Hundreds show up for casino’s grand opening

online casino gambling
Hundreds of people flocked to Hollywood Casino Perryville on Thursday to celebrate the official opening of Maryland's first slot machine venue in more than 40 years, despite the worst rainstorm of 2010.

The $97.5 million facility opened Monday, 3 days ahead of the official grand opening and a month earlier than originally projected by Wyomissing, Pa.-based casino owner Penn National Gaming.

"This is a big day for Cecil County, Perryville, the state of Maryland and people who live in the area and enjoy casino gaming," general manager Himbert Sinopoli said.

He later told the audience that the casino has attracted 21,200 visitors in its first three days of operation.

Casino sod-turning set

online casino gambling
Officials will turn the sod on Manitoba’s third aboriginal-owned casino Thursday while announcing a partnership with an American Indian band.

At 10 a.m. Thursday, dignitaries with shovels full of dirt will mark the start of construction of the Spirit Sands Casino.

The gaming palace will be built on Highway 5, about 15 km south of Carberry and adjacent to Spruce Woods Provincial Park, on land owned by the Swan Lake First Nation.

Plans for the $40-million casino include 300 slot machines, 5 gaming tables, food and beverage services, and likely a hotel at some point in the future.

Rob Ballantyne, an economic development business analyst with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, said Thursday will be an exciting day when years of planning will come to fruition

Sparks fly as councilors question officials on casino deal

online casino gambling
FALL RIVER — Kenneth Fiola, the city’s point person on developing 300 acres envisioned for a tribal casino resort and marketing an alternative biomanufacturing area, told the City Council the prospects of a $500 million investment with 4,500 good-paying jobs over 3 to 5 years made this a gamble the city couldn’t and shouldn’t pass up.

“In the short term,” the casino’s a game changer. ... Clearly no one project ever represented the possibility of 4,500 jobs for all segments of our labor force,” Fiola, who’s headed the Fall River Office of Economic Development for over 20 years, told the council Tuesday night.

For 2½ hours of intense questioning by several councilors, Fiola, Corporation Counsel Steven Torres and Redevelopment Authority Chairman William Kenney explained and defended decisions made since the spring that some saw as negating progress.

It was the most public dialogue with key officials of Mayor Will Flanagan’s key casino players since he announced the controversial sale of the 300-acre envisioned biotechnology park near Route 24.

Aqueduct Casino Work to Begin Soon

online casino gambling
"All along, I have said that securing this deal and moving ahead with the project at Aqueduct is critical for the future of New York," Gov. David Paterson said in a statement. "The state, in partnership with Genting, has the opportunity to create jobs for the community and to revitalize this area. After almost a decade of delay, this project is finally becoming a reality and all New Yorkers will benefit."

Genting New York officials, after turning over $380 million in licensing fee payments to the state, said they’re prepared to quickly start construction on the Aqueduct casino project.

"We are planning to make this a very impressive entertainment destination for all of New York," said Michael Speller, president of the company that is owned by a Malaysian-based casino corporation.

Speller said construction will begin "almost right away" after final environmental permits are issued for the project, which will feature 4,500 slot machines. He said 1,600 of those devices will be turned on by sometime next spring, with the rest up and running 6 months later. The full project development, which will include restaurants and entertainment space, will come within 18 months later.

First slots parlor gets state license, will open earlier

online casino gambling
Maryland's first slots casino is officially cleared to open its doors to the public Monday — 3 days ahead of schedule — after state officials issued the Hollywood Casino of Perryville an operating license.

Maryland Lottery Director Stephen Martino signed the license Sunday evening allowing Penn National Gaming, the owner of the casino, to begin operations after a successful trial run of the facility on Saturday.

"Everything is a go and we will open at 8 a.m.," said Marc DeLeo, director of marketing at the casino. "We’ll open our doors as the first casino in the state. We passed all the tests, and they gave us the go ahead."

Hollywood Casino was originally scheduled to open Thursday, and still has plans to hold grand opening events that day. Monday's "soft" opening is slated for 8 a.m.

Md. casino to open next week
After years of bitter debate and numerous setbacks, Maryland could actually have an operating slots casino this time next week.

Members of a state commission were greeted Wednesday by the sounds of whirring and dinging as they entered the nearly complete Hollywood Casino Perryville in the northeastern corner of Maryland, a 1,500-machine facility scheduled to make its public debut next Thursday.

Technicians scampered among the machines on the gaming floor. Minor construction remained to be done inside the cavernous, art deco structure, where oversize movie posters were suspended from the ceiling. And some major landscaping still must be completed.

But representatives from the casino, owned by Penn National Gaming, insisted they’re on schedule for a grand opening with dignitaries including Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), who has championed the state's slots program and is up for reelection in less than 6 weeks.

Sands is winning big at the gaming table

The steady flow of buses from New York and New Jersey was a clue; now comes the proof: Table games are a winner for Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem.

The south Bethlehem casino took in $4.3 million on 89 games that include poker, roulette, blackjack and craps. That figure was the 3rd highest in the state for August, behind the $6.3 million taken in by Parx Casino in Bensalem and the $5.9 million brought in at Harrah's Chester Casino and Racetrack in Chester.

The numbers, reflecting the first full month of table game revenues statewide, were released Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

Table games opened in Pennsylvania in July, but because the state's nine casinos opened on three different dates, and none was open the entire month, August was the first time revenues showed casino performance on a level playing field.

New Casino, Sugar House, Soon To Open In Philadelphia
On Sept. 23rd, SugerHouse Casino will open to residents. Established in Philadelphia, this will be the 11th casino to open in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

SugarHouse, which had been subject of protest by the anti-casino groups within the region, is going to open despite the opposition. The casino will open with 45,000 square feet (Sq Ft) of gaming, including 40 gaming tables as well as over 1,500 slot games.

More than 750 people will be employed by the casino.

Next Thursday the casino will open at roughly 1 PM.

Blackjack, craps, roulette, mini-baccarat, Pai-Gow Poker, and 3 and 4 card poker will all be built into the new casino. SugarHouse will lack a dedicated poker room. A high stakes are will be closed off for high rollers.

The beautifully designed casino will be water front.

Compared to online casinos, SugarHouse will contain as many different slot games, though they will lack a few table games. Pennsylvania online casinos have proven to be a major hit, however.

Atlantic City will take this 11th Pennsylvanian casino as another source of competition.

Coast casino revenue on hot streak

BILOXI — For the first time in more than a year, Coast casino revenue topped $100 million in August — and for the first time since 1994, revenue was higher in South Mississippi than at the river casinos.

The 11 Coast casinos won $101.3 million in August, a 5.6 % increase over August 2009.

Winnings at the 19 river casinos totaled $100.7 million, a 7.9 % dip from August 2009.

Economists had feared the Gulf oil spill would send Coast casino revenue tumbling when tourists stayed away from the beaches.

“The good news is the casinos held their own through this,” said David Butler, director of the International Development doctoral program at University of Southern Mississippi. He said that showed a disconnect for consumers between the casinos and the sand and seafood.

Louisiana casinos' winnings decline in August

Louisiana's state-licensed casinos, which have been fighting for fewer wagering dollars during the lengthy economic downturn, recorded a small dip in gambling revenue last month as compared with August 2009.

The 13 riverboats, Harrah's Entertainment Inc.'s downtown New Orleans casino and the four race track casinos won $193.4 million last month - down 2.4 % from $199.8 million in August 2009, state police reported Thursday.

The tally was down 11.9 % from $219.4 million in July 2010. July is typically one of the busiest months for the casino business, including the height of the summer season and a major holiday weekend.

After months of lengthy downturns in year-to-year comparisons of winnings, business has apparently picked up a bit - and not only in Louisiana.

Macau Casino Revenue May Rise 40% to $2 Billion This Month, Macquarie Says

Casino revenue in Macau, the world’s biggest gambling hub, may grow as much as 40 % this month to about $2 billion, according to Macquarie Securities Ltd.

Macau casino sales were HK$6 billion ($773 million) in the first 12 days of September, said Gary Pinge, Macquarie’s regional head for consumer and gaming research, in a note to clients today, citing unidentified people in the gambling industry. “If the market holds up for the remainder of September, it would represent 35 % to 40 % growth year on year,” he said.

Growth for the six casino operators in the former Portuguese colony is slowing because sales in the second half of last year were higher than in the first six months as the economy rebounded. Las Vegas Sands Corp., which derived 73 % of 2009 revenue from Macau, in June forecast growth of more than 30 % for the second half, slower than the 67 % expansion in the first six months.

Casinos in Macau, the only place in China where they’re legal, may almost match August’s performance this month, Pinge said. “Macau’s gaming market is showing little sign of sequential slowdown,” he said. “Even August showed strong month-on-month growth in VIP gaming volumes.”

Churchill Downs To Acquire Mississippi Casino For $138M

Churchill Downs To Acquire Mississippi Casino For $138M
Churchill Downs Inc. (CHDN) has agreed to acquire Harlow's Casino Resort & Hotel in Mississippi for about $138 million as the horse-racing company continues to expand its business into casinos.

Harlow's, which started operations in 2007, is owned by Levine Leichtman Capital Partners Inc. and Oak Hill Advisors LP, as well as private investor Jess M. Ravich.

At that time, the project's price tag was put at $70 million. The 1930s-themed facility has a 33,000-square-foot casino, a 105-room hotel and an arena with 2,600 seats. Located near the Mississippi River, Harlow's had $50.4 million in revenue for the year ended July 31.

"The key determinants of our decision to acquire Harlow's were further strategic business and geographic diversification," said Churchill's President and Chief Executive Robert L. Evans. "With the acquisition of Harlow's, we continue our diversification strategy across our racing, gaming and online business units." The company also bought online horse-race handicapping and betting site Inc. for $126.8 million in November.

New site should help blind students pursue science

Posted: Monday, February 15, 1999

   WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - By running his hands across a scientific graph, Cary Supalo is able to take in by touch what others take for granted - the full-color diagrams and charts that illustrate science textbooks.

   In the past, as the blind Purdue University student read the Braille on his textbooks, the text was accompanied with a simple tag: illustration omitted.

   But for the last two years, Purdue has provided more than text. A program called Tactile Access to Education for Visually Impaired Students has generated thousands of scientific diagrams with puffy, raised lines and Braille labels to aid blind students.

   "As they say, a picture's worth a thousand words," said Supalo, who is pursuing double major in chemistry and communications. "From an access standpoint, it's made my life a lot easier."

   Now blind students at other colleges can also "view" the diagrams, thanks to an Internet program that allows other schools to replicate the drawings.

   "It's exciting, it's breaking frontiers," said TAEVIS director Sue Wilder. "It's really challenging the system that currently exists."

   Until the early 1980s, blind students were strongly discouraged from pursuing science careers, Wilder said.

   "They were simply told it's too visual, it's too expensive, go take a liberal arts course," she said.

   Eventually, a special Braille code was developed that eased the translation of mathematical and scientific information. Textbooks could be translated, but not the illustrations.

   "That information was not being transmitted to the blind student," Wilder said.

   Until two years ago, when a special type of paper hit the market, backed with plastic and coated with a heat-sensitive chemical. A drawing is printed onto the paper in black ink, then the paper is run through a heater, what people in the TAEVIS office call "the toaster."

   The heat causes the black ink lines, Braille letters and markings to bubble up, leaving a raised image.

   "It really gives the blind student, the Braille readers, equal access to the material," Wilder said. "This way, the students get to absorb the data, analyze it and draw their own conclusions, which is a more complete learning experience."

   However, providing such a service is time consuming and costly. Purdue's TAEVIS office is bustling with nine full-time employees and five part-time students working with 20 computers and a $40,000 Braille embosser.

   Purdue pays $500,000 a year for the service, which assists its three blind students and one student in Illinois.

   "It is a huge expense for schools like Purdue," Wilder said. "For small schools, it's an expense that's quite substantial."

   That's where TAEVIS Online comes in. The Web site costs less than $100 to subscribe to and allows schools anywhere to download the more than 2,500 images TAEVIS has in its library. Each download costs about $2.

   The special paper is about 70 cents a sheet and the "toaster" costs less than $1,500. Wilder believes that schools that don't have the time or resources to redraw scientific diagrams can access this site and save time and money.

   "Why should anyone else have to draw it once we've drawn it?" she said.

   Once Supalo graduates this spring, he plans to pursue a doctorate in inorganic chemistry. Wherever he winds up pursuing his advanced degree, he believes the TAEVIS program will continue to help out.

   "I get the feeling that I will be using it in the near future," he said. "It's nice to know that I don't have to worry about whether I can get a picture in Braille."

Shipp: Bench for governor's race in 2010 isn't deep at all

Posted: Wednesday, May 14, 2008

more Shipp columns

The decision of anticipated gubernatorial aspirant Johnny Isakson to remain in the national political realm and run again for U.S. senator is a terrible blow to Georgia. His announced decision to stay put left us without a first-rate candidate for governor, one with presence and an understanding of our needs, one who firmly believes all roads from the Gold Dome should lead to the economic well-being of the Peach State.

Who can blame him for deciding to stay in Washington? To us outsiders, he seemed a shoo-in as the next governor, but that is not quite true. Isakson has a load of political baggage. We just don't hear the negatives because other would-be candidates see no reason to bring them up.

Why start chanting "soft on immigration" when that issue has slipped out of sight for the moment? Then there's the whispered "but he's from Atlanta" smear, and the ...

Aw, forget about it. Let Isakson keep his Senate seat even if he is doomed to minority status in the upper chamber for the next decade or so. Let's start thinking about the next governor.

The state Chamber of Commerce represents most of Georgia's business interests and usually has the most leverage in the Capitol.

So having the chamber compile an A-list for governor seems perfectly natural. It has happened several times before. Here's the kind of governor we might be seeking in the 2010 election:

The 1962 Carl Sanders model would work just fine. Georgia's first popularly elected governor was (and is) smart, articulate and ambitious. He possesses strong leadership qualities, and, in his heyday, he looked like a governor from central casting. Sanders still would rate 9.5 points on any 10-point scale on any interview for a new Georgia governor.

The Georgia electorate decided in 1970 that Carl was just too smooth to be their governor again. So they turned to the Lon Chaney of Southern politics: Jimmy Carter. As a candidate for the Democratic primary for governor, Carter hit it off with a majority of voters. He avoided that white-shoe lawyer appearance and told folks he was just a dirty-foot peanut farmer. He also understood the Southern code language on race. Unfortunately, the next 21st-century governor might need the same talents.

Regardless of who winds up carrying the mantle for the two parties in 2010, the candidates ought to understand the necessity of and the mechanics for moving Georgia ahead again.

A re-emphasis on improving higher education should be near the top of their official "to do" list. No, we don't mean another million-dollar bacchanal to celebrate bowl championship football teams. As hopeless as enhancing K-12 sometimes seems, the next governor needs to return to the days of promoting public education. He or she needs the ability to tout, with a straight face, a personal agenda of becoming Georgia's "education governor."

Priority items for a new governor also must include paying attention to transportation, plentiful water and clean air. Holding on to the status quo in these areas will not help anybody in Georgia's future.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the next governor could truthfully tell a new industrial prospect the following:

"Georgia will soon have the best transportation system in the country. Our schools are improving every day and the University System is changing its emphasis from football and committing felony assaults to computer engineering and finding cancer cures. Sure, we know that the big money comes from sports and sports are fun, but they are not our main mission.

"Thanks to long-term planning, we have abundant clean water to serve our new businesses and growing communities. So you won't have to worry about the annual crisis cry over water.

"And, oh yes, we are trying to recruit public employees who believe that dishonesty is shameful. We will make locating new industry in Georgia a quick and easy process. No bulging white envelopes will be required."

Isakson's good-bye to the draft for governor showed just how empty the Georgia bench for governor stands. Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle looks OK and several little-known lawmakers might like to move into the mansion on West Paces Ferry. Not many of those aspirants appear to have the qualities of an Isakson or Sanders toward attaining for Georgia the titles of "Best State in South, Best for Education, Health and Transportation. Best for business."

Hitters warmed to white helmets

Posted: Thursday, June 19, 2008

OMAHA, Neb. - Georgia is one of a handful of college baseball teams to sport white batting helmets this year.

The seventh-ranked Bulldogs shelved their red and black shells for a new look this season.

The change was welcomed.

"I don't really know who came up with the idea, but once the idea got put out there coach (David Perno) asked us what we thought and we really liked it," senior outfielder Matt Olson said.

"They got one helmet done and showed it to us and we really liked it so we went with it. It's been the choice here in the postseason. We've been winning games so we're going to stick with it."

One helmet stands out.

Joey Lewis' once white helmet is now covered in pine tar. The Georgia logo is barely visible and it looks as though Georgia's designated hitter head-butted a shack made of mud.

Lewis mimics Washington Nationals catcher Johnny Estrada, who covers his bat in pine tar. Lewis works out in Peachtree City, the same place Estrada does, and has idolized him for years.

"He had a bat covered with it and I loved it," Lewis said. "I kind of took it from there and went a little further with it. It's worked out. I love it."

Lewis covers his bat and helmet in pine tar, touches both, and grabs his necklace before he bats. It's become a ritual he's done since his senior year in high school.

"(My teammates) rag me about the helmet," he said. "When I first did it to the white one, they said, 'Joe, grab the brown helmet.' But I love the white helmets. They look pretty sharp."

Massanari deals with family death

Georgia's catcher Bryce Massanari received some bad news before the start of Georgia's win against Stanford this past Monday.

DOGWIRED: Baseball beat writer Jennifer Iannone reports from Omaha, Neb., and talks with sports editor John Kaltefleiter about the Dogs heading into Friday's game:

About three hours before first pitch, the junior learned that his grandmother, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, passed away.

"She's in a better place now," Massanari said. "She's with my grandpa."

Massanari said he didn't let the news affect his game, but he will be disappointed if he doesn't get to attend the funeral, which is Sunday.

His family, who is in Omaha to watch his CWS, will be leaving Saturday for the funeral.

"I think she would want me to be here doing this," Massanari said. "I think she'll be watching, too."

Olson fighting Omaha slump

For the past two games, Olson hasn't looked like the hitter that was the most outstanding player of the Athens Regional.

The senior was 0-for-9 in Georgia's two victories at the CWS.

In the Regional, Olson went 18-for-26 with 10 runs and six RBIs in five games. He hit a two-run home run to spark Georgia's offense in an 8-0 win over Georgia Tech.

"You knew at some point he was going to cool down a little bit," Perno said.

"Hopefully the last two games, he's cool enough. And now we can start getting going again. We're definitely going to need him to get going just because to give Gordon (Beckham) some RBI situations."

Olson hasn't been thrilled with his dip in production.

"My performance has been terrible," he said. "That's fine with me as long as we've been winning. I'd like to pick it up here and start contributing toward a victory. Hopefully, I'm just saving them for when we really need them."

Perno said he's not worried about Olson getting back on track.

"He's as consistent a hitter as we've had in our program. He'll make the adjustment he needs to make and get some quality at-bats Friday."

This and that

Since the current CWS format was implemented in 1999, five teams have started 2-0 in Omaha and failed to reach the best-of-three title series. It happened to Rice in 2006 and 2007.

From Our readers

Posted: Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Rotary International has a motto of "Service Above Self" that guides the professional and managerial Rotary Club men and women members in their work and personal lives. This motto also sometimes fits other people in other situations.

For example, on the morning of June 9, I sat in my disabled vehicle on Cliff Dawson Road just off Hog Mountain Road waiting for a tow truck. Six individuals and a deputy sheriff stopped to inquire whether I needed anything, whether I had a phone and if help was on the way. Since there is little traffic on this road on an early Saturday morning, I estimated that about 50 percent of the drivers stopped during the 70 minutes I was waiting.

By the way, they were all strangers to me. This is another example of what makes Oconee County special.

PC Tips and Tricks to make your life easier

A Free Laptop With A Handset: Gaining The Most Worth With Stellar Offer

July 17, 2010 By: lilybird Category: Desktop and Laptop

It is a fantastic opportunity to earn a free laptop when you buy a cell phone. This is a method that is being applied by different mobile service companies in order to appeal to more individuals to buy their handsets and be well-known in the marketplace. By providing a freebie with the unit (as the free thing may be a laptop, a plasma TV, and other multimedia devices,) you can get a flexible alternative as to which thing you should choose in availing their services.

There are more than a few benefits that you can benefit from from these deals. You will obtain a gadget without having to pay for it and also access a handset that you can make use of for your every day requirements. You will also obtain the most up-to-date and the most innovative gizmos in the marketplace today which is a huge bonus. You don’t have to worry about taking obsolete devices that is a universal misconception that is circulating among clients.

Availing the promo is fairly simple. You have to sign up for a contract cellular phone deal where you will enjoy the services of a certain provider and maintain the subscription for a certain period of time. The agreement regularly lasts for a year and after which, you have the choice to cancel the plan. While under agreement, you have to spend for the month-to-month rental associated to the use of the cell phone and pay for a security deposit on the network connection.

The requisite for adding the laptop in the free items is very straightforward. The provider wants to get the top mark in the business by providing the most pleasing deals to their users. The easiest way to attain this is to give away an item that will grab the awareness of the marketplace and will launch the brand in the business.

It is incontestably a good promoting tactic that any cell service provider can utilize to market its name in the market. The greatest part of the arrangement is that you, as the consumer, get all the value for your money by investing in a mobile phone and taking a laptop house with you as well.

There are quite a few people on the net who received a free laptop from a valid give away. This is one thing that you must know. If you are thinking if there are authentic offers in the market that can present you a laptop for free, yes there are. Though these offers can be limited, seeing one can be done but part of the procedure is to be aware of the cheats that are flooding the on line community today.

Getting free laptop with mobile phones is absolutely one of the ways that you can use to get the most accommodating offers that you can find in the market currently.

Even Steve Jobs didn’t understand what the iPhone truly was

Even Steve Jobs didn’t understand what the iPhone truly was

The phone is dead. The iPhone killed it.

It’s hard to say when exactly the inflection point came. Was there was a single point in time that the devices in our pockets became computers first and phones as a distant second? Was it the original iPhone, released 10 years ago today? Perhaps it was the iPhone 3G, which added faster internet, or the iPhone 5, which supported LTE. Or maybe it was iPhone OS 2, which opened up the App Store for developers to create their own communication platforms outside of SMS and voice calls.

Whether it was a slow transition or a single device, with the benefit of hindsight, it’s clear that the iPhone has forever changed how people communicate by putting the internet at the forefront.

Looking back to the original announcement of the iPhone on June 29th, 2007, it’s easy to see how most people would not have predicted that the “phone” part was the least important aspect of this new device. During the keynote, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs famously faked out the audience by claiming that he would be announcing three revolutionary products, which he quickly revealed to be a single device. The first was “a widescreen iPod with touch controls,” the second “a revolutionary mobile phone” (emphasis mine), and the third “a breakthrough internet communicator.”

If you watch the video, you can see the first two so-called products get wild applause, while the third — the internet communicator — gets more muted clapping when compared to the long-rumored touchscreen iPod and Apple-produced phone. It almost seems as…

Verilog Interview Questions - 2

1. Given the following Verilog code, what value of "a" is displayed?
always @(clk)
a = 0;
a < = 1;

2. What is the difference between a = #10 b; and #10 a = b; ?

3. Let "a" be a 3 bit reg value.
a < = 3'b101;
a = #5 3'b000;
a < = #10 3'b111;
a < = #30 3'b011;
a = #20 3'b010;
a < = #5 3'b110;
What will be the value of "a" at time 0,5,10,... units till 40 units of time?

4. Write a verilog code to swap contents of two registers with and without using a temporary register.

5. What is the difference between:
c = check ? a : b; and
if(check) c = a;
else c = b;

6. What does `timescale 1 ns/ 1 ps’ signify in a verilog code?

7. what is the use of defparam?

8. What is a sensitivity list?

9. In a pure combinational circuit is it necessary to mention all the inputs in sensitivity list? If yes, why? If not, why?

Digital Design Interview Questions - All in 1

1. How do you convert a XOR gate into a buffer and a inverter (Use only one XOR gate for each)?

2. Implement an 2-input AND gate using a 2x1 mux.

3. What is a multiplexer?

A multiplexer is a combinational circuit which selects one of many input signals and directs to the only output.

4. What is a ring counter?

A ring counter is a type of counter composed of a circular shift register. The output of the last shift register is fed to the input of the first register. For example, in a 4-register counter, with initial register values of 1100, the repeating pattern is: 1100, 0110, 0011, 1001, 1100, so on.

5. Compare and Contrast Synchronous and Asynchronous reset.

Synchronous reset logic will synthesize to smaller flip-flops, particularly if the reset is gated with the logic generating the d-input. But in such a case, the combinational logic gate count grows, so the overall gate count savings may not be that significant. The clock works as a filter for small reset gl…

Setup and Hold TIme

Every flip-flop has restrictive time regions around the active clock edge in which input should not change. We call them restrictive because any change in the input in this regions the output may be the expected one (*see below). It may be derived from either the old input, the new input, or even in between the two. Here we define, two very important terms in the digital clocking. Setup and Hold time.
The setup time is the interval before the clock where the data must be held stable.The hold time is the interval after the clock where the data must be held stable. Hold time can be negative, which means the data can change slightly before the clock edge and still be properly captured. Most of the current day flip-flops has zero or negative hold time.

In the above figure, the shaded region is the restricted region. The shaded region is divided into two parts by the dashed line. The left hand side part of shaded region is the setup time period and the right hand side part is the hold time…

Gate-Level Modeling

>> Introduction
>> Gate Primitives
>> Delays
>> Examples

In Verilog HDL a module can be defined using various levels of abstraction. There are four levels of abstraction in verilog. They are:
Behavioral or algorithmic level: This is the highest level of abstraction. A module can be implemented in terms of the design algorithm. The designer no need to have any knowledge of hardware implementation.Data flow level: In this level the module is designed by specifying the data flow. Designer must how data flows between various registers of the design.Gate level: The module is implemented in terms of logic gates and interconnections between these gates. Designer should know the gate-level diagram of the design.Switch level: This is the lowest level of abstraction. The design is implemented using switches/transistors. Designer requires the knowledge of switch-level implementation details.
Gate-level modeling is virtually the lowest-level of abstraction, because t…

The Journal ran a story this morning that said the Governor's office blamed the newspaper for the the Governor getting dissed as one of the worst Governors in the country.  Well, the Governor's staff allegation is true.  Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington rated the Governor '1 of the worst' in the country.  The Governor's office said that was due to the Journal's  repetitious reporting of stories on problems with the Investment Council.  It is still important to note that the Governor has never been indicted by any Grand Jury at any level of government.

Albuquerque Mayor Berry continues to be moved off the pages and screens of the media by his publicity seeking public safety chief Darren White.  Maybe that is the way Berry wants it, but I gotta believe that is not true.  I was happy to see Berry get riled up about the revolving door for criminals at the courthouses, but Mr. White is the one with his picture in the paper.

Former Governor Gary Johnson is on the drug legalization bandwagon again.  I am with him on that one, but only that one.  It was courageous for him to take that position when he was Governor.  It cost him big time but sooner or later these laws will fall and your homes will be safe from junkies stealing your flat screens so they can buy a fix.

I will be gone for a few days on a trip to Moab, Utah for a board meeting.  That is a beautiful drive and I am looking forward to it.

OMMA Service Project (coming November 2016)

  • We are anticipating with excitement gathering with many of you on Friday, November 11th, 2016 from 6:30-8:30pm at Avalon Church ( for an evening of service as OMMA holds its next 500-100-100 Project!For those who are newer to OMMA (and as a reminder to our veterans), twice each year we sponsor Group Outreach Projects where we “Take it out of the Dojo” and gather together to serve others in various ways. These are “hands-on” projects designed for all ages. We have folks from toddlers to grandparents and everyone in between who link arms and hearts to make an eternal difference in the lives of people near and far. Below are some links to pictures from some of our Projects from previous years. We have been doing this at least twice a year since 2008.                                                                   (From a 2011 event) (From a 2010 event) (A few more from 2010) (From a 2009 event)

    One of our three Projects at the 500-100-100 Project will be to make Christmas Gift Boxes in support of Operation Christmas Child.

    For our newer students who haven’t done this with us yet, we collect a bunch of gift items (see below for details) and then on our project night we unpack and organize what is donated and distribute them to as many shoe boxes as we can fill. Our best year ever (2015) we put together 205 boxes as a group and I am hopeful that we can top that this time! THANK YOU!!

    If you are willing and able to contribute any of the items on the list below for us to pack in shoeboxes to be delivered to the kids, that would be great! Please let me know what you might have in mind so I can get an idea of where we stand. You can bring these items to any of our classes and we’ll store them at the Dojo until the night of the event.

    If you have any questions, please let me know.

    Have a blessed week in Jesus!

    Marco Fiorentino

    Senior Instructor

    Here is the list of items we need as well as a link to more information on this project:

    small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, small Etch A Sketch®, toys that light up or make noise (with extra batteries), Slinky®, etc.

    Pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or markers, stamps and ink pad sets, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, coloring and picture books, etc.

    Toothbrush, toothpaste, mild bar soap (in a plastic bag), comb, washcloth, etc.

    Hard candy and lollipops (please double bag all candy), mints, gum, T-shirts, socks, ball caps; sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry, watches, flashlights (with extra batteries)

    In a separate envelope, you may enclose a note to the child and a photo of yourself or your family. (If you include your name and address, the child may write back.)

    Used or damaged items; war-related items such as toy guns, knives or military figures; chocolate or food; out-of-date candy; liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans

Headlights. Not halos. There's an unmistakable diference between what you can achieve with a standard multifocal and what your patients experience with Crystalens ® AO IOL. Crystalens delivers 100% of the light, 100% of the time, and minimizes issues with neuroadaptation, halos, and glare. 1,2 Crystalens Accommodating Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens BRIEF STATEMENT Rx only. Indications for Use: The Crystalens is intended for primary implantation in the capsular bag of the eye for the visual correction of aphakia secondary to the removal of a cataractous lens in adult patients with and without presbyopia. The Crystalens provides approximately one diopter of monocular accommodation which allows for near, intermediate, and distance vision without spectacles. Warnings: Careful preoperative evaluation and sound clinical judgment should be used by the surgeon to decide the risk/beneft ratio before implanting a lens in a patient. Some adverse events which have been associated with the implantation of intraocular lenses are: hypopyon, intraocular infection, acute corneal decompensation, and secondary surgical intervention. Precautions: Do not resterilize; do not store over 45°C. ATTENTION: Refer to the Physician Labeling for complete prescribing information. References: 1. Ang R.

Reagan Democrats give Trump a long leash – but deeply distrust GOP

… Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg coined the term “Reagan Democrats” in the mid-1980s to describe just these sorts of blue-collar whites in Macomb County, Michigan, mostly autoworkers, who had shifted from staunchly backing John F. Kennedy to going gaga for Ronald Reagan. He helped his client Bill Clinton assiduously court this constituency and bring them back into the Democratic fold.

Barack Obama easily carried Macomb twice. Then Trump won it with 54 percent. To understand what happened, Greenberg went back last month to conduct four focus groups with 35 non-college educated whites who voted for both Trump and Obama. …

“Nothing has happened that has broken their trust in him and their belief that they cast the right kind of vote,” Greenberg explained in an interview yesterday afternoon. “That doesn’t mean it won’t break at some point, but it gives him a lot of space for now. They also know regular Republicans were not with him. They’re very conscious of this.” CONT.

Facilitating User Driven Innovation – A Study of Methods and Tools at Herlev Hospital

Publication: Research - peer-reviewBook chapter – Annual report year: 2012

View graph of relations

Purpose: To present the preliminary research results of user driven innovation methods at healthcare facilities and their relevance to research and practice. Background/Approach: The paper is based on a case study conducted at the Gynaecologic Department at Herlev Hospital as part of Healthcare Innovation Lab, which is a public-private collaboration project testing the simulation and user-driven innovation between users and companies at Hospitals in the Danish Capital Region. The theories presented are user driven innovation, usability and boundary objects. Results: This article presents different methods used in planning of new hospital facilities and the experiences with using them in practice to improve usability of the built environment. The study focuses on the initial stages of the design processes, specially ‘user driven innovation’ – the participatory design process in which users are actively involved as co-creators. The paper describes the process and its phases, as well as reflects on the results of the user involvement and specific methods. Depending on the methods used at the workshops the participants/users had different focus, changed the priorities and developed different solutions. Practical Implications: Advice on process and use of boundary objects for future workshops with user groups

I Love Dr. Hauschka

Dr. Hauschka is without a doubt my favorite natural cosmetics brand, and the Moisturizing Day Cream is my favorite product. It smells like the Portland Rose Garden and is light and non-greasy. No disgusting ingredients. Its only downside is its price, but a little goes a long way and the bottle lasts about three months. It's glass, so it recycles easily. I've taken to buying it online because the only store that carries it in Indy is Wild Oats, and that's too far to drive for me. Actually, I've been getting most of my cosmetic staple items online anyway, so as to cut down on the impulse buys I'm prone to commit! These days, I'm showing restraint. I'd say I allow myself about $100/month in cosmetic purchases. I'd love to know what you kittens are spending and what you're using!

Orioles Card "O" the Day

An intersection of two of my passions: baseball cards and the Baltimore Orioles. Updated daily?

Jay Payton, 2008 Topps Orioles Team Set #BAL7

Gee, don't look so happy to be here, Jay. You weren't exactly our first choice either.

Oriole Paul said...

Are you celebrating Movember this year w/ a nice upper lip caterpillar?

Kevin said...

OP - Not this year. My wife is emphatically in favor of the full beard, and since it was 39 degrees when I left the house this morning, I can safely say that a bare face wouldn't be the wisest thing for self-preservation, anyway.

If you're participating, let me know and I will sponsor you.
