The headlines regularly pour in about active shooters and threats of violence at colleges across the nation, yet there are an abundance of campuses that continue to have no video surveillance protection due to budget constraints. To help these underfunded campuses, Video Management Software (VMS) developer Video Insight—a leading provider of video surveillance for education across the United States—has developed two programs: a 2014 monthly School Security Grant valued at $250,000 and an Education Pilot Program.
The $250,000 Video Insight School Security In-Kind Grant program awards security system hardware and software to a campus each month of 2014. Monroe Public Schools of Monroe, Michigan, was the January grant recipient and Harrison School District Two of Colorado Springs, Colorado, was recently announced as the February winner. The grant is open to both K-12 and higher education and Video Insight leadership is hoping more colleges and universities will apply for the remaining 10 grants.
"In this day and age of continued violent acts and threats on campuses, every college needs a video surveillance solution as part of an overall security plan," said Video Insight Chief Executive Officer Robert Shaw. "The safety of students and teachers should never be compromised because of budgetary constraints. This grant is a small gesture in helping to provide security to stressed and underfunded campuses, as well as to give back to these communities in need."
Studies have shown that surveillance systems reduce crime; therefore, it's imperative that campuses find a way to secure their students, staff, and property. Using video surveillance cameras, a VMS solution captures, manages, and stores video surveillance across a network —on a single or at multiple locations, a scenario often found in higher education. A robust VMS can integrate with campus maps and existing legacy systems such as Access Control and Active Directory.
The system Video Insight donates to grant winners monthly throughout 2014 has all of these features, as well as supporting hardware.
Each grant winner receives:
• VMS licenses
• 16 IP video surveillance cameras
• 1 video encoder which converts existing analog cameras into IP video
• 10 years of software upgrades
• 1 year of customer assurance
In addition to the School Security Grant, Video Insight provides educational organizations the opportunity to use VMS software and hardware for a trial period via a free Pilot Program. The Pilot Program offers use of video surveillance cameras, VMS licenses, and a video encoder for up to 180 days without any obligation. At the end of the evaluation period, participants have the option of purchasing the equipment (at a discounted price) or simply returning it without any obligation.
California's Saddleback College participated in a Video Insight Pilot Program for several months prior to purchasing a system for their expansive campus. Located in beautiful Mission Viejo, California, Saddleback College offers over 300 associate's degrees as well as academic and occupational certificates from 190 programs. With an enrollment of 40,000 students and 1,250 full and part-time faculty members, Saddleback has an annual operating budget of over $90 million. The vast campus has 54 building—encompassing 650,000 square feet—200 acres, and includes an athletic stadium, golf driving range, and a childcare center.
Saddleback College had no public safety video cameras and with growing enrollments and increasing acts of violence on college and school campuses throughout the nation, the administration and board made a commitment to deploy a video camera solution that would meet specific coverage goals: the Childcare Center, Community Education building, parking lots, ATM machines, and general coverage.
Obtaining video surveillance coverage for the Childcare Center, in particular, was a top priority in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy and other similar violent incidents, said Saddleback College Chief of Police Christopher Wilkinson.
Wilkinson said he was surprised to find he could actually test a system prior to purchasing it. He was specifically seeking a VMS that was compatible with access control, user friendly, expandable, and turnkey. After a positive experience with Video Insight via the free pilot program, Wilkinson recommended the Saddleback College administration purchase the solution for a campus-wide deployment.
The system is so easy-to-use—and deploy—that Wilkinson said he and campus IT managed the install. "It's been so officer friendly—I just sit at my desk, go on to the admin, go into the IP address, and do it myself," he said.
The Saddleback College Police Department monitors activity from a Video Wall consisting of two 52-inch monitors located in the Dispatch Center and a 52-inch monitor in the police officer's report-writing room. The officers also access camera feeds via smartphones and tablets with the Video Insight mobile app, VI Mobile.
"We have placed four cameras at our Community Education Building so strategically that we achieve 360 degrees of coverage, providing us full coverage of the busy intersection located there," said Chief Wilkinson. "On the first day of school we watched as 21 vehicles failed to stop at the posted stop sign at that location and were able to dispatch an officer to patrol that area and oversee traffic control."
Another incident involved a student with a mental health issue wandering the campus. Saddleback College police officers were able to bring up an image of the student and email it to the health center at the other end of campus. The health center was able to share the image with the campus medical staff which resulted in their locating the student and providing him much-needed assistance.
One of the best uses of the video system, said Chief Wilkinson, is the ability to incorporate speakers and audio, resulting in using the VMS and cameras as a public address system in emergency management to announce an active shooter, shelter in place, or weather threats, for example.
In addition to adding cameras throughout the campus for this deployment, Saddleback College has a sister school and a district office which will also undergo a VMS solution implementation in the future. "We are moving in a direction to provide a uniform solution for all of our locations and are excited to be doing so with Video Insight," said Chief Wilkinson.
Being able to "test drive" a video surveillance solution prior to committing funding helped Chief Wilkerson and Saddleback College minimize their risk in outfitting their campus. Video Insight hopes those colleges who apply for the School Security Grant will also request participation in the Pilot Program, as either can help provide an essential safety solution.

HUEYTOWN, Ala. (CBS42 COMMUNITY) – On Fat Tuesday, Hueytown High School's Mr. Christopher Reeves won $1,000 from CBS42's One Class at a Time grant program. This extra surprise added to the already eventful Mardi Gras celebration taking place in his exceptional education classroom.
"We've been planning this day for about two or three weeks. We cooked pancakes this morning and jambalaya this afternoon," Reeves said.
His students are taught important life skills with the goal that they can become more independent. Reeves says this extra grant money will help him produce more out-of-the-box ideas, and let his students experience more opportunities.
"Some of these kids never get to see outside where (they are from). Having CSB42 fund $1,000 will go a long way to help prepare for field trips," said Reeves.
One Class at a Time is generously sponsored by America's First Financial, Little Caesars, and Pepsi. To apply for the program, click here. Good luck!

GM trees (events) with identifier
Accessing GM tree by name is difficult because for most of them no such information is given. Only one GM tree event has an official Unique Identified (UID) while for some others identifying numbers of the developer are listed.
However for most of the GM trees released in the USA only sketchy information is available, so that we are forced to describe them with long titles including the tree species, the traits and the notifier.
For ease of searching, this page only includes GM tree events for which some kind of identifier is known, while the following page contains all GM tree events.

…"But the Word of God is not chained or imprisoned!" 2Tim. 2:9
There are many Lions fans that would love to be able to shout that word, "Victory!" today.
Who doesn't like being on a victorious team? Victory is something we all want to experience. In fact, I have never met anyone who would choose defeat over victory. Human nature strives for victory. The late Paul "Bear" Bryant, award-winning coach at the University of Alabama, said, "The price of victory is high but so are the rewards."
Are we willing to endure the training and the vigor's that will lead us to victory?
What is the greatest and most costly battle ever to take place? Who was the victor, and what was the reward?
The greatest battle ever fought was between good and evil. This great battle took place at Golgotha—also known as Mount Calvary—a rugged hill outside the walled city of Jerusalem.
Jesus Christ was Victor, paying the cost with His blood. The reward was the salvation of human souls.
Jesus had spent three years with 12 chosen men—His disciples. He had walked with them across the plains and through the valleys. He had sailed with them upon the waters. He'd sat with them on the mountains and taught them many things, including this: "The Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again" (Matthew 20:18-19).
This was the very purpose of Jesus' birth into our world. This is what we celebrate at Christmas. This is why the word Christmas starts with the word Christ.
Jesus gave his disciples a glimpse of what was to happen, but they did not comprehend that the Man they believed to be their King could ever fall into the brutal hands of mere men. They were focused on the Friend they called Master—the One who preached salvation and a coming kingdom, the One whom they believed to be the promised Messiah.
Jesus willingly died on the cross to identify with all those searching for truth. Are you among them? Have you heard what Jesus has said to you from the cross? You were there. I was there. Oh, it's true that we hadn't been born yet, but our sins were present that day. It wasn't just the soldiers, thieves, religious leaders, and passersby who took part in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Our sins also nailed Him to the tree.
When Jesus hung on the cross, a great unseen cosmic battle raged in the heavens. And in the end Christ triumphed over all the forces of evil and death and hell, giving us the greatest of all hope—eternal forgiveness.
Though the cross repels, it also attracts. It possesses a magnetic quality. Once you have been to the cross, you will never be the same. The greatest vision of sin is at the cross, where we also see the greatest vision of love.
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13).
This is what Christmas is all about.
If you hear Him speaking to you today, ask Him to forgive you.
Ask Him to come into your life and make you a brand new person.
The one He created you to be when He brought you into this world.
He will do it. He's just waiting for you. Ask Him now…
Brian Gosur
I just love Christmas and all the trimmings. The lights, smell of good food, and the presents under the tree. It's the season of joy, family and friends gathering together and just enjoying each other. That's what I love about this holiday season. It's a time of the year that you see things happen, that only happen around Christmastime.
But it's hard to think that there are a lot of people who don't have this kind of Christmas. I know that there are thousands of great organizations out there that are all about helping and giving to people like these, but I think that we have a tendency to really not see nor feel what this really means. It's one thing, to reach into my pocket, and throw in a couple of dollars into the kettle of the person, who's standing outside the store ringing that bell, but it's an entirely different thing when it means me having to get out of my comfort zone, and step into the world of one who is lacking or just all alone.
You see, that is really giving when I have to give of myself, and my time, for the sake of someone else's needs. Putting myself, my wants, my needs, and my desires all aside, for the opportunity to help lighten the load that someone else is carrying.
It's always easy to talk about doing this, but when it comes right down to really doing it, I mean getting down into someone else's world and feeling what they feel, and experiencing what they are experiencing, getting dirty and doing whatever I can to help them with that heavy load that they're carrying…well that's not always an easy jump to make.
You see I don't want to break out of my routine for the holidays. My family and I have always done things in a certain way each year, and I feel that I would be rocking the cart of our family tradition, if I invited them to our Christmas celebration. I mean they aren't really the kind of people that we hang around with, and what would my family think if I invited them over to our Christmas dinner?
I know that they don't have that much, and they are in a tough place financially right now, but it's kind of their own fault. I mean he hasn't always been good with his money and I think she might have some issues as well.
I am speaking fictitiously, but have you ever caught yourself thinking like that? I know that I have at times, and it's always just been an excuse that I use when I feel God prompting me to help someone out, or to step outside of my comfort area, and take care of a need that I know I can help out in.
Isn't that what Jesus did?
He stepped way out of His comfort area, and came down into this muck and dirty planet will call earth, and lived right here with us. He took on the kind of life that we live, except He was without sin.
1John 3:5 "You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin."
The dirt that we live in everyday had no effect on Him. At anytime He could have said, "I'm out of here, I don't want to do this anymore," but He didn't. He stayed… as a matter of fact He stayed all the way to the end, and when it came time for the bill to be paid, He paid it. You and I couldn't pay it, so He took the payment that we all had, and He paid it completely. He paid it with His own life, that's how much He loves you and me.
John 15:13 "No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends"…
I was having breakfast with four business associates of mine, the other day, and when the bill came around, one of the guys took the bill and paid for everyone's meal. That was a very nice think to do, and we all thanked him for that, but I could have paid for my own bill. I had the money, but in the case of my sins, I can't pay the price for that because I don't have what it takes. No one has the means to do that…the price is way to high.
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
God came into our world so that He could pay your way to come into His. That's His gift to you and me, and to all of humankind. He's just waiting for you to come and open the present that He has laid out for you today. Open it by asking Him to forgive you, and when you do that, he will not only have your free ticket to come and live with Him for all eternity, but He will also come and live inside of you right now, and start getting you ready to be with Him.

Perhaps you might know someone or you just might happen to maybe see the same person everyday as you commute back and forth to work. They might be in a situation that is not very good, but if God is telling you to stop and talk to them, or maybe go beyond that point that is going to put you out of your comfort area, remember what God did for you. Listen to what God is asking you to do, and help someone out.
Did you know that there are certain chemicals that are released in our bodies whenever we give or do acts of kindness towards others? Try it out for yourself. Help someone out with anything, it doesn't have to be something big, and see if you don't feel better after you're done. You have to have the right attitude, that you are doing this only because you can, and you are getting nothing in return…don't even tell anyone else about what you've done, because that means you would be getting the accolades from everyone you tell. God sees and He knows what you did.
Maybe you can only help them carry that heavy burden for just a short while, and maybe you can't really take it off of them or out-of-the-way, that's OK. Do what you can. Jesus said…
Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
You are never really a fully emotionally mature person, until you can give of yourself and of your time, and put yourself in the back burner of life, so that you can help someone else out, without ever asking or receiving anything in return…when you can do this, you have really done something.
Matthew 25:38-40 "When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' And the king will answer them, 'I tell you the truth, just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me."
My prayer for you this Christmas is that you will open God's gift to you, and then go out and help someone else open theirs.
I wish you and your families a very blessed and Merry Christmas.
May God bless you all.
Ah, the Christmas season. I love this time of year. My favorite time of year. I don't know what it is but have you noticed that this time of year always invokes different modes and feelings in people. It always seems to bring out the best in people, even if it's only one time of the year. They're more charitable, giving and helpful. More people are willing to open up the pocketbook and help out in things that they normally wouldn't do any other time of the year. I guess that's one reason why I love Christmas so much.
But why are people so bright cheerful, and giving at this time of year? Why right now? Our economy is not doing well. and people are struggling to make ends meet. It's just a tough time to be in the giving mood.
I saw a Christmas special the other night, and it was a special rebroadcast of "The Walton's". Remember that program? They had all the cast members, much older of course, and they were talking about making and doing the scenes from that special.
The time was during World War ll, and the Walton's had kind of adopted these two young British kids, who had been separated from their parents during the bombing by the Germans. They were staying with them for awhile, and it showed all the adjusting and making do with what they had, while they were there. The one thing that really grabbed me, was how they didn't hardly have anything, but they always had something to give to someone else, who had none. Isn't that what Christmas is all about? Giving and sharing with those that don't have anything?
I don't know if your grand-parents or aunts and uncles, who lived during the great depression, are still around, but you might find it very interesting to ask them to recall some of those times. Maybe share some of their stories with you at this Christmas time.
Those people really struggled financially. Many of them had to move in with other family members and everybody did their part. My wife and I had one of our children and their kids, move in with us for awhile. It was not easy and their big adjustments that had to be taken by all, but we did it to help each other out. Many people are having to do that today.
You see, when times get tough, the tough get going. Something magical happens. You can either go one of two ways. You either sink or swim, but everybody has to be on the same page. Coming together is the only way anyone will make it, and it is a time when you will learn a lot about yourself. All the talk won't be worth a hill of beans, it's the actions that will show what your really made of.
It wasn't just about meeting the physical needs of everyone, there were also feelings and emotions that were riding very high. Imagine having ten to twelve people living in a three bedroom house. Tight quarters and no place to go where you could be by yourself. Everyone had to carry around a lot more patience, understanding, and compassion. You had to learn that your needs were not always going to be first. Could we learn some of that today, and you know, we maybe heading for that again.
It's easy to be benevolent when I just have to do it for three or four weeks out of the year, but lets see how I do for the next three or four years. We just may be heading for that, and some people are already there now.
Maybe we can learn something more this Christmas then just having a little bit more Christmas cheer. I mean do I really need five TV's in my house? Is it really all that important for me to get the new IPad, when I already have two computers? There are people living on the street that don't know where their next meal will come from. Their children are cold and hungry. These are not drunks or drug addicts, they are people with college educations, that had very good jobs and made a very good living. It's all gone now. Can I give up something so I can help them?
There is a reason that Christmas is spelled with a capital C. It stands for Christ. His name is part of the word Christmas. He gave the ultimate sacrifice for you and for me. He had nothing. No job, no home, no gold and silver, no IPad's that He could sell and give, all He had was a perfect sinless life to offer for your ransom and mine.
You see, the reason you and I will taste death, is because of our sin. The penalty for that sin, is death. All of humanity was plunged into Satan's prison, because of the disobedience of our parents, Adam and Eve, that's why only a perfect unblemished life could be offered as a payment for our ransom.
One thing that Satan never thought would happen, is that God Himself, would come down to this murky sin filled planet, and pay that ransom, and win our freedom back from Satan.
God came down to this earth in the form of a man, and that man's name was Jesus Christ, who's birth we celebrate on Christmas. Maybe that's why people do good around Christmas because God initiated it by the giving of Himself for you and me.
I don't care what religion you are, how or even if you celebrate Christmas, weather you say, "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas", it doesn't change the facts of the real story of Christmas. It's not about a little baby in a manger, but a risen savior, who opened the way to God for you and me. All we have to do…is walk in it.
That's why Christmas is spelled with a capital C.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only son, that whosoever should believe in Him, would not perish, but have ever-lasting life." John 3:16

Welcome to Cruise Critic! If you'd like to participate on our forums by joining in the conversation, please Register Now! Be sure to visit our FAMOUS Roll Call forums, where you can meet other cruisers sailing with you and share a tour or shore excursion and SAVE MONEY!
I see the boards for St. Thomas, and St. Martin, but not for Bahamas - is that one listed somewhere?http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum...aysprune=&f=58 Bahamas board
I wanted to know if others have tried the dolphin encounter/shallow water interaction at either Blue Lagoon or Atlantis, and how they found it. We are cruising with Royal Caribbean in September, and are really interested in doing this. However, after talking to Blue Lagoon, they said we must book this excursion through RCI. Atlantis is quite a bit more expensive than Blue Lagoon, but I'd love to hear any thoughts anyone has!

An Efficient Linear MMSE Receiver for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Recent works on ad hoc network study have shown that achievable throughput can be made to scale linearly with the number of receive antennas even if the transmitter has only a single antenna. In this paper, the authors propose a non-parametric linear Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) receiver for achieving further gain in performance when the Channel State Information at Receiver (CSIR) of interferers is imperfect. The key feature to make their approach effective is to exploit the autocorrelation of the received signal. In fact, by incorporating the desired channel information on top of the observations including interference and noise only, the proposed method achieves large fraction of the optimal MMSE transmission capacity without transmission rate loss.

Sunshine Coast
There is good reason why this area is called the Sunshine Coast as it has some 2,400 hours of sun a year, making it sunnier and drier than other coastal areas. It is part of the mainland coast, stretching 180km (110 miles) along the northeast shores of the Strait of Georgia beneath the Coast Mountains, from Howe Sound to Desolation Sound.
However, this coast feels more like an island. Just a few miles, as the seagull flies, from downtown Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast can only be reached by boat or air. It is serviced by BC Ferries with a 40-minute trip from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. The trip from downtown Vancouver to Pender Harbour, which is mid-way up the Coast, only takes about 2 hours in total, but it delivers you to another world. The Coast is also connected to Vancouver Island via a 1 hour 15 minute BC Ferry cruise from Powell River on the upper Sunshine Coast to Comox.
Peace and quiet reign in secluded beaches, bays and fjords, and in lush forests of red cedar and Douglas fir. Wildlife is abundant, on land, in the air and in the water. Deer and raccoons, eagles and osprey, sea lions and seals abound. Fishing and shell fishing are excellent, with five species of salmon, as well as rainbow, steelhead, kokanee and cutthroat trout and clams, oysters and prawns.
Sakinaw Lake
Sakinaw Lake is the perfect lakefront eco-paradise get away, offering an endless variety of activities. Nestled in a beautiful mountain valley the properties located on the pristine waters of Sakinaw Lake are some of the most sought after lakefront in BC.

I just turned 24. I remember when I was 16 and I can't wait to turn 21. But now, I can't see myself where to go. I just feel like going with the flow. No sweat, no effort and no excitement.
Maybe there's really a certain point in our lives that we just want things to be easy, let whatever will happens happen even though we commit ourselves in doing the best we can to fulfill our dreams and to attain the plans we have in ourselves for the future.
This maybe the time for me to just setback and relax. Yet, very thankful that the 23 years of my life is worth remembering because of the happy memories and life lessons it has given me.
Thanks to my friends for the cake and the gift which is becoming a tradition in our barkada. Next stop, CJ! I love you guys!!!

What is an X Ray?
An x-ray is the result when a type of radiation is used to view inside of an object.Some radiation is able to pass through object. Radiation used in x-rays can go through less dense organs, tissue and clothing. The same radiation does not necessarily go through more dense objects such as bone. Once this radiation passes through the body it comes to meet various x-ray detectors like a film and or other such detectors that are connected to a computer for viewing on the monitor. This gives a picture or image of what is in the body showing the various densities of the various objects, tissues and bones accordingly. This gives physicians the ability to see objects that may be in the body that absorb more radiation such as foreign objects, bones and bone spurs easily pointing out any problem areas.
Types of Procedures
With advances in technology there are a large variety of types of procedures using x-ray's for results. Some of these procedures are things such as mammography, which is the use of radiation to detect any abnormalities with the breast potentially leading to cancer; CT scans which stands for computed tomography and creates images over the body and that could show anything unusual; x-ray radiography, which is intended for use of detecting pneumonia in the lungs, tumors, any orthopedic damages and even foreign objects; fluoroscopy, which is the in depth use of radiation to search for blocked arteries and to scout out the appropriate locations for stent surgery. These procedures all help physicians to determine if there is a danger within the patient's body that needs to be addressed immediately. These different types of procedures could help the physician in early detection of multiple types of cancer giving the patient the advantage of early detection.
Dangers and Advantages
While the advances in technology and science have offered individuals the ability to catch problems at onset and offer the possibility of treatment at early detection, there are some risks involved with often x-ray exposure. Though the radiation individuals are exposed to during the x-ray procedures is minimal, it can be harmful to living tissue. Some of the concerns about consistent exposure to radiation through x-rays is potential cancer development, in high doses potential cataracts in some individuals burns on the skin. The more that an individual is exposed to radiation through x-ray procedures the greater the potential risk of cancer. This is especially true for the very young and elderly and therefore radiation exposure through x-ray procedure should be kept to a minimum.
One of the advantages to small level exposure to radiation through x-ray is the ability for a professional to find serious problems that need immediate treatment early on. This could be the difference in saving a patient's life. Finding the problem as quickly as possible may be the way that your physician sets you on a path to good health. Leaving a potential problem hidden within could lead to serious health issues that may be irreparable after a time.
Being Safe
One way to ensure that you are not being over exposed to radiation through the use of x-ray procedures is by keeping track. Keep good medical records of when you have a procedure that will expose you to any kind of radiation. For individuals who are concerned with being over exposed, certainly speaking with the physician about any available alternative options is one way to avoid over exposure. Always follow the directions of the x-ray technician in charge of taking the x-rays. They will give you shields and protection devices to use during the procedures. Using these devices properly will reduce your risk of being overexposed to radiation unnecessarily. If you are not clear on how to do so, do not hesitate to ask them. If you are pregnant or think you could be pregnant, be sure to inform the technician immediately.
Concerns regarding overexposure to radiation for diagnosis purposes should always be discussed with your physician prior to any x-ray procedure. The physician will be able to inform you of the risks related to the procedure at hand and the advantages of moving forward with the procedure. This will better allow you to decide if the advantages out way any risks before you.

1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of computers, and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). Still more specifically, the present disclosure relates to context menus displayed on GUIs.
2. Description of the Related Art
A context menu is a pop-up menu that offers a listing of options (files, services, functions, etc.) that are related to a displayed element on a Graphical User Interface (GUI). A typical context menu 102 is shown in the GUI 104 depicted in
Note that, in the example depicted in
To address the above described issue, a computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for positioning a context menu on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) are presented. A cursor over a selected element on the GUI is clicked to display a context window. When scrolling to a chosen option within the context window occurs, the entire context menu moves, thus keeping the selected element aligned next to a scrolled-to option in the context window.
The above, as well as additional purposes, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed written description.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further purposes and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, where:
With reference now to
Computer 202 includes a processor unit 204 that is coupled to a system bus 206. Processor unit 204 may utilize one or more processors, each of which has one or more processor cores. A video adapter 208, which drives/supports a display 210, is also coupled to system bus 206. In one embodiment, a switch 207 couples the video adapter 208 to the system bus 206. Alternatively, the switch 207 may couple the video adapter 208 to the display 210. In either embodiment, the switch 207 is a switch, preferably mechanical, that allows the display 210 to be coupled to the system bus 206, and thus to be functional, only upon execution of instructions (e.g., Context Menu Logic—CML 248 described below) that perform the method described herein. This switching causes a substantive transformation of the computer 202 from a system in which pending steps and/or results of the herein described method are NOT displayed, into a system in which these results ARE displayed.
System bus 206 is coupled via a bus bridge 212 to an Input/Output (I/O) bus 214. An I/O interface 216 is coupled to I/O bus 214. I/O interface 216 affords communication with various I/O devices, including a keyboard 218, a mouse 220, a media tray 222 (which may include storage devices such as CD-ROM drives, multi-media interfaces, etc.), a printer 224, and (if a VHDL chip 237 is not utilized in a manner described below), USB port(s) 226. While the format of the ports connected to I/O interface 216 may be any known to those skilled in the art of computer architecture, in a preferred embodiment some or all of these ports (besides the USB ports 226 themselves) are Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports.
As depicted, computer 202 is able to communicate with a software deploying server 250 via a network 228. Communication between the computer 202 and network 228 is via a network interface 230. Network 228 may be an external network such as the Internet, or an internal network such as an Ethernet or a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
A hard drive interface 232 is also coupled to system bus 206. Hard drive interface 232 interfaces with a hard drive 234. In a preferred embodiment, hard drive 234 populates a system memory 236, which is also coupled to system bus 206. System memory is defined as a lowest level of volatile memory in computer 202. This volatile memory includes additional higher levels of volatile memory (not shown), including, but not limited to, cache memory, registers and buffers. Data that populates system memory 236 includes computer 202's operating system (OS) 238 and application programs 244.
OS 238 includes a shell 240, for providing transparent user access to resources such as application programs 244. Generally, shell 240 is a program that provides an interpreter and an interface between the user and the operating system. More specifically, shell 240 executes commands that are entered into a command line user interface or from a file. Thus, shell 240, also called a command processor, is generally the highest level of the operating system software hierarchy and serves as a command interpreter. The shell provides a system prompt, interprets commands entered by keyboard, mouse, or other user input media, and sends the interpreted command(s) to the appropriate lower levels of the operating system (e.g., a kernel 242) for processing. Note that while shell 240 is a text-based, line-oriented user interface, the present invention will equally well support other user interface modes, such as graphical, voice, gestural, etc.
As depicted, OS 238 also includes kernel 242, which includes lower levels of functionality for OS 238, including providing essential services required by other parts of OS 238 and application programs 244, including memory management, process and task management, disk management, and mouse and keyboard management.
Application programs 244 include a renderer, shown in exemplary manner as a browser 246. Browser 246 includes program modules and instructions enabling a World Wide Web (WWW) client (i.e., computer 202) to send and receive network messages to the Internet using HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) messaging, thus enabling communication with software deploying server 250 and other described computer systems.
Application programs 244 in computer 202's system memory (as well as software deploying server 250's system memory) also include a Context Menu Logic (CML) 248. CML 248 includes code for implementing the processes described below, including those described in
Also stored in system memory 236 is a VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) program 239. VHDL is an exemplary design-entry language for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), and other similar electronic devices. In one embodiment, execution of instructions from CML 248 causes VHDL program 239 to configure VHDL chip 237, which may be an FPGA, ASIC, etc. This programming of VHDL chip 237 causes a substantial transformation of the architecture of computer 202, wherein (assuming that USB port(s) 226 are NOT coupled to I/O interface 216) USB port(s) 226 are now selectively coupled to system bus 206 via VHDL chip 237.
In another embodiment of the present invention, execution of instructions from CML 248 results in a utilization of VHDL program 239 to program a VHDL emulation chip 251. VHDL emulation chip 251 may incorporate a similar architecture as described above for VHDL chip 237. Once CML 248 and VHDL program 239 program VHDL emulation chip 251, VHDL emulation chip 251 performs, as hardware, some or all functions described by one or more executions of some or all of the instructions found in CML 248. That is, the VHDL emulation chip 251 is a hardware emulation of some or all of the software instructions found in CML 248. In one embodiment, VHDL emulation chip 251 is a Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) that, once burned in accordance with instructions from CML 248 and VHDL program 239, is permanently transformed into a new circuitry that performs the functions of executed software instructions found in CML 248. Thus, VHDL emulation chip 251 is also properly viewed as a machine that is under the control of computer 202. Note that while VHDL emulation chip 251 is depicted as being a different entity that is separate from computer 202, in another embodiment VHDL emulation chip 251 may be an integral part of computer 202.
The hardware elements depicted in computer 202 are not intended to be exhaustive, but rather are representative to highlight essential components required by the present invention. For instance, computer 202 may include alternate memory storage devices such as magnetic cassettes, Digital Versatile Disks (DVDs), Bernoulli cartridges, and the like. These and other variations are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
With reference now to
Thus, the selected primary element 308 and newly scrolled-to options from the context menu 302 remain adjacent to one another (and optionally are both highlighted) while the context menu 302 moves upward or downward, depending on the direction of the user's scrolling operation. As depicted, there is no need to use the scroll bar 316 to change the view of the entire GUI 304, since the relevant selected primary element 308 ("XZASC.cpy") and the scrolled-to option 312 ("Joel Menu") remain next to each other. Note that it does not matter if the moving context menu 302 obscures other information on the GUI 304, or even if it partially leaves a current context viewing area for GUI 304, since the important elements (308 and 312) always remain visible and aligned next to one another.
In one embodiment of the present invention, both the pane 310 and the context menu 302 are repositioned when a user scrolls through the options shown in the context menu 302. Thus, the selected primary element 308 and the scrolled-to option 312 remain aligned next to one another by a combination of the repositioning of the pane menu 310 and the context menu 302 (such dual repositioning not shown in
Referring now to
If scrolling up or down through the context menu is detected through the receipt of a scrolling signal that indicates that a user is scrolling through options in the context menu (query block 412), the entire context menu is moved in the opposite direction, such that the highlighted selected primary element from the pane and a scrolled-to context menu option remain aligned next to one another while the context menu moves accordingly (block 414). If the user ultimately selects an option from the context menu to be executed such that the processor receives a selection signal for the current scrolled-to option (query block 416), that selected option is executed (block 418) in a normal manner by receiving and acting upon a selection signal for the selected context menu item ("selection option"). The process ends at terminator block 420.
It should be understood that at least some aspects of the present invention may alternatively be implemented in a computer-readable medium that contains a program product. Programs defining functions of the present invention can be delivered to a data storage system or a computer system via a variety of tangible signal-bearing media, which include, without limitation, non-writable storage media (e.g., CD-ROM), and writable storage media (e.g., hard disk drive, read/write CD ROM, optical media). It should be understood, therefore, that such storage media when encoded with computer readable instructions that direct method functions in the present invention, represent alternative embodiments of the present invention. Further, it is understood that the present invention may be implemented by a system having means in the form of hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware as described herein or their equivalent.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
The corresponding structures, materials, acts, and equivalents of all means or steps plus function elements in the claims below are intended to include any structure, material, or act for performing the function in combination with other claimed elements as specifically claimed. The description of the present invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the invention in the form disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and the practical application, and to enable others of ordinary skill in the art to understand the invention for various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
Note further that any methods described in the present disclosure may be implemented through the use of a VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) program and a VHDL chip. VHDL is an exemplary design-entry language for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), and other similar electronic devices. Thus, any software-implemented method described herein may be emulated by a hardware-based VHDL program, which is then applied to a VHDL chip, such as a FPGA. Applying the VHDL instructions to the VHDL chip not only causes a physical transformation of the VHDL chip, but such VHDL instruction application can also cause a specifically loaded VHDL chip to be newly coupled (physically and/or logically) to other hardware within a computer system, thus causing an additional physical transformation of the computer system.
Having thus described the invention of the present application in detail and by reference to illustrative embodiments thereof, it will be apparent that modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the invention defined in the appended claims.

'Once Upon a Time' Recap: Potions, Princes, and Payback
This week's episode of Once Upon a Time brought us many jaw-dropping moments. From Belle's thirst for adventure, to Rumple's plan to break the memory curse, fans were rewarded with a night of fairytale fun: despite Hook's wicked — and nearly deadly — plans in Storybrooke. Read on for all the spellbinding details from "The Outsider."
Fairytale Land Friends: We first see Belle sitting in her iconic blue dress, enjoying a book and a beer. (What a perfect way to spend an evening!) She's watching the men of the town get all riled up about some beast known as Yaoguai, and with the encouragement of Dreamy and the gift of fairy dust, Belle decides that it's time she stops just reading about adventures and actually takes part in one.
The fellas begin to make fun of Belle for the books she brought along on their journey. But little do they know, her books actually hold the key as to the whereabouts of the Yaoguai. She leads the boys astray to the lake and then takes off to the cave in the mountains where the monster is really hiding. When she approaches the cave, a huge fiery dog/lion type of thing charges after her, but a well-placed arrow scares the monster away from our dainty book lover. Who shot the arrow? Mulan!
Mulan has been tracking the Yaoguai for weeks but with Belle's help they were able to track it down once again. Belle set off alone this time and when the fiery beast charged towards her, she dowsed it with water and followed her instincts to sprinkle a little bit of fairy dust on it. Surprise! The Yaoguai was actually Prince Phillip cursed by Maleficent. Belle introduces Phillip to Mulan and sets the two of them off on another adventure without her. "I have another beast to face," she firmly reveals. After only two minutes on her own, Regina finds Belle and locks her away before she can return to her beloved beast. Belle screams at Regina, "I'll fight for him, I'll never stop fighting for him!"
Storybrooke Struggles: The episode opens with Rumple at the Storybrooke border ready to use Smee as a giunea pig to test the memory-wiping curse. Rumple discovers that if you pour a special potion on an object that is near and dear to the person's heart, then they will be free to come and go as they please with their memories enact. Rumple has enough potion left to enchant one item, and even though she is a bit bummed that she cannot come along, Belle is thrilled that Rumple has found a way to leave Storybrooke and find Bae.
The townspeople are all attending Archie's funeral and mourning the loss of their wise friend, but little do they know he's actually being questioned by a super sexy Hook. Henry is super depressed that his friend and psychiatrist is now gone, so Emma attempts to cheer him up by giving him Pongo. Now with four people and a dog under one small roof, Snow suggests that she and Charming start to look for a place of their own. While searching for their new dream house, Charming makes it clear that despite the ogres and a destroyed house, he'd rather return to Fairytale Land then stay in Storybrooke. "Isn't it worth it to fight for what we want?" He says. Snow sadly replies, "Unless we don't want the same thing…" (Noo! You two can't do this to us!)
Belle is walking in the Storybrooke library, and looking mighty proud of all the hard work she's put into the place. But who is waiting for her? Hook of course! Belle instantly recognizes the pirate as the man who broke into her cell in the Queen's dungeon, and knows that he is still bad news. ""You want to kill Rumplestiltskin!" she yells. Hook snarls, "Right now, I'll settle for you," Belle locks herself in the library elevator and then uses her cell phone (Hey! When did they get those?!) to call Rumple. Rumple rescues his lady, tells a skewed story as to why Hook wants to kill him, and returns to see that his store has been ransacked and the scarf he intended to enchant is now missing. Hook has guaranteed that Rumple is once again trapped in Storybrooke.
Belle once again uses her book-smarts and realizes that Hook arrived in town by using his ship. After finding the invisible vessel, Belle discovers and rescues Archie telling him to help Rumple find her on the ship. Belle begins to search for Rumple's scarf, but Hook stops her and tells her the whole story about how Rumple actually killed his wife Mila by ripping out her heart. "He ripped out her heart and crushed it in front of me! He'll do anything to hold onto power," Hook growls. But Belle's faith in her man is unwavering and she says that the knows that Rumple's heart is true.
Rumple comes aboard the ship and instantly starts whacking Hook with his cane. (The whole thing just looked kinda silly.) Belle then begs Rumple to stop before he kills the pirate yelling, "No, there's still good in you! I've seen it, I've always seen it. Show me I'm not wrong!" Rumple spares Hooks life — or should we say heart — and tells the captain to get on his ship and sail until he falls off the face of the earth. (Oooh, good one!)
The episode ends with a surprise visit from the real Archie (he's alive!) and the psychiatrist tells Emma that it was Cora who took him hostage and she was only posing as Regina. Uh-oh! Looks like Emma has a huge apology that she needs to give to one really pissed off mayor. At the town's border, Rumple and Belle are saying their sweet goodbyes as he crosses over the border with his enchanted scarf ready to find his son. Belle sweetly says that she will be waiting for him when he returns and just as they are about to share an oh-so sweet kiss, Hook shoots her and the librarian tumbles across the town line. She's fine but her memories are lost for good. Hook, quite pleased with himself scream, "No you finally know how it feels! Well go again crocodile do your worst!" Just as Rumple is about to blast Hook to pieces, a car speeds across the town line, hits Hook and crashes into a tree. Judging by the out-of-state plates, it's now clear that an outsider has arrived in Stroybrooke!

7. Remove the skirt and it's pretty...?
8. Fascinating that she actually pulled it off
9. Hul am I the only one who finds it fine?


text: Well I ain't never thought of that, color me stupid I was always afraid I'd rip the stem in half and without the proper tool I'd never get it right so I bought a Valve stem mounting tool aka Valve stem puller aka valve stem installer/remover They cost $10+ each. I can tell you thou, it does a flawless job every time. But you know even if I lost a stem or two you guys have pointed out that it would still be cheaper than running home. Guess I'll stick a couple in the truck and try the vise grips... Here's the tool: http://securestore.mototireusa.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=AC-ValveStem-Premium

VMware vSphere 5.x includes automated server workload balancing in the vSphere Enterprise and Enterprise+ premium suites via two feature sets: Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and Distributed Power Management (DPM). DRS and DPM together are intended to provide an automated method for balancing compute capacity and reducing energy consumption in a highly virtualized datacenter. It does this by addressing five key technical areas:
Automated Server Workload Balancing …
- Initial Workload Placement
- Constraint Correction
- Automated VM Load Balancing
- Power Management
- Cluster Maintenance
These capabilities are important to ensure that an organization is efficiently leveraging virtualization host capacity in a manner that provides greatest performance benefits while reducing ongoing operating costs. However, research has shown that 65% to 70% of organizations are running more than one hypervisor. As a result, it's necessary to provide these capabilities universally on every hypervisor platform in use – not on just the most expensive editions of a single hypervisor.
In this article, we'll briefly describe each of these key technical areas and contrast with how these same capabilities are delivered in Windows Server 2012, our FREE Hyper-V Server 2012 enterprise-grade bare-metal hypervisor, and System Center 2012 SP1 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) across multiple hypervisors in a heterogeneous Private Cloud.
