UK/Wales in 8 days-need planning help
Im going to UK for vacation, 8 days/7 nights. We've been to London and Cotswolds before (wasn't planning on repeating Cotswolds). Going to stay in London for 3 nights, then onto Windsor/Highclere/Stonehenge for 1 day, sleeping in Bath. Stay in Bath for a day and another night. Then after Bath, want to hit southern wales. Never been to Wales. Is there a unique castle to stay in, or cute towns worth seeing? (Cardiff? Abergavenny? Newport?) I know Rick recommends Caerphilly Castle, but no hotel rec's in the area. We would do 1 night in Wales, and head over to Stratford, and have 1 night in Stratford, then head back to Heathrow. We are renting a car to get around. Any recommendations? Missing anything of note along this route? Any travel tips would be most appreciated!!

They work great on desktops and laptops. Very versatile and easy to install
This little router is excellent for the price! Delivery was prompt. Set up was easy. We've been using it for over a year and have never had a problem.
It works but be careful or you will break it4/9/2011
The item worked great however its construction is a bit flimsy. It sticks out of the side of your laptop and is easy to bump into. At first a little rejiggering got it working again but eventually the internal usb connection failed due to the stress from bumping it. I am now looking for a new one that is not so prone to damage. A better housing would have solved the problem Way to delicate for me.
Just Received my Refurb USB Wireless Connecor12/1/2010
My second laptop, that happens to be newer than my first, crashed the internal wireless card. I did not wish to send it back to HP, which would have cost more than it was worth so, I shopped around and found Buy.com and the USB connector to the Internet. I thought, how bad could buying a refurb be since it comes with a warranty etc. The set up was as easy as I thought - getting used to an external connector is the only thing I have to remember but, Cisco is one of the best companies and I would recommend Buy.com to anyone who wants a great deal for great products! Thanks BUY for giving me my light-weight laptop back!!! DMB

UGANDAN professional golfers Deo Akope and Denis Anguyo ventured into the MENA Tour in United Arab Emirates and are finding it tough to match the level of competition.
Akope who missed the cut in the Shaikh Maktoum Dubai Open last week was most unlikely to make it the next on the tour which teed on Monday.
The MTN sponsored Akope shot an opening round 76 on Monday which he followed up with 74 to lie in 88th position in the Ras Al Khaimah Classic.
He needed to play under the Tower Links Golf Club par 72 to stand a chance of advancing to the third and fourth rounds.
Only the top 50 advance to the third and fourth rounds and are entitled to a share of the $50,000 (sh130m) prize money.
Anguyo who started the MENA Tour at Tower Links scored 79 in the first round and turned in 81 yesterday to occupy 113th spot out of 116 golfers.
South African Tyler Hogarty whose opening round of 65 set a new course record was still in the lead.

Pre-recorded speech is played back at a different rate, without pitch change. Adjacent signal segments are combined with best match processing. Method and apparatus process time domain speech signals containing speech information, the rate of reproduction of which is to be varied without changing pitch, wherein the input signal is processed by capturing input time domain speech samples in frames wherein the number of samples per frame is a function of a desired speech change factor, forming blocks from the frames, additively cross correlating input blocks with prior-processed or output blocks, preferably by means of an Average Magnitude Difference Function, to obtain a time relation of best match for the rate of reproduction, adding consecutive input and output blocks at the point of maximum correlation, and applying a window function between the overlapping portions of the output block and the input block to obtain a new output block. The method does not require multiplication or division. Relatively smooth transitions between superimposed segments of speech which become output blocks are realized by applying a graduated weighting.
1. A method for processing time domain speech signals containing speech information to vary the rate of reproduction thereof without change of pitch comprising:
superimposing partially overlapping blocks of speech samples in a manner such that periodicity of pitch is maintained, the extent of superimposition being a function of a desired variance in rate of reproduction of said speech information;
applying an average magnitude difference of function to the overlapping blocks at each superimposition in a search range to determine a best match;
fixing a precise superimposition of the overlapping blocks in accordance with the best match; and
applying a smoothed weighted function to the superimposed portion of the overlapping blocks.
2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said superimposing step comprises defining a search range over which said best match is sought, said search range being a function of pitch frequency of said speech information.
3. A method for varying rate of reproduction of speech information comprising the steps, for each frame of speech information, of:
receiving speech samples representative of time domain speech information sufficient to form a frame, the number of speech samples being determined by a desired rate of reproduction, and duration of the frame being fixed;
placing said speech samples in an input block having a first portion and at least a second portion;
establishing a first search range and a second search range on an output block, specifically a high search range and a low search range, an output block being a block which was processed directly prior to said frame;
designating a first portion of the samples of said input block as a high search representation;
additively comparing between said input block and said output block for all samples between said low search range and said high search range according to an average magnitude difference function to obtain a point of maximum cross correlation of said output block with said input block;
at the point of maximum cross correlation; combining overlapping segments of said input block with said output block according to a preselected smoothing weighting function to form a next output block; and
providing said next output block as information to an output utilization means, said next output block also becoming said output block for a next iteration.
4. The method according to claim 1 wherein said smoothing weighting function is a ramped window function having a maximum combination at commencement of said input block and minimum combination at termination of said output block.
5. A method for varying the rate of reproduction of a time domain speech signal containing speech information without changing pitch comprising the steps for each frame of speech of:
capturing input time domain speech samples in a unit defined by said frame at a fixed sample rate, the number of samples per frame being a function of a desired speech change factor;
forming an input block from at least a portion of a first said frame;
comparing said input block with a prior-processed block by means of a multiplierless average magnitude difference function to obtain a time relation of maximum correlation at a preselected rate of reproduction indicated by a point in time where the average magnitude difference between said input block and said prior-processed block is of minimum magnitude;
adding said input block to said prior-processed block in overlap at said point of maximum correlation to obtain an intermediate block having a common portion between said input block and said prior processed block;
weighting said common portion by a smoothing window function to obtain an output block for output as well as for use as a next subsequent prior-processed block with a next subsequent input block; and
providing with said output block to an output utilization means for reproduction of a segment of said speech signal at a rate differing from said input rate and without a change of pitch.
6. A system for processing time domain speech signals containing speech information to vary rate of reproduction thereof without changing pitch comprising:
means for superimposing partially overlapping blocks of speech samples in a manner such that periodicity of pitch is maintained, the extent of superimposition being a function of a desired variance in rate of reproduction of said speech information;
means for applying an average magnitude difference function to the overlapping blocks at each superimposition in a search range to determine a best match;
means for fixing a precise superimposition of the overlapping blocks in accordance with the best match; and
means for applying a smoothed weighting function to the superimposed portion of the overlapping blocks.
7. The system according to claim 6 wherein said superimposing means includes means for applying a smoothed weighting function to the superimposed portion of the overlapping blocks.
8. The system according to claim 7 wherein said superimposing means further comprises means defining a search range over which said best match is sought, said search range being a function of pitch frequency of said speech information.
9. The system according to claim 6 wherein said superimposing means comprises means defining a search range over which said best match is sought, said search range being a function of pitch frequency of said speech information.
This invention relates to digital signal processing and more particularly to time domain digital speech processing in order to vary the rate of reproduction of speech without changing pitch.
In recent years various techniques have been developed for achieving time compression/expansion of audio information, particularly speech information. In order to utilize time compression or expansion effectively, where the compression or expansion factor is significant, some mechanism is necessary to correct for changes in pitch which would normally follow a direct application of acceleration or deceleration techniques. Acceleration or deceleration of recorded speech is easily achieved by speeding or slowing the rate of reproduction, which in turn raises or lowers pitch, as is expected.
Time compression and expansion of speech is useful in many applications. Time compression allows matching of speech information to a desired playback time. Time expansion is particularly useful for example, in dictation equipment to speed up playback or in foreign language learning situations to slow down playback to improve comprehension, which may be difficult or otherwise impaired.
Numerous techniques have been developed to achieve time compression and/or expansion, particularly techniques which manipulate analog signal representations. Of the various prior art techniques, the following patents or publications are representative:
Roucos and Wilgus, "High Quality Time-Scale Modification for Speech," ICASSP 85. Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference of Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, pp. 493-6, Volume 2, 1985 (26-29 March 1985), IEEE. This relatively recent paper represents a development in the algorithms for reproducing speech using digital techniques. The research group is Bolt, Beranek & Newman Inc. of Cambridge, Mass.
Makhoul, J. and El-Jaroudi, "Time-Scale Modification in Medium to Low Rate Speech Coding," ICASSP 86. Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference of Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing pp. 1705-1708, Volume 3, 1986, (Apr. 7-11, 1986), IEEE. This paper produced by the same research group related to the foregoing describes further development in digital signal processing techniques for rate modifying speech.
These two papers relate to description and implementation of the synchronous-overlap-and-add method of time-scale modification. The algorithm described therein allows arbitrary linear or nonlinear scaling of the time axis using a modified overlap-and-add procedure operating on the time domain waveform. The Makhoul paper describes the implementation of a technique involving generalized cross-correlaton between a normalized source signal (y(n)) and a normalized derived signal (x(n)). The technique was originally described in the Roucos paper.
Asada et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,435,832 issued Mar. 6, 1984, to Hitachi, describes a speech synthesizer wherein LPC (linear predictive coding) techniques are employed to synthesize speech. Control is exercised over the rate of speech by lengthening or shortening the time interval of interpolation between the fetching of each of the LPC parameters to synthesize the speech. This technology is essentially unrelated to the present invention, since the present invention is unrelated to synthesized speech or parametrically-defined speech.
Klasco et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,406,001 issued Sept. 20, 1983, to The Variable Speech Control Company of San Francisco, describes a time compression/expansion audio reproduction system of the type which relies on analog circuitry. It provides speech correction by repetitive variable time delay achieved by separating the reproduced signal from a recording into components which are separately delayed. The signal is separated into contiguous frequency bands, each of which is delayed synchronously. The signal is then recombined after delay, and low-pass filtering techniques are employed to remove high-frequency components introduced into the speech components by the signal processing technique. This technology is readily distinguishable from the present invention for at least two reasons. First, this technology relies on analog methods, whereas the present invention is digital in nature. Second, the present invention does not require filtering of speech components. Other distinctions will also be apparent to those of ordinary skill in this art.
Brantingham et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,209,844, issued June 24, 1980, to Texas Instruments, describes a digital filter technique using a form of linear predictive coding (LPC). Specifically, the patent describes an invention embodied in a device implementing a lattice-type filter for generating complex waveforms suitable for implementation in semiconductor device technology. The invention appears to be unsuited to time-domain speech processing and further is not applicable to time scale modification in the time domain.
Kohut et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,022,974, issued May 10, 1987, to Bell Telephone Laboratories, describes a predictive speech synthesizer having the capability of varying speech without changing pitch. The Bell technique is substantially unrelated to the present invention, since it relates primarily to parametric speech and does not deal with a actual time domain speech signal.
What is needed is a simple yet effective digital technique for providing time scale modification of real time or near real time speech signals.
According to the invention, method and apparatus are provided to process time domain speech signal containing speech information, the rate of reproduction of which is to be varied without changing pitch. The basic process comprises superimposing partially overlapping blocks of speech samples in a manner such that the pitch periodicity is maintained. The extent of superimposition is a function of the desired increase or decrease , or variance, in the time scale of the speech. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, maintenance of speech periodicity is achieved by fixing the precise superimposition in the time domain such that the superimposed waveforms achieve a best match using a technique which does not require multiplication or division.
Relatively smooth transition between superimposed speech signals are realized by applying a graduated weighting thereto.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, if the extent of superimposition exceeds the amount of overlap, an accelerated speech output is provided, and if the extent of superimposition is less than the amount of overlap, a decelerated speech output is provided.
To minimize required computational load, the search range, that is, the range over which superimposition is varied in order to achieve a best match between speech segments, is selected as a function of pitch, thus ensuring that a sufficient number of samples are taken to assure that pitch pulses are contained in a sample set without requiring superfluous computations.
A specific embodiment of the invention allows for speech expansion of up to 150% and speech compression to as little as 40% of the duration of the source.
The method according to the invention may be incorporated into an embodiment using programmable digital signal processing hardware, such as a Texas Instruments TMS 320 Series device. Therefore it is not necessary to describe such devices in detail, since the combination of such components with programs in general are known to those of skill in the art. The application of such devices in accordance with the invention is nevertheless not apparent from the devices.
The method in accordance with the invention is substantially simpler, faster and more efficient than other methods which might be considered for purposes similar to the intended application. As one consequence, the method in accordance with the invention is more easily adapted to implementation in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology.
The method in accordance with the invention makes use of a waveform-segments-matching technique which takes advantage of the periodic nature of the signals produced by speech, and more specifically the existence of pitch pulses within a speech signal. Hence, in accordance with the invention, use is made of the maximum value of the pitch period of the input speech to reduce complexity, a technique not used heretofore.
The invention will be better understood by reference to the following detailed description in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a device which operates in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method in accordance with the invention.
FIGS. 3A through 3D are illustrations showing operation of the method and apparatus according to the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a block diagram is shown of a signal processing apparatus 10 illustrating a typical environment of apparatus in accordance with the invention. Many variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in this art, including such variations as to the type of input devices and output components.
In the illustrative embodiment, the signal processing apparatus 10 includes a time-domain speech sampling means 12, the input port 11 of which receives live real-time or substantially real-time analog speech signals, and the output port 13 of which is coupled to digital storage means 14, such as a computer memory or set of digital storage registers. The digital storage means 14 has a digital signal output which is coupled to a digital signal processing means 16, such as a microcomputer constructed around a programmable microprocessor or special purpose digital signal processing device.
A suitable microprocessor is a Motorola 68000 series microprocessor or a Texas Instruments TMS 32020 DSP Chip preprogrammed to receive digital input data temporarily stored in the digital storage means 16, to process the digital input data in accordance with the method of the invention and to provide as a digital output signal digital output data to an output means such as a digital-to-analog converter means 18.
The digital-to-analog converter means 18 reconstructs an analog signal for audio reproduction and therefore has an output terminal which is coupled to an audio amplifier means 20 or the like, such as an analog recorder. In addition, output of the digital signal processor 16 is provided to interim storage means 22 which provides a second input to the digital signal processing means 16 for use in comparing the resultant digital output with subsequently received speech segments (frames or portions of frames) as explained hereinbelow.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a flow chart for the relevant portion of a computer program for processing digitized input speech information in accordance with the invention. FIGS. 3A-3D, which are to be viewed as one diagram in connection with FIG. 2, illustrate the time relationship among block of speech samples. These blocks may represent the content of registers or temporary storage locations, each element of which contains data representing the amplitude of a given speech sample.
Phase information is for the most part ignored or otherwise only indirectly accounted for by the method according to the invention. It is known that the human ear is substantially immune to inaccuracies in phase information in speech.
In accordance with the invention, incoming speech is sampled at a selected sampling rate, and the samples are combined into blocks, herein termed "input blocks," the samples in each input block representing the amplitude of the speech i� signal for such sample. Each input block overlaps the preceding input block by a predetermined number of samples. The number of samples by which each successive input block exceeds or extends beyond the preceding input block is termed the overlap value or OV and is a function of the sampling rate and of the number of samples contained in an input block.
Normally, the sample values are normalized to a range suitable for subsequent processing. (Automatic gain control may be employed independently of the normalized values.) In a specific embodiment, a maximum pitch period of no more than 17 ms is assumed, and each input block contains a uniform number of samples, selected to be between 80 and 120, representing a nominal 10-15 ms segment of speech information. A 10 ms segment is considered time invariant for the purpose of speech, which has a nominal spectrum of information of 200 Hz to 4000 Hz.
The method of the invention normally begins with initializing of variables and memory locations, which are set in accordance with preselected initializing values (Step A). The values to be initialized include user-selectable parameters, such as the number of samples which will be contained in each input block, the value of overlap value OV and the speed control value SCV, which indicates the amount by which it is desired to speed up or slow down speech (Step B).
The speed control value SCV is typically expressed as a number of samples. If the SCV is selected to exceed the overlap value OV, the output signal will be slowed relative to the input signal. If the SCV is selected to be less than the OV value, the output signal will be speeded up relative to the input signal.
FIG. 3A illustrates three successive input blocks on a continuing time scale, illustrating the overlapping thereof. In accordance with the present invention, an output block is defined and typically comprises an input block of speech samples which is stored in storage means 22. A superimposition reference pointer P is placed at a location along the output block in accordance with the SCV value (Step C).
FIG. 3B illustrates the pointer P at a location on an output block which produces speeding up of the output speech. Were the pointer P at the OV line, the output speech would be provided at exactly the same speed as the input speech.
A search range of a selected number of samples SR to either side of the pointer is selected as a function of the pitch frequency of the speech (Step D). The search range is requited to be approximately equal to the maximum pitch frequency. The selection of a search range is a particular feature of the present invention, as it enables preservation of pitch without requiring superfluous computations which require excess computing capability and computation time.
An input block, such as input block I, is defined (Step E). The first N samples of the input block (FIG. 3A) then undergo best fit matching to the portion of the output block within the above-defined search range, preferably by means of an Average Magnitude Difference Function (AMDF) adapted to the present invention, in order that the pitch pulses of the input block and the output block match as nearly as possible. Once the desired match has been found the input and output blocks are superimposed (FIG. 3C) at the location providing the best match, thereby preserving the pitch without creating undesired discontinuity between output blocks (Step F). In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the AMDF calculates the absolute value of the difference between the input block and the output block for each of a plurality of different possible superimpositions within the predetermined search range, thus identifying the superimposition having the lowest difference so that it may be selected for use in the subsequent processes. Use of the AMDF is a particular feature of the invention which represents a significant advance over the art and a departure from the prior art which employs cross-correlation functions. Such prior art functions involve multiplications which require substantial computation capabilities and computation time. Use of the AMDF increases capabilities without sacrificing computation power, which for example gives the method according to the invention an inherent bandwidth advantage over the prior art. A description of an Average Magnitude Difference Function suitable for implementation in the present invention is found in Digital Processing of Speech Signals, by L. R. Rabiner and R. W. Schafer, pp. 149-150 (Prentice-Hall, 1978), the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The superimposed portions of the output block and the input block are combined by a desired weighting arrangement or factor W (FIG. 3C) so as to provide a smooth transition from the sample values of the output block to those of the input block (Steps G and H). A substantially linear ramp is a suitable weighting factor, as illustrated in FIG. 3C.
The weighted combination of the input block with the overlapping portion of the output block becomes a new or next output block, herein indicated as output block II and shown in FIG. 3D. Output block II is stored in storage means 22.
According to the invention, that portion of the output block I which did not overlap the input block is output for the DAC 18 (FIG. 1) (Step I).
It is to be appreciated that the difference between the location of the pointer and the location at which superimposition begins is a potential source of distortions if combined over several output blocks. Accordingly, signal processor 16 operates to store the information on this difference (Step J) and to position the pointer on the subsequent output block so as to compensate for this difference.
Reference is made to the Appendix for a detailed technical description illustrating a specific embodiment of the invention.
The invention has now been explained with reference to specific embodiments. Other embodiments will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art. It is therefore not intended that the invention be limited, except as indicated by the appended claims. ##SPC1##

PHILADELPHIA - DECEMBER 10: Chris Pronger #20 of the Philadelphia Flyers skates against the Ottawa Senators on December 10, 2009 at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
Chris Pronger spoke to the media Thursday for the first time since mid-November of 2011. Pronger called the press conference because he wanted to speak to the media about his situation and to answer questions about everything that has been going on. It was thought that Pronger called the press conference to announce his retirement. When asked about it, Pronger denied announcing his retirement despite his concussion specialist saying that his career is done. Pronger admitted to the media that his cognitive skills are "a little suspect at time" and added that the doctor says that he has "significant vulnerabilities that may or may not go away." Symptoms continue to pop up from time to time. Pronger cannot run, ride a bike with his heart rate too high, or do anything where his body is moving fast without getting symptoms of light-headedness. It seemed that Pronger feels confident and optimistic about getting healthy, despite the likelihood of him returning not being strong. Pronger finished off his press conference with this quote to Lisa Hillary, "I'm just continuing to try to get healthy. Presently getting healthy. I'm not worrying about the other stuff." Pronger's future is still in question. It is unlikely to see him in a Flyers uniform in the near future. But the main concern is not whether or not he can play, it is his own personal health.

Gordon Matheson, leader of Glasgow City Council, said the move would boost the economic development of the wider area, with the cash being spent on infrastructure projects.
George Osborne pledged support for what he called Glasgow's 'ambitious plan' in Wednesday's Budget speech. Under the proposed terms of the City Deal priorities such as infrastructure, strengthening the local labour market and support for business have all been identified.
Mr Matheson said: "This is hugely exciting and will be the first of its kind in Scotland. Our priorities are infrastructure investment, strengthening the local labour market, and support for business growth. I look forward to finalising the details in the coming months."

Endorsed by 12 Teachers of the Year, Saltwater Taffy is set during the 4th of July weekend and follows the lives of five "tweenage" friends as they uncover a treasure map leading to the Lost Treasure of Jean Lafitte. The discovery thrusts them from one treasure hunting adventure to the next as they try to out-wit, out-think and out-maneuver everyone from a one-legged junk yard man and an overbearing town bully, to the creepy old man living at the top of the hill.

Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Jonathan Martin will be going up against his former college coach Jim Harbaugh this coming Sunday, but that's probably the last thing on his mind these days.NFL sack leader Aldon Smith likely has most of Martin's attention. With left tackle Jake Long going on Injured Reserve this week, Martin, a rookie, will move from right tackle to the blindside just in time to travel to San Francisco to face Smith and Harbaugh's red-hot 49ers.Smith leads the NFL in sacks with 17.5 and is ready to pin back his ears facing a young lineman who he referred to as "serviceable.""He's a serviceable tackle in this league," Smith said this week, according to SFGate.com. "It's definitely not Long in there."Martin was a little more complimentary of Smith."He's a beast," Martin said, via the Palm Beach Post. "That left side of the defense is really talented. It will be a big challenge."Martin has given up 34 quarterback hurries and five sacks, according to Pro Football Focus. ...

Willie McGinest Says Super Bowl Win Over Rams 'Would Have Been a Blowout' If Patriots Cheated (Video)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 1/31/13
CLEVELAND - 2008: Willie McGinest of the Cleveland Browns poses for his 2008 NFL headshot at photo day in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Getty Images)
Marshall Faulk wants to know how the underdog Patriots could have defeated the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI without cheating. Willie McGinest is happy to tell him. Amid Faulk's murmurings that the Patriots used illegal taping to give them an advantage in their 20-17 win in 2001, McGinest jumped on Comcast Sports Net's Felger and Mazz to share his view on Wednesday. His assessment — that the Patriots were flat-out better and smarter — will not likely sit well with Faulk. McGinest talked about how the Patriots had flexible defensive schemes that took advantage of the team's "smart" personnel, who could quickly pick up and respond to what the Rams were doing. That's what gave New England the edge, he said. McGinest also pointed to the game's final score, after the Rams' second-half comeback, as proof that the Pats didn't have St. Louis all figured out. "If we had any extra information, then that game wouldn't have been as dramatic as it was, coming down to a field goal," McGinest said. "Trust me. It would have been a blowout." McGinest wasn't the only former Patriot defending the team this week. Matt Light also had a response for Faulk. "Listen, I've lost two championship games. Lost," Light said, according to ESPN. "The same as he has. You can go back and look at anything you want … they lost that game. They had ample opportunity to win it. … You got to move on, baby." Check out what McGinest had to say in the video below. document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-form-28307866f27e142740c7466e0e98af5b').submit();

One of the most legendary rock songs of all time, "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, might just be a copy-and-paste job. That's the claim of the heirs of Randy Craig Wolfe (aka Randy California), a legendary guitarist in his own right, a protege of Jimi Hendrix who formed the band Spirit when he was still a teenager and was a pioneer in the psychedelic rock category.
Spirit released the instrumental interlude "Taurus" two years before "Stairway to Heaven." Zeppelin toured with Spirit and often covered the latter band's songs when they opened for them.
Now Wolfe's estate, decades after the songs were released, is raising a copyright infringement claim over the issue.

80 Truck Drayage Productivity Guide drayage firms and ocean carriers. Such issues arising at entrance gates are likely to result in trou- ble tickets. Issues arising over damage to the container or chassis also will result in a trouble ticket and a delay. Empty containers returned with soiling or the remnants of packing materials are a special problem for drayage drivers. In principle, the driver should have checked the interior con- dition when picking up the empty container form the consignee. Time pressure or recalcitrant employees at the consignee's loading dock may, however, saddle the driver with a dirty or clut- tered unit. If so, the driver must empty and clean the unit before it will be accepted at the marine terminal. Too often, the driver winds up dumping any remnants of packing, broken pallets, and other debris by the side of the road or in a vacant lot. Because the ultimate origin and destination of the box and chassis are uncertain at time of pick up, the motor carriers have sought relief under the provisions of the UIIA, which obligates the motor carrier only to return the equipment to the pick-up point. Motor Carrier Shuttles and Drayoffs Motor carriers with nearby terminals often make shuttle moves between marine and motor carrier terminals. These shuttle moves serve some of the following purposes: � The shuttle drivers are very savvy regarding marine terminal services and can complete the marine terminal processes more quickly than less experienced drivers. � A shuttle may buffer and extend the practical range of a long- or medium-haul operation. The over-the-road driver turns at the local terminal rather than at the marine terminal. � The shuttle service may be necessary if the motor carrier's other drivers do not have the proper credentials to enter the marine terminal (TWIC or Sea Link) or has a tractor that does not meet port emission standards. � Particularly for firms with company drivers, it may pay a motor carrier to use shuttle moves to fill a driver's work day. Shuttle or drayoff operations break what would have been single trip legs into two parts: a move between marine terminal and motor carrier terminal, and a second trip between the motor carrier terminal and the customer. The reverse takes place on the return trip. These practices add miles and time to the drayage move, but may be the most efficient way for the trucking company to handle business. A handoff is almost certainly preferable to sending a non-eligible or unfamil- iar driver and tractor into the marine terminal. It is likely that these practices will increase with the spread of TWIC, clean truck programs, RFID requirements, and other factors that distinguish port drayage as a specialized business. Increased complexity appears to be a necessary cost of achieving security and emissions goals. The upside of these practices is that more of the drayage business will be handled by knowledge- able, experienced, and specialized firms capable of increasingly efficient port drayage operations. Extra Trip Solutions Planning and Communications In site visits and from other contacts, the study team observed a high degree of operational planning at both marine terminals and drayage firms. Those plans, however, are neither coordi- nated nor shared. Communications are essentially one-way marine terminal Web sites and announcements. Some marine terminal operators use booking and vessel manifest information to gauge likely gate volumes and labor requirements for the next day, but most confine that plan- ning effort to labor that handles the CY and the vessel.
OCR for page 80
Extra Drayage Trips 81 Drayage firms around the country have repeatedly expressed a desire for stable, predictable, and coordinated operating practices among the marine terminals at a port. These include � The same gate hours and functions at all terminals, � The same identification and documentation requirements at all terminals, and � Consistent empty return instructions that do not change from day to day or on short notice. The main function of a marine terminal is to unload and load the vessels of its primary cus- tomer, the ocean carrier. All other terminal functions, including efficient handling of drayage requirements, are subordinated to vessel handling. This reality is reflected in the common practice of marine terminals to close off portions of the terminal to drayage drivers or restrict the drayage functions available while working a ship. These are practices that result in drayage dry runs and delays. Equipment control (i.e., management of containers and chassis) is an important marine ter- minal and ocean carrier function but apparently does not receive full attention in the presence of vessel handling requirements. A 2003 study4 of empty container logistics in Southern Califor- nia found that ocean carrier and marine terminal equipment control personnel waited until excess empties accumulated in the terminal before having them drayed to an off-terminal depot. It was confirmed that common terminal operating systems permitted proactive equipment con- trol by issuing alternative empty return instructions when the loaded container was released, but that feature was not being used. Experienced and well-organized drayage firms can attempt to optimize operations under almost any circumstances if those circumstances are reasonably stable and consistent. Inconsis- tent and unstable circumstances put up barriers to efficient dispatching and operations that ulti- mately cost drayage firms and their customers time and money. It would be unreasonable to expect joint planning between multiple marine terminals, mul- tiple ocean carriers, and hundreds of drayage firms. It would appear reasonable, however, for marine terminals to set empty return instructions proactively so that they could remain unchanged for a week or more. It also would be valuable for marine terminals to provide advance notice of any changes in gate hours, functional restrictions, or other changes that should be reflected in drayage dispatch plans. 4 The Tioga Group, Inc., Empty Ocean Container Logistics Study, Gateway Cities Council of Governments, Port of Long Beach, and Southern California Association of Governments, May 2002.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
With a win, Packers get Saints not Favre
Glendale, Ariz. - Unless the Philadelphia Eagles pull off a miraculous comeback against the Dallas Cowboys, the Green Bay Packers will face the top-seeded New Orleans Saints in the Superdome in an NFC divisional playoff game if the Packers beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
That means Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings will have to wait. An Eagles victory would have set up that showdown.
The Packers would have a short turnaround -- from the last wild-card game to the first divisional game. Packers would face the Saints at 3:30 p.m. central time on Saturday.
Packers traveled to New Orleans for an important Monday night matchup last season on Nov. 24 and got wiped out by the Saints, 51-29.
Aaron Rodgers had one of his worst games as a starter -- 23 of 41 (56.1%) for 248 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. His 59.8 rating remains the third-lowest of his starting career -- behind both games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I do the same with gloves although mine are medical grade vinyl type. I do so for two reasons. One is protection of my skin for I do have a sensitive skin. Second is to avoid my contaminated hand from staining/contaminating new paper in box/safe. Although I wash my hands before handling unexposed paper, I'm afraid trace amount or drop on my hand may contaminate it. Now, I just remove my gloves, quick rinse and dry, and I'm ready for the second print.
As to OP's question....
For anything 11x14 and larger and FB, I have problem with getting all surface of paper contacting developer at the same time. This is especially true with FB because they curl toward the emulsion side. I always have some part that refuses to get "wet". To avoid this, I put the paper emulsion side down, slosh, slosh, GENTLY push with my palm, until the paper become saturated then flip it over. Then keep rocking the tray slowly and gently. I dev 2 minutes from the point I flip it over. Usually 2.5 to 3 minutes total. Longer if dealing with warm tone paper. It is REALLY easy for paper to float up and not get enough developer, so I keep watchful eye over it during the whole time.
To dry, I spread bath towel and put my washed and squeegeed prints face UP. Works for me.

Bengals Hoping To Avoid Blackout

Through seven weeks and 107 total games, the NFL has had no local blackouts. The Bengals could be the first team with a local blackout on Sunday, when they host the Jets.
The Bengals announced earlier this week that 2,000 non-premium tickets remained for the game between AFC postseason contenders. It's unknown how many tickets have been sold since then.
The Bengals have until 4:00 p.m. ET on Thursday to get the tickets sold.

In my code, I have a
vector <vector <vector <vector <std::tr1::shared_ptr<foo> > > > > named
foosBoxes. The nested vector has a role of simulating a physical boxes position. I also have a while loop which cause a segmentation fault:
vector<std::tr1::shared_ptr<foo> >::iterator fooit = foosBoxes[x][y][z].begin(); //x,y,z are valid integer
std::tr1::shared_ptr<foo> aFoo;
while (fooit != foosBoxes[x][y][z].end()){
aFoo = *fooit; //this cause segmentation fault
//some stuff which does not have an effect on fooit;
Some thing I have tried:
1. I have tried to use
aFoo = *fooit++ but this didn't work.
2. The segmentation fault occurs roughly after several thousandths loops which went on fine.
3. I have tried to valgrind the problem and valgrind went through the step.
4. In the loop that crashes, I have printed a running counter before and after the suspected line. when before the line, I get 8 printings (the size of the vector) and when after I get 7 printings.
How can I figure this out?
I have added a loop to run before the main loop:
int kkk = 1214
int c = 0;
while (c < foosBoxes[x][y][z].end()){
aFoo = foosBoxes[x][y][z][c++];
printf("%i\t, kkk);
Which yields the same results.
according to gdb:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x000000000043e400 in rotate (kkk=1214) at /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/tr1/boost_shared_ptr.h:153 153 dispose();
I think that the appropriate function in boost_shared_ptr.h is
release() // nothrow
if (__gnu_cxx::__exchange_and_add(&_M_use_count, -1) == 1)
dispose(); //this is line 153
#ifdef __GTHREADS
if (__gnu_cxx::__exchange_and_add(&_M_weak_count, -1) == 1)
dispose() is defined elsewhere in the file:
// dispose() is called when _M_use_count drops to zero, to release
// the resources managed by *this.
virtual void
dispose() = 0; // nothrow
Could it be that the reason is ill management of shared_ptr and I should switch back to regular pointer?
yet another test with similar result:
int kkk = 1214 int c = fooBoxes[x][y][z].size(); while (c >= 0){ aFoo = foosBoxes[x][y][z][c--]; printf("%i\t, kkk); fflush(stdout); }
This time the program crush in the third iteration. Should the problem was with wrong allocation, then the program should have crush in the first iteration (in the opposite direction the program crashes in the first iteration).

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 4/6/13
Chris Sheridan with the scoop. In the latest installment of "Catch a Rising Star," Boston Celtics president Dany Ainge traveled to Greece to get a first-hand look at Giannis Adetokunbo, the 6-foot-10 point guard who is moving up draft boards by leaps and bounds. Aingle was in the house — and got heckled by Lakers fans — as Adetokunbo scored 19 points and grabbed 9 rebounds and two steals in the championship round of the Greek A2 league. Ainge also saw the CSKA-Panathinaikos Euroleague game, an qs quoted by Greek media as comparing Adetokundo as reminding him of a young Scottie Pippen. A taller version of Scottie Pippen? That works for me. I've always been disappointed in the Celtics lack of solid foreign drafting. Let's compare the C's to the Spurs. The Celtics passed on Tony Parker, so they could draft Joe Forte. They passed on Manu Ginobili, so they could draft Kris Clack. And they passed on Tiago Splitter (and even worse Marc Gasol) so they could draft Gabe Pruitt. Unless you'r...

There comes a time where you realize that, big-time game developers aren't the only ones who can make a ground-breaking game. Sure, this is a mod, but there's enough new content that it feels like a new game all on it's own.
The zero-point energy cubes were amazing, and Mr. Whirly was a bunch of fun. This is a must-play mod for anyone into games like Portal.

Terry Collins has 17 pitchers to choose from and it only seemed like he used every one of them Saturday night, when he trotted eight different pitchers out to the mound in a game where the Brewers batted eight times. Some of this was unavoidable, as Jenrry Mejia did not record an out in the fourth inning. But some of it was more of Collins' platoon advantage masturbation, which was unnecessary as always and as hurtful as we've become used to here in 2012. Collins now has three lefty relievers at his disposal, which must be the equivalent of giving a junkie a bag of smack. To be fair, the junkie will go through that smack as quick as he is able while Collins only used two of his three lefties out of the pen last night. But the results were about the same. I have no doubt that Collins got a quick high while chasing the platoon advantage but when it was all said and done, the high didn't last and the final results were regrettable. Both Justin Hampson and Robert Carson were pu...
