Carrey is far more interesting in these roles.....3/5.

After watching The Number 23, I could never look at Jim Carey the same way again as he played Mr. Fingerling....wow!!!! lol.. Good scenes, good storyline, awesome actors. Also, Jim Carey was married in RL to the actress who played his wife in this movie 23 years before the movie was made. Another tidbit of info, his name and the actress' name comes up exactly as number 23. :)

Loved it. I was pleasantly surprised that Jim Carrey managed to pull off such a serious role so well. I hope he does more serious roles like this, I want to see just how talented the man really is.

What a dreadful film, 20mins in and i was bored shitless, the way people were giving it good reviews, i thought it would be a decent film, but it was fucking awful. Dont even bother watching, i think everybody else who watched this film must have been stoned, because thats probably the only way you'd enjoy it. I rate this film a 2/10.

its the first movie i like with jim carrey

Jim Carey showed he can act in all genres, not only in comedy.This drama has unbelievable intesity and it's full of mysteris.It's little bit spooky but nothing to be afraid of.I really loved to see JIm Carey in this role. I'm recommend this movie ! 9/10 (Worth watching definitely!)
|Posted by voodookitty 3 years, 6 months ago
I liked this movie. I agree that it was a bit contrived, but if you can suspend disbelief for the sake of an enjoyable movie, you'll like it. The style had a Sin City-esque, 50s Dick Tracy feel to me, which I enjoyed. And what's not to like about a dark, thought-provoking who-done-it?
|Posted by Kez1181 3 years, 8 months ago
Yeah it's ok, probably a better concept than final product, Pi is a better numerology movie 6/10
|Posted by Splifff737 3 years, 8 months ago
Good film and kept me entertained, would recommend the film 'Knowing' to anyone who enjoyed this film and finds the look into secrets in numbers interesting. 7/10

Spooky. Their is some truth to the number. The tropics. The Earths Axis. It is one number that is absolute. There is actually a lot of people who follow the number. Theyre called 23rdians. Look it up. I think Jim Carrey might be one of them. He explains he is an aquarius in the movie, I think this is true in real life as well. Theres a connection there... 01/23/84 is my bday. a 2 and a 3 dice tattooed on me since I was 15 (was meant to be 1 5 di, but ran outta room and had to make another di). My 23rd birthday and that year was one of the worst years in my life. This movie came out that year. And beyond that... Nothing calls of the number in my life to make it significant to be a 23rdian, but Im also blessed by the fin at any moment..... I hear no evil, I see no evil, I feel no evil, and righteously there is no evil that plagues me or my worlds. Its a Aquarian's world. Get used to it or be late

Five is the number of my immediate family. It is also the number of fingers on my hand, and the number of toes on my foot. It was also a number in last night's winning lottery ticket. It was also the number of times I farted today. Coincidence? According to Jim Carrey, maybe not.

|Posted by mbarl002 4 years ago
I really liked this movie. I love the work Jim Carrey does in his dramatic rolls. A nice pychological thriller about a man coming to terms with his past through his obcession with the number 23. 4/5

It's A Shower
It's a shower, here comes the flowers
Oh, no it's a baby shower
Look at all the gifts
It's quite a list
A gift for a boy
A gift for a girl
Oh, look it's a toy
For a girl or boy
I hear a whisper
It was my sister
I hear another
It was my brother
Oh, no it's my mother
Here comes the biggest gift of all
He is very tall
It's my father after all
Now it's time to rest
It was the best

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
France's defence minister played down another sales failure for the Dassault-made Rafale fighter jet in Brazil, saying he was confident there would soon be better news from tenders in India and Gulf Arab countries.
Built by Dassault Aviation, the Rafale has still not found a foreign buyer for its multi-role jet, billed to be one of the most effective and sophisticated fighter jets in the world, but also one of the most expensive.
Shares in the company fell around 4 percent on Thursday after Brazil's decision to award a $4.5 billion contract for 36 jets to Saab, a surprise coup for Sweden.
France had come close to sealing a deal with Brazil in 2011, with Dassault promising to transfer technology for the new jet in a bid to get an edge over the competition, but the Brazilian government announced it would delay its decision due to the escalating economic crisis.
"This isn't a failure. It's a disappointment on a target that wasn't a priority," Jean-Yves Le Drian toldEurope 1 radio, playing down the loss. "Brazil was not the priority target for the Rafale. We have more important targets in India and the Gulf (Arab states)."
French President Francois Hollande had travelled to the Latin American oil producer on Dec. 12 to push the deal.
Dassault has been in exclusive negotiations with the Indian government for more than a year to sell 126 planes. An Indian air force official said at the end of October it hoped to conclude the deal by March 2014.
"Brazil's choice was logical," a Paris-based trader said. "It was an economic choice to pick the Swedish plane.
"France needs to understand that the Rafale is too expensive and that the quality of the equipment is not taken into consideration in the current decision making process. With this failure, the India contract becomes crucial for Dassault."
Under a five-year defence plan unveiled in October, the French military will slow the pace at which it takes delivery of Rafale jets from Dassault, taking just 26 over the next years instead of the planned 11 a year.
The French government's decision to slow the production line may push Dassault to review the cost of the plane - threatening to raise costs for the defence budget.
"We have good reason to think that in India and the Gulf (Arab states) there will be results," Le Drian said.
The aircraft has received a great deal more interest since it was deployed in the NATO mission in Libyain 2011, its first ever combat operation, and earlier this year when France intervened to oust Islamist rebels in Mali.
France's stance on Syria and a tough line over Iran's nuclear programme, has helped its relationship with the hydrocarbons-rich Gulf Arab states prosper, already resulting in multi-billion dollar defence contracts this year.
Officials say they are optimistic on securing a large deal to deliver anti-aircraft defence missiles toRiyadh, where Hollande will travel at the end of December, but also the sale of Rafales to neighbouringQatar.
Doha wants to replace its fleet of 12 Mirage fighter jets, possibly buying 24 to 36 units. It is looking at the Rafale, the BAE Systems-backed Eurofighter Typhoon and various Boeing-made planes.
Dassault and BAE are also in a tight race to win a deal for 60 aircraft to replace the United Arab Emirates' Mirage fleet.

A brand new "Rite of Spring" made its debut at the Capitol Theatre Friday, where Ballet West paid tribute to Igor Stravinsky's iconic score — which recently turned 100 — with a far different choreographic take from that of the original 1913 ballet. The triple-bill program, also featuring George Balanchine's "Divertimento" and Jiri Kylian's "Forgotten Land," will run through April 19.
The program opened with Kylian's 1981 achievement "Forgotten Land," showcasing thoughtful scenery and costume design, including a massive seascape backdrop. Dancers wore various hues of reds, whites and grays that filled the abstract space as if they had been painted into the crests.
The cerebral work began with the ensemble facing the backdrop, rolling with the tide as if they were bobbing gulls alert to the color-changing horizon. Soon the ensemble dispersed into a range of pairings and solos.
As Benjamin Britten's glorious "Sinfonia da Requiem" came to a crescendo, so did the choreography. The dancers quickened with desperation and spun with abandon, their arms like windmills as a foreboding sense of love and loss closed in around them.
Kylian is a master of partnering. He has a way of transforming two beings into one with fluidity of movement and dashes of acrobatic power that mesmerize his audiences. Partners Allison DeBona and Adrian Fry were especially captivating, filling the space around them with ease and flow.
Next on the program was Balanchine's lighthearted "Divertimento No. 15," named for the accompanying music by Mozart. The ballet, sandwiched between two weighty pieces, was bright, free and gentle without feeling placid. Balanchine's technical achievements were on full display in a relaxed ease and grace that defied its physical demands.
Five ballerinas in bow-covered tutus shared the limelight with three court-attired men. The ballet contains a solo variation, danced by Beau Pearson, that is considered among the greats for male dancers. The fifth ballerina role, danced by Christiana Bennett, is also coveted. It works with the solo violinist's complex allegro variation in creating a dramatic climax.
An eight-woman ensemble also joined in, serving as a stunning pattern play against an array of partner configurations. Less than sure-footed in the beginning sequence, the ensemble gained traction and began to truly soar as the ballet progressed.
Never is the linking between Balanchine and composer more apparent than in "Divertimento No. 15." It's a hallmark of the choreographer's style to call attention to nuances in the music. Thanks to Jared Oaks' keen conducting, Mozart was fully appreciated and, thanks to the musical responsiveness of the dancers, fully articulated.
The brilliance and acute musicality of Bennett was especially noticeable. Both she and partner Pearson executed their difficult solos with aplomb, although Pearson struggled to convince audiences that he was fully swept up by the music. One could almost sense him keeping time in his head.
After a second intermission, Ballet West debuted Nicolo Fonte's new "Rite of Spring."
As the curtain rose during the recognizable opening bassoon solo, it became clear that any libretto similar to the original in which a pagan ritual dance would be enacted was not in the cards. In fact, with the costume and movement, one was more inclined to hear something new in the music — such as a jazz-soaked nightclub instead of the dawn of a pagan holiday — especially with the industrial setting and cropped black leather unitards.

A City Education: Five Creative Ways to Engage Students in Black History
Through A City Education, City Year corps members share their experiences working as tutors and mentors in schools in hopes of closing the opportunity gap and ending the dropout crisis.
Across the country, during the month of February, students will be reading texts or glancing at posters celebrating inspiring black change makers, leaders and activists. But, reading text about black history isn't always enough to cultivate engagement in the subject or to understand the significance of the roles African American leaders have played in history—beyond Black History Month.
During my first year with City Year, when I initially asked some students, "Why do you think Black History Month is important?" I got a few responses such as: "I don't know...'cause of civil rights?" or "Martin Luther King Jr.?" It took me by surprise that while my school's student body was over 40 percent African American, and the students have been in school for over a decade, there was still a gap between the school curriculum and what they were retaining about our nation's past.
Part of getting through to students in subjects outside of the core curriculum and having them understand the significance of black history is having them taking ownership of their learning and having hands-on and interactive experience. Many of our City Year partner schools incorporate different learning styles and promote this kind of student engagement. Here are five examples of their initiatives:
1. Arts and "Entertainment" Through Bringing Books to Life (BBL)
Why? Acting books out through reader's theater or plays help students connect to the stories. At PS 87 in Harlem, they just finished Bringing their Books to Life. They held an assembly for students in grades K through 5, and performed an entire program around the book, "March On."
How: The City Year team read of parts of the book, performed spoken word, showed short videos of Dr. King speaking, and had a student volunteer read off a speech about his own dream. They played a clip of "We Will Overcome," and had select corps members and students march into the front of the auditorium. They ended it with reading the last part of the book. The kids enjoyed it because it was fast-paced enough that they stay engaged and involved different elements.
The teachers then took lessons from the BBL and built lessons for their classes around it.
2. Student-Organized Monthly Black History Art Night
Why? Students who organize school events are invested because they are the ones who are planning and preparing for it.
How: It can incorporate spoken word, art, and essays by students that feature a different African-American leader every month. Students may encourage friends and family to come, and while attendance can be tough after hours, the people who do come are likely to be involved and interested in the event. To encourage more students to come, partnering with different departments and the administration on it can help. For example, my team and I planned an English language arts and math focused game night that had a huge turn-out because the English and Math department were involved, offering extra credit to students who came. And, the administration let students make-up hours through being invovled in the event.
3. Project Based Learning (PBL)
Why? Project Based Learning forces students to collaborate with others, use their critical thinking skills and problems solving.
How: After reading Richard Connell's, "The Most Dangerous Game," with my ninth graders last year, the teacher I helped support had the students collaboratively create an intricate game board based on the sequence of events in the story. It had requirements for the amount of events, game questions, and it had to actually be able to be played. It was a long project, but the students got invested in them and at the end, they were all able to play the games and learn in-depth about the story's plot and character development.
You can also incorporate social media. During our annual day of service, we had volunteers and students fill out prompts about what service and MLK's legacy meant to them, then we used an app called Flipgram to add music and make a slideshow. The same can be done to spark interest inside classrooms.
After a Black History Month lesson, have students interview students using a flipcam or phone to find out what their peers know about Black History, what it means to them and potentially discover the gap in their knowledge. For younger kids, they can use simple prompts and an app like Flipgram (up to 25 seconds of photos) to get students attention and it's something students can do themselves.
4. Field Trips
Why? Field trips can help the concepts students learned inside the classroom come alive and most students relish in the idea of getting out of school for a trip.
How: In New York City, there are a variety of exhibits dedicated to Black History Month and they can all be found on the New York City Go website (or through a quick Google search). Some of the ongoing exhibits include Harlem Tours and the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture has different public programs and exhibits. And, the Weeksville Heritage Center in Brooklyn is dedicated to preserving 19th century African American History. Large group tours here have temporarily been suspended, but they still admit groups of six, which means that a few student leaders could go to this and then teach back to students what they've learned. Not in New York City? Check your local museums and cultural centers for ideas.
5. Service Learning
Why: Service learning is a way students can connect what they learn in class to community service. It can give them perspective of social issues and help collaborate with others.
How: Many school district websites list different organizations that offer community service opportunities. It can be taking a group of high schoolers to the local food bank or participating in an organization's service day. City Year also has service days throughout the year, so if you want to get involved with us, check with a City Year site close to you.

Good morning Cougargator.
You can find any districts STAAR test results by going to TEA's website and looking on the right side of the page under the "How Do I..." column and then click on "Find District level STAAR results".
There everyone can also compare previous years results to this years to see whether or not districts are moving in the right direction or not?
I hope this helps....[wink]
Tried to find the EOC results on the TEA website.....could you point how to find them?
What a dumb-ass school board.
D I S C I P L I N E has a major role in why things are not the way they should be. Another is wasteful spending. When I taught in LMISD ions ago they were highest paying school district around. Union Carbide is now DOW. Now, where is all the money going?
Most of the schools in the area are bringing back Vocational education because in these fields they did not have the number of applicants they once had and also,those with some knowledge of the field. When I was in school vocational department was rather large. Not everyone goes to college. College is NOT for everyone. On the flip side those that are not currently going to college are mainly working minimum wage jobs ( if they are working at all and not one the WIC/Lonestar system) and one live off of a minimum wage job. If you doubt what I am saying I suggest you look at GISD, TCISD, DISD, and other surrounding school districts to see if they have starting adding vocational classes to their line up.
At least someone somewhere is realizing that we need people in the vocational fields.
Using the Dean of whatever is not a new SYSTEM. It is more or less and change in titles. Our Dean of Instruction handled parents who wanted know info about the curriculum. We had parents who came a questioned what was being taught. And yes, we teach what the school tells us to teach; however, Texas schools are too involved in teaching to the test. IMO that needs to stop. I cannot think of any TAKS factory or TAKS Industrial Plants around the area so the students need to know more than TAKS.
All anyone has to do is look at LMISD's 2013-2014 STAAR test scores on TEA's website or ask for a copy from the district and you will see that the high school is NOT the only school performing poorly in the district.
The writing is already on the wall as we're seeing being demonstrated by these recent changes to the LM High School in order to beg students to return. What parents don't understand is the injustice that THEY and ONLY THEY are doing to THEIR OWN child's education by buying into this "new system" in order that these people can have a paycheck!
At the end of the day, I don't want to hear how bad LMISD is from any parent that can financially afford to send their child to another school district, yet THEY choose to cheat their child out of receiving an excellent education elsewhere simply by keeping them educationally trapped in an ALREADY PROVEN academically UNDERPERFORMING and UNACCEPTABLE school district! [thumbdown]
Same board, with the same attitude, and the same agenda.
More of the Earl Scheib business model...
Will the 'deans' be any more empowered than the A.P.'s were to go to some people's homes and force them to give a darn about their kids and make them do homework and make them have manners and make them show up for school ready to learn?
Sonic puts a cherry on top of all their milk shakes....it's still a milk shake, not a sundae...
So now that LM High Schools students are doing so poorly academically we need to lower the standards for which they are required to graduate, so it appears that we have to change the system for which they must meet academic excellence, but we're also lowering the standards and job titles for our hiring practices so that we can legally hire "thugs" in order to get someone to come to LM.
This is just a down right shame and just goes to prove that TEA needs to send in monitors this year in order to replace these incompetent school board members!
Who in the hell would send their child to any school district that has a school board as incompetent as LMISD and a school system that has to lower their standards as such to give a diploma to a child just for showing up even if that means that when they graduate, it's not worth the piece of paper for which it's written on?
I've heard it all now.... "Dean of this, Associate Dean of that," same lipstick being applied on the same pathetic dying pig in order to make it look healthier than it is!
These losers never cease to amaze me! [scared]
It said the misdemeanor thefts happened when he was 20-21.
He was an associate principal when he was 32 (and put the kid in a choke hold).
Who were the other applicants for this job? What was the number of those who applied? You mean this was the only person who could qualify for this position? If I were a taxpaying resident of LaMarque, I'd like to know which trustees voted Mr. Credit into this job, and on what basis did use to give him the job.
Being a former educator, I know there are many administrators/teachers who get a glowing job recommendation just to get rid of the person to another district.
Who will be the Dean of gimmicks and applying lipstick to pigs? This is as hokey as naming schools academies and signs promoting "Good News". Will there be a dean of pizza parties? Dean Papa John?
"There are always three sides to the story- his, mine and the truth, I thought a story had 2 sides.
Read article below:
Wow! When I taught in Cypress Fairbanks in the 80's-90's we had Deans there. You mean that concept is just now making it to the south side of Houston. Must have gotten held up somewhere.
To Mr. Do Right= How many people have the name Andre Credit? Who can be an associate principal at the age of 21 or 22. To receive that type of certification one must have 3 years of teaching. Or does Houston not require certification?
Is this the same Andre Credit who was accused of putting a student in a "choke hold" a few years ago and who was convicted of misdemeanor theft twice in the 1990s?
Hmmm...If you don't believe me read this story below from the KTRK ABC-13 website...
June 5, 2008 6:26:12 PM PDT
By Kevin Quinn
"Accused Choke Hold Principal Has Record"
HOUSTON -- We've learned an associate principal, who was accused of putting a student in a choke hold during a food fight at the school, has a criminal record. Andre Credit was convicted of misdemeanor theft twice. The convictions happened in 1995, then in 1996. That was well before he got the job at Bush High School. At the time he was 20 and 21 years old. He's now 32. Each time he was given a year of probation. For the '96 conviction he was sentenced to 180 days in jail.
He worked at HISD before Fort Bend ISD hired him a year ago despite those convictions.
The district tells us:
"It is not a practice of the district to hire employees with felony convictions, and the district evaluates misdemeanor convictions on a case by case basis prior to employment."
Credit was arrested Tuesday and charged with aggravated assault. A student says credit put him in a choke hold and slammed him to the ground following a food fight where the student threw a plastic bottle.
Today the Fort Bend Employee Federation called for a more thorough investigation of what happened after some of its members questioned whether eyewitnesses collaborated in giving statements.
This teacher was willing to defend Credit if we granted her anonymity.
"We do what we can to discipline and keep control," the teacher told us. "But [I] feel very strongly about what happened in the cafeteria involving Mr. Credit was orchestrated."
That teacher says the student was bragging in school the next day about planning to sue the school district. Something he told us as well.
Credit has not responded to repeated attempts to get his side of this story.
We should note that Fort Bend ISD police insist they conducted a textbook investigation, interviewing student and teacher eyewitnesses separately after the incident.
We're always interested in hearing about news in our community. Let us know what's going on!

BlackBerry will take another stab at rolling out the Android and iOS version of the BlackBerry Messenger chatting app in the following days.
The second coming of BBM for Android is "within days"
by Bogdan Petrovan 1 year ago
BlackBerry will take another stab at rolling out the Android and iOS version of the BlackBerry Messenger chatting app in the following days.
Taking a page from Dell, Blackberry has signed a letter of intent with Fairfax Financial for a $4.7 billion buyout. The deal would pay each shareholder $9/share in cash, and could end up bringing Blackberry under the auspice of privatization.
Blackberry released their preliminary financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2014, and it's worse than imagined. While nobody believed BB10 would fully resurrect the once mighty smartphone company, nobody expected operating losses approaching $1 billion, either.
A new app has arrived to Google Play under the name "Blackberry Messenger BBM". Don't let the name fool you, it appears to yet another fake BBM app. Keep reading to learn more!
Perhaps Blackberry's most popular feature of all time was its BBM platform and we knew it was coming to Android. Now, a beta tester will show it to you.
A landing page on the Blackberry website today noted that "BBM for Android and iPhone is here". It's not, but this slight error on the part of Blackberry should tell us the release is imminent.
New TV ads that aired in Africa say that the BBM for Android app is coming to Samsung Galaxy devices soon, although a release date for the app is not available yet.
Reports now suggest Blackberry is planning to spin BBM off into its own company, perhaps a subsidiary of Blackberry. This move, if it occurs, suggests that Blackberry is simply positioning BBM as an asset.
Some very basic user manuals for BBM were on the Blackberry website, then promptly removed. According to several sources who laid eyes on the manuals, the directions were a simple "how to" guide for getting up and running with BBM.
BlackBerry has just decided to form a special committee in order to "explore strategic alternatives" for its survival, according to a new press release.

More than a quarter of new car buyers are downsizing, according to a new JD Power and Assoc. survey. That means they're buying smaller cars than the ones they're trading in. Only 13% are upsizing.
And those buying smaller cars are finding them much more enjoyable than ever before, according to the J.D. Power APEAL survey, which measures how much new car owners like their cars. The name stands for Automotive Performance Execution And Layout.
The Chevrolet Sonic, for instance, is the best-liked of all sub-compacts, just edging out the Fiat 500 and Ford Fiesta.
This survey has nothing to do with sales volume since plenty of cars sell well but don't make their owners as happy as cars that are purchased less often. Also, there's a tendency for more emotionally engaging or "quirky" cars to do well in this survey since owners tend to identify with them more, according to J.D. Power.

Seattle developer Wright Runstad said it plans to start work Monday on the Spring District, a 36-acre, mixed-use project in Bellevue.
Demolition of a warehouse and installation of streets and utilities will position the developer for groundbreaking on a 491,000-square-foot office complex in early 2014 if an anchor tenant signs on or the market is strong enough to justify speculative construction, said Greg Johnson, president of Wright Runstad.
Seattle-based Security Properties plans to start building a 316-unit apartment complex in the Spring District next year as well.

Britian's Conservative government is taking a "tough love" approach to foreign aid, threatening to withhold millions of dollars to countries that persecute gays and lesbians. The southern African nation of Malawi has already had its payments sliced by about $30 million, after it sentenced a gay couple to 14 months of hard labor for holding an engagement party. Fellow "anti-gay" countries Uganda and Ghana could lose millions, too. "I want Britain to be a global beacon for reform," says Prime Minister David Cameron. Is this a good use of foreign aid?
Bravo, Cameron: This is a "bold and necessary move" on Britain's part, and other countries should follow suit, says Brandon Rolph at Instinct. Plenty of African leaders brutally persecute gays, and homosexuality might even be punishable by death soon in Uganda. That's unacceptable, and "since it seems like money is the only thing that politicians can understand," Cameron is certainly "coming at this problem from the right angle."
"British official says aid will be cut off to African countries..."
C'mon. Britain's priorities are ludicrous: "All persecution is worse than deplorable," says Hal G.P. Colebatch at The American Spectator. But if Cameron is so gung-ho about taking "his homosexual rights crusade to the Third World," he should also slash aid to, say, the religious bigots in Pakistan. But I guess those "victims of persecution are only Christians, who don't count." By focusing on gays, he's just making "a naked declaration of cultural imperialism."
"British priorities"
The plan is great, even if the motives are rubbish: Treating gay-hunting nations as "pariah states" is "a welcome move, even if it is long overdue," says Melanie Phillips at Britain's Daily Mail. But it's also a shamelessly cynical, "brilliantly PC solution to Mr. Cameron's political problem with overseas aid." This plan allows Cameron "to nod to his Conservative critics" by slashing aid, while simultaneously softening his party's image by "posing as an apostle of gay rights."

Defense Science and Technology Organization (DSTO) of Australia purchased an interferometric synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) system from Kraken Sonar Systems of St. John's, Newfoundland in December 2012. This is Kraken's first commercial sale of the AquaPix SAS system, which follows two sets of sea trials in which the system had been previously tested by Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC) in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, Rhode Island. Financial terms and contract details regarding the DSTO sale were not disclosed.
"We intend to run AquaPix in as wide a variety of environments as possible to ascertain its full range of capabilities," said David Battle, Head of the Littoral Unmanned Systems Group at DSTO, which is part of Australia's Department of Defense. He added that mine countermeasures and route survey tasks are their top priorities. Asked why DSTO selected the Kraken system, he cited the low cost of Aquapix ownership and several technical features. "We are hoping that the design emphasis on multi-path mitigation pays dividends in shallow water where SAS has been known to struggle," Battle said, adding that the quality and consistency of data are key. Another DSTO priority is a quick and simple integration. "Reliance on correlation-based micro-navigation techniques should reduce the dependence on tight inertial navigation system coupling, thus simplifying the overall integration task." While the contract value was not disclosed, Battle reported that the price paid was significantly less than those quoted by the other manufacturers who had been invited to tender.
A key feature of the Aquapix system that stands out in comparison to conventional sonar, said Kraken Sonar Systems President and CEO Karl Kenny, is the synthetic aperture signal processing software which "tricks the system into thinking the physical transducer array is much longer—20 to 25 times longer," resulting in greatly increased image resolution and range. He adds that the interferomeric SAS produces detailed seabed images with 3 cm resolution to ranges over a 400-meter swath—200 meters x 2 for both sides of the vehicle. Through advanced signal processing, the transducer pings are realigned and made coherent over 1/16 of a wavelength, equivalent to the diameter of a thick human hair. "Interferometric" refers to upper and lower transducers that together enable locating a point on the seabed. In combination with the pressure sensor onboard, this provides the bathymetry. "The high resolution and potential improvements in coverage rate have generated a great deal of interest in SAS technology generally," Battle said. "The ability to source both images and bathymetry through the same sensor seems to be emerging as a must-have feature for AUV sensors."
Kraken Sonar Systems was spun out from Marport Deep Sea Technologies in September 2012 to focus on military and commercial applications for the SAS technology initially developed by the NATO Underwater Research Center in La Spezia, Italy. Marport acquired the intellectual property from NATO via DRDC in 2010 and further developed the technology between early 2011 and August 2012. Dr. Marc Pinto, who has been involved in the development of SAS since the early 1990s and served as Head of the Mine Countermeasures Department at NATO Underwater Research Center, is currently Chief Technology Officer at Kraken.
After spending 18 months developing the Aquapix system, Kraken's first real-world testing opportunity came in August 2012 when they were awarded a Defense Industrial Research Program contract from DRDC to trial the system in a Repeat-Pass Interferometric SAS program. "The purpose was to collect sonar data to get very high resolution bathymetry," said Vincent Myers, Defense Scientist at DRDC, by conducting multiple runs at varying altitudes over the same area, where mine-like targets had been placed. This also enabled them to look for subtle differences in what Myers refers to as "coherent change detection." He added, "We also wanted the experience of using SAS in Canadian waters using one of our own vehicles." Myers reported that Kraken's integration of the system into the ISE-built hull section of the Arctic Explorer AUV went smoothly and there were no performance issues during the two-week trials. "Looking at the data, some images were pretty spectacular," he recalled. "I've seen a lot of SAS data, and this was right up there, on par with world-leading SAS. I'm impressed they were able to develop this technology in such a short period of time." Kraken is currently processing the data.
The system covered a swath of 220 meters per side, reported Myers, who added that the constant resolution provided by SAS is not found in other data acquisition methods. "The problem (with the other methods)," he said, "is that their resolution degrades with range which limits their usefulness for our purposes, which is to detect naval mines." He said another advantage of the Kraken system is that it does not require an inertial navigation system to produce the imagery. He added that while INS is still required onboard to determine the absolute position, the ability to strap on to the Aquapix system without having to interface it with INS was a plus.
The trials conducted at NUWC in November 2012 and January 2013 were supported by a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between NUWC and Kraken. The purpose was to integrate and evaluate the AquaPix SAS on one of NUWC's medium-sized AUV's, a 12.75-inch diameter REMUS 600 built by Hydroid Inc. Kraken's Kenny reports that NUWC engineers provided technical input on the payload module requirements and Kraken engineers designed a drop-in wet payload section with minimal integration requirements. Within a five-day period, the conventional sidescan sonar payload section was removed and Kraken's AquaPix SAS module was assembled, tested and installed at NUWC's facility.
Known targets that had been laid were surveyed at varying altitudes and stand-off distances, reports Kenny who adds that there was consistent 3-cm resolution to ranges in excess of 200 meters. 3D bathymetric data was also collected to produce digital terrain models of the seabed in compliance with IHO S44 special order requirements.
Delivery of DSTO's Aquapix system is slated for the end of March. Asked if the availability of SAS at a low price point could be a game changer, Battle replied, "SAS could be a game changer if it proves robust in a wide range of environments.
The problem has been that SAS has remained very expensive, and occasionally finicky, while real array side-scan systems have continued to evolve and improve. If SAS technology becomes more affordable and demonstrates the same kind of robustness that real array systems have become known for, then I think it will be adopted very quickly." Myers said that a reduced-cost option for SAS will make this technology available beyond militaries—to research organizations and universities. Kenny reported that a key focus of Marport and Kraken's R&D efforts has been to develop the technology that would enable them to price their Aquapix SAS system in the $250,000 range.

|I'm not sure about this. Even though I haven't seen the anime, but I have seen Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, which was directed by Masaaki Tezuka of course. I thought GAM was one of the most boring Godzilla films in terms of character development and action. Mechagodzilla (he's called Kiryu in the movie) has been pussified, unlike his previous versions. However, he did a good job with Godzilla vs. Megaguirus and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.. Aside from my rant there (being a Godzilla fan and all), I think Tezuka might do a better job with this film, but it's uncertain in how it will turn out. I'll have to check out the anime sometime.
