Michael Leiter, Executive Vice President for Strategy and Business Development, Leidos
It may be unpopular, but bulk data collection by the National Security Agency is effective. Technology can't replicate what bulk data collection can do for intelligence. But more effective methods could be developed so that the collection and use of data is more targeted and controlled. Those are among the findings from a major study of signal intelligence practices. The study was just completed by the National Academies. It was requested by the President and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence a year ago. Michael Leiter is an executive vice president at Leidos and a member of the committee that authored the report. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss the findings.

What role do US intelligence agencies play in the Ebola crisis?
The intelligence community appears to be avoiding becoming too deeply involved in the Ebola crisis to avoid mission creep. Besides, according to U.S. officials, their tool kit doesn't match the heavily scientific and medically- oriented information collection needs of a crisis like this.

Pentagon warns of security gaps in Afghanistan
The Department of Defense provided Congress on Wednesday the April 2014 "Report on Progress Toward Security and Stability in Afghanistan". It says although the Afghani security forces continue to make progress, four key high-end capability gaps will remain after the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission ends on Dec. 31, 2014: air support, intelligence enterprise, special operations, and Afghan security ministry capacity. International funding and coalition force assistance will be critical to sustaining the force going forward.

Hey everyone, yet more problems with my HH2. This time port forwarding is being very weird.
Im tryng to set up a terraria home server (its a video game on PC for those who don't know) and it requires TCP and UDP port 7777 to be open.
I followed this guide: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwar
I then downloaded portforward.com's program which checks to see if your ports are open, and heres the weird thing, TCP 7777 wont connect however UDP 7777 will connect. So I tried it with port UDP and TCP ports 7776 and 7778 and in this case both the TCP and UDP ports work fine for 7778 and 7776. I've triple checked to make sure I've not mistyped but as far as Im aware its correct. Any ideas what might be causing this?
[EDIT] turns out my firewall is to blame, god I feel silly now

During National CPR/AED Awareness Week, Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation Spreads The 'You Can Save A Life' Message
PITTSBURGH, June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ – The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation celebrates National CPR/AED Awareness Week by encouraging everyone to take two steps to help save a life.
- Get trained in CPR and AEDs … Find a location near you at http://bit.ly/cpraedweek2011.
- Spread the word in your community … Create a short video and share it to win at http://bit.ly/youcansavealifevideo2011 .
The 'You Can Save a Life' Video Awareness Contest invites students, parents, teachers, coaches, school nurses and health program leaders to submit short videos about the impact of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and the importance of training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use. The hope is that by creating and sharing these videos, the public will become increasingly aware of SCA, while empowering students and communities to make a difference in helping to save lives.
"We're looking for lifesavers…and each and every one of you is a candidate," said Mary Newman, president of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation. "By taking a few simple steps, any of us can be prepared to save the life of someone in our community. We hope to be flooded with videos this week that demonstrate just how simple it can be to make a positive impact on survival."
Students from elementary school through college are invited to create a short (2- to 3-minute) video promoting the importance of recognizing SCA, calling 9-1-1, giving CPR or chest compressions, and using an AED to help save a life. A panel of judges will review the entries for creativity, degree of student participation, content, and likelihood to raise awareness. While technical accuracy is not a primary focus in the judging, one of the objectives of the contest is to encourage the development–through awareness, training and confidence-building–of potentially life-saving skills. Entrants who leverage social media–YouTube, Facebook, Twitter (using the hashtag #CPRweek), etc.–to promote their video and encourage family, friends and community members to share it may gain an advantage in awareness points.
The winner in each contest category (Elementary, Secondary, College/University/Vocational Technical School) will receive a CPR Anytime(TM) Kit. The Grand Prize winner will also receive an AED–provided by Zoll Medical–and a Nintendo Wii(TM) gaming system. All winners will be featured on the Foundation's website (http://sca-aware.org) and YouTube channel (http://youtube.com/SCAFoundation).
Video entries are due June 16. Find more details at http://bit.ly/youcansavealifevideo2011.

Rural Hall, North Carolina - One of my favorite programs here at the National Rifle Association is Refuse To Be A Victim®. Why you ask? Because this safety program empowers our students to learn the basics of personal security with a few common sense every day fixes. Where to park your car, replacing the screws on your front door, safety on vacation and more are just a few of the tips that will come your way.
Those were some of the lessons learned by those who attended Betty Ashby's Refuse to be a Victim class a few weeks ago in Rural Hall, North Carolina. Apparently things went well.
"Betty was an excellent instructor," said one student. "I felt she gave us a real life impression of situations to be aware of and be prepared for. This class was an eye opening experience!"
Ashby held her class at the ProShots Indoor Range and Training facility in Rural Hall. A very active instructor, she tries to organize and run a few classes a year. She's also an alum of our The Refuse To Be A Victim® Online Instructor Development Workshop — a professionally delivered seminar model for instructor candidates to mirror while ensuring NRA's high standards of excellence and quality.
"We're very proud of all that Betty has achieved," said Ruthann M. Sprague, NRA's Refuse To Be A Victim® National Coordinator. "She's a great ambassador for our program.
Her students tend to agree.
"We will be doing some talking and planning about security – this really has me thinking. This is one of the best classes I've ever attended."

Report: Nationals "pushing hard" to land Gio Gonzalez from Athletics
Dec 19, 2011, 8:40 PM EDT
Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Nationals are "pushing hard" to acquire left-hander Gio Gonzalez from the Athletics. No word on the specific players being offered by Washington, but Rosenthal hears the two sides are discussing a four-for-one deal.
Gonzalez has drawn interest from several teams this winter. The 26-year-old left-hander is arbitration-eligible for the first time as a Super Two player, but he's still four years away from free agency. The asking price is naturally expected to be sky high.
It doesn't appear as though anything is imminent and it's possible that whoever lost out on the bidding for right-hander Yu Darvish could intensify their pursuit in the next 24 hours. The Blue Jays and Rangers (considered the favorites for Darvish) have both been linked to Gonzalez this offseason.
- tashkalucy - Dec 19, 2011 at 8:50 PM
What is with Billy Beane?
Is he ever going to keep some core players and actually attempt to build a team?
He reminds me of "Trader" Frank Lane from the late 1950's. Of course, Trader Frank once traded managers. We'll see if Beane can pull something like that off.
- dondada10 - Dec 19, 2011 at 8:59 PM
In fairness, I think he did trade Art Howe to the Mets in 2003.
- randygnyc - Dec 19, 2011 at 9:44 PM
I don't really blame Beane. He's just doing what he's told, to come in at/under a payroll number. He's forced to develop, then trade, good, young talent, for lots of good, very young talent. for things to change in Oakland, they'll need new ownership who decides to gamble and field a more expensive, winning team and hope the fans turn out with perpetual support. As it is, they could get lucky and have a competitive team for short periods of time, but long term, they're really up against it with the Rangers, and now Angels, as perennial powerhouses in their division.
- mikeyrivs23 - Dec 20, 2011 at 9:12 AM
Reminds me of the poor Expos. I miss them. Now, the Expos/Nationals are the ones trading for the top talent. Well well well, how the turntables…
- spudchukar - Dec 19, 2011 at 8:50 PM
My bet is that Ian Desmond and either Clippard and/or Storen are part of the package. Perhaps Stammen and Flores too, but doubtful if it is both.
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Dec 19, 2011 at 9:05 PM
Beane loves him some high profile middle relief. Maybe he has executive orders from Wolfe to make the team suck until they get a new park…ala Major League. But probably without the life-sized cutout of the owner in lingerie. Not that there's anything wrong with that…
- JBerardi - Dec 20, 2011 at 12:03 AM
"Maybe he has executive orders from Wolfe to make the team suck until they get a new park…"
I don't think there's any "maybe" about it.
- natstowngreg - Dec 20, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Desmond or Clippard/Storen wouldn't surprise; they were in previous trade rumors. If he got Gio, Rizzo might give up Ross Detwiler. But Beane would want a couple of prospects. Hopefully, the deal would get done without giving up Brad Peacock.
If Desmond went, Danny Espinosa could play SS. If Storen or Clippard went, Ryan Madson is still on the market. If the Jays cough up more for Gio, there are still options (Oswalt).
- Jonny 5 - Dec 19, 2011 at 9:50 PM
If the Nationals keep this up the Braves might as well forget about a W/C spot. 2 totally legit aces…. Plus if Morse actually flipped a switch and keeps playing like it's 2011, along with the rest of the team they have… Well let's just say they'll be good. Damn good. I hope some fans start showing up if this happens. Strausbionic version 2012 is sure to dazzle, and Gio is no slouch, either is Zimmerman. Yikes, second place in the NL east, here they come… Look out Bravos. I wonder how long it'll take before Harper moves up?
- spudchukar - Dec 19, 2011 at 10:46 PM
More then likely this means the Pheelies tumble to third, if they can hold off the Marlins.
- Jonny 5 - Dec 20, 2011 at 8:44 AM
- purnellmeagrejr - Dec 20, 2011 at 7:14 AM
Jonny 5 – you're pretty pumped for the 20th of December – good for you.
- natstowngreg - Dec 20, 2011 at 9:54 AM
The front-runners will return. They showed up in 2005, when the team was new (and played well for half a season). They showed up in 2008, when the park was new (before they realized the team really stunk). Fewer seats avaliable for the Phillies infestation.
- protius - Dec 19, 2011 at 11:16 PM
It's more than likely the Phillies will be rode hard, and put away wet.
- purnellmeagrejr - Dec 20, 2011 at 7:16 AM
are you going to post, "That dog don't hunt" tomorrow? I'd post more but I've hot to cut and run.
- APBA Guy - Dec 20, 2011 at 12:26 AM
Beane's been upfront about the need to build for the "new park." So guys like Gio, who are at high value now, get sold off for Haren-like deals, ie quantity of prospects.
Of course, we don't know if the new par will be in the Bay Area. It seems the visit by Selig to convey the panel's recommendations on the A's ballpark situation is always "manana".
In the meantime Wollf/Fisher will continue to alienate their fan base a la Jeffrey Loria or Peter Angelos, profiting from revenue sharing as a losing team plays in front of an empty stadium.
- b7p19 - Dec 20, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Sounds like a good job, if you can get it.
- delsj - Dec 20, 2011 at 12:51 PM
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Storen, followed by a move to sign Ryan Madson.

setting means for setting printing parameters;
a plurality of printers;
a plurality of image processing circuits located within said plurality of printers, wherein said image processing circuits are configured to expand said compressed image data for use by said plurality of printers, respectively;
printer selection means for selecting which of the plurality of printers to use, wherein the printer selection means comprise:
a scheduling function configured:
to calculate a number of prints per printer by dividing a number of prints by a number of the plurality of printers;
to send the number of prints per printer plus one to an I-th printer with a number less than a remainder number of printers; and
to send the number of prints per printer to an I-th printer with a number not less than a remainder number of printers, wherein at a beginning of a print cycle the I-th printer is initialized as a next printer after a last I-th printer of a previous print cycle; and
a controller for a) sending a specific control signal to the printer selection means and for b) sending said compressed image data to a selected one of said printers based on information provided by the setting means.
2. A printer system as described in

4. A printer system as described in
5. A printer system as described in
6. A printer system as described in
7. A printer system as described in
8. A printer system as described in
a collecting mechanism for collecting photographs printed on each of said printers, and
destination/sequence adjusting means for scheduling a transfer destination and an output sequence for image data supplied to each of said printers when printing is accomplished in parallel so that photographs can be collected in the sequence photographed.
9. A printer system as described in
This application is a U.S. National Phase application of PCT International application PCT/JP00/03227.
The present invention relates to a digital printer for automatically printing out image data read from a storage medium
Digital cameras that store image data captured with a CCD imaging element in memory are quickly become widely available. Image data stored in memory can be transferred to a personal computer and output using a color printer. However, printing is difficult for people that do not have a personal computer or are not particularly adept at such tasks. This has led to DPE services (referred to below as electronic DPE) that print electronic data output from a digital still camera, for example, being provided.
When the memory is removed from the camera and taken to a camera store that handles electronic DPE, the image data is read from memory on a terminal, sent on-line to a center, and printed to normal imaging paper in that center. The finished prints are then sent to the camera store. With this system, however, several days are required to obtain the finished prints, and this is contradictory to the speed, that is, the ability to see the pictures soon after taking them, that is one characteristic of digital cameras.
High resolution color printers that can be used for on-demand printing when [the memory] is taken to the camera shop have been developed. However, printing a number of pictures is time consuming even when plural printers are available, and because operation is not simple, customers cannot print their own pictures, resulting in high printing fees due to labor costs.
The present invention was developed to resolve the above noted problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a digital printer that is suitable for installation in convenience stores and can perform a printing process automatically and in a short time when a storage medium is simply inserted thereto.
JP 08 063305 A discloses a print system which can designate the optional one with its priority out of those print devices that are provided in the remote places. By use of printed designation information the available one of print devices that has the highest priority and is suited for designation is selected for printing.
A digital printer according to the present invention is, as shown in
As shown in claim 2, it is also possible to provide a printer usage determining means (39) for determining which printer to use so that each printer is averagely used, or to provide as shown in
Reference numeral 12 is the main processor part of a notebook computer; a control program for accomplishing the above-noted ink usage manager 38, print unit selector 39, and destination/sequence adjusting means 41 in software is stored in the internal ROM, and an interface is provided for displaying a menu of the operating procedure when printing with this system so that a desired menu selection can be entered using the touch panel 4. The above-noted image data reader 11 is connected by way of a SCSI card 12 a installed to a PC card slot provided in the main processor 12 of the notebook computer. Furthermore, a modem card 12 b can be installed to this PC card slot as necessary so that the system can be connected on-line to a maintenance company via a public phone line. The LCD 3 is connected to the external monitor terminal of the main processor 12, and the touch panel 4 is connected to a serial port.
Reference numeral 13 is a controller connected to the main processor 12 by way of a Centronics parallel port and an RS-232C port; reference numeral 14 is a printer switch 14 for selecting which of the twelve dye sublimation color printers 15 to operate based on a command from the controller 13. Each of the color printers 15 has an internal image processing circuit for developing the compressed image data supplied from printer controller 13. Reference numeral 16 is an ink changer 16 for exchanging an ink [unit] that has become empty in a color printer 15 with a spare ink [unit]. The number of prints that can be made is fixed in a dye sublimation printer regardless of the combination of colors printed, and the ink must be replaced once this specific number of prints is made.
With this digital printer, which printer 15 is used is determined under the control of the main processor 12 so that each printer 15 is averagely used; when ink is consumed in all of the printers 15, it is batch replaced with spare ink by the ink changer 16. If the spare ink supply is then also replenished at this time, ink depletion can be avoided. When the ink supply is replaced with the spare ink, it is also possible to notify the maintenance company by way of the modem card 12 b that maintenance is required.
Reference numeral 17 is a collecting device 17 for collecting in one place the prints P printed out on each printer 15. So that the collected prints are stacked in the order photographed (plural copies of the same picture are stacked together), main processor 12 has a scheduling function for adjusting the order in which the image data is sent to and output from the printers 15 according to a procedure as shown in the flow charts in
In step S51, the number of prints (minimum) per printer is obtained by dividing the number of prints by the number of printers used. In step S52, the remainder from dividing the number of prints by the number of printers used is obtained. In step S53, the i-th printer is defined as the starting printer (the first printer to operate), and the printer count j is set to 0.
In step S54, it is determined whether j is greater than or equal to the number of operating printers; if the value of j is greater than or equal to the number of operating printers, control steps to step S71, and control otherwise steps to step S55 where it is determined if the i-th printer is an error printer (that is, if printing is not possible because ink is depleted or there is no paper). If it is not an error printer, control advances to step S59; if it is an error printer, control advances to step S56.
In step S56, it is determined whether the value of i is less than the remainder number of printers; if it is less than the remainder, the number of prints per printer plus one is used as the number of prints for the i-th printer in step S57; if it is not less than the remainder, the number of prints per printer is used as the number of prints for the i-th printer in step S58.
Next, in step S59, the values of i and j are both incremented, and in step S60 it is determined whether the value of i is less than the remainder. If it is not less than the remainder, the procedure loops back to step S54; if it is less than the remainder, the value of i is set to 1 in step S61, and the procedure loops back to S54.
In step S71 the value of j is set to 0, and the j-th printer is set to the starting printer. In step S72, it is determined whether the value of i is greater than or equal to the number of operating printers. If i is greater than or equal to the number of operating printers, this procedure ends; otherwise control advances to step S73 where it is determined whether the j-th printer is an error printer. If it is not an error printer, control advances to step S78, but if it is, control advances to step S74.
In step S74, the printer number array (i) is set to j. In step S75 the number of images equal to the number of prints from the highest-order printer (No. 1) to the j-th printer is skipped. In step S76, the image number obtained by thus skipping is set to print image number array (i).
In step S77 the value of i is incremented, in step S78 the next printer is updated to the value of j, and then the procedure loops back to step S72.
In this case, image data for frame 3 is supplied to the number 9 printer 15 rather than image data for frame 1, image data for frames 4 to 8 is supplied to the number 10 to 12 printers 15, and image data for frames 1 and 2 is supplied to the number 1 and 2 printers 15.
A schedule for determining the sequence and timing for supplying specific image data to each printer 15 is described in detail below. It should be noted that for convenience the seven printers number 1 to 7 are used.
When printing is thus accomplished, prints are stacked in the tray of the No. 1 printer from top to bottom in the sequence:
frame 1 photograph
frame 2 photograph
frame 3 photograph;
in the tray of the No. 2 printer from top to bottom in the sequence:
frame 4 photograph
frame 5 photograph;
until in the tray of the No. 7 printer photographs are stacked from top to bottom in the sequence:
frame 18 photograph
frame 19 photograph
frame 20 photograph.
Therefore, if the collecting device 17 collects the pictures in the tray of each printer from the bottom, the photographs can be collected in the sequence
frame 1 photograph
frame 2 photograph
frame 3 photograph
frame 18 photograph
frame 19 photograph
frame 20 photograph.
That is, in the sequence in which the pictures were taken.
When ten prints are next printed, they are printed from the No. 2 printer.
It should be noted that if it is acceptable to not collect the photographs in the order taken, they can be printed in simple frame sequence so that, for example, frame 1 is printed to No. 3 printer, the first printer used, and frame 2 is printed to the next printer, No. 4. In this case, collecting device 17 is not particularly necessary, and the prints obtained from each printer can be simply collected in one place using a chute, for example.
In this conventional method it is not possible to advance to the next process until image data has been JPEG expanded and the image data has been transferred to the printer. Furthermore, the data transfer itself is time consuming because the data is transferred after image data expansion, thus increasing the time needed to print a plurality of pictures.
In the present invention as shown in
In printer switch 14, buffer 14 a temporarily stores and supplies to each printer 15 image data supplied by way of controller 13. Selector SEL2 selects which printer 15 to use, and selector SELL returns busy signals from a selected printer 15.
A sequence of screen operations for when modes M1, M3, and M5 are selected in sequence is shown in
During standby, the image printing service M1 and write service M2 menu shown in S1 is presented. If the image printing service M1 is selected, a prompt for loading a memory card, camera, or other storage device such as a memory card is presented as shown in S2. When any of these is loaded, the image data is read, and a screen such as shown in S3 is presented.
Image files can be stored without a directory structure such as with a PC card, or image files can be stored with a directory structure, and the file structure differs according to the manufacturer of the digital still camera. The ease of use of this printer would be poor if each directory needed to be individually specified in order to read files. Therefore, in the present embodiment image files are first read from the root directory, then any subdirectory if located, and image files in the subdirectory are read. If there is a lower subdirectory under a particular subdirectory, image files in that further subdirectory are additionally retrieved. Compatibility with a variety of directory structures can be achieved and image files can be read by using this type of retrieval method. If files are read from an MO disc, files are read in the same way.
Next, as shown in S4, a menu for the batch printing mode M5 and selected image print service M6 is displayed. If the batch printing service M5 is selected here, menu S5 containing a batch print service for all images, and a service for batch printing only marked images, is displayed. Whichever mode is selected, the print paper size selection screen is displayed next as shown in S6. Then, as shown in S7, the number of prints and the cost when printing all frames one at a time (or the marked frames) are displayed. It is also possible to make plural prints as needed. When printing is started, how much more time is needed for printing is displayed and shown in a bar graph as shown in S8. When printing is completed, a screen as shown in S28 in
A sequence of screen operations for when modes M1, M3, and M6 are selected in sequence is shown in
When image printing service M1 is selected in S11, and print mode M3 for printing from a memory card, camera, or storage device (Superdisk) is selected, the image data is read in S12 and print mode M6 for print selection is selected in S13, input for selecting whether the images are marked or not is awaited as shown in S14. As shown next in S15, thumbnail images of all images are displayed with the marked images indicated by, for example, a border therearound, thus enabling the marked images to be changed in this screen. If no images are marked, the images to be printed can be selected in this screen. Next in S16, the number of prints to make for each image to be printed is specified. Next, as shown in S17, a print paper size selection screen is presented. Then, as shown in S18, the number of prints and the printing cost are displayed.
A sequence of screen operations for when modes M1 and M4 are selected in sequence is shown in
When image printing service M1 is selected in S21 and then print service M4 for printing images from a storage device is selected, a folder in the storage device is displayed as shown in S22. If the folder to be printed is specified here, thumbnail sketches of all corresponding images are presented as shown in S23. The images desired for printing are selected in this screen. Next in S24, the number of prints to make for the images to be printed is specified. Next, as shown in S25, the print paper size selection screen is displayed. Then, as shown in S26, the number of prints and the printing cost are displayed. How much more time is needed for printing is then displayed and shown in a bar graph as shown in S27. When printing is completed, a display as shown in S28 is presented.
A sequence of screen operations for when mode M2 is selected is shown in
When the write service M2 is selected in S31, a prompt instructing insertion of a medium containing the images to be stored and a memory device for storage is displayed. When the specified operation is accomplished, the image data to be stored is written as shown in S32. A table of folders in the memory device for storage is then presented as shown in S33, and the folder to be written to is then specified. When a title for the stored image is then entered in S34, a title confirmation screen is displayed as shown in S35 and the cost for recording is also displayed. If a write start command is then entered, storing the image data begins as shown in S36, and when recording is completed the displays in S37 and S38 are presented.
In the first embodiment described above, the printers are averagely used to avoid frequent ink replacement, and ink replacement is accomplished at once when ink is depleted for all printers. If ink replacement is accomplished automatically by means of ink changer 16, ink can be replaced in a relatively short time even if the ink is depleted in all printers while printing is in progress, and no inconvenience results. However, the cost increases by the amount for the ink changer. Furthermore, if an ink changer is not used, ink replacement must be done manually for all printers at one time. This is time-consuming and requires that any customer be kept waiting while the ink is replaced. It is therefore practically difficult to not use an ink changer.
A second embodiment of the present invention therefore has the function of a printer usage priority determining means 39 a in place of the function of the above-noted print unit selector 39. This function selects the printer used so that the frequency of use of a single particular specific printer increases, and when the ink is depleted in that printer selects a separate printer to be used so that the frequency of use of that printer increases.
To increase the usage frequency, a printer (called the starting printer) is selected for priority use for printing operations. If the starting printer is, for example, the No. 1 printer, printing is always started from the No. 1 printer, and when the ink is depleted the No. 2 printer, for example, is set as the starting printer.
Operation of each printer based on this priority usage printer designation is shown in the flow chart in
If there is a printer 15 that is operating, control advances to step S105 from step S103, and the number of operating printers is set to P. In step S106, it is determined whether an error has occurred in the starting printer; if not, control advances to step S107; if there has, the number of the starting printer is incremented in step S108, and the starting printer is redefined as the incremented number. In step S109, it is determined whether the number of the starting printer at this time exceeds P. If not, control advances to step S107, but if it has, the operating printer with the lowest number is designated as the starting printer in step S110, and control advances to step S107.
In step S107 the starting printer number is set to I. In step S111, the I-th printer is checked, and whether has occurred is determined in step S112. If there is an error, control advances to step S113, and it is determined whether the I-th printer is the starting printer. If the I-th printer is the starting printer, the value of I is incremented in step S117, the starting printer is set to the incremented I number, and the procedure loops back to S111.
On the other hand, if the I-th printer is determined not the starting printer in the evaluation of step S113, control advances to step S115, it is determined if there is no operating printer, and if there is not, paper is replenished and ink is replaced in step S116, and then control proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, if the evaluation of S115 determines that there is an operating printer, the value of I is incremented in step S117, and then the procedure loops back to step S111.
If in the evaluation of step S112 there is no error in the I-th printer, control advances to step S118 and image data is sent to the lath printer. That the transferred image data is expanded from JPEG image data to bitmap data on the printer 15 side, and processing the next image data proceeds without waiting for this image expansion process, are the same as in the control in the previous embodiment (
Next, the value of I is incremented in step S119, and in step S120 it is determined whether I exceeds the operating printer count P; if it does, control advances to step S121, the operating printer with the lowest number is set to I, and control advances to step S122. However, if I does not exceed P, control advances to step S122.
In step S122 the value of the number of remaining prints is decremented, then in step S123 it is determined whether N has reached 0; if it is not 0, the procedure loops back to step S111, but if it is 0, that is, printing the desired number of prints has been completed, this control procedure ends.
An actual printing operation based on this type of control is described next with reference to
When three prints are requested the first time, the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 printers 15 are selected as the printers to use so that the No. 1 printer is included by priority, and printing is then accomplished using these printers. It should be noted here that the "ON" in "ON/19" shown in the figure indicates the printer is operating, "19" indicates the number of prints remaining after printing, and each printer can make twenty prints after replacing the ink.
If two prints are requested the second time, printing is again accomplished on the No. 1 and No. 2 printers so that the starting printer, No. 1, is included by priority, and when five prints are requested the third time, the No. 1 to No. 5 printers are used for printing.
When two prints are requested the 21st time, the No. 1 and No. 2 printers are used for printing in the same way. However, because the number of remaining prints reaches 0 after using printer No. 1, the starting printer is reset to the No. 2 printer at the next printing operation (the 22nd time), the No. 1 printer is set to an error printer status, and the No. 1 printer is removed from the usable printer list. That the number of remaining prints in the No. 1 printer is again 20 at the 23rd printing operation is because the error printer status was cancelled as a result of the ink being replaced.
Because the number of remaining prints also goes to 0 in the No. 2 printer, which is now designated as the starting printer, during the 22nd printing operation, the No. 3 printer is designated as the starting printer in the 23rd printing operation. The sequence for designating the starting printer thus changes in the sequence
No. 1→No. 2→No. 3→ . . . No. 11″No. 20
so that if the ink is replaced in the No. 1 printer, it will be designated next as the starting printer.
It should be noted that to simplify the description for printing according to the flow chart shown in
By accomplishing image processing such as expanding compressed images in the individual printers as described above, it is possible to greatly reduce the time required to print a plurality of images when a plurality of images is printed in parallel on a plurality of printers because the data transfer time is short as a result of the size of the image data sent to a single printer being small, and the next image can be immediately sent to a separate printer as soon as data transfer is completed.
Furthermore, by averagely using a plurality of printers in a first embodiment (claim 2) of the present invention, ink and paper can be replenished en masse to all printers when the ink is depleted or paper runs out, and the frequency of maintenance can be reduced.
Moreover, by using a predetermined printer with priority so that that printer runs out of ink or paper first in a second embodiment (claim 4) of the present invention and replenishing ink or paper to that printer as they are depleted, a configuration not having an ink changer can be easily achieved because it is unlikely that all printers will run out of ink at the same time.

The Sweetwater VFW Post 2479 held its annual Veteran's Day Flag Raising ceremony at the local VFW post this morning. Several citizens were present to watch the flag being raised and enjoy coffee and donuts. Judge Tim Fambrough, who served as guest speaker, talked about the transition made from freedom fighter to American veteran. He urged those in attendance to assist veterans through charities, service and other efforts. Fambrough also offered various statistics about veterans, including the fact that there are over 23 million American veterans today, even those currently serving.
Hoyt House honored veterans with a pancake breakfast and presentation by guest speaker, Nolan County Veterans Service Officer Robert McBride. McBride spoke about how Veterans Day is becoming undercelebrated. We are currently in the longest running war, The War on Terror, and we have the fastest sinking veteran population. He reminded the audience, for veterans, everyday is Veterans Day. Pictured above, in no particular order, are veterans: Lewis Davis, T.A. Rosson, Nolan County Judge Tim Fambrough, Sam Smith, James Vaughn and NCVSO Robert McBride.
The Roscoe American Legion Post #227 honored veterans with a full breakfast. Local recruiter, Raymond Medellin was the guest speaker. According to Donnie Willman, the breakfast is important to bring all veterans together. "Their service is the reason that we have our freedom," Willman said. Bill Talbert continued to say, being a prisoner of war is tough, but there is nothing worse than a country that doesn't have the pride or the freedom to remember their veterans.

SITE-Specific Management Approaches and Redevelopment Tools Electronic (SMARTE)
Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
EPA and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) continue an ongoing partnership to gain an understanding of each other's approach to the cleanup of chemical contamination. Cleaning up and reinvesting in previously used properties:
- preserves natural areas and working farms and ranches;
- protects wildlife; improves water, soil, and air quality; and
- protects human health.
Starting in 2000, the U.S.-German Bilateral Working Group conducted studies to identify elements of brownfield redevelopment and understand which elements posed the most difficulties during a redevelopment effort. The group discussed tools that could be developed to assist stakeholders in overcoming the barriers to redevelopment that were identified. SMARTe, an open-source, computer- and Web-based decision support system, is one of these tools. SMARTe stands for Sustainable Management Approaches and Revitalization Tools – Electronic and is available at www. SMARTe.org. SMARTe will aid stakeholders who are developing and evaluating options for reusing potentially contaminated properties.
The goal of SMARTe is to help stakeholders, such as community organizations, governments, and developers, identify, apply, and integrate tools and technology for sustainable revitalization.

CCISD OKs hiring 13 fifth-grade teachers
Trustees voted unanimously Monday night to approve the measure, which will reduce the number of students per teacher from 29 to 25.
The $550,000 cost to the district is included in the district's 2006-07 budget, which is pending approval later this month.
District officials hope by narrowing the teacher-to-student ratio, fifth grade TAKS scores will improve, which could mean an overall rating improvement to the district. The district is rated academically acceptable.
Some trustees also expressed interest in further narrowing the teacher-to-student ratio to 1:22.
Trustee Louis Garza said adding 17 fifth grade teachers to further lower the ratio would be worth the estimated $700,000 cost to the district because it would improve quality of instruction.
Trustee Larry Elizondo said further reducing the ratio would be ideal but recommended the board take time to study the issue.
"Any time you can improve teacher-to-student ratio, it's an improvement," he said. "I think we need to take it slow."
Trustees asked the district's administration to present information about further reducing the ratio to 1:22 at the district's budget hearing on Monday.

HANOVER TWP. — It's about a week late, but at least Hanover Area is going to get another crack at Meyers.
First, though, the Hawkeyes had to dispose of rival Nanticoke on Thursday in the District 2 Class 2A boys basketball playoffs. They did so in workman-like fashion.
Jake Barber scored 19 points, including the 1,000th of his career, and three others scored eight as Hanover Area pulled away late for a 52-35 victory.
Hanover Area's defense was strong, holding Nanticoke to its third lowest scoring output of the season and 30 percent shooting from the field. The Hawkeyes annihilated the Trojans on the boards with a 36-19 rebounding advantage. And a 7-0 run to start the fourth quarter allowed them to open up a 37-25 lead.
And get a shot at second-seeded Meyers (16-7) on Saturday in the quarterfinals. The teams split their regular-season games.
Seventh-seeded Hanover Area (16-7) appeared headed for a meeting with the Mohawks last Monday for the Wyoming Valley Conference Division III championship. Meyers, though, upset GAR on Sunday at the same time Hanover Area was routing Northwest, nixing the possibility of a title game.
"We thought GAR was going to win," Barber said, "but they let us down. We were a little upset we didn't get to play, but we knew we could get them again in the playoffs. We just had to take care of business tonight and we'd get another shot at them."
Considering Hanover Area squeezed out a 59-57 victory over Nanticoke during the WVC season and the last three meetings were decided by three points or less, the task wasn't going to be easy. Yet the Hawkeyes led wire-to-wire as 10th-seeded Nanticoke (9-14) got off to a terrible start.
"We knew from the first time we played them we were going to struggle rebounding the basketball," Nanticoke coach John Beggs said. "We tried to force some deep outside shots and focus our emphasis on boxing out. They're just strong guys. Their four man and five man are strong guys. And their guards also rebounded well today, and that was something we didn't expect to happen."
Anthony Marcincavage, who is also a lineman on the football team, had nine rebounds, as did Barber. Bobby Kerestes added eight and guard Ronnie Moreno added six. Hanover Area's ability on the boards was obvious to start the third as its first three basket came on offensive rebounds.
Still, Nanticoke trailed just 30-25 entering the fourth. Hanover Area's 7-0 run to start the final eight minutes coupled by a 7-3 burst a bit later put the game out of reach.
"It's going to be a challenge," Hanover Area coach Steve Harnischfeger said of playing Meyers. "We wanted to play the other night, we didn't get a chance. Meyers did their job, and now we have the chance. I'm very close to (Meyers coach) Pat (Toole). I'll talk to him tomorrow. We have to come out and play defense."
Hanover Area did just that against Nanticoke, a team that averaged 61 points in its last three games. Mike Malshefski and Scott Stout, who both averaged in double figures during the WVC season, combined for just seven points. Center Brent Piontkowski had a team-high 13.

From a new interface to timesaving content galleries, the latest version of Word brings a lot to the table. Instructor David Rivers explains each of its new features and attributes, from understanding and navigating its new interface, to using new formatting controls and extensive page layout techniques. Whether new to Word or wanting to learn about the new version, Rivers gives insight for increased productivity and professional documents with Word 2007. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.
Just so you know, in Microsoft Word researching and looking up words means the exact same thing. If you want to find synonyms for words, antonyms or even translations for example, they can all be done from the Research pane and in the last lesson, we found synonyms using the built-in thesaurus. Now let's look at translations for words. We're using job posting 13, that's the name of the document up here in the title bar, and if you're jumping to this lesson then you haven't followed along with us to this point, no problem. You can catch up by going to the Office button, then down to Open, navigating to the Lesson 7 folder and clicking job posting 14 and then Open.
So here's our document that we're going to work what I want to show you how to activate the Research pane next and you can do it a couple different ways. Let's say down here in our first bullet, we want to look up a word like "internal" here. Well, we can right-click on the word internal and simply come up here to Look Up. When I click it, the Research pane is launched, the word internal shows up inside the Search field, and down below you can see that All Reference Books are open right now. I've got the Encarta Dictionary, Thesaurus, Translation shows up down below. Yours may not all be expanded like this.
Some of them may have plus signs and that means that they are collapsed and can be expanded. So I'm just going to close up my Research pane and show you the other way, which is to highlight the word. I'm going to double click "internal" this time. Go up to the Review tab on the ribbon and over here in the Proofing group on the left-hand side, I've got the Research button. And because I selected internal ahead of time, when I click Research, the Research pane opens up and the word internal shows up in the Search for field Excellent.
So just for fun, let's go down to in-house over here. Click the drop-down arrow to the right and insert it to replace internal with in-house. So that makes sense. All right. This next feature I love and I use it a lot. You see, I live in a country that is officially designated as bilingual. In Canada our two official languages are English and French. Now I'm English-speaking, obviously. So I often need help with French words. Well, the word Patisserie. I mean, we see it all over our document, and we've seen it in many of the documents we been working with to this point, but so you really know the translation? It's a French word, so let's look it up in English.
We need to find the word patisserie and we don't have to look far. It's right here in the first line of the first paragraph. I'm going to right-click it and I'm in it go down to Look Up. So my Research pane is already open, it stays open, but now the Search for field is filled with the word patisserie. I'm going to go down to Translation, make sure that it's expanded, and when I click the plus sign, you can see that there are no results found. Why's that? Because by default we're translating from English to French when really, patisserie is a French word that we need translated to English.
So just the opposite. So I'm going to click this drop down in the From field and change it to French and automatically it will be translating to English. As I scroll down, there's my word patisserie. You can see it's a feminine word and down below it means cake shop. Cool. All right, so we can get translations for our words, just like that. Now this next feature is kind of cool as well if you use translations a lot. What you can do is have screen tips appear with translations whenever you hover over words with your mouse.
And here's how you do that. Just pick any old word like the word "design" right here. I'm going to right-click it and I'm to come down to Translate and you'll see that there's a check mark down here next to Turn Off Translation ScreenTip. So by default it's turned off. But let's say I wanted to see translations in French, then I would click French. Now all I have to do is hover over a word, any word like involved, and I'm going to see it's an adjective and I can see complique is the word. As if I hover over design.
There's another translation. It's a noun or if I want to use the verb, which is a transitive verb, you can see it's a different translation. So kind of neat. I'm getting a synonyms plus I'm also getting the translation to French. If I right-click and go down to Translate and choose a different language, same thing. For example Spanish. Now as I hover over words I'll see the Spanish translations. To turn that off when you're done with it, no problem, right-click any old word, go over to Translate and go back down here to Turn Off Translation ScreenTip.
And when we click that, now when we hover over words, we don't get those translations popping up. All right. So enjoy having a built-in translator at your fingertips. Next we're going to look at some of the many proofing options you have to choose from, including translation options, spelling options and those automatically correcting options you often come across.
