Luis Suarez is in the headlines, yet again for the wrong reasons. Once again Suarez has proved why he is one of the most hated players in the world. In Uruguay's final group match against Italy, Suarez did something which he has done previously. He bit Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini. The Italian defender appealed to the refree and even showed him the bite mark, but the refree refuced to give a red card to Suarez.

It's not new for football fans to see Suarez biting players. He has repeated this disgraceful act twice previously. While playing for Ajax, Suarez bit a player for the first time. The player was Otman Bakkal, PSV Eindhoven.

Ajax suspended him for two games and fined him an undisclosed amount. This was the first time Suarez did this shameful act. The second time Suarez repeated this act in Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Anfield. Suarez bit Chelsea defender Brainslav Ivanovic. This resulted in a ten-match ban for Suarez. There were claims that Suarez apologized to Ivanovic, but the Chelsea defender rejected the apology.

Suarez got away without getting a red card against Italy and a few minutes after the disgraceful incident, Uruguay's captain Diego Godin scored the goal for Uruguay which eventually turned out to be the winner. Italy are now out of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. However, problems are on their way for Suarez. According to the FIFA rules, Luis Suarez could face upto or two years ban from football, but official news related to the ban are yet to come in.
Frustrated Giorgio Chiellini expressed his anger on the whole incident: "The game was decided by the referee. t's a shame because we deserved it [to go through]. During the first half there had been many situations with different treatments - the expulsion of Marchisio was ridiculous and that, along with the lack of punishment for Suarez, has changed everything. Eventually it proved decisive. Suarez is smart because FIFA allow it because they want to their champions to play. The referee saw everything, but did not have the courage. There are episodes that affect the game. The action is clear, they say that the referees are informed on the players, but obviously they are not." - Goal.com
The Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce said: "I have watched the incident several times on television. There is no doubt Luis Suárez is a fantastic footballer but, once again, his actions have left him open to severe criticism. Fifa must investigate the incident seriously and take whatever disciplinary action deemed necessary." - The Guardian

Playoff races become clearer and cloudier
The Jets control the second wild-card spot in the AFC behind Baltimore or Pittsburgh. New York has become accustomed to being a wild card, using that route to make the last two conference title games. Win out and the Jets fly into the postseason again, but given the way they've performed this season, it's difficult to have confidence they can finish out with a six-game winning streak.
"We'll just do what we can do," cornerback Darrelle Revis said. "It's good to know we can get it done on our own."
More likely, none of the teams chasing wild cards will get it accomplished on its own, and each will be looking for kindness during the holidays. Just look at how the Lions struggled to hold off the wretched Vikings on Sunday.
"I don't know if you call it dodging a bullet," Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "You know, we got to win, so that's one down, we got three left."
Three wins might be too many to ask from them - and assorted other "contenders."
Yet, as we learned in 2010 when Seattle became the first division winner with a losing record, then knocked off defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans in the wild-card round, a mediocre regular season doesn't preclude playoff success. Hey, Arizona was 9-7 in 2008 and nearly won the Super Bowl.
"It doesn't matter how you get there," Revis said. "Just got to get there."

Myxedema Coma Center - San Jose, CA
WebMD Physician Directory
San Jose, California
San Jose was founded on November 29, 1777 as El Pueblo de San Jos? de Guadalupe, the first town in the Spanish colony of Nueva California, which later became Alta California.[5] The city served as a farming community to support Spanish military installations at San Francisco and Monterey. When California gained statehood in 1850, San Jose served as its first capital.[6] After more than 150 years as an agricultural center, San Jose experienced increased demand for housing from soldiers and other veterans returning from World War II, as well as aggressive expansion during the 1950s and 1960s by annexing more land area. By the 1990s, San Jose's location within the booming local technology industry earned the city its nickname Capital of Silicon Valley.

It's just on of those books that I've thought about reading before, just never got around to it.

Gas struts are absolutely fundamental to the workings of your car. Whether you're an expert car enthusiast looking to make improvements to your vehicle, or you're simply needing to replace your old, tired existing vehicle gas struts with new ones, many people will get to a point where they will need to replace their gas struts.
The problem, of course, is that you might not know how to replace your vehicle's gas struts if you're not an expert, and even if you are, it's always helpful to be reminded of the proper procedure. Additionally, it's not the most difficult thing to do in the world, and this means that you shouldn't have too much trouble when it comes to actually carrying it out. In just a few quick, straightforward steps, you'll be able to fit your own gas struts, removing your old ones and replacing them with the correct, new version. So, without further ado, here's our straightforward guide to vehicle gas struts and how to fit them.
What Are Vehicle Gas Struts?
You might not realize it, but gas struts are essential to the proper functioning and working of your vehicle. Whether you're just an ordinary car user who needs to replace the gas struts in your car boot, or you're a real automotive aficionado looking to enhance your vehicle by adding vertical opening doors to your car requiring new gas struts, the fundamental fact is that gas struts are everywhere. With that being the case, it would be useful if you could learn how to fit them.
Fitting Gas Struts
The good news is that realistically, fitting gas struts isn't as difficult as it might sound. There are only a small number of steps to follow and if you follow them correctly, you should have no real trouble removing your old gas struts and replacing them.
1. Removing The Old Struts
The first thing you'll need to do when it gets to the time where you need to replace your gas struts is remove the old ones (assuming you've purchased your new ones, of course; if not, you should do that before progressing). While you're waiting for them to arrive, you can occupy yourself with the process of removing your existing struts. Removing existing struts isn't a necessarily difficult task, though it can be a fiddly process. You'll need to get a screwdriver to lift up the metal clip on the strut, and then you can pull the strut away from the ball stud. Once your new struts have arrived, you can compare them to your old ones to ensure they're going to fit.
2. Fitting the New Ones
Once you've removed your old gas struts and ensured that the new ones are going to fit, you can begin the process of installing your new ones. For the new struts that have plastic ball joints, the good news is that you won't have to learn anything new; you can simply add the new struts in the same way you removed the old ones (though obviously in reverse). Simply lift the metal clip and push the strut onto the stud. As a warning, you should remember to make sure that the metal clip is firmly in place so that the gas strut can't come free. For struts with metal ball joints, you'll need to remove the metal safety clip and then push the cup over the stud on the vehicle. Once the cup is in the socket replace the metal safety clip.
Some vehicles use a pin type fitting rather than the standard band type but they are just as simple to fit:
And there you have it: you should now be in the possession of working vehicle gas struts.

Cosby urges parent-child communication
Comedian Bill Cosby said during an appearance in Cleveland that parents need to better communicate with their children on history and sex risks.
Speaking at the Cleveland Convention Center on Saturday, the former
Cosby Show star said members of the black community must better inform their children of black history, the Cleveland Plain Dealer said.
Our children are trying to tell us something, and we're not listening, Cosby, who is black, said.
We're not taking charge. Our children don't know their own history. "¦ Our children don't know downtown belongs to them as well.
The 71-year-old actor also urged parents to openly speak with their kids on the subject of sexually transmitted diseases, while calling for increased interaction between parents and teachers.
School, it's the way out, he said at the Cleveland Metropolitan School District's Family and Community Empowerment Luncheon.
Those kids who believe in education, we've got to give them strength.

This Month's Tip:
One of the areas that is often overlooked is how to properly handle a tenant move-out, especially the proper handling of a tenant's security deposit.
Assuming the tenant gives you at least 30 days notice, or if you terminate a tenancy with either 30 or 60 days notice, you must provide the tenant with a notice informing the tenant she/he has a right to request a pre move-out inspection. (Civil Code § 1950.5.) If the tenant requests the pre move-out inspection, it must take place no later than two weeks before the last day of the tenancy. In practice, a pre move-out inspection is similar to a pre move-in inspection or a final walkthrough inspection of the unit: the purpose is to note defective conditions and damage beyond normal wear and tear. With the pre move-out inspection, however, you are also required to give the tenant a good faith estimate of what you anticipate the repairs will cost. The California legislature's rationale behind this pre move-out inspection is that it provides the tenant with an opportunity to make some repairs to the unit in order to get more (or all of) their security deposit returned.

Bryant, Frost share lead in soggy Greater Gwinnett
Updated: April 19, 2013, 9:38 PM ETAssociated Press
DULUTH, Ga. -- Bart Bryant isn't worried about adjusting to his new life as a rookie on the Champions Tour.
Bryant's bigger emphasis is his return to golf after two surgeries on his left wrist kept him out of the game for three years.
Playing with a wrap on the wrist, Bryant shot a 4-under 68 on Friday to take a share of the first-round lead in the rain-delayed Greater Gwinnett Championship.
The start of play was delayed four hours by rain. David Frost also was 4 under through ...

Moving VB6 Recordset To .NetFeb 1, 2012
I have an application in VB6 that joins 3 tables together to create 1 record set and I am able to use the move next and move previous methods to navigate through the record set.
I am having trouble creating this same scenario in vb.net with a data set. Do I have to create each table individually and then link them together somehow or can I join them all together in a query before I fill the data set?

Parents shun school religion
By JEWEL TOPSFIELD - THE AGE
Added: Tue, 07 Aug 2012 02:25:09 UTC
Thanks to Mike Sloan for the link
The group representing parents in Victorian state schools has joined teachers in calling for controversial religious instruction classes to be scrapped during school hours.
Parents Victoria yesterday passed a motion at its annual general meeting calling for the religion classes to be moved outside the normal school day. The Education Department forces primary schools to run the classes during school time if an accredited instructor is available.
About 96 per cent of special religious instruction in Victoria is provided by Christian organisation Access Ministries, whose volunteers run the classes in 850 of the state's 1300 government primary schools.
Parents have always been able to opt their children out of the classes but many say they feel upset about being excluded and are bored by the alternative activities provided.
The government is already under pressure to change the contentious policy, with a case still before the courts alleging the classes are discriminatory and segregate children on the basis of religion.
Psychologist Sophie Aitken and two other parents, whose names are suppressed, have asked the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to order that the classes be held outside school hours. Judge Timothy Ginnane is yet to give a ruling on the case.
In information circulated to its members, Parents Victoria said special religious instruction classes may not be compulsory, but required families of minority religions or no religion to withdraw their children from class.

Roberts doesn't 'faithfully' follow oath
Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts had only 35 words to utter but the placement of one word tripped him up Tuesday.
Roberts misplaced the word
faithfully while administering the oath of office to Barack Obama when he was sworn in as the 44th president. And after a split second of hesitation, Obama followed his lead.
The wording is:
I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Instead, the exchange went:
"¦ that I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully "¦
"¦ that I will execute "¦
"¦ faithfully the office of president of the United States "¦
"¦ the office of president of the United States faithfully "¦
Roberts apologized for the muff and congratulated Obama, being the first one to call him
Mr. President.
Of course, it didn't really matter — Obama became the president at noon (Eastern time) — as prescribed by the Constitution — during a musical interlude.

Yellen signals uncertainty about a rate increase
JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (AP) — If anyone thought Janet Yellen might clarify her view of the U.S. job market in her speech here Friday, the Federal Reserve chair had a message:
The picture is still hazy.
Though the unemployment rate has steadily dropped, Yellen suggested that other gauges of the job market have become harder to assess and may reflect persistent weakness. These include many people jobless for more than six months, millions working part time who want full-time jobs and weak pay growth.
Yellen offered no clarity on the timing of the first interest rate increase, which most economists still expect by mid-2015.
Investors had been anticipating any firmer sign from Yellen about whether an improving economy might prompt the Fed to act sooner than expected to start raising rates. She instead offered further uncertainty. Damage inflicted by the Great Recession had complicated the Fed's ability to assess the U.S. job market and made it harder to determine when to adjust rates, Yellen said.
"Uncertainty is the key word," said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Economics. "Yellen is not about to leap from the fence at the next (Fed) meeting."
Yellen said that for now, a broad assessment of the job market suggests that the economy still needs Fed support in the form of ultra-low rates and that inflation has yet to become a concern.
"The assessment of labor market slack is rarely simple and has been especially challenging recently," Yellen said at the conference, which the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City sponsors each year at a lodge beside the majestic Grand Tetons.
Yellen invoked language the Fed has used that record-low short-term rates will likely remain appropriate for a "considerable time" after the Fed stops buying bonds to keep long-term rates down. The bond buying is set to end this fall.
Yellen stressed that the Fed's rate decisions will be dictated by the economy's performance. Repeating language from an appearance before Congress in July, Yellen said that if the economy improved faster than expected or if inflation heated up, rates could rise sooner. But she also said that if the economy under-performed, the Fed could delay its first rate hike.
"Monetary policy is not on a preset course," she said.
In a separate speech, Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank, said the ECB was prepared to do more to boost the shaky recovery in the 18 nations that use the euro. But he said governments must coordinate efforts to reduce persistently high unemployment.
The ECB has cut rates and offered cheap loans to banks and is considering asset purchases to pump more money into Europe's economy. Draghi told the Jackson Hole conference that "we stand ready to adjust our policy stance further" if needed. But he offered no guidance on when such help might come.
In her keynote address, Yellen suggested that pay gains for U.S. workers, which have been sluggish since the recession ended five years ago, could rise faster without necessarily igniting inflation.

This invention relates to the field of compressed digital video
As compressed video bitstreams increasingly find their way into the programme chain, techniques for their manipulation are required. One of the most important techniques is the ability to switch between two compressed signals. This is typically required for editing of programmes; this involves switching between different "shots", each of which will be a section from a bitstream. This may be done in real-time or non-real-time. Switching is also required in continuity/presentation, involving real-time switching between different studios-or other sources, and for local/regional "opt-out", that is to say switching from a network signal to regional or local programmes or commercials.
Switching of analogue video signals, or of non-compressed digital signals, is relatively straightforward to carry out, as suitable times for switching (called "switching points" here) occur at regular intervals, typically during picture blanking. This is not the case with compressed signals, in which pictures often occupy a variable amount of time and/or bits. Furthermore the compression system may employ temporal prediction, which further complicates switching.
A simple way to switch bitstreams is to decode them, switch in the uncompressed domain, and re-code. This gives good flexibility, but the cascading of coding operations causes loss of picture quality. This can be a serious problem for some types of compression system, where there are many parameters and coding decisions that could be taken differently on re-coding. MPEG-2, currently the most important compression system for broadcasting, is such a system. This invention is intended primarily for MPEG-2 but can be used for other compression systems
One prior approach to switching without loss of quality is what is known as "transport stream splicing". This involves defining points (called "splicing points") in the input bitstreams (in MPEG transport stream form) at which they can be switched directly. Two variations have been proposed: "seamless splicing" and "non-seamless splicing".
Splicing is potentially inexpensive to implement, as there is no need to decode or re-code the video. However it lacks flexibility for several reasons.
The switch can only occur at certain times, determined by the MPEG Group of Pictures (GOP) structure. The frame before the switch must be an I- or P-frame and the frame after it must be an I-frame. This typically means that the switch can only be specified to about half a second of resolution.
The video switching point determines when any corresponding audio is switched, because the video and audio are part of a single transport stream. It is not possible to have independent video and audio switching points.
The upstream coders must know when switching may be required; if they do not, they might have to insert a large number of splicing points.
A coder producing a bitstream with seamless splicing points may have to compromise its coding performance to insert these points. This is because the buffer trajectory of a downstream coder must be exactly fixed at the splicing points, making the rate control requirements of the coder more difficult, especially if there are a large number of splicing points. A proposal has been made to get round this problem by inserting synthetic fade-in sequences around the switching points, but this restricts the usefulness of splicing.
Transitions other than simple cuts (ie cross-fades) are not possible.
Another approach is to switch and re-code the decoded inputs but not make use of the full set of coding options available, for example, within the MPEG-2 "toolset". By reducing the number of decisions and parameters that can change on re-coding, the amount of additional distortion introduced is reduced. One prior proposal makes use of this idea, by employing a relatively simple GOP structure of IBIBIBIB (c.f. IBBPBBPBBPBBIBBP . . . which is typically used). The drawbacks of this approach are that restricting the coding options tends to require a higher bitrate for the same picture quality, and that it introduces incompatibilities with other coding equipment using the full range of options.
An earlier BBC patent application, WO 97/08898 described a bitstream switch using a decode-switch-re-code approach, but in this case, the decoder produced an additional output, giving the coding decisions used by the original coder. By using the same decisions on recoding, the additional degradation introduced would be small. This switch also included bypass paths, used many frames away from the switching point, which ensure that the switch can be made completely transparent, but the use of these complicates the operation of the switch.
It is an object of the present invention to provide improved methods and apparatus for the switching of compressed video bitstreams.
Accordingly, the present invention consists in one aspect in apparatus for the switching of compressed video bitstreams comprising a first decoder for receiving a first input bitstream and providing a first decoded video signal and a first coding decision signal; a second decoder for receiving a second input bitstream and providing a second decoded video signal and a second coding decision signal; a video switch for switching between said first and second video signals; a coder for re-coding said switched video signal and coding decision processing means for receiving said first and second coding decision signals and delivering coding decisions to said coder, such that in the steady state said decoding and re-coding is substantially transparent.
It has been shown that for re-coding using the same coding decisions, the additional distortion introduced is negligible under normal circumstances. Thus the decoder and re-coder can be kept "in-circuit" at all times, simplifying the switch.
The coding decision information may include: picture dimensions; frame rate; picture structure (frame-coded or field-coded); picture type (I,P or B); whether macroblocks are intra-coded or use prediction; whether forward, backward or bi-directional prediction is used; motion vectors; quantiser visibility weighting matrices; quantiser step and buffer state of a downstream decoder.
Advantageously, said coding decision processing means serves around the switching point to modify coding decisions for re-coding. In particular, the refresh strategy may be modified on recoding, by moving the recoding I-frames as P-frames, and/or vice versa, or by use of a "I-P pair" of MPEG field structure pictures. The purpose of this is to prevent the downstream decoder's buffer from becoming too full or empty, due to I-frames coming too far apart or too close together in the switched bitstream.
Advantageously, underflow of a downstream decoder buffer is avoided through reduction of bitrate for frames adjacent the switching point. A psycho-visual effect known as "temporal masking" can be employed to prevent the downstream decoder's buffer from becoming too empty. Quantisation noise in the frames very close to the switching point is often not visible to the observer and so the number of bits used in these frames can be deliberately reduced.
Preferably, said coding decision processing means receives buffer occupancy information such that the bit usage in the input bitstreams is taken into account in the re-coder's rate control algorithm.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a switch according to the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of apparatus for preconditioning a bitstream for a splice.
FIG. 1 shows in block diagram form, apparatus for switching between two MPEG-2 video bitstreams, denoted in the figure as bitstream A and bitstream B. Two MPEG decoders 10 and 12 are provided. The two decoders each produce two outputs: a decoded video signal, and a coding decision signal. The coding decision signal contains all the relevant information about how the corresponding bitstream was coded that can be deduced from the bitstream. This information includes, but is not limited to, the following: picture dimensions; frame rate; picture structure (frame-coded or field-coded); picture type (I,P or B); whether macroblocks are intra-coded or use prediction; whether forward, backward or bi-directional prediction is used; motion vectors; quantiser visibility weighting matrices; quantiser step and buffer state of a downstream decoder.
The two decoded video signals are switched in video switch 14 as if they were conventional uncompressed signals and the output of the video switch is sent to a coder 16. This is a special sort of MPEG-2 coder that can make use of a coding decision signal as disclosed for example in EP0765576 or WO98/03017. This coder will reuse some or all of the decisions taken by the coder or coders that created the input bitstreams, as follows.
Block 18 serves to provide coding decisions to the coder 16. For frames far away from the switching point, all of the coding decisions are reused and block 18 merely serves to pass the coding decisions associated with decoding of bitstream A or bitstream B, as appropriate. Doing this causes the re-coding process to be near-transparent, i.e. the picture obtained by decoding the output bitstream is virtually indistinguishable from that which would be obtained by decoding the corresponding input bitstream
For frames near the switch point, block 18 modifies coding decisions and the MPEG picture type may be changed on re-coding. The main purpose of this is to modify the refresh strategy to be more suitable for the switched bitstream. Typically an intra coded picture (I-picture) is used soon after the switch point, to prevent prediction from occurring "across the cut". More ingeniously, I-pictures in the input bitstreams may be "converted" to non-intra pictures (typically P-pictures), in order to prevent too many I-pictures coming in close succession, which could cause the short-term bit rate to be too high and underflow the buffer of a downstream decoder. Under some circumstances (for instance when there is a large amount of motion in the scene), an intra coded frame may be converted into an intra coded field followed by a forward coded field (to do this the MPEG-2 picture structure is converted from frame to field). This is an alternative method of reducing the short-term bitrate.
The example set out below shows a case where one picture in bitstream A, and two in bitstream B have had their picture type modified on re-coding. These pictures are shown in a bold typeface (for clarity, the pictures are shown in the order in which they are displayed at the decoder output, not the order in which they appear in the bitstream):
The prediction mode and motion vectors are modified as necessary to take into account any change in picture type, and to prevent predictions from being made "across the cut". Often this involves a simplification; in the above example, the B-picture following the switch point would usually contain bi-directionally predicted macroblocks in input bitstream B, these are modified to be forward predicted, and the backward vectors discarded. However, where an I-picture is converted to a P-picture, new vectors will need to be estimated, unless MPEG-2 concealment vectors were available in the input bitstream.
The quantiser parameters are modified in order to control the number of bits produced on re-coding. This is typically done by the rate controller in any MPEG-2 coder, which monitors the buffer state of a downstream decoder (actually it monitors the state of its own output buffer, which mirrors that of the decoder buffer).
The rate controller for this invention differs from a conventional one in that the bit usage of the input bitstreams is conveyed via the coding decisions, and is used to set targets for the number of bits to be produced on re-coding. These targets are then used to determine the quantiser parameters. Also, over a number of frames following the switch point, the rate controller attempts to bring the buffer state of a downstream decoder to match what it would have been if bitstream B had been sent directly to the decoder. Typically the number of bits required is set to be slightly lower than the input bitstream. When the decoder buffer state matches, the rate controller enters a "locked" mode in which the quantiser parameters (as well as all other coding decisions) are kept exactly the same as in the input bitstream. After this point, the switch is virtually transparent. Due to an effect called "temporal masking", the level of noise in the pictures immediately before and after the switch point can often be allowed to be higher than at other times. The eye is distracted by the change in picture material and fails to notice the additional noise. Thus the number of bits used in these pictures may deliberately be made quite small, if this helps in making the buffer state match as above.
Although this specific description has focused on the switching of MPEG-2 bitstreams, many of the techniques are applicable for use with other types of DCT-based compressed video bitstreams, such as JPEG, ETSI and MPEG-1, or even non-DCT-based bitstreams, such as in wavelet or fractal-based systems.
The invention can easily be modified to cope with the case when switching between compressed and non-compressed inputs; here the coder makes use of the coding decisions in the compressed input, but makes its own decisions when the non-compressed input is selected.
The switch can be extended to incorporate a reduction in bitrate, in other words, the rate of the output bitstream is lower than one or both of the input bitstreams. For example, a lower bitrate may be used for transmission to the viewer than is used for distribution from the studio to the transmitter. In such cases, the switch is not intended to be transparent, and there is no need to attempt to match the downstream decoder's buffer state as above.
In addition to performing simple switches, other video transitions may be required. The most important of these is the cross-fade. MPEG coding of cross-fading sequences tends to give poor quality pictures; this is due to the difficulty in estimating motion vectors and poor performance of forward prediction. This invention can be extended to perform cross-fades.
For this purpose, the described video switch takes the form of a video cross-fading device. It will be recognised that during the fade, decisions from both input bitstreams are available for use in re-coding.
In one coding strategy, the decisions from bitstream A are used for the first part of the fade, and for the last part, the decisions from bitstream B are used. In an alternative strategy, the potential coding quality is assessed separately using each set of decisions, and the better set chosen.
Temporal masking is not appropriate, as there is no sudden change from one sequence to the other. However, the mixing of the sequences tends to decrease visibility of quantisation noise, and the rate controller of the coder can exploit this fact.
Some techniques of this invention can be used to precondition a transport stream as part of a splicing device.
Referring now to FIG. 2, this shows splicing from transport stream A to transport stream B. Transport stream A is demultiplexed in transport stream demultiplexer 20 to elementary bitstreams (for clarity, only the video bitstream is shown). The video bitstream is decoded to video in the decoder with coding decisions also being output. The video signal passes directly to a video coder 24 which also receives the coding decisions after they have passed through a "modify coding decisions" block 26. When many frames from a splice, the video is re-coded with the same decisions and remultiplexed in transport stream multiplexer 28; this will be transparent under normal conditions. Near the time of splicing in transport stream splicer 30, the number of bits produced will be adjusted to meet the buffer constraints for splicing, by modifying the coding decisions in block 6, typically by adjusting the quantiser parameters.
In addition to the above, the inputs must be synchronised to ensure that splicing occurs on the correct picture type, and modifications are required to the time stamps and clock reference information in the transport stream. These aspects are not shown in the above diagram.
Another possible embodiment of the present invention is a non-real-time edit conforming switch based in software. To speed up the operation of this, some modifications may be made to the essentially hardware approach described thus far. Bitstreams may be directly copied when the switch is effectively transparent. Only a partial decode—as far as the DCT domain—may be performed under some circumstances, provided that the picture type is not changed. This may lead to a small loss but acceptable loss in quality.
It should be understood that this invention has been described by way of examples only and that a wide variety of modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.

Russian meteor blast comes under scrutiny on Discovery Science special
More News from INQUIRER.net
Discovery Science has announced an exclusive and unprecedented look at the recent Russian meteor explosion with FIRE IN THE SKY: A DAILY PLANET SPECIAL. The special premiered Saturday, March 9 at 9:30 p.m. on Discovery Science with encores Sunday, March 10 at 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 13 at 9:30 p.m., Thursday, March 14 at 5:30 p.m. and Friday, March 15 at 11:30 a.m.
On the morning of February 15th, a meteor weighing nearly 11 tons burst into the atmosphere over the Russian mountain city of Chelyabinsk, 900 miles from the center of Moscow, with the power equal to that of an atomic bomb, at a speed of almost 34,000 miles per hour.
The intense flash of light and intensity was recorded by bystanders in nations hundreds of miles away, creating sonic blasts and tremendous shock waves and leaving smashed windows, collapsed roofs and injured nearly 1000 people in the aftermath. Following closely in its wake, a 13-story-size asteroid will pass within 17,100 miles of Earth this weekend before heading off into space.
Are the two events related? What marvels will come next? How can we prepare? Join scientists, physicists, astronomers and experts from around the globe as they explore this major phenomenon and what may be on the horizon for our planet's future.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took what appeared to be a coded swipe at Republican refusals to consider raising taxes in U.S. debt limit talks, saying on Tuesday that all leaders must make hard decisions to put their countries on the right track.

Stop the presses!

The opinions expressed are his own.
There is a well-established template for a politician who has ascended to the pinnacle of national politics, tumbled off of it, and wants to return to run for president. You get out of Washington. You occupy yourself in private or charitable endeavors, maybe write anodyne books and studiously avoid making controversial proclamations that might come back to haunt you.

Outside of that not so much. Depending on your temperament; sometimes never.
Morandi did it all with a few dusty bottles, Donato does it with a mountain of photographs. Both are artists.

There is actually quite an art in finding just what you're looking for on Google images.
Sometimes you can have quite a long dialogue with the dialogue box, like "man in a suit swinging a hammer." Sometimes you do better abbreviating that to "swinging a hammer." But if you reduce that to "swinging" you're going to get porn.
I have learned, for example, that a search on "toe" is going to give me nightmare shots of foot injuries. Plus, I picked up a computer virus on one of those images. I surely wish I could unsee some of the things I've turned up. Oof!
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).

I've found that I rather dislike Google image search, mainly because I'm 1) not always that great at figuring out the best search terms to use, and 2) a lot of the images it throws out tend to be duplicates and not always of the best quality. It's self-repeating in a way. Person searches for image, nabs the first thing that appears for their blog, so the image becomes more common place, and then the next person does the same thing, and before you know it, you just end up getting variations of the same picture on different sites. It can be handy for specific stuff, I suppose.
My new favourite source for general non-specific reference is magazines. If you can find somewhere that carries all the speciality interest magazines, it's great. There's magazines for everything. Cars, planes, motorbikes, boats, animals, gardening, travel, electronics, fashion, you name it. They're normally not much more expensive than the costs of all that printer ink if you were printing this stuff from the internet, and the photos are normally good quality and clear. If you pick two up a month or something, ones with lots of photos in, and it wouldn't be too long before you'd have a nice little stash of stuff you could look at.
Not much good, of course, if you need a specific item, place, animal or whatever, but I find it helpful just to study the colours and lighting of materials I'd never normally get the chance to see first hand.

so true... i'm only using google search if i can't get what i want any other way because i got sick of all that disgusting stuff....even when you are looking for something totally harmless.
i don't understand why so many people are uploading super disgusting stuff and why videos get so much clicks where people are attacked, injured (sometimes really bad injuries) or even die.
April 2nd, 2012 #37
I find that Google Images works best as a starting point... I usually either augment it with regular Google searches to find what I need, or click the most promising images (if they don't have suspicious URLs,) and, if the images lead to sites with related material, I'll most likely find what I need by surfing around from there. Or at the very least I'll find info I can use to refine my search.
The "Find Similar Images" option is pretty good, though... For example I just did a quickie search for "office chair", and I had a specific type of chair in mind but didn't know the name of that chair style. Out of the first page of results, there was maybe one chair close to the right style, so I clicked "Find Similar Images" on that chair, and voila, pages and pages of exactly the chair style I was looking for.
(But if you think searching for images is tricky, try finding information on obscure Flash quirks. That takes some seriously creative searching.)

Re: Mass Effect 2
There seems to be 2-4 scannable planets per system and maybe 2-5 systems per galaxy, and about 15 galaxies. It still beats the hell out of having to roam around in your Mako and losing all your progress because a sand worm happened to spawn under your car. So far as I can tell there aren't set locations for the ore deposits, just an amount you can mine. So if you just look for the big ones you can save on probes or trips back to the fuel depot.

J.I. Halsell has the last part of his ESPN series covering the biggest cap drain on each team, this time with the AFC West (linked above) and NFC West (linked here).
3 comments, Last at 01 Aug 2009, 7:40am by Michael Schuttke
Article may have come out a little too early for the Chargers, since I assume that Wilhelm now has the largest cap number of any player still with the team.
*not still with the team.
What I am impressed by is how the Chargers have the highest cap figure for a player no longer on their team being less that $500,000. If there were any doubts about their phenominal ability to manage the salary cap, they are now gone. I question if anyone (possible the Eagles) can compare with San Diego in properly utilizing the rollover rule with cap space as well as the Likely To Be Earned and Not Likely To Be Earned incentive rules.
The Falcons are still trying to replace Tony Gonzalez, the Panthers must find a way to protect Cam Newton, the Bucs (as always) could use more pass rushers, and the Saints need anyone who can catch a football.

Most antivirus programs identify runouce.exe as malware—e.g. Microsoft identifies it as Virus:Win32/Chir.B@mm, and TrendMicro identifies it as PE_Chir.B-O.
The free file information forum can help you find out how to remove it. If you have additional information about this file, please leave a comment or a suggestion for other users.
Little is known about the process, since there is no reference to the producer within the file.
Description: Runouce.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. Runouce.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 10,748 bytes (60% of all occurrences), 22,012 bytes and 8 more variants.
There is no description of the program. The software starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). Runouce.exe is not a Windows system file. The program is not visible. It is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. Runouce.exe is able to hide itself and manipulate other programs. Therefore the technical security rating is 73% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify runouce.exe related errors
Important: You should check the runouce.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of runouce.exe: based on 23 votes with 24 user comments. 2 users think runouce.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. One user thinks it's probably harmless. 3 users suspect danger. 17 users think runouce.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 3 users don't grade runouce.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with runouce. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the runouce.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.
