They are just kids.
They know only love.
Their world is a ball- soccer, tennis, basketball.
Naftali is 16 and American.
In the U.S. people sit in a park, with candles, waiting for him.
Kids need to play.
We are their parents.
Let them come home.
Let us feed them. They need warm clothes.
They have to finish school, sleep on time.
Eyal is 19.
Gilad is 16.
They want to explore, help, heal.
Their chairs are empty tonight.
Their younger brothers and sisters are crying.
Can you hear their cries? Can you feel our tears?
We want to see them marry, to see their children.
Let them come home.
Burn my flag.
Deny me the land.
Fight for Jerusalem.
But let my children come home.
I want to hug them good night.

Recorded Future strips from web pages the people, places and activities they mention. The company examines when and where these events happened ("spatial and temporal analysis") and the tone of the document ("sentiment analysis"). Then it applies some artificial-intelligence algorithms to tease out connections between the players. Recorded Future maintains an index with more than 100 million events, hosted on Amazon.com servers. The analysis, however, is on the living web.
"We're right there as it happens," Ahlberg told Danger Room as he clicked through a demonstration. "We can assemble actual real-time dossiers on people."
Recorded Future certainly has the potential to spot events and trends early. Take the case of Hezbollah's long-range missiles. On March 21, Israeli President Shimon Peres leveled the allegation that the terror group had Scud-like weapons. Scouring Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's past statements, Recorded Future found corroborating evidence from a month prior that appeared to back up Peres' accusations.
That's one of several hypothetical cases Recorded Future runs in its blog devoted to intelligence analysis. But it's safe to assume that the company already has at least one spy agency's attention. In-Q-Tel doesn't make investments in firms without an "end customer" ready to test out that company's products.
Both Google Ventures and In-Q-Tel made their investments in 2009, shortly after the company was founded. The exact amounts weren't disclosed, but were under $10 million each. Google's investment came to light earlier this year online. In-Q-Tel, which often announces its new holdings in press releases, quietly uploaded a brief mention of its investment a few weeks ago.
Both In-Q-Tel and Google Ventures have seats on Recorded Future's board. Ahlberg says those board members have been "very helpful," providing business and technology advice, as well as introducing him to potential customers. Both organizations, it's safe to say, will profit handsomely if Recorded Future is ever sold or taken public. Ahlberg's last company, the corporate intelligence firm Spotfire, was acquired in 2007 for $195 million in cash.
Google Ventures did not return requests to comment for this article. In-Q-Tel Chief of Staff Lisbeth Poulos e-mailed a one-line statement: "We are pleased that Recorded Future is now part of IQT's portfolio of innovative startup companies who support the mission of the U.S. Intelligence Community."
Just because Google and In-Q-Tel have both invested in Recorded Future doesn't mean Google is suddenly in bed with the government. Of course, to Google's critics — including conservative legal groups, and Republican congressmen — the Obama Administration and the Mountain View, California, company slipped between the sheets a long time ago.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt hosted a town hall at company headquarters in the early days of Obama's presidential campaign. Senior White House officials like economic chief Larry Summers give speeches at the New America Foundation, the left-of-center think tank chaired by Schmidt. Former Google public policy chief Andrew McLaughlin is now the White House's deputy CTO, and was publicly (if mildly) reprimanded by the administration for continuing to hash out issues with his former colleagues.

UK retailers have begun offering free copies of Forza Motorsport 5 to those who preorder a Xbox One Day One Edition.
At Gamescom 2013, Microsoft announced that those who preordered an Xbox One Day One Edition in Europe would receive a free download code for EA's FIFA 14 when the console launches, but Amazon UK, ShopTo, and Game are now all offering customers the option to purchase a SKU with the latest iteration of Turn 10's racing franchise bundled instead.
While the Xbox One Day One Edition was previously sold out at most retailers, Microsoft corporate vice president Yusuf Mehdi said earlier today that the company had found a way to create additional units. "Because of the great progress that we've made by moving to full production and because of the demand we've seen, we've found a way to create a few more Day One SKUs."
The Day One Edition of the Xbox One is only available via preorder, and contains a commemorative controller and an exclusive Achievement.
Microsoft is yet to confirm if its latest promotional offer will be made outside of the UK.
The $499/£429 Xbox One will launch in 13 territories, including the US and the UK, on November 22.

One of many offseason riddles the Jets have to answer is how to handle star cornerback Darrelle Revis. Revis, who is coming off ACL surgery and has one year left on his contract, has said he has wanted to be a Jet for life, but recent rumors suggest the possibility of Revis being traded before the 2013 season begins. Chris Nimbley and I debate if dealing Revis is the right move for the franchise.1. What do you think the handling of the Darrelle Revis situation says about the direction of the franchise? Chris: If the Jets hold onto Revis, but...

The Senate subcommittee charged with funding NASA, the Commerce and Justice Departments, and the National Science Foundation approved a $51.2 billion appropriations bill for those agencies, which will be taken up by the full Senate Appropriations Committee on June 5.
The Senate's topline numbers, released in a summary, match closely with the appropriations approved on the House side, but there are significant differences in funding for some tech-focused agencies. The House is seeking a slightly higher $51.5 billion appropriations package while the details of the Senate bill won't be released until the full committee approves it.
Both the House and Senate propose funding the Justice Department at about $26 billion and NASA at about $18 billion. The House is seeking $7.4 billion for NSF, while the Senate wants $7.2 billion. The House recommends $8.4 billion for Commerce, but a comparable number isn't available on the Senate side. Both chambers appear to favor funding in line with Obama administration requests for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's high-profile Joint Polar Satellite System and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series.
However, some key differences between the House's and Senate's bills can be read from the summary. House lawmakers want $856 million for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, while the Senate would provide $900 million. One sticking point is the House's desire to limit funding for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, a plan designed to come up with a new system for managing identities online.
The House would also like to trim the budget of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, which manages federal spectrum holdings and develops policy in a number of technology areas in partnership with private-sector stakeholders. The Obama administration has requested $51 million for the agency, while the House wants to see its budget cut to $36.7 million -- in part because of the agency's support for a plan to cede supervision of domain name functions, which it runs through the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, to a nongovernmental, global authority.
The Senate also plans to seek caps on costs for major acquisitions, including NOAA's weather satellites and NASA's space telescopes, and require that agencies notify appropriators when projects costs grow by more than 10 percent of their original budget, described in Senate documents as an "early warning system on cost overruns and techno-boondoggles."

Henderson man indicted for high school explosives threat
HENDERSON, Ky. - A Henderson man was indicted this week for allegedly making threats about setting off bombs at the high school.
Brenden C. Mathis, 20, 400 block of South Ingram Street, was indicted by a Henderson County grand jury on Tuesday for second-degree terroristic threatening.
Mathis was arrested in April after he was overheard at McDonald's at Washington and Green streets talking about wanting to set off explosives at the school to protect a younger sister who is apparently being bullied.
Authorities said Mathis was overheard by two high school girls sitting nearby.
One of the girls took a photo of Mathis with her cellphone and later reported the incident to the police, at which time she provided a copy of the photo, city police said.
While the police were beginning their investigation, the girl began her own investigation. At Henderson's annual Tri-Fest, the high school student showed the photo to a number of people until she was finally able to find someone who recognized the man. She then informed the police of the name of their suspect, according to officials.
Police said Mathis and his entire family were "more than cooperative" when contacted by law enforcement, and a search of the house failed to turn up either explosives, bomb components or instructions for making explosives.
Authorities said Mathis is protective of both of his sisters and that the sister who is apparently being bullied "has reported the incident several times … and the teachers and the faculty were not helping." School officials declined to comment.

I can have fun doing just about anything as long as the person I'm with makes me laugh and vice versa. I love to go bowling, shoot pool, 4 wheel, etc. i dont like limiting myself to certain things, because life is too short.

This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/920,546 filed Mar. 28, 2007; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Technical Field
The invention relates to a security device, and more particularly to an adjustable security device which wraps around and secures a box-like structure in a secure locked position. Even more particularly, the invention relates to such a cable wrap security device which includes a plurality of cables that wrap around the article to be protected and has an unique mechanism for locking the cable to the device after being placed around the article and for unlocking the cable from the device by a key and a mechanism which automatically retracts the cable onto a spool within the device.
2. Background Information
Retail stores have a difficult time protecting boxes containing various expensive merchandise, books and other similarly structured packages, or protecting such containers from being opened and the contents thereof being removed without authorization from store personnel or damaged while on display. Consumers often want to visually inspect the packaged expensive articles before deciding to purchase them. The store is faced with the problem of how to protect these expensive articles from theft while displaying them for sale.
One method used to protect these packages and the articles contained therein is to enclose the article within a transparent glass display case which can only be accessed by an authorized clerk. The consumer can view the article through the glass but is not able to handle the article or read any of the information about the article that may be printed on the box unless a store clerk removes the article from the case. However, in large retail stores, the problem then arises of getting the selected merchandise to the customer after the customer wishes to purchase the same without subjecting the merchandise to theft. One manner is to maintain a supply of the boxes containing the expensive articles or merchandise close at hand for delivery to or pick-up by the customer for subsequent taking to a check-out clerk. However this makes the boxes susceptible to theft and requires additional sales personnel.
Another method used by retail stores is to list the article in a catalog and require consumers to place an order from the catalog. The article is delivered from a back storage area and the consumer must simultaneously pick up and pay for the merchandise at the same location to prevent unauthorized removal from the store. The consumer does not get to inspect the article before purchasing and if they are not satisfied they must undergo the inconvenience of returning the article for a refund.
Boxes and box-like structures are also subjected to unauthorized openings while being shipped via a courier. These articles can be easily opened and resealed when packaged and taped-shut in the conventional manner without the recipient or the sender knowing of such unlawful actions. Shipped packages can be secured within a security container with a locking mechanism but these containers are expensive to purchase and add size and weight to the package making it more expensive to ship. Also, would-be thieves can gain unauthorized access to the contents of these containers by "picking" the locking mechanisms or possibly guessing the combination to a combination lock.
Some prior art locking devices have adequately solved this problem of securing packages or objects in a closed condition while being displayed in retail stores or shipped from one location to another. Some of these prior art security devices include a wire which wraps around an article and is secured by some type of locking mechanism. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,611,760, 4,418,551, 4,756,171, 4,896,517, 4,930,324, 5,156,028, 5,722,266, 5,794,464, 6,092,401 and 7,162,899.
Although many of these prior art cable wrap security devices have proven satisfactory, they may require a special tool to operate the latch mechanism, both for tightening the cable about the object to be protected and to retract the security cable into the device after the security device has been removed from the package. Also some require a mechanism to enable the internal spool on which the cable is wound to be free-wheeling in order for the cable to be pulled outwardly to a larger size for placement around another package.
Also, these prior art devices usually require that the cable be manually rewound onto the spool for storage once the security device has been removed from the package. This requires additional work on the retail personnel, and if the cables are not properly rewound will become tangled with other cables providing a storage problem and requires additional work for reuse and replacement on a package.
Therefore, the need exists for a cable wrap security device which includes a ratchet mechanism and locking member which does not require any special tool to tighten the cable about the package, and in which the lock mechanism locks the cable in position about the object when a clip attached to one end of the cable is inserted into the housing which nearly simultaneously locks the cable spool in a fixed position preventing further movement of the spool until it is manually wound to further tighten the cable about the object.
The security device of the present invention includes a plurality of wires or cables which are intended to encircle and lock all six sides of a box, package, book or other similar structure. The cable extends between a ratchet member which includes a gear with a plurality of teeth, one-way pawls which engage the teeth, a spool which stores the cable and is controlled by the ratchet member, a clip which is attached to a free end of the cable for locking the cable to the device, a locking mechanism which locks the cable clip to the device and secures the cable spool in a fixed position, and which includes and requires a special key to unlock the cable once secured about the object.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide such a security device which requires a special magnetic key to unlock an internal protected locking member to enable the cable to be removed from the protected article.
A further feature of the present invention is to provide the security device with an audible alarm which is actuated should the integrity of a sensing loop in the securing cable be jeopardized or compromised, and in which the security device may contain an EAS tag which actuates an alarm at a security gate should a potential thief attempt to leave the premise before removing the security device from the protected article.
A still further feature of the invention is to provide such a security device which includes a one-way ratchet which is released automatically upon unlocking a cable attachment clip from the lock mechanism by use of a special key.
Another feature of the invention is to provide such a security device in which the locking mechanism is opened by a magnetic release mechanism.
Still another aspect of the invention is to provide such a security device in which the ratchet mechanism is manually operated to tighten the cable about an article by a handle of the ratchet mechanism avoiding the need for a special key to rotate the ratchet mechanism and tighten the cable about the protected article.
Another feature is to bias the cable storage spool by an internal spring in the winding direction so that upon release of the spool and cable attachment clip from the unlocking mechanism, the spool automatically rewinds the cable back onto the spool avoiding exposed dangling cables. This places the security device in a compact condition ready for subsequent use and eliminates exposed cables which can become tangled with other objects, and which avoids the need to manually wind the cable back onto the spool after the cables have been removed from an article.
A further object of the invention is to enable the lock mechanism to be moved from locked to an unlocked position by the unlocking key after placement of the key in a pair of apertures formed in the security device housing or in the locking clip.
Another feature is that the security device has only two cables or cable sections which are attached to the spool and extend from the housing which provides a more conveniently operated mechanism and enables an increased windup tension to be applied to the cable.
Still another aspect of the invention is the spring biased spool which automatically winds up slack in the cable after the cable is placed around the article, after which the cable is tightened manually to a first desired tension.
A further feature is the mounting of the audible alarm adjacent the bottom wall of the housing which is placed adjacent the secured article preventing access thereto by a thief; and in which a slight space is provided between the bottom wall and article to enhance the sound transmission of the audible alarm.
Another aspect of the invention is providing a spool release button which when depressed automatically winds the cable onto the spool enabling a clerk to easily control the movement of the cable.
A still further feature is to provide both flanges of the spool with peripheral teeth engaged by a release lever to enable the spool to withstand greater tension being applied to the cables without failure.
Another feature is to provide the cable attachment clip with means that control a switch on the electronic circuitry of the internal alarm system to deactivate the audible alarm upon removal of the clip from the main housing of the security device.
These features are obtained by the security device of the present invention, the general nature of which may be stated as comprising a housing; a cable for placement about the object; a spool rotatably mounted in the housing and operatively attached to a first end of the cable; a clip attached to a second end of the cable for insertion into the housing to secure the cable about the object; a lock mechanism for locking the clip to the housing; a ratchet mechanism operatively engageable with the spool to maintain the cable tightened about the object; a key for unlocking the clip from the housing; and a retraction mechanism for automatically rotating the spool in the cable takeup direction to wind the cable onto the spool.
A preferred embodiment of the invention, illustrated of the best mode in which Applicant contemplates applying the principles, is set forth in the following description and is shown in the drawings and is particularly and distinctly pointed out and set forth in the appended claims.
Similar numbers refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
The security device of the present invention is indicated generally at 1, and is shown in
Cable 7 is stored on spool 8 which is trapped within and rotatably contained within spool compartment 11 formed by oval shaped side wall 10 and curved wall 57, and retained therein by top plate 15. A winder post 21 (
The ratchet mechanism includes a locking disc indicated generally at 35 (
A pair of rectangular-shaped key-receiving recesses 53 are formed in rectangular end 45 of the locking disc 35, the purpose of which is discussed further below. Locking disc 35 is attached to inside surface 46 of housing cover plate 15 by three curved projections 48 formed on cover plate 15 which snap fit engage the interior periphery of circular opening 37 of the locking disc (
Housing top cover plate 15 (
The unique locking mechanism of the present invention includes a pivotally mounted lock arm indicated generally at 69 (
As shown in
The alarm system provided by printed circuit board 87 and alarm 85 may implement different types of EAS tags 90 such as acoustio-magnetic (AM), electro-magnetic (EM) and radio frequency (RF) within the concept of the invention. Furthermore, an electrical sense loop will be provided by cables 7 so that should one of the cables be cut or separated from the security device, the alarm system will actuate audible piezo alarm 85. Also, EAS tag 90 is intended to actuate an audible alarm or other signaling device at a security gate should a thief attempt to remove the protected article with the security device attached thereto in an unauthorized manner through the exit protected security gate. The alarm system and components thereof are well known in the security art and thus are not described in further detail.
When in the assembled position, spool 8 is rotatably mounted within housing 5 on winder post 21 and cable 7 is stored thereon with two of the cables extending outwardly through holes 36 (
The manner of operation of the improved cable wrap security device of the present invention is best shown in
The clerk then will rotate disc spool 8 in the tensioning direction by manual rotation of tensioning member 29 by grasping and turning cross member 30. Usually only a slight turn of member 30 will be sufficient to further tighten the cable about the package by retracting the cable into the security device and about spool 8. When in this secured position, the internal alarm and sense loop provided through cable 7 will prevent unauthorized severing of the cable and prevent the unauthorized removal of the protected package through the security gate because of the presence of EAS tag 90.
To remove security device 1 from package 3, a clerk will place key 66 against key positioning ledge 63 and place projections 65 through elongated slot 61 and into recesses 53 of locking disc 35 which will align a pair of internal magnets 103 with each of the locking tines 49. See
The reverse of these steps occur when clip 19 is reinserted into housing body 9 through arcuate opening 83 as shown by Arrow B,
Thus, the locking device of the present invention provides for a cable wrap security device which is easily placed in a secured locked position about a package by pulling the cables out of their retracted position within the device overcoming the biasing force exerted by clock spring 23. The locking device automatically becomes locked by insertion of clip 19 into housing 5, as well as automatically actuating the ratchet mechanism preventing rotation of the spool and consequently the attached cable in a payout or unwind direction. Furthermore, slight manual rotation of the exposed end of tensioning member 29 will further retract the cable by winding spool 8 in a further cable takeup direction until the desired tension is achieved on the cable about the package to prevent its removal from about the package until the device is unlocked by a special key, such as magnetic key 66. Also due to the alarm system and the sense loop provided through the cables, together with the EAS tag secured and concealed within the security device, tampering of security device 1 is prevented by the use of audible alarm 85, as well as the use of the EAS tag to prevent removal of the entire package and attached device through a secured exit.
It is readily understood that some type of pressure switch, magnetic switch, etc. (now shown) will be incorporated into security device 1 and the alarm circuitry of the printed circuit board to deactivate the alarm upon lawful opening of the lock mechanism and removal of clip 19 from body 9 to prevent the alarm from sounding.
It is readily understood that other types of security keys could be utilized instead of magnetically attracting locking tines if desired, without affecting the concept of the invention. Also, various types of manually actuated winding devices and spring mechanisms could be utilized than the particular clock spring 23 and tensioning member 29 as shown and described above.
A modified security device of the present invention is indicated generally at 110, and is shown particularly in
A cable 133 which could be a single loop or a pair of cables is connected to spool 117 with the other cable ends being connected to an attachment clip indicated generally at 135. Cable 133 is stored on spool 117 which is rotatably mounted within spool compartment 116 on a post 139 extending upwardly from a circular plate 137 (
A plurality of notches 144 may be formed in wall 147 for securing cable 133 to the spool. A plurality of gear teeth 149 preferably are formed on the outer periphery of both spool flanges 145 and 146 and form part of a ratchet mechanism for controlling the rotational movement of spool 117 within spool compartment 116. Coil spring 143 is seated within a cylindrical spring holder 151 (
A ratchet mechanism which engages spool teeth 149 to prevent movement of the spool in the unwinding direction includes a spring biased spool locking lever 162 (
In accordance with one of the features of the invention, a release button 169 (
A locking mechanism indicated generally at 185, is mounted at the attachment clip entrance end 186 of housing 113. Entrance end 186 is formed with a slotted opening 187 formed by an outwardly extending rectangular frame 188 (
Modified security device 110 includes piezo alarm 85 which is located within lock compartment 118, and is operatively engaged with printed circuit board 87 powered by battery 199 (
A cable crossover pad 205 (
The manner of operation of the modified security device 110 is best shown in
Even though spool 117 is biased in the windup direction by spring 143, it is prevented from retracting the cable by locking lever projections 166 engaging spool teeth 149. The clerk then positions the cable about the package and then depresses button 169, as shown by Arrow F in
To unlock the locked mechanism, magnetic key 66 (
In accordance with another feature of the invention, upon the upward movement of plungers 190 and shuttle 189 by the attraction toward magnets 103, shuttle 189 will engage and depress a switch 210 mounted on printed circuit board 87 (
After attachment clip 135 has been removed from the housing 113 back to the position of
As with security device 1 described above, the alarm system provides the desired security preventing cable 133 from being severed without sounding the internal alarm and enables the cable to be tightened about the product to the desired tension by easily manually rotating flip-up handle 129. It is readily understood that crossover pad 205 may or may not be used with modified security device 110 and it may or may not include portions of the alarm circuitry or contain an EAS tag therein as discussed above.
When in the fully locked position as shown in
Furthermore, the elongated, somewhat oblong shape of housing 113 as shown in
Another advantage of security device 110 is that piezo alarm 85 is located closely adjacent bottom housing member 115 as shown in
It is also possible in accordance with the present invention, to form attachment clip 135 as two separate clips, each of which is attached to one of a pair of cables and individually inserted through end openings in the housing and locked by a locking mechanism similar to that described above. This enables at least one of the cables to be inserted through a small opening of a product being protected thereby which would provide protection to that product without requiring the product being a box or a similar parallelepiped configuration. Likewise, it is understood that attachment clip 135 can be inserted through openings in a product before being latched to housing 113 providing a security device having an alarm which could secure the product to a support structure or the like.
Another advantage of security device 110 is that upon a large force being exerted on cable 133, the cable can be pulled away from ferrules 175 (
Again, the attachment of only two cable loops or cable sections to the attachment clip which is detached from the housing when in the unlocked position, enables the cables to be retracted into the housing until needed, eliminating exposed cables susceptible to tangling as occurs in prior art cable wrap security devices. Likewise, the retraction spring mechanism enables cable slack to be easily taken up after placing the cable about an object prior to manually tightening the cable, and after the cable has been removed from a protected object.
The term "lock" or "locked" as used in this description means that a key of some type is required to change the state from locked to unlocked to distinguish from the term "latched" to describe a connection between two elements where a key is not required to undo the elements.
In the foregoing description, certain terms have been used for brevity, clearness, and understanding. No unnecessary limitations are to be implied therefrom beyond the requirement of the prior art because such terms are used for descriptive purposes and are intended to be broadly construed.
Moreover, the description and illustration of the invention is an example and the invention is not limited to the exact details shown or described.

Visiting Scholars
- Introduction
- Application Information
- Application Forms
- During Affiliation
- Research Assistance Grants
- Visiting Scholar Activities — Discovering the Bay Area
- Current Visiting Scholars
- Former Visiting Scholars
CKS visiting scholars are self-supporting, either by their personal funds or through financial support by their home institutions or other grants. Affiliation as a visiting scholar requires payment of several fees to CKS and various other University departments (for details see Application Information).
The Center provides library privileges, shared computer facilities with Korean language software and internet connections, modest research assistance, administrative support, and meeting space. Office space is shared with approximately 3 to 5 scholars per room.
The main contact for questions about visiting scholar applications is Dianne-Enpa Cho (email@example.com). Please do not contact her until you have read this entire website, which explains the process in detail. Please also note that the entire application process may take as long as four months to complete.
2015-2016 Applications
The visiting scholar program has reached capacity for the 2015-2016 academic year. We can no longer accept applicants for the 2015-2016 academic year. You may apply for fall 2016. Please apply as early as possible since spaces fill up quickly. The final application deadline for fall 2016 is March 31, 2016. If our program has reached capacity before that date, we will note this on our website.
*Important Update*: Due to limited space and high demand, the university no longer offers family housing to visiting scholars. Housing in the San Francisco Bay Area takes considerable time and resources to acquire, and CKS is not responsible for visiting scholars' housing search. Please take this into consideration when applying to the visiting scholar program.
Resources for Visiting Scholars
A complete explanation of the CKS visiting scholar application process is available on this website under Application Information. If you need further information about visiting scholar programs at UC Berkeley, you may consult two websites for up-to-date information. These websites are:
- Visiting Scholar and Postdoc Affairs (VSPA). The website contains complete information on the VSPA program.
- Berkeley International Office. This website contains information on such matters as the issuing of visa documents, immigration advising as well as advising services in other areas, including cultural adjustment, financial needs, work permission, family matters, general advising, liaising with other campus offices, and navigating our large university and the community around us. In particular, see the section on J-1 Exchange Visitors.
Research Affiliation
The CKS accepts applications under the following categories:
Most CKS visiting scholars have a Ph.D. conferred more than five years ago and hold a teaching position at a university in Korea. We also accept journalists, researchers from government or private institutes, and (in limited cases) government officials.
The period of affiliation is usually one year. Extensions of up to one additional year will be made on a case by case basis. To request an extension, please do so by submitting a one page description to email@example.com (in English) on the current status of your research and a justification for why the extra time is needed. The fees for extending can be found under the fees section on this site. Please note that extensions on housing agreements, whether university housing or private housing, is not automatically guaranteed, and therefore scholars should secure housing before making the decision to accept an extension, if an extension is granted.
Visiting scholars are expected to remain in residence during their entire affiliation period and take part in CKS colloquia, conferences, and other events.
Funding Requirements and Family Members
The rules for funding and bringing family members with you are set by the U.S. government. CKS and UC Berkeley have no control over this policy.
The US government requires that you show that you have $1,600 per month available for yourself, plus $500 per month if you are accompanied by your spouse, plus $200 per month per accompanying child. (For example, if you are bringing a spouse and two children, you would need at least $2,500 per month, or $30,000 per year.) See Application Information for more details about proof of funding.
Visiting scholars receive a J-1 visa and their dependents receive J-2 visas. The only family members who can receive J-2 visas as your dependents are your spouse and children under 21 years of age. Any other family members who wish to come with you must get their own visas (such as tourism or student visas), and CKS unfortunately cannot help you with this process.
Required Health Insurance
All domestic and international scholars are required to show proof of medical coverage that meets specified minimum levels of coverage.
As of September 1, 2013, the minimum level requirements are:
- $500,000 per person, per accident/illness in medical coverage
- An annual deductible of no more than $250
- Coinsurance that does not exceed 25%

The beginning to the Houston Texans season has been perfect in the win-loss department, but not perfect overall. They're a team that is finally gaining national recognition as a legit Super Bowl contender and in many cases, the best team in the NFL through four weeks. But as anybody can tell you, it's not about where you are as a team in September and early October, but rather how well you're playing come December and January. So let's take a look back at the good and bad of the first quarter of the Texans season and what they need to improve upon as they progress through the rest of the regular season. The Good When talking about the Texans, you have to start with the defense. Through four games, the unit is ranked third in total defense across the league and has been largely dominant. DE J.J. Watt has been the standout star, currently leading the NFL in sacks with 7.5 and earning himself the nickname "J.J. Swatt" for his repeated efforts batting down passes at the line of scrimma...

Important and Rare Matte Proof 1928 Hawaiian Commemorative1928 50C Hawaiian Matte PR63 NGC. The 150th anniversary of Captain James Cook's discovery of the Hawaiian Islands was marked by the production of the 1928 Hawaiian commemorative half dollar. Juliette May Fraser sketched the designs for the coin, using a bust of Captain Cook on the obverse and a Hawaiian chief on the reverse. Chester Beach engraved the dies. In addition to 9,958 business strikes, the Philadelphia Mint also delivered 50 sandblast, or coarse grained matte proof 1928 Hawaiian half dollars, in 1928. These coins were forwarded to the Cook Sesquicentennial Commission, the agency that organized the commemorative celebrations in Hawaii. The commission distributed these coins, along with special cover letters, to persons or institutions that were either instrumental in the history of the Hawaiian Islands, or who gave freely of their time and/or money to help make the sesquicentennial festivities a success. This is an important and rare coin that should fetch a considerable sum at auction. The surfaces display a somewhat granular, steel-gray appearance, and there are no mentionable distractions on either side of this sharply defined specimen.(#9310) (Registry values: N1300) (PCGS# 9310)

Ok, we've got tall bottles, short bottles, curved bottles, glass bottles, Ana, how did you make sense of it?
It was overwhelming.
It can be. With such a myriad of colors, shapes and sizes of bottles and nipples on the market –arriving at the right choice can be confusing.
We'll help you sort through the selections – and learn proper use and care – step by step.
When it comes to bottles – most babies are pretty adaptable. Still it's wise to sample a few to see what suits your baby best.
In general, clear, four-ounce bottles are the most practical for newborns – they hold roughly the right amount for first feedings.
Six-to-eight ounce bottles are okay if you fill them just halfway in the early months.
Angled bottles – with disposable bags, flow control or vents – may reduce the amount of air infants swallow. But so will regular bottles held at the proper slant.
Due to health concerns, top baby bottle manufacturers have stopped using the chemical bisphenol-A –or BPA—in the making of their products.
While research continues on the extent of the health hazard BPA poses, you can minimize exposure by, throwing away older or scratched baby bottles that may contain BPA,
using BPA free bottles or glass bottles, and never using boiling liquids in plastics that might contain BPA, as it increases exposure.
Now, on to bottle nipples. There are dozens of designs, shapes and sizes – available with one, two or three holes – or sometimes with cross cut openings.
While all that may seem a little dizzying, what matters most is how the milk flows – usually best on the slow side for newborns.
So it really helps if you look at the age, or even the flow on the nipple to help you choose which is best for your baby.
You'll need to experiment a bit to see which nipple size and type works best at what age – and be sure to replace nipples that show signs of wear and tear.
Remember, always wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling any nipple or preparing any bottle.
Warm your baby's bottle the old fashioned way-- in a saucepan of warm water – or by using one of the many electric and battery-operated systems on the market.
Never microwave bottles because of dangerous, uneven heating that might scald baby's mouth. Whatever method you use – it's still best to check the temperature before feeding.
If there's milk still in the bottle after the feeding – it's all right to keep it handy in case baby wants more—but only for an hour – no more.
After that, discard the remaining portion to avoid the spread of bacteria. Never reuse.
Conventional wisdom on cleaning bottles and nipples still applies. Before first use, all supplies should be sterilized in boiling water for about five minutes.
Then get into the habit of washing bottles and nipples in hot, sudsy water immediately after a feeding so milk doesn't stick to hard to clean surfaces.
Special brushes will help scour all the nooks and crannies, while dishwasher-safe baskets keep nipples, rims and caps in place and drying racks organize all the odds and ends until next use.
Of course, then it's time to start all over. In the beginning, baby needs a bottle every two to three hours or so.
You'll have the system down to a science before you know it – step by step. For WebMD, I'm Dr. Kimberly Manning.

Here, we present an efficient method for movie denoising that does not require any motion estimation. The method is based on the well-known fact that averaging several realizations of a random variable reduces the variance. For each pixel to be denoised, we look for close similar samples along the level surface passing through it. With these similar samples, we estimate the denoised pixel. The method to find close similar samples is done via warping lines in spatiotemporal neighborhoods. For that end, we present an algorithm based on a method for epipolar line matching in stereo pairs which has per-line complexity O(N) , where is the number of columns in the image. In this way, when applied to the image sequence, our algorithm is computationally efficient, having a complexity of the order of the total number of pixels. Furthermore, we show that the presented method is unsupervised and is adapted to denoise image sequences with an additive white noise while respecting the visual details on the movie frames. We have also experimented with other types of noise with satisfactory results.

Dateline, Miami FL.... MIAMI MAN MAKES RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM CONVENTIONAL WISDOM! Undercover Edition revealed today that Ryan T. broke with tradition and wrote something interesting in his profile! Ryan claims, "Gone are the days of I'm a fun, easy going guy, who likes sports, long walks on the beach... blah blah blah blah" Women all over the country have been responding to his new and unique approach of actually being interesting! "Oh My God! It was the first profile I've seen that didn't mention how the guy loves puppies, is as comfortable in a pair of jeans as he is in a tux, or that didn't have a cheesy (this is me without a shirt) picture! This Guy Rocks, I'm moving to Miami!" ....Sandy A, Tampa Florida Undercover Edition has learned that Ryan can be spotted around South Beach catching some rays on Saturday afternoons, at Mr Moes sipping on a Cabin Fever or dining at small out of the way bistros. He is often spotted at the UM Medical Campus Wellness Center in the afternoons entering the gym. Other sources have also told us that he has recently been attending the Salsa Craze events at UM on Wednesdays. Rumor has it Ryan was seen last at the Colony Theatre on Lincoln rd attending the performance by the latest comedy duo Key and Peele as part of the South Beach Comedy Festival. One paparazzi recently snagged a photo of Ryan sipping a Johnny Walker and listening to the live music at the Irish Pub in Brickell. He was also rumored to have been hanging out at The Bar and Talavera in Coral Gables on St Patricks Day having a cilantro margarita. Some say he has dedicated his time volunteering at certain Emergency Departments in Boca Raton and Delray Beach and has been seen helping out a health clinic in Jupiter. One unnamed source told Undercover Edition "He actually has ties to the biomedical research world and seems to spend a great deal of time investigating recent advancements in medical technology for wound treatments. I'm not really sure what he does but we know for sure he doesn't work for a pharmaceutical company." When we Googled his name, we were shocked over the results, and there seems to be quite a controversy! Man of Mystery, Researcher, Cook, Algebra Tutor, Explorer or just plain Enigma? We may never know for sure! One thing is certain, whenever he is spotted, he and the people around him always seem to be having a good time! He has been known to go underground and drop out of sight for long periods of time, especially just after meeting the right woman!

Gallery: Mercedes Unveils All-Electric AMG E-cell Supercar!
Mercedes has just released the first images of their prototype Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell electric supercar. Not only it is propelled by an array of battery powered motors — it also has DeLorean-style (gull-wing) doors, a redesigned front suspension, and paint job specially named Lumilectric Mango. Check out our gallery for a detailed look at the interior with an all-new instrument cluster that makes the Prius dash look like DOS basic.

Digital Switching Systems: Switching Realibility and Analysis
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Learn how to analyze digital switching systems and quickly assess switch hardware and software reliability! The reliability of digital switching systems is a major factor in the continued expansion of the Internet--and a key competitive differentiator in the deregulated telecommunications market. How do you upgrade the reliability of your digital switching system and improve the level of service that you deliver to your customers? You can start by mastering the digital switching system analysis tools, techniques, and methodology described in this unique book. Written by a Bellcore telecommunications expert with over 27 years of experience, this comprehensive and generously illustrated book is the first ever to bring digital switching system design, hardware and software reliability, and maintenance under one cover. It provides telecommunications design engineers, service providers, and reliability and software engineers everything needed to understand and analyze digital switches: full coverage of all digital switching system fundamentals and architectural issues; advanced markov models and the use of sensitivity analysis to help assess digital switching system reliability; state-of-the-art analysis of telephony traffic signal transfer points (STPs); detailed description of digital switching system software and quality analysis techniques; digital switching system maintenance, and analysis of networked switching systems. In addition, the book develops a generic digital switching system model that enables even the most inexperienced telecommunications engineers to quickly comprehend the basic architecture and functionality of digital switching systems. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Syed R. Ali is currently a Senior Engineer in the Integration and Implementation organization at Bellcore (Piscataway, NJ), and has over 27 years' experience in telephone engineering and digital switching system analysis. He received a BSEE from East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology, Khaka, in 1967; an MSEE degree from Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1971; and an advanced degree of DE in Electrical Engineering from New Jersey Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1971; and an advanced degree of DE in Electrical Engineering from New Jersey Instiitute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey, in 1982. At Bellcore he pioneered the methodologies for analyzing root causes for switching system downtimes. He is the author of many Bellcore's generic requirements in functional areas such as software metrics (IPQM), switching system testing, software patching, firmware and Object Oriented Process Metrics (OOPM). Dr. Ali is a frequent speaker at many telecommunications conferences and the author of numerous papers on telecommunications system reliability and maintainability. The author is a past chairman of the IEEE Communications Society and co-founder and chairman of IEEE Computer Society, New York Section. He is a senior member of IEEE as well as a member of ACM and the national honor society for Electrical Engineers Eta Kappa Nu.
Book News Annotation:
Opaque to Internet end users--until they encounter problems with their service--is the issue of the reliability of digital switching systems. For telecommunications design engineers, service providers, and software engineers familiar with the basics of telephony, Ali (senior engineer, Bell Communications Research; Piscataway, NJ) tours switching system fundamentals (including the architecture of networked systems), system software and quality analysis tools (e.g. sensitivity analysis), reliability modeling techniques (e.g. advanced Markov models), and maintenance (firmware and software). Also discusses the major DSSs in the North American network, and his own generic model in the context of up-and-coming trends.
