NASHVILLE, TN - MAY 1: Jared Cook #89 and Gerald McRath #51 of the Tennessee Titans run blocking drills during the Tennessee Titans Minicamp on May 1, 2009 at Baptist Sports Park in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Joe Murphy/Getty Images)
Titans head coach Mike Munchak mentioned that re-signing TE Jared Cook will be one of their top priorities this offseason, per Terry McCormick. Cook underwent shoulder surgery after tearing his rotator cuff back in Week 13, which subsequently ended his season. Cook has plenty of potential to become a big-play threat for the Titans, but he has underachieved while in the team's offensive scheme. Cook graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 34 tight end this season and is listed as our No. 57 best available player in our Top Free Agent List: 51-100.

A local lady gave birth to triplets recently in my town - and they broke the record! Together, they weighed 20 lbs. They ended up coming naturally, at 37 weeks.
When they were born, Jenson weighed 5.5lbs, Elliott tipped the scales at 7.3lbs and Sidney came out on top at 7.8lbs.
I think I'm going to stop complaining about my little 2 lber now. LOL.

Poll shows Texans not optimistic about Iraq
Many say they expect terror attack in the next year
AUSTIN - Nearly 80 percent of Texans believe a terrorist attack in the United States is likely in the next year - a 15-point increase from February, according to the Scripps Howard Texas Poll.
Seventy-eight percent say an attack is very or somewhat likely, compared with just 19 percent who say an attack is not very or not at all likely.
"This is absolutely normal and traditional. The better a government is at preventing terrorism, the less credit they get for their success," said David McIntyre, director of the Integrative Center for Homeland Security at Texas A&M University. "The better you are at counter-terrorism, the less people think it is required. It's just a terrible dilemma."
Sixty percent of Texans rate the United States' war on terrorism as going poor or fair - the highest level of dissatisfaction since the question was first asked last year.
McIntyre said American leaders could learn from Israel and Singapore officials about the importance of public relations of dealing with terrorism.
"We have had a hard time communicating with the American public about what to expect," McIntyre said. He added that U.S. officials have the difficult job of explaining the need to spend money when a terrorist attack has not occurred recently.
"There are going to be long periods of inaction, and they may indicate some degree of success," he said.
While Texans are uneasy about the war on terrorism, they rate the war in Iraq even lower. Only 28 percent of Texans say the war in Iraq is going excellent or good, which is an 8-point drop from February and among the lowest rating ever. Seventy percent of Texans say the war in Iraq is going fair or poor for the United States.
Even so, 60 percent are very or somewhat confident the United States will win the war in Iraq. But fewer Texans - 50 percent - agree that the situation in Iraq was worth a war, compared with 45 percent who disagree.
"There's clearly an erosion of support over time for what we are doing," said Howard T. Prince, a West Point graduate and professor at the LBJ School of Public Policy at the University of Texas at Austin.
Echoing A&M's McIntyre, Prince said presidential-level communication has been the missing element.
"If they don't do that, the headlines of another suicide bomber will begin to make people wonder, 'What are we doing over there?' " Prince said.
In a democracy, Prince added, it is absolutely essential that an administration maintain support during wartime. Today's leaders could have looked back to Vietnam, a war that ended because it became too politically costly to keep fighting, Prince said.
With a war winnable or not, justified or not, 50 percent of Texans approve of the way President Bush is handling the war in Iraq and 46 percent disapprove. Texans' approval of Bush's handling of the Iraq war has fallen 28 points since May 2003.
"I think Bush could have done a much better job of explaining to the people why we are there," Prince said. "The administration has not done a good job, in my opinion, of keeping their war message in front of people."
The Summer 2005 Texas Poll was conducted by the Scripps Research Center. The Poll surveyed 1,000 adult Texans by telephone in a random sample of active telephone exchanges statewide. Margin of error for whole sample is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The economic hardship confronting the country is expected to further compound following the announcement of a 12.09% and 6.1% increase in electricity and water tariffs by the Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) yesterday. The tariffs increase, according to the PURC, takes effect from July 1, 2014.
The regulating agency, after deliberating on implementation of the 3rd quarter Automatic Adjustment Formula arrived at an adjustment figure of 31.56% for electricity and 14.30%. But the Director of Public Affairs at the PURC, Nana Yaa Gyantuah, in an interaction with journalists, said the Commission decided not to pass on the current increase but rather implement the second quarter tariffs which were deferred due to the economic situation of the country.
"The Commission is certainly aware of the current challenges consumers are facing with the provision of electricity and water and that is why the Commission has decided to implement a much lower percentage which is the previous tariff for the second quarter for year 2014", noted Chairman of the PURC, Dr. Emmanuel K. Anna, in a statement released in Accra. He added: "The Commission wishes to emphasise that a tariff increase at this moment is only meant to maintain the strength of the existing electricity and water tariffs which have been affected in value by the Ghana Cedi to the United States Dollar Exchange rate."
The Automatic Adjustment Formula is a Tariff Mechanism that tracks and incorporates movements in key determining uncontrollable factors to reflect the cost of electricity and water every quarter. The increment in the tariffs, the Commission argued, was underpinned by the following variables; Ghana Cedi against the US Dollar Exchange Rate; Inflation; Price of Crude Oil and Natural Gas; Fuel Mix (Light Crude Oil and Natural Gas and Distillate Fuel); Generation Mix (Hydro and Thermal) and Power Purchase Cost.
The others include; Demand Forecast (Currently 12% per annum and still rising); Chemical Cost (Water); and Electricity Cost (Water). According to the Commission, without a marginal tariff increase, the current load shedding situation could not be sustained and the "situation might worsen". It said it would keenly monitor the current electricity and water situation with a view to ensuring that within the current challenges, the interest of all consumers would be protected.
The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission has announced a 6.1 percent increase in water tariff and 12 percent in the tariff for electricity. The hike is expected to take effect from July 1, 2014. The utilities regulator is expected to officially announce the increment today. Director of Public Affairs at the PURC, Nana Yaa Gyantuah early on told Joy News' Evans Mensah on Wednesday afternoon that an initial 31 percent hike in electricity and 14 per cent hike in water had been agreed at management level but said the proposal had been forwarded to the Board of the Commission for approval.
She told Evans Mensah the Board members were meeting to consider the new proposal, adding the public must "expect an increase" irrespective of whatever the decision the Board will take. After the crunch meeting, the Board members insisted that the second quarter proposal- 6.1 per cent for water and 12 per cent for electricity- which was held in abeyance as a result of the continued load shedding crisis should rather take effect instead of the third quarter proposal brought by management.
It would be recalled that the PURC failed to adjust tariffs in the second quarter which coincided with a severe load shedding exercise. The commission therefore decided to suspend the increment then. Pondering over the proposed third quarter increment, the Board concluded that instead of imposing the increment it would rather implement the second quarter increases.

Falling shares in Europe and the U.S. are not expected to make a big difference to the Beirut bourse.
BEIRUT: Bank Audi announced over the weekend that it is raising its capital by LL64.95 billion ($43.1 million) to LL525.77 billion ($348.8 million), through the issuance of 50,000,000 common shares at a nominal value of LL1,299 ($0.86) per share.
The issue premium would equal about $5.14 per share, which is the difference between the $6 per share issue price and the U.S. dollar correspondence of the nominal value per share.
The capital increase includes pre-emptively offering 40 million shares to existing shareholders pro rata to the number of common shares held by each. The remaining 10 million shares are to be allocated to new investors or to existing shareholders.
The new shares will be listed on the Beirut Stock Exchange.
In parallel, subscribers to the new shares are entitled to receive three warrants per common share. The holders of such warrants have the right to purchase shares in Bank Audi's wholly owned Turkish subsidiary Odeabank at an exercise price of $0.95 per share within a 30-day period in the first half of 2019. The strike price attached to the warrant could be adjusted if the par or nominal value of Odeabank's shares change.
The warrants are detachable and tradable.
The bank's extraordinary general assembly approved the capital increase Aug. 26, 2014.
The BSE's total trading value amounted to $14 million this week, with Bank Audi's "listed" shares accounting for 45 percent of the total, as some investors aimed to buy the stock in order to benefit from the pre-emptive rights of the initial allocation of 40 million new common shares (record date Sept. 1, 2014).

Bray Hill casualties will make full recovery
By Adrian Darbyshire
Published on 10/06/2013 14:53
All victims of the Bray Hill TT crash are expected to make a full recovery, the surgeon who operated on them told a press conference.
Orthopaedic surgeon Ian Wright said that given the speed of the bike that crashed into the spectators, there could have been multiple injuries.
Of eight casualties admitted to Nobles Hospital after the accident in Fridays senior TT race, four had serious limb injuries and of those, three went into theatre that day and one the following day.
Three are in the process of being transferred to UK trauma centres for on-going specialist care while one is expected to be discharged in a few days.
Mr Wright told reporters that the casualties suffered open fractures to the shin bones as Jonathan Howarths machine struck them. It took out the lower half of their bodies, he said.
But he confirmed that no one has lost a limb. He said he expected all would make a full recovery in terms of walking and returning to work. He added, however: Whether they will be completely unimpaired it is too early to say.
Medical professionals gathered at the press conference said they were proud of how Nobles staff and paramedics had responded to a challenging situation and the emergency plan for dealing with multiple admissions had worked as it should.

Slub V-Neck Pocket Tee
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 378 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lize Perfect comfy t-shirt I love everything about this shirt and got it on sale. Sleeves, neckline, and shirt length are perfect for a comfy, boyfriend-style fit. I am always a small for shirts and felt that this was true to size. Highly recommend. June 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eryn15 Looooooooove this shirt!! I LOVE this shirt. I happened upon a website that recommended it to wear for travel because it is flattering and extremely comfortable, and they were right!! I purchased 1 to try and fell in love. The shirt does run a bit larger, so as some people have said, if you want it a little more fitted, go a size down. I am usually between a Medium-Large in shirts and I got the Medium and it fits really well, with some room to spare. The quality is wonderful, the fabric is super soft, and it's very flattering. I loved it so much I just bought 3 more! I will continue to stock up on these -- I cannot say enough great things. June 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by KimSOS Great shirt, goes on sales often - stock up when it does! I have this T in several colors now, and I love it. I've bought several of the Vintage V-neck Ts from JCrew and I find the 'V' to be too deep (or too wide?) for me (I'm 5'6' and wear a 30D-32C). This shirt, on the other hand, goes down just the right amount. I don't have to worry about my bra showing, yet its not so high its matronly. The fabric is also very nice. It has a relaxed, lived-in feel. The sizing may be a tad on the small side. I wear a small in the JCrew T and a medium in the Madewell T. I gave the value only 3 stars in consideration of the full price. At sale price I'd say the value is easily 5 stars. Truly a fav! June 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by jawz1 New favorite t Bought this on sale and it's now my favorite! Like the description says, size up for a slouchy fit and that's just what I did. Feels and fits great, there were limited colors left when I bought it on sale but def would've gotten it in more colors! June 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kpsmln Great Tee Love the color, very vibrant. Great fit and look... June 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by vivacekate Loose, easy tee This tee is everything I was hoping for. Loose, comfortable fit, but the fabric is light enough that it drapes well and looks flattering. I bought it in grey but will likely grab another couple of colours as well. So comfortable, so easy to wear. June 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by lwalk610 Best Vee Neck I have these in 5 colors now! Will be purchasing more. Great staple vee. June 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by suss Perfect Tee I have found the perfect tee...... I love a good tee in that i hate them tight, I hate it when the length is too short and i hate it when they are over priced. I found this tee quite by accident and glad i did because i have most all the colors so far. I am 110# 5'4" athletic small chest 32-27-36, and i have the XS this fits w/ a boyfriend kind of fit yet not sloppy fits well around the arms and shoulders and not snug through the body and fits my hips well too, love the length too I can't stand my tees short big pet peeve of mine, don't like seeing the crop style comming back fugly imo. Love these shirts and love the discounts madewell offers i buy multiples whenever one comes i can't belive. Highly recommended if you like a relaxed fit that isn't sloppy. June 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by jane29 Great t-shirt I own 4 of these in different colors and love them. They run big but that is part of why they are so comfortable. They are also very soft and don't have too deep of a v-neck. I own small and extra small and the small is baggie where as the extra small is perfect fit for a t-shirt. Order a size down. June 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by GreyWolfe Great summer tee! I ordered 2 tees in size large (5'7"-150lbs) and can't be happier. They are not too tight and not too baggy either. They drape slightly and are just right in my opinion. I have washed and dried both shirts several times and they have held up well, without fading in color and no shrinkage at all. I will be ordering more if the colors I'd like are still available. June 11, 2015

It's been a while since I played Live Chess as "Connection Interrupted. Reconnecting" spoiled all the fun playing 3-minute games. What I did not appreciate was it took a long time for a "reconnect". And what was really aggravating is that the time lapse between disconnect and reconnect was subtracted from my time and added to my opponent's. When several of this disconnects took place, I either lose on time a game I am winning or that the timer made me make moves so hastily thought of.
Today, for the first time in a long time, I played 3-minute blitz. Yes there there still was "Connection Interrupted" except now the time lapse between disconnect and connect was almost nil. I hope that it stays that way. For I was already thiking of going back to become a non-paying member when my membership expires. For I was not anymore enjoying paying 3-minute blitz.
Still waiting for "my games" on Explorer...
*this will be on my gravestone
Still waiting too... aargh ! Apparently system is set-up now but Is going to take time for '' migration of data '' from the old-database to the new one.
And the reason that will take so long is that it will include data we do not want - i.e. pissing-about-quick-chess.
yeah I don't want that stuff on my grave too.
Hey. I like the new design a lot, and the site in general is fantastic.
One feature that I'd like to see at some point is an "auto-decline rematch" account setting. Like, when someone challenges you to a rematch, a message comes up. It could be something polite, like "Thank you for what I'm sure was a good game, but this user doesn't accept rematches. Still, thanks for your consideration, and have a good day."
Here You are, Nick :
You mean it's working...?
Not properly, but via opponent´s Profile Page some players are Exploreable.
For some. I still have zilch as do you LA.
Another thing noticed is that '' member-flags '' have vanished from some areas of the site ? (for example team-member lists in VC)
Although these are user/changeable they are informative in lists & see no reason to remove them ?? (just adds further navigation-difficulty)
Yet another bug have noticed is whilst editing comments (group-forums) with mixed written/visual content the pages begin flipping around all over the place instead of staying where you are.
not working for you because you don't belong in there ! ?
Posssibly... Needing to simplify chess-activity :)
First and foremost - thanks for this great website! I mostly play on my iPhone and that app works really well. The latest version is really good, I don't have any problems with it.
As for the website itself, I didn't really use it a ton anyway other than to surf the forums. The one thing I am noticing since the update is that it seems wicked slow to load. I hate the pop-up ads in the lower left corner that cover what I'm trying to read.
Another disappointment was the abandoning of the classified section. It was always hard to find before and now it appears to be gone altogether. This is very sad. Part of the great community aspect of every website forum I visit is the ability for it's members to buy, sell, and trade with each other. This should be a rock-solid option right on the Forum page, in my opinion.
But it's a great site regardless and I'm thinking of becoming a premium member. But the loading speed times need to get better, not worse.
analysis board glitch---
when in illegal move mode if white knight on f1, white not castled and the white light bishop gone; if u castle w kg1, and undo it the f1 knight is a rook
On the accounts privacy page, the option where you can choose not to allow tournament invites doesn't seem to be working. I've had three invites in the last week!
Still seeing bugs in Vote-chess games. For instance in one game just started there is no '' Team-Comments ' button at all !
netzach, have you already chosen one team's side for that vote chess game? Before that, one will not be allowed to see any side's team comments, of course.
Repeating myself in this thread, as it seems active:
While some of the bugs are getting fixed, I'd like to remind chess.com staff that old IE versions still perform horribly - and my IT department will not allow installation of another browser (so don't give me the swithc-to-chrome crap. IE is still the most used browser; and any self respecting site should work with all of the top 5 browsers).
- the overview of tournaments doesn't seem to include a list of tourney's that you were eliminated from but that are still on-going (used to be very handy to check progress of people that beat you)
- It's hard, if not impossible to see the percentage of win/loose/draws of people; premium members cannot see detailed stats for other players anymore? That would be a pity, one of the things I'd like doing here (presuming I renew) would be to start a group based on studying draws. But an essential piece of info would be to see if prospective members would actually have some games to contribute... Also, IMO a high draw percentage also indicates some skill (to convert lost games into a draw by perpetual or repition, for example), in the 1600 to 1900 range perhaps even more so than the rating itself.
- an easy link to the chess.com email () is still absent. (Isee the previous thread I made on this list the topic as resolved, but it is NOT. In IE nor Chrome this link is showing under the home menu.
There's more bugs here than in "starship troopers!"

The present invention relates to a data processing method and, more particularly, to a data processing method facilitating adaptive data compression.
Digital data is typically used in a format that optimizes usability but often requires data files that are at least twice as large as actually needed to represent the information. Data compression is a general term for a number of algorithms and computer programs that have been developed to convert data to a format optimized for compactness. In some instances, data compression can reduce the quantity of data necessary to represent information by orders of magnitude. Reducing the quantity of data processed and stored by a data processing system is important because data transmission and storage are significant elements in the processing time and cost of data processing systems. In some applications, such as digital video transmission, the quantity of uncompressed data is so great that practical systems would be cost and performance prohibitive without substantial data compression.
Data compression methods are generally classified as lossy or lossless. Lossless compression methods exploit statistical redundancy related to similarities, correlation, and predictability of data. When a lossless compression method is applied to a data file, the data after decompression will be identical to that of the original file. Data consistency is required for many types of data such as executable program code, word processing files, or tabulations of numbers. On the other hand, other types data files, including data for images and other acquired signals, can often be approximated when decompressed without an appreciable loss. For example, a digital imaging device may capture textural detail that is unobservable a human viewer when included in a video frame. If the changes made to these signals resemble a small amount of noise, the resulting distortion of the signal may go unnoticed or, at least, be tolerable. Lossy compression techniques exploit subjective redundancy in the data to identify and discard redundant and perceptually irrelevant information from the data file. Lossy compression typically compresses data more efficiently than lossless compression methods.
Many data compression schemes utilize several data compression techniques in a single composite process. For example, the MPEG-2 (ISO/IEC 13818) video compression standard utilizes a number of processes to compress the data within a single image (intraframe compression), between frames (interframe compression), and within the resulting data stream. Transform coding utilizing the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is used to analyze and model the frequency of the signal representing blocks of pixels in the image. Transform coding is followed by quantization in which the transform coefficients are "rounded off" discarding part of the information necessary to perfectly reconstruct the original block of pixels. Temporal redundancy in the sequence of video images is exploited by predictive interframe coding. The displacement of the image content between a reference frame and a predicted frame is estimated and quantified. The reference frame image is then displaced according to the estimate and the image content difference between the predicted frame and a motion compensated version of the reference frame or residual content is determined. The quantity of data necessary to describe a sequence of frames is substantially reduced by reconstructing the predicted frame from a motion compensated version of the reference frame and the residual. In addition, the data stream containing the compressed intraframe and interframe data is typically compressed with a lossless method such as Huffman coding and run length encoding where repeating data is replaced with shorter coded sequences.
While lossy techniques generally provide greater compression efficiency, the resulting data distortion can, at times, be objectionable. For example, the loss of information during the quantization of transform coefficients can produce several compression artifacts in the decompressed image. These artifacts include the visibility of blocks used in the transformation process and noise along sharp edges in decompressed images. In addition, many compression techniques are more efficient when compressing certain types of data. For example, DCT transform coding is best suited to natural images with relatively gradual transitions between areas of relatively consistent color. On the other hand, many images comprise a composite of elements including textual, graphical, and natural elements. To reduce objectionable compression artifacts and improve compression efficiency, images are often pre-processed and post-processed. To improve the efficiency of the compression process, the image may be examined before compression and a "guess" made about the nature of the visual element to which a pixel or group of pixels belongs so that the image may be separated into components of different types and an appropriate process selected for each type of component. After the image is decompressed, its pixels may be examined to identify and smooth the color transitions between adjacent pixels. While image pre-processing and post-processing is useful in increasing compression efficiency and repairing compression artifacts, it is computationally expensive, time consuming, and subject to errors.
What is desired, therefore, is a data processing method that facilitates adaptable and computationally efficient data compression utilizing efficient methods.
Information is an expression of an interaction between tangible and intangible objects. Digital computers and other digital electronic devices utilize information that can have only certain, fixed values. A fixed value of digital information or data is expressed as an ordered sequence of symbols. The value of each symbol or digit is a function of the value of the symbol and the place it occupies in the sequence. The place in the sequence of symbols represents a power of a base number for a numbering system. For example, in the decimal number "12" the least significant digit "2" represents the quantity (2) of units (100) and the most significant digit "1" represents the quantity of tens (101) included in the value of the sequence of symbols. Digital electronic devices typically utilize binary numbers where a symbol in the sequence or bit represents one of two possible states or values (1 or 0) and the position of the bit in the sequence of bits indicates a power of the base number "2". For example, a sequence of eight bits or a byte can represent values between 0 and 255. Digital information or data typically comprises a binary number expressed as ordered sequence or block of bits.
Lossless compression is a process that reduces the number of bits required to represent a block of data, but permits the bits of the original block to be restored exactly. Lossless compression exploits statistical redundancy in data and reduces the quantity of data by identifying and coding data similarities, correlation, and predictability. For example, run-length encoding is a lossless compression process that is useful in compressing data that contains repeated occurrences of the same symbol or group of symbols. For instance, an image of the night sky would include long runs of the symbol or symbols that represent the pixels of a black background. When a run of the appropriate symbol is detected, the encoder outputs the value of the symbol as a flag indicating the start of the run and follows the flag with the number of symbols included the run of symbols. Huffman encoding is another commonly used lossless compression technique. In this technique unique variable length code symbols are assigned to patterns symbols in the data according the frequency of repetition of the pattern. For example, if the letter "e" is the most frequently occurring symbol in a text document its bit sequence would be assigned the shortest code symbol (for example a single bit "1"). Less frequently used sequences are assigned longer, unique code symbol sequence. If the average length of the code sequence of the encoded data is shorter than the average length of the symbol sequences in the original data, the total amount of data will be reduced.
Lossy compression exploits subjective irrelevancy in the data. Lossy compression is typically applied to digitized signals, such as audio signals or image pixel values, where a degradation of the decompressed signal, with respect to the original signal, is perceptually irrelevant or, at least, tolerable. For example, lossy compression is often used in image processing where in exactitude in the color of a pixel is expected or, at least, tolerable and where the quality of the reconstructed image can be traded for compression efficiency. Lossy compression is typically a two-step process in which useful components of the data are identified and modeled and a portion of the data, considered to be perceptually irrelevant to the data's destination, is discarded. In image processing, adjacent pixels tend to be highly correlated. Transform coding is typically used to model image pixels and analyze the frequencies included in the visual signal. Quantization of the transform coefficients compresses the data by discarding a portion of the information necessary to perfectly describe the pixels. While the pixels of the image cannot be precisely reconstructed, the distortion produced by the loss of information may not be perceptually objectionable to a human viewer.
Data is typically generated, processed, and stored as a sequential progression of data blocks each comprising an ordered sequence of symbols representing the value of the sequence. For example, to compress and store an image, the image is scanned and decomposed to an array of pixels. In the case of a color image, the image is typically filtered and separated into a plurality (typically three or four) color planes. Each color plane is a gray scale image comprising pixels spatially corresponding to those of the scanned image. A pixel of a color plane has a luminous intensity or luminosity proportional to the intensity of the particular color component at that pixel. The image can be described by an array of symbol sequences. Each sequence comprises a specific number of bits or symbols expressing a value corresponding to the intensity of a pixel in the appropriate color plane. For example, an image may be separated into red, green, and blue color planes and the intensity of each pixel in each color plane represented by eight bits. If this color data is interlaced, the image can then be described by a data stream comprising a sequence of data blocks with each data block comprising an ordered sequence of 24 bits describing the intensity of the three color components making up the image. While compression algorithms typically detect and exploit irrelevancy and statistical redundancy in the stream of data, the present inventors discovered that compression efficiency can be often be improved and computational requirements reduced by partitioning the data along bit planes comprising the symbols holding one or more places in the plurality of ordered sequences and processing the data comprising bit planes.
In the method of the present invention, the data of the array 26 is partitioned along bit planes containing the bits occupying a particular place or plurality of places in the ordered sequences making up the array. For example, the most significant bits of the bit sequences may be grouped in a single bit plane 36. Likewise, the least significant bits or the two least significant bits might occupy a bit plane 38. For convenience, the bits included in the bit plane can be assigned to a file and processed. Lossless or lossy compression algorithms are applied to the data in the file to reduce the quantity of data in the file. An algorithm can be selected that is likely to produce high compression efficiency or optimize compression efficiency and data distortion. For example, applying run length encoding to the bit plane 36 comprising the most significant bits of the data of the array 26 may achieve high efficiency because there are likely to be substantial runs of like bits. Lossless compression of the most significant bit plane 36 avoids distortion of the decompressed data and the possibility of substantial changes in the data and, for example, the color of the pixel represented by the data. On the other hand, a different compression algorithm may be more appropriate to a bit plane comprising least significant bits, such as bit plane 38. In the case of image data, a lossy compression technique applied to a bit plane of less significant bits may provide high compression efficiency without substantially subjectively impacting quality of the decompressed image.
Since the bit planes may be processed by different methods, a data processing device that includes a library of compression algorithms can apply a plurality of algorithms to each plane for adaptive processing. Referring to
Data is typically processed as a series of ordered sequences or blocks. While significant compression can be achieved, data often has greater statistical redundancy when partitioned along a bit plane including the symbols occupying a particular place or places in the sequence of ordered symbols. This redundancy can be exploited to achieve high efficiency, adaptive compression and reduce computational complexity.

45 year old woman | Warren, OH, USA | Seeking men 21-45 in United States
Must Love Dogs . . . and a love of music doesn't hurt! ;-)
If you're only interested in looking at pictures and not reading -- best of luck to you. A photo is a must to get a reply . . . you've seen me! It's only fair! ;-) I want a taaaaaaaaaaaaaall man. Sorry if this sounds shallow, but I know what I like! If you're shorter than 5'10" I wish you nothing but the best in your search . . . I'm just not attracted to shorter men. Age - Don't let my age fool you! I don't look or act my age and I don't need someone who cannot keep up with me. I live a fast paced fun filled life and I like it that way. If my music's too loud then you are too old. I do not want to date a man who acts old, and I do not want a man who looks old. Also . . . I find myself much more attracted to men who have HAIR. I'm just not that into bald men. :-) (shaggy or long hair is more appealing than a military buzz cut) My perfect date is intelligent, and knows what good music is. While looks are important (there has to be chemistry), brains are just as important! I enjoy being able to have an intelligent conversation about a variety of diverse topics . . . cars, music, animals, computers, world history, different cultures, etc. I like a book with a good cover and an even better story inside! I'm looking for someone who can be an equal. I don't need to be taken care of, nor do I want a man who needs taken care of. There is a difference in wanting to take care of someone and needing to take care of someone - if you understand this then you are on the right track! I am on the go a lot -- so if you need someone who stays at home and watches t.v. 24/7, then I am not the girl for you. I love nothing more than to grab my camera, hop in the car, and just head out and see what I find. Capturing a moment in time on film . . . I can't explain how that feels. If I'm not out snapping photos, then I enjoy hanging out with friends. When I am home I'm usually working on a computer, editing photos, curled up with a good book (and my pooch), or practicing yoga (trying to learn Pilates as well). If from my profile you get the impression that music is a big part of my life -- you'd be right. I'm not just a casual listener. I can live, eat, sleep and breathe music! I've have been blessed with a lot of friends, some of whom tour the world. I'm a rock chick at heart . . . but not in the partying sense (hangovers are NO fun, and I have never been into drugs) -- I'm not above staying up all night after a show, or going out afterwith friends. If you're fun loving, not a big time (falling down drunk) partier, but enjoy having fun -- then by all means let's chat! If you understand why guys in bands wear eyeliner and nail polish -- or if you wear it yourself ;-) -- then we may have a LOT in common. haha!! I can be a bit of a contradiction as well . . . as much as I love being around music and the music scene . . . I'm just as happy taking time and losing myself in nature. I am fortunate enough to live near some amazing parks, which I love to go exploring. Nothing like taking time to recharge in nature! I am a staunch Liberal -- I care about the environment and my fellow man -- wanting to make the world a better place starts at home . . . I have no children of my own, however, I adore kids! Two of my jobs involve working with kids, and I love it!! I have a niece who is the light of my life (along with my pets), and I love nothing more than getting to spend one on one time with her -- watching her grow, change, and evolve into this amazing person is something I wouldn't trade for the world! Wink, or drop me a line if you'd like to chat and see where the road takes us . . . Best of luck to you in your search! Namaste . . . .

'Companies must help solve socio-economic problems'
Dr Wayne Visser, founder and chief executive officer, CSR International, United Kingdom, is an authority on Corporate Responsibility. A former director of Sustainability Services for KPMG and Strategy Analyst for Cap Gemini, South Africa, Visser is a visiting professor in CSR at Manheim University, Germany and senior associate and internal examiner at the University of Cambridge Programme for Industry. A prolific author with 12 books, Visser is a visiting professor on Sustainability at Magna Carta College, Oxford and also an adjunct professor of CSR at La Trobe Graduate School of Management, Australia. This year, Wayne was listed in the 'Top 100 Global Sustainability Leaders' ranking by ABC Carbon and the 'Top 100 Thought Leaders' in Europe & the Middle East 2011 ranking by the Centre for Sustainability & Excellence and Trust Across America. While in Nigeria to facilitate capacity building training on sustainability and leadership for corporate chiefs and executives, Visser shares his thoughts with Taofik Salako and Rita Ohai.
Why is the concept of corporate social responsibility becoming a leading issue in the global corporate community?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the ability to respond to society through business in a way that cares for its needs. It needs to include four elements which are economic development, good governance, stakeholder orientation and ecological integrity. CSR has come a long way; it's actually a very long trend that we have seen going all the way back to the 1800s. In recent times what we have seen is that companies have been going through five stages of CSR. Some are still at the defensive stage, others are more charity-focused or profit or promotional based, while others have taken a more strategic approach thereby focusing more on codes, standards and management systems. I think these methods of practicing CSR have failed to really solve the problems, so we are just starting to see a new version, which is transformative in nature.
This has also raised the issue of additional human capacity. The need of the global challenges that we face and so many of these are urgent and too complex for just one organisation or sector to solve. So whether we are looking at issues of corruption or poverty or climate change or loss of biodiversity and income gaps widening, all these are social and environmental problems we have to solve and what we have found over the last 15 years is that the problems are getting worse far quicker than our solutions are getting better and that's one of the reasons why we are looking at CSR to make a big difference through business.
Sure, everyone seems to agree now that continuing with an old approach where CSR is not part of business strategy is dangerous as it will not solve problems that CSR was initiated for. CSR undoubtedly has potential for many positive impacts, for communities and the environment. Yet, its success or failure should be judged in the context of the total impacts of business on society and the planet.
Given your interaction so far, how would you assess the level of CSR in Nigeria?
I think it depends on which companies you are talking about because many of the multinational corporations, the oil companies especially, due to their international ties are probably at the stage of strategic CSR. More generally though, I would say that most companies I have seen in Nigeria are stuck either in a philanthropic mode, making it all about charity and community development or in a marketing mode, making it all about promoting the company. On-going capacity building programme is designed to show Nigerian corporate decision markets how to fully optimise the gains from the issues of responsibility and sustainability, which will remain the main ground on which brands will manage the major phases of their stakeholder engagement processes.
But there have always been the belief that oil companies are doing less than expected, especially considering their impact on environment?
Well, it's clear that if we look only at the impact on the community, society and environment, these are problems that have not been solved by the oil companies but I think we need to recognise that the oil companies have done a lot and have many progressive practices such as the global Memorandums of Understanding. If we look at the impact of their activities on the environment, I think there's still a long way to go but what we need to recognise is that these companies can't do it alone. The government has a very strong role to play. In often cases, there are shareholders in the company and they need to provide a more supportive environment than they do at the moment. The civil society also has a role to play in being critical of the companies and also supporting where they are making any progress.
How do you compare Nigeria's practise of CSR with the global one?
I think most of the global companies have made it to the strategic phase and a few of them have started to engage in what I call transformative CSR, which is really looking at their core-business and redesigning that business completely so that rather than make them less bad, it actually makes their products, services and activities good for the society. Looked at on a scale like that, I would say that Nigeria is still some way behind. They are learning fairly quickly. So there's a lot of progress being made but at the moment I would say Nigeria is still behind the global level. In Africa, I would say, Nigeria is certainly behind countries like South Africa but an appetite is growing.
How can companies synchronise their operations with CSR without jeopardising profitability?
Companies need to realise that CSR is not just about charity or philanthropy and giving money to community projects. That is a very old-fashioned and a very narrow view of CSR and in most countries; that has been discredited because companies tend to use that as a way to improve their image when in actual fact their overall impact could be quite negative. So the first thing that companies could do is move away from that narrow focus to a very broader understanding of CSR, being about the impact of their core products and services on the society and environment. The second thing they should do is to demonstrate some leadership around the issues of society and environment in terms of being ambitious by setting very bold targets as found in the case of, for example, Wal-Mart, which although being the biggest retailer in the world, is going for 100 per cent renewable energy and renewable waste.
What can the government do to ensure that multinationals and small-scale companies carry out CSR?
Well, what government shouldn't be doing is trying to force companies to do CSR. I think the idea that you should have mandatory CSR is a wrong way to legislate, rather what government should be doing is to have effective regulations on the issues CSR is trying to tackle such as the environment, labour conditions and corruption. The government should also set long term targets for companies and hold them to it. If we look at something like climate change, we know that globally we have to achieve 80 per cent less carbon emissions by 2050 but business will not make the big leaps in technology that it needs to make the 2050 goal possible unless government will ensure that they commit to those targets and stick to them. Ultimately, it all comes down to better governance. A clear failing of our current economic and commercial system is based on a fundamentally flawed design, which acts as if there are no limits on resource consumption or waste disposal. Instead, we need a cradle-to-cradle approach, closing all resource loops and ensuring that products and processes are inherently 'good', rather than 'less bad'. Government can help in shaping this.
What's the outlook for corporate responsibility, especially in the light of global economic trend?
Looking to the future, what is just starting to emerge is a new approach to CSR, which I call systemic CSR. This is a purpose-driven, principle-based approach, in which business seeks to identify and tackle the root causes of the present unsustainability and irresponsibility, typically through innovating business models, revolutionizing their processes, products and services and lobbying for progressive national and international policies. By 2052, I think we will see most large, international companies having moved through the first four types or stages of CSR-defensive, charitable, promotional and strategic, then getting to systemic CSR. By then, CSR would have become more creative and companies will be judged on how innovative they are in using their products and processes to tackle social and environmental problems. Another shift you will notice is taking CSR solutions to scale. There is no shortage of charming case studies of laudably responsible and sustainable projects. The problem is that so few of them ever go to scale. A trend that is already underway and will continue to strengthen is the use of cross-sector partnerships. This is in recognition of the fact that the problems we face today are too global, complex and multifaceted for a single institution to solve. Also, I think progressive companies more and more will be required to demonstrate full life cycle management of their products, from cradle-to-cradle. We will see most large companies committing to the goal of zero-waste, carbon-neutral and water-neutral production, with mandated take-back schemes for most products.
Still, the roles of government in the future of CSR remain crucial. Many of the issues that CSR is currently trying to tackle on a voluntary basis will be mandatory in the future, especially with regards to emission reductions, waste practices and transparency. There will also be a gradual harmonisation of country-level legislation on social, environmental and ethical issues.
Collectively, you can see a future of widespread adoption of systemic CSR by 2052, a future in which companies become a significant part of the solution to our sustainability crisis, rather than complicit contributors to the problem, as they are today.

Flip flops, thongs, jandals, slappies, step-in's - whatever you call them… We've all got a pair... And when you think of these practical beach shoes that don't fall under workplace health and safety regulations, you usually think of Havaianas. Offering hundreds (possibly thousands) of designs from children's Disney themed prints to straps embellished with Swarovski diamonds; Havianas have done it all.
Most recently Havaianas has teamed up with Sydney's renowned photographer and beach life documenter Aquabumps to bring you the ultimate pair of Australian beach thongs. One of Aquabumps favourite aerial hero shots "The Caribbean Look, Bondi" is now a vibrant Havaianas print.
The thongs will be sold in the Aquabumps Gallery in Bondi (Sydney) from 9th November 2013, however you will more than likely be able to find them almost anywhere across the country.
If you need a good Aussie souvenir to take back home to family or friends - this could be a nice idea.

Early treatment gives an abused or neglected child the best chance for recovery.
The first step is to provide a safe
environment to prevent further harm. The sooner this happens, the better the child's chance for physical and emotional recovery. This includes separating the child,
as well as any other children in the household, from the person suspected of abuse.
Any physical injuries will be treated, either in a hospital or at a doctor's office, depending on how serious they are.
Counseling is
always recommended for abused or neglected children. It usually focuses on:
For very
young children, counseling may involve
play therapy.
Parents or
caregivers who have abused or neglected a child also need treatment. The type
of treatment depends on the specific abuse that occurred.
Some people need to learn more
about how to raise and care for children. Others may need treatment for
other serious problems, such as:
Parents who have lost custody of their children can sometimes
regain it. It depends on how bad the abuse or neglect
was and how far they have come in realizing what their problems are and how to prevent them.
In severe
cases, the parent can see the child only when someone else is present. Sometimes
a judge permanently ends the parent-child relationship.

Ursula K. Le Guin was born Ursula Kroeber in 1929 in Berkeley, California. Her father was the eminent anthropologist Alfred Kroeber (1897–1960), whose extensive and pioneering work on Native American tribes helped establish one of the leading US anthropology departments at the University of California at Berkley. Her mother, Theodora Kracaw Kroeber Quinn (1897–1979), was a writer and scholar in her own right, known for the best selling Ishi in Two Worlds: A Biography of the Last Wild Indian in North America (1961). As a child, Le Guin read avidly, especially in myth and science-fiction, the latter possibly an influence of her older brothers' interests. She started writing very young, submitting her first story …

My DS is teething...he must be, he is not napping well...waking at night when he use to STTN and he is cranky and drooly. He is 5 mths old...I am wondering if it is ok to give some tylenol when he goes to bed to help with the pain? I have been told to do so. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
Tylenol....is it ok to give?
You can give your baby a little tylenol to take the edge off whatever is bothering him. I can't remember the dosage, but just 0.3 should be ok, but you can always call your doctor's office and they will tell you how much to give. Sometime you never know what is bothering them, but you do know it is not normal and you would do the same thing for yourself. As far as teething, My doctor told me that the baby might be teething even if you don't see the teeth yet. A good sign is lots of drooling and chewing on everything! Good Luck
at 5 mos old they can have a full dropper of tylenol 0.8
an yes, it is ok to give it to him for pain and to help with sleeping through the teething process.

You can also try Hyland's Teething Tablets. They work great. They are little tiny pills that disolve almost instantly. Teething is not fun...good luck!!!

Thank you all for your comments....I have never heard of the Hylands Teething Tablets....thanks for the tip!
My son is 5 month old and his doctor said to give him tylenol. However, he was very specific about the amount -- .3

Proud wife to Scott – married 11/7/03
I have a 5month old with same problem. My doctor said to give 1ml baby tylenol (or generic). Baby orajel would work as well.
Caden (May 2009) & Eva (Feb 2011)
Your doctor will tell you how much tylenol, but if you are not sure check the weight on the tylenol bottle. It is safer to go off of the weight than the age, because not all babies/kids weigh the same at that certain age.
~lilmama~ EDD 2/4/10 due to cpp and accreta I had my angel on 12-20-09
-papa- born 2/8/08 went to heaven on 1/29/10
Tylenol definitely depends on the weight of the child, not the age. Check with your ped's office. They'll tell you how much to give. Give Hyland's Teething Tablets a try. Someone recommended them to me and they are the ONLY thing that helps DS when he's screaming in pain from teething. I give him two and within a few minutes he's pain-free. They can be really hard to find though. BRU carries them but they're out a lot of times. I've also gotten them at Jewel (aka-Albertsons) and Meijer.
Good Luck!
Mommy to big brother and little sister (my vbac baby!!)
I was just reading these posts. My 6 month old is teething. I am also wondering if I can give her tylenol to help her sleep. I've heard there are new studies that advice against giving infants tylenol. Don't know the details. Does anyone else have info about this?

Combinatorial constructions for integrals over normally distributed random matrices
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Recent results of Hanlon, Stanley, and Stembridge give the expected values of certain functions of matrices of normal variables in the real and complex cases. They point out that in both cases the results are equivalent to combinatorial results and suggest further that these results may have purely combinatorial proofs, in this way avoiding the use of the theory of spherical functions. Such proofs are given in this paper. In the complex case we use the familiar cycle decomposition for permutations. In the real case we introduce an analogous decomposition into cyclically ordered sequences, called chains, which makes the real and complex cases strikingly similar.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm loosing a little sleep over this one. I got the kit from B&S, so I don't suppose there's oxalic acid in the bottle of ferric oxalate. Think I should purchase some and have it handy. Your question led me to investigate the New Platinum Book and I found that I can add EDTA Tetrasodium too. If yes, question is:Originally Posted by clay
1. Is EDTA Tetrasodium similiar to the Edta Clearing Agent B&S sent me?
2. Is it okay now to add Edta to the already mix ferric Oxalate?
3. Does Oxalic acid do a better job than Edta added to Ferric Oxalate solution?
Next... Hope this isn't a dumb question, but does it make sense to alter the pH of the rinse/wash water by adding a little of "something" to it?
I've got a nice print made a few days ago and I'm 100% sure it hasn't been cleared sufficiently. The print border isn't masked. With all the soaking in pH positive rinse/water baths, will it retard clearing action if I did re-clearing, following the procedure as you described earlier?
Thanks again for being so helpful.
