Ok, the bitstreaming issue with ATI 5xxx's cards and some AVR's has been fixed in CAT 10.4.
A DIY EDID OVERRIDE THAT FIXES THE AMD HD-AUDIO BITSTREAMING BUG WITH 5.1 AVRs
The problem is with the 6LPCM descriptor in the audio block (0x0D) of the AVR EDID. Just change it to 0x0F (8LPCM). E.g.:
Capture the real-time EDID of the AVR with the TV connected (PC-AVR-TV), i. e. the merged EDID by the AVR from the TV EDID. The audio block is in the 'HKR,EDID_OVERRIDE,"1", ...' line. If needed use Extron EDID Manager to find it.
The problem with the driver reverting to 2 channel audio (or no audio) due to hotplug detection (switching inputs on TV or AVR, HTPC waking from sleep, or powering up order of components) can be fixed by following the procedure explained by Ryan L in this post.
Check also this possible solution first posted by idividebyzero:
Of course the Gefen HDMI Detective or Doctor HDMI devices will work, but are expensive.
Not a guide but here you'll find some information to try modding yourself. A straight procedure to merge the audio block of the AVR into the TV EDID is outlined.
There're many requests of EDID overrides to override the 2 channel limitation of TVs used to passthrough over S/PDIF, that is:
Please note that:
- S/PDIF has not enough bandwidth for uncompressed 6 channels LPCM. Thus the EDID limitation to 2 channels.
- Only passthrough of compressed audio (e. g. AC3, DTS) is possible, so it's for the application (Video Player setup, encoding, filtering, like with AC3Filter, or even DDL = Dolby Digital Live for games) to take control of how audio is sent through the HDMI link.
- NO EDID override can "fix" the bandwidth limitation, and it willl only be required if there is a bad EDID detection of DD or DTS capabilities, but never for the 2 channels limitation.
Everyone with a 3DTV + HDMI1.3 AVR: please check first this post by renethx.
In sum, 2 separate connections and NO EDID Override needed.
So, according to this case an EDID override can be used to pass full 3d through an HDMI1.3 AVR. Then a 3DTV and a 3D capable graphic card are all you really need to get 3D with an HTPC.
Without an EDID override solution would be, of course, 2 connections, one for video to the 3DTV, and one for audio to the HDMI1.3 AVR.
There's still an issue with EDIDs with no 8-LPCM SAD. So if your AVR is 5.1 only or the EDID lacks an 8-LPCM SAD an EDID override will be required to bitstream.
This is a general working setup for bitstreaming of HD audio now:
- Catalyst 10.4 or later with native ATI HDMI audio driver.
- NO EDID override
- PDVD 9/10, TMT3 > .170, WinDVD 2010 as commercial players, or latest versions of MPC HC and ffdshow for bitstreaming of HD audio.
Any other use/combination is still buggy (e.g. WMP/WMC + ffdshow).
If installation is messed up somehow, a clean install with minimum codecs (just ffdshow) + MPC HC or one of the commercial players is the best way of making sure that bitstreaming of HD audio works.
Then add other applications and test one by one so as to be able to successfully debug each particular issue.
However, EDID overrides are still needed for dealing with other EDID issues. As this first post has general information for installing/uninstalling, capturing and troubleshooting EDID overrides, and to not replicate the same information elsewhere, I will be using this post to address these. For general EDID overrides requests there's already a dedicated thread.
I will leave the rest of the information in this post, even the table of EDID overrides, as they can be used in fact for specific configurations. Only modified info in most cases is the TrueHD SAD, so they shouldn't affect video functionality.
the full REAL-TIME (no registry entries) 256-byte EDIDs are required (for Moninfo check that a 'HKR,EDID_OVERRIDE,"1", ...' line is present in the generated .inf file). There are 2 tools for capturing the full 256-byte EDID:
The EDID Override mod for solving the bitstreaming and/or video handshake issues on the 5xxxs is usually made up by a combination of the display device video data stored in its corresponding EDID + the audio descriptors of Onkyo TX-NR906 EDID that solves the bitstreaming issues + rest of information stored in the AVR/AVP EDID.
So, the 2 EDIDs (display device & AVR/AVP) are required to do the mod. Also
- Entech utility Moninfo. New version of Moninfo (126.96.36.1995) can now capture the full 256-byte EDID on 5xxx cards.
- GetEDID, kindly developed by AVSForum guru, vladd, who's also author of EDID Editor, an indispensable tool for doing these mods (EDID Editor is the only tool that I know that can calculate the EDID checksum ... double thanks, vladd, ). This utility works for all ATI cards. To download it and for a description of the utility and how to use it see this post by vladd.
WARNINGS: getEDID does not currently capture the REAL-TIME EDID, but the EDID of the active display device(s). Use preferably moninfo to capture the REAL TIME EDID.
If UAC is active Moninfo must be run as administrator.
Here's the procedure for connecting and capturing the full 256-byte EDID.
Display Device EDID Capture
- Connect the graphic card HDMI to your display device HDMI.
- IF using Moninfo THEN
Launch Moninfo
"[Real time ...]" entry on top left "Display IDs" window [Select]
File [Select]
Create INF [Select]
SAVE TO [Your display device name].inf. (e.g. Samsung LN-S4095D.inf)

Easy Method
- Go to Start
Computer [Right-click]
Properties [Select]
- Device Manager [Select]
Monitor ID [Righ-Click] (usually "Generic PnP Monitor")

Alternate method
If you have more than 1 monitor setup you most probably will have more than one "Generic PnP Monitor" device in the Monitors tab. Use this alternate procedure for these cases.
- Mouse on Desktop [Right-click]
Personalize [Select]
- Display [Select] (Select the display device corresponding to your AVR)
Change display settings [Select]
Screen of the display device to override [Select]
Advanced settings [Select]
Monitor Tab [Select]
Properties button [Select]
Driver tab [Select]
Update Driver button [Select]
- Follow step 3 from Easy Method above
DTS HD should bitstream first time on MPC-HC/ffdshow, TMT3 .170 or WinDVD2010. If you can't bitstream TrueHD then there's a problem with the EDID override.
- Check that the override is actually installed. Go to Device Manager->Monitors[Expand], and verify that description for the override is actually there.
- Don't forget to REBOOT after install.
- NEVER try to test bitstreaming first time on WMP or WMC! Use any of the commercial players or MPC-HC/ffdshow.
- Verify that to your AVR/AVP is set to "AMP" mode, i.e, to NO audio-passthrough of your display device. Also, if it is the case for your DENON AVR, try setting "2.3.4 Auto Surround Mode" to "OFF", but it doesn't work in all cases.
- Avoid using Haali Matroska Splitter if MPC-HC is your player (at least while testing bitstreaming first time).
- Avoid setting the "Enable GPU scaling" option in CCC as it affects detection of refresh rates.
- Go to Device Manager
- Monitors[Expand]
- Right-click on the override
- Select uninstall
- Tick on "Delete the driver software for this device"
- Reboot
After installing/uninstalling your EDID override make sure to reset the TV as well as the receiver so they can redo their handshake.
NOTE: On board menus of some AVRs (e.g. ONKYO) will not appear on resolutions less than 720P.
Make sure to delete all leftovers from the system:
- Start [Select]
- My Computer [right-click]
- Properties [Select]
- Advanced System Settings {Select]
- Environment Variables [Select]
- New [Select] (Under User variables ...)
- Set field "Variable name" to devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices
- Set field "Variable value" to 1.
- OK [Select]
- OK [Select]
- Now go to Device Manager (Start->Computer->Properties [right click])
- Menu option "View" [Select]
- Menu option "Show hidden devices" [Select]
- Monitors [Select]
- Uninstall any greyed-out display device.
- Tick on the option "Delete all driver files for this device" (if applicable)
As a general criterion to pick the right mod for you:
- Just base your selection on the display device. If you don't find your specific model, try one similar. If no similar device is available then try by general type (LCD, Plasma, DLP or projector). If no alternate option works for you (because of video issues) then ask for a custom mod.
- For the AVR/AVP part select according to brand, regardless of the specific model, as any mod will resolve the bitstreaming issue. You could even install a mod for your display device, or similar, and choose another AVR/AVP brand.

APPENDIX. THE PROBLEM WITH BITSTREAMING TrueHD & DTS HD over ATI 5xxx's prior to CAT 10.4 (Just for reference)
The bitstreaming issue with ATI 5xxxs cards was due to 192kHz audio sample rate being DISABLED in the EDIDs of DENON, SONY, and some ONKYO AVRs/AVPs (for an excellent introduction to the EDID standard read this page by Extron).
An AVR EDID is a 2 128-byte data blocks structure: a Base block and an Extension block. Within the Extension block an Audio Data block is located, made up of individual Short Audio Descriptors (SADs):
Audio Data block
So, for instance, here's the Audio Data block of my DENON 988:
Audio Data block
Audio Format #7 : MLP/Dolby TrueHD, 8-Channel
Audio Format #1 : LPCM, 8-Channel, 24-Bit, 20-Bit, 16-Bit
Sampling Frequency : 192 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
Audio Format #2 : DTS, 6-Channel, 1536 k Max bit rate
Sampling Frequency : 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz
Audio Format #3 : AC-3, 6-Channel, 640 k Max bit rate
Sampling Frequency : 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
Audio Format #4 : DTS-HD, 8-Channel
Sampling Frequency : 192 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz
Audio Format #5 : E-AC-3, 8-Channel
Sampling Frequency : 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz
Audio Format #6 : MLP/Dolby TrueHD, 6-Channel
Sampling Frequency : 192 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz
Sampling Frequency : 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz
Audio Format #8 : DSD, 6-Channel
Sampling Frequency : 44.1 kHz
The problem - NO 192khz sample rate - as you can see, is in SAD #7 (MLP/Dolby TrueHD, 8-Channel).
SONYs and the DENON 2808CI have the DTS_HD descriptor wrong too. Here's the 2808CI case:
Audio Format #5 : DTS-HD, 8-Channel
Sampling Frequency : 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz
Again, NO 192khz sample rate.
Here's how different AVR/AVP brands are so far affected (bad) or not affected (OK) by this problem:
TrueHD DTS HD DENON AVR 2808CI & SONYs bad bad All other DENONs, ONKYOs (*) TX-SR605, TX-SR606, TX-SR705, TX-SR805, TX-SR875 bad OK All other AVR/AVPs OK OK
Not all ONKYOs in a failing series exhibit the TrueHD problem.
So if you own a DENON (except the AVR 2808CI) or a failing ONKYO, checking DTS HD bitstreaming (with MPC-HC, TMT3 .170 or WinDVD2010, but not possible with PDVD9/10 though) is a first test to make sure that your installation is OK. You will then require an EDID override only for bitstreaming of TrueHD.
But if you own a possibly failing ONKYO, as not all ONKYOs in a "flawed" series exhibit the TrueHD problem, check that TrueHD works first.
So even if the issue is not ATI's, they could still produce a fix so that everyone can bitstream on the 5xxxs without needing an EDID override. So post a feedback to ask them for the fix, and even leave a link to this thread, by going to the following page:
Of course DENON and SONY should be contacted about this problem and also be referred to this thread, so that they fix it for future products, and release firmware updates ASAP for current AVRs/AVPs for which it can be applied.
With DENON, SONY, and some ONKYO AVRs/AVPs with NO override:
- You won't get the third option on audio settings of PDVD9.
- You'll get no TrueHD on MPC-HC/ffdshow, TMT3 .170 beta update or WinDVD2010.
For most cases the (*) mods will work, so if you don't find the specific mod for your HDTV/AVR combination, try these first.
Please understand that I'm currently the only one doing these mods so ask for a mod only if:
- Of course your AVR is a DENON, SONY or a failing ONKYO (see point 3).
- PDVD9 is your only player and you don't get the third option on PDVD9 audio settings.
- You can bitstream DTS HD (no TrueHD) on either MPC-HC, TMT3 .170 or WinDVD2010 without the override. If you can't there's an install problem to troubleshoot or that the AVR HDMI has to be set to "AMP" (no TV audio pass-through). So DO NOT ask for a mod if you use any of these players and you don't pass the DTS HD test first.
- You have video issues as your Display Device, or a similar Display Device (LCD, Plasma or Proj.) and AVR/AVP combination for your setup is not listed.
Problems requiring a custom mod are all video related as the audio block is the same in all mods. If video data from EDIDs on the list conflicts with your display device specs, then you could run into video issues such as:
- Not all resolutions and/or refresh rates available on CCC.
- Handshake issues (like losing detection of display device) when switching sources on either display device or AVR/AVP).
- Wrong color depth.

Tools for Higher Ed Institutions and Employers Will Help Recruitment, Retention, Engagement
PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by a mission to help students and employees to get the most value possible from their education and training, Fidelis today launched its enterprise Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for student-centered learning.
Informed by the latest in educational research on retention, engagement and learning, Fidelis' elegant set of tools delivers a well-integrated and comprehensive learning platform for all types of learning communities, including universities, companies, community colleges, military units, high schools, government and non-government organizations.
The technology offers a cohesive educational experience that is based on the personal goals and objectives set by individual students. It takes a 360-degree view of learning, offering online course delivery at its core and combining it with traditional coursework, mentorship, coaching, micro-credentialing through digital badges, and job placement.
An overview of the Fidelis learning platform is available here.
According to Gunnar Counselman, co-founder and CEO of Fidelis, "Integration is the key. Most teaching and learning organizations want to build more student-centered support systems for learning and to implement a badging system, but they are moving slowly because integrating the solutions is difficult. Our single platform brings together the necessary tools, so any learning community can offer high-quality, blended learning programs to its members."
"We have spent nearly two years laying the technical ground work and testing the platform," said Counselman. "After conducting pilots with schools like UCLA, Arizona State University, University of Texas, and University of Florida, our focus shifted from a partnership model to a licensing platform that can be made available to all students."
The Fidelis platform's design is driven by a set of beliefs about what makes education and training engaging and valuable for students. Among those are that learning is best when students:
Counselman, a former Marine Corps officer, served in Iraq, Bosnia, and the Horn of Africa before attending Harvard Business School. While at HBS, Gunnar performed initial research for the book "Disrupting Class" by Clay Christensen and Michael Horn. After HBS, Gunnar transitioned to the civilian world as a consultant with Bain and Company before starting Fidelis.
Anoop Jayadevan is co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Fidelis, where he leads product management and engineering. Jayadevan previously held product management and engineering roles at Google for eight years. He holds a B.Tech in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur, India and an MBA from Wharton.
About Fidelis: Headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, Fidelis is a venture-backed company supported by funding from Novak Biddle Venture Partners, American Public University System, Accel Partners, O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, Kapor Capital, and Ulu Ventures.

The sad story of the whooping cough epidemic that's hit California this year keeps getting sadder.
The state health department now says there have been nine death — all babies. All the infants were 2 months old or younger when they got sick. Eight were Hispanic.
Overall, more than 4,000 cases of whooping cough, or pertussis, have been reported this year. That's the most since nearly 5,000 cases were reported in 1955, and the year is far from over.
Originally published on Mon June 4, 2012 12:11 pm
Widespread vaccination has gone a long way toward curbing whooping cough, a highly contagious infection that can be especially dangerous for babies too young to be immunized.

The Best Bee Trap: $19.95 - Money Back Guarantee
Do you need to get rid of carpenter bees? Do you have a carpenter bee infestation or a carpenter bee problem? We can help you get rid of and control carpenter bee problems. The holes in the carpenter bee trap mimic the entrance of a carpenter bee nest. No bait or poison is needed. These carpenter bee traps have been extensively tested and work so well that we have a 100% money back guarantee. It is the carpenter bee trap that works! If it does not solve your carpenter bee problem, we will buy it back.
ARTICLE: The Best Bee Trap and Bee Butter Kill Carpenter Bees
INSTRUCTIONS: Carpenter Bee Trap Instructional Video
PATENT: Patent# 8375624
Simply screw an empty plastic bottle on the carpenter bee trap (a small hole in the bottom of the bottle will prevent it from filling with water). Place carpenter bee traps anywhere you see carpenter bees. The carpenter bee trap has a flat top and one flat side so it may be screwed to wood directly over the existing carpenter bee holes. You can also just hang the carpenter bee trap by the wire on top. If you wish to remove the wire, just push it out through the bottom of the carpenter bee trap. If you have a new structure and want to avoid a carpenter bee infestation, place the carpenter bee traps on corners and peaks of buildings for the best results. Carpenter bees really prefer the sunny side, so the carpenter bee traps will catch more carpenter bees on that side. In structures badly infested with carpenter bees, use our carpenter bee butter to wipe them out. Then, by having the carpenter bee traps around your building, you will prevent new carpenter bee infestations. You only need to empty a carpenter bee trap if the bottom bottle is full. The dead and buzzing carpenter bees are an attractant to other carpenter bees. To discard a full bottle, simply unscrew it an put on a cap. Replace it with another standard bottle. Although the carpenter bees are most active and do their breeding and fighting in the spring, carpenter bees sleep in holes year round. Your carpenter bee trap will be effective all through the warm season when carpenter bees are flying.

By Lauren Everitt
(Poets&Quants) -- When the letters of recommendation for Christopher arrived in the admissions office of a top-ranked business school, they were just about perfect.
The recommenders raved about the candidate's leadership abilities and team skills. They praised his initiative, curiosity and motivation. And they did so in unusually detailed anecdotes that allowed the applicant to come alive.
Problem was, his recommenders had never written those favorable words. Instead, the letters were drafted by the applicant himself.
Christopher, whose name has been changed to protect his privacy, makes no apologies for writing his own recommendations nor does he believe that a school can do much about it.
"Who's going to know?" Christopher recently graduated from one of the top three business schools in the U.S. "With the number of applications coming in, schools aren't going to compare writing styles between the recommendation letters and the applications. Obviously, if they did that, I wouldn't have been in business school."
Christopher's handiwork is not an isolated case. A recently published survey by the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants (AIGAC) found that 38% of applicants were asked to write their own recommendation letters. Most admission consultants, however, believe the number is much higher -- with as many as six out of 10 letters written by MBA applicants.
Still, even the survey results surprised many admission directors because they believed their schools were getting fairly candid, third party assessments of MBA candidates. "We were aware of the fact that some applicants are asked to write their own recommendations, but I wouldn't have guessed it would be that high," says Dawna Clarke, director of admissions at Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business. "I don't have a problem with a student sitting down and talking to a recommender, but I am trying to wrap my head around the authenticity of the recommendations now."
Authenticity, however, may be fairly elusive, according to several MBA applicants and admission consultants. "Business school applicants are often told by recommenders, 'You write it, and I'll sign it,'" concedes Adam Hoff, of Amerasia Consulting Group. "When I first got involved in the business school arena four years ago, I was stunned. I couldn't believe the number of people who were writing their own letters of recommendation and who then brought the letters back to a consultant to help them with it."
Christopher, who asked that his alma mater not be named because "if they found out, there would be a witch hunt," explains that his direct supervisor was not fluent in English. "He had no clue how to construct a recommendation letter," he says in defense of his actions. "Because of that, I wrote the letter in proper English and made it sound like I'm a good employee, which I am. I didn't embellish, and he was fine with it."
The employer signed off on the letter. But many recommendations don't even get this stamp of approval. Some MBAs write, sign, and send off their own references. "An MBA's motive is to get into school, and they don't want that left to someone's whimsical evaluation," Christopher explains. "If you messed up at work the day before, then it's not going to be good -- especially if they mail it themselves, and you don't know what they've said."
In general, of course, getting a strong letter in support of a candidate's MBA application is a highly collaborative process. "People don't like to write recommendations," says admissions consultant Sanford Kreisberg of HBSGuru.com. "It's kind of like jury duty. No one wants to do it. It's imposed on you. There is nothing in it for them. Collaboration is the standard."
The extent to which admission consultants advise their clients on recommendation letters may also surprise some school officials. Kreisberg says he pays as much attention to the quality of a recommendation letter as he does to the application essays.
"It's an open secret in the admissions world that a lot of candidates get to look at their recommendation letters beforehand," says Jeremy Shinewald, founder and president of mbaMission, an MBA admissions consulting firm. "We're not going to sit there and line edit something, but we will do a sanity check to make sure there's nothing in there that can be harmful."
While the AIGAC survey doesn't dig into how many students actually write their own letters, the percentage is likely high, believes Anna Ivey, founder of Anna Ivey Consulting and AIGAC president. Candidates are generally expected to request letters from their direct supervisors, but if the boss pushes back or refuses to write one, things can get tricky.
"Even applicants trying to act ethically find themselves in this bind," she says. Some schools suggest contacting an extracurricular supervisor in lieu of a reluctant boss. "So if they're leading a Boy Scout troop on the weekends, are they supposed to use their scout leader's recommendation instead?" Ivey asks. "Realistically, I don't think that's the answer."
Letter writing can be particularly problematic for non-U.S. candidates. The study, based on 377 responses from MBA applicants, found that international candidates are twice as likely to be asked to write their own letters. A whopping 61% of applicants in Japan, for example, said they were asked to draft their own letters of recommendation.
Even if international recommenders are fluent in English, the art of writing a solid recommendation letter can get lost in translation. Different cultures value different traits and this comes through in the letters, says Chioma Isiadinso, CEO of MBA consultancy Expartus and AIGAC board member. "American recommendations are a bit over the top -- everyone is brilliant, amazing, and incredible. German ones tend to be very direct, 'Hans did a good a job.'" However, she says most admissions teams can pick up on cultural nuances. And part of the responsibility falls on the applicants to educate their recommenders about each school's values and why they're a good fit.
The pressure on MBAs to write their own recommendation letters also varies by industry. Half of the MBA applicants with finance or accounting backgrounds were asked to write their own letters, compared with only 28% in technology. "You'd think it'd be an employer in a small rural town somewhere, but more often than not, it's the consultants at top-tier firms or bankers or private equity professionals -- it's part of the culture," says Isiadinso, who previously worked as an admissions official at Harvard Business School.
Men (43%) are also significantly more likely to be asked to draft their own recommendations than women (27%).
For the most part, business schools are reluctant to admit there's a problem. Some admissions professionals claim they didn't know it was happening, a position that admissions consultants find hard to believe. "That's pretty naïve," says Kreisberg.
Even among schools that acknowledge the issue, most would be hard-pressed to take action. "It definitely happens and the survey proves it," says Alex Kleiner, a second-year MBA student at Harvard Business School. "It's something I would never feel comfortable doing. But if you're an admissions director, I don't really know how you combat that. You could be more explicit and say, 'If we find out your application will be rejected automatically. Other than being really tough, I don't think you can stop it."
Many schools prefer to push the issue under the rug. This don't-ask-don't-tell approach applies to students, too. Christopher, the former MBA student, says the motivation for silence is obvious: "You could be tossed out for academic dishonesty. Once you're in, nobody cares."
However, consultants and some top B-schools are toying around with ideas to curb self-written recommendations. Stanford already makes it explicitly clear that "drafting or writing your own letter of reference, even if asked to do so by your recommender, is improper and a violation of the terms of the application process."
Admissions consultant Anna Ivey proposes a common reference form, which could significantly cut the workload for recommenders, making them less likely to push the letter back on MBAs. "Some recommenders have to write more words than the applicants' essays. If you multiply that times three, four, five, it's as if the recommender is applying to business school," she says. "That's asking too much."

Parma vs Siena Preview
Siena assistant manager Mario Palazzi would welcome an outbreak of tunnel vision among his players, as the Tuscans' bid for survival continues at Parma.
Siena are rock bottom of the Serie A standings after 11 games, but Serse Cosmi's men would have been sitting pretty in 13th place if not for a six-point punishment that came as a result of their involvement in the 'Calcioscommesse' match-fixing scandal.
Whether or not Siena's lowly status is an unfair reflection of their achievements so far, the hefty deduction dictated that this would be a season of struggle regardless, and Palazzi admits his team just have to get on with it.
Following a confidence-boosting 1-0 win over Genoa, Palazzi said: "Survival is an attainable target, and we're working towards it.
"We have even more confidence, even if there is a long road ahead of us.
"We have to stay focused without thinking about everybody else's results, otherwise we'll be struck with both euphoria and depression every Sunday.
"The most important thing remains our work ethic, and the road we are going down."
Albanian striker Erjon Bogdani has been a peripheral figure so far this season, but he is ready and willing to help drag Siena off the bottom of the table.
"I know what my role is in this squad, I can bring experience when it's needed," he said.
""I have always given my all in training so that I can be at the coach's disposition.
"Parma are a good team, but we can do well. A positive result would be vital to our league campaign."
Ze Eduardo will miss another three weeks of action after hurting his leg against Genoa, but his fellow South Americans Matias Martinez and Ribair Rodriguez are back in training after injury.
Parma will be on their guard after suffering a shock 2-0 defeat to struggling Pescara last time out, following a run of three straight wins that had boosted them into the top half.
Full-back Aleandro Rosi told La Repubblica: "Pescara showed us that there are no easy matches.
"Sure, some teams seem stronger than others, but on the pitch it's often a different story.
"On paper, we are better than Siena, but after what happened on Sunday we know it will not be easy.
"So we are preparing well for the game, we will take the bitterness from the Pescara game on to the field."

Bavaria led the signing of a corporate commitment to set ethics principles in motion
19 October 2009
Bogotá, October 15th, 2009 - Under the motto "Ethics, the brand of all our brands", the Third Corporate Ethics Forum was held yesterday in the Salitre installations of the Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá. The forum was organized by Bavaria, and companies and institutions from different sectors of the country took the opportunity to sign the Commitment to Set in Motion the Ethical Principles of Colombian Entrepreneurship.
The aim of the document is for companies to develop and implement several actions based on ethical standards, in a way that will show their stakeholders the importance of this initiative.
Luis Carlos Villegas, president of the ANDI stated: "It is very comforting for the association to confirm that the new global context, this declaration of ethical principles continues to be important (...). To Bavaria, once again my thanks for holding this third forum, which contributes to making Colombia a country with a formal, and from an ethical standpoint, exemplary standard of entrepreneurship".
Colombian Hugo Alberto Niño addressed the forum on the issue of the "Actuality of Entrepreneurial Ethics"; the North Americans Eduardo Paul Schmidt and Hans Picker also spoke at the forum, respectively, on the issues of "How to build an ethics code in a participative manner" and "Measurement of Ethical Values".
Fernando Jaramillo, vice-president of Corporate Affairs of Bavaria added: "Our goal with this forum was to acknowledge the value of ethics in the creation of leadership, stability, development, and trust in the future of the country and it's an invitation for all Colombian entrepreneurs to reinforce their commitment to reaching the highest ethical standards in their respective operations".
Aside from Bavaria, the companies adhering to the ethical commitment were: Alpina, Etb, Alpha Seguridad Privada, Ecopetrol, Servientrega, Alqueria, Universidad La Sabana, Obras Y Diseños S.A., Asg Asistencia Y Soporte Global, Brigard & Urrutia, Citibank, Acesco, Inversiones Mundial, Bancolombia, Organización Terpel, Cardenas Y Cardenas Abogados, Avianca, Prieto & Carrizosa, Almagran S.A., Almacenar S.A., Ccb, Casa Editorial El Tiempo, Natalia Echeverry - Consultor and Sigifredo Quintero Contreras - Consultor.
Bavaria S. A. is the largest beverage company in Colombia. Its brands Águila, Águila Light, Club Colombia, Cola & Pola, Costeña, Costeñita, Peroni, Pilsen, Póker, Redd's and Pony Malta are leaders in their respective beverage categories in Colombia.
