Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianuniverse.net/forums/ Kenneth Ma finally gets Myolie Wu asks for kiss scenes Kenneth Ma, Myolie Wu, Kate Tsui, Nancy Wu, Oscar Leung, Him Law and Kandy@Sugar Club attended the costume fitting for TVB new series Seasons of Love. In the series, Kenneth and Myolie play a couple. Kenneth joked he finally successfully 'pursued' Myolie after 6 or 7 years since To Grow with Love. Back then, Myolie wanted Andy Hui and didn't want him, but he's very happy that he got her this time. Myolie said: "I'll give him a chance to touch my hand!" Kenneth said overjoyed that he will asked the producer to add kiss scenes and that he's best at adding these scenes. He'll also challenges Myolie's boyfriend Bosco Wong over the air: "My tongue is very long, don't have any shortcomings. It's just my hair is short!" When asked why he isn't paired with Nancy Wu? He said that is a question for the producer and he doesn't know. Perhaps the producer didn't think they match. Nancy feels she doesn't necessarily have to play a couple with Kenneth, perhaps the producer thinks Myolie is more suitable. When asked if she has any kiss scenes? Nancy said she knows Oscar Leung too well, and it would be weird to kiss him. Fortunately, there aren't any kiss scenes for them this time, but in private she actually kissed Myolie before and expressed her thick lips are good to kiss. When reporters asked again if she's talking about Kenneth or Myolie? Nancy embarrassingly expressed: "Bye bye, I'm not answering that question!" It was rumored because Francis Ng is delaying Triumph in the Skies II, this series is used to kill time, so the cast won't have to wait foolishly. Myolie expressed: "I heard of this too, but I don't know who we are waiting for, but it's no problem. We'll be starting TITS2 in July anyway." As for Kate, she expressed she and the optometrist are just friends. When asked if he has a wealthy family background? She stuttered a little and said she didn't want to comment too much. |

With reseller web hosting, profits are low but gains are extremely high. That is why if you have knowledge with web hosting, better start a reseller web hosting plans right away to gain the benefits of passive income. However getting to the passive income stage is not as easy as what advertisers claim they are.
What is Reseller Web Hosting?
Reseller Web Hosting is a kind of web hosting service where the account owner has the right to use their provided disk space and bandwidth to host other websites. This gives the web hosting provider a way to popularize their web hosting service and your ability to earn money from the websites you host.
Can we really earn in a reseller web hosting?
Reseller web hosting is passive income, you will be earning money by doing nothing but here's a catch:
To get there you must work hard. Like all other businesses around, taking extra time and effort for your business can let you earn great rewards. Arm yourself with knowledge and strategically plan where you can put your reseller web hosting to gather customers and earn money. Ideally, the best way to look for customers are on forums, social networking sites, or placing advertisements on blog posts.
You need to sacrifice a small amount of cash to earn. Want to get things done fast? If you can't do the advertising alone, hire someone to do it for you. Outsource virtual assistants to post ads in forums, hire article writers to write articles about your reseller web host, or generate leads by creating your own "guru" web sitesi. These methods need a small amount of cash you need to sacrifice even right from the start but is sure is very rewarding in the long run. Not only that it beats the stress and discipline to do repetitive tasks each day, but also lets you get to what you want faster.
Your success depends on the web hosting provider you are at. You are in control of reselling the web hosting service but not the actual service itself. If you are in a web hosting provider that performs badly to its customers, your reseller business will also get affected. So choose wisely in selecting the best web hosting provider for reseller web hosting. If you are in a bad situation right now, act fast. Get out of that web hosting provider immediately and choose another web host before all your customers leave.
Repeat. Earning money from reseller web hosting is a repetitive process. Do the above methods everyday and you are sure to get your passive income faster. If you hate repetition, stay away from selling web hosts and do find other work. You won't get far.
How to make money from reseller web hosting?
Earning is very simple. Follow these steps:
- Promote you business so anyone will know about it.
- Be disciplined in what you do, respect what others are doing.
- Stay determined. There will be times that your business will test your determination skills, never give up and keep pushing on.

Got a new iPhone? Get Some Headphones for it
Patch kicks off its holiday gadget gift guide with a look at the best headphones available.
Thanksgiving is over, the leftovers are dwindling and December is almost here. That means the holiday lights will start appearing, the Christmas music will be blasting through department stores for the next month and, most importantly, it's time to start shopping for gifts.
Each Monday, Patch will be throwing some gadget gift recommendations your way. Your Gadget Gift Guide kicks off with a look at headphones.
Best full-size headphones: The Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones are comfortable, sport a balanced sound and, at $105, are a bargain. CNET gives these headphones a four-star review (out of five). The only downside is there's no integrated microphone, so you can't use them to take calls on your cellphone.
Best Bluetooth headphones: If you're feeling fancy then the Parrot Zik wireless Bluetooth Headphones are what you're looking for. At $399, they're definitely on the pricier end of the headphone spectrum, but for that price you get noise cancellation, a touch panel on the right ear cup and even a head detection sensor, which pauses and starts your music depending on when you put the headphones on. And two directional microphones means you can take calls and talk while wearing the headphones.
Best headphones for exercise: Looking for a pair of headphones that can handle sweat? The Monster iSport Immersion In-Ear Headphones have got you covered. They're sweat proof and noise cancelling, with a secure fit and impressive sound, according to CNET's review. And, at around $67, they're a bargain.

Auburn Mountainview's Max Barton takes the plunge for his team
By SHAWN SKAGER
Auburn Reporter Sports Reporter
January 17, 2013 · 2:08 PM
Things were looking good for the Auburn Mountainview boys swimming and diving team coming into the 2012-13 season.
Except for one little problem – no divers.
Sure, the team boasted a strong core of returning swimmers – including Cameron Lindsay, the reigning Washington State 3A 100-yard backstroke champion – but with their top diver from last season injured, the Lions were looking at losing points in the diving competition at every meet.
"Vitaly Borodulin suffered a concussion early in the year," coach Justin Pritchard said. "He was practicing at the start of the year and then got hurt. We weren't sure if he was going to come back this season at all."
Enter sophomore Max Barton.
"We put the word out, and a bunch of swimmers that were just going to be swimmers decided to come out," Pritchard said. "And Max stepped up and learned six dives in two days. He actually took first place in our first meet, because he was the only diver. That was really exciting."
According to Barton, who turned out for swimming for the first time this year just to get faster for water polo, it was simply a matter of helping out the team.
"Our coach told us we were going to lose a lot of points without a diver, so a couple of my friends and me started diving to help the team out," Barton said. "It stuck with me and I really liked it, so I kept doing it."
Barton said he immediately began working with Auburn Mountainview's diving coach, Brandon Schreib, to get down the six dives needed to compete.
Much to everyone's surprise, Barton learned the six dives in just two days.
"It was rushed but I was surprised by how hard it actually wasn't," Barton said. "I thought it would take me a couple of weeks."
Although Barton said he had messed around on the spring board before, taking the plunge just for fun, he'd never actually tried to flip or dive backwards.
"At first it was easy with just front dive and front
front flip. I could do those," Barton said. "Then [Schreib] had me do a back dive and back flip, and I couldn't do anything backwards, not even on a trampoline."
After mastering the backwards dives, Barton said, he began working on the more complicated dives.
"Then I started working on more than one flip, like the forward one and a half," Barton said. "I flopped a few times, but after a while it got easier with practice."
Barton said he threw himself wholeheartedly into the practice regime, putting in two hours a day polishing his technique when there were no meets.
"What he did was pretty big," Pritchard said. "We were going to get rid of diving all together. Here we had a diving coach but no divers. But they all stepped up, and Max is the one that has gotten the furthest so far. I think (he can move on to postseason). We've still got a whole month."
Although Borodulin has now returned for the Lions, Barton said he plans to continue to dive.
"Our school record for diving, according to the board, is 170," he said. "And I'm looking to beat that record. My best is 124."
Auburn Mountainview AT-A-GLANCE
• COACH: Justin Pritchard, seventh season
• TOP SWIMMERS: Cameron Lindsay, senior, 100 back, 200 IM and relays; Colin Lempert, senior, 50 free and relays; Luke Lavine, sophomore, relays; John Kyle Davis, 100 back and relays; and Paul Whisman, senior, relays.
• OUTLOOK: The Lions return a strong core of experienced swimmers, including Lindsay, who captured first-place in the 100 back at this past season's Washington State 3A championships with a 51.29-second time. Lindsay also placed sixth in the 200 IM with a 1:59.81 time. The team's 200 medley relay team also competed at state last year and has already notched a state qualifying time this season."We have a lot of speed at the top," Pritchard said. "It's the first time we've qualified for a relay during the season. Across the board we're very fast."

How Transistor works - verifying |
Share Thread |
Jul6-11, 02:11 AM | #69 |
How Transistor works - verifyingRegarding canon, earlier you stated that the Ebers-Moll model is a CC model, and their original paper employed current-controlled current sources. Correct? Are you certain that you're not misinterpreting something? N.b. that your assertion regarding Ebers-Moll being a CC model goes entirely contrary to numerous undergrad Uni books which give the following CV (large signal transconductance) equation as the central feature of Ebers-Moll model: Ic=Is*(exp(Vbe/Vt)-1) (for large hfe of course, alpha ~=1)Is this not canon? If the above CV equation isn't "Ebers-Moll model," then you've discovered a vast flaw in an enormous number of textbooks. |
Jul6-11, 02:38 AM | #70 |
Cabraham's approach in stressing the width of the interdepletion region is excellent and fundamental - or at least it was when I learned about transistors back in the 1960s. (post#68)
Pierce devotes several pages to calculations of the effect of base width on carrier density, potential diagrams etc and has an excellent diagram on page 101, which I have appended. For expansion of these formulae (posts #68 & 69) I also recommend the monograph by E H Cooke-Yarborough of the Atomic energy Research Establishment at Harwell An introduction to transistor circuits (1957) go well |
Jul6-11, 12:02 PM | #71 |
The exp( ) relates the Vbe to Ic, but alpha is all important. The exp( ) covers the relation between Vbe & Ie. To get Ic we need alpha. The diode equation for the b-e jcn is Ie = Ies*exp((Vbe/Vt) - 1)> But Ic = alpha*Ie. So Ic = alpha*Ies*exp( ). The collector current is controlled by alpha*Ie. But Ie has a direct relation w/ Vbe as well as Ib. All 3 eqns are relevant. A bjt offers both current gain as well as voltage gain. To compute current gain we use eqn 1) for the common emitter & emitter follower topologies. For the common base current gain, we use eqn 3). To compute voltage gain we use eqn 2). Again, all 3 eqns come into play when thoroughly analyzing bjt behavior. We cannot make more than one quantity the controlling quantity. We generally control Ie, & Ic = alpha*Ie. Sometimes we control Ib, w/ Ic = beta*Ib. Usually this is not good due to beta dependency. We want networks that rely on well defined parameters like alpha & resistor values. Resistors have tight tolerances. Send me a message, & I'll email you the E_M paper, the horses' mouth on the E-M eqns. BR. Claude |

Beware, this could be a case similar to Maxwell's Equations. Go to Maxwell's original work and you won't find his four equations. Maxwell never actually wrote those four, and probably wasn't aware they existed. Maxwell attacked the problem in an obscure way, employing magnetic vector potential, quaternions, and writing twenty equations. Later scientists came in and revised everything, producing the four equations known today. If you rely on Maxwell as the "horse's mouth," then you'd be in big trouble. (Officially the four equations are today called the Hertz/Heaviside equations. But Maxwell discovered the original mathematical form which describes EM fields.) See 2008 Microwave Journal, 23 years: Acceptance of Maxwell Theory http://bit.ly/qRQNCH |

Maxwell's translation of K is quite interesting to read since if Professor Lewin followed the original he would not be able to present his famous 'conflict between K and Faraday lecture'. This type of situation is actually not uncommon in the physical sciences. |
Jul13-11, 09:02 PM | #74 |
But they were your source for your thesis. My CC model is affirmed by every semicon OEM I know of, i.e. Tex Instr, Natl Semi, Fairchild, Intl Rectif, etc. Ebers-Moll is pretty accurate, but Gummell-Poon is an improvement. The G-P model includes an additional factor to account for Early influence. The Early voltage is denoted as "Va". So Gummell-Poon is as follows: Ic = alpha*Ies*(exp((Vbe) -1)))*(1 + (Vce/Va)). At large values of Vce, the collector current for a given Ib, or Vbe as well, is larger than that obtained at low values of Vce. I'm sure you are well aware of the Early effect, no need to elaborate. That is the main difference between E-M & G-P. Again, let me re-iterate that we seem to agree that the current control bjt model is a good external model when internal physics need not be considered. But when the internal charge profile & device geometry is relevant, the EE canon uses charge control as the correct bjt model. You insisted on voltage control, relying on E-M as the source, which does not support such a claim. So when we look inside the device, & we need a better model than current control, what do we use? I say charge control, as does every semicon OEM, & uni. I say "QC", & that is my final answer. Any questions? Anyone? Claude |
Jul15-11, 09:59 AM | #75 |
I still haven't stated my position. Such enormous messages, and all without knowing what my arguments are. I'm very confused. http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/straw-man.html I've been remaining silent on this issue because I'm waiting for you to notice that something important is missing. Also I'm waiting for you to stop repeatedly putting words in my mouth while constructing extensive counterarguments, over and over. Looking back on this thread, it obviously hasn't worked. So, what would work? You got me... I have no idea. Suggestions from everyone would be welcome. |
Jul15-11, 07:38 PM | #76 |
Bill, please state exactly what you differ with in the EE canon. Your site makes some pointed criticisms regarding the way bjt operation is presented in engr colleges & semicon OEM app notes.
Where is the error in the common view of bjt operation? Where did I (Claude) err in presenting my understanding of bjt basics. Let's not be cryptic. Anything that I said that is not clear, or appears mistaken, or requires elaboration, is no problem at all AFAIC. Again, I won't presume to know what your position is. So I'm asking you to state very plainly in detail the specific issues you have, if any, with OEM bjt models. We can take it from there. Best regards. Claude |
Jul15-11, 10:47 PM | #77 |
Look, I couldn't explain resistors to the public if I was forced to include the complete high-freq LC model; all we really need is Ohm's law (although even Ohm's law is quite a bit too advanced.) Isn't that obvious? And I certainly wouldn't explain diodes to them using a charge control high-freq model. And Gummel-Poon CC model of the bjt is completely inappropriate for my audience. That's why I keep asking, did you notice who my audience was? Yes Gummel-Poon obviously is required for VHF design, for accurate spice simulations, etc. But for explaining transistors to people with zero math skills, it's just ridiculous. Is this clear? CC is wrong. It utterly fails. It's a complete mismatch for the task at hand. It's the wrong tool for the job. (If you're looking for a tool which always works in every situation, well, good luck with that.) So, how would we answer the following question? What's a good way to explain the inner workings of the BJT to the math-phobic general public?Above is the whole point of my article. |
Jul16-11, 09:44 AM | #78 |
Of course there is no tool which works in every situation. I stated that repeatedly. Even QC (charge control) does not always provide a precise result. CC has its limitations, but since we're discussing external models, no internal physics, how is it that CC untterly fails? Examine the following 2 current eqns: 1) Ic = beta*Ib. 3) Ic = alpha*Ie. Again if "ft" is the device transition freq, & beta is the current gain, then fb (f_beta) = ft/beta. This "fb" value is where the beta value is 0.707 times the low frequency beta value. At freqencies below this value, eqns 1) & 3) are valid. You can rely on them provided the device is not used as a saturated switch. The following eqn relates Vbe to Ic: 2) Ic = alpha*Ies*exp((Vbe/Vt) - 1). Again, this is a perfectly valid relation at speeds below fb, & with the restriction that the bjt not enter saturation. These are the same restrictions for eqns 1) & 3). For higher speeds and/or use of the device as a saturated switch, we must use QC. Stored minority carriers, distribution in space, reverse recovery charge, reverse recovery time etc. come into play. None of these useful parameters appear in eqns 1), 2), & 3). Eqns 1), 2), & 3), are simply what I call the "terminal eqns". They are not a failure, just limited in scope. They are conditionally valid. My final point, forgive me for repeating myself. Neither I nor the OEMs ever claimed that the CC model was valid for internal physics. We have presented the CC model as a superficial external estimate. It works under the conditions given above. No need to belabor the limitations of CC, as it is universally acknowledged. For high speed operation, saturation, and internal physics analysis, the CC model is too oversimplified and cannot provide much help. But your whole point is to avoid complex math, & theory. On one hand you claim that CC fails, then you state that you wish to avoid heavy math & physics. The eqn 2), Ic in terms of Vbe, is just as limited as are eqns 1) & 3). When the CC model is shown to be inadequate, you say we should use the VC model, I & the OEMs say QC model. That is where we differ. It's not about the limitations of CC model. We agree that CC is limited. Our difference is in which model is more precise for the conditions where CC fails. Your view tha VC takes over has no support from any solid state physics theory. Only QC can handle the speed & saturation conditions. Neither Ic eqn, using Ib, Vbe, or Ie, can handle these conditions. I'm at a loss to make it any clearer. Is my point clear? Claude |

I said this: I never said this: OK, one more time. Do you understand who is the intended audience of my article? My article is for children and the general public. My transistor article is for children. As I said in my previous message, Gummel-Poon and CC is wrong for children. When explaining the inner workings of transistors to children, CC fails. Using it is just stupid. It's completely the wrong tool for children.. It's like using a screwdriver to hammer nails. If I tried to use CC and some equations to explain the inner workings of the BJT, and my audience is children, then I'd be a failure. The goal of my article is to explain the inner workings of transistors to children. Perhaps I didn't explain this before? :) We are explaining the internal physics of transistors ...to children. Again, how would we answer the following question? What's a good way to explain the inner workings of the BJT to children?This question reveals the entire point of my transistor article. |

Bill, you ask "What's a good way to explain the inner workings of the BJT to children?"
My answer is, of course, the 2 diode back to back model. After diodes are explained to children, then the 2 diodes can be explained. A thick base region behaves like 2 back to back diodes & nothing more. As the base region is made thinner, transistor action is then observed. The CC model, namely Ic = alpha*Ie, works very well. For 2 back to back diodes, the Ic value should only be a small value, that associated w/ the c-b jcn reverse leakage current. Namely Ic = -Ics*exp((Vbc/Vt) - 1). After all, the c-b jcn is reverse biased, so little current can flow. The emitter current Ie is given by Ie = Ies*exp((Vbe/Vt) - 1), of course. So we have Ic = -Ics*exp((Vbc/Vt) - 1). Ie = Ies*exp((Vbe/Vt) - 1). For 2 diodes, that is the truth, whole truth, & nothing but the truth. But when the base is so thin that the 2 junctions are in extreme proximity, another term is added to the eqns. Ic = alpha*Ies*exp((Vbe/Vt) - 1) - Ics*exp((Vbc/Vt) - 1). The added term is in bold font. Personally, this explains bjt action w/o quantum mechanics. The "alpha term" accounts for the emitted carriers from the emitter, transporting right through the base before most can recombine, then continue onward into the collector. The better the transfer, the closer alpha is to unity. Honestly Bill, if the target is children, & QM is off limits, is there a better explanation than the 2 back-back diodes w/ ultra-thin base width? If there is, please enlighten us. BR. Claude |

So, how can we explain BJTs to children? To design an explanation, first describe the basic BJT operation verbally:
No heresies so far? :) |

Children can easily understand how this can compass either polarity or FETs etc. Otherwise you have all sorts of words they only half understand such as voltage, charge, current carrier etc. (Are physicists really any better? ) |

The power/signal source driving the amp stage is what sets the current. Then when carriers cross the junction recombination takes place for a small minority of carriers. Ionization occurs, & the local E field increases slightly due to the slightly increased charge distribution at the barrier zone. Vbe increases slightly. This results in a slightly greater Vbe drop at the increased current level. The important point is that the rate of charges crossing the junction is determined by the power incident on the signal source driving the whole network. Using my singing Susan example w/ a microphone works well. Sue imparts acoustic energy to the mic diaphragm. Mechanical/acoustic power is converted to electrical power. The voltage drops due to cable resistance, the rbb' base region resistance in the bjt, the Vbe drop, & re, all subtract from the mic generated voltage. The Vbe drop does not solely determine Ie. Rather, Ie is the net voltage after drops, divided by the total loop impedance. Vbe does not control Ic, but they are intrinsically & indirectly related. Here's how the events take place. 1) Sue sings into the mic. 2) Current & voltage are generated at the mic diaphragm. The ratio of V to I is the mic cable characteristic impedance, Zo. 3) The I & V move along the cable & encounter the bjt amp stage. Along the way cable resistance results in collisions & a charge distribution forming a potential barrier. Signal gets attenuated. 4) At the amp stage input carriers incur base side collisions due to rbb', & emitter side collisions due to re. Attenuation occurs. 5) Then the carriers cross the b-e junction. Most nake it to the collector but a few recombine in the base & ionize local atoms. 6) This changes ther barrier charge density & potential. The current is again attenuated. 7) If Sue cranks up her volume, the additional charges outputted by the mic add to the b-e barrier increasing Vbe. Bottom line, Sue is the prime mover, she makes everything happen. Her volume determines all currents & voltages. She can sing loud, soft, or in between. Nothing happens until Sue makes it happen. Rbb', re, cable R, cable C, b-e diffusion capacitance, b-c Miller cap, & barrier potential play a role. But none of them exclusively determine the current crossing the junction. Sue determines that current mostly, but there are drops due to rbb, re, & Vbe that diminish Sue's output. If Sue's mic outputs Vmic, each quantity cable R, rbb, re, & Vbe drop a portion of Vmic, leaving maybe 0.78*Vmic, or 0.63*Vmic, whatever. If all drops were zero. Sue dictates the current. But nonideal parameters mentioned above rob a portion of Sue's signal. Thus, Vbe, rbb, re, & others do indeed play a partial role in "setting the current", but all are minor roles. Sue is tha main entity that "sets" & determines the current crossing the junction. Is my explanation clear. BR. Claude |

Once again again again: THIS IS FOR CHILDREN. Complexity is verboten, and complex-ifying a simple situation is not any sign of competence. "Complexifers" are extremely valuable as graduate textbook authors, as RF chip designers, and for writing the best SPICE models. But for talking to children, "simplifiers" are who we need to hire.
We simplify everything by removing every smaller effect we can think of: remove the AC-source (microphone) and inject a Base current, unless you prefer a DC voltage source. Assume that rbb and re is zero, remove high-power phenomena, use the magical zero-resistance cable found in all intro courses, treat the DC case alone while ignoring dynamic AC issues such as Miller and other parasitic capacitance/inductance. We want a clear view of the most important phenomenon, so we wipe away all smaller details from our window. We don't even mention these details. (If something forces us to do so, we can add some details back in afterwards.) |

State of the Phillies: First base
The latest Phillies and baseball news from Philly.com.
State of the Phillies: First base
David Murphy
This week, the Daily News and High Cheese will be taking an in-depth look at the Phillies roster moving forward, breaking down the state of each position as it relates to the future and the present. In Tuesday's newspaper, Ryan Lawrence will look at the infield. Today, we'll start things off with a look at first base.
The success of a lineup is dictated by the economics of salary and personnel distribution, and the Phillies' production at first base in 2012 was a prime example. The market of talent in baseball features a strong supply of players who can both hit for power and reach base at rates above the league average. Of the $178 million that a team can spend before it exceeds the luxury tax threshold, the Phillies allocated 14.05 percent to their starter at first base. Really, the number is slightly higher than that when you factor in the $10 million that each team is required to pay for player benefits, which counts against the threshold (in other words, teams can spend about $168 million on player salaries before going over the threshold). In 2012, the Phillies flunked those economics, as their production at third base was well below league average in most major offensive categories.
I. 2012 production, Phillies first basemen (NL rank out of 16 teams in parentheses)
BREAKDOWN: Ryan Howard struggled after he returned from the disabled list in early July, hitting .219/.295/.423 with 99 strikeouts in 260 at-bats in 71 games. Howard maintained his knack for hitting with runners on base (his 56 RBI in 71 games would equate to 127 RBI in 162 games) and for hitting home runs (14 HR in 71 games equates to 31 HR in 162 games). But a .219 batting average and .295 on base percentage are significant detriments: if you value RBI, you must value runs scored, and a hitter must reach base in order to score runs. Howard recorded career-worst marks in walk rate, strikeout rate and at-bats-per-home-run. The first three months of the season featured Ty Wigginton (62 games, .757 OPS) and John Mayberry Jr. (24 games, .625 OPS) getting the bulk of the action at first base. Combined, the result was production that was well below what the majority of other National League teams received from first base.
II. Future Salary Commitments (Edited to reflect lux. tax threshold increase to $189 mil in '14)
2012: Ryan Howard, 33 years old, $20.0 million (14.05 percent of luxury tax threshold)
2013: Ryan Howard, 34 years old, $20.0 million (14.05 percent of luxury tax threshold)
2014: Ryan Howard, 35 years old, $25.0 million (13.23 percent of luxury tax threshold)
2015: Ryan Howard, 36 years old, $25.0 million (13.23 percent of luxury tax threshold)
2016: Ryan Howard, 37 years old, $25.0 million (13.23 percent of luxury tax threshold
2017: Ryan Howard, 38 years old, $23.0 million or $10 million buyout (13.23 percent or 0.00 percent of luxury tax threshold)
Flexibility: None. Howard is still owed $95 million in annual salary over the next four seasons, plus a $10 million buyout in 2017. His luxury tax cost is $25 million a season over the next four years, and he will be 33 years old during the 2013 season.
III. 2013 Organizational Depth Chart
- Ryan Howard, 33, $25 million average annual value (AAV) signed through 2016
- John Mayberry Jr., 29, pre-Arb (2.095 service time), club control through at least 2016
- Laynce Nix, 32, $1.25 million AAV signed thru 2013.
- Darin Ruf, 26, pre-Arb (< 1.000 ST), club control through at least 2018
- Erik Kratz, 33, pre-Arb (<1.000 ST), club control through at least 2018
BREAKDOWN: First base will not be a priority for the Phillies for the foreseeable future. Manuel said late in the season that he thought Kratz could handle spot duty at first base, although there is no indication that will play a major role in 2013. Ruf, like any player with one month of big league experience, is an unknown, although he is the best chance for the Phillies to have some young depth at the position over the life of Howard's contract.
IV. Potential for personnel upgrades
TRADE POTENTIAL: None. Even during Howard's healthy 2011 season, his .253/.346/.488 batting line and 33 home runs were nearly identical to Adam LaRoche's .271/.343/.510 and 33 home runs for the Nationals this year. LaRoche, of course, was making $8 million in AAV compared with $25 million for Howard. Just to give Howard away to another team, the Phillies would likely have to eat at least half of the money remaining on his contract.
Disagree? Prior to 2011, Paul Konerko signed a three-year, $37.5 million deal that covered his 35, 36 and 37 years old seasons. Howard is due to earn $75 million for his 35-to-37-year-old seasons, plus a $10 million buyout for his 38-year-old season. If Konerko's contract is what the free market would bear for those years of power production at first base, there is little reason to expect that a team would assume more than that amount in acquiring Howard. Factor in the fact that Konerko's number have been better than Howard's over the past few seasons, and that Konerko is not one year removed from a ruptured Achilles, and it is pretty safe to say that the market would view Howard as, at best, a $12.5 million-per-season player over the remaining four years of his contract.
The time for maneuvering at first base was the last few seasons, when Howard, Prince Fielder, Albert Pujols and Adrian Gonzalez all signed new deals. The Phillies made their choice, and now it is on Howard to prove them right or wrong.
FREE AGENT MARKET: With a slew of elite first baseman having signed contract extensions over the previous few seasons, the 2013 market is not a strong one. Assuming the Nationals exercise LaRoche's $10 million option, the only potential everyday players available are Mike Napoli, Carlos Pena and James Loney. The rest: Jason Giambi, Eric Hinske, Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee, Casey Kotchman, Ty Wigginton, Lyle Overbay, Xavier Nady.
V. First base: In conclusion
The Phillies have no choice but to believe that Howard will get back to the production level he offered when they signed him to a five-year, $125 million contract extension during the 2010 season, when he still had two years left on his existing deal. The first baseman was not in the same physical condition that he was before his surgery, which the Phillies hope will be rectified by an offseason of his usual training regimen. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has acknowledged that the Phillies' future will be dictated largely by the performance of the players who are earning significant dollars, and Howard is the most crucial member of that club.

Whether you project monster production, or meager performance are both two polar extremes, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing......yet.
Spring Training will tell the tale of recovery during the off-season, conditioning or not, practice, yes, I'm talking about practice, in plate discipline, the last problem having existed since pitchers learned Howard can't lay off a breaking ball low and away in the dirt.
If Howard can produce again, who wouldn't be happy? If he can't, the calls for Rube's head will be in full throat as he handcuffed the team with a very stupid contract.
Since no one here is named Nostradamus, or writes in quaint French quatrains, we just have to wait and see. Every prognostication before the reality of 2013 is just wasted breath. PhillyboyinNYC- fafink
Please consider platooning him at first base at the very least....His RBI count is not balanced by a 40% strikeout rate....outs are bad in baseball, Ruben. westie33
the slugging beasts. If RAJ hadn't have given RH that extension
and RH had a great 2010 & 2011 it certainly would have cost the
Phils a lot more than this contract. Long term contracts are a
dredful thing but sometimes u eat the bear and sometimes the bear
eats u. Didn't agree with the extension in 2010 but if it didn't
happen then his contract due date cud have cost more. It's a win
win or lose lose situation and i guess RAJ thought it was going
to be the win win. A great deal of huge contracts are a gamble
and RAJ thought it was a worth the gamble at the time. Was RAJ
right or wrong? I certainly am not going to judge him as all
of us commenting here think we know better but in all realty
we don't. That wasn't meant to be a insult to all commentors,
it's just we just aren't smart enough to know the right answers.
Anyway here's hoping RH exercises and eats like he should in the
off season and hope he comes back with a vengeance in 2013. associate- abbyzuk

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Some who attend the high school prom in 2013 will wear gowns that once belonged to West Virginia's first lady.
Joanne Jaeger Tomblin on Wednesday afternoon donated formal gowns to Ronda's Closet, where girls preparing for the prom may choose dresses at no cost.
She said the prom gown giveaway is a good project, and she hopes others will follow suit by donating dresses to a place where girls may shop for free.
"I remember shopping for my prom dress," she said. "It's a big deal."
Tomblin donated two taffeta floor-length gowns with jackets in the colors of eggplant and wine. She also donated two basic black cocktail dresses that may be worn by chaperones.
She doesn't recall exactly where she wore the clothing but believes it must have been some legislative events. While she can't remember the details, she believes they were all purchased locally and she wore them more than once.
While details of these dresses remain sketchy, she remembers her high school prom well.
"It was the event everyone waited for," she said. "You knew you were graduating from high school, and it was the last big event before going different ways. I wore a long, floor-length yellow dress. We had the Brooklyn Bridge as the band in a big country club on Long Island. We had a great time. "
While many clothing styles come and go, gowns are fairly timeless, she said. However, gowns often hang in closets when they could be put to good use.
The first lady asked her executive assistant, Susan Fox, and Tina Amburgey, public information specialist, for ideas about what to do with gowns.
After some discussion, they decided Ronda's Closet would be a good choice. Tomblin plans to send more gowns there in the future and hopes others will make donations as well.
"You get more out of helping and giving than receiving," she said.
Ronda's Closet, housed at Aldersgate United Methodist Church near Sissonville, opened during the prom season of 2006 in memory of Ronda Jones Howard, who died of breast cancer in 2004 at age 44. Howard was a model and a special person, said friend Julia Black.
Just days before her death, Howard sent a beautiful gown to Black just because she wanted her to have it. Black looked at the dress and thought about a place in another state where she heard that girls could get free gowns. She decided to begin a similar program in memory of her beautiful and generous friend.
The program has continued through donations of new and gently used dresses from individuals and businesses. Gardner's provides dry cleaning and storage as needed to keep the project going.
Rick and Cathy Leach, owners of three Gardner's locations, were on hand Wednesday along with Black to accept the gowns from the first lady and to thank her.
Black accepts donations of gowns throughout the year in preparation of each upcoming prom season.
Last prom season, more than 50 girls from several counties selected gowns from Ronda's Closet. A wide variety of styles and sizes are needed each year to accommodate all tastes and sizes.
The gowns are free to all who need them with no questions asked. The only request is that the dresses be returned so others may wear them the following prom season.
Black is grateful to all who donate gowns and feels blessed each year to have enough to go around.
"It's almost like God sends us more," she said. "It replenishes itself."
For more information about Ronda's Closet or to donate gowns, call Black at 304-389-4604.

Whether you're going to Mukilteo to catch a ferry, leaving Mukilteo to head to work or school, or attending a meeting at the stately Rosehill Community Center, public transportation can get you there.
You can take the bus to the Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival in September. All three Mukilteo bus routes serve stops near Lighthouse Park. See schedules below.
Buses stop just uphill from the Mukilteo Ferry dock, adjacent to Lighthouse Park on Highway 525.
Mukilteo is the state's second busiest ferry terminal, but walk-on passengers never have to wait for the next boat. Use this advantage by taking the bus to the ferry. Vanpools and registered carpools also get loading priority.
Across the water on Whidbey Island, Island Transit provides free transit service from the Clinton Ferry Terminal.
Destination | Bus Route |
to Downtown Seattle (commuter service) | 417 |
to Ash Way Park & Ride | 113 |
to University of Washington | 880 |

Party Season is Here: 10 Tips to Get You Ready
We believe the hours before you leave for the party are half the fun! Treat yourself to a trip to LUSH and you'll be anticipating the getting-ready part as much as the party itself. Here are ten tips to truly luxuriate in the moments of getting ready:
1. To set the mood, turn on your favorite music, indulge in a glass of wine and gather up your favorite preparing-for-a-party products.
2. Run a hot bath and sink in with a Golden Wonder Bath Bomb, complete with subtle shimmer and a celebratory champagne fragrance.
3. While you soak, use a Fresh Face Mask to brighten up your skin. Wash it off after about ten minutes.
4. Since you're living in the lap of luxury already, massage in one of our revitalizing hair masks for supremely soft, tamed tresses. Best to do this towards the end of your soak as you'll want to shower it off after about 20-30minutes.
5. When your toes have turned to prunes, drain the bath and rinse off. Then, lather up with our tequila-infused Ponche shower gel with fresh, organic orange juice to zest up your mood and get you ready to party!
6. Once you're clean, brighten your body with our Sandy Santa sugar and salt scrub. You won't be able to stop rubbing yourself once you get a whiff of the sweet orange oil fragrance. You'll love how it melts into arms and legs as you buff, buff, buff your skin.
7. You'll emerge from the shower feeling fresh-faced and ready to take on the world, but wait! It doesn't end here. Once you've dried off, sprinkle Lustre dusting powder all over your body for sexy, shimmering skin.
8. Spritz our sexy Lust perfume onto the back of your neck so when you toss your hair, the alluring scent of jasmine will fill the air around you.
9. From our Emotional Brilliance color cosmetics collection, pick out the words you want to feel at tonight's party. Is it the liquid gold of Fantasy, the pure black of Independent or the sunset copper of Happiness for the eyes? For the lips, choose between the pinks of Charm and Glamorous, the plum of Confident or the red of Passionate.
10. It's socially appropriate to arrive in clothes, so don't forget to put on your party dress before you head out the door. (However, we won't comment on how you might happen to leave the party.)
Now you're relaxed, looking good, feeling good and you're ready to celebrate! So break it down on the dance floor and have fun. We'll be partying this holiday season too; they don't call us LUSHies for nothing!

Ruck.us Product Update (iOS)
Posted on in Community, General, News, Product Updates
Mobile has been the most rapidly growing piece of technology in the last 5 years. Almost 1/3 of us now get our news primarily on our mobile devices. We want to receive information, and act on it, the second we come in touch with it. We understand this. Over the last few months, we at Ruck.us have been busy working on several huge initiatives that we will be rolling out over the next month. The first is the unveiling of our Ruckus iOS app. Ruck.us iOS 1.0 allows you to do the basic functions you can do through ruck.us: View and search for rucks, answer some of our constantly evolving questions, and get recommendations on where to go for political action. Similar to the site itself, we will continue to to improve upon the app over the course of the next year and keep you current on more up to date versions. We have even bigger news approaching, so stay tuned, and ruck on.

text: PARKING QUICK FACTSMembers: Engage and Inspire Members receive FREE parking after 8:45a.m. Non-members: A nominal $7 daily fee per vehicle is payable upon exit at the north lot at: Guest Relations, Pay-on-foot stations or at the exit (credit card only at exit). At the west parking lot visitors pay for parking at the gate upon entry to the zoo and show their parking receipt or membership card upon exit. Grace Period: There is a 30-minute grace period for drop-offs including LRT Kiss & Ride, Zoo Camps, School Programs and zoo visitors. LRT Parking: 500 of the 1800 total parking spaces in the north lot are designated for LRT commuter use until 8:45 a.m. at a $7 daily parking fee per vehicle. Parking Lot Renovations: Many people have historically assumed incorrectly that the zoos parking lots are public city-operated lots. For more than twenty years, the Calgary Zoo has paid for all maintenance costs from its operating funds including snow removal, repairs and upgrades, landscape maintenance, garbage collection, and security. Zoo visitors have therefore subsidized the use of the parking lots by commuters who have not purchased zoo admission. Now zoo members receive FREE parking after 8:45 a.m. as part of their member benefits and other lot users pay a daily fee for use. |
