I got war right out side of thieves landing, like pretty much right out side of it. | |
Yeah it's kinda random because the horses wander, these are just rough locations.. I found War inside the MacFarlane's Ranch area actually. | |
just wondering if u can only get one cus i had war and it died? --- SSBB FC is 0989-1396-6230 Platinum FC 2622-0400-4688 Pokemon Diamond FC-2579 0985 1838 | |
Would be great if you could actually collect and keep all of the special horses spread throughout the land. There really should be a stable on John's ranch where you can store them and select each one you want to ride. --- Why can't we all just get along? | |
Just do all the Horses of the Apocalypse challenges then you can call ANY of the 4 horses anytime you want by pressing START & then pressing X on War, Famine, Pestilence Or Death's blood pack (they basically look like deeds to the horses on your screen) The only horse you lose & have to get every time is the unicorn, which is always found in the same spot (In the middle of the 3 horses you see on the in-game map, near torquemada) | |
"by pressing START & then pressing X on War, Famine, Pestilence Or Death's blood pack (they basically look like deeds to the horses on your screen)" I Meant SELECT, Not START. lol | |
Where do you find a Chupacabra? --- MW2 3rd prestige 5.5 K/D WaW 3rd prestige 4.0 K/D PSN: KishinOmega | |
Near Escalera or Torquemada, he's been spotted by both those locations, Also you need to have hunting rank 4 completed.. that was a typo above. | |
Chupacabra and Unicorn: On the map, north-west of Torqemeda you have an image of 3 horses, just run around that area, you'll find Chupacabra [get Blue Circle] and once you kill it, Unicorn spawns nearby, but will have no indication. Also, if you just keep doing story missions, you will run into each horse at some point or another. War: On way to McFarlane's Ranch. Pestillence: When hunting Sasquatch. Famine: On way to Mexico. For me it spawned right next to bridge to Mexico. Death: I got it somewhere in Mexico but didn't tame then. Death can spawn anywhere. |

MUTED follows Lena Gladwell, a black mother who struggles to get police & local media involved when her teenage daughter disappears. Read more
MUTED follows Lena Gladwell, a black mother who struggles to get police & local media involved when her teenage daughter disappears.
About this project
The Story
Muted follows Lena Gladwell, a mother whose world is shattered when her teenage daughter Crystal disappears. Springing into action, Lena attempts to enlist the help of the press and the police. Expecting the full support of law enforcement and local media, Lena quickly learns the painful and tragic lesson that all missing persons are not created equal.
Our Team
*Our director is the very talented Rachel Goldberg (Neighbors, Rosita Lopez for President), a 2012 HBO/DGA Directing Fellowship finalist, 2010 AFI Directing Workshop for Women participant and named one of "30 Emerging Filmmakers to Watch" by Film Independent.
*Actress/Writer Brandi Ford penned the script and was inspired to write the film after learning about the real missing person cases of Mitrice Richardson, Phoenix Coldon and Romona Moore. Brandi's feature version of Muted was in the final round of the 2013 Sundance Screenwriters Lab.
*Actress/Writer Tara Tomicevic has taken on the role of producer and is excited to share a story she feels will connect with all. Tara spoke about Muted on Good Day Sacramento:
*Tina Pavlides, owner of Still Standing Productions, keeps us on track as our diligent Line Producer.
*The multi-talented Danette Wilson (seriously, she's awesome both in front of & behind the camera) is our hard-working Production Manager.
*The dynamic duo of Greg Cruser and Lex Benedict will be handling post-production under their Longlost Pictures banner.
*Matthew Owyang is our dynamic Social Media Manager.
Casting is currently underway so stay tuned as we look forward to bringing you tons of production updates!
How does this whole pledge thing work?
This is the beauty of Kickstarter - your money is handled by Amazon.com and does not leave your bank account until our goal is reached! If $15,000 is not raised by our deadline, all pledges are cancelled and you keep your money. Please, help us NOT let that happen! :-)
For those of you who prefer a visual breakdown...
$14,999 = Funds nothing! We don't receive a penny if we raise this amount or less.
$15,000 = Success! After Kickstarter & Amazon both take their cut (approximately 10% total or $1500) we'll have the absolute bare bones amount needed to shoot this film.
$18,000 = Funds a reasonable day rate for our cast and crew, upgrades our production design and covers basic editing costs.
$23,000 = Funds additional post-production needs such as sound mixing, color grading, light visual effects and score composition and upgrades some of our equipment.
$25,000 = Funds film festival submission fees, marketing materials and venue fees for the screening.
What's In It For You
We have some exciting rewards that we're happy to offer to thank you for joining our team! Everything from a Facebook/Twitter shout-out, photographs from the set, homemade cake pops and chocolate-covered Oreos (YUM!) and invitations to the private screening. If there's a reward you'd love to have that's not currently being offered just send us a message using the blue "CONTACT ME" button next to our picture and we'll see if we can make it happen.
We can't begin to describe how excited we are to begin production on this film! We have a story to share and hope you'll participate in bringing it to life.

Risks and challenges
Making a film is a huge undertaking that always brings challenges and risks such as unforeseen weather situations, actors dropping out, and locations having to change. However, we feel 100% capable of completing this film given our experience, commitment to the project and massive preparation.
Challenge #1: We hope to shoot this film in late July or August. We'll do everything we can to make that happen if funded. The cast and crew who are currently attached have made themselves available for this window. However, we have not cast two of our main characters, Crystal and Lena. We hope to attract great actors, and great actors can be busy. There is a chance that we find the perfect actors to play the roles but they are unavailable this summer, pushing us back until September. We'll do all we can to avoid this as we'd rather not slow down the project's momentum.
Challenge #2: After the film is shot, we'll need to edit it. If we meet but do not exceed our bare minimum goal of $15k, and if we are unable to find a donor who will match our Kickstarter funds, it will take us a bit longer to raise the amount needed to edit and score the film. This challenge can be overcome as it only requires finding more money but that will take time.
Despite these challenges, we are confident in our team's ability to complete this film because of the following:
*Our team has a ton of DIY experience - We're used to keeping costs low and filling multiple roles on set. We know how to keep the process moving even when external factors are working against us.
*We KNOW this script intimately - We've spent a LOT of time with this story. This means we know it well enough to make quick decisions about content and tone and what can stay or go from the script without sacrificing quality.
We're planning everything down to the last detail, from production insurance to contingency plans to lookbooks so that we can concentrate on the most important part: telling a good story.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
No money will be deducted from you unless the campaign reaches its goal. However, the sooner you pledge the better. Once we reach our goal, Amazon will charge your card for your desired pledge amount on the date our campaign ends (June 30, 2013).
*If you need any help with the donation system, please email email@example.com and we will gladly walk you through the process.
No. Only you and the project owners will be able to see your pledge amount.
Major sad face! The rules of Kickstarter dictate that if we do not reach our goal we receive nothing. It is a 100% ALL or NOTHING system.
Cast & crew, equipment, locations, insurance, catering and craft services, post production, and overall movie magic!
Major happy face! Every extra penny will contribute to the production value of the film and help cover additional items such as film festival submission fees, score/music clearances and marketing costs.
It's in the works! In fact, the feature screenplay for Muted recently advanced to the final round of the 2013 Sundance Screenwriters Lab.
Please spread the word! Share this link via email, Facebook, Twitter or good old-fashioned word of mouth. We're also happy to accept in-kind donations so if there's something you believe our cast & crew could use, please contact us at http://mailto:email@example.com.
To "gift" your reward to someone else, please follow the normal process with the pledge and payment in your name. Once we've reached the deadline, we'll send you an email requesting the information we need to fulfill the reward (address, etc.) At that time, please reply with the contact info of the person that is to receive the reward and we'll follow through.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be happy to hear from you.

Multiple graded winner Cyber Secret lived up to his favored billing in the Prairie Bayou Stakes at Turfway Park Dec. 21, setting a track record for 1 1/16 miles of 1:42.26 on the Polytrack en route to a 4 1/2-length victory (VIDEO).
The previous mark of 1:42.52 was set by Miss Wellspring in 2006.
Cyber Secret won off as much the best at 2-1 odds with Israel Ocampo aboard, in spite of losing his left front shoe. Charles Cella's 4-year-old son of Broken Vow was making his second start off a six-month layoff for trainer Lynn Whiting in the $50,000 event.
The bay colt had had only one previous start on an all-weather surface and was unplaced then, but Whiting was confident he could handle the assignment.
"I brought him up here and breezed him on Monday, and he went 47 and change," Whiting said. "Horses from his sire seem to do well on Polytrack."
Cyber Secret was well-placed in fifth for the opening half mile before angling into the three path in the far turn and soon getting the lead. Leading by a half-length in the lane, Cyber Secret opened up in the final furlong to win going away under a steady drive from Ocampo.
Pacesetter Stormy Going, who led by as many as three lengths early, finished second after posting quick quarter mile fractions of :23.78, :47.01, and 1:11.01. Stormy Going, ridden by Perry Ouzts, stayed close until mid-stretch and was 2 3/4 lengths better than stalking Occasional View and Victor Lebron in third.
"The race set up perfect for me," said Ocampo. "I had a perfect position, and when I turned for home I had plenty of horse left. I knew I could put him anywhere I wanted. He handled the Polytrack really good. I worked him when he was a 2-year-old and he was pretty green. He's getting more mature, relaxing more.
"I also worked him before he won the Oaklawn Handicap (in April), and he's even better today than he was then," Ocampo added.
Second choice Villandry was fourth, followed by Burn the Mortgage, Unstoppable U, Dreams Cut Short, Magical Moment, Pass the Crown, Present Course, Knights Nation, and Polaris.
Cyber Secret, bred in Kentucky by Paragon Farms out of the Dixieland Band mare Stomping, paid $6.60, $4.20, and $3.20. He now has seven wins and two seconds in 17 starts for earnings of $594,593.
Whiting said the Prairie Bayou was intended to set Cyber Secret up for his next start, the Fifth Season Stakes at Oaklawn Park Jan. 11.

J.J. Redick, who will be a free agent this summer, is averaging career-highs in scoring, rebounding, assists, and field-goal percentage and is one of the most mentioned names in trade rumors as the deadline approaches. Earlier today, it was reported the Bucks were showing interest, and now the Pacers, Bulls and even the Knicks have joined that mix.

Description THIS invention relates to imaging apparatus which can be used, for example, in radiological applications. Conventional X-ray imaging apparatus is of limited versatility and is generally unsuitable for use in whole-body imaging of patients at a resolution sufficient for diagnostic purposes. South African patent no. 93/8427 describes a system which is designed to facilitate whole-body imaging of a subject in order to detect smuggled articles such as diamonds concealed on the person of the subject, while at the same time minimising the radiation dose received by the subject. It is an object of the invention to provide an alternative apparatus which can produce images of medical diagnostic quality at relatively low radiation doses. Imaging apparatus comprising:
The radiation source may be an X-ray source and the cameras comprise scintillators and associated charge-coupled devices for generating digital image data signals. The camera array may be arranged so that fields of coverage of adjacent cameras overlap in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the camera array, so that the camera array provides full coverage of an elongate imaging zone defined thereby. In a preferred embodiment, each camera has an active area with a parallelogram shape, with adjacent ends of the respective active areas abutting, so that the coverage of adjacent cameras overlaps in a relatively narrow transition zone extending transversely to the direction of scanning. The signal processor means preferably comprises a digital signal processor arranged to apply a compensation algorithm to the image data signals to compensate for relative misalignment or distortion of the cameras. The compensation algorithm may be arranged to compensate for misalignment of each image pixel with respect to both x- and y-axes, the y-axis corresponding to the direction of scanning and the x-axis being transverse to the direction of scanning. Preferably, the compensation algorithm is arranged first to compensate for errors in the positioning of pixels in the direction of the y-axis, and then in the direction of the x-axis to compensate for unexposed and overlapping pixels in the transition zones between the cameras. The control means is preferably arranged to measure variations in the intensity of the imaging beam, and to generate drive control signals to vary the speed of the drive means, to maintain the effective intensity at a constant level. The control means may be arranged to carry out intensity compensation by means of software correction of the image data signals using measured information regarding intensity fluctuations in the imaging beam. The drive means may have an encoder associated therewith for generating clock signals related to the movement of the radiation source and the camera array, and the control means includes a clock conditioning circuit responsive to the clock signals to generate timing signals which are used to synchronise the imaging operation of the camera array with the movement thereof. Alternatively, the control means may include a reference clock circuit which is used to generate timing signals for controlling both the operation of the drive means and the camera array, so that the imaging operation of the camera array is synchronised with the movement thereof. Each camera preferably defines a plurality of imaging pixels. the outputs of at least some of the pixels being combined according to a predetermined scheme to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the image signals. In a preferred embodiment, the cameras are adapted to combine the outputs of pixels which are adjacent in the direction of movement of the radiation source and the camera array at the time of generation of the image signals. The signal processor means is preferably adapted to process the image signals to combine the outputs of pixels which are adjacent in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the radiation source and the camera array. The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: A frame 18 mounted on a wall 8 or another fixed structure defines a pair of rails 20 with which a motorised drive mechanism 22 engages to drive the arm linearly back and forth in a first, axial direction of movement. In addition, the drive mechanism comprises a housing 24 in which the arm 16 is movable by the drive mechanism in order to cause the X-ray source and the detector to rotate about an axis parallel with the first direction of movement of the mechanism. A typical application of the imaging apparatus of the invention is in a radiological installation, such as that illustrated in FIG. 4. The imaging apparatus is shown located in a corner of a room which may be a resuscitation area or trauma room of a hospital, for example. Alternatively, the apparatus may be located in a radiological department of a hospital or elsewhere. Located adjacent to the imaging apparatus is a local positioning console 26, by means of which an operator can set up the required viewing parameters (for example, the angle of the arm 16, start and stop positions, and the width of the area to be X-rayed). A main operator console 28 is provided behind a screen 30 which is used by the operator to set up the required radiographic procedure. The imaging apparatus is operated to perform a scan of a subject 32 supported on a specialised trolley or gurney 34 (see below) and an image of the radiograph is displayed on a screen at the console 28, in order to allow the operator to judge whether a successful image has been acquired. One or more high quality monitors 36 are provided for diagnostic viewing and are located so that attending clinical staff can study the radiographs being acquired. In addition, a console 38 is provided which forms part of a standard Radiological Information System which permits picture viewing and archiving. The arrangement of The various functional aspects of the apparatus will now be described in greater detail. In order to exploit the potential of the invention for rapid X-ray imaging, a special trolley 34 is provided which is height adjustable and which is provided with an electromagnetic clamping and location arrangement to secure it in position relative to the arm 16 of the scanning apparatus during operation. Once the trolley has been locked in position, the arm 16 of the apparatus is rotated into the required position and is also locked into position electromagnetically. The shape of the arm defines a cavity which is sufficiently large to surround the body of a patient supported on the trolley 34. With the arm 16 locked into position relative to the housing 24 of the drive mechanism and the trolley 34 also locked into position, the drive mechanism is operated so that the apparatus performs a horizontal linear scan. A narrow fanned beam of X-rays irradiates a thin strip across the width of the patient bed as the X-ray source and the detector move from the starting point to the end point of the scan. A standard position of operation of the apparatus is with the X-ray source 12 uppermost in order to permit the taking of A-P (anterior to posterior) and P-A full body images. The arm 16 can be rotated through up to 90� for different radial/lateral views. The height adjustable trolley 34 is useful for pinpointing specific areas of interest. As an alternative to adjusting the height of the trolley, the height of the arm assembly could be adjusted instead. With the arm rotated through 90�, erect chest views are also possible, as indicated in FIG. 3. In the prototype apparatus, the width or thickness of the X-ray beam (in the direction of scan) on the detector is determined by a thin slit collimator which is factory preset to less than 10 mm. Mounted in front of this slit is a second collimator that determines the length of the rectangular strip (transverse to the direction of scan) to be exposed to X-rays. This length is adjustable from a minimum of 100 mm to the full 680 mm field of exposure, in addition to a certain amount of offset from the bed centre line. A visible light source provided in the head 10 generates a thin beam, coincident with the X-ray beam, to illuminate the irradiated portion of the subject in use. Referring to The X-ray filter 104 ensures that the spectrum is filtered to the correct �hardness� by removing �soft� or low energy X-rays which would be absorbed by the patient's body and not contribute to the quality of the image. A light source 106 and an X-ray translucent mirror 108 provide a light beam which is the shape of, and coincident with, the X-ray beam. This indicates the X-ray beam's size and position to the operator. An X-ray collimator 110 blocks off the unwanted divergent X-rays which are detrimental to image quality, promote scatter and unnecessarily increase the amount of dose to the patient. The collimator is a thin slit in an X-ray opaque, material, which is located at a distance far enough from the X-ray tube to allow approximately a parallel beam of X-rays through. The percentage of nonparallel X-rays is determined by factors such as the slit's width, the slit's depth and the distance from the slit to the X-ray tube's focal spot. The image quality is improved in two ways by using the collimator. It effectively creates a parallel or collimated beam of X-rays and it reduces the instantaneous exposure area. The degree of beam collimation specifies the angle of divergence of the X-ray beam, or the degree to which the X-rays are parallel. The non-parallel X-rays effectively cause parallax errors which in turn give rise to smear. The degree of collimation therefore determines the amount of image smear as a result of the scanning X-ray technique. The minimum resolution required in the scanning X-ray system determines the amount of smear that can be tolerated and hence the minimum degree of collimation. A secondary result of the collimated X-ray beam is a very narrow (typically less than 10 mm) instantaneous exposure area. An image is produced through X-rays by irradiating an object and capturing the transmitted rays. The X-rays are differentially absorbed in the object as result of variations in thickness and densities throughout the object. However, a certain amount of the X-rays are scattered isotropically and do not travel straight to the detector. These scattered X-rays do not add to the information in the image, but are rather a source of noise. By utilising a very narrow instantaneous exposure area and correspondingly narrow detector, a minimum of these scatter X-rays are picked up by the detector, thereby reducing the noise in the image. This allows the X-ray dose to be reduced relative to large area exposures, while maintaining the necessary signal to noise ratio. In some configurations of the apparatus, the useful X-ray beam thickness may be narrower than the actual detector thickness. This could cause unwanted scattered X-rays to be detected. In order to prevent this, a further collimator or post-collimator, situated between the detector and the patient, could be used to screen off these scattered X-rays, thereby further improving the signal to noise ratio of the system. Such a post-collimator can comprise two strips of high X-ray attenuating material, such as tungsten, placed on either side of the useful X-ray beam in such a way that any scattered X-rays do not reach the detector. Control of the X-ray beam width is accomplished by means of a beam width controller or shutter mechanism 112, illustrated schematically in The X-ray detector 14 is illustrated schematically in FIG. 7 and comprises a plurality of X-ray cameras 122, each with an associated CCD headboard 124. Charge Coupled Devices (CCD's) are effective at detecting radiation in the visible wavelength range and converting it to an analogue electronic output signal. They are less effective at detecting X-rays and are damaged by X-ray radiation. Scintillators are therefore employed to convert the X-rays to light. The scintillators cover the whole area over which the X-rays strike the camera. CCD's are limited in size and are extremely expensive. The image area is therefore covered by multiple CCD'S, the total number being determined by a cost vs. resolution trade-off. The outputs of the respective CCD headboards 124 are fed to a front end processor 126 which has a fibre optic data link output 128. In the prototype, twelve CCD headboards 124 were interfaced to one front end processor 126. The front end processor (FEP) 126 is mounted in the C-arm 16 in close proximity to the CCD headboards, and connectors on the front end processor 126 are spaced to facilitate as short as possible an interface to the CCD headboards. The arrangement of a single camera is illustrated schematically in Each X-ray camera 122 detects X-rays which are transmitted through the patient and converts them to an analog electronic output signal. This output signal is amplified by the respective CCD headboard 124 which is mounted directly on the X-ray camera. The gain through the analog path is variable to enable compensation for variable signal intensity. The X-ray signal intensity may vary as a result of fluctuations in the scanning speed, ripple in the X-ray tube's power supply or imperfect X-ray tube parameters. This gain is controlled by control signals from a controller 132 (shown in FIG. 10). After amplification and offset adjustment a standard correlated double sampling (COS) procedure is performed on the signal by a CCD analog processor (CAP) (not shown). The CAP further converts the analog CDS signal to a digital signal (containing the image data) of 14 bit depth, for example. The digital signal is routed via a ribbon cable to the front end processor 126. The amplification, offset adjustment, CDS and digitisation should all be performed with low noise electronic circuits to minimise the amount of noise added to the image signal. The CCD's are operated in a Time Delay and Integration mode in order to obtain maximum benefit from the drift scanning operation. The CCD pixels are clocked at a rate which corresponds to, and is derived from, the scanning speed of the C-arm 16. The digital timing signals are generated in the front end processor 126 in a Digital Programmable Block 134 (see FIG. 10). These timing signals are synchronized to the rest of the system by using the C-arm encoder clock signal 136, which is generated by the physical movement of the C-arm. Alternatively, if the movement of the arm can be controlled to be stable and predictable within the accuracy of the system, then the C-arm encoder-derived clock may be replaced with a precision reference clock circuit. The C-arm encoder clock 136 needs to be conditioned depending on what format the output from the C-arm movement encoder will be, in order for it to be compatible with the digital signal levels used on the front end processor 126. A clock conditioning circuit 138 ensures this. Feedback of the beam width is provided to the front end processor 126 and an image pre-processor (see FIG. 12). The front end processor 126 uses the beam width feedback to determine which cameras are exposed. The front end processor then activates only exposed cameras, thereby reducing the heat generated in the detector and the data rate on an optical fibre link to the image pre-processor. The image pre-processor uses the beam width feedback in the image processing calculations. The CCD's of each CCD headboard consist of multiple rows and columns of pixels. Pixel rows are orientated perpendicular to the scanning direction. Electrons generated by X-rays are integrated in the pixel well during the time delay between the pixels' phase clocks, and are moved to the next row by the phase clocks. In each subsequent row additional electrons are generated by X-rays and the image exposure period is thereby lengthened. Image smear is prevented by clocking the pixels in accordance with the mechanical movement of the C-arm holding the X-ray source, as mentioned above. The signal is therefore integrated over the whole height of the X-ray fan beam and no X-ray signal is wasted. Binning occurs where the values of two or more pixels are combined or added together. For example. two pixel by two pixel binning will produce a super-pixel that is the sum of four adjacent pixels. Vertical pixels (direction of scan, or y-axis) are binned in the CCD's 122, and horizontal pixels (perpendicular to direction of scan, or x-axis) are binned in the electronics of the front end processor 126 or the image pre-processor. Binning of CCD rows is performed to increase the signal to noise ratio and to obtain the maximum required pixel size. If the rows were not binned it would increase the CCD readout noise present in the image. This binning of CCD rows is performed in the output registers of the CCD's 122 and is controlled by a programmable digital block 134. It will be appreciated that, notwithstanding the above described specific configuration, the system may be designed in such a way that binning can occur flexibly either in the CCD or its readout hardware before any digitisation occurs, or once digitised, by software. The binning process may take place in combinations of rows or columns. Although the front end processor 126 has many functions, three performance related specifications are critical to the final product. These are the speed at which the image information can be read out of the CCD, the data rate between the front end processor 126 and the image pre-processor, and the signal to noise ratio of the system. In a prototype system, the fastest scanning speed was found to be ten seconds for a full body scan (1800 mm). Each CCD must have its contents cleared, digitised and multiplexed at the scanning rate. The data rate between the front end processor and the image pre-processor will be determined by the smallest binned super-pixel which is a 2�2 binned pixel (see above for an explanation of pixel binning). This translates to a data rate of 147 Mbits per second, for all twelve channels. Referring now to The programmable digital block 134 samples the 14 bit digital signal from the CCD headboards. Binning up to the specified number of columns (typically between 1 and 5) is performed on the digital signal. Combined with the binning of rows in the CCD, as explained above, this gives rise to super-pixels with increased signal to noise ratio, which still maintains the pixel-size required for optimum resolution. The programmable digital block 134 also generates CCD drive signals. These signals are level shifted on the CCD headboards to the appropriate levels to drive the CCD. The CCD operating voltages are generated in an external power supply. The CCD drive signals and operating voltages are then fed to the CCD headboards through a suitable cable. The controller 132 mainly controls the different modes of operation of the front end processor 126 and also serves a built-in-test purpose, in terms of which monitors voltage levels and the basic functions on the processor PCB. The test status is reported back to the user interface through an interface 142, which could be an RS232C interface, for example. The controller also controls the different configurations of the programmable digital block 134. This is done by configuring the FPGA's differently each time a different mode of operation is required. This is necessary when different scanning speeds are selected and to perform alignment correction on the data. Feedback from the X-ray beam width control and the shutter are also fed to the controller 132. The controller 132 would typically be implemented using a microprocessor. The X-ray intensity feedback signal is converted to a digital signal by an A/D converter 144. This signal is appended to each line or horizontal row of image data which is sent to the image pre-processor. The circuit includes an oscillator 146. The oscillator output is a clock frequency which is very stable over a time period of one scan. The clock signal from the C-arm encoder is compared to this frequency. The result of the comparison indicates the variation in speed from the C-arm. This result is also appended to the each horizontal row of image data sent to the image pre-processor. The image pre-processor uses the intensity and speed variation information appended to each line to correct for the uneven illumination due to variations in the speed of travel of the C-arm. The oscillator also clocks the electronic circuits when the C-arm is not moving. The image pre-processor is used to convert the image data output of the front end processor 126 into a form which can be displayed on a video monitor. The signal from the front end processor is a multiplexed data signal generated from the twelve individual data output signals from the respective CCD headboards 124. The overall block diagram illustrating the image pre-processor's hardware and software interfaces is shown in As shown in The image pre-processor (IPP) consists of seven main functional blocks. Four of these control or provide access to interface points, whilst the other three provide the core functionality of the IPP. Referring to The image pre-processor (IPP) processes the image data and corrects this data for imaging artefacts. The following performance factors are critical to the final product and the achievement of the IPP's main purpose:
Now described in detail are the image corrections performed on the images by the image pre-processor. These corrections are performed to compensate for the artificial elements that are added to a picture during digital capture and display. They are also aimed at removing artifacts caused by the butting of the cameras and the fibre optic tapers. The image corrections must be performed in a specific order, which is determined by the effect expected from a specific correction. A flow chart of the image corrections is shown in FIG. 13. A standard sequence of corrections is:
Certain of the corrections may be left out of the sequence if their contribution to image quality is not warranted by the expense of processing speed. The first correction performed is y-alignment. This correction compensates for the slight difference in positioning of the cameras in the x-y plane. A separate y-alignment value is defined for each pixel instead of for each camera. As the fibre optic tapers can cause bow distortion of the image, defining a separate value for each pixel instead of for each camera allows the bow distortion to be compensated for, hence the need for separate values for each pixel as opposed to per camera. This translates to a vertical shift of image values. This correction should take care of the problem illustrated in FIGS. 14(a) and (b). A facility is also provided to allow the user to edit the compensation values of the final curve. The second correction is a butt or x-alignment correction. This can only be performed once the pixels have been appropriately aligned in the y-direction and it therefore follows the y-alignment. The fibre optic tapers used are parallelogram in shape which results in an overlap of pixels at the join of two tapers. There is also some portion of the CCD that is not covered by a taper. This results in dark or unexposed pixels on either side of the tapers. The unexposed pixels lying at the ends of each taper will be eliminated in the front end processor 126 during binning. Hence the correction software need only concern itself with the overlapped values created by the butting. Suppose that camera n and camera n+1 overlap by tn0 pixels, as shown in FIG. 9. The overlap is compensated for by adding the values of the overlapping pixels ie. the first tn0 pixels of camera n+1 are added to the last tn0 pixels of camera n. This caters for the problem illustrated schematically in FIG. 15. The next two corrections are standard gain and offset compensations. Once again a separate offset and gain value is used per column and not per camera. The dark current level or dc offset value is determined during calibration before the scanning of each image starts, to compensate for temperature drift in the CCD. This is done by obtaining an image without exposing the detector with X-rays. An average signal level is calculated for each image column and this constitutes the dc offset value. Each column in the image is then corrected for the dc offset by subtracting the corresponding dark current offset value for that column from each pixel in that column. The gain mask is also determined during calibration. This mask does not need to be determined during every scan, but rather during scheduled calibration sessions. The raw gain mask is obtained for every X-ray energy, by exposing the camera with an uninterrupted beam of X-rays and averaging the image per column. Thereafter the offset mask is subtracted from the gain mask and the result becomes the final gain mask. Each column in the image is normalised for the corresponding gain by dividing each pixel by the corresponding value in the gain mask. Similar to the gain mask compensation is the compensation for scan speed variations and for X-ray intensity fluctuations. Variations in the scan speed and X-ray intensity effectively cause gain variations per row in the image. The change in gain is proportional to the change in speed or intensity and the image can be normalised per row with respect to these variations. The above steps are carried out as follows:
The final correction of the image is the logging of the corrected value. This is necessary because X-ray attenuation is exponential. The required log values are obtained by means of a predefined look-up table which is generated during initialisation time and remains in memory for usage thereafter. The log values are calculated in such a way as to provide for conditioning of the image as well as logging it. The values in the look-up table would range from 0 to 16384 if a 14 bit range is utilised. These corrections must be performed as fast as possible in order to adequately cope with the demands of a trauma unit. The algorithms used to perform the abovementioned corrections have been highly optimised to improve the performance and speed of the system. The algorithms have been implemented as a multi-threaded process, with multiple tasks running concurrently. This process consists mainly of three tasks:
Tasks 2 and 3 above are used interchangeably depending on the customer's requirements. Normally an �unsharp mask� image is generated as a confirming image, and a reduced version of this is used as a pictogram for later selection on the database. This setup is interchangeable, allowing a reduced radiograph to become a confirming image and an �unsharp mask� version of this then becoming the pictogram. Apart from these main tasks, there are miscellaneous tasks which perform the following functions:
Illustrated in The system manager 156 consists of three processes:
It is the responsibility of the image pre-processor to begin communication with the front end processor, so that It may wake-up from the power saving mode and begin activation and preparation for a scan. The operator console will notify the image pre-processor that a scan is about to begin, and that the image pre-processor needs to prepare for a scan. The image pre-processor immediately communicates over the serial link to the front end processor, thus waking up the front end processor from the power-saving mode and causing it to connect and communicate with the image preprocessor. Once a valid response has been received from the front end processor, the image pre-processor enters the active state waiting for a scan-activate notification from the operator console. The image pre-processor then undergoes the scan process. On termination, it reverts to the standby state. Thus it can be seen that the invention provides an alternative apparatus which can produce images of medical diagnostic quality at relatively low radiation doses. Patent Citations

Prisoner: Cell Block H - YOU choose the volume colour! Vol 9 - CLOSED
Volume 9 of the fabulous Prisoner: Cell Block H comes out on DVD in the UK on 29th August and Shock Entertainment want YOU to choose the colour of the Prisoner logo that goes on the DVD case of this and the volumes that follow this year. Your colour choice can be as relevant or abstract as you like - as long as it makes sense in your head. Now for Volume 7 the majority vote was for bright pink and for vol 8 bright lime green - because of that pink, lime green and green blue are not going to be available for vol 9 as we can't have two greens next to each other but come vol 10 green blue will be back as an option (but not bright pink - it's vol 7, and vol 8 is lime green). Ya see - it's simple! PLEASE NOTE THE VOTING PANEL IS AT THE TOP OF THIS THREAD - any problems seeing how to vote just say and we'll help you out - it's dead simple but if it's your first time then let us help. Ok so here's what happens in Volume 9: Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for The Freak. As if Wentworth isn't busy enough with bashings, suspected lagging and attempted murder, Officer Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson (Maggie Kirkpatrick) arrives, announcing her presence with the first of her infamous black glove body searches. Before she even arrives though, one inmate won't stop escaping, another is dealing in out of date drugs and Doreen secretly trains a gang of attack dogs. But what none of them know is that one of the women will end up in a hospital for the criminally insane. In over 25 hours of solid gold episodes, this 8 DVD box set will grip and delight every fan of TV's iconic Prisoner Cell Block H. Now what colour best suits that set of episodes??? Our thanks to Scott from the wonderful PRISONER CELL BLOCK H .:ON THE INSIDE:. for the idea of the colour vote and a warm welcome to his readers and Facebook members. Please do note YOUR involvement will help drive future releases of Prisoner: Cell Block H in the UK so please vote and please pass this on to everyone you know who will be interested - it takes seconds to sign up and get stuck in! Quick rules: This vote closes 12pm Tuesday 1st Mar 2011. After that we'll open up the vote on volume 10! Please note that Shock reserve the right on any final decision in terms of the colour chosen - clearly the idea is that the vote decides but we need to say this just in case some exceptional circumstances dictate emergency measures which we haven't managed to dream up! Also Shock Entertainment retain all design copyright and ownership so even if you help choose the winning colour they own the final design forever - let's call it their steam press - it's theirs and you can't have it. Mrs Davidson is uncomfortable with this policy but the Minister has overruled her so welcome to life on the inside - stop complaining or it's Barnhurst for you!

I've gone with the Light Orange option on this one. It's quite eye-catching and will compliment the set very nicely. |
| ||||
| ||||
Volume 9...can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| |||
| |||
To be honest, I don't particularly like any of them. Rust Orange is the best of a bad lot, but it doesn't seem right for this batch of episodes. The arrival of the Freak calls for a tough colour - a steely grey or a cold blue. And IIRC, Marie Winter is still present at the start of this volume, and similar colours suit her down to the ground. So Duck-Egg Blue feels appropriate - the shade, if not the name. And we haven't had blue since Vol. 2, of course. But please, let's have some bolder and more vibrant choices for the next couple of volumes! A navy blue would be good around now - put a white outline around it and it'll show up nicely against the black background. |

Volume 9: Episodes 257-288 - Just think, by the time the entire series is released, if it is released, we're going to go through quite a number of colours. I went for rust orange this time. It seemed a nice shade after the previous green. I am in complete agreement with Wilf - hopefully the next batch of volumes will have 'stronger' colour choices.

I went for duck egg blue again. It's the one that jumped out at me first for volume 7. At the end of the day, any colour is good. It's just great to be given the chance to get involved in helping to shape a release in some way.

Well folks Prisoner: Cell Block H - vol 9 will be Rust Orange! There's just one more volume to vote on for now - (time for a break!) which will be vol 10 - we'll kick that off soon. Thanks everyone for making the effort to vote. It's what's inside that counts as we know but the logos have to be some kind of colour to easily distinguish the volumes apart so having a fun vote and getting your choices in seems like a better way to do things. |

Things to do in England
Many of England's museums—common destinations for tourists—do not require an entry fee unless you plan on viewing certain exhibits. If you prefer a more unique and slightly eerie travel experience, Madame Tussauds is absolutely worth a visit. This world-renowned wax museum lets you get up close with near perfect renditions of celebrities and political figures of the past and modern-day.
Taking a break from the typical historic tour, London also has a thriving nightlife and bar scene. Tourist areas like Covent Garden and Leicester have great places to go, but West End, famous for its theatre, also features pubs like the Sanderson Hotel. Nightjar is also a hidden gem of London nightlife, located a short distance from Old Street Station.
Moving away from the center, Brighton is another popular England travel destination along the coast of the English Channel. The Brighton Festival takes place each May and is the one of the largest arts festival in the U.K., second only to the one in Edinburgh. This festival also features the Artists' Open House in which local artists open their homes to the general public for viewing and buying their wares. Brighton has several festivals throughout the year, many dedicated to the arts, but some to alternative lifestyles.
Nottingham, affectionately known as the Queen of the Midlands, is mostly known for the legend of Robin Hood. It's an older city to the northwest of London and also has excellent public transport. One of its most popular features is the City of Caves. This amazing complex of over five hundred caves has a history dating back to the Dark Ages and makes Nottingham the city with more man-made caves than any other lace in England.
Located in downtown Northampton, this Japanese-style spa has been welcome guests to its hotsoaking tubs, sauna, and treatment rooms since 1981.
Housed in a hulking converted power station, this vast modern art showplace opened in 2000, but still breaks new ground with installations. Each year Tate Modern hosts the unique Unilever Series, where different artists are asked to create an installation for Turbine Hall.
Crammed with stalls, pubs, shops, and small restaurants, Borough Market is London's grazing central. Come early on Thursday or Friday and avoid the Saturday crush.
More than 200 varieties of creamy, crumbly cheese are packed to the rafters at this famous fromagophile heaven in South London's Borough Market. Founded in 1979, the shop now has two locations in London and has become renowned for its dedication to quality artisan cheeses from the British Isles.
An enchanting cabinet of zoological curiosities, this University College London museum is among the city's best-kept secrets. Housed in an Edwardian library, the intriguing collection was first established in 1827 by zoology professor Robert Edmond Grant and now features over 67,000 specimens.
Bargain-seekers and serious collectors find treasures among the 18th- and 19th-century glass pieces, silver, and arts and crafts at this Portobello Road Market shop.
Reserved for Upper Class travelers, the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse is an oasis in the heart of London's bustling Heathrow Airport. Atop the grand staircase, clubhouse visitors are greeted by a Swarovski crystal chandelier and richly upholstered lounge seating.

This Article reflects on the codes of conduct the United States has devised, and has improvised, during the last ten years of the Twilight War. As the polemics have subsided and policies are regularized for the long haul, I focus only on two major issues—codes for interrogating enemy captives and the code for defining the enemy. As "legal realists" have observed, legal doctrines rarely emerge from classrooms and often not even from courts. This is then a personal history of how these legal policies took shape and evolved. But one of the most important insights to take away from this historical episode was that the advocates for the radically new codes of conduct framed the issue as a legal question—substantively and bureaucratically. Instead of framing the question around what "should" be done, carefully inventorying prior U.S. and foreign experience in detention practices and interrogations and analyzing all the pros and cons, the issue was debated as one of what "can" be done. If it does nothing else, this episode should reveal the dangers implicit in this habit of thought.
The Essay also underscores the policy and even management value of well-defined, politically sustainable guidelines for secret operations to kill enemies and deal with captives. Because the government must entrust intelligence operatives with exceptional power, a fundamental social contract forms. Such a social contract is an essential foundation to granting intelligence agencies and military departments, with thousands of employees conducting many operations around the world, extraordinary powers to intercept communications, break laws in other countries, and even use lethal force to defend the country—all in secret. When the contract is broken, trust breaks down and all sides will lose.
An essential element of the theory of retribution has been missing from courts' and legal scholars' analyses. While they have outlined a number of varieties of the theory and fleshed out their nuances, courts and scholars have largely neglected to examine which harms flowing from a criminal offender's conduct should be considered in determining that offender's desert. The more remote harms caused by an offender's conduct, such as the effects of his offenses on the families and friends of their victims or the effects of criminal conduct on society in general, are pervasive in communities across the nation. This Article takes a first look at this overlooked issue of the role that more remote harms should play in sentencing and asserts that accounting for these more remote harms under certain conditions would better reflect the basic tenets of harm-based retributivism—the theory at the heart of many sentencing schemes. The Article acknowledges some of the concerns that considering these harms raises and argues that a proximate causation analysis is essential to limit the harms considered in sentencing while acknowledging the full array of harms caused by criminal conduct. This notion of "proximate retribution" is necessary to rein in criminal liability under the theory.
Across numerous areas of the law—including family law, criminal law, labor law, health law, and other fields—when children are involved, maturity determinations are pivotal to outcomes. Upon reaching maturity, however defined, an individual has access to a range of rights not previously available and is expected to fulfill certain duties. Despite the central importance of maturity, the law's approach to it has been to consider the concept of maturity in a piecemeal and issue-specific fashion. The result is a legal construct of maturity that is anything but consistent or coherent. For example, every state has a minimum age below which a child is considered not mature enough to consent to sex. However, if money is involved, more than forty states deem that child mature enough to have consented to sex for money and be charged with the crime of prostitution (even if the money is paid to a pimp and the child never sees it). This Article seeks to undertake a holistic assessment of the law's approach to maturity.
Markers of maturity in the law frequently occur at different points in time. An examination of key indicators of maturity under the law reveals that the law is inconsistent, not only across issues but also within the same issues. Children are deemed mature enough to participate in the polity (e.g., vote) at a different age from when they are deemed mature enough to exercise independent economic power (e.g., work or contract), control their own bodies (e.g., engage in consensual sex), or assume adult social responsibilities (e.g., drink alcohol in public places).
In short, the law provides little clear guidance on how maturity should be understood and treated. Recent research on brain development and the work of cognitive psychologists provide some answers. To date, however, a significant consideration has been largely overlooked—cultural conceptions of maturity. Thus, this Article seeks to bring cultural perspectives on maturity into the dialogue. Ultimately, this Article aims to bring some clarity to the issue of maturity and examine whether cultural practices can inform the legal, policy, and moral questions in the law's approach to maturity.

How do I look after my baby's teeth?
Health visitor Odilia Gamor explains the things you can do to make sure your baby's teeth are as healthy as possible.
Show transcript
Hide transcript
How do I look after my baby's teeth? Odilia: "To brush your baby's teeth, you need a baby toothbrush, which is soft, and age-appropriate fluoride toothpaste. In between meals, give water or milk. A little bit of milk. You need to avoid juices that have got sugar in them and also avoid any chocolates and any sweets. By the time the baby is six months old, we advise, as health visitors, to give your baby's drinks in a cup. Do not give any fruit juices in a sippy cup or a bottle, because the baby takes it in drips, and so the baby's teeth have longer contact with the acid and the sugar. Usually, tooth decay always occurs in babies if their teeth are not looked after from the first tooth. Brush their teeth twice a day. Visit the dentist regularly, so that the baby does not have tooth decay when it grows up."

Seahawks LB Hawthorne expected to play
RENTON, Wash. (AP)
Seahawks linebacker David Hawthorne is expected to play Monday night against the St. Louis Rams after fully participating in practice on Saturday.
Hawthorne was a game-time decision against Philadelphia last Thursday and had a team-high six tackles and a 77-yard interception return for a touchdown.
The extended time off helped him recover and return to practice by the end of this week.
Hawthorne has been playing all season with a MCL tear in his left knee. Hawthorne suffered the injury in the second game of the preseason and missed the next three games, including the season opener against San Francisco.
