New York Wall Street skidded further Friday, sending the Dow Jones industrials back below 10,000 as disappointments from Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. deepened investors' dread of a second-half earnings slump.
All three indexes ended the week lower for the fourth straight week, as investors sold stocks across all sectors and industries, with technology and consumer staples taking the brunt of the selloff. The Nasdaq composite index fell to its lowest point of the year.
The drop was triggered by lower-than-expected earnings from Microsoft -- a rare miss that unnerved investors. And Wall Street saw Amazon.com's lower-than-expected earnings and revenues as a potential sign that consumer spending was slowing.
Combined with economic data that has pointed to what Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan called a "soft spot" in the economic recovery, the week was a brutal one throughout the markets.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 88.11, or 0.9 percent, to 9,962.22.

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and SIG are working with the YMCA London South West to develop an economical and innovative housing solution, providing self-contained and affordable starter accommodation for young people unable to either gain a first step on the housing ladder or pay the high costs of private rent.
The Y:Cube units are 26m2 one-bed studios, for single occupancy, that arrive on site as self-contained units. Each unit is constructed in the factory with all the services already incorporated. Therefore, the water, heating and electricity can be easily connected to existing facilities or to other Y:Cubes already on site. This 'plug and play' approach results in a modular, demountable system of apartments that are perfectly designed for brownfield sites. Additional units can be added if needed and whole developments can be taken apart and rebuilt in new locations. This modern method of construction makes for a neighbourly, clean and quiet site.
Each unit is constructed from high quality, eco-efficient materials (primarily renewable timber) and can achieve Code Six for Sustainable Homes. The factory conditions in which the pods are assembled ensure tolerances of 2mm, creating accommodation that is so well insulated that they require little or no heating, even in winter months. This presents further valuable savings as the cost of energy rises.
A 36-unit Y:Cube development is planned to go on site in Mitcham later this year. Every resident is either referred by the London Borough of Merton or a previous resident of the YMCA. The Y:Cube provides an alternative to poor quality shared accommodation managed by private landlords and can offer a better solution for those in housing need within the community.
The rent is set at 65% below market rate and in addition to low energy bills the Y:Cube is genuinely affordable for those who live there. Y:Cube Housing offers a real opportunity for social investment, providing a solid return to investors whilst at the same time meeting a huge need.

After college football's opening weekend this past weekend, it's now the NFL's turn to kick off the 2012 season. After a long offseason filled with OTAs (Organized Team Activities), mini camps, training camps, and preseason games both fans are players are eager to play in games that count.
The NFL will start things off with a special Wednesday night game (September 5th, 2012) between the NY Jets and Dallas Cowboys. The game will be played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey and will feature two of the more popular teams in the NFL. Both teams are looking to rebound from disappointing 8-8 seasons in 2011 in which neither team qualified for the playoffs. All the hype coming out of Jets training camp surrounds the quarterback position. Jets QB Mark Sanchez inked a new deal but fans and media alike are not sold on his abilities. If Sanchez stumbles out of the gate be prepared for the second coming of Tebow mania. The Jets are expected to debut a new hybrid offense in which Tim Tebow will see the field as a running back in a variation of the "Wildcat" offense. The "Wildcat" formation consists of a direct snap to the running back is named after the Wildcats of West Genesee High School.
Week 1 will also include a double-header of Monday Night Football (MNF) games. Game 1 will be a matinee (kickoff at 6:00 PM) between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals at MT Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Game 2 will begin at 9:15 PM and will feature the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers at the newly named O.co Coliseum in Oakland California.

Week 1 also means that the fantasy football season is starting. My main money league just switched to a dynasty format and we had out first draft last weekend. It's a uber competitive 16 team league with individual defensive players and a unique scoring format (PPR, bonus for 100 yards rushing/receiving, 300 yards passing, etc.). I was out of town for the draft which meant I was forced to take my chances with auto-pilot. I had the 9th pick in the draft and was able to snag my top target Cam Newton. Cam Newton is a beast in this league as, in addition to impressive passing game, he also racks up mega points with his rushing ability. He is also young which bodes well for a dynasty league in which you get to keep your entire starting lineup from year to year. Below is my complete roster…what do you think?

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 445,813, filed Dec. 1, 1982 now abandoned.
This invention relates to semiconductor memory devices and more particularly to an improved sense amplifier for an MOS random access dynamic read/write memory.
Dynamic MOS memory devices have heretofore used bistable differential sense amplifiers which have inputs connected to bit lines (column lines) which are split in two halves. Dummy cells establish a reference voltage on the unselected halves. Sense amplifiers of this type are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,239,993 issued to McAlexander, White and Rao, U.S. Pat. No. 4,081,701 issued to White, McAdams and Redwine, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,940,747, issued to Kuo and Kitagawa, all assigned to Texas Instruments.
The differential sense amplifiers previously used have required a period of time in the cycle for equallizing the bit line halves during precharge. This period has been 50 ns, for example, and when the goal is production of high speed devices this equallization time period becomes a significant factor.
It is the principal object of this invention to provide an improved sense amplifier for a high speed random access read/write memory, particularly for an array of one-transistor cells. Another object is to provide a sense amplifier which may be used in a dynamic memory array with reduced precharge time so the cycle time is short.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a semiconductor memory device having an array of rows and columns of dynamic one-transistor memory cells uses a single-ended differential sense amplifier connected to each whole column line, rather than separately to column line halves. A bistable circuit with cross-coupled driver transistors has one side connected to the column line by a first coupling transistor which turns off as the row line goes high to trap a fixed reference voltage, then the other side is connected to the column line by a second coupling transistor which turns on after the column line has settled out. This column line voltage is related to whether a 1 or 0 is stored. The time needed to precharge the column line is short because two halves need not be precharged from different levels, and so the memory cycle time is short. Also, the device is less susceptible to errors due to alpha particles because a change of the bit line voltage equally effects both inputs to a sense amplifier.
The novel feature believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as other features and advantages thereof, will be best understood by reference to the detailed description which follows, read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an electrical schematic diagram of a part of a memory array showing the sense amplifier circuit of the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a graphic representation of voltage vs. time existing at various parts of the circuit of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 1, a single-ended sense amplifier circuit for a dynamic memory is illustrated according to the invention. The memory device is of the type illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,239,993, except the bit lines are not split in halves. An array of one-transistor dynamic memory cells 10 is formed in a semiconductor chip, of the 256K or 1-Megabit configuration, for example. Each cell 10 has a storage capacitor 11 and an access transistor 12. The gates of all transistors 12 in a row are connected to a row line 13, and the drains of all transistors in a column are connected to a column line 14. A 256K device has 512 row lines 13 and 512 column lines 14; usually, the device is partitioned in blocks, so a given column line has only 128 cells on it, for example, whereby the ratio of cell capacitance 11 to capacitance of a bit line 14 is within acceptable limits.
The sense amplifier consists of two cross-coupled driver transistors 15 connecting a pair of sense nodes 16 and 17 to a grounding node 18. The nodes 16 and 17 are connected to the bit line 14 by two separate coupling transistors 20 and 21, having clock voltages Φs and Φt on the gates. The transistor 20 functions to establish a reference voltage on sense node 16 (like the dummy cell of conventional sense amplifiers), and the transistor 21 functions to couple the sensed cell to the other sense node 17. As seen in the timing diagram of FIG. 2, the clock Φs drops before (or at the same time) the selected Xw voltage on one of the row lines 13 goes high, isolating a reference voltage on the node 16, then after the selected cell capacitor 11 has caused the bit line 14 to drop (or not, depending on whether a 1 or 0 is stored), the clock Φt drops and isolates the sensed voltage on the node 17.
Each of the bit lines 14 is precharged by transistor 24 which has a clock Φpc on its gate. This precharge clock Φpc is high during the precharge cycle, then drops before Φs or Xw go high, leaving the bit lines 14 at a precharge level of about Vdd. Usually the precharge clock is caused to drop by the receipt of a chip enable CE clock from external to the chip. In a device with multiplexed addresses, a row address strobe RAS voltage initiates a read cycle; the column address strobe CAS would follow. So, CE of FIG. 2 corresponds to RAS in a multiplexed device.
The grounding node 18 is connected to ground through a transistor 25 which has a clock voltage Φ1 applied to its gate. This clock Φ1 goes high at about the time Φt drops, as seen in FIG. 2, and initiates the latching operation by the cross-coupled driver transistors. The transistor 25 may be shared by all of the sense amplifiers on the chip. Also, instead of a single grounding transistor, there may be two or three which are turned on at slightly delayed times, as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 4,239,993.
Active pull-up circuits as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,239,993 and 4,081,701 are connected to the sense nodes 16 and 17. These circuits include load transistors 27 which have a boost clock Φb on the gates. Shunt transistors 28 with a trap voltage Vtr on the gates connect the gates of the transistors 27 to the nodes 16 or 17. The trap voltage Vtr is at Vdd during precharge, then drops to a voltage of about one or two thresholds below Vdd when Φpc drops, so a voltage of Vdd is trapped on the gates of transistors 27, forming the capacitor 29. When one of the nodes 16 or 17 drops toward zero after Φ1 goes high, the transistor 28 on this side turns on, discharging the gate of this transistor 27 and causing the gated capacitor 29 on this side to go to a zero capacitance condition. Thus, when the clock Φb goes high, the transistor 27 on the zero-going side does not turn on, because its capacitor 29 is unformed and its gate is shunted to its source by the transistor 28. On the other side, the transistor 28 is off and the Φb voltage boots the gate of the transistor 27 above Vdd, pulling the node 16 or 17 to a full Vdd level. If the node 17 stays high, a full Vdd is thus available to refresh the selected cell capacitor 11 after Φt goes high again. If node 17 goes low, a zero is refreshed.
The output from the sense amplifier for read operations (or input for write operations) is by a pair of transistors 30 which have Φy on their gates. This Y-select voltage ΦY is obtained from the Y decoder and connects the selected column to an I/O buffer for connection off chip. In read operations, as seen in FIG. 2, the clock Φy goes high at some time after Φ1 goes high.
The transistors 20 and 21 each have transistors 20a or 21a in parallel for the purpose of physically and electrically balancing the sense nodes 16 and 17. The transistor 20a has its gate connected to Φs, like transistor 20, but the transistor 21a has its gate connected to ground. The apparent capacitance on node 16 is larger than the capacitance on the node 17, which decouples more of the charge from node 16 than from node 17, which generates the reference offset (as is conventionally done with a dummy cell of half the size of a storage cell). The transistors 20, 20a, 21 and 21a are all of the same physical size. When Φs goes low, a negative-going offset reduces the voltages on the nodes 16 by a certain amount, say 200 millivolt, but when Φt goes low it reduces the voltage on node 17 by only half this amount because only one transistor is coupling the negative excursion. But added to this effect on node 17 is the offset due to the selected storage capacitor 11. The result is that if a 0 is stored, the node 17 is lower than node 16 after Φt, but if a 1 is stored the node 17 is higher than 16. The latch made up of transistors 15 flips accordingly, after Φ1 goes high.
FIG. 2 also shows the voltages on the bit line 14 and the sense nodes 16 and 17 during an active cycle for the conditions of a stored 1 and a stored zero. It should be noted that the precharge clock Φpc, the word line voltage Xw and the clocks Φs and Φt are booted above Vdd (although shown at Vdd) so that a full Vdd level appears on all nodes.
An important feature of the invention is the operation during the precharge part of the cycle. When Φpc goes high after an active cycle is completed, as seen in FIG. 2, the bit line 14 quickly precharges to Vdd (or Vdd-Vt), and there is no problem of equallizing two separate bit line halves. Heretofore, a long period was used to assure that the bit line halves (one of which is always 1 and the other 0) are at the exact same voltage. The bit line halves were of rather large capacitance, so this equallization period was lengthy. In contrast, the bit line 14 in this invention may charge to a slightly lower voltage if it was a 0, compared to 1, but this is of no consequence since both sides of the sense amplifier will be equally affected. Of course, the nodes 16 and 17 must be equallized, but these are of very small capacitance so this occurs rapidly. A transistor 31 may be used to equallize the nodes 16 and 17 during Φpc. The next cycle can begin by Φpc and Φs dropping after little delay, so the cycle time of the memory device can be shorter, indeed not much longer than the access time.
Another important feature is the relative immunity to errors due to alpha particles. When an alpha particle hits the silicon chip, it creates momentarily a minute conductive area in the surface, and this can disturb a cell or bit line by an amount comparable to the stored data bit or the change in voltage of a bit line in a read operation. In the conventional dynamic RAM circuit where the bit lines are split into halves, an alpha particle thus produces a differential voltage on the sense amplifier inputs, possibly causing an erroneous output. In the circuit of this invention, however, a change in the amount of charge on a bit line 14 due to an alpha particle will be equally reflected in both inputs 16 and 17 to the sense amplifier, and no error results.
While this invention has been described with reference to an illustrative embodiment, this description is not intended to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the illustrative embodiment, as well as other embodiments of the invention, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to this description. It is therefore contemplated that the appended claims will cover any such modifications or embodiments as fall within the true scope of the invention.

The pilot community supported fishery (CSF), the Mid-Coast Fisherman's Cooperative, is located in Port Clyde, Maine. This program started back in 2007 and is based off the community supported agriculture model, which aims to give local farmers or fishermen a competitive price while hauling in smaller harvests. This makes it possible for smaller businesses to avoid being undercut by huge corporations. Also, this pumps money directly back into communities and provides locals with a more sustainable food source.

These People rule Amerika as Ms Queen Meechele, and His Majesty, Barry? Ms Queen Meechelle forgot to mention that the child she is "Channeling" was killed by her cousin in da hood, who looked like the Male Black Child that His Majesty King Barry "Channels". God save us from what we have allowed to happen to America because of Collective Guilt and Political Correctness. Long live the King!(and Queen) |

An yet, Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Why are they not having the desired effect?
Wait, I know this one! Because criminals, gang bangers, and thugs don't care about gun laws. They don't buy their guns through legal channels like the rest of us. They rob pawn shops and sporting goods stores, buy smuggled guns, use straw buyers and, occasionally, steal from people who own them legally. If they don't get shot in the process, that is. |

Apr 11, 2013
Just think about this awful truth' " Michells and Barak feel your pain." This "Buys" the votes of the Plantation Residents that are to stupid to learn that they are "held down by the man", and for the past 4 years, and for the next 4 years, the man running their Plantation looks like the many of the residents on the Demokrat Plantation. Some people will never be responsible enough to be Free, but they still DEMAND all of the benefits that Free People earn. |

In the Chi-Town News this Morning, another Resident on the Demokrat Plantation that "looks like" Meechelle, was executed by her Demokrat Cousin. I believe this child was 16 years old though.
Remember Folks, we are all in this together,and YOU must have your Rights Restricted in order to save "even ono person". Ignore the man behind the Collective Curtain! Ignore why Amerika's Urban Cesspools are bastions of Demokrat Party Rule. Ignore that the Chicago Plantations have made Gun Ownership Illegal........Just think about the Child that is killed everyday by her cousins, the child that is Channeled by Ms Meecheele, Amerika's Queen . |

BOSTON -- Even if the New York Yankees somehow make it into the playoffs -- and the Tampa Bay Rays seem to be trying awfully hard to help them -- tonight's 9-2 loss should remove any illusions of whether they can even manage to win a game. And forget about "deserving" to get in. The non-performance turned in by just about everyone on the team not named Brendan Ryan, in a game New York absolutely had to win, says it all about what kind of a team this is.
Tired, injured, depleted and on life support. And oh yeah, Alex Rodriguez left the game in the fifth inning with a tight right calf.
Ivan Nova was terrible, the offense couldn't take advantage of Clay Buchholz on a night when the undefeated (11-0) right-hander was wilder than Lindsay Lohan's hypothetical bachelorette party, and even the normally-reliable Ichiro Suzuki made a horrible misplay in right field that led to a couple of runs.
A dreadful, soul-crushing performance all around.
A-Rod down: Rodriguez, who has been hobbled recently by a left hamstring strain that has limited him to DH duty for the past five games, was pinch hit for by Joe Girardi with Vernon Wells in the fifth. Diagnosis: A tight right calf. Prognosis: We'll find out after the game. But it can't be good.
Oh, Nova!: The Red Sox teed off on Nova in the first inning, scoring three runs on a double into the triangle by Daniel Nava, an RBI single by David Ortiz and a long two-run home run by Mike Napoli.
Handy man: Tough to tell if it was inadvertent or not, but Napoli broke up a potential double play in the fourth when his right hand got in the way of Mark Reynolds' relay throw on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's grounder over second into a shift. Girardi came out to argue for an interference call but to no avail; the play was scored a forceout and Salty stayed on first. He wound up scoring later in the inning on a bizarre double steal (see below).
Grand theft: The Red Sox got their fourth run when, with runners on first and third, Ryan muffed a throw from Chris Stewart on an attempted steal of second by Xander Bogaerts, allowing Saltalamacchia to score from third and Bogaerts, who had stopped in the baseline, to scamper into second ahead of Ryan's tag after he finally picked up the ball.
Plunked out: Nova's final act of the night was hitting Mike Carp in the leg with an 0-2 curveball with the bases loaded to force in Boston's fifth run. As the ball bounded away, catcher Stewart's reaction -- a plaintive glance heavenward as if pleading for divine intervention -- was priceless.
Scratch that Ich: The Red Sox took a reasonably close 5-1 game and busted it open in the sixth with a big assist from Suzuki, who misread Bogaerts' fly to right, headed for the wall, and then frantically tried to scamper back in as the ball landed 10 feet in front of him for a leadoff double instead of the out it should have been. From there, the wheels rapidly came off. Adam Warren gave up an RBI single to Nava, and then lefty Cesar Cabral came in to face Ortiz, who singled in another run to make it a 7-1 game.
Double your pleasure: The Yankees hit into three double plays -- two on batters first-pitch swinging -- despite the wildness of Buchholz.
Gettin' Ziggy wit it: Mike Zagurski, a somewhat rotund left-handed reliever, became the franchise-record 56th player to appear in a Yankees game when Girardi brought him in with one out in the seventh, although it turned out to be a brief appearance. Zagurski got one out but allowed a single to Bogaerts and hit Jackie Bradley Jr. with a pitch, prompting Girardi to come out and collect him. Worst of all, both the runners came around to score when David Phelps gave up a two-run double to Dustin Pedroia, leaving Zagurski with an ERA of 54.00.
What's next: A much-needed day off, followed by the opener of a three-game series against the Blue Jays in Toronto starting on Tuesday night. Pitching matchups: Andy Pettitte vs. RHP R.A. Dickey on Tuesday, Phil Hughes vs. LHP J.A. Happ on Wednesday and Hiroki Kuroda vs. RHP Todd Redmond on Thursday. All games are at 7:07 p.m.

Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris Picture: GALFACTS Collaboration
Synchrotron Physics (Galactic) Component separation for foregrounds What can COrE tell us that we don't know already from WMAP and Planck? Current ground-based work What about extragalactic low-frequency sources (AGN)? Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Cosmic ray leptons (electrons, mostly) › Origin › Propagation › Distribution Magnetic Fields (at source) › Structure Coherent/Ordered/Random › Intensity Propagation effects › Faraday Rotation › Free-free absorption Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Supernova remnants prominent in Galactic synchrotron emission Strong shocks Pulsar winds Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
First-order Fermi (e.g. Bell 1978): › N(E) E −s, I − , s = 2 +1 › s = (r+2)/(r − 1) › r = 4 for strong adiabatic shock: s = 2, = 0.5 › r 2, > 0.5 › r = 7 relativistic shock s = 4/3, = 0.167 (Test particle) Complicated (CR-dominated) › r >> 4 cooling shock but fast particles don't see this compression ratio Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
VLA (Dyer et al 2009) Chandra (NASA/CXC)
Shock front Radio-X-ray: › = 0.50 0.02 › Decourchelle et al (2011) X-ray synchrotron = 1.5 › Cutoff in spectrum just below X-ray band › Highest-energy electrons ~ 100 TeV Thin shock suggests r > 4 Barrel shape: › Efficient acceleration at parallel shocks? Contrary to Bell model! SN1006 has radial B-field Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Significant variation in SNR spectral indices Pulsar Wind nebulae flatter, e.g. Crab = 0.3 Balance between steepening spectrum of old material and injection of new material: › Young SNR (+radio SN) have steeper spectra. Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Low sensitivity in WMAP data at λ < 1.3 cm gives limited sky coverage Note flat spectrum for Crab nebula Mean β P ≈ −3.0 › Slightly flatter than at lower frequencies. (−3.1 in same regions) Kogut et al (2007) claim detection of flattening from β P ≈ −3.2 to −3.0 from WMAP data alone… › Use smoothing from 7° to 18° › No allowance for pol. bias at 23 GHz: artifact? Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris (3-year WMAP data)
External galaxies show SR most intense in spiral arms (M51 extreme case) Highest fractional polarization in interarms › Field more ordered Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Milky Way also has distinct radio spiral arms Consistent with arms in NE2001 model. Cosmic ray analysis suggests CRs very smoothly distributed › e.g. Fermi: outer galaxy ≈ constant density Major variation in B-field Hammurabi code › Waelkens, Jaffe et al. › Sun et al (2008) › Jaffe et al (2010) Fit: › 408 MHz I › 23 GHz p Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris NE2001 electron density contours
Hammurabi model: B: 2 3 7 G › Jaffe et al (2010,2011) Yet another wrinkle: › Laing (1980) › Not included in published Hammurabi analyses › too poorly constrained Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Ambient spectrum of CRs in ISM is steady state between injection & loss › radiative, diffusive, convective Direct measurement in good agreement with inferred spectrum from synchrotron emission (B ~ 6 G) Detailed modelling suggests injection spectrum with several breaks, very hard at low frequency (s ~ 1.6) C.f. Orlando, Strong & Jaffe (2011) Jaffe et al 2011: E 3 scaling GALPROP prediction fitted to synchrotron data vs local e − spectrum. Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
408 MHz I + 23 GHz P Minimum intensity at mid latitudes Synchrotron monopole: › Cosec|b|fit to Haslam map: zero level = 9.8 K (N), 10.1 K (S) › But already zeroed to 3 K › Would give negative intensity at faintest points › cf ARCADE2 Isotropic component! › Local bubble or halo? Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
On large scale mostly dominated by coherent structures › Loops (local) › Fan (c. 1 kpc) › SNRs Not a lot of scope for meaningful statistical analysis › higher resolution needed!
Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris Only Loop I and top half of Loop III clear ???? ?
Polarization well organized across NGP Fractional polarization low outside Spur: ~ 10% › Complex structure along LOS Field in Spur follows outside field › Bright rim effect? Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Needed to do foreground science as well as for CMB! Since Planck designed, Anomalous Microwave Emission discovered › Significant contributor 10-60 GHz › Quite variable spectrum, peak 20- 40 GHz Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Synchro Free-free Spinning dust Thermal dust CMB RMS @ 1° resolution Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
rms Q,U @ 1° E B, r = 0.1 3.4% anomalous dust 10% thermal dust artefacts at 100 & 217 GHz from CO lines QUIJOTE
Planck, after subtraction of templates for all major components NB: template fit pretty good! ESA press release Feb 2012 Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris Fermi, E > 10 GeV NASA press release Jan 2012
Existence of "haze" conclusively demonstrated Interpretation: › Two components, = 0.5 and = 1 Implicit in template method › Region with single unusual = 0.7 › Very hard to distinguish without ultra-precise measurements › Illustration assumes 2% errors for WMAP/Planck, except at > 50 GHz › Actual errors dominated by residuals from other foregrounds Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Synchrotron spectra are very smooth › Monoenergetic kernel › Nearly power-law electron distribution Similarly › free-free › Spinning dust › Thermal dust Synchrotron spectrum of mono- energetic electrons Black body Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Power law is just an approximation… …but a good one The best- measured synchrotron sources are well fit by a 2 nd -order log-log polynomial over 2 decades of frequency Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Fermi shows electron spectrum really is smooth NB: Emission frequency E Stay tuned for AMS2 results Departures from power law expected at high E where propagtion time from nearest source ~ radiative lifetime ~50 TeV? Optical band! Assumes 6 G Jaffe et al (2011)
More frequencies: › Maybe we will have more frequency points than parameters to fit! Better-defined frequencies because bands are narrower › Including significantly smaller colour correction › Hopefully more resources devoted to getting accurate bands in pre-launch calibration High sensitivity: component discrimination depends on differences between adjacent bands › Easy to run out of SNR › Especially if bands are close together BUT fundamentally, with all components smooth, subdividing bands rapidly stops giving new information Very likely CMB+AME+Synch + Free-Free + dust is fundamentally ambiguous NB: monopole uncertainty doesn't help. Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Many surveys exist but quality uneven › Strong et al (2011) for an up-to-date list Complications: › Below 300 MHz: free- free absorption, especially in the plane › Above 1 GHz: free- free emission › Below 5 GHz Faraday rotation › Above 10 GHz: AME Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris Guzmán et al 2011
Dipole arrays › Japan (Maeda et al 1999) › Chile (Alvarez et al 1997) Merged map Guzmán et al (2011) Spectral index vs 408 MHz Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Replacement for DRAO/Villa Elisa 21 cm survey Fully sampled, 30′ beam 1.3 -1.8 GHz 2048 channels › for RM Synthesis I as well as Q U South from Parkes › STAPS (PI Haverkorn) Also 'low' band: 300 - 900 MHz. Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris Wolleben et al (2010, ApJL)

QUI JOint TEnerife experiment 11-30 GHz Telescope recently installed on Teide Aim to map ~ ¼ of sky at 15 GHz in full polarization Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Prior to WMAP, there were no large-area surveys from 6 cm to 100 m Previously, pioneering this much new territory has yield unexpected phenomena › quasars, pulsars, X-ray binaries, Gamma-ray bursts, ULIRGs… But WMAP and Planck LFI ERCSC show only expected blazar-type AGN HFI point sources are also the expected SMGs Deeper surveys @ < 70 GHz with COrE-sized telescope will rapidly hit the confusion limit › LFI close to confusion at 30 GHz Ground-based surveys already far deeper › and SKA is coming… Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Old questions: › What is the central engine? › How does it make relativistic jets? › How do jets propagate to Mpc scales? › How does the AGN population evolve cosmologically? New questions › What do AGN do to their environment? › Regulate cluster cooling? › Provide entropy floor? › Use as Faraday probes to study growth of cosmic magnetic fields Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Guidetta et al (2011) Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
Radio/X-ray interactions to probe dynamics VLBI movies to probe dynamics Variability Large samples for statistics/rare cases Polarization structure and wavelength- dependence to probe local and line-of- sight Faraday rotation › Must be spatially resolved! Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
ALMA JVLA GBT Meerkat / SKA LMT ASKAP
Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris
COrE features: › many bands, high sensitivity, narrow(er) bands will all help untangle low frequency foregrounds › If frequency coverage extends 100 GHz › …and we avoid spectral lines! BUT problem is fundamentally insoluable: not clear whether approximate solutions can be good enough to give interasting astrophysics. COrE band is not of critical interest for synchrotron radiation COrE measurements of AGN are not competitive with ground-based instruments. Beyond COrE Workshop, Paris

EdNovo, a nonprofit started by Prasad Ram, formerly head of Google's R&D group in India, is starting to share the "alpha" of its free search tool for teachers, Gooru. The effort is still spankin' new: as recently as this past spring, "Pram" was still working at home on the code and whipping up cappuccinos in his kitchen for the occasional visitor.

Conflicting appeals court decisions on health premium subsidies
create additional uncertainty for all stakeholders
WASHINGTON, DC "Today's conflicting rulings by two separate courts of appeals on whether premium subsidies are available in federally-run insurance exchanges inject enormous uncertainty into implementation of the health care law and raises intriguing questions about its future," Council President James A. Klein said.
The 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) does provide for subsidies in the 36 states where exchanges are operated by the federal government. But the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit concluded that participants in federally run exchanges are not eligible for tax credits when they purchase a plan to meet their coverage requirement. "Since millions of people have been relying on the legality of the subsidies, the real wild-card today is the D.C. Circuit Court decision. Ultimately, this issue seems destined for the U.S. Supreme Court. In the meantime, there is a temporary stay on the D.C. Circuit Court decision, so people currently receiving subsidies will continue to receive them, at least for a while," noted Klein.
The possibility that participants in federal exchanges may not be eligible for premium tax credit subsidies raises numerous questions about future implementation of PPACA. These include:
What actions might Congress take? "While some Congressional Democrats may seek legislation to clarify that subsidies are available in the federal exchanges, other Democrats may take the position that the law already allows it and no further legislation is needed. In any case, Congressional Republicans certainly would seek to block such legislation or pursue efforts to invalidate other elements of the law," said Klein.
What actions might the regulatory agencies take ? "The Obama Administration may conclude that delaying certain requirements for individuals, employers or other stakeholders is needed if judicial clarity is not forthcoming," noted Klein.
How will the states react? "Individuals are legally required to obtain coverage. Some states may feel pressure to establish their own exchange to ensure their citizens receive subsidies. Ironically, some states currently operating exchanges have contemplated opting for the federal exchange. Some states may also decide to expand Medicaid eligibility so that low income individuals will get some federal financial assistance. It is equally possible that other states will view the current uncertainty as a reason to hold back from making decisions," added Klein.
What does this mean for individuals? "If the lack of subsidy means that coverage is unaffordable for some people, those individuals may be exempt from the individual mandate penalty and may forego coverage. If healthy people do not participate in the exchanges the cost of coverage for those that do will rise," Klein pointed out.
What does this mean for employers? "Since the employer mandate penalty is triggered when employees receive a subsidy, some employers may be relieved of penalties, or may have different levels of penalties, depending on which states their workers reside. Also, some employers have considered whether their employees might be better served through steady coverage in exchanges, especially for workers that move from job to job. The lack of subsidies for workers in some states certainly would change the dynamics in that decision making.
"Uncertainty chills decision making. The courts need to quickly resolve this critical issue, one way or the other," Klein concluded.

This tarp saved my hardwood floor purchase.. I bought 120sqft of Bellawood White Oak flooring. While inside the store paying for my purchase the bottom decided to fall out of the sky and it started pouring rain. I got the tarp to cover my flooring in the back of my pickup and drove 53 miles to home without one square millimeter getting wet and the tarp looking as new as an hour earlier 53 miles at 70mph.. not one single fray.. I now use the tarp as an over head cover while working on projects my fincee has for me remodeling our house...

I have this in my kitchen, entry way and dining room. I have a small area rug by the sink - the floor has faded and left an "area rug" space that is a different color. My kitchen receives little to no natural light - it is a dark kitchen that I have to turn on lights when I go in. The floor is a year old ... if I take the rug up ( 2 x 3), then I take the chance of dripping water on the floor. Suggestions?1 answer
Please call our Tech & Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for help with this question. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
I am going back and forth between Schon and Bellawood. Is Bellawood that much better as far as durability since it has a thicker veneer?1 answer

I just bought this Koa and per the sales person this product will not scratch real easy, is this true? wish I would have investigated a little more about this product, but hoping thr people who I bought this from were honest enough to tell me all about this flooring-thanks dave1 answer
Wood floors like furniture will scratch and dent if not properly protected. It is recommended to use felt furniture pads under the furniture legs. Pet nails should be kept trimmed and sharp objects (including high heels) kept off the floor. Often scratches can be adequately repaired using liquid scratch covers. Dents and nicks can be filled using wood floor repair kits available at your local home store. Many dog scratches can be prevented by covering their nails with vinyl claw covers. If your floor is severely damaged please consult a professional about refinishing or an individual board replacement may be all that's needed. Scuffs can often be removed by rubbing the spot with mineral spirits on a cloth rag. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
We have 1,500 SF of this product that was installed this last summer. We pulled one 9x12 Persian carpet up for cleaning and the floor was very light in color compared to the exposed part. There is some sun exposure but not much. After a week I see that the area where the rug was is slightly darker than before. Will this area match the rest soon ? Seems the dye faded very quickly1 answer
Color change from UV Light exposure is normal with natural wood flooring. Stained flooring can be better because of the colored stain will provide more of a uniformity and lasting color. Natural color flooring on the other hand will change with age and exposure to UV light. These changes will even out with time but can be very apparent in the first months to year or so. Generally lighter colored woods can darken and darker woods lighten. Occasionally rotating rugs and furniture is recommended.
