text: By RICK KLEIN This is a fun day to play an old game: What would we be buzzing about if George W. Bush was still president? What, that is, would the storyline be the day after a fighter jet and a plane used as Air Force One spooked New York City, all for a photo op? And two days after the president went golfing in the midst of a "public health emergency"? President Obama probably doesn't have to find out — and therein rests a very big secret to his early success. This is Day 99, and proclamations to the contrary notwithstanding, the honeymoon is not over. The president has a deep (and maybe still deepening) reservoir of public support — including, perhaps most significantly, a claim on the nation's optimism. Another poll confirms it: The country wants Obama to succeed, even if the nation is a smidge less sure of what that success should look like. Yet presidencies rise and fall on crises, and Obama continues to get a constant stream. Swine flu has made interrogation memos somehow less urgent — and Tuesday Capitol Hill gets into the game, with Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, jumping the line to chair the first congressional hearing, at 1 pm ET. If you don't think the White House gets the politics, you're just wrong: "The Obama administration dispatched high-level officials from several agencies Monday to allay concerns about swine flu and to demonstrate that it was fully prepared to confront the outbreak even as the president said there was 'not a cause for alarm,' " Robert Pear and Gardiner Harris write for The New York Times. "As the administration responds to its first domestic emergency, it is building on concrete preparations made during the tenure of President George W. Bush that have won praise from public health experts. But its actions are also informed by what Mr. Bush learned in his response to Hurricane Katrina: that political management of a crisis, and of public expectations, can be as important as the immediate response." "Aides said they were mindful that how the president conducted himself in this period, both substantively and stylistically, would be long remembered. But they adamantly rejected the idea that this situation was at all comparable to that of the hurricanes that devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005," Pear and Harris write. How often does the White House put out statements from foreign governments? "Mr. Felipe Solis, Director of Mexico's National Anthropology Museum died on April 23rd, a week after he welcomed Presidents Obama and Calderon at the Museum," said Ricardo Alday, spokesman for the Mexican Embassy to the US, said in a statement emailed to White House reporters, ABC's Jake Tapper reports. "He died of complications of a preexisting condition and not of swine flu." "Swine flu politics is back. It helped claim the career of a president more than 30 years ago. As if Barack Obama needed any more headaches," Craig Crawford writes for CQ Politics. Losing message control: "Given the attention being paid to the swine flu, it's hard to imagine that by Wednesday the nation will be interested in anything else but whether there are any more than the 40 known cases of the disease in the United States and what if anything can be done to stop is spread," Washingtonpost.com's Chris Cillizza writes on White House plans to mark the 100th day. You know it's going to be asked (and Sunday's golf outing will provide the ready comparisons): "Will swine flu turn out to be President Obama's Katrina times a thousand?" Michelle Richmond blogs for the San Francisco Chronicle. The Boston Globe editorializes: "The swine flu outbreak offers an unexpected political challenge for President Obama, and a readiness test for the nation's public health system. So far, Obama is doing what he can to send the right message to the public: Don't panic over the swine flu threat, but don't ignore it either." "Back when we were ducking and covering in fear of a Soviet attack, these first few cases of swine flu might have gone undetected. Like most flu outbreaks, this one probably will be contained. In the meantime, I'm going to wash my hands a lot more often than usual," Eugene Robinson writes in The Washington Post. Your government in action: "Congress rushed to respond Monday to the swine flu outbreak as the death toll south of the border mounted, the Obama administration urged Americans to avoid travel to Mexico, and fears of a worldwide pandemic grew," Roll Call's Steven T. Dennis writes. "Reports of swine flu outbreaks have come in from five different states so far, but all Washington has caught is a contagious case of finger-pointing," Politico's Erika Lovley writes. Those vacancies were bound to matter at some point: "President Obama's administration is attempting to implement a never-before-tested pandemic response plan while dozens of key public health and emergency response jobs in the administration remain vacant," Michael D. Shear and Spencer S. Hsu write in The Washington Post. "An immediate pandemic outbreak would pose immense challenges to a presidential team operating without much experience and without a long-standing plan. A National Pandemic Strategy and Implementation Plan was developed in 2005 and 2006, but has never been fully tested." "Having the top 20 unfilled is a significant problem for the long term," said Michael Leavitt, HHS Secretary under President Bush. Who's in charge here? "Faced with the international outbreak of swine flu and mounting concern about the threat to Americans, the Obama administration is relying on a member of the president's Cabinet with almost no background in medicine: Janet Napolitano, the secretary of Homeland Security," Noam Levey writes in the Los Angeles Times. "Napolitano's visibility has been further elevated because the posts of secretary of Health and Human Services, surgeon general and director of the CDC have not been filled. The White House has repeatedly said that those vacancies were not handicapping the government's response to the flu outbreak." "A review of The Washington Post's Head Count appointee tracking project finds that Obama has tapped five people for HHS jobs including Sebelius, but still needs to fill 15 other positions. When finally confirmed, they will hire staff to fill out other key roles across the federal health policy system," Ed O'Keefe writes at The Washington Post's "Federal Eye" blog. "Philharmonics play without a conductor," a top federal health official told ABC's Lisa Stark and Kate Barrett. "There are a lot of people 'round who have been breathing this stuff for a long time." Bad timing for a budget cut: Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, is drawing bloggers' ire for her role in cutting $870 million for pandemic flu. "Her office put out a statement this afternoon in which her Communications Director defends the cut in stimulus funding for pandemic flu preparedness and says Collins simply wanted flu funding to go through normal channels," ABC's Z. Byron Wolf reports. Plenty of questions to be asked: "Congress over the past four years has trimmed federal spending aimed at fighting a flu pandemic, most recently in this year's stimulus bill," Stephen Dinan writes in the Washington Times. Here on Day 99, Obama will get his full Cabinet (remember when he was setting a record pace for nominations?): Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, D-Kan., is on track to be confirmed by the Senate as HHS secretary Tuesday. "Overhauling health care was going to be tough enough for Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius," McClatchy's David Goldstein writes. "However, the growing scare over swine flu is likely to command her attention, if, as expected, the Senate on Tuesday confirms her as secretary of health and human services, the final vacancy in President Barack Obama's Cabinet." The budget is moving along in Congress this week — with a House vote possible Tuesday, and final passage possible in the Senate in time for Wednesday night's press conference. President Obama makes a late morning stop at the FBI, and hosts members of Congress at the White House in the afternoon. Also commanding attention: angry New Yorkers. "As secret missions go, this one was a flop," Suzanne Sataline, Jonathan D. Rockoff and Christopher Conkey write in The wall Street Journal. "On Monday morning, one of the 747s used to ferry around the U.S. president was dispatched to the Statue of Liberty, escorted by a fighter jet. Assignment: Get some fresh glamour shots of the plane. The Air Force said the flight needed to remain confidential. So while New York police knew about it, as did at least one person in the mayor's office, regular New Yorkers remained in the dark." "SCARE FORCE ONE," screams the New York Post. " 'Air Farce One' played out over lower Manhattan yesterday — in a terrifyingly bizarre military photo op that sent office workers fleeing from their buildings fearing a new 9/11-type attack," Murray Weiss, David Seifman, and Jeremy Olshan write. (And check out Robert Gibbs' photo in the graphic of the flight plan.) "Flashback to 9/11," and "Plane stupid," read the New York Daily News headlines. "Sources said the chief reason for the panic-inducing flight was to create souvenir pictures of Air Force One flying over the Statue of Liberty to be given out — like a presidential tie clip — to family, friends or supporters," Ken Bazinet and company write. Your cool, calm president: "A White House official tells ABC News that President Obama was 'furious' to hear about the incident this morning when Air Force One and Air Force fighter jets appeared to be flying into the Manhattan skyline," ABC's Jake Tapper reports. "When President Obama was told about the incident, he was 'furious,' a White House official says. [Louis] Caldera was called into a meeting with White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina. 'It didn't sound like a fun meeting,' the White House official says." "Still, federal officials provided few details and wouldn't say why the public and area building security managers weren't notified. They also wouldn't address why someone thought it was a wise decision to send two jets into New York City, all for a few photos with the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop," per the AP's Sara Kuglerula Ilnytzky. In the meantime, that 100th day narrative takes hold: "Americans seem to have high hopes for the president; 72 percent said they were optimistic about the next four years. By and large, Americans expect him to make significant progress in health care, energy and immigration policy, issues central to his ambitious domestic agenda," Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Marjorie Connelly write in The New York Times, on the new NYT/CBS poll. "But while Americans clearly have faith in Mr. Obama, the poll revealed something of a disconnect between what the public thinks the president has already accomplished and what it expects him to achieve," they write. "Fewer than half of those surveyed, 48 percent, said Mr. Obama had begun to make progress on one of his major campaign promises, changing the way business is conducted in Washington. And just 39 percent said he had begun to make progress on another major promise, cutting taxes for middle-class Americans, even though the stimulus bill he signed into law does include a middle class tax cut." Will only outside events matter? "For now, what Republicans have to realize is that they have little power to affect Obama's popularity. If it falls, it will be because of what he does, and not because of Republican strategy. All the GOP can do is be ready when the time comes," Byron York writes in his Washington Examiner column. Is the argument over the first 100 days over? "It's the next 1,361 days that should be the worry. Obama's presidency will be defined by how he handles the stresses inherent in his ambition domestically, his humility abroad, and his polarizing approach politically," National Review's Rich Lowry writes. "Fired by the belief history was on his side, Bush made a play for the ages. Obama is doing the same. That much is clear after 100 Days." Not even asking IF he's a success: "The real question is, why has Obama been so successful?" Fareed Zakaria writes for Newsweek. "Many commentators have focused on his calm leadership style, his deliberative methods and his tight teamwork. That's all true, but there is a larger explanation for the success so far. Obama has read the country and the political moment correctly. He understands that America in 2009 is in a very different place now." "Barack Obama has used the first 100 days of his presidency to repudiate the go-it-alone tone of George W. Bush's foreign policy, announcing to friends and foes alike that America will lead the world by listening to it," Bloomberg's Hans Nichols and Indira A.R. Lakshmanan report. More kind (sort of) words from GOPers: "I am pleasantly surprised," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. "He's got some very difficult problems to handle, and I think he's done well in Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan." Arianna Huffington gives out high marks: "For the last eight years, we suffered from the soft bigotry of low presidential expectations. Taken as a whole, Obama's first 100 days have been an inspiring change from a White House that expected as little from us as it did from itself. The road ahead is indeed going to be long and steep. But at least we're on the right road." Breaking Tuesday — pressure on Obama's left: "President Barack Obama is receiving a 'D' for his handling of state secrets in a "rule of law" report card prepared by fellow Democrat Russ Feingold, a Wisconsin senator who chairs a subcommittee on the Constitution," per ABC's Teddy Davis. "I recognize that some of these issues will take time, but given how important these issues are to the country, Americans deserve a fair assessment of the administration's progress," Feingold told ABC News. Per Davis: "Obama's 'D' on state secrets, which Feingold characterized as 'disturbing,' is a timely reminder that this is one area where the new president has caused concern among some progressives." From the other side: "Dr. Frank Page, one of the key conservative evangelicals on President Obama's Faith Council tells The Brody File that when it comes to the social issues surrounding President Obama's presidency he has been disappointed and not very encouraged by the first 100 days in office," David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network reports. From Treasury on Tuesday, per ABC's Matt Jaffe: "A senior administration official says that later today Treasury and HUD will release new details on efforts to help 'bring relief to responsible homeowners under the Administration's Making Home Affordable Program, including an effort to achieve greater affordability for homeowners by lowering payments on their second mortgages as well as a set of measures designed to help underwater borrowers stay in their homes.' " This would have been fun: "Watching Dick Cheney defend the Bush administration's interrogation policies, it's been hard to escape the impression that both the Republican Party and the country would be better off today if Cheney, rather than John McCain, had been a candidate for president in 2008," Ross Douthat writes in his debut column for The New York Times. "If a Cheney defeat could have been good for the Republican Party; a Cheney campaign could have been good for the country. The former vice-president's post-election attacks on Obama are bad form, of course, under the peculiar rules of Washington politesse. But they're part of an argument about the means and ends of our interrogation policy that should have happened during the general election and didn't — because McCain wasn't a supporter of the Bush-era approach, and Obama didn't see a percentage in harping on the topic." The Kicker: "It's so stupid because they tell you about every fire drill, but they didn't tell us about this." — Dominick Caglioti, Mercantile Exchange employee, on the planes that hovered low over Manhattan. "Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision. While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it's clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused." — Louis Caldera, director of the White House Military Office, taking the fall. Don't miss "Top Line," ABCNews.com's daily political Webcast, hosted Tuesday by David Chalian and Karen Travers, at noon ET.

text: My chimney leaks badly during a heavy rain; I have been unable to find a person who can tell me how to solve the problem. As I have unvented gas logs, I had the top of the chimney sealed.so it is not leaking from the top. Since I have been unable to find the leak, is there a product on the market that can be painted or sprayed on the outside of the chimney to prevent leaking? If not, do you have other suggestions? I have also thought of covering the chimney with some kind of cement or covering the present chimney with a prefab chimney. Please help! Thanks.

Description This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/589,274, filed Jan. 22, 1996. The present invention relates in general to information communication systems, and more particularly, to a wireless communication system architecture and protocols. The advent of powerful, low-cost minicomputers enabled the evolution from centralized mainframe computer architectures to distributed computer architectures connected over high-speed data networks. Distributed computer architectures now range from local networks of computers within a single office, to wide-area networks covering miles, to satellite transmission is systems covering entire global regions. In contrast to distributed computer architectures, information databases have primarily remained in a centralized architecture. Database information is therefore typically disseminated to the distributed computers over communication data links. Thus, modern distributed computer systems often require the installation of high-speed data links to transmit information between processing sites. To meet these transmission requirements, high-speed data networks have been developed to link centralized information databases with distributed computer processing sites. Installation of high-speed data links, however, often requires costly and time consuming setup of high-capacity communication lines. Moreover, deployment of high-speed data links in remote field locations not served by the existing communication infrastucture is extremely difficult. Today's communication infrastructure also includes various communication systems intended to serve other communication needs. For example, broadcast and cable television systems enable television programming to reach millions of viewers. In comparison, the public telephone network allows one subscriber to connect with another subscriber. Cellular telephone networks have extended traditional telephone service beyond the home and office to mobile subscribers. In addition, orbiting earth satellites can communicate with virtually unlimited numbers of users over large geographical areas, including areas not reached by traditional terrestrial communication systems. Service providers have also made extensive local and wide-area computer network systems accessible to the public. Such computer networks now allow users access to on-line news, sports, video and audio programming, information databases, and other computer resources such as the Internet. These communication system are primarily designed to operate as an independent system with a transmission bandwidth capacity appropriate to serve the intended application. For example, telephone systems are primarily designed to handle low-bandwidth voice and data traffic. Accordingly, telephone systems typically support relatively low-bandwidth transmission at 9.6 kilo-bits per second (kbps). In comparison, computer networks designed to process real-time data or handle large amounts of digital data, such as an information database or graphical images, usually operate at a higher transmission bandwidth. A typical Ethernet computer network, for example, transmits at 10 megabits-per-second (mbps) for enhanced networks. Satellite communication systems designed to transmit full-motion digital video images may require even higher bandwidth equipment capable of transmitting 10 mbps or more. In addition, communication systems may employ different methodologies to distribute information. Telephone networks primarily form point-to-point connections to connect a single subscriber to another subscriber. Computer networks typically allow a number of network nodes to access a number of other network nodes. In comparison, broadcast systems, such as a television or satellite broadcast system, typically allow one communication source to communicate with a large number of receivers. The differences between communication systems in bandwidth rates and distribution methodology limits the interconnection and integration of heterogenous communication systems. For example, communication systems of different bandwidth rates typically cannot be connected without compensating for their different transmission rates. A 2 Mbps communication network, for example, cannot directly handle the volume of data transmitted from a faster 10 mbps system. In addition, consideration should also be given to the different manner in which systems disseminate information. Communications transported via broadcast systems are typically modified to integrate with point-to-point communication systems. Compatibility issues thus arise when interconnecting systems with different bandwidth rates and different distribution schemes. Connectivity between different communication systems may therefore be limited. Furthermore, communication systems suffer from inherent transmission propagation delays associated with transmitting information over long distances and processing delays in distributing updated information across the system. For example, transmitting a data signal up to a geosynchronous satellite orbiting 35786 kilometers above the earth's equator and back down to a receiving earth station incurs about a quarter second transmission propagation delay. Transmitting a return signal from the receiving earth station incurs another quarter second delay. In addition to transmission propagation delays, distributed information systems may also incur processing delays in distributing updated information to users. A typical distributed information system requires users to specifically request or poll the information source to receive updated information. Waiting for a specific polling request, however, delays the distribution of updated information. While transmission propagation delays are inherent to the transmission of signals and cannot be eliminated, a communication system architecture and protocols can be implemented to minimize the effects of processing delays in distributing updated information to users. The present invention relates to an architecture and protocols for a flexible multimedia communication dissemination system which combines satellite transmission systems, terrestrial wireless networks, and the public telephone system. Providing for the interconnection and integration between these various communication systems allows a high-speed communication system to be quickly deployed. In one aspect of the invention, the communication system includes a broadcast server for broadcasting an information signal, and a mobile base station for receiving the information signal broadcast from the broadcast server. A local area network distributes information received by the mobile base station. In the preferred embodiment, the broadcast server includes a satellite uplink facility capable of accessing an information database and transmitting an information signal over a space segment. The mobile base station receives the transmitted information signal and operates the local area network. The local area network is preferably a wireless communication network which disseminates information to a number of mobile users. In another aspect of the invention, a mobile base station includes a receiver for receiving information signals transmitted from a broadcast server, a network interface for distributing processed information signals, and a software proxy process for processing information signals transmitted from the broadcast server. In the preferred embodiment, the mobile base station receives an information signal transmitted via the space segment. The network interface preferably implements a mobile wireless network to allow flexibility in deploying the local area network. The mobile network also enables users to use the system in different locations. The software proxy process provides the interface between the mobile base station and the local area network. In yet another aspect of the invention, the mobile base station includes a software proxy process to control the dissemination of information through the network. The software proxy process provides filter and protocol functions to facilitate interconnection between different communication systems. A bandwidth-based filtering process matches the bandwidth of the space segment to the bandwidth of the local area network. A user-based filtering process minimizes the bandwidth impact upon the space segment bandwidth when a number of mobile users are accessing similar database information. An active broadcast protocol minimizes latency delays associated with updating information across a distributed network. The present invention allows several heterogenous communication systems to be integrated to form a high-speed communication system capable of transmitting multimedia data. Differences in bandwidth capacity and distribution methodology may be resolved by the software proxy of the mobile base station. The software proxy process integrates heterogenous communication systems and reduces the overall network load by reducing unnecessary transmissions. The integration of heterogeneous communication systems enables high-capacity data networks to be quickly deployed. Remote installations may be reached by a satellite covering a large geographical area. Wireless and mobile technology allows the system to be rapidly deployed with minimal equipment installation requirements. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed. The invention, together with the further objects and intended advantages, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a communication system constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the mobile base station and local area network of FIG. 1. FIGS. 3a-3 b show diagrams of the bandwidth-based filtering of the mobile base station of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 shows a diagram of the user-based filtering of the mobile base station of FIG. 1. FIG. 5 shows a diagram of the active broadcast protocol of the mobile base of FIG. 1. Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a communication system 20. The system 20 preferably includes a broadcast server 22, a space segment 24, and a mobile base station 26. The mobile base station 26 disseminates information to the mobile users 30 through a local area network 32. The broadcast server 26 uplinks an information signal 40 via space segment 24 to transmit information to the mobile base station 26. The communication system 20 enables mobile users 30 to access and transmit information from a source or database 36 through the mobile base station 26. The broadcast server 22 accesses the information source or database 36 containing different types of information required by the mobile users 30. The broadcast server 22 preferably transmits the information database 36 via the space segment 24. Broadcast server preferably compresses, error-codes, multiplexes, and amplifies an information signal 40 for transmission via the space segment 24 using conventional digital satellite transmission techniques. Broadcast server 22 preferably includes a high-power amplifier and large aperture 23 antenna for uplinking signals to space segment 24. Hughes Network System's commercially available DirecPC� service, for example, provides a broadcast server 22 and space segment 24. The DirecPC� Operations Center accesses information database 36 for delivery over the space segment 24. The space segment 24 may be implemented using a satellite transponder with a footprint covering the geographical region where the mobile base station 26 is located. Preferably, a digital satellite transponder capable of transmitting a high-power direct broadcast satellite (DBS) signal is utilized to provide space segment 24. For example, DirecPC� uses a Ku-band satellite transponder to transmit information in the information database 36 via an information signal 40 to the mobile base station 26. Referring to FIG. 2, the mobile base station 26 preferably receives the information signal 40 on a small satellite receive antenna 27. The DirecPC� satellite receive antenna uses a 24-inch parabolic offset reflector to receive the information signal 40 from space segment 24. The receive antenna includes a feed horn (not shown) to receive Ku-band, linearly polarized signals. The feed horn preferably converts the received Ku-band satellite signals in the 11.7 to 12.2 GHz frequency range to a L-band signal in the 950 to 2000 MHz range. The L-band signal is transmitted along a coaxial cable to the satellite receiver/decoder electronics. It should be understood that the frequency of the information signal 40 transmitted via space segment 24 will vary to match the particular satellite frequency assignment. The satellite receiver/decoder 44 decompresses, decodes, and demultiplexes the received information signal 40 using conventional digital techniques for satellite communications. The satellite receiver/decoder 44 is preferably implemented with software and logic including a logic processor with associated read-only-memory (ROM) and random-access-memory (RAM). The DirecPC� space segment transmitting at 12 Mbps typically requires a dedicated processor or other dedicated receive hardware. One skilled in the art will recognize that other equivalent forms of logic such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) may be used to implement the logic of satellite receiver/decoder 44. DirecPC� provides the satellite receiver/decoder 44 electronics on a 16-bit ISA adapter card to allow installation in a standard IBM compatible personal computer (PC). Accordingly, the mobile base station 26 may be implemented with a IBM compatible PC running MS Windows 3.11. A DirecPC� software driver controls the operation of the satellite receiver/decoder 44 and the decoding of the information signal 40. The DirecPC� software driver provides the received database information transmitted from the broadcast server 22 via the space segment 24 to the mobile base station 26. The mobile base station 26 preferably stores database information transmitted from broadcast server 22. Mobile base station 26 thus includes memory 50 for storing database information. The mobile base station 26 stores database information according to the multiplexing and dissemination protocol of the broadcast server 22, which is described below in more detail. Referring again to FIG. 2, the mobile base station 26 includes a local area network 32 to disseminate database information to mobile users 30. The local area network 32 connects the mobile users 30 to mobile base station 26. The mobile base station 26 operates as the network server with the mobile users 30 as network clients. The local area network 32 is a wireless mobile network to allow mobile users 30 to establish operation in various locations. A wireless network allows mobile users 30 to quickly connect to the network without requiring hard-wired connections and enables networking where hard-wired installations are not feasible. A mobile network allows mobile users 30 to remain in communication with the mobile base station 26 while allowing them to roam freely within the range of the wireless network. For example, a wireless local area network (LAN) can be implemented with IBM compatible PCs and AT&T's commercially available WaveLAN product. AT&T WaveLAN includes a network interface card (NIC) 33 with network software to control mobile network operation, and an antenna 35 for transmitting and receiving signals The WaveLAN NIC 33 is available in both PC AT bus format and Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) Type II format for portable laptop computers. The WaveLAN antenna 35 is equipped with an 18-inch cable to allow the antenna to rest on a desktop or other worksurface. WaveLAN uses 900 MHz spread spectrum technology to implement an Ethernet type CSMA/CA (collision sense multiple access/collision avoidance) wireless network scheme with a 2 Mbps data rate. Transmitting at an output power of 250 mW, the wireless network provides a range of 600 to 800 feet in open space. It should be understood that those skilled in the art may use a time-division or frequency-division multiplexed scheme operating at different frequencies to implement the wireless network scheme. of course, network protocols other than Ethernet or data rates other than 2 Mbps may be utilized. Mobile users 30 preferably include IBM compatible PCs equipped with the WaveLAN NIC, antenna, and software. In the most preferred embodiment, mobile users 30 include a portable laptop PC equipped with PCMCIA WaveLAN NICs. Mobile users 30 are configured according to the desired application. The mobile users 30 are thus able to communicate with the mobile base station 26 through the WaveLAN network 32. The combination of a portable computer with the wireless network maximizes the transportability and flexibility of the system. Referring again to FIG. 1, communication uplink 34 enables the mobile base station 26 to communicate with the broadcast server 22. The communication uplink 34 allows the mobile base station 26 to communicate information such as service requests from mobile users 30 to the broadcast server 22. For example, a mobile user 30 may wish to access the information database 36. The mobile user 30 sends the access service request via the communication uplink 34. The communication uplink 34 is preferably provided via a cellular telephone connection to the broadcast server. A conventional cellular modem 37 is used to establish the connection to the broadcast server 22. The communication uplink may also be provided by a conventional modem and a land-line telephone connection. Using a wireless cellular telephone connection, however, maximizes the transportability and flexibility of the mobile users. The communication base system 20 distributes the information database 36 to a number of mobile users 30. Service requests from the mobile users are sent over the local area network 32 to the mobile base station 26. The mobile base station 26 relays the service request over the communication uplink 34 to broadcast server 22. The broadcast server 22 accesses the information database 36 for the requested information. The broadcast server 22 packages the requested database information and transmits it over the space segment 24. The mobile base station 26 receives the database information transmitted over the space segment 24 and disseminates the information over the local area network 32 to the mobile user(s) 30. Referring to FIG. 2, the mobile base station 26 preferably includes a software proxy process 39 to control the disseminate of information to the mobile users 30. For example, a baseband-based filtering scheme as shown in FIG. 3a matches the space segment 24 bandwidth to the local area network 32. The space segment 24 information signal 40 preferably has a transmission bandwidth (B1) of about 12 Mbps whereas the local area network 32 typically has a lower transmission bandwidth (B2) of only 2 Mbps. Bandwidth-based filtering compensates for the bandwidth mismatch between the 12 Mbps data rate of the space segment 24 and the 2 Mbps data rate of the local area network 32. Baseband-based filtering reduces the 12 Mbps space segment 24 to the 2 Mbps local area network 32 by reducing data in the 12 Mbps bitstream. As shown in FIG. 3b, the bandwidth-based filter first determines 70 whether the available local area network 32 bandwidth (B1) (FIG. 2) to the mobile users 30 is sufficient to transmit the desired information rate. If the available bandwidth is sufficient, the information can be transmitted without bandwidth filtering 72. If the available bandwidth is insufficient to transmit the desired information, the bandwidth-based filtering operation is performed. Bandwidth-based filtering may include the steps of data selection 74, data transformation 76, and data pruning 78 depending on the particular data. For example, when filtering a MPEG compressed video data stream the step of data selection 74 may involve choosing which video frames of the compressed video stream will be transmitted to the mobile user. Typically only the I-frames of the compressed video data stream are selected to be transmitted in the reduced bandwidth data stream. Data transformation 76 converts the I-frames into another data stream format according to the available bandwidth. Data pruning 78 may also be implemented using techniques to further reduce the bandwidth of the data stream. The data stream is then transmitted 80 to the mobile user. As shown in FIG. 4, a user-based filtering scheme allows the local area network 32 to effectively serve a larger number of mobile users 30 over the available space segment 24. User-based filtering optimizes the usage of the space segment 24 bandwidth when a number of mobile users 30 are processing different views of the same or related database information. For example, mobile users 30 may be accessing a database of financial information. Several users may be accessing similar information, such as the price history of particular Dow Jones Industrial Index stock and the current stock prices of the Dow Jones Industrial Index. With user-based filtering, the broadcast server 22 transmits a single copy of the Dow Jones prices to be stored in the memory 50 of the mobile base station 26. The mobile base station 26 disseminates the particular information requested by the mobile users 30 from the stored information 50. User-based filtering, optimizes the utilization of the available space segment 24 (FIG. 1) information signal 40 bandwidth (B1) (FIG. 2). Because the mobile base station 26 (FIG. 1) memory 50 contains a copy of the database information, the space segment 24 only carries changes necessary to update the mobile base station 26 memory 50 copy of the information. The mobile base station 26 has a record 51 of the information of interest for each particular mobile user 30. The mobile base station 26 compares the record 51 for each mobile user 30 against the database information in memory 50 and disseminates information to mobile users 30 when relevant changes occur to the memory 50. The mobile base station 26 thus maintains communication with mobile users 30 independently of the space segment 24. The number of mobile users 30 which access the same database information 36 is thus independent of the available bandwidth of the space segment 24. As seen in FIG. 5, an active broadcast protocol minimizes the latency inherent in maintaining updated information across a distributed information system. The active broadcast protocol automatically updates information distributed to the mobile base station and mobile users when changes to the information database occur. Active broadcast updates occur according to a rule or set of rules 90 determined by the mobile users 30 and the mobile base station 26. Each mobile user or mobile base station 26 registers a rule set 90. These rules 90 are transmitted to the broadcast server 22. The rule set 90 defines the relevant changes in the information database 36 which trigger automatic updates to the mobile base station 26 and mobile users 30. Each mobile user 30 or mobile base station 26 defines a set of rules 90 which defines its information of interest. The rule set 90 can be transmitted to the broadcast server 22 via the communication uplink 34. The broadcast server 22 applies the rule set 90 of the mobile users 30 and mobile base station 26 against the information database 36 to immediately identify when relevant changes occur to the information database 36. For example, a relevant change to a financial information database may comprise of a change in stock prices. When a stock price change occurs to a stock of interest as defined by the rule set 90, the updated stock price is automatically distributed to the mobile base station 32 by the broadcast server. Alternatively, the active broadcast rule may be defined by a service provider according to when and how often it wishes to provide updated information to mobile users. In such as case, the rule is not changeable by the mobile users. Active broadcast automatically transmits updated information as relevant changes to the information occur. The active broadcast of updated information automatically pushes updated information out to the mobile users, thus minimizing the latency in providing updated information across the distributed network. In addition, active broadcast reduces the overall network load by reducing user polling requests for updated information and minimizing the transmission of redundant data. The present invention allows the high-speed, real-time dissemination of multimedia information over interconnected heterogeneous communication systems. The interconnection of different communication systems and the use of wireless technology allows a flexible communication architecture. The flexible architecture enables the rapid deployment of a communication infrastructure in a variety of different locations. Of course, it should be understood that a wide range of changes and modifications can be made to the preferred embodiment described above. A communication system, for example, may include a plurality of mobile base station implementing a number of local area networks. It is therefore intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting and that it be understood that it is the following claims, including all equivalents, which are intended to define the scope of this invention.

You have made it so easy for us to celebrate with friends and family, and everybody has been so impressed with Macdonald Compleat Angler itself but more importantly with all of the staff involved from the moment we arrived until our departure.
The service during the wedding breakfast was impeccable and the food delicious. Please can you pass on our thanks to Giovanni and the hospitality team. We were well looked after.
We and our guests had an amazing evening, the weather was superb, the function rooms were set up really well, the food was prepared and displayed creatively and all staff were of high customer service, especially Giovanni, special thanks to him please.
On the day the service was faultless and many of the guests commented on the location and service. The set up is great and better than many other riverside wedding venues in that the function suite is adjacent to the river terrace, so that guests can spill out and straight onto the lawn in front of the river.
We were absolutely delighted that the whole day went so well - from our boat pick up at All Saints' Bisham, with sparkling wine and canapés to greet us, to the excellent dinner and drinks reception in the evening. Our guests all told us how much they enjoyed the reception and that is in no small part to the fantastic dinner, facilities and all the staff who helped us at Macdonald Compleat Angler.
You were so helpful and kind, especially with all my random requests and DIY elements, and the day actually could not have gone more smoothly.
Everything went so smoothly, the staff couldn't do enough for us and the venue was perfect with the boat trip and photos out by the river.
The day itself ran perfectly and we were really impressed by the total efficiency and professionalism of the whole team. I would be especially grateful if you could pass on our thanks to Will and Giovanni who ran the occasion just like the swans on the river. Please also pass on our thanks to the whole team at the Compleat Angler including the chef, kitchen staff, waiters and bar staff who made the day such a success.
Thank you so much for helping us put our special day together. Everyone at the hotel played such an important part in making our day perfect, from our menu tasting right through to the day itself. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all our guests. The venue of course we know to be special but it will now always be particularly special to us.

The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha (VULA) | New International Version (NIV) |
6 exemplar epistulae quam misit Tatannai dux regionis trans Flumen et Starbuzannai et consiliatores eius Apharsacei qui erant trans Flumen ad Darium regem | 6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates, the officials of Trans-Euphrates, sent to King Darius. |
7 sermo quem miserant ei sic scriptus erat Dario regi pax omnis | 7 The report they sent him read as follows: To King Darius: Cordial greetings. |
8 notum sit regi isse nos ad Iudaeam provinciam ad domum Dei magni quae aedificatur lapide inpolito et ligna ponuntur in parietibus opusque illud diligenter extruitur et crescit in manibus eorum | 8 The king should know that we went to the district of Judah, to the temple of the great God. The people are building it with large stones and placing the timbers in the walls. The work is being carried on with diligence and is making rapid progress under their direction. |
9 interrogavimus ergo senes illos et ita diximus eis quis dedit vobis potestatem ut domum hanc aedificaretis et muros instauraretis | 9 We questioned the elders and asked them, "Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?" |
10 sed et nomina eorum quaesivimus ab eis ut nuntiaremus tibi quae scripsimus nomina virorum qui sunt principes in eis | 10 We also asked them their names, so that we could write down the names of their leaders for your information. |
11 huiuscemodi autem sermonem responderunt nobis dicentes nos sumus servi Dei caeli et terrae et aedificamus templum quod erat extructum ante hos annos multos quodque rex Israhel magnus aedificaverat et extruxerat | 11 This is the answer they gave us: "We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, one that a great king of Israel built and finished. |
12 postquam autem ad iracundiam provocaverunt patres nostri Deum caeli et tradidit eos in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis Chaldei domum quoque hanc destruxit et populum eius transtulit in Babylonem | 12 But because our fathers angered the God of heaven, he handed them over to Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean, king of Babylon, who destroyed this temple and deported the people to Babylon. |
13 anno autem primo Cyri regis Babylonis Cyrus rex proposuit edictum ut domus Dei aedificaretur | 13 "However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild this house of God. |
14 nam et vasa templi Dei aurea et argentea quae Nabuchodonosor tulerat de templo quod erat in Hierusalem et asportaverat ea in templum Babylonis protulit Cyrus rex de templo Babylonis et data sunt Sasabassar vocabulo quem et principem constituit | 14 He even removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the temple in Babylon. "Then King Cyrus gave them to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor, |
15 dixitque ei haec vasa tolle et vade et pone ea in templo quod est in Hierusalem et domus Dei aedificetur in loco suo | 15 and he told him, 'Take these articles and go and deposit them in the temple in Jerusalem. And rebuild the house of God on its site.' |
16 tunc itaque Sasabassar ille venit et posuit fundamenta templi Dei in Hierusalem et ex eo tempore usque nunc aedificatur et necdum conpletum est | 16 So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem. From that day to the present it has been under construction but is not yet finished." |
17 nunc ergo si videtur regi bonum recenseat in bibliotheca regis quae est in Babylone utrumnam a Cyro rege iussum sit ut aedificaretur domus Dei in Hierusalem et voluntatem regis super hac re mittat ad nos | 17 Now if it pleases the king, let a search be made in the royal archives of Babylon to see if King Cyrus did in fact issue a decree to rebuild this house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send us his decision in this matter. |

Six Nations: England hand Mako Vunipola first start, Croft on bench
RBS Six Nations - England v Italy
- Venue: Twickenham
- Date: Sunday 10 March
- Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
Coverage: Watch live from 14:30 on BBC One, BBC One HD, mobiles and online; listen on BBC Radio 5 live; text commentary on BBC Sport website and mobiles. Highlights BBC Two Sun 23:35, repeated BBC Two Mon 13:30.
Saracens prop Mako Vunipola has been handed his first start as England make five changes for Sunday's Six Nations match against Italy at Twickenham.
Replacement flanker Tom Croft is in the squad for the first time in 11 months following a serious neck injury.
The other changes in the starting XV are half-backs Toby Flood and Danny Care, while there are also recalls for forwards James Haskell and Tom Youngs.
Mako Vunipola factfile
- Born 13/1/1991 Wellington, New Zealand
- 1998 - Relocates to Wales after father Fe'ao signs for Pontypool
- 2009-10 season - Makes Bristol debut after progressing through club's academy
- 2010 - Promoted to England Under-20 squad
- March 2011 - Part of England Under-20 side that wins the Grand Slam
- July 2011 - Joins Saracens after 33 appearances for Bristol, including five tries
- November 2012 - Makes full England debut against Fiji
Mako Vunipola's younger brother Billy misses out on a place on the bench.
Flood comes in for the injured Owen Farrell, with Freddie Burns called into the replacements.
Haskell and Tom Youngs replace Courtney Lawes and Dylan Hartley respectively, with the Northampton pair dropping to the bench, where they are joined by Joe Marler and Ben Youngs, who both started in the win against France.
England go into the game top of the table, having won three games in a row.
The victory over France in the last round ensured they remain on track for a first Grand Slam in a decade, and boss Stuart Lancaster always intended to "freshen up" the side in the penultimate round of the 2013 Six Nations.
"We were very happy with the way we finished the France game," he explained. "The impact the replacements made shows that we have competition for places across the board and we have had to make some tight calls.
"Danny Care has waited patiently for his opportunity. In freshening the team up, sometimes when you have a guy who is desperate to play that can help the team.
"They [Care and scrum-half rival Ben Youngs] are unbelievably close. They are both high-quality players, in great form and in great condition and pushing each other.
"Mako has thoroughly deserved his chance and we are looking forward to seeing how he goes."
Billy Twelvetrees is among the replacements after Lancaster decided against shifting centre Manu Tuilagi to the wing and benching Chris Ashton.

Italy, who have recalled captain Sergio Parisse, started the tournament by defeating France , and Lancaster cautioned against writing off the visitors.
"Parisse coming back is a huge psychological lift and it adds a huge amount in terms of experience," said Lancaster.
"All things point towards Italy putting in a strong performance and we have to be ready."
Mako Vunipola, 22, who was born in New Zealand, and Billy, 20, born in Australia, are sons of the former Tonga captain Fe'ao.
When they first moved to Britain they lived in Wales before subsequently relocating to England. Both could have played for the Welsh alongside cousin and number eight Toby Faletau.
Mako Vunipola said making his first start will be "a great occasion for me and my family".
Speaking before the selection announcement, he added: "The dream for us is to be out there together for my family. Hopefully one day that will happen."
England's points difference is currently 17 better than nearest rivals Wales, whom they face in the final round of the championship in Cardiff next Saturday.

10th March 2013 - 16:03Can't see England losing, but in all fairness they are trying their best. Think wales should play their under 20 side to level things up a bit. Not many Englishman putting their hands up for lions places so far. But they are playing so well wales got no chance next week be lucky to lose by 60 points against this superb English outfit ha ha
