-par." Burke, who hired Allaire away from his former team in Anaheim three years ago, said Allaire wasn't going to be asked back after the club finished 29th in goals against with a bloated 3.16 average.
5. A rebel league? People like Cam Charron and Derek Zona have suggested a rebel league, similar to the WHA, as a good way of curbing the NHL's tendency to have labour stoppages. I'd love to see it – if for no other reason than I really want to watch high-level hockey – but I can't imagine one being viable in the long-term and it's hard to imagine men with serious money being willing to fund something destined to die in the not too distant future.
6. "BIG BANG Night in Canada." A press release from CTV landed in my inbox yesterday, announcing the creation of a new two-hour block of television programming on Saturday nights to help compensate for the absence of hockey. The network will feature four episodes of The Big Bang Theory in the same timeslot that Hockey Night in Canada normally runs. Senior V.P. of Programming Mike Cosentino:
If anything can fill the void felt today by every hockey fan in Canada, it's humour from Canada's most-watched series. From a scheduling perspective, this weekly stunt is an unmissable opportunity to bring even more viewers and advertisers to CTV on Saturday nights in primetime. Like hockey, THE BIG BANG THEORY has mass appeal with viewers whose statistics are similar when it comes to age, demographics, and loyalty, so there is natural synergy in this scheduling move.
Uh-huh. I included this rather blatant advertising because I do love the show (this is *probably* my favourite clip, though it's hard to choose) but I know the only thing that gets me in front of a television on Saturday night is hockey. In other words: if CBC ends up airing AHL or CHL games, I'll still be watching those. If they don't, the odds are very good I won't be watching TV on Saturday nights.
7. The Community Revitalization Levy isn't made of magic. Daryl Katz's interview with Staples and MacKinnon saw the CRL take on a starring role, with Katz implying several times that the projected tax revenue from it represented a pure windfall to the City of Edmonton. The CRL is an example of what's known as "tax-increment financing" in the United States where tax revenues from big projects pay the cost of those projects.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple, for a variety of reasons. An article from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis does a good job of explaining some of the pitfalls in arguments for spending public money on arenas. A big one is what's known as substitution; to quote the article:
Economic impact studies also tend to focus on the increased tax revenues cities expect to receive in return for their investments. The studies, however, often gloss over, or outright ignore, that these facilities usually do not bring new revenues into a city or metropolitan area. Instead, the revenues raised are usually just substitutes for those that would have been raised by other activities.
In the case of Edmonton, the 2010 Zimbalist report points out the difficulties in greater and more local detail. Basically, there's certainly value to using a CRL, but the old adage that "there is no such thing as a free lunch" applies.
8. Scotty Bowman on former Canadiens' general manager Sam Pollock. Anyone who knows anything about NHL hockey knows that Sam Pollock was a vicious general manager who bent every rule (or, as Lowetide points out, rewrote them when necessary) and ended up with nine Stanley Cups in 14 seasons as Canadiens general manager (his name would end up on the Cup 12 times in all). Scotty Bowman, a part of those successful Montreal organizations, tells us a bit about Pollock's management style in Behind the Moves:
Sam was very prepared, ultra-prepared. He was a hard worker, all hockey. Traveled a lot. He had good insight into his present time, but also into the future. The Canadiens' slogan was 'Kids go marching on,' which meant that he liked players coming up, adding to the team. Frank Selke was like that too, and always had lots of players in the pipeline…. Sam was never a one man show. He was very prepared and always researched everything. He was very analytical. Before he made a trade, everybody had to be onside. I mean, he was a very strong man, but he would make sure that the people who were working for him were all in agreement. He didn't fly by the seat of his pants.
There's a lot to like there, but the importance of always having a crop of young talent pushing for work is hard to understate.
9. A slight change. Earlier this week, I took over from Kent Wilson as the managing editor here at the Nations. Kent's been increasingly involved on the business side of things, so I'll step in and handle more stuff like NationRadio and editing/formatting content for the website. In unrelated news, expect more glitches in everybody's work. Aside from that and the fact that you'll all now think fondly back to the days when NationRadio was posted on Sunday night, this should not be a significant change.
10. Ovechkin's comments. I couldn't resist including Alex Ovechkin's comments on possibly staying in Russia post-lockout:
As to the future, it will depend on what kind of conditions there will be in the NHL with the new CBA. If our contracts get slashed, I will have to think whether to return there or not. I won't rule out staying in the KHL, even past this season.
Two things. The first is that any NHLPA member with any sense is going to play up the possibility of playing somewhere other than the NHL; it's a good bargaining tactic, and one I'd certainly make use of in Ovechkin's shoes. Second: that doesn't mean there isn't truth to it. Depending on the exact conditions, there's a real possibility that the NHL's European content drops in coming years as KHL money becomes more competitive (and also allowing for the favourable tax situation in Russia). This is a threat with merit precisely because the KHL can be a real alternative in some situations.

@Jonathan Willis
Even though the NFLPA used it once before and called it a *win* it really only did a few of the things the players actually wanted.
If the league offices are in NY, I can almost guarantee that's we're the fight will be held in court, not sure if the Canadian non-unionized players (if they go that route) will have any sort of effect, that's the bad part, you just broke your own union.
I also believe for that to also happen they would need to prove and get a ruling of the courts that the NHL bargained in bad faith. That to is not going to happen. IMO
September 20 2012, 01:15PM
@Jonathan Willis
I still prefer the oversimplified and unintelligent argument that goes like this:
League revenue last year was $3.3B. Of that, the players' share (total league 2011-12 salary cap for simplicity) was roughly $1.8B.
That's roughly 55/45 split in the players' favor. The numbers aren't exact but still. HRR deductions by teams, before the players are given their share, accounts for low, single digit percentage of league revenue.
Players' salaries have ZERO cost, while the owners are left with less than half the revenue, and completely real and significant costs.
What am I missing?

Double Props. The owners are in it for a profit,like ANY other business. What the players forget, it seems, is that they are in a great position. The owners hand out ridiculous contracts and drive the prices and salary cap up.
~Maybe the players should buy out the owners and run the league themselves~
Decertification is an interesting option, and I don't think anyone really knows what would happen if the NHLPA went that route.
For one thing, the NHL has a much more significant Canadian presence than other major league sports - which means that predicting the outcome of court decisions is complicated in the extreme.
The other thing is that items like guaranteed contracts would very much be on the table. Of course, the New York Rangers would also be allowed to have a $200 million payroll if they wanted.
All we know for sure is that it would be a paradigm shift, a massive re-ordering of the league. Beyond that, prediction is close to impossible.
If it came down that I would suggest that the League would be a lot smaller as very few teams would be able to play in New York's sandbox and the resultant loss of jobs would not make the players very happy and I suggest its a Pandora's box that neither side would want to open. Also when considering how long court proceedings take we could kiss the NHL goodbye.

Well said. This is the ultimate reason why decertification -> anti-trust -> force the league to operate without a CBA is not the hammer some think it is.
Not only would there be considerably fewer teams in such a situation, and those few teams would be unable to play in Toronto and New York's sandbox, but also the resulting change in economic situation, with fewer buyers (teams), means in fact that the overall salary structure would only differ for a handful of wildly wealthy elite players, while the regular schmuck would probably not see much of a difference.
The only question is whether the players are smart enough to realize this, accept that their current situation is wildly in their favour while their bargaining position is as weak as Khabibulin's save percentage, and just sign the deal offered.
I can say with near certainty that it's as good or better than what they're going to end up with post-lockout.
September 20 2012, 03:16PM
I think the bigger problem with this CBA negotiation is not necessarily how teams divide the money with the players but rather how teams deal with guaranteed minimum floor levels in a salary cap system where not all teams are equally profitable.
So what if the players get 55%, 50% or 45% of the league's HRR (however that gets defined), if the bottom 4-6 teams can't make enough money (even through revenue sharing) to be profitable even while paying players at the salary floor?
The solution may be a highbred luxury tax system of some sort. Maybe let teams purchase an extra few million dollars of salary cap room for a given season, and let those dollars get redistributed to the "have not" teams of the league. To make sure everyone doesn't abuse it, make it a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 dollar value exchange (in other words, team A can spend an extra $10,000,000 into this pool to get an extra $5,000,000 of salary cap room for that season) and cap it at a certain level (a team can't get more than an extra $5 million dollars of salary cap room in a season). I could easily see a few teams like Toronto, Boston, NYR, Philly and Pittsburg taking advantage of a system like this and generating an extra $10M to $20M per year to the have not teams who would turn around and use it to pay their players and cover their operating costs.

Thank you!
Unions and associations were historically formed to protect workers from poor working conditions and low wages. They naturally evolved into more.
But demanding something that doesn't belong to you, or you don't deserve, is where unions and associations get a bad rep.
NHL Players Associations is headed in that direction.

What people seem to forget is that the NHL isn't arguing for the status quo. The players are in a great position based on the last CBA, not the proposed ones. The NHL is after a bigger piece of the pie, while the players realize that if they give in now what happens at the next CBA? and the one after that? and why is it even necessary? The league as a whole isn't in the same financial crisis it was before the last lockout, yet it is currently asking for the same amount of concessions. I'm not saying the players are in the moral right to earn gobs of cash, it's just that you have company (NHL) bragging about record revenues year over year with the salary cap suddenly turn to its employees (the players) and ask for a 24% salary rollback. Based on Friedmann's breakdown of HRR the percentage that goes to the players is determined after cost anyway, so claiming it's cost problems doesn't hold water.
Also, I want to see that 5 year ELC off the table, if anything will kill the NHL it's that. Yakupov is way better off playing in Russia for way more money before signing an FA deal in the NHL, rather than playing for a fraction of the salary (and his value).
Personally I think the NHL should simply implement the reduced salary growth model the NHLPA proposed with perhaps a stationary cap for the next couple of years. The majority of teams are either making money hand over fist, or breaking roughly even, a rollback hardly seems necessary
I like these 10 topic style of posts. Nice work Jdub! More please.
September 21 2012, 07:20AM
Seriously, I still am not getting this emotional stance people are taking about "it's a business they deserve to make money! How Dare the players ask for _____?! They don't deserve it"
It's so silly for a number of reasons. All of which I dont have time for now. All I can say is that if we didnt have a CBA the owners would for the most part end up spending a lot more money. They feel players are worth it for the most part.
What the heck is the point of taking sides? Both are wrong really. Taking some emotional or moral stance is just silly.

We keep hearing about 3.3 billion gross revenues, but what are the expenses after player's salaries are paid out? What I would like to see is a breakdown by team what their NET revenues are. Who's making money and who's losing it. The league has increased revenue by a billion since the last lockout, but it seems more teams are in financial trouble now. Doesn't make sense. Something in the system is costing too much $'s. In a perfect world, the league would contract around 4 teams right off the hop.
Winner,Winner----Chicken Dinner!!!
Artificially overinflated player salarys,enabled through a co-operative and stakeholder motivated dynamic created and maintained by the NHL,the NHLOwners,and NHL players.
Players performances are valued vs dollars in a negotiating salary dynamic based on a system value generated from statistics achieved within a single teams system or method of play,however after that"in-house value"has been determined as per that team and systems salary cap distribution has been defined as per that system performance statisticlly ,said player may be traded to another team and salary cap delegation based on system production{achieved within the first teams system}----but the production might based on performance not warrant the salary commanded by the already existing contract---hence an artificially created and maintained player value that negatively affects the next team down the road--when they try to realisticlly distribute their salary cap as per system generated value by individual players--while juggleing overvalued artificially inflated contracts.
Just sayin.

Handmade in Thailand from cotton and brass, Bloom + Grace's Flamingo tassel drop earrings contribute to social good just as much as personal style. The brand partners with local artisans across the globe, employing people in developing nations. Further, through a partnership with the United Nations Foundation's Shot@Life campaign, each purchase made through Bloom + Grace translates to vaccinations for children in these countries—with a purchase of these earrings alone translating to six vaccinations.

Originating in Peru, this insect, known also as the red flasher or Prola beauty, stretches four centimeters in length. It's quite delicate and, of course, no two will be exactly the same. Importantly, all animals come from zoos or farms where they died of natural causes. (Price is in Euros.)

A strong advocate for the self-love club, Melbourne-based artist Frances Cannon teamed up with Third Drawer Down for this very sweet, pale pink tote.

Made in Australia by Ellery, these nine-carat gold-plated earrings are delightfully mismatched. Both earring designs are inspired by the shapes of petals, but the result is big and bold rather than delicate. The long earring is 4.25 inches long, and the shorter of the pair measures 1.5 inches.
The United States and Japan unite for this Five Four Club + POGGYTHEMAN collaboration T-shirt, with the two nations' flags on the front and the phrase "Hollywood to Little Tokyo" on the back. With side slits for extra movement and comfort, plus an extended back hem, this is a super-functional crewneck. Available in bright red or white, this is just one design from the extensive collaborative collection.
While it looks like a classic suitcase, the Stowaway from Paravel has one decidedly modern and functional feature: it's collapsable. Thanks to its clever interior architecture, this 17 by 13 by 6.5 inch suitcase stores flat (around 17.5 by 7 by 2.5 inches), so when it's not in use, it's not in your way. You can also pack it into larger bags when traveling, just in case your inner shopper gets carried away. Available in mustard, green, blue or red.
Handmade using buttery soft double-sided full-grain leather, this flogger by Killspencer is for the sassy Valentine in your life.

You can also add a monogram (hand-stamped on a leather patch) for an extra $25.
While cussing isn't always acceptable, sometimes you really need to add an expletive or two to make a point. These cute gift tags from Bing Bang make sure that the message is very direct—even a little aggressive. With "fuck, I love you" printed on each one (as well as space to write who the present is to and from) these cards come in a set of 10 and can be used at any time of the year.

That's right! Another thread in the music section!
I was reading some lyrics from Slayer's latest album, World Painted Blood(great album btw) and i was admiring their skills in lyric writing. And while i was doing that, it hit me...Is there a thread that talks about lyrics and such. So i checked and NO THERE WAS NOT!!!
So...i decided to make one And well, what we do is post lyrics what we find amazing to us, and therefore we post to share with others. You can rate other lyrics and give a comment on them and such. Hope this thread is flame free and no "oh this talks bad about god, AM OFFEND!!" Because if so, then your just an ignorant human. And well, go on and post and talk about it whether its the most brutal, the most beautiful, the catchiest, the funniest, the saddest, the strongest(lol) or the "best".
Last but not least, ENJOY!
So, after listening to World Painted Blood, i felt that fire inside to listen to all other Slayer albums, and so i did. I'm currently on Seasons In The Abyss, and well..it reminded me of how much i would listen to this album, especially the songs Dead Skin Mask, Skeletons of Society and Temptation. Here's one of those.
Temptation by Slayer
Have you ever felt the need
To see more than you can see
Look into uncertainty
Reflections of treachery
Would you leave the world bbehind
Endless life is here to find
Can I interest you in lies
Sell your soul for all it buys
Play with your insanity
Shatter your reality
Pulsing in your blood
I can satisfy your greed
For now all your debts are free
I have all eternity
To quench all the death I breed
Recreate the rules of play
From now things are done my way
None have ever won my game
Crucified them all in flames
Play with your insanity
Shatter your reality
Pulsing in your blood
Have you ever danced with the devil
His temptation ever summoned you
Ever penned your name in blood
Let possession slowly swallow you
When you stand under full moonlight
The attraction mesmerizes you
Have you ever wondered why
It seems that evil you're attracted to
Reach out to my hand
Step back in time's sand
Genetic wasteland
Far beyond death

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Wrestling is a tough sport. Although you will see an individual go from not so good to really good, you do not often see a whole team go from not so good to really good.
It seems that wrestling is a lot about tradition and in Utah's 3-A ranks that usually means Wasatch, Uintah and Delta. Wrestlers at these schools are usually in competitive matches before they hit kindergarten.
Delta came to town looking to fine tune their wrestlers for the region meet this Saturday. The region meet will be held at Delta.
Delta did just that as they defeated Emery in the match 67-0.
Emery then traveled to St George for a tournament at Pine View High School. Thirty-two schools participated coming from Utah, Arizona, California and Nevada. Utah schools included Dixie, Pine View, Snow Canyon, Mountain Crest, Pleasant Grove, North Sevier, Payson, and Emery. Wrestlers were individually bracketed in their weight group.
Jex Jensen and Tyler Swenson did particularly well as they lost out just before the medals round. Most other wrestlers did win a match sometime during the tournament as Emery is making strides on putting competitive wrestlers on the mat.
Emery's traveled last week to Price to wrestle the last time before the region meet. Emery lost a close match to the host Dinos 37-34.
Here are the results of the match. At 103, McKay Allred won by forfeit. At 112, Jaden Bagley pinned his opponent in the second round. At 119, Caleb Worthen was pinned in the first round. Emery forfeited at 125.
At 130, Steve Giles pinned his man in the first round after being taken down and then reversing his opponent. At 135, Jex Jensen got a major decision as he beat his man 12-2. At 140, Craig Guymon lost 14-2.
At 145, Tyler Swenson decisioned his man 9-2 after nearly pinning his opponent in both the first and third rounds. At 152, Cole Bunderson lost by decision. At 160, Kaeden Murdock was pinned in the first round.
At 171, Luke Stoddard decisioned his man 9-6. At 189, Tylor Christmas pinned his opponent in the second round. At 215, Ty Thomas was pinned in the second round. At 275, Cyal Christmas was pinned in the first round.

December 1-4
Brightly festooned trees, welcoming wreathes, magnificently decorated gingerbread houses and glittering d�cor will welcome and warm the hearts of many at this year's Festival of Trees.
For 34 years, this four-day, fund-raising event brings together the "Gift of Love" that heralds in the holiday spirit as families, community groups, businesses and volunteers decorate trees and other holiday objects for patients at Primary Children's Medical Center. Every penny raised has been used to directly benefit children in need at Primary Children's.
With more than 700 trees on display, 220,000 square feet of the South Towne Exposition Center magically fills with bright and shining holiday trees and decorations. This year, Necia Christensen's tree, "Hats Off to Primary" is decorated with autographed hats from local and national celebrities. Her creation recognizes children who bravely battle cancer and the ill effects of chemotherapy. "Our 10-year-old granddaughter is a cancer patient. Due to the side effects of chemotherapy, she lost her hair and hoped for the day when she could finally take her hat off," said Christensen.
An 80-member volunteer board works throughout the year preparing, recruiting committees and coordinating every detail of Festival happenings. Lori Peterson, Festival Chairwoman views the volunteers' deep dedication as the backbone to the success of the event, "For our volunteers, Christmas is a year-round endeavor that blesses the lives of children in need. Every hour given is an hour that comes straight from the heart." Assisting Mrs. Peterson are her three Co-chairwomen Edyth Hansen, Sandy; Shauna Kerr, Centerville and Karen Robinson, West Jordan.
Many Festival-goers make it a holiday stop to shop the ever-popular Gift Boutique known for its handmade items. The Sweet Shoppe is also another Festival favorite where many-a-sweet tooth will be satisfied by cakes, rich fudge, cookies and other mouth-watering treats.
In addition to the trees, sweets, and handcrafted items, Festival of Trees features something for children of all ages! Kids' Korner offers activities created for the younger ones, such as face painting, Dial-An-Elf, ice fishing and sand sculpting. The Small Fry Shop is brimming full with sweet treats and surprises wrapped in creative felt designs, especially priced for a child's budget. Visit Santa Land and sit with Jolly Old St. Nick for a memorable holiday photo. Live performances by high school choirs, professional dance troupes and entertainers provide holiday cheer throughout the event.
Over the past 34 years, Festival of Trees has raised funds to support charity care at Primary Children's Medical Center. Last year alone, nearly $10.3 million was expended to ensure that every child is cared for regardless of race, religion or ability to pay. This has meant a brighter future to thousands of children.
Begin your holiday tradition December 1-4, at the South Towne Exposition Center at the 2004 Festival of Trees. Cost at the door: $4.00/adults; $2.50/children age 11 and under. Discount tickets can be purchased at Zions First National Bank for $3.50/adults; $2.00/children. Family tickets can be purchased at the door only on Wednesday, December 1, for $13.00 (6 immediate family members). Senior Citizen tickets can be purchased at the door throughout Festival week for $2.50.

Growing Pains
Adjusting to Everest's new height
If the number 29,028 is seared into your mind along with 1066, 1492, and other seemingly immutable figures, get ready for a big change in the holy canon of statistics. That number, of course, was the elevation—in feet—of the world's highest mountain.As of Nov. 11, 1999, the new official height of Mt. Everest was announced as 29,035 feet.
Of Metrics and Mountains
The new height was determined by using satellite-based technology: the Trimble Global Positioning System (GPS). A team of seven climbers measured the mountain from the summit on May 5, 1999. The data was collected from various GPS satellite receivers—one of which had to be placed in bedrock—at the very top of Everest. It took the climbers a number of attempts over several years until they were able to successfully set up the equipment at the summit.
Peculiar American Figure
The number 29,028 was always a peculiarly American figure anyway, and will not be missed by the rest of the world, who use the metric system. The number 8,848 meters is the figure indelibly etched on the minds of the 5.7 billion non-Americans and non-British of the world (or at least those among them who, through coercion or passion, have a set of common statistics committed to memory).
Now, that number has now been replaced by one with a more mnemonic ring: 8,850 meters. Future generations of schoolchildren from China to the Czech Republic ought to have an easier time remembering the height of Everest now that two extra meters have rounded out the number.
Future Switch?
As for Americans, there may be even more statistical surprises awaiting us in our lifetimes. Someday we may be asked to change our mindsets yet again—just when 29,035 feet begins to sink in and feel natural we may be asked to switch to 8,850 meters.

I am not thrilled at the OPENness of the "Open Source" Arduino team.
"Open Source after we make all the decisions and run prototypes with a select few, and then we'll publish what we did
Instead of just releasing the finished platform we are opening the process to the community early on.
Ultimately, the "Open Source" argument is academic.
"Open Source" cultures do not mix well with regimented, secretive, proprietary, corporate cultures like ATMEL.
"regimented, secretive, proprietary, corporate cultures like ATMEL"and yet isn't everything about the chips we use published on their website for us engineers?
The benevolent dictator model works
For those of us who want a widely collaborative development effort, I don't think Arduino is gonna be it.
I suppose a company can not be PURELY open source software & hardware, otherwise making a profit would be very difficult,

Air Conditioning & Heating
How To Use An A/C Manifold Gauge Set
An air conditioning manifold gauge set is a must-have tool for anyone who is interested in performing some basic system work at home, such as checking pressure in a/c lines, determining if there's a leak, adding small amounts of refrigerant, or performing a complete evacuation and recharge. Compact, hand-held manifold gauge sets are used universally when servicing home air conditioning systems as well as automotive ones, and professional technicians use them same way you can in your back yard. Although shops typically have large, costly machines that do the evacuating and recharging work, similar results can be achieved with equipment that can be purchased inexpensively and stored easily.

Look no further if you're seeking an affordable and convenient solution to help diminish unwanted body hair! The Silk'n Flash & Go employs pulses of light to permanently reduce hair regrowth on body. This portable, handheld device brings professional-grade technology for use on-the-go or in the comfort of your own home.
Perfect for anyone with a busy lifestyle who wants to help diminish unwanted body hair. If you want a convenient, affordable solution, Silk'n Flash & Go is for you!
Please refer to the included instructional booklet and DVD for more information about using your Silk'n Flash & Go Hair Removal unit effectively. Click here to view the User's Manual.
Please view the above Disclaimers tab for how to use, care instructions and disclaimer information.
Silk'n Flash & Go Device:
Prior to use, the skin should be shaved, clean, dry and free of any powders, antiperspirants or deodorants. Effective treatment requires shaving of hair with a series of 6 to 8 treatments, with the first 3 treatments occurring every two weeks, and subsequent sessions occurring when hair growth re-appears.
Remove the device and other components from box. Verify that the disposable lamp cartridge is inserted properly at the tip of the device. Plug the adapter cord into the unit's socket. Plug the adapter into an electric outlet. The Standby indicator light will turn on. Your device is now ready to start.
Press the On/Standby switch. The Power On indicator light will turn on. Approximately 3.5 seconds after pressing the On/Standby switch, the Ready indicator light will turn on. The device sets itself to deliver the lowest energy level pulses. The device is then ready for you to trigger the first pulse. If the energy level should be higher than the lowest, press the Energy Level setting buttons using the "-" or "+" to respectively decrease or increase the energy level, until the desired energy level is set. Energy Level indicator lights will coincide with the energy level setting.
Apply the treatment surface firmly to the skin, making sure the skin is spread evenly and smoothly. As soon as the treatment surface is in full contact with the skin, the ready indicator light will start blinking. Press the Pulse button. The device will first determine the color of your skin. If the color of the skin is light enough for safe application, the device will flash a pulse of light onto your skin, and the ready indicator light will turn off. The device will immediately recharge for the next pulse. After 3.5 seconds, the Ready indicator light will turn on again. If you see no light pulse and the skin tone warning indicator light blinks your skin tone, measured by the skin color sensor is too dark for safe application. Remove the treatment surface from the treated area, and move the treatment surface to another area of skin. Use the pressure marks the device just made on your skin to guide you for proper positioning of the next pulse, avoiding both gaps and overlaps between pulses.
Warning: Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal session. Doing so increases the likelihood of adverse effects.
1. Do not expose treated areas of skin to the sun without sunscreen (50+) for at least 2 weeks following the last Silk'n session.
2. Not for use on naturally dark skin complexion.
3. Do not use on tanned skin or after recent sun exposure.
4. Will not work on light, naturally white, grey, blonde or red body hair.
5. Do not use if you are pregnant, nursing, or have been exposed to tanning machines in last 28 days. Do not use on areas of the skin with a tattoo, permanent makeup, or naturally occurring spots or bumps. Avoid use on skin with infections, rashes or sensitivity to light. Avoid use if skin has been treated with medication in the past six months. Do not use if you suffer from epilepsy, have an active medical implant, or a history of skin cancer.
Limited one year vendor warranty.
Lamp cartridge will last for approximately 1,000 pulses. To replace a disposable lamp cartridge, press the On/Standby switch to turn the device to Standby mode. Unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Grasp the used disposable lamp cartridge on both sides, pull it out of the socket and discard with trash. Unwrap a new disposable lamp cartridge. Push the new disposable lamp cartridge gently into place.
After replacing the disposable lamp cartridge with a new one, always set the energy to be one level lower than your normal setting. Raise the energy level back only if you do not experience abnormal discomfort during or after the treatment.

Synchronizing U.S. Government Efforts toward Collaborative Health Care Policymaking in Iraq
March 26, 2010
Authored by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas S. Bundt.
A primary catalyst in achieving our strategic ends in Iraq is through the formulation of a consolidated and cooperative strategic health care policy to enable the successful operation of the Iraqi health care system. An often-cited criticism of U.S. policy, however, is that after the end of major hostilities and transition into stabilization operations, we fall short in post-conflict planning and execution. This analysis highlights some of these operational deficiencies, and it provides recommendations for achieving a more coordinated, functional, and thereby synchronous strategic health care policy. These proposals will enable the U.S. Government (USG) to address health policy operations in stabilization and transitional phase contexts currently and in the future.

A year ago, Peter Walton was a well-respected referee in the English Premier League, but after a decade officiating at the top level in Europe, last March he hung up his whistle to step into the unknown and take up a new challenge in North America. In Walton's first day on the job as general manager of the newly formed Professional Referees Organization (PRO), he had a blank slate to work from. In under a year, he has taken some major steps towards building an organization that supports and develops referees in the United States and Canada. The end goal is simple. He hopes his organization can help raise the standard of officiating in North America and ensure that, in a few years, Major League Soccer's referees are grouped amongst the best in the world. It's a lofty target, but one which Walton believes is attainable. This week at Major League Soccer's Broadcast meetings in Arizona, I had the chance to talk in depth with Walton about the progress he has made and the changes that are being introduced for the 2013 MLS season. "Managing expectations has been a big thing," Walton said. "With any new venture, people expect results straight away. I can get quick wins by looking at fitness levels or recognizing challenges, but it's all about culture. I have to keep owners, fans and media in check about how quickly change can happen." One of the biggest impacts made by Walton is a big increase in the number of professional (full-time) referees working in MLS. This year, that number will be nine, an increase from just two last season. Those referees will also get together for training camps on 20 occasions throughout the season. That's a massive increase compared to 2012 when they only met together twice all season. "I inherited a squad of 37 referees of which two were professional. I met with my officials just twice last season. So I needed to look at that quickly," Walton explained. "We will now have 21 referees looking after our games with nine full-time and the others part-time. We have now given them an ability to attend training programs, but also an opportunity to live, breathe and sleep the product.
"We have got twenty training programs in place through the course of the season. Those programs are three-day events where we get together and look at their nutrition, fitness, themes of games and matches coming up in terms of their education. They will speak together, share best practice, become a team, and that can only help." It seems an obvious step. More professionals, more training sessions and chances to share best practice will lead to better referees. That will play a major part in increasing the standard of officiating in North America and in turn, helping MLS achieve its goal of being one of the world's top leagues be 2022.
It's also about changing the perception of U.S. and Canadian referees around the world as well as at home.
"The game in North America is evolving very quickly, but our referees still have to referee what is in front of them. With the quality of play a little bit higher around the world, my experience is that it makes it easier to referee games when the standard of play is higher. That's because you know where the ball is going, you know what is in the minds of the players and there is a pattern to the game. In MLS, sometimes our referees have to administer cards and discipline just because of the enthusiasm of the player concerned," said Walton.
It's hard not to be impressed by Walton's achievements so far in his first year in North America. Listening to his plans for the future, he seems like the ideal person for this job. He has the experience, but he also is brimming with enthusiasm for the task that lies ahead. Fans will forever moan about the standard of officiating in games involving their teams. That's just a natural part of sport. But it's great to see that soccer in North America will be able to benefit for years to come thanks to the creation of the Professional Referees Organization.

That's the whole point of the filter
QuoteThat's the whole point of the filter Well no. The whole point of the filter is dealing with noise. The problem of distinguishing true acceleration from the effect of gravity on the sensor remains. I've yet to see a convincing implementation of the Kalman filter approach which considers more than one dimension.
@LauszusThanks for your guide.I'm working with an MPU6050 for my balancing robot project. But the model required yaw measurement. I wonder if the MPU6050 is capable of measure the yaw accurate enough or it needs additional magnetometer. Please help

Technology: a proven way of teaching
Falls plans to continue technology integration to enhance learning
Menomonee Falls - The Menomonee Falls School District is not integrating technology in the classroom because that's the wave of the future. Rather, it is moving toward a digitally focused classroom because administrators saw first hand how it can drastically improve learning.
A group at the Menomonee Falls School District was able to see for themselves the benefits of technology when they traveled to Mooresville, N.C., in the beginning of October for an invitation-only summit for 150 school district members from across the nation. The summit was for select districts that were chosen because of their focus on student learning improvement and the need to integrate technology with instruction.
The Mooresville Graded School District has set the stage for integrating digital tools for students and staff to bridge learning gaps and enhance education. Six years ago, Mooresville launched a new strategic plan, which set goals of utilizing 21st-century resources in all classrooms.
In that time, Mooresville has managed to leap from being a midrange testing school district, to being the second highest performing district in the state.
Six staff members, including Director of Technology Jeff Nennig, Director of Curriculum and Learning Gary Kiltz and Superintendent Patricia Greco, traveled to Mooresville to see for themselves how students and teachers function in a digitally focused classroom. Greco was asked to serve on the Digital Promise Team, a national team focusing on creating models across the U.S. and integrating technology fully into the learning environment, which led the district to take part in the summit.
They shared their findings with the School Board on Monday.
Out of their visit they learned combining instruction with technology works. It not only improves student testing, but keeps students increasingly engaged in the classroom.
"Students were actively engaged in every classroom I went to," Nennig said. "There was a lot of energy in the classrooms, a lot of discussion, a lot of collaboration to solve problems and when you talk to the teachers, they say they had a learning target and they aligned their resources to those targets."
That is exactly what Falls has and is continuing to do. Using some of what they learned in Mooresville, Nennig said administration will continue its work on utilizing technology resources to develop curriculum in order to align with the Common Core. The Common Core is mandated curriculum districts have to align with by 2014.
Falls mirrors Mooresville
Falls is implementing similar digital tools throughout the district, following the Mooresville model. This includes the ninth-grade laptop pilot program and replacing desktop units with laptops for teachers. The two districts are similar in size; however, Mooresville has a higher poverty rate.
"The purpose tonight is to parallel what we're doing with Mooresville. We look at them and many other school districts in how they're operating with technology and finding the best pieces of what's working and not working," Nennig said. "Mooresville is one of the most advanced 1:1 school districts and the results are remarkable."
The six-year Mooresville plan included providing laptops to all teachers, as well as students from fourth to 12th grade, early release days, weekly leadership and implementation meetings and an infrastructure upgrade. Falls completed an infrastructure upgrade at the end of summer. This included adding wireless Internet in all buildings districtwide.
"They will tell you it's not the computer, it's the conversations around aligning the curriculum," that makes the model work, Nennig said.
Because of the need to align curriculum, the board is discussing implementation of an early release day on Wednesdays at all grade levels to allow for teachers to meet regularly and improve student learning by looking at student-specific data.
The plan is not perfect. A video shown on Monday portrayed a handful of teachers and students praising the laptop program. School Board member Faith Vanderhorst said she has talked to a concerned ninth-grade parent, adding they need to do a better job at educating parents on the laptop program.
There will be a survey sent out to parents of freshmen; however, Greco said parents should not wait to share their concerns.
She said parents who are having issues with the laptops should contact the High School Principal Corey Golla immediately so the district is made aware of problems and can work to mitigate them without any lag time.
In the meantime, the district will keep looking at what other school districts are doing to close learning gaps. Greco said many districts are piloting a laptop program in one grade but don't have a long-term plan as students move up grade levels.
She said this is why they piloted the program in ninth grade, so it can filter upward to 10th through 12th grades.
The district will also continue to utilize Mooresville as a valuable resource as it moves to the new age of digital learning.

As we're sure that you know, we love to dig into every detail of cycling apparel, especially the fabrics. However, when something is as fresh, new, and innovative as the Castelli Inferno Bib Shorts, we understand that trade secrets will not be divulged. Instead, we're forced to put the nameless under the microscope and investigate how the fabrics work as a system. So, like a great musician, we've come to appreciate, and even rely on, the Inferno as a body of work, not a collection of hit singles.
The reasons for this are stacking. Of the seven fabrics used throughout the Inferno, five them are only found on this one piece. That's right, Castelli developed and engineered five distinct materials for the shorts portion alone. So, the question begs to be asked, for what purpose? Well, as the name implies, the Inferno was created as a counter-offensive to treacherous heat. And along these lines, you'll immediately notice what appear to be mesh panels along the sides of the legs. Note that we said 'appears' in this instance. This is worth noting, as this is no ordinary mesh. Instead, Castelli developed this material as a perforated panel of 94% polyester. As a result, breathability is increased throughout the shorts, and due to its composition, moisture absorption is reduced to nearly nano levels. Additionally, in comparison to mesh, this fabric shields the skin from exposure, meaning that you don't appear half naked on the bike.
However, if your mind thinks like ours, support to the muscles becomes an immediate concern when viewing such a lightweight, breathable panel. Well, there's no need to fret, as Castelli designed this material with a fiber weight that lends itself to both flexibility and support. In fact, this trend is carried out throughout the rest of the shorts, as well. Truly, this is where the Inferno separates itself from anything else on the market.
Typically, bib shorts are either supportive or breathable -- you get one or the other. However, 'one-or-the-other' simply wouldn't cut it for Team Garmin Barracuda in the sweltering heat of the 2012 Giro and Tour. Accordingly, a balance was struck between these characteristics, and the front and rear panels feature a proprietary 190 gram polyester/Lycra blend. If you're seeking relevance for this designation, it ranks similarly, in the supportive sense, to the material used in the Aero Race bib shorts. However, there isn't simply one panel for both the front and rear. Instead, you'll find that Castelli place another exclusive fabric directly over the quadriceps and hamstrings. These panels feature a rib knit construction that adds both a compressive nature and an increased permeability. So, breathability continues as the name of the game throughout ever centimeter of the shorts.
As for fit, the Inferno is a racing thoroughbred. It's slim, precise, and deliberate. And given that it was developed directly with the Garmin squad, this should come as no surprise. Along these lines, the cut of the bib shorts follows a contour in order to mimic and support the movements of cycling. So, there's no risk of bunching, pinching, or abrasion when you're either stretched over the hoods or buried down in the drops. Supporting the fit are Castelli's lightweight polyester/Lycra bib straps. And when we say lightweight, we mean it. In fact, the entire upper design is so lightweight that it's nearly transparent. At the legs, you'll find Castelli's venerable Giro3 single-layer leg grippers that're found on the Aero Race bib shorts.
For the chamois, Castelli incorporated its most innovative insert, the Progetto X2 Air. The Progetto's surface uses a skin-care layer comprised of a seamless bacteriostatic fabric that conforms to the body without folding. Accordingly, this material supports airflow, while also aiding in rapid evaporation. For the second layer, the X2 features a variable density foam with variable thickness. Essentially, this places support where you need it, not where you don't. The comfort level is also aided by Castelli's Viscous comfort inserts, which are perforated padding at the highly-sensitive ischial and perineum pressure regions.
The Castelli Inferno Bib Shorts are available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and in the colors Black, Black/white, and White/grey. Please note that due to the lightweight composition of the Inferno, Castelli recommends applying sunscreen when you ride in these shorts. This design trend has been carried out throughout the rest of the shorts, as well.

Locals remember country music legend George Jones
BRISTOL, Tenn. and Va. - Country music legend George Jones has died in Nashville after a short illness.
He was nicknamed The Possum and No Show, because during his heavy drinking days he failed to appear at concerts. News 5 caught up with some locals and learned that wasn't always the case in Bristol.
Newspaper clippings on the wall are memories of every visit country superstar George Jones made here at Viking Hall. Jones is known for classic country hits like 'He Stopped Loving Her Today.' "When I heard that he had passed, in my head I really thought 'he stopped loving her today,'" said Darlene Cole, venues manager at Viking Hall.
Jones was a very familiar face here in the Birthplace of Country Music. "His first year here was in 1982. His tickets were $8.50 and $9.50," added Cole.
Better known as 'No Show Jones,' Bristol seemed to be the exception to the rule. "The 20-odd number of events that he played, he was never a No Show Possum to us," said Cole.
His music still hits the airwaves; over at WXBQ phone lines are busy with fans sharing memories and requesting their favorite songs. "It's hard to believe he's gone but we're expecting a good tribute tonight," said DJ Marcus Brooks.
Even though Jones has gone away, no one will forget or stop loving the poetic musician. "The last time he played Viking Hall I got to have a little chit-chat with him and his wife. It was a quick interaction but at least I can say in my career that I did get to meet the legend, the Possum," added DJ Marc Tragler.
George Jones was 81 years old.

Three straight losses dropped the Emery baseball team from second place in region to fourth. The Spartans traveled to Price to play the region leaders. Carbon won the ball game 11-0. Emery traveled to Delta and lost 6-5.
Against the Dinos, the Spartans went down in five innings as they had trouble hitting the Dino pitcher and they had trouble in the field with errors.
Only Chandler Pearson was able to hit Martinez for the Spartans. Pearson had the only two hits of the game. Martinez struck out eight batters, gave up teo hits and a single walk.
Against the Rabbits, the Spartans scored one in the first, one in the third and one in the fourth inning for a 3-0 lead. The Rabbits came back with five in the fifth and one in the sixth for a 6-3 lead. Emery added to in the top of the seventh to finish one run down.
In the first inning, Wes Baletka walked and singles by Bowie Jeffs and Brady Larsen scored Baletka. In the third inning, singles by Pearson and Jeffs, a stolen base and a pickoff play allowed Pearson to score. In the fourth inning, Trevor Thompson got on base and scored on a Josh Eden single. Emery's last two runs came in the seventh as Baletka and Pearson both walked and advanced around the bases by steals, errors and a wild pitch to both score.
Delta scored five in the fifth inning on three singles, a double and a homerun as they only had two other hits in the game.
The Spartans then righted their ship with a 12-0 victory over the North Sanpete Hawks last Thursday. Chandler Pearson pitched a 2-hitter and the complete game to nail the victory. Pearson also tripled and homered to assist the Emery cause. Chandler Tanner and Trevor Thompson doubled in the game, Jeffs also had a triple and Baletka also homered for the Spartans.
Emery finished third in the region and will travel to Cedar City High School this Saturday to play Grantsville, a second place region finisher. Cedar City and Park City are also at this site.

Hey folks, I just wanted to throw this up because I havent seem a thread for it yet. Needless to say, as an advat Supernatural fan, I will be tuning into the anime as well.
Supernatural is an American supernatural and horror television series created by Eric Kripke, which debuted on September 13, 2005 on The WB, and is now part of The CW's lineup. Starring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, the series follows the brothers as they hunt demons and other figures of the supernatural.
Supernatural: The AnimationOn June 9, 2010, the official Japanese Warner Bros. website announced an anime version of the series entitled Supernatural: The Animation. Set to debut in Japan in January 2011,[158] the series will be produced by famed Japanese anime studio Madhouse.[159] Shigeyuki Miya and Atsuko Ishizuka will be co-directing, with Kripke credited as the project creator.[160] Madhouse co-founder Masao Maruyama will serve as executive producer, with Naoya Takayama supervising the scripts and Takahiro Yoshimatsu designing the characters. Yūya Uchida and Hiroki Touchi, who voice Sam and Dean for the Japanese dub of the live-action series, will reprise their roles.[159]
The anime's first season will consist of 22 episodes; while the storyline will cover the first two seasons of the live-action series, it will also include original content exploring the Winchesters' childhoods and expanding upon secondary characters.[159] Warner Home Video will release the first two episodes on Blu-ray and DVD in Japan on January 12, 2011; episodes 3 through 12 will ship on February 2, and the rest on April 6.[159] Warner Home Video will release the Blu-ray and DVD box sets of the anime series on July 26, 2011 in North America.[161]
Jared Padalecki has officially signed on to dub the English language for Sam, while Jensen Ackles has only signed to do the last two episodes of the series for Dean due to scheduling reasons.

Information on standard material:The standard might be recombinant protein or natural protein, that will depend on the specific kit. Moreover, the expression system is E.coli or yeast or mammal cell. There is 0.05% proclin 300 in the standard as preservative.Information on reagents:The stop solution used in the kit is sulfuric acid with concentration of 1 mol/L. And the wash solution is TBS. The standard diluent contains 0.02 % sodium azide, assay diluent A and assay diluent B contain 0.01% sodium azide. Some kits can contain is BSA in them.Information on antibodies:The provided antibodies and their host vary in different kits.
Average the duplicate readings for each standard, control, and samples and subtract the average zero standard optical density. Construct a standard curve by plotting the mean O.D. and concentration for each standard and draw a best fit curve through the points on the graph or create a standard curve on log-log graph paper with NT-ProBNP concentration on the y-axis and absorbance on the x-axis. Using some plot software, for instance, curve expert 1.30, is also recommended. If samples have been diluted, the concentration read from the standard curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor.In order to make the calculation easier, we plot the O.D. value of the standard (X-axis) against the known concentration of the standard (Y-axis), although concentration is the independent variable and O.D. value is the dependent variable. However, the O.D. values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, washing technique or temperature effects), plotting log of the data to establish standard curve for each test is recommended. Typical standard curve below is provided for reference only.
