US 5387943 A Abstract A semiautomatic lip sync recovery system for time synchronizing the audio and video channels of a television signal uses programmable delay circuits in each channel. An area of the image represented by the video channel is defined within which motion related to sound occurs. Motion vectors are generated for the defined area, and correlated with the levels of the audio channel to determine a time difference between the video and audio channels. The time difference is then used to compute delay control signals for the programmable delay circuits so that the video and audio channels are in time synchronization.
Claims(2) 1. An apparatus for synchronizing a video channel and an audio channel of a television signal comprising:
programmable means for selectively delaying the video and audio channels: means for defining an area within the image represented by the video channel that has motion corresponding to sound in the audio channel; means for generating motion vectors for the defined area; and means for producing from the motion vectors and the audio channel delay signals for the programmable delaying means so that the outputs from the programmable delaying means for the respective video and audio channels are in time synchronization. 2. A method of synchronizing an audio channel to a video channel of a television signal comprising the steps of:
defining an area in the image represented by the video channel that has motion corresponding to sound in the audio channel; generating motion vectors for the defined area; correlating the motion vectors with the audio channel to determine a time difference between corresponding points of the video and audio channels; and delaying the video and audio channels according to the time difference so that the video and audio channels are in time synchronization. Description BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to timing errors in television systems, and more particularly to a semiautomatic lip sync recovery system for correcting timing errors between the audio and video channels of a television signal. In current television systems a television signal includes a video channel for the image information and an audio channel for the corresponding sound information. These channels are processed in entirely different ways. Due to the different processing timing errors occur between the video and audio channel that, if not corrected, result in the sound and image of the recombined channels, when displayed on a television receiver or monitor, being out of sync. These timing errors are most noticeable when a person in the image is speaking and the movement of the person's lips does not correspond to the sound, from which comes the term "lip sync" error. In production and broadcast television studios video frame synchronizers such as the 110-S Video Synchronizer manufactured by Tektronix, Inc. Wilsonville, Oreg., United States of America, are used to synchronize the video channel to a master timing signal within the studio. During the course of this video processing the output from the video channel may be delayed by several video frames from the input. The audio channel usually is not processed extensively so that the output from the audio channel occurs prior to the corresponding output from the video channel. It is difficult for humans to easily determine how much video-to-audio delay or advance is present. To correct the timing error introduced by the video synchronizer between the video and audio channels, audio synchronizers, such as the 118-AS Audio Synchronizer also manufactured by Tektronix, Inc., have been developed to replace manual approximations by a human operator. However these audio synchronizers correct only the delay added by the video synchronizer. They do not correct other errors accumulated upstream of the synchronizer or those incurred by subsequent processing. What is desired is a semiautomatic lip sync recovery system that allows a human operator to easily correct for the timing error between video and audio channels of a television signal. Accordingly the present invention provides a semiautomatic lip sync recovery system for easily correcting timing errors between video and audio channels of a television signal. The video and audio channels to be synchronized are input to respective programmable delay circuits. The video channel also is stored in a video frame buffer. The operator, via an interface circuit, outlines the position and size of the lips of a speaking person on a video monitor. The portion of the video signal from the frame buffer corresponding to the lips as outlined by the operator is input to a motion detector to produce motion vectors. The motion vectors together with the audio channel, are input to a correlation processor for determining the delays to be programmed into the respective programmable delay circuits. The correlation processor uses an appropriate correlation algorithm to link lip motion with sound loudness, or amplitude. The correlation is performed over several video frames to produce the appropriate delays so that the outputs from the respective programmable delay circuits are in time synchronization with each other. The objects, advantages and other novel features of the present invention are apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended claims and attached drawing. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a semiautomatic lip sync recovery system according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow chart diagram of a representative correlation algorithm according to the present invention. Referring now to FIG. 1 a video channel of a television signal is input to a programmable video delay circuit 12, and an audio channel of the television signal is input to a programmable audio delay circuit 14. The amount of delay between the outputs and inputs of the programmable delay circuits is determined by respective delay control signals from a correlation processor 16. The video channel also is input to a frame buffer 18 for storage on a video frame-by-frame, or field-by-field, basis. An operator interfaces with the frame buffer 18 via an interface circuit 20. The contents of the frame buffer 18 are displayed on a video monitor 22, providing the operator with feedback in response to operator inputs. The operator inputs via the interface circuit 20, using a joystick or the like, a position and size of a lip sync outline that encompasses the lips of a speaker, as observed on the monitor 22 by a highlighted border or area. The implementation of such highlighting is a well known translucent overlay common to many video effects products. The boundaries of the lip sync outline define a portion of the video data in the frame buffer 18 that is extracted and input to a motion detector 24. Motion vectors are computed by the motion detector from the extracted video data on a frame-by-frame, or field-by-field, basis to determine the direction and relative amount of motion between the lips. Also the size of the mouth opening is determined. Any one or more of common motion detection/estimation algorithms may be used, such as sub-pixel block matching, to generate the motion vectors. One such algorithm may be found at pages 334-350 of "Digital Pictures-Representation & Compression" by Arun N. Netravali and Barry G. Haskell of AT&T Bell Laboratories, published in 1988 by the Plenum Press of New York City, N.Y. The motion vectors output from the motion detector 24 are input to the correlation processor 16 together with the audio channel. The correlation processor 16 looks for correlation between the motion vectors and the input audio in time. For example, the correlation algorithm shown in FIG. 2 looks for motion vectors at a minimum and mouth openings at a maximum, and tries to correlate these to peaks in the audio level, i.e., a wide open mouth correlates to loud sound. This correlation is repeated over many frames of the video data. Once correlation is achieved within a specified tolerance, the delay between the audio and video channels is determined. From the determined delay value the correlation processor 16 computes a minimum delay value for the channel that is late and a sync delay value for the channel that is early, the sync delay value being the sum of the minimum and determined delay values. These delay values are applied to the respective programmable delay circuits 12, 14 as delay control signals to delay the respective channels so that the output audio and video channels are in synchronization. In operation as shown in FIG. 2 an operator interactively via the interface circuit 20 positions and sizes the lip box about the mouth of a person in the video image by observing the video monitor 22. Once the lip box is in place, i.e., the selected lips are within the lip box, the operator presses and holds a "GO" button. When the mouth moves out of the lip box or the scene changes, the operator releases the lip box. During the period when the GO button is held, video data is stored in the frame buffer 18 and audio data is stored in a buffer in the processor 16 and pointers into the respective buffers are recorded. Once the data is acquired, the processor 16 time tags relative amplitude peaks and valleys in the audio data, as well as performing any necessary filtering, and the motion detector 24 generates motion vectors and mouth opening sizes from the video data, as well as doing any necessary filtering. The processor 16 correlates zero motion vectors with open and closed mouths. Then, using a time correlation technique of sliding the data records in time relative to each other, the processor matches peaks in the audio data with open mouths in the video data and valleys in the audio data with closed mouths in the video data. Once the processor 16 finds a match, i.e., correlation greater than a given threshold (for example 75% correlation may be sufficient), it compares the time tags of any two associated audio/video samples and subtracts them to determine a relative time difference. The processor 16 then adjusts the buffer lengths by using the pointers to realign the video with the audio by providing the appropriate delay signals to the delay circuits 12, 14. Thus the present invention provides a semiautomatic lip sync recovery. system by correlating lip movement in a video channel of a television signal with level in an audio channel of the television signal to produce delay values for the respective channels that result in audio and video synchronization at the output.

Georgios Samaras says Celtic will be patient in Wednesday night's Champions League playoff qualifier against Shakhter Karagandy.
The Scottish champions were beaten by the Kazakhstan side 2-0 in Astana last week and now need to overcome that deficit to force their way into the group stage proper of Europe's premier club competition for a second straight season.
With Celtic needing at least two goals to secure their spot in the Champions League, Greek forward Samaras says is not too perturbed when the goals come, as long as they do.
"An early goal would be perfect but we can´t panic," Samaras told the club's official website. "We have to play our game and move the ball really well and the chances will come.
"I really don't care if the goals come in the first 10 minutes or the last 10 minutes. It is 90 minutes and it´s plenty of time. We have scored many goals at Celtic Park in the past and the main thing is we are clinical with the chances we create.
"Nothing has changed. The way we think and the way we play, our style of football at Celtic Park is the same in domestic games. We have the most possession and try to create some chances. If we concede then we will have to score four goals, but we have done that before at Celtic Park and we can do it again."

Recent Vermont Reviews
We have stayed at this resort before but this condo was the best we have ever occupied! Lots of privacy, high ceilings, great views, a feeling of spaciousness, and a very convenient location close to the stairs and easy walking to ski valet, etc. We liked the bathrooms being ensuite and having an extra half bath, too. We hope to stay here again!
Great customer service & a beautiful condo as well
My husband and I just came back from a beautiful 5 nights staying in this condo during fall foliage season in Vermont. It happened to be our 22nd anniversary and I always wanted to get up there for the leaves changing. The condo was located in a perfect setting surrounded by the mountains and right across the street from the ski slopes. Not sure if we wanted to stay in Killington or go to Stowe so I spoke to a number of rental condo owners and by far Jules the owner was the most gracious and helpful of all. He emailed me a huge vacation guide he wrote and provided a number of suggestions about where to go when we were there. The vacation guide even had a seven day driving tour of Vermont.
The condo itself was absolutely beautiful and very clean (my husband loved the high definition TV since it is football season). The condo also came fully equipped and even had a cabinet in the kitchen stocked with coffee, tea, canned goods, food, and spices. Jules made it clear that we were welcome to make use of anything we find and we did. A pleasant surprise was when we arrived and found that Jules left us a bottle of wine with a note saying happy anniversary. Now this is what customer service should be and why I will always rent directly from an owner and not a rental company when traveling in the future. Not the cheapest rental but well worth the price.
We were so pleased with this condo that we called Jules while still staying there and booked a one week rental for this ski season. I didn't realize it but he owns several other condos in the same resort and let us do a walk through of some of the others so that we could pick which one we wanted to stay in for our ski season rental. They were all equally as nice as this one and immaculately clean but I picked another condo just for some variety. I will definitely recommend this condo and Jules when renting in Killington.
Summer Week at Stratton
We enjoyed a gorgeous, Vermont summer week at this Stratton condo. Two of my children were attending a Lacrosse camp at Stratton Mt. School and we decided to make it a vacation.I am so glad that we found this rental.
Owners: From the moment of my first inquiry the owner was communicative, helpful and very professional. He responded to every question immediately. He couldn't have been nicer. The information/instructions about checking in, security, parking, etc. were thorough and detailed. Clearly the owners take pride in their property.
Condo: The location is perfect! Although we do not ski Stratton, it was easy to visualize a winter weekend with fresh snow. You are literally an elevator ride away from the lift. You are also right in the middle of the village for dinner, shopping or an after ski drink. Although summer is a quieter time at the mountain, we enjoyed the general store, sushi, and the candy store. Although we did not eat at Verde, the condo is in the same building and the crowds and smells as we walked by support the excellent reviews. The condo itself is beautiful. It is very clean and nicely decorated. Although we were 4 most nights, this unit can sleep many more comfortably. Two families with multiple kids would easily enjoy enough space. The bunk room upstairs was a huge hit with my boys and my 12 year old daughter loved her own suite!
The fitness center is a short walk, bike ride or drive away. It is a nice facility that also has a pool, hot tub and a separate cardio room. My husband, found many hills around Stratton to road bike. Hiking, swimming holes and mountain biking are also just outside your door.
DON'T MISS….There is an excellent craft beer store, Meulemans on the corner of 30 and 100. Also, the Garden Restaurant and Cafe in Londonderry is worth the drive for a lunch or amazing dinner.
Thanks to the owner for helping make our trip so successful!
Check out Stratton in the summer. A hidden gem!

The Cabell Family Papers
Practitioners of medicine in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Virginia did not believe in germs or bacteria, but that did not stop them from providing essential services to those around them. Before the massive specialization of knowledge that would characterize the nineteenth century, gentlemen of this era read widely in a number of fields, including medicine and science. Ministers found time to read Shakespeare and Nicholas Culpeper's London Pharmacopia, while physicians kept Milton, Locke, and Cicero on their shelves. William Cabell, who may not have had any formal training before arriving as an immigrant to Virginia, more than made up for it by purchasing dozens of medical books after his 1726 arrival. Fortunately for Cabell, medical degrees did not then a physician make; the time to read and the resources to purchase rudimentary medical supplies were more essential ingredients. But physicians also needed patients. Some learned medical skills primarily for the purpose of maintaining the health of captive patients--slaves, others for a wider constituency. Always, the ability to win the confidence of one's neighbors was the prerequisite to a vibrant practice. | |
Gentleman physicians of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries very often practiced their craft on communities of enslaved African Americans. Eager to protect his investment in persons, William Byrd II (1674-1744), for example, taught himself medicine. The most common maladies plaguing slaves were respiratory illnessess in the winter and intestinal disesases in the summer. In the nineteenth century, when the practice of leasing slaves was both more common and more regulated, slaveowners and slave-renters employed physicians to verify health problems among their bonded laborers. At right is an 1836 cerfificate signed by Robert H. Cabell, M.D. regarding the painful hernia of one such slave, Erasmus. | |
William Cabell cared for these types of problems among his slaves but also used a straightforward marketing strategy to appeal to free persons. He embraced a "no cure, no fee" policy, in which he charged only those patients who recovered! For those unfortuante ones who passed away under Cabell's care, he provided a casket free of charge. For Cabell, being a physician went hand-in-hand with his other community roles, including surveyor, vestryman, farmer, ferry operator, etc. Gaining favor among his neighbors and turning a profit in these venues were not mutually exclusive. | |
The Cabells established a family tradition of medical care, which continued into the nineteenth century when the practice of medicine became more highly regulated and formal training more of a prerequisite. Dr. George Cabell, Sr. of Lynchburg, son of Col. John Cabell, became the first to earn an official medical degree, from the University of Pennsylvania in 1790. He in turn mentored his cousin, Dr. George Cabell, Jr., who later took his own degree from Philadelphia. The tradition continued with Cabell, Jr.'s son, Dr. James L. Cabell, who became the Professor of Comparative Anatomy, Physiology, and Surgery at the University of Virginia and the president of the National Board of Health, 1876-1883. The image at the top left is from the class notebook of one of Cabell's students at the University. | |

This will be a fun-filled evening of crafts, animal encounters and activities that will earn credit towards your badge requirements and journeys! We will be playing cupid to our family pets and our furry friends at the local shelters who have no Valentine. The night will include a heart-themed S.W.A.P.s meet*, optional animal supply drive, brief presentation on wild vs. domestic animals and pet care, fun activities and tons of crafts!
*Please plan to participate and bring a heart or Valentine-themed SWAPs to exchange with your fellow Girl Scouts!
Program and activities will work towards Girl Scout badge requirements and troop work for all levels that may include, but are not limited to: Daisy-Zinni Petal, 3 Cheers for Animals: Brownie- A World of Girls: Pets and Eco-Explorer Badge. Junior: Earth Connections Badge and Amuse: Animals Habitats Badge, Cadettes- Animal Helpers Badge.
Join us for a wild day at the Zoo and earn credits towards badge requirements, achievements and electives. Scout Saturday Programs will start with a brief interactive educational program including live animal encounters, games and activities. Scout Saturdays are designed to work in conjunction with special events at the Zoo and feature activities for scouts that are related to the topic of the day and will add to your guest experience. Please take advantage of these special activities and visit the themed stations located throughout the park prior to the program start time. Information stations, games and activities will be offered at no additional charge and are open to the public 9:00am–3:00pm. Zoo admission is not included and will be required.*
*Scout Saturday Programs will work on credits towards both Cub Scout and Girl Scout Badge Requirements, depending on troop work and program topic and theme.
Come and be BeZooJeweled! Riverbanks is pleased to offer this "girls only" program in honor of Endangered Species Day again this year. This will be a fun-filled evening of jewelry making, animal encounters, conservation education and activities. As we travel through the layers of a tropical rainforest, we will introduce you to its hidden jewels, the "bling" of the jungle and the animals who reign here! Learn about what you can do to help endangered animals, save their habitats, and of course create an entire collection of your very own, unique, eco-friendly, handmade jewelry.

Spain's former prime minister Jose Maria Aznar has told a parliamentary commission into the Madrid bombings that his conscience is clear.
One hundred and ninety-one people died and more than 1,800 were injured when four packed commuter trains were bombed on 11 March this year.
Mr Aznar has been accused of misleading the country about the attacks in a failed bid for re-election.
But he said it was others who had sought to gain political advantage.
Mr Aznar's conservative Popular Party (PP) lost the general election to the Socialists three days after the attacks, which many Spaniards believe were carried out in retaliation for Spain's support of the US-led war in Iraq.
The former prime minister has been criticised for being too quick to blame the attack on the armed Basque separatist group Eta instead of Islamic extremists.
But Mr Aznar said that the Socialist leader and current Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero had told him by telephone on the day of the attacks that "it made no difference to him whether it was Eta or al-Qaeda".
'Great lie'
Mr Aznar began his 40-minute appearance by remembering the victims of the attack, saying his government's security forces acted quickly and efficiently in the aftermath of the bombings.
He said it was unfair to accuse him of being eager to blame Eta, because others had come to that same conclusion first.
"We told the truth about what we knew," he said.
Mr Aznar accused "opposition parties and media known for their anti-PP obsession" of inventing "a great lie" in an attempt to discredit his government.
The BBC's Katya Adler in Madrid says the Socialist government had expected Mr Aznar's evidence to bring shame on his former administration.
But the PP disagreed, seeing Mr Aznar's testimony as a golden opportunity to prove that his government acted in good faith and put Spaniards' safety first, our correspondent adds.
A public protest outside the Spanish parliament coincided with Mr Aznar's appearance.
Its organisers said they were sickened by the Madrid bombings perpetually being used as a political football.

Changing BSODs on startup.
The three BSOD's I've seen after changing it to not auto restart are 0x0000001E, 0x00000019, and 0x0000000A. The only one I've actually seen the DMP file of is the first one and saw something about ntkrnlmp.exe.
It happens generally like a minute or two after startup and will sometimes happen twice in a row. On the 15th it happened four times though. I think that's everything I can say right now as I don't recall any other major details. Was looking through some other threads and saw another issue someone was having that seemed similar to me. I don't know if any of it is related but I guess any additional information might be useful. The guy said youtube freezing. The same thing has been happening to me with all instances of adobe flash. Random freezing in a video or just the sound turning off requiring me to pause and unpause the video or stream to fix it. I've also been seeing a lot of popups from my norton 360 app saying it is blocking attacks. Can't recall what their names are because the main norton app won't open up though I am able to use the quick scan function and some others on right click in the task bar. I have downloaded malware bytes and that has found some trojans before that I have removed. Did say something about svchost.exe, but I haven't even seen that in my processes. They were removed. |

Hi thenecessity Press <ENTER> If found corrupted files run a couple more times with Restarts in between the tests. I see that there is a problem with SYMEVENT64x86.SYS which belongs to Norton Internet Security I see you also have Norton 360 installed. Uninstall NIS if you have that installed. I see that eeventmanager.exe caused a blue screen. That program belongs to your epson software event manager. Reinstall that Software. Run a SFC /scannow from an elevated Command Prompt Click on type in CMD inside the Search programs and files box . Right click on CMD under Programs (1) choose Run as administrator . On the User Access Control window click on the Yes button. Inside Command Prompt the path will open up to C:\Windows\System32>_ . Type SFC /SCANNOW
Run Chkdsk in the command prompt once done with SFC Type chksk /F /R
Once that is done you will also test your RAM . Look at the link below . Yuu will need a USB flash drive to perform the test. RAM - Test with Memtest86+ |

OK had a look through your files and noticed a few things right off the bat:
First it seems that your carsh is beinf caused by Norton: Code:
fffff880`077e0a28 fffff880`03e0f089Unable to load image \??\C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\SYMEVENT64x86.SYS, Win32 error 0n2 *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for SYMEVENT64x86.SYS *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for SYMEVENT64x86.SYS SYMEVENT64x86+0xf089 The next thing I not is that you are running both Norton and McAfee, this is a terrible idea both are known to cause BSODs and running two realtime protection Anti Virus programs at the same time is just asking for trouble. PLease remove both of them with their respective removal tools, Notron, McAfee. Then replace them with a combination of Microsoft Security Essentials, and Malwarebytes Antimalware. Tip when installing malwarebytes be sure to uncheck the box offering to start a free trial. |

I've removed the Epson Event Manager, and am currently doing the system file check.
I do not have Norton Internet Security installed so thats definitely something. I guess I'll have to remove norton, thanks for letting me know that much. I had already removed mcafee though, just after I had uploaded the zip file. The file check is now done, and it has found some corrupt files it wasn't able to fix. Should I upload the log? I can't find the googleupdater on my computer. |

Google updater I believe is your browser . |

Well, I found google update in my program files folder of the C: directory. Looks like its something that is mostly unused. Whatever program I added that brought this with it just isn't there anymore so I just need to figure out how to remove this. It wasn't in the processes when I checked but it was in the services section of task manager.
Uhh. The google update folder had just disappeared. Didn't delete it myself, but now its just not there. It also disappeared from the services. |

The snap of gloved fists against swinging punching bags echoes off the walls of Undisputed Fitness & Training as boxers of all levels train, fight, or spar in an oversized cage. While activity sometimes centers on the cage, expert, passionate trainers also lead intense programs such as muay-thai boxing and mixed-martial-arts training on a new indoor field-turfed combat conditioning area. Fitness gurus can also meander to the new addition of the outdoor weight room, pumping iron in the afternoon sun or the light of a never-ending eclipse. Undisputed Fitness & Training also hosts group classes and personal training sessions that accommodate all levels of experience.
Apus Air's instructors love sharing the joy of flight with anyone willing to learn, especially international students. They offer everything from casual discovery flights to commercial pilot certification and the training of private pilots in multiple languages. They teach their commercial pilot course apace, usually completing the program in about six months with weekend sessions available, and they teach all of their lessons in one-on-one settings at the student's pace. This allows instructors to make sure students have a firm grasp of equipment and procedures, maximize time spent in the air, and get used to seeing birds up close.

The unit, which also includes DeVries, recorded $1.3bn (£776m) in revenues for 2013. US agency Carmichael Lynch Spong operates outside of CMG.
In the final quarter of 2013 the unit reported organic revenue growth of 11.7 per cent to $374.8m (£224m).
Weber Shandwick global CEO Andy Polansky said IPG's PR agencies in CMG saw "double-digit growth in the quarter and high single-digit growth for the year" adding that they "continue to outperform the sector".
"We're seeing higher spending from existing clients," he said about his agency, noting that social and digital are key factors in the firm's growth, as well as its Mediaco content-creation and distribution unit. Polansky also cited a "very strong year in public affairs in 2013".
Weber's Q4 business was bolstered by recent business wins from Chobani, Getty Images and TripAdvisor in the US, and Burger King in the UK and Ireland.
Overall, Interpublic reported full-year revenue of $7.1 billion, up 2.8 per cent organically compared with the prior year. Fourth-quarter overall revenue was $2.12 billion, an organic increase of 3.7 per cent compared with Q4 2012.
Fourth-quarter 2013 operating income was $324.4 million, down 20.9 per cent from the year prior. For 2013, operating income was $598.3 million, a decrease of 11.8 per cent compared with 2012.
Net income in the fourth quarter was $212.1 million, down 37.1 per cent from the year prior, while full-year net income was down 37.8 per cent to $288.9 million.
Broken down by geography, US growth outpaced that of international markets. In the fourth quarter, US revenue grew 6.9 per cent organically compared with 0.5 per cent internationally, while US organic revenue growth was up 3.7 per cent in full-year 2013 versus 1.7 per cent internationally.
Earlier this week, Omnicom Group reported a 3.7 per cent drop in fourth-quarter PR revenue and a 1.5 per cent increase for full-year 2013. Publicis Groupe, which does not break out PR revenue, said it saw 0.7 per cent growth in Q4 revenue and a 2.6 per cent organic revenue growth rate for the full year.
Organic growth represents change in revenue without taking into account the effect of acquisitions or disposals.

Stocks to Watch: Websense Jumps, Precise Software Plunges
BCE (BCE - Get Report) was gaining 22% to $17.82 after the company said it would cut long-term funding to Teleglobe and announced that it had named a new chief executive. BCE said Jean C. Monty resigned as chairman and CEO, effective immediately. Michael J. Sabia will be the new chief executive and Richard J. Currie will take over as nonexecutive chairman. Gundle/SLT Environmental (GSE - Get Report), a provider of geosynthetic lining systems for waste management, mining and other uses, was up 25% to $7.75 a day after the company reported a first-quarter profit of $22.3 million, or $2.02 a share, including a gain from the purchase of Serrot International. Before items, Gundle lost $1.6 million, or 14 cents a share, including a charge of 5 cents a share.
Closeout retailer Mazel Stores (MAZL) was up big for the second straight day on the heels of the company's strong quarterly earnings report. The stock was gaining 24% to $6.05 Wednesday, a day after adding 50% to its value. PEC Solutions (PECS), a professional technology services firm, was rising 17% to $22.04 as analysts upgraded the stock following its latest earnings announcement. The company earned 14 cents a share in the latest quarter, up from 10 cents a year ago. Pixelworks (PXLW), a maker of integrated circuits for computer displays, was better by 18% to $10.65 after its quarterly report. According to generally accepted accounting principles, the company lost 9 cents a share in the first quarter, compared with a loss of 87 cents in the same period a year ago. Excluding items, the company earned 3 cents. Websense (WBSN) was climbing 22% to $26.27 a day after the company, a designer of software that helps firms track worker productivity, reported first-quarter earnings of 11 cents a share, reversing a loss of 2 cents a share a year earlier.
Hormel (HRL) was dropping 7% to $25.22 after the food company lowered its second-quarter earnings guidance to a range of 20 cents to 24 cents a share. Previously, the company expected to earn 30 cents to 34 cents, and analysts are looking for a bottom line of 31 cents. The company blamed the expected shortfall on a Russian ban on poultry imports, which "has caused a temporary oversupply of protein in the market. Retailers have been aggressively promoting low prices for chicken, which has resulted in an oversupply of other proteins," Hormel said in a press release. "These factors, along with production expansion in the turkey industry, have intensified the short-term pricing pressure on turkey and pork." Hard disk drive maker Maxtor (MXO) fell 9% to $6.57 after the company swung to a loss in the latest quarter from a profit in the comparable prior-year period. Railroad operator Norfolk Southern (NSC) was losing 6% to $21.60 after the company said first-quarter income from continuing operations climbed to $86 million, or 22 cents a share, from $61 million, or 16 cents a share, a year earlier, excluding a gain. Analysts were expecting earnings of 23 cents in the latest quarter. Revenue slipped to just under $1.5 billion from $1.54 billion in the year-ago quarter. Biopharmaceutical company Novavax (NVAX - Get Report) was diving 24% to $7.99 after a small research house cut its rating on the stock. The research outfit, ThinkEquity, downgraded the stock to buy from strong buy, citing worries about the company's cancellation of a planned marketing trip. PDF Solutions (PDFS), a provider of semiconductor process-design integration technologies and services, was losing 22% to $13.15 after posting first-quarter revenue of $11.5 million, and earnings, excluding items, of 6 cents a share. Precise Software (PRSE) was plunging 31% to $13.10 a day after the company reported quarterly revenue that came in short of expectations. The company said first-quarter revenue rose 49% to $17.1 million, while earnings, before items, totaled 2 cents a share. Analysts expected a top line of $17.9 million and earnings of 2 cents. At least two analysts cut their price targets and revenue estimates for the company after the report.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

After spending a few days in Great Britain, the Cafe World two-year anniversary extravaganza has moved onto the Philippines, where we'll meet Master Chef Manny in a new set of goals called "Manny's Journey." Through these goals, we'll be introduced to four new dishes, but of course, they won't simply be handed to you. You'll need to finish the Manny's Journey goals multiple times in order to unlock all of the prizes, which include a 50% Lightning Stove (that would reduce the time it takes your dishes to cook by 50%). Here's a complete guide to these new goals.
As a note, we weren't told by Zynga whether or not these goals contain the same dishes for all users across the entire game, or if they vary as in past goal sets. If you notice any differences in your own game, this will likely be the cause.
Manny's Journey 1
- Ask for 3 Old Filipino Recipe Cards
- Place the Roasting Pit
- Serve 20 Fish n Chips
You'll start this goal series out serving Fish n Chips which takes two hours to prepare. You can wait for those to cook while asking your friends to send you the Old Filipino Recipe Cards, and can finish off this goal by placing the base to your new Roasting Pit. Yes, there's a building project to go along with these goals, and
Manny's Journey 2
- Ask for 6 Filipino Postcards
- Spice 6 Neighbors Dishes
- Serve 20 Gnocchi Gianna
The Gnocchi Gianna takes six hours to prepare, and is unlocked while completing the Pasta Maker goals. For finishing this goal, you'll receive 20 Travel Passes.
Manny's Journey 3
- Ask for 10 New Filipino Recipe Cards
- Collect 4 Anniversary Collection items
- Serve 30 Broiled Rainbow Trout
Anniversary Collection items are earned by using spices on your dishes, while Broiled Rainbow Trout takes 12 hours to cook (at the very least, this gives you plenty of time to collect spices if you don't earn the four Anniversary Collection items after running through your supply). Finish this goal to receive 25 Travel Passes.
Manny's Journey 4
- Ask for 8 Filipino Postcards
- Serve 12 Cafe Bombon
- Serve 30 Osso Bucco
Osso Bucco takes 18 hours to prepare, giving you plenty of time to collect these Postcards from friends. As for the Cafe Bombon, this is a Specialty Coffee Drink that can only be served after you've hired Becky the Barista to work in your cafe. It costs 55 Energy for 10 Servings, so you'll need to prepare it twice in order to reach the total required number of 12 servings. You've almost reached the finale at this point, and finishing this particular goal gives you 30 Travel Passes.
Manny's Journey 5
- Ask for 12 Dirty Filipino Recipe Cards
- Serve 18 Acai Blueberry Juice
- Complete the Roasting Pit
Once again, the Acai Blueberry Juice must be served from a machine - this time the Drink Bar. It's not available until after you've hired Beverly Bartender. Once you finish this goal, you'll have finished off Manny's Journey, and will receive 500 Travel Passes. You'll also receive one of four new dishes, from a selection of Beef Mechado, Filipino Paella, Lechon and Sisig.
To be especially clear, completing this goal series the first time only gives you a single recipe, and it looks like you'll need to complete the entirety of these goals another three times to unlock the remaining three recipes. These goals (along with your chance to repeat the British goals) will expire in 10 days, so you'll want to make sure and complete as many goals as quickly as possible to stand the biggest chance of unlocking everything in time.
What do you think of these Manny's Journey goals? Do you think they're easier, or more difficult than Winston's Royals goals? Sound off in the comments.

What better way to welcome autumn than with some scrumptious pumpkin, Nutella (need I say more?!) muffins!
This "toddler-friendly" recipe is a variation of my baby-friendly "Pumpkin Spice Muffin Bites." It's a little more indulgent but still relatively healthy as I substituted the butter with coconut oil (yes, it IS healthy in small doses...not convinced? Check out my post, "Coocoo for Coconut Oil"). Also, in my original version I substituted eggs with ground flax seed (my son was still under a year old when I came up with the recipe) so there is always that option if you prefer an egg-free version.
These muffins were a hit, I mean how couldn't they be?! (I don't mean to boast here...I'm just assuming that most people like pumpkin, and who doesn't like Nutella?!)
My husband, for one, isn't a big fan of pumpkin (of course he grew up on Nutella) but this delicious combination had him at the first bite! On the other hand, there was no question as to whether or not my son would love them!
(Makes about 12-14 muffins)
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup extra-virgin coconut oil, melted (or unsweetened applesauce)
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
With a hand or stand mixer whisk eggs for about 2 minutes or until light and frothy.
Add sugar, vanilla, pumpkin puree, and coconut oil (I nuked the coconut oil for 20 seconds or so and let it cool slightly before adding to the egg mixture).
Whisk all wet ingredients again until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Add the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.
Spray muffin liners with cooking spray and fill each about 3/4 from the top with batter.
*Tip: I like to use an ice cream scoop so all the muffins are the same size!
Scoop about 1/2 tsp. of Nutella onto each muffin. With a toothpick, swirl the Nutella
into the batter until combined.
*Tip: the Nutella is very dense so in retrospect it would have been a good idea to heat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, making the "swirling" step a bit easier!
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Set aside and allow to cool before removing from the muffin tin.
Hmm...could spreading even more Nutella onto a Nutella swirl pumpkin muffin make it even tastier?!
What's your favourite savoury or decadent pumpkin recipe?

On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, Darkroom Dubs will release its third compilation in February. Founded by Glasgow duo Silicone Soul in 2003, Darkroom Dubs favors tech house aimed squarely at early-morning dance floors.

I start at my own shadow and am full of all sorts of horrible imaginings…") Every few years, Silicone Soul have rounded up tracks for a label retrospective. Their latest comes two years after Darkroom Dubs Vol.2 and features originals from Alex Niggemann & Marc Poppcke, Freska and Silicone Soul themselves, plus remixes from Robag Wruhme and Of Norway. The label has set a February release date for Vol. 3, and promised a busy release schedule for 2013, including an official ten-year anniversary compilation with new material from label regulars and friends of the family.

Since first appearing on Scotland's seminal Soma label in 1998, DJ-production duo Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie, aka Silicone Soul, have occupied a special place in the over-crowded field of electronic dance music through the depth and quality of their recordings, plus an innate understanding of music's grand heritage and its constant development. Having released four critically acclaimed albums, holding residencies at some of Europe's most celebrated clubs, scooping numerous DJ Mag award nominations and even refusing to appear on Top Of The Pops after storming the UK charts with 'Right On'. Silicone Soul lead the way celebrating ten years of their Darkroom Dubs label while winning dance floors across the world. View the full artist profile
