OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 01/16/14 -- International Datacasting Corporation (TSX:IDC) ("IDC" or the "Company") today released an update on the Company's expected performance for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, as well as the progress achieved against the action plan resulting from the Company's strategic review conducted in the second half of Fiscal 2014.
For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, IDC continues to expect operating results to be improved relative to the third quarter. Revenues remain soft relative to historical levels, and the Company expects to incur an operating loss for the quarter and for the full Fiscal year. Inventory levels are stabilizing as IDC has adjusted production levels according to demand, and good progress is being made in collecting outstanding receivables.
Regarding the action plan detailed in the Management Discussion and Analysis released in early December 2013, the following progress has been achieved.
-- Sales: New processes introduced in Q4 are increasing forecast accuracy and tracking progress of deals towards closure. The first shipments of STAR Gen-2 were achieved during Fiscal Q4. As previously announced, updated LASER software is planned to be available for sale starting in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015. -- Products: Hardware design has been completed for the first deliverables of IDC's new product architecture, and key elements of the software are being prototyped in order to validate their design. Updated products are expected to be available for demonstration by the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, with the potential for volume shipments before the end of Fiscal 2015. -- Leadership: Steven Archambault and Steeve Huin, IDC's new Chief Financial Officer and Vice-President of Product Management, respectively, started in their roles in December 2013, completing the leadership team restructuring announced last month. -- Quality: Focussed attention to field issues has resulted in full customer acceptance of a major network upgrade delivered to a European customer in Fiscal 2013, and in collection of the outstanding receivable associated with that delivery. -- Cost reduction: IDC has initiated a number of actions to control costs and conserve working capital. These actions focus on reducing product costs, discretionary expenses, and overheads, as opposed to cutting needed investments in R&D and Sales.
During the first half of Fiscal 2015, IDC plans to offer employees the opportunity to exchange a percentage of regular base salary for IDC Shares. This will reduce cash compensation requirements in this period, as well as increasing alignment of employee and shareholder interests. We are pleased to report that all members of the IDC executive team have expressed their intent to participate in the program, which the Company plans to offer to all full-time employees worldwide.
Commenting on the progress achieved on the Company's action plan, IDC's President and CEO Doug Lowther stated, "The actions we're taking are intended to not only improve IDC's short-term results, but also to put in place solid foundations for more robust and predictable performance in the future. We believe that IDC has the technology, the people, and the customers to achieve progressive improvement in results over Fiscal 2015."
The disclosure in this news release has been reviewed and approved by IDC's Board of Directors and is based on information available to the Company as of the date of this release.
Upcoming Shareholder Communications
IDC plans to announce Q4 and full-year Fiscal 2014 results, and to provide a further update on the Company's performance and business outlook, during the first week of April 2014 (three weeks earlier than last year's results announcement). A public conference call will be held at that time to permit investors and analysts to ask questions of IDC's management.

Forward-Looking Statements:
This press release contains certain information that constitutes "forward-looking information" and/or "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws, including statements regarding the Company's expectations with respect to operating results for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014 and incurring an operating loss for the fourth quarter and for the full Fiscal year, management's beliefs with respect to results in the next Fiscal year and the Company's plans with respect to further shareholder communications. All forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The material assumptions used to develop the forward looking-statements made in this release include management's perceptions of current conditions and expected future developments, management's knowledge of the current credit, interest rate and liquidity conditions affecting the Company as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances.
All statements other than statements which are reporting results as well as statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements that may involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors; many of which are beyond the ability of IDC to control or predict.
Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "may", "will", "should", "continue", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "intend", "plan or "project" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. The Company considers the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements contained in this release are based to be reasonable, based on information currently available to it, but there can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Risk factors that might cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: competitive developments; expectations regarding new product initiatives and timing, including the STAR Pro Audio(TM) Solution, LASER(TM) Targeted Ad Insertion Platform and Digital Tattoo(TM) DTH Over IP Gateway; IDC's dependence on the development and growth of the satellite services market; a lengthy and variable sales cycle for IDC's products and services; IDC's reliance on a small number of customers for a large percentage of its revenue; and expectations with respect to the sufficiency of its financial resources and liquidity. Further, any incorrect identification of, or failure or delay in identifying, areas that require attention in IDC's business as part of the Company's strategic review, or inability to successfully address areas requiring increased focus in accordance with IDC's action plan, could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial conditions, and results of operations as well as other key indicators.
More detailed information about potential factors that could affect IDC's financial and business results and the material assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based is included in the public documents IDC files from time to time with Canadian securities regulatory authorities (including, without limitation, IDC's Fiscal 2013 MD&A dated April 29, 2013 and Q3 Fiscal 2014 MD&A dated December 10, 2013) and which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Except as expressly required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Culture Challenge of the Week: Wrong Turns
The news coverage of Chuck Colson's recent death betrayed our secular culture's continuing discomfort with God's power to transform hearts and lives. Colson, "born again" to a life of profound Christianity on the heels of his Watergate disgrace, founded Prison Fellowship Ministries, a life-changing ministry to prisoners and their families. He spent his life messaging the need for personal and cultural transformation in the face of sin, urging Christians to embrace and live by an authentic Christian worldview.
But our secular culture—which denies the reality of sin and the need for redemption—tripped all over itself trying to explain Colson's life without affirming the truth that changed him.
Some headlines focused on Colson's role in the Watergate scandal and reported the death of Richard Nixon's "Hatchet Man." Other coverage framed his life in political terms, describing how "what he called his religious awakening," led to his leadership in the "evangelical political movement" and his attempts to push "religion-based policies in government." Earlier coverage of his life and work often smacked of similar themes: that his ministry was a second career or that his life was "less a life redeemed than a life reframed," now by "attacks … in the name of God."
Second career? Political strategist fueled by a new passion? Such characterizations are tragic, because they deny the powerful truth that became the central message of Colson's life: There is redemption and restoration in Christ for anyone who seeks Him. Anyone.

Encourage people not to work here. Oh wait, you already do that.

The aim of this study was to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) porous chitosan/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) hydrogels with improved mechanical properties for tissue engineering applications. A modified emulsion lyophilisation technique was developed to produce 3D chitosan/PCL hydrogels. The addition of 25 and 50 wt% of PCL into chitosan substantially enhanced the compressive strength of composite hydrogel 160 and 290%, respectively, compared to pure chitosan hydrogel. The result of ATR–FTIR imaging corroborated that PCL and chitosan were well mixed and physically co-existed in the composite structures. The composite hydrogels were constructed of homogenous structure with average pore size of 59.7 ± 14 μm and finer pores with average size of 4.4 ± 2 μm on the wall of these larger pores. The SEM and confocal laser scanning microscopy images confirmed that fibroblast cells were attached and proliferated on the 3D structure of these composite hydrogels. The composite hydrogels acquired in this study possessed homogeneous porous structure with improved mechanical strength and integrity. They may have a high potential for the production of 3D hydrogels for tissue engineering applications.

Oil: A Love Story tonight
(Photo by quinn.anya)
The evening features four interactive lectures on the subject of oil.
The first talk, "Oil Science Theater" will include a screening of oil-promo films from the 1950s. Are they hilarious? Or do they hit a little too close to home? Ah, the honeymoon phase is always the sweetest.
The second talk will feature videos of famous people driving cars from movies and documentaries, and will debate how we subconsciously link the vehicles we drive with our identity.
The third talk connects oil with the American identity and way of life, from how we view freedom to thousands of gas stations that speckle our daily landscape, and the final talk contemplates a world we where don't guzzle gas like high fructose corn syrup.
The evening will also include games, audience participation, and open discussions on our past, present, and future with oil. Beer and wine will be available for purchase.
The evening runs from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. this Thursday at Intermedia Arts (2822 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis). The event is free. For more info, visit solutionstwincities.org/event.htm.

It's the middle of January already and most people are curled up under a blanket by the fire, trying to keep warm. I, however, live in Florida where it's (relatively) warm and I'm putting together this #Meme15 post. #Meme15 is a blog series thought up by Jason Strate (blog | twitter) that gives us a place to discuss a common topic and how that topic affects us personally.
This month, we have been tasked with answering one, or both, of these two questions:
1. Why should average Jane or Joe professional consider using twitter?
2. What benefit have you seen in your career because of twitter?
Well, I joined Twitter back in 2009 and was basically using it to follow people that I thought were interesting (@SteveWoz, @LanceArmstrong, etc). You know – the way the rest of the world uses Twitter. I was looking to get more and more involved in the SQL community and Brent Ozar (blog | twitter) told me to look at connecting with SQL people on Twitter. I was sceptical at first because I wasn't sure what SQL people tweeted about apart from how big their database was and how many times they had to shrink it per week. Boy, was I wrong. I quickly got connected with some very smart people who were friendly and helpful. I attended many SQL Saturdays and started meeting these people in real life and built up some great friendships within the community.
In 2011 I was fortunate to be able to go on the second SQL Cruise (blog | twitter) and had an absolute blast. If ever anyone feels like taking a great learning vacation, SQL Cruise is the way to go. I feel that the experience was enhanced due to the Twitter friends that I had made.
I returned from the cruise refreshed and a little bit smarter. Not long after that, I received a job offer from Pragmatic Works Consulting. I'd been discussing the opportunity with them for a few months by then and the time had come for me to take the next step in my career. I am currently involved in authoring the upcoming Professional SQL Server 2012 Administration book. I am also currently putting together a 4-day SQL Server 2012 training class and will be recording the class for SSWUG in the near future. I will also be presenting the material at SQL events around the country. The success that I enjoy is due, in part, to the help and support I have found from the SQL people I interact with on Twitter. Thank you to all those people from the bottom of my heart.
To some people, Twitter may just be a place where they can find out when and where celebrities are having lunch. To me, it is a network of like-minded individuals that interact with each other for the greater good of the community. Even if it's mostly about bacon.

NIST Cloud Computing Twiki Launched
Today NIST began sending users their credentials for their Cloud Computing twiki, of which Kevin Jackson was one of the first to be granted access. The intent of the NIST working group is to promote cloud computing adoption and overcome the current perceived barriers of security, interoperability and portability.
Currently NIST will run mailing lists on the following subjects related to Cloud Computing:
- Business Use Cases
- Reference Architecture
- Taxonomy
- Security
- Standards
NIST Cloud Computing stated goals:
The long term goal is to provide thought leadership and guidance around the cloud computing paradigm to catalyze its use within industry and government. NIST aims to shorten the adoption cycle, which will enable near-term cost savings and increased ability to quickly create and deploy enterprise applications. NIST aims to foster cloud computing systems and practices that support interoperability, portability, and security requirements that are appropriate and achievable for important usage scenarios.
The NIST definition of Cloud Computing encapsulates 5 essential characteristics
- On-Demand Self-Service
- Broad Network Access
- Resource Pooling
- Rapid Elasticity
- Measured Service
With three service models:
- IaaS - Infrastructure-as-a-Service
- PaaS - Platform-as-a-Service
- SaaS - Software-as-a-Service
Interested developers and architects are encouraged to participate.

Institute on Religious Life Launches New Website
Catholic PRWire
CHICAGO, IL (March 25, 2014) - The Institute on Religious Life today launched a completely redesigned website at www.ReligiousLife.com. The new site is more dynamic and user friendly, houses a great resource of information, and provides expanded audio and video features.
"All of the changes are intended to convey a better sense of our mission and who we are as an organization," said Michael D. Wick, executive director of the IRL. "We are so happy to launch our new website during the IRL's 40th anniversary and as the Church prepares to celebrate the Year of Consecrated Life which Pope Francis declared to begin this October."
The new site was made possible by a grant from Our Sunday Visitor Institute. It was designed by Solutio Software�of Cheney, Kansas.
"The site will be a great help to young Catholics who wish to know more or are considering the priestly or religious life, something very much needed in our times. And it will connect them to faithful institutes of consecrated life. The VocationSearch database is terrific for learning about the IRL's 160-plus affiliate communities," said M. Kathleen O'Brien, IRL director of operations. "We believe it is the premier Catholic vocations information portal--a 'one-stop shopping' experience for those who are sincerely discerning their vocation or seeking resources to promote and pray for vocations. From its 8-day 'virtual' discernment retreats, to the new Religious Life e-magazine, to vocation prayer leaflets for distribution among family, friends or parishioners, the new site offers all kinds of resources for building up the consecrated life."
The site has in-depth reflections on the consecrated life, print and audio, including meditations by the IRL's founder, Servant of God Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., and talks given by IRL national director Fr. Thomas Nelson, O.Praem. The home page photo rotation features IRL affiliates, as well as real-time entries from the IRL's "Vocation Blog" and a listing of scheduled events.
Young people who are serious about discernment can sign up for the free "Speak Lord" audio download of the month club or find out about upcoming "Come & See" vocation retreats. "Young people need catechesis and direction to be able to discern the Lord's calling for their lives and the IRL wishes to provide helpful resources that will allow them to discern God's will," notes Father Nelson.
The Institute on Religious Life was founded in 1974 by Servant of God Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J. Early supporters included Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Ven. Fulton J. Sheen. Its mission is to promote and support the consecrated life as a gift to the Church and an evangelical witness to the world.

Eli Young Band Begins Next Phase of Their Evolution with New EP, "Turn It On"
Image Courtesy Republic NashvilleEli Young Band's new EP, Turn It On, is now available at all digital outlets, and the title track is already making a big impression at country radio. The guys wrote the song on their tour bus and recorded it in January, and say they knew they were on to something good when they hit the studio.
Eli Young Band's Jon Jones tells ABC Radio, "It was just sounding fresh and new. The label was really, really enthusiastic and excited about it and wanted us to release the music really quickly to radio."
The new EP features three other songs besides "Turn It On," and the band's lead singer, Mike Eli, thinks the project gives fans a good idea of where they're headed musically.
"We've always been constantly evolving," Mike explains. "The music on the EP, it's going to set the tone for the kind of music we're going to continue to make."
The Turn It On EP also includes the new tracks "Plastic," "Your Place or Mine" and "Drink You Up."

Miranda Lambert Debuts Flirty New Video for "Little Red Wagon"
Image Courtesy Sony/Reid LongMiranda Lambert's new video for "Little Red Wagon" is out. The clip features the singer looking quite stunning as she checks into a desert motel and charms the staff, including a pretty and shirtless pool boy. In the end, Miranda walks away from the guy with a wink while wearing a blinged-out belt that says "Mrs. Shelton."
Miranda found "Little Red Wagon" when a friend told her to check out an album by Oklahoma-based artist, Audra Mae, who wrote the song. Once she heard Audra Mae's version of "Little Red Wagon" on that album, Miranda immediately set out to get in touch with Audra through some mutual songwriter friends.
Miranda says, "I really did my P.I. homework. I finally got in touch with her, and we became friends and wrote a couple times together."
After a few writing sessions, Miranda finally got the courage to ask Audra Mae if she could record "Little Red Wagon." Audra said yes and ended up singing background vocals on the song, too. "Little Red Wagon" has since become a cornerstone of Miranda's concert set list.
She adds, "It just felt like me -- just felt like a song that I wish I'd have written."
"Little Red Wagon" is the latest single from Miranda's current album, Platinum.

We really enjoyed staying at Philippe's apartment! Philippe was very helpful and waited for our late arrival.
Everything was as expected and the location couldn't have been better. Everything is walking distance and you are really in the middle of it all. We came for the Ironman Nice so we had a bit of heavy work carrying the bike case all the way up and down to the 3rd floor. The streets can get a bit loud at night but I guess that's part of the atmosphere. Apart from that it was a great experience and we liked it very much.
Die Einzimmerwohnung überzeugt vor allem durch ihre zentrale Lage in der Altstadt. Deshalb nimmt man auch die Treppen in den vierten Stock gerne in Kauf. Die vier Tage haben uns gut gefallen.
My boyfriend and I stayed in Phillipe's studio appartment for 4 nights last week. The location is absolutely perfect. It is easy to walk to the Old Town, the beach, the local markets, etc. within minutes. The place itself was very modern and clean. Everything you need for 2 people. Kitchen supplies, washing machine, fan, and beach mats are all provided. Phillipe was a kind host and we would enjoy staying here again if we are ever back in Nice! Thank you!
Philippe was not in Nice at the same time, but his friend Bertrand organised our stay and was helpful. The apartment itself is a good size and well equipped as advertised. The best thing about the apartment is its location, right in the middle of the Old Town. We were within walking distance to all the activity including bars, restaurants, tourist attractions and most importantly the beach. The apartment also had beach mats provided (which you'll need on the pebble beaches).
The only major downside on our stay was that the cold water stopped working due to showerhead issues, which took a couple of days to fix (though Bertrand did offer to fix it as soon as he found out). If you're a light sleepy it may be a bit uncomfortable at night because you can hear quite a lot from the window, and there is a garbage depot nearby which gets a bit noisy.
In summary, we felt the location of the apartment was good enough to recommend this place to others!
Tolles Studio mitten in der Altstadt von Nizza. An und abreise hat perfekt geklappt. Sehr Gastfreundlich und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Vielen dank Philippe
We stayed in this apartment for a week in Nice and had an amazing time! The location is perfect- right in the heart of old town with tons of shops and restaurants nearby, and maybe a 5 minute walk from the many beaches. It is on the top floor so there are a few stairs, but we never had a problem with it. The kitchen was fully equipped and the bathroom, while a little small by American standards, was very nice and clean. The wifi worked great and I really can't say anything bad about the place. Before checking in, our flight was delayed and we had spotty cell service so we weren't able to communicate very well with Phillippe as to when we would arrive. However, he was very accommodating and it all worked out in the end. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
Tout c'est bien passé. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour un agréable séjour au studio.
La communication avec Philippe a été parfaite.
Tutto perfetto. C'è tutto cio' di cui si ha bisogno per un soggiorno a Nizza.
Philippe è un host perfetto.

About the Host, Philippe
Frenchman who has lived 20 years abroad and speaks 4 languages. I Love to travel to sunny destinations and discover new cultures, so renting out to people from all over the world is a dream to me!
I know Nice and the French Riviera extensively so don't hesitate to ask me anything about the area.

A sea generally refers to a large body of salt water, but the term is used in other contexts as well. Most commonly, it means a large expanse of saline water connected with an ocean, and is commonly used as a synonym for ocean. It is also used sometimes to describe a large saline lake that lacks a natural outlet, such as the Caspian Sea.
Arctic (belonging to the Arctic Ocean) and Antarctic (Southern Ocean) seas, as well as some other seas freeze in winter. This occurs below the freezing point of pure water, at about -1.8 °C (28.8 °F). Frozen salt water becomes sea ice.
Humans navigated seas from antiquity. Ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians navigated the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Hannu was the first see explorer of whom there is any information. He sailed along the Red Sea and further to the Arabian Peninsula and the African Coast around 2750 BC. In the 1st millennium BC, Phoenicians and Greeks established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including its outlets like the Black Sea. The seas along the eastern and the southern Asian coast were used by Arabs and Chinese for navigation, and the North Sea and the Baltic Sea were known to Europeans in Roman times. Other seas were not used for navigation in the antiquity and were actually discovered.

Juan Nicasio "will have no limitations" after broken neck
Feb 16, 2012, 2:40 PM EDT
Juan Nicasio's recovery from a broken neck has gone so well that he "will have no limitations this spring," according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post.
Rockies manager Jim Tracy told Renck that Nicasio "has a very, very good chance to be a member of our rotation" and "is coming into camp with the mindset that he's making the team."
Colorado has plenty of young rotation options, so Nicasio will definitely have to pitch his way into a starting role, but the fact that he's simply in the mix is pretty remarkable just seven months after a line drive to the head left him with a fractured C-1 vertebrae.
Prior to the scary injury Nicasio made 13 starts with a 4.14 ERA and 58/18 K/BB ratio in 72 innings as a 24-year-old rookie making the jump directly from Double-A, and his minor-league track record includes a 3.40 ERA and fantastic 467/104 K/BB ratio in 471 innings.
- mjay424 - Feb 16, 2012 at 3:50 PM
If healthy of body, confident of mind, Juan Nicasio has the game to really help the Rockies. He'll still be getting a feel of MLB hitters but he has no. 4 starter-type quality. He limits walks, can get outs by himself (strikeouts) and limits home runs. He'll have to prove less hittable than his minor league numbers to improve his stock but the Rockies could use his arm and talent.

Internet radio for iPod touch
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I have just purchased my second iPod touch 16GB. The iPod works okay and I can do all the Internet stuff, etc. One thing I can't work out, however, is how I set the iPod up to be able to listen to live internet web radio (Norwegian Radio Broadcast). Believe it or not but here in Kosovo city Pristina, where I am working we have Wi-Fi all over town. Unfortunately I was unable to find the solution in your Free iPod book 3.33 or Ask iLounge
- Ove
A: The iPod touch does not natively support Internet radio, however this feature can be easily added through any of several third-party applications from the iTunes App Store. Some of these applications are free, while others may cost you a couple of bucks.
Our Free iPod Book pre-dates the launch of the iTunes App Store, however our 2009 iPod + iPhone Buyers' Guide includes a round-up of the top 100 applications for the iPhone and iPod touch, including three Internet radio applications.
Also be sure to check out our article, iPhone Gems: 12 Internet Radio Apps for iPhone + iPod touch for a round-up of most of the Internet radio apps available from the iTunes App Store.
Note that many of the Internet radio apps are designed to deliver content from specific providers, however. If you're looking for an application that will allow you to "tune-in" to any radio station, you'll want to check out either VisuaMobile's allRadio ($1) or Nullriver's Tuner Internet Radio ($6), both of which allow you to add in any compatible radio station directly by entering its URL.

Historical Marker Commemorates Knox Drugstore Site
A historical marker now stands on the site of one of downtown Knox's first commercial structures. The Koffel Building at the corner of Main and Lake Streets was completed in 1891, a year before the city's streets were paved with brick, four years before municipal electrical service was offered and 17 years before city water was available. Starke County Economic Development Foundation Executive Director Charlie Weaver says drug stores were a vital part of a booming business district.
"Always in the drugstore the fountain was a big thing. From the very beginning there were tables where it was appropriate for the ladies to come in to have coffee, tea or a soft drink or whatever from the fountain. That became quite a social center in the day." Continue reading
