In cases where the convict is found to pose a clear and present danger to society, the sentence may include a provision for "preventive detention" after the actual sentence. This is not considered a punishment, but a protection of the public, and elements of prison discipline that are not directly security-related will be relaxed for those in preventive detention. The preventive detention is prolonged every two years until it is found that the convict is unlikely to commit further crimes.
So essentially it is possible to keep someone in detention his/her whole life (at least in Germany).

Seems the Oslo-attacker's world of warcraft-account has been identified by fellow players/guildies who recognised him from guild forums and ventrillo. The guy played on the server: Silvermoon EU, had a lvl 85 mage called Conservatism. It's such a strange feeling to realize that behind the posts of what appear to be a normal player is such a monster. Weird how small the world has become through internet.
Also some of his political views have been collected from a political message board (Norwegian text), which confirm his anti-islamic, extremist right wing views.

While we're on this, the republicans also have to drop their opposition to "death taxes", or as it's more usually called inheritance tax. Inheritance tax is the only thing that prevents estates from snowballing. I'd keep it high. Just as the sins of the father should not be visited on the son, why should the success of the father be visited upon the son? What has the child done to earn his inheritance? NOTHING. And further, most people will never have to pay significant inheritance tax anyway. Right now the threshold in the US is 5 million! Personally I think that threshold should be lowered... Poor widdle rich yale boys, you can't pay 2 million out of your 10 million inheritance!
At some point it all stops being about personal freedom and a smaller efficient state, and just starts being about unbridled greed. I have sympathy for much of what libertarians and even the tea party talk about, but they have to recognise that their cause has been hijacked (if not outright created and orchestrated) by rich guys who don't give a damn about them.
EDIT: That's not to say the inheritance tax system shouldn't be changed, for instance I'd change it to tax the receiver, not the estate. So if a large estate is broken up into many pieces it's not taxed. So the tax serves it's purpose of preventing the accumulation of assets under a single name.

Especially since her father had been trying to get her clean for years.
If nothing else, may her death along with tons of other rock stars dying cause of drug abuse serve as a reminder.
With this on top of the sad events in Norway, one really needs to treat their lives with more care, we only have the one shot and no one knows if it'll be robbed or lost or when...

This is correct, but it is like that because the USA has had a serious influence in German laws since 1945.. (Not starting about wars, now is NOT the time) which ended in 1990 when Germany re-united.

Maybe all this insane media sensationalism, fearmongering, corruption and craziness just drove him off the deep end? He doesn't strike me as a terrorist. He strikes me more as a person pushed too far, and snapped.

Right. I don't blame Google or any company for doing this, either. It's not their fault; they are corporations, and corporations are amoral. This choice makes the most business sense, and it's not illegal.
I blame the government for not plugging these loopholes. The fact that these loopholes exist means the government is not doing its job.
Edit: Were I in politics, I would lower corporate taxes and close these loopholes, but do so in such a way that the total taxes collected were higher than before. The Republicans would have a very hard time crying foul, and more tax revenue would be generated.

Warning: This is a long, and if you're not interested in the subject matter (maybe even if you are); boring, post. Feel free to ignore the wall of text and proceed with your discussion on economics, on which I will plead ignorance.
After loading the explosives and equipment into his truck he wrote "Exhausted!!! But it was a good workout." He also used smileys such as ":-)" and expressions such as "lol", which is just unnerving to look at in retrospect. He doesn't really strike me as the kind of guy who'd do something like this either reading through his entries, but then again, what was I expecting? Some sort of emotionless machine, straight out of a poorly written action movie, I suppose. Reality can be so much more complex, and what truly went on in his mind may be beyond any of our reckoning.
He claims that Europe is going through a Civil War, which he claims will end multiculturalism and what he refers to as "cultural Marxism." He claims that this struggle has already begun (it'll supposedly end in 2083 according to him, now there's a specific prediction!) During this period, multicultural cities will be defeated, Islam expelled from Europe, and a new beginning will await the survivors.
According to this manifesto, it would seem that he places a heavier emphasis on Christianity as part of his ideological utopia, but it was still premature of the media to label him a Christian terrorist before this was released.
A short excerpt: "I am quite certain that I will be praying to God while I race though my city, guns blazing, while a hundred armed protectors of the system give chase to stop or kill me."
Another, much more worrying one: "The time for dialogue is over. We gave peace a chance. The the has come for armed resistance." He goes on to pinpoint the American intervention in Serbia as the beginning of the European Civil War that has been going on ever since. He claims to be a member of a group that call themselves the Knights Templar Europe, (he was a member of the Norwegian Freemason lodge, but was obviously expelled immediately after news of his crime surfaced.) Worryingly, he also details contacts he has had with other cells of his network, which he claims is international and founded in London in 2002 with 12 members from 10 European nations.
It is, of course, highly possible that he has fabricated and/or exaggerated any or all of these claims.

Well.. at the least if one knows anything about the historical Knights Templar --- this may be a disturbing development. The influx of "islamic" immigrants into Europe (especially without any cultural assimilation or integration) has been steadily dialing up the pressure on the existing northern european cultures for years. If one really thinks a way of life is vanishing (rather than evolving)... then it could get pretty nasty.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In a battle of top-10 teams in the Zesiger Center Pool, No. 4 MIT kept its dual meet record perfect this afternoon, moving to 7-0 on the season as the Engineers swam past No. 10 ranked Amherst by a final score of 193-105. Junior Wyatt Ubellacker (Georgetown, Ky.) and sophomore Colby Dunn (Weston, Mass.) each were part of four victories to help MIT to the win.
Ubellacker picked up a pair of individual wins for MIT, starting with a 20.86 time in the 50 Free that was good for the victory. He then came back later in the meet in the 100 Fly, taking that event with a time of 50.77.
Like Ubellacker, Dunn also picked up a pair of wins for the Engineers. He started by besting the field in the 200 Free, touching the wall with a time of 1:42.19. He also started a 1-2-3 sweep for MIT in the 100 Free, taking that event with his effort of 46.16.
Both were also on the victorious MIT relay teams. Ubellacker swam the third leg, and Dunn the anchor leg on the opening 200 Medley Relay that defeated its counterpart from Amherst by nearly 1.5 seconds in 1:33.23. In the 400 Free Relay it was Ubellacker that led off and Dunn that finished off another win for the Engineers as they helped the team to a time of 3:07.07.
Also picking up a pair of individual victories for MIT was sophomore Michael Liao (Newport Beach, Calif.) who continued his impressive season in the breaststroke by taking both the 100 and 200 races. In the 100 he went 1-2 with Junior Brendan Deveney (Newtown, Conn.) with his clocking of 57.48, coming back in the 200 to lead a 1-2-3 MIT finish with his effort of 2:05.74.
Deveney won the 200 IM for MIT with an effort of 1:55.58. Finishing second was freshman Ben Bauchwitz (Hershey, Pa.), who put together a strong afternoon with seconds in the 200 Fly as well as the 200 Breast.
Sophomore Tim Wall (Newtown, Pa.) swam a strong 200 Fly, leading a 1-2-3 MIT finish with his time of 1:53.70, while senior Ryan TerBush (Smithtown, N.Y.) picked up a win in a close 100 Back race, edging Connor Deveney from Amherst by .05 seconds for the win with his time of 52.72.
MIT will close out the regular season next week with an appearance at the Wheaton Invitational where diving will take place on Feb. 3 at 6:00 p.m. and swimming events on Feb. 4 starting at Noon.

Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
The founders purchased the St. Andrews winery, located at the foot of the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley, and set out to produce Italian varietal wines - Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese and Merlot.
In 1996, after 20 years experience with other wineries, the last 13 at Newton Vineyards where he established himself in the forefront of Napa Valley winemakers, Winemaster John Kongsgaard joined Luna as Vice President and partner. John is particularly noted for his outstanding Merlots and spent seven years in collaboration with Michel Rolland from Bordeaux perfecting winemaking techniques in the Napa region.
With a passion for Italian wines combined with a desire to live slightly on the edge, John happily joined Luna. He was excited by the opportunity to travel to the "Old World" and learn how to adapt their traditional and new techniques for growing grapes and making wine from Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio.

The bustle of San Marcos slows as the temperatures rise and thousands of Texas State University students leave the city for their hometowns. But the bustle on campus continues as hundreds of new students — from toddlers to high schoolers — flock to Texas State for summer camps.
Creativity flows at Texas State summer camps, just as pure water flows from the San Marcos springs. Inquisitive young minds gather on campus each summer to explore their passions and discover new ones with the guidance of university faculty and staff. Texas State's unique Aquatic Sciences Adventure Camp exemplifies this experience. Continue reading

This won't be happening anymore...
Henry Cavill took the bus in London this week. People around him had no idea who he was. Click here to see those photos. Well, that won't be happening anymore. Man Of Steel opens today. And as I wrote last week -- click here for a refresher -- Henry Cavill is so crazy, ridiculously gorgeous in Man Of Steel, I am afraid for him. I almost feel bad for him. Henry Cavill will not only not be able to take the bus anymore, he might have to hide. Because they will Twi-Hard him so relentlessly, he won't be able to breathe.
EW.com has already posted an article about how they're rapidly going insane for him on Twitter. Buzzfeed is all over it too. (Thanks Elyse!) And the weekend has barely started. Good luck, Henry. Be safe.

Editor's Summary
In an interview with the author, Eric Reiss discusses his contributions to information architecture, including his recent book, which explores usability from two angles. He breaks down the topic into ease of use, focusing on physical interaction, and elegance and clarity, addressing psychological aspects, each with five simple subtopics. The analysis lends itself to client presentations and to teaching students. Reiss prompts all to look at how well any product functions and at any website to consider its success on aspects including function, ergonomics, convenience, logic and predictability. Contemplating the foundations of his work, he traces his interest in usability back to redesigning a rocking horse as a three-year-old.

A Conversation with Eric Reiss, Author of Usable Usability: Simple Steps for Making Stuff Better
by Thom Haller
Eric Reiss, one of the pioneers of information architecture, author of the 2000 classic Practical Information Architecture and a former two-term president of the Information Architecture Institute, serves as CEO of The FatDUX Group, an international user-experience design company headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. Eric (with the help of his publisher Wiley) has recently released a new book, Usable Usability: Simple Steps for Making Stuff Better.
As editor for the IA issue of the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and
Technology, I had the opportunity to chat with Eric about this book and his work.
Bulletin: There are already many books on usability. What makes yours different?
Eric Reiss: If you look at most of the other books and some of them are excellent Ive found they often ramble through a lot of related subjects in a rather haphazard fashion. As an information architect, I tend to see opportunities to organize and categorize that others may miss. And I wanted to write a book that everyone could relate to, not just folks in the business.
Bulletin: Your comment makes me wonder about the structure of the book. How did it come about?
Reiss: About six years ago, a client asked me to prepare a one-hour introduction on usability for his development team. When I started to work on the presentation, I came up with two major subject divisions Ease of Use and Elegance and Clarity. Each structure had five sub-categories. I was struck by how well this structure worked and later used it when I taught usability and design at the IE Business School in Madrid, Spain.
Bulletin: Did you find the structure worked for communicating the concept of usability?
Reiss: I saw results right away. After a semester, my students were turning out usability reviews that were as good (or better) than a lot of stuff Id seen from seasoned professionals. I figured if I could get business students with little or no formal design background to understand the concepts of usability, then anyone could learn the basics of this stuff with a little thoughtful guidance.
Bulletin: Did you feel your students then had the skills and knowledge to work professionally in usability?
Reiss: No, but enough to contribute in a proactive and positive way to a design team or to make good choices when there is no team at all. The trick is to get people to start thinking about usability issues and to understand that anyone, no matter what their background, can make important and beneficial contributions.
As you know, I hold great respect for those who can design, facilitate and interpret formalized usability tests. But lets face it an awful lot of products are designed without any testing whatsoever. It would be good if someone, somewhere, stood up once in a while and said, This could be made better. Heres how If business owners, visual designers and even information architects had a better understanding of the issues involved, it would make everyones life easier.
Bulletin: OK. Back to the structure of the book. I want to know more about how you slice and dice usability.
Reiss: Basically, I see two sides to the usability coin: ease of use and elegance and clarity. Ease of use deals with the physical aspects of something:
- Functional (It actually works)
- Responsive (I know its working; it knows where its working)
- Ergonomic (I can easily see, click, poke, twist and turn stuff)
- Convenient (Everything is right where I need it)
- Foolproof (The designer helps me avoid making mistakes or breaking stuff)
The other side of the coin, elegance and clarity, deals more with the psychological aspects. Here are those subdivisions:
- Visible (I can actually see stuff)
- Understandable (I know what Im looking at and get how it works)
- Logical (The stuff I see and the procedures I am asked to follow make sense)
- Consistent (The rules of the game wont change on me unexpectedly)
- Predictable (When I do something, I have a clear idea whats going to happen next)
I have this goofy hope that when you see this list, you will say to yourself, Yeah. That makes sense. Whats the big deal? But to illustrate my point, please take a moment to go to your favorite website. Click around for a couple of minutes while thinking about these issues. Can you see something that could be improved based on anything on this list? I bet you can! Welcome to the world of usability.
Bulletin: Im already thinking about passing this structure on to my students. Did you have teaching in mind when you wrote it?
Reiss: Good question. The basic structure stems from a simple PowerPoint presentation I did for our client, but it certainly lends itself well to teaching. It would be pretty easy to adopt the introduction and the 11 following chapters to a 14-week semester. This isnt how I used it when I was teaching in Madrid because I had a lot of other material to cover, but it would certainly work as a stand-alone course.
Bulletin: You write, for example, about poking, twisting and turning stuff. I dont prefer to get stuck on the labels in this field, but it sounds a lot like user experience design and service design.
Reiss: Ha. First of all, I see usability issues all around me from the way my can opener works in the kitchen, to how my passport works in a distant country. Thats also why the book contains much more than just the standard screenshots.
As for the labels Shhhh! Dont tell my publisher, John Wiley & Sons! But youre right I talk a lot about stuff that goes way beyond the usual links should be blue stuff. Just think about basic functionality for a moment. Weve all seen over-filled trashcans in public places. When they are overfilled, they cease to work you cant put trash in an overfilled receptacle. Is this a functionality problem? Yes, if the container is undersized in relation to the trash it is expected to handle. But it could also be that this is a service-design problem perhaps the receptacle needs to be emptied more often. In both cases, the user experience suffers.
Bulletin: But to return to the beginning of this conversation, you made your name in information architecture. How did usability suddenly become your métier?
Reiss: Theres nothing sudden about it. For my third birthday, my parents had saved up for months to buy me a palomino rocking horse. It was wonderful. But if you really started rocking as three-year-olds are wont to do you hit your knee on the front supports. I convinced my mother to cut down these supports and relocate the springs that supported the horse. Much to her credit, she got out a hacksaw and did just this. It was my first foray into product design and Ive never stopped.
Usable Usability will be available at the ASIS&T bookstore and elsewhere online, where you might also find sample chapters and reader reviews.

Photosynthesis question...

Photosynthesis question...
Energy from the electrons is used by the molecules in the electron transport chain to transport positive H ions from the stroma into the inner thylakoid space.Is this molecule NADP?and where do they get the positive H ion from?Thanks in advance!
Splitting water releases two electrons and two protons. The electrons are used to transport the protons from the stroma to the thylakoid space. The molecules that transport protons are specific cytochromes in the electron transport chain. This proton gradient is used to synthesize ATP using chemiosmosis, and the electrons are eventually passed to NADP+ reductase, which uses the two protons to synthesize 2 NADPH molecules. The NADPH enters the Calvin cycle to reduce CO2 to sugars.

Re: Photosynthesis question...
Aptitude couldn't have said it anymore perfect. And take a look at the figures for a graphical illustration (assuming you have a textbook). The figures always helped my understanding.

60 Year Old Swedish Man Gets Sentenced To 'Conditional' Two Years In Jail For File Sharing
from the punishment-=-crime? dept
As Rick Falkvinge notes in the link above, even if this guy never sets foot in jail, the Swedish court has now established a ridiculous precedent for what file sharing can get you in terms of jailtime. Copyright issues like this should, at most, be a civil issue, rather than a criminal one, and it seems like a very dangerous move by Swedish law enforcement to start trying to sentence people to jail over something done so widely. When the punishment does not match at all with the real "harm" of the crime, people respect the law even less. I'm sure the supporters of such a move think that this will help with "education." There's almost no evidence to support that. Ridiculously punitive punishment does not do anything to stop infringement.
Instead, it seems likely that a ridiculous ruling like this merely helps undermine the respect that citizens give to copyright law.
Earlier today we compared a discussion on whether or not the punishment fit the crime for copyright infringement in France. Falkvinge provides a similar set of info for Sweden. This guy was sentenced to two years and a big fine. What other verdicts have come out recently in Sweden?
- Severe negligent homicide, six months.
- Rape, one year and four months.
- Sexual abuse of a child, ten months.
- Armed robbery with a firearm, one year and nine months.
- Homicide by strangling, six months.
- Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, ten months.

text: Based on the popular British series of the same name, this faster-paced American version follows the daily interactions of a group of idiosyncratic office employees at paper company Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch via a documentary film crew's cameras. Regional manager Michael (Steve Carell) thinks he's the coolest, funniest, best boss ever - which, of course, makes him the uncoolest, most obnoxious and annoying boss as far as his staff are concerned. Salesman Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) has always loved receptionist Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and loves sabotaging his cube-mate, the know-it-all Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson). Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak) started as a young, smart, self-possessed temp, but quickly figured out the real office politics despite Michael's attempts to instill the official point-of-view, and gets himself a job at corporate HQ in New York. The staff is rounded out by quiet Phyllis Lapin Vance (Phyllis Smith), beaten down by the working life Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker), office alcoholic Meredith Palmer (Kate Flannery), up-tight Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey), formerly closeted homosexual Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez), stocky and uncouth Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner), ambivalent kleptomaniac Creed Bratton (Creed Bratton), Sad Sack HR rep Toby Flenderson (Paul Lieberstein), persistently love-struck Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling), icy corporate manager turned Michael's girlfriend Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin), former Stamford branch denizen and Cornell graduate Andy Bernard (Ed Helms), warehouse foreman Darryl Philbin (Craig Robinson), and Pam's ex-fiancé Roy Anderson (David Denman).moreless

This has turned into a very interesting thread indeed! I will only point out once again that there is the Cooperative Cataloging Rules at http://sites.google.com/site/opencatalogingrules/, so there is a choice! For many libraries out there, there is no choice since they no longer have a budget that could cover the costs of redoing everything.

>The philosophy behind FRBR is quite definitely geared toward meeting patron
This idea that FRBR is geared toward meeting patron needs requires serious rethinking. Why do we believe this? I have seen absolutely no evidence for it, but it seems it is just accepted. Are our patrons demanding to find works/expressions/manifestation/items by their authors/titles/subjects? Not my patrons. They want something else. In fact, in the many reports I have read discussing what people want and expect from information today, I have never seen mentioned anything similar to FRBR user tasks.
And yet, the cataloging sector of the library world insists that people want the FRBR user tasks. In examining this, we must first recognize that the library catalog *right now* allows people to do the FRBR user tasks. The current library catalog *right now* allows users to search by varying types of uniform titles, authors, subjects, and to bring together *right now* the works, expressions, manifestations and items, as shown in FRBR. FRBR does not posit *anything new* (except for some possibly useful new attributes, e.g. extent of an expression). FRBR describes in another way exactly the same thing that we do now and have done for a long time. This fact needs to be accepted, understood, and examined.
What FRBR defines as "new" are the *displays*, it posits nothing new in the way of access, and in essence, eliminates the unit card (or unit records). So, if I have 100 different versions of Beowulf in various translations and editions, the user can find all of these right now using traditional catalogs, but in an FRBR world, would not have to look at 100 or so different unit cards, and they will get the FRBR displays, which are almost exactly (if not exactly) the same displays as those found in 19th century printed catalogs.
Once we recognize that FRBR does *not* bring in anything new to the matter, but is a matter of display, and changes nothing in access (aside from eliminating the rule of three, which is only a single rule change that does not need an entirely new cataloging code), other things start to make sense, e.g. typing out abbreviations, or changing "1962-" to "born 1962", which are also matters only of display.
What would be new are the attempts to eliminate ISO2709/MARC21 and to put catalog information in RDF, or any other type of XML format. But this could be done today and you do not need FRBR/RDA to accomplish this.
Research has shown that fewer people are finding the library catalog useful, and are turning to other tools. The scientists left some time ago; the social scientists have been leaving for awhile; and now even the humanities are starting. These problems that people find with our catalogs: are they based on "display"? Or do they lie elsewhere? I ask, does FRBR merely restate the functions of the traditional catalog in late 20th-21st century terminology, or does it offer something new? To me, it is obvious that it offers nothing new. And to be fair, I don't think that FRBR even suggests that it does.
I am not claiming that we give up, or conclude that the records we create are useless. I believe completely the opposite! But we must rethink what we are doing in this new reality (which isn't even so new anymore!), and this can be a terribly daunting path to embark upon.
This is what I am trying to discuss in my podcast series of my "personal journey", by the way. (Apologies for yet another bit of self-promotion. Series at: http://catalogingmatters.blogspot.com/search/label/podcast)

Santa Claus came a little early for nine babies in the Freeman NICU at Freeman West Hospital last Thursday.
JOPLIN — Santa Claus came a little early for nine babies in the Freeman NICU at Freeman West Hospital last Thursday.
"It is absolutely a joy to see these little ones. I am looking forward to seeing them next year, when they come to visit me and can sit on my lap," said Santa Claus. "It is just a thrill, they are so tiny and so precious and so sweet. It is a joy for me to be able to come and do this, especially for babies that are not going to be able to go home for Christmas. It is a blessing for me to come and do this for them."
One of the families who have a baby in the NICU is Johnny and HollyAnn Rea of Neosho. Their daughter, Addisyn Rea, has been in the NICU since Nov. 6. Addisyn was early – 13 weeks early to be exact – and weighed 2 pounds, 1.7 oz. and 13.5 inches long.
"She is doing good. She is at 3 pounds, 6.9 ounces and 16 inches long," Johnny said.
Asked of her emotions for having Santa come and see her daughter, HollyAnn said, "I feel very fortunate and blessed."
During Santa's visit, he had his picture taken with them, and brought a Teddy bear, blanket and a book.
"Each child got a first gift from Santa," he said. "I enjoyed visiting with the parents. They are not able to take their babies home for the holidays this year, so it's a joy for me to come to them and hopefully, bring a little bit of Christmas cheer to them at the hospital."
As far as when the Reas will take their daughter home, Johnny said, "I want her home by Christmas."

Cubs waste lead, Rusin's start in loss to Padres
The Chicago Cubs left San Diego for their bus ride to Los
Angeles at an hour in which traffic wasn't bad. That doesn't mean
the ride wouldn't be a long one.
Their Sunday had the potential to be much better. Chicago broke
open a scoreless game with two runs in the 13th inning, but San
Diego got even in its half, and the Padres escaped with a 3-2
victory with a run in the 15th.
The Cubs have lost 11 of 14, including an 8-6 defeat on Friday
in which they squandered a 6-0 lead.
One positive from Sunday was the performance of starting pitcher
Chris Rusin. The lefty was long gone when San Diego walked off with
a win. He spent most of the afternoon watching the game on TV in
the clubhouse, as his teammates failed to put away the Padres.
But that didn't overshadow his latest fine outing. Rusin pitched
6 1-3 innings and allowed three hits and four walks. He made the
key pitches when he needed to, and kept his record at 2-3 while
lowering his ERA to 2.64. He is 0-2 in his last three starts
despite a 2.00 ERA.
"My offspeed and fastballs today were good," Rusin said. "I
could throw them at any count, and that's what helped me get
through the game."
Rusin continues to be a road highlight for a team that is under
.500 away from Wrigley Field. He has thrown 19 1-3 consecutive
scoreless innings on the road, spanning three starts. According to
STATS, he is the first Cubs rookie starter since day-to-day data
became available in 1974, to put together a scoreless away streak
as long.
"He was great," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "He kept the
ball down and there was not a lot of hard contact."
The Cubs grabbed a 2-0 lead in the 13th thanks in part to Padres
first baseman Jesus Guzman hitting Nick Schierholtz's helmet with a
throw after Schierholtz left the batter's box on what looked to be
a potential bases-loaded, double play.
"I've never seen that one before," Sveum said.
Schierholtz said he got out of the box in an awkward manner
because he tweaked his back on the swing. Then he got plunked by
"Just a nightmare of a play," said Schierholtz, who said his
back and head are probably fine.
The Padres tied it when Ronny Cedeno made a daring dash to the
plate on Kevin Gregg's wild pitch after Cedeno had tripled with two
"I don't think Ronny saw (the ball) immediately," Padres
manager Bud Black said. "Where he is, where the ball is and where
the catcher is, it's not a great view. You don't know how far the
ball is going to come toward our dugout.
"He picked it up and made a decision to go. But if there was a
good throw and tag, he probably would have been out."
Logan Forsythe set up the winning hit with a one-out single
against Hector Rondon (2-1). He moved up on a groundout before
Alexi Amarista was intentionally walked.
Nick Hundley then lined a clean single into center field, and
Forsythe scored easily, giving San Diego its third win in four
games. Dale Thayer (2-3) wiggled out of a jam in the top half to
get the victory.
The game lasted 5 hours, 13 minutes, and the teams combined to
use 15 pitchers. But it wasn't even the longest game of the
weekend: Arizona beat Philadelphia 12-7 in 18 innings on Saturday
NOTES: Cubs C Welington Castillo was back in the lineup after
missing three games with bruised ribs. … Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo
will remain in the No. 2 spot in the order. Rizzo, according to
Sveum, has sparked the offense the last four games. "We're scored
six, four, six and three," Sveum said before Sunday's game. "I'm
not changing anything." … The Padres will start Tyson Ross on
Monday when they open a two-city, six-game road trip in Arizona.
… The Padres aren't sure on their starting pitcher for Wednesday.
With veteran RHP Edinson Volquez recently designated for
assignment, the Padres are juggling their rotation and considering
various options.

text: Hi Phil, Here are some Verilog "tips." I'm cc'ing the reflector, too, in case anyone else is interested. Regarding your code, here are some coding recommendations that I've found helpful in miminimizing unintentional errors: 1. If the FPGA has a reset signal going to it, be sure to use it to initialize your registers. Otherwise, assume that the registers will power-up in random states and plan accordingly. Setting "count = 0" in your code won't guarantee that count will be 0 at power-up. For example, if you have a low-true Reset input (nrst), your state machine code could look something like this... reg [2:0] state0; reg [7:0] q; reg [7:0] fifo_data; reg [5:0] count always @ (posedge FX2_CLK or negedge nrst) begin if (~nrst) begin // reset our variables state <= 3'h0; q <= 8'h0; fifo_data <= 8'h0; count <= 5'h0; end else begin // out-of-reset operation... case(state) 0: if (LRCLK) state <= 1; // wait for LRCLK to go high ........(etc). endcase; end end In the above example, 'nrst' acts as an asynchronous clear. 2. In your state machine's case statement, your variables aren't all defined in each of the case statement's selections. For example, let's look at the following code: case(state) 0: if (LRCLK) state <= 1; // wait for LRCLK to go high 1: if (BCLK) state <= 2; // wait for Wolfson clock to go high 2: begin q[7:1] <= q[6:0]; // shift current data left q[0] <= DOUT; // get the new data count <= count + 1; // increment the counter state <= 3; // next state end (...etc.) In states 0 & 1 you only define the state variable. And in state 2 you also define 'q' & 'count'. There's no inherent problem with this, but you're depending upon the compiler to make some assumptions regarding how you'd like to have variables treated when you haven't explicitely defined them, and, unless you're careful, the compiler may do something else than what you're assuming it's going to do, and this can be a pain to troubleshoot. Therefore, I always make sure that all variables ae defined for each case selection. For example, the code could look something like this... case(state) 0: begin // wait for LRCLK to go high if (LRCLK) begin state <= 1; q <= q; count <= count; fifo_data <= fifo_data; end else begin state <= 0; q <= q; count <= count; fifo_data <= fifo_data; end end 1: begin // wait for Wolfson clock to go high if (BCLK) begin state <= 2; q <= q; count <= count; fifo_data <= fifo_data; end else begin state <= 1; q <= q; count <= count; fifo_data <= fifo_data; end end 2: begin q[7:1] <= q[6:0]; // shift current data left q[0] <= DOUT; // get the new data count <= count + 6'd1; // increment the counter state <= 3; // next state fifo_data <= fifo_data; end (...etc.) In other words, it's a good habit to always define all variables for each possible state. It doesn't so much matter for your example, but if/when you start designing more complex state machines and other logic, it can save you from grief. Yes, it does make the code longer, but it won't impact how it's implemented within the FPGA. 3. I see that you're creating a write-strobe using combinatorial logic: assign FX2_SLWR = ~(state == 4 && FX2_flags[2]); Be aware that combinatorial logic can glitch, and unless your write-strobe doesn't care about possible glitches, I'd strongly recommend you make this a synchronous signal - in fact, it's something that could be easily imbedded within your state machine. (By the way - V1.4.4 of the SDR1K code suffers from this problem and it caused erratic behaviour in my machine when I changed the preamp settings. The code was fixed in later Preview versions). 4. Other tips: 4.1 Your shift register is good. For future reference, you can also implement it using Verilog's concatenation expression: q <= {q[7:1],DOUT}; The one thing you DON'T want to do is this: q <= q << 1; q[0] <= DOUT; (Been there, done that!) 4.2 Quartus will give you a warning for the following expression: count <= count + 1; To remove the warning, make sure that the '1' is the same size as count. For example, given that 'count' is a 6-bit number, you could write the expression as follows: count <= count + 6'd0; // (or 6'b000000, or 6'h00. d is decimal representation, b is bit, h is hex) 4.3 If not already apparent, you can design combinatorial logic using either the 'always' statemet or the 'assign' statement. If using 'assign', you'll need to define your variables as 'wire's. If using 'always', you'll need to define your variables as 'reg's. Here are two examples of the same thing: wire nWrite_strobe; assign nWrite_strobe = ~((state == 3'd4) && FX2_flags[2]); reg nWrite_strobe; always@ (state or FX2_flags) begin if ((state == 3'd4) && FX2_flags[2]) nWrite_strobe <= 1'b0; else nWrite_strobe <= 1'b1; end 4.4 I'm a big believer in commenting code, and you've done a good job. If you've ever had to debug someone else's design, or looked at code you might have written years before while scratching your head and muttering, "What the hell was I thinking?", you'll know what I mean. This doesn't mean that every line should be commented (unless you've done something very obscure or very clever), but, in my opinion, the basic idea should be clearly expressed. Enjoy your verilog coding!

I have been using the "Blue Arrow w/Sq. Wave" button and ran simulations before but I did not check any of the settings you suggested - I'll do that now. I have found my problem. I was using the FX2 12/24/48MHz clock rather than the 24.576MHz clock to drive my state machine. Hence I was getting undefined states. I don't really want to use this clock so will revert to my previous code that did not use a state machine. Please send all the code suggestions that you have - always ready to lean! Perhaps you could post these on the Xylo-SDR forum so others can lean to. Really appreciate your help. 73's Phil...

Difference between revisions of "Sydney/Coogee"
Revision as of 00:32, 30 December 2012
Coogee [2] is a popular beachside suburb and locality in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney, the capital of the Australian state of New South Wales. Coogee is understandably popular with backpackers, but also is considered a quaint family suburb.
After Bondi Beach, Coogee [3]is probably the most popular of Sydney's beaches that face the Pacific Ocean and back on to the City's Eastern Suburbs. Coogee Beach is not a surfing beach as it is know for its dumping waves. Even for beginners the waves would usually not be suitable.
Check out the Coogee Beach website for more information and photos. [4].
Get in
A cliff top coastal walk, the Bondi to Coogee walk extends for six km in Sydney's eastern suburbs. The walk features stunning views, beaches, parks, cliffs, bays and rock pools. The beaches and parks offer a place to rest, swim or a chance to eat at one of the cafes, hotels, restaurants or takeaways. All beaches offer picnic shelters, electric barbecues, play areas, kiosks, toilets and change-rooms. The walk is not difficult, there are medium gradient paths and several staircases with occasional seating. It takes about two hours to complete the Bondi to Coogee Beach section of the walk and another hour and a half if you choose to continue to Maroubra. The Bondi to Tamarama walk is the venue for the Sculpture by the Sea ,Tamarama Beach and Mackenzie's Point is a favorite with surfers and Bronte Beach is popular with families. A board walk takes you past Waverley Cemetery, the most scenic burial ground in the world. Swim snorkel or dive at Clovelly Beach and Gordon's Bay. Enjoy the cafes and Wylie's Bath at Coogee. If you like you can continue to Maroubra Beach via the Lurline Bay wetlands. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, bring a hat, sunglasses, sun screen and water.
Coogee has a wide array of restaurants, cafes, bars, wine bars, ice-cream shops, supermarkets and delis, located on Coogee Bay Road, or on the beachfront facing Arden Street or Brook Street.
Favorite coffee and breakfast places are:

Graduating music student balances diverse interests
By Audrey Webb
Craig Aamot's story is a rather typical one – just that of another student-athlete on a full basketball and football scholarship who earned his undergraduate degree in choral conducting.
Okay, perhaps that's not a typical path for most people, but it seems to be a pattern for men in the Aamot family. Both his father and his older brother are also former student-athletes who have enjoyed lengthy careers in choral conducting. Continue reading

Would a home appliance that could make anything you desired have a magically transformative effect on society? Or would it destroy it? Or would it simply blend into the continuum of amazing technological innovations that reshape modern life all the time? We may soon have a chance to find out, if trends in desktop manufacturing hold steady.
Manufacturing may still be synonymous with factories for most of us—with hulking industrial machines and mass production and corporate ownership. Not so for members of the maker movement, however, who take Tim O'Reilly's MAKE Magazine as their polestar. They have been working for years to change all that with their do-it-yourself ethos and their advocacy for tools and standards that can help anyone take control over the technology in their lives. One of the technologies that best embody their ideals is 3D printing, a form of rapid prototyping that can create solid objects to exact programmed specifications. For the past couple of decades, big manufacturers have used it to (as the name would imply) rapidly make prototypes of contemplated designs for testing and further development.
My most recent article for Txchnologist very briefly summarized the state of 3D printing and other additive manufacturing (or "fabber") technologies as part of the site's Advanced Manufacturing issue on How to Make Things. These days it's nearly impossible to do justice to all the developments in this area: fabbers can make tools, fully assembled robot claws and other objects with moving parts, paperback solar cells, automobile bodies, glass bowls on a beach from sintered sand, models of skulls or organs from MRI scans, or replicas of the Statue of Liberty or your head or Stephen Colbert's head. Detailed design specs for an object can be created anew or copied from online, then fed into a 3D printer to manufacture what's desired. In effect, physical objects can be downloaded from the Internet.
I didn't even have space to discuss the amazing application of 3D printing to tissue engineering: with glorified inkjet printers that spray living cells, researchers can create replicas of body tissues or even whole organs, either by seeding the cells into a 3D matrix or by building up the living structures from scratch. Someday, such made-to-order grafts grown from a patient's own cells could offer important relief from the perennial deficiency of transplantable organs. Last March at the TED conference, Anthony Atala of Wake Forest University wowed his audience by creating a model for a kidney on stage.
The fall in the prices for these units is part of what is so stunning and promising about these devices. MakerBot is now selling fully assembled units of its Thing-O-Matic 3D Printer (gotta love the names for these things) for just $2,500. eMAKER had a special promotional offer of just $475 for kits of its Huxley RepRap. And a new entry called the Ultimaker is apparently more compact and faster than the Thing-O-Matic, can print larger objects and sells for $1,700 plus shipping. Wohler Associates, a consulting firm that tracks additive manufacturing, foresees that 3D printers costing only $75 or so could be making children's toys in a few years.
Yet Wohler also questions whether fabbers will really become common home appliances any time soon: even if the price seems right, most consumers may not have the skills or interest sufficient to maintain and operate the devices—especially not if conventional manufacturers and fab-for-hire services can provide desired products more easily and at a desirable price.
That vision of the future can look disappointing beside some works of science fiction that have explored the possibilities of ubiquitous fabbers. Cory Doctorow's short story "Printcrime" is a particularly well-known one, as are Charles Stross's novel Accelerando and Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age. They paint much more exciting scenarios, but then, too, their fabbers often incorporate nanotech molecular assemblers of a sort that we're unlikely to see soon.
My suspicion is that Wohler is probably correct over at least the more foreseeable future and that fabbers will be hugely important, but they will work their way into society mostly as improvements to manufacturing and as the basis for new services rather than as handy-dandy microwave oven-type home gadgets. But we'll see; being wrong would make me happier than being right.
But what kind of world results from widespread use of 3D printers to make goods on demand? Don't conventional ideas of value go out the window when any object can be duplicated endlessly?
Not necessarily. First, as I mentioned in my Txchnologist piece, fabbers will create their own demands for energy, information, raw materials and so on, so value may still rest on them. But also, I gather from some speculations about such "post-scarcity societies" that the value of consumption becomes supercharged: everyone's basic needs may be covered but perhaps only a minority can get access to the newest, the fastest, the best of anything. Or consumption of endless free goods may be used to help draw attention to something else in shorter supply.
What are your thoughts about the potential for 3D printers and other fabbers? Feel free to discuss any of what I've mentioned here or at Txchnologist.
