HEATER 44 E l I 46 32 3 AIR 4 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention pertains to forming informationstoring, fine-grooved discs such as video discs, and more particularly, to removal of material cut away from the disc master during the process of forming a spiral groove and/or signal-information-representative topography therein.
A typical system for recording and playing back of video information has been described by Jon K. Clemens in copending application Ser. No. 126,772 filed Mar. 22, 1971, which is assigned to the same assignee as the present invention. According to this system, an aluminum disc is first coated with a lacquer and a spiral groove is cut therein with a heated cutting stylus. The grooved lacquer surface is thereafter replicated by producing negative and then positive reproductions thereof by a series of nickel deposition steps. A coating of, for example, photoresist material is then applied to the positive replicated nickel. Video information is then recorded by selectively exposing the photoresist in the spiral groove to a video-signal-modulated electron beam produced by a scanning electron microscope. After exposure and development of the photoresist, the video information appears on the bottom and wall regions of the spiral groove in the form of geometric or topographical variations. This disc is then replicated by metal plating and the plated replica thereafter is used to stamp or emboss vinyl discs by methods known in the audio recording art. The vinyl replica is then metalized to form a conducting surface, which, in turn, is coated with a dielectric material. In playing back the recorded information, a stylus is caused to ride in the dielectric-coated groove. This stylus, along with the metalization and dielectric, acts as a capacitor. Capacitance variations in the groove, which correspond to the recorded video information, are then detected elec tronically to recover the video information.
If, in the above-described system, video information is recorded in the lacquer-coated disc concurrently with the formation of the spiral groove by, for example, a method similar to that used in the audio recording art for recording audio record masters, then it becomes extremely important to insure removal of all chip material separated from the disc during the cutting process. Chips or debris on the record surface cause perturbations of the cutting stylus when it contacts this debris. Such pertubations have a detrimental effect on the quality of information recorded on the embossed or pressed playback disc and exhibit undesirable effects on the image produced on the playback monitor or television screen.
In the audio recording art a relatively coarse spiral groove is formed wherein the audio information is recorded. During the cutting process of this spiral groove, a coarse thread is cut from the lacquer-coated disc and this coarseness facilitates its collection and removal. A video disc, however, has a substantially high groove density of typically 4000 grooves per inch. When the spiral groove and topography are cut in this disc, an extremely fine thread or chip is formed. This fine thread is subject to frequent breakage, inhibiting removal of this material by conventional methods. If an air stream is directed at the cutting stylus in an effort to push the cut material or lacquer chips off the disc, it has been found that the amount of air necessary to effect chip or thread removal itself causes an undesirable pertubation .of the cutting stylus, effectively adding a noise modulation which subsequently appears as a recorded signal on the lacquer disc. A further detrimental effect of such an air stream is that the air passing by the cutting stylus tip tends to cool the heated stylus at its cutting point. Adding further heat to the heated portion of the stylus in order to bring the tip temperature to its proper level generally causes the temperature at the upper portion of the stylus to exceed the melting temperature of the lacquer material. Chip material cut away from the lacquer disc that comes in contact with the upper portion of the stylusmelts thereon detrimentally affecting the cutting stylus.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Apparatus for providing effective chip removal during the mechanical recording of a fine-groove disc utilizes a turntable adapted for rotating an information storing disc and a cutting means for forming a spiral depression and information-representative topography in the disc. A fluid outlet situated adjacent to the cutting means provides a continuous stream of heated fluid which impinges upon both the disc and cutting means at the point of contact. A collecting means is disposed adjacent the cutting means and is associated with the fluid outlet for purposes of accumulating and removing portions of the disc material removed by the cutting means.
, A better understanding of this invention may be derived from the following detailed description and the accompanying figures, of which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of a disc cutting lathe embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic representation of a portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and illustrates a position of the air and vacuum pipes in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 illustrates apparatus for tempering the air supply utilized for removing chips in accordance with the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a turntable 20 is rotated at a substantially constant velocity of, for example, 15 rpm by a synchronous motor 22. A vacuum pad 24 is interposed between a lacquer-coated disc 26 and turntable 20, and operates to retain disc 26 on turntable 20. Vacuum is supplied to pad 24 by vacuum source 28 through spindle 30.
A movable support member 32 is coupled to a lead screw 34 which is driven by a synchronous motor 36. This movable support member 32 has affixed thereto a piezoelectric cutting stylus 38 and an advance ball 39 for setting the depth to which stylus 38 may cut. This cutting stylus 38 may be adjusted to impinge upon disc 26 and may be operated to linearly traverse a radius of I disc 26 as a function of the velcity of motor 36.
A curved pipe 40 of about 0.125 inch outside diameter and about 0.093 inch inside diameter is positioned adjacent to cutting stylus 38 and is fixedly mounted by a clamp 42 to movable support member 32 (see FIG. 2). The end of pipe 40 adjacent stylus 38 is flattened to an elliptical shape, although illustrated for convenience by a circle, such that the height of pipe 40 at this end is approximately 0.063 inch. The portion of pipe 40 that is mounted to movable support member 32 is inserted in a second pipe 44 having an inside diameter.
of about five-sixteenths inch and pipe 40 is adjusted to extend about one-half inch into pipe 44. Pipe 44 is mounted to movable support member 32 by a clamp 46 and is coupled to a chip collecting container 48 which, in turn, is coupled to vacuum source 28 (see FIG. 1). Vacuum source 28 supplies a vacuum of the order of magntiude of a pressure of about 30 inches of water and provides a sufficient vacuum for collection of chips removed from disc 26 during the spiral groove and top ographic cutting process. Vacuum at stylus 38 may be adjusted by adjusting the length of insertion of pipe 40 into pipe 44.
A pipe 50 is fastened to movable support member 32 and is coupled to a source of air 52. The open end of pipe 50 is located adjacent stylus 38, but opposite the open end of pipe 40. Pipe 50 is similar in shape to the aforementioned pipe 40 and is made of the same material and has substantially the same dimensions as pipe 40 including a flattened end at the portion of the pipe adjacent stylus 38. An air heater 54 is interposed in the air line between air source 52 and pipe 50. A detailed description of air heater 54 follows with reference to FIG. 3.
FIG. 2 illustrates the location of pipes 40 and 50 with respect to cutting stylus 38. Pipes 40 and 50 have been arranged in line with stylus 38 to provide the maximum probability of chip material collection in pipe 40.
FIG. 3 illustrates in detail an arrangement for air heater 54. A resistor 56 of about 20 watt capacity is coupled to a variable voltage supply 60. Cooper piping 62 coupled to air source 52 and pipe 50 is closely wrapped about resistor 56 for providing heat transfer from the resistor 56 to the copper piping.
In the formation of the video disc, master disc 26 is rotated by motor 22 at, for example, about 15 rpm. Advance ball 39 is adjusted to cause cutter 38 to impinge upon disc 26 to a depth of about 0.8 microns. Motor 36 rotates lead screw 34 driving movable member 32 towards the center of disc 26 causing thereby a spiral groove to be cut in the surface of disc 26. During this cutting process, chips and filamentary portions of lacquer removed from the groove region are cast upon the surface of the rotating disc. A stream of tempered air is projected from pipe 50 past cutter 38 and towards the adjacent vacuum pipe 40. Air is supplied to pipe 50 through air heater 54 at a rate of about cubic feet per hour. Air heater 54 tempers the air to about 120 C to prevent cooling of the heated cutting stylus 38. Vacuum pipe 40 acts to collect the chips and filamentary debris cut from disc 26 and draws this debris into a collecting jar 48 where the chip material is inhibited from entering vacuum 28. Hence, a low pressure air source may be used in combination with a vacuum system to effectively collect chips removed in the disc cutting process without creating detrimental effects such as induced noise by the rushing air stream or undesirable cooling of the heated cutting stylus.

Wordless Wednesday - Clara Fowlie in Lake View
This is a scan of a slide from Grandma's collection. It shows my great grandmother Clara (Ross) Fowlie at their home on the lake at Lake View, Iowa. It looks like she might be cleaning the window. There is a can of paint there as well, so maybe they were painting window trim. This is from a group of slides that date to before 1960.
Clara Ross,

To quote:
On June 16, he'll use a Russian Dnepr rocket to launch a 1/3-scale Genesis model of his planned commercial orbital space station. That much has been public for a while. What I didn't learn until just now is what will be on that module. Freefloating inside will be 1,000 photocards and small personal objects contributed by Bigelow employees. If all goes well, those items will be continuously blown throughout the pressurized module in a kind of space collage. Six onboard cameras will stream video to Bigelow's new website, which will launch tomorrow or Friday. Seven external cameras will provide views of the Earth from space and the outside of the module. If that doesn't get even the most disinterested member of the public at least intrigued about the possibilities of space travel, I don't know what will. But it gets better. Subject to a successful launch of the first module, Bigelow will launch a second Genesis module in September, and that one will contain photos and other small items contributed by anyone who cares to pony up $295.

and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

A Philosophical Look at Chon-Ji Teul -- Sanko Lewis
The first official pattern of ITF Taekwon-Do is Chon-Ji. The ITF Encyclopaedia defines the first Taekwon-Do pattern as follows:
Chon-Ji [천지/ 天地] means literally "the Heaven the Earth." It is, in the Orient, interpreted as the creation of the world or the beginning of human history, therefore, it is the initial pattern played by the beginner. This pattern consists of two similar parts; one to represent the Heaven and the other the Earth.
The observant practitioner of Chon-Ji Teul[1] will note that the pattern actually consists of three parts, not two; there are three additional punches at the end (movements 17, 18 and 19). This is actually consistent with another symbol from Korean philosophy known as the Sam Taegeuk [삼태극 / 三太極] ("triple grand ultimate"). The Sam Taegeuk ("sam" meaning three) is a three lobed Taegeuk; the extra yellow lobe representing humanity. The Sam Taegeuk reflects the Korean philosophy of Sam Jae, or Sam Yoso; meaning "Triple Essence," or the three fundamental essences that defines the universe: heaven, earth, and human being.
Marc Tedeschi explains it in his book Taekwondo: Traditions, Philosophy, Technique as follows: "In this aspect of Korean philosophy, the mind and body are inseparable within a human being, a human being is inseparable from heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are inseparable from each other. Thus, heaven, earth, and human being are destined to exist in unity."
When looking at the number of movements in each part of the pattern Chon-Ji, it is plausible that the movements have special symbolic meaning as well. The Taegeuk and Sam Taegeuk are often portrayed as surrounded by a series of eight trigrams, known as Palgwae in Korean or Bagua [八卦] in Chinese. A trigram is symbol made up of three horizontal bars. The bars can be either solid or broken and each combination has a particular symbolic meaning. In Chon-Ji Teul, the first part, symbolising Heaven, and the second part, symbolising Earth, each consist of eight movements, which is the number of trigrams in the Palgwae, seen surrounding the Taegeuk. Furthermore, the last part of Chon-Ji contains three movements that coincide with the number of bars in a trigram.
Whether Chon-Ji Teul does refer to the Palgwae is speculative as the ITF Encyclopaedia does not directly refer to it. Regardless, it is clear that Chon-Ji Teul is full of deeper philosophical meaning worth exploring. As "the initial pattern played by the beginner," Chon-Ji sets the practitioner within a specific worldview. It is a worldview based on ancient Oriental and Korean philosophy. The Chinese Taijitu depicts a universe in balance and the Korean Taegeukdo shows Heaven and Earth in balance. The Sam Taegeuk depicts man in blance with Heaven and Earth. There is therefore a possible ascetic interpretation to Chon-Ji Teul: Through the study of Taekwon-Do a human being is to attain harmony with him or herself, and harmony with the universe. This journey towards harmony starts with the initial pattern in Taekwon-Do. This would imply that innate to Taekwon-Do is a quest for achieving harmony: harmony with onneself, harmony with other people, harmony with the Earth, and harmony with Heaven.
An interesting side note may be that a trigram is embedded in the SA-ITF's logo[2]. Noting that the trigram is a symbol from oriental philosophy, the SA-ITF Constitution explains that the trigram represents the philosophical underpinning of Taekwon-Do, known as Moral Culture. In the logo the top bar of the trigram represent the "spiritual creation and heaven", the middle bar represents the "human race" and the bottom bar represents the "physical creation and fauna and flaura".
You can read a more comprehensive version of this post in Issue #18 of Totally Taekwon-Do Magazine, starting on p. 45.
[1] "Teul" is Korean word for pattern. Hyeon and pumsae are synonyms that are also sometimes used.
[2] The explanation of the meaning of the SA-ITF logo was primarily done by Boosabeomnim Chris van der Merwe during his involvement as the SA-ITF's Director of Constitutional Affairs.

FDI Flows to Latin America, East and Southeast Asia, and China: Substitutes or Complements?
Is China diverting foreign direct investment (FDI) from other developing countries? Theoretically, a growing China augments other countries' FDI by creating more production networking and raising demand for resources. However, low Chinese costs lure multinationals away from other production sites. Here we explore this issue empirically. We focus on East and Southeast Asia and Latin America for 1985-2002. We control for the standard determinants of inward FDI, then add China FDI to represent the "China Effect." We found that China's FDI is positively related to FDI in Asia, while the China Effect is insignificant for Latin America. Also the China Effect is generally not the most important determinant of other countries' FDI. Market sizes and policies such as corporate tax rates and openness tend to be more important.

Not to necro a topic that's been dead for a few months, but I felt like I should probably post here as the most active user of a shared account.
We're a him and her, and the Him (me) is far more active here, although she browses, reads, and posts as well. We're a shared enough relationship that this doesn't bother us, and if I'm willing to state her opinion on something, or her experience, I ask her about it to be fully clear. Sharing a computer is one reason, no point in constantly logging in and out between the two. Especially when she's primarily browsing. Although, reading this makes me feel I should clear it up in a siggy as to who is typically active and who isn't. We decided to share in the event that someone wanted to contact either of us. Hope you all aren't creeped out. |

WASHINGTON: The US Senate has confirmed Indian-American Seema Verma for a top health care position in the Trump administration and she was set to play a key role in the government's bid to "repeal and replace" Obamacare.
Verma, who has been described by the White House as the "unquestionably qualified" first generation Indian-American, was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 55-43.
She is likely to play a key role in the health care reform of US President Donald Trump, who has made it a priority to repeal and replace the affordable healthcare of his predecessor Barack Obama.
The second Indian-American in the Trump Administration to be confirmed by the Senate, Verma would head the $1 trillion Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services that provides health services to 130 million people.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley was the first Indian-American Cabinet rank official to serve in any presidential administration.
The Senate vote on Verma's confirmation was mostly on party lines.
A health policy consultant, she is known as the architect of health care reforms in several states, including Indiana.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Verma is extremely qualified with a health policy background and a record of success.
"She is committed to protecting Medicare and modernising Medicaid so the programmes deliver the best results for those who need it. She also understands the challenges that Obamacare has created for families," he said.
"Ms Verma's knowledge and leadership abilities will serve the American people well at CMS, an agency that touches the lives of millions every day. She will play an important role as we work to repeal and replace Obamacare, and put in place health care reforms that work for the American people," said Senator Richard Burr, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
However, Democratic Senator Kamala Harris, the first Indian American Senator voted against Verma.
"I voted no on Seema Verma to head Medicare and Medicaid. I disagree with her ideas to cap and cut Medicaid and her views on maternity coverage," Harris said.
In a speech on the Senate floor, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch said Verma is especially qualified to lead CMS and modernise its programmes to increase the effectiveness of healthcare delivery.
"She brings the experience and, importantly, bipartisan solutions that can and should unite people across the political spectrum in addressing some of the greatest challenges in our healthcare system. I urge all of my colleagues to join me in supporting Ms. Verma's nomination to this important position," he said.

Whipped by the wind that harassed them in the labyrinthine alleys of the Old City, by the intermittent rain and the cold sensation that has taken over the city the last couple of days, the tourists look for shelter in the zouk, in the coffee houses where they drink a tea or smoke a narguile while waiting for a short weather improvement to resume their visit or even better, they relax in a hammam after an exhausting day. The weather is a little bit rough here in Damascus, nights are cold and windy, and during the day the sky is overcast and it often rains. At the hostel's covered courtyard one can hear the tourists coughing after a whole day going up and down the city in such meteorological conditions. But the weather can't be an excuse to spend all day sheltered in such a cosy place, Damascus is a fascinating city, many civilisations have craved for it, it has been conquered and destroyed several times and then again reconstructed. The best is the open and amiable character of its citizens, like in the rest of the country, that make the visit twice as wonderful. After the daily routine of getting lost several times per day in the labyrinthine zouk, the best to get recovered from the cold and the exhaustion is to go to hammam, and even better, include a full massage and a skin scrub. After that one feels momentarily recovered.

It is an irascible sandfairy, or Psammead, and the title character in the Jim Henson Company film Five Children and It. His scientific name is Psammead Crustacea Anostrraca Decapodlium Anthropodolous Wishasarus, and he is approximately 8,311 years old. The ill-tempered and cynical fairy lives inside a shell on the beach, and is discovered by the five children. He grants each of their wishes, but with the proviso that they will always go wrong, or vanish at sunset. It also frequently surfaces briefly, in a cloud, painting, or mug, to observe the results of the wish
Jim Henson's Creature Shop created a hybrid of animatronic puppets and computer generated digital-puppets to bring the magical sandfairy to life. Resembling a combination of an animal and an alien, the character was able to interact with its human counterparts in the film through the use of HDPS.

Frances Lea's melodrama is a tale of two sisters played out over an English summer in Kent.
Gillian (Anna Madeley) drifts into a fruit-picking job and a romance with saturnine Scot Kev (Emun Elliot), only for the idyll to be overturned when her needy, manipulative sister Emily (Christine Bottomley) catches up with her. The film has a slight Play for Today earnestness and lacks a strong ending, but the performances are good and Lea has an eye for a ripe image: the maggot squirming out of a strawberry is like something from an allegorical painting.

^NotSlainPwner666 - Thats the thing with SC. If you don't keep up the pressure in a competitive game you lose. Looked like he had the terran team several times but failed to attack. I can't say that he would have won 100% because none of us really know how the units react to each others attack like they do since they kinda play it every day and they created it but I'd bet that the zerg team could've won several times and I was kinda disappointed. Another thing is that the terran team never gave up. Could've easily said, "Screw it, he's got me out numbered and several ways to attack" and just left but he stayed and used what he had to his best ability. Great to see that he didn't give up though. Also shows that strategy will definitely be a big part of SC again. Thank god cause that was amazing in SC1.

New Chapter has carefully selected the purest organically grown green and white tea leaves for the production of our tea extract. Green and white teas are known to contain the highest concentration of health-promoting antioxidants. New research indicates that the array of healing nutrients in White Tea is even more health promoting than its Camellia cousins.
There is scientific evidence that removing the caffeine inactivates some of the most important properties of the tea polyphenols. There is a perfection of balance in tea: the alertness and thermogenesis stimulated by caffeine is balanced by the restfulness induced by theanine.
Tea has been a medical treasure for at least five thousand years. By the end of the 20th century, scientists identified hundreds of beneficial phytonutrients within the tea leaf that were shown to dramatically enhance immune and cardiovascular functioning and prolong healthy life.
New Chapter takes the world's finest organic white and green teas, extracts them at the perfect temperature, and delivers in concentrated form their full range of unique polyphenols for all to enjoy.

The all-wheel-drive A7, Audi's stylish new hatchback, is great looking, fantastic to drive and has loads of cargo space so it's surprising this new model would need any incentives at all to sell. Nevertheless, Audi is offering 1.9% financing for 36 months and 2.9% for 60 months. Normally you don't see incentives like this on a brand new model, especially one that's been as well received as the A7.

FORT WORTH – In a preliminary victory for a lesbian former professor, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas denied a motion Monday by Tarrant County College administrators to dismiss her lawsuit alleging she was prevented from interviewing for a permanent teaching position based on her sexual orientation.
Jacqueline "Jackie" Gill filed a complaint in September 2011 stating she was unable to interview for a permanent position in the English department after her yearlong temporary position had expired.
The co-defendants, English Department Chair Eric Devlin and Dean of Humanities Antonia Howell, sought qualified immunity, which guards state officials from liability unless there is an established law. However, discrimination by public employees based on sexual orientation violates the U.S. Constitution, said Ken Upton, a senior staff attorney for Lambda Legal who is presenting Gill.
"The Supreme Court of the United States has said that that's not a valid basis for discriminating," Upton said. "What we wanted to show is that it is clearly established that you don't get to judge someone's job performance based on sexual orientation. … (The court) ruled that it was clearly established when they treated Jackie differently presumably based on the fact that they thought she's a lesbian."

Currently Obsessed: Breakfast nook
February 12, 2013
I'm completely smitten with the idea of a little breakfast nook. It's the perfect spot to drink coffee and read blogs on the iPad. Or the newspaper if I was in to that. I love that it's such a casual Sunday morning kind of space as opposed to the more formal Saturday night dining room. It feels grown up and masculine but down to earth enough to let my kids sit there too. A settee and pedestal table are a must.
Do you have a little a little breakfast nook? Do you use it every day for meals or does it become just another pile up for bags and mail? I'm completely obsessed with this first image and plan to make it work in my next house.
17 comments:
We have a little breakfast nook, complete with a corner banquette and the tulip table that you love (well, the cheap-o ikea knockoff version of that table that you love!). I will never ever live in a house without one again - we love and use it that much. I'm actually sitting here on my ipad reading your blog right now! It's where my little one gets all her meals (from her highchair), and the first thing that all our guests are drawn to when visiting!

Australia played a key role in trying to bring the various parties closer together, but in the end there simply was not the political will to work towards a compromise.
From the outset there were several reasons WCIT might fail, not the least of which was the fact that the various technological, political and regulatory issues facing the new much broader telecoms environment were not sufficiently separated and so could not be addressed in a rational and systematic manner. There are simply too many conflicting interests involved under the umbrella of the internet which involve: the users of the internet, their governments, independent private internet companies and national telecoms companies, some of which have been (or still are) owned (or partially owned) by their government.
Simply trying to 'fix' the various governance, regulatory and other industry issues currently under discussion in the traditional way is not going to work. Once we have unravelled those key problem areas we will see that in some of the most critical areas, structural reforms of the telecoms industry will be needed before we can move on.
Furthermore, in the fast-moving world of the internet in the wake of NSA (and no doubt similar activities from other countries) the lessons from the last six months indicate that internet governance solutions driven by national governments are losing credibility.
It also became clear at WCIT-2012 that the national telecoms organisations that have served us well in the management of the telecommunications market over the last 150 years have largely missed the boat in transforming their businesses following the arrival of the internet and the subsequent industry and market changes. At the same time some of the commercial interests that have emerged over recent years are leading to questions about privacy and other rights of individual users. At far too regular intervals companies such as Google and Facebook announce further intrusions into people's individual privacy.
Given a decline in trust in national governments, the inability of the old technology champions in the telecoms world to guide this process further, and the increasing intrusion on privacy by commercial organisations, it is essential to first separate these issues before any international progress can be made on solutions or new structures in relation to the developments currently under discussion within organisations and activities such as WCIT, IGF, ICANN, ITU, etc.
The problem with 'unravelling' the issues at hand, however, is that this will lead to a decrease of power for individual countries and telecoms organisations and it could limit the use of personal data by the internet companies, which they might not like. They all benefit from a more complex environment which they would claim needs their leadership involvement to solve those issues.

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
Select a standards document:
Standards for Mathematical Practice
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Look for and make use of structure.
Attend to precision.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Model with mathematics.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Write and interpret numerical expressions.
1. Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
2. Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation "add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2" as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
Analyze patterns and relationships.
3. Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule "Add 3" and the starting number 0, and given the rule "Add 6" and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.
Number and Operations in Base Ten
Understand the place value system.
1. Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
2. Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
4. Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.
Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.
5. Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
6. Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
7. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
Measurement and Data
Represent and interpret data.
[1 - 5]
2. Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.
Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
1. Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
4. Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
3. Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
a. A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume.
b. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.
5. Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
a. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.
b. Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
c. Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
1. Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
2. Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties.
3. Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
4. Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
Number and Operations—Fractions
[3 - 5]
Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.
1. Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
2. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
3. Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. For example, interpret 3/4 as the result of dividing 3 by 4, noting that 3/4 multiplied by 4 equals 3, and that when 3 wholes are shared equally among 4 people each person has a share of size 3/4. If 9 people want to share a 50-pound sack of rice equally by weight, how many pounds of rice should each person get? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?
6. Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.
a. Interpret the product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (a/b) × (c/d) = ac/bd.)
b. Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent fraction products as rectangular areas.
7. Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.
a. Interpret division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number, and compute such quotients. For example, create a story context for (1/3) ÷ 4, and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (1/3) ÷ 4 = 1/12 because (1/12) × 4 = 1/3.
b. Interpret division of a whole number by a unit fraction, and compute such quotients. For example, create a story context for 4 ÷ (1/5), and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that 4 ÷ (1/5) = 20 because 20 × (1/5) = 4.
c. Solve real world problems involving division of unit fractions by non-zero whole numbers and division of whole numbers by unit fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, how much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 1/3-cup servings are in 2 cups of raisins?

Name: | Charlie |
Age: | One year old |
Gender: | Male | Breed: | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel |
Home: | Manhattan Beach, California, USA | ||
Charlie is our little "butterball." Yes, weighing in at 31 pounds he is a bit large for his breed but there is just more of him to love. My daughter Jenny fell in love with this particular breed by looking at pictures on the Internet. Soon she was begging for this "second" dog to add to our family of pets which already included four cats and a Golden Retriever. After a while I began to adore those cute little faces as well and found myself researching breeders. When we got Charlie he was about the size of a grapefruit and we fell immediately in love with him. He loves to play tug of war and has a bit of a stick fetish. He loves to chase them and then make you chase him to get them back.He also loves the water. We have taken him out on the ocean several times on our fishing boat and he will settle himself in your lap for the ride to Catalina Island. Once there he will chase and be chased by his big sister Sammy, (the golden retriever) in the surf. He has even been cajoled out into the surf swimming with, of course, the toss of a stick.
If you pat your lap he will lumber over and plop himself down for some serious scratching and loving and who can resist that? He always has kisses to give to everyone, especially small children. He still chases a cat or two around the house when he is feeling playful. But mostly his interactions with the cats can be quite endearing. We have managed to snap a few photos of some tender moments snuggling and kissing our friendly felines. And oh, did I mention he snores, quite loudly, but we don't mind. I have to admit that Charlie gives us many things to snicker about, his size, his snoring, his occasional grumpy growls, and other endearing habits too numerous to mention. But we all admit that life without Charlie is unimaginable. We love our Charlie!!! |

Like to sleep in your car? Not in Rancho
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA – Anyone found sleeping in their vehicle on city property could face a fine of $1,000 or six months in jail.
The City Council in Wednesday voted 4-1 to pass an ordinance that the city's Chief of Police Lt. Brian Schmutz said will give his deputies greater control in responding to 'suspicious person in car' calls.
Schmutz told the council in the last year his department has responded to 330 calls for such service. At least a couple dozen have been found to be "sleeping in cars" calls, he said. Others, he said, residents voiced concerned about people doing drugs in their vehicles or casing a neighborhood.
Schmutz said he asked the council to take a look at this law after doing an analysis of training needs and patrol schedule for his deputies.
"One tool used to enforce neighborhood safety would be this ordinance," Schmutz said.
He also pointed to cities such as Lake Forest, Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo Tustin, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente Laguna Niguel, Costa Mesa and Irvine, who already have the law on their books. In some cases, the laws are more stringently enforced allowing no sleeping in cars at any time, he added.
Schmutz also cited an arrest of a man found sleeping in his car last year near a school zone. In this case, the man arrested for possession of a loaded firearm. During their investigation deputies also found police insignia and handcuffs. Later, the located the keys for the handcuffs in the man's socks, Schmutz said.
The ordinance, which will go to a second reading on March 14 to allow for more public input, would prohibit anyone from sleeping in a car, trailer, camper or tent traveler parked on a city maintained street or alley between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. It will not be enforced on private property. If passed then it will go into effect 30 days later.
Councilman Jesse Petrilla said he was not in favor of the law citing safety concerns such as a tired driver.
"When the 241 Toll Road is complete travelers may be passing through from as far away as San Diego," he said. If they feel they may fall asleep, this could be dangerous. If someone is down on their luck, I believe the last thing they need is a $1,000 fine or six months in jail."
"I believe in private property rights and limited government," he said. "This goes a little bit farther than I feel comfortable with."
The council discussed issues regarding a tired driver and homelessness as well as the possibility of an intoxicated driver.
Schmutz pointed out that homeless people could still sleep at other locations such as commercial centers, restaurants or camp grounds. He pointed out that someone sleeping in their car in a neighborhood would not be fair to residents and reminded the council there are no bathroom facilities in such a case. He also added that a sleeping person is vulnerable when sleeping in public.
As far as motorists sleeping off a hangover, Schmutz said a person can still be arrested for DUI if they are found behind the wheel with keys in their car, even if they're asleep.
"Our City Council is committed to providing every possible tool to our police department to ensure the streets and neighborhoods of Rancho Santa Margarita always remain the safest in the state of California, Mayor Tony Beall said.

List items
1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I am hovering around the 100 hour mark in this game and I still have no desire whatsoever to put it down. Not only that, but I still have like 3 or 4 secondary quest lines to complete (Mages Guild, Companions Guild, choosing sides in the war, etc), and about a billion tertiary tasks. If that isn't value for your money, I don't know what is.
From fighting dragons to stealing from shopkeepers and selling them back their own merchandise to discovering caves that accidentally end up side tracking you for a half hour while you're on your way to doing your actual quest, to turning into a damned werewolf, to smithing and leather making and cooking and crafting and potion making, this was EASILY my favourite game of this year.
2. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
...So I confess that I totally fell into all the anti-hype that this game had going for it going into its release. I loved the original Deus Ex, and believed that this game was not shaping up to be a sequel worthy to the name. I was really surprised and happy to hear that all the trepidation surrounding this game pre-launch was unfounded though, and bought it right away.
Boss fights aside, this game really blew me away, and made me feel all warm and fuzzy and nostalgic for all the great things this game did that... well... games just kinda don't do any more. From the multi-path level design to the 1-9 slots being for weapons and items, to the genuinely great story, I loved the holy hell out of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Side note: I can't wait for the future. I want biotic EVERYTHING.
3. Portal 2
Amazing puzzles, sharp, witty dialogue, great characters, and a whole slew of new mechanics that felt significant without feeling overwhelming. I didn't get to play co-op when it first came out and just started recently, and am having a total blast with it. Great, great game.
4. Bastion
I really enjoyed Giant Bomb's "Building the Bastion" series, and really was hoping this game would be great.
Bastion isn't great.
Bastion is amazing.
That the game has all the production value and polish of a big name studio release, but was made by a handful of people at what I assume is a very modest budget is really amazing to me. Often times indie games come with a caveat of "it's a pretty good game... it has some issues, but you know, it's an indie game so what can you really expect?". Well friends, Bastion doesn't have any such shortcomings. It is polished to a mirror sheen.
The dynamic dialogue, the RPG elements, the combat, everything about this game is fine-tuned to perfection. The game is also rife with awesome little touches here and there, which really show how much love was put into this game.
If you don't already have this game, you really should get it. Like, for serious.
5. Saints Row: The Third
Dude speaks in auto-tune. The end.
6. Dead Space 2
Though nowhere near as scary as the original Dead Space (which... I mean that wasn't really that scary to begin with), Dead Space 2 was an amazing ride. I remember being in awe of how amazing everything looked. The 3D artist in me was beside myself at the transformation in real time of the crew member at the start of the game into a necromorph. That must have been a real technical NIGHTMARE for some poor dev at Visceral, but hot damn was it impressive.
The gunplay was really REALLY good, the atmosphere was amazing, the deliberate mocking of Scientology was appreciated, and the sound design was impeccable.
Also, you return to the Ishimura. That was a really great section
Also, stick a needle in your eye
7. Batman: Arkham City
I loved Arkmam Asylum.
I love Arkham City. Though I did have a few small issues with it:
I wish they didn't just LITTER the goddamned city with Riddler trophies and I didn't like that they all but got rid of the actual riddles.
The open world, in a way, felt kinda unnecessary to me. It really didn't add much to the gameplay, besides gliding around for an extra 5 minutes to get to the next building where the actual game took place, and it necessitated the really bizzare contrivance that was the crux of the entire story (the people of Gotham aren't safe while criminals are locked away at Arkham Island; lets get them all OFF that island, onto the mainland, like 5 minutes from where we live, and lets also forfeit a third of our city to accommodate all this.
I did, however, love getting to play more Batmans. I loved the brawler mechanics, the feeling of being a total badass, even though a few bullets are all it takes to take you down, and I loved how unafraid they were to go ALL THE WAY SIDEWAYS AT THE END OF THE GAME HOLY HELL.
I mean... JESUS.
8. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Did you like Uncharted 2? Yes? Ok then, check it out:
You'll like Uncharted 3.
Kinda more of the same. Ya the aiming was... a bit weird to me (I didn't learn of the issues with it until after I finished the game, haven't gone back yet since they patched it), and ya it doesn't necessarily blow you away like Uncharted 2 did, and ya parts of the story kinda didn't make any sense (what was the deal with the wedding ring? They make it sound like Drake and Elena were married but no one sees fit to actually mention it in any way. Also, tacked on pirate level, which, while awesome at the end, added nothing to the plot at all)
Anyway, It's still an Uncharted game. Plot is sufficiently pulpy, character interactions are great, gameplay (weapons aside) is still great. Still a great game overall.
9. L.A. Noire
L.A. Noire was awesome. I loved that it was a Rockstar game with an open world and driving and shooting and all the trappings of... well, the kinds of games Rockstar makes, but it was totally not one of those games at all. I was blown away by the facial tech that was used, I think the setting and tone were great, and Captain Donnelly was awesome.
That said: gg Brendan Mcnamara on treating your employees like total garbage and pretty much destroying Australia's game development scene. You are a real scumbag.
10. You Don't Know Jack
When I was younger, me and my best friend used to play You Don't Know Jack: the Ride like, everyday. Because of that, I was really excited to play the newest incarnation, and I was very happy that I wasn't let down. The writing is still as sharp as ever, the questions are written really well and are genuinely funny, there is a question type called "Cookie's Fortune Cookie with Cookie "Fortune Cookie" Masterson". Ya, so much to love here. If you're a fan of trivia, you should really pick this up.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Displaced families inquire about relatives[TamilNet, Sunday, 06 December 1998, 19:38 GMT]Oddusuddan residents who had taken refuge at Puthukudiyeruppu in the Mullaithivu district have been making enquiries about the fate of their family members who remained in the town, said the Voice of Tigers (VoT) radio. Officials in Mullaithivu have taken steps to find out the fate of displaced people's relatives in Oddusuddan, said the radio. The officials have promised the relatives that they will contact the appropriate civil authorities in Vavuniya, and collect information about the people concerned. Meanwhile the civil authorities in Puthukudiyeruappu have said that the initial relief assistance to feed the displaced people for three days was over today. They have said that they do not have any provisions to allocate money to continue to supply cooked meals but to provide dry rations as relief assistance with the approval of the government. Officials have said they had already made requests to the International Red Cross Committee (ICRC) in the area to provide facilities for drinking water and toilets for the displaced. SLA sources said yesterday that arrangements were being made to transport nearly 750 civilians, who were in the Oddusuddan area when it was captured by the Sri Lankan Army (SLA).
