KINGSTON, R.I. -- Temple can't get away from the story. It remains everywhere.
Owls acting head coach Dan Leibovitz popped in a game tape of Saint Joseph's-Rhode Island Wednesday afternoon at the team's Providence airport hotel, and the announcers were talking about the John Chaney suspension, the "goon" incident, and the broken arm of Saint Joseph's John Bryant.
When they picked up their morning copy of Wednesday's USA Today, there was a front-page article in the sports section on Chaney and the mess that has unfolded from the latest incident.
When they were in Philadelphia, the local newspapers and radio detailed the incident over and over again.
And then, when they got to the Ryan Center Wednesday night for their first road game since Chaney's suspension, they were greeted with a sign that said, "Goons."
The sign was abruptly confiscated by the Rhode Island security detail, and a number of students were cleared out from behind the Temple bench (a Rhode Island spokesperson said they weren't in their assigned seats). Earlier Wednesday, URI officials had let it be known that they didn't want any unsportsmanlike behavior directed toward Temple.
There were a few taunting chants of "we want Chaney," but those were basically harmless. Leibovitz said after the game that he thought the fans were classy.
But this was a road game against a 5-20 team. And even the one sign was telling. So, too, was the body language from Chaney's proclaimed "goon," Nehemiah Ingram.
The word on the hand-made sign was plural. It wasn't just referencing Ingram, meaning the whole team apparently has been tainted.
Sure, Ingram got the brunt of the booing when he checked into the game with 11:38 remaining in the second half. Every time Ingram was near the play, the small but boisterous Rhode Island student section booed. Ingram played four minutes, committed two fouls (one in which he just slapped down at the ball for an obvious whistle), one traveling call (negating a bucket) and no points or rebounds.
During the four-minute stint, official Frank Scagliotta even pulled Ingram aside to tell him a few things (who knows, maybe how to defend without committing a foul).
Ingram had to play because of foul problems for Temple's big men -- Wayne Marshall (three fouls) and Keith Butler (fouled out), but his demeanor looked like someone who wanted to be anywhere but here in Rhode Island.
Ingram started out on the bench next to the coaching staff, but as players checked in and out, he slowly slid down the bench. When he wasn't playing, he rested his head on his hand. Late in the game, when the crowd was jeering the Owls a bit, he had his head down in a towel.
He shuffled off the court with the rest of the team after the 65-57 loss.
Teammate Mardy Collins said afterward that, "we expected them to be on him." He said Ingram is handling it well and that he is a good person.
Ingram was off-limits to the media after the game. Temple spokesperson Larry Dougherty said Ingram had his say after the Massachusetts game last Saturday.
After that game, Associated Press reported that Ingram told reporters: "The toughest part was hearing John Bryant would not be able to play for the rest of the season. I just want people to know I'm a good guy at heart. I was raised in a church all my life. I'm not what everybody thinks I am. I'm a real nice guy."
But from this point forward, Dougherty said Ingram would only be made available if he made a significant contribution (for example, was the star of the game). That seems unlikely in the four minutes of action that he averages on a game-by-game basis.
So, who is Ingram? Well, he actually is a success story, since it took him two years to get eligible once he arrived at Temple. Dougherty said Ingram is on track to graduate and has earned back his fourth year of eligibility. That means Ingram won't be honored at Saturday's senior day against La Salle. He will be back for the 2005-06 season.
But what kind of reception will he have? That remains to be seen, but if the URI game is any indication, then the nickname likely will stick. The Owls could face some jeering at next week's Atlantic 10 tournament in Cincinnati, but that's still largely on a neutral court.
The worst could occur in the postseason NIT on the road (especially if Chaney is allowed to coach. As of Wednesday, Temple athletic director Bill Bradshaw said that hasn't been discussed).
The receptions certainly will be worse next season and probably will reach their zenith when the Owls play the Hawks either at Hawk Hill or at the Palestra.
Leibovitz and Collins said they expect to be taunted when they go on the road, saying they're used to it in the Atlantic 10 since Temple is usually the lightning rod in the league.
That's true, but it could get ugly if and when Chaney returns -- and certainly whenever Ingram checks into a game on the road.
Leibovitz supported Ingram's claim that he is a good person, but it's hard to know exactly who Ingram is since he was labeled a "goon" by his coach and isn't allowed to defend himself.
Because of the earlier academic issues, Ingram is only in his second season of playing. Last season, he averaged 1.9 points, 2.9 rebounds in 13.9 minutes a game. He started five of 29 games. This season, Ingram has played in only 16 games, getting DNP's in the other 10. He's averaging a mere 0.5 points, 0.8 rebounds and has committed 25 fouls in an average of four minutes a game.
Leibovitz is doing his best to keep this team together. He's only 31, and is a "regular guy in an extraordinary situation." For now, he's coaching the team, trying to manage how to handle Ingram and hoping that Chaney will return sooner than later.
Leibovitz and Collins said they missed Chaney's presence Wednesday and could have used his spirited coaching to wake them up from their slumber. They do sense a void. But the vacuum he has left behind, all by his own doing, has created a negative aura around the crew.
This story won't end until there is a resolution on Chaney's status for the postseason and beyond. But even then, as long as Ingram is on the team and the opposing fans want to pick on him, the story will continue to have legs. How long could be up to Chaney and Ingram.

Developing a broadly available set of services upon which your enterprise will rest is a daunting task. Typically difficult issues such as performance, scale, and availability need to reach 10 or 100 times that of a single application. Consider a simple logging mechanism. Implemented for enterprise consumption it needs to support hundreds of concurrent users not just a single local desktop, writing thousands of rows per second instead of tens of rows per minute, and provide process isolation so one user can corrupt another's information. All this and you are not allowed to degrade security. No performance tricks like pooling database connections on a single user ID. And of course, everything must work, all the time, for everyone.
Microsoft has given us a hand to achieve these goals... COM+ hosted components and the .Net frameworks Enterprise Services namespace create a safe, performant, and scalable environment. I am a huge fan of COM+. Object pooling, Just-In-Time-Activation, and role based security are the cornerstones of any Microsoft based enterprise architecture implementation. Add in Network load balancing on the front and database server clustering on the back and you real safety and stability right out of the box.
Of course it's not all that simple. Implementation details are wrapped in confusion, complexity, and aggravation. COM+ documentation is very intricate and, in my opinion lacking in step-by-step details. At least for now there seems to be a fair amount of lore handed down from developer to developer. Even that is cloaked is bounded by personal experience as full of ambiguity. So here is my short list of things that drive me nuts in a product set I love to implement.
#1: Why do I have to apply [AutoComplete] when I turn [JustInTimeActivation] on? I suspect it is nice to be selective as to which methods use JITA but the IDE auto-generates so much code now can't we get this one.
#2: COM+ is fast. REALLY FAST. By some accounts COM+ components are 30 times faster than plain old unmanaged code. So why is the reputation, and much of the documentation, about the performance costs? Like most things, done poorly it is slower, but done well, it rocks.
#3: Why do people try to apply stateful patterns to the COM environment? I have a mantra .. small, stateless, fast. Whenever I am designing parts for a Microsoft environment I want them to be as small as possible, each focused on accomplishing a single task. I don't hold state in the middle tier (it's fine in the client or the database) because I want to use pooling. And I want these parts to go in and out of memory as fast as I can, again to support pooling. If you try to do stateful things you will not get the benefits of Enterprise Services and you will forever chase performance, scalability, and concurrency. It can be done ... but it's just not as easy.
#4: If I have no impact on your approach other than this ... please ... Don't wait for the end of the project to consider security. My grandparents use to never lock their home. Today, I don't walk away from my keyboard without locking my computer. It's an evil world and we are responsible for the future safety of our users. Enterprise Services and COM+ provide for flowing Identity, access to the SecurityContext, and role-based security. Use them. Know who is doing what at all times and code for the "good" scenarios to the exclusion of all other paths.
#5: If software is a team sport (and I for one believe it is) then an enterprise architect is the coach. I'm not much for sports analogies but here it goes. Most teams have an offense and a defense. They perform different tasks, requiring different skills, and generally run counter to each other. Enterprise work requires Software and Hardware. Our job as architects is to leverage both, striking a balance as needed for the task at hand. It is as important to understand clustering and load-balancing as it is to know when a member variable is going to cause JITA to fail.

Spatially-Selective Sound Capture
by Jim Flanagan
James Flanagan has enjoyed two careers – in industry, and in academia. After 33 years with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Flanagan joined Rutgers University in 1990. At AT&T Flanagan was Director of Information Principles Research and had responsibilities for departments conducting research in digital communications, signal processing, robotics, linguistics, acoustics, and networked information systems. At Rutgers, Flanagan served dual roles as Vice President for Research and as Director of the Center for Advanced Information Processing (CAIP). In 2005 he retired as Board of Governors Professor Emeritus.
Flanagan's educational preparation includes the BSEE from Mississippi State University, which he returned to complete after service in the U.S. Army 1944-46, and the SM and ScD degrees in Electrical Engineering from M.I.T.
Flanagan's personal research has centered in voice communications, computer techniques and electro-acoustic systems. He has contributed to signal coding algorithms for telecommunications and voice-mail systems, and to evolving techniques for automatic speech synthesis and recognition. He originated auto-directive microphone arrays for teleconferencing, and pioneered the use of digital computers for acoustic signal processing.
Flanagan has published approximately 200 technical papers in scientific journals. He is author of the research text Speech Analysis, Synthesis and Perception (Springer Verlag), which has appeared in five printings and two editions, and has been translated into Russian. He holds over 50 U.S. patents in his specialty fields.
Flanagan has received scientific awards which include the U.S. National Medal of Science 1996 and the IEEE Medal of Honor 2005. He has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and to the National Academy of Sciences. He has been awarded Doctor Honoris Causa from the University of Paris-Sud and from the Polytechnic University of Madrid.
Abstract: Spatially-Selective Sound Capture
As high-speed communication becomes globally pervasive, activities such as corporate conferencing and Internet learning proliferate. Increasingly of interest is good-quality sound capture for meeting rooms, auditoria, and lecture halls. Speech interaction between remote groups, and lectures from multiple moving talkers, render tethered and encumbering body-worn or hand-held transducers inappropriate. Sound capture at a distance, with spatial resolution sufficient to separate competing sources (and perhaps provide perceptual advantages similar to those of human binaural localization and lateralization) is a central interest. This lecture reviews some of the issues in sound capture under degradations imposed by reverberation and noise interference. Major points include: location of sound sources; identification of signal character (speech, music, noise); and, selective capture of desired sources. Earlier work on auto-directive delay-sum beamforming for large arrays (400 electret microphones) and later experiments with time-reversal matched filtering are mentioned. Audio and video recordings illustrate results.
The presentation will be followed by a reception hosted by the AES Technical Council.

From the reviews:
"Martian Outpost is THE book to read if you're interested in the future of manned space exploration. It is certainly in my top three best books about Mars missions. … There's a lot of discovering to do in 'Martian Outpost' and if you plan to read only one book about Mars missions in your life, then I'd recommend this one." (Kadri Tinn, AstroMadness.com, November, 2013)
"The main areas treated here concern planning, mission architecture and design, landing, propulsion systems and mission hardware with a concentration on the NASA Ares I-Ares V system concepts. … useful to readers interested in space technology for its survey of planned spacecraft and missions for a trip to Mars and for its overview of some of the issues involved in setting up a Mars base. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers." (A. M. Strauss, Choice, Vol. 47 (5), January, 2010)
"Predicting the future is always a gamble. … With Erik Seedhouse's book, the planning and requirements for such a complex and difficult mission are laid out for all to see. … The book also covers the options for landing and ascent on Mars, and has quite detailed planning breakdowns for the mission timeline. … The book is a really easy read and should be an immediate purchase for anyone interested in how man will get to Mars." (Nick Howes, Astronomy Now, December, 2009)

Glaucoma Fellowship Opportunities At The Wilmer Institute
The fellowship program at the Glaucoma Center of Excellence, Wilmer Institute, has trained 50 fellows who occupy leadership positions as Directors of academic glaucoma services nationally and internationally, as well as clinicians in private practice throughout the United States. We annually accept two fellows for a one-year, intensive surgical fellowship stressing expertise in complex glaucoma problems and the development of independent clinical decision-making. Our fellows are encouraged to design the optimal learning situation during the year, selecting which faculty they wish to work with.
A second program for post-residency training is our multiple year Clinician--Scientist pathway intended for those seeking a full-time academic career. This can be combined with a fellowship or entered after glaucoma fellowship elsewhere. It carries a faculty appointment and 75% protected time for mentored training in either clinical or laboratory research.
One-Year Clinical Fellowship
Wilmer offers two clinical training fellowship positions over a one-year period focusing on the diagnosis and management of the glaucomas. The program allows a flexible plan for observing and participating directly in medical, laser and surgical glaucoma care with 6 full-time Wilmer faculty members, who perform more than 1,000 surgical procedures per year and see 12,000 outpatients. Two clinical fellows per year are chosen to assure maximal clinical and surgical experience. The latest in diagnostic equipment is used, including networked HFA2i perimeters, SD-OCT, HRT, and anterior segment OCT imaging. The full range of lectures, seminars, and conferences of the Wilmer Institute is available to the fellow, along with glaucoma-specific clinical and research discussion groups. These include a weekly "fellows conference" with informal discussion of individual cases with faculty, weekly "rounds" in which the clinical care of the most complex glaucoma patients is discussed and a bi-monthly journal club.
Wilmer fellows have an individual surgical experience that equals or exceeds any other glaucoma fellowship in number of full procedures and in its diversity, including trabeculectomy and its revisions, tube shunt surgery, phacoemulsification, ciliodestruction, Trabectome procedures, and examinations and surgery on children with glaucoma. In addition to working in parallel with each faculty member in the faculty outpatient practice, the fellow has an individual clinic at the Bayview satellite center, an established part of the Wilmer department 10 minutes from the main facility. The fellowship is accredited by the Residency Review Committee for certification.
While many past fellows have chosen to carry out clinical research projects during fellowship, this is not required. The fellow is not viewed as a service provider (physician extender) but a colleague in training who is a valued member of our team. We are open to flexible schedules that are designed by the fellow in consultation with the faculty allocating time among outpatient exams, surgery, and rotations with different faculty members.
Funding is provided at the PGY-5 level. Medical and other benefits are quite generous. Office space and travel to at least one meeting is provided for the fellow.
Faculty who participate in clinical training are:
Harry A. Quigley, MD, Program Director
David S. Friedman, MD, PhD
Henry D. Jampel, MD MHS
Pradeep Ramulu, MD PhD
Michael Boland, MD PhD
Derek Welsbie, MD PhD
Anya Trumler, MD
Ian Pitha, MD, PhD
The application deadline is September 15.
We participate in the matching program for glaucoma fellowships. Please refer to the San Francisco Match website to register for the match and read about the process for applying to Ophthalmology Fellowship Training. Once registered, you can view our program listing on the SFMatch directory website. To complete the application process, go to the website and follow the instructions at http://www.sfmatch.org/. For further information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Applicants will be selected and contacted for personal interviews at the Wilmer Glaucoma Center of Excellence, typically in late October.
Multiyear Research/Clinical Fellowship
This course of training is designed for those who wish to explore the possibility that they will develop new information about the causes, diagnosis, and treatments of glaucoma. Extensive training is undertaken in at least one area of research methodology. It is a multi-year program, between 2 and 4 years, often funded by an NIH K series (K08, K23, or K12) Clinician—Scientist grant (see Wilmer Clinician-Scientist training program). While the majority of time is spent in research training, fellows in this program develop advanced clinical skills in glaucoma management in their own, faculty level practice that begins after the first year. A clinical fellowship can be embedded in an extended research training environment for those who have not already finished fellowship. Typically, one clinician--scientist fellow per year will be chosen, leading to a program with preceptorship by a primary faculty mentor or mentor group, at least one of whom is a senior glaucomatologist. Other faculty mentors may be scientists within the Wilmer Institute or selected from appropriate departments of the Johns Hopkins Medical School and School of Public Health.
The subject areas for research include:
- Molecular biological studies of glaucoma pathogenesis: Using our Molecular Biology Facility, we are investigating ganglion cell gene expression in normal eyes and the changes induced by glaucoma and experimental optic nerve injury.
- Glaucoma epidemiology: We are conducting studies to improve screening for both angle-closure and open-angle glaucoma, assessing the incidence and prevalence of glaucoma in population-based samples, including work outside the United States, and studying the impact of glaucoma on patient function.
- Imaging the disc and nerve fiber layer: We have an ongoing program of study in imaging the iris, the choroid, and the disc and nerve fiber layer with several imaging technologies, including SDOCT, HRT, and anterior segment OCT.
- Neuroprotection: We are actively studying in vitro and animal models of glaucoma and optic nerve injury to identify and test approaches that protect ganglion cells from death by means other than lowering of eye pressure. These include gene therapy studies, along with pharmacological testing, including sustained release intravitreal drug delivery.
- Adherence to medical therapy: Studies are ongoing into how often patients fail to take their eyedrops and why, using electronic monitors and large claims databases. Interventions to improve adherence are being studied.
- Structure and function research: Investigations are being conducted into both imaging and visual field technologies and how they can better be utilized to monitor the presence and progressive worsening of glaucoma patients. Very large databases of visual field and imaging data are being studied to construct better paradigms related to management of glaucoma, outcomes assessment, risk assessment, and field progression.
- Functional effects of glaucoma damage: We are studying the similarity and differences among views of the effects of glaucoma that are gained by self-report, clinical testing, and actual measurements of the ability to perform normal life functions, such as reading, walking, and driving.
- Mechanisms of angle closure glaucoma: The participation of the dynamic behavior of the iris and choroid in angle closure disease is studied by clinical imaging and provocative test development, as well as epidemiological studies in China.
Faculty available to begin development of a mentored training program in the multiyear fellowship include:
Harry A. Quigley, MD — Program director, Pathogenesis, Neuroprotection, Imaging
David S. Friedman, MD, PhD — Program director, Epidemiology
Donald J. Zack, MD, PhD — Molecular biology, Neuroprotection
Henry D. Jampel, MD MHS — Clinical research

Sheila K. West, PhD — Epidemiology
Joanne Katz, ScD — Epidemiology
James M. Tielsch, PhD — Epidemiology
Robert Massof, PhD — Psychophysics
Derek Welsbie, MD PhD -- Neuroprotection
Funding for the multiyear fellowship is possible through a variety of mechanisms. Clinician-scientist awards (K08, K12, K23), and private foundation applications have been utilized, as has a Neurosciences training grant to the Wilmer Institute. Once an initial research plan is agreed upon, the faculty will help in the development and production of appropriate applications. Please refer to the section on Clinician-Scientist Training at the Wilmer Institute for further details of this program.

Brian Deese is slated to become OMB deputy director. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
Brian Deese, slated to serve as deputy director on the budget side of the Office of Management and Budget, faced a friendly confirmation hearing, with no Republican members of the Senate Homeland Security and Oversight Committee on hand to ask tough questions.
Deese, 35, has served the Obama administration in a variety of economic policy roles, most notably as a leader on the government task force that restructured and revived U.S. automakers General Motors and Chrysler. If confirmed, Deese will replace Heather Higginbottom, who left OMB to take a senior post in the State Department in February.
The hearing mostly focused on high level taxation and budget reform issues, but Deese indicated an interest in issues of government efficiency such as improper payments and improving the management of the federal real estate portfolio that are near and dear to Committee chairman Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.)
The OMB leadership for President Obama's second term is starting to take shape, with the recent confirmation of director Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the nomination of Deese to head the budget side, and the nomination of Georgetown law professor Howard Shelanski to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. The president has yet to name a replacement for Jeffrey Zients, who recently resigned as acting director and head of the management side of OMB.

Synthesis Theory
Have a linkage design challenge? We can help.
Contact us on this feedback form. We look forward to providing our MechGen synthesis software to simplify your linkage design process in SolidWorks.
Linkage Synthesis Theory
The mathematical synthesis of linkage movement provides a powerful tool for invention. However, linkage synthesis procedures can yield defective designs, because the specified task may not have a useful solution.
The search for successful tasks can be discouraging, particularly if the resulting linkages are too big, too small, or otherwise unsatisfactory. To address this problem, we are working to automate the search and evaluation process for four-bar linkage synthesis.
Here we present Mathematica notebooks that find defect-free four-bar linkage designs:
Five-Position Synthesis of a Four-bar Linkage
Here we show a four-bar linkage designed to guide the coupler through five required task positions.
Please download and try our updated Mathematica notebook: Five-Position Synthesis. It searches in the vicinity of the required task for sets of positions that yield defect-free four-bar linkages. It may download as textfile so remove the .txt extension, then it should be readable by Mathematica.
Here is video capture that shows the operation of this notebook.
If you have any problems or advice, please contact me.
Synthesis of a Constraint for an Existing RR Serial Chain
Synthesis of an RR Constraint
An important technique in kinematic synthesis is the design of an RR constraint that controls the movement of two joints of an existing serial chain. For a given RR serial chain, like OA shown above, we can specify its movement through five required task positions. This provides the information needed to design an RR constraint, GW above, that ensures the system moves through the required task positions.
This technique is called function generation in the kinematics synthesis literature, because the synthesized RR constraint maintains a specified relationship between the joint angles alpha and beta at joints O and A.
Select this link to download our Mathematica notebook: RR-Constraint Synthesis. It uses a given RR chain and the associated task to determine tolerance zones, where it searches for defect-free designs. As above, this file may download as text file so remove the .txt extension, then it should be readable by Mathematica. If you have any questions, please contact me.

We reiterate our Neutral recommendation on
Juniper Networks Inc.
) post the announcement of third-quarter 2013 results.
Why the Reiteration?
Although Juniper delivered better-than-expected third-quarter
results and the guidance was encouraging, we remain cautious
about the increasing competition, uncertain economic conditions
and constricted federal spending.
Nonetheless, Juniper's traction in the Software Defined
Networking (SDN) space is a major positive. Juniper is optimistic
about the SDN products and believes that the technology is
increasingly attracting customer attention. With gradual demand
growth, we believe Juniper is well positioned to generate steady
revenues from this area.
Juniper has been successful in developing collaborations with
global channel partners and has strategic reseller relationships
IBM Corp.
) and Nokia Siemens Networks. In addition to these two major
partnerships, Juniper has worked with more than 9,000 channel
partners to reach customers globally.
Moreover, the company has developed partnerships with market
leaders, such as Avaya Inc.,
Microsoft Corp.
) and
Symantec Corp.
). These associations will help in enhancing its networking
technology, which will ultimately help companies to transfer an
enormous amount of data through different networks.
The company has undertaken cost-cutting measures to revive its
bottom line. Central to its cost-cutting strategy is the
reduction in headcount. These initiatives will help the company
to improve operating performance, reduce operating expenses by
about $50.0 million and also save $50.0 million on costs related
to revenues, on an annualized basis. We believe that the layoffs
will greatly help Juniper to improve profitability.
However, the consolidation in the telecom market is a headwind
for the company. Considering Juniper's broad exposure to the
service provider market, the ongoing consolidations could
increase uncertainties and restrict its revenue growth in the
long term.
Moreover, to remain competitive, investments in newer and
innovative products will be the prime focus, which will keep
costs up. Hence, Juniper has to focus on market share growth to
counter margin contraction.
Currently, Juniper has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — A former high school teacher is claiming insanity as she faces trial on 16 counts of sexual battery involving students in southwest Ohio.
Thirty-three-year-old Stacy Schuler's attorneys filed a one-sentence motion this week in Warren County court in Lebanon stating that she is not guilty by reason of insanity.
The Middletown Journal reports that defense attorney Charlie Rittgers says the motion to change Schuler's plea reflects what he believes to be true.
County Prosecutor David Fornshell said today he thinks the plea change is interesting because Schuler earlier denied that the alleged offenses occurred.
Schuler resigned as health and gym teacher at Mason High School after her arrest this year. The sexual battery charges allegedly involve several teenage boys.
Schuler's trial is scheduled to start Aug. 8.
More to the story . . ..
Jeez oh man,..
She's got the values of a jackal and morals of a snake. She was serially preying on those young boys with a systemic precision of a polished predator.
Where I don't by the serial insanity plea a bit. But jeez whats clear here is does that unsavory whore ever have physiological issues.
In jury selection the prosecutor better hope for a degree of mothers as opposed to single men unless they want an acquittal or stalemate verdict,..
I purposely didn't directly use the terms of split verdict nor hung jury by name. As surely some would think / presume. That I was infusing insensitive pun fun or rueful chides. In an instance where humor most certainly doesn't apply.

Many customers ask how does H.264 compression work?
H.264 compression is used in video compression to save hard disk drive space on your recording device. Normal MJPEG compression will transmit all data that it sees on a image to be recorded as a file. The trees in the back ground, the fence, the road and so on, will be transmitted on MJPEG compression. H.264 compression on the other hand, will send you the first image with the trees, fence and road. Then no data will be transmitted if there is no new pixel changes on the image. When an object then move over the screen area, the H.264 compression protocol will only send the new pixel changes of the image that moved over the screen area. Thus the trees, fence and road will not be send again as their was no change in the image pixel. This H.264 compression save allot of recording space and also lower the Wi-Fi bandwidth usage. More security IP devices can be installed on one Wi-Fi network using compression with H.264 technology.

Glasgow-based oil worker world guga eating champ
- 30 December 2013
- From the section Highlands & Islands
A 33-year-old oil worker has been crowned the first World Guga Eating Champion.
Peter MacCritchie, who was born in Ness on Lewis and now lives in Glasgow, ate his portion of gannet chick and potatoes in three minutes 44 seconds.
Seven other people competed in Saturday's event held in Ness FC Social Club.
Guga, a delicacy on the Western Isles, has been described as tasting like salty goose and fishy beef.
About 2,000 of the young gannet chicks are taken from the tiny island of Sula Sgeir, about 40 miles (64km) north of Ness, each year.
Done in August, the harvest is Scotland's last surviving guga hunt. It has taken place for centuries.
Modern hunts are permitted under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.

[Note: This is a living document, we will update this constantly. -July 29, 2015]
Welcome to the OH Community!
Before you post we strongly urge you to look over our Terms of Service. We're part of a network of sites called the ModernMethod Blog Network that tries its very best to be open and inclusive to everyone, no matter who or where you are.
Basically, don't be a dick.
Guide for New Users:
It's strongly recommended that you make an intro thread in the Meet & Greet section. If you don't, we'll nag you mercilessly until you do. Tell us about yourself: your favorite video games, your hobbies, criminal record, STD test results, anything you think makes you a unique snowflake. This helps us get to know you and speeds your integration into the community. Unlike many other forums, we actually care about that sort of thing here. If you don't know what to write, take a look at some of the other intro threads to get an idea of what we're looking for in your introduction.
New users are subject to a moderation period. This is to help cut down on the amount of spammers and trolls sucking up the place. Your initial posts may go to a queue to await moderator approval, and Private Messaging will be disabled until you reach 10 posts. Keep in mind if you make edits to approved posts while you're still in the moderation period, your post will be sent back into the queue. You will also be branded with Reggie Fils-Aimeat, the patron saint of Destructoid Forum noobs. His hideous visage will disappear once you graduate from Fresh Meat status.
You want stinking badges? We have them! Badges act similar to Achievements or Trophies on the Forums. A complete list of all current badges and how to earn them can be found here. If you've met the requirements for a badge, post your evidence in the Badge Request thread. If you have any ideas for new badges, please share them in the Badge Ideas Thread. Keep in mind if the idea isn't related to Destructoid, the community, Dtoid-related memes, or video games, we probably aren't interested in making it a badge.
You'll notice some users have custom titles below their name. Another community member must suggest a title for you, these usually relate to Forum in-jokes. The longer you hang around and get to know the people here, the more likely it is someone will recommend a title for you. You may reserve the right to refuse any suggested titles if you so wish.
While you're just starting out treat this place like you would if you were a guest in someone else's house. Take some time to get the feel of the community and how it operates before you start tracking your muddy shoes all over. If you're confused, ask questions. If one of the longtime members calls you out on your behavior and tries to explain how things work around here, it's probably in your best interest to pay attention to them. Acting like a thin-skinned, egotistical blowhard right out of the gate won't win you any friends.
If you have an issue that requires the attention of a moderator, please use the Report Post feature. At the bottom of every post you'll see a small icon (the triangle with an exclamation point), click on this to send a message to the Mod team. This will notify us of any problems so we can address them in a timely fashion. If you need to contact the Mods before you are granted access to PMs, please use the Contact Us link at the bottom left of the Forums.
Your Forum Moderation team is Jon Bloodspray, Mr Andy Dixon, Nihil, panchromatic, and OpiumHerz. If you have any questions or concerns about the Forums, please contact one of us and we'll do our best to assist you.
Hugs & Kisses: The Mods

How would you move the titles (name, email, url) for comment fields to the right of the box instead of the left of it like they are currently on my blog: http://www.warriortom.com/cumberland-island-turkeys/#comment-16
I've got the comment_args working in the twenty_ten comments.php file (http://pastebin.com/M52qv7E6). They WERE on the right of the fields but I had to remove
array( 'fields' => apply_filters( 'comment_form_default_fields', from the code or else it broke the page when I added 'url' attribute to it.
So it should visually look like:
[_____] Name
[_____] Email
[_____] Website
[____comment box______]

Chris Adams in his paddock of award-winning fodder at Hindon.
Photo by Peter McIntosh.
When it comes to the secret to growing a prize-winning crop,
farming newcomer Chris Adams reckons it is all about
Mr Adams was the winner of an inaugural winter crop-growing
competition, organised by the Taieri Lions and Taieri Rotary
Clubs, with his fodder beet crop.
He had always wanted to be a farmer and so he sold his
plumbing business and bought a 220ha property at Hindon.
He listened to those who had knowledge, asked questions and
took heed of what he was told. A ''bit of Mother Nature''
also helped, he said.
A charity auction held in conjunction with the competition's
prizegiving - a fund-raiser for the Otago Rescue Helicopter
Trust and the Otago Community Hospice - raised $63,000.
Mr Adams said the competition was well run and the auction
and prizegiving was a ''fun night''. He also enjoyed a recent
field day which visited the winning crops to learn more.
About 120 properties, comprising a mix of dairy and sheep and
beef, entered brassica crops in the competition.
Competition committee member Ad Bekkers said there was very
good support for the event and it was hoped to hold it again
next year.

Volcanic rocks resembling Roman concrete explain record uplift
Research by Tiziana Vanorio finds that fiber-reinforced rocks beneat Italy's dormant Campi Flegrei supervolcano are similar to a wonder-material used by the ancients to construct enduring structures such as the Pantheon, and may lead to improved building materials.
Roman Builders May Have Copied Volcanic "Concrete"
The rock of the Campi Flegrei Caldera, west of Naples, Italy, has an intricate network of mineral fibers—just like the famed Roman concrete.
Roman Concrete Mimicked Resistant Volcanic Rock
Core samples of the pozzolana-rich layer that has been transformed into a fiber-reinforced concrete-like rock.
2015 NSF CAREER Award for Tiziana Vanorio
The National Science Foundation CAREER Award will allow professor Vanorio to advance her studies on the rock physics signatures of fluid-rock interactions, which are vital components in understanding the properties of volcanic rocks and concrete, pursuing carbon sequestration projects, and studying induced seismicity.

Windows Vista asks for confirmation every time you tweak any little thing. Sure, they're just trying to protect your system, but if you think you're responsible enough, Patrick will show you how to disable this feature.
Share (0)
[ Music ] ^M00:00:06 >> Welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Patrick Norton. Every time you tried to tweak your system or launch a new app, Vista asks you for confirmation. Sure, it's Microsoft's way of protecting you, but it's unbelievably annoying. It's called the User Account Control and thankfully, you can make it go away. Open the Control Panel and click User Accounts and Family Safety, then choose User Accounts and you'll see Turn User Account Control On or Off. Uncheck the box in the next screen and you're done with the incessant nagging, nagging, nagging for Vista. You are in control now. Just keep in mind this feature does serve a purpose. Vista allows different users to elevate their permissions on the system by accepting these prompts, but these also warn you in case some weird piece of nefarious software you downloaded is trying to do something without telling you. Now, this isn't any concern for you and you're dead tired of clicking continue add nauseum, disable it. Got a tip for us to pass along to the rest of the Tekzilla crew, e-mail us firstname.lastname@example.com and as always, tekzilla.com is the place to find more tips, tricks, product reviews and how-tos. ^M00:01:09

Should I just close the page and start it again?

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A federal judge has sentenced a Chilton
County man to 40 years in prison in a first-of-its-kind conviction under a federal law that targets the use of child pornography to break down a child's defenses to illegal sexual contact.
U.S. District Judge Keith Watkins imposed the sentence Wednesday on 37-year-old Jerry Alan Penton. Penton was convicted in December of possessing child pornography and violating a 2006 law against using child pornography to break down a child's defenses. The U.S. Justice Department said it was the first conviction under what's called the "anti-grooming law."
The Justice Department said the case was the result of a multiyear investigation by the FBI into allegations that Penton had molested two children, ages 6 and 8.

The Last of Us patch adds Interrogration multiplayer mode
Naughty Dog has issued a free title update for The Last of Us adding a new objective multiplayer mode, along with a swathe of fixes.
Interrogation Mode has both factions working to open the other's lock box, which can only be achieved by interrogating five members of the other team. Interrogations can be achieved with a shiv, or via a button prompt after downing a foe. Whichever side gets a lock box open first wins. You can learn more about the new mode in the video below.
The update also corrects some cutscene errors in the single-player campaign, and a number of multiplayer fixes, like an increase to revive distance, and changes to item cache locations. More complete patch notes are available on the PlayStation Blog.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

So what's Base 10? Well, it's got nothing to do with baseball, but math.
A total of 63 Aiken County School District teachers from grades K-2 attended a three-day workshop at USC Aiken last week – sharing numbers and operations math strategies related to the new Common Core academic standards.
Base 10 is the more formal description of ordinary number placement. Common Core was developed by states as the first-ever national set of standards. Roughly 47 states have adopted them and in 2014-15, new assessments called Smarter Balance will be given to students in grades 3 and above.
The opportunity at the workshop has been an amazing chance to learn more about the new standards, said Tamara Butler, a Hammond Hill Elementary School second-grade teacher.
"I'm a little apprehensive about some of the Smarter Balance standards," she said, "but it's exciting to come in and see and hear it, and put it into action. I'll be able to take it back to the classroom and implement it a little better."
The seminar was sponsored by the School District, the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center and the advocacy organization Public Education Partners. USCA and Aiken Technical College are also collaborating on the implementation of Common Core, said Gloria Allen, Ruth Patrick's coordinator for professional learning.
Common Core's goal is to graduate students who are career- or college-ready, she said. USCA's School of Education is preparing its students for the new standards.
"Aiken County has a unique way to supporting teachers district-wide with an emphasis on Common Core," Allen said. "Elisha Chryzan, an Aiken Tech math instructor, brought a perspective on placement values to help teachers."
Teams of teachers worked on presentations on specific standards and shared them to provide multiple resources.
"There's a lot of trial and error," said Kristal Hicks, a Clearwater Elementary School teacher. "But we're working with fellow colleagues, knowing we're not alone and learning what works and doesn't work. It's about thinking outside the box."
Senior writer Rob Novit is the Aiken Standard's education reporter and has been with the newspaper since September 2001. He is a native of Walterboro and majored in journalism at the University of Georgia.

The World Cup, formally known as the FIFA World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not contested because of the World War II.
During the 18 tournaments that have been held, seven nations have won the title. Brazil is the only team to have played in every tournament and have won the World Cup five times. Italy is the reigning champion and has won four titles, and Germany is next with three. The other former champions are Uruguay, the winner of the inaugural tournament, and Argentina, with two titles each, and England and France, with one title each.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, and it is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July, 2010 in South Africa. The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the culmination of a qualification process that began in August 2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams. As such, the number of the competing nations is equal to that of those who participated in the 2008 Summer Olympics.
This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by an African nation, after South Africa beat Morocco and Egypt in an all-African bidding process. This decision has left the Oceania Football Confederation as the only confederation yet to host the FIFA World Cup.
The most recent World Cup was held in Germany in 2006, and the 2014 World Cup will be held in Brazil.

Released: Dec 01st, 1998
Running Time: 101
Director: Paul Barresi
Companies: USMale, US Male
Distribution Companies: In-X-Cess
Cast: Tommy Cruise, Sebastian (II), Bobby Blake, Winston Love, Dino DiMarco, Dean Spencer, Paul Morgan, Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay Specialty
Although the emphasis here is on the plot, there is a sufficient amount of sex scenes, mostly interracial. Retailers will want to stock accordingly.
Gay fans of the Mafia and crime boss film genres will rejoice in The Underboss as it contains all of those smoldering masculine tough-guy lot elements intertwined with scenes of hot steamy man sex. Italian-lovers will be drooling over the likes of Sebastian and Dino DiMarco, while admirers of African-Americans will have prize-fighter Bobby Blake to fawn over. Lots of interracial encounters and all sorts of cameo appearances from both sides of the adult film industry are only two reasons to like this film. An interesting storyline and great direction from Barresi are two more. It's refreshing to see features like this one being produced, with the emphasis on plot and character development instead of just on the sex. This makes things even more erotic.
