Nick Smith in ConcertSaturday, July 25th, 2015
Tickets on sale now!
Hailing from small town Kent's Store, VA, Nick Smith quickly learned the values of hard work and independence at a young age. He always loved to sing as a boy and showed it by fulfilling the varsity choir throughout his high school career. After graduating from Fluvanna High, Nick immediately pursued a business degree while at the same time picked up a guitar to compliment his vocal's with the goal of becoming a full time entertainer one day. As persistency took it's roll, Nicks career in music moved forward just enough to endure putting together his first album EP in 2012 that did very well among new country critics. From there on Nick's songwriting and music production has since then led him to write the next piece of the puzzle which is the latest album called "Just A Preview" released June 3, 2014. Nick lives with the notion that hard work, persistence, and trials can achieve just about anything.
Craig Wayne Boyd in ConcertSaturday, November 14th, 2015
Texas-born and raised country singer and multi-instrumentalist Craig Wayne Boyd, came to the public's attention when he was a contestant, and the eventual winner, on the seventh season of the television show The Voice in 2014. In the early 2000s he moved to Nashville to try for his dream of a career in the music business and soon had a publishing deal with EMI. Things looked promising. Yet Boyd, after ten years of songwriting, local gigs, national support touring, and trying everything he could to further that dream in Nashville, was on the verge of quitting music. All that changed when he auditioned for the seventh season of The Voice. Ending up on Blake Shelton's team, Boyd's singing voice, playing, and easy musical versatility made him a fan favorite, and eventually made him the overall winner. His debut album, produced by Arlis Albritton, was released in 2014. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

Screening for Breast Cancer
The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.When to get screened for breast cancer can be confusing because there are several organizations that recommend different screening schedules. Below are 2009 recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the American Cancer Society (ACS), and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
Screening TestsBreast Self-examWhen doing a breast self-exam (BSE), you feel for anything new or different. You will be able to feel a particularly lumpy portion of the breast. Sometimes cysts appear and disappear. Masses that come and go are generally not cancerous. Other than new lumps, look for nipple discharge (either clear or bloody), dimpling of the skin, thickening of the skin, redness of the skin, pain, new lumps, or a fullness feeling in the armpit.There is a lack of evidence that breast self-exams can reduce your risk of death from breast cancer. The USPSTF does not recommend this self-screening, and the ACS views the exam as optional for women aged 20 and older. ACOG suggests that it is considered in high-risk women. If you are unsure as to whether you should do a breast self-exam, talk to your doctor. To learn how to do the exam, click here . Clinical Breast ExamDuring your routine physical exam, your doctor may do a clinical breast exam (CBE). Your doctor will carefully feel your breasts and under your arms to check for lumps or other unusual changes. Both the ACS and ACOG recommend that women 20 to 39 years old have the exam every three years, and every year for women aged 40 and older.USPSTF has no recommendations for this exam.Mammogram A mammogram is a special x-ray of the breast that may be able to find tumors that are too small for you or your doctor to feel. Your doctor may suggest that you have a mammogram, especially if you have risk factors for breast cancer. Guidelines for getting a mammogram vary depending on the organization:
- 40 to 49 years old—the decision to have a mammogram every two years is an individual one. You should make your decision after you understand the risk and benefits that apply to you. Talk to your doctor.
- 50 to 74 years old—every two years
- ACS and ACOG
- 40 years and older—every year
- Are at high risk for breast cancer and cannot have an MRI scan
- Have dense breast tissue
Talk to Your DoctorTalk to your doctor about the right screening schedule for you. For example, if you are at high risk for breast cancer, you will need to start having mammograms at an earlier age.

Humpty Dumpty Comes to Life!Street Art // Friday, April 12, 2013
Most of you should be familiar with the classic fairy tale story of the anthropomorphic egg Humpty Dumpty, his inevitable fall and the attempt by some knights to piece him back together. In part of the Uk's biggest Easter egg hunt, the friendly-looking Humpty Dumpty was brought to life as a 4-foot chocolate hanging out on a wall at the Covent Garden in Central London. True to folklore, Mr. Humpty went down off the wall, smashing to pieces and cannot be put back together.

Headshots HawaiiRead MoreIn 1988, Natalie Brown-Aiwohi began working as a makeup artist at Headshots Hawaii. A month later, she was promoted to manager. In 2010, after 22 years as manager, Brown-Aiwohi purchased the studio herself and built a new location to house it at the Aiea Town Square. Immediately, she transformed a franchise that had been known for its 1980s-style glitz into a full-service photography studio that captures images of clients just as they are. "After all the glitz and glam, people wanted to look like themselves—they wanted more of a natural look," Brown-Aiwohi told Pacific Business News in 2010, shortly after the move. Today, Headshots Hawaii is the only remaining Headshots franchise of dozens that had opened in the 1980s and 1990s, and Brown-Aiwohi's dream is still going strong. As a partner of the Miss Hawaii Pageant, Headshots Hawaii snaps photos of reigning Miss Hawaiis, drawing on Brown-Aiwohi's experience as a former pageant queen and model. Photographers also shoot images for weddings, businesses, aspiring models, and airtight alibis, tailoring the style to suit the client.

[0001] The present invention relates to the designs and structures of wireless remote control lighting systems that sa compatible with standard 4-wire dimming electronic ballasts. The proposed system is simple, addressable and is capable of low-cost application.
[0002] Commercially available dimming electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps ate 4-wire system as shown in FIG. 1. In addition to the two AC wire for "live (L)" and "neutral (N)", two DC wires (DC1 and DC2) are provided for providing the dimming signal of a DC voltage (Vdim) typically between 1V to 10V. Usually a wall-mounted dimmer circuit is required (so that it can easily be operated by a person in the room) and this requirement means that long DC wires have to be installed between the wall-mounted dimmer unit and all the dimming electronic ballasts. This need for re-wiring of the building because of the extra DC wires and the provision of she dimming control circuit increases the cost and complexity of such an installation, especially if dimming control is to bc "rtrofittcd" to existing fluorescent lamps. This is a major factor that hinders the wide spread applications of dimming electronic ballast. In order to overcome these problems, various attempts using wireless control have been made.
[0003] In U.S. Pat. No. 6,252,358 Xydis and Angott propose a wireless lighting control syst=using non-dimming electronic ballasts. Their system consists of a remote control unit, a receiver unit and a light control unit. The control unit has a single button for producing a single signal. The light control unit has many ON/OFF outputs, and each of them is hard-wired to the ON/OFF control of the respective non-dimming electronic ballast. The light controller is responsive to the remote control for sequentially and in numerical order changing the supply of electrical power source to the lighting devices. This system does not control the light intensity of all of the lighting devices uniformly.
[0004] In U.S. Pat. No. 5,506,715 Zhu describes an infra-red remote system for dimming fluorescent lamp tubes. However, all infra-red systems have the limitation that infra-red systems are directional and are of high cost because of the need for light filtration. Due to the fact that the infrared transmitter must point directly and without obstacles at the infra-red receiver, it is not suitable for situation when lighting control electronics must bc hidden, for example behind a ceiling or decoration.
[0005] In U.S. Pat. No. 6,340,864 Wacyk proposes a rather complex and sophisticated wireless remote sensing system for lighting control. In this system, CMOS pixel array imaging technology is Incorporated Into an opto-sensing system for automatically adjusting the lighting intensity in a certain environment. The said sensor collects analog data in each pixel of the array, which is converted into digital data by a A/D converter and then processed by a digital signal processor (DSP) to extract information such as objects in motion and light levels from various sources so as to provide appropriate Control signal to the lighting system. Due to the complexity of the system and the large amount of data involved, these data have to be compressed for transmission. Typical data transmission rate is in the order of 10 Kilo bits/second. Thus, fast and expensive DSP is needed in the transmitter for such implementation. For the same reason, data decompression is needed in the expensive DSP used in the receiving end. As an auto-sensing system, Wacyk's invention is for a system that maintains constant lighting intensity in the illuminated environment.
[0006] Hakkarainen et al in U.S. Pat. No. 5,637,964 propose another sophisticated infra-red remote control lighting system for specially designed '3-wire' electronic ballasts ether than a standard wire electronic ballasts. The ballast control unit consists of a power supply, an IR signal receiver, an EEPROM, a microprocessor and semiconductor dimmer circuit (such as a triac dimmer)
[0007] According to the present invention there is provided a wireless radio-frequency remote control system for a dimmable electronic ballast operated fluorescent lamp, said control system comprising a transmitter module and a receiver module, wherein transmitter module comprises means for transmitting address data identifying a receiver module and lamp dimming data, and said receiver module is provided with mean for receiving transmitted data from said transmitter module, means for comparing received address data with a unique identification address stored in said receiver module, and means for generating in response to said lamp dimming data a DC dimming signal to be input to said ballast
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, in addition to dimming data, the transmitter module comprises means for transmitting a power on/off signal to said receiver module, and said receiver module is provided with means for switching on/off the power to said ballast. For example, this switching means may comprise a relay provided in the AC power line to said ballast.
[0009] Preferably, if the system is provided with such on/off control, than the receiver module may comprises means for initiating a warm-start ignition process when said receiver module receives a signal to switch a lamp on. In this embodiment upon receiving a signal to switch a lamp on, the receiver module preferably first generates a low dimming voltage that is insufficient to turn the lamp on but which will warm up the lamp filaments, and then subsequently generates an ignition voltage sufficient to turn the lamp on. After generating the ignition voltage the voltage generated by the receiver module may then gradually move to a desired dimming voltage.
[0010] A receiver module may provide remote control of a Ale ballast and lamp, or alternatively may provides the DC ding signal to a plurality of ballasts such that a number of lamps may be controlled together as a group.
[0011] Another possibility is that a plurality of receiver modules may be provided, each with a unique identification address, and a single transmitter module may provide dimming data to an individual receiver module by setting the appropriate identification address as the address data.
[0012] Preferably, in order to take into account the fiat that a person's pupils will dilate as a lamp is dimmed, the receiver module implements a square-law mapping to convert received dimming data to the DC dimming signal.
[0013] The transmitter module comprises a battery-powered remote control unit, and wherein said remote control unit goes into a sleep mode when not in use, and preferably comprises means for inputting dimming commands, means for centering an identification address, microprocessor means for generating a datastream to be transmitted comprising the identification address and the dimming data, and means for transmitting the datastream. The transmitter module may further comprises means for entering an ONOFF command, and may include memory means for storing a current dimming status of a lamp.
[0014] Some embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:—
[0015]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional 4-wire dimmable electronic ballast fluorescent lamp system,
[0016] FIGS. 2(a) and (b) are schematic diagrams of first and second embodiments of wireless remote control systems according to the present invention,
[0017] FIGS. 3(a) and (b) illustrate exemplary data structures and transmission formats for use in embodiments of the present invention,
[0018] FIGS. 4(a) and (b) are schematic diagrams of receiver modules according to embodiments of the invention,
[0019]FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a wireless remote-control transmitter according to an embodiment of the invention,
[0020]FIG. 6 illustrates a typical dimming control signal in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention and providing a warm-start ignition process, and
[0021]FIG. 7 is a plot showing the square-law mapping between actual dimming voltage and digitized dimming value used to compensate for pupil dilation.
[0022] In the present invention, a low-cost radio frequency (RF) wireless dimming control system is provided that is compatible with standard 4-wire electronic dimmable ballasts. The proposed system is low-cost, simple and addressable. The proposed system can be used for single or multiple electronic ballasts systems.
[0023] First and second embodiments or the invention are shown In FIG. 2a (which provides both ON/OFF control plus dimming control) and FIG. 2b (which provides dimming control only). These embodiments of the invention comprise a transmitter control module and a receiver module, The transmitter module can bc a hand-held remote control unit as shown in FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b or a computer-connected transmission board. Each of the transmitter and receiver modules has an N-bit address set for its identification. Therefore, there could be 2N different addresses in this system. The addresses of the receiver and transmitter modules in each zone should be identical. If the remote control lighting systems are installed in different zones, the address of the transmitter and receiver modules in each zone should be set at a value that is different from the address values of its neighboring zones in order to avoid interference.
[0024] The function of the transmitter module is to transmit (i) an N-bit address to alert the receiver module with the same address and then (ii) an M-bit digital data representing the dimming level. A maximum of 2M dimming levels are thus available. Information required for the transmission is shown in FIG. 3a. A typical example of the data format is shown in FIG. 3b and it will be noted that the data format is very simple, and therefore very low-cost microprocessors can be used in the transmitter module and receiver module. The transmission rate can be very low, typically 0.6 Kilo bits per second (i.e. two orders of magnitude loss than that of Wacyk's proposal). Thus, low-cost RF transmitter and receiver circuits can be used.
[0025] The receiver module can take two forms as shown in FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b. The schematic of receiver module 1 in FIG. 2a is shown In FIG. 4a. It consists of an electrically isolated AC-DC power supply, RF receiver circuit (Rx) including an antenna, a microprocessor (μP), a N-bit switch (such as a DIP switch) representing the identification address, and an optional buffered D/A converter circuit that provides the DC dimming signal Vdim (within 1V to 10V) for lines DC1 and DC2 of the standard dimming electronic ballasts. In the first form of the receiver module, the receiver module also has a relay as an electronically controlled mechanical switch for the AC power to the electronic ballasts (FIG. 4a) to provide a power ON/OFF function. The identification address of the receiver module can be set manually in the N-bit mechanical Etch The power supply provides DC power for the microprocessor and the RF receiver circuit. The RF receiver circuit receives the digital data from the transmitter module. The microprocessor checks the address code first, and if the address code is identical to the identification address of the receiver modules, the microprocessor will accept the transmitted data The dimming data represents an absolute dimming level. Once accepted, the dimming data will be converted into an analog DC dimming voltage signal (Vdim) by the D/A converter for the DC lines DC1 and DC2 of the dimming electronic ballasts. The D/A conversion of this dimming signal (Vdim) can be derived from an A/D converter circuit However, for low-cost microprocessors without an inbuilt DWA converter, a low-cost solution to this D/A conversion is to use the microprocessor to generate a variable duty-cycle PWM signal and then filter this PWM signal with a resistive-capacitor (RC) filter. The control of the duty-cycle of the PWM signal determines the DC dimming signal voltage level. The larger the duty-cycle, the higher the DC voltage in the output of the RC filter.
[0026] The block diagram of the receiver module in FIG. 2) is shown in FIG. 4(b). This receiver module is similar to that in FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 4(a), except that it does not have a relay to control tie AC power of the electronic ballasts. This means that the remote control system described in FIG. 2(b) provides dimming control only for the electronic ballasts and not the ON/OFF control (The ON/OFF control can be achieved by turning off the AC power in this case).
[0027]FIG. 5 shows the schematic diagram of the transmitter module if a battery-powered hand-held remote control unit is preferred. This consists of battery source (typically one or two AAA type batteries), a RF transmitter circuit (TX) including an antenna, a microprocessor (μP), a N-bit switch for setting the identification address and a control panel consisting of at least 2 control buttons.
[0028] For the system including the ON/OFF control, the remote control transmitter module should have at least 3 control buttons. One button is for 'ON/OFF' control, the second one is for 'increase' of dimming level and the third one is for 'decrease' of the dimming level. The microprocessor is normally in 'sleep' mode and consumes minimum power if any of the control buttons is not pressed for a while. This is an energy saving management approach for a battery-powered hand-held remote control transmitter. If any of the buttons is activated, the microprocessor will jump to the 'active' mode. In the active mode, the microprocessor will read the N-bit address data. It will also react according to which button is pressed, is If the ON/OFF button is activated, it will transmit the N-bit address data, an M-bit dimming data and an ON/OFF signal (for the relay) sequentially as shown in FIG. 3 via the RF transmitter circuit. The M-bit dimming data is the original one stored in the memory of the microprocessor if neither of the 'increase' nor 'decrease' button is pressed. The ONIOFF signal will trigger the relay to turn on or off. If the relay is turned off initially, it will be turned on after the receiving module receives the ON/OFF signal, and vice versa. If only the ON/OFF button is pressed to turn on the lighting system, the lighting control includes a warm-start process to fully turn on the lighting devices such as discharge lamps (e.g. fluorescent lamps) before the lap is dimmed to the memorized dimming level. This warm-start process is illustrated in FIG 6. The microprocessor based receiver module will initially generate a low dimming voltage (typically 1V-2V) for the DC lines DCI and DC2 for a short period (typically 0.5 s to 1 s). This dimming voltage will not cause the electronic ballast to generate a high voltage to ignite the discharge lamp. Instead, it will cause a current to warm up the filaments of the discharge lamps for the next ignition step. After the warm-up period, the receiver module generates a full dimming voltage signal of 10V to fully turn on the fluorescent lamps. Then the dimming level will gradually move back to its previous stored value. The warm-start process described here is a technique for ensuring long lifetime of the discharge lamps.
[0029] If either the 'increase' or 'decrease' button is pressed, the dimming data will be 'increased' or 'decreased', respectively within the range of the 2M dimming levels. Both the address data and the latest dimming data will be transmitted as long as either of the continuously the latest dimming level for the dimming electronic ballast.
[0030] It is a known phenomenon that the human eyes compensate for diminishing light by dilating the pupils to let more light in, and the actual amount of light and the perceived amount of light obeys a square-law. This feature is implemented in the present invention by using a square-law type distribution of the DC dimming voltage signal (for DC1 and DC2 of the electronic ballast) over the full range of the digitized dimming range (2M digital values from 0 to 2M−1) in the microprocessor. This square-type mapping is illustrated in FIG. 7.
[0031] The receiver module of the proposed system provides the dc dimming voltage for the electronic ballasts and can be installed close to the electronic ballast. Consequently, the proposed wireless remote control system eliminates the need for installing long dc wires and thus the need for wiring the building when commercial 4-wire dimming electronic ballasts ale installed. Furthermore the system can provide warn-start process for discharge lamps and memorize me dimming level set by the user even after the lighting system is turned off.

NBC has announced that its Emmy-winning Friday Night Lights will return on May 7th. For those of you who've been paying close attention, the series was originally set to return April 30.
Thanks to Deadline for calling this one in from the booth.
Scene Source tells us that the fourth season of FNL has already aired on DirectTV, so you serious fans out there might want to think long and hard about that after the NBC fumble.
For those that need a recap, here's the original synopsis of the show:
"In the small town of Dillon, Texas, one night matters: Friday Night. Eric Taylor has recently been hired as the head football coach for the Dillon High School Panthers, the town's pride and joy. Friday Night Lights displays the stress that the town gives the high school players to win, and the hope that the team gives to a small town, and how a team has its low points, its high points, and how they come together as a team on their way to victory."
More recently, Coach Taylor's wife, Tami, has become the Principal of another nearby school.
Friday Night Lights will return to NBC on Friday, May 7th at 8pm.

What Prince George is thinking, as imagined by a BBC correspondent
"Why is that man in a suit following me?"
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is a British public service broadcasting corporation headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It is the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees, with about 23,000 staff. Its main responsibility is to provide impartial public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
The BBC is a semi-autonomous public service broadcaster that operates under a Royal Charter and a Licence and Agreement from the Home Secretary. Within the United Kingdom its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee, which is charged to all British households, companies and organisations using any type of equipment to record and/or receive live television broadcasts; the level of the fee is set annually by the British Government and agreed by Parliament.
Outside the UK, the BBC World Service has provided services by direct broadcasting and re-transmission contracts by sound radio since the inauguration of the...

Skipping school can mean a lot more for students than just failing a test. California Attorney General Kamala Harris says it can cause kids to fall behind and ultimately drop out of high school.
Harris joined state lawmakers in introducing a package of legislation designed to curb truancy among elementary school students. She says showing up in class is critical to a student's future success.
"If a child, at the end of third grade, is not at reading level, they are four times more likely than other students to be a high school dropout," Harris says.
Harris' office estimates one million elementary students are truant each year, with a quarter of those missing at least 18 days of school. Truant students cost school districts more than $1 billion a year in lost state funds.
Among other things, the bills would help districts comply with truancy tracking requirements and work with parents to address causes of truancy.

Mike DiPetrillo's post entitled VMware is Building Clouds sparked some interesting thoughts and discussion about what it means to have federated clouds and how do you define such federation? Is federated required to make 'cloud' ubiquitous or are we already there? But is the discussion really about federated clouds or simplistic data object movement between the VMs or about cloud management?
Author Archive for Edward Haletky
Edward L. Haletky, aka Texiwill, is the author of VMware vSphere(TM) and Virtual Infrastructure Security: Securing the Virtual Environment as well as VMware ESX and ESXi in the Enterprise: Planning Deployment of Virtualization Servers, 2nd Edition. Edward owns AstroArch Consulting, Inc., providing virtualization, security, network consulting and development and The Virtualization Practice where he is also an Analyst. Edward is the Moderator and Host of the Virtualization Security Podcast as well as a guru and moderator for the VMware Communities Forums, providing answers to security and configuration questions. Edward is working on new books on Virtualization.[All Papers/Publications...]
At the InfoSec World 2011 conference, in the sessions I attended, there was quite a bit of discussion about moving to the cloud as well as cloud outages.
When CloudFoundry was announced, my first thought was this is a nightmare waiting to happen. Why do I think this, because I was not thinking about Open Source developers but enterprise developers and the biggest issue with enterprise development is that the data used by developers is either made up data, but more often than not is actual production data. So the question becomes how can such data be protected when using PaaS public clouds?
VMware and Microsoft approach the Small to Medium companies quite differently, but which product to buy often depends on your business needs vs cost of the products. However, there needs to be at least one major distinction: SMB vs SME.
The Small to Medium Business (SMB) is quite a bit different than the growing number of Small to Medium Enterprises (SME), and VMware knows this does Microsoft or Citrix?
VMware's latest effort, CloudFoundry, is not about VMware delving into the PaaS market even deeper. They have done that already with VMforce. CloudFoundry on the other hand is a fairly astute move to enable the development and rapid adoption of cloud based applications. The end goal is to sell what makes up a PaaS environment which is more enabling software. This would enable enterprises and businesses to move to the cloud. The problem with them moving now is that there are not that many applications that are cloud friendly. In effect more concentration on the application and less on the operating system which has always been VMware's strategic direction.
On the 4/7/2011 Virtualization Security Podcast, we were joined by Wyatt Starnes of Harris Corporation. Wyatt is the Vice President of Advanced Concepts of Cyber Integrated Solutions at Harris. What this means, is that Wyatt is one of the key folks of the Harris Trusted Cloud initiative. Trust is a funny word, and we have written about that in the past. Harris' approach is unique in that they are attempting to ensure integrity of all components of the cloud down to the code level, not just the network with their target being the hosted private cloud and NOT the secure multi-tenant public cloud.
There were two announcements over the last few days that struck me as quite important to the virtualization community. While some may question this statement, the long reaching effects of these purchases will impact virtualization and cloud computing in not so distant future. In fact, these purchases could add a whole new layer to vSphere as we know it today. Which for VMware is a good thing. They need to continue to innovate to stay ahead of the pack. The purchases I talk about are:
VMware purchasing/taking over control of EMC Mozy
RSA purchasing NetWitness
Managing licensing and utilization costs is a mess today in the physical world. Introducing elastic scaling of workloads into a hybrid private/public cloud introduces new uncertainties and new software licensing metering and compliance issues. This is particularly true in the case of enterprise applications which are licensed by the enterprise from the software vendor and then deployed on an as needed basis on Iaas or PaaS clouds.
With the diversity of cloud's available today, data being sent from one to another could appear to be a hodge-podge of security. As one colleague put it recently when I asked what he was expecting to maintain integrity of data in motion between clouds:
"… what kind of kludge can things end up being when you have multiple connections to multiple hybrid clouds all doing different things" — Steve Beaver
So how does data transfer between the clouds? Is it a kludge? or can it be done using a uniform security policy, procedures, and protocols while maintaining Integrity and Confidentiality and auditability?
