New Law Review Article: The NCAA's 'Death Penalty' Sanction -- Reasonable Self-Governance or an Illegal Group Boycott In Disguise?
Just in advance of the NCAA's upcoming antitrust trial, I am delighted to share my newest law review article entitled "
The NCAA's 'Death Penalty' Sanction -- Reasonable Self-Governance or an Illegal Group Boycott in Disguise
The article examines why the NCAA "death penalty," although arguably benevolent in its intent, undermines the core principles of federal antitrust law. Part I of this Article discusses the history of college athletics, the NCAA, and the "death penalty" sanction. Part II provides an introduction to section 1 of the Sherman Act and its application to the conduct of both private trade associations and the NCAA. Part III explains why a future challenge to the NCAA "death penalty" could logically lead to a court's conclusion that the "death penalty" violates section 1 of the Sherman Act. Finally, Part IV explains why Congress should not legislate a special antitrust exemption to insulate the NCAA "death penalty" from antitrust law's jurisdiction.
This article will be published in the Spring 2014 edition of
Lewis & Clark Law Review

BLACK ON BLACK MURDER AND THE STIGMA OF SNITCHINGby Earl Ofari Hutchinson |
(PNS) -- A few days after veteran black reporter and editor Chauncey Bailey was gunned down on the streets of Oakland, California, City Councilmember Desley Brooks made a heartfelt and impassioned plea for anyone who knew anything about a killing in the city to come forth. She wasn't talking about the murder of Bailey. A 19-year-old reportedly confessed to that. She was talking about the more than half-dozen killings that occurred in the days immediately after the Bailey killing. The victims were black and the assailants almost certainly were also black.Oakland isn't unique in grappling with the latest murder surge that has racked poor black neighborhoods in America's big cities. The surge was capped recently by the shocking execution style murder of three black students in Newark, N.J.According to FBI figures, murder rates have spiked up in New Orleans, Philadelphia, Detroit, Oakland, and a dozen other cities. As in Oakland, the victims in almost all cases are blacks, and their killers are also black. But Brooks faced a big uphill battle in trying to get residents to loosen their tongues to the police. Many are petrified at the thought of being labeled a snitch. That is the tag that some silly, misguided rappers, activists, and even some academics have plastered on those blacks who inform police about other blacks.The resistance of blacks to provide information that could help catch killers has frustrated and infuriated police and prosecutors, increased the spiral of violence that racks some poor black neighborhoods, and deepens the fear and panic of many blacks over violent crime. Though the anti-snitch movement has been roundly denounced by many black leaders, victims of violence, and gang violence prevention groups, there is still a brisk industry in peddling T-shirts with the words "stop snitching" printed in bold letters to urge blacks to keep quiet when they witness crimes. |
The long history of police-black community conflict -- the fury that many African-Americans feel over the countless number of blacks who have been jailed and even dumped on death row merely on the word of a street or a jailhouse informant -- is a sore point.A study by Northwestern University School of Law's Center on Wrongful Convictions found that in the 100 wrongful death penalty convictions of black men in the past quarter century, the majority were convicted on the perjured testimony of alleged eyewitnesses. Numerous studies have shown that blacks are far more likely than any other group to distrust the police and less likely to talk to them about criminal acts.The fear factor also is a powerful disincentive for many blacks to provide information about violent crimes. Many are scared stiff that they would suffer retaliation if they blow the whistle on a violent perpetrator, and that the police wouldn't protect them. These are not totally false fears. City police departments spend far less dollars on witness protection programs than the federal government does. Many blacks feel the risk is too great if they unzip their lips.The fear of payback and the rocky relations with the police are understandable. But it does not justify a rapper or anyone else telling blacks to keep silent when they witness a crime and can provide information about it. Blacks have more to lose than any other group when they turn a blind eye to crime.They are more likely to be the victims of homicide, assaults and other violent crimes. A murderer or assailant will less likely be caught when a victim is black. While the national homicide clearance rate is about 60 percent, the clearance rate for solving murders in some big cities is in single-digit figures. Police and prosecutors in some big cities continue to scream loudly that they can't get people to come forth and tell what they know.This has put poor blacks, especially young black males who are the prime targets of the violence, in even greater harms way. In Los Angeles, homicide investigators note that gang members who kill often have committed multiple killings. They are emboldened to continue their wanton violence precisely because they feel there is little chance that they will be caught, and that witnesses will not come forth to testify if they are. In New Orleans, where the murder rate has gone off the charts, the witness problem got Eddie Jordan, the city's first black district attorney, in hot water with crime weary residents. He had to drop charges against the alleged shooters of several young blacks in a murder that made national headlines in June 2006, because a key witness disappeared.In Los Angeles and a handful of other cities, anti-violence prevention activists have tramped into shops and demanded that the storeowners yank the anti-snitch shirts from the shelves. But pulling a shirt from a rack is one thing, getting people to come forth and tell what they know about a crime is another. When they don't come forward, they insure the mounting carnage in some black neighborhoods such as Oakland will mount even higher. Albion Monitor August

Very useful tool. Recent version 2.0x improved a lot on memory usage, reduced memory usage from 10GB to 30MB, great improvement !!! Another problem is speed. Currently, convert a csv with 10k lines (5.2MB size) to xlsx will need 3 minutes, for lager files, the time will increase a lot. If the conversion speed can improve a lot, that will be perfect.
Fantastic tool and very responsive dev!
I'm very happy about csv2odf selection. It's a useful tool to build good report. Technically speaking I appreciated following code attribute: - stable - well documented - fast - it's not overloaded with unnecessary function Finally the support it's very good. stefano

Build a better supply chain.
What's an 850?
An EDI 850 document is also known as a purchase order. Browse our comprehensive list of EDI transactions to learn about the different types of EDI documents, what they are used for, and why it matters for your business.
What is EDI?
EDI is an abbreviation for Electronic Data Interchange. Using EDI, companies send information from one business system to another, using a standardized format. EDI allows companies to exchange data electronically rather than by paper.
Benefits of EDI:
EDI has many benefits. EDI is proven to streamline and improve workflow while enhancing supply chain predictability.
EDI is cheaper and faster than traditional paper methods
A paper-based order can cost $70 or more per transaction, while the more efficient electronic transactions are processed for less than a dollar. Online EDI solutions eliminate hidden costs when compared to packaged EDI software. Cloud-based EDI solutions save an average of 25–75% in upfront costs, plus 50–75% in long-term expenses like software updates and hardware upgrades.
Respond quickly to disruptions
Make more-accurate documents and forecasts
Reduce inventory
Reduce manual data entry, as well as the errors
"SPS Commerce knows of future changes to a retailer's transactions well in advance. It is not uncommon for them to proactively change a map to suit a retailer's new requirement before we are even aware that changes are needed."
Gregg TinesGetting started with EDI: Questions to ask before you start
Who are my trading partners?
Trading partners may include suppliers, third-party warehouses, carriers, sourcing offices, banks and many others. Any business that needs the data to fulfill an order or provide a service should be included.
Why invest in my supply chain?
Though often overlooked, the supply chain is an increasingly important strategic asset that can predict the health of an organization's bottom line and growth opportunities. The supply chain's contribution to revenue increased from 4% in 2011 to 8.5% in 2012.[*] *2012 CSC Global Survey
What business documents do I want to exchange?
The standard messages support a variety of business processes from POs to payments as well as capturing the status of a shipment and gaining visibility into your suppliers' inventory.
In-house or outsourced EDI?
- Requires software
- Requires hardware
- Requires knowledgeable resources in-house
- Requires ongoing support within the organization to preserve EDI capabilities
- Must develop and maintain maps and requirements for each trading partner connection
Outsourced EDI:
- Outsourcing takes most of the IT work off your shoulders.
- An online EDI solution requires no hardware.
- An online EDI solution requires no software.
- If a retail partner changes an EDI map or specification, your EDI provider will manage the change so there's no disruption to your EDI document flow.

Their location, a place named,, Bloodpool,,, not the most inviting of names, I thought.
SLurl - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aerynth/131/178/21 |
note all the Bloodlines Friendly posters, be advised, vampires, demons, adult Roleplay |
And Fishing! this looked fun! I like fishing
The castle was foreboding, enormous,, surrounded by thick forests and other smaller fishing points, and nests of secluded cottages for rent.
I passed many shops for rent at decent prices, but still no sign of the man who was screaming and moaning..
The man at the cemetary gate said he was in the employ of a "Mistress Silky", and would not allow passage,, so I went around and was as polite as could be.
note 14L for Bloodlines apples, very good price |
by nightfall I had found the main stairway, still I could hear the echoes of a man whimpering in pain...
Every room is well furnished, I found a medical room and resupplied myself, several libraries, bedrooms, and at last the living quarters!
The serpent eyes changed color, and made me feel very ill at ease,,
but not as much as the painting above it,,
Lightning cracked with the smell of ozone filling the dank hall, who was that sarcophagus for?
I got too close! a sharp sizzling painful strike seized me up and I felt the stained glass shatter as I was propelled though it!
but,, it wasn't broken,,,
The smell of sulfur and burning rock filled my nose and I stared disbelieving,,,
The most expansive, terrifying volcanic grotto I had ever seen! I had to remind myself I was a scientist, and looking for the source of the moaning man
beside the stained glass portal with me, was a skeleton, and the shimmering ectoplasmic apparition I assumed had been this poor soul when he was alive...
"It is hopeless,," he said,,
"Why? Who are you? "
"I was Galdur, King of my land. With magic knife and armor I came to save them, but they were too strong. I tried to leave but there is no way to exit the glass except to receive a special key from the arch-demon above us,, he can only be defeated by one means and I never learned it,,,you are doomed,,,"
I certainly wasn't going to listen to this all day! I had to save that man!
All my clothing was gone, all my tools, medical items,, yet this man's clothing scraps were still intact, and his knife! It must be that magical items remain when you go through the stained glass,, I quickly cut up the huge leathery shirt of his so it would fit me, it was full of holes, he had been in a horrible fight,, when he was alive...
Much better! now to find that man!
There below,, a woman,, with a man and he was moaning in pain! I found him!
The plumes of acrid smoke were searing, and the lava would be instant death,, I had to be careful as I made my way over her little island of rock and dropped down
"Well dear it took you long enough, I have been holding him between worlds for hours!"
her voice was strangely familiar, and sweet,,,
"What do you mean? Is he hurt? I am a doctor..."
The woman with wings just laughed a cute playful laugh...
"yes! yes, he needs your help! Oh this is a fun game, and you don't realize what is happening do you? Oh how yummy!"
"What do you mean? And don't try anything." I waved the magic knife.
"Haven't you wondered how you heard a man moaning in the Void space? or how you knew to come here? Just place your hands on his , on his heart,, feel his essence pulsing."
The moment I touched his body, his ghostly form stopped moving! A shock like the lightning that blasted me through the window, ran up my arms and down my thighs, I quivered, I saw double, My skin felt hot,, and my hands and arms looked noticeably darker,,,
"What happened? My skin? I feel my blood racing through me!"
She was calm, caring, her voice loving and understanding...
"Yes, it is a gift, now your skin is able to withstand the waters of creation, the lava. You can breathe now, feel things, you can feel things,, feel them, , feel them now,, just listen, and feel, , , "
She was right, as soon as I closed my eyes, I could hear voices in my mind,, I listened harder, but they seemed to sink down into my mind before I could really catch what they were saying, which of course made me fight even hearing them at all! She was cooing and the soft murring in her throat made me really distracted, warm all over and frustrated. I wriggled a little and her hands began sliding up my belly, removing my magic shirt.
"Your new skin is much stronger than this old skin, it is unneeded now." I had to admit it, and said softly,
"It is unneeded now."
"That's right," she said in her usual loving and caring voice. I laughed as she tickled my belly, the voices barely noticeable now as they poured vast amounts of knowledge into my head, just beyond where I was able to really focus on them. I started to worry her I think, maybe I wrinkled my brow, and she was there with more help.
"Now, you would like to be able to see better wouldn't you? Just lean back, I have you, just let me have you, just relax, I have you, I have you now." She was right as usual and I told her so.
"You have me now."
her hands spread my knees, touched me all over, anywhere she wanted,, and I felt a heat pouring up into me, and seething out my skin, rushing out my eyes,,
I could feel my eyes changing, throbbing, I could see in more colors, more forms of light, the luminescence of the grotto was amazing! Gorgeous! My breasts swung heavily as she played with them and I could feel them growing, swelling, throbbing all over. She was loving and gentle, like always. She had me now, and I felt very safe. Her voice echoed in my mind now, I didn't need to hear , my mind could understand their thoughts, and they clearly understood mine.
"There, your body is now ready to accept your learning,, and your learning is now ready to accept your body. You are ready, you accept,, you accept now."
"I was scared, I needed my knife, my shirt, I needed to run, escape, and I told her so, or tried. But it came out in a soft echoing murr,
"Mmmmm, I accept now."
I washed and swam in erotic waves and oceans of bliss, for days, weeks, months, while her voice in my head poured all that I was to know, my training, she was training me.
"Why are you training me?" I queried, hugging her lightly and kissing her the way I knew sent her shivers. She had trained me.
"So you can survive when you meet the Haunt. But why did you want to meet him?"
"I need the key to escape from the Arch Demon, and I need that which protects me from him."
She laughed a little chuckle as she stroked my feet,, till they hardened into soles perfect for the terrain here, I felt faster, stronger, dozens of times more than before.
I kicked my feet in the air and smiled as it made her giggle, Then my tail protruded quickly, and it hurt at first, a shock up my spine, but as my training taught me, pain is only another form of pleasure, and soon i writhed in it and swung my tail about!
A splitting crack in my skull allowed the horns to push up from deep inside, The moment they were there, still wet and pulsing,, she was quick to bind them with jewels and wire,, I could hear thoughts anywhere I wanted, if I concentrated.
"What,, what are you doing to me?"
"You wanted the protection against the arch demon didn't you? The haunt will give it to you, if you live. But now you can hear him, feel him, and you must meet him in the glow-water. It would have killed you , but now you will be fine."
I thanked her as I stood, trying out my new feet, I was so much faster now! The lava didn't burn me either, I see why she called it only, "glow water" .
I could feel the haunt's approach behind me, his mental force was dark and musky as he tried to pervade my thoughts, fill my head with his stench, his was an essence of death, pure and simple.
I turned to face him, and I could feel his thoughts pouring down the back of my throat, no way to stop them; as if he had the code to my horns, was transmitting to them around my conscious thought. I was pretty sure it had something to do with the gems she imbedded, he was however in a good mood, so I played along.
"Very good, little pupae. You have done well, accepted all your training, and transformed properly. I now give you the ability to see and handle the ecoplasm, to feed on psychic energy, of life, of sex, and to give it to others."
"Thank you."
"What troubles you? I hear it in your mind." His stench in my mind was more pleasant now, I recall thinking it was like a cologne I had smelled before on a man, maybe he was a haunt?
"I must escape, and to get through the window, I need the key from the Arch Demon, and I know not how to protect myself from him."
"I would kill others for such a thought, but for you, the answer is to see the Hell-Dragon, over there. Tell him I sent you for the protection of the Arch Demon. I deal only in Death and Ectoplasmic transference,, The Dragon deals in what you seek."
I hurried over, splashing and kicking as I went, it was amazing how limber I was, how lithe, I could leap stories, I could feel it was possible to retract my horns, hooves, tail,, but before I could focus on it, he was there, ancient and impervious. It did me no good to even consider attacking or threatening him, and I told him so at first.
"This new pupae serves with respect"
He seemed moderately amused and though his mouth opened to bite,, he paused.
"Hm,, I read your thoughts, even as I pour into you my knowledge. Soon you will be ready."
"Soon I will be ready."
It just came out, I don't know why I said it.
I decided to caress his enormous toothy jaw and coo lovingly to him, just as she had done with me earlier.
"How may I protect myself from the great Arch Demon, that i may get the key to escape?"
His voice was like a ton of rock in my head
"Good. Your abilities of persuasion are working, your ability to affect minds, The wiggle of hip, glance of the eyes, the timbre in your voice, and your mind control, all complete, You are ready. See the Arch Demon."
I approached him with my hands on my head, he watched as I sauntered closer, my chest swaying with my hips, my tail bobbing lightly in time with my breasts. I darted a innocent glance up to him, and he snarled.
"Great Arch Demon, holder of the key to the window, " I lowered my arms, using all my sensual ability, focusing on his mind, his loins, his life force. "Please give me the key."
"You must do more than that, Pupae."
I knelt and began writhing, moving my shoulders and hips, rolling my pelvis, all my training came to me on how to entice, how to enslave with the subtle movements of my body. After what seemed like a dozen years or so, I licked my lips finally and whispered,, "Wasn't that worth a silly key?"
My legs buckled and I fell. Splayed as if my body was a rag doll, He overshadowed me, his mental power throbbing in my head, pounding and sending signals louder and stronger than my own mind could. I was terrified!
I screamed, "Noo!"
He whispered in my mind,, "Yesss." I felt him throbbing inside me , in two places now. I swelled with sensual thrill, and willingly did all he desired, and learned all he would teach.. I don't know how long it was, I realized I had no idea now, had I been here for years? minutes?
I learned of politics and practice, combat and civility, court manners and laws and lethal means of dispatching all my hated enemies. Then he filled me with the list of all his hated enemies, his loves, his sick and perverted desires, and the ability to conceal all these things from my prey, my enemies, even my Masters in the Hierarchy. I would be more subtle and powerful than them all,, I would overcome them one day and take their position, more and more powerful. I knew how I would do it too, How I would overcome them and destroy them,, he taught me how, and I received all he gave me.
"Good. You now have all the training I can provide, and have passed my tests. What would you like to do now?" I didn't have to think and with a soft sensual voice I caressed his still glistening shaft and whispered as I kissed his horn.
"Mmm, Would it please you if I were to prostrate myself on the altar and offer myself and services to our Duchess?"
"Go now. You are ready."
The moment I laid on the altar I could hear her voice,, she had been waiting, cheering,,, I cried with joy knowing, feeling, inside and out, how thrilled and happy I had made her. I laid there on the altar for ,,, years? She absorbed me, slowly, accepted me,, slower than I built my energy back, so I did not die. I grew stronger. Then when she was sated, filled, and she had deposited within me, subconscious wisdom that I could sense was very dangerous and powerful, she whispered, and I was rejuvenated, ready to leave. I realized then, that the key to leaving, was to go through that which I had done. The key was to do it well, and properly, and complete it all to their standard. I had done so.
I floated, I glowed, I basked in their energy and love, and hate, and the being at the portal was still there.
"It is you,, I sense it, but you are now a succubus, your power courses and pulses, it will control you if you do not fight it! Any of the dark Dukes and Duchesses of the Lower Planes can crack the code of your horns and control your mind, you idiot! You thought you were beating them, but they beat you!"
A number of funny retorts came to mind, but I was so filled with the Duchessess' love and energy, I kept walking, as if on clouds, and laughed, because I had in fact succeeded where he failed. So who was the fool?
I remember thinking, "It's cold ,," as the door to the castle opened...
I had no idea how much time had passed, where I had gone then, or what I did, but I was standing then in my medical aid office,, dressed in a new skirt and shirt, but with horns, a tail, and hooves,, my eyes glowed a deep crimson in the mirror!
I can still hear them you know,,, now I hear them everywhere, the moans, the tortured souls, on this plane and others, in this time stream and alternate time streams that cross mine. I could feel the guard upstairs in the gym, working out, and before I could stop myself I had sent him a flash image of his sweaty thick body writhing against mine,, a moment later he was toweling off, and heading toward the infirmary... I gave him a thought and he assumed it was his! Oh,, a dangerous ability,, I could feel a hunger in me, I needed to learn control,, first,, I will hide these horns and things,, then I will learn how to undo all this.
But first,, maybe a snack...

Another exciting week of comics is on the horizon and again is headlined by a slew of great Marvel books. So far the vast majority of new titles out of the house Stan Lee built have been as good as advertised and that bodes well for a new #1 of what is maybe the most important book for Marvel going forward, Avengers. It isn't all new beginnings however as a couple of other books continue their march towards their respective conclusions and that is exciting in wholly different way. Without any further delay let's get on to the comics that are coming out this week.
- Punisher War Zone #2
Just looking at the cover it's hard not to laugh at the entire concept of this mini-series:
How is Punisher even hoping to compete against that!?! With only pistols apparently?! All that being said it is only because of the fantastic writing of Greg Rucka that anyone who has been following the recent tales of Frank Castle knows the situation is not nearly as dire as it appears to be. I cannot wait to see how the Punisher comes up with ways to take on Avengers like Thor and Iron Man as it's like watching Batman fight Superman, the planning and execution should be a thing to behold. The first issue saw Wolverine give Frank a heads up on his situation but he won't be able to save him from the oncoming battle that will surely be one hell of a ride.
- Avengers #1
When I was looking to drop a few comics in order to shift purchases to other books (saving the money is not an option!) I originally saw the Marvel NOW launch as a prime opportunity to do just that. With Bendis' generally lackluster final run on the Avengers I saw this title's relaunch as one I could skip out on but that was before I read a volume of Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four. Although I'm familiar with the writer because of his involvement with books I love like The Manhattan Projects and The Red Wing I was never sure his high concept style would be something I'd want to read in a more traditional super hero book but my oh my has that changed. His 'Solve Everything' story arc in Fantastic Four has become one of my absolute favorite stories to date and made buying this book a complete no brainer. With his plans of forming one of the largest Avengers teams to date and promising to carry on his style of science-heavy, high concept stories there are few titles I am now more excited to pick up. I would like to note it doesn't hurt Jerome Opena from Uncanny X-Force is taking up art duties to boot.
- Hawkeye #5
After getting his ass saved in the last minute by Kate, Clint is still not yet out of the woods when it comes to the tape that could undo his entire Avengers career. Despite these circumstances Matt Fraction's take on Hawkeye has been as purely enjoyable as any book I have read in years.Clint continues to just stumble in and out of trouble at every turn but always has a funny quip or line to take the seriousness out of whatever situation he finds himself in. Honestly this book is what something along the lines of a slacker/hipster Spider-Man would look like and that is in no way a bad or insulting thing to say, it just makes the title all more unique amongst other comics on the shelves.
- All New X-Men #3
I had to check three different sites to make sure this was coming out this week as issue two was released just last week and I was unsure whether or not this was correct. As far I can tell this release is indeed happening and in my opinion that is a great thing. Last issue saw the X-Men from the past make their way to the present, learning even more horrible truths then Beast had told them about before their trip. With past Scott still coming to grips with his present form and Jean trying to wrap her head around the fact that in the present day she is actually dead this series has been exceptionally well written through its first two installments and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.
- Deadpool #3
What a difference a new creative team can have on a title. After Daniel Way seemingly gave up trying to write compelling yet fun Deadpool stories towards the end of his run Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan have so far succeeded in once again making the Merc with a Mouth a quality title.
In his ongoing battle against past Presidents that have risen up from the grave this issue sees 'Pool take on everyone's favorite President, Richard Nixon! I have laughed out loud more in the first two issues of this relaunch then maybe the final ten issues of Way's run and I really hope the story can stay as funny and well written as it has so far.
- Amazing Spider-Man #699
What a twist last issue eh?! Doc Ock in Peter Parker's body and vice-versa?! Dan Slott pulled the rug out from under the feet of 99.999% of Amazing Spider-Man readers last issue and with only two issues to go what is Peter going to do when he is stuck inside the body of a man that was previously set to die in a matter of days before pulling his greatest scheme ever? The way this book has suddenly turned I am left seriously doubting anything resembling a status quo will be in place when Spectacular Spider-Man kicks off in a couple of months and am eagerly anticipating these final two issues to see what becomes of my favorite hero in the process.
- Animal Man #15/Swamp Thing #15
I continue to group these two titles together while the Rotworld event goes on but this month these titles could not be telling two more different tales this month. Animal Man finds himself stuck in a battle alongside Frankenstein against Grodd and his Gorilla Army which is intriguing given the nature of Animal Man's powers being, you guessed it, animal based. Swamp Thing on the other hand travels to Gotham to see what has happened to Batman in world taken over by the Rot and any time Scott Snyder is involving Batman in a story you can bet it's going to be a compelling one. A wonderfully creepy story with equally weird and disturbing art has made this crossover event a real treat and should continue to be throughout its run.
- Action Comics #15
When this series first started I was very excited to be getting in on the ground floor of a new Grant Morrison ongoing series and had high hopes I would look back many issues after that first one and see references made years earlier finding their way into current stories. This was, and remains, the calling card of Morrison's entire run on Batman (which is STILL not over) and is what I was hoping would happen with his take on Superman. This dream was not to be as a few months ago Morrison said he was leaving the title, seemingly bailing out before he could attempt to fully bring together all of the different threads he has been creating in just over a dozen issues of this book. Last issue was one of the standouts as it saw Superman doing his thing while also attempting to connect emotionally to his father during battle and hopefully Morrison can put out a couple more high quality issues to make up for all the issues of Action Comics we will never get.

Hi all, I set my CRS the value Crs="EPSG:2044"
<WmsParameters WmsVersion="1.3.0" Crs="EPSG:2044"> <WmsLayerNames> <cc1:StringValue Value="vn_tinh" /> </WmsLayerNames> <WmsServerUrls> <cc1:UriValue Value="http://thuan-pc:2001/Maps/Map.ashx" /> </WmsServerUrls> </WmsParameters>
But, the url of image query is: http://thuan-pc:2001/Maps/Map.ashx?VERSION=1.3.0&LAYERS=vn_tinh&CRS=EPSG%3A2044&TRANSPARENT=true&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=0,-270,180,-90&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256
with the parametres: CRS=EPSG:2044 and SRS=EPSG:4326.
I don't know why the value of SRS is not equal to CRS?
CRS and SRS are the same?
I'm in use of code from trunk in Sharpmap v2. And this exemple is in the demo of SharpMap.Demo.AspNet and SharpMap.Demo.SharpLayers.
Hi thuanvh,
I haven't had a chance to test thoroughly, but I suspect that it is due to changes in the OpenLayers library itself - by the look of it they have changed the logic for WmsVersion >= 1.3. If you use the tagged version of SharpLayers (OL2.8) I would expect you to see different behaviour.
The trunk version is basically pegged to the trunk of OpenLayers (though it hasn't had any work to update/ bugfix since OL2.8), the tagged version is pegged against OpenLayers 2.8.
BTW I unfortunately had to make edits to the tagged version - while I tried to make sure I updated the trunk accordingly it is possible that there is still more recent code in the tag.
Hi jd.
I fixed this error.
I set simplement the value of Projection = "EPSG:2044". So SRS and CRS have the same value.

Treasures from Mum!
My Mum (actually a dear family friend, but like a second Mom) recently gave me some treasures! The candle sconce found it's home in the entryway with the gold-framed mirror. I think the cross design also goes well with the rest of the crosses!
This Tiarra water pitcher has joined the glassware in the curio cabinet (Mum gave it to me several years ago).
along with some ceramic veggies!
The bird teapot replaces the Easter basket on my table. I still haven't gotten around to camouflage the chip in the glaze.
For now the commemorative plate is on the drop front desk. I want to hang it with the cardinal plate that belonged to Gramma Marge. I need another plate to keep the grouping balanced. I still have some treasures to photograph and find homes for! Being a chicken "Momma" has been keeping me busy!
Y'all Come Back!

You have many fine treasures there! They are all very pretty.
Sorry, it has been so long between visits, but for some reason there are a few sites that make my computer freeze and your is one of them. I'm using my daughter's computer right now. Hopefully, next time it won't be so long between visits.

reading about Van Scoyoc cross coupling, I thought why not combine it with above cathodyne
haven't seen this anywhere, so I guess it won't work |

Needs some caps after the cathodyne for voltage isolation. Main problem will be the low and varying impedances seen by the cathodyne (due to driving the output stage cathodes) especially with the outputs operating in class AB.
With some Mosfet followers to drive the output stage cathodes inserted in between it could work. Last edited by smoking-amp; 2nd August 2011 at 05:25 PM. |

Is Van Scoyoc the same as Blumlein garters?
Listen to the music through the stereo, not the stereo through the music. |
2nd August 2011, 08:16 PM | #5 |

No. The Van Scoyoc was an overly complicated phase splitter, and the Blumlein Garter circuit was a cathode biased arrangement that automatically balanced plate bias currents. Two different things.
2nd August 2011, 08:25 PM | #6 |
diyAudio Moderator R.I.P.
I guess uoy refer to the cathode follower design
I believe it was done because of the need for a low impedance drive from what I understand a trafo or interstage was originally used to 'drive' the Van Scoyoc splitter the more complicated cathode follower design was implemented instead of the 'simpler' trafo thats why I thought 'hey, cathodyne has low impedance too', right ? but in my suggestion its the output stage that have cross referenced cathodes, and not the phase splitter so it might be a completely different thing but I don't know |
2nd August 2011, 09:28 PM | #7 |
diyAudio Moderator R.I.P.
ok, different approach
transformer/autoformer used as phase splitter seem to become more popular this one uses a relatively cheap interstage in a parafeed manner and the secondary is used to cross reference output cathodes, in a kind of Van Scoyoc style I suppose the IT is less critical this way but is it possible ? |

and, slightly different

They didn't have anything that could have served as a CCS for an actively loaded LTP. They were trying to solve problems that have much simpler solutions today. Also, any time you have cross coupled feedback, you have a potential astable multivibrator. |

The circuit in post 8 is looking better. The coupling xfmr needs to have a low output Z to drive the cathodes. And as Miles mentioned about cross coupled feedbacks turning into a multivibrator, the turns ratio for the low Z out xfmr would need to be low enough to keep the loop gain around the cross-coupled loop less than 1. Ie, the cathode currents must not excite their own grids with enough voltage to keep it oscillating. With the loop gain kept just below unity though, it may bootstrap the input impedance to eliminate loading on the 1st tube stage. Might be an interesting design concept.

My family of 22 spent our Christmas vacation in this beautiful home. The pictures shown are a true representation of the house. It is amazing! It was very clean and with lots of space for our large family. When we arrived on Thursday, everyone was so amazed with the property and it's amenities that we changed our plans to spend the day at Disney World on Friday and decided to enjoy the lovely pool and spa at the house and the resort clubhouse. The house is very close to the clubhouse. The large pool, lazy river, lounge chairs, cabanas, bar, etc. makes you feel as if you are on a tropical vacation. The weather during our stay was very nice and warm which made it feel even more tropical! The staff at the clubhouse were nice and provided lots of activities to keep us entertained; the food and drinks were great too! The property is great for children. It was great to have a high chair, pack n play and a stroller provided, less for us to bring with us! The kids loved the playing in the pool and in the large game room. The clubhouse also has a soccer field, volleyball and basket ball court and a playground to keep the kids busy. The kitchen is very spacious and fully equipped to prepare meals for a large crowd! We did finally go to Disney World on Saturday and it was only 10 minutes away. Publix, Target and several restaurants close by also. Ann was very easy to work with and provide great customer service. My family and I highly recommend this property and are looking forward to renting it again in the future!
Superb reviews - booked very last minute after arrival at our planned house was surrounded by construction, .however we were horrified as on arrival found that the house had been truly 'battered' there were lumps out of walls - broken lamps and the carpet was stained like I've never seen before. Seriously I have never seen walls or carpets like it - ever. I telephoned the manager immediately and he came out - agreed that there were issues but said that the owners were not interested in resolving. Both sofas in the sitting area are badly bowed - one touching the floor and is unusable. I have laid towels on the carpets upstairs as they are so disgusting. The stairs I can do nothing about but you can't walk bare feet. The walls are covered ingrained dirt - this house needs more than a deep clean - it's wrecked.
Trying to contact owner and This is where it got messy - Ann and Gary whom I booked with apparently are only booking agents - the management company, Multi-choice realty LLC then contract out to a local manager - English is not his first language so communication was an issue. So far I've managed to trace the owner to China - so will send him all information. I can see that a 9 bedroom will attract multiple families and large groups but clearly the wear and tear is huge. Ann states that feedback is great - and in all honesty it is which is why we booked - however some months down the line teams of 'wrestlers, softball teams and 5 families' will take its toll and trust me it has.
Despite numerous emails, including photos and videos the situation remains unresolved so will need to escalate further - photographic evidence in the camera - bring it on Ann, Gary and Multi-Choice Realty LLC
I have also logged a complaint with VRBO and will authorise them to give anyone my contact details so that I can show them first hand what this review is about.
Stayed here 9 nights and couldn't have been happier. The reservation process was clear and easy, and the house was completely ready when we arrived. There's a Publix and CVS nearby, plus lots of restaurants, convenience stores etc. Easy drive to Disney and to I-4 if you're going north towards Universal or southwest towards Tampa and the Gulf. The community is gated and very, very new so there's still some construction going on, but the clubhouse was ready and was a great place to relax if you didn't feel like staying at home. Didn't really have any problems with anything, and hated to leave. Kudos to Ann for her great service.
This house exceeded all expectations. My family loved everything about this house. We honestly did not want to leave and regret not booking for an extra day. Everything was clean. All shopping centers were near by. I will most definitely book again with Ann.
The place was perfect for our entire wrestling team - plenty of rooms and bathrooms. We all enjoyed the club house area as well - pool, arcade, volleyball. Wonderful place - hope to go back next year.
We were in town with 9 families for a cheer competition. This house was wonderful and provided plenty of space for all! Would definitely recommend and are thinking of using this same place next year!

Cork stoppers are the most famous product of the cork industry. It is the most produced and most exported. More than 12 billion bottles of wine are closed every year with cork, keeping all the qualities of this drink intact for centuries. The cork stopper has been the closure par excellence of wine for many years, chosen by more than 70% of producers. Cork's relationship with wine began in ancient Egypt as a closure for amphorae.
Unique properties
The natural properties of the cork stopper afford the wine industry a stopper with incomparable characteristics. Lightness (a cork contains about 90% of air or similar gas), flexibility, elasticity and compressibility (given by the 750,000,000 cells) allow the cork stopper to regains its initial form, ensuring a perfect adaptation to the neck of the bottle. This adaptation is dynamic over time, as it accompanies the expansions and contractions that the glass undergoes due to variations in the temperature of the environment, ensuring that the bottle remains sealed. Impermeability to liquids, virtually impervious to gases and the imputrescible nature that ensures high resistance to moisture and thus to oxidation, are important features which make cork stoppers the preferred closure of producers and consumers.

Hunting seasons have opened for several different species of small and big game in New York State. The Adirondacks provide many opportunities to hunt and trap all kinds of different animals: Deer, bear, beavers, rabbits, coyote, upland game birds, waterfowl, and more.
Hunting and trapping are important for managing herd populations around the state. The sale of licenses, equipment, accessories and guide services also brings tens of millions of dollars to state and local economies each year, according to the NYS DEC.

The first thing I think of instinctively is agriculture. Quickly following that, comes the sentiment that China is like the US's little brother or something, eager to catch up and a bit competitive, but when the economic boat rocks, we both get wet.
Catch up on what? they are above you in every single way possible.
Naw, there economy, per capita GDP, and average standard of living are all still lower that hose of the US, though they are growing rapidly.

how the **** is it a wannabe to the USA, talk about being an ignorant American, China are above you.
China above you! Strong statement . My friend, had you been in China, you cold not have access to such a website as this nor post anything remotely resembling a cuss word nor indulge in free speech. All one can do in China is to be monitered and reprimanded by jail if you say anything the Communist Party thinks is objectionable. You have no civil or public rights, you cant say anything against the Party and cant critisize it ..all hallmarks of a democracy. All the Chinese can do is to go overseas and then see for themselves what a real democracy is all about. They can only speak freely outside China..Inside China..Its all good China- as stated by the Party. Period.

From: Hoehle, Joerg-Cyril <Joerg-Cyril.Hoehle@t-...> - 2002-04-24 12:28:22
Hi, > Please do not move any of the CLISP-related work into private e-mail. > Remember, our private e-mail is not archived the same way the SF Ok, I understand. I'm starting to use the patches section of SF. > 3. please send the unified patches (-u); they are smaller and easier to read. ok. > > It causes me more work than if I throw all at once on you, but maybe > > it's better for discussion. > yes, please do keep the patches small. > your patch breaks FOREIGN-ADDRESS-NULL in foreign1.lisp, > but that's okay, I will fix that. Thanks. Actually, none of my patches really work, since they are fake diffs. The code worked as a module (as posted to the list), then I added lines by hand to subr.d, constsym.d, and copy&paste from the module to foreign.d and foreign1.lisp. I will not test every piece of a patch by seeing if CLISP still compiles -- every change to constsym.d needs recompilation, and we agreed on small patches. This is reserved for the end (fix typo and copy&paste bugs). Thanks again for smoothing things out. The typical "thanks, bug now fixed in CVS" reply says: >(be advised that between >releases the CVS tree is very unstable and may not even build >on your platform). This is exactly why I feel I must stay away from CVS. I feel a need for a stable platform. I just noticed I did too much copy&paste: constsym.d should contain LISPSYM lines, not LISPFUN. LISPSYM(exec_with_stack,"%FOREIGN-ON-STACK",ffi) Peter: sorry: LISPFUNN(mark_invalid_foreign,1) # { value1=T; mv_count=1; } broken { skipSTACK(1); value1=T; mv_count=1; } I'll send the the real thing to the patches section of sourceforge as soon as I beautify it. > BTW, could you please send me your spvw.d patch against the CVS? No yet rewritten. > > > please do submit your FFI testsuite. > are you sure you appended the whole patch? The part 1 which goes into foreign.d. -- any problems there? I never sent part 2 (foreign.tst) which still needs to be rewritten to use stable parts of the new FFI, not redefine-foreign-function history. Regards, Jorg Hohle. |

Okay on the face of it that's one of those cliche and annoying comments that people make but when it comes to this Learning Technologies stuff it's often infuriatingly true. The number of times I speak with a client or potential client about developments or possible other ways of skinning the cat (yes, there is more than one way) only for their face to drop as they realise they could have saved the last six months effort if they'd only known that so-and-so feature, software or service existed. So forgive me if the statement is obviously true, but accepting that at face value why do so many elearning novices strike out there on their own without the necessary help and support?
Firstly there's the almighty obvious answer of money. There's a large number (and even one or two who may read my blog) that are the sole elearning 'expert' in their organisation and have been given that nice round figure to work with and expected to move the organisation in the right direction. The first thing you need to do is get yourself in and around a community with common struggles. In New Zealand the NZATD is a great place to start, but there's numerous other support streams depending upon what you're trying to achieve and what tools you're using. I'm a big TotaraLMS and Moodle fan; so both of these have their own forums and support access (welcome to Open Source) but so do some commercial products like the excellent Articulate suite and the Adobe lot too. It's not hard to find help (you just need to know it exists).
It's a lot like going to the gym for the first time out there; it can be quite intimidating out there with the big bodies and grunters; life is a lot simpler with a personal trainer to help you work your way around and show you the pitfalls. That's where people like myself (learning technology consultants or similar named helpful individuals) can really pay dividends. We can show you a little of what you don't know and explain the possibilities whilst helping you avoid some of the very costly mistakes it's possible to make in the world of learning technologies. Whilst many of us in this field are self-taught, it take years to get there and we all have our stories of where it didn't quite go the way we thought! Be careful when you do this.. my old article here has some advice on this: choose your partner wisely.
The next thing is to find a 'friend' or mentor who is further down the path than you. If you know someone who regularly goes to the gym, then why not arrange to go with them. You don't have to match the weights or exercises but you can pick up some great trips along the way, especially if your fitness instructor can help correct some of the bad habits your mentor might have got in to! Your mentor doesn't have to be the same height, shape, sex or build as you (they can come from a different organisation or sector I'm saying here!), just have to have something in common and get along.
You also don't need to take this journey on your own. You need to find someone where you are who can relate, be interested in or at least support you along the way. If you really are a one (wo/)man band then speak to your boss or mentor within the business. They don't have to work-out with you every time but if they are with you it becomes more fun; not a single journey that isn't better with the right company!
My last piece of advice on the unknown is that it's not a good idea to workout in the dark. What I mean here as I (as usual) take the metaphor a stage too far, is that you don't have to be alone and in the dark even if you feel that way. The trick here is to communicate with those around you what you are up to and embarking upon. Whilst it would be nice to pop in to the gym silently every night and return to work 6 months later (yes, it takes time..) with a perfect bod to show off, the reality is small steps. If you do this without any help, without letting people know, without celebrating those little successes then your overall likelihood of success is greatly reduced. Besides when you communicate, you'll be surprised what some of the people you thought wouldn't be able to help are communicate; it's not so dark after all.
The moral of this story is that you will never know what you do not know, but with some help, guidance and friends, someone will know enough to help or point you in the right direction. Life may be a journey rather than a destination, but it sure helps if you can see which way you're heading on that journey.

Bruichladdich was built by Barnett Harvey in 1881. Five years later, the Bruichladdich Distillery Company was founded and renovation and refurbishment commenced. The 'Laddie', as it is affectionately known, is often considered to be the fruitiest, most inventive Islay malt and, indeed, there has been some contention as to whether it has truly attained Islay-status. Bruichladdich countered this with the introduction of the Port Charlotte range and later with the 2008-released Octomore, the world's most heavily peated whisky with a phenol content of 131ppm. The gentle character of the spirit is attributed by some to the milder weather conditions at Bruichladdich's locality, sheltered, as it is, from Mother Nature by the Rhinns, the rugged Islay mountain range. Following the death of the then owner, Barnett's son William Harvey IV in 1936, the distillery was run by Kenneth Harvey and sold a year later to Joseph Hobbs for the sum of £23,000. Silent for the latter part of the Second World War, Bruichladdich closed its in-house maltings in 1961, bringing malt in from the Islay maltings at Port Ellen. Enjoying good fortunes, further stills were added in 1975 to grapple increasing demand. Blenders Whyte and Mackay acquired the distillery under Invergordon Distillers in 1993. Just two years later, production ceased and in 2000 the distillery was purchased by Murray McDavid for £6.5m. The former Bowmore manager, Jim McEwan was brought in as Production Director, and in July of 2001 distillation began once more. Today the range is vast; many cask finishes, or 'ACE'd (additional cask enhancement) whiskies, have been released as well as the formerly mentioned peated offerings and, following a few successful years, the 'Laddie's' future looks promising.

A little shoes and bags haul
A few purchases arrived through the post last week, so I thought I'd do a little mini haul post to show you what I got.
Patent navy wellies with red bow | £49.95 | Joules
Designer style smile bag | £17.99 | eBay
Navy and gold studded shopper bag | £24.99 | eBay
Tan flat boots with gold studs | £16.99 | eBay
I love love love the wellies, and I got the just in time for the snow! I actually bought them from Next but they're sold out there now as they were in the sale. I took them for a spin on Saturday with the navy and gold studded bag which I'm also super pleased with. It looks very dark navy in real life, almost black navy. The Celine style bag is a little bit of a disappointment as in the photo online it was a really nice grey beige, whereas the one I've been sent is a very yellowy sort of beige. Still nice I suppose, but not half as nice as it looked in the picture! Both bags come in loads of other colours too and I thought they were nice and cheap for making a nice update to my wardrobe. I've not worn the tan boots yet - I've got a few pairs of black ankle boots and just fancied another colour. I liked the studs on these so I thought I'd give them a go.
Just another note on the wellies - these are nice and wide if you have a chunkier calf. Probably not so great if you have really skinny legs. I wanted to buy some Hunter boots but they seemed too skimpy on the calf area. Hunter have some wider fit ones but they don't seem to look as nice. Now that I have the Joules ones I much prefer them anyway. They have an expanding bit at the back which you don't even really see because of the bow. I'm writing this on Sunday night and there's lots of snow here so I'll be walking to work in these beauties tomorrow morning!
What do you think of my choices?
Keep up to date with all things flutter and sparkle in any of the following ways -

Mother's Day is just a couple of weeks away, so I thought it might be handy to have a free shipping weekend so that everyone can get organised! Free shipping applies to all orders posted to an Australian address. No need to do anything, free postage will be applied automatically at the checkout until 6pm AEST tomorrow (Sunday 27 April). As well as free shipping, I have also listed a few heavily discounted items. Pop over to the Yardage Design online shop for a look!
Have a lovely weekend!
