Achievements obtained within the European LAPCAT program
General outline
The baseline mission requirement of LAPCAT is to reduce travelling time of long-distance flights, e.g. Brussels to Sydney, in about 2 to 4 hours. This requires a new flight regime with Mach numbers ranging from 4 to 8. At these high speeds, classical turbo-jet engines need to be replaced by advanced airbreathing propulsion concepts and hence related technologies need to be developed.
Key objectives are the definition and evaluation of different propulsion cycles and concepts, enhancement of integrated engine/aircraft performance, mass-efficient turbines and heat exchangers and finally high-pressure & supersonic combustion experiments and modelling.
Though the project is mainly technology driven, operational conditions and constraints are defined by several conceptual vehicle designs of which three are highlighted in our Experiments and modelling webpage which can be seen from the right hand navigation bar.
Conceptual Designs
The LAPCAT A2 vehicle flying at Mach 5 was carried out by Reaction Engines. The vehicle study indicates that a 400ton, 300 passenger vehicle could achieve antipodal range without marginality. The concept is particularly interesting for this mission requirements as a trajectory optimization allowed to fly almost continuously over sea and avoiding sonic boom impact when flying over land. The vehicle relies on pre-cooled turbo-based engines employing a cycle based on the Reaction Engines SABRE spaceplane engine.
B. Kerosene Mach 4.5 Cruiser
A parallel study carried out by DLR-Sart focused on kerosene as a fuel in order to explore the performance of this fuel in preference to hydrogen since its supply infrastructure is well established. In order to keep the wing loading in an acceptable range, the new supersonic cruise airplane has a wing size of 1600m2. The total length reaches 102.78m which is only slightly longer. The LAPCAT-M4 employs a blended wing-body with a modified nose, a highly swept in-board wing panel, and a moderately swept outboard wing panel. The four advanced turbo-RAM-jet Variable Cycle Engines (VCE) are mounted in two nacelles on the wing lower surface adjacent to the fuselage.
C. Hydrogen Mach 8 Cruiser
The vehicle-propulsion integration proved to be a difficult exercise for the higher flight Mach numbers. The aim was to ensure a good aerodynamic performance for both subsonic and hypersonic speeds along with a large volume for hydrogen fuel, an efficient propulsion unit for the acceleration phase with enough thrust and finally, realistic dry and gross take-off weights. An air turbo-rocket is used for the acceleration phase until M=4 while a dual mode ramjet propulsion unit was used for the final acceleration and cruising at Mach 8. This optimization loop resulted into the LAPCAT-MR1 vehicle with a dorsal placement of the propulsion unit, including the large intake ramp and nozzle. The aerodynamic performance was realized by using a blend of a waverider and a delta wing previously developed by DLR-Braunschweig. The aircraft turned out to be a versatile and operationally flexible vehicle. The GTOW was fixed at 600tons which corresponds to the present achievement in classical aircraft, e.g. the Antonov-225 with a 600 to 640tons GTOW and a 170tons of empty mass.

My sweet Shawna,
You have hit it perfectly on the head here, at least for me....FINDING and OBSERVING THE DETAILS then FOCUSING ON THOSE....for me as a writer, it is of the utmost importance to be observant then SKY'S THE LIMIT as to what I can use as a subject for a poem..then I JUST HAVE TO OBSERVE IT AND FOCUS....perhaps for YOU as an artist, it is the same thing....
Find that SUBJECT, the colors..the details...then SWIM OUT TO THE HORIZON and like in my post, we BOTH have to exercise our muscles. We have grand imaginations and dreams...NOW it is time to work and that is not easy, but we can do it!
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO VISIT ME! I am a bit out of sorts with a MAJOR back pain but off to the doctor's office today!!!
MANY THANKS, Anita

Basically what I've got on hand..and well, the shape. I recently finished up a slouchy hat for a friend. Finally, using a more natural brown white tone because it made me think of her. I edged it in brown. Not sure what she'll think.
Very interesting colors.

Well, my only crafts are knitting and baking. In knitting texture is what inspires me. I love super soft wool that just makes you want to touch it. And then of course, colours are exciting too.
In baking, it's how things come together. how certain mixtures and ratios form different kinds of doughs. It's pretty remarkable that just a different ratio of flour can make something a crispy cookie and something else a fluffy cake.

I love that peeling paint! I'm inspired by colors too, and I love me a good overheard conversation. Of course, travel does it for me too. It makes me introspect more than I normally do in my day to day. And by introspect, I guess I mean journal. The blog's great for that, too, though I've been wretched at keeping it up lately. It's this longing missing puzzle piece in my life for nearly 3/4 of every week. haha
Alrighty then. I hope you are doing great and staying cool!

Fuyuki City (冬木市, Fuyuki-shi?) is the setting for Fate/Zero, Fate/stay night, Fate/hollow ataraxia, and Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA. It is separated into two sections by the river Mion that can be considered two towns, Shinto and Miyama City, which are the new and old sections of city respectively. While not based directly on a real city, many of the locations are based on those located in Kobe.[1] The distance between Fuyuki City and Misaki Town is equivalent to the distance of Kantō and Kyushu,[2] with the prologue of Fate/Grand Order confirming that Fuyuki is actually located on the island of Kyushu, somewhere in the Kumamoto Prefecture or the Ōita Prefecture.
Miyama TownEdit
Miyama Town (深山町, Miyama-chō?) is the suburban area of Fuyuki that contains old houses and traditional buildings. It can be split into two main parts, the traditional Japanese houses district and the foreigners' houses district. The road to Homurahara Academy, where the protagonist studies, is set between the two districts.
The intersection road connects to the shopping street, the school, the northern and southern parts of town, and to the bridge.
The Matou and Tohsaka residences are located in the foreigners' district, while Shirou's and the Fujimuras' houses are in the traditional district.
There is a shopping district somewhere in Miyama, apparently pretty close to Shirou's place as he walks to and from there to do his everyday shopping.
Emiya residenceEdit
The Emiya residence (衛宮邸, Emiya-tei?) is the home of Shirou Emiya and Kiritsugu Emiya, located on the northern end (where the Japanese style houses are) of Miyama Town.
It is a large, old building located on the northern end of Miyama, and a Japanese-style building with a classical elegance befitting the area. Even within the old style of Miyama, it is of a rare style, and it can be considered a rare example of architectural history. Though it was large and previously unused, its history made it so it was never torn down even in its degradation and having taken up a large amount of space in an area of civic planning.
It has a very old storehouse built on the edge of the yard, which utilizes a key cast in an ancient style far different from the modern cylindrical kind utilized in the rest of the estate. The door is old and rusty, constantly creaking as it opens. While the rest of the house is unsuited to be a magus' workshop, the storehouse is suitable enough for a makeshift area for magi to work. The house is too open, letting magical energy flow about freely, so the closed nature is suitable as long as a magic circle can be established. Irisviel von Einzbern utilized it in the Fourth Grail War, leaving the Magic Circle that is later used to summon Saber, and Shirou utilizes it for his daily meditation and practice. He stores broken appliances and failures in projection magecraft. He has a special love for it, and often spends time fixing items within.
It was bought for the purpose of being used as the Einzbern headquarters in the Fourth Holy Grail War after the Einzbern Castle was damaged to the point it could no longer be utilized. Its close proximity to the Tohsaka and Matou residences, while dangerous, was thought to be the safest choice due to the unpredictability of the choice. It had been unused for a long period of time, but still showed signs of renovation. The yard was unkempt at the time, and the interior was full of dust. Kiritsugu continued to occupy it with his adopted son after the Holy Grail War, and Shirou, with help from Raiga Fujimura, managed it after his death. The Fujimura group send flowers to the Emiya residence every month.[3] The mansion suited Kiritsugu for having never been glamorous but it feels pretty luxurious for a student in some way. It accommodated Taiga Fujimura's littering habits well, but it seemed that Shirou cleaned up every time and put the junk away in the storehouse.[4]
The Emiya Residence's Barrier (衛宮邸の結界, Emiya-tei no Kekkai?), constructed by Kiritsugu, surrounds the property, warning the residents about individuals with malicious intentions entering its perimeter through a ringing bell on the ceiling. It is very well made, and unlike the one set on the Tohsaka residence, it is possible to feel a human quality from it. It possesses neither offensive nor defensive capabilities, but its detection powers are excellent. It is able to warn of a Servant's frontal assault, but Caster is able to easily disable it and True Assassin can sneak in without trouble.
Tohsaka residenceEdit
The Tohsaka residence (遠坂邸, Tōsaka-tei?) is located on the southern end where the western style houses are. Known throughout the neighborhood for being a haunted house. No, it is not haunted.
It is a two-story mansion that also contains a basement. The mansion is protected by a strong barrier. It has been the home of the Tohsaka family for at least two generations.
In the second Grail War, the evocation site of the Grail was held at Tohsaka mansion. In the fourth Grail War, it was used as Tokiomi Tohsaka's base of operations. His daughter, Rin Tohsaka, also uses it for this purpose during the fifth Grail War.
Matou residenceEdit
The Matou residence (間桐邸, Matō-tei?) is located on the southern end (where the western style houses are) of Miyama Town.
The mansion contains a basement used as a training ground for the magi of the Matou family. However, the basement is actually the breeding ground for Zouken Matou's Crest Worms.
Mackenzie residenceEdit
Homurahara AcademyEdit
Homurahara Academy (穂群原学園, Homurahara Gakuen?) is the local high school. They also have the Homurahara Academy Elementary School Division (穂群原学園小等部?), featured primarily in Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA.
The school features a large archery range for the Archery Club.
During the Fifth Grail War, the school became a preferred location for activating Rider's Blood Fort Andromeda, and thus became the battleground for those who wished to confront Rider.
Faculty Staff:
- Teacher - Taiga Fujimura (Former Student)
- Teacher - Souichirou Kuzuki
Known Students:
- Ayako Mitsuzuri

- Rin Tohsaka
- Sakura Matou
- Shinji Matou
- Shirou Emiya

Mount MiyamaEdit
Mount Miyama (マウント深山, Maunto Miyama?) is the shopping district in Miyama Town.
- Koushuuensaikan Taizan (紅洲宴歳館・泰山, Kōshūensaikan Taizan?) is the only Chinese restaurant in Miyama Town. It is operated by the manager Batsu, renowned for having extremely spicy food. Kotomine frequents the restaurant for mapo tofu.
- Edomaeya - A food stand in Miyama Town. Sells taiyaki for 80 yen each. On the other hand, the stores in Verde have a better selection. Popular among the students.
- Flower Shop - One of the many places where Lancer works.
Riverside parkEdit
Riverside park (海浜公園, Kaihin kōen?) is located by the bridge.
Mount EnzouEdit
Mount Enzou (円蔵山, Enzō-yama?)
Ryuudou TempleEdit
Ryuudou Temple (柳洞寺, Ryūdō-ji?) is a mountain temple on the outskirts of Miyama, like the name suggested it is owned by Ryuudou family and the current head of the temple is led by Issei Ryuudou and Reikan Ryuudou's father.
40 minute dash from Emiya residence. Acts as the keystone of the Fuyuki leylines. Can be said to be the heart of the Fuyuki spiritual grounds. Built on top of a fallen leyline.
As the name suggests, it is the very heart of the city that functions as the keystone of Fuyuki's leylines. It has a mountainside lake that is one of the four possible places for the Holy Grail to manifest. The Greater Grail resides within an enormous cavern beneath the temple, and during the Heaven's Feel scenario, the giant cave-in causes them to take several years to recover. The reason for the collapse was not Angra Mainyu's disappearance, but instead Rin Tohsaka utilizing the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch with no restraint. It can be said Issei was correct in his assumptions about her, truly making him worthy as the Temple's successor for recognizing her as an enemy of Buddhism.[5]
Souichirou Kuzuki was living amongst the monks and the Ryuudou family. In the fifth Grail War, Souichirou rescued Caster and allowed her to stay in the temple. Caster used the temple as her workshop and used the mountain gate to summon Assasssin as the guardian.
Ryuudou Temple's cavernEdit
The massive cavern where the Greater Holy Grail was created. Three kilometers in diameter. Also, the symbol of the contract of Angra Mainyu. The location of the Black Holy Grail. Has properties similar to a bounded barrier.
Shinto (新都?) is the newer district of Fuyuki that is under development east of the Mion River. Around the 1990s, the area was reclaimed from a previously empty wasteland, beginning a large-scale redevelopment project funded by the local government to build a modern business district containing features like a park and shopping mall in front of the train station. The City Hall being was moved from Miyama to give it a more modern structure, and the maintenance of the park and shopping mall were complete. Although the buildings were only forty percent complete at the time, it was constantly crowded during holidays.
The purpose was for it to be a clean and sterile area that would be pompous and contain no individuality, but it suffered a major setback after the Fourth Holy Grail War when the advent and destruction of the Holy Grail caused a conflagration that destroyed 134 buildings and claimed five hundred lives after burning for an entire day. Much of the city was rebuilt over the next ten years, rapidly developing with tall buildings over the destroyed land. Rin Tohsaka believes the rushing left the town looking very artificial.
Center BuildingEdit
Center Building (センタービル, Sentā Biru?) is the highest building in Fuyuki. Four kilometers away from the bridge.
Fuyuki City Hyatt HotelEdit
Fuyuki City Hyatt Hotel (冬木市ハイアットホテル, Fuyuki-shi Haiatto Hoteru?) is the hotel located in the Centerville neighborhood. In the Fourth Grail War, Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi and Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri used the hotel as their headquarters until Kiritsugu destroyed it with explosives. It was later rebuilt, Bazett Fraga McRemitz was staying there before the fifth grail war.
Lancer's (lost) heaven. It is the spot where Lancer fishes during the events of Fate/hollow ataraxia. The heaven becomes "lost" to him when Archer and Gilgamesh begin a fishing competition there.
Kiritsugu used to leave and come back to Fuyuki using the harbor.
Fuyuki StationEdit
One hour walk from the Tohsaka residence. Constructed several years ago.
Semina ApartmentsEdit
Semina Apartments (蝉菜マンション, Semina Manshon?) is an apartment building located in block four of the Kurokizaka district. It is an L-shaped building that contains two apartments per floor, occupying the entire horizontal part of the L and entire vertical part of the L respectively. The entrance to the building is located in the center of it, containing a door leading to an elevator and the emergency stairwell of the building. Room two of the eleventh floor is a four-bedroom residence. Each apartment features a four-meter-long hallway between the living room and the front door, an unusual design without any utility rooms for storage or a bathroom. Each apartment hallway has lights with the exception of room two of the eleventh floor due to a structural flaw allowing for no space for their installation.
The building was the site of a family suicide in room one on the eleventh floor. After a married couple and their three-year-old daughter, called Little Red Riding Hood moved into the apartment, the wife attacked and killed her husband with a knife, slashed her daughter, and then killed herself. It is unknown exactly what happened to the daughter, and the neighbor in room two, Mr. A, disappeared a month later. Both became the subject of rumors and a ghost story told by Ayako Mitsuduri.
Fuyuki ChurchEdit
The Fuyuki Church (冬木教会, Fuyuki Kyōkai?) is located on top of a hill and an one-hour walk from Miyama Town (Emiya residence). It was constructed before World War II. In the second grail war, the evocation site of the Grail was set to be at the Fuyuki Church.
After the fourth grail war, Kirei gathered the orphans left by the fire in the Church under the pretense of using it is an orphanage. Through unknown means, he managed to erase their existence and seal them within the basement of the Church.
The Church is Kirei's primary base of operations during the fifth grail war. It is also where he hides his two servants, Lancer and Gilgamesh. In the Unlimited Blade Works route, Caster takes over the Church. Following Kirei's death and the fifth grail war, Caren Hortensia inherits ownership of the Church.
Foreign CemeteryEdit
The Foreign Cemetery (外人墓地, Gaijin Bochi?) is a graveyard for the foreigners that moved into Fuyuki long ago.
Fuyuki Civic CenterEdit
The Fuyuki Civic Center (冬木市民会館, Fuyuki-shi Tami Kaikan?) is a building formally of Miyama until it was to be moved to Shinto during the 1990s. The location happened to be that of one of the four advent locations of the Holy Grail, and it was destroyed along with much of Shinto in the conflagration at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War. The area was turned into a park, and it is unknown where it was relocated.
The building of the 1990s was in the process of being moved piece by piece to steal all central municipal functions from Miyama. They wished for a modern structure of iron, glass, and mortar to be the physical symbol of the area's development along with the Central Building at the cost of eight billion yen. It was designed by a prestigious architect, creating a design meant to make it as majestic and splendid as an ancient shrine. The building covered an area of 6600 square meters, contained 4700 square meters of usable space, and was designed to house four floors and one basement level. It contained a two-story music hall able accommodate around three thousand patrons. At the time of its destruction, only its exterior was complete. In preparation for the commemoration ceremony, it was to be decorated and still could not be used in a practical manner.
Fuyuki Central ParkEdit
Fuyuki Central Park (冬木中央公園, Fuyuki Chūō Kōen?), formerly part of the residential district and the location of the City Hall, is a park in the center of Shinto. It was the location of the advent of the Holy Grail during the Fourth Holy Grail War. It was the center of the conflagration, and while much of the city was rebuilt, the area of the park was left bare afterward. The location should be popular with children even on weekdays due to its size and organization, but the story behind the area leaves it barren aside from a few people for the most part.
The area is full of grudges, strong negative feelings left over that can be felt by Spirits, and it is on a completely different level compared to any other such area in the city. Archer compares it to a Reality Marble in that sense.
Copenhagen (コペンハーゲン, Kopenhāgen?) is where Shirou works.[6] Run by Neko's father. Liquor shop x pub sort of place.
Fuyuki Central LibraryEdit
Located in the middle of the Fuyuki citizen's park during the 4th war. Shutters ended up getting wrecked by an Iskandar who decided to take the books out.
Verde (ヴェルデ, Verude?) is the biggest shopping center in town.
- Fancy Shop - The name of the biggest stuffed animal store in Shinto.
- Tea shop
Exciting SplashEdit
Exciting Splash (わくわくざぶーん, Wakuwaku Zabūn?) - An indoor swimming pool owned by Gilgamesh. There's a current pool, a wave pool, a big water slide, an unbelievably high diving board, a pool for racing; and on top of that there's all the nameless pools used for other attractions.
Edefelt's Twins MansionsEdit
During the events of Fate/hollow ataraxia, Bazett was staying in one of these mansions throughout the loops. One is located close to the Tohsaka residence, and the other is located close to the Fuyuki Church.
Fuyuki BridgeEdit
Fuyuki Bridge (冬木大橋, Fuyuki Ōhashi?) located at the center of Fuyuki City bridging both Miyami Town and Shinto.
In the fourth grail war, it was the final stage between Archer and Rider.
Mion RiverEdit
The Mion River (未遠川, Mion-gawa?) is the river that divides Fuyuki in half.
Ryuujin MatsuriEdit
A festival celebrating the legend of a traveling monk and the dragon god of Miongawa that rampaged in Fuyuki a long, long, time ago. Used to take place in the fall and the summer, but now is only held in the summer. Using his power (houriki, spiritual power) the monk used incantation and prayer on the dragon god for three days and three nights. At the end of that, he converted the dragon god (more like tricked the simple bloke). The monk joined Ryuudou Temple later and the dragon god taught juudou to the monks over there to pass the time.
None of this probably happened since there have only been a few monks in Ryuudou Temple historically with that sort of power. The festival is not exactly that well-known anymore.
In the fourth Grail war, Ryuunosuke Uryuu and Caster used the sewers as their hideout and workshop. They kidnap children and perform inhuman torture for their art.
Waver Velvet managed to track down Caster's lair by alchemy.
Einzbern CastleEdit
The castle-villa found at the forest in the outskirts of Fuyuki City, it was brought from the Einzbern homeland to serve as a base for the Masters of the family during the Heaven's Feel rituals. At the same time, it is the workshop of Illyasviel von Einzbern. It was build to look like a "コ" when viewed from above. In Fate/zero, Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel von Einzbern, along with the other members of the Einzbern faction (Saber and Maiya Hisau) utilize the castle as their headquarters for at least part of the fourth Heaven's Feel.
Four hours from the entrance of the forest by foot. The castle's defenses are perfect: a spiritual defensive wall activates itself by Illyasviel's order whenever intruders approach. Perfect anti-spiritual processes are also performed so that the spirits inside the Einzbern forest do not enter.
The existence of the castle is not publicly known, but it seems that people who get lost at the forest have found their way into it by chance in the past.
The interior decoration is outrageously luxurious. Although it hasn't been used for over 10 years, there is wine cellar that can be accessed from a passage at left area from the lobby. The courtyard, which is managed by Sella, is the coldest area inside the castle and, as per Illya's desires, it has a flowerbed installed. As this is just a stronghold for the Holy Grail War, it is quite frugal for the Einzbern's standards.
It had to go through large-scale repairs because of the Winchester incident, in which Rin Tohsaka turned the third floor upside down, and even after the repairs which finished in October that floor was still considered dangerous.
Einzbern ForestEdit
The virgin forest, or rather mountain range, found at the outskirts of Fuyuki city.[7] About 30 kilometers to the west of Fuyuki's urban area. It is possible to reach the entrance of the forest after a one-hour run of car in the highway that comes out from Miyamacho and then a one kilometer walk through the grove. One hour drive by taxi from Shinto.
Not only the name in the registration is of unknown substance, but it also became a privately-owned land of an uncertain foreign enterprise. Because the landowners (the Einzbern) refuse to develop the area, it turned into a literal sea of trees. Since the trees extend themselves to cover the sunlight coming from above, it is impossible to see more than 10 meters ahead inside the forest. Amidst all of it, there is a clearing of about 40 meters diameter with a square and some ruins.
Due of a lack of courage to set a stronghold in the middle of the Tohsaka territory, Jubstacheit von Einzbern purchased the closest land to Fuyuki with a leyline at the eve of the Third Holy Grail War. The Einzbern circled the forest with a bounded field to isolate it from the outside world and had one of the castles from the Einzbern homeland dismantled and then rebuild in the middle of it. The Tohsaka house earnestly engaged in negotiations for the concealment of the construction.
The large bounded field stretched throughout the area is to detect intruders and so long as their presence and magical energy are not suppressed they can be easily discovered. The level reaction that the bounded field gives to the intruder can be adjusted accordingly with the thoughts of Illyasviel. Furthermore, once in the inner sections it is possible to adjust the area-of-effect in order to support allied parties in combat.
The subject of many ghost stories, like those about the illusionary castle attended by maid sisters that only a brave man who had overcame countless ordeals can spend the night at, or that when entering the forest while aiming to the castle, the wraiths of soldiers of the old imperial army appear to send off the intruders to the battlefield.

Funtoo Filesystem Hierarchy
I don't even know if we should base our documentation on the FHS, since the FHS has become irrelevant and useless. How's that for a warning? Boom - in your face!
The Funtoo Filesystem Hierarchy is derived from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, and updated to address Funtoo Linux and Gentoo Linux-specific conventions.

Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of this standard under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided also that the title page is labeled as modified including a reference to the original standard, provided that information on retrieving the original standard is included, and provided that the entire resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of a permission notice identical to this one.
Permission is granted to copy and distribute translations of this standard into another language, under the above conditions for modified versions, except that this permission notice may be stated in a translation approved by the copyright holder.
This standard enables:
- Software to predict the location of installed files and directories, and
- Users to predict the location of installed files and directories.
We do this by:
- Specifying guiding principles for each area of the filesystem,
- Specifying the minimum files and directories required,
- Enumerating exceptions to the principles, and
- Enumerating specific cases where there has been historical conflict.
The FHS document is used by:
- Independent software suppliers to create applications which are FHS compliant, and work with distributions which are FHS complaint,
- OS creators to provide systems which are FHS compliant, and
- Users to understand and maintain the FHS compliance of a system.
The FHS document has a limited scope:
- Local placement of local files is a local issue, so FHS does not attempt to usurp system administrators.
- FHS addresses issues where file placements need to be coordinated between multiple parties such as local sites, distributions, applications, documentation, etc.
The Filesystem
This standard assumes that the operating system underlying an FHS-compliant file system supports the same basic security features found in most UNIX filesystems.
It is possible to define two independent distinctions among files: shareable vs. unshareable and variable vs. static. In general, files that differ in either of these respects should be located in different directories. This makes it easy to store files with different usage characteristics on different filesystems.
"Shareable" files are those that can be stored on one host and used on others. "Unshareable" files are those that are not shareable. For example, the files in user home directories are shareable whereas device lock files are not.
"Static" files include binaries, libraries, documentation files and other files that do not change without system administrator intervention. "Variable" files are files that are not static.
Tip Rationale
Shareable files can be stored on one host and used on several others. Typically, however, not all files in the filesystem hierarchy are shareable and so each system has local storage containing at least its unshareable files. It is convenient if all the files a system requires that are stored on a foreign host can be made available by mounting one or a few directories from the foreign host.
Static and variable files should be segregated because static files, unlike variable files, can be stored on read-only media and do not need to be backed up on the same schedule as variable files.
Historical UNIX-like filesystem hierarchies contained both static and variable files under both /usr and /etc. In order to realize the advantages mentioned above, the /var hierarchy was created and all variable files were transferred from /usr to /var. Consequently /usr can now be mounted read-only (if it is a separate filesystem). Variable files have been transferred from /etc to /var over a longer period as technology has permitted.
Here is an example of a FHS-compliant system. (Other FHS-compliant layouts are possible.)
The Root Filesystem
The /usr Hierarchy
The /var Hierarchy
Operating System Specific Annex
This section is for additional requirements and recommendations that only apply to a specific operating system. The material in this section should never conflict with the base standard.
This is the annex for the Linux operating system.
/ : Root directory
On Linux systems, if the kernel is located in /, we recommend using the names vmlinux or vmlinuz, which have been used in recent Linux kernel source packages.
/bin : Essential user command binaries (for use by all users)
Linux systems which require them place these additional files into /bin:
* setserial
/dev : Devices and special files
The following devices must exist under /dev.
All data written to this device is discarded. A read from this device will return an EOF condition.
This device is a source of zeroed out data. All data written to this device is discarded. A read from this device will return as many bytes containing the value zero as was requested.
This device is a synonym for the controlling terminal of a process. Once this device is opened, all reads and writes will behave as if the actual controlling terminal device had been opened.
Tip Rationale
Previous versions of the FHS had stricter requirements for /dev. Other devices may also exist in /dev. Device names may exist as symbolic links to other device nodes located in /dev or subdirectories of /dev. There is no requirement concerning major/minor number values.
/etc : Host-specific system configuration
Linux systems which require them place these additional files into /etc.
/lib64 and /lib32 : 64/32-bit libraries (architecture dependent)
The 64-bit architectures PPC64, s390x, sparc64 and AMD64 must place 64-bit libraries in /lib64, and 32-bit (or 31-bit on s390) libraries in /lib.
The 64-bit architecture IA64 must place 64-bit libraries in /lib.
Tip Rationale
This is a refinement of the general rules for /lib<qual> and /usr/lib<qual>. The architectures PPC64, s390x, sparc64 and AMD64 support support both 32-bit (for s390 more precise 31-bit) and 64-bit programs. Using lib for 32-bit binaries allows existing binaries from the 32-bit systems to work without any changes: such binaries are expected to be numerous. IA-64 uses a different scheme, reflecting the deprecation of 32-bit binaries (and hence libraries) on that architecture.
/proc : Kernel and process information virtual filesystem
The proc filesystem is the de-facto standard Linux method for handling process and system information, rather than /dev/kmem and other similar methods. We strongly encourage this for the storage and retrieval of process information as well as other kernel and memory information.
/sbin : Essential system binaries
Linux systems place these additional files into /sbin.
Second extended filesystem commands (optional):
badblocks o
dumpe2fs o
e2fsck o
mke2fs o
mklost+found o
tune2fs *
Boot-loader map installer (optional):
Optional files for /sbin:
Static binaries:
ldconfig o
sln o
Static ln (sln) and static sync (ssync) are useful when things go wrong. The primary use of sln (to repair incorrect symlinks in /lib after a poorly orchestrated upgrade) is no longer a major concern now that the ldconfig program (usually located in /usr/sbin) exists and can act as a guiding hand in upgrading the dynamic libraries. Static sync is useful in some emergency situations. Note that these need not be statically linked versions of the standard ln and sync, but may be.
The ldconfig binary is optional for /sbin since a site may choose to run ldconfig at boot time, rather than only when upgrading the shared libraries. (It's not clear whether or not it is advantageous to run ldconfig on each boot.) Even so, some people like ldconfig around for the following (all too common) situation:
I've just removed /lib/<file>. 2.
I can't find out the name of the library because ls is dynamically linked, I'm using a shell that doesn't have ls built-in, and I don't know about using "echo *" as a replacement. 3.
I have a static sln, but I don't know what to call the link. *
ctrlaltdel o
So as to cope with the fact that some keyboards come up with such a high repeat rate as to be unusable, kbdrate may be installed in /sbin on some systems.
Since the default action in the kernel for the Ctrl-Alt-Del key combination is an instant hard reboot, it is generally advisable to disable the behavior before mounting the root filesystem in read-write mode. Some init suites are able to disable Ctrl-Alt-Del, but others may require the ctrlaltdel program, which may be installed in /sbin on those systems.
/usr/include : Header files included by C programs
These symbolic links are required if a C or C++ compiler is installed and only for systems not based on glibc.
/usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm-<arch> /usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux
/usr/src : Source code
For systems based on glibc, there are no specific guidelines for this directory. For systems based on Linux libc revisions prior to glibc, the following guidelines and rationale apply:
The only source code that should be placed in a specific location is the Linux kernel source code. It is located in /usr/src/linux.
If a C or C++ compiler is installed, but the complete Linux kernel source code is not installed, then the include files from the kernel source code must be located in these directories:
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-<arch> /usr/src/linux/include/linux
<arch> is the name of the system architecture.
Note Note
/usr/src/linux may be a symbolic link to a kernel source code tree.
Tip Rationale
It is important that the kernel include files be located in /usr/src/linux and not in /usr/include so there are no problems when system administrators upgrade their kernel version for the first time.
/var/spool/cron : cron and at jobs
This directory contains the variable data for the cron and at programs.
Background of the FHS
The process of developing a standard filesystem hierarchy began in August 1993 with an effort to restructure the file and directory structure of Linux. The FSSTND, a filesystem hierarchy standard specific to the Linux operating system, was released on February 14, 1994. Subsequent revisions were released on October 9, 1994 and March 28, 1995.
In early 1995, the goal of developing a more comprehensive version of FSSTND to address not only Linux, but other UNIX-like systems was adopted with the help of members of the BSD development community. As a result, a concerted effort was made to focus on issues that were general to UNIX-like systems. In recognition of this widening of scope, the name of the standard was changed to Filesystem Hierarchy Standard or FHS for short.
Volunteers who have contributed extensively to this standard are listed at the end of this document. This standard represents a consensus view of those and other contributors.
General Guidelines
Here are some of the guidelines that have been used in the development of this standard:
* Solve technical problems while limiting transitional difficulties. * Make the specification reasonably stable. * Gain the approval of distributors, developers, and other decision-makers in relevant development groups and encourage their participation. * Provide a standard that is attractive to the implementors of different UNIX-like systems.
This document specifies a standard filesystem hierarchy for FHS filesystems by specifying the location of files and directories, and the contents of some system files.
This standard has been designed to be used by system integrators, package developers, and system administrators in the construction and maintenance of FHS compliant filesystems. It is primarily intended to be a reference and is not a tutorial on how to manage a conforming filesystem hierarchy.
The FHS grew out of earlier work on FSSTND, a filesystem organization standard for the Linux operating system. It builds on FSSTND to address interoperability issues not just in the Linux community but in a wider arena including 4.4BSD-based operating systems. It incorporates lessons learned in the BSD world and elsewhere about multi-architecture support and the demands of heterogeneous networking.
Although this standard is more comprehensive than previous attempts at filesystem hierarchy standardization, periodic updates may become necessary as requirements change in relation to emerging technology. It is also possible that better solutions to the problems addressed here will be discovered so that our solutions will no longer be the best possible solutions. Supplementary drafts may be released in addition to periodic updates to this document. However, a specific goal is backwards compatibility from one release of this document to the next.
Comments related to this standard are welcome. Any comments or suggestions for changes may be directed to the FHS editor (Daniel Quinlan <firstname.lastname@example.com>) or the FHS mailing list. Typographical or grammatical comments should be directed to the FHS editor.
Before sending mail to the mailing list it is requested that you first contact the FHS editor in order to avoid excessive re-discussion of old topics.
Questions about how to interpret items in this document may occasionally arise. If you have need for a clarification, please contact the FHS editor. Since this standard represents a consensus of many participants, it is important to make certain that any interpretation also represents their collective opinion. For this reason it may not be possible to provide an immediate response unless the inquiry has been the subject of previous discussion.
The developers of the FHS wish to thank the developers, system administrators, and users whose input was essential to this standard. We wish to thank each of the contributors who helped to write, compile, and compose this standard.
The FHS Group also wishes to thank those Linux developers who supported the FSSTND, the predecessor to this standard. If they hadn't demonstrated that the FSSTND was beneficial, the FHS could never have evolved.

In his Letters, Imam Rabbani states that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not be coming in his own time. Two important pieces of evidence are provided to support this.
• One is the condition of Hazrat Mahdi (as) appearing at the beginning of the century.
• The second is that this appearance will coincide with the consecutive fulfillment of the portents revealed by our Prophet (saas).
A statement in Imam Rabbani's 381st Letter:
But this birth IS NOT THAT WHICH WILL APPEAR AT THE COMING OF THE MAHDI. That is because HIS APPEARANCE WILL BE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CENTURY. EIGHTEEN YEARS HAVE CURRENTLY GONE BY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE CENTURY. (Imam Rabbani, Letters of Rabbani, 381th Letter, p. 1184)
• In this extract Imam Rabbani says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear at the beginning of the century (Islamic calendar).
• But in Imam Rabbani's time, none of the portents indicating the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) had taken place, even though 18 years had passed since the start of the century.
This is one of clearest indications that Hazrat Mahdi (as) would not appear at that time. Because when Hazrat Mahdi (as) comes, the portents of the End Times revealed by our Prophet (saas) should have been coming about one after the other since the beginning of the century (Islamic calendar).
• But these portents did not come about either during the first 18 years of the century in which Imam Rabbani was living, not up until the year 1400 (Islamic calendar). With the 1400s, however, these portents began taking place one after the other, like beads falling from a necklace.

I could have just added the bacon and the blue cheese to a salad. I know. I could have made a nice healthy vinaigrette, maybe with some of the Pom juice that is so rapidly disappearing from the fridge, like Kate. But nope. I couldn't do it. I needed something creamy. And fatty. All this being healthy is hard! I really like fried food! And butter! So I caved. I couldn't help it!
If I was going to do something this unhealthy, I was at least going to do it in good company. Like a spinach salad with onion, tomato, and avocado. Maybe a grated carrot, if I remember. Last time I made this it had a grated carrot, this time I forgot. Those healthy vegetables will balance out this monstrosity of a salad dressing...right?
Homemade Mayonnaise
First things first. You can't make a heart-stoppingly good blue cheese and bacon dressing without some good mayo. While good with Hellmann's, this is better with homemade mayo.
Recipe from the Joy of Cooking.
1 egg
1 t dry mustard
1 t salt
1 t garlic powder (optional but delicious)
1 t sugar
1/2 t hot paprika
1/4 c olive oil
1 c vegetable oil
3 T cider vinegar, rice vinegar, lemon juice, or the acidic thing of your choice
Combine egg, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, sugar, hot paprika, and olive oil in the blender. Blend on high until completely combined, then add 1/2 c of the vegetable oil, in a thin stream, while the blender is running. Then add in the vinegar, then the rest of the vegetable oil in the same way as before. Scrape down the sides a few times, blend again, and voila! Delicious homemade mayo.
Creamy blue cheese and bacon dressing
From the Joy of Cooking, with some changes. This makes about 2 c of dressing. You can halve the recipe.
1 c homemade mayonnaise, see above
1/2 c sour cream
2 T lemon juice or vinegar of your choice
3 cloves finely minced garlic
1-2 t Worcestershire sauce (say it with me - wooster sheer)
salt and pepper
1/2 t paprika
1/2-2 t hot sauce (optional)
1 t horseradish
4 oz blue cheese (I use Rosenborg - all their cheeses are gluten-free)
1/4 c crumbled cooked bacon
Combine mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, hot sauce, and horseradish in the blender. Process until smooth, then add the blue cheese (crumble it up with your hands first) and bacon. Blend a bit, leaving some chunks. Keep in the fridge, it should keep for a week or so.

India-United States ties scaled new heights in 2005 when the two sides signed the historic civilian nuclear cooperation pact during Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's visit here and also stepped up their economic dialogue as US President George W Bush entered the second and final term in the office.
The year started off with a visit by President Bush to the Indian embassy here to sign the Condolence Book for tsunami victims and declare that both countries will address the natural calamity in a coordinated fashion. What transpired between January and December in the realm of bilateral ties is something that neither side would have anticipated given the depth and the width of accomplishments.
Clearly, in spite of all those important exchanges, visits and pacts, the only aspect that stands out is the July 18 understanding between Prime Minister Singh and President Bush, especially as it pertains to the civilian nuclear cooperation envisaged between the two countries.
Along with this giant step, that requires changes in US law, comes the full realisation that it is not just a historic moment in bilateral ties but one that is full of challenges and opportunities down the road.
And with the challenges and opportunities are anticipated misgivings, apprehensions and occasional hiccups, none of which are expected to derail the process that has been set in motion.
From the Bush administration's point of view, the civilian nuclear understanding is a 'win-win' for both India and the US. This in spite of constant reminders of the 'separation' of civilian and nuclear facilities, the tightening of export controls and transparency during the process are the critical factors and ones that are not easy.
But the fact is that the US understands -- even if it cannot fully acknowledge -- New Delhi's track record when it comes to proliferation of weapons or technologies. It is one reason why the Republican administration has made it clear publicly that what is being offered to India in the realm of civilian nuclear cooperation is exclusive and that laws that are to be amended are going to be India-specific.
Since July 2005, the Republican administration has been trying to go about drumming up support domestically from a Congress that is miffed at being left out in the first stages.
One of the queries raised is what Washington is going to do if Beijing or Moscow goes about their own ways with 'their' commercial or interested partner. There are real questions if this Bush White House has enough political muscle to get the deal through Congress, given not only its troubles on Capitol Hill on non-India related issues but also if it has strength to take on those who are adamantly opposed to this. And those who have the power of persuading key Congressional leaders.
Quite apart from the civilian nuclear arrangement, the year 2005 also had other notable events and landmarks not just confined to the realm of politics and political issues.
India and the US embarked on some ambitious agenda in the fields of defence, missile defence and civilian air services while generally stepping up the economic dialogue.
The first half of 2005 saw high profile visits by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to New Delhi in March, which was only to be followed by the then external affairs minister K Natwar Singh's visit in April and Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee's trip.
India & US: Emerging Global Partnership
One of the key aspects of Mukherjee's visit was the signing of a 10-year 'defence framework' agreement that spoke of a 'new era' in bilateral ties, including in areas of multilateral operations, expanding two-way defence trade and setting up of the Defence Procurement and Production Group which will be under the aegis of the Defence Policy Group.
Important still in the areas of bilateral cooperation was the meeting of the Joint Working Group on Space in Bangalore where both Washington and New Delhi discussed ways to expand cooperation in civilian space programmes.
The notable things that have taken place in 2005 include the collaboration on the Expansion of Vision Research, the Indo-US Joint Naval Exercises of September and coming into force of the Mutual Legal Treaty of Assistance.
In October, India and the US signed the S and T Cooperation Agreement with a meeting here between Rice and the visiting Minister for Science and Technology Kapil Sibal.

Play Yards: New Safety Rule to Take Effectby CPSC Blogger February 19, 2013 baby infant play yard sleep
Beginning Feb. 28, 2013, manufacturers and importers of infant and toddler play yards are required to test their play yards to ensure that they meet new federal safety standards.
Play yards are framed enclosures with a floor and mesh or fabric side panels. Most can be folded for storage or travel.
Play yards that meet the new safety standard must have:
- Side rails that do not form a sharp V when the product is folded. This prevents a child from strangling in the side rail.
- Stronger corner brackets to prevent sharp-edged cracks and to prevent a side-rail collapse.
- Sturdier mattress attachments to the play yard floor to prevent children from getting trapped or hurt.
The new play yard standard is one of many safety standards that CPSC has passed as part of the Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act, or what we call "Danny's Law." Danny Keysar was killed in Chicago in 1998 when a previously recalled play yard in which he was napping collapsed, suffocating him. This new play yard standard was completed in honor of Danny and his family.
In addition to the play yard safety standard, CPSC has issued mandatory safety standards for cribs, children's bed rails, baby bath seats, baby walkers, infant swings and toddler beds.
CPSC staff is currently working on safety standards for bedside sleepers, hand-held infant carriers, bassinets, and bassinet attachments to play yards and will propose rules this year for strollers, soft infant carriers and infant slings.
If you use a play yard, keep it bare when you put your baby in it. Each year, CPSC receives reports of infant suffocation deaths. Some key causes of these deaths are the placement of pillows and thick quilts in a baby's sleeping space and/or overcrowding in the space. Here's more information on how to put your baby to sleep safely.

Tips for Making Video Viewing an Interactive Event
Planned effectively, the use of multimedia such as videos can enhance student motivation and learning. Providing various prompts prior to watching a video helps students focus their attention and makes viewing more engaging (Richardson 6). Consider the following strategies to change passive viewing into a dynamic event:
Find Out what they Already Know
Have students list what they think they know about the topic addressed in the video. After viewing the video, have them revisit and revise their lists based on what they learned from the video. This can be followed up by small and/or large group discussions.
Focus Their Viewing
Provide students with questions that they can answer as they are viewing the video. Give them a few minutes to review the questions before showing the video. Also, put the questions in an order that matches the video. After answering the questions individually, they can compare their responses in dyads, triads or small groups, which can be followed by a large group discussion.
Small Group Collaborative Viewing
Divide the video into several topics and develop questions specific to each topic. Assign small groups a different topic. After the video, allow the groups five to ten minutes to discuss their topic, compare answers, and come to some consensus. Finally, have each group share their information with the whole class.
Start, Stop, and Predict at Critical Points
Show a video. At critical points, stop the video and have students analyze it and predict what will happen next. Show the next portion and compare their predictions with what really happened.
Similarities and Differences
Divide students into small groups. Have each group make a T-chart and write Similarities on one side and Differences on the other. Then, prior to watching the video, give each group two concepts. After watching the video, have the small groups list on the T-chart how these two concepts were similarly and differently portrayed in the video. Have group representatives present their charts.
Retell the Story
If it is critical that students remember what they watched, consider having them retell the story. After viewing, have one student (volunteer) start to retell the story. Then, have all of the students take turns adding a sentence to the re-tell.

my program crashes when I try to call clEnqueueReadBuffer() to read data from the device. If I comment some lines out of the cl file, the copy process finishs successfully. But there aren't any compile errors in these lines. This seems a bit weird to me, cause I try to catch the error after the function call, but the error code isn't specified in the cl specification.
Any tips for me? Thanks in advance.

Valders Stone & Marble Inc. of Wisconsin, recently decided to switch its production method from drill and blast to diamond wire cutting. The result is a 40% increase in productivity and lower costs for dimension stone specialist. The quarry, located in the small community of Valders, now uses a SpeedCut diamond wire cutting machine, in combination with a SpeedROC D30 down-the-hole drill rig to drill the 89 mm holes for the diamond wire, both supplied by Atlas Copco.
John Schnell, the company's Vice President, Operations, says: "We were shooting 800 feet (244 m) in 450-hole shots. Explosives, drilling and labor for a shot like that is tens of thousands of dollars. Labor is still about the same, but we save on explosives now which accounted for a third to two-thirds of the cost for each shot."
Sawing for savings
In addition to savings on explosives, the quarry has reduced waste by up to 50%. Schnell explains: "We have some of the most desirable limestone in the country, but we also have a lot of seams. Sawing optimizes what we have by preventing excessive fracturing." The smooth cut of the faces also means that there is less stone for the finishing crews to trim.
Operator Chad Marchant says: "Overall, the work is a lot easier on us than before, and of course the saw doesn't make any dust at all since we're running water on the line in the stone."
To begin a cut, a 20 m long horizontal hole is drilled at the base. This hole is then intercepted from above with a vertical hole drilled roughly 6 m deep. The diamond wire is then fed through these holes, separating the back of the block from the rock formation.
At the beginning of the cut, 50 m of wire is threaded through the saw's flywheels and connected to form a loop. Slabs 2.5 m wide are then sliced off the block, with each slab requiring a horizontal hole drilled at the base.
As the saw cuts, Merchant maintains the tension using a remote control to back the machine up on its tracks. When the saw reaches the end of the track, the operator takes a 10 m length of wire out of the loop.
In this way, SpeedCut works at the rate of 11–18 m2 per hour, taking about five hours to cut 92 m2.
The Valders quarry is owned by Eden Stone Company. Eden's Peter Roehrig, Vice President of Sales, says the stone from the Valders pit is a dense ASTM Type III dolomitic limestone and the cut stone weighs 167 pounds (73 kg) per cubic foot.
Valders limestone is in demand for use in buildings and monuments worldwide due to its high weathering characteristics. The compressive strength is typically around 240 MPa
(35 000 psi), up to 10 times stronger than concrete.
The primary market for Valders' stone is the Midwest of the USA. The quarry has also received orders for architectural projects in Japan and Paraguay.
Epiroc operated under the trademark "Atlas Copco" prior to January 1, 2018.

Cytocrome C is maintained within the mitochondria due to the outer membrane and through its attachment to the membrane assisted by cardiolipin. Apotosis occurs when it is released from the membrane due to its dissociation from cardiolipin, followed by the outer mitochondrial membrane becoming more permeable. [3]

Ryan O'Marra
Mississauga Ontario
Eligible for draft:
Trade with Edmonton, 2012
190 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2003-04: Ryan O'Marra was a key member of the gold medal winning Team Ontario in the under 17 tournament where he scored 8 points in 6 games. He was an assistant captain on Team Canada in the August 2004 under 18 championships and scored 5 points in 5 games.
2004-05: O'Marra played in the 2005 CHL Top Prospects game. Did very well in the skating categories in the skills contest. Drafted 15th overall, in 2005 by the New York Islanders.
2005-06: O'Marra scored 77 points in 61 games with Erie in the OHL. Played for Canada st the WJC in Vancouver beating out Kris Chucko for the final roster spot.
2006-07: In his fourth OHL season, O'Marra split his ice-time between Erie and Saginaw; he tallied eight goals and 14 points through 13 games with the Otters, and added another 18 goals and 37 points in 33 games with the Spirit. He also joined up with the Canadian U20 National Team for the second straight year, registering two assists in six games at the WJC (Canada took Gold).
2007-08: After the conclusion of his OHL career, O'Marra moved up to the AHL this season, appearing in31 games (2g+7a) with the Springfield Falcons. He also spent time with the Stockton Thunder, where he potted 11 goals and 20 points in 24 games.
2008-09: In his first full season in the AHL, O'Marra appeared in 62 games with the Springfield Falcons; he tallied a goal and 10 points, career-high AHL totals for the center.
2009-10: O'Marra made his NHL debut, appearing in three games with Edmonton in two November call-ups, and had his first NHL point (an assist) in a game against Vancouver. He was an even plus/minus while averaging 6:37 minutes of ice time in his brief stint with the Oilers. O'Marra scored 12 goals, the most of his three-year AHL career, and had 6 assists with a -19 plus/minus and 59 PMs in 74 games with the Springfield Falcons, who finished last in the Atlantic Division.
2010-11: The 2005 first-round pick saw his most extensive NHL action to-date, skating in 21 games for the Oilers , and spent the bulk of the season with their AHL affiliate in Oklahoma City. O'Marra scored 1 goal with 4 assists and was -2 with 13 PMs in third and fourth line action for the Oilers. O'Marra was a solid, if unspectacular, two-way forward for the Barons. In 53 games he scored 2 goals with 20 assists and was +9 with 49 PMs as the first-year Barons reached the AHL playoffs. O'Marra skated in all six playoff games and had 2 assists with an even plus/minus. O'Marra was re-signed by Edmonton to a one-year contract as a restricted free agent in July 2011.
Talent Analysis
A big, physical center who has focused on developing his defensive game in recent years and looks to have done so successfully. A high pick in his draft year, injuries slowed his development and it's clear now that the offensive ability he showed in junior hasn't translated at the pro level.
He has instead developed his defensive positioning, become a quality faceoff man, and really ramped up his physical play--both laying hits and dropping mitts--reinventing himself as a quintessential bottom six forward.
It's been a rollercoaster ride for O'Marra, from high pick and Canadian World Junior team member, to struggling in the ECHL, the perseverance and willingness to change his game are impressive traits in a young player. As it stands, O'Marra is a good AHL forward who has earned 31 NHL appearances over the last three seasons in Edmonton.
Ryan could very well establish himself as a physical bottom six option at the NHL level who can contribute on the PK as early as next season, but it's unlikely he will ever deliver significant offense at either the AHL or NHL level.
Feb 16, 2012: Traded from Edmonton Oilers to Anaheim Ducks. O'Marra will play in Finland for the 2013-14 season.

Ericsson readies Wi-Fi system optimized for sports stadiums
- 16 October, 2012 15:02
Ericsson has unveiled a Wi-Fi access point and controller for offloading cellular traffic in densely populated areas such as stadiums. Its goal is to allow users to switch seamlessly from the cellular network to a local Wi-Fi network to solve network congestion problems.
The company sees it as a way to give thousands of spectators the bandwidth needed to update their Twitter and Facebook statuses on their phones while they all watch the same game or concert. It could also allow sports fans to see instant action replays on their phones from their stadium seats, or for music fans to upload photos and videos of a concert as it happens.
Stadiums are so densely packed that networks easily get congested, said Sheila Burpee Duncan, Ericsonn's head of Wi-Fi marketing, at the Broadband World Forum in Amsterdam on Tuesday. That's a problem for customers, who are frustrated by the poor service, and for operators, who miss out on potential revenue.
To mitigate those network problems Ericsson has launched the WIC 8000 Wi-Fi controller and the AP 5114 Wi-Fi access point. Combined, they create a local Wi-Fi network that integrates with the mobile network and is optimized for use in stadiums, shopping malls and other densely populated areas, Ericsson said.
The access points can be positioned very close to one another to increase available bandwidth for each user. That poses a problem, though: There are only four non-overlapping 2.4GHz Wi-Fi channels, so access points that are close to each other tend to interfere.
"The interference is a challenge and that is why we use interference mitigation techniques in the software," she said.
As spectators come into the stadium, their data traffic can automatically be switched from their cellular provider to the Wi-Fi network, said Burpee Duncan. "There are a number of different ways you can do it," she said. At the Broadband World Forum Ericsson demonstrated the use of ANDSF (Access Network Discovery and Selection Function), a feature of 3G networks, to invoke an automatic connection to a network, but it could also have used MAC Authentication or Hotspot 2.0, according to Burpee Duncan.
Ericsson's handover technique works with Wi-Fi enabled phones and tablets including the latest iPhones and Samsung smartphones.
Each of the Wi-Fi access points can generate up to 16 different SSIDs, allowing the creation of up to 16 virtual access point networks. "That enables multiple mobile operators on the same Wi-Fi network, but with a connection to their own back office," she said.
Operators in turn can use those connections for roaming and wholesale agreements as well as hosted models, she said.
When a phone hands over to a Wi-Fi access point, Ericsson's controller connects it to the appropriate carrier's core network. There, the operator can choose to deduct data usage on the Wi-Fi network from the subscriber's data plan, or to offer the Wi-Fi service for free, said Burpee Duncan. "That really depends on the subscription."
The controller can handle up to 2,000 access points. "A couple of hundred access points is generally a minimum for a 20,000 seat stadium," she said. Ericsson's network management system can handle up to 100,000 access points in a single instance.
While each access point can in theory handle up to 600Mbps, the stadium "has to have the backhaul network to support it, so the actual bandwidth capability may vary," she said.
The stadium Wi-Fi technology represents Ericsson's first Wi-Fi product launch since it acquired Wi-Fi specialist BelAir Networks in April this year.

Cardium Announces Initial Voting Results And Temporary Adjournment of Annual Meeting To Be Reconvened On June 21, 2013
Jun 06, 2013, 12:43 ET
SAN DIEGO, June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardium Therapeutics (NYSE MKT: CXM) held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders earlier today. The proposals considered at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in the Company's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2013.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20051018/CARDIUMLOGO)
At today's annual meeting, stockholders considered and approved the following matters: (a) the re-election of the Company's Class I Directors, which included Edward W. Gabrielson, M.D. and Lon E. Otremba, each to serve for a three-year term; (b) the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers; (c) establishment of a three-year advisory say on pay frequency; (d) the sale of certain Series A preferred stock; and (e) ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
The Company temporarily adjourned the meeting to allow for additional time for stockholders to vote on two remaining proposals related to a proposed reverse stock split and a charter amendment, which were favored by a majority of shares voted but which also require a majority of all outstanding shares, including unvoted shares. Of the votes that were cast prior to today's meeting, approximately 61% were voted in favor of the reverse stock split and approximately 66% were voted in favor of the increase in the number of authorized shares. However, both proposals also require the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Cardium's common stock, which includes more than 38 million shares that remain unvoted. The adjournment will allow for additional stockholders to vote on these proposals. The annual meeting will reconvene on June 21, 2013 at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time, at the same location.
"We are encouraged by the favorable support that we have received to date from our stockholders who have voted in favor of all of the proposals recommended by the Board of Directors as described in our proxy," stated Christopher J. Reinhard, Chairman and CEO of Cardium. As previously reported, Glass Lewis and ISS, the leading independent proxy and corporate governance advisory firms, have also recommended in favor of all of the proposals, including the stock split and charter amendment, and given the importance of these issues, we want to make sure that all stockholders have sufficient time to vote their preferences. We encourage stockholders who have not yet executed a proxy to do so. This will help save us further solicitation costs on the proposals and ensure that they are represented."
Proposal five gives Cardium's Board of Directors the authority to effect a reverse split of the Company's outstanding common stock. Proposal six provides for an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restate Certificate of Corporation – which amendment would ONLY be entered in the event that Proposal 5 is not approved – and which would allow for the increase in the number of authorized share of common stock of the Company from 200,000,000 to 400,000,000.
During the period of the adjournment, Cardium will continue to solicit proxies from its stockholders with respect to the remaining two proposals. Stockholders who have already voted need not take any action on the proposal, although they may change their vote for the Proposals by executing a new proxy, revoking a previously given proxy as set forth in Cardium's proxy statement, or by calling 888-219-8320.
Cardium's proxy statement and any other materials filed by the Company with the SEC can be obtained free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or from the Company's website at www.cardiumthx.com. Only stockholders who held the Company's common stock as of the record date of April 26, 2013 are eligible to vote.

Yesterday on ESPN radio Milwaukee, Jason Wilde (from WSJ) talked about a hunch that the Pack might look at Scott. I don't think he had any scoop or anything (didn't hear the whole segment), but he kind of mentioned it as the kind of under the radar guy TT might look at. I wouldn't be surprised if we made at least inquiries for Scott and I would love to land a guy like that on this team. I continue to think it would be very helpful to have at least someone on the starting defense with recent 3-4 experience.

Read this on JSOnline.
Poppinga is the 4th LB in the new set-up? Granted, TT prefaces it with that it is "ballpark", but I am surprised. I wonder if BP has compromising pictures of TT or MM that he holds over them to stay in the starting line-up?

Not hard to figure out TT's incentives are set on Net Profit Objectives, not winning football games. The man is an absolute A-Hoile!
DaveK Says:
February 21, 2009 at 10:39 pm |
Ron – I think you are way off base here. The large cap carry over into the season has nothing to do with making sure the Packers make money. It allows him to extend players currently on the team that he deems more valuable then what is available in free agency. Rodgers contract counted like $14 million against the cap last year. Going forward that contract has a very low cap number. You just can't do that if you burn through cap money in March. He could of spent like the 49's last March but he wouldn't have been able to extend Rodgers. Time will tell if that judgment is correct but I don't think it has anything to do with increasing 'net profit'.
TT will have the same choice this year. He'll leave some cap room to extend a key player (possible Jennings or Collins) and he'll spend on FA's if he thinks they will add more to the team (at the right price) then extending guys like Jolly, Pickett, Kampman, Moll, Colledge, Chillar, etc…
