Keith McAuliff made our vacation week one of the most memorable we've ever had. EVER DETAIL WAS HANDLED WITH GREAT CARE AND PERFECTION! Our unit was bright, clean, and supplied with everything you'd need for a week at fabulous Cocoa Beach. We will definitely refer all friends visiting the area to rent from Keith. Loved The Sandcastle!

From the very beginning of our rental experience, Keith handled us with professionalism and warmth. He responded quickly to any inquiries and provided all the details we needed to make our final decision. And we are certainly happy with our decision to stay in this lovely condo! Clean, modern, comfortable, and so many extras! While the rest of my crew surfed, I made use out of the umbrella, beach bag, and beach towels that were provided. And since we came in at the end of the mauve stinger (jellyfish) invasion, we even found vinegar in the condo which came in handy for a few stings!! We also had a great view from the balcony to watch the ocean in the shade during the hottest parts of the day. Thank you for a much needed relaxing vacation!

Our stay at this condo was remarkable. The condo was clean and in great condition. The owners were very nice to work with and they went the extra step to ensure that we the condo met our expectations. We will be renting from them for our next stay in Florida and we are also recommending them to everyone. Thank you very much we had a wonderful experience!

This unit was more than we expected at a great price. The ground floor location was perfect for us traveling with small children.

Get location,great views,excellent weather, red tide kept us off the beach for a couple of days
* Keith, It was an incredibly wonderful week!! The condo is spectacular - just as advertised!! It has so much room, which was perfect with the baby and her 'stuff'. While we enjoyed(especially my son and daughter-in-law) visiting the pier, I was glad we weren't right by it. The beach in that area is lovely. I couldn't get over how wide and beautiful it is there. My biggest problem was the fact that we went to the Sunset one night for dinner and loved it so much we ended up going a few more times, so I had to leave way to food for waste. Thank you so much for help. I can see a tradition in the making. It is a perfect way to spend time with my son and family. You were very helpful and gracious! ~Linda
* Keith & Ann, We wrote in your book at the condo, but would like to Thank You again for the use your beautiful condo. It was very spacious & worked out very well for all of us. You really don't need anything while staying there except your own food. I even had to use the phone book to find a verizon wireless store, as my older son sat in the hot tub with his cell phone on his hip! Everyone had a great time! My other son, who was there to play baseball, well he won the tournament down there going undefeated. He said he did so well because of the good nights' sleep he got staying in the condo. (Who knows, if he becomes a famous baseball player, you can say he stayed in your condo when he was a teen - remember his name!) We looked at your pictures on the end table in the living room & you look like you have a lovely family. You are very nice & I'm so glad we went with your condo and would definetely stay there again next time. I want to thank you again for helping us out at the end of our stay, it was a blessing and we truly appreciated it. Our flight home was only delayed 45 minutes and we landed around 10:00 pm. I cleaned the condo before I left as best I could. I appreciate your hospitality and your concern for us while staying there. Have a great rest of the summer & I'm sure we'll be in touch again. Mary
* Dear Mr. McAuliff, The condo was great. We had a wonderful time. The weather could not be any more perfect. We appreciate that you allowed us to stay in your condo in such a short notice. We certainly will be looking for you again for our next mini vacation. Regards, Tam

Thank you !I am having trouble with other plugins that need to build their own forms. For some reason, the theme is stripping out the outlines around the boxes. I have tried going into the plugin itself and putting the outlines back in, but they seem to have something erasing them from existence.
I have tried disabling all of my plugins except the ones in question to no avail. After I checked the theme, I discovered that to be the problem.
You can view the problem here: http://spiritoftheblackhills.com/become-a-member">This problem is affecting a membership signup form as well as the form boxes for the shopping cart plugin. So if you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

I ordered 4 reams of paper and they deliver a display stand. Make me wait for refund but think i should re-order the goods I originally ordered. I went elsewhere but must wait another week for my money and their gross error.
I have used them before but never again ! How anyone can confuse 4 reams of paper with a plastic display stand beggars belief. No apology. Just order again if you want what you originally ordered.

On the other side of this spectrum are teams like Princeton and Hurricane, who - coincidentally - meet Friday night at Redskins Stadium.
Hurricane will come into the game at No. 17 in the playoff ratings, with Princeton at No. 19. Both teams are playoff worthy, but face significant challenges in making the 16-team field because of their schedules. On one hand, Hurricane has a tall order because it has remaining games against GW, Midland, Capital and Spring Valley (1-2), all of which figure to be playoff qualifiers.
Princeton being good - the Tigers were 2-8 in 2012 - is just an added bonus for Coach Jeremy Taylor and the Redskins. With the way its schedule shapes up, Friday night might essentially be a must-win situation for Hurricane.
Princeton is in less of a bind, but it's a bind nonetheless. The Tigers have beaten Shady Spring (0-3) and Class AA power Bluefield (1-1), but as far as the SSAC playoff rating formula goes, both wins are handicapped, in a way. Shady hasn't won a game this season, and since Princeton will receive a bonus point for every Class AAA team Shady beats, that amounts to, well, no bonus points at least so far.
Bluefield will gain the Tigers some bonus points, but as the Beavers are a Class AA team, they supplied Princeton with just nine base points as opposed to the 12 points Princeton earns from beating a Class AAA team.
Princeton's remaining games are a mixed bag. There are certain challenges, though the Tigers get Spring Valley and GW at home, and there are games in which Tahj Sho-Johnson and company will be heavily favored - Riverside (0-3), St. Albans (0-3) and Class AA James Monroe (0-2).
South Charleston not making the playoffs last year despite its 6-4 record shows that Princeton likely needs to win at least one of the aforementioned games against Hurricane, Spring Valley or GW to get in the field.
Still, it's entirely too early to make travel plans for late November. But autumn is approaching quickly, and the picture will get a little clearer each week.

For the first time since the weekly honor initially donned the pages of the Oxford EAGLE last season, there's a Co-Player of the Week.
Because one heroic play would not have been made possible without the other, both Alex Robles and Des Hervey have been named this week's Player of the Week.
Water Valley's kicker and cornerback/receiver came up big at the end of Friday's 23-20 victory over Nettleton.
With the game tied 20-20, Robles, recently called up to the varsity from the eighth grade team, booted a 25-yard field goal to go ahead.
Four plays later, Hervey swooped around the right side of Nettleton's protection and blocked what would have been a game-tying field goal to secure the Blue Devils' victory. (October 5, 2010, Page 8)

This is one thing I say all the time. I have a cousin I've told this to so many times, that when I say "Remember", he says, "yea, I know, Jesus loves me." He does, you know. Originally written, by me, December 13, 2002. Here are the words: There is someone who loves you more than anyone on earth He likes to see you happy He cries when you're hurt He won't make you promises that He won't keep those who follow Him He calls them His sheep No matter what you're going through remember Jesus loves you Remember Jesus loves you more than anyone ever can remember Jesus loves you won't you take His nail scarred hand He died for your sins on that cross that day now your debt is paid in full there was not other way No greater love will you ever come across remember Jesus loves you He proved how much at the cross Chorus x2 Thanks for listening.

Bloomberg is reporting that Apple has begun production of the iPad 3 for an expected March 2012 release.
[iPad 3] will sport a high-definition screen, run a faster processor and work with next-generation wireless networks, according to three people familiar with the product. [..] The tablet will use a quad-core chip, an enhancement that lets users jump more quickly between applications, two of the people said.
The March date is spot on, and the 2042x1536 Retina display screen is an easy bet at this point. Apple could go quad-core with the A6 chipset as competing tablets have recently done, but Apple's integrated hardware/software approach has thus far let them do more with less.
LTE still feels like a wildcard to me. While Verizon has better deployment and AT&T is starting to ramp up, Sprint and T-Mobile are behind and international carriers are hit and miss (and just like 3G GSM, frequencies are not always compatible).
The Retina display and A6 alone will make for a compelling upgrade, but for those in LTE areas, it could make it a no brainer.
Source: Bloomberg
Rumor or not but Verizon went higher in the last hour of trade...Guess they would indeed reap the benefits first and March is just weeks away. A bit strange that Bloomberg thinks Apple won't announce it during the "education event" next week but at the same time mentions the resolution is so high that it looks like printed material.
Those who read Steve's biography will remember the idea of replacing textbooks alltogether. It all makes sense now, lets see in six days.
Correction : Verizon was trading a bit lower all day and climbed back to level at yesterday's price in the last hour.
If this is true, I'll definitely be upgrading from the iPad 2... Using my iPad 2 for photography so the higher resolution display will allow me to leave the laptop at home on shoots.
I own a photography business and I used my iPad2 a lot for showing clients photos using the eye-fi card, doing invoices and keeping track of payments with invoice2go, accounting with ireconcile and scheduling appointments with the calendar synced with google calendar. It was an amazing tool for my business, until I got my Transformer Prime.
My prime does all of the above mentioned things (has all of the apps mentioned above too) and does so much more than the iPad can ever do. The keyboard dock let's me plug in external HDDs or a mouse and the full size SD card reader let's me transfer photos easily to the tablet.
Here's the best part.. Using a wireless mouse along with the keyboard dock and Splashtop HD, I was able to fully use photoshop while away from my home computer. Keyboard shortcuts worked flawlessly, the speed of splashtop made photoshop completely functional and practical and the mouse made it all come together giving it the feel I was used to on a desktop computer. Sure you can get splashtop on the ipad and use a bluetooth keyboard but without the mouse it just isn't the same.
I still have my iPad but my eyes have been opened to how closed off apple is about their products. Not only is the OS extremely closed source but the hardware is just as bad. You have to pay extra for an adapter to hook up a camera or SD card and it awkwardly sticks out from the bottom of the tablet. HDMI also doesn't work without buying some ugly attachment and it doesn't support the aspect ratio of EVERY HDTV that was ever made.
I would be very surprised if Apple doesn't add LTE ... every single competing tablet will be support LTE.
The iPad's battery is 6x bigger than the iPhone's, so the drain on battery life will be much smaller on the iPad.
They only reason I can see for LTE not being supported is if there is no chipset out there that supports the frequency bands needed to make a single "world" device. I think Apple would really like to stick with just two iPad flavours ... with and without cellular capability.
I need to filter the term "iPad 3" from my RSS feed until Apple actually releases something concrete.
It's amazing how much people apparently love Apple-related rumors. To the point of ad nauseam. LOL
I have an upgrade coming to me in April. So an iPad 3 while nice is not tops on my list. Now if the announce an iPhone5 at the same time with LTE onboard to. I'll be sold.

US 4641350 A Abstract A fingerprint identification system includes a scanner, a memory for storing data representative of fingerprints received from the scanner, means for comparing newly received data to reference data, and means for determining the degree of distortion and misregistration present in the new data relative to the reference data. The new data and the reference data are stored in arrays. The arrays are compared by a method which includes dividing the reference array into sub-arrays and comparing the elements of each sub-array with the elements of a number of sub-arrays of the new data array. This technique allows the reference array to be stretched and/or compressed to account for distortion and/or misregistration in the new data array.

Description This invention relates generally to identification systems and in particular to identification of individuals by comparison of fingerprint patterns. It has long been recognized that certain personal features are unique to an individual and can be used as a means of positive identification. One such feature that is frequently chosen for this purpose is the fingerprint. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,383,657; 3,527,535; 4,185,270 and 4,210,899 all describe identification systems which are based on fingerprint pattern recognition techniques. In general, techniques such as those described in the above-mentioned patents involve scanning a selected fingerprint pattern, converting the pattern information into an electrical signal, and storing or processing the information (e.g., by comparing it to prestored information) to effect an identification. Scanning is generally accomplished by opto-electronic means which avoids the use of inks or other undesirable materials. U.S. Pat. No. 3,527,535 to Monroe describes several methods using different types of glass prisms and illumination means to produce a visible or scannable fingerprint pattern. Other systems described in the literature have used an illuminated right angle prism and the technique of frustration of total internal reflection to produce a visible and scannable image. These systems depend for their success on the fact that the ridges of the skin on the finger contact a smooth, clean optical surface while the valleys do not. While it is seldom mentioned in the literature, the practical application of such an optical system requires a thorough cleaning after each use to remove the oils, water and dirt deposited on the surface by the finger. If these deposits are not removed, a residual image caused by them may be seen and subsequent operation of the system will be severely affected. Another problem often experienced in fingerprint recognition systems involves registration of a fingertip in the proper position for scanning. Some existing systems use a jig or guide in an attempt to position the finger in the same location and orientation on the scanner for each use. While this is generally a desirable feature, it cannot be relied on to produce re-registration of the fingerprint to the exact same location on the surface of the optical element of the scanner for every subsequent scan performed. Accordingly, some degree of misregistration usually occurs. In an image matching system, there will be some degree of correlation between similar, but not identical, images. Thus, a system which does not provide accurate registration capability will experience difficulty in distinguishing between similar images and misregistered identical images. Difficulties in identifying a known fingerprint pattern by comparison to a subsequently scanned identical pattern can also be caused by distortion. As used here, the term distortion refers to changes in the relative locations of ridges and valleys in a fingerprint pattern which can result from a number of causes. For example, the flesh beneath the skin is plastic and can be deformed with reasonable amounts of force or pressure. This property allows a relatively large area of a fingerprint pattern to be scanned since the fingertip is generally pressed against a flat optical element surface for scanning. However, a certain degree of relative distortion between fingerprint patterns scanned at different times can result when different amounts of pressure are applied in pressing the fingertip against the optical surface. Non-uniform pressure or force components acting on the fingertip which are not normal to the flat optical surface can also result in distortion being introduced. Considering the plastic nature of the flesh and skin surrounding the bone on the finger, it is easy to see that such forces can cause pattern displacements equal to several ridge-valley separations. Other factors, such as large weight gains or losses by the individual and large ambient temperature variations, have also been shown to produce relative distortions in fingerprint images. While the effects here are relatively small (generally on the order of less than 3 percent), they can be sufficient to adversely affect the accuracy of a comparison. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus which prevents deposition of dirt, oils and water on the surface of an optical element in a scanning device. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for comparing data arrays representative of fingerprint patterns which compensates for misregistration of the fingertip on the scanner. A further object of this invention is to provide a method and apparatus for comparing data arrays representative of fingerprint patterns which compensates for distortion, relative to an original scan pattern, introduced into fingerprint patterns produced by subsequent scans. These and other objects are attained in an apparatus for identifying fingerprint patterns comprising: an optoelectronic scanner for scanning fingerprint patterns; threshold circuits for reducing the electronic signal to a binary array of 1's and 0's; memory for storing the initial or reference data arrays; additional memory for storing subsequent or new scanned data arrays; means for comparing the reference and new data arrays; means for determining the degree of correlation between the reference and new data arrays; means for determining the degree of distortion between the reference and new data arrays; and means for producing an indication signal when the correlation value exceeds a pre-set threshold and when the distortion value is below a pre-set threshold. The reference data array will be referred to as an X new scan data array will be referred to as an M example to follow M>X and N>Y. A preferred method of comparing the M stored X X elements of an X sub-array of the M indicative of the degree of correlation existing between the corresponding elements; repeating the comparison step for a number of sub-arrays of elements of the M generated in these comparisons; repeating the comparison steps for each of the plurality of X correlation values identified to a predetermined threshold value to determine whether or not a sufficient correspondence exists to indicate a match. As will be described in more detail below, the X array in one embodiment of the invention is preferably divided into four sub-arrays (i.e., quadrants). Comparison of the elements of each sub-array with a number of sub-arrays of elements of the M compensation for both misregistration and distortion introduced when a scan is performed to generate the M The comparison of elements of the X sub-arrays is preferably performed by executing a logical "exclusive or" operation, using the elements of the X of the M counting the number of matches which occur when all elements of an X M the M correlation with the X of the sub-arrays having the highest correlation values from the location which would result from scanning a perfectly registered and undistorted fingerprint pattern provides a measure of the misregistration and relative distortion of the pattern being compared. This distortion measure can be used, along with the peak correlation values themselves, to determine if a match has occurred. Thus, an accurate comparison can be made even in the presence of misregistration and distortion. An especially preferred method involves summing the highest correlation values generated for each X total by the measure of relative distortion to produce a correlation value-to-distortion ratio, and comparing the ratio to a pre-determined threshold value. A preferred method of processing the correlation values as they are generated by the comparisons described above involves creation of a correlation array whose elements represent the degree of correlation existing between elements of an X each of the M compared. An advantageous embodiment of the present invention includes additional apparatus to position the fingertip over a viewing surface of an optical element of the scanning device. An especially advantageous embodiment includes provision of a transparent film over the viewing surface to prevent the fingertip from contacting the surface directly. The transparent film can be moved, or indexed, relative to the viewing surface, to provide a clean contact surface for the fingertip on subsequent scans. Indexing of the film preferably takes place automatically after a comparison is performed. The transparent film apparatus may include a length of clear, plastic film, a supply reel, a take-up reel and drive means for at least one of the two reels. Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a fingerprint identification system according to the present invention. FIG. 2a shows a schematic view, and FIG. 2b a sectional view, of the finger positioning and transparent film transport apparatus. FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the arrays generated by the scanner. FIGS. 4a-4d show the reference (X sub-arrays, each overlaying a larger sub-array of the M data array. FIGS. 5a-5c are generalized flow-chart diagrams of the comparison procedure. FIG. 1, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the fingerprint identification system, shows a system having a data input section 10 and a processing and control section 12. Input section 10 includes finger positioning means 14, transparent film transport 18, illumination and optical system 20, optional viewing system 22 and scanner 24. Finger positioning means 14 and transparent film transport 18 are discussed with reference to FIGS. 2a and 2b below. Illumination and optical system 20 provides a means for illuminating the viewing surface of an optical element, such as a prism, and a lens for relaying the image formed to scanner 24. Optical viewing system 22 can be added by placing a beam splitting mirror in the optical path between optical system 20 and scanner 24. A viewing system of this type is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,975,711. Scanner 24 is an opto-electronic device which scans the image formed by optical system 20 and converts the image into electrical signals. Scanner 24 is provided with circuitry which converts the analog image signal into a digital bit stream with one logic level representing a dark pixel and the other logic level representing a light pixel. Scanning is accomplished in a raster format so that the location of the data bits is representative of the location of the pixels on the finger. In this preferred embodiment, scanner 24 is a square array of 100 that produced commercially by RETICON. It should be noted that any scanning system may be employed which will convert the optical image into electrical signals. Optical system 20 is selected such that scanner 24 scans an area on the prism face of approximately 0.5.times5 inches. Thus, each pixel in the 100 fingerprint pattern of approximately 0.005.times005 inches. This resolution is more than sufficient for the highest fingerprint ridge density (80 lines per inch) found in the general population. Control section 12 includes data processor and control unit 26, keyboard and display unit 28, memory 30 and correlator 32. Data processor and control unit 26 is preferably a standard commercially available microprocessor, although a larger computer could be used on a dedicated or time-shared basis. Data processor 26 controls and receives data from scanner 24, formats and stores the data in memory 30 (which may be an integral part of processor 26), controls and processes the results from the comparison performed in correlator 32, and outputs control signals based on stored accept/reject criteria. Keyboard and optional display unit 28 provides means for an individual to initiate the identification process by entering an assigned identification number. This mechanism can be used to reduce processing time by identifying a reference file or array against which the newly entered data will be compared. Alternatively, each newly entered data array can be compared against all reference arrays stored in memory 30. Although data processor 26 could be used to compare newly input fingerprint data to stored reference data, the preferred embodiment uses special purpose digital circuits, which operate under the control of data processor 26, represented on the block diagram of FIG. 1 by correlator 32. As described below, the comparison process includes performing a logical "exclusive or" operation between elements of the arrays. This operation can be performed much faster in a special purpose circuit such as the TDC 1023J integrated circuit produced by TRW, Inc. Referring now to FIGS. 2a and 2b, there is illustrated an embodiment of finger positioning means 14 and transparent film transport 18. Finger positioning means 14 includes spring-loaded guides 34 and 35 and stop 36. Guides 34 and 35 are mechanically constrained and free to open and close while remaining perpendicular to the finger stop and parallel to one another. The finger guides are preferably mechanically coupled together so as to move equal amounts in opposite directions when forced apart by the placement of the finger. This is illustrated in FIG. 2a by the rigid attachment of toothed rack members 37 and 39 to guides 34 and 35, respectively. The teeth on rack members 37 and 39 coact with pinion gear 41 to cause equal and concurrent movement of the guides away from center line 43 when a finger is positioned between them. Springs, such as the one shown at 45, are provided to return guides 34 and 35 to their original positions. This arrangement for positioning a fingertip adjacent to optical element 38 has been found to provide a nominally repeatable registration of a finger on successive trials. Guides 34 and 35 act to center the finger above the prism surface and, thus, prevent the occurrence of very large registration errors. As will be shown below, exact re-registration of the finger is not required in the present invention, since registration errors are compensated for in the processing of the scan data. Transparent film transport 18 includes clear, plastic film 40, guide rollers 42, supply reel 44, take-up reel 46 and a drive mechanism (not shown) for one or both of the reels. Indexing of the film after each scan operation is controlled by the data processor and control unit 26. A preferred approach to controlling the amount of film transported on each indexing operation is through use of a stepping motor and a capstan drive. Film 40 is arranged to pass over viewing surface 48 of optical element 38 on which a fingertip is to be positioned for scanning. Guide rollers 42 support film 40 parallel to viewing surface 48 and prevent rubbing of the film on the edges of element 38. Supply reel 44 and take-up reel 46 provide means for indexing film 40 between each operation of the system by an amount slightly greater than the width of a finger. In operation, an individual places a finger between guides 34 and 35 (forcing them to open) and against stop 36. The finger is pressed against plastic film 40 which is moved into contact with viewing surface 48. Film 40 becomes, in effect, a new viewing surface for optical element 38 with light being transmitted through the plastic to be absorbed by the skin or reflected by the air-plastic interface, thus, forming an image of the fingerprint as before. The indices of refraction of the optical element material and plastic film 40 do not have to be matched and a great deal of freedom in choice of materials exists. Film 40 protects viewing surface 48 from contamination by oils, dirt and water present on the fingertip which might otherwise cause the system to err. Film 40 is indexed or moved by drive means, preferably under the control of data processor 26, after each use so that a clean surface is presented for each subsequent scan. When the system is initially set up, a reference scan is performed and an X the software is used to define the store locations, with each fingerprint file assigned an identification number so that the data may later be recalled for comparison with new scan data. For purposes which will become clear later, the stored X array is formed from a central sub-set of the total scan data. FIG. 3 shows in pictorial form the relationship of the X to the total scan data. The size of the X shown, for illustrative purposes, as 64 arrays can be used successfully, as can rectangular arrays. For processing purposes, the reference data is broken into sub-arrays, or quadrants, and use of a 64 32 fact that most computers are designed to process data in multiples of 8 bit bytes, and this organization simplifies the computer programming. When the reference file containing an X individual is established, the system is ready to be used for personal identification. The individual to be identified enters an ID number and positions a finger for scanning. Under the control of data processor 26, a "new" scan of the fingerprint is made and an M stored in memory 30. Again, for ease of computer program design, the total scan data is reduced to a central sub-set to form the M which, in this preferred method, comprises 96 For the comparison process, the X number of sub-arrays. Each sub-array is then compared to a corresponding sub-array of elements of the M "exclusive or" operations using, as inputs, each element of the X sub-array and a corresponding element of the M M in both dimensions to permit a search for a best match at many possible locations. As a result of the "exclusive or" operations, a count of the number of matching elements is produced. This count is called the correlation value. The reference sub-array is then "moved" on the M produces a second correlation value. The process is repeated for all possible locations of the X and produces a correlation sub-array of size (M-X+1) entire process is then repeated for each of the remaining X sub-arrays with the corresponding M The division of the X best possible match to be found for each sub-array of the X and a corresponding sub-array of the M influenced by the remaining elements in the arrays. This provides a degree of distortion compensation by, in effect, allowing the X be effectively stretched or compressed with respect to the M array. A division by a factor of 2 in each of the X and Y directions is the simplest possible case. However, division by a factor of 3, 4 or a greater number is possible. In practice, a factor of 2 has been proven to provide effective distortion compensation and to provide dramatic improvement in the accuracy of fingerprint comparisons. Using a factor of 3 or higher would provide even more precise distortion compensation, but at the expense of computer program complexity and slightly greater processing time. FIGS. 4a-4d shows a representations of the X in relation to the M M the X The sub-arrays of the M corresponding X denoted by numerals 60, 62, 64 and 66, respectively. The dashed lines represent the original boundaries of the undivided X As noted, a correlation value is generated for each comparison between an X respectively. These values are temporarily stored in correlation arrays. Thus, there will be four correlation arrays generated--one for each of the four X The next step in the processing is to perform a search through the correlation arrays for the location of the highest correlation value in each array. The highest possible value which could occur in each array is Z.sup.2, where the size of the corresponding reference sub-array is Z it would imply a perfect match between each element in the sub-array and the corresponding sub-array of the M the minimum possible value which could occur in the correlation array is zero. This is also highly improbable since it would imply a perfect mismatch. In both the X data array, there will probably be about as many ones as zeros. Thus, even for fingerprint patterns which are dissimilar, a correlation value will be produced which will be on the order of Z.sup.2 /2. For patterns which are similar, the highest correlation value in the correlation array will be between Z.sup.2 /2 and Z.sup.2. The greater the degree of similarity, the closer the highest correlation value will be to Z.sup.2. While these highest correlation values could be compared to respective threshold levels and a decision regarding identification made at this time, it is preferred to continue the processing as will now be described. If there were no registration errors between the reference data and the new scan data, the highest correlation value in each of the corresponding correlation sub-arrays would correspond to the values generated by the comparisons performed with the sub-arrays positioned as shown in FIGS. 4a-4d. The correlation sub-arrays are arranged so that the correlation values produced when the reference sub-arrays are in this "original" or zero registration error position lie in the geometric center of the correlation sub-array. As noted, it is almost impossible to position the finger in exactly the same place on subsequent scans. Thus, there will usually be some registration error. The displacement of the highest correlation value in the particular correlation array from the geometric center of the array is a measure of the registration error. The process of performing comparisons between sub-arrays of the reference data and sub-arrays of the new scan data in all possible positions of respective areas 60, 62, 64, and 66 permits accurate comparison of fingerprint patterns in the presence of registration errors. The M is intentionally made larger than the X amount sufficient to account for any registration errors resulting from imperfect operation of finger positioning means 14. If there are no relative distortions between the X array and the M values in each of the four correlation arrays will be displaced from the center position by the same amount and in the same direction. In practice, however, there will usually be distortions due to differences in finger pressure applied during the two scans, rotation of the finger due to finger guide imperfections, or other reasons. The four sub-array processing technique provides a degree of elasticity in comparing the reference data array and the new scan data array, permitting the match producing the highest correlation value to be identified, notwithstanding the presence of relative distortion. The degree to which the location of the highest correlation value in a correlation array departs from the average location of the highest correlation values in all four arrays is a measure of the relative distortion. This parameter can be useful in determining whether or not a new scan pattern matches with a stored reference pattern. In practice, a matching pattern will seldom exhibit more than one or two units of relative distortion. Patterns from different fingers may sometimes produce relatively large maximum correlation values but will also produce large distortion distance values. The preferred accept/reject decision criterion is based on a combination of the highest correlation values and the computed distortion distance. First, the highest correlation values from each correlation array are summed to produce a total. This peak correlation value is then compared to a predetermined threshold value as the first criterion for a successful match. The displacement of the peak value in each of the correlation arrays from the zero error position is, of course, a vector quantity. The average value of these four vectors is a vector denoting the average registration error between the reference data and the new data. The difference between the average registration vectors and each of the four correlation array vectors produces four distortion vectors. The sum of the magnitudes of these four distortion vectors will be referred to as the distortion distance. Since the distortion distance should not exceed a predetermined threshold value, this measure provides a second criterion for a successful match. These two criteria can be used in a sequential fashion to determine acceptance or rejection, or they may be combined by dividing the peak correlation value by the distortion distance and comparing this value to a predetermined threshold value. Care must be taken in the later case to recognize that the distortion distance could, on occasion, be zero, and the computer program designed to give a correct response. FIGS. 5a-5c show, in flow chart form, the program steps required to implement the present identification system. These flow charts are self-explanatory and, thus, will not be reviewed here in detail. However, prominent features of the system illustrated in the charts include: a keyboard for entry of a personal code; provision for entering new reference data arrays into memory; comparison of new scan data to reference data, including correction for registration and distortion errors; automatic indexing of the tape transport; and a number of prompting messages displayed to the operator. Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, variations will occur to those skilled in the art. For example, the number of sub-arrays into which the reference array is divided can vary. Moreover, the number of reference arrays stored can vary, with multiple comparisons being performed for each new data array entered. Furthermore, while the description above relates to the identification of a single fingerprint, identification of multiple fingers, presented in a sequential manner using a single scanner or in a parallel manner using multiple scanners, can be used to further enhance system performance. It is therefore intended that the spirit and scope of this invention be limited only by the terms of the appended claims. Patent Citations

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords meets with a constituent one-on-one at a Safeway in southern Arizona in May 2010, much like she was doing when she was shot on the morning of Jan. 8.
(JTA) — A U.S. Department of Homeland Security memo reportedly notes that Gabrielle Giffords is Jewish in describing the motives of the Arizona congresswoman's alleged assailant. The memo, obtained by Fox News Channel, says that Jared Lee Loughner mentioned American Renaissance, an extremist anti-immigrant group, in some of his own postings. "The group's ideology is anti-government, anti-immigration, anti-ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti-Semitic," says the memo sent to law enforcement, which also notes that Giffords, a Democrat, was the first Jewish congresswoman from Arizona. Loughner was arrested after Giffords and 19 others were shot Saturday at a meet-your-lawmaker event at a Tucson shopping mall. Six people were killed, including a 9-year-old girl and a federal judge, John Roll. Loughner was tackled and arrested. Giffords, a Democrat in her third term, is now in stable condition after being shot in the head. Loughner has been described by authorities as "unstable." He reportedly listed Mein Kampf and the "Communist Manifesto" as two of his favorite books on his MySpace page. Several hours before the shooting he reportedly left a "Goodbye friends" message, which also said, "Please don't be mad at me." Giffords was outside one of her signature "Congress at Your Corner" events outside a Safeway in Tucson, part of her congressional district, when the gunman approached and shot her. A Giffords staff member, Gabe Zimmerman, 30, the organizer of the event, was among the six casualties. The bullet went through the left side of her head, said Dr. Michael Lemole, a surgeon at the University Medical Center in Tucson. Giffords was elected to Congress in the Democratic sweep in 2006. She made her Jewish identity part of her campaign. "If you want something done, your best bet is to ask a Jewish woman to do it," Giffords, a former state senator, said at the time. "Jewish women — by our tradition and by the way we were raised — have an ability to cut through all the reasons why something should, shouldn't or can't be done, and pull people together to be successful." Giffords, 40, was raised by a Christian Scientist mother and Jewish father. She decided she was Jewish following a 2001 visit to Israel. Giffords fought a hard re-election battle last year against the national anti-incumbent, anti-Democratic mood. She tacked to the right of her party on immigration, saying border security was of primary consideration. The election was called in her favor weeks after the vote. The National Jewish Democratic Council suggested that the heated rhetoric of the last year contributed to the climate that led to the attack. "One suspect, now in custody, may be directly responsible for this crime," the group said in a statement. "But it is fair to say — in today's political climate, and given today's political rhetoric — that many have contributed to the building levels of vitriol in our political discourse that have surely contributed to the atmosphere in which this event transpired."

Agritox 50 is a selective weed killer used in Grassland. It will control weeds such as Nettles, Buttercup, Poppy, Thistles and a wide range of perennial weeds. It can be used on established grassland and leys over one year old.
Although the active ingredient MCPA is one of the oldest on the market, it still delivers great results against tough grassland weeds. If you want to increase the weeds which Agritox will control, mix with Deptiox 10L. This will then control Ragwort, Large Docks & Soft Rush.
Agritox 50 is suited to use in areas where you have a large area of the same weed, i.e. 5 acres of grassland infested with Thistles.
Keep Livestock out of treated areas for 10-14 days, or until poisonous weeds such as Ragwort have decomposed.
Agritox is particularly good on Creeping & Spear Thistles
Our Recommendation
For Ragwort control mix in with 3L/ha Deptiox 10L
Mix in Blue Dye to ensure no areas are missed
Agritox is only approved for use through a Tractor or ATV Sprayer. For Knapsack use, try an alternative product called Broadshot 1L

NBA, players differ on use, quality of replacement referees |
Story Highlights
NBA says replacement officials will perform well if they are needed this seasonDerek Fisher, head of players' association, says lack of top refs is "unacceptable"NBA and current referees have failed to reach agreement on a new contract |
NEW YORK (AP) -- The NBA's president of basketball operations is confident replacement officials would perform well if they are needed when games begin. The players aren't so sure. The NBA and its referees union have failed to reach an agreement on a new contract, so the league will begin training replacements this week. Without a new deal soon, those replacements would be used in games starting Oct. 1. The officiating was criticized during the last lockout in 1995, but Joel Litvin said Tuesday it will be better this time because the replacements are from the WNBA and NBA Development League and familiar with the NBA program. "These referees are sort of part of the extended family, which is what makes it different from '95. The vast majority are either D-League referees, they're WNBA referees, they've been to our summer leagues and been trained by our managers," Litvin said. "They've been to our tryouts. "So unlike in '95, when we were selecting more or less strangers to be replacements, these are people that we know and have been working with for several years, which is a reason why we feel pretty good about how they will perform when they're on the floor." But Lakers guard Derek Fisher, president of the players' association, said the NBA's referees are the best in the world and joined the union's executive committee in unanimously endorsing a quick resolution, saying not having them on the floor is "unacceptable." "Players throughout the league are concerned that the use of replacement referees could compromise the integrity of our games," Fisher said in a statement released by the players' association the day before they were scheduled to meet again with league officials for negotiations toward a new collective bargaining agreement. "Our fans deserve the best product that we can put on the court and that includes having the best referees. Anything less is unacceptable to our union and our members." However, the league and the referees' union are still far apart on proposals involving changes to the referees' pension and severance packages, as well as a plan to develop younger officials. No further talks are scheduled after they broke down last week. "Our preference is always to have our regular referees on the floor," Litvin said. "They're the best in the world. So whether that happens remains to be seen." Training camp opens Thursday, and the league hopes to emerge with 50-60 officials to comprise the replacement roster. Most -- perhaps all -- will come from within leagues the NBA oversees, a key difference from the heavily criticized officiating during the previous lockout. Officials from the CBA were used 14 years ago, so the NBA had no control over their training. Plus, early season games were officiated by two-person crews, as opposed to the three that have long been in place. Litvin also points out that the game has changed from the physical style that ruled in the mid-1990s. That, combined with the advances the league has made in the observation of officials, has Litvin believing the quality of play won't suffer this time. "We're confident that we will pretty quickly be able to identify any referees who we don't think can perform this job, and likewise we'll pretty quickly identify those that are the stronger ones and we will schedule those referees the most," Litvin said. "So I guess for those reasons, we don't expect -- we don't view this as a situation that will be like '95." Nor is Litvin concerned with using officials from the WNBA, whose athletes are smaller and not as athletic as NBA players. He said many also referee D-League or summer league games and the rules interpretations are similar. The league has had some success with replacement officials. There are currently 17 on the roster, including recent NBA finals referees Joe Crawford, Danny Crawford and Ken Mauer, who began their careers as replacements during work stoppages. The NBA also confirmed that Robbie Robinson and Micheal Henderson, former NBA refs who were fired by the league, are among those expected at camp. League officials have taken great steps to praise the work of their officials, particularly since the betting scandal involving former referee Tim Donaghy that brought their profession under scrutiny, and won't pretend the replacements can truly take their place. "We're not telling anyone that our referee staff are anything other than the 60 best referees in the world. They still are," Litvin said. "No one here is saying that the replacement referees will be as good as our 60 referees, because they won't be. But they're pretty close to being the next best 60 in the world."

Results of survey asking executives when was the last time they had changed their sales-compensation plan.
If you answered "annually," you're in good company. About 60% of the 172 small-company executives we surveyed reported they'd reworked their sales-compensation scheme in the last six months to a year -- often to redirect their salespeople's efforts. At the other extreme, nearly one in 10 had never changed plans.
Note: Responses don't add up to 100% because of rounding.

Subnet Mask -- A 32-bit number used to distinguish the network and host portions of an IP address. Subnet or Subnetwork -- A smaller network created by dividing a larger network into equal parts. Subnet Mask The second item, which is required for TCP/IP to work, is the subnet mask. The subnet mask is used by the TCP/IP protocol to determine whether a host is on the local subnet or on a remote network. In TCP/IP, the parts of the IP address that are used as the network and host addresses are not fixed, so the network and host addresses above cannot be determined unless you have more information. This information is supplied in another 32-bit number called a subnet mask. In this example, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. It is not obvious what this number means unless you know that 255 in binary notation equals 11111111; so, the subnet mask is: 11111111.11111111.11111111.0000000 Lining up the IP address and the subnet mask together, the network and host portions of the address can be separated: 11000000.10101000.01111011.10000100 -- IP address (192.168.123.132) 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 -- Subnet mask (255.255.255.0) The first 24 bits (the number of ones in the subnet mask) are identified as the network address, with the last 8 bits (the number of remaining zeros in the subnet mask) identified as the host address. This gives you the following: 11000000.10101000.01111011.00000000 -- Network address (192.168.123.0) 00000000.00000000.00000000.10000100 -- Host address (000.000.000.132) So now you know, for this example using a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, that the network ID is 192.168.123.0, and the host address is 0.0.0.132. When a packet arrives on the 192.168.123.0 subnet (from the local subnet or a remote network), and it has a destination address of 192.168.123.132, your computer will receive it from the network and process it. Almost all decimal subnet masks convert to binary numbers that are all ones on the left and all zeros on the right. Some other common subnet masks are: Decimal Binary 255.255.255.192 1111111.11111111.1111111.11000000 255.255.255.224 1111111.11111111.1111111.11100000 Internet RFC 1878 (available from http://ds.internic.net) describes the valid subnets and subnet masks that can be used on TCP/IP networks. Subnetting A Class A, B, or C TCP/IP network can be further divided, or subnetted, by a system administrator. This becomes necessary as you reconcile the logical address scheme of the Internet (the abstract world of IP addresses and subnets) with the physical networks in use by the real world. A system administrator who is allocated a block of IP addresses may be administering networks that are not organized in a way that easily fits these addresses. For example, you have a wide area network with 150 hosts on three networks (in different cities) that are connected by a TCP/IP router. Each of these three networks has 50 hosts. You are allocated the class C network 192.168.123.0. (For illustration, this address is actually from a range that is not allocated on the Internet.) This means that you can use the addresses 192.168.123.1 to 192.168.123.254 for your 150 hosts. Two addresses that cannot be used in your example are 192.168.123.0 and 192.168.123.255 because binary addresses with a host portion of all ones and all zeros are invalid. The zero address is invalid because it is used to specify a network without specifying a host. The 255 address (in binary notation, a host address of all ones) is used to broadcast a message to every host on a network. Just remember that the first and last address in any network or subnet cannot be assigned to any individual host. You should now be able to give IP addresses to 254 hosts. This works fine if all 150 computers are on a single network. However, your 150 computers are on three separate physical networks. Instead of requesting more address blocks for each network, you divide your network into subnets that enable you to use one block of addresses on multiple physical networks. In this case, you divide your network into four subnets by using a subnet mask that makes the network address larger and the possible range of host addresses smaller. In other words, you are 'borrowing' some of the bits usually used for the host address, and using them for the network portion of the address. The subnet mask 255.255.255.192 gives you four networks of 62 hosts each. This works because in binary notation, 255.255.255.192 is the same as 1111111.11111111.1111111.11000000. The first two digits of the last octet become network addresses, so you get the additional networks 00000000 (0), 01000000 (64), 10000000 (128) and 11000000 (192). (Some administrators will only use two of the subnetworks using 255.255.255.192 as a subnet mask. For more information on this topic, see RFC 1878.) In these four networks, the last 6 binary digits can be used for host addresses. Using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192, your 192.168.123.0 network then becomes the four networks 192.168.123.0, 192.168.123.64, 192.168.123.128 and 192.168.123.192. These four networks would have as valid host addresses: 192.168.123.1-62 192.168.123.65-126 192.168.123.129-190 192.168.123.193-254 Remember, again, that binary host addresses with all ones or all zeros are invalid, so you cannot use addresses with the last octet of 0, 63, 64, 127, 128, 191, 192, or 255. You can see how this works by looking at two host addresses, 192.168.123.71 and 192.168.123.133. If you used the default Class C subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, both addresses are on the 192.168.123.0 network. However, if you use the subnet mask of 255.255.255.192, they are on different networks; 192.168.123.71 is on the 192.168.123.64 network, 192.168.123.133 is on the 192.168.123.128 network.
