Syracuse Crunch week 12: Teddy bears were tossed
The Crunch loses two out of three this week, but children gain teddy bears so that's something.

Share All sharing options for: Syracuse Crunch week 12: Teddy bears were tossed
It was just one of those weeks for Syracuse. After getting humiliated in St. John's, losing 6-2 on Tuesday and then 5-1 on Wednesday, the Crunch returned to central New York to a snowy landscape and prepared themselves to encounter a War Memorial arena full of fans wielding stuffed toys. They also had to face the rival Rochester Americans on the ice.
It was Teddy Toss Saturday this past week, and the Crunch was hoping that goals would rain down along with those teddy bears and other assorted animals. The night didn't quite go off as planned, but the Crunch managed to close out the week with a win. For a depleted team desperate for points, it would do.
For those unfamiliar with the tradition, a teddy bear toss
is a popular Christmas season promotion at many minor and junior hockey arenas throughout North America. Fans are encouraged to bring teddy bears to the game, and to throw them onto the ice when the home team scores its first goal. The toys are then gathered up to be donated as Christmas presents to hospitals and charities.
The most stuffed animals ever collected during one of these events was done so by the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL in 2007, when 26,919 of the toys rained down on the ice surface at Saddledome (where they share the building with the NHL's Calgary Flames) . There weren't quite as many at the Crunch game Saturday night, but fans still made a good showing, as you can see by the video:

In the Crunch's case, all animals are donated to the local Salvation Army. The toys are then distributed to local needy families. If any animal is gently used and needs a cleaning, the toys are refurbished by Stanley Steemer, who generously donates their time and equipment to help out.
Not all of the animals that are donated are gently used or store bought. Build-A-Bear workshop also donated some materials; Crunch players and children from the Salvation Army's after school program had fun one day building toysthat were also tossed Saturday night. A cute video and story of the experience the kids had with Matt Taormina, Luke Witkowski and Cedrick Desjardins can be watched and read over at CNY Central.
Syracuse has had weird luck when it's come to this tradition. The Crunch started it three years ago, when Syracuse was still affiliated with the Anaheim Ducks organization. Much like this year, the team was in a rut at the time of the toss and, unfortunately, didn't manage to score until almost the end of the third period. By the time this happened, frustrated fans had already tossed their bears after an opponent's goal. It was a disappointing start to the tradition, to say the least.
Last year, fans got to celebrate the toss properly. Brett Connolly scored, the goal was good, and excited fans threw their stuffed animals. This year, the Crunch appeared to score mid-way through the first when Artem Sergeev's shot ricocheted off the pipes. The music went off, the players celebrated for a second, and play was awkwardly stopped when hundreds of bears went flying.
It was awkward because the goal was waved off, but that action by on-ice officials didn't happen fast enough to stop the fans from littering the ice surface with their stash of bears. The Crunch organization decided against fighting the inevitable, and the scoreboard told fans to toss the stuffed animals despite the no-goal.
A few minutes later, Connolly scored what would have been the teddy bear toss goal, and a few more stray animals found their way onto the ice. Dmitry Korobov and Witkowski got the assists. This led several observers to joke that maybe the Crunch should have a teddy bear toss every game, as it seems to coincide with Connolly scoring.
Connolly's goal would eventually prove to be the game-winner. Goalie Kristers Gudlevskis pitched his second shut out of his AHL season and the Crunch snapped what was a four-game losing streak. Although Syracuse's dismal power play has not helped things any--the Crunch have been unable to convert on 22 man-advantage opportunities over the last 5 games-the team's disciplined play was a large part of Saturday's victory. The Crunch only allowed four penalty minutes during the game, which kept Rochester's top-five power play contained and off the score sheet.
Syracuse plays in Hershey Wednesday night this week before returning home to face Binghamton on Friday. The Crunch then travels to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Saturday.

Claire Lynch Releases Holiday Album
Written by SGN Scoops Staff on November 13, 2014 – 3:27 pm -
Claire Lynch
NASHVILLE, TN – 2013 IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year, and winner of the 2014 IBMA Song of the Year ("Dear Sister"), Claire Lynch, is excited to announce a very special release for the holidays on her own Thrill Hill Records. Holiday! is Claire's first seasonal album and is available now at her live shows and through the Claire Lynch website.
Holiday! sets the mood for enjoying holiday traditions and cheer. "I took songs from my childhood holiday memories and then we put the 'CLB twist' on them," the multi-award-winning artist says.
The ten-track album is melodic and contemporary with a retro charm that harkens back to great, traditional holiday albums. Holiday! features an array of seasonal standards like "Home for the Holidays," "White Christmas," and a special version of "Scarlett Ribbons" with harmonies by Claire's daughter, Christy.
Holiday! puts emphasis on Claire's delicate vocals and the instrumentation of her virtuosic players creating a delicious intersection of bluegrass and jazz.
The current Claire Lynch Band is a powerful juggernaut, a quartet that has the innate ability to perfectly interpret the beauty, subtlety, and genre-defying sophistication of Claire's music. The CLB features like-minded musicians blending tradition and innovation – two-time IBMA-winning bassist-clawhammer banjo player-dancer-percussionist Mark Schatz, soulful mandolinist-guitarist Matt Wingate, and young string wizard Bryan McDowell.
Holiday! was recorded at Lynch's recording studio, The Pine Room, and engineered by Todd Phillips, who also appears on the album as percussionist and has traveled with the CLB.
"I can say that this is the most-relaxed and happy I've felt while recording an album in my entire career. Many years have passed since I first expressed interest in doing a holiday recording. Here is a collection of holiday classics with that fresh "CLB" feel, yet grounded with the sentimental feeling we all sense this time of year." – Claire Lynch

DB Systemtechnik and the english subsidiary Railway Approvals has been accredited as an assessment Body.
(Minden, 22 October 2018) DB Systemtechnik, the inspection and infrastructure engineering contractor for Deutsche Bahn (DB), has now been certified by the German Federal Railway Authority (EBA) as an independent assessment body for safety risks (Assessment Body) for the areas of railway operations and maintenance of rail vehicles (ECM). Here, the field of railway operations also includes any necessary risk assessments when technical changes are made to existing vehicles and when new vehicles are approved.
From planning test runs and performing risk management to compiling safety assessment reports for manufacturers and operators, DB Systemtechnik covers the entire value chain. Due to the fact that the inspection provider is also a rail company, it is also able to efficiently perform the necessary test runs. As a result, this Deutsche Bahn subsidiary is a full-service provider that is able to assess safety risks for all aspects of railway operations and rail vehicles.
"Our status allows us to provide customers with the full assessment value chain from a single source," says Christoph Kirschinger, Managing Director for Sales at DB Systemtechnik.
The English subsidiary of DB Systemtechnik, Railway Approvals Limited (RAL), has also been accredited as an assessment body in Great Britain.
The company has already been listed in the European Union's ERADIS database as an Assessment Body.

Brookline Boulevard looking west from Chelton Avenue and the Brookline Monument.
Here is a fascinating look at Brookline Boulevard in 1936. The country is mired in the Great Depression, and President Roosevelt would soon be entering his second term. Due to the strength of the steel industry, Pittsburgh was spared the worst economic hardship of the depression years, but things were still difficult.
The Boulevard itself was the center of the community at this time in history. Brookline was considered suburbia, being separated from the city by the hilly terrain of Coal Hill. Like most neighborhoods of the time, Brookline was self-sufficient, and a stroll along the Boulevard was like a walk through the suburban malls of today.
Brookline Boulevard looking west towards the intersection with Pioneer Avenue.
from near the firehouse towards Pioneer Avenue (right).
There were shops to cater to the various needs of the local population. There were grocery stores, soda shops, pharmacies, hardware stores, clothing retailers, cobblers, tailors, record stores, barber shops, five and dime stores, newsstands, auto mechanics, repair stores, a movie theatre, dentists, doctors, cigar stores, bars, nightclubs and much more.
Triangle Grocers, at 924 Brookline Boulevard. The store would later become Melman's Super Market.
Elementary Schools were within walking distance. You never really had to leave the community. Most families did not own automobiles. Many would only travel on the occasional trip to downtown or to attractions like Forbes Field or Kennywood Park, easily accessible via the trolley network.
The intersections with Pioneer Avenue (left) and West Liberty Avenue (right), known as the Brookline Junction.
Life was truly different in yesteryear, but in many ways still the same. The Boulevard, through the decades, has still retained it's character and value to the citizens of Brookline. You can still browse the shops and find many of the amenities offered in the past. Although large malls have forced changes in the types of services available, you can still find much of what you need on Brookline Boulevard.
Like the days of old, if you are without transportation, the Port Authority bus service can still get you just about anywhere in the city that you want to go. It may lack the nostalgia and romance of riding the rails, but travelers can benefit from an air conditioned ride!

Cadence Flexlock locks in ASIL-D; Synopsys' Rapid Scans; COVID medtech.
July 30th, 2021 - By: Susan Rambo
SGS-TÜV Saar certified that Cadence's Tensilica Xtensa processors with FlexLock meets the ISO 26262:2018 standard to ASIL-D level. The new FlexLock feature is key to the certification because it supports lockstep, a fault-tolerant method that runs the same operation on two cores at the same time and then compares the output. Any difference in the output can be examined for issues and voted on which operations are correct and safe. As an added benefit to ASIL-D, FlexLock also enables design teams to accommodate two cores running independently in ASIL-B solutions, according to press release. FlexLock also allows the option of running local memories and caches of two cores in lockstep, to protect against memory faults. Cadence says that Tensilica Xtensa processors with FlexLock are well suited for the automotive market and tailored for AI, vision, radar, lidar, audio, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), and control applications. "Cadence Tensilica FlexLock processors optimized for automotive applications are among the first in the industry to achieve full compliance with ASIL-D functional safety standards," said Wolfgang Ruf, head of functional safety for semiconductors at SGS-TÜV Saar in a press release. German-based SGS-TÜV Saar is a test, audit, verification, and certification company for automotive, aerospace, industrial, and consumer electronics industries.
NXP Semiconductors and insurance tech company MOTER Technologies have collaborated on a secure data exchange platform that will enable the automobile industry to offer — or sell — data coming from connected vehicles to the insurance industry. The insurance industry could use such data for risk assessment, cost modeling, among others. The platform combines NXP's S32G2 vehicle network processors, "offering a new type of vehicle edge compute with the ability to access vehicle-wide data, with MOTER data analytics software to help fully monetize vehicle data for new and improved automotive insurance services," says the press release.
The former CEO of EV truck company Nikola is facing securities fraud charges in the U.S. related to statement he made that may have mislead retail investors about the company's progress. Trevor Milton, who founded the company but left in September, says he is innocent, through a statement from his lawyers.
Parts shortages remain an issue, some of it causes by the continued spread of COVID-19 variants. For example, Toyota announced production suspensions because it can not obtain all the parts it needs due to COVID-19.
Test lab DEKRA has been recognized by CharIN as one of the first test laboratories for interoperability certification of charging stations for electric vehicles. CharIN is an industry group founded in 2015 by Audi, BMW, Daimler, Mennekes, Opel, Phoenix Contact, Porsche, TÜV SÜD, and Volkswagen to encourage companies with an interest in electric vehicle charging. The group boosts the adoption of the Combined Charging System (CCS) standard for battery-powered electric vehicle charging.
Synopsys announced it added its Rapid Scan capabilities to its Coverity static application security testing (SAST) and Black Duck software composition analysis (SCA) tools. The Rapid Scan is just that — a fast, lightweight way to scan code check-in or early-stage build during the development. The scan is intended to detect basic vulnerability defects early in software development lifecycle. "Users can run quick preventative scans to detect and eliminate surface-level vulnerabilities as their developers write and commit code, and they can use the same solutions to run deep scans later in the SDLC prior to deploying their applications," said Jason Schmitt, general manager of the Synopsys Software Integrity Group in a press release. Scan early and often.
Vtool Smart Verification announced a visual debug improvements added to its latest release of Cogita, the visual debug platform used in ASIC verification.

Deployed with the Snapdragon 865 Mobile Platform, Gloria is designed to support up to 24 FHD cameras for video analytic applications such as traffic analysis, security, and smart retail.
Maxim Integrated's MAX78000 ultra-low power neural-network microcontroller is in AI-edge company Xailient's low-power IoT face-detection system.
ABI Research estimates that the use of digital twins in urban planning will save cities US$280 billion by 2030. The company also estimates the technology complexity of IoT and competition in the IoT market will result in 7.2 billion IoT antenna shipments in 2025. "Increased radio complexity, device miniaturization, lower power consumption, and a complex certification landscape are among many factors making integration of antennas more difficult," says Tancred Taylor, IoT hardware and devices research analyst at ABI Research, in a press release. "These challenges are well-known in the smartphone industry. However, unlike the smartphone market which comprises few OEMs and high product volumes, many OEMs in IoT do not have the in-house specialization to address this complexity and have a much broader range of products they want to create. This generates a large opportunity for antenna manufacturers to offer support and additional services throughout the project design cycle and offer value by moving beyond their traditional role as component manufacturers."
NASA's launch of the Boeing Starliner OFT-2 to the International Space Station (ISS) is delayed until August 3rd. The cause: the Russian Nauka multipurpose lab module that was docked at ISS tilted the space station for a short time when a thruster on the module activated unexpectedly. The Starliner will not have any humans aboard during this first systems test flight.
COVID-19 technology, medical
ams OSRAM announced a one square millimeter camera module with a digital output for single-use medical endoscopes.

And the 2014 open source champion prize goes to Microsoft
geek stuff, gigabit, linux, los angeles, microsoft
In with a chance.
When the City of Los Angeles released its gigabit RFI earlier this week, it didn't put the considerable broadband-relevant assets owned by its municipal electric utility on the table, but it did offer to throw in obsolete computers…
Due to the Microsoft end-of-support for its Windows XP Operating System on April 8, 2014, a mass computer replacement effort has been underway across the City. As a result, thousands of old computers will be salvaged through the City's e-waste recycling. Under the guidance of the Offices of the Mayor, Council President and Innovation Technology and General Services Committee Chair, the City is working on the design and implementation of a digital inclusion pilot program to take advantage of these salvaged computers.
It's an odd juxtaposition: asking for a city-wide fiber network on the one hand, and giving out thousands of computers that probably lack the horsepower to do very much with it. There's a plan to work with non-profit outfits to refurbish the computers, though. It raises an interesting question: which operating system will be loaded in to replace Windows XP?
Some flavor of Linux is one potentially disruptive possibility. As libraries and schools have learned, the usability gap between open source software and shrink wrapped commercial packages has narrowed to the point that there's little practical difference when it comes to basics like word processing, graphics and spreadsheets. It's also an option for other public sector IT departments that lack the budget to upgrade immediately.
When Microsoft made the decision to pull the plug on XP, someone must have looked at the risk-benefit trade-off of creating a mass OS switching opportunity away from Windows. We'll know if they didn't, or if they miscalculated, if the next bold move out of Redmond is Office for Linux.

Babbar Akali Movement was radical outgrowth of the Akali movement for the reform of Sikh places of worship during the early 1920s.The incidents at Tarn Taran (January 1921) and Nankana Sahib (February 1921) in which many Sikhs lost their lives led to the emergence of a group which rejected non-violence and adopted violence as a creed. The members of this secret group called themselves Babbar Akalis, Babbar meaning Lion. Their targets were the British officers and their Indian informers. They were strongly attached to their Sikh faith and shared an intense patriotic fervor.
The Sikh Educational Conference was held at Hoshiarpur from 19 to 21 March, 1921. Some radicals led by Master Mota Singh and Kishan singh Gargajj, a retired havildar major of the Indian army, held a secret meeting and made up a plan to avenge themselves upon those responsible for the killings at Nankana Sahib. In November 1921, Kishan Singh formed a secret organization called Chakarvarti Jatha and started working among the peasantry and soldier inciting them against the foreign rulers.
Towards the end of August 1922, the two Chakravarti Jathas resolved to merge together and rename their organization Babbar Akali Jatha. Kishan Singh was chosen jathedar or president, while Dalip Singh Daulatpur, Karam Singh Jhingran and Ude Singh Ramgarh Jhuggian were nominated members. A cyclostyled news sheet called the Babbar Akali Doaba had already been launched. The Babbar Akali Jatha had its own code. The members were to recite regularly Gurbani, the Sikh prayers. The outer circle of the Jatha consisted of sympathizers who helped the active members with food and shelter. The movement was very active from mid-1922 to the end of 1923. Several government officials and supporters were singled out and killed. In April 1923 the Babbar Akali Jatha was declared an unlawful association under the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1908. The arrests and deaths in police encounters of its members depleted the Jatha's ranks. The movement virtually came to an end when Varyam Singh Dhugga was run down by the police in Lyallpur district in June 1924.The trial of the arrested Babbar Akalis had already begun inside Lahore Central Jail on 15 August 1923. Ninety One (91) Babbar Akalis were accused, two had died in jail during trial, 34 were acquitted, 6 including Jathedar Kishan Singh Gargajj were given death penalty and the remaining 49 were sentenced to varying terms of imprisonment.
The condemned Babbars were hanged on 27 February 1926. They were Kishan Singh Gargajj, Babu Santa Singh, Dalip Singh Dhamian, Karam Singh Manko, Nand Singh Ghurial and Dharam Singh Hayatpur. The Babbar Akali Jatha ceased to exist but it had left a permanent mark on the history of the Sikhs and on the nationalist movement of India.

At least 31 cities in the country may have two airports, says the document.
India may have around 190-200 operational airports in 2040. At least 31 top cities in the country may have two airports while Delhi and Mumbai will have a third airport by then, states the Vision 2040 Document of the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Cities like Goa, Visakhapatnam, Jaipur, Pune, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Patna, Kolkata and Bengaluru will need a second airport by 2030. By 2035, more cities will join this list, reported Hindustan Times. With this, India's air passenger traffic is expected to increase six-fold to 1.1 billion. The Vision 2040 Document was released by the Ministry of Civil Aviation at the Global Aviation Summit in Mumbai on Tuesday.
India was the seventh largest aviation market with 187 million passengers — travelling to, from and within India — in financial year 2017-18.
The fleet of commercial planes is likely to rise to 2,359 in March 2040. It was 622 in March, last year.
Currently, India has one of the largest aircraft order books with pending deliveries of over 1,000 aircraft.
Most of the large airports in the country would saturate over the next 10-15 years.
According to the Vision 2040 document, India would have its own aircraft leasing industry, with tax structure and repossession processes being "equally or more attractive than those in leading global jurisdictions".
The expected increment in the land required would be approximately 1,50,000 acre with the capital investment to be around USD 40-50 billion, excluding the cost of acquiring land.
According to the Vision 2040 Document, the government may establish a NABH Nirman Fund (NNF) with a starting corpus of around USD 2 billion to support low traffic airports in their initial phases. NABH stands for Next Generation Airports for Bharat.
The concept of land pooling may be used to keep land acquisition costs low and to provide land owners with high value developed plots in the vicinity of the airport.
India will also have a robust commercial aircraft manufacturing ecosystem with global collaboration. It will meet at least 70% of the country's commercial aircraft demand and also export to other countries.

In this research, two different types of engine oils, super V 20W/50 and Terrak 15W/40 were used in two different models of tractors, MF-285 and Fiat 60-56 in a 200 hour period. Based on the laboratory analyses of the extracts taken from the engine oils, viscosity index, kinematic viscosity, flash point, specific gravity and total base number values were determined.
The laboratory analyses of the extracts provided the following values: viscosity index is 92-147; kinematic viscosity 67.75-179.39 cSt at 40°C and 8.93-18.11 cSt at 100°C; specific density 0.8714 - 0.9109 g/cm3; total base number 3.4-10.5 mg/g; and flash point 195-225°C. When compared with those of the unused oil, the values for viscosity index, kinematic viscosity, flash point and total base number were lower while only the specific gravity values for both oils used in the test rose. The opinion of the authors is that this increase on specific gravity value might be attributed to contaminats from the external environment.

Anti Doping Agency Strips Lance Armstrong of Tour de France Titles
Last month internationally recognised road cyclist, Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and disqualified from competition for life by the US Anti Doping Agency (USADA). USADA had laid charges against Armstrong for the possession, trafficking, use and distribution of performance enhancing drugs including EPO [erythropoietin], blood transfusions, testosterone, cortisone and HGH [human growth hormone] during the period between 1996-2005. According to an article in The Guardian the allegations against Armstrong were grounded in "overwhelming evidence" produced by "more than a dozen witnesses" including co-competitors who were "ready to testify against him." On 23 August, Armstrong announced that after a two year battle he was dropping his legal challenge against these allegations due to the strain it had placed on his personal life and work with his cancer foundation. In a public statement quoted in the Telegraph Sport, Armstrong said: "There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say 'enough is enough.' For me, that time is now."
The Telegraph Sport reported that Armstrong's refusal to further contest the charges has been treated by USADA as an admission of guilt. A USADA representative told The Guardian that, "as a result of Mr Armstrong's decision, USADA is required under the applicable rules, including the World Anti-Doping Code under which he is accountable, to disqualify his competitive results and suspend him from all future competition." The New York Times reported that in addition to his record-breaking seven Tour de France titles, Armstrong will also lose his 2000 Olympic bronze medal, all other titles and money he won after August 1998, and his eligibility to ever hold any official role within cycling or any other sport covered by The Code.
According to the Telegraph Sport, the sport's governing body, The International Cycling Union, has been contending USADA for jurisdiction over the Armstrong matter. The implication for the Union if it elects to enforce USADA's decision is that it will be required to select new winners for the 1999-2005 Tours. The article described this process as a potential headache because "a number of cyclists who finished behind the American have also been implicated in doping scandals."
Armstrong is renowned for winning the seven Tour de France titles after successfully battling life-threatening cancer. At one stage he was given a 40% chance of survival which, in risk management terms, are not great odds. He since established the Lance Armstrong Foundation and LIVESTRONG brand which have raised in excess of £400m to inspire and improve the lives of cancer sufferers. Armstrong's brand and charity initiatives have been founded on the principle of thriving in the face of adversity. USADA's stripping of Armstrong's titles and branding him a 'drug cheat' effectively undermines this message. It remains to be seen whether the LIVESTRONG brand will be resilient enough to withstand the blow to Armstrong's personal reputation.
The fact that Armstrong never tested 'drug positive' throughout his career also raises questions both of the legitimacy of the charges and the effectiveness of drug testing methods and technologies used in sport.

WECT Television Tower
The 2,000′ (609.6 m) tall, structural steel tower was explosively felled, for a new world record.
From: Fayobserver.com By: Drew Brooks,
Staff writer September 21, 2012
WHITE LAKE – The tallest manmade structure east of the Mississippi River came crashing down Thursday afternoon, the climax to an event that served as a learning experience for Fort Bragg soldiers and a fundraiser. The 2,000-foot tall television tower, along N.C. 53 south of White Lake, once belonged to Raycom Media and had towered over the pines in Bladen County for decades, according to officials.
Last year, the tower, which was made obsolete by the switch to digital signal three years ago, was donated to the Green Beret Foundation along with 77 acres. The charity, which helps the families of wounded and killed Special Forces soldiers, will sell the land and more than 1,000 tons of steel to raise money, according to Robert Schaezler, a lawyer who works with the foundation. A total dollar figure is not known, but the funds will go toward a number of programs, including scholarships and in vitro fertilization for Green Berets whose combat injuries inhibit their ability to have children.
The demolition itself set a world record for the tallest manmade structure imploded, according to Mark Loizeaux of Controlled Demolition Inc. Loizeaux said his company also owned the previous world record. Controlled Demolition is based in Maryland but has conducted a number of high-profile demolitions, including the Seattle Kingdome and the remains of the World Trade Center in New York and Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. "I have the best job in the world," Loizeaux said. "It's a lot like mowing grass. You can see what you've done." The company conducted the demolition for free, according to Pat Melvin of Hilton Auction & Realty in Elizabethtown, which brokered the donation to the Green Beret Foundation. Typically, it would have cost up to $250,000, Melvin said. "The intent was to do something for a good cause," said Loizeaux, who added that he was technically on vacation.
Loizeaux counted out the final 10 seconds before the first blast, which freed a number of support wires. A second blast, caused by 21 pounds of explosives, destroyed a leg of the tower. Gravity did the rest of the work, Loizeaux said, with the tower coiling in on itself before tipping over. Before and after the demolition, Loizeaux spoke with more than two dozen Special Forces candidates. The potential Green Berets were fresh off an engineer course in the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg. Master Sgt. Anthony Siriwardene, an instructor in the school, said the lessons from Loizeaux were an "invaluable experience" for the soldiers. "It was absolutely worth it," he said.
The tower, once used by Wilmington-based WECT to broadcast more than 100 miles, was the seventh tallest structure ever built, according to officials. The land recently has been used for military training, Melvin said, with soldiers and Marines taking advantage of the relative isolation. Cleanup of the site is expected to take about two weeks, officials said. In the meantime, the land will be guarded to prevent thieves from trespassing.

So About that Nintendo E3 strategy.
Before E3, Nintendo made known it would only bring the new Zelda game to the E3 show floor. And while this left room for Nintendo to discuss and reveal other games (which they did), it was clear that the focus for this year's E3 would be its shiny new Zelda game. Also, instead of using this Zelda as a way to introduce us to its new NX, it would be nothing but the Wii U version.
Now today, the internet is flooded with raving reviews and uber-hype for this new Zelda meets Skyrim meets awesomeness game, and I'm firmly on the hype train. I figured I'd like to chime in here on TAY about how much I love what I've seen, but another thought quickly rose that I'd love to share and discuss with as many of you as I can. Because the fact that Nintendo basically made E3 the grand Zelda display is a very interesting move.
An open-world Zelda hints at a new Nintendo unconstrained by the boundaries of its past.
To paraphrase and make a long story short, Breath of the Wild was created with an all new Zelda team consisting of developers with interest and knowledge on contemporary games. (I read that as people who love Skyrim and The Witcher, but also others like COD or GTA). Meaning Mr. Aonuma let other games influence this game much more than he has done with games in the past.
So there you kind of already have my point, Nintendo has taken a vastly different approach to creating this Zelda than it has done with all of its previous releases. And this is E3 has been used as a giant testing ground for fan reaction. They've basically shown the entire basis of the game sans the story. But there is more that makes me think this. Strap yourself in, because this will take some paragraphs.
Nintendo needing an entire E3 to sample the reaction of their new game design philosophy insinuates that they needed to change their current philosophy, and there is much reason to believe so. To put this in perspective, let's quickly go through Nintendo's home console efforts up until this point.
So Nintendo started in the 70's with plug and play devices, and later single game devices with their color-tv series, and their game and watch devices. But they had an international breakthrough with their Famicom/NES system which conquered the world and basically set the tone for the game market as it is today.
Their SNES enjoyed great success following its launch in 1990, but it has to be noted that it's less succesfull than its fore-bearer. While many of us look fondly back at the days of 16 bit greatness and the grand console wars with Sega. The SNES did not maintain the NES momentum and even lost a great deal of ground to SEGA.
The N64's mission must have been to reclaim the lost ground. The history of the N64 is a bit of wild one though, it contains classics that are held as absolute masterpieces like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, yet it has the smallest library of games and it lost major grounds to the new Sony PlayStation. In fact during the N64 years Nintendo lost its status as the definitive house of games.
The Gamecube was even worse off. It contains games that are held dearly by its fans but aside from maybe Smash Bros. Melee, the Gamecube library doesn't contain any games on the level of Ocarina of Time when it comes to a social and market impact. Yet by analyzing the types of games the Gamecube has, it's clear Nintendo was way ahead of what many of us thought would be necessary.
The Gamecube didn't launch with a Mario title like its ancestors did, instead it launched with Luigi's Mansion, a quirky "horror" game starring Luigi, who for some reason has become a scaredy cat. The actual Mario game was based on a single game mechanic with Mario's water spray FLUDD. Zelda dropped both its "realism" and its land based gameplay with The Wind Waker, and Pokemon had full fledged adventures with a defining twist of "stealing" Pokemon. Donkey Kong was played with Bongos. And Star Fox was now a Zelda clone.
Couple that with games like Chibi Robo, Pikmin and Doshin The Giant, and you can see Nintendo was being highly experimental with the Gamecube. And it's easy to see why, their efforts through their consoles had diminishing results.
Something had to change. And while it's all speculation on my part, I think that Nintendo having had the strongest specs among their contemporaries and maybe even the best way to deal with piracy (proprietary disc format), was thinking halfway through the Gamecube years that changing the essence of your games wasn't the way to go. Even if just churning out new games wasn't helping them either. The NES to N64 was a declining journey, and these systems just upgraded the games as they were. The Gamecube was also a losing battle, even though the games were all refreshing and new.
The problem Nintendo was facing was a decline in sales and interest. Its problem definition: a declining interest in the games Nintendo make. Part of the problem, changing the games is not the answer. So Instead of changing the games, why not change the way we interact with games. And here was the Wii, a massive success catapulting Nintendo's war chest back to NES levels and even beyond.
And while Nintendo fans were raving, and non-gamers were raving too, the internet quickly gave rise to those who felt otherwise. Nintendo was now a casual company, no longer catering to those truly in love with video games. And while Nintendo resumed its business they must've known that losing the core gamer meant losing their future as a games company. After all the "casuals" would move to the new trend when it would arise (and so they have with IOS and android) and they'd be stuck with nothing. Yet just making their next console on par with the PS4 and XB1 would just put them back in the position they were in during the GameCube years, but this time with a lot less favour among fans.
The answer with the Wii-U was to maintain their renewing of the game interface, while trying to win back the lost gamer crowd. I distinctly remember the messaging of the Wii U on launch: this would bring in third party publishers. The greatest games would sit alongside Nintendo's finest on the Wii U and both the new interface and the new games would help Nintendo get back on track. But early on in the Wii-U's life the writing was on the wall.
Third party publishers were nowhere to be found.
So we are getting to the NX, and I think that anyone by now can see that the interface doesn't really matter (as long as it makes sense). It's about the games themselves. And while Nintendo has great games, its third party support drops them out of the market. The Wii-U didn't save it (the third party plan failed), and it's arguable that Third party publishers will not invest in Nintendo if they don't prove their next system immediately. Nintendo needs to sell its next system with its own new games.
So Nintendo must change their game design. Their games need to be beyond great to appeal, they have be renewing, and surprising. And I think Nintendo started this train of thought in the first year of the Wii-U.
As an experiment I believe they set up a team of young developers who would be unrestrained in their developing. And they set out to create a new type of game. This game would turn out to be Splatoon, and its massive success (given the Wii-U install base) gave Nintendo the clue for its new approach. It's time to refresh, out with the old and in with the new. The Splatoon experiment worked. It's time to bring it to a big series. Breath of the Wild must have started development in 2011 after Skyward Sword, but I guess that Splatoon's launch and success altered it's course to become what we see today.
So there you have it. I believe Nintendo just used E3 to test the waters of a new design philosophy. Granted, my theory is full of assumptions and conclusions that are in no way based on actual sources. But I still believe thinking about this together may help in understanding Nintendo, and in a way, understanding future announcements.

There's not a lot that can happen before the counter tops get here, but what can happen, did.
Luv the colour of fixtures. And is the toilet the push button - half side for less water ?
Me too!!! I think my faves are the cabinets and the fixtures. Yup, the toilets are dual flush and low flow (that's why the tanks look so funny). To flush, you press "1" for #1, and "2" for #2...LOL (but basically there's less water used when you use the "1" flush.

What the AOL deal means to you
Deal means the ultimate in convergence, with set-top boxes, fast Internet access and better online content on the way
By Will Knight | January 10, 2000 -- 18:33 GMT (10:33 PST) | Topic: Networking
The merger of Time Warner and America Online will mean a wider variety of online content and services for consumers, and could hasten the arrival of Internet set-top boxes and broadband services, according to industry observers.
These benefits will be slower to arrive in Europe, however, where both companies have less presence than in the US.
AOL and Time Warner merged Monday in a stock swap valued at $350bn (£217bn), with the deal expected to close by the end of 2000. The combination will create a company with $40bn in revenue in its first year of operation and encompass properties ranging from ICQ to the WB television network.
Among other things the deal represents the merger of an online powerhouse with one of the leading providers of high-speed Internet access. AOL has begun pushing its online service into consumer appliances such as AOL TV and broadband services such as cable-modems and digital subscriber line (DSL), while Time Warner controls an extensive cable-based broadband network.
Cable modems and DSL are considered the next generation of Internet access, bringing constant Internet connectivity and high data transfer speeds into the home for a reasonable price.
Research manager with IDC in the UK James Eibisch says another significant benefit of this deal for consumers is likely to be terms of content, with Time Warner's TV, magazine and film properties spreading to every corner of AOL's Internet empire. "A lot of Time Warner's brands have international operations and international appeal," he says. "Time Warner gains a very strong Internet channel and AOL gains content."
Time Warner's many different media interests will undoubtedly bolster AOL's Internet content and supply. Popular brands such as Time, CNN, Warner Bros., Sports Illustrated, People, TNT, Cartoon Network, Warner Music Group and Entertainment Weekly will certainly mean an increased variety of information and entertainment for AOL's many customers.
Mikael Arnbjerg, market analyst with IDC in Denmark, says the impact on European consumers is likely to be delayed. "I'm not sure that this is going to have a huge impact in Europe," he says. "We [European consumers] are not really what they had in mind when they made this deal. AOL is big in Europe but only because it is joined with Bertelsmann. There could be conflict between Bertlesmann and Time-Warner."
Bertelsmann has made assurances that it sees no conflict with Time Warner, and intends to continue its AOL Europe partnership unchanged. AOL Europe is a joint venture between Bertelsmann and AOL.
Research director at IDC Europe Ken Frazer, on the other hand, says the merger could is likely to speed up the rate at which broadband and TV-based Internet are brought to European consumers. "Maybe the magic words are 'CNN', 'Bertelsmann' and 'Web TV' as far as Europe is concerned," he says. "Time Warner's infrastructure is not really relevant to Europe except for CNN. The infrastructure for Web TV may be US-specific but the device itself is not, and Bertelsmann could provide the infrastructure for this in Europe. This is where the European effects may come bubbling out."

Woodman – who spent the second half of last season at Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen – was keen to play first-team football away from St James's Park in readiness for a challenge for the goalkeeping jersey at Newcastle next term.
United, however, opted to keep Woodman on Tyneside after he refused to sign a one-year extension to his contract, which runs to 2020.
The England Under-21 international unhappiness at his situation has alerted a number of clubs, including Arsenal.
Rafa Benitez.
Benitez has acknowledged that the 21-year-old needs regular football at this stage of his career, though Newcastle's manager has hinted that he must commit his future to the club before being allowed out on loan.
"I was talking with Lee (Charnley, Newcastle's managing director) about different players, so we know more or less the majority of them," said Benitez, who has four goalkeepers at the club.
"Now it's just to make decisions when the time is right. We agree that he has to play, but, at the same time, he has to have a future with the club."
United wanted Woodman to sign a one-year extension on the same terms as his existing deal, which was signed in 2016 before he won the World Cup with England's Under-20s and made his first-team debut.

This fall, UT is welcoming 1,430 transfer students — up more than 150 over last year.
In the fall, the University of Tennessee in Knoxville is expecting to enroll 1,430 transfer students, the biggest group in at least 10 years. And officials there expect that pool to continue to grow.
UT is one of many universities across the state that has been beefing up its efforts to recruit transfer students in the face of the Tennessee Promise scholarship program, which is expected to pump thousands of students into the community college system in the fall. While Tennessee Promise might be peeling some students away from four-year schools in the short term, the program could provide those institutions with a growing pipeline of transfer students starting in two years.
Last year, UT placed transfer-specific admissions counselors in Memphis and Nashville in an attempt to draw students from Middle and West Tennessee, according to the statement. There also are two transfer counselors in Knoxville.
The UT system joined forces with the Tennessee Board of Regents in 2011 to designate dozens of community college majors whose credits would automatically transfer to any public university in the state.
Starting in the fall, all UT transfer students will start using a computer system that helps students stay on track to a timely graduation.
Many schools in Middle Tennessee have started similarly aggressive recruiting efforts.
Middle Tennessee State University this year introduced a dual admissions program that allows community college students to start planning the details of their transfer from the moment they enroll. Under the dual admissions program, students at any of the state's 13 community colleges essentially will become an MTSU student in advance. They get a student ID, access to campus and an MTSU adviser.
Tennessee State University recently established the Office of Community College Initiatives and hired a small staff that works to admit community college students to the university's flagship programs ahead of time.
MTSU, TSU and Austin Peay State University are guaranteeing scholarships for transfer students who meet certain academic standards during their time at community college.
