So much for cooling down the rhetoric. At a time when liberals are blaming the "vitriol" of the conservative movement for violence in America, Media Matters (a liberal group which targets conservative media) is planning what it calls a campaign of "guerrilla warfare and sabotage" against Fox News. It just goes to show that if liberals can't win on message, they will seek to destroy the messenger.
In a story running on Politico.com, Media Matters founder David Brock described the old strategy against Fox News as one of "containment." The new strategy is simple: "War on Fox."
Advertisement – story continues below
In an interview and a 2010 planning memo shared with POLITICO, Brock listed the fronts on which Media Matters — which he said is operating on a $10 million-plus annual budget — is working to chip away at Fox and its parent company, News Corp. They include its bread-and-butter distribution of embarrassing clips and attempts to rebut Fox points, as well as a series of under-the-radar tactics.
Media Matters, Brock said, is assembling opposition research files not only on Fox's top executives but on a series of midlevel officials. It has hired an activist who has led a successful campaign to press advertisers to avoid Glenn Beck's show. The group is assembling a legal team to help people who have clashed with Fox to file lawsuits for defamation, invasion of privacy or other causes.
TRENDING: LiAngelo Ball Tells Truth About The Day He Said 'Thank You' To President
Amazing, isn't it? Rather than focusing on doing a better job of getting out the liberal message and promoting left wing policies, this group seeks to bring down the most popular cable news outlet in America. Instead of putting out a better product, they seek to destroy the other product using "under-the-radar tactics" and attacks on those who work at Fox. This is nothing short of pathetic.

Reading servo PWM with an Arduino
I'm working on a robot for the Sparkfun autonomous vehicle contest and I need to read inputs from my RC receiver so that I can have remote control of the robot in addition to computer control. The folks over at DIYdrones had an old thread going about using the pulseIn function, but that's plain ugly. The interrupt example in the thread uses a delay inside the interrupt routine and that's a bad idea too.
The example below measures the pulse width of each pulse in the PWM train and passes the value along to another servo. I'm using a Mega because I need multiple UARTs and it can handle more interrupts, but this code should run on a Duemilanove with the change shown in the code.
Yes, the code will glitch every 71 minutes, but that's OK. My batteries will be dead by then.
Here's the code:

void handleInterrupt()
count1=micros(); // we got a positive edge
servo1=micros()-count1; // Negative edge: get pulsewidth
void setup()
attachInterrupt(0,handleInterrupt,CHANGE); // Catch up and down
void loop()
Serial.println(servo1,DEC); // Pulsewidth in microseconds
myServo.writeMicroseconds(servo1); // Mirror servo on another pin

I am trying this code with a pro mini (328) I have commented out the servo move code and am just looking at the values returned from the println. I can see 1520 in there (centered sticks) but the values alternate between it and values around 19000 and 20000. If I move the stick I can see the range from 900 to 2100 but still all the erroneous 19000 to 20000 range values. Any ideas what is causing this?
I'm getting an undefined symbol error on PINE, with Aduino build 23. Any idea where this definition might have gone to?
Which pin are you attaching this to. From the receiver, do you attach just the signal wire, or do you need to attach a ground as well?
PINE is only defined if you select a mega as your target board. The Duemillanove and Uno dont' have a E port.
Here's the port mapping for Arduinos:
The servo signal goes the the pin you've chosen and you must have a common ground between the arduino and Rx. Good luck.
Thanks for a great post, Scott. For the Uno and Nano, the following change had to be made for the int0 definition:
#define int0 (PIND & 0b00000100) //For Nano & Uno. Changed to pin D2, from D1.
Your untested code was off by one bit location, actually calling out pin D1, rather than D2.
After that small change, my servo was up and running.
This code is very risky, there is no protection of the shared variable servo1 which can be updated by the ISR as loop is reading it. For an explanation and alternative approach with protection see – http://rcarduino.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-read-multiple-rc-channels-draft.html

Yup. There's a slim chance that the value will change while you're reading it, but that didn't matter for my application. Also, the use of micros() inside of an interrupt routine is bad practice too.
I've written a much nicer PWM decoder that fixes all of this.
I like your blog! I've also got an original Sand Scorcher from when I was a kid.
Why will the code glitch ever 71 minutes? Is there a way to fix the glitch?
The counter used for the micros() command is 32 bits. 2^32/10^6/60 is about 71 minutes.
Just checking, did you connect the input wire of the servo to the arduino?
You might consider attaching the servo input to pin 8, which has the "input capture" capability with 16-bit timer1. Basically, if you put timer1 in free running mode, and set up input capture edge detection, the hardware will capture the 16 value of the counter register, at the time of the input edge, and additionally trigger an interrupt. That means that you do not need to worry about delay between the edge and the interrupt routine running. The timer can be set up to detect either rising or falling edges, you want both, so you want to flip the setting bit each time in the interrupt handler, to be able to capture the next transition.
You can even capture multiple channels from an RC receiver, provided that the RC receiver (like most) uses a shift register to generate pulses for successive channels. (That is the pulse on channel 2 starts at the exact time the pulse on channel 1 ends, and so on.) By OR'ing togerther channel 1, 3 and 5, you will see a train of three pulses (channel 1, 3 and 5), and the width of the two troughs in between them will be channel 2 and 4.

RBC Business Cash Back MasterCard ReviewFebruary 5th, 2017 Posted in Credit Cards|Rewards Cards|Debts
No Fee 1% Cash Back Card
If you are a small business owner and looking for a no-frills credit card, look no further than the RBC Business Cash Back MasterCard. This card may not provide a lot of benefits, but it's still good for those who aren't looking for anything from a plain vanilla business credit card.
Sometimes you just want to have a business credit card to keep an active credit card under your business name. And that's exactly why I have this credit card, although I don't really use it. For a No Annual Fee credit card, the RBC Business Cash Back MasterCard offers the following features:
– Promotional 2 percent cash back for the first three months
– 1 percent cash back across the board thereafter
– Get cash back whenever you accumulate $25 or once a year in January
– Purchase security guarantee for 90 days
– Extended warranty for one additional year
As you can see, it's not really a feature-rich credit card, but for no fee getting 1 percent back on everything is not bad either.
Business owners may need to separate their business transactions on credit cards, hence the need for a separate credit card solely for business. I charge my all business transactions on my regular personal credit cards that offer rich rewards and still keep a couple of no-fee business credit card accounts active for my business credit file.
If you are looking for better rewards on your business transactions, there are other annual fee credit cards you can go for. But for those who are not willing to pay annual fee, the RBC Business Cash Back MasterCard does the job and still provides 1 percent return.

|Adding More Quercetin to Your Diet
The antioxidant quercetin is partially responsible for that lovely red glow in your apple skin. It is also present in many other fruits, nuts, vegetables and grains.24 Many of the foods high in quercetin are full of lots of other important nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, and E, calcium, magnesium, and lycopene.7
You may want to consider organically grown versions of fruits and vegetables when looking to maximize your quercetin intake. A recent study found that tomatoes which had been organically grown had more quercetin than their conventionally grown counterparts, although green peppers had no difference in quercetin levels.25 Often different parts of the fruit or vegetable contain higher amounts of quercetin, such as apple skin and the outermost layers in onions.26-27

I know , i know i'll probably get the same "well girls are the same blah blah ". A lover of mine was married to a women for 23 years and still he called her a bitch. I can stand my kitten ground but im not over the top, In fact most people call me super nice. So, what makes a women who is called "a bitch" more attractive than someone who is firm and gentle at the same time?
Most Helpful Guy
There is absolutely nothing about a true bitch that's attractive. They can be the hottest physically ever but being a bitch makes her fucking ugly. Just as a girl that might be a 6 who is a sweetheart is way more beautiful. It kinda seems like it really does add or take away physical beauty whether she is a bitch or not. I'd pick the 6 over a 10 any day. Even if the bitch was crazy about me.11|00|0
Like a hot girl that was once really hot to me becomes almost repulsive.

NYC for CEDAW Testifies at City Council
On April 24th 2017, members of the NYC4CEDAW Coalition testified at the New York City Council's Committee on Women's Issues. At issue were four bills pertaining to Women's Rights.
•Int 1500-2017 • Int 1512-2017 • Int 1520-2017 • Res 0542-2015
The general feeling amongst coalition members is a reserved agreement. While there is a strong feeling for the need to gather data about women in New York City and to empower a commission to assess the City Government's performance in this area; there were reservations about:
Confusing issues of race with issues of gender;
- Creating a new commission rather than the already established Commission on Gender Equality; and
- Not grounding these rights in a strong framework, such as CEDAW.
Video of the testimony can be found here.
Coalition member's submissions can be found here.
NYC4CEDAW is organizing a Day of Action to show Members of the City Council strong support for a New York City for CEDAW Act. We are looking for a large turnout for a march across the Brooklyn Bridge and speeches on the steps of City Hall. Date is TBD and will be released shortly!

I work on first and second language acquisition with a focus on prosody, gesture, and pragmatics. I recently finished a two-year postdoc at the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (Labex Brain and Language Research Institute) at the University Aix-Marseille in France.
In September 2014 I defended my PhD thesis in the Group of Prosodic Studies at the Department of Translation and Language Sciences at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). Under the supervision of Pilar Prieto (ICREA-UPF), my dissertation looked at how prosodic cues and pointing gestures are integrated in the infants' ability to communicate intentionaly (link to my thesis).

Former Giants running back Tiki Barber welcomed current Giants running back Rashad Jennings to CBS Sports Radio on Wednesday to discuss New York's upcoming football season.
The Giants finished 6-10 last year but were hit harder by the injury bug than perhaps any team in football. With the regular season rapidly approaching, the Giants can't wait to show that 2014 was an anomaly.
"It's excitement, there's no question about it," Jennings said on Tiki and Tierney. "First of all, it's football and everybody out here loves the game, loves the sport. We've been doing this since we were little kids. A lot of times you get a chance to escape from reality for a little bit and go out and play a game that you love. But to be doing it in New York with the greatest fans is great. And also, year two in the same system, we want to go prove what we can do on this offensive side of the ball."
Indeed, offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo brought his explosive system to New York last season, but there were a few bumps in the road. Injuries were partly to blame for that, but so was the simply act of learning and executing a new playbook.
Jennings, however, believes the Giants' offense will be clicking on all cylinders this season. He is sure – not confident, but sure – that the offensive line will open up holes in the running game and give Eli Manning time to find Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and others.
While Jennings will start for the Giants, Andre Williams and Shane Vereen figure to see plenty of reps. Williams, 22, rushed 217 times for 721 yards and seven touchdowns last season, while Vereen, who was acquired from New England, accounted for 838 total yards and five touchdowns (two rush, three receiving).
"I think Andre Williams has just been showing tremendous growth from the offseason," Jennings said. "He was a guy that came down from Miami and trained with me some, and it's just so fun to watch him grow up and learn the art of playing running back in the NFL. And then you have Shane Vereen. (He's) known for being able to catch the ball out of the backfield, but I also think he can run the ball probably better than people want to give him credit for. So there's going to be an opportunity for him to showcase that as well."
Indeed, from running back to wide receiver to tight end, it appears Manning has countless weapons at his disposal. In fact, Jennings believes the Giants can be one of the best offenses in the NFL.
"Of course," he said. "With everybody being able to come back healthy, year two in the same system, (we should be good). Last year, we installed a system, and this year we kind of get to run our offense. So having more ownership over it, more (control) in the huddle by Eli and changing the line of scrimmage to put us in the best position – we all know (what to do) when we're lining up. There's not that confusion. Eliminate the false penalties and the self-inflicted wounds. We're going to be a tough team to beat, especially when we have weapons that can take it to the house when the ball's in the air."

Recently, both the Wall Street Journal and New York Times disappointingly pushed the myth that the Web is in decline, and that Native Apps are taking over.
Saying that native apps are killing the web is incorrect. It just doesn't work that way. It's a misunderstanding of what the web is and how content works across platforms.
Native apps are not competing against the web. One can't kill the other, the way CDs killed cassette tapes.
Apps use the web
Driving the misconception is the latest statistic from Flurry: that only 14% of the time spent on a mobile device is in a web browser, and the other 86% is in apps.
Flurry sells ads in apps. It's in their interest to get users to believe that native apps are the new sliced bread, and in a way they are, but not because the web is in decline. It's the opposite.
Native apps and the web are integrated in many ways. Widely-used apps like Facebook have a web browser built into them. When you click on your friend's article in your feed, it takes you to the website within the app.
The app is also pulling in web content and customizing its presentation for the user. A web browser like Chrome or Safari is designed to interpret all web content. A native mobile app doesn't need all of the web's infinite content, just a sliver, and so an app is able to deliver the content cleaner and faster.
Many popular apps (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, iTunes) rely on their web servers for content. If you use those apps, you're browsing the web. The app is just the skin.
What is the web, then?
The simplest way to explain the relationship is with this handy chart1:
Native apps aren't in opposition to the web, they are a layer on top of it. The web is where the content comes from. Many native apps contain web elements (like HTML).
When digital content is transferred through HTTP, that's the web. It's the way that content is sent between a web server and someone's smartphone. It differs from other internet protocols such as Email or SMS (text messages).
If we only think of the web as a window with a URL bar at the top, then we're not considering how all that content is connected. We're ignoring what makes it a web.
Blurred lines
Since Wired declared that the web was dead four years ago, countless platforms and apps have been built on top of it.
Take Cards, the content microformat by Twitter. It is purely web content, but will likely be used in mobile apps (like Wildcard) because of the brevity.
The "chrome" of the browser (the URL bar and forward/back buttons) is receding from modern devices. Soon it won't even matter what is and isn't considered "the web." The Native App and Web circles in the above diagram will completely eclipse.
At the end of the day, it's about humans creating and sharing content, so don't make the mistake of thinking Native Apps and the Web are somehow opposed to one another. Whether it's your tap or your hose, the water in your house comes from the same place.

The present invention relates generally to integrated circuits, and in particular, to methods of enabling the use of a defective programmable logic device.
A programmable logic device (PLD) is an integrated circuit device designed to be user-programmable so that users may implement logic designs of their choices. One type of PLD is the Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD). A CPLD includes two or more "function blocks" connected together and to input/output (I/O) resources by an interconnect switch matrix. Each function block of the CPLD includes a two-level AND/OR structure similar to that used in a Programmable Logic Array (PLA) or a Programmable Array Logic (PAL) device. Another type of PLD is a field programmable gate array (FPGA). In a typical FPGA, an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) is coupled to programmable input/output blocks (IOBs). The CLBs and IOBs are interconnected by a hierarchy of programmable routing resources. These CLBs, IOBs, and programmable routing resources are customized by loading a configuration bitstream, typically from off-chip memory, into configuration memory cells of the FPGA. For both of these types of programmable logic devices, the functionality of the device is controlled by configuration data bits of a configuration bitstream provided to the device for that purpose. The configuration data bits may be stored in volatile memory (e.g., static memory cells, as in FPGAs and some CPLDs), in non-volatile memory (e.g., flash memory, as in some CPLDs), or in any other type of memory cell. PLDs can also be implemented in other ways, e.g., using fuse or antifuse technology. The terms "PLD" and "programmable logic device" include but are not limited to these exemplary devices, as well as encompassing devices that are only partially programmable. For example, one type of PLD includes a combination of hard-coded transistor logic and a programmable switch fabric that programmably interconnects the hard-coded transistor logic.
In manufacturing and employing integrated circuits such as PLDs, it is important that they operate properly in a system. When a completed integrated circuit malfunctions after it has been installed in a system, such as a consumer electronics product, the malfunction of the integrated circuit may cause the entire product to fail. As PLDs are manufactured according to smaller dimensions, defects in some of the circuits are becoming more common. Further, the increased complexity of PLDs, such as an increased number of layers, has also increased the possibility for electrical faults. Finally, the die size of programmable logic device has also continued to increase, and therefore increased the likelihood of defects.
Integrated circuits such as PLDs are typically tested after fabrication. In order to avoid causing problems for end users, a PLD is generally discarded if it contains defects that affect the active logic. The percentage of usable integrated circuits is called the "yield" because it indicates the fraction of usable integrated circuits in a manufactured lot. The increase in PLD size and density has led to an increase in the percentage of defective die, and a corresponding decrease in product yield. A low yield has a significant economic impact on PLD providers. While die having gross defects which cause the failure of an entire PLD must be discarded, die having localized defects which cause the failure of small portions of the PLD circuitry may often be salvaged by using only the portion of the device not having defects. One known method for using partially defective PLDs is to sort out those PLDs that are defective only in an isolated function or area. The PLD provider may sell these partially defective devices to a customer at a reduced price rather than discarding them.
While such a use of defective PLDs may increase yield, there is also an associated cost of managing the defective PLDs. Because defects may be present in different locations for different devices, managing defective integrated circuits may be time consuming and expensive. Integrated circuits are commonly binned according to performance, such as operating speed, as well as for pass/fail. Defective integrated circuits may be binned according to the location of defects, for example. Accordingly, each of the bins of integrated circuits having different defects must be separately managed. Such a requirement may be costly for a producer of programmable logic devices, and increase the cost of selling the defective programmable logic devices.
Accordingly, there is a need for an improved method of enabling the use of defective programmable logic devices.
Methods of enabling the use of defective programmable logic devices are disclosed. The method comprises performing functional testing of each programmable logic device of a plurality of programmable logic devices; identifying each programmable logic device of the plurality of programmable logic devices which has a defective portion of programmable logic; identifying, for each programmable logic device which is identified to have a defective portion of programmable logic, a location of the defective portion; storing, for each programmable logic device which is identified to have a defective portion of programmable logic, the location of the defective portion; and selecting a configuration bitstream for one of the programmable logic devices, wherein the selected configuration bitstream is selected from a plurality of configuration bitstreams based upon the stored location of the defective portion for the one of the programmable logic devices. The location of the defective portion can be stored on the programmable logic device (e.g., in a non-volatile memory) or in an external memory storage device. The method may further comprise dividing the programmable logic of the plurality of programmable logic devices into regions, wherein identifying the location of the defective portion of programmable logic comprises designating a region having the defective programmable logic. Storing the location of the defective portion of programmable logic may comprise storing the location in a non-volatile memory. Accordingly, it may be possible to categorize programmable logic devices having defective programmable logic in different regions in a common category of defective products according to embodiments of the present invention.
According to an alternate embodiment, a method of enabling the use of defective programmable logic devices comprises receiving a plurality of programmable logic devices, each programmable logic device having an indication of the location of a defective portion of programmable logic; selecting, for each programmable logic device, a configuration bitstream of a plurality of configuration bitstreams implementing the same circuit design, wherein the selection of a configuration bitstream is based upon the location of the defective portion of programmable logic; and programming each programmable logic device with a corresponding selected configuration bitstream of the plurality of configuration bitstreams. The method may further comprise receiving an indication for each programmable logic device of the location of the defective portion of the programmable logic. Further, selecting the configuration bitstream may comprise selecting the configuration bitstream based upon the location of the defective portion of the programmable logic being within a predetermined region of the programmable logic.
A device having programmable logic according to an embodiment of the invention may comprise a plurality of programmable logic circuits, wherein at least a portion of the programmable logic circuits is defective; a non-volatile memory storing an indication of a location of the defective portion of the programmable logic circuits; and a plurality of configuration memory elements storing configuration bits of a selected configuration bitstream, wherein the selected configuration bitstream is selected based upon the indication stored in the non-volatile memory. The device may further comprise configuration logic or a configuration controller coupled to the non-volatile memory to provide the indication of the location of the portion of the programmable logic circuits which is defective by way of an input/output block.

As shown in
A wafer sorting machine 120 enables wafers to be processed in batches. Examples of wafer sorters are generally available from Credence Systems Corporation of Milipitas, Calif. or Teradyne, Inc. of Boston, Mass., and are well known in the art of semiconductor manufacturing. After wafer sorting, the wafers are removed from the wafer sorter and moved to assembly equipment 122, where the wafers are sliced into dice for assembly. The packaging of dice which are not determined to be defective is performed during the assembly process. The assembled integrated circuits are then sorted according to any criteria, such as speed, to bins 124-128, for example. However, according to one aspect of the present invention, integrated circuits having defective programmable logic are binned in a separate bin, and more particularly, in a common bin 126. That is, integrated circuits having defective programmable logic may be binned in a common bin regardless of the location of the defective programmable logic.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the location of the defective programmable logic is recorded for each integrated circuit. For example, each defective integrated circuit can be separately programmed to indicate the location of the defective programmable logic. Alternatively or additionally, a record in a computer database external to the defective programmable logic device can be created to indicate the location of a defect in a programmable logic device based upon an identifier associated with the device which is readable on the device, such as a bar code, a serial number, electronically-stored device serial number, or some other unique identifier for the device. That is, rather than (or in addition to) storing an indication in a memory of the device, the location of the defect can be stored on the device by physically marking the device itself with some identifier indicating the location of a defective portion of programmable logic.
Assembled packaged integrated circuits are shipped during a distribution process, where a distribution channel 132 enables integrated circuits to be shipped to customers. During the distribution process, the integrated circuits may further be programmed with one of a plurality of configuration bitstreams for a single user specific design which avoids the defective portion(s) of the programmable logic, or without the user specific design, enabling them to instead be programmed by customers as will be described in more detail below.

An expanded view of a die of the wafer shows a device 202 having defects in programmable logic. In particular, the die is divided into a plurality of regions. In the example of
The regions need not be the same size or evenly distributed on the die, and the method used to identify defective regions of a device may depend on the layout and functional design of the device. The regions may be partitioned according to geographic region of the overall die (as in the embodiment of
In some embodiments, regions are not defined by physical locality, but are convenient collections of physical resources that may all be avoided simultaneously by placement and routing software. In other embodiments, regions are defined by the functionality of the defective programmable logic, programmable logic identified by the application of predetermined test vectors, or any other designation of a region that would enable a user to avoid the defective programmable logic in the device.
For example, in some embodiments the regions are determined based on the vectors in a test program. In one embodiment, one region corresponds to a failure of one of the test vectors. In another embodiment, one region corresponds to a failure of any one of a subset of test vectors. In another embodiment, one region corresponds to a failure of multiple, pre-defined test vectors.
As will be described in more detail below, the programmable logic device may be programmed to implement a design according to a layout which avoids the defective region. Although a single defective region is shown by way of example, multiple defective regions may be identified, where the device is programmed to avoid all of the identified defective regions.

The programming device 308 may be any device which programs the device 202, such as a non-volatile memory. The programming device 308 stores a plurality of configuration bitstreams 310-314 associated with a plurality of implementations of a given design. (In other words, configuration bitstreams 310-314 all implement the same design, but each in a different fashion.) In the pictured embodiment, the configuration bitstreams 310-314 include 16 bitstreams, with one bitstream for each device having defective programmable logic in one of the 16 regions. According to one embodiment, each of the 16 bitstreams is unique and may be used with a device having defective programmable logic in only one predetermined region of the programmable logic. Accordingly, the programming device 308 stores each of the unique 16 bitstreams which have been placed and routed to avoid one of the regions having defects in the programmable logic. If the device 202 comprises a CPLD, for example, the configuration bitstreams would be stored in a non-volatile memory of the CPLD.
The control circuit 304 receives the indication of the region having defective programmable logic, and provides a selection signal to the programming device 308 to select a given bitstream to be used to program the programmable logic, and in particular, program the programmable logic to avoid the defective region. For example, the control circuit may generate a selection signal based upon an indicator stored in the non-volatile memory 302 indicating that region 9 includes defective programmable logic.

In some FPGAs, each programmable tile includes a programmable interconnect element (INT 611) having standardized connections to and from a corresponding interconnect element in each adjacent tile. Therefore, the programmable interconnect elements taken together implement the programmable interconnect structure for the illustrated FPGA. The programmable interconnect element (INT 611) also includes the connections to and from the programmable logic element within the same tile, as shown by the examples included at the top of
For example, a CLB 602 may include a configurable logic element (CLE 612) that may be programmed to implement user logic plus a single programmable interconnect element (INT 611). A BRAM 603, may include a BRAM logic element (BRL 613) in addition to one or more programmable interconnect elements. Typically, the number of interconnect elements included in a tile depends on the height of the tile. In the pictured embodiment, a BRAM tile has the same height as four CLBs, but other numbers (e.g., five) may also be used. A DSP tile 606 may include a DSP logic element (DSPL 614) in addition to an appropriate number of programmable interconnect elements. An IOB 604 may include, for example, two instances of an input/output logic element (IOL 615) in addition to one instance of the programmable interconnect element (INT 611). As will be clear to those of skill in the art, the actual I/O pads connected, for example, to the I/O logic element 615 typically are not confined to the area of the input/output logic element 615.

In the pictured embodiment, each memory element 702A-702D may be programmed to function as a synchronous or asynchronous flip-flop or latch. The selection between synchronous and asynchronous functionality is made for all four memory elements in a slice by programming Sync/Asynch selection circuit 503. When a memory element is programmed so that the S/R (set/reset) input signal provides a set function, the REV input terminal provides the reset function. When the memory element is programmed so that the S/R input signal provides a reset function, the REV input terminal provides the set function. Memory elements 702A-702D are clocked by a clock signal CK, which may be provided by a global clock network or by the interconnect structure, for example. Such programmable memory elements are well known in the art of FPGA design. Each memory element 702A-702D provides a registered output signal AQ-DQ to the interconnect structure. Because each LUT 701A-701D provides two output signals, O5 and O6, the LUT may be configured to function as two 5-input LUTs with five shared input signals (IN1-IN5), or as one 6-input LUT having input signals IN1-IN6.

Lee Sin Build Guide by Unknown Hands
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Lee Sin Build
Jungle Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is my Very first Guild and I have one way I like to build Lee Sin. Why? because this one has worked and never failed ME. So I figure that I would share it with you all to test it out. Please leave comments when you vote so I can help improve this guild.
My runes are simple.
Reds go Desolation for removing that unwanted Armor on your enemies.
Yellows either go alacrity or resilience. I like to go with the armor for better laning phase and helps throught the game as well. Attack speed works really well if you want to try something different.
Blues I always go alacrity for the simple fact the only other rune type that work with him are shielding which work well but I like the slightly added attack speed.
Quints I ALWAYS go greater quintessence of swiftness X2 and 1 greater quintessence of desolation . I get the Swiftness because honestly when you have a base movement speed of 335 it helps with every early aspect of the game, example would be how the popular ashe guide recommends you use 3 of them.
My masteries are simple its just what I like and have used think I could improve on it leave me a comment and I will consider it :).
Ok I know my Items ARE REALLY expensive but I have only finished this build 1 time. Usually teams surrender or lose within minutes of you finishing your madreds.
I start with a dorians and usually end up with 2 of them because for beginning game/laning phase the amount of health attack dmg and lifesteal is really nice. Then I grab a Phage or parts of it why not boots? because you have your http://edge4.mobafire.com/images/ability/lee-sin-safeguard-iron-will.png skill to get you out of any quick fix.
Next grab starter boots, then start working on the rest of your Trinity force
I some times finish Mercury treds after Trinity force but if the team has a lot of CC I would get them before you get Zeal
I know some won't like the fact I have a Trinity force but I works with EVERY SKILL so why not get an Item that can exponentially increase your damage output.
Madreds bloodrazor this is your "say bye bye" to all people item the amount of dmg you will be doing once you get this is unreal.
YOU MUST GET banshees veil next for the pure fact you have enough dmg now is the time to get beefy and plus the passive and magic resist is what you need.
Last 2 items are really situational
Summoner Spells
YES SPELLS Exhaust, Ghost, ignite
OK SPELLS flash, cleanse, teleport
the rest are unneeded
I know My guide is sloppy but I suppose this is more of a build guide. Please leave a comment :)
I will also slowly improve on this guide as I figure out better Editing skills XD

Savannah-Chatham police investigators are searching for a suspect in a shooting that injured one man at a park early Tuesday afternoon.
A domestic disturbance just after 1 p.m. at the park near 39th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard led to the incident, said police spokesman Julian Miller. Police were uncertain immediately after the shooting whether the man injured was involved in the disturbance or was just a passerby.
Miller said his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. He was transported to a hospital for treatment.
Police are continuing their investigation. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020.
I-516 ramp closures through Thursday
Roadside vegetation management today will close ramps to Interstate 516 southbound at Exit 5 from 10 a.m. through 3 p.m.
Georgia Department of Transportation maintenance crews will conduct the work through Thursday, weather permitting.
Motorists are asked to seek alternate routes.

This coming Saturday we are hosting the 31 Heroes WOD at CrossFit Verve. Everyone is invited to participate and as in years past, we will not be charging drop in fees. Instead we ask that you please donate to the 31 Heroes Project. To register and donate please click HERE. You can also donate on the day of the workout as well. We will collect all donations and then mail them to the 31 Heroes organizers.
31 Heroes
On August 6, 2011, a tragedy shook the military community and Americans everywhere. In a single instance, America lost 30 military service members, many of whom were members of the Navy SEAL community—and one military K9– when an Extortion 17 helicopter was downed in Afghanistan.
In the wake of the unimaginable tragedy, a mission was born. Following the downing of Extortion 17, a fundraising WOD—hosted at more than 430 gyms around the country with more than 10,000 participants—raised $300,000 over a four-week period to support the 30 families affected. This prompted the organizers to create The 31Heroes Project to remember our fallen heroes and take care of their loved ones.
Since our first event in 2011, more than $1.5 million has been given back to our nation's heroes and their families through grant-making opportunities and partnership programs. In 2015, The 31Heroes Project launched the initiative to send a designated number of veterans to distinguished brain centers across the country to receive cutting-edge treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and/or Traumatic Brain Injury.
CrossFit Verve has hosted the workout for the past few years and we always have a great turnout and are able to donate to a worthy cause.
The workout is as follows:
AMRAP 31 minutes (As Many Reps As Possible)
8 Thrusters (155/105#)
6 Rope Climbs (15 ft. ascent)
11 Box Jumps (30/24″)
Partner #1 will perform the work listed above. Partner #2 will run 400m with a sandbag (45/25). Once Partner #2 returns from the run, Partner #1 will grab the sandbag and begin their 400m, while Partner #2 continues work wherever #1 left off.
Score is your total # of reps
As you know we can scale every movement so please bring anyone that would like to participate.
We need everyone to sign up through MBO, this includes non members as well. We will have two classes, one at 9:00 am and another at 10:30 am. We at Verve thank you for always coming together to support great causes and we look forward to another great turnout this coming Saturday.

By half time, the view of Pendle Hill and the town's proud old Victorian factory chimneys had faded into the evening.
On the floodlit glory of the Turf Moor pitch, though, Chelsea were already shining brightly.
At the end of a weekend when some of the leading clubs failed to impress, the Premier League favourites dazzled with their opening display.
Yes, it was the first game of the season and, yes, they were playing a promoted side but Jose Mourinho's 2014-15 team already look rather special.
Most importantly, the additions of Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa appear to have addressed and fixed the weaknesses that held Chelsea back last season.
Fabregas played what will remain one of the passes of the season to set up Chelsea's second goal for Andre Schurrle.
And Costa, who threw himself into the hurly-burly of the Premier League with refreshing relish, smashed in Chelsea's equaliser after they had fallen behind early on.
In pictures: Burnley 1-3 Chelsea
Tough trips to England's northern towns often seem to bring the best out of Mourinho's Chelsea sides.
His 2004-05 title-winning team produced one of their gutsiest, most important victories of that campaign at Blackburn Rovers.
And they went on to clinch their first title for half a century at Bolton Wanderers at the end of April.
So last night's visit to a Burnley side managed by the 'Ginger Mourinho', Sean Dyche, held no fears for them.
There will, of course, be far tougher tests to come than last night's victory against a Burnley team that cost a mere £5m to assemble.
Chelsea's starting XI cost more than 40 times that amount but at least they made their quality count.
All the changes Mourinho made worked. Fabregas and Costa both made fine starts. So, too, did Thibaut Courtois.
Mourinho made the ruthless decision to leave out one of his old servants, Petr Cech, to accommodate Courtois after his recall from Atletico Madrid.
And Courtois did not let him down. He commanded his area well and made one stunning save from Burnley goalscorer Scott Arfield early in the second half.
Every department of the team looked balanced. Fabregas and Matic complemented each other in their roles in front of the back four.
And Schurrle, Oscar and Eden Hazard showed off the full range of their technical gifts further forward.
Hazard was in breathtaking form, dancing and skipping past Burnley challenges at will, playing a crucial part in that bravura second goal.
Burnley did not give up and continued to offer the occasional threat to Chelsea's goal deep into the match.
They can take comfort in the fact that the Premier League is not always as forbidding as this.
For Chelsea, it was pretty much the perfect start at the end of an opening round of fixtures that has done little to diminish expectations that this title will be fought out between Mourinho's side and Manchester City.
Mourinho knows deep down that he has little margin for error this season. If Chelsea do not win the title or the Champions League, the recent history of the club suggests that he will probably be fired.
This display will not have encouraged those cannot bear his narcissism and his jibes.
Chelsea were strong last season. Now, indisputably, they are much, much stronger.

It has been stated often in Ardent Partners research and webinars that "it is an exciting time to work in procurement." And this is no less true today than it was last year or the year before. Whether it is because of the fast pace of business, the increasing scope of procurement's responsibilities, or because the quest to spend smarter and save more never truly ends, Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) and their teams are always on point to drive enterprise performance and deliver more value.
Another reason why it is exciting to work in procurement today – and will be in the future – is the unprecedented innovation available in the business technology market today; and it grows daily. Innovative technologies, like connected devices, machine learning algorithms, and artificial intelligence (so-called "cognitive" technologies), are fostering a more responsive, flexible, and effective procurement workforce that is better suited to adapt to the increasing uncertainty and evolving business needs of today and tomorrow. In short, business innovation is driving procurement agility, and will come to define the prototypical 21st century procurement team.
Today's article, the first installment in a three-part series, examines three business innovations and how they will combine to help CPOs and their teams drive procurement agility:
1. Connected Devices: Within the past few years, sensor technology in the form of small processors that have been embedded within commercial and residential technologies has given rise to "connected devices," or the so-called "Internet of Things" (IoT). Connected devices/IoT collect and transmit insightful and useful data about the item, the environment around them, or its user via the internet or a data network to a collection hub, other devices, or other users (click here to read about Ardent Partners' assessment of their impact on procurement). Point-to-point transmissions can help procurement pros understand when inventory levels are low, when machines need servicing, or when parts have failed and need to be replaced. However, connected devices/IoT have also created a lot of structured and unstructured data. As a result, enterprises are awash in Big Data, and many struggle to harness the power of it all even though it holds many valuable business insights.
2. Machine Learning: There is a Big Data "crisis" occurring in many organizations today; and like all crises, there is both danger and opportunity at play. Fortunately, supply management solutions are being developed on top of data management and analytic engines that apply complex algorithms to user data, and over time, learn user behavior patterns and preferences. The earlier and more frequently a user interacts with the systems, the more "intelligent" and adaptive the platform will be for the user moving forward. For example, business solutions grounded in machine learning technologies will be able to learn processes, like spend analysis, for a more intuitive, user-friendly experience. It could automatically collect, categorize, cleanse, enrich, and analyze the spend data, and then combine it with sourcing, contract, supplier, and third-party data to help end users paint a holistic picture of enterprise spend.
3. Artificial Intelligence: A natural extension of machine learning is artificial intelligence (AI), or what some technology vendors and evangelists refer to as "cognitive" technologies. These systems also leverage advanced algorithms, but they take the user experience to the next level. Beyond learning user preferences and behaviors and adapting interfaces accordingly, AI technologies contribute to the bigger picture, for example, by issuing "push" notifications and options to the user in the context of their workflows. For a category manager, it can monitor multiple data streams and alert him/her when their categories are at a higher degree of financial or operational risk. The system will aggregate supplier, risk, and market data, crunch the numbers, and alert users "in context", or perhaps issue an email or text message, stating that commodity prices are rising, falling, or there is heightened political volatility in a given region. Eventually, AI bots, driven by machine learning, will be able to conduct automatic purchasing, like regular commodity buys, and allow procurement teams to "load balance" itself towards strategic planning and relationship building.
Final Thoughts
For an industry that has not moved very fast (relative to other business functions), exciting times are upon CPOs and procurement teams. Connected devices are creating more data and insight about business operations and allowing procurement to be more agile and predictive with customer or enterprise needs. Machine learning is helping users understand themselves, their needs, and assist them in the execution of routine processes that may be routine but still need to get done. And cognitive, AI technologies will one day be the end user's "wingman" they always wanted – the "K.I.T.T." to their Michael Knight – learning, anticipating,and executing as needed for a wholly agile business unit.

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and the father of the child got angry and punched me in my lower abdomen the pain only lasted a few seconds can that affect my baby in anyway?
Also is that, even though he didn't cause any marks to me visually, enough reason to take it up with the cops and file a police report?
Most Helpful Guy
What the fuck?
Is that even a serious question!
Of course it can effect the fetus...
It can kill the fetus!
Cause miscarriage...
Damage you internally...
That said, seven weeks means the fetus is about the size of a peanut... Vulnerable but still small enough that your body likely absorbed most of the impact.
It's your responsibility as an expecting mother to remove yourself from the situation to save your baby...
No excuse for staying with him will be considered acceptable. Next punch may be at 7 months and give your child brain damage...22|00|0
Yes I know I asked because I'm only 7 weeks and the punch wasn't severe enough to the point where I was feeling it an hour later the pain only lasted a few seconds ice already made the report
He wants me to get rid of it I told him no
I know the more further along I become the more angry he will become and that next time who knows how much harder the punch will be he also threatened to kill me if I don't abort it so yeah I'm going through with the charges for sure
Good for you!
The love you'll feel for a baby will be more rewarding than anything that anyone could ever give you... It's pure and unconditional...
Congratulations and stay strong.

Film • Los Angeles, CA, USA •
"My passion is in storytelling."
Unraveled Artist Interview:
Q: What is your design philosophy?
A: My philosophy in filmmaking is story-driven; whether that be the person I'm interviewing, the company I'm promoting, or the artist I'm trying to convey through a music video. I start with the story and then go from there. I like my shots to be dynamic so you can have an intimate close-up to draw you in but also a wide shot to portray a scene.
Q: What aesthetic or visual ideas affect you the most?
A: I mainly get inspiration from films, music videos, and photography. It could be one of the classics or the latest YouTube video; I try to soak in various styles of work.
Q: How do you understand the interface between sound and visual?
A: When it comes to editing, I don't think there is anything more powerful than the perfect combination of sound and visual aspects. A film can move along visually on its own at times but adding music, sound effects, or dialogue I have found always enhances the piece and takes it to another level.
Q: Briefly explain your creative process.
A: My creative process always begins at the story; what story are we trying to tell? Is it someone's life, a company's mission, an artist's mindset? I take the elements that remain pertinent to that story and form them together first. You can have the most inspirational soundtrack or beautiful shots but without the story behind it so much can be left out. When all the pieces are in place and I can watch back a piece feeling that it flows seamlessly then I know it's done.
Q: Do you believe in the process more than result or result more than process? Why?
A: Sometimes when you're going through the process and so eagerly want to see the result it's easy to get lost. I try to absorb the process so I can see what I did differently this round, where I went wrong, where I went right, etc. The result is satisfying but knowing all the effort I focused on during the process is more fulfilling.
Q: Why do you value being part of an independent artist community?
A: To have an understanding with others who are in the same field is invaluable. Early in my career I looked at filmmaking as almost a competition with all the class projects and festivals and whatnot, but I soon learned that being collaborative and interacting with your peers is what makes a creative field such as filmmaking so incredible.
Q: What is the range of methods, materials and styles you are most comfortable working with?
A: I like to vary up the styles in which I work. Some edits might seem straightforward while others are abstract. At times, I have fallen into a formula for telling a story, but I force myself to break out of that mold and piece together something out of the ordinary.
Q: Please tell us how people can further support you and your work.
A: If you want help in telling your story please feel free to check out my website, contact me at email@example.com, or check out any of my social media pages.

Using technology and online resources for not only ideas, but possible exhibits, is a great way to pull even more into your Science Center.
NOTE: Only general ideas are given for this theme. Be sure to explore ideas online or at your local library.
1. Technology.
To use technology, you need to start with your visitor's experience and work backwards. As you do this, ask yourself where you can incorporate technology. This helps by keeping the limitations of current technology out of your way as you plan your exhibits. Now that we're concentrating on the experience, let's see what technology can be incorporated.
2. The Internet.
You can view videos, see experiments and even watch things happen in real time. Before deciding to add computers to the mix, make sure your equipment can handle it. For example, instead of going out to YouTube to watch a video, download it and loop it so the kids can watch it over and over. You may want to make your own videos instead so it covers exactly what you want it to show.
NOTE: You'll want to connect with the creator of any items you intend to use that you do not own to obtain permission to share them with others. You may need to add a disclaimer or acknowledgement in the loop.
3. Museum of Science + Industry.
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has online games, activities, videos and even a podcast. Check out what is available to see. Can you incorporate any of these into your exhibits?
4. TED Talks.
TED covers everything from education to technology. Look through the talks to find things specific to the theme you are thinking of using for your Science Center. You'll find a lot of forward thinking here that will make your offerings seem more relevant.
NOTE: TED Talks can be either audio or video. Check out the Enrichment Project badge program of the same name for more information.
Online labs can be either remotely-operated real labs or virtual labs that simulate real equipment. Check out this site for various online labs. Experiment and see what you can use or duplicate in your own exhibits.
6. YouTube.
Experiments and information on YouTube can be exhausting to go through, but if you spend enough time, you'll find what you're looking for. As you go through science channels, note those which will help support your Science Center theme.
7. Podcasts.
There are some amazing science podcasts available for you to enjoy. You might use these for research or ideas. Check out a few different podcasts to see what you might be able to incorporate into your exhibit.
8. Interactive.
While this might not be using a lab, interactive science websites can help ease kids into new branches of science. Explore interactive web sites. Might you be able to create a display to allow visitors to interact with the site live?
9. Government apps.
Government applications are only one type that might be available for you to use in your Science Center. From air quality (AIRNow) to a better healthcare experience (ZocDoc), there are many you may find support your theme. Check these out!
10. Other apps.
It is crazy to point to one or two apps that might be beneficial. New apps come out all the time. A couple links are in the "Sites to Explore" below. Be sure to do a search for your platform and science area you're hoping to supplement. You may not be able to use the app for your Science Center, but the data might be able to give you supporting evidence to make your exhibit more interesting.
11. Explore more!
Technology changes every day. Explore and experiment to come up with even more ways to incorporate technology into your Science Center.
