Fans pledge £200,000 for Blues fund
Andy Carswell, Senior reporter / / SportFollow @@_AndyCarswell
WANDERERS supporters have pledged £200,000 to help their club through a new share issue scheme.
Alternative proposals for fans to raise money should they oppose a mooted takeover of the club were put forward earlier this year.
The Wycombe Wanderers Trust board hope the venture will raise £2million for the club over a five year period and they've been encouraged by the initial response.
The board will now wait until the end of the month to see if more supporters would be willing to pledge additional funds.
Members then hope to announce the full details of how the scheme would work in eight weeks' time once they have approval from HMRC.
Trust chairman Trevor Stroud said: "Almost £200,000 has been pledged in one month and we are extending the share issue to April 30. The response has been very encouraging and we hope it will continue."
Initially the share issue was targeted at fans who are members of the Trust, but club chairman Don Woodward said details of how to pledge money had been sent out to a further 17,000 non-members keen to help out.
For further information on the share scheme email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Our striker (I use that term in the loosest possible way) is quoted in the BFP regarding non payment of bonuses. How can anyone currently playing for WWFC possibly think they deserve a bonus?
This makes me so angry, I am torn over a sacrifice I would make to invest £2,000 my current response is a NO if 1 penny would go on bonuses. Rant done for now.

The Samsung MV800 MultiView is an updated take on the company's DualView line. Rather than two LCDs—one on the back, one on the front—the MV800 has a single hinged display that can flip 180 degrees upward. Need a self portrait? Flip up the screen and see your beautiful mug smiling back at you. It also incorporates a smartphone-esque user interface, a lot like the one found on Samsung's Galaxy phones and tablets. Some shooting modes even behave like apps.
Aside from that, the MV800 is really a run-of-the-mill point-and-shoot in a fancy package. Image quality is average at best, performance is sluggish, and the 5x zoom ratio is pretty standard. Despite the cool design and user interface, it's tough to justify the MV800's $279 price tag.

Vibraderm in Bellevue
The longer you let skin problems go, the more complicated the way to fix them. Acne scars, age spots, wrinkles etc get worse the longer you let them go, and they might require more intense and even surgical methods to fix. But Vibraderm, practiced by specialists in Bellevue, can get rid of these blemishes quickly and easily, nipping the problem in the bud.
Vibraderm consists of a series of paddles with abrasive particles, which we admit doesn't sound pleasant. But it isn't a problem- it is essentially just an intense and hyper-productive exfoliation, safe for the entire body. This both removes surface problems and stimulates the growth of new collagen, leading to healthy skin. If you are interested in this, contact a specialist in Bellevue today!

Hi everyone,
Hope all is well with you guys and gals of the DA. Just a few random things.
1. has so much going on at her Sub Shop. Dresses, costumes, leather belts, cuffs, gags, shoes...and so much more. She just keeps adding more and more. Stop by and check it out.
2.The latest Avenger's movie is ...eh. *shrugs* It's ok but not as good as the last one and not even as good as the last few movies in the Marvel Universe in my humble opinion. They also tweaked the originals of the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in a way I don't really care about. Highlights for me...giving Hawkeye some background and Scarlet Witch's power setting. Lowlights: that dude that can pick up the hammer and Black Widow's odd choice in men.
3. I got the very talented working on a new commission. It will be special I think in more ways than one. But what I am hoping to do is to get this art piece signed by none other than Neil Gaiman this fall
I'll keep you up to date as it comes about. She is also the one that did this fun piece for me
4. Do you know what is coming out this August?? The much anticipated Empowered Vol. 10 by
I saw a pic of Emp in *gasp* a wedding dress!!! Wonder if she'll get tied in it? Hmmmmm
That's it for now...have a great May!!!

Democratic state senators are pushing the head of the Department of Children and Family Services to account for more than $100 million in cuts. Under Rauner's proposal, 18-year-olds would be cut out of state services. Judge Approves Interim Plan To Address Scandals At DCFS By Patrick Smith • Mar 10, 2015 DCFS Last month, a WBEZ investigation found that the Department of Children and Family Services routinely leaves kids in jail for weeks, even months, after a judge says they should go home. That's after a recent Chicago Tribune series found the residential centers the state sends some kids to are unsafe and poorly monitored. Ben Wolf with the American Civil Liberties Union says the root of both of those problems is a lack of mental health services for kids with special needs. Could DCFS Child Abuse Deaths Move Rauner's Budget? By Tony Arnold • Feb 17, 2015 WBEZ The number of Illinois children dying from abuse and neglect remains high even after the state's child welfare agency had been involved with the child's family, according to a new analysis from WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times. It comes as Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has vowed to "transform" the state's long-troubled Department of Children and Family Services. DCFS Gets New Interim Director By Tony Arnold • Jan 19, 2015 DCFS The state agency charged with protecting vulnerable children gets a new interim director today. Governor Bruce Rauner is still searching for a permanent director of Illinois' Department of Children and Family Services. Cynthia Tate takes over DCFS today on an interim basis while a search for a permanent director continues. She replaces Bobbie Gregg - who hadn't even been on the job for a year. Gregg was the latest in a string of directors for the troubled agency - which has been criticized for neglecting youth in its care. Ward Of State Charged With Murder By Tony Arnold & Chris Fusco • Sep 24, 2014 willcountyillinois.com A Joliet woman is scheduled to appear in a Will County courtroom Wednesday for the murder of her roommate. It is believed to be the first time since 2009 that a ward of the State of Illinois has been arrested for murder. Sources say Kadiedra Speed was adopted by parents who ended up abusing her. And she spent time in psychiatric hospitals. Court records show she got in several fights in her teens. And lived in four homes in five years. Most recently, in Joliet. New DCFS Director Outlines Priorities By Tony Arnold & Chris Fusco • May 5, 2014 state of Illinois The new director of Illinois' child welfare agency wants a better system for tracking children who die from abuse or neglect. Bobbie Gregg's listing her priorities as the new director of Illinois' Department of Children and Family Services. She talked to WBEZ and to the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board about children who died from abuse or neglect - even after DCFS investigated the families. The two news organizations partnered last year - and found deaths like those were on the rise. DCFS warns of service cuts due to $85 million funding loss By WNIJ • Jun 20, 2012 The Department of Children and Family Services is sounding warnings it will cut services that keep kids from having to go into foster care as a consequence of an $85 million budget cut. Gov. Pat Quinn says he's unhappy with the cuts, and hinted that he'll do something to try to prevent them when he acts on the budget later this month.

Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium
Social justice has become a rally cry to action. Just what
kind of action, however, is not always clear. Is social
justice primarily an agenda for government to pursue, or for
individuals and their interactions together in community?
Social justice, rightly understood, is about exercising "the
elementary skills of civil society," says Michael Novak. It
involves cooperating with others to accomplish things for the good
of society as a whole. Social justice is best pursued not
through the bureaucratic state, which tends to be expensive,
impersonal and even counterproductive. Indeed, this can be an
injustice. F. A. Hayek and others have roundly and rightly
condemned such notions of social justice.
There is a better way, says Novak: to practice the virtue of
social justice through rebuilding civil society. Social
justice demands the nurture of the individual and community habits
and the social, political and economic institutions that sustain a
free society. Only through attention to these concrete means
can we hope to achieve the ideals of liberty and justice for

The present invention relates to computer systems; more particularly, the present invention relates to video processing.
Image enhancement is an important factor in the field of video processing. On the end user side of an image/video application, image enhancement techniques are typically applied as part of post-processing filtering to improve picture quality. Conventional media processors improve picture quality by magnifying the high frequency component to increase the detail/sharpness of picture content. Unfortunately, magnifying the high frequency component blindly will lead to undesirable picture quality due to the magnifying of the noise detail of picture content.
The invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements, and in which:
A content adaptive detail filtering mechanism is disclosed. In one embodiment, the mechanism includes components that are applied to a post-processing system that in the areas of video, image, display and media processors. In one embodiment, the components include processes to enhance image/video visual quality by increasing picture detail/sharpness through content adaptive filtering; provide content analysis by utilizing edge detection and noise detection to adapt the use of detail filtering; provide better/accurate content analysis by utilizing the pre-process filtering to improve edge detection and noise detection; provide detail filtering by a proposed two-dimensional (2-D) 2nd derivative formula to extract high frequency component; provide detail filtering by normalizing the filtering amount by a maximum of a high frequency component detected from a previous picture; provide detail filtering by modifying a filtering amount by a noise detection or a portion of the maximum of the high frequency component detected from the previous picture; and provide detail filtering by allowing end users to specify a filtering gain factor to modify a filtering amount to achieve a user preference.
In the following detailed description of the present invention numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention.
Reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
Some portions of the detailed descriptions that follow are presented in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. An algorithm is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. The steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. It has proven convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like.
It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following discussion, it is appreciated that throughout the description, discussions utilizing terms such as "processing" or "computing" or "calculating" or "determining" or "displaying" or the like, refer to the action and processes of a computer system, or similar electronic computing device, that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical (electronic) quantities within the computer system's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computer system memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission or display devices.
The present invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the operations herein. This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purposes, or it may comprise a general-purpose computer selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. Such a computer program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium, such as, but is not limited to, any type of disk including floppy disks, optical disks, CD-ROMs, and magnetic-optical disks, read-only memories (ROMs), random access memories (RAMs), EPROMs, EEPROMs, magnetic or optical cards, or any type of media suitable for storing electronic instructions, and each coupled to a computer system bus.
The algorithms and displays presented herein are not inherently related to any particular computer or other apparatus. Various general-purpose systems may be used with programs in accordance with the teachings herein, or it may prove convenient to construct more specialized apparatus to perform the required method steps. The required structure for a variety of these systems will appear from the description below. In addition, the present invention is not described with reference to any particular programming language. It will be appreciated that a variety of programming languages may be used to implement the teachings of the invention as described herein.
The instructions of the programming language(s) may be executed by one or more processing devices (e.g., processors, controllers, control processing units (CPUs),
In a further embodiment, a chipset 107 is also coupled to interconnect 105. Chipset 107 may include a memory control component (MC) 110. MC 110 may include a memory controller 112 that is coupled to a main system memory 115. Main system memory 115 stores data and sequences of instructions that are executed by CPU 102 or any other device included in system 100.
MC 110 may be coupled to an input/output control component (IC) 140 via a hub interface. IC 140 provides an interface to input/output (I/O) devices within computer system 100. IC 140 may support standard I/O operations on I/O interconnects such as peripheral component interconnect (PCI), accelerated graphics port (AGP), universal serial interconnect (USB), low pin count (LPC) interconnect, or any other kind of I/O interconnect (not shown). In one embodiment, ICH 140 is coupled to a wireless transceiver 160.
According to one embodiment, IC 140 includes an instruction set to perform a content adaptive detail filtering of video data. However in other embodiments, IC 140 may include hardware modules to perform the process. In further embodiments, CPU 102 may be implemented to perform the process.
At processing block 250, the high frequency component is normalized related to the same high frequency information from a previous picture. At processing block 255, the adjustment amount is refined by a result of edge detection. At processing block 260, the processed video data is transmitted from ICH 140. The individual processes 220-255 are described below in greater detail.
According to a further embodiment, a parameter setting is provided for users to select a refinement amount to a user's preference.
The use of a low pass pre-processor to remove noise improves the accuracy of picture analysis. According to one embodiment, a 2-D pre-edge filter is implemented with a weighting w. In a further embodiment, the 2-D filter may be decomposed into two 1-D filters to reduce the number of operations. This can be represented as:
Considering a target pixel x with 3�3 neighborhood pixels, NH9(x), the output of the pre-edge-filter is represented by:
In Equation 2 above, the Σw(x)=16 for the summation of the pre_edge_filter_weighting in the Equation 1. The last term, ��Σw(x), is used for the rounding purpose. The above formula is included in this embodiment due to the simply complexity. However in other embodiments, other pre-processor techniques may be applied.
Content Analysis—Edge Protection
According to one embodiment, edge detection is used as the content analysis process to identify a pixel of interest to be applied for detail filtering. In such an embodiment, a Sobel edge operator, shown below, is applied as the edge detection process in four directions.
The edge metric (EM) for the target pixel x is formulated as the convolution of the weighting in the Equation 3 with its 3�3 neighborhood NH9(x) as
According to one embodiment, the use of two directions, (e.g., E_v, and E_h) may be sufficient for most applications. The detection at 45 degrees further improves the edge detection with more computational complexity.
High Frequency Component Extraction
In one embodiment, the 2-D formula shown above in Equation 5 is used to extract the high frequency component.
The refinement process includes two modification processes: normalization & edge adaptive. In one embodiment, the Sigma(Xc) is normalized by the maximum of the sigma value of the previous picture, sigma_max_previous, such that:
In one embodiment, the parameter C, which may be specified by users, is a weighting coming from the edge detection. In such an embodiment, pixels are classified as being a strong edge pixel, weak edge pixel and non-edge pixel. Subsequently, the C value is assigned according to the edgeness property of the pixel.
The delta in Equation 7 is a threshold to the high frequency component extraction above in which the modification is added to reconstruction. In one embodiment, this process is set by a noise detection level. However, such a process is not described herein so as not to provide confusion as to the scope of this invention. Thus, in this embodiment, 10% of sigma_max_previous is used as the threshold value.
User Preferences
As discussed above, may be provided by allowing end users to specify a filtering gain factor to modify a filtering amount to achieve a user preference. In such an embodiment, the amount of adjustment results in a final adjustment that is represented in Equation 8 as:
In one embodiment, the parameter K is a constant selected by a user. Further, represented in Equation 9 as:
The above-described mechanism achieves improved picture quality by utilizing the local spatial content information with the edge detection to adapt high frequency component adjustment to provide graceful enhancement of picture detail. Further, the pre-filtering process extracts more reliable high frequency components and more accurate content analysis. In addition, an effective high frequency component extraction clipping is applied to avoid underflow or overflow in producing the output process implements a two-Dimensional 2nd derivative formula to filter out the high frequency component to illustrate the detail of picture. Moreover, users are permitted to configure for various applications by allowing the user to specify a gain factor to achieve a user desirable viewing experience.
Whereas many alterations and modifications of the present invention will no doubt become apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art after having read the foregoing description, it is to be understood that any particular embodiment shown and described by way of illustration is in no way intended to be considered limiting. Therefore, references to details of various embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the claims, which in themselves recite only those features regarded as essential to the invention.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- At The Barclays, the first leg of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs, Tiger Woods said Wednesday that he would take one major over his five wins in 2013.
Still, the 37-year-old 14-time major champion says that he's had a great year, despite extending his careerlong drought in major wins to 18.
"You're looking over a course of a career, and you're going to have years where you don't win major championships and years that you do," he said. "There's years where I've won one tournament and years where I've won nine.
"So as long as I keep winning in all those years, it's not too bad."
For the second consecutive year at The Barclays, Woods has complained of back or neck pain related to a soft hotel bed. So on Wednesday he played only nine holes of his pro-am. He walked with his amateur partners but only chipped and putted at Liberty National. Last year during the event at Bethpage Black, he struggled through lower back pain to a tie for 38th.
Woods was seen grabbing his back in the final round of the PGA Championship this year. He also had an elbow injury that troubled him for two months this summer.
He said he's not concerned but didn't want to push it. He said everything felt fine when he was home.
Asked about getting a new bed, Woods smiled and said, "We'll have something."
Woods' best finish in seven Barclays appearances came in 2009, when it was last held at Liberty National and he finished in a tie for second.
He is ranked first in the FedEx Cup points race, but he understands that the winner isn't going to be determined until the playoff finale at the Tour Championship in late September.
Twice a FedEx Cup champion, the 79-time tour winner has grown comfortable with the series, now in its seventh year.
"You're basically playing for the top-five positioning going into the Tour Championship. Win it, and that will assure you being the champion of the playoffs," he said. "The first couple of years when Vijay and I won it, we didn't really have to play the Tour Championship."
When The Barclays was first held at Liberty National, Woods was a member of a vocal chorus of players who didn't particularly like the golf course. He described the Tom Kite-Bob Cupp design as "interesting."
Since then, the course, which has views of the Statue of Liberty and New York City, has undergone major renovations.
"They made some really nice improvements," Woods said. "Some of the landing areas have been changed, and a couple bunkers have been repositioned."
Woods said it would mean a lot to win his 11th PGA Tour Player of the Year honor.
"That's voted on by the players, so when you get the respect and the hats-off by your peers, that's something that we don't take lightly," he said.
Asked to name his competition for the honor, Woods gave Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker, all multiple winners in 2013.
"Obviously this run, any of those guys wins, hypothetically, wins all four, you're looking at a four-, five-, six-win season, and that's a pretty good season," he said.
On Wednesday, Woods also put a spotlight on his consistency since joining the tour in 1996. He pointed to the 10 years where he has won at least five events.
"That's one of the stats that I look at as one of the ones I'm really proud of," he said. "This is one of those years."

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- White Plains' Stepinac High School will be one of six schools in the nation to perform "Mary Poppins."
The award-winning school's Drama Club will present the Tony Award-winning musical, by Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's. Performances are May 2, 3, 9, 10 and 11 at the high school.
"It is an honor to present a musical about one of the most iconic and enduring Disney characters of all time. Mary Poppins' cultural reach is enormous; its impact is timeless and has already spanned five decades," said Frank Portanova, Stepinac's Drama Club director. "This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Disney movie, Mary Poppins. So it is particularly fitting to present this production in honor of the musical's golden anniversary."
Portanova is assisted in presenting the play by Keith Sunderland, Stepinac's Drama Club producer.
The Disney story consists of a cast of nearly 100 students including the stage crew. Christine Turturro of Croton-on-Hudson will play the leading role as Mary Poppins, and John Guaragna of Yonkers will portray the leading male role, Bert.
Additionally, two-time Helen Hayes Award winner Chris Guzman, of White Plains, will play George Banks and Amelia Sasson, of Mount Kisco, will play Winifred Banks.
The show includes cast and crew members from nearby high schools including Maria Regina High School, Good Counsel Academy, Harrison High School, Rye Neck High School, Walter Panas High School, White Plains High School, Hackley School, Edgemont High School, Briarcliff High School and Yonkers High School.
Tickets for the show are $22 for adults and $18 for senior citizens and children under 12 and can be purchased by calling 914-946-4800. For additional information, residents are asked to visit the Stepinac High School website or email email@example.com.

I have some expressions such as
x^2+y^2 that I'd like to use for some math calculations. One of the things I'd like to do is to take partial derivatives of the expressions.
So if
f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 then the partial of
f with respect to
x would be
2x, the partial with respect to
y would be
I wrote a dinky function using a finite differences method but I'm running into lots of problems with floating point precision. For example, I end up with
1.99234 instead of
2. Are there any libraries that support symbolic differentiation? Any other suggestions?

Practiced? Recommendations I (all based on equal qualification) o Visit and work on: ALA CODE § 39-3-5 o Cities and counties (and state) may consider reciprocal arrangements of the following nature: o If an outside business submits the lowest bid and its jurisdiction does not have local business preference policies, the contract should be awarded to the outside business. Recommendations … o If an outside business submits the lowest bid and its jurisdiction has local business preference policies, the bid amount by the outside business should be increased by the same percentage preference given to local businesses by the jurisdiction in which the outside bidder is located. Recommendations … o If contracts for works or services are awarded without competitive process, decision-makers of cities, counties, and all private entities should consider utilizing local businesses or businesses that hire local workers. o Use of local workers should be encouraged but not required. At the very least, all local leaders –public and private- o Pass a resolution promising to do their best to work with local businesses and to "buy local" whenever possible… o Possibly, organize a task force to review practices, tax rates, and laws that tend to discourage "buy local" !!! Thank you!

Eschscholzia californica, California PoppyCustomer Rating
The best red we've seen in a Californian Poppy! We trialled Californian Poppy 'Red Chief' over several years to make sure the flowers maintained their vibrant and rich red colour. Outstanding in our trials, the intensely coloured blooms are produced all summer long above low-growing mounds of feathery blue-green foliage, and are attractive to bees and hoverflies. Performing well in all weathers, this Eschscholzia variety is easy to grow in beds, borders and containers, or let it self-seed throughout gravel gardens to form natural drifts. Height: 25cm (10").

A charming, but exquisite stunner for the spring or summer garden. Its habit is branching so it reaches only 4-6in in height yet cascades or spreads for 12in Descriptively it's one mass of ½in double blooms, Uniquely the blooms have no consistent colour. The buds are deep pink opening to salmon and maturing to white, conveying this majestic blossom effect.

Occasionally singles will appear in the double forms and should be removed.More info
