Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. And, while in the rain give it to God and let him lead the way. Let's Dance... And remember, life is short: Break the rules,forgive quickly,kiss slowly,love truly,laugh uncontrollably,and never regret anything that made you smile!! I enjoy camping,fishing, reading books, movies, bowling, and dining out. I enjoy watching baseball, football and basketball I love taking weekend trips, especially to the mountains. Communication is important in a relationship and you must be willing to talk about you and what your dreams and goals are in life. I enjoy kissing, holding hands, and showing affection for one another. My favorite thing to do, after a day of hard work, is to get on the sofa and enjoy a good movie or fireplace together with the person thats in my life. I'm not here for one night stands, I'm not here to find Ms. right now, I'm here to find the one that can catch my eye, but hold my heart, and I want to do the same for her I'm not here because I need a woman in my life, it's more like that we want to be in each other's lives.... Relationships can only work when both are equal and willing. Have you ever looked into someone's eyes and could feel the passion deep within their soul So much so that it gave you goose bumps You and your actions affect at least one person each day. It's your choice how.

Jeff Key has a handy tip on removing the /// comments for the default C# project templates in VS 2003. While I don't like the comments, my pet peeve is that ASP.NET uses "Grid" layout by default. For your sanity, below are the directions for how to "go with the flow".
Changing ASP.NET Pages from grid layout to flow layout
 <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server"> </form>
Voila! You're done!
Removing Body positioning on a per-project basis
If you don't want to mess with the template documents, or you like Grid layout (I'll withold judgement of you, really) for certain applications, you can change the behavior for new files on a per project basis in Visual Studio by right clicking on the project name (Ex: "WebApplication1)" in Solution Explorer, and select "Properties". This brings up the project properties window, under Common Properties>>Designer Defaults>>Page Layout change "Grid" to "Flow".

Kansas Regents OK Higher Education Budget Request
Associated Press - September 19, 2013 7:00 pm
A monthly survey of bankers suggests the economy will remain weak in rural parts of 10 Midwestern and Western states because of low grain and oil prices.
The Kansas Board of Regents has asked the governor to restore tens of millions of dollars in higher education spending that was cut this spring.
Regents Chairman Fred Logan says that although the budget has been approved for the next fiscal year, the board had a responsibility to advocate for increased investment in the state system.
The biggest amount would be more than $35 million that was cut from the six state universities' budgets over the next two years. The cuts were made in across-the-board spending, as well as salary reductions on the campuses.
The request was adopted by a voice vote by the regents, sending it to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback for consideration.
Legislators are touring the campuses in October to assess the schools' needs.

Just days after McCain and Lieberman left Ramadi, I went to a police recruiting center and watched as hundreds of young Sunni males were being processed to become cops. Interestingly, the detailed screening of each volunteer was being conducted by police officers from Pittsburg, New York, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and a half-dozen other American cities. Those who passed the background check, medical and literacy tests and physical exam -- about 70 percent -- were then dispatched to Jordan for a six-week training course.
These new police recruits had all responded to the call of Sheikh Abdel Sattar Baziya. He is Al Anbar's most powerful Sunni tribal leader and the instigator of what he calls "The Awakening" -- self-determination through Sunni cooperation with local U.S. military commanders and the Shia-led government in Baghdad. In conversations with Sheikh Sattar at his home, and later at Camp Phoenix, where Iraqi police receive tactical and human-rights training, this populist Sunni chieftain made it clear that this is a war that the Iraqi people must win for themselves. Sheikh Sattar's analysis of the situation is shared by Al Anbar's Sunni governor, Maamoun Sami Rashid al-Awani. Though a Baghdad appointee, Gov. Maamoun, who I have now interviewed on three separate trips to Iraq, is convinced that more U.S. combat power is not the answer. He too wants more U.S. trainers and civil affairs personnel. On more than one occasion Gov. Maamoun, Sheikh Sattar and every military commander with whom I spoke, described the Police Training Teams (PTTs), Military Transition Teams (MTTs) and Civil Affairs Groups (CAGs) as unsung heroes and the keys to victory in Iraq. All of them are advocates for more trainers, improved supply support from the central government and assurances that the Interior Ministry implement responsive administrative and pay systems for the police. One U.S. logistics expert complained that he was receiving no assistance whatsoever from our embassy in helping the Iraqis overcome the belief that "a full shelf is a good shelf." None suggested more U.S. combat troops as a solution. And they all wonder if anyone in Baghdad or Washington is listening. A "surge" or "targeted increase in U.S. troop strength" or whatever the politicians want to call dispatching more combat troops to Iraq isn't the answer. Adding more trainers and helping the Iraqis to help themselves, is. Sending more U.S. combat troops is simply sending more targets. Oliver North is the host of "War Stories" on the FOX News Channel.

Keep it flowing.
After countless trips and innumerable field cleanings, your MSR Hyperflow is pumping a little slow. Pop in a Hyperflow Microfilter Cartridge Replacement and get fresh, fast water purification on your next backcountry excursion. This filter cartridge lasts for up to 1,000 liters of pumping depending on water conditions, and can be cleaned in the field to keep your filter flowing strong.

MSR Hyperflow Microfilter Cartridge Replacement
? Share a...
I have had a horrible experience with my HyperFlow.
Bought it. Used it twice, remembering to backflush it every 4-8 liters. Flow became horribly slow. Purchased a new filter had the same experience, but this time I got maybe a gallon before the flow slowed. Backflushing did no good. The water was clear. Called MSR and they sent me a new filter. Same experience.
I do not trust the MSR HyperFlow and would not recommend it at all.
Works great
Filter is a direct replacement for my Hyperflow. Full service is restored. I was familiar with the backflow flushing technique, so replacing the filter was very easy. 2 minutes for those who have not done it before.

PrepXtra football defensive teams
First Team
Braylon Young
Alcoa, defensive line
5-11, 250, junior
Young turned out to be one of the most disruptive and feared defensive linemen in the area. He made 85 tackles from his defensive tackle spot and produced 11 tackles for loss, 20 quarterback pressures and three sacks.
Zach Stewart
Coalfield, defensive line
6-4, 265, sophomore
Stewart, the PrepXtra Sophomore of the Year, solidified a stalwart defensive line for Coalfield, which made the Class 1A state semifinals. Stewart, also a standout offensive lineman who blocked for a 2,000-yard rusher, made 117 tackles, 23 tackles for loss and 14 sacks as a defensive end.
Shar'ron Moore
Powell, defensive line
5-11, 225, senior
Moore ignited a great Powell defensive unit with his play up front. He made 95 tackles — 27 of which were for loss. He also rang up 12 sacks, 11 quarterback hurries and two pass deflections.
Hayden Freels
Rockwood, defensive line
6-4, 220, senior
Freels might play in Class 2A, but his play on the varsity level has been big enough to garner scholarship offers to Tennessee Tech and Austin Peay. Freels made 70 tackles for Rockwood this past fall with 12 tackles for loss and 10 sacks.
Dean Taylor
Fulton, defensive line
6-2, 215, senior
Taylor turned out to be a terror to opposing offenses. When challenged, Taylor made the stops more times than not. He finished with 51 tackles, 12 tackles for loss for minus-60 yards, 6.5 sacks, three quarterback hurries, four pass breakups and an interception.
Dexter Robbins
Sevier County, linebacker
6-1, 220, senior
A relentless defender, Robbins earned District 2-AAA Defensive Player of the Year after making 145 tackles with 20 tackles for loss this past fall. He also contributed three sacks, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, an interception and a pass breakup.
Zach Stuart
West, linebacker
6-2, 195, senior
Stuart's versatility allowed him to play at linebacker and on the defensive line. This season he registered 73 tackles, eight sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception. He has committed to Lamar University.
Elliott Normand
Oak Ridge, linebacker
6-0, 205, senior
A three-time All-District 3-AAA performer, Normand compiled a stellar senior season worth of statistics: 121 tackles (91 solos), 12 tackles for loss, an interception, two caused fumbles and a fumble return for a touchdown.
Devin Scott
Powell, linebacker
6-0, 200, senior
Scott led the Powell defense in solo tackles (56), assisted tackles (75) and was second in tackles for loss (19 for minus-56 yards). Scott had three quarterback hurries, four pass breakups, two interceptions and a blocked kick.
Cody Underwood
West, linebacker
6-1, 225, junior
Underwood led West in tackles in 2011, and he did so again this past fall. He posted 139 tackles in just 12 games to go along with nine tackles for loss, three sacks, four forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries.
Todd Kelly Jr.
Webb School, defensive back
6-0, 190, junior
Kelly, the 2012 PrepXtra Defensive Player of the Year, was also tabbed Division II-A Mr. Football Back this past season. While he scored 31 touchdowns and averaged 11.3 yards per carry, Kelly's defensive prowess produced 72 tackles, seven pass breakups and three interceptions while leading Webb (12-1) to a state championship.
Mustafa Anthony
Alcoa, defensive back
5-9, 175, senior
Anthony made 56 tackles his senior season and broke up eight passes. He made plays on both sides of the ball this season for the Tornadoes but he excels on defense, where his timing and closing ability makes completions difficult.
Brian Coulter
Maryville, defensive back
6-0, 170, senior
Coulter had a team-high eight tackles for Maryville in the Class 6A championship game against Whitehaven, giving him 86 tackles on the season. He picked off two passes for the Rebels and was a punishing tackler.
Landon Turbyfill
Alcoa, defensive back
5-11, 185, senior
The District 4-AA Defensive Player of the Year wound up with 68 tackles, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble, five pass breakups and an interception. He helped Alcoa complete four shutouts, win District 4-AA and reach the 3A quarterfinals.
Jonathan Strozyk
Powell, defensive back
6-0, 175, senior
The school's all-time interceptions leader picked off seven passes this past season, while making 53 tackles and blocking three kicks. He broke up 13 passes and also forced two fumbles.
Xavier Hawkins
Fulton, athlete
5-11, 173, junior
Hawkins proved himself to be a valuable asset no matter where coach Rob Black placed him on the field. But on defense, Hawkins rang up 38 tackles, broke up eight passes, four interceptions, two tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.
Nolan Coulter
Catholic, athlete
5-10, 190, senior
Though he rushed for 1,528 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior, Coulter found enough stamina and strength to make quite an impact on defense as well. The strong safety made 58 tackles, five tackles for loss, a sack, three pass breakups and two interceptions.
Jonathan King
Farragut, punter
6-1, 170, senior
Tennessee's Mr. Football Kicker averaged 46.9 yards per punt as a senior. Only five of his 35 punts were returned, and he had 11 punts downed inside the 20. His longest punt sailed 69 yards. Ruy Guy's ProKicker.com named King its National Player of the Year among kickers and punters.

Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $72K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $92K. Experienced professionals — those with 10 to 20 years in the field — see salaries in the six-figure territory, securing around $105K on average. Software Release Managers who have stuck around for more than two decades see earnings that are only slightly higher than those of folks who have worked for 10 to 20 years; the more senior group makes around $109K on average.

Robert J. Samuelson: On climate change, we have no solution
It would be healthy — in the sense of promoting honesty — if every report warning of global warming and climate change came with the following disclaimer:
Despite our belief that global warming poses catastrophic threats to many of the world's 7 billion inhabitants, we acknowledge that we now lack the technologies to stop it. The purpose of our analysis and policy proposals is to create the political and economic conditions that foster the needed technologies. But there is no assurance that this will happen, and much time and money may be invested in futile and wasteful efforts.
I am not optimistic. Our climate-change debates confuse more than they clarify. They follow a ritualistic script that is now playing out again.
First came a downbeat report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an international group of scientists set up by the United Nations. It found that global temperatures have warmed for decades, that man-made emissions are the main cause (atmospheric concentrations are said to be the highest in 800,000 years) and that the effects include rising sea levels, melting ice packs and more heat waves.
Next arrived the U.S. National Climate Assessment, a study by 300 American experts that's more alarming than the IPCC report. It begins: "Climate change, once considered an issue for a distant future, has moved firmly into the present." Americans already suffer from global warming. Floods are more frequent; wildfires are harder to control; rainstorms are more violent.
Naturally, climate skeptics (aka, "deniers") denounced the reports. The evidence was exaggerated, cherry-picked or both, said Paul Knappenberger and Patrick Michaels of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. Consider, they said, a contrasting study headed by a Harvard researcher. It found that heat-related deaths in 105 U.S. cities had declined since the late 1980s.
The rhetorical ping-pong — claim vs. counterclaim — suggests a struggle for public opinion. Not really. Right or wrong, the public already believes in global warming. A 2013 Pew poll found that 67 percent of Americans see "solid evidence" that the earth is warming. Though that's down from 77 percent in 2006, the margin is still large.
It's useful for environmental groups to have global warming "deniers" (and, of course, behind them the sinister oil companies) as foils. The subliminal message is that once the views of these Neanderthals are swept away, we can adopt sensible policies to "do something" about global warming.
The reality is otherwise. The central truth for public policy is: We have no solution.
From 2010 to 2040, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects global emissions will increase almost 50 percent. About 80 percent of global energy comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), which are also the major sources of carbon dioxide emissions. At present, we have no practical replacement for this energy. No sane government will sacrifice its economy today — by dramatically curtailing fossil fuel use — for the uncertain benefits of less global warming sometime in the foggy future. (The focus of the U.S. global warming report on the present seems aimed at bridging this gap.)

The way their closers were struggling, Cubs manager Dale Sveum and the Brewers' Ron Roenicke could probably feel each other's pain. Both cut the cord this week. In Chicago, that meant Carlos Marmol was out as closer. In Milwaukee, it was John Axford getting, well, axed. And on Wednesday, everyone was getting a breather. The game between the Cubs and Brewers was postponed due to inclement weather, with the makeup scheduled for July 30 as part of a day-night doubleheader. Scott Feldman, scheduled to start for the Cubs, will pitch Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. With the Brewers off Thursday, Kyle Lohse got pushed back two days and will start against his former team when the Brewers open a weekend series at St. Louis on Friday. The postponement came on the heels of the Cubs beating Milwaukee 6-3 Tuesday on a night when the game-time temperature was 39 degrees and a steady wind blew through Wrigley Field. The conditions were no better Wednesday, so the game got called ...

Remember Me
Although Mazzy Star was nominally a full band, they were basically the core duo of guitarist David Roback and singer Hope Sandoval with backing musicians. Roback boasts a long history in the paisley underground, with the Rain Parade and Opal. He came across Sandoval after hearing a tape she had made as part of a folky duo, Going Home. (The Going Home album that Roback subsequently produced remains unissued.) Sandoval ended up replacing Kendra Smith on Opal's final tours. After Opal dissolved, Roback and Sandoval continued to work together as Mazzy Star, and released their first album for Rough Trade, She Hangs Brightly, in 1990.
Rough Trade's U.S. branch went under shortly afterwards, but luckily Mazzy Star were picked up by Capitol, who kept the debut in print and issued their follow-up, 1993's So Tonight That I Might See. There isn't much to differentiate the two albums, though that's not necessarily a criticism. Both share similar strengths and weaknesses: appealingly dreamy and atmospheric arrangements, rambling distorted guitar workouts, and lyrics that mix the haunting and the meaninglessly vague. Tonight That I Might See had been around for about a year before it suddenly got hot, reaching the Top 40, and spinning off a small hit single, "Fade Into You." Even in the wake of this surprise success, Roback and Sandoval remained as enigmatic and aloof as their music, rarely submitting to interviews, and offering mysterious, unhelpful replies when journalists did manage to talk with them.

Zipper Pocket
Overall rating based on 71 reviews
carol skilling – Verified Buyer
I love these pockets!! They are lightweight and can be used for many things.
1. Use one for accessories for your sewing machine. I you put an opposing velcro strip on the side of your sewing machine table, they are very handy to go into while you are sewing!
2. Use it as a small purse when you travel, for your passport and credit cards. You can tuck it into your larger purse and it's easy to spot because of its bright color. Also can be used as a toiletries bag.
3. It's too pretty to hide, but it's a great place to stow away your glove box items.
4. It's great to hold cards and small games and a Kindle when you travel.
Thank you very much!

I like the zippered bag. It would be nice to be able to use it on either side of the bag. It would also be nice to have a small pocket on the outside of the bag (not attached like this one but built in) for small items (phone, keys).

Great color choices, super functional Velcro really helps keep it exactly were you want it in your bag.

It is proposed to copy protect data files for transmission by incorporating DSV data patterns, that is, data patterns which are difficult to encode without causing DSV problems, in the data files. The data in five audio streams and two video streams is placed, by way of encoders (10) and a multiplexer (12) into a stream of blocks of encoded data in the MPEG file format (14). In this format, blocks of video data V are arranged alternately with blocks of audio data A and padding stream blocks P. DSV data patterns (16) are incorporated into the MPEG file (14) by way of an encoder (18) to produce the copy protected data file (15). The DSV data patterns (16) are incorporated into locations within the MPEG file which have no data content such as padding stream blocks P and/or into unused audio data blocks A. The DSV data patterns incorporated within the data blocks fed either to a monitor or to a reproduction system will not interfere with the reproduction such that unfettered access is provided to the transmitted information. However, a CD or DVD writer will generally be caused to write a disc which, when read, will result in a reader returning corrupted data or information signalling a read error. Thus, the data in the MPEG file 14 has been copy protected.
1. A method of copy protecting data files for the transmission of information content, where the information content has been encoded into a data file comprising a stream of blocks and having a format suitable for transmission, the method comprising:
incorporating into the data file DSV data patterns, the DSV data patterns being chosen and located such that the data file cannot be accurately written to an optical disc such that it can be reliably read back, wherein the DSV data patterns are in selected blocks of the data file which do not include the information content, the selected blocks each being a block designated as an audio block but which does not include audio information content.

The present invention relates to a method of copy protecting data files for the transmission of information and to a data file to be used in the transmission of information.
Increasingly it is required to make information, such as films, music videos, games and other multimedia presentations, available electronically. For example, such information content may be transmitted by way of the internet, by broadcast TV, or by cable for display on the screen of a computer or by a television set. Thus, it may be required to make a film available electronically to a user on the payment of an appropriate fee.
However, recordable CDs and CD writers for writing to such recordable discs are readily available to the domestic consumer and recordable DVDs and DVD writers are expected to become as readily available in the short term. There is therefore the risk that when information content of the type described is made available in electronic form, for example, by way of the internet, the consumer may be enabled not only to use the content as intended but also to make copies thereof onto appropriate optical discs.
There is therefore a need to control the use to which the transmitted information can be put.
The present invention seeks to provide a method of copy protecting data files for the transmission of information.
Throughout the specification and claims, the term "DSV data patterns" means data patterns which are likely to be difficult to encode without the encoded data causing DSV problems.
Thus, when "DSV data patterns" are encoded and written to an optical disc, for example, by a writer, a reader or player of encoded data incorporating the DSV data patterns will experience DSV problems.
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of copy protecting data files for the transmission of information, where the information has been encoded into a data file having a format suitable for transmission, the method comprising incorporating into the data file DSV data patterns as hereinbefore defined, the DSV data patterns being chosen and located such that the data file cannot be accurately written to an optical disc.
The applicants have found that the inherent limitations of currently available CD and DVD writers can be used in copy protection techniques. Thus, and as described in their earlier application No. WO 02/11136, the applicants have found that it is possible to provide DSV data patterns which, because of their size and/or nature, cannot be accurately written onto a disc by a writer for recordable discs such that the disc remains reliably readable. However, the much more sophisticated encoders used in mastering houses, for example, the encoder which controls a laser beam recorder, can be controlled to accurately write the DSV data patterns to the glass master.
The encoder associated with a laser beam recorder has a relatively large amount of memory and processing power at its disposal. Specifically, the encoder uses sophisticated algorithms to analyse the information, including the DSV data patterns, which is to be encoded and written to the disc. The purpose of these algorithms is to ensure that this information is encoded onto the glass master in a manner which ensures that the information on the discs produced using this glass master can be read correctly by all CD and DVD readers. For a CD, the encoder chooses the merge bits which are interspersed in the encoded data as part of the encoding process and the chosen merge bit pattern ensures the readability of the replica discs made from the glass master. Similarly, for a DVD, the encoder chooses the sequence of channel bits to ensure readability. These sophisticated encoders can compromise the readability of one area of disc slightly, to ensure the readability of another area of disc, the overall effect being to ensure that the whole disc has a uniformly high readability.
By contrast, commercially available CD and DVD writers are limited in the processing power and memory which can be brought to bear on the problem of encoding the data. Specifically, the encoder built into a writing device contains simpler encoding algorithms because complicated algorithms require more processing power, more memory and they are more expensive to design, write and debug which reduces the profit margin on the writer. These simpler encoding algorithms may not make the ideal choices for merge bits or the sequence of channel bits even when the better choices are readily available. If one area of disc is easy to encode so as to ensure high readability and the following region is difficult to encode and would have a low readability, the simple encoders in writers do not have the foresight to trade-off the readability of one area with another and the result is that the easily encoded region is encoded well and the region which is difficult to encode is encoded badly and when the disc is read, errors are found in this latter region.
In the applicants' earlier application No. WO 02/11136, an authenticating signature is applied to an optical disc, the signature having been chosen to utilise the inherent limitations of currently available disc writers and to provide DSV problems.
In their copending application No. 0304015.1, filed on 21 Feb. 2003, the applicants describe and claim the provision of DSV data patterns in an application file to be carried on an optical disc, such that these DSV data patterns work with the inherent limitations of optical disc writers to provide copy protection for the application carried on the optical disc.
With embodiments of the present application, DSV data patterns are incorporated into data files for transmission. Where these data files are received, for example, at a user computer or by a player of the transmitted data, they can be accessed and used without difficulty. However, if the user writes the received data files to an optical disc the resultant copy will have readability problems such that it will be difficult to play or use the information recorded on the optical disc.
There may be circumstances where, for example, it is required to transmit the data file, which incorporates the DSV data patterns, to a mastering house so that the data file can be applied to a glass master. However, the encoder associated with the laser beam recorder should be able to write the data file to the glass master in a manner to ensure readability. Alternatively, and if required, a special encoder could be used to write the data file to disc. In either case, the resulting optical discs will, in their turn, be copy protected by the incorporated DSV data patterns.
In an embodiment, the data file comprises a stream of blocks of encoded data, and the method further comprises incorporating the DSV data patterns into one or more selected blocks in the stream which do not have information content.
Preferably, the DSV data patterns are only incorporated into part of the or each selected block.
The data file format may be, for example, MPEG, Windows compressed media files, AVI files or any other file format for encoding and compressing video.
Preferably, the DSV data patterns are chosen to cause DSV problems for optical disc writers.
For example, the DSV data patterns may be chosen to ensure that the DSV has a significant absolute value.
In an embodiment, the DSV data patterns are repeated patterns of values. These patterns of values may be randomly chosen.
The size of the DSV data patterns may be a predetermined amount.
It is generally thought that the effectiveness of the DSV data patterns is maximised where the DSV data patterns are arranged to produce a DSV which has a rapid rate of change.
In addition, it is preferred that the DSV data patterns are arranged to produce a DSV which has a substantial low frequency component.
As is well known, the information in the data file may comprise one or more of: audio data, numerical data, text data, video data, graphics data, program data, animation data and/or any other data.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a data file to be used in the transmission of information, the data file comprising a stream of blocks into which the information has been encoded, and wherein DSV data patterns as hereinbefore defined have been incorporated into one or more selected blocks in said stream of blocks.
In an embodiment, the DSV data patterns have only been incorporated into part of the or each selected block.
Preferably, the DSV data patterns have only been incorporated into selected blocks which are without information content.
The data file may have, for example, the format of MPEG, Windows compressed media files, AVI files or any other file format for encoding and compressing video.
Where the data file is in MPEG format and the stream of blocks comprises video data, audio data and padding stream blocks arranged alternately, the DSV data patterns are preferably incorporated in selected blocks without information content. For example, the DSV data patterns may be incorporated in padding stream blocks and/or in unused audio data blocks.
Preferably, said DSV data patterns have been chosen to cause DSV problems for optical disc writers.
In an embodiment, the DSV data patterns are chosen to ensure that the DSV has a significant absolute value.
The DSV data patterns may be repeated patterns of values.
The size of the DSV data patterns may be a predetermined amount.
It is preferred that the DSV data patterns are arranged to produce a DSV which has a rapid rate of change. It is currently thought that this is the most effective way to ensure reading problems for copy discs.
Preferably, the DSV data patterns are arranged to produce a DSV which has a substantial low frequency component.
The present invention also extends to an optical disc carrying a data file as defined above.
An optical disc of the invention may be a legitimate, copy protected optical disc, which has been produced using an encoder able to record and encode the DSV data patterns without providing readability problems on the resultant disc. Alternatively, an optical disc of the invention may be a copy disc produced by a CD or DVD writer.
The present invention also extends to a storage device containing a data file as defined above.
For example, the data file may be contained on the hard disc or in other memory of a user's computer or of a server.
Embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The copy protection technique of this invention relies upon the use of DSV data patterns as described, for example, in WO 02/11136. A brief description explaining DSV and how it is utilised now follows. This description begins specifically by reference to the encoding of a CD-ROM. However, it will be appreciated that the present invention is not limited to use with a CD-ROM and finds application to all data carrying optical discs. Specifically, the invention is applicable to all formats of CDs and to all formats of DVDs.
The data stream always consists of pits and lands of at least 3 bits and at most 11 bits long. This is sometimes referred to as a 3T-11T where T is a 1 bit period. A 3T pit has the highest signal frequency (720 khz) and an 11T pit has the lowest signal frequency (196 khz).
A data signal is derived from the lengths of the pits and lands. The produced signal forms a square wave known as an EFM signal. The digital sum value (DSV) is the running difference between the number of T values where the EFM represents a pit and the number of T values where the EFM represents a land. As each data bit is read, the DSV is incremented or decremented depending upon whether the data bit corresponds to a pit or a land.
Original data, in 8 bit bytes, is passed through a process called EFM encoding to produce the 14 bit symbols, often referred to as channel bits. The set of 14 bit symbols is especially designed:
to level out the number of pits and lands, to help maintain balanced DSV; and
to ensure that there are no symbols which break the EFM coding scheme of 3T-11T.
Another way of regarding the 3T-11T coding scheme is that the number of successive zeros must be greater than or equal to two and less than or equal to ten. It is immediately apparent that this requirement may be compromised where two 14 bit symbols follow one after the other. Accordingly, a set of 3 merge bits are added between each 14 bit symbol and the one following to ensure that there are no violations of the 3T-11T coding scheme and to ensure that a suitable DSV is maintained.
The merge bits contain no useful data and the algorithm used to generate their values can differ from drive to drive. Once read, the merge bits are discarded and the data contained in the 14 bit symbol is passed onto the next process.
The above describes the basic encoding scheme for a CD and will be known to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, further explanation thereof is not required.
As set out above, embodiments of this invention utilise the inherent limitations of currently available CD or DVD writers.
The encoding of a CD is subject to two rigorous conditions and one more vague requirement. The first strict rule is that the encoded data must decode without errors into the data which the provider of the content wanted on the disc.
The second strict rule is that the encoding must obey the run-length limiting rules so that no pits or lands are longer than 11T or shorter than 3T. The vague requirement is that the DSV characteristics of the disc should be as good as possible.
As set out above, DSV is a property of the encoded data. It is a running difference between the number of pit T states and the number of land T states. It is desirable that the DSV should not have high absolute values, should not change rapidly, and should not have low frequency components. This latter requirement means that the DSV should not oscillate in a regular fashion.
In order to maintain good DSV characteristics, the encoder often has a choice in the merge bits to insert between the symbols which carry the data. When encoding certain special patterns of data, the encoder has a very much reduced ability to choose merge bits because the run-length limiting rules place limitations on the merge bits which can precede or follow certain symbols. The encoder effectively loses much of its control of the DSV while this data is being encoded. It is critical that it chooses correctly in the few locations where it has a choice.
A sophisticated encoder, such as those which control laser beam recorders, may have the foresight, or can be designed, to choose a pattern of merge bits which is not optimal for the immediate locality where this area is followed by one in which the run length limiting rules dictate the merge bits. The result will be that the overall DSV for the two areas will have better properties. The ability to detect upcoming areas where the merge bit choices are limited is called "look-ahead". Encoders with a larger look-ahead will be able to make more preparations for encoding the troublesome data and hence the overall encoding will be better. CD writers typically have very little ability to look ahead and hence when they lose control of the DSV, it is more likely to result in an unreadable disc.
The applicants have identified a number of symbol values which are capable of causing DSV problems because of their EFM pattern at the pits and lands level. When the patterns for these values are processed through the EFM decoder of a CD drive, the DSV accumulates or decrements and this can result in read failures. Of course, and as indicated above, the encoding process for a CD is designed to prevent values capable of causing DSV problems occurring in the EFM pattern as well as providing robust error correction.
As will also be well known, DVDs are subject to encoding known as EFMPlus. In this scheme the 8 bit data words are encoded into 16 bit channel bits and state machines are used to choose the 16 bit symbols. As this choice can be made so that the coding scheme is not compromised, a flexibility given by the increased number of bits in each symbol, merge bits are not required.
On decoding, the information that was present in the 8 bit data words is recreated but the encoding scheme is lost.
As set out above, this invention proposes that DSV data patterns, that is, data patterns which are difficult to encode without causing DSV problems, be incorporated in data files for transmission. The invention is described below and illustrated with specific reference to the incorporation of DSV data patterns into MPEG files. However, the invention is not limited to use with MPEG files and can be used with any file format for encoding digital information. Where the information is, for example, video and/or audio, the file format may be Windows compressed media files or AVI files.
As is shown in
As is illustrated in
Of course, there may be instances where it will be required to transmit the copy protected MPEG file 15 to, for example, a mastering house for its application to a glass master. Although the mastering process will then look the same as is illustrated in
Where the invention is to be used, as indicated in
It will be apparent that if an MPEG file, as 15, with incorporated DSV patterns, is encoded onto an optical disc, that disc will be copy protected. In this respect, the application of files incorporating DSV data patterns to optical discs to copy protect the information therein is described in the applicants' copending application No. 0304015.1, filed on 21 Feb. 2003. As noted in that copending application, the application of an MPEG file, for example, incorporating DSV data patterns provides copy protection for the information on the optical disc and is of particular relevance to the rental industry for CDs and DVDs.
It will be appreciated that variations in, and modifications to, the embodiments as described and illustrated may be made within the scope of the accompanying claims.

Sounds Like Batman vs. Superman Might Feature Wonder WomanGetty Images
Variety hears there's a new female lead in the mix for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel sequel, Ben Affleck vs. Superman. No, it's not an Amy Adams replacement (not necessarily, anyway), but rather a course correction for the fact that Wonder Woman has been missing from the screen since … well, since forever? Three actors reportedly testing for the role are Ukraine's Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace, Oblivion), Israel's Gal Gadot (Fast & Furious 6), and France's Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation). "Sources stress there's still a possibility this role could be Bruce Wayne's love interest, but the casting description of 'tall, brunette, athletic and exotic' also matches that of the Wonder Woman character in the comics," Variety writes, adding that Warner Bros. had no comment. Another site, Schmoes Know, also got a Kurylenko-as–Wonder Woman tip earlier in the week.
Wonder Woman's everyday persona is Diana Prince, a character who debuted on the page in 1942 and whose origin story generally includes the Amazon; she's tremendously overdue for a live-action franchise. With a Justice League movie finally starting to seem real after years of wheel-spinning, and with all the catching up DC has to do in the superhero posse flick department, it seems like a no-brainer that we'll start seeing some aggressive tie-in action. Variety has money on Flash making a Bat vs. Supes appearance, even if it's a cameo.
Meanwhile, Kevin Smith thinks there's some hard Batman vs. Superman info coming this weekend, when the director and comic-devourer will host an event commemorating Man of Steel's DVD/Blu-ray release. "So it's me, Zack Snyder, Amy Adams, Henry Cavill is on video from London or he may even be on set with us, and then there's some Michael Shannon stuff," Smith on his Hollywood Babble-On podcast. "So it's an hour long, it's free, it's on the Internet, but it's just kind of to be like, 'Hey, Man of Steel is coming out!' But there's two things, there might be announcements during this show and the one thing I do know is there's artwork going to be on this show that may or may not have something to do with a movie that's coming up." What if the announcement is just Snyder giving a PowerPoint presentation about why Affleck isn't that bad for Batman after all?
