New lower level seating and new head coaches provide an air of excitement for the Univ. of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's and women's basketball programs.
"With two new head basketball coaches in place and a great venue that needs a good facelift, this is the perfect time for a fresh start and to install all new seating in the blue and gold sections (lower level)," said new UTC athletics director David Blackburn.
"The bulk of our fans sit in the lower level seating (3,700 seats) and this re-seating project, which includes 440 padded seats on each side, will be a great face lift to an excellent home court for the Mocs and will provide our fans another good reason to come to the games.
This $1.8 million dollar project is the first major renovation to McKenzie Arena since it opened three decades ago (Dec. 1982) under the original name of UTC Arena.
With a completion date of early September, the arena will showcase new lower level seating for under 4,000 fans in the 10,000-plus seat facility.
UTC Hoops History: The women's varsity program dates back to the early 1960s with games played in the "old gym", Maclellan Gym and now McKenzie Arena.
The men's program has had at least four home courts with the first games played on campus nearly a century ago (fall of 1915).
"Once completed, the new seating will lift the place up and give a better feel for what we want to do for the overall UTC basketball programs as we look at marketing and ticket sales ideas," said Blackburn.

Papal commission on sex abuse wants accountability for priests, bishops
A commission advising Pope Francis on the sexual abuse crisis will recommend that negligent clerics be held accountable regardless of their rank in the Church, Boston's Cardinal Sean O'Malley said on Saturday.
In many cases of abuse, most of which took place decades ago but surfaced in the past 15 years, bishops seeking to protect the Church's reputation moved priests from parish to parish instead of defrocking them or handing them over to police.
The commission, made up of four men and four women from eight countries including an Irish woman who was a victim of abuse, met for the first time since its formation in March, holding talks with the pope and Vatican officials.
"We see ensuring accountability in the Church as especially important," the commission said in a statement.
O'Malley, known as a pioneer for a more open and forceful approach to tackling the scandal since he published a database of Boston clergy accused of sexual abuse of minors online in 2011, said a person's rank in the Church should not be cause for special treatment or protection.
"Our concern is to make sure that there are clear and effective protocols to deal with superiors in the Church who have not fulfilled their obligations to protect children," he told reporters.

Select your Window Guide brand from the list below.
Whether you have manual or power windows, its components are prone to quick wear and tear due to regular use. One of these is the window guide that helps keep the glass in the right place and creates a seal to keep the window closed. Located inside the door frame, this component is not only damaged by constant use, it is also one of the main parts destroyed every time a door gets dented or damaged. Window guides come in varied designs; units that are installed at the front and rear part of the auto tend to have a broad, hexagon shape while those installed in the lower part of the auto possess a circular shape. In case you need to replace your ride's window guide, be sure to check its specs and see if it matches your vehicle. Once you've found the right matched component, you can start replacing the unit by following these simple steps. First, you have to remove the old part using a small screwdriver or a pry bar. Carefully take out the rubber gasket together with the guide and lay the new one into the frame. Tap it and push the areas around the edges to make sure that it is attached securely; start at one corner and work your way around the door. Afterwards, try slowly raising and lowering the windows and make sure that the window pane does not rub against the guide. Finally, try closing the window fully; if it easily fits into the edges, then your car window is good to go.If you need to get a replacement window guide for your vehicle, be sure to get it from Auto Parts Warehouse so you can enjoy a high level of product quality for less.

How to Replace a Window Guide
Are your car windows off-track? If they are, then you need to check the window guides for damages. Though small in size, window guides are very important. Once they get damaged, the car windows won't move up and down, and they won't seal in place. Thus, rocks and other debris will enter your vehicle, and the air conditioning system will be useless because it won't be able to cool your car's cabin. Fortunately, replacing worn window guides is easy. This DIY guide will teach you how can do this simple repair with the help of a few tools and in your own garage.
Difficulty level: Easy
What you'll need:
- Replacement window guide
- Wrench
- Screwdriver
- Trim stick
- Rivet gun
- Rag
Step 1: Open your car's hood. Then, using your wrench, disconnect the negative cable from its terminal.
Step 2: Uninstall the control of your door's window. If you have a manual window, disconnect the control clips behind its crank. In case you have an automatic window, use the trim stick to remove the control switch plate. Once the plate is off, disconnect the window control wiring.
Step 3: Using the screwdriver, loosen all of the window mounting screws. Then, remove all of the inner trim panel's trim bezels.
Step 4: After removing the screws and bezels, use the trim stick to detach the panel off your car's door. Make sure that you'll only use the trim stick along the edges.
Step 5: Once the panel is detached, you'll see the window glass. Remove the glass by loosening the screws that are connecting it and the window guide.
Step 6: Carefully take the window glass out of the door. Put it somewhere safe so it won't break or get scratched.
Step 7: Loosen the mounting bolts of the window guide with your wrench. If the bolts have rivets, you must drill them out using the rivet gun. Once the bolts are safely removed, take the guide through the door's access hole so you can take it out.
Step 8: Attach the new window guide. Make sure that it won't fall by bolting it with your wrench or by riveting it in place with the rivet gun.
Step 9: Put the window glass back in place. Check if it is fully attached to the window guide. Once you're sure, bolt the glass in place.
Step 10: Reinstall the window trim panel, screws, and clips using the screwdriver. Then, reconnect the battery cable with the wrench.
Step 11: Test the replacement window guide by moving the window up and down several times.

worrying about a possible name...
hey ladies! I've been lurking here for a while.....Anyway!
My DH and I have a possible name picked out for our baby girl (due Sept 20!!)......Penelope Rose...... It's the top of a very short list and pretty much the only thing we've fully agreed on thus far. But now we're worried that because what's-her-face Kardashian named her baby Penelope, it's going to skyrocket into popularity and a big reason we liked the name so much was how uncommon it is.
I know it's silly to get worked up over what a celebrity names her baby and nobody in our family is really going to care or even know enough to make that connection. But it kind of makes it harder to commit to this name now.
are we crazy? would you change names or just say to hell with it?

American Express ordered to pay $59.5 million for deceptive practices
- 11:01 am Tuesday, December 24th, 2013 by Charles Elmore
More than 335,000 American Express customers are due refunds of nearly $60 million under an order announced Tuesday.
The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said the practices in question included unfair billing tactics and deceptive marketing with respect to credit card "add-on products" such as payment protection and credit monitoring.
"We first warned companies last year about using deceptive marketing to sell credit card add-on products, and everyone should be on notice of this issue," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray.

The Supreme Court has rejected all the nine writ petitions against the tabling of the Telangana Bill in the Parliament removing every restriction on the central government to pass the bill.
"Today the Supreme Court has rejected all the 9 writ petitions that had been filed against the tabling of the Telangana bill in the Parliament. These petitions were sent by the Andhra Pradesh Government to the legislature," said a lawyer.
"The Court has said that it is not going to entertain any of these writ petitions, and there will be no change of circumstances, as they are premature," he said.
"It has clearly and categorically dismissed them making way for the passage of the Telangana Bill. There is no restriction on the part of the central government to table this bill in the Parliament. In fact it is a prerogative of the central government, as it has got the full power to table any bill in the Parliament without the interference of the judiciary," he added.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh appealed to all sections in Parliament to cooperate with the government in passing important legislations.
"This is probably the last session of the parliament, and, this my sincere appeal to all sections of the House to contribute to creating the feeling and atmosphere thereby this session will go down in history as an historic session," Dr. Singh told media.
"We have important pieces of legislation ready for approval by parliament and I sincerely hope that parliament will create an environment with all sections of the House can work together to pass these bills," he said.
"Well, I think, these are hiccups (Telangana), I hope all sections of the house will have wisdom to set aside prejudices and create an atmosphere conducive to the harmonious working of House," he added.
As many as 39 bills, including the Telangana bill and six anti-corruption legislations, will be taken up during the session.
The session, convened mainly for the passage of the Vote-on-Account and interim Railway Budget, will have 12 sittings between the 5th and the 21st of this month.
Crucial legislations like Communal Violence Bill, Disability Bill, Women's Reservation Bill and other bills passed by one of the two Houses are also listed for passage during the session.

KOBE BRYANT and the 40-MILE BIKE RIDE
Interesting tidbit from an article on the Clippers' Blake Griffin, by ESPN's Ramona Shelburne:
Blake Griffin needs to know if the story is true. Ever since he first heard it last July, he's been obsessed with it.
"The first night we all got into Las Vegas last summer for the USA Basketball camp, I heard Kobe went on some 40-mile bike ride at night through the desert," Griffin says. "Forty miles? At night? You think it's true?"
Before I can answer, Griffin continues:
"When I found out about that bike ride, I was so tempted to ask him if I could go next time."
This is my favorite part about Kobe: you assume this story is true. Forty miles in the desert? You don't even question it.
…in this moment, all Griffin wants to talk about is whether or not Kobe Bryant really got on a bike and rode 40 miles through the desert last July.
"I love that stuff," Griffin says. "I love all those stories."
The story Griffin heard turns out to be true. And it goes something like this: Bryant told his longtime trainer, Tim Grover, that he wanted to add in bike training to his summer conditioning. Grover researched a trail in Las Vegas, rented three bikes — one for Bryant, one for himself and one for Bryant's security guard — and on the night before the first day of practice, they each put on headlamps and headed out to the trail and rode.
"We finished up around 2 a.m." Grover said. "And we were back in the gym working out by 7:30 in the morning."
And that's just it. To Blake Griffin, and most of the NBA, these are just stories.
To Kobe Bryant, that's a Tuesday night.

Anyone had IT Band surgery in the past few years? How was your recovery? Any info is appreciated.
My friend had the surgery done about a year ago and is running great now. As you probably know, most docs won't perform the surgery unless an individual has had IT problems for at least 6 months. As far as recovery time, it depends on the type of surgery being performed and how quickly the person heals. As far as I know, recovery can be anywhere from a week or two to months. By the way, have you tried iontophoresis? It's a process which uses a mild electrical current to push anti-inflammatory medicine to the band. I have heard good things about it. Hope this helps...I wish I could be more definite about the recovery time.
My son had the surgery in late May. He can run, but still has a lot of pain and stiffness (from the surgery-not the IT Band). The surgeon attributes it to scar tissue. Hopefully, this will break up. He is really discouraged- expected to be back full-bore by now. He had 9 months of no improvement doing every possible type of treatment, exercise etc. before the surgery.
I had the surgery done 1.5 years ago, and was able to start running just 10 days after the surgery....I had 4 months of no improvement prior to getting the operation. I am sorry the surgery is not working out for your son.
|Mother Teressa of Bonin'
I've had the release surgery done on both knees over the past two winters, and everything has worked out great. Some advice, be very cautious in how quickly you start running following surgery. The first time I came back too quickly (tried running in two weeks) and it backfired. After surgery I'd suggest two weeks of nothing, a week of very easy cycling on an exercise bike to loosen things up & get the range of motion back, a week of more 'intense' cycling, and VERY easy running on a soft surface after 4 weeks.
|it band veteran
i had the surgery done 3 years ago after almost a year of IT band problems that kept getting worse until i was unable to walk without crutches. it was a last resort after multiple doctors told me i would probably never competatively run again. i'm running great now, but it was a long road to recovery post-op and i dont think i'd get it done again. i had terrible scar tissue problems on my knee and couldnt exercise for 5 months after the surgery. it look aggressive anti-inflammatory treatment including cortisone shots to calm the area down and break up the scar tissue. i still don't know whether i would have just gotten better on my own if i had taken all that time off without the surgery. even after the surgery i am still plagued with IT band problems, though i havent had to take any significant time off. make sure you find a good doctor who has had previous success with the surgery.
IT Veteran- Besides the cortisone shots (son had one last week), what else did you do to deal with the scar tissue? Did you do a regimen of ibupropen or anything? PT?
i would mention that i have seen some solid results from a few weeks of ART therapy after suffering for a couple of months, including one month of absolutely NO activity at all which did not improve my ITBS.
something to look into that might help avoid surgery, which sounds like it can be hit-or-miss.
Make sure you don't have a femural fracture. I had ITBS for about 6 months and wouldn't go away so I finally went to the doctor, and lo and behold, I had a fracture that was incurred from a fall on a trail run. Something to think about.
I hade the surgery in May '06. I spent three weeks or so getting back to walking and regaining flexibility, as well as restrengthening my quad, which had atrophied a lot. I swam and biked through June and started to run in July, gradually building up mileage and intensity. I'm now at around 80-85 a week and have just ran big PRs in the 3k and mile.
I'd recommend getting on rehab as quickly as possible, and make sure the rest of your muscles don't sit around and atrophy.
|Iced Knee
I have not had IT band surgery, but I'm currently undergoing problems with my right IT band, on the outside of my knee. I've been out of commission for 3 weeks now and it only hurts when I try to run. I take ibuprofen 3 times a day, and have a prescribed ibuprofen infused ointment called Ketoprofen that I massage the tendon with 3 times a day. If anyone has any tips or tricks they used to ease the pain and get back running, I would appreciate it.
There have been several good threads on IT Band problems. Do a search. Things to try are ART, the IT strap, the exercises that you can find by doing a search on the web, using a foam roller or nalgene bottle to self-massage and stretch.....
Surgery is after ALL of these things fail for longer than 6 months or so.
My son had this surgery and it took 4 months before he was permitted to do any running. He plays soccer and wants to have the other knee done this summer. The day following surgery was not to bad, his pain was minimal and tolerable after 3 days. If you have this issue, it is worth the short inconvenience of not being able to run. Just make sure your doctor knows what he is doing. Good luck.

(CBS) Both benches cleared Thursday at Comerica Park after Tigers reliever Luke Putkonen threw behind White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez in the top of the sixth inning.
The Tigers were apparently upset after White Sox starter Chris Sale threw up and in at Prince Fielder immediately after Miguel Cabrera hit a solo home run in the fifth inning. While the timing was curious, Sale reacted as if the pitch got away from him.
Ramirez was the second batter Putkonen faced after coming on in relief in the sixth. His fastball went straight behind Ramirez and the shortstop immediately reacted by pointing at the pitcher and walking toward him. Tigers catcher Brayan Pena restrained Ramirez and both benches and bullpens cleared without a punch being thrown.
Putkonen and Tigers manager Jim Leyland were tossed from the game and warnings were issued to both teams.
In 2000, the White Sox and Tigers got into a memorable brawl at U.S. Cellular Field. Just for fun, video of that brawl can be seen here (fast forward to the 1:17 mark):

What NAS system to buy ?
Hi all, as the title suggests im in the market for a new NAS drive and not sure what to go for
I have a couple networked computers at my office and am interested in a backup system for them for system images etc but mainly for backing up invoices and business stuff as one machine is purely for accounts/banking so large capacity is not really required.
Also i would like to be able to access the drive from home because im getting fed having to go to the office over the weekeend to print a document or some other menial task.
Im thinking a twin drive raid unit would be good for data redundancy but not critical as the info would also be on the pc as well
Have looked around a bit and found some reasonably priced units
Buffalo Linkstation Duo
Buffalo Linkstation Mini (2.5" drives)
Would value anybodys input on these units or alternatives anyones had experience with
Also i have a couple of samsung spinpoint F1 1TB drives that are spareish at the moment so could possibly buy an enclosure and put these drives in it but am not sure if there are any pros/cons of doing this other than £££s
All input greatfully received
|My System Specs

I don't love the concept of having the backup and the source files in the same location. What type of storage capacity are you talking? Could you create an encrypted container on a remote cloud based site and store the backup files there?
|My System Specs
|12 Jun 2012
Hi thanks for your reply
Nothing major in size for financial backups but a few GBs for system images of two PCs, one of the two 1TB drives i have is in one of the machines being used for backups at the moment but could have it in the NAS backing up that way with redundancy, also if i do set up a NAS i would probably end up backing up some personal stuff (photos etc) on there as well
|My System Specs
|12 Jun 2012
You might consider an external USB or eSATA drive. Bring it onsite regularly, run a script to backup the data (robocopy possibly) and then keep the drive offsite.
Anytime a backup is being discussed, I cringe if it's not offiste. If the building burns to the ground, or is robbed, you don't want to lose both the source and the backup at the exact same time.
|My System Specs
|12 Jun 2012
Yes i can see your point and agree entirely, i have suffered data loss in the past
I do backup to external drive regularly that lives off site but because of the software we use (sage) i can only work off of current software and as im not in office everyday i cant take backups often enough to hold current data/balances so i dont think it totally applies to me, the net connection on the NAS will allow me to backup financials at home as they are relatively small, for fire or theft if i lose the machines i dont care about the system backups as i wouldnt need them anymore and all personal stuff would also be at home.
So im thinking a NAS is a good way forward for me as a big part of it is being able to connect to the office from home without leaving computers running 24/7.

Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
Do you live in apart of the country with frequent natural disasters? A crime ridden part of the city/town?
Those are actually Macro issues, not Micro issues
To the OP -
I use Windows Home Server 2011 on a out of lease Dell GX-320. Its idle most of the time so power consumption isn't a big issue but its in the 70-90w range. For the cost of that ($50), WHS 2011 software ($50), Upgraded to 2GB of DDR2 ($30) and a 2TB "Green" drive ($60AR), I spent about what it cost to get an empty case like a Synology and have way more functionality.
I personally like Western Digital My Book Live. A 1TB version goes for $130 on Amazon. All the NAS functions without the cost.... Good support network for the WD as well.
IMHO, spending more for a few files you can put into dropbox and get later or store in MS Skydrive, Mozy, Crash Plan or any of those might be a better solution.

There will be some new faces in the starting lineup for the Ohio State Buckeyes this upcoming season, and while we don't know what they will ultimately amount to on the field, it's always fun to predict how they will fare, and that's exactly what Sean Merriman did recently with defensive back Vonn Bell and running back Ezekiel Elliott.
Recently, Merriman made up a list of new starters in the Big Ten that are poised to have breakout seasons in their new roles. On that list, he included Bell and Elliott.
Here's what he had to say on each.
On Bell:
Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State: The Buckeyes are expected to have one of the top defenses in the Big Ten in 2014, but replacing three starters in the secondary is no easy task. Enter Bell, who was a huge recruit and actually saw plenty of action last season as a true freshman. Now, Urban Meyer and the OSU coaching staff will look for Bell to be a leader of this secondary.
On Elliott, taking over for Carlos Hyde:
Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State: With Carlos Hyde off to the NFL, Elliott looks like the leading candidate to take over the Buckeyes' starting running back spot. This 6-0, 210 pound back is built like Hyde and runs with the same smash-mouth demeanor. This is a guy who averaged 8.7 yards per carry last season in a backup role. We know Ohio State loves to run the rock, as it led the nation with 6.8 yards per tote in 2013. Look for the Buckeyes to do much the same this season, with Elliott leading the way.
We still don't know how each will fare yet, but it'll be fun to watch these two grow this season.

Embraer Delivers 300th Phenom
Embraer recently delivered its 300th Phenom jet, some three years after the first Phenom 100 was handed over. Appropriately enough, the milestone aircraft was a Phenom 300. To date, half of the Phenoms delivered have been taken by North American customers, with Latin American operators accounting for another 30 percent; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), 17 percent; and Asia, 3 percent. The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer delivered 98 Phenoms in 2009, 126 in 2010 and 83 last year.

Second annual Red Cross blood drive at Wright County Home & Garden Show
North Central
BUFFALO, Minn. — Wright County residents will have the opportunity to roll up their sleeve and donate blood at the Wright County Home & Garden Show at the Buffalo Civic Center on Saturday, April 5. Nick and Molly Mortenson, owners of NMC Exteriors, are sponsoring an American Red Cross blood drive and encouraging the community to donate blood at the annual spring expo.
The Mortensons know all too well the importance of having an adequate blood supply available for patients. Three years ago, their twins were born at 28 weeks gestation at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital. Savannah and Sawyer weighed just 2 pounds 10 ounces and 3 pounds 1 ounce, respectively. Because of seriously low red blood cell counts and other conditions brought on by their prematurity, the twins were hospitalized for more than eight weeks, each requiring blood transfusions to help save their lives.
"We decided to coordinate a blood drive to help ensure that blood is available for other families who are in need," said Molly Mortenson, mother of the twins. "We are so grateful to the people who donated blood when our children needed it and want to encourage others to do the same." Their little bodies were shutting down, they were so lethargic, and as soon as they had a blood transfusion it was like a miracle before our very eyes! They are both living proof that blood helps save lives."
Wright County Home & Garden Show Blood Drive:
Saturday, April 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Buffalo Civic Center, 1306 County Road 134, Buffalo
The Mortensons are also founding members of United Association of Storm Restoration Contractors Foundation (UASRC), a national, non-profit organization that provides community outreach opportunities to help communities rebuild after storms.
"We have a passion both personally and professionally for helping others in need and we want to give back in a meaningful way," said Molly. "In addition to sponsoring the Red Cross blood drive, NMC Exteriors will donate $10 to the U of M Amplatz Children's Hospital on behalf of each presenting blood donor."
Today, the twins are doing well and the Mortensons have a third little girl.
"It was the blood on the shelves that helped save our twin's lives so we hope that the community will help us support the constant need for blood," said Molly. "We are proud to say that this is our second year sponsoring the blood drive and donation to Amplatz and we are dedicated to sponsoring the event every year!"
Donations collected at the blood drive may be used for trauma victims – due to accidents and burns – heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, premature babies, patients with complications during childbirth, and for patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or other diseases, such as sickle cell disease. All blood types are needed to ensure an adequate blood supply.
How to donate blood
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
About the American Red Cross
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

What should a first time home computer/laptop buyer look for when they get serious about buying one, please? Thank you!
The key is "First Time". Go cheap and then use the computer for a few months figuring out what you wish you had. Then your second computer will be the wise investment.
It's not a Q with a simple answer, depends on your budget and needs. Value for money wise and overall quality wise with desktops it's generally better to get something built to order via an independent computer co. Though another consideration especially if you're not too tech savvy is "Do I want to go Mac" I've worked in the industry since 1997 and it's a recommendation I make to a lot of people even though it costs me business. The reason being the average non techy person running Windows usually ends up with a system loaded with adware and malware within 6 months of starting with a clean slate and the computer runs like an absolute pig until its all been cleaned out. Given that 99.9% of those nasties run on Windows the average Mac user never sees any problems with their operating system and everything runs just as quick 2 years down the line as the day the system was bought, the things usually only need service when hardware fails. The other good thing is Apple are generally very decent with their after sales service which helps a lot for non technical people, some OEM's can be an absolute nightmare to deal with at times (HP I'm looking at you). Downside is Apple do charge a bit of an excessive premium for their hardware, but it's good quality and they look after their customers better than most. If you were the average joe looking to go this route I'd suggest grabbing a Mac Mini (grab an Apple wireless keyboard as well if you go this route they're sweet, the mice though you can get whatever wireless or bluetooth mouse that takes your fancy (bluetooth will connect to the mac direct and wont need a usb port for a dongle), get your monitor elsewhere (Samsung make nice ones, look for one that can do full hd 1920x1080 I'd suggest 24" minimium as a good size for value for money and ease on the eyes). If you're looking at a lappy and want to go the Windows route I'd suggest Lenovo's G570 range as pick of the litter at the moment when it comes to value for money, while they don't excel in any one category they're at least decent in every category (build qual, battery life, running temp, overall hardware specs, speaker quality, screen quality etc.) , they give you a lot for your dollar and don't have any niggling flaws and Lenovo is one of the better OEM's to deal with if you have issues, Sony and Toshiba are also pretty reasonable, though with Sony you'll pay a premium. If you want to go the custom desktop route drop me a message I can bang together some specs you can take to a few stores for something that'll be good value.
get a off the shelf unit at walmart.
hey less than 400 for everything. unless you wanna run game with tons of grafix. its all you need. i build my own foor home use but thats me.
Avoid crap stuff - which would be anything Made in China.

Which means you either going to shelve out $2,500+ for Sony Z-line, or end up with crap.

Now if you're ok with made in china crap - then it comes in different colors and shapes, but smell would be the same.

How to improve your team's morale
Many times in business, much like in life, a person's perspective determines one's morale or attitude more so than any actual situation does. Many companies will make statements such as, "the morale of the team is down because of recent company changes, cuts in benefits and employee layoffs." These issues are real and the impact it has on people is real as well. Let's not diminish real emotions tied to these issues that cause morale to be low. However, to improve morale is to change the team's perspective versus looking for a golden answer. An organization can spend all their time focusing on these changes and continue to experience negative emotions, or they can choose to change the perspective of their people. Which do you think is more productive and advantageous?
In some situations a company may hire a motivational speaker to speak to their group about a tragedy and as a result, the audience gets motivated and is eager to make the best of their personal situation. Why is that? What happened was a change of perspective.
When a leader is faced with low employee morale, their job is to hold their team members accountable by teaching the team members to be grateful before they can be successful and happy even if they are not necessarily content.
A person must be grateful before they can be successful
Everybody can be grateful for what they have, but more often than not we forget to think about the good. In one room a young couple is disappointed when they find out they are having a baby girl instead of a baby boy, where just across the street there is a young couple grateful for the 6 hours they have with their newborn baby before she passes away. In the business world it is no different. In Dallas, a gentleman is upset and feels like he is not treated fairly because due to company financial struggles, they remove company cars and increase the current work loads to make up for those that were laid off. In the same city, a man and woman need to figure out where they are going to live because they just had to close their small business, file bankruptcy and can't pay their bills. It is all about perspective. Smart parents around the world tell their children to be grateful for what they have, because there is someone out there that has it a lot worse (and by the way-those "someone's" usually have a better perspective than others).
It does not do any good to sympathize with employees when they are complaining about workload or removal of benefits and even pay cuts. In fact, the bad morale is created when leaders and workers start to sympathize with each other on the struggles or unfairness of the job. The intent of these leaders is to show compassion and empathy for their team members and therefore hopefully help them turn around their morale, but instead they end up confirming why the morale should be bad. To improve morale the leader must change the team member's perspective. This is not a cold or insensitive approach, it is an empathetic approach that says the feelings the person is feeling are real, but may not be necessary, helpful or have a purpose. The leader's job is to give the team member's hope and understanding, not sympathy.
When a team complains about work load increase due to others being laid off or people leaving the company, the leader should discuss how the individual now has the opportunity to step up even more than before and challenge them to own the job…not in a cheesy, "you can do it" cheer, but in a real tone, that says this is what it will take from the team; and each person has to decide if they are committed and willing.
Difficult times do not cause bad morale the lack of gratefulness does. Leaders need to take a look at their team and their situation and know they are the only ones who can change it. Morale is a result of the actions or lack of actions of the leader and the team. By taking this positive attitude on, the individuals win, the company can win again, which will come right back to the individuals in the long run. Every decision is a choice. One can stay and complain and be miserable, one can leave and hope for something better, or one can truly change their perspective, be grateful and move forward with a purpose.
Stop searching for happiness. It is not a destination: rather it is a state of being
A leader once said that if your goal is to be happy then you will never be happy. People say it all the time, "My goal is to be happy." What are they really saying? Are they not happy now or is their goal to stay happy? There is the old saying "money can't buy you happiness" and everybody has heard the ending, "yes, but it can buy the things that make a person happy." Deep down everybody truly wants to be happy however, people are not happy because they are successful-they are successful because they are happy.
A great leader must insist on all team members being happy, and if anybody is not happy they should find a new place to work or hang out. Keep in mind that being happy does not mean being content. Life and business is game of competition with oneself. As people and as business leaders, one must always strive to be better and improve. When people stop trying to improve or learn they become bored and content (and actually unhappy). Contentment is a major contributor to morale. Contentment is like quick sand; anybody can fall in it and it will continue to pull a person down until they are gone or until a leader challenges them and pulls them out.
If an organization is having a morale issue, look at the happiness and contentment of the team. Just remember contentment is like bad breath; sometimes we can't smell our own bad breath and we need someone to tell us, so we can change it. Get in a happy state of being and challenge yourself and your team to never be content.

Yes, happiness is not a goal, as in "I am going to be happy." Aristotle said it back in the 4th century B.C.E. What we do, we do for the sake of something else, that gains something else, and ultimately we are happy. But happiness is the by product of living excellently, which meant virtuously. That is human excellence and to be striving for excellence produces happiness.

The family that George Zimmerman rescued from an overturned SUV in Florida last week is white ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ.
According to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, the two adults who were pulled out of their overturned SUV on July 17 were described as a white male and a white female.
The report states that the SUV was traveling toward an off-ramp on State Road 417 when the driver lost control ... causing the vehicle to "go off road and roll over."
As we previously reported, two men responded to the accident and helped pull the family to safety -- one of the rescuers was George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
Officials say there were 4 passengers inside the SUV at the time of the wreck -- 2 parents and 2 children.
TMZ has also obtained the 911 calls placed by witnesses moments after the crash, detailing the accident. Take a listen.
Why do you have to be trouble makers TMZ?
jeeezus harv how idiotic
They are white SO WHAT?? You TMZ guys are so stupid!! Anything to get views... F***ING VULTURES!!!
Is it wrong to save WHITE PEOPLE ??? I don't get this article from your just out of high school Summer staff....
PR setup. The End
He didn't witness the accident, one wonders if he now has a police scanner and a gun.... he can clean up Florida....
did he violate their civil rights when he rescued them? if so, he should be arrested, tried and acquitted to the FULLEST extent of the law!
I want to see how long it takes Harvey to wave the greenbacks at the family to get them on TMZ and gush all about Georgie boy. You all know damn well he's going to do it too because he just loves stirring up the pot. After he gets the family, he'll find the other guy and before you know it we'll get a visit by ole Georgie boy himself on skype. Harvey, I had a lady last week save a gent that was smoked on a Motorcycle, she was first on the scene, she took the man's belt off and made a tourniquet for his upper leg since the bottom half was missing. She stayed with him and talked to him and covered him to help him from going into shock. Will you be covering her in the next few days????
who cares?
Just so you all know I am old.....I don't see things the way my son does which freaking amazes me. I see color there I said it no lies. My son see's a "friend" no color involved I think as much as we discount the future generation because of a few bad apples we r on the right page.
Now Al Sharpton will say he kills blacks and saves white. Wish Al would get lost in the Bermuda Triangle; for good.
Hey TMZ, you dropped the ball with this one. Way to feed into racism in 2013. Go **** yourselves.
Okay, I'm officially totally done with TMZ. It this isn't trying to start trouble I don't know what is. Harvey, you and your team have stooped to a new low. What does it matter if the crash victims were white? What are you suggesting?
I just keep, LMFAO, each time I read, "The Family that George Zimmerman rescued last week". You've know worded it to make it sound like he did the rescue all by himself. How long before TMZ posts the pictures of the overturned SUV?

Xilinx log window should use a fixed-width font.
Which of these two string indicators with identical content is easier to read?
We need a way to simply reinterpret the bits in our FPGAs. I currently have a situation where I need to change my SGL values into U32 for the sake of sending data up to the host. Currently, the only way is to make an IP node. That is just silly. We should be able to use the Type Cast simply for the purpose of reinterpreting the bits.
How amazing yould it be to have the ability to visualise resource usage on a FPGA target using a similar view to that shown above (courtesy of Windirstat)
I only recently shaved a significant portion off my FPGA usage by finding out that I had a massively oversized FIFO in my code for almost a year without noticing. I feel that this kind of visualisation (with mouse over showing what is actually occupying the space) with differentiation between Registers, LUTs, BRAM, DSPs and so on would greatly aid those of us trying to squeeze as much as possible out of our FPGA designs.
I think providing this information based on the "estimated resource utilisation" i.e. before Xilinx optimises stuff away would be OK. I'm not sure if the final resource utilisation can be mapped as accurately in this way.
It would also be nice to see CLIP utilisation and NI-internal utilisation at a glance as this is apparently hugely different between targets.
I've searched but can't see anything similar - please add a method for setting the timeout for FPGA nodes. This includes the 'Open FPGA reference' and FPGA IO nodes.
If you disconnect a cRIO FPGA (e.g. NI 9148) from the network, it takes 20-30s for the IO node or Open FPGA reference to execute. This is really bad for the user experience as if they try to exit their application in this time it may take half a minute for the application to exit. It also means you may have to wait that length of time to realise that your FPGA has disconnected under most use cases (you can obviously have an external watchdog loop to check that the node is executing in a timely manner)
Please allow me to configure the timeouts for these nodes similar to the TCP/UDP or VISA nodes. They are very similar in how they operate to the FPGA nodes (i.e. a hardware device driver which is susceptible to disconnects!) so I don't understand why these have been omitted.
I wouldn't mind having to set the timeout as part of opening the FPGA reference and then internally have it use the same timeout for other IO nodes as follows:
Hello all.
It is time-consuming that we have to compile all LabVIEW FPGA code even if there is tiny little change on FPGA code.
I understand there is sampling probe, Desktop execution node and simulation tools to reduce such time.
Our customer in Japan, would like to use incremental compile function also on LabVIEW.(Please see below)
I agree his opinion.
What do you think?
Eisuke Ono
Application Engineer at National Instruments Japan.
User Lorn has found a brilliant tip for *DRASTICALLY* speeding up FPGA compile times under Windows for PCs with the turbo boost feature. What's more, it's extremely simple to implement.
Please let's see this in future versions of LabVIEW as standard.
Vision is available under LabVIEW 64 bit and this makes sense since vision can generate very large amounts of data. I think now is the time to bring FPGA over to LabVIEW 64 bit as well. With FPGA systems you can also generate very large data sets. Also with cards like the PCIE 1473R, you have a VISION requiring card that generates lots of data, but it requires FPGA, so you can only use it in LabVIEW 32 bit. This is not a good thing. It has been 5 years since LabVIEW 64 bit has been released it is time to finish moving the addons over to 64 bit.
The LabVIEW FPGA module has supported static dispatch of LabVIEW Class types since 2009. This essentially means all class wires must be analyzable and statically determinable at compile-time to a single type of class. However, this class can be a derived class of the original wire type which means, for instance, invoking a dynamic dispatch method can be supported since the compiler knows exactly which function will always be called.
This is not sufficient for many applications. Implementations that require message passing or other more event oriented programming models tend to use enums and flattened bit vectors to pass different pieces of data around on the same wire. All of this packing and unpacking can automatically be handled by the compiler if we can use run-time dynamic dispatch to describe the application.
We call for the LabVIEW FPGA module to add support for true run-time dynamic dispatch to take care of this tedious, annoying, and down-right boring job of figuring out how to pack and unpack bits everywhere. Whose with me?
When accessing a FPGA control / indicator from the HOST, a ~property node is used, and the developer has to pick the right control / indicator from a list
When there's lots of items on the list, it can be a pain to scan the list for the right one.
At the moment they are listed in order they were created on the FPGA.
Could they instead be listed in alphabetical order? Or give the developer the choice?
A smaller (and cheaper) sbRIO based on the Xilinx Zynq chip. Target size is SO-DIMM form factor (68 x 30 mm (half the area of a credit card), 200 pins). Such a board would be OEM friendly and can be plugged into a product (rather than the current sbRIO offerings that requires the product to be developed around the sbRIO rather than the sbRIO fitting into your product). Also, a Base Board that is (only) used during development. Below is what the proposed sbRIO and Base Board would roughly look like (courtesy of Enclustra FPGA Solutions)
While attempting to debug NI1483 issues, I found it necessary to make modifications to the NI1483 CLIP. In LabView 2014 and earlier, it's not possible to maintain your own IO Module CLIP directory. One must maintain all IO Modules within the IO module search path (<National Instruments>\Shared\FlexRIO\IO Modules folder ). This can be done by copying an existing IO module to a new path within the <National Instruments>\Shared\FlexRIO\IO Modules folder, then editing the *.tbc file to rename the "model" key. The main issues with this approach are the potential lack of administrator permissions and the difficulty of maintaining source control in a non-project related system directory.
The suggestion is thus:
1. Give the user an option to select the path of the IO module under the IO module Properties General Category (When Enable IO Module is selected).
That's it!
You can add the modified CLIP in the FPGA target properties like you would a user-defined CLIP. When you configure the IO module, the modified CLIP will show up along with the rest of the CLIPs.
Many data streams contain information for multiple channels or multiple samples. Today one must pack this data into larger integer types or interleave the data manually into multiple writes to the DMA FIFO API. It would be much simpler if the DMA natively support cluster and array data types. The local FIFO, Memory, and Register APIs already support this; extend it to DMA.
I have recently started placing wire labels in my code to keep track of datatypes of wires flowing around my code. This is very useful to understand what is going on on the FPGA since not all grey wires (FXP) are equal and slight mismatches can mean big trouble in the code.
As such I tend to label wires like "Phase FXP+25,0" and so on.
What I'd love to be able to do is to place a formatter in a Wire Label to be able to keep such labels up to date because at the moment it's probably more error prone than anything else due to some wires and labels not being synced any more due to code changes or bugfixes.
If I can set a wire label to "Phase %s" or similar to place the ACTUAL datatype in the label this would be amazing.
Currently when you build a VI the bit file path is stored as relative (you can see it in the project XML). This means if you change the project location either:
You have to recompile the FPGA to use VI mode or run interactively. It seems the bitfile could be stored as a relative path like all VIs in the projects.
Hi there,
I got following feedback from a LV FPGA user:
When developing a FPGA application in LabVIEW, after submiting a FPGA code compilation - usually quite a lengthy process - if you modify the code either on the Front Panel or Block Diagram while compiling is in progress, this results in a Compilation Error at the end.
And this occurs regardless the modification be only a mere cosmetic change, without any implication in the code that is being compiled.
This is quite frustrating when you realize that the compilation has failed (maybe after half an hour waiting) just because you unconsciously clicked and resized some control or node.
In such a situation, when LabVIEW detects a code change while the FPGA compilation is running, it should warn the user with a message box; if the user confirms the code change, the current compilation can be inmediately aborted or let it continue (at user option); on the other hand, if the user cancels the modification, nothing happens and the compilation continues to a successful (hopefully) end.
When you are using same code on different boards, it would be a big help if you could set the "FPGA VI Reference" indicator as "Adapt to source". When I use dirrerent DMA on different target, then the wire break every time I change target:
My FGV for the FPGA reference looks like:
For debugging, using FPGA VIs in interactive mode can be very valuable. I have, to this day, not been able to find out how LV determines if a bitfile and a VI match.
Therefore whenever I click on the run button for a VI, I'm never quite sure if the bitfile will match or not and often have to wait 1-5 minutes before I can resume working with LabVIEW. This is a very high price to pay for something which I end up cancelling. I would like very much if the IDE would TELL ME that the bitfile and VI don't match before starting a new compilation and thus wasting my time.
This is opposed to a CTRL_Click of the run arrow which explicitly tells the IDE to compile.
The FPGA compilation results should be copied to a file in the folder with the bitfile. This is needed to track the history of compilation results, especially useful when using source code control. Right now they get overwritten with each recompile.
Adding a Post-build action VI to the FPGA build spec, would also enable something like this.
I just manually transferred a fairly large LabVIEW FPGA project from one target to another (7965R to 7966R). It would be nice to be able to click on the RIO target in the project and have an option to "Migrate to New FPGA Target" in the context menu. The menu would open a new dialog where you could select the new RIO target and then it is automatically added to the project and populated the VIs, FIFOs, derived clocks, memory blocks, etc. from the original target. The user can choose whether or not to delete the original RIO target.
This would also make it very easy for users to transfer sample code from the LabVIEW Example Finder to the correct FPGA target (insead of having the folder labeled "Move These Files").
Idea: New NI FPGA module with:
Something like Papilio Pro.
Reason: As ATE manufacture sometimes we need small FPGA to do something inside ATE or ITA (interface test adaptor). To use sbRIO/myRIO is to big (complexity,price). Because we use TestStand and LabVIEW out knowledge of VHDL is small.
We could learn VHDL but after that we could stop to use LabVIEW FPGA! :-)
