The typical environment for real-time applications built using Simulink Real-Time consists of a development computer, Speedgoat target computer hardware, and your physical system, also called the hardware under test.
The development computer runs Simulink Real-Time plus a C compiler, and the required products MATLAB, MATLAB Coder™, Simulink, and Simulink Coder™.
The CPU of the target computer hardware runs the Simulink Real-Time kernel with its microsecond granularity and support for concurrent execution. You connect the development computer to the target computer hardware via a direct (private local point-to-point network) or an indirect (LAN or WAN switched network) Ethernet link using the TCP/IP protocol. You connect the target computer hardware I/O and protocol interfaces to your physical system (the hardware under test).
Once you have set up this environment, you can create real-time applications from Simulink models on the development computer and download the real-time application onto the target computer system via the Ethernet link. After this application is downloaded, you can:
For real-time simulation and testing, you use Simulink Real-Time with a dedicated Speedgoat target computer system with CPU, I/O, and protocol interface hardware.
Speedgoat provides ready-to-use configurations, from which you can select a real-time target machine and I/O modules that meet your performance and I/O and protocol interface requirements.
Speedgoat offers a variety of form factors and I/O, protocol, and FPGA modules suitable for desktop, lab, or field use.
A Speedgoat target computer system is complete and ready to be connected to your development computer. It comes fully assembled with:
Simulink Real-Time and Speedgoat target computer hardware support a comprehensive selection of I/O and protocol interfaces.
A Simulink model forms the basis of the real-time application you create with Simulink Real-Time. The model can contain any block from the Simulink library for which Simulink Coder can generate C code, blocks from products such as Stateflow®, Simscape™, and related system toolboxes, and user code or third-party code in form of C code S-function blocks.
Before initiating the build process for a real-time application, you update your Simulink model by selecting a fixed-step solver and choosing Simulink Real-Time as the target environment. You then extend your Simulink model with driver blocks from either the Simulink Real-Time block library or the Speedgoat block library provided with each Speedgoat target computer system. You then make signal connections between these driver blocks and other blocks in your model. You then initiate the real-time application build. The build process automatically downloads the generated real-time application via the Ethernet link onto your target computer system.
Simulink Real-Time shows the status of the downloaded real-time application via its high-resolution target display. You can monitor the running real-time application and view signal values and traces.
Simulink Real-Time provides two ways to control the real-time application on the Speedgoat target computer. The Simulink Real-Time Explorer lets you define and manage target computer hardware, download real-time applications, and control real-time applications, including starting, stopping, or changing the fundamental sample time and displaying and retrieving status data on those runs.
Alternatively, you can use the MATLAB functions and objects in Simulink Real-Time to manage and control real-time applications via the MATLAB command line or within scripts and MATLAB files. To access the target computer system and control real-time applications from outside MATLAB, you can use the C API or .NET API.
You can use Simulink Real-Time Explorer to tune parameters and display or log signals of interest. Performing this instrumentation at runtime does not require a rebuild of the real-time application from the Simulink model.
You can tune scalar, vector, or matrix parameters and view signal values as numbers or as time-stamped traces using Simulink Real-Time scopes. You can identify parameters to tune or signals to observe either by navigating the model hierarchy or via preconfigured groups.
Simulink Real-Time Explorer lets you design and run graphical instrument panels. You select graphical elements such as knobs, sliders, and angular dials and gauges from the Instruments palette, and drag and drop them onto your panels. You make connections between each instrument and your real-time application by dragging parameters and signals from the model hierarchy window and dropping them onto the graphical controls and displays in your instrument panel. When you run an instrument panel, it interacts continuously with the real-time application and updates the associated parameters and signals.
Alternatively, you can instrument a real-time application via the MATLAB command line, either interactively or programmatically from scripts or MATLAB functions. You can use the Simulink Real-Time MATLAB functions and objects (for MATLAB applications) or the C and .NET APIs (for external executable programs).
Simulink Real-Time supports Simulink External Mode, enabling you to instrument real-time applications directly from the Simulink model from which the real-time application was built.
You can create high-performance real-time applications by using concurrent execution. Concurrent execution enables you to run more code within a specified sample time. It leverages the concurrent execution capabilities of Simulink, the code generated by Simulink Coder, the Simulink Real-Time kernel, and the multicore target hardware. With concurrent execution, there is no change to the overall dynamic behavior of a Simulink model and resulting real-time application when compared to their nonconcurrent execution.
Simulink Real-Time supports Simulink concurrent execution capabilities, such as multitasking execution of multirate systems and concurrent task modeling.
Real-time applications created from multirate Simulink models include concurrent-safe code, and can be executed on a multicore system to improve performance. For finer control, you can partition your model using referenced models and map these partitions to tasks in the generated code. This mapping definition and the resulting code enable you to divide subsystems with a single rate among tasks.
With Simulink Real-Time, the code generated and compiled for the real-time application is automatically distributed among the CPU cores available on your Speedgoat target computer system.
The Simulink Real-Time kernel can run models configured in the modes described above, both on single-core and multicore Speedgoat target computer systems. No additional Simulink Real-Time kernel configuration is required to run a multitasking model or one configured for concurrent execution. These applications can be executed in the same way as any other real-time application.
The Simulink Real-Time kernel executing the real-time application uses hardware resources provided by the Speedgoat target computer system, including a multicore CPU, advanced interrupt controller and chipset, and shared multilevel cache handling.
You can equip a Speedgoat target computer system with FPGA plug-in modules via its available PCI expansion bus slots. With Simulink Real-Time, you can leverage the FPGA's capability to run HDL code as hardware and the capability of HDL Coder to generate HDL code from Simulink models. This combination enables you to use FPGA plug-in modules in target computer systems as an additional resource for concurrent execution.
Simulink Real-Time supports the use of multiple target computers connected to the development computer via an Ethernet network switch. Each target computer can execute a separate real-time application generated from a separate Simulink model. You define data communication and synchronization schemes in your Simulink models using I/O and protocol interface driver blocks representing target hardware, such as shared or reflective memory, real-time UDP, CAN, EtherCAT, and FlexRay.
Simulink Real-Time enables you to create standalone real-time applications for permanent installation on the target computer. As a result, you can use Simulink Real-Time during the design phase and the distribution phase of your project.
Early in the design phase, your development computer is usually permanently connected to the Speedgoat target computer via the Ethernet link to enable the continuous creation, downloading, and instrumentation of real-time applications. While this setup offers flexibility and allows for rapid iteration, it requires the presence of a development computer running MATLAB.
Later, you can create a standalone real-time application with an integrated Simulink Real-Time kernel. When the target computer is turned on, the real-time application starts executing automatically, enabling the permanent operation of an HIL simulator and the distribution of your real-time applications.
In standalone operation, the target display provides visual feedback on the status of the running real-time application, including displaying signal traces you may have configured.
You can connect your development computer to the target computer system at any time to control and instrument the running real-time application. Disconnecting the development computer does not affect the running real-time application.
You can use the C and .NET APIs in Simulink Real-Time to create your own Windows applications to access, control, and instrument real-time applications running on one or multiple target computers connected via Ethernet.
You can provide royalty-free distribution of your standalone real-time applications and associated Windows applications that use the Simulink Real-Time APIs.
Simulink Real-Time lets you leverage powerful FPGA hardware in the target computer system for specialized reconfigurable I/O or algorithm acceleration of parts of your real-time application.
Reconfigurable FPGA I/O modules from Speedgoat are available at various performance levels, such as Virtex-II, Spartan-6, Virtex-6, and Kintex-7 from Xilinx.
To bypass the bandwidth limitation of the PCI bus for the high clock rates typical of an FPGA implementation, the available FPGA I/O modules include their own local I/O, including digital and analog input and output channels. This local I/O is either an integral part of the module or it can be added as a plug-on module.
You don't need to have specific FPGA, HDL, or synthesizing tool knowledge to use an FPGA I/O module as reconfigurable I/O. Speedgoat offers predefined FPGA code modules for specialized I/O, such as absolute encoder protocols, three-phase PWM, I2C, and SPI, which can be custom-combined in a bitstream programming the FPGA. The Simulink driver block library associated with the bitstream enables you to drag and drop this I/O functionality into your Simulink model in the same way that you add static I/O functionality.
The Speedgoat driver block library for Simulink Real-Time supports pulse-width modulation, encoder measurement and simulation, serial protocols, synchronization, and general-purpose digital I/O.
Simulink Real-Time, together with HDL Coder, enables you to use the FPGA I/O module to accelerate parts of the real-time application. The concurrent execution capability of Simulink enables you to select one or multiple FPGA I/O modules in the HDL Workflow Advisor. For the real-time application build, you can then identify subsystems of your Simulink model to be handled by HDL code generation instead of C-code generation. This capability enables you to design and create real-time applications that can run on both the target computer system's CPU and the plugged-in FPGA I/O modules.

In case anyone thinks I'm exaggerating when I say I'm a person who works best at the last-minute, it is 5 minutes to 4 p.m. central time — i.e., 5 p.m. eastern — and I have just this second put the final touches on our manuscript, which was due today at, oh, 5 p.m. eastern time.
Okay, technically, our editor said we could turn it in on Monday, because she had a half day today anyway, but 5 p.m. on August 1 is the deadline I've thought I was working toward for the last five months, so 4:55 on August 1 is when I finished my half. This is how I work, y'all. I have already told Marianne that if there's another book, she and our editor should pick a just deadline together and tell me it's a month (or, I don't know, a year) earlier than that date, 'cause the chances of getting me to step it up any other way are pretty fucking slim at this point. Everyone should send Marianne lots of healing thoughts and dumb internet hugs to help soften the sting of having me for a co-author.
But holy motherfuckin' baby donuts, it's done. IT'S DONE!!!! Baby-flavored champagne all around!

Leadership Plan Approved
SALIBURY – At the Peninsula Regional Medical Center Board of Trustees meeting held this week, the Board unanimously approved the Executive Committee's recommendation to move forward with an executive leadership succession plan put in place five years ago.
According to Farouk Sultani, MD, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, "When Peggy Naleppa, Executive Vice President/COO, joined the organization it was felt that her credentials, experience and leadership qualities would eventually position her to succeed Alan Newberry, President/CEO, as the top executive of Peninsula Regional Medical Center and the Peninsula Regional Health System. Since that time Naleppa and Newberry have worked collaboratively in leading and managing the day-to-day operations as well as planning for the future of both organizations. Newberry has done an excellent job in preparing her to ascend to leadership and now, upon his recommendation, the Board is entering the next phase of a carefully planned succession period. We are fortunate to have an individual of Naleppa's caliber to continue Newberry's example of dedication and leadership during this exciting time in the history of both organizations."
In order to proceed with that plan and begin the formal transition of leadership for both the Peninsula Regional Medical Center and the Peninsula Regional Health System, the Board of Trustees unanimously elected Naleppa to become President/COO of Peninsula Regional Medical Center, effective Jan. 1, 2009. At that time, Newberry's title will remain CEO of Peninsula Regional Medical Center and President/CEO of the Peninsula Regional Health System. During this period, Naleppa will continue to report to Newberry until his planned retirement at the end of 2009. Effective Jan. 1, 2010, Naleppa will become President/CEO of both Peninsula Regional Medical Center and the Peninsula Regional Health System.
"The time is right for this process to begin. Peggy has outstanding qualifications as well as the confidence and support of the medical community, employees, volunteers and her peers in both organizations," said Newberry. "In January of 2009 this change will begin the seamless transition of leadership for our organizations and complete the process leading up to my retirement as CEO of Peninsula Regional Medical Center and President/CEO of the Peninsula Regional Health System."
As Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer for the past five years Naleppa has been an integral part of the leadership team guiding the day-to-day operations of the Medical Center, providing oversight of the $100 million dollar expansion project, service excellence and patient satisfaction initiatives and planning for the future of both organizations.

Re: Civil Code §§ 2923.52 and 2923.53
The People of The State of California vs. Countrywide et. al. LC093076
Petition for Writ of Mandamus
Dear Colleagues and Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr:
As you are aware, my office represents homeowners caught up in the foreclosure crisis currently occurring in the California housing market.
You may recall that my office sought your assistance in the matter of Mabry vs. Aurora Loan Services. Wherein the 4th Appellate District Division Three acknowledged a private right of action to prevent foreclosures on a citizen's primary residence, when the bank and/or mortgage holder has not complied with Civil Code § 2923.5. However, your office opted not to participated in what I believe was a landmark decision for homeowners in the battle against foreclosure prevention here in California.
Notwithstanding the Stipulated Judgment and Injunction that your office had obtained against Countrywide/Bank of America in the above referenced case, Bank of America filed an Amicus Curia Brief in the Mabry action espousing no private right of action and no obligation to modify distressed loans.
I am fully aware, grateful and commend your office for its attempts to crackdown on loan modification schemes that have swindled millions of dollars out of frightened and frustrated homeowners. Some homeowners who were and still are willing to believe against all logic or reason that the companies, whom practiced such schemes, could actually get the mortgage holder to give them some sort of State or Federal assistance that could prevent the losing of their homes and becoming homeless.
I further commend your office for its 2008 lawsuit against then Countrywide Financial, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., and Spectrum Lending, Inc., who are now commonly referred to as Bank of America N.A. and BAC Home Loans (BAC). An action which ultimately resulted in the successful acquiring of a Stipulated Judgment and Injunction against (BAC) on October 14, 2008.
The BAC lawsuit's primary focus was on the predatory lending practices of the Defendants. The Stipulated Judgment and Injunction provides a remedy that creates yet another avenue for BAC borrowers to find relief and even the possibility of preventing the loss of their homes. The loss of a home is a threat that is ever too common, albeit avoidable with help from BAC, for numerous California BAC borrowers in this foreclosure crisis.
I wish this letter could end here or at least continue to praise your efforts and accomplishments as the present Attorney General of California. However, unfortunately, it must now turn to the present state of affairs and your lack of aggressiveness in the pursuit against the foe you identified and successfully prosecuted in the People vs. Countrywide, et.al. action.
I believe judgment obtained against BAC was merely the tip of the iceberg. You may or may not be aware that IndyMac Bank, now OneWest Bank, has been sued by their investors for providing false and misleading appraisals along with committing many underwriting violations, which gave thousands of Californians their present unconscionable loans [a copy of the court's opinion is attached for your edification].
There are presently hearings scheduled on September 21, 2010 and September 22, 2010, that involve issues that would substantially curtail the foreclosures in California:
- September 22, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 68 of the Los Angeles Superior Court, Mabry vs. Preston Dufauchard, Commissioner For the California Dept of Corporations, Real Party in Interest Aurora Loan Services, LLC, Case No: BS 127903. Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
- The issue: Whether possessing a HAMP program equates as compliance with California Civil Code § 2923.53.
- September 21, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. at the California 4th Appellate Court Division Three Vuki vs. Superior Court of California, Orange County Case No: GO43533, Real Party in Interest HSBC. Oral Argument.
- The issue: Whether a bad faith compliance with Civil Code § 2923.53 makes the foreclosing beneficiary (HSBC) a bona fide purchaser pursuant to Civil Code §2923.54.
- September 21, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. at the California 4th Appellate Court Division Three Sanchez vs. Superior Court of California, Orange County Case No: G043300, Real Party in Interest Litton Loan Servicing LLC.. Oral Argument.
- The issue: Whether a fully executed and performed loan modification is terminated by the lender's inadvertent sale of the subject real property in lieu of Civil Code § 2923.54.
These decisions are being sought by my office to help clarify citizens' rights under the present Foreclosure Prevention Statutes.
My office has been very instrumental in not only the prosecution of these issues, on behalf of my clients, but all citizens of the State of California.
Unfortunately, the BAC Stipulated Judgment and Injunction does not provide a component for a private right of enforcement. Thus, with respect to possible violations by BAC, such Stipulated Judgment and Injunction can only be enforced by your office.
My office would love to step into your shoes and be granted permission and the rights to enforcement under the Stipulated Judgment and Injunctions. That way we may stop all the Countrywide loan foreclosures presently scheduled and being conducted in California until each
prior Countrywide and/or BAC California borrower is offered the benefits under the Stipulated Judgment and Injunction your office obtained.
I do not believe that you could or are able to assign such a right, but I make it as a gesture of sincerity as to my conviction and belief of the wrongdoings of BAC.
I ask that you immediately seek Court intervention enjoining all Countrywide and/or BAC foreclosures proceedings that fall within the auspices of the Stipulated Judgment/Injunction.
Alternatively, you leave my office no choice but to seek a Writ of Mandamus asking the Court to instruct you and your office on your obligations as Attorney General of our great State. I realize your business and acknowledge that this may not be your primary priority, but if I do not receive a response indicating your intent by September 17, 2010, I will deem you have no intent to respond, investigate this matter, or take other appropriate action and at that time will seek the Writ of Mandamus.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned paragraph, I wish you well on your campaign to return to the position of Governor of our great State.

Rangers' new AL West rival delivers opening blow
Harrison ties career high with nine strikeouts but allows six runs in loss
HOUSTON -- Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus went through something he has never experienced before as a Major League player. His team lost on Opening Day.
"Not good," Andrus said. "It's a different feeling that's for sure. It's just one game in a long season."
Maybe, but the Rangers had a four-game Opening Day winning streak come to an end with an 8-2 loss to the Astros on Sunday night at Minute Maid Park in the opening game of the 2013 Major League Baseball season.
Matt Harrison took the loss, allowing six runs (five earned) in 5 2/3 innings despite tying a career high with nine strikeouts. The big blow was a three-run home run in the sixth inning by pinch-hitter Rick Ankiel against Rangers reliever Derek Lowe. Astros starter Bud Norris pitched 5 2/3 innings to get the victory for new manager Bo Porter, who was the Rangers' Opening Day center fielder back in 2001.
It was the Astros' debut as an American League team.
"We did a few uncharacteristic things tonight, but we didn't beat ourselves ... they beat us," outfielder David Murphy said.
The Rangers' four-game winning streak on Opening Day all came at the Ballpark in Arlington. They have lost five straight times on Opening Day when playing on the road.
"One game, what can you do?" catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. "They played very well, give them credit. They were excited, home opener, national television, first game for the new manager, they wanted to win for him. It just didn't work out for us."
Harrison can at least say he did something that Nolan Ryan once did as a pitcher. Harrison is the fourth pitcher in the last 25 years to strike out at least nine batters on Opening Day and still take a loss. The other three were Ryan for the Rangers in 1991, Mike Mussina for the Orioles in 1998 and Roy Halladay for the Blue Jays in 2004.
"It was the opener, not the last game of the season," Harrison said. "You're not going to win or lose the division on the first game of the season, but it would have been nice to win the game."
Harrison looked sharp for three innings, allowing one hit and striking out five. He also retired Jose Altuve on a fly to center to start the fourth. Then Brett Wallace smacked a single up the middle and, after Chris Carter struck out, Carlos Pena bounced a hit through the left side. That put runners on first and second with two outs.
Justin Maxwell followed with a high fly ball that sent Murphy all the way back to the wall in left. Murphy tried to make a leaping catch, but the ball bounced off the top of the scoreboard attached to the wall. Murphy lost track of the carom, and by the time center fielder Leonys Martin tracked it down, Maxwell was heading for third with a two-run triple.
"That's a fly ball in most parks but we're not playing in most parks," Murphy said. "We're playing in Minute Maid. It was great hitting, the guy took advantage of the ballpark."
Harrison got out of that inning by getting Jason Castro on a grounder to first but ran into more trouble in the fifth after a one-out walk to Brandon Barnes. Ronny Cedeno, hitting at the bottom of the Astros' order, followed with a line-drive single to right, and Nelson Cruz fumbled the ball for an error. That allowed Castro to score and Cedeno went all the way to third.
"No excuses, I'm supposed to catch that ball," Cruz said. "It gave me a funny bounce, not the way I expected, but there are no excuses."
Cedeno scored on a single by Altuve to give the Astros a 4-0 lead. The Rangers got two back in the top of the sixth on a pair of two-out run-scoring singles by Murphy and Cruz. But left-hander Erik Bedard -- the Astros' fifth starter on temporary duty as a reliever - retired Pierzynski on a fly to center to end the inning.
Walks brought Harrison's night to an end. He walked Maxwell with one out and Matt Dominguez with two outs in the sixth, and manager Ron Washington brought in Lowe, a right-hander, to face Barnes.
"I put myself in a bad situation there," Harrison said. "The first walk to Maxwell didn't bother me, but you've got to be aggressive and make the swing the bat with two outs."
Porter countered with a left-handed bat off the bench and Ankiel hit a full-count pitch over the right-field wall for a three-run home run that broke the game open.
"You look at the early innings, I thought Harrison was in complete control," Washington said. "But they're an aggressive team and they played a pretty good game. They had eight and we had two. They shut us down."
That just hasn't happened in a while on Opening Day.

Yorkshire ensured a thrilling final day of the County Championship season awaits tomorrow after moving into a commanding position against Middlesex at Lord's.
Tim Bresnan's brilliant century ensured Yorkshire matched the bonus point tally of Somerset and meant that a victory at Lord's would clinch a third consecutive title. See all the updates from an enthralling third day below.
Middlesex v Yorkshire: Middlesex 270/10 (Gubbins 125, Brooks 6-65); 81-2; Yorkshire 390 (Tim Bresnan 142no)
Somerset v Nottinghamshire: Somerset 365 (C Rogers 132, J Hildreth 135); 313/5d, Notts 138; 215 0 Somerset won by 325 runs
Day three tea report: Tim Bresnan rescues White Rose title mission
Day two report: Bresnan leads defiant Yorkshire in pursuit of testing Lord's target
Day one report: Middlesex v Yorkshire: Ex-Leeds student Nick Gubbins poses questions for champions
Somerset - 226pts
Middlesex - 217pts
Yorkshire - 211pts
18.30 STUMPS! That's the close of an enthralling, and tense, day's play. Middlesex leave the field on 81-2. Yorkshire will be the happier of the two teams.
18.27 Middlesex 77-2 Two overs to go on day three. These two have now put on a three quarters of a century...
18.10 Middlesex 65-2 Gubbins and Malan continue to defy the Yorkshire attack as we move into the final five overs of day three.
17.38 Middlesex 44-2. Yorkshire still battling away with their seamers but Dawid Malan and Nick Gubbins have both made it into the 20s to halt the title charge. Meanwhile, Jason Gillespie has been on Sky Sports and said his side would much rather finish third knowing they had done everything they could to win, than close in second tomorrow defended their lead.
17.25 Middlesex 37-2. There's a big shout for a catch behind off Patterson's bowling, Gubbins the batsman, but it's turned down. The sun is still shining at Lord's and we could have another 45 minutes of play.
17.06 SOMERSET WIN! It's all over at Taunton, Somerset have won by 325 runs. That means Yorkshire must win this game at Lord's if they are to win the County Championships. Middlesex are 35-2.
16.50 There's a Yorkshireman holding up Somerset's victory charge at Taunton. And he goes by the name of Root, Billy Root. Joe's brother has a half century but his side are in big trouble at 195/8. Meanwhile, Middlesex are countering the new ball and have made their way to 26-2.
16.24 Somerset are doing all they can to apply the pressure to Yorkshire. They have Notts by the throats at Taunton and need three wickets to wrap up victory inside three days.
16.21 WICKET! Middlesex 2-2 Compton b Brooks 0
Boom, what a start this is for Yorkshire. It's a brilliant delivery by Yorkshire's star of the first innings Jack Brook. It nips back a touch and clips the top of off-stump.
16.10 WICKET! Middlesex 1-1 Robson ct Ballance b Sidebottom 0
A breakthrough! Robson gets a pair. Sidebottom bowls one across the right-hander and he nicks to third slip. Just the start Yorkshire wanted.
16.05 The players are out for the start of Middlesex's second innings. Ryan Sidebottom to open up.
15.48 WICKET! Yorkshire 390ao Sidebottom b Raynor 23
Sidebottom goes for a big one down the ground and the ball clatters into his middle stump. That's the end of a heroic, heroic effort by the White Rose. Yorkshire lead by 120 and are in the box seat in the title race. The players take tea.
15.44 Yorkshire 390-9. Tim Bresnan's advanced to 142, Sidebottom's up to 23. The lead is now 120.
15.24: Yorkshire 371-9. After the nerves of the bonus point, Yorkshire have a bit more freedom and Tim Bresnan smashes Raynor into the stands for six to move to 134.
15.16: @NWestbyYPSport tweets: "Three favourites in betting for #BBCSpoty Alistair Brownlee Tim Bresnan Ryan Sidebottom"
15.13 BONUS POINT! Get in, Yorkshire have scrambled over the 350 mark and are ahead of Somerset again. Ryan Sidebottom flicks Roland-Jones for four on the leg-side. If Yorkshire win this match, they win the Championship.
15.10 OOS and AHHS in the first over as Tim Bresnan plays out a maiden in the first over after the rain break. Yorkshire, still, 349-9
14.56 News from Lord's. Play will resume at 15.10.
14.14 In fairness to the umpires. They've made the right decision to get the players off the pitch. The covers are now on at Lord's as rain falls. How important is that first over back going to me.
14.03 BAD LIGHT! Well, can you believe it. The umpires haul the players off for bad light and now it's raining at Lord's. Yorkshire stranded on 349/9.
14.00 APPEAL - NOT OUT! Sidebottom is hit on the pads, with Yorkshire still needing one run. It's close, and looks out. So close. But the umpires says not out. Phew.
13.59 Yorkshrie 349-9: Bresnan clips one away into the leg side and Yorkshire need one run.
13.48 As if it wasn't tense enough for Yorkshire, there's a big grey cloud looming behind Lord's. Toby Roland-Jones, who has four wickets so far, is back into the attack.
13.45 Yorkshire 346-9 Bresnan flicks to the leg-side. One boundary needed. One boundary!!
13.43 Yorkshire 345-9 Two more added to the score. Five runs. Five runs...
13.34 Yorkshire 343-9 - 100 overs: Three runs off Steven Finn's over. Tim Bresnan retains the strike. Yorkshire need seven runs, from ten overs with a wicket in hand.
13.31 Yorkshire 340-9: Sidebottom sees off Tim Murtagh as Bresnan takes a single.
13.22 FOUR! Tim Bresnan bashes a four to take Yorkshire to 339/9 and 11 runs away. Ryan Sidebottom set to face Steven Finn...
13.12 WICKET! Yorkshire 334-9 Brooks ct Gubbins b Murtagh 0
Brooks lasts just four balls and chips Murtagh to mid-on. Tense. So very tense. Yorkshire NEED 16 more. Ryan Sidebottom in at 11.
13.08 Back underway at Lord's for the second session. Jack Brooks is in at number ten. He's got a first class average of 16.84. Yorkshire need 17 to get to 350... Play to your average.
12.28 WICKET and LUNCH! Yorkshire 333-8 Patterson ct Raynor b Finn 11
Just after slapping a four through the off-side, Patterson departs for 11 as he edges one to second slip. It brings an end to a good session for the White Rose, but they still need 17 runs to get to 350.
12.08 WICKET! Yorkshire 318-7 Rafiq b Murtagh 65.
The end of an excellent knock by off-spinner Azeem Rafiq. It came on the first ball after the umpires swapped the ball. Tim Murtagh bowled a clever off-cutter that went through Rafiq's attempted forward defensive. The off stump is on the ground. Yorkshire still need 32 to get to the magical 350 and now only have three wickets in hand.
11.53 SIX! That's what we like to see. Tim Murtagh bangs one in short, Rafiq hooks over fine leg and into the empty stand. Yorkshire 310-6.
11.48 It's fair to say that Yorkshire will need to win at Lord's to win the title. Somerset are romping ahead against Notts, 250/3 in their second innings. That's a lead of 478 with a day and a half to play.
11.45 OUCH! Azeem Rafiq is smacked on the head attempting to duck a bouncer from Roland-Jones. He's getting some attantion and sharing a smile with Bresnan. Tough cookie. Yorkshire 303-6
11.40 CENTURY! What. An. Innings. Tim Bresnan has been a stalwart at the crease all season for Yorkshire and he's done it in the biggest game of the season. A clip through the leg side brings him three figures, and a third batting bonus point for Yorkshire. Level on points with Somerset, now. However, another is needed as Somerset have had fewer defeats.
11.34 HALF CENTURY! Azeem Rafiq guides the ball through the slip cordon for four.
11.14 YORKSHIRE LEAD! It's almost playing second fiddle this morning - the actual game situation - as Yorkshire attempt to reach 350. But they've now passed Middlesex's total of 270 and Bresnan and Rafiq continue to score freely. Bresnan up to 93 not out. Rafiq on 46. Yorkshire 284-6
11.02 DROPPED! Yorkshire are riding their luck here. Rafiq slashes hard outside off stump against James Franklin and he's given a second lifeline of the morning as Ollie Raynor puts it down at second slip. Yorkshire 267-6
10.49 DROPPED! Steven Finn is going hammer and tong at the short stuff to Azeem Rafiq and it forces the off-spinner to try and upper cut. A third man is in place to take a simple catch, but no, the ball hits the floor. Nick Compton's shelled it. A lifeline. A much-needed lifeline.
10.45 Batting point! Runs flowing for Yorkshire in the first few overs and with three consecutive boundaries, Yorkshire have a second batting point to their name. Back to within one point of Somerset on the As it Stands table. Yorkshire 253-6
10.28: PLAY STARTS! Play is underway for the day at the 'Home of Cricket'. It's Steven Finn in charge of the ball and Azeem Rafiq on strike. The England bowler digs one in short and it hits Rafiq on the gloves and flies over the keeper for four runs. Yorkshire 239-6
10.15: We're all set for another enthralling day at Lord's. Tim Bresnan and Azeem Rafiq have a big job on their hands to guide Yorkshire up to the magical number of 350. That would keep them ahead of Somerset on bonus points - if they're level, the title heads to the south west - and then it would come down to securing victory on the final day tomorrow.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- In a blow to hopes for peace talks, the Taliban's reclusive leader warned Friday that a bilateral security pact allowing thousands of U.S. troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond the end of this year will mean more fighting. The Americans and NATO allies are winding down combat operations but want to leave a residual force to help train Afghan security forces and conduct counterterrorism operations amid fears government troops are ill-prepared to face a relentless insurgency and the security vacuum could pave the way for an al-Qaida resurgence in the country. President Barack Obama has announced he wants to leave nearly 10,000 Americans in Afghanistan for two more years. The Afghan government has agreed in principle to a security agreement that would allow them to stay but the deal has yet to be signed. Both candidates vying to replace outgoing President Hamid Karzai have promised to sign it, but they are locked in a dispute over election results.
Mullah Mohammad Omar called on the candidates not to sign the agreement. "We believe the war in Afghanistan will come to an end when all foreign invaders pull out of Afghanistan and a holy Islamic and independent regime prevails here. Presence of limited number of troops under whatever title it may be will mean continuation of occupation and the war," he said in a message issued ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday that marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The message was translated into Dari, Arabic, English and Pashto. Violence continued Friday. Taliban insurgents halted minibuses in the western province of Ghor, identified 14 Shiite Hazara passengers, including three women, bound their hands, then shot them dead by the side of the road, an official said. The buses were traveling from Kabul and carrying around 30 passengers, many who had gone to the capital to shop ahead of the holiday weekend, said the provincial governor, Sayed Anwar Rahmati. The dead included a couple who were engaged and two relatives travelling with them, Rahmati said, adding the other passengers were released. The Taliban, like other Sunni extremist groups, view the country's minority Shiite community as apostates, and have targeted Hazaras in the past with suicide bombings and other attacks. Mullah Omar's comments come as international forces already have largely moved to the background and let Afghan forces take the lead in the fighting, making it harder for the Taliban to argue that they are waging war against a foreign occupying force. Deadly attacks targeting Afghan policemen, soldiers and civilians have increased. The Taliban's one-eyed chief reiterated his support for assaults on government officials and troops who are cooperating with the U.S.-led coalition, but he called on followers to take measures to prevent civilian casualties and to be friendly toward ordinary people "to win their hearts and minds." He did not mention the peace process, which is virtually on hold anyway until the new president is chosen. The two candidates - former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah and former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai - are awaiting the results of an audit of all ballots cast after allegations of massive fraud in the June 14 runoff vote. Mullah Omar also condemned Israeli airstrikes that have killed hundreds of Palestinians as Israel fights Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of Afghan protesters took to the streets in Kabul on Friday to show solidarity with the Palestinians. They chanted slogans against Israel, the U.S. and the U.N., saying the world needs to do more to protect the innocent men and women of Gaza.

A kind of elibelinde design in the field?
Hello to all,
FIG 58 J.Huguet. 1466-1475. Consecration of St Augustin. MNAC. Barcelona.
I suppose the rug above is close to the one of your fig.58, isn't it Pierre?
Unfortunately, one can't be 100% sure about the field design.
Best regards,

Hi Yohann,
Indeed, the main border of your rug is almost identical with Huguet's. What a pity that the dear saint did not wish to step back a little. We could have enjoyed a little bit more of the field. On the saint's right side, one can notice a few knots which might belong to a small Holbein pattern. Do you agree?
I don't see clearly the eyebelinde motif though.
Does this border give us a hint about the origin of Huguet's rug? I don't think so. The attribution to Spain, for all I know, might have been influenced by the painter's nationality.
The extant rug in your post is, unless I err, attributed to western Anatolia, sixteenth or seventeenth century, right? This main border is indeed rare in extant rugs.
FIG 1 shows another quite similar version. Again its origin is claimed to be Anatolia.
FIG 1: Anatolia, sixteenth century, Walter B. Denny, Anatolian Carpets, page 89
Time for the 100% un-substantiated theory of the month: This border motif could be a much simplified version of a border pattern met on rugs of various origin, including Anatolia and Yomud Turkmen, as seen below:
FIG 2: Anatolia, fifteenth or sixteenth century, B. Balpinar & U Hirsch, Carpets, page 215.
FIG 3: Yomud khali, eighteenth century?

On Wednesday, Apple announced the iPhone 5. The new iPhone offers some incredible new improvements including the use of a new A6 processor. It has been widely rumored that Apple would increase the RAM in the new iPhone from 512MB to 1GB, but there wasn't any confirmation. The iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 both offer 512MB RAM.
iFan first posted confirmation that the iPhone 5 has 1GB of RAM based on the part numbers listed on the A6 chip itself. After a bit of research, iFixit was also able to confirm their findings, using Samsung's own product guides. The chart shown below is from Samsung's 2012 Product Solutions Guide (PDF) which lists part numbers of various memory parts they have for sale.
The part numbers of the iPhone 5's A6 match with the group of 8 Gigabit mobile DRAMs which translates into 1GB of RAM.

Walnut Cutting Board - Medium
This walnut cutting board is made entirely of walnut from Northeast Ohio. It is a very dark brown -- I hope the pictures I have taken do it justice because it is a very rich looking board.
There are pictures of both sides of this board. It is important to take pictures of both sides because they often look completely different!
It measures 8 in. X 12 in. X 1 1/2 in. thick. It weighs about 3 1/2 pounds.
This wooden cutting board will make a great gift for yourself, a housewarming gift, or a wedding gift.
This walnut board is conditioned with a butcher block conditioner made of food grade mineral oil and natural waxes. Whether you intend it to be a cheese board, a bread board, or for some other use, it is ready to use the moment you receive it.
A great companion for your walnut cutting board would be a wooden bread knife. By itself the wooden bread knife is $25-$27, but when combined with this board it is only $20-$22. This wooden bread knife will help you cut some wonderfully straight slices of bread! For more information about it, please look at the Bread Knives section of the shop.
Don't forget that it is a reversible board. Both sides have been conditioned for use.
The cutting board that you see pictured here is the exact one you will get. They are all so different that it wouldn't be right for me to pick one out for you! There are other walnut boards listed, so be sure to take a look at the others before you pick!
If you have any questions about this walnut cutting board, feel free to email us!

Alright everyone, if you could name one food (let's leave drinks outta this one) that you could not live without, what'd it be, and why?
For me, it is definitely green chile. It is quite simply a wonderful food, and no salsa is complete without it, and no hamburger deserves to be eaten without it. (Incidentally, a friend informed me that there is a chemical in green chile which may be addictive... go figure.)

MARC & SONS diver watch PROFESSIONAL MOD BGW9 MSD-028-13S
Waterproofness of your watch
100 bar ≈ 100 ATM (≈ 1000 m)
The watch is tested for water tightness up to 100 bar. This corresponds to the pressure of an assumed water column of 1000 meters. The watch is suitable for daily use as well as professional diving sport.
Information about the used luminous material
The illuminant used is called Superluminova BGW9. Superluminova BGW9 has a white color in daylight. In the dark, the elements are colored to a light blue hue. The luminosity is about 95 percent in direct comparison with Superluminova C3. Superluminova BGW9´s luminosity is superior to that of Superluminova C1 and Superluminova C3.
Information about the movement SII NH35
The caliber SII NH35 is a robust and very reliable mechanical movement, which works on the basis of the legendary Seiko 7S26 caliber. It has a hand lift and a second stop. The range deviation is indicated as -20 to + 40 seconds per day. According to experience, however, the work runs much more precisely, in some cases with a deviation in the single-digit second range. Furthermore, the plant has a date-short-circuit. The reserve is 41 hours.
Informationen about a Ceramic bezel
A ceramic base is a component consisting of a so-called technical ceramic, which has recently gained in importance in the watch industry. These beads are pressed under high pressure and fired at above 1400 ° C. This makes the strings extremely resistant, resistant and scratch-resistant. Its silky sheen is obtained by polishing the diamonds after production. An additional feature is the processing of Superluminova BGW9 on the ceramic element.
Informationen about sapphire crystal
Visually, there is hardly any difference between a sapphire crystal and a mineral glass. The specific material properties are considered, large differences can be observed. In contrast to the mineral glass, which resembles the quartz in its chemical structure, the sapphire glass is made synthetically and consists of high-purity aluminum oxide. A sapphire glass has a hardness of nine, which corresponds exactly to that of the natural precious stone sapphire, from which the name for the glass was derived. Mineral glasses have only degrees of hardness of six to seven. Due to the material properties, sapphire glass is extremely resistant, scratch-resistant and is also particularly resistant to breakage. Despite heavy usage a sapphire glass still looks like after the first day.

Perez's second straight shutout helps Rangers sweep A's
With the Texas rotation ravaged by injuries early in the season, Martin Perez has more than filled the void.
Perez pitched his second consecutive shutout to extend his scoreless innings streak to 26 and the Texas Rangers wrapped up a three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics with a 3-0 victory Wednesday.
"He's been the glue," manager Ron Washington said. "He's held it together. He's the one guy in that rotation who's been in it from last year who hasn't had a blip yet."
The Rangers have been without Yu Darvish, Matt Harrison and Colby Lewis already at times this season but still find themselves in first place thanks to some strong play from fill-ins and major improvement from Perez.
Perez (4-0) outpitched Sonny Gray (3-1) in a heralded matchup of emerging stars, allowing just three hits and two walks in his first start since throwing a three-hitter against the White Sox for his first career shutout.
"I don't want to think too much about my ERA and the games that I've thrown before," Perez said. "I'm going to focus on my game today. We had a great game."
Perez, who also threw eight scoreless innings against Houston on April 13, is the first Rangers pitcher to have three straight scoreless starts since Kenny Rogers had four straight over 30 innings in 2005. Perez also joined Charlie Hough in 1983 as the only Texas pitchers to have three straight starts of at least eight scoreless innings.
"He knows how to pitch," Washington said. "He has weapons and he can throw them all for strikes and he has poise. He does a great job of staying with the game plan and that's something that he's learned from last year, how to study, how to go out there and just execute his pitches."
Donnie Murphy homered and Michael Choice scored one run and drove in another for the Rangers, who moved a half-game ahead of Oakland in the AL West with their first sweep of the A's since August 2011.
The A's never even threatened Perez on their way to getting swept at home for the first time since September 2012 against the Angels, ending a streak of 32 straight home series with at least one win.
"You're going to have your little lumps in the road," A's third baseman Josh Donaldson said. "Everybody knows that here. We just have to come back."
Oakland got leadoff singles from Jed Lowrie in the fourth and Derek Norris in the fifth for its first two hits off Perez. But Perez followed each of those hits by getting the next batter to hit into a double play, giving him a major league-leading 11 ground-ball double plays.
Donaldson doubled with one out in the seventh but was stranded there when Alberto Callaspo grounded out with runners on first and second to end the inning.
"He keeps the ball off the barrel of the bat," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He's pitched really well this year. The reason he can get deep in games is he's not striking a lot of guys out, he's just keeping it off the barrel of the bat."
Gray allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings to end a six-game winning streak in the regular season dating to last September.
He fell behind when Choice led the game off with a walk and scored on Alex Rios' triple. The Rangers were poised for a possible big inning when Rios was originally ruled safe at home on a grounder Lowrie at shortstop. But Melvin challenged the call and Rios was ruled out on instant replay.
Choice, traded from Oakland to Texas in the offseason, added an RBI single in the fifth and Murphy hit his first homer of the season in the sixth to make it 3-0.
NOTES: Rangers 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff was held out with a sore back. . . . Scott Kazmir (2-0) will take the mound against Brett Oberholtzer (0-3) on Thursday when Oakland opens a four-game series in Houston. . . . Texas is off Thursday before beginning a three-game series in Seattle on Friday.

- Easily used by ships maintenance staff right out of the box.
- Instant indication of condition for motor bearings, gears, compressors, slewing rings, hoists, winches...
- Plan maintenance and have the spares available on time. Minimise off-hire and demurrage.
Used Oil Analysis - In one year of continuous operation, the average piston ring of an engine, journal or roller of a bearing travels a distance equivalent to 5-10 times round the world. In this feat, metal surfaces are separated from destruction by an oil film only a few microns thick. It pays to look after your oil. In-service or Used Oil testing equipment and sampling systems. On-Board, In-Line, On-Site and Off-Site solutions for a wide variety of lube and grease parameters. Sampling systems through to full sample programme logistics.
Bunker Fuel - Marine or bunker fuel is a large cost consideration in operation of a ship or power plant. Proper care to check the quantity delivered is as ordered and during use to check that the quality is acceptable, will pay huge dividends. An off-spec fuel in terms of density or water content is a direct financial loss. In terms of comptability or cat fines, it could and often will wreck your engines. Look here for answers to how this can be achieved in reality. Rugged sampling, sample storage and test equipment plus comprehensive guidance on bunkering procedures.
Wear Metals - Any mechanical system will produce a constant stream of wear metal particles and this is a perfectly normal facet of operation. The rate of production, particle type and distribution, shape and origin can predict a comprehensive story about the future reliability of your assetts. We make On-Line and On-Site instruments with industry leading sensitivity to provide the very earliest warning of wear and to track that wear maximising the life you can achieve from system. Very many industrial Used Oil Analysis laboratories rely on our products from reporting PQ and PPM in their sample throughput.

We have, by far, the largest installed user base for the developing marine engine exhaust scrubbing industry and have suppled every thermal solar energy plant installed in the last 3 years. Three soundbites illustrating why you should consider Procal In-Situ CEMS solutions for your emissions compliance requirement. Simple, rugged, proven and reliable solutions for emissions monitoring using IR and UV technologies.
AE & Vibration - Vibration Analysis (VA) is a recognised and widely used monitoring technique. Its application requires a high skill level and can be challenging for all but the most expensive plant and equipment. Holroyd MHC technology takes the advantages of VA and delivers them in an economic way that requires much less operator training yet still achieves effective and timely results. It will also effectively monitor beyond the capabilities of trditional VA, having options for very slow speeds and stop start operation. Skeptical? Look here to find a comprehensive range of equipment and detailed case histories spanning the last 20 years of field use.
Other - This section is a catch-all for products we have that do not fit with the categories above. For example, marine water potable water and sewage effluent testing to ensure continued legislative compliance and sucessful Port State Inspection of your vessels. Dosing equipment for hightly agressive ionic chemicals. If you have a need for monitoring solutions then this is a good place to look if your needs are not answered elsewhere.

The football I caught all the game-winning touchdowns with was made out of vinyl. Each section was a different color, none found in nature. It was from a dime store. It was not regulation. But I'd fire it high into the air -- did I mention I was also a record-setting quarterback? -- and track it down the length of our side yard. Sometimes I would slow down so I'd have to dive for the catch. And as I held the ball in the air to celebrate, I was also the announcer, going crazy over yet another last-second win.
Kids everywhere do this sort of thing. But I was a Georgia boy. So even though the announcer was me, the call was not really mine. The voice in my head was Larry Munson.
Munson died Sunday night at 89. He started calling Georgia Bulldogs football on the radio when I was two years old. On the Sears Roebuck stereo in my childhood bedroom, in the dorm at UGA, driving around Charlotte at night trying to pull in WSB from Atlanta, Larry called out to me.
In TV sports, it's a bonus if the announcer is good, but you don't need it -- the action is there in front of you. On the radio, the voice is everything. He makes you see. "Get the picture," Larry Munson said before every kickoff, and he would tell you which way each team faced and the colors of the uniforms and how hard the wind was blowing and where the shadows fell across the field. He was always worried. Auburn had that big running back and Georgia Tech was hungry to beat us and even Kentucky could pull the upset if we looked too far ahead and dropped a couple on the turf and the penalties, oh, the penalties...
He was a homer -- Georgia was always "we" -- but if he was watching a pile of manure, he never called it chocolate. One miserable night in Starkville, when Georgia was losing to Mississippi State in a lightning storm, Loran Smith -- the Bulldogs' sideline reporter -- checked in to say he was going to call it a night. Munson pondered this and said: "I don't think Loran's calling it a night. I think Loran is going to a graveyard to find a dead man named Jack Daniels."
After a bout with throat cancer 18 years ago, I ended up with a pretty good Larry Munson voice. But every Georgia fan does an impression. Lay down a bed of gravel in the back of your throat, act like right now is the most important moment in human history, and you're off. I remember the campus radio station doing a skit about Munson cooking breakfast: "And the egg CRACKS open and DRIVES into the skillet... FIVE seconds... TEN seconds... needs a block..."
If you follow sports the voices fill your head. Maybe, for you, it's Vin Scully calling the Dodgers. Maybe it's Dick Vitale at Carolina-Duke. For me it's a guy who played piano with Sinatra in Minneapolis, had a fishing show in Nashville, and found his home in a radio booth in Athens, Georgia. He told the stories of the moments I cared about. When he said "we," he wasn't just talking about himself and the team. He was talking about me and all those other listeners. He made me, and them, into us.
I happened to be in Athens on the day of the Georgia-Florida game in 1980. I was on my high-school debate team, and we had been in a tournament, and we gathered in an auditorium on campus waiting for the results. Some kids in the back had a radio and were listening to the game down in Jacksonville. I couldn't hear the words, but I could hear the tone of Larry's voice. Georgia was done. Third-and-forever on their own 8.
And then Larry's voice rose, and I looked over my shoulder and the kids in the back had jumped out of their seats. I know this next part didn't happen, but it's what I remember: The radio was dancing off the floor and the words were flying out of it, like you see in cartoons.
We ran outside. You could hear hollering from the dorms, and car horns honking, and people just stood there on the sidewalk and screamed. This went on for hours. I was 16, and it was the most spontaneous joy I had ever been a part of. From that moment on I knew where I would be going to college.
It wasn't until later that I heard what Larry said after he got Lindsay Scott into the end zone. For a while, there was nothing on the air but the cheers of the Georgia fans in the Gator Bowl. Then Munson said this.
Well, I can't believe it, 92 yards and Lindsay really got in a footrace. I broke my chair. I came right through a chair, a metal, steel chair with about a five-inch cushion. I broke it. The booth came apart. The stadium, well, the stadium fell down. Now they do have to renovate this thing. They will have to rebuild it now. I, this, this is incredible. I didn't mean to beg Lindsay to run, but I HAD to. 26-21 with a passing attack that wasn't working all DAY, and Lindsay caught it, I think, the 25 or 30 or so, no timeouts left in the game.
You know, this game has always been called the World's Greatest Cocktail Party. Do you know what is going to happen here tonight, and up in St. Simons ... where all those Dawg people have got these condominiums for four days? Man, is there going to be some property destroyed tonight.
26 to 21, DAWGS on top. We were gone. I gave up, you did, too. We were out of it and gone. MIRACLE.
If that impossible, spontaneous poetry ends up being the voice you grow up with, the voice of your team, the voice in your head ... all you can do is accept the gift and count yourself lucky to hear it.

Thanks for the article. I'm only 23 but I remember so many of Larry's calls. I, too, would try my best to pick up WSB in Charlotte so I could hear him instead of the television announcers.
No announcers I have ever heard can compare to Munson. Truly will be missed and already is missed from the radio booth.

Wonderful tribute Tommy. Like many expats in Charlotte, I used to try to get the AM radio to pick-up WSB in Atlanta, WNGC in Athens to catch the Dawgs. Most UGA folks preferred to listen to Munson over watching on TV if they could not be at the game.
The kind comments from other SEC rivals are very classy and greatly appreciated as well.
RIP Larry Munson.

John Ward, Cawood Ledford, John Forney . . . great ones all, but Larry was unique. They would have thrown him out of broadcast school and burned every mic he ever touched, but Lord what a sound, what a voice, what a ritual to anticipate each and every weekend in the fall.
One last thing Dawg fans: Your SEC brethren sincerely mourn your loss. But this Alabama fan hopes we meet in Atlanta and we beat you so badly that PETA intercedes.
I think Larry would respect that, and God love him for it.

Allow my actions to speak louder than my words: Read your article out loud to by husband with a tear in my eye. What a beautiful & raspy sentiment to a man we loved so much.
P.S. He is the voice in my head too.

This is the best written tribute I have seen. We all have our own Munson memories and stories. My heart broke last night when I heard the news and I can't help but be happy he was able to see the Dawgs win one more SEC East title before he went to grace the skies above with his presence. I hope that the boys from the south are able to win out this season and beat LSU/Alabama/Arkansas in the Dome so that there can be some more sUGAr falling from the sky.
Do it for Larry, boys. He was a DGD and a legend that will be missed by many and remembered by all as THE "Voice of the Dawgs".
Hunker Down, Dawgs. Hunker Down.

Absolutely fantastic and beautifully written piece, Tommy. Larry Munson was truly one of a kind - and even I, quite possibly the world's most rabid Auburn fan, can and did appreciate him. The ride from here to The Loveliest Village was always better when I could listen to Larry calling a Georgia game as I traveled. Your tribute is wonderful - I hope someone will share it with his family.

Great tribute to a great man. Thanks for making Larry's calls come alive once again. It just isn't the same without him. But, now he and Lewis Grizzard can cheer the Dawgs on to victorious finishes against the North Ave Trade School and our next SEC opponent.

Tommy, Great column but please, Dick Vitale is NOT the voice of the Tar Heels. That Bronx foghorn makes my Southern ears bleed and my stomach churn. The voice of the Tar Heels, at least the one I still hear in my head is Woody Durham. Probably will still hear his voice for many years to come.

Crystal, Ryan reunite for Reiner
Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan reunited 25 years after their film When Harry Met Sally to honour its director Rob Reiner.
The pair, who played friends turned lovers in the hit 1989 romantic comedy, were both on hand to see Rob pick up the Film Society of Lincoln Centre's Chaplin Award in New York.
Variety reported that Meg, 52, and Billy, 66, took a trip down memory lane when they appeared on stage, discussing the film's fake orgasm scene. They revealed that director Rob actually demonstrated the scene to help the actress perfect it.
The film's cinematographer, Barry Sonnenfeld, later said shooting the scene at Katz's Deli was "the worst day of Rob Reiner's life".
"I've never seen a man have such an active display of panic and depression," he said. "Rob was sweating so much that he had to wear a Katz's dishtowel over his head. He made Albert Brooks' sweat scene in Broadcast News seem like Albert was calm and collected. He kept turning to me and saying, 'What was I thinking? I'm directing a woman on how to fake an orgasm in front of my mother (who was an extra in the scene)'."
Meg and Billy also discussed what they thought their characters would be doing now.
"Sometimes people want to know what happened to Harry and Sally and I think they are OK," Meg said.
They agreed Harry would still be a political consultant and working for New York's Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Other stars who turned up to honour the director included James Caan, Michael Douglas and Martin Scorsese. Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman sent video messages.
Clips of the director's work were played and the audience was treated to exclusive peeks of his upcoming documentary The Case Against 8, about the effort to overturn California's Proposition 8 and his new film And So It Goes.

Manufacturing software supplier Plex Systems Inc. announced Tuesday it hired longtime financial executive Don Clarke as the company's new CFO.
Clarke, 54, replaces Michael Twarozynski and is expected to lead the company to an initial public offering over the next two to four years. Twarozynski remains with the company in a leadership role, CEO Jason Blessing said in an email to Crain's.
Clarke currently is a board member for Fairfax, Va.-based analytics firm DataRPM Corp.
Clarke has a history of working with startups through acquisition.
He served as CFO for Vienna, Va.-based marketing software Eloqua Inc., overseeing the startups growth in 2008 to its initial public offering and $871 million acquisition by technology conglomerate Oracle Corp. in 2012.
Blessing served as a senior vice president at Oracle before joining Plex in February 2013.
Clarke previously was CFO at several other companies, including Cloakware, Visual Networks, eCommerce Industries, ReturnBuy, Net2000 Communications, Plexsys International and Telic Corp.
Cloakware, Visual Networks, Net2000 and Telic were all acquired during Clarke's tenure as CFO.
Blessing said Plex's focus is to build a strong company and that an "IPO and/or acquisition is just one of the milestones in that process."
Clarke earned a bachelor's in accounting from Virginia Technological University.
Plex also announced that it added 59 new customers in 2013, including Green Flash Brewing Co. and Sanders & Morley Candy Makers Inc.
Plex generated $50 million in revenue in 2012 and employs 365. In 2012, the startup was sold to Francisco Partners Management LLC of San Francisco for an undisclosed amount. Crain's list of M&A deals for 2012 put the figure at more than $50 million.

The male reproductive system structures give men the ability to reproduce by fertilizing a woman's egg. There are a number of organs that make up the male reproductive system.
Although infertility is commonly felt to be a female condition, a male factor often plays a significant role. Certain risk factors place a male at higher risk of having infertility including any abnormalities or issues with the testicles themselves, prior treatment for cancer, hormonal disorders, prior scrotal surgery, or even infections such a sexually transmitted disease.
