CATIA Systems Engineering integrates complex product behaviour into the product definition, enabling a lifelike experience which predicts real world performance.
With CATIA Systems Engineering , system architects, product engineers, designers and technical experts define both technical and business aspects. The RFLP approach (Requirements, Functional, Logical and Physical Design) upholds a full traceability during product development and product introduction. This helps shortening the gap between requirements analysis and the choice of the right solution.
CATIA Mechanism Simulation
Enables designers to define, simulate, and analyze mechanisms for digital products of all sizes.
Because every small aspect of detailed design needs to be given careful consideration, the mechanism definition and validation process is time consuming, while collaboration is rather complex.
With CATIA Mechanism Simulation, you can clearly work with detailed designs productively and concurrently. With the help of the fully-automated Assembly Design workbench, product engineers and designers can create mechanisms from connections that have already been defined.
The functional check and validation of mechanisms may be carried out interactively or by running a kinematic simulation. This is processed concurrently with the Assembly Design workbench that offers powerful post-processing tools such as clash analysis, distance computations, trace, and swept volume generation of a moving part.
- Ensure consistency and productivity thanks to integration of mechanisms with the Assembly Design workbench
- Define kinematic mechanisms with high quality
- Ensure powerful kinematic analysis with the simulation object
- Experience concurrent engineering and lifecycle management of kinematic objects
- Permit several simulation contexts for a single product
- Ensure excellent legibility of the mechanisms interactive check
- Evaluate mechanisms with the ability to drive under-constrained systems early on
- Analyze assemblies with precision, for instance, flexible sub-assemblies
Direct reuse of assembly design constraints to define mechanismsEngineering connection allows mechanism definition with a seamless integration between kinematic joint connection and design constraint connection. It guarantees full consistency of the assembly definition and compelling productivity.
Wide variety of possible mechanisms definitionYou can define a wide variety of kinematic mechanisms thanks to 15 different types of joint connection.
Scenario definitions, animations and probes specified by the simulation objectThe creation of the simulation object enables you to create kinematic scenario set-ups via different remaining Degree Of Freedom (DOF) driving excitations. The user can also leverage knowledge-based excitation laws, display animation preview with video player-like capabilities, generate persistent animations, and perform dynamic clash detections.
Full PLM integration of kinematics objectsKinematic data such as joint connections or mechanism representations can be accessed concurrently as they benefit from PLM platform integration. They also benefit from a PLM update, versioning, maturity, and an impact graph. The impact graph also applies to simulation objects and their results.
Several mechanism representations for a single product, with their own life cycleYou may define as many Mechanism Representations as you want to for a single product, depending on the combination of engineering connections you select. As different lifecycles between product data (design oriented data flow) and kinematics data (simulation oriented dataflow) are managed, analysts can reuse product design data in several simulation contexts.
Slider manipulation for interactive check of mechanismsYou can control the mechanism motion interactively through sliders manipulation of any coupled mechanism commands.
Drive under-constrained systemsDesigners may define their parts with flexibility as the solver can drive under-constrained mechanisms.
Simulation creation at any product levelSimulations can be carried out at any level on the product structure, and not only at the first level of instance under the product which contains the mechanism. Mechanism representations can be directly reused with a sub-product instance context. It makes it possible to simulate in detail the motion of an assembly built up with several occurrences of the same flexible sub-assembly, such as a crankshaft.


text: Hi Steve, Unfortunately, we couldn't use TotalView because Scyld don't provide enough remote PID debugging support in their BProc libs. Which also means that gdb can't work on them either. At least that's the explanation I got after scanning through the beowulf.org mailing list a while ago. Perhaps users with Scyld clusters just have to wait for the next release (hopefully). In the meantime, I'm relying heavily on printf() statements, and writing customized debugging routines. Paul.

Groovy Development
About this Article
Unlike many of my previous articles, I decided not to make this a click-along. There is so much to talk about in the Groovy language that I did not want to get too sidetracked in explaining the SQL database setup, or creating a framework to demonstrate it all.
I can tell you, however, that this information is based on my own experience constructing such a framework for a project at work. We needed a quick and easy way to construct translators (importers and exporters, if you prefer) for getting data in and out of a database schema. In many cases, the export (or import) was to (or from) an XML file.
To illustrate, the system constructed was a workflow system that interfaced with external agencies using various XML formats. Using the data in the database, an XML schedule file was formed and sent out to the company members, who would then examine it and provide a response, also in XML. The response had some identifying information relating to the data originally sent out, and then could contain a number of different responses. For one, a problem with the data could be signaled, and it might be specific to a certain series in the outgoing schedule, or even an individual value. For another, our system needed a certain "response code" field to be set based on the response data code in combination with the anomalies signaled.
For example, if the response code is G29, and one of the data series is marked as having inconsistent values, our response code is -210. Otherwise, if G29 is marked, but no data is identified as problematic, set the response code to -200 (really, these are made-up numbers, but hopefully they show the kind of business rule that was needed).
So, we are faced with the possibility of using a simple and fast mapping tool to get the data in, and then doing a separate post-processing step to apply all of the business logic, or of using a more sophisticated language for the whole process, with Java being high on the list because the rest of the application is already written in Java.
What Is Groovy?
Around the same time we were looking at this problem, I was following the development of a new language called Groovy (a name that is the language's worst enemy, in my opinion, because I was the one who had to pitch the use of something called "Groovy" to write our translation engine and it was a hard sell because of the name alone). Groovy also can be referred to as JSR-241, which is far more boring, but also much more acceptable in a corporate setting.
Groovy is a scripting language that is largely compatible with Java syntax. (And when I say that, I mean that there are very few things you can write in Java that will break Groovy, one curious and notable exception being the for loop that has been simplified.) You can either interpret or compile Groovy, and compiled Groovy code can be packaged up into jars that look just like Java code, but will run slower than Java.
Why Use Groovy?
So, if the language has such similar syntax to Java and is slower, why not just use Java? Well, just because Groovy can understand straight Java code, it doesn't mean that is all it can understand. Normal Java requires a lot of strong typing and compile time checking that mean that (unless you use reflection) many of the neat shortcuts that dynamic scripting languages are hard or require a lot of extra code (like reflection code).
Although Groovy will compile strongly typed code quite happily, you can also drop the typing, so that something like:
String myStr = "Hello world";
can become
myStr = "Hello world";
Also, a method definition like:
public int myMethod(boolean flag, String greeting, double mult) {can become
def myMethod(flag, greeting, mult) {
Also, things such as loops have been simplified a great deal:
for(int i=0; i<100; i++) {
for (i in 0..99) {
Ok, so nothing earth shattering so far, but Groovy doesn't stop there. For one thing, it has all sorts of shorthand syntax that saves a lot of time. Some examples (but not all by far) include:
- Native list and map syntax
- Closures (you can think of a closure very loosely as a method with no name or formal definitiona code block, if you prefer)
- Excellent iteration syntax ( list.each(), for (i in 1..10) )
- Incredibly concise XML and SQL syntax support, including Markup
All of these features will be covered in this article, but it is this last point that really convinced me to to try Groovy for our translators. As it turned out, it was a very good choice.
Getting Groovy
OK, before going any further, you may be wondering where you can find Groovy.
Groovy's home is http://groovy.codehaus.org/, and the latest version can be found at http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/?M=D (the link is already sorted with most recent at the top).
Installation is easy; just choose the gz or zip file (depending on your preferencenote also that you can pick up the src distros if you want to; but to start with, grab one that does not have src in the name) and unpack it onto your machine somewhere. I then recommend adding the bin directory to your PATH environment variable so that the machine can execute the compiler and shells. Try it from the command line by typing groovysh; you should see something like this:
Lets get Groovy! ================ Version: 1.0-jsr-03 JVM: 1.4.2_06-b03 Type 'exit' to terminate the shell Type 'help' for command help Type 'go' to execute the statements
Type exit to get out of ityou are ready to go Groovy.
The Console and JEdit
Groovy has a very useful tool, called the Groovy Console, that comes with it. You can start it by typing GroovyConsole at the command line and you should see a window come up with an upper and a lower pane. The upper pane can be used to type in Groovy code to try out, and the bottom pane is the groovy shell and shows execution traces. Note that any output to standard out or standard error will go not to the bottom pane, but to the standard output in the command line window.
The Groovy console is extremely useful. If you are trying to develop some snippet of useful, Groovy code, this is the place to do it. Once you have edited the code you want to run, just go to the Actions menu and select Run. It will either run the code snippet, or explain to you why it couldn't. It's very basic compared with a full Java IDE, but it is very useful to just try out some ideas.
Click here for a larger image.
In this example, you have some code that could be Java (except from the test part not needing to be enclosed in a public static void main() construct). If you run it, you should see "Hello Dr. Livingstone" written to the standard output in the command line you called GroovyConsole from.
I would also like to mention JEdit here; if you have never used JEdit, I strongly recommend it. You can download it from http://www.jedit.org/ and it has Groovy syntax coloring. Again, this is a far cry from a full IDE environment but those will be improved over time. In the meantime, I tend to use either JEdit or NetBeans with the Groovy plugin available from https://coyote.dev.java.net/ and there is also an Eclipse plugin for Groovy available at http://groovy.codehaus.org/Eclipse+Plugin.
Moving on to the real meat of the article... As a Groovy neophyte, the first problem I found was that the documentation is a bit sparse at the moment. It is for this reason that I want to delve into at least those features of the language that I found useful for the translators I wrote, in the hope that it will provide a starting point for people and give them a bit of a leg up. I am sure there will be holes because I treat Groovy like most other things I deal with on a daily basisa tool to solve a problem, and often once I have solved the problem, I move on to the next problem and come back to the tool later.

This is true if the 1.2 number is quoted through a switch, but as I understand it Mellanox quotes back-to-back numbers as their latency numbers. I have measured QLogic HTX adapters within 50ns of 1.0 usec if going back to back, but noone I'm aware of actually uses IB that way; everyone wants to run in a cluster with more than 2 nodes using a switch, so thats how we quote our latency.

QUINCY – Six weeks after parents protested a plan to send fourth-graders to a soon-to-be-built middle school on the west side of the city, state officials are now backing an alternate plan to build a new Sterling Middle School for grades 5 through 8 only.
The Massachusetts School Building Authority told Quincy school officials that it supports an initial design for a new Sterling Middle School that would have an enrollment no larger than 430 students.
School Superintendent Richard DeCristofaro is "very pleased with the outcome," said Laura Owens, assistant to the superintendent.
One of two options that Quincy school leaders submitted to the state agency called for building a Sterling Middle School to house about 550 students in grades 4 through 8. But that proposal quickly triggered opposition from parents who think 9- and 10-year-olds shouldn't be mixing with young adolescents or forced to change classrooms several times a day.
Courtney Perdios, one of the parents who led a petition drive in which more than 500 signatures were obtained, said she welcomed the state decision but remains concerned about fifth-graders being put in a middle school setting.
"I am definitely part of the group of people speaking up about eliminating fourth-graders from the middle school atmosphere," Perdios said Thursday night. "But I am definitely still concerned about fifth-graders (in middle schools). That's going to be our next step, at least getting them back on elementary school schedules."
Perdios and other parents plan to attend the special school committee meeting July 30, where committee members will review the most recent enrollment and design plans approved by the state School Building Authority.
Enrollment in the city's elementary schools has swelled from 3,593 to 4,228 in the last seven years, but Owens said the situation at Lincoln-Hancock Community School is not at a "crisis" point.
"In the future, we'll have to look at what we can do in that building," she said. "Kindergarten is projected to be just about 100 (this year.) That's not as high as the 125 we had last year."
State officials who analyzed Quincy enrollment trends said middle school enrollment would increase more than 20 percent in the next decade, from slightly more than 2,600 students to 3,200 students. They factored in families that will be moving to Quincy in that time period.
School committee member Anne Mahoney was critical of the process and called for more input from parents as the plans for Sterling and other schools are debated.
"I don't think a bigger building makes for better academics," she said. "It doesn't have a community buy-in. And saying that there are population problems throughout the whole system, how can we fix it with one school? Shouldn't we look at it as a whole?"

The BUNN social media team consisting of Brandi Cooke and myself, had the privilege to travel to origin earlier this month. We joined members and volunteers from the International Womens Coffee Alliance (IWCA) to take a cultural-coffee tour of Guatemala prior to the IWCAs International Convention being held in Guatemala City. The coffee you drink takes quite a journey from seed to cup, and each step of the journey builds on the previous step. It is important to experience origin in order to gain a deeper understanding of this journey and the challenges producers face. BUNN proudly supports sustainable and educational efforts at origin because we believe that without the beans there would be no need for the brewers.
Upon arriving into Guatemala our guide, Mireya Jones, a fourth generation Guatemalan coffee farmer, stressed that to truly understand the coffee industry one must understand the culture. Over the course of 6 days we traveled the Southwest region of the country to observe this Guatemalan culture that shapes its coffee industry.
Our exploration started on February 2nd at the Museo Ixchel del Traje Indigena. This museum displayed the beautiful textiles that are prominent throughout the country. Textiles are very important to Guatemalans as they convey an individuals heritage, worldview and most of all identify the community and region in which they live. Weaving is considered an art form, and individuals within the community, mostly women, spend hours weaving colorful intricate patterns and designs.
We saw these regional textiles on our first stop in the mountain town of Chichicastenango (Chichi), situated high in the mountains at 6,500 feet above sea level. In this small mountain town we immersed ourselves in the culture by attending church, shopping in the open-air market, and walking through the cemeteries to see how they celebrate the lives of those who have passed. Guatemala has a very religious culture and that was very apparent during Sunday morning mass. The standing- room-only church was packed with worshiping villagers. In Guatemala, many individuals practice Christianity and Mayan religion, and in many cases these two religions blend together. In the Chichicastenango church, traditional Christian icons like the cross adorned the walls, but Mayan alters with sacrificial candles were also present. After church we explored the crowded open-air market where villagers buy, sell, and barter goods including hand woven textiles, blankets, woodworking, pottery, jewelry, produce, meat, fish, flowers, and more.
From Chichi we ventured to our next stop - Lake Atitlan. Nestled between three volcanoes at 5,000 feetabove sea level, the soil is very sandy and perfect for growing coffee. We toured this area by lancha (boat) visiting the towns of Panajachel, Santiago and San Juan. Areas in Guatemala can experience intense downpours during the rainy season with accumulations over 200 inches. This can cause flooding that washes out the roads. In Santiago a torrential downpour had destroyed the main road and workers were hand-chiseling stones to rebuild it. While in Santiago, we encountered more of the Mayan religion by visiting a shaman. This shaman oversaw Maximon (pronounced "Mashimon"), thepatron saint of all things bad (specifically drinking and gambling). Guatemalans pray to this saint to ask for forgiveness of all the bad things they have done.
We traveled on to San Juan for our first introduction of coffee at origin by visiting a coffee co-operative, often referred to as a co-op. A co-op is a facility where small coffee farmers bring their coffee cherries to be weighed, washed, pulped, fermented, rinsed, dried, and bagged. After this process the green coffee beans will be exported and sold to a roaster. Following this brief introduction we journeyed to a finca, or coffee farm, just on the outside of the city of Antigua.
Finca Pastores is located in the Antigua coffeegrowing region of Guatemala situated at 5,000-5,500 feet above sea level. We toured the finca to see the elaborate journey coffee takes from cherry to green bean. We started at the coffee bush saplings where we learned that each Arabica start is grafted with a Robusta root. They graft together these two coffee plant species to strengthen the Arabica plant, as it is more delicate and easily susceptible to the elements such as disease pests, temperature variation and rough handling.
After learning about the delicate process of starting an Arabica coffee plant from seed, we had the chance to pick coffee cherries in a friendly competition with professional coffee pickers. In 15 minutes the 5 coffee professionals picked 87 pounds of coffee cherries, while the 12 newbies only managed 68 pounds! We collectively picked enough cherries to amount to almost 20 - 8lb bags of roasted coffee. We then, no pun intended, had a deeper dive into the wet process similar to what we experienced at the co-op in San Juan. During this process, waste items are also produced. Finca Pastores finds a purpose for all elements. For instance, the fruit that is stripped from the seed is composted and mixed in with the soil. That soil is then used to grow the new grafted saplings. The parchment skin that flakes from the coffee seed is collected and sold as kindling. We also learned there are 6 levels of sorting to separate the highest quality coffee. Once it has dried the coffee is hand sorted to look for imperfections. These hand-sorting positions are held by women and are highly sought after due to higher pay scale and less strenuous working conditions. They are often handed down from generation to generation within a family.
Overall, this trip opened our eyes to see how entwined the culture is with the coffee industry. Coffee is a vital crop to the sustainability of the Guatemalan people. It is the number one source of employment for the country, with 20 out of 22 states producing coffee.

Permission to distribute and modify this document is granted under the GNU General Public License. An on-line copy is available at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html 1.2. Audience and Intent This document is targeted at the Linux user interested in learning a bit about Emacs and trying it out. This actually began as the outline of a brief tutorial that I was to give at a Toledo Area Linux User Group meeting: http://www.talug.org/. It has since grown a bit as the result of the helpful feedback I have received from the community. See the Credits section for details. Having said that, there is virtually nothing Linux-specific in this document. It applies to virtually all flavors of Unix and even Emacs running on Microsoft Windows. But since this document is part of the Linux Documentation Project, I make a point of saying that it was developed for Linux users--because it was. And finally, those of you who prefer the name GNU/Linux to simply ``Linux'' (read http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html to see why one might) are welcomed to mentally substitute GNU/Linux for all occurrences of Linux in this document. While I don't disagree with the reasoning and spirit behind that idea, I don't feel compelled to write GNU/Linux. 1.3. What is Emacs? Emacs is different things to different people. Depending who you ask, you'll could get any of the following responses: � Text Editor � Mail Client � News Reader � Word Processor � Religion � Integrated Development Environment � Whatever you want it to be! But for our purposes, let's just pretend it's a text editor--an amazingly flexible text editor. We'll dig deeper into the question later on. Emacs was written by Richard Stallman (founder of the Free Software Foundation: http://www.fsf.org/ and the GNU project http://www.gnu.org/) and he still maintains it today. Emacs is one of the most popular and powerful text editors used on Linux (and Unix). It is second in popularity only to vi. It is known for it huge feature set, ability to be easily customized, and lack of bugs. It's large feature set and ability to be customized actually are the result of how Emacs was designed and implemented. Without going into all the details, I'll simply point out that Emacs isn't ``just an editor''. It is an editor written mostly in the programming language Lisp. At the core of Emacs is a full-featured Lisp interpreter written in C. Only the most basic and low-level pieces of Emacs are written in C. The majority of the editor is actually written in Lisp. So, in a sense, Emacs has an entire programming language ``built in'' which you can use to customize, extend, and change its behavior. Emacs is also one of the oldest editors around. The fact that is has been used by thousands of programmers over the past 20 (?) years means that there are many add-on packages available. These add-ons allow you to make Emacs do things that Stallman had probably never dreamed possible when he first began work on Emacs. More on that in a later section. There are many other web sites and documents which give a better overview of Emacs, its history, and related matters. Rather than attempt to reproduce much of that here, I suggest that you check out some of the places listed in Section ``Other Resources'' section of this document. 1.3.1. Ports and Versions It's worth pointing out that there are actually two different Emacs editors: GNU Emacs and XEmacs. Both come from the same heritage and share most of the same features. This document focuses on GNU Emacs (version 20.3, specifically) but much of what you'll read here will apply just as well to XEmacs and earlier versions of GNU Emacs. Throughout this document I will simply refer to ``Emacs''. When I do so, bear that in mind. 1.3.2. Getting Emacs Getting Emacs is easy. If you are using a popular Linux distribution like Debian, RedHat, Slackware, or any of the others, Emacs is probably an optional package that you can install from your distribution media. If not, you can get the Emacs source code and compile it yourself. Visit the GNU web site for the exact location: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html.

U.S. rice producers are expected to produce a record crop of 244 million hundredweight in 2010, based on the largest estimated acreage since 1999 and a projected near-record average rice yield of 7,202 pounds per acre, according to USDA's May 11 Crop Production Report and World Supply and Demand Estimate.
If USDA projections hold true, the crop would be 11 percent larger than the 2009-10 crop and 5 percent above the previous record in 2004-05.
While world demand for rice remains very strong, production in other exporting countries is expected to be large as well, meaning export competition will be greater, USDA says.
U.S. 2010-11 rice use is projected at a record 245 million hundredweight, 2 percent above the year earlier. U.S. domestic and residual use is projected at a record 138 million hundredweight, 2 percent above 2009-10. Exports are projected at 107 million hundredweight. U.S. ending stocks in 2010-11 are projected at 51.4 million hundredweight, 69 percent above the previous year, and the largest stocks since 1985-86.
In March, USDA pegged rice planted area at 3.41 million acres, up 9 percent from 2009. Harvested area is estimated at 3.39 million acres. Imports for 2009-10 are projected at 22 million hundredweight, up 5 percent from the previous year.
The 2010-11 long-grain season-average farm price is projected at $10 to $11 per hundredweight compared to a revised $12.90 to $13.10 for the previous year. The combined medium- and short-grain price is projected at $14.50 to $15.50 per hundredweight, compared to $17.65 to $17.85 for the year earlier. The 2010-11 all rice price is projected at $11.15 to $12.15 per hundredweight, compared to $14.05 to $14.25 per hundredweight for 2009-10.
According to USDA, large domestic and global supplies and lower Asian prices will pressure U.S. prices this year. Global 2010-11 rice production is projected at a record 459.7 million tons, up 17.6 million or 4 percent from 2009-10. Large crops are projected for most of Asia including record or near-record crops in Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
In bullish news, world consumption and residual is projected at a record 453.4 million tons, up 10.9 million or 2 percent.
Global rice exports in 2010-11 are projected at 31.4 million tons, up 1.75 million tons or 6 percent from the previous year, and the largest since 2007-08. Exports are expected to increase from the previous year in the United States, Argentina, China, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Uruguay, and Vietnam. Global ending stocks are expected to increase 6.3 million tons or 7 percent to 96.6 million tons – the largest stocks since 2002-03. The stocks-to-use ratio for 2010-11 at 21.3 percent, is up from last year's 20.4 percent, and the highest since 2003-04.
USDA also reported that the source of the average milling yield used in the conversion of milled to rough rice in USDA reports has changed for the 2000-01 through 2010-11 marketing years. The average milling yield used, expressed as a percent, from the Farm Service Agency, is calculated from warehouse stored loan data for the different rice classes.
Previously, data supplied from the USA Rice Federation were used to calculate the average milling yield, data which are no longer available. The 2010-11 average milling yield at 68.86 percent is based on the average of the previous 5 years.

Kevin Strootman has the potential to replace Paul Scholes following the retirement of the Manchester United legend, according to the agent of the highly-rated Netherlands international.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a summer transfer to Old Trafford as the club search for midfield reinforcements following the retirement of Scholes at the end of last season.
Manchester United boss David Moyes is reported to have sent scouts to watch Strootman in action during the European under-21 Championship as he considers an approach to bring the player to the club.
With Moyes seemingly after another creative influence in his recently inherited Manchester United midfielder, the Scot has been informed that Strootman could be just the acquisition he is looking for before the transfer deadline.
"Maybe you could compare Kevin Strootman with a left-footed player in the Dutch squad like Willem van Hanegem [who played for Netherlands in the 1974 World Cup final]," agent Kevin Valkenburg told SportsDirect News.
"But in terms of more modern players he's like Paul Scholes."
He added: "Kevin is a strong player, with his mind set completely on winning every duel, every match."
"He has a great left foot and his passing is excellent."
Strootman has been valued at a reported £20 million by current club PSV Eindhoven, while the Dutchman has also been linked with a transfer to Italian giants AC Milan.

Press Releases & Statements
USCIRF Chairman Daniel Mark said, "Michael Cromartie embodied the effort to integrate religious values with public policy – at both the domestic and international level. We owe him a debt of gratitude for championing an open and honest discourse about the role of religion and belief in a public policy and political context."
9/11/17: USCIRF Strongly Condemns Violence in Burma's Rakhine State and Calls for Efforts to Protect Rohingya Muslims
USCIRF strongly condemns attacks on civilians and security forces in Burma's Rakhine State. Hundreds have been killed and approximately 300,000 Rohingya Muslims recently have fled to neighboring Bangladesh. This number is expected to grow in the days and weeks ahead. Burma's security forces have razed entire villages, slaughtered families, and even placed landmines in the path of fleeing refugees, creating "a staggering humanitarian disaster," according to USCIRF's Chairman Daniel Mark.
Covering 2016, this publication documents religious freedom conditions in almost 200 countries, including some of the most repressive governments in the world. USCIRF Chairman Daniel Mark noted: "The State Department's report is an important resource on religious freedom conditions globally."
USCIRF released a report that shows how blasphemy laws around the world fall short of international human rights benchmarks. The report details laws spanning the globe from countries such as Canada and Switzerland to Iran and Indonesia with penalties ranging from fines to death. USCIRF Chairman Daniel Mark states that blasphemy laws "invite abuse and can lead to assaults, murders, and mob attacks."
USCIRF welcomed the release of Iranian religious prisoner of conscience Maryam Naghash Zargaran. A Christian convert from Islam, Ms. Zargaran was sentenced in 2013 to four years' imprisonment on charges of "propagating against the Islamic regime and collusion intended to harm national security." Commissioner Clifford D. May: Maryam's case exemplified Iran's "flagrant disregard for religious freedom."
USCIRF strongly condemns the irresponsible and hostile actions taken against Uighur Muslims in Egypt. The government of Egypt continues a campaign of rounding up and deporting these individuals back to China, a country with a record of harsh repression of the Uighur community. USCIRF's Chairman Daniel Mark said, "These latest moves show a calculated indifference to the Uighur Muslim community."
USCIRF expressed relief that the Vietnamese government has released religious prisoner of conscience Pastor Nguyen Cong Chinh and allowed him, his wife Tran Thi Hong, and their five children to leave the country. Pastor Chinh was sentenced in 2012 to
USCIRF welcomes the White House nomination of Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas as the Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom. As a Senator from 1996-2011, he was at the forefront of international religious freedom issues.
Bagir: I write recognizing that this letter never may reach you. Through my position as a Commissioner on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), I have become aware of your dire situation and have resolved to dedicate my efforts to securing your unconditional release from prison.
USCIRF is increasingly concerned with the escalation of arrests of members of the Baha'i community in Yemen. USCIRF calls for the immediate release of all Baha'i prisoners of conscience and decries the targeting of individuals based solely on their religion or belief.

Gastric restrictive surgery is a type of bariatric surgery or weight loss surgery. It limits the amount of food you can eat. This surgery may be used to treat severe obesity when diet, exercise, and medicine have failed.
In gastric restrictive procedures, the normal digestive process stays intact. None of the gastrointestinal tract is bypassed. There are two types of operations:
Because the size of the stomach is reduced so much, these procedures are called "restrictive."
After having a restrictive procedure, you can only eat about three-quarters to a cup of well-chewed food. Eating more than the stomach pouch can hold may cause nausea and vomiting.
Restrictive procedures have fewer risks than gastric bypass procedures. But they may be less successful. That's because continuous overeating can stretch the pouch so that it holds more food.
The types of gastric restrictive procedures include:
LAGB is most often done using a laparoscope rather than through an open incision. This method uses a few small incisions for the laparoscopic tools to reach the inside of the stomach. The surgeon does the surgery while looking at a TV monitor. Laparoscopic gastric surgery usually reduces the length of the hospital stay. It also reduces the amount of scarring, and often results in quicker recovery than an "open" or standard method.
Bariatric surgery is currently the best choice for lasting weight loss in people who are severely obese when nonsurgical methods of weight loss have not worked.
Potential candidates for bariatric surgery include:
Because the surgery can have serious side effects, the long-term health benefits must be greater than the risks.
People with a BMI of 60 or more or those who have already had some type of stomach surgery may not be able to have laparoscopic surgery.
Although not all risks are fully known, bariatric surgery does help many people reduce or get rid of some obesity-related health problems. It may help to:
Surgery for weight loss is not for everybody. But these procedures can be highly effective in people who are motivated to follow their healthcare provider's guidelines for nutrition and exercise after surgery.
There may be other reasons for your healthcare provider to advise a gastric banding procedure.
As with any surgery, complications may happen. They may include:
In LAGB, the band can erode into the stomach or slip. This can block the flow of food through the band. Rarely, stomach juices may leak into the stomach and emergency surgery may be needed. The most common long-term complication with LAGB is that the stomach pouch enlarges.
Laparoscopic banding procedure has fewer risks because there is no incision made into the stomach wall.
There may be other risks based on your specific health condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure.
Restrictive gastric surgery requires a stay in the hospital. Procedures may vary based on the type of procedure done and your healthcare provider.
These operations need you to be asleep under general anesthesia. Your healthcare provider will discuss this with you before.
Generally, the following process happens:
After the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room. Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are alert, you will be taken to your hospital room.
You may get pain medicine as needed, either by a nurse or by giving it yourself through a device connected to your intravenous (IV) line.
You will be encouraged to move around while you are in bed, and then to get out of bed and walk around as your strength improves. The first time you get up, ask the nurse to help you, so you do not fall or faint. It is important for you to move around soon after your surgery to prevent blood clots.
At first, you will get fluids through an IV. That evening or the next day, you will be given liquids such as broth or clear juice to drink. As you are able to take liquids, you may be given thicker liquids, such as pudding, milk, or cream soup. This is followed by foods that you do not have to chew, such as hot cereal or pureed foods. Some surgeons recommend a liquid diet for 1 to 2 weeks. Your healthcare provider will instruct you about how long to stay on liquid until it is time to progress to eat pureed foods after surgery. By 4 to 6 weeks after your procedure, you may be eating solid foods.
You will be instructed about taking nutritional supplements to replace the nutrients lost due to the reconstruction of the digestive tract. You will also be encouraged to maximize protein intake, often with protein drinks.
Before you are discharged from the hospital, follow-up visits are arranged.
Report any of these symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately:
After surgery, your healthcare provider may give you other instructions, depending on your particular situation.
Once you are home, it will be important to keep the surgical area clean and dry. Your healthcare provider will give you bathing instructions. The stitches or surgical staples will be removed during a follow-up visit in a week or so.
The incision and stomach muscles may ache, especially with deep breathing, coughing, and exertion. Take a pain reliever for soreness as advised by your healthcare provider. Aspirin or certain other pain medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase the chance of bleeding. Be sure to take only recommended medicines.
Keep up the breathing exercises used in the hospital to prevent lung infections.
Gradually increase your physical activity as you are able. It may take several weeks or months to return to your previous levels of stamina.
You may be told to avoid lifting heavy items for a few weeks to months, depending on whether the operation was done laparoscopically or with an open technique. This will help prevent strain on your stomach muscles and surgical incision.
Weight loss surgery can be emotionally difficult because you will be adjusting to new dietary habits and a body in the process of change. You may feel especially tired during the first 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Exercise and going to a support group may be helpful at this time.

Bedford Blues v Rotherham Titans
There was to be no delight in front of the Sky Sports cameras as they went down 12-33 to Rotherham Titans in the unusual 5pm kick off slot on Saturday evening. The match will mostly be remembered for four yellow cards – three of them decided by TMO Graham Hughes – rather than the rugby but the Blues will be kicking themselves for leaving a whole host of tries out on the field. Accidental offside and handling errors ultimately cost Bedford three scoring chances whereas Rotherham crossed the white three times to seal the win.
The action was quick from the start and there were many pleasing aspects to the Blues performance. The scrum was on top form and caused the visitors – always respected for their front eight – no ends of problems and picked up numerous penalties throughout the game. Sadly, a missed tackle allowed hooker Tom Cruse to go through from close range and many could have been forgiven for thinking it would be Mission Impossible from there (sorry). Juan Pablo Socino added the extras and the visitors led 0-7.
James Pritchard converted a penalty for the Blues in the 11th minute after the Blues pounced on a Rotherham ruck forcing the tackled man to hang on. Patrick Tapley then had the crowd on their feet as he went on a 40 metre run but the move burned out a few phases later.
Socino struck a penalty of his own on in the 17th minute and then the first yellow card of the day was shown. Rotherham were running some good lines but Mike Le Bourgeois brought it to a shuddering halt but in taking the player of the ground and turning him in the tackle the TMO judged it to be a tip tackle and Booj was binned for ten minutes and Socino slotted the three points to make it 3-13.
Pritchard missed a penalty two minutes later but Bedford fought well with 14 men and didn't concede any more points while Booj had a rest. Jake Sharp showed some blistering pace when a gap presented itself but as he offloaded the pass was knocked on a try scoring opportunity went begging.
Bedford continued to perform well at the ruck and as they inched towards Roth's try line a score looked almost inevitable but as a final push came, a Blues man ran straight into his own player and gave the Titans the chance to clear.
In the 31st minute, Pritchadr was presented with another kickable penalty and he made no mistakes to make the score 6-13 but moments later there was controversy at Goldington Road.
Bedford were putting pressure on Rotherham as they defended their own ruck and as Sharp came in to help out the forwards it looked as if Rotherham lock Dan Sanderson sent a punch in the fly half's direction. The ref blew up immediately, Sharp received treatment for a gash above his right eye, but the TMO said that contact was made with an open hand and Sanderson received a yellow card – something that would come back to haunt Bedford later.
Bedford continued to attack Rotherham with the man advantage and they received an extra boost when Cruse was given a yellow card for collapsing a maul on the stroke of half time. Pritchard converted the penalty and the half ended 9-13.
Bedford were unable to make the two extra men count after the break and Socino extended the visitors lead with a 45th minute penalty before Pritchard replied with one of his own two minutes later. Socino again inched Rotherham ahead with his fourth penalty of the afternoon.
The visitors continued to attack when they could and as they pressed into Bedford's 22 they began using their forwards to great effect to gain more territory. Scrum half Charlie Mulchrone spotted a gap and made space before the ball came to Ali Birch to score with Socino converting.
Rotherham then benefitted from the TMO when he pulled play back to an incident that happened in a ruck which went unnoticed. After a short delay while the video was looked at again by Mr Hughes, Nick Fenton-Wells was shown a yellow card for a tip tackle.
Roth made the extra man count with a wave of attacks. With two men over on the wing they should have scored an easy try but the final pass went between the pair of attackers. The try did come though in the 69th minute and it was Sanderson who went over the whitewash, much to the annoyance of the Blues faithful who thought he perhaps shouldn't have been on the pitch, and Socino added the extras to make it 12-33.
Both teams continued to look for a further score and Bedford again had a great break late on but the final product just wasn't there.

Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
Published on
This is the fourth contribution from the students in the University of Texas at El Paso Molecular Electronics course given in the fall of 2006.
This presentation is presented at the undergraduate level and introduces spectroscopic ellipsometry, which is one of the most important characterization methods for molecular electronics according to James and Tour of Rice University. Ellipsometry is an optical method for measuring film thickness, number of layers, and surface inhomogeneity. The primary advantage of ellipsometry is that the sample is not damaged or changed by the technique.
Lynn Marie Santiago received her undergraduate degree in chemistry at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) where she was a RISE Scholar. She is currently a master's student in chemistry at UTEP and is working with Dr. Wen-Yee Lee in an environmental chemistry lab studying the concentration of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in air in the El Paso area. She is one of twelve students in the state of Texas funded by the National Science Foundation through the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation – Bridge to the Doctorate Program.
This year UTEP nominated Lynn for the Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges award and she has received many awards for her participation in the American Chemical Society Student Affiliates (ACS). In the summer of 2006 she was awarded a scholarship to attend the 4th Annual ACS Summer School on Green Chemistry Washington, D.C.
She has presented her work at various conferences such as ACS, SACNAS, ABRCMS, and JAM. Lynn is a member of ACS, SACNAS, and the National Humane Society of the United States. She also participates in various outreach activities for prospective students in STEM fields as well as being involved with her community by volunteering to judge school science fairs and speaking to students about science. She plans to pursue a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry after she graduates with her M.S. in July of 2007.

Winners & Losers From The Week That Was
Winners & Losers for the week that was in business and deals, Deal Journal's weekly look back and grading system of some of the biggest stories. Follow us on Twitter @WSJDealJournal.
Winner: Lloyd Blankfein: The Goldman Sachs CEO is back on top of the Wall Street pay ladder with what is looking like a $21 million pay day. His payday comes as rivals Jamie Dimon and James Gorman see their paychecks cut. And he's growing a beard.
Winner: Carl Icahn: Long before he had a knock-down battle with Bill Ackman over Herbalife, and life, Icahn took a 10% stake in Netflix. The video-by-mail company said he paid on average $58 for that stake. After a surprisingly strong quarter, Netflix shares ended this week up 71% and almost triple Icahn's price. That put him in line for a $600 million gain in just a few months.
Winner: Silver Lake: The private-equity firm appeared to get a big boost in terms of the equity it needs to buy Dell when it signed up Microsoft this week. Talks are ongoing and a deal could come in the next week, people have said, but the question of how Silver Lake would turn up the cash needed looks clearer now.

User talk:HistoricAccount Abb3w
Red links... annoy me.
Conversation and suchlike
Spam accounts are, so far as I can tell, pseudo-usernames between 6 and 8 characters in length that are, at least for the 3800+ we have registered, purely alphabetical (No numbers or spaces or other stuff). Tommy was indeed obviously an actual person. Also, thanks for today. I did 16 hours yesterday out of sheer boredom. I got more time to read a book today. --Pickled Tink 13:14, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for moving those spammers to the banned category. I'd have done it myself when I banned them, but I'm still learning how to do a wiki proper. -Mal
- De nada. In all honesty, I'm not sure how much use that is. I suppose it might help if you ever get around to wading through all those in Category:Spammer. OTOH, at some point there might be some benefit to simply deleting all those "yeah, another banned account" talk pages. Still, it gives non-admin spam hunters something to do. =) Abb3w 23:52, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks mate --Charles 04:27, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Whats needed with the Erfworld copyrights page? History showed it was nothing but spam from the beginning. --Charles 02:45, 23 May 2011 (EDT)
Yeah, I suspected they might just be randomising the misspelling rather than making it consistent. Obviously to avoid blacklists picking them up. What I could possibly do is start blocking some of the correctly spelled expressions such as "that's the best" and "you've got the" but I'd be worried if those expressions might appear naturally in a page at some point. The worst thing is that what these bots are doing isn't even intended for a Wiki attack, its for a forum. What they generally do is setup accounts to make rubbish posts like this that are seemingly innocent, then they come back some days later and edit the posts to insert spam links so the MODS don't see it since the post has long since dropped out of sight and mind. Maybe this is just a purely malicious attack because we've blacklisted their sites and stopped their working SPAM. At least we know they're using some of the same IP addresses, so hopefully the IP banning will slow it down a little as well, but obviously they have a far larger IP range to post from than IP addresses we've banned. KittenAUTH will hopefully be updated soon. --Charles 01:42, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
Hi! Do you think you could help with creating a reference template for Book 0? I tried to figure out how to do it and realized that I am not such a good wiki user. --Muzzafar 06:46, 26 November 2011 (EST)
- I'll look into it. I'm not particularly competent, either, and I'm somewhat lazy, but I'm willing to play around now and then. Abb3w 18:00, 26 November 2011 (EST)

Emerging Markets Should Drive Food M&A
The big question looming over the food industry's largest investor conference this week is whether the deal to take H.J. Heinz Co. private will spur more food deals.
Emerging markets are likely to be where the M&A action is, since countries like China, Brazil and India have growing bases of middle-class consumers who can increasingly afford branded products. Heinz's strong presence in those markets is what made it attractive to 3G Capital, the Brazilian private-equity firm that announced an agreement last week to buy the ketchup maker along with Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. for $23 billion.
Executives at the conference have been careful to sidestep the topic of Heinz but talked about the importance of expanding their global reach.

SPD Ptl. Jessica McSwain along with SPD Sgt. Keith Smith went to a residence in the 500 block of North Buerkle to serve a man with a warrant.
One Stuttgart man is under arrest for an outstanding warrant through Stuttgart Police Department while another is facing a misdemeanor fleeing charge after running from police Wednesday.
SPD Ptl. Jessica McSwain along with SPD Sgt. Keith Smith went to a residence in the 500 block of North Buerkle to serve a man with a warrant. While McSwain was walking up to the residence she spoke with a 27-year-old Stuttgart man who said the subject they were looking for was not inside the home.
"Which I knew wasn't true because I saw him myself," McSwain wrote in her incident report that was released Thursday.
She walked to the north side of the home to see if the suspect was going to try and flee the scene when the man she had been speaking with ran south on Buerkle and "jumped into a vehicle that was driving by."
The suspect they were serving the warrant on was placed under arrest and transported to SPD.
McSwain later found out the second suspect also had a warrant out for his arrest through SPD. A second warrant was also issued for fleeing on foot.
The Stuttgart Daily Leader does not release names in misdemeanor cases until convicted. Readers can find the listings of those convicted every Wednesday on the Public Safety page of the Stuttgart Daily Leader. They are also listed each week at www.StuttgartDailyLeader.com.

(PRWEB UK) 25 February 2013
New television sets come out frequently. Those looking to get one of the finest on the market and enjoy the best of the best should take a close look at this list. Protect Your Bubble, TV insurance provider, take a close look at the top ten hot TV's of the moment.
10. Samsung Series 8 Smart TV, PS51E8000 – With access to the web, Skype, apps, content and more, the Online Smart TV features are what make this Samsung plasma stand out. It comes in a grey finish and has voice and motion controls. As well as a fantastic picture performance on 2D and 3D it also boasts 3D playback, it is a hard model to better, but just wait.
9. LG Cinema 3D Smart TV, 55LM660T – The 55 inch market is a niche for sure, but this TV appeals to the masses. Bringing cinema to the living room, it has an almost frame-free design. It is huge on features with online and multimedia playback being just two examples. The picture contrast and sharpness are the best ever from this brand but 3D does require glasses.
8. Philips Smart LED TV, 46PFL9707 – If an inexpensive 46 inch TV is in the plans, shop elsewhere. The 2D is fantastic with a combination of direct LED and moth-eye filter pan design for colour and contrast plus the Ambilight system takes sharpness up to new levels but this technology comes at a price. Unfortunately the features and the 3D on this TV are average.
7. Panasonic SMART VIERA® 50" Class ST50 Series, P50ST50 – In the middle of the new range, this plasma panel produces some of the finest pictures ever. The 2D is superb and the 3D is not far behind. It has VIERA Connect Wi-Fi built-in with apps such as Netflix, AceTrax, BBC iPlayer, Fetch TV and YouTube providing on-demand video. But the best thing about this TV is its very reasonable price.
6. Philips 700 Series Smart LED TV, 55PFL7007T – LED technology on 55 inch is not easy, but Philips makes it look easy, especially with this model. Its bright, rich colour and deep black's means there are very few backlight clouding problems usually seen on large edge LED models. The sound and design are outstanding but the input lag and processing tools take a bit of time to learn.
5. Samsung Series 8 Smart 3D LED TV, UE55ES8000 – Smart TV has finally been cemented into the mainstream and this Samsung has the best new features on its interface and richest content Smart TV has to offer. It also boasts a dual-core internal processor which makes for a fine picture quality but manual calibration is necessary to get this TV to work in the light. This is a small point that can easily be overlooked.
4. Philips 8000 series Smart LED TV, 46PFL8007 – It is not cheap; that much is certain. But the combination of the super-slim design, excellent sound quality and great picture quality make this TV rank highly on the list. The great online services will only make this model more attractive to viewers.
3. Samsung D5520 Series 5 LED TV, UE40D5520 – Although this TV has the smallest screen size of all the TV on the list, it is also the best bargain. It lacks 3D but has Smart TV, DLNA multimedia and crystal clear LED picture quality. It is also cheaper than most 32 inch TVs. What's not to love?
2. Panasonic Smart VIERA Plasma TV, TX-P42GT50 – Panasonic is the champ of the plasma TV and this is the knockout of them all. With the lights dimmed this is the best TV picture to date. Its contrast performance, natural colours and high detail give an unprecedented picture quality. All this plus its strong online features make this TV a great choice.
1. Sony 3D LED TV, KDL-46HX853 – A Sony on the Top Ten is almost pre-historic, but this one has the TV giant back on the radar. Dark scenes and motion are flawless as is the 2D and 3D picture quality. Online and multimedia services are top-notch with built-in wi-fi for easy access to apps, catch-up TV and movies. The dynamic edge design is sleek and gives an immersive viewing experience. The sound is great too, some seriously high standards from Sony.

Elijah Wood weighs in on Hobbit animal mistreatment scandal
Actor ELIJAH WOOD has hit back at reports suggesting animals were mistreated during the making of THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, calling the complaint "heartbreaking and ridiculous".
Activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) went public with the news after four wranglers reported allegations of abuse and incompetence, which they blamed for the deaths of 27 animals in their charge on a farm near Wellington, New Zealand, where they were housed between takes.
Director Peter Jackson vehemently denied the allegations, and now Wood, who plays Frodo in The Lord of the Rings prequel, has backed him up.
Wood tells TMZ.com, "That (report) was the most ridiculous thing ever. It was really heartbreaking actually. I didn't even read the full report, I just read the response to it.
"It was heartbreaking because I never saw any of those kind of conditions when I was down there. All of the technicians and everyone who works on the films take the utmost care of the animals that worked in the film."
Wood went on to question the motive of the whistle-blowers who came forward, adding, "The timing is so obvious as well, it's so obvious. We're premiering the movie in less than a week. It's a shame."

Citizens Advice coughs to laptop loss
60,000 records go astray
A laptop containing client information has been stolen from the car of an employee of Citizens Advice in Northern Ireland.
Up to 60,000 client records are held on the computer, which was stolen in the early hours of 5 December 2007. According to Citizens Advice in Northern Ireland, the data stored relates to people from the Belfast area who have sought advice from a Citizens Advice Bureau office within the city.
The amount of information held varies from case to case, but most records would include name, address, date of birth, and national insurance number. In a number of cases, some financial information is also recorded, including the client's bank account number.
In a statement issued on 7 December 2007, the chief executive of Citizens Advice in Northern Ireland, Derek Alcorn, said the organisation had informed the police and the information commissioner of the situation and would be writing to all the individuals concerned.
He said the data was protected by three levels of security, including a high level of encryption.
"It is highly unlikely that a criminal will be able to access the data, but people who have used Citizens Advice in the Belfast area should check for anything unusual," explained Alcorn. "We believe the information, even if it were accessed, would not on its own allow access to a bank account because banks require other security information and passwords."
He added: "It is a fundamental principle of Citizens Advice that people are able to deal with us in confidence. The theft of this laptop is highly regrettable, but given that the potential always exists for the theft of data, we have always sought to ensure that information is secured as strongly as possible through modern encryption systems."
In addition to writing to all those affected and providing appropriate advice, an 0800 helpline has been established to provide immediate advice to any individual. The organisation has also said it will commission an external, high level and independent review of its policies, procedures, and data protection.

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN — Bahram Akradi, Life Time Fitness CEO, may face five years of jail time and/or a $10,000 fine for an incident that occurred last February.
Akradi was charged with felony damage to property and a misdemeanor assault for a parking lot incident at his daughter's high school. According to the criminal complaint, Akradi cut off a high school student in the Minnetonka High School parking lot. When a 17-year-old student honked at Akradi, Akradi allegedly got out of his Hummer and slammed his fist on the front panel of the teenager's 1995 BMW. Because the car damage totaled $749.91, Akradi was charged with a felony.
Akradi also allegedly opened the student's car door and tried to drag him from the car, an allegation that led to the misdemeanor assault charge. The district attorney plans to make Akradi pay for the damage and serve time on a work squad.
Akradi plans to defend himself against the claim, which a Life Time Fitness statement called "unproven, insignificant and irrelevant." Akradi's lawyer couldn't be reached for comment as of press time.

Tom Huddlestone's partnership with Luka Modric was a treat to watch for Premier League fans during the 2010/11 season.
Tottenham Hotspur won numerous points due to the creative pair destroying opposition to bits with their sheer ability.
Since then both players have moved in two different directions. Modric became one of the best midfielders in the world while Huddlestone found himself surplus to the requirements at White Hart Lane.
Spurs were reluctant to depart with Modric at any cost and it took a club record fee to part ways with player. At the same time, Huddlestone almost left the club twice without any fights, first last summer and again in January.
Stoke City failed in their attempts last summer while Fulham couldn't go through with the deal as injuries at White Hart Lane vetoed his exit.
Huddlestone's lack of pace and mobility was the reason why Andre Villas-Boas deemed him surplus to his requirements.
Even though he lacks these two aspects, it will be very difficult to find a player with his passing range. His vision is also unique and it was one of those prime reasons behind Spurs dangerous attacks in previous seasons.
Equally talented with both right and left foot, it will be very difficult to find deep-lying playmakers of his calibre.
It's been 18 months since we witnessed the Huddlestone we know. An ankle injury has curtailed his career but he is still coming back and is showing some impressive signs.
Sunderland are reported to be closing in on a £5million deal for the midfielder. At the same time, Hull City and Fulham are also interested in securing his signature.
For the amount mentioned, he will be a bargain for any of the aforementioned clubs. Huddlestone is a player that can change the fortunes of the team with his sheer ability.
He showed how effective he can be when he was handed regular time on the pitch towards the end of season,.
They should keep hold of him at any cost. He might not be suitable in an athletic 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 formation, but he can be the difference in any game with his vision and passing range.

PopUps: Neil Patrick Harris Gets Called Out on Twitter for Forgetting 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' Star
Neil Patrick Harris spent Sunday night live-tweeting the Tony Awards. During his tweet storm, the actor and Tony Award winner took issue with "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" creator and star Rachel Bloom, who was hosting the show from backstage.
"Who is the woman in the top hat backstage @TheTonyAwards? Gideon remarked that she says 'like' and 'oh my god' a lot. I'm confused, NPH wrote. (Gideon is his son.)
That woman, of course, was Bloom, who, apparently knows NPH in real life and didn't hesitate to clap back at the actor in a tweet.
"I'm a big fan of yours. We've met numerous times and my husband, Dan Gregor, wrote for 'How I Met Your Mother' for 5 years. Notably, he wrote the episode where your character finally meets his father," she responded to NPH on Twitter.
The actor didn't delete his tweet, however, and actually responded back to Bloom the best he could.
"Indeed! Well said. Thanks for the reminder. How was backstage?
Find the exchange below.

When a the return type of a method is a structure type such as ns-rect then the conversion specified in Special result conversion for define-objc-method can be used. Alternatively, and for any other structure defined with define-objc-struct, the method can specify a variable as its result-style . This variable is bound to a pointer to a foreign structure of the appropriate type and the method should set the slots in this structure to specify the result. For example, the following definitions show a method that returns a stucture:
(define-objc-struct (pair
(:foreign-name "_Pair"))
(:first :float)
(:second :float))
(define-objc-method ("pair" (:struct pair) result-pair)
((this my-object))
(setf (fli:foreign-slot-value result-pair :first) 1f0
(fli:foreign-slot-value result-pair :second) 2f0))
