Into the Storm: The Return of the Disaster Film
Movie Review
by Sandra Olmsted As disaster films go, director Steven Quale's Into the Storms delivers all those films promise: huge, exciting special effects and a human face on hope for survival against bigger-than-life, unstoppable disaster. Like other tornado disaster films since Twister popularized storm chasing, Into the Storm has a team of them. Head storm chaser Pete (Matt Walsh) wishes he hadn't hired weather expert Allison (Sarah Wayne Callies) because she keeps missing the storms, and he needs to get a tornado on film or loose his funding. His support team consists of experienced driver Daryl (Arlen Escarpeta) and nervous camera operator Jacob (Jeremy Sumpter), who wishes he was on a bench with a drink in his hand. Although she really wants to get home for her five-year-old daughter's birthday, Allison sends the team toward Silverton and an ominous looking weather formation on the radar.
In the fictional town of Silverton, Gary (Richard Armitage), the widowed vice principal at the high school tries to convince the principal that the graduation should be moved indoors because of the forecast. Gary also struggles to corral his teenage sons, by-the-rules Donnie (Max Deacon) and daredevil Trey (Nathan Kress), who is comfortable with a camera in his hand. Trey convinces his big brother to skip filming the graduation for dad, so that Donnie can help his dream girl Kaitlyn (Alycia Debnam Carey) remake a video project at a derelict paper factory outside of town. Meanwhile, Donk (Kyle Davis) and Reevis (Jon Reep), two stoned rednecks, dream of fame and fortune via YouTube hits and stunts worthy of Jacka** TV show.
When the storm sirens blow, Pete happily leads his team into the storm; Gary herds the students and spectators into the building, and Donk and Reevis imagine video of themselves as storm chasers would be a good idea. When Gary discovers that Donnie has gone to the paper factory, he and Trey go after him, but unbeknownst to them, Donnie and Kaitlyn are in a life threatening situation. Unfortunately, only Pete and his team have the knowledge that it won't be just one tornado, but many that hit the area. The themes of seeing the event through the lenses of people's digital cameras and of climate change, which is only addressed in one preachy moment when Allison observes that huge storms used to be "once-in-a-lifetime events" and now occur annually, lack meaningful development.
Kudos to production designer David R. Sandefur, art director Marco Rubeo, set decorator Brana Rosenfeld, effects producer Randall Star, and the nine credited visual effects companies for the dynamic special effects that make the tornados and damage look very real. Brian Pearson's compelling camera work, Eric Sears' fast pace editing, Brian Tyler's driving score, and Per Hallberg's smart sound editing keep the film moving. Screenwriter John Swetnam and Quale, however, can't rise to the level of Quale's mentor, James Cameron, in balancing the big story and small ones, but they do put a human face on the disaster adequately enough. Released by Warner Bros., which also released Twister (1996) and The Perfect Storm (2000), Into the Storm is in theaters now. Into the Storm is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense destruction and peril, and language including some sexual references and runs an energetic 89 minutes. ###

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pladeo Corp., a holding company organized in Nevada ("Pladeo" or the "Company"), (OCTQB:PLAD) announced today that it has begun to make acquisitions of operating subsidiaries and will soon no longer be classified as a shell company. Future operating plans for the Colorado-based business include a concentration in financing, marketing, advertising, lodging and entertainment services geared to the recreational marijuana industry. To more closely identify with the market segment it serves, Pladeo changed its name to The MaryJane Group, Inc. and the Company anticipates the name change and new trading symbol to be approved by FINRA on or around April 9, 2014.
Joel C. Schneider, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pladeo, stated, "On January 1 of this year, Colorado became the first state to legalize the use of recreational marijuana for Colorado residents and for visitors to Colorado. In addition to providing debt financing to growers and dispensaries through our recently acquired subsidiary, Capital Growth Corporation, we intend to provide debt/equity financing to other unique businesses within the recreational marijuana sector, believing that financing private businesses to meet the needs of marijuana smokers is an example of a new business opportunity in which we desire to take an equity stake."
Once FINRA approval is obtained, the Company will announce the effective date of its name change and its new trading symbol.
Corporate offices are located at 625 E. 70th Avenue, Denver, CO 80229. Questions should be directed to Joel Schneider, President and Chief Executive Officer, at (303) 835-8603.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities of Pladeo Corp. Certain statements in this release and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future acquisitions and business development, the upcoming name change approval and new trading symbol, and the business opportunity in the recreational marijuana industry in the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. The forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including market acceptance of the Company's services and the Company's continued access to capital and other risks and uncertainties. The actual results the Company achieves may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on our current expectations and speak only as of the date of such statements.

On October 6, new Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) requirements will be in place for all hydrocodone-containing products (HCPs). See DEA's Final Rule for more details. Specifically, all HCPs will be Schedule II drugs, whereas at the present time, some are Schedule II, while others are Schedule III drugs. Hydrocodone is used at times in canine medicine for its ability to help control coughing in dogs and for pain control, so the scheduling change could be particularly of interest to small animal veterinarians.
So what does this new scheduling change mean for veterinarians? First, veterinarians who want to treat patients with HCPs on or after October 6 will need to make certain they are registered with the DEA to handle Schedule II substances. Registrants will be required to follow all other Schedule II requirements (see DEA rules or Practitioner's Manual):
- Use Form 222 to order HCPs and secure storage of Form 222.
- If dispensing from the clinic: check state rules which might limit the dispensed amount to a 30-day supply at one time.
- If prescribing: provide a written prescription (not phone or fax, unless it's for a short-term emergency, followed by sending a prescription in written form within 7 days) with zero refills. The prescription, or set of prescriptions can provide up to a 90-day supply maximum, for the client to have dispensed at a pharmacy of their choice.
- Maintain detailed records in a physical file for Schedule II, separate from Schedule III-V records.
- Keep accurate and detailed inventory records for HCPs and other Schedule II substances.
Note that for hydrocodone Schedule III prescriptions that are provided to clients before October 6, refills are allowed so long as they are dispensed before April 8, 2015. Thereafter, refills will not be allowed because all hydrocodone products will be Schedule II (and therefore ineligible for prescription refills).
Be sure to check state rules which might be more stringent. For additional details, also see the AVMA's Veterinary Compliance with the DEA and the Controlled Substance Act.

Do you know Bush hasn't attended one single funeral? Of more than a thousand, I'm pretty dang sure there was one in his area, at least once. But maybe he was just really, really busy. Bein' prezident'n'all.
I have to go buy a candle. I realize the ones I have in the house have either melted in the sun (ew) or are small, smelly votives that work well for baths but not so much for vigiling. Dude. I HAVE to have a regular candle in here somewhere. Don't I? That's just poor disaster planning.
Hey (no spoilers), didja see The Amazing Race on Monday? I just have to tell you—that whole Zorbing thing? Where they throw you into a big inflated clear plastic ball and then throw water in on you so you splash around inside and then push you down an eNORmous hill?
Done it.
Christy and Bethany and I did it all together once in New Zealand—we clambered in and they asked if we wanted the "wash cycle." We said no, and it was good we did, because if you say yes, they throw water with soap inside the bubble with you and you come out with more than just suds in your eye…. We bounced off each other and screamed all the way down the hill, and then birth-wriggled our wet way back out into the sun. The girls had already bungee jumped earlier in the week*, but I had been too freaked out to do it with them. This was more my speed. Awfully odd thing to do. Don't know why I've never seen it here, but it might be because the Kiwis are CRAZY. But fun.
*That bungee jump was something else—they did it at Taupo, the highest jump over water in New Zealand (where you can choose to actually hit the water at the bottom—that's just asking for trouble, if you ask me). Bethany REALLY wanted to do it. Christy was gung-ho. I was all about being the photographer. I know the edges of my chicken-shittedness, and this was one of 'em. No shame in that. This is not them, obviously, but this is from the platform:
Christy, on her way off the platform, realized that she might want to change her mind. She later described it: "You know when you fall off something and then you hit the ground a few seconds later? Well, if you don't hit the ground within a couple of seconds, your mind realizes that this is too big a fall and that you're going to DIE." She screamed like I've never heard screaming before. Seriously. No one had ever heard anything like it—even the employees were rather shaken before the hysterical laughter started. I kept snapping pictures her whole fall (and rise and fall and rise again). I need to find those. (Yeah, I can giggle, but had it been me, I probably would have had a very literal heart attack on the way down. I couldn't have done it.)
And Bethany? Cool little cucumber? When she remembered she wasn't wearing a bra, she just snapped her shirt back up with one hand and kept falling. Of course, we have that one on video tape. Heh.
Now go light a candle. Kay?

But in Cisco 6200 series, ports are unified. Ports can be configured to carry either Ethernet or Fibre Channel traffic. Using UCS manager , you can configure the port type as Ethernet or Fibre. In this article , we will see how to set the port mode and discussing about various port type supported on Fabric interconnect.
Configuring the port Mode:
1. Login to UCS Manager .
2. Navigate to Equipments – > Fabric Interconnect – > Fabric Interconnect A
3. Click on "Configure Unified ports" on the right side.
4. This wizard will allow to change the port mode from Ethernet to Fibre channel or FC to Ethernet. Changing the port mode on either module causes an interruption in data traffic because changes to the fixed module require a reboot of fabric interconnect and changes on an expansion module require a reboot on that module.
Click "Yes" to continue.
5. The default port type will be "Ethernet" . There is a slider (highlighted ) which will helps you to configure the port mode. Here the slider is in right most position and that confirms that all the ports mode is "Ethernet".
In my lab environment , I am going to use all the fixed module ports mode as Ethernet. So I am not going to modify anything on the fixed module part.
6. Click on the "Configure expansion module ports".
Here you can see that , I have used the slider to change the port type from Ethernet to FC . (Dragged the slide to towards left side). Currently ports from 11 to 16 are configured as FC uplinks ports.
7. Repeat the steps from 2 to 6 for Fabric interconnect – B
This demonstrations proves that we can easily modify the port mode from Ethernet to FC and vice-versa on the Fabric interconnect.
Port types:
The port type defines the type of traffic carried over a unified port connection. By default, unified ports changed to Ethernet port mode are set to uplink Ethernet port type. unified ports changed to Fibre Channel port mode are set to the Fibre Channel uplink port type. Fibre Channel ports cannot be unconfigured. But Ethernet port can be kept in unconfigured state. There won't be any reboot required in the fabric level to change the port type. But it doesn't meant that there won't be any impact to the services.
For an example , if you unconfigured the Ethernet uplinks ports , the whole UCS domain will be disconnected from the network. Be careful when you are playing with the links.
If you set the port mode as Ethernet, you can configure the following port types:
- Server ports
- Ethernet uplink ports
- Ethernet port channel members
- FCoE ports
- Appliance ports
- Appliance port channel members
- SPAN destination ports
- SPAN source ports
If you set the port mode as FC , you can configure the following port types.
- Fibre Channel uplink ports
- Fibre Channel port channel members
- Fibre Channel storage ports
- SPAN destination ports
- SPAN source ports
Note: For SPAN source ports, configure one of the port types and then configure the port as SPAN source.
Hope this article informative to you.

At the HK/EU Expert Conference on cooperation in protecting and developing IP and brands at the beginning of this month, Peter Cheung, director of Intellectual Property Department (IPD) of Hong Kong SAR, is demonstrating that he is a man of all seasons in regard to encouraging smell marks in Hong Kong. Under the name Fragrant Hong Kong, which is a well chosen pleonasm since Hong Kong already means "fragrant harbour", each season has its own activities to raise awareness about and interest in smell marks, see here, suggesting that a company can provide a good with different smells for different seasons. One of the non-traditional marks Hong Kong allows is the smell mark (Cap. 559 Trade Mark Ordinance of Hong Kong, Section 3(2). Like any trademark it should be distinctive. Applicants cannot just provide a chemical formula, but must also give a description that is clear for members of the public looking at the electronic register exactly what the mark is being applied for.
香 heung/xiang= fragrant
港 gong/gang = harbour
香港= Hong Kong (En), Heung Gong (Cant.), Xiang Gang (Cn)= fragrant harbour
The IPD's philosophy is that companies can compete using all sensory stimuli in their goods and will organise the Global Sensory Branding Forum in Hong Kong in 2014.

A Fridley teen has pleaded guilty to an attempted armed robbery in Stillwater, which reportedly went awry when a fake gun broke and the pistol-whipped victim pursued his attackers.
Matthew James Klinefelter, 19, entered his guilty plea Tuesday in Washington County District Court for one count of felony aiding and abetting attempted simple robbery.
He was one of three teens arrested and charged in the August incident.
Klinefelter's alleged cohorts, Trenton Michael Zins, 17, of Cottage Grove and Noah Scheulin, 16, of Spring Lake Park, were charged in juvenile court with felony aiding and abetting attempted simple robbery. Zins pleaded guilty in January; he has a hearing in March. Scheulin failed to appear at a court hearing Thursday and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
According to a Stillwater police report — in which the juveniles' names are redacted — two males entered a public restroom on Main Street about 5 p.m. Aug. 29 while a third remained outside as a lookout.
A 20-year-old male in the bathroom was pistol-whipped, and one male told him he was being robbed, the victim told police. A 20-year-old female waiting outside the bathroom was held at gunpoint by the lookout, she told police.
The male victim said when he was hit on the back of the head, a silver gun fell into pieces on the ground. At that point, he said he assumed the gun was a replica air-soft pistol, and a struggle ensued, the police report said.
Witnesses said the attackers fled in different directions, with one teen jumping into the river.
Police officers located and arrested the three suspected teens.
Klinefelter's sentencing is scheduled for May 7.

Bearing Fruit : Ministry With Real Results
Full Product Description
Thousands of congregations are in serious trouble. Children are not being taught the faith. Disciples are not being made. Lives are not being transformed. The poor are not being blessed. Communities are not being redeemed. These congregations know something is terribly wrong. And in most cases, the problems have little to do with the pastor's prayer life or whether the pastor takes weekly Sabbath time. In fact, in many of these churches members deeply respect their pastors as sincerely spiritual people of utmost personal faith and integrity. But they need more from their pastoral leaders. They need leaders who define ministry in terms of fruitfulness as well as faithfulness. They need pastors and lay leaders who ask about the outcomes of any given ministry or program, not just its process. Mostly, they need a vision of ministry that focuses on changing people s lives. Absent that vision, ministry will fail. In Bearing Fruit, Lovett Weems and Tom Berlin provide readers with the tools they need to assess the fruit their ministry bears in the lives of their congregations, their communities, and the world.

Fun aside, New York Fashion Week can be grueling—especially for models, who can be booked up to five or six shows a day. That's no spa day—a model's hair and skin goes through the beauty ringer. How do beauties, like Karlie Kloss, keep it together, especially when it comes to their tresses?
It's a little hair growth supplement called Viviscal.
The vitamin is drug-free and contains AminoMar (a marine-based complex that promotes hair growth), biotin (for protein), vitamin C (to help you absorb more iron) and, well, iron (a key ingredient for strong strands).
Pro: It's especially great for thinning hair but also strengthens and promotes growth for other types of tresses as well. No wonder runway walkers like Karlie, Jessica Stam and Caroline Trentini can't get enough of this product, according to Into the Gloss.
Con: It tastes like the ocean (and not in a good way), probably from the shark and mollusk powder infused in the marine complex. And if you're a vegetarian, this product is probably not for you.
Pro: It's tried and tested (not just by this writer or supermodels) but on regular people since 1999. Even some research backs up the Viviscal's effective claim.
Con: Once you stop using it, your hair starts to revert back to its original state. [Ed note: This editor felt like she was losing some strands]. At $50 a pop for a monthly supply, this can get pretty pricey.
Takeaway: It works—at least for this writer and many ladies walking the NYFW runways this season. Of course, it may not be suited for everyone. We can't all be long-legged beauties—but we can have model hair.
Viviscal Extra Strength, $49.99

Update 11:08 a.m. Zusha Elinson of the Bay Citizen is closely tweeting the proceedings. Multiple tweets on Lynette Sweet's line of questioning. She's a critic of the cell phone shutdown.
Update 9:33 a.m.
Uh-oh. When you hear about "technical difficulties" from BART these days, you start to wonder…
NOTE: We're getting word of technical difficulties with the live streaming – we're told that the on-demand service will become available when the current meeting concludes. Aug. 24, 2011 9:28 am
So here are some live tweets related to the special BART Board meeting on BART's disruption of cell phone service on August 11:
Original post
On the agenda (.pdf) at today's Special Meeting of the BART Board of Directors:
3. Interruption of Cellular Service in a Portion of the BART System on August 11, 2011. For discussion.
The hearing stems from BART's decision to temporarily shut down wireless communications in order to disrupt a planned protest. The controversial move was not supported by some directors.
"I'm still just a little concerned that the board of directors, the policymaking body, did not have a voice in this," Director Lynette Sweet said on KQED Radio's Forum. "We're held accountable by the public for BART's actions, and if I'm going to be held accountable, at least allow me the privilege of voting to say yes or no on doing something that drastic."
The action also touched off a debate as to the legality of BART's action, and angered online activists that have targeted the transit agency because of the July shooting death of Charles Hill by a BART police officer. Computer hackers, working under the banner of a loosely formed group called Anonymous, then broke into BART-related web sites, releasing the private information of customers and BART police officers. In addition, a series of protests organized online have disrupted train service as BART closed down certain stations during evening commutes. Forty-five people were arrested during the latest action on Monday.
The BART board meeting was scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. BART should be webcasting it live here when it starts.

HCL Technologies
Enhanced Vision System
The Situation Today
Computer vision and image processing, offers multifold opportunities for product development in the aerospace industry. Specific applications are developed with core functions that extend across civilian and military application areas. Using proprietary technology, HCL provides image processing solutions to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) from real time video capture and image exploitation using embedded technology for: aerial surveillance and reconnaissance applications, enhanced fusion vision for situational awareness applications, and automatic vision inspection systems for quick inspection of components in a manufacturing industry. HCL also has image processing expertise of high resolution remote sensing images from the satellite. These technologies translate into real world applications that meet our clients' individual needs and provide innovative solutions.
How HCL Can Help
HCL offers the following solutions in the area of enhanced vision systems:
- Aerial Video Surveillance
- Embedded Vision Engine
- Multi-sensor Fusion
- Enhanced Fusion Vision System
- Automatic Fuselage Vision Inspection
- Satellite Image processing
Aerial Video Surveillance
Airborne surveillance is widely used in a range of civilian and military applications, such as search and rescue missions, border security, resource exploration, wildfire and oil spill detection, target tracking, aerial surveillance systems, and more. The unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) is equipped with special sensors (day / night) to image objects on the ground and assign the recognition task (surveillance) to the crew, or record image data and interpret it off-line. Pilotless airborne vehicles with sensors carrying platforms transmit the data to a ground control station, for analysis and data interpretation.
HCL offers a full suite of real-time aerial video surveillance capabilities, from blur noise images to clear imagery to large-area visualization and video processing. We offer image processing technologies for real time image acquisition, image pre-processing for noise removal and adaptive enhancements, to create a comprehensive, panoramic view display. HCL has real-time enhancement and geo-registration capabilities. This helps improve accuracy in search, moving object tracking, region of interest processing, geo-location identification, image area measurement, of image database creation of targets under various resolutions with feature details.
Embedded Vision Engine
HCL has designed and developed an embedded vision engine known as the Ground Image Exploitation System (GIES) for an aeronautical agency. The system consists of multiple embedded vision processors on an industrial PC with Frame grabber, graphic card for multiple display with developed GUI software using image processing algorithms for aerial surveillance study. Image exploitation is a process carried out by acquisition and processing of sensory information of a scene or targets for aerial surveillance applications. This process involves processing large volume of image data acquired by multi sensor such as optical, infrared and radar data. For Information extraction and quick analysis the image data has to be processed using fast computational image processing algorithms and efficient embedded processor. The image exploitation system has built in tools with functional features to acquire, store, retrieve, process, analyze, interpret, display information from imagery during a vehicle mission. The data captured by the camera is transferred to work station and analyzed to provide imagery information.
Imagery information is in the form of video clips, video frames and the corresponding flight data, the calculated location of the targets and related information. The extraction and exploitation of imagery intelligence from aerial surveillance enhances understanding and interpretation of scene contents, allows vehicle to see distant targets, and enhances surveillance capabilities. Snapshot of image processing is given below.
Multi-Sensor Fusion
Multi-sensor data fusion seeks to combine information from multiple sensors and sources to achieve inferences that are not feasible from a single sensor or source. The fusion of information from sensors with different physical characteristics enhances the understanding of our surroundings and provides the basis for planning, decision-making, and control of autonomous and intelligent machines. In the past decades it has been applied to different fields such as pattern recognition, visual enhancement, object detection, area surveillance and so forth. Image fusion is a process of combining images, obtained by sensors of different wavelengths simultaneously viewing of the same scene, to form a composite image. The composite image is formed to improve image content and to make it easier for the user to detect, recognize, and identify targets and increase his situational awareness.
HCL is conducting research activities mainly in the area of developing fusion algorithms that improves the information content of the composite imagery, and for making the system robust to the variations in the scene, such as dust or smoke, and environmental conditions, i.e. day or and night. The fused image has enhanced vision system information that is more understandable and decipherable for human perception and, preferably, for machine learning and computer vision. One of the multi-sensor applications developed for Civilian study is Enhanced fusion vision system (EVFS).
Enhanced Fusion Vision System
In poor visibility such as rain, snow or fog or in adverse weather conditions it is difficult for the aircraft pilot to land or take off. To handle this situation and as a aid to pilot we have developed Enhanced fusion vision system that combines two sensor sources, visible and infra-red sensor images obtained using CCD camera of the scene and it is, processed using enhanced embedded fusion vision processor. The core function of the system is to enhance and fuse the sensor data to increase the information content and quality of the image for display. These operations are performed in real time for the pilot to use while flying. The embedded vision processor consists of image processing algorithms for pre-processing the input image for noise, image enhancement, and registration and image fusion logic. The processing logic and a sample Image of the enhanced input image and the results of image fusion are given below.
Automatic Fuselage Vision Inspection
Inspection of aircraft components in an aircraft is very tedious and time consuming process during the assembly or production process and if it has to be performed by humans. Visual inspections of components are performed by humans either in a block wise or compartment wise to check the assembly process or during parts integration. Repetitive inspection of production lines is a labor-intensive activity. Automated systems are built for inspection using vision sensors which are not only cost-effective, but give consistency of judgment and documented traceability to the inspection process. One of the aircraft main body section is the Fuselage which accommodates the crew and passengers or cargo. Most fuselages are long, cylindrical tubes or rectangle body shapes and all components of the aircraft are attached to Fuselage. During the assembly process many parts or items such as gasket, nuts, rivets, etc has debris collected and if they not removed or inspected properly it will short circuit the lines which may lead to disaster. One of the solution for automatic inspection is by Machine vision camera based inspection systems which have the ability to acquire the visual imagery of the components and inspect the parts automatically by pattern matching with prior images of the aircraft components in the fuselage area and reduce the cost of removing the debris at a faster turnaround time.
In the past three years significant progress has been made toward new systems that use remote electronic sensors and cameras for nondestructive inspection (NDI) of aircraft. Functionality has been demonstrated for "autonomous'' operation scenarios. These advances have been made in the civilian sector primarily towards ANDI (Automated Nondestructive Inspector). Currently these inspections are carried out by highly trained aircraft maintenance personnel in a straightforward manual manner. An airplane is taken out of service, scaffolding and other means of access to all parts of the airplane's surface is arranged, safety harnesses and other safety gear are deployed, and a direct visual inspection is done. This is in fact one of the most complexes, difficult, unreliable and time consuming, non optimal solution. HCL has developed expertise in nondestructive inspection and surface defects detection using machine vision cameras and image processing techniques. Defective parts are automatically detected using machine vision image processing technology. The system consists of CCD camera and optics, Frame grabber, lighting, part sensor, PC and inspection Image processing software with hardware interfaces. Inspection software consist of developed image processing software to detect defects of parts manufactured in a production process (Real time ) automatically. Some of the function of the software is to detect defects such as rust, scratch, parts presence / absence, measurements & gauging studies, etc. A sample fuselage inspection of aircraft parts are given below.
Partial View of the Fuselage Interior
A machine vision computer system design is presented for automatic camera based inspection of the aircraft fuselage to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of the inspection process by incorporating visible and infrared range information. Critical inspection tasks that will be investigated include parts missing, bearing component wear, incipient failure of electrical systems, and identification of missing equipment, etc. In addition, a process is designed to detect foreign objects underneath the fuselage in the aircraft.
We have developed Image processing software consist of algorithms for image enhancement, edge detection, filters, Geometric pattern matching, blob detection, part Positioning, Measuring, Barcode reading, Object Recognition and Flaw detection, Gauging tools and Color tools. Sample Processed results with GUI are given below.
Satellite Image Processing
During the last decade, remote sensing applications of satellite imagery have been investigated through an 'experimental' approach: a few imaging satellites have been launched and exploited by national and international space agencies in order to demonstrate the feasibility of remote sensing applications in the field of cartography, resource or disaster monitoring, etc. Image processing is a key technology for operational exploitation of satellite images. Satellites can provide huge amounts of data that in principle could be processed and provide very useful information in areas such as agriculture. Frequent types of analyses of these images are classification (e.g., to identify roads, urban areas, types of cultivation, etc.) and rectification and clustering. The size of the image to be processed by remote sensing end users is typically 20-40 Mbytes per spectral band. Digital image processing involves the implementation of computer algorithms aimed to fulfill several tasks in acquisition, management, and enhancement and processing of images in digital format. Thus, with the widespread development of computer technology, it has become the subject of many useful computer applications, with a remarkable technological impact.
Digital image processing includes the detection, perception, interpretation or enhancement of targets within images. HCL has developed expertise in Image processing techniques which involves development of set of tools and techniques such as histogram correction and equalization, convolution and morphological filtering, spectral processing, segmentation, description, classification and so on for image interpretation and analysis. Among these techniques, the user of a given application must choose the most adequate, and apply it with the convenient parameters. These choices (the processing tool and the corresponding parameters) are mostly done on a trial and error basis. In particular we have already implemented several advanced image processing techniques such as Fourier transform, geometric segmentation, and classification. We have also developed data fusion techniques by taking the best attributes from multiple sensors and merging them into one product. The most common form is fusing a high spatial resolution panchromatic image with a set of lower spatial resolution spectral images. Sample results of satellite processing are given below.

Apologies in advance if this is a dupe.... Sorry if this is a FAQ. My Google skills are failing me. I'm in the initial stages of designing a database for my super-, ultra-, uber-web jukebox application -- which is really a vehicle for me to learn RDBMSes, SQL, JSPs, servlets, etc. Right now, I'm trying to come up with the best way to model musical artists -- singers, song- writers, etc. The problem is that these people have an annoying habit performing under multiple stage names. David Bowie, born David Jones, also released music under the name Arnold Corns. Here is my current approach: CREATE SEQUENCE person_info_id_seq; CREATE TABLE person_info ( id INTEGER DEFAULT nextval('person_info_id_seq') PRIMARY KEY, real_id INTEGER DEFAULT currval('person_info_id_seq') NOT NULL REFERENCES person_info, last_name TEXT NOT NULL, first_name TEXT DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, UNIQUE (last_name, first_name) ); So I might have this: id | real_id | last_name | first_name ----+---------+------------+------------ 4 | 4 | Jones | David 5 | 4 | Bowie | David David Jones is a "real" name, because id = real_id. I do not want to allow Arnold Corns to be added with real_id = 5 (since David Bowie is not a "real" name), so I've done this: CREATE FUNCTION person_is_real(INTEGER) RETURNS BOOLEAN AS 'SELECT $1 = (SELECT real_id FROM person_info WHERE id = $1) AS RESULT;' LANGUAGE SQL ; ALTER TABLE person_info ADD CHECK (id = real_id OR person_is_real(real_id)); I can't help feeling, however, that this is a bit kludgy. Can anyone suggest a better way? Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher i(dot)pilcher(at)comcast(dot)net ========================================================================

The Rev. Jack E. McClendon, 83, a longtime pastor at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington who also was involved in civil rights work, died Jan. 26 at Sibley Memorial Hospital. He had congestive heart failure.
The Alabama native was a co-founder of the Downtown Cluster of Congregations, an ecumenical group of city congregations involved in social justice issues.
Rev. McClendon was active in civil rights causes in the 1960s through New York Avenue Presbyterian, which served as a gathering place for anti-Vietnam War activists and a publicity office for the Poor People's Campaign of 1968.
The church hosted Southern civil rights demonstrators who came through Washington. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached twice at Rev. McClendon's invitation at the New York Avenue church, where Rev. McClendon was associate pastor for 34 years until retiring in 1991.
Over the years, Rev. McClendon turned his ministry into a crusade on behalf of the mentally ill, the homeless and the elderly and spent much of his time in personal advocacy for the infirm and powerless. The McClendon Center, founded in 1972 and located at the church, serves meals and provides counseling and advocacy services for more than 100 senior citizens, homeless people and deinstitutionalized mentally ill people.
"One of the things I'm proudest of in my career is giving the church an open door, opening it to the poor, people of color, people of all faiths and persuasions," Rev. McClendon told The Washington Post in a 1991 article.
Jack Elliott McClendon, a District resident, was born in LaFayette, Ala., and was raised a Southern Baptist. He served in the Army in the Pacific during World War II.
After the war, he graduated from Mercer University in Macon, Ga., where he said a pivotal experience was studying under a progressive philosophy professor who made a strong case for the church as a voice for social change.
"My eyes were opened to the conditions around me," he told the Washington Times in 1991. "I didn't hear anything like that in the church. That constituted the heart of the call."
He was ordained a Baptist minister, and he was a pastor in Alabama before leaving in 1950 to study at Union Theological Seminary in New York, a center of liberal Protestant scholarship. He also did mission work in East Harlem before going to Scotland to study for a doctorate from the University of Glasgow. "I knew when I returned to the United States I would be Presbyterian," he told the Times.
Rev. McClendon was considered a dean of the city's mainline Protestant clergy and a political player.
He was an early backer of Marion Barry but broke with then-Mayor Barry in the late 1980s and threw his support, unsuccessfully, behind the mayoral candidacy of D.C. Council member John Ray (D-At Large).
After retiring from the New York Avenue church, Rev. McClendon served as a chaplain at Calvert Memorial Hospital in Prince Frederick.
Survivors include a sister.

The first paragraph of the book got me really confused. But once you get that it's suppose to be so confusing it's okay :) David and Dex have been best friends forever, since they were small kids, but actually there was always something MORE between them. On the first and only occasion they act upon their mutual desire, Dex is killed leaving David shattered. Knowing there is NO WAY he could stay home with Dex's memory as well as the knowledge he is gay he moves as far away as he can and when opportunity strikes he starts working in gay pron at Johnnies. Giving a fake name comes naturally to him - "Dex", his lost best friend, almost lover, and the wild guy who went after the things he wanted unlike David who mostly followed his best friend.
The story takes place 8 Years later when David (from here on known to us and referred to as Dex) does mostly work behind the camera, editing, using his economics degree (well, almost degree.. he hasn't actually finished his studies..) to make more of Johnnies. Right from the start he and John (the manager of Johnnies) formed a rather close friendship but at the moment they are farther apart as John finds himself addicted to drugs and makes too many mistakes for Dex to accept.. It was interesting getting more about John, I can't wait to get HIS story. On the one hand he built a very special sort of company that though sells, well, PORN, it has a big conscience. I liked that. Yet, the way he has been behaving lately and especially closer to the end of the book puts him on a totally different lighting.. a very gloom and dark one.
Before I get more into the plot I have a HUGE warning. Have you read the previous installment "Chase in Shadow"? if the answer to that is NO - don't you DARE start reading this book. The story's timeline starts with an interlude to David's past and them moves to the present which is close to the ending of the first installment, meaning you'll get WAY too many spoilers and other points of view you really shouldn't be getting and frankly, it would destroy the book for you because the whole buildup of Tommy and Chase's relationship and how it was formed will be ruined.
Right around the time "the shit hit the fan" with Chase, it seems that wherever Dex is, Kane appears as well, I didn't really think about it back then and considering neither did the guys I feel better about it ;) Kane have been supporting his sister and his baby niece for a while now, actually though he got into porn for other reasons (better a well paid man-whore than just being used because he is considered one..) but after his niece got diagnosed with cancer it was the best way to keep funding the huge medical bills. Yet once Kane confesses to his sister how he got all the money she kicks him out of his OWN HOUSE. Yeah.. totally doesn't make any sense.. but Kane (his real name is Carlos) wanting his sister and his niece to be as far away as possible from her abusive husband rather keep them in his house and find another place to live, at least temporarily.. The one he goes to is Dex.
Kane comes with his request at a very stressful night for Dex, the same night he tries to tell Scott (his "ex") they are truly and finally DONE! While helping Dex deal with the situation Kane finds himself staying the night as it is and in the morning Dex has no reason to deny Kane even if it means they will be sleeping together since Kane's reptilian friends take ALL of the spare bedroom, or rather, they take so much the bed had to be taken out..
Carlos never had a girlfriend before, he only had meaningless relationship, mostly "encounters" so he doesn't actually know what to call the sort of relationship he forms with Dex and he sort of misses out all of the clues of Dex falling for him (or HIMSELF falling for Dex..). But Dex, poor sweet Dex, finds himself, AGAIN, in love with someone who doesn't want to be in a gay relationship and yet he can't kick Kane out for too many reasons.. Carlos is the sweetest man! Yeah he isn't that smart, but he compensates for that in how caring he is, especially to Dex. Dealing with Chase and Tommy through their crisis is draining, not to mention everything that is going on in Johnnies, with the secretary as well as John being high way too much for Dex's comfort. Though all of that Kane is there and even though Kane makes a few mistakes along the way, I think that deep down inside Dex doesn't reject him because though he says nothing his actions show just how much he cares about Dex.
The plot thickens when Dex has to visit his family for Christmas. He is unwilling to leave Kane behind but he also knows that bringing him means either lying or making a scene that will end poorly for him. Carlos makes it easier on Dex when he says - as long as they sleep in the same bed it's going to be okay. So though it wasn't really (okay), it was. I liked how it played, yeah we could have gotten a better "happy ending" with his family, but it was more realistic this way. I think Dex needed this closure and we couldn't have gotten Kane and Dex's story without this piece.
Dealing with Dex's family isn't enough.. we also get a closure with Carlos' family. I think I knew this is what's going to happen from the start, it was somehow obvious and not only because we got a hint to that through the previous novel (I don't want to say more than that - it's enough as it is..) so though it's a bit strange it was somehow "right" to end this part the way it did.
Another thing that got addressed which I actually appreciated was what comes next for Dex and Carlos as well as other employees at Johnnies, mostly the ones who are out or are looking for a way out. It was really nice and I can't wait to see how Dex's ideas play out in the next installments.
I really enjoyed this one, truthfully it dealt with a bit TOO much stuff, I would have been okay with a shorter book but I guess the things that Kane and Dex dealt with NEEDED to be addressed so I can't really complain. We got more about Ethan in this book and I really can't wait to get his story he sound like SUCH a sweetheart! :)

If true love is so important to everyone,
then why is that we have so many issues on finding it?
I know, we fear rejection, want attention,
crave affection, and dream of perfection..
But in the end, Life is what happens,
when you're so busy making other plans…
True love is not easy, they're hard work. It's about compromise, growing together, etc, etc. But if it's the right person, then it's easy. Looking at that girl and knowing she's all you really want out of life, that should be the easiest thing in the world, right?
I know the odds are, the love of my life isn't gonna magically walk through that door. I'm the only one with the power to change my life. I'm the only one who can attract a woman to me. I cannot stand by idly waiting for a woman to come along and sweep me off my feet. It's not her job to do so.
But, how do we know about "the right person"? Because, as far as I concerned, It's not always easy to see someone's true colors. Sometimes, we must look beneath the feminine spell to find that fragile ego. Ignore the sparkle of the jewel, bring the truth out of the shadows, to see the real beauty of her smile..
Besides that, true love doesn't happen right away, it's an ever-growing process. It's like Engineering, It has phase for "developing". There is Issued for Internal Review, Issued for Approval, Issued for Design, and Issued for Construction..
The Real Truths..
You see, we shouldn't have to fight for a spot in someone's life. If someone wants you in their life, they'll make room for you. On the other hand, if someone wants to be a part of your life, they'll also make an effort to be in it. It's just stupid to insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth, because if they know your worth, they will create a space for you.
But, somehow, I don't know what a privilege it is to grow old with someone, who doesn't drive me "insane", or doesn't humiliate me beyond repair. But, the thing is, it's about two people being true to each other, even when they are separated in distance. I mean, remaining faithful is never an option, but a priority. Loyalty is everything.
Be The Right Guy First..
Even when I exclude the religion talks, "the value of fair" will still be the same. In order to be with the right woman, I have to be the right guy first. It's kind of funny though, lots of people want to meet with the right person, but they didn't put significant effort to be the right person for someone else first.
I think, any woman want a man who can treat himself in a good way. Treating yourself with respect does not mean you should be a self-centered jerk. If you cannot figure out how to solve your own problems, then how can you help her, or even others problem once you both built a family?
Yes, any woman want a proven provider. It takes a strong commitment to one another, and if I do not display, "I can take care of anything" attitude, then indeed, love will not carry you through the hard times, especially when there are a big stack of bills that need to be paid. It's about being responsible, not just being helpless.
So, I used to ask myself, am I ready to take control of my situation and quit allowing myself to be the victim of circumstances? Can I find a balance that says, "Yes, I'm able to take care of myself, and therefore I can take care of you & our future family too"..?? Then, I know I'm on my way to be ready for a serious relationship.
It's Not About Right Timing & Not Right Place..
One thing I've realized is that if the party does not have the 110% intention to be together, then she is not the one for me. I always believe if real intention is there, any obstacles, no matter how insurmountable, can be overcome. If the intention isn't there, then anything else can come forth as a "reason" for not being together.
It's stupid to justify different reasons made up in our mind, to fill up the gap between reality & our expectations. I mean, If we keep thinking that we will be together with someone, once the circumstance changes, or once the timing changes, or once become a better person, then perhaps this isn't the right person.
Because ultimately, it's not about the right place or right timing. It's about whether she is the right person. If she is the right person, we would have been together regardless of how wrong the place or timing is. That's why it's called the right person. It's not about having the time, it's about making the time.
To see reality as it is, see the actions as they are, and let them speak for themselves. Actions ultimately speak louder than words. It gives me certainty on where my partner stands.
Same Effort by The Duo..
Yes, every relationship / love / marriage requires effort by the duo. If you are constantly the one putting in more effort, sooner than later it'll drain you, and losing yourself identity in the process. I know lots of people said, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
However, are you prepared to do that for the rest of your life? I mean, you invested yourself into your relationships and poured in your hearts & souls. But, your partners, on the other hand, only put in a fraction of that. They barely cared – it seemed as if the relationship was just a nice add-on to their lives, rather than something they really valued. Is your ideal partner someone who doesn't care to put effort into the relationship as you?
The Clarity..
Finding a right person isn't about trying to transform yourself into the perfect image of what you think they want. It's about being exactly who you are and then finding someone who appreciates that. Because, with the right person, there is no "sacrifice", but there is only commitment. There is no "useless drama", or "pretend", or "test", there is only "happy / sad story", "trust" & "respect".
There's no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Yup, I've learned enough, and ready to step-up, to meet someone, that might change my life forever…

This past Friday, we - by which I mean the founders of Club Alfresco - met to discuss the future of this club. We are ecstatic! We've got SGA approval, a plan to take a field trip to Ash Meadows before June 15th, donations coming in to such a degree that we're going to have to set up a proper account (everything above-board here, old chums!), and our Madam President has arranged for The Pahrump Valley Times to run a brief on our club to introduce it to the general college populace as well as induce membership fervor on a - hopefully - huge level! Hi-ho, Club Alfresco! Hooray!

text: "Dehua has many beautiful ceramics", is how the Italian traveller Marko Polo described Dehua. Porcelain manufacture has a long history in Dehua. Well-known both in China and overseas for its top quality, fine workmanship, the porcelain industry in Dehua is regarded as one of the three major porcelain capitals in China, together with Jingde town of Jiangxi Province and Lilin of Hunan Province. In Ming Dynasty, the "Ivory White" ceramics developed by the great master He Chaozong surprised the world and was named "China White" by the westerners. People describe Dehua top white porcelain as "white as snow, thin as paper, bright as mirror" and describe Dehua Jianbai porcelain as "smooth and transparent as condensed lipid and frozen jade". The porcelain Kuanyin made in Dehua is called "Oriental Venus".

Tire strikes truck on I-75
WALTON, Ky. - A Northern Kentucky man suffered life-threatening injuries when a dislodged tire bounced over a highway-dividing wall near Walton, Ky. and struck his vehicle.
Sandra Slater, 41, of Saint Albans, West Virginia was traveling southbound on I-75 around 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon when the left front wheel of her 1996 Chevrolet Silverado came off and started rolling down the roadway, according to the police report.
Police say the tire bounced over the wall separating southbound from northbound I-75 and struck the hood and windshield of a 2004 Silverado driven by Michael Ramsey, 34, of Williamstown, Ky., near the 172.5 mile marker.
Ramsey's passenger, Alesha Monk, 33, of Williamstown, managed to bring the truck to a safe stop after the collision.
A medical helicopter transported Ramsey to University of Cincinnati Medical Center with reported life-threatening injuries, according to a press release from the Boone County Sheriff's Office.
The release indicates that Monk suffered minor injuries but declined treatment.
It's unclear if Slater suffered injuries during the accident.
The accident remains under investigation.

WASHINGTON (Jul. 30)
Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon and Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger met today in what one State Department source said was an effort to "have some quiet diplomacy here." Emerging after a two-hour meeting with the Secretary, Allon said that they had begun "a month's pilgrimage in search of peace." The Israeli official told reporters that he and Kissinger also discussed the next round of negotiations for a Middle East peace settlement which will possibly include the reconvening of the Geneva peace conference.
In a brief statement to reporters after the meeting ended late this afternoon both Allon and Kissinger described the talks as positive. The Secretary said the talks were a continuation of a "characteristically friendly fashion" in which meetings between the two countries were held. Allon thanked Kissinger and President Nixon for their efforts in achieving the disengagement agreements in the Mideast and said the talks today helped "chart the course of peace in the Middle East." When a reporter asked about the Palestinians, Allon replied that "most Palestinians are Jordanian citizens and most Jordanians are Palestinians."
According to sources, Kissinger is expected to urge Israel to begin talks with Jordan rather than with Egypt and also to continue to sound out Israel on the question of the Palestinians when he meets again tomorrow with Allon for a working luncheon.
Even as the two diplomats were conferring. President Nixon announced he will nominate Richard Murphy, a career diplomat, as the first U.S. Ambassador to Syria since the Six-Day War Murphy has been U.S. Ambassador to Mauritania since 1971. The resumption of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Syria was announced by Nixon and Syrian President Hafez Assad when they met in Damascus June 16.
Meanwhile, the talks between Allon and Kissinger took place as tension in Israel heightened over the possibility of a renewed Middle East war by the end of the year. Because of this, the United States, preoccupied with the conflict in Cyprus for the last two weeks, is expected to push for some kind of movement soon on negotiations to prevent a new conflict. Kissinger is scheduled to meet with officials from Egypt, Jordan and Syria after his talks with Allon.
The Allon-Kissinger talks were also held against the background of a visit by King Faisal of Saudi Arabia to Egypt and the departure of Yasir Arafat, Palestine Liberation Organization leader, for the Soviet Union. Arafat went to the USSR at the invitation of Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev and it is expected that the Soviet Union will recognize the PLO as the only representative of the Palestinians.
Allon, who arrived in Washington Sunday for his first visit to the United States since becoming Foreign Minister and Deputy Premier, will also be discussing the long-term military and economic aid that Israel has been seeking from the U.S. and that President Nixon promised when he was in Israel. Allon is scheduled to meet with Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger tomorrow and with Treasury Secretary William Simon and congressional leaders Thursday. He will see Kissinger tomorrow night at a dinner given in Allon's honor by Israeli Ambassador Simcha Dinitz.

In the first game of the second half of the 2013 Southern League season, the Smokies returned Justin Bour and Jae-Hoon Ha to the lineup and the offense torched Lookouts' starter Zach Lee. Tennessee (35-35) improved to 10-6 when Bour and Ha are on Buddy Bailey's lineup card with a 7-2 win over Chattanooga (35-36).
The Smokies exploded for six runs in the fourth inning after six consecutive two-out hits. Christian Villanueva lined a 2-2 offering over the fence in left field for his sixth home run of the season to get the rally started. After an Anthony Giansanti single and a double by Rafael Lopez, Ronald Torreyes knocked in his second run of the game to put Tennessee ahead 3-1. Smokies starter Alberto Cabrera lined a double to right to extend the lead to 5-1. Matt Szczur capped the big inning with a double to left field making it 6-1.
After almost two months on the disabled list, Bour crushed his third home run of the year in the fifth inning with one out in his third at-bat to extend the lead to six runs.
Tennessee fell behind Chattanooga early in the game. After a double play in the bottom of the first, Cabrera walked Joc Pederson on five pitches. The outfielder promptly stole second base and cleanup hitter Brian Cavazos-Galvez lined a double over the head of Szczur in center to put Chattanooga on top 1-0.
In the top of the third, Lopez hammered a doubled off the wall in straightaway centerfield to lead off the frame. The next batter, Torreyes tucked a double inside the third base bag to score Lopez and tie the tally at one.
Chattanooga tacked on a run in the bottom of the seventh. Zach Rosscup walked Jan Vazquez to lead off the inning. With two outs, Miguel Rojas singled in Vazquez to cut the deficit to 7-2.
Torreyes went 3-for-4 with 2 RBI's and a run scored while Villanueva and Lopez collected two knocks, combining for three runs scored.
Cabrera worked six innings allowing an earned run on six hits, three walks, six strikeouts. The righty went 1-for-3 at the plate with 2 RBI and a run scored.
Game two of the series is Thursday night at AT&T Field in Chattanooga at 7:15. The Smokies will send lefty Austin Kirk (0-1, 7.36) to oppose Lookouts' southpaw Chris Reed (3-5, 3.80).
