The present application claims priority to U.S. provisional application having Ser. No. 60/416,155 filed on Oct. 4, 2002; also, the present invention is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/212,017, which was filed on Aug. 2, 2002, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/235,201, which was filed on Sep. 5, 2002, and U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 10/263,160, 10/263,449, and 10/263,270 which were filed on Oct. 2, 2002, and related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/403,485, which was filed on Mar. 31, 2003 the disclosure and teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates in general to broadband communications systems, and more particularly, to the field of network multimedia systems having a multi-room interactive network guide.
Broadband communications systems, such as satellite and cable television systems, are now capable of providing many services in addition to analog broadcast video. In implementing enhanced programming, the set-top terminal (STT), otherwise known as the set-top box, has become an important computing device for accessing various video services. In addition to supporting traditional analog broadcast video functionality, many STTs now also provide other functionality, such as, for example, an interactive program guide (IPG), picture-in-picture (PIP) viewing, video-on-demand (VOD), subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) and functionality traditionally associated with a conventional computer, such as e-mail. Recently new functionality has been added to conventional STTs—namely the ability to record an incoming video stream in digitized form onto a mass storage device, such as a hard disk drive, and play back that recorded video as desired by the user. This functionality has become known as a "digital video recorder" (DVR) or personal video recorder (PVR) and is viewed as a superior alternative to conventional video tape recorders for capture and subsequent playback of programming content.
A STT is typically connected to a television set and located at the home of the cable or satellite system subscriber. Since the STT is located at a subscriber's premises, it typically may be used by two or more users (e.g., household members). Television has become so prevalent in the United States that the typical household may have two or more television sets, each television set requiring its own STT if the subscriber wishes to have access to enhanced functionality.
A networked multimedia system (NMS) is described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/342,670, filed Jan. 15, 2003, the disclosure and teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The NMS allows a plurality of remote devices in the premises to be locally networked (i.e., home-networked). One of the remote devices typically acts as the server or primary device (i.e., the primary set-top terminal (STT)) in the NMS. The primary device receives and forwards upon request broadband multimedia presentations (e.g., analog or digital television channels (i.e., audio/video signals), IP signals, video-on-demand (VOD) signals, administrative signals, etc.) throughout the local network to the plurality of remote devices (i.e., client devices). Furthermore, the remote devices are each capable of requesting and seamlessly receiving from the primary device resident presentations, such as a stored or recorded presentation, the interactive program guide, or the network guide, for example. Additionally, the remote devices may independently receive presentations from and send upstream signals to the communications network. Accordingly, the remote devices may be simplified, less-costly versions of the primary device but are capable of utilizing, via the NMS, some or all of the advanced hardware and software features, such as memory, a mass storage device, software applications, or infrastructure for transmitting signals back to the headend, that are available in the primary device.
However, there exists a need for systems and methods that allow multiple users operating discrete STTs within a networked premises to have access to programming and content received by and/or stored in another STT. Therefore, there also exists a need for the ability to control and/or monitor the discrete STTs within the networked premises, such as a primary STT being able to view the content that is currently being or had been watched on a remote STT.
The invention can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the invention. In the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The embodiments of the invention can be understood in the context of a broadband communications system and a local network system. Note, however, that the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. For example, transmitted broadband signals may include at least one of video/audio, telephony, data, or Internet Protocol (IP) signals, to name but a few. Furthermore, remote devices included in the local network system receiving the transmitted broadband signals may include a set-top terminal (STT), a television, a computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or other display device. Moreover, in accordance with the present invention a multi-room interactive network guide can have various features, functions, and presentations when displayed. All examples given herein, therefore, are intended to be non-limiting and are provided in order to help clarify the description of the invention.
The HE 120 may include one or more server devices for providing broadband signals, such as video, audio, and/or data signals, to a primary device 140 via the CN 130. The HE 120 and the primary device 140 cooperate to provide a user with a variety of services. The services may include, for example, analog or digital broadcast television services and channels, video-on-demand (VOD) services, and/or pay-per-view (PPV) services, among others. Each broadcast television channel typically provides a sequence of television presentations corresponding to a television station (e.g., ABC, NBC, CBS, or FNN) and is typically identified by a channel number (e.g., channel 2, channel 3, channel 4) that is available to a user at all times. Additionally, PPV services are typically transmitted to the primary device 140 at all times, but can only be viewed on the primary device 140 as provisioned. On the other hand, the primary device 140 typically requests a VOD service and, subsequently, the HE 120 transmits the presentation downstream to the primary device 140.
The NMS can include a router, but as shown in
Furthermore, the primary device 140 may also directly provide signals, such as analog and digital channels, stored presentations, or the network guide to name but a few, to a coupled display device 180, which may be, for example, a television, computer, or PDA (personal digital assistant), among others. The primary device 140 may transmit signals to and receive control signals from the display device 180 via wireless devices (e.g., RF or IR devices) or a wired medium (e.g., coaxial cable, power lines, or telephone lines). It will also be appreciated that the primary device 140 may be incorporated in the display device 180.
The primary device 140, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, includes a processor, a tuner system, a storage device, a modulator, and a remote device communications receiver. Each of the remote devices, such as the remote device 150-1, may be identical to the primary device 140 and just share the storage device contents of the primary device 140. Alternatively, the remote device 150-1 may be a simplified or conventional version of the primary device 140. A processor and a tuner system, which may be a simplified processor and only one tuner, may be included to extract channels from the received downstream broadband signals. Additionally, decryptors and decoders may be included to decode encoded signals for proper processing and display. Preferably, the remote device 150-1 includes a user input receiver, such as an IR receiver or an RF receiver, that receives signals from a remote control, such as an IR remote control or an RF remote control. The remote control is not required and any user input device could be incorporated in the remote device 150-1.
In the event that the remote device 150-1, upon user input, requests a presentation, a reverse command signal is transmitted from the remote device 150-1 to the primary device 140 via the SIM 160. The remote device command receiver receives and demodulates the command signal according to its transmission method, such as frequency-shift keying (FSK) or on-off keying (OOK) transmission. The processor subsequently receives the demodulated command signals indicative of the requested action (e.g., requesting a presentation) and in accordance therewith instructs the tuner to tune to, for example, a channel carrying a real-time downstream signal, or the processor may retrieve a stored presentation from the storage device. The presentation's content signals are then provided to the modulator, which modulates the selected presentation prior to forwarding to the SIM 160. A preferred embodiment of the present invention uses a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulator, which may be used for effectively transmitting signals over coaxial cable in a cable television environment.
The presentations stored in the storage device of the primary device 140 include program identifiers (PIDs), which may be indexed and stored as a table in the primary device's memory. The remote devices 150-1 to 150-n may watch a single stored presentation by remapping the PID value of the stored program to a different PID value prior to modulation. In this manner, the single stored program basically remains in the storage device, while the transmitted presentation is a copy of the stored presentation having a remapped PID value.
In one embodiment, arrow buttons on the remote control can be used to scroll through a main presentation listing 260 and to highlight a desired presentation 220. The top left portion of the IPG screen 200 is a detailed focus area 210 that includes detailed information for a currently highlighted presentation 220. The detailed focus area 210 may include channel number, channel description, presentation name, duration of the presentation, and/or any episode information or rating. As a user scrolls in time across a calendar day boundary 270, the day and date indications displayed in various areas are updated. The bottom area 250 of the IPG screen 200 also indicates the current day for which presentation listing data is being displayed as well as information about the current functions of the optional "A," "B," and "C" keys that may be on the remote controls and are used in conjunction with the IPG. Further information regarding an interactive program guide can be found in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/212,017 filed on Aug. 2, 2002, the disclosure and teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
For example, a presentation 430 entitled JAG was recorded on Tuesday, October 3 and is one hour in length. After the user selects the presentation 430, the remote device 150-1 sends a reverse command signal that is indicative of the selected presentation (i.e., JAG) to the remote command receiver via the SIM 160. The processor extracts JAG from the storage device using an identifier. The presentation 430 is subsequently modulated and transmitted to the SIM 160 for delivery to the remote device 150-1. The requesting remote device 150-1 tunes to the modulator frequency and waits for the response (i.e., the presentation 430 entitled JAG).
The network guide 500, which is stored on the primary device 140, provides customization options for the primary device 140 and all of the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n. Upon customization of either the primary device 140 or one of the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n, the updated network guide 500 is saved with the new information. The primary device 140 then broadcasts, either upon request or in a carousel manner, the customized network guide 500 to the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n. Alternatively, the network guide 500 can be customized from any one or each of the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n. In this implementation, the user accesses the network guide 500 and uses the customization screen 1100 (
Still referring to
The primary device 140 inherently knows what presentation each remote device 150-1 to 150-n is currently receiving when the presentations originate from the primary device 140. By way of example, the processor processes command signals from a remote device 150-1 requesting a stored presentation. The processor accesses the presentation from storage and routes the content signals indicative of the presentation to the modulator. The modulated presentation is subsequently provided to the remote device 150-1 via the SIM 160. The processor updates the network guide 500 with the presentation name and detailed information regarding the presentation along with the requesting remote device name and/or address. Similarly, the primary device 140 is aware of a tuned presentation (e.g., a television channel or a VOD presentation) that is provided to a remote device 150-1 via the tuner system in the primary device 140.
There are times, however, when remote devices receive presentations without the assistance of the primary device 140. Some of the following examples may require only one tuner. However, some may require multiple tuners. For example, the remote device 150-2 may itself tune to a different television channel using an internal tuner system or the remote device may be turned off. Therefore, in one embodiment, the primary device 140 may request an indication of status from the remote device 150-2 in order to update the network guide 500. In which case, the processor in the primary device 140 sends a request signal to the remote device 150-2. In response, the remote device 150-2, via its processor, sends reverse command signals to the primary device 140's processor indicating its activity (e.g., presentation name, tuned channel, inactive, etc.). In another embodiment, each of the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n may send command signals updating their status on a regular basis. For example, the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n transmit reverse command signals indicating their activity every five seconds. In another embodiment, the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n may send command signals only when there is a change in activity (e.g., a channel change, power down, etc.), thereby potentially saving bandwidth. In another embodiment, the HE 120 can be used to relay messages between the primary device 140 and the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n. In yet another embodiment, if the tuners of the remote device 150-1 to 150-n can not be tuned to a multi-room QAM channel, a FSK demod can be added to each remote device 150-1 to 150-n so that each device knows the status of the others. It will be appreciated that in a further embodiment, the network guide 500 can be updated by using a combination of the embodiments.
The "A" icon 750 is labeled Settings History and would allow a user to see detailed information about the use of a specified remote device. For example, the user would highlight Remote Device-2 "Joshua's Room" 730 and would be able to view volume adjustments, change of channel, when the device was turned on and off, or other features accessed with the remote control on the remote device.
The "B" icon 740 is labeled Display Status Changes. This feature allows a user to monitor the activity of any of the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n on the display device 180 attached to the primary device 140. Once activated, changes in status will appear on the display device 180 every time there is a change such as a toggle between on and off, a channel change, or viewing a recorded program. For example, as shown in
The primary device 140 may view the current presentation of a remote device, such as remote device 150-1, through picture-in-picture (PIP). While viewing the network guide 500, a present presentation can be highlighted and/or selected and a second tuner in the primary device 140 can be used to create a picture-in-picture view 1010 on the display device 180 of the presentation currently playing on the remote device 150-1 as shown in
The network guide 500 has an icon "C" 530 labeled Customize, as shown in
The user can also choose whether or not to display status changes of any of the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n. Once in the customization screen 1100 in
When the option of displaying status changes is on, the primary device 140 is constantly monitoring the remote devices 150-1 to 150-n and will create a changed status display 810 as shown in
The user can also select the View PIP option 1130 as shown in
It should be emphasized that the above-described embodiments of the invention are merely possible examples, among others, of the implementations, setting forth a clear understanding of the principles of the invention. Many variations and modifications may be made to the above-described embodiments of the invention without departing substantially from the principles of the invention. All such modifications and variations are intended to be included herein within the scope of the disclosure and invention and protected by the following claims. In addition, the scope of the invention includes embodying the functionality of the embodiments of the invention in logic embodied in hardware and/or software-configured mediums.

Glenn and Greg Chamandy founded Gildan in 1984 with the acquisition of a knitting mill in Montreal, Canada.[5]
Gildan Textiles Inc. was founded to make fabric to supply the family childrenswear business, Harley Inc. It later expanded to sell t-shirts made of 100% cotton to wholesalers, which resold them to U.S. and Canadian screen-printers, to be decorated with designs and logos. By 1994, Harley was closed in order to focus on the expansion of what had become Gildan Activewear.[6]
The combination of low wages and advanced technology has allowed Gildan to lower its price per shirt to below that of Chinese manufacturers.[7]
Gildan opened its first off-shore sewing facility in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, in 1997. The plant was vertically integrated and employed 1,200 workers. Over the next year, the company worked towards an IPO and was listed publicly on both the Toronto and American Stock Exchanges (TSX, AMEX). Gildan transferred its US listing from AMEX to the New York Stock Exchange in September 1999.[7]
By 2001, Gildan was the leading distributor of 100% cotton T-shirts in the US as determined by the ACNielsen S.T.A.R.S. Report.[citation needed] The next year, the company opened a knitting, bleaching, dyeing, finishing and cutting facility in Rio Nance, Honduras.[7]
Over the next few years, Gildan continued its expansion by opening sewing facilities in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic and a distribution center in Charleston, South Carolina.[8][not in citation given]
In 2010 the company invested $15m in Shahriyar Fabric Industries Limited in Bangladesh to support planned growth in Asia and Europe.[9]
Gildan bought Gold Toe Moretz, a North Carolina-based sock manufacturer, in early 2011. Previously, Gildan had primarily focused on its activewear market share, and had started entering the retail channel with the acquisitions of two sock manufacturers. The Gold Toe acquisition doubled the company's sock revenue.[10][not in citation given]
In May 2012, Gildan again expanded with its purchase of 130-year old apparel maker Anvil Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Anvil Knitwear and producer of environmentally-friendly lines of sustainable, recycled and organic apparel.
Gildan bought a 30-second spot to air an advertisement during the third quarter of the 2013 Super Bowl. The ad was part of an overall $25 million marketing push created by DeVito/Verdi, which included broadcast, print, digital, event marketing, and public relations. Gildan started speaking to the media about its Super Bowl ad in early December 2012.[11]
The company also sponsored the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, which was played December 15, 2012 in Albuquerque.[12]
Environment and sustainability[edit]
In the past decade, Gildan implemented sustainability initiatives to reduce or eliminate potentially negative effects its facilities might have on the environment. Facilities in Honduras and the Dominican Republic employ Biotop, a biological wastewater management system that uses gravity, microorganisms and sunlight to remove chemicals and dyes from wastewater.[13][not in citation given] When treated by Biotop, the water is beneficial to nearby ecosystems and suitable for use in local agriculture. [14]
Exploitative labor practices[edit]
|This article's Criticism or Controversy section may compromise the article's neutral point of view of the subject. (August 2014)
Worker rights abuses and forced pregnancy testing[edit]
On January 22, 2002, CBC News: Disclosure ran a segment entitled "Sewing Discontent" in which Honduran employees of Gildan Activewear accused the Quebec-based T-shirt manufacturer of a number of worker rights abuses, including:
- Excessively high production quotas;
- Eleven hour work days;
- Wages of Cdn$16 (US$10.52) a day that didn't meet workers' basic needs;
- Supervised bathroom breaks to limit workers' use of the facilities;
- Poor air quality – air filled with fabric dust;
- Firings of workers attempting to organize; and
- Forced pregnancy testing, and firings of workers found to be pregnant.[15]
Unlawful Mass termination[edit]
The unlawful mass termination of workers at Gildan's plant in El Progreso, Honduras, in August 2004 was followed by Gildan Activewear's compliance with a priority rehire agreement reached in 2005 with the Worker Rights Consortium. However, after investigation, a December 2006 Update Report by the Worker Rights Consortium found that Gildan did not comply with the agreement during a key early stage of implementation.[16]
Verbal, physical, and sexual abuse[edit]
Star S.A. is an apparel manufacturing facility in Honduras that is disclosed as a producer of collegiate apparel for licensees Nike, New Agenda, and VF Imagewear. Star S.A. is owned by Gildan, which acquired the factory as part of its purchase of Anvil Knitwear on May 3, 2012. In 2008, a factory investigation found that workers facing verbal, physical, and sexual abuse were fired when they tried to unionize.[17]
Allegations of labor rights violations[edit]
In a January 20, 2011 investigation report, the Worker Rights Consortium has identified serious and ongoing violations by Gildan of workers' associational rights.[18] These violations include, most significantly:
- Systematic threats of termination and blacklisting of workers by Gildan management that were designed to destroy efforts by workers to organize an independent union. In some cases, managers threatened not only to terminate the workers, but also to ensure that they would be unable to find other employment – i.e., that they would be blacklisted and therefore unable to support their families;
- When these actions failed to thwart the unionization drive, collusion by Gildan management with an unrepresentative labor organization to put in place an illegitimate collective bargaining agreement, as a means of avoiding having to bargain with workers' freely chosen representatives;
- The retaliatory dismissal of seven union members, and the attempted retaliatory dismissal of a union leader, based on transparently pretextual grounds;
Genesis, S.A. is a Haitian factory manufacturing T-shirts whose main customer is Gildan Activewear. It has been accused as the most serious offender in a campaign of retaliatory dismissals, targeted at the leaders of a new labor rights and union organizing effort in Port-au-Prince.[19]
Harshest working conditions in the global apparel industry[20][edit]
Genesis, S.A. is a Haitian factory manufacturing T-shirts and its only customer is Gildan Activewear.[21] Genesis, S.A. has been the most serious offender in a multi-factory campaign of retaliatory dismissals, targeted at the leaders of a new labor rights and union organizing effort in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. Haitian apparel workers receive the lowest wages in the hemisphere and face some of the harshest working conditions anywhere in the global apparel industry.[7]
Violence and death threats[edit]
An investigation[22] between May and October 2012 at the same factory owned by Gildan was conducted by Worker Rights Consortium and describes two sets of allegations made by Star workers. First, workers alleged that management gave tacit approval and/or engaged in active collusion vis-à-vis threats of violence and acts of harassment against members and leaders of the union. Second, workers alleged that Star management violated the collective bargaining agreement and Honduran law by refusing to share information with the union about policy changes at the factory that affect workers.
In the words of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), "Being a trade unionist...implies major risks in the Honduras of today."[23] Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world[24] and groups such as the European Union and Amnesty International have documented a disturbing rate of targeted murders, assaults, and rapes against human rights defenders, including labor union leaders and activists.[22]
In addition to the explicit threats described above, union leaders alleged that had been subjected to repeated threats of violence, including death threats.[22][25]
WRC Report: Stealing from the Poor: Wage Theft in the Haitian Apparel Industry[edit]
Gildan Activewear (along with other top t-shirt manufacturers like Gildan and Hanes) is named as one of the main culprits in a Worker Rights Consortium report released in October 2013.[26] The document details the working conditions and prevalent wage theft in the garment industry in the Republic of Haiti, a country victim of the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake. This report, titled "Stealing from the Poor: Wage Theft in the Haitian Apparel Industry," highlights the fact that the "average wages are even lower at the new Caracol Industrial Park despite the fact that the project was heavily subsidized by the United States government with earthquake recovery aid as a means of providing Haitian workers with a path out of poverty."[27]
Legal disputes[edit]
2001 - Stolen Fruit of the Loom strategic confidential documents[edit]
In April 2001, one of Gildan's competitors, Fruit of the Loom (FTL), launched a lawsuit, alleging that Gildan had stolen its top-secret strategic document "Plan Sew" and had hired away key executives to gain unfair competitive advantage. FTL was on the defensive after its poor performance in an ongoing pricing war initiated by the arrival of Gildan in the US marketplace in 1997. By the end of 1999, FTL had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US. The lawsuit was subsequently stayed by mutual agreement between the two companies. Gildan even attempted to buy out the faltering company, but Fruit of the Loom was eventually purchased by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.[28]
2012 - Gildan rebranded FOL product to land the Dollar General Business[edit]
After replacing Russell Brands, an affiliate of Fruit of the Loom, as a supplier of men's and boys' fleece shirts to Dollar General, Gildan was sued for trademark infringement and unfair competition. The Company allegedly switched the labels on its Jerzees' brand clothing to its own Gildan label. As part of winning the contract to supply Dollar General with Gildan's Smart Basics label, Gildan was required to buy roughly $1 million worth of Jerzees' inventory. Gildan says about $100,000 worth of Russell Brands Jerzees' clothing carried by Dollar General was "inadvertently" relabeled and sold as Gildan brand clothing. In response, the company said it was taking all necessary steps to determine and avoid a repeat of the mix-up through its Chief Financial Officer, who also affirmed it was conducting an internal review to determine how the error occurred at one of its distribution centers in the United States, even if the value of the products was not material.

In 1994 Gildan became the first wholesale activewear manufacturer to obtain the Oeko-tex standard 100 Certification.[30] Oeko-Tex is a set of uniform safety standards within the textile industry; certification ensures that processes and final products have been tested for harmful substances and found to contain amounts lower than Oeko-Tex's set limits.
Gildan has its own Social Compliance Program designed to enforce humane standards for working conditions and labor practices.[31] Facilities, including those of external suppliers, are audited for compliance with Gildan's internal Code of Conduct and adherence to standards of the Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP).
Gildan was also the first basic activewear manufacturer to be accredited by the FLA. Audits are also performed to ensure compliance with standards of the Fair Labor Association (FLA).[32]
Gildan established medical clinics in its manufacturing facilities that offer free care to employees – for work related accidents as well as non-work related preventative care, including basic prenatal doctor's visits.[32] Maclean's Magazine cites this as a factor in naming Gildan to its list of Canada's 50 Best Corporate Citizens.[33][not in citation given]
In 2010-2011, Gildan purchased 85% of non-yarn supplies locally in Central America and 76.5% in the Caribbean Basin.[34]

The company launched "I Support...Charity" in 2010 in an effort to promote community involvement and employee participation in choosing the charities that received donations. According to a company press release, Gildan donated $200,000 to various charities as a part of the program in 2011.[14][not in citation given]
Homeboy Industries, which provides employment and services for at-risk and formerly gang-affiliated youth, received a donation of $100,000 as a result of Gildan's first "I Support... Charity" campaign.[35]
In 2011, the second year of the "I Support" program, Gildan added a new feature called Gildan Good Cards. The cards can be redeemed for a $50 donation to any 501(c)(3) charity and are given to employees who nominate a charity. The Good Cards have the effect of dispersing the company's philanthropic efforts; while only five nominated charities receive large donations, more than 90 charitable organizations benefitted from Good Card redemptions. The cards resulted in an extra $100,000 distributed among the 90+ additional philanthropies.[36]

Norton Mound Group, (also known as Norton Mound Site (20KT1) and Hopewell Indian Mounds Park), is a prehistoric Goodall Focus mounds site near Grand Rapids, Michigan.
According to the National Park Service's Statement of Significance: "These are the most important and best-preserved Hopewell mounds in the western Great Lakes region. The Norton Mound Group was the center of Hopewellian culture in that area, from ca. 400 B.C. to A.D. 400. Excavations in 1874 revealed numerous burials rich in grave offerings, and later excavations in 1963-1964 provided information on mound construction methods. At one time some 40 mounds were present, and though fewer than half remain today, these are well-preserved in a Grand Rapids city park."[2]
The site was listed on the Michigan Register of Historic Sites in 1957,[3] and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.[2][4]
According to the National Park Service, "Severe erosion, flooding, and nearby development threaten the Mound Group."[2]
"The Public Museum of Grand Rapids has been awarded funding to complete a Cultural Landscape Management Plan that will assess the site's condition. Public awareness of the NHL has increased due to ongoing development of the Millennium Park."[2]
That plan was completed in February, 2007.
The site is located between Indian Mounds Drive and Interstate 196 near Grand Rapids.[2]
The Norton Mounds site is currently closed to the public.[3]

Although the Science of Cocktails event may be on hiatus next year due to the Exploratorium's big move to the Embarcadero, this year's party is worth highlighting. Attending since the inaugural event three years ago (check out my previous review here), I enjoy Science of Cocktails more each year.
I'm not sure if the new VIP area added much other than a bird's-eye view from above with a few additional (but minimal) bites and drinks, the bulk of food being downstairs. Options were more enticing than ever in the ideal museum space, where one can interact with exhibits, kid-free, cocktails in hand. The cavernous space easily holds hundreds of people without feeling packed.
Drinks were poured by some of the Bay's best bartenders and distillers, sporting white lab-coats, delivering concoctions from test tubes, beakers and hand-crafted contraptions. Cocktails were served in pre-bottled, liquid nitrogen, jello, even powdered forms. (Let us not forget the shiny, porcelain toilet spouting Speakeasy beer).

Comments about Fruit Of The Earth Aloe Vera Cool Blue Aloe Mist Continuous Spray, Cool Breeze Large Blue 30 x 36, 6 oz:
Trying to save money, I bought this no-name brand rather than tried and true Solarcaine. It was a total waste of money. I bought two cans of Fruit Of The Earth Aloe Vera Cool Blue Aloe Mist. Neither one worked at all. The spray simply does not come out. Both cans had to be discarded with 99.9% of contents unused.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Who is the next coach in Boston? Maybe Shaw, Frank or McMillan. Not Antoine Walker.
Jun 24, 2013, 1:28 PM EDT
Boston did well in getting compensation for Doc Rivers's move — it was clear in the next year or two he was gone anyway (he wanted no part of the coming rebuild). Boston got a first round pick and a graceful exit from the situation. Well played. (Now look for them to trade Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, but not to the Clippers.)
So who steps into Rivers chair for the rebuild in Boston?
A few names have come up early on according to the Boston Globe, including a couple of the hottest names on the coaching market.
The pool of candidates is shallow at this point in the offseason, but league sources made early suggestions such as Brian Shaw, Lawrence Frank, and Nate McMillan, among others.
"I think they do have to go young, and Danny [Ainge] is going to want to look like a genius," a league source said. "Brian Shaw is what I think they'd hire, but I don't know. Danny might go outside the box a little."
Shaw is in the running for the Denver Nuggets job as well, and had been one of the leading candidates for the Clippers job until the Rivers compensation was figured out. He's one of the top assistants out there, having been on the bench next to Phil Jackson for years, then he spent the last two years as under Frank Vogel helping develop the Indiana Pacers.
But Shaw wanted to ideally land in a spot he could win now; the Celtics are a multi-year rebuilding project. That said, Shaw was drafted by the Celtics and may wish to return. The number of coaching vacancies out there is closing up.
Another name mentioned is Heat assistant David Fizdale, who is well respected around the league. There had been some Vinny Del Negro buzz, but I heard not to bet on that.
Then there was this tweet from former Celtics Antoine Walker.
Sure, the team would improve its shimmy… but no.

Did he do his little shake after that?
- cantonbound13 - Jun 24, 2013 at 1:45 PM
What happened to this so called Heat family that takes care of their players? Walker won a title in Miami & contributed, why don't they get him a job in the "family"?
- kinggw - Jun 24, 2013 at 2:09 PM
Because he was only there for two years and was never truly a part of the Heat family. The Heat have plenty of assistant coaches like Keith Askins, Bob McAdoo and even Ron Rothstein who was the first coach of the Heat, who have been affiliated with the Heat since the 90's.
Walker has deeper ties with the C's, than he ever will with the Heat. Nice try.

Allergy Riders – bringing what's inside, out
You know when you hear about an idea and you wish you had thought of it… well that's exactly what I thought when I heard about Allergy Riders.
Allergy Riders is a fun and simple food labelling systems for those with dairy, gluten, egg and nut allergies as well as those who choose to eat vegan. The range consists of cupcake baking cups and food flags.
Personally, I get nervous when going to a function that they will place my 'special' food near everyone else's 'normal' food and therefore it will get accidentally eaten before I can get to it. I therefore probably look like a pig racing towards the food as soon as humanly possible. Allergy Riders' flags and baking cups are the perfect solution to this problem, enabling guests to easily identify their food.
Check out the selection on their website: http://www.allergyriders.com.au/ – unfortuantely they are currently only available in Australia.

'Melo calls New York the "ultimate dream." Doesn't say Brooklyn or Manhattan.
Jan 14, 2011, 11:15 PM EDT
This much has always been clear — Carmelo Anthony wants to play in New York, to come back home to the city he grew up in. He echoed that again to ESPN Friday.
"That's like the ultimate dream at the end of the day," Anthony said. "Who wouldn't want to go back home to play?"
But back home to Brooklyn and the Nets (with a layover in Newark), or to Manhattan with the Knicks?
"I don't know, I mean I can't really answer that question," Anthony said when asked where he wants to play next year. "It's tough for me to sit here and say, 'Oh, I want to play in New York' [or] 'Oh, I want to play in New Jersey' [or] 'Oh, I want to stay here in Denver.'"
It seems the Nuggets, Nets and Pistons are closing in on a deal that at its core would send Anthony along with Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton to New Jersey; send Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Anthony Morrow, some other players and a couple first-round picks to Denver; and give Detroit Troy Murphy and Johan Petro as well as some second-round picks. That's just the framework of a mammoth deal. In total, as many as 16 players could move. And if the Nuggets can find a
sucker someone to come in and take on the contract of Al Harrington, the deal could expand further.
The Knicks are not giving up on their ultimate dream of Anthony along side Amar'e Stoudemire. In the next couple weeks they are going to trade Anthony Randolph for a first round pick, according to Chris Broussard at ESPN. While the Knicks say they are going to do that to facilitate other moves regardless of what happens with Anthony, he remains the first option. And the second. And third.
Anthony has the ultimate hammer — if he ignores the pressure from everyone and decides he won't sign an extension with the Nets, that house of cards falls and he will end up a Knick one way or another. If he wants to be the man for the soon-to-be other New York team, the blockbuster goes through.
It just depends on really is his ultimate dream.

I remember watching this guy when he was a freshman @ Syracuse and they won the NCAA tournament – he was amazingly poised for a freshman, and I thought he would be a great pro.

Nuggets are probably going to wait until right before the trade deadline to make a deal. This way they can use him for as long as possible and still get what they want in a trade.
- johnjpileggi - Jan 15, 2011 at 4:49 PM
Carmello and the Nuggets are paying high stakes poker. A lock out and a new CBA may mean Anthony gives up millions if he waits. The Nuggets may end up with nothing, or make a pressured deal at the deadline, if they wait and hold out. Knicks are being intelligent in standing at and waiting.
- Fred - Jan 15, 2011 at 4:58 PM
Kurt, I thought you made a great point about the extent to which his agent could be driving the deal. I think, though, that Carmelo really wants to be in NYC, and he's experienced and savvy enough that if the people he's talking to — A'mare and who knows who else within the organization — are telling him the Knicks want him, he'll make it happen.

Re: command line arguments 7167 MDK10.1
Thanks that was a great help. I have done everything you mentioned before including the kernel source in the MMC apart from using urpmi, so I installed the kernel source with urpmi as suggested, and the installer gets past the previous block and tries to compile it's own kernel module, why this makes a difference opposed to the MMC I don't know...
However, I am now recieving a different error:
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This is most likely
because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the
'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source
files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
'--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
-> Kernel module load error: insmod: error inserting './usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko':
I have seen this same message on another thread:
And as a result have been through every variation on there.
I had no problems with the previous release, and there is absolutely no difference in the way I reinstalled MDK 10.1
I now note that there are another set of drivers available since I first posted this, apparently purporting to fix some installation problems.
I will download them and see if they do address the issues that are stopping me from being able to do such a simple installation.

Worker killed at Total Petrochemicals plant
August 15, 2012
PORT ARTHUR, Texas — A 65-year-old contractor was killed Tuesday at the Total Petrochemicals & Refining Inc. plant in Port Arthur, Texas, when he became trapped as he was digging a fire water distribution trench, orangeleader.com reported.
The man was performing construction at the plant on behalf of Mason Construction.
He was rushed to Christus St. Mary Hospital where medical staff pronounced him dead.
The man's name has not been released pending family notification.
"The person in question was a good employee," said Chad Mason, vice president of administration at Mason Construction. "He had been with the company for 30 years."
An investigation into the incident is ongoing, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

Six Month Leave
Episode Reviews (3)
Freddy wets himself.
This episode started off slow, but things eventually picked up at the end. Betty Draper is boring and this storyline needs to end or get less focus immediately. When Freddy, Sterling and Don were hanging out on the town we saw some excellent chemistry and character development. Finally somebody punched Jimmy Barrett in the face, the one thing we've been waiting for for weeks.
Vincent Kartheiser is still underutilized, but at least he got some screen time here. We saw a much more malicious and cold-hearted Pete Campbell, but at the same time the humorous man we've come to expect from him.
MM did not deserve the Emmy for Outstanding drama and might win it again next year, but there are several shows far superior than this. Still, this was a fine offering from the AMC series.moreless
surprisingly simple episode after several big episodes. Freddy gets sacked. Peggy moves up in the office.
Don is living in a motel and it doesn't look like he will be getting back with his wife anytime soon as she is not very forgiving after his affair.
The main story was Freddy getting fired after passing out and wetting himself after being drunk in the office. Don fought the firing as Freddy's "mistake" obviously mirrored his at home, and by seeking to get others in the office to forgive him, he was trying to forgive himself for the affair.
Freddy was obviously very well liked and he certainly got the best firing anyone could hope for. He got full pay for six months and strerling and don took him out for a night on the town.
It looked like Betty might be unfaithful, but the show surprised us by her "cheating by proxy" as she set up her married neighbor with a guy from the stables. She asked him to lunch she was having with her neighbor, and then didn't show. She knew her neighbor liked the guy and was hoping nature took its course as it were. The main point of this was for Betty, who was straight laced about marrage, to encourage adultary in her neighbor was a big act of rebellion as to her prior beliefs.
Peggy got Freddy's accounts, so she is moving up in the world. She got an eye opener as she did not want a promotion based on Freddy getting the ax, but both Pete and Don told her that is the way it is in business.
Sterling left his wife for Don's secretary, as his helping out the secretary in a previous episode showed he took advantage of the situation, as everyone knew he would.
Marilyn Monroe also passed away, which was the first big cultural shock of the sixties. The women in the office took it very hard, which showed the power icons had at that time. Loved the comment by the african american elevator guy about how some people hide in the open. Sort of like blacks in the early sixties. Sterling tells don another firm just hired a black guy, so things in the world are changing.moreless
This was terrifying, like a walk along a ledge on the 16th floor.
First off, I thought Freddy was having a damn' stroke. And I thought Pete was such a child about making sure everyone in the office knew, and I thought all of their reactions (except Don's and Peggy's) were truly immature.
Jane was presumptuous, talking about stuff she doesn't know and buying Don shirts. Jane has now gotten fired twice, once by Joan and now by Don. I wonder if they'll actually have to throw her from a window.
I loved the Jimmy scene. Don's cheating on his wife, and with another man's wife, yes, bad, awful. But Jimmy's suspicions and his big mouth disrupted the illusion and poisoned Don's marriage, and hurt his family. Now Betty's even trying to break into his desk. My G-d, the lives of housewives in this show. Don and Betty were just hissing acid.
I had an image of Betty taking over as Don's secretary. Fireworks, no? It could set Sterling-Cooper ablaze.
Mostly I felt like that whole midlife crisis thing was a bizarre excuse Sterling dropped on Don's shoulders, and Maureen (?) blaming him for Sterling's latest bombshell was just blaming the window for the sunshine.
The relationships in this show are so delicately developed it's insane!moreless

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 30 min

Ready for part 2? Here we go:
So a couple of days ago i decided it was time to start a Tamagotchi. I sorted through my collection and debated between my TMGO and Music Star. My TMGO won so i popped some batteries into it and pressed Download to see if I had anything worth keeping. After a beep, a cute little Gozarutchi appeared on the screen!! I decided to name him Ninja.. suits him doesn't it? Anyways, I checked his stats and noticed he was on 15th Gen! I decided I should keep him since he's on such a high generation. (BTW sorry if the second pic is backwards.. that's my webcams fault XD). I also noticed he is 5 years old, which means he is due to mate soon! Maybe tomorrow. I can't actually say when since I have being a naughty mother and I paused him for a little while yesterday because I was busy... But hopefully he will mate in the next couple of days! I think I want a girl for 16th Gen
That's all the pictures I have for now, but i can say that I have taken Ninja to the park several times now and he has met up with a Makiko, Tarakotchi and a Memetchi! We also went to Ringotchi's Sweet Shop and ordered the Coffee Cake for 1000GP. I think Ninja really enjoyed it!
That's all from me today! Be back tomorrow afternoon with a new update and maybe some pictures of Ninja Mating??? See you guys tomorrow!
Love: Sakura-san123 and Ninja <3
PS: Sorry for the no pictures, it's playing up a little bit. But hopefully it will be all good by tomorrow! Fingers crossed.
