This invention relates generally to providing error resilience and concealment for video data.
Video communication is becoming a popular form of communication over the Internet, wireless telephones, and other video telephones. The primary challenge for video communications is the enormous bandwidth required for transmitting video signals. As such, developers have turned to video compression and have proposed a variety of standards for compressing video signals before transmission. One such standard is the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG-2) standard, which is described in ISO/IEC 13818-1 (MPEG-2 Systems), ISO/IEC 13818-2 (MPEG-2 Video), dated in 1994 and provided by the International Organization For Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
One inherent problem with video communications systems is that information may be altered or lost during transmission due to channel noise, for example. As such, error recovery methods are becoming increasingly popular because of the growing interest of transmitting video over unreliable channels, such as wireless networks and the Internet.
Currently, MPEG standards define three types of frames, namely intraframe (I-type) frames, which use no temporal prediction, interframe (P-type) frames, which are predictively encoded based on past I- or P-type frames, and bi-directionally predicted (B-type) frames, which are predictively encoded based on past or future I- or P-type frames. The error resilience and concealment techniques so far have focused primarily on P-type frames, because B-type frames are generally not used for low bitrate MPEG-4 and H.263 compression. Error resilience and concealment techniques, however, may sometimes be complex and computationally taxing. Complex error resilience techniques, for example, may require more bandwidth allocation for error resilience. Additionally, complex error resilience or concealment techniques may require high-speed, and oft expensive, hardware resources. As such, efficient methods of providing error resilience and error concealment that take advantage of cases where B-type frames are used in addition to P-type frames may be desirable.
Efficient techniques may also be desirable in modifying the error resilience of an encoded video bitstream. For example, a device receiving an encoded video bitstream may need to retransmit, or, alternatively, store the encoded video bitstream. In the process of storing or re-transmitting the encoded video bitstream, the device, such as a cell phone or a personal digital assistance (PDA), may perform undesirable complex computations, which may not only consume additional energy but may also be operationally inefficient.
Thus, there is a need to provide an efficient method of error resilience before transmission, retransmission, or storage, and an efficient method of error concealment while receiving an encoded video bitstream.
The invention may be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals identify like elements, and in which:
Referring to
In the exemplary arrangement of
The communications system 10 may include a network router 35 through which one or more of the network telephones 20(1-m) may communicate with other telecommunications devices over the data network 12. The term "network telephones" may include any device, such as a computer or an Internet phone that is capable of communicating with another telecommunications device over the data network 12. In an alternative embodiment, it may be possible for one or more of the network telephones 20(1-m) to interface with the data network 12 without the network router 35.
One or more wireless phones 25 (1-p) may communicate with a base station 37, which may, in one embodiment, be coupled to the data network 12 through a controller 40 and a gateway 45. The controller 40 may also be coupled to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 50 that supports the one or more telephones 15(1-n). The PSTN 50 may be coupled to the data network 12 through a gateway 55.
In one embodiment, any one of the telecommunications devices may be able of to communicate with any of the other telecommunications devices of FIG. 1. Thus, for example, the wireless telephone 25(1) may be capable of communicating with another wireless telephone 25(2-p) or, alternatively, may be capable of communicating with one of the network telephones 20(1-m) or the telephones 15(1-n), and vice versa.

The Moving Pictures Experts Group, known as MPEG, was established in 1988 to develop a standard for the compression of both video and audio data streams. The MPEG-2 standard, for example, was defined in 1990 to support television applications including broadcast transmissions. MPEG-2 refers to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 13818-1 (systems), 13818-2 (video), 13818-3 (audio) and 13818-4 (compliance) (1994).
Under the guidance of the MPEG-2 standard, several techniques for performing video compression are now widely employed. For each technique used during the encoding process, a corresponding inverse technique may be used during decoding of the video.
Referring again to
The encoder 200 receives, in one embodiment, an input video stream that passes through a subtractor 205 to a discrete cosine transform (DCT) block 210. In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, pictures are coded (or encoded) by the encoder 200 in at least one of three modes: I-type frame (sometimes also referred to as "intra-code pictures"), P-type frame (sometimes also referred to as "predictive coded pictures"), and B-type frame (sometimes also referred to as "bi-directionally predictive coded pictures). I-type frames are typically encoded without any relation to the previous image, which means that such frames may be decoded without knowledge of other frames. For P-type frames, the current image is predicted from a previously reconstructed image, and the difference between the current image and the predicted image (sometimes referred to as the residual image) is encoded. The B-type frames are predictively encoded based on past or future images. Typically, the basic unit of information that is operated upon is called a macroblock.
The DCT block 210 process portions, called blocks, of a macroblock. Using a DCT, a set of frequency coefficients that can typically be encoded with fewer bits than the pixel-domain description of each block are found. The output signal of the DCT block 210 is provided to an input terminal of a quantizer block 215.
The quantizer block 215 quantizes the coefficients created during the DCT operation such that, in one embodiment, the coefficients may be represented using fewer bits. Some loss of information usually occurs during this process, which is why MPEG-2 is known as a "lossy" compression technique. The quantization method may be adjusted, depending on the image, to minimize the amount of information lost during quantization.
An output signal from the quantizer block 215 is provided to an inverse quantizer block 218, the output signal of which is provided to an inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) block 220. An adder 224 receives an output signal from the IDCT block 220 and from a motion compensation block 226, sums the two signals, and provides an output signal to a frame buffer 228. In one embodiment, the frame buffer 228 stores one or more previously transmitted video frames. An output signal from the frame buffer 228 is provided to the motion compensation block 226, as well as to the motion estimator block 230.
The motion estimator block 230 receives the output signal from the frame buffer 228 and the incoming video stream and provides an output signal to the motion compensation block 226. In one embodiment, the motion estimation block 230 compares previously transmitted pictures to the present picture data in order to generate motion vectors for temporal compression of the picture data in the video bitstream. The motion compensation block 226, in one embodiment, generates a predicted picture signal that is provided to the subtractor 205.
The output from the quantizer block 215 is provided to an error resilience (ER) portion 204. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the ER portion 204 provides a different error resilience technique for I-type, P-type, and B-type frames. Error resilience techniques typically limit the scope of degradations that errors in the compressed video cause in the decoded video bitstream. In an alternative embodiment, a common error resilience technique may be employed for I-type and P-type frames. For the I-type frames, in one embodiment, an error resilience block 238 may perform the desired error resilience. The particular technique applied by the error resilience block 238 may be implementation specific, depending on the desired goals.
For the P-type frames, in one embodiment, the error resilience technique includes data partitioning by a data partitioning block 240, reversible variable length coding by a reversible length code (RVLC) block 242, header extension coding by a header extension code (HEC) block 244, and resynchronization marking by a resynchronization marker (RM) block 246.
The RM block 246, in one embodiment, places markers (e.g., a unique code) every selected number of bits apart so that the receiving device can resynchronize with the transmitting device whenever an error is detected. Resynchronization markers signal the beginning of what is known as a video packet. A video packet begins with a new macroblock and each packet is typically independent of other packets (i.e., a video packet can be decoded regardless of any other packets being lost). Thus, resynchronization markers allow the decoder to find a place in the bitstream where the decoder can begin correctly parsing data after an error is detected. For P-type frames, in one embodiment, the RM block 246 uses resynchronization markers approximately every 750 bits, although, in other embodiments, a different interval may be used.
The data-partitioning block 240, in one embodiment, partitions the macroblock data within a video packet in a manner that allows a receiving telecommunications device to recover more data from a corrupted video packet. As an example, for P-type frames, the macroblock data may be partitioned into a motion part and a texture part (e.g., DCT coefficients) separated by a unique motion marker (MM), where the MM indicates to the receiving device the end of the motion information and the beginning of texture portion. Thus, if only the texture information is lost, data partitioning allows the use of motion information to conceal errors in a more effective manner. In other embodiments, other data partitioning techniques may be employed.
The RVLC block 242, in one embodiment, allows the receiving telecommunications device to recover more DCT coefficient data from a corrupted texture partition. Typically, RVLCs are designed such that they can be decoded both in the forward and backward direction. That is, while decoding the video bitstream in the forward direction, if the receiving telecommunications device detects an error it can jump to the next resynchronization marker and start decoding the bitstream in the backward direction until it encounters an error. Based on the two error locations, the receiving telecommunications device can recover some of the data that would have otherwise been discarded. Because the error may not be detected as soon as it occurs, the receiving telecommunications device may conservatively discard additional bits around the corrupted region. Thus, without RVLCs, more data in the texture partition of the video packet may have to be discarded.
The HEC block 244, in one embodiment, duplicates at least a portion of the header information in the video frame to reduce the number of discarded video frames. Typically, the header of each video frame contains useful information, such as the spatial dimensions of the video data, the time stamps associated with the decoding and the presentation of this video data, and the type of current frame (e.g., I-type, P-type, B-type). If some of this information becomes corrupted due to channel errors, the receiving telecommunications device typically has to discard all of the information belonging to the current video frame. In one embodiment, as mentioned above, the HEC block 244 duplicates at least a portion of the header information so that, in case of a corruption in the header information, the duplicate information may be used to verify and correct the header information of the video frame.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a different error resilience technique is utilized for B-type frames. In some embodiments, a simpler (e.g., computationally less complex) error resilience technique may be employed. Although not so limited, in the illustrated embodiment the B-type frames are processed by a variable length coder (VLC) block 255 and a resynchronization marker block (RM) 260. The VLC block 255, in one embodiment, replaces frequently occurring bit patterns with codes of shorter length, thereby reducing the total number of bits to be transmitted. In one embodiment, the RM block 260 applies resynchronization markers at a longer interval than that used for P-type frames (e.g., every 2000 bits for B-type frames versus every 750 bits for P-type frames). In alternate embodiments, the same or longer interval than that applied for P-type frames may be employed for B-type frames. Typically, the longer the interval, the less bandwidth that is required for error resilience since not as many resynchronization markers and bits are inserted in the video bitstream to align video packets with macroblock borders and achieve constant bit length intervals between markers.

If (at 330) the encoded macroblock is not a B-type frame, then the encoder 200 determines if (at 355) the encoded macroblock is a P-type frame. If the encoded macroblock is a P-type frame, then, in one embodiment, the error resilience is provided (at 360) by the data partitioning block 240, the RVLC block 242, the HEC block 244, and the RM block 246 of FIG. 2.
If (at 355) the encoded macroblock is not a P-type frame, then the error resilience is provided (at block 365) for I-type frames by the error resilience block 238 of the encoder 200.
The video bitstream may be, in one embodiment, transmitted (at 370) after the error resilience is complete. The transmitted encoded video bitstream may be received, in one embodiment, by a receiving telecommunications device, as described more fully below.

The decoder 400 in the illustrated embodiment includes an error concealment portion 410 and a decoding portion 420. The decoder 400 is described in separate portions 410, 420 for illustrative purposes only, as in alternative embodiments some elements of the two portions 410, 420 may overlap.
The error concealment portion 410 of the decoder 400 receives, in one embodiment, the transmitted video bitstream that was encoded by the encoder of FIG. 2. In one embodiment, the error concealment portion 410 of the decoder 400 includes three error concealment paths, one for each of the three different types (e.g., I, P, B) of frames. In an alternative embodiment, the I-type and P-type frames may share a common error concealment path. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the decoder 400 employs a different error concealment technique for B-type frames than for P-type frames. In one embodiment, the error concealment technique may be simpler, and thereby require less processing than the error concealment technique for P-type frames.
For the P-type frames, error concealment may be performed by a reversible variable-length decoding (RVLD) block 425 and an error concealment (EC) block 430. The RVLD block 425, in one embodiment, decodes the coding performed by the RVLC block 242 of the encoder 200 (see FIG. 2). The EC block 430, in one embodiment, may perform error concealment based on temporal, spatial, or frequency-domain prediction of the lost data. One form of temporal error concealment may be to copy the lost data from a previous frame. Sometimes the missing motion vector may be predicted from neighboring macroblocks, or the motion vector may not have been lost if data-partitioning tools are used. Temporal concealment generally may not be used for the first frame. Concealment in the spatial domain, in one embodiment, may involve more computation for interpolation. In some instances, frequency-domain interpolation may be more convenient, by estimating the DC value and possibly some low-order DCT coefficients.
For the I-type frames, error concealment may be performed by an error concealment (EC) block 445, in one embodiment. The particular technique employed for the EC block 445 may generally be implementation specific.
For the B-type frames, error concealment may be performed by a variable-length decoding (VLD) block 435 and an error concealment block 440. In one embodiment, the VLD block 435 decodes the information encoded in the received compressed video stream, such as DCT coefficients, motion vectors, and mode information. Although not so limited, in the illustrated embodiment, the EC block 440 performs a relatively simple form of error concealment by copying the lost data from the same location in a previous frame. For example, if the first macroblock of a current frame is lost or otherwise corrupted, the EC block 440 may retrieve the first block from a previously received frame and uses it in place of the lost block in the current frame.
In an alternative embodiment, the EC block 440 may perform an error concealment technique involving motion compensated block copy, which, in one embodiment, entails using motion vectors to recover the lost block. That is, the EC block 440 may use recovered motion vectors to determine which block(s) of the previous frame better correspond to the missing block(s) lost in the current frame, and then use those block(s) to replace the lost block. As an example, assuming that a first block of the frame is corrupted or lost, the EC block 440 may determine that it is in fact the second block in the previous frame that is closest in appearance to the first (i.e., lost) block in the current frame based on the recovered motion vectors. As such, the EC block 440, in one embodiment, may use the second block in the previous frame for error concealment instead of the first block of the previous frame. Thus, if header and motion information from a macroblock is available, it may be possible to effectively conceal the corrupted texture data.
The decoding portion 420 of the decoder 400, in one embodiment, comprises an inverse quantizer (IQ) block 460, an inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) block 465, a frame buffer 470, and a motion compensation (MC) block 475 in one embodiment. The IQ block 460 receives an output signal from the error concealment portion 410 of the decoder 400. The IQ block 460 processes the output signal from the error concealment portion 410 and provides an output signal to the IDCT 465. A signal adder 480 adds an output signal from the IDCT block 465 to an output signal from the MC block 475 and provides an uncompressed video signal that may be displayed on a display device (not shown) of a telecommunications device, for example.
In one embodiment, the uncompressed signal may also provide a second signal adder 485, which provides an output signal that is the sum of the uncompressed signal and the output signal from the motion compensation block 475 to the frame buffer 470. In one embodiment, the frame buffer 470 stores one or more of the previously received frames. The frame buffer 470 provides its output signal to the motion compensation block 475, which, in one embodiment, also receives the motion vectors associated with the incoming video bitstream.
In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, using different, and in some instances simpler, error resilience techniques, error concealment techniques, and configurations for B-type frames may reduce computational complexity and the bandwidth consumed by error resilience. As a result, reduction in computational complexity for B-type frame processing can result in energy consumption reduction, as well as a reduction in processing speed requirements. It may be possible to simplify error resilience and concealment techniques for B-type frames because the errors in such frames do not generally affect other frames in the video sequence like the errors can in P-type or I-type frames. Thus, even with a greater error occurrence in B-type frames, (because of simpler error resilience and/or concealment techniques) the overall impact may be relatively benign, in some cases, as the errors in B-type frames may not typically propagate temporally.
In alternative embodiments, a variety of techniques and/or configurations (e.g., resynchronization markers at every pre-selected intervals) may be employed for error resilience and/or error concealment. Furthermore, one or more embodiments of the present invention may be extended to other video compression methods.

The error-resilience modifier 500, in one embodiment, includes an error concealment (EC) block 510 and an error resilience (ER) block 520. In one embodiment, the EC block 510 forwards the motion vectors it recovers to the ER block 520. A telecommunications device having the error-resilience modifier 500 may, in one embodiment, receive an encoded video bitstream, perform error concealment and error resilience on the encoded video bitstream using the EC block 510 and ER block 520, respectively, and then retransmit or store (depending on the implementation) the modified video bitstream.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the error-resilience modifier 500 is able to perform error concealment and error resilience on the received encoded video bitstream without employing one or more of the computationally complex blocks in the encoding portion 202 (see
In one embodiment, the error-resilience modifier 500 is able to modify the error resilience bits of the incoming encoded video signal to better match the channel used for retransmission or storage, which may result in improved video quality or coding efficiency. For example, the error-resilience modifier 500 may enhance the error resilience technique for retransmission over more noisy channels, which may improve video quality. Alternatively, the error-resilience modifier 500 may employ a less robust error resilience technique (or none at all in an alternative embodiment) when transmitting to a less noisy device, such as a storage unit, which may improve coding efficiency since fewer bits may be used for error resilience.

Although not so limited, for illustrative purposes and ease of illustration, a method 702 of
The error-resilience modifier 500′ determines (at 730) if the current frame of the encoded bitstream is a B-type frame, and, if so, then the EC portion 410 performs (at 740) error concealment on the B-type frame using the VLD and EC blocks 435, 440. The ER portion 204 of the error-resilience modifier 500′ performs (at 750) error resilience on the B-type frame based on the re-transmission channel characteristics using, in one embodiment, the VLC block 255 and RM block 260. That is, the complexity (i.e., robustness) of the error resilience technique may depend on the signal-to-noise ratio of the communication channel, for example. That is, a noisier channel may call for a more robust error resilience technique, while a relatively noiseless channel may not require much error resilience, if at all. For modifying error resilience of B-type frames, in one embodiment, computationally less complex error concealment and resilient techniques (as compared to the techniques used for P-type frames) may be used.
The error-resilience modifier 500′ determines (at 765) if the current frame of the encoded bitstream is a P-type frame, and, if so, then the EC portion 410 performs (at 770) error concealment on the P-type frame using the RVLD and EC blocks 425, 430. The ER portion 204 of the error-resilience modifier 500′ performs (at 775) error resilience on the P-type frame based on the re-transmission channel characteristics using, in one embodiment, the data partitioning block 240, RVLC block 242, HEC block 244, and RM block 246. Thus, for example, if the retransmission channel is particularly noisy, then a more robust error resilience technique may be employed.
If the error-resilience modifier 500′ determines (at 765) that the current frame is not a P-type, then the EC portion 410 performs (at 780) error concealment on the I-type frame using the EC blocks 445. The ER portion 204 of the error-resilience modifier 500′ performs (at 790) error resilience on the I-type frame based on the re-transmission channel characteristics using, in one embodiment, the ER block 238.
After the error concealment and error resilience techniques are performed, the modified video bitstream may then be re-transmitted and/or stored (at 795), depending on the particular implementation. The modified video bitstream may be re-transmitted, in one embodiment, to another telecommunications device.
In one embodiment, the re-transmission channel characteristics or storage characteristics may be determined before each transmission, and the error resilience techniques may be dynamically adjusted based on such transmission characteristics. Alternatively, the ER portion 204 may be pre-configured to take into account the re-transmission channel or storage characteristics.

Speak Out on Long Beach Development
By Karen Robes
Long Beach's newest city department is looking to reach out to the masses with some new communication features.
Long Beach Development Services has introduced a new hotline and newsletter and is planning to launch its new Web site in August.
The aim to facilitate transparency and involvement in government, said Craig Beck, Redevelopment Agency executive director and director of development services.
"A lot of the things that we try to do is to get people to come to meetings, get people to be engaged to what's going on," he said. "From our perspective, if there's a large development project occurring, we want to make sure that the community knows about it and can provide input."
The new hotline, 562-570-LBDS, allows callers to get information in several languages and talk directly to a staff member.
A new monthly newsletter includes news items and meeting times for entities such as the Planning Commission and the Redevelopment Agency and lists projects and contact information for the person working on those projects.
The department was created in late 2007 when City Manager Pat West merged the agency and the Planning and Building Department as a way to streamline operations and improve customer service.
"He thought there was a bit of a disconnect between the planning and building function and the redevelopment function," Beck said. "They didn't always work entirely on the same page, so what better way to work on the same page than to get them in the same department and have them work side by side every day."
The department will also focus on the Downtown Community Plan, which will look at addressing mobility, building standards and other issues downtown, and the Long Beach 2030 general plan update.
"To me, (the motto), 'Building a Better Long Beach' is a lot of things," Beck said. "It's not just about hammers and nails, but what kind of planning are we doing for our future."

NEW DELHI: On the eve of a large-scale corps exercise in the Rajasthan desert, the Indian army said they would continue to draw on the Pentagon concepts of 'Network Centric Warfare' and 'Shock and Awe', but wouldn't commit the blunders of the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan. Army officers say they wouldn't reduce the number of infantry soldiers on the ground even while substantially stepping up the technological components of the war and target critical enemy targets with powerful bombardments.
The Pentagon concepts that were deployed in both Afghanistan and Iraq included 'Network Centric Warfare' — an intense deployment of technology and real time communication up to the individual soldier level that makes the battlefield highly transparent. 'Shock and Awe' on the other hand refers to a powerful bombing campaign very early in a war, to destroy the enemy's key targets.
However, the Indian army has learnt from the blunders of Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan where there weren't "enough boots on the ground," according to a senior Army officer.
"Technology will remove 'the fog of war' but you need men on the field," said two senior officers involved in Exercise Ashwamedh, to be held in the between April 29 and May 3. It will be the first major exercise of the South West Command, which was raised in April 2005 to guard a substantial portion of the Indo-Pak border in the western region.
1 Corps, a strike corps that would be among the first to move into enemy territory in case of war, will be deploying about 25,000 soldiers, tanks, BMP II vehicles (which can carry seven fully armed soldiers), artillery components etc. But what will make the exercise unique is the way the Army is trying to further progress on network centric warfare. Real time information from unmanned aerial vehicles, satellites, and other communication systems will be integrated into the operations, and made available in real time to field commanders.
An Army officer added that the management of the electro-magnetic spectrum would be another important component, given the fact that several equipment and groups will be using a large amount of electromagnetic waves during the exercise.

Felecita Del Carmen Canas was burned alive in a gas explosion. She left three orphans. Millions and millions of underground pipelines transport gas from public utility companies to our homes, schools and businesses. Most of the time this goes on without incident. But now and then gas does leak causing huge explosions. Gas explosions cause horrific death and injury and destruction of property, like the one that happened in San Bruno, CA. Millions of gas leaks occur every day, but most are too small to result in explosions.
When gas leaks, we expect to smell "rotten eggs." This is the way we are warned when there is a gas leak so we have enough time to escape the area and get help. So why do people continue to die in gas explosions if the odor is there to warn them to leave? Because, under certain circumstances, a leak may occur without any odor. Gas is naturally odorless. Odorant is added by the gas utility to the gas before it goes to your home. When gas leaks from a pipe, it may migrate underground from outside to inside your house. As it migrates through the soil, the odorant may filter out of the gas so by the time it reaches your house it has no smell. This is known as "odor fade". Because of odor fade, Felecita was unable to smell the gas until it was too late. We assert that Centerpoint has known about "odor fade" for years and has a duty to warn its customers about it.
We were just about to go to trial when Centerpoint's lawyers pulled the file tariff doctrine out of their rectums. Centerpoint's lawyers argued that it is not responsible for Felecita's death because the tariff it filed with the state excludes liability for any leaks occurring on the customer's side of the piping except under strict circumstances not present here. Public utilities file rate agreements with the state which approve the rate the utility may charge customers for their gas. Centerpoint alleges the filed tariff regulates every matter between a gas utility and its customers. The original purpose of the filed tariff doctrine was to prohibit rate suits by customers since the rates charged were regulated by the state and it could potentially subject a gas utility to thousand of law suits. Not surprisingly, utilities have included broader and broader liability limitations with each new rate filing.
It is preposterous that a this doctrine could be used to immunize Centerpoint and other billion dollar utility companies from responsibility for killing and maiming its customers and destroying their property.

Published to coincide with the Anchor Books edition of Peel My Love Like an Onion, this Spanish translation is a major addition to the Vintage Español list.
Equal parts soap opera, tragicomedy, and rhapsody, Carmen la coja is Ana Castillo's imaginative variation on the themes of Bizet's Carmen, set in the Latin community of Chicago and the seductive world of flamenco. Carmen "La Coja" Santos is a renowned local dancer who has long maintained an affair with the great Agustín, the married director of her troupe. An angry rivalry is sparked when she begins a passionate new liaison with Agusín's grandson, the gifted Manolo; her childhood polio returns; and her already aggravating relationship with her mother takes a difficult turn. But in the end, Carmen, unlike her namesake, finds her way back to happiness.
About the Author
Ana Castillo is the author of the novels So Far From God, Peel My Love Like an Onion, The Guardians, and Give It to Me. In 2013 she received the Gloria E. Anzaldua Award from the American Studies Association for her essay "The Real and True Meaning of Our Lady of Guadalupe," which appears as the afterword to this book.
Praise For…

"A fiery treatise on losing control in love--. Unforgettable."--Los Angeles Times
"The best of Ana Castillo: sassy, satiric, and stunningly lyrical. Bravo, Ana!"--Julia Alvarez

Today was the big announcement for CountryFest 2012 and I gotta tell ya, Ol' Scottie B is pumped up and psyched about it.
Joe Nichols and wife Heather are expecting a baby this spring and shared the happy news with People.com.
We've come to the end of another week, so it's time once again to head back in time to feature a song you may have forgotten, or may discover for the first time with this weeks edition of Flashback Friday.
Little congratulations are in order for the Country Music Association. They recently passed the one million mark of digital fans, followers and subscribers.
Joe Nichols will celebrates his birthday on Saturday November 26.
Eli Young Band celebrating their first No.1 hit – you know that little tune known as "Crazy Girl?"
Country artists are doing a lot of different things than just singing in today's country music news.
It's been almost two years since Joe Nichols fans were treated to a full-length collection of new songs from the 'Gimmie That Girl' singer, but that'll change soon.
On November 8, Nichols will return with his seventh full-length CD, 'It's All Good.' The 10-song album, Nichols' first for Show Dog/Universal, will include his latest top 30 country hit, 'Take It Off.'
The nominees for the 2011 American Music Awards were announced yesterday. That's of course the award show for all of the year's biggest music stars, including country artists.
I am a big fan of country music. I grew up with it in my house. Johnny Cash, The Statler Brothers, Charlie Pride, Alabama, etc. The list goes on and on. I also grew up a fan of rock music. Being a kid in the 80's I became a fan of the "Hair Bands" like Poison, Motley Crue, Warrant and so on. I still listen to it today and listen to alot of todays big rock bands along with the country tunes.
It's another new tune tuesday and that means more new music hitting the store shelves and online today. A few artists have also released videos to their most recent singles as well.
is one of the best traditional country music singers in the business today. His music covers subjects from love to hope and drinking and just letting your hair down and having fun.

The original GE blocks/wires were color coded to specific burners. The new ones are not color coded since they are sold individually and work with any burner, but they were identical to the originals in every other way. Just remove old blocks one at a time and connect the replacement so that the burner is connected to the proper control. Since the stove age was unknown, I replaced all four blocks to eliminate a repeat of the problem later. The screws holding the blocks and the wiring cover on the stove back require the same small socket wrench; not enough room in some places for an adjustable wrench. It took no more than 20 minutes to replace all four, test the burners, and close up the back wiring panel. The instructional video on the website eliminated my hesitation to tackle this repair. The parts arrived the next day, with no special shipping service requested. WOW. PartSelect will be the first place I go to find what I need for the next fix-it.

There is nothing better than real sea time under sail to gain experience and the skills of a mariner. But sometimes on these hard working ships there is little time to focus on particular advanced skills, such as wire work and sailmaking. And rarely does the opportunity roll around to actually help rig a ship from the keel up or lay a sail out with a professional sailmaker.
Advance your Skills without the Distractions of the Sea
The purpose of the Picton Castle's Bosun School is to provide an opportunity to young dedicated mariners to advance their skills in a concentrated fashion without the natural demands and distractions of being underway at sea. Conducted by Capt. Daniel Moreland, the crew of the Picton Castle and special guest instructors, the Bosun School allows you to significantly advance your skill level, making your chances at the best berths in good ships of your choice all the more likely. Once signed aboard your next ship you will have that much more to offer and will be a greater contributor to helping the ship on her mission – which is, after all, what being crew is all about.
Build Skills, Tools and your Résumé
Sling your sea bag over the rail and join us for the next running of this highly valuable, unique offering. We'll cover advanced rope-work, wire seizings, wire splicing, basic sailmaking, cotton and Dacron sail repair, serving as if you had a whole ship to rig, basic welding, ship and boat caulking and pitching, basic carpentry, first-class varnish work, tar and oil mixtures, proper bosun chair work and more! Dip your arms in Stockholm Tar, learn tons, have fun, flesh out your resume, become well acquainted with the seaport's excellent pubs, and meet marine artisans and crafts-folk with generations of ship work behind them. When you join your next vessel, you'll take with you an enriched set of skills and actual tools you made yourself.
Enrollment is limited
This program is designed for people preparing for a career at sea with previous experience in traditional vessels or who have sailed in ships and vessels of some kind as either a student or crew member.
Upon completion of the course you will receive a certificate of completion from the program, an evaluation and a letter of recommendation from the Bosun School.
Dates and Details
The next session of the Bosun School will be offered from August 12 to September 23, 2015 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. The cost for this session is $3,000 USD, which includes room and board, instruction and all course materials (a reduced fee is available for those who have sailed aboard Picton Castle).
Applications are accepted from mariners of all nationalities. For those requiring a visa to enter Canada, only a temporary resident visa is required.
In order to apply, please send your CV and a letter that tells us more about you, your seagoing experience and your motivation for wanting to become a Bosun School student. For more information on the School, please call us at +1 902 634 9984 or send us an email.
Here's the program outline for the 2015 Bosun School.

Sunspot AR1748
The sun is sending fireworks to perhaps celebrate the debut of the latest "Star Trek Into Darkness" movie, which has been released this week. Sunspot AR1748 has discharged four powerful solar flares in the past few days, is expected to be more active, and is rotating into more direct view across the sun's near side. Flares are also connected with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Of the four CMEs created this week, NOAA space weather forecasters say there's a 40 percent chance that the most recent one could bounce off Earth on May 17.
Solar flares are powerful bursts that send light and radiation into space. CMEs, usually produced in conjunction with solar flares, erupt from the sun and send billions of tonnes of solar material into space. They are not directly dangerous to us, but can disrupt atmospheric communications services such as GPS and cell phones. While personal disruptions can be annoying, GPS airline navigation and extremely accurate clocks that govern financial transactions could be affected.
The current quartet of solar flares has been categorized to reach the highest measuring category, X-class, with the highest of the four given an X-3.2 rating. It is the 18th X-class flare of the current solar season.
The good news is that NASA's observation satellites and NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center are constantly monitoring space activity, and can give warnings, similar to hurricane warnings, when potentially dangerous solar activity is approaching.
Another highlight is the appearance of auroras.
Above is sunspot AR1748.

May 14 flare
2013 is currently at the solar maximum, which is the most active part of the sun's 11-year cycle of solar flare activity.
Solar flares erupt with tremendous heat, but don't worry; it dissipates before reaching Earth. But they can temporarily alter the upper atmosphere and create memorable disruptions. Your GPS could send you to the wrong location.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of the X1.2 class solar flare on May 14.

"Starting in the upper left and going clockwise, the images show light in the 304-, 335-, 193-, and 131-angstrom wavelengths. By looking at the sun in different wavelengths, scientists can view solar material at different temperatures, and thus learn more about what causes flares."

The sun today
Here's a look at the sun today, and the latest solar forecast from the Space Weather Prediction Center:
"Region 1748 was unproductive in the past 24 hours, but the S1 (Minor) Solar Radiation storm persists. Forecasters have re-analyzed yesterday's CME and now predict it to glance by the Earth's magnetic field late on May 17. No change in the magnitude, however, still predicted to be less than storm levels. Things can change quickly, so check here for updates."

Rosa Acosta – Babe of the Day
Boys, say hello to Rosa Acosta. She's a fitness buff, a ballet dancer, a model and she could probably do more crunches than you.
Boys, say hello to Rosa Acosta. She's a fitness buff, a ballet dancer, a model and she could probably do more crunches than you.
The Babe of the Day is Evelyn Lin, one of the prettiest Chinese porn stars we ever laid eyes on. If only we could say that last sentence without the "eyes on" part.
Getting to the gym is hard. Why not look at some pics and vicariously work out through today's Babe of the Day, Nikita Esco?
Today we have Romi Rain, an incredibly hot porn star who takes some of the best damn selfies this side of the internet.
The 26-year-old porn star's famous for her work in front of a different set of cameras, but even her (kinda), SFW stuff on Instagram is enough to get us all hot and bothered
Today's Babe of the Day is the lovely Kagney Linn Karter. We appreciate a bit of alliteration in a name, but not as much as her hot looks.
Vanilla DeVille is one seriously smokin' MILF who takes her spot as our Babe of the Day.
Loni Kai is one seriously sexy model who rocks it as today's Babe of the Day.
What makes Isis Taylor such a hottie? Well, other than the whole porn star thing?
Why is Alexia Cortez a model you should be keeping your eye on? We've got 10 perfectly good reasons why.
Who's a King of the Cage ring girl, a Budweiser model and an all-around drop-dead gorgeous model? Belinda Strange, that's who.
Former adult entertainment actress Tristyn Kennedy is a southern belle bombshell we'd love to get to know better.
Melyssa Grace looks like she's ready to lay down the law. Well, we're totally will to assume the position. Or a bunch of them.

RE: Mary Jane Cato
Hi, Jennifer.
Sorry for the delay, but I was waiting for information on your Cato search from a local man who has researched much of the graveyard.
There's good and bad news.
There are TWO Cato's here!
Sarah Jane Cato & Thomas Cato.
There is no Mary Jane Cato, but we believe Sarah Jane Cato is Mary Jane (names were often transcribed incorrectly back then) as the age and date of burial are the same/very close.
Name: Sarah Jane Cato
Date (of burial): Feb 24, 1854
Age: 13 Years
Officiating: Reverend C. Thompson, Vicar.
Name: Thomas Cato
Date (of burial): March 23, 1869
Age: 14 Days
Officiating: Reverend C. Thompson, Vicar.
Sadly, it appears that both of these children were buried in what is known as the "old churchyard", which unfortunately has many missing headstones, and the grave records are located elsewhere and may not be complete (the church sends its old records to a central depository I believe, in another town) - so the graves cannot currently be located, sorry.
There are a few pictures of the church and churchyard on my flickr pages which i linked in the first message. I will be taking more soon, as it is one of my favourite places.
I do hope the above information is of use.
We could not see if there was a link between the two Cato's, though since Carville is part of Wallsend, it is likely that they could be from the same family - Cato is not a common name here.
Incidentally, I did know a Cato family who live(d) nearby, some 10-15 years ago, though I have since lost touch with them.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do!
Yours, David.
Merry Christmas!

re:Mary Jane Cato
Hi. I live across the street from the Walker Churchyard where Mary Jane Cato is buried. I would be happy to try and locate her grave and photograph it if you still need this done.
Sadly the churchyard is in some disrepair, many graves no longer have headstones, and many more are no longer visible at all. The church itself is beautiful.
I have some photos of the church, and churchyard here:

RE: Paul Morrill
That's Absolutely fine, Jennifer. Please do. I was very disappointed to see the condition of this cemetery. It is extremely small and very old. I don't think there were more than 15-20 graves.I believe this is one the town does not maintain and it appears to me that no one does. The grass was very tall and is was full of weeds.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. Michelle

The National Association of Letter Carriers will conduct their 22nd annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 10.
Letter carriers walk through the community every day, often coming face to face with a sad reality for too many - hunger.
Each year, on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations from their customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries to provide food to people in Cardington who need their help.
To participate in this year's Letter Carrier Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, just leave a non-perishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox Saturday, May 10, and the letter carrier will do the rest.
In 2013, over 74 million pounds of food was collected nationally, feeding an estimated 30 million people. Over the course of its 21 year history, the drive has collected well over one billion pounds of food, thanks to a postal service universal delivery network that spans the entire nation, including Puerto Rico, Guam and U S Virgin Islands.
The need for food donations is great- currently 49 million Americans - one in six are unsure of where their next meal is coming from. Sixteen million are children who feel hunger's impact on their overall health and ability to perform in school.
Nearly five million seniors over the age of 60 are food insecure, with many who live on fixed incomes often too embarrassed to ask for help.
This food drive's timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not avail-able to children in need."
So please, join in America's great day of giving and help the NALC in their fight to end hunger.

Hey guys,
I have a new Summit that came with the newest High Output 2.4 Link radio. I also purchased two additional 5-channel receivers.
My radio worked fine in the Summit. I added a new Rx to my E-Maxx, and bound the Rx to the Tx. It worked fine, and binding takes a split second.
But there is a problem. When I wanted to use my Sunnit, the Tx and Rx were no longer bound to each other. I had to remove the Rx cover (this had me baffled for a while trying to re-bind using only the EVX on/off button!) and get the radio to re-bind on the Summit. Again it took a split second and I was able to drive my Summit. I later went back to my E-Maxx and guess what. Yup, no longer bound to the Tx. So I did the binding routine on the E-Maxx and drove it. Later I tried the Summit and it was no longer bound to the Tx.
It is my understanding from Traxxas marketing that the 2.4G Link Tx can bind to 20 Rx's and recognize each one simply by turning on the model.
What am I doing wrong, that I cannot even get my Tx to recognize two Rx's?

I was wondering if in python there was a simple way to run code if a try statement was successful that wasn't in the try statement itself. Is that what the else or finally commands do (I didn't understand their documentation)? I know I could use code like this:
successful = False
#code that might fail
successful = True
#error handling if code failed
if successful:
#code to run if try was successful that isn't part of try
but I was wondering if there was a shorter way.

Worldwide Locations
Everyone has a 9/11 story — where they were, who they were with, how they felt when they watched the planes hit the Twin Towers. When I look back at that time, I remember the stories that flooded international news: brave firefighters, the resilience of New York and the cunning face of a certain Osama bin Laden. It was a bizarre moment in history; the international community banded together in an unprecedented brotherhood that was based on mutual fear that no one was safe anymore.
On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, AsiaSociety.org experts weigh in on the attacks and their aftermath.
It was 1979. China had established diplomatic relations with the U.S. and allowed the first U.S. bureaus into the People's Republic, to present a more "open" China to the world.
Bangladeshi novelist Tahmima Anam won worldwide acclaim for her 2007 novel A Golden Age, the first volume in a planned "Bengal Trilogy" that follows one family from the period just before Bangladesh's war for independence, in 1971, through the subsequent decades.

Asia Society's co-commissioned production of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, inspired by Haruki Murakami's internationally popular novel, received stellar reviews when it ran at the Edinburgh International Festival late last month.
Director Stephen Earnhart's production combined dazzling elements of live performance, music, puppetry and dance/movement with cinematic video and audio technology to create a hypnotic "theater of dreams."

A 12-year old girl was gang raped by her neighbours on Wednesday evening. The four accused, who saw her coming out of her house for going to the toilet, caught her, tied a handkerchief around her mouth and raped her after taking her to some nearby place.
The accused stay in the nearby colony (Bhaskar colony).
Of the four accused, two, Varun Devendra Upadhyaya, 19, and Mangal Shankar Choudhary, 21, have been arrested by the Kalwa police. Of the two absconding, one is Bhupendra Vishwakarma. The victim, as well as the accused who were caught, were sent for medical test.
The victim had seen the accused coming towards her, but she being innocent hadn't realised the danger. And before she realised what was happening, she was caught and a handkerchief tied around her mouth.
After the deed was done, she was dumped near her house. She had been missing from 8pm to 11pm. The members of her family and relatives who had been searching for her saw someone dropping the victim.
People ran after him and caught him. The victim, who was unconscious, was rushed to the hospital. The doctor asked them to lodge a police complaint.
Senior police inspector RD Malekar of Kalwa police said: The accused have been booked under IPC sections 363 (punishment for kidnapping), 328 (causing hurt by means of poison), 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement.), 354 (assault or criminal force on woman with intent), 376 (rape) and protection of children from sexual offences, 2012.

I had not known previously to this book, that the Sopwith Dolphin had been in such wide service-and flown by AMERICANS who 'made ace' in the machine-prior to the introduction - in August and September 1918, of individual machines attached to various units - of the Sopwith Snipe, which, in its ill-fated Dragonfly-engined Dragon variant, was originally planned as the RAF's standardized fighter. (a point here which the book does not cover, but which I read in Air International: The Dragonfly's problem was that its most dangerous vibrational frequency was exactly that at which it operated, therefore making it useless unless a great deal of R&D was done, and a great deal of money thrown at the problem!) The Snipe did not have a chance to produce more than 2 or 3 aces before war's end 'Major Billy Barker, of E8102 Fame [1 vs. up to 60 Fokker D.VIIIs, there by earning the V.C.] was only credited with 4 enemy aircraft on this mission, actually his ferry mission back to England after a time-expired combat tour which up to that date had been fruitless!! Of course, after he spotted that 2-seater Jerry, the fun began...!'Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
