This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/205,885, filed Mar. 3, 1994, now abandoned.
The present invention relates generally to audio and video recording development, and, in particular, to methods and apparatus whereby audio and video programs from remote sites, including such programs recorded in different formats, may be compiled into a final program or a master and duplicated to produce an audio/video periodical or other applications.
Previous attempts to periodically publish video programs in accordance with a regular schedule have been hampered by the difficulty in producing the program master recordings and subsequently duplicating the required quantities of videotapes or discs quickly enough to permit timely distribution of the programs. Editing of the many segments is time-consuming and expensive, both in labor costs and also in equipment capital and operating costs. Often it may be necessary to produce the program master recording in only a few hours, and to duplicate the program overnight for delivery to the retail outlets while the information content is still current.
The present invention solves problems associated with the production of a program master recording by automating many of the time-consuming compilation and editing steps. According to the invention, the method of producing a master audio and/or video recording for duplication purposes includes the steps of receiving separate and/or combined audio clips and video images in digitally compressed form, including clips and images from remote sites. Text files associated with the audio clips and/or video images are also preferably received. At a master recording production facility, the compressed clips and images and any text files are stored until it is desired to produce a master, at which time the images are scan-converted into a single consistent video format. The scan-converted images and/or audio clips are then recorded onto a master medium which may then be duplicated for distribution purposes. As an alternative, the program may be replayed as many times as necessary to produce the required copies by conventional duplication means without the need for a separate master.
The invention may accommodate video and audio from a variety of sources 52 and in a variety of formats, with the program master recording or final presentation being assembled automatically by replaying the stored segments in a consistent output format and preferably in a predetermined sequence. A wide variety of consumer program distribution formats are also possible, including audio and video cassettes, audio and video discs of any format: magnetic, optical, or magnet-optical, Photo-CD's, or CD-ROM computer-based programs. Source materials 24 may also be drawn from any imaging format, including still-video images, motion video, scanned printed materials, computer graphical-based files, or animated graphics. To reduce storage requirements at the program master generation facility as the images are accumulated, and to allow the images to be transmitted from remote locations or other image-gathering means over conventional telephone lines, proprietary or public-domain data compression schemes, including the JPEG and MPEG formats, may be utilized for such transmissions. Other audio or audio/video based schemes may alternatively be used, including, for example, the ".WAV" format, the ".AVI" format, the "Quicktime" format associated with various PC-based multi-media platforms, or proprietary systems such as "MPower" for companies like Hewlett-Packard.
FIG. 1 is a flow diagram which illustrates apparatus and the method by which images may be captured for storage on a computer, both locally and also from remote sites;
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram which shows how images which have been captured and stored on a computer may be retrieved and displayed in a predetermined sequence as a program source for video duplication or to create a program master video recording; and
FIG. 3 is a video screen layout diagram which illustrates one possible display configuration for a video presentation.
The system by which video masters may be created will now be explained by reference to FIG. 1, which, for clarity, shows the procedures for capturing, collecting, storing, and sequentially displaying images captured by still-video cameras. It should be understood, however, that the procedures and apparatus are equally applicable to motion video images, which may be considered to be a series of still images transmitted at a particular frame rate. The system as described is also equally effective for producing master tapes or presentation for television systems other than NTSC, as, for example, those employing alternative frame rates, a different number of scan lines, or other aspect ratios, including European PAL or SECAM formats, any of the current of proposed HDTV formats (such as the SMPTE 240M Standard), or the various specialized frame rates and systems employed in medical, industrial or computer imaging applications. In addition, the source material 24 should be understood to include, but not be limited by, still-video cameras, live video cameras and camcorders, computer generated images, Photo-CD or CD-ROM images, images supplied as stored in any of the various formats for magnetic, optical, or magneto-optical media, images supplied on film to be scanned into the computer, and images scanned from hard-copy printed materials.
FIG. 1 assumes by example a personal-computer-based system which relies upon the use of an industry-standard still-video camera at step 2, such as those offered by Sony Corporation or Canon, Inc. These cameras record either field or full-frame analog signals divided into Y (Luminame) and time-compressed, line-sequential R-Y/B-Y (Chrominance or C) components, using 2″ magnetic floppy disks. This Y/R-Y/B-Y format uses frequency modulation (FM) techniques and frequencies identical to those employed in the Sony Betamm-SO format for videotape recording. In playback, these signals are converted into either a standard composite video signal or a conventional Y/C-3.58 format, as,.for example, used in S-VAS video recorders for NTSC. As an alternative, the 2′ floppy disks may be played back in a specially-designed disk-player at step 4, as supplied by one of the camera manufacturers or any of several other manufacturers of video equipment. This Y/C signal is then connected to the input of a video digitizer circuit board at step 6 installed in the personal computer, such as the model SV-PC manufactured by Canon, Inc.
The digitizer captures the video signal and converts it to a 24-bit color signal, in which each pixel is assigned eight bits for each of the R, G, and B components. As an alternative, the signal may be captured in an 8-bit or 16-bit "color-mapped" format. The operator of the computer has the option of including a visible caption at step 8 or other information in the image using, for example, the "Paintbrush' software sold by Z-Soft, Inc., or performing other image manipulations, such as color adjustments or "special-effects." The text for any captions, either included in the image itself or in an area adjacent to the image, may be added automatically by the computer at the time of display, either by including the caption information as part of the image data file itself, or in a separate, associated data file. In addition, customized "Windows" based software may be used to speed the data entry by providing a guided input structure.
At this stage, a full-screen VGA-format computer image will typically contain more than 300 KiloBytes (for 8-bit color) or more than 900 KiloBytes (for 24-bit color) of data. For active or motion video, and even for large collections of still images, this volume of data is impractical for conventional magnetic storage methods on the computer's hard-disk or other media, since the volume of data and data transfer rates required for extended periods of active video playback exceed those available in conventional media storage. Therefore, the practical application of this technology makes use of data compression, such as the industry-standard JPEG data compression scheme for still-video images, or the commercially available Leadview software offered by Lead Technologies, Inc. This compression at step 10 is performed by using special computer software, and results in a so-called "lossy" data compression to approximately 25 to 35 KiloBytes per image. Higher or lower compression ratios may be employed, depending on the particular nature of the image content and the intended usage of the images, and there is no requirement that all images use the same data compression method, or that they use the same data compression ratio. This compressed image is then stored on the hard-disk in a separate file at step 12. The computer operator then determines, at step 14, whether there are additional images to capture, and, if so, the procedure repeats the steps as just described.
Cameras 52 which record their images directly onto disks in a format which is compatible with either IBM-PC disks or Apple Macintosh disks are becoming available, as are those using internal memory storage or PCMCIA-compatible storage devices. Their use would eliminate the need for a separate disk-player, as either these disks would be playable in the computer itself or else the camera memory contents may be "downloaded" from the camera to the computer through input(output port facilities 58. As an additional feature, such cameras 52 are capable of recording the images 24 as compressed-data files (for example, JPEG), which would render the separate hardware and software steps 6 and 10 unnecessary. However, if captions or other image manipulations are desired, it will be necessary to perform the decompression step described below, followed by another data-compression step as described above, after the modifications are completed. A further explanation of how text information may be associated with video images is disclosed in reference to FIG. 3 below.
When all of the images and any associated text or image files have been stored, the image-capture process is complete. If this procedure has been carried out on the computer that will be used for the image playback, no further action is required at this time. However, if the image-capture process has been performed at a remote computer, it will be necessary to either store the compressed images and any associated text or image files on conventional floppy discs for physical transportation to the site of the main computer, or else transmit them by a modem at step 16, through a data link at step 18 (i.e., a telephone line) to the main computer at step 20. Because the data compression has reduced the image file size to approximately 25 to 35 KiloBytes, a conventional 14.4 kbps data link will allow remote transmissions at a rate of approximately three images per minute, though the exact transmission rate will depend on the image data compression ratio selected, and faster modems, or the use of dedicated data lines, could result in faster transmission rates. As an alternative, as ISDN line, with appropriate interface facilities at each end, will allow images to be transmitted from a remote site to the main computer at a rate of approximately 20 images per minute. Where other alternatives are unavailable, the camera floppy-disks may be physically transported to either a remote computer site, or to the main computer itself.
After all of the images and any associated text or image files have been collected, they may be replayed in a predetermined sequence. For this purpose, the sequence may be determined from a prepared list or "script," or more simply, by assigning the individual eight-character file names so that the images may simply be presented in "alphabetical order." To the computer, this means that the names are assigned with reference to the ASCII values of the characters in the file names. For example, there would be an "A" sequence consisting of all file names beginning with the character "A." Within the A-sequence, the files would be presented in order by the next character, and so on. On this basis, the characters 0 through 9 would precede the characters A through Z. For most PC-based systems, file names do not distinguish between upper-case and lower-case characters, but on some other computer systems and operating systems, the file names may be case-sensitive, such that the upper-case character "Z" precedes the lower character "a" in the alphabetical sequence. Custom software could then be used to instruct the computer to retrieve, decompress, and display the images in alphabetical order. The same type of process may be used to produce an "index" or "table of contents" list which may be printed out for reference use.
FIG. 2 shows the sequence of events relating to the playback of images. Images transmitted from remote computer systems are received via the modem at step 30, and stored on the main computer as remotely digitized images at step 32. In addition, there may be locally digitized images at step 34 which also have been stored directly onto the main computer hard-disk at step 36 by a process equivalent to that previously described in reference to FIG. 1. For the playback process, the images are retrieved at step 38 as data-compressed images and de-compressed at block 40 and loaded into the buffer of the video scan-converter display card at step 42 installed in the computer, manufactured by any of several sources, such as the HyperConverter scan-converter by PC Video Conversion Corp. The hardware and software of the video scan-converter display card convert the image to the desired video format. In this example the format is shown as NTSC video at step 44. To allow the recording of the best possible image at reasonable cost, the signal is recorded by one or more video recorders at step 46 in Y/C component format. At a higher cost, a full digital recording may be performed in RGB, composite, or component video format, or as any of several disc-based video or computer-graphics formats; lower cost recorders are available which record from composite video format.
A sound track of music, narration, or other audio may be added to the master recording from a source such as an analog or digital tape player or CD or mini-disc player at step 48. Alternatively, other video sources may be integrated into the recording. If the audio program materials have been collected and stored on the computer, or are stored as part of any combined audio/video format, they may be replayed by adding one of the commercially available sound plug-in boards, or by adding specialized hardware required for custom or proprietary audio and/or video formats. If desired, the operation of the recorder or players could optionally be controlled by the main computer through the RS-232 serial data port, using special software. The sequencing of the images continues at step 50 until the entire program has been displayed, a process that will require only as long as the program lasts; that is, the program is produced in real-time, such that a ninety-minute program would be completed in ninety minutes. In this manner, the master program recording for duplication of the programs onto tapes or discs will be available shortly after the last program material has been loaded onto the computer.
In practice, the length of the program is limited only by the amount of storage space available on the computer hard-disk. By adding storage devices utilizing removable media, the playing time may be "tended to any period desired, by simply exchanging the media as the program material is played back. Alternatively, extended playing times may be effected by switching between source materials stored on multiple computers, and directed to a single recording device. As the full-motion-video MPEG standards are finalized, it will be relatively straight-forward to adapt the equipment to work with MPEG files as well as JPEG or other data-compressed files, and such alternatives should be considered to be within the scope of this invention.
Once program materials are assembled it is possible to play back all or part of the program by transmitting it over telephone or cable communications links, much the same way as the image materials have been collected from remote sites. In this case, the inherent bi-directional nature of the communication link 56, 18 is exploited for those who desire to receive copies of the program material electronically, further enabling users to implement random-access control of the program material as if the program tape itself were physically located at the user location. For example, instead of fast-forwarding a videotape containing automobiles for sale to the section containing products of a particular manufacturer, the user simply calls for this specific product information, at which time the appropriate program material is transmitted 58 directly to the user, either as a video program or as the necessary compressed images and associated data files 24, from which the user may reproduce 52 the program locally. Alternatively, facilities may be provided to enable the user to scan through the program materials as a database, so that only user-selected products.
In yet another application of the invention, the main computer and associated scan-conversion facilities may be used as a direct source for playback during duplication. In this case, no program Master tape need be created, and the program presentation may be repeated as many times as necessary to complete the duplication process. In FIG. 2, the video recorder indicated as 46 would now represent a plurality of VTRs or duplication systems, thereby facilitating the copying of the program presentation in any distribution format desired.
One possible configuration for the screen display is shown in FIG. 3 generally at 100. A standard VGA-format screen having dimensions of 640 pixels (horizontal)�480 pixels (vertical) is preferably used, though, certainly other formats are equally applicable. Within the screen display is an image display area 102, shown with dimensions in pixels of 496�480. If a still video camera by Dyeam, Inc. is utilized, this image area will be completely filled by the camera output image; as an alternative, the area may contain one or more images from a variety of sources 24. A separate area 106 may be utilized to show product identification information, such as manufacturer name, manufacturer logo, or additional image information, and area 104 is designated for text information to describe the product. Associated text and image information is sequentially displayed, in accordance with the predetermined sequence, in which an image may correspond to any number of text files, or a text file may correspond to any number of images. A separate index counter displaying alphanumeric information at area 108 enables the viewer to locate individual products within the program. In order to assure that the "safe-action-area" for television displays is preserved, space has been left unused at the sides and bottom of the screen. As an example of a simple way to associate images with text files, a text file containing product description information to be displayed in the area designated 104 may be given a coded name. This name includes, for example, a particular letter in the name, from which the computer determines that it is to sequentially retrieve and display, in the area designated 102, the three similarly-named compressed image files with a related files designator. Further, a code at the beginning of the text file name may be used to designate product identification information or images (such as the manufacturer's name or logo) to be displayed in the designated area 106. In addition, a particular code in the text file name may be used to designate a particular product type within a particular classification. The index counter in this case might be a five-digit number, in which the first three digits were associated with the product identification information, and the last two digits with the particular product within that classification.
Examples of applications for this technology include advertising for such products as new or used automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, heavy equipment, and manufacturing equipment, used or damaged parts for various types of vehicles and industrial equipment, directories for professional and other services, real estate, video school yearbooks, product catalogs for furniture, appliances or the like, and personal or professional introduction and identification services.

Blue/White Postgame Quotes
April 13, 2013
Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Kentucky Head Coach Mark Stoops
COACH STOOPS: Thought it was a great night for the program. Really appreciate the fan support, just an unbelievable atmosphere. I thought the players played hard. Made some mistakes, but overall, pretty clean game. So, very excited.
Q. Re: Jalen Whitlow
COACH STOOPS: Jalen (Whitlow) did a nice job, he has that dimension to run the football and pull it down when something is not there and create. He did a nice job tonight. I was impressed with the way Jalen played.
Q. I know you knew the number (of tickets that) have been distributed but when you come through that catwalk and see that many people what does that tell you?
COACH STOOPS: I was amazed. You felt that, you heard these numbers for the past couple weeks, and you know, you never know who is going to show up. It was overwhelming. It was fantastic.
Our players really felt that, the energy of the catwalk. And just to see the stadium and they were energetic and into the game, it was a great feeling. So it really helps. It will help our program.
Q. They couldn't get many sacks because of no contact on the quarterbacks -- looks like you have something from the two ends (Dupree and Smith), what did you see from those two guys?
COACH STOOPS: Yeah, I thought so, as well, if it was a live game and we were live on the quarterbacks, I think they could have created some havoc. I thought they did a nice job, they are very active and have been very solid all spring.
Q. If you're going to have one solid building block up front --
COACH STOOPS: Absolutely, I do, I think you have to be physical up front on both sides of the ball. Been very pleased with both lines. You know, we know we need to get bigger and stronger, but that is a good foundation. I thought with Mister (Cobble) inside, he's very unselfish and you need to be very unselfish as an interior defensive lineman. So Mister doesn't get a lot of credit but he's very solid inside.
Q. What does that do?
COACH STOOPS: It does an awful lot, because if you can get some pressure with four guys, then you can put another guy in the coverage.
So that's a big part of it and also in the run game, if you can learn to play the run game without numbers all the time, then that helps your defense, as well.
Q. What about the other quarterbacks?
COACH STOOPS: Yeah, I thought we were solid again. You know, I have to go back and look at the film. It was really hard for me to tell but I thought each of them had their moments and were consistent. We need more playmakers around them, and so it's not always on the quarterbacks. It's on the other ten guys that are out there playing with them.
Q. Talking about Josh Clemons.
COACH STOOPS: He's done a nice job. He's been very solid and he's going to have a nice little wrinkle for us.
Q. How representative was the performance we saw tonight of the spring as a whole?
COACH STOOPS: Well, I don't think you saw our offense at its full strength. We are not -- as you split the teams, you water it down a little bit. Our tempo wasn't what it has been. And I think part of that is just numbers and being thin when we split up the teams. But when we get everybody together and get a full complement of players on the offensive side, they can mix up their personnel better and play at a higher tempo.
So we weren't as fast as we normally were.
Q. re: Ashely Lowery
COACH STOOPS: Yeah, I was pleased, I've been pleased with Ashley. He's coming along. I was standing back there in the secondary, saw him and just watching him and I like the way he's moving around and he's getting better each and every day.
Q. The playmakers you're talking about, having to get better --
COACH STOOPS: Well, it's both, it's both. We are going to work hard to get better with the guys that are here. And our incoming guys are going to help, as well, but no, our players will get better. They will continue to get better. They have gotten better and we need them to get better.
Q. What was the night like for you, just your first night as head coach, what did that feel like?
COACH STOOPS: It took me a few series. I didn't know what to do there for a while, I was just watching both sides. I couldn't figure out my headset going from offense to defense and all that. I have to get used to that. Somebody gave me a little lesson before we went out there. Once I figured out the head set I was able to listen to both sides, so that worked out pretty good (Laughter).
No, I was very pleased. Again, you know, great coaches, and we try to be very organized, have good plan for what we're doing. I just wanted to see the overall operation. I did not want to see sloppy football.
And it wasn't exactly always pretty, but for the most part, I was very pleased with the way that the game went and the flow of the game and just with the calls with the substitutions, just not too many penalties. I believe only one turnover. So overall, I was pleased.
Q. The recruits, what do you think they will take away?
COACH STOOPS: Well, I think, I hope they just enjoyed that experience. I just visited with quite a few of them, and you know, I hope they see the passion of this state; they see the passion of the people here, and they see a great group of guys in our locker room, both players and coaches that are going to work extremely hard to get this program turned in the right direction.
Q. re: fans
COACH STOOPS: It's remarkable, it really is. I've said it a few times, but again, I really thank them for their support and their belief and their passion for this program. It's tremendous.
It does nothing but help us, and it also, you know, makes us want to do better. As players and coaches, we feel that passion and energy and we want to deliver. Nobody wants it more than that group of guys down there in the locker room, so we want to get this done and deliver for this state because we deserve to have a great program.
Q. re: how much does spring game count in player evaluation
COACH STOOPS: No, it does, it weighs in more, because you know, under the lights, in a game setting, we want to see how they respond, how they play, and so you need those playmakers to make plays when the lights come on.
Q. When you deal with your staff to start planning for the fall, are there going to be one or two things, what you've seen in the spring -- where you say, we have to really focus or zero in on one or two things?
COACH STOOPS: Yes, we have a good idea of who we are right now and we have to adapt to that, on both sides of the ball, to put our players in a position to be successful.
Obviously in the fall, we'll come back and hopefully our players are working extremely hard and our newcomers come in and can help. We have quite a few practices before our first game there.
Yeah, we'll go back and look at the spring and as a staff, we need to -- we are going to stay on track. We are going to do what we do, but we also have to tailor that to our players.
Q. Tweaking scheme --
COACH STOOPS: Correct.
Q. Any specific change has to happen between now and September?
COACH STOOPS: Oh, we've got an awful lot of work to do. There's a lot of things we need to do, and we will. We will change significantly. Our players will get quite a bit of work in this summer. They need to do a lot of work on their own, because we can't work with them to a certain extent.
So with the football end of it, they are going to have to do a lot of work and we are going to have to have great leadership. With the strength and conditioning, we have a great plan of seeing our guys get bigger and stronger between now and the fall.
Q. What do you want to see from the quarterbacks?
COACH STOOPS: They have got to work and they have got to get with the receivers and we have got to get on the same page and they have got to be leaders on the field.
Q. You didn't work with Jalen Whitlow last season -- but in here with us, he was a much different guy last fall, he spoke differently (today) and sounded like a guy who is confident -- said Peyton Manning didn't carry himself like an ordinary Joe.
COACH STOOPS: Great comment, he's right. I want our guys to feel good about ourselves, but it can't be fake. I haven't seen that from him or any of our other players this year. Our guys have been -- they have been humbled, as you know. They know we have a lot to do, and they know we are going to work hard to get better.
Q. The confidence Whitlow shows --
COACH STOOPS: Yeah, I think he's earned the right to feel good about himself and get to a starting point of where we have a foundation of where we're at and where we're going to go.
Q. Do you feel that the players are hungry?
COACH STOOPS: Yeah, I guess so. I want them more hungry to be honest with you but they are good kids. Again, I talked to y'all several times throughout spring and talked about how they were feeling their way through things and trying to get a grasp of the offense or defense or special teams and just getting a feel.
I felt as spring was going on, practice on11, 12, 13 -- I started seeing guys step up, little by little and gain more confidence. So that helps.
Q. You say you have a sense of who and what your team is --
COACH STOOPS: Oh, we're a team that's just getting a foundation of who we are. So we know we have got a long way to go. But they have got the right attitudes and we have a coaching staff that has a great plan and has coached and been around a lot of successful people.
We have got a long way to go.
Q. Creating leaders on the field -- has that happened and if so, who are some of those players?
COACH STOOPS: Some leadership has emerged. I think guys like Ashley, guys like Avery (Williamson), they have stepped up. Jalen, at times; Raymond Sanders, even though he's a quiet guy at times, he plays big. So we're getting some.
Q. inaudible.
COACH STOOPS: Yeah, certainly. I got to Florida State and Arizona, they were very similar. So I hope we can make the improvement that we did there. Obviously players will help.
I think just continue to grind, bigger, stronger players we need to recruit, but we need to continue to work with these players and put them in a position to be successful. That's been my motto since I've been here. It's our job to put them in a position to be successful and get them to do things we need them to do.
Q. When you were hired as head coach -- recruiting and signing days and spring practice, what's next for you?
COACH STOOPS: 2014 recruiting. We'll be on the road next week with a couple days to go out and do some junior college evaluations. Our staff will be -- as you know the rules, they don't let the head coaches go out, but we will be getting all that information into our system and (inaudible) so that coaches and myself that are off the road will be getting data and film and the names for 2014-2015.
So the next phase is spring recruiting and obviously wrapping up this spring, having some player meetings and doing some evaluations with our players and sitting down and talking to them about the things, the areas that we expect them to improve before they show up in the fall.
Q. re: Rashad Cunningham.
COACH STOOPS: He did. You know what, this is the best he's played and that's good to see. Again with the fans out here and the media out here and all that, to see him step up and make some big catches was good to see.
Q. Were there any other playmakers that really stood out to you?
COACH STOOPS: Raymond's been solid all spring. He's just a really good back. (inaudible) is a big, physical guy that can make some plays, as well. I think AJ had some good catches, as well. Cody Quinn I thought did a decent job at times covering. I talked about Za'Darius, but Avery and Ashley are some guys.

Thank you very much General [Henry] Shelton. I want to say, Mr. Chairman, thank you for the leadership you continue to provide to this county. I know that it gives Shali great comfort in having someone like you following in his footsteps. I know the President and I are truly grateful for the leadership you provide our men and women in uniform. Thank you very much.
Joan, family; Dr. [John] Hamre; Members of the Diplomatic Corps; Admiral [Thomas] Moorer; General [David] Jones; General [Colin] Powell; Distinguished guests; Ladies and gentlemen.
We are here today to honor a man who is as brilliant and visionary as he is straight-forward and unpretentious; the kind of man who never aspired to have his picture placed on these august walls, only to sell a nail on which it could hang. But, as the images and awards on display will attest, his high achievements have earned him a place of honor along side the giants who came before him: Bradley, Taylor, Moorer, Jones, and his mentor, Colin Powell.
This display will remind us that, as the world was his canvas, contrary to his protestations, General Shali's preferred tool was a brush and not a hammer. With bold strokes, he composed a landscape of expanding peace and freedom. He helped bring forth the contours of a new Europe, forging a Partnership for Peace and enabling the enlargement of NATO. His tactical and strategic excellence was shown in bold primary colors in operations from Haiti to Iraq and, as the Chairman has indicated, perhaps most vividly, in Bosnia. And his wisdom outlined changes for America's armed forces during a time of rapid change, preparing them for the 21st Century.
Through it all, John Shali never once lost sight of the real lives involved, because he never lost sight of his own history. He truly cared for the refugees he was helping in northern Iraq, understanding their plight because he was once one of them. He cared deeply for the people of Eastern Europe as that sought to embrace a new world, feeling their fears because he was once one of them. And he cared passionately for the welfare of the under his command, knowing the concerns of all of young soldiers, because he was once one of them.
Indeed, through 39 years of service, Shali always thought of himself as, first and foremost, a soldier. He was, perhaps, always just a little more proud of the olive drab of his uniform than the shining stars that had been pinned on it.
But we have to be honest, as the Chairman pointed out, he had an unfair advantage: He had Joan. As he has said so many times, none of this would have been possible without their partnership. So today we also pay tribute to her distinguished service to our country. Joan, if things were truly just in this world the picture behind me would be of both of you.
When John retired, President Clinton rightly said, "Our nation is safer, our armed forces are stronger, and our world is a better place because of his service." There can be no higher tribute than this. Throughout his career, indeed his life, John Shali has given the full measure of his devotion to his comrades and to his country, and for that all of us are profoundly grateful.
So if you seek to know the dream of America, look for it in the eyes of the young boy on the streets of old Warsaw. If you seek to know the character of America, look for it deep in the marrow of the new refugee training on the fields of Fort Leonard Wood. If you seek to know the compassion of America, look for it in the heart of a leader on the mountainsides of northern Iraq. And if you seek to know the greatness of America, look for it in the portraits that line this hall – and that of the man we are honoring today, General John M. Shalikashvili.

Jacobs is aiming his grievance at one of three options getting reinstated, receiving the rest of the money on his contract, or being released by the 49ers.
To be fair it's really the 49ers trapping Jacobs that's the real problem. He would get out on the field in a heartbeat and run his heart out for the niners if they gave him that chance. Hell the only time I saw him run all season he converted a 2nd and 6 up the middle. This isn't like the Tiki situation where he refuses to play at all. Jacobs wants to get on the field, and the niners refuse to use him at all, and yet, at the same time, refuse to release him...

Republican Support Builds in Hollywood, Funding Not So Much
Tinseltown has never been known as a bastion of Republican support — but according to sources for The Wrap, this has more to do with fear of retribution than sheer numbers.
"There are lot more than people think," movie producer Frank DeMartini told The Wrap. "It used to be about 80-20, Democrat. Now, I'd say it's closer to 60-40. A majority of Republicans in Hollywood are hiding under rocks."
Screenwriter Lionel Chetwynd, a vocal Republican, adds, "A lot of people just say they're liberals because it's good for their career."
So it comes as no surprise that Hollywood Republicans typically don't put their money where their political beliefs are, since campaign contributions become public information. Former Cheers showrunner Rob Long says, "For Democrats Hollywood is like an ATM machine. For Republicans, there's no system in place."
Mitt Romney, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, has received donations from several notable Hollywood Republicans, including Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns, former Metro Goldwyn Mayer chief Harry Sloan, former Yahoo! and Warner Bros. head Terry Semel, and Apprentice host Donald Trump, per The Wrap.
Other big-name Hollywood conservatives — Gary Sinise, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jon Voight, Drew Carey, Kelsey Grammer, Wayne Newton, Dean Cain, and Chuck Norris — have yet to make contributions, though several have endorsed potential candidates.
For his part, Obama has picked up $1.2 million from supporters in the movie industry so far. However, that amount pales in comparison to the $2.8 million he'd received from Hollywood by this point in his 2008 bid for the White House.
Red or blue, the entertainment biz just isn't in the giving spirit.

DeGerolamo wanted to meet Avantor halfway at 12.5% instead of the 25 % discount. Tersigni motioned for the 25% discount and was supported by Fey. When it went to vote all members supported the discount.
I'm sure the Shimer School would be just as expensive, if not more, to fix up. It's old and would need much work to make it appropriate for police offices and a courtoom.
That's the median household value in Greenwich Township.
For the first fire drill at my apartment in Philly I grabbed my cat first and threw him in my car, then went back to get my wife's cat. I failed miserably because my wife yelled at me for not grabbing both cats at the same time. Needless to say, her cat also urinated on me.
The big issue here was the way they did it. The Phillipsburg Emergency Squad did not tell any of the municipalities of the changes and found out from angry residents. The squad does get paid during the day and they volunteer at night. Another story I might be checking out is the fact that some insurance companies send the checks to the insured and not the company. When the person gets the check, they cash it into their bank accont and never send the squad the money. Because, the squad doesn't send people to collections, they can't collect the money. It's disheartening and those people should be ashamed of themselves.
They do get paid during the day, they volunteer at night.

This guy clearly has issues of letting go. I'm pretty sure it's his ex-wife.

If they didn't catch the mistake, then I have a story. I think the error was on the agenda and not the actual paperwork that council members received. If it was a $245,000 mistake, you can bet there would be a story about it.
The mistake was on the agenda. It was corrected before the vote and the clerk clarified it before the vote.
The Warren County Hospital definitely deserved the award. Congrats to all the seniors on the float working out.
Who did you hear about the suspension from likes to ride? Thanks
The Phillipsburg Emergency Squad tells the billing company how to bill. Trust me I talked to the billing company and the squad about this. The squad hires the billing company and tells them how they want to bill, the billing company is only doing what they are told.
The Bloomsbury Rescue Team does have a station on Main Steet. Usually three crews stay at the station to respond to calls, according to Chief Anderson.

Tom Robbins' novel Jitterbug Perfume sanctions worlds fashioned by the pollen-drunken quivering of butterflies and populated by the erotic night-dreams of salamanders. I first discovered Robbins' work as an undergraduate attempting to mediate between my emerging hermeneutic understanding of the world and my established belief systems. Robbins' ability to weave seemingly unrelated mythologies into a sweeping tale that includes musings on the intensity of the beet, the essence of the universe, immortality, and the lusty goat-horned god Pan, showed me that there is validity in my own imaginative making. This realization allowed me to find, and begin to articulate, my own voice as a designer.

TODAY SCHEDULE (all times ET)
Morning Show Wrap
Evening Newscasts Wrap
NEWS SUMMARY: Democrats who want John Kerry to be elected spend a lot their time these days fascinated and frightened by the prospect that President Bush will replace Vice President Cheney on the ticket.
Acknowledging that it all may be inside the Beltway clamor, the New York Times ' Elisabeth Bumiller looks at a new "rumor" in Washington that "Mr. Cheney recently dismissed his personal doctor so that he could see a new one, who will conveniently tell him in August that his heart problems make him unfit to run with Mr. Bush." LINK
How the talented Ms. Bumiller gets just above the front-page fold of her paper today with a story that includes the word "rumor" in the headline is really beyond us.
Look — the only reason to replace Mr. Cheney is if the calculus is made that doing so would increase the chances of Bush re-election.
And that calculation could NEVER be made precisely, since removing him would bring on at least some amount of base unhappiness (particularly if he were replaced by a moderate); some accusations of implicit concession of error on Iraq and other policies; and some charges of political craveness.
Bumiller's story has some clever suggestions that Republicans are a part of a three-way conversation on this, but for the most part, this is a Democrat-and-media dialogue.
In other political news (our all-time favorite transition … ), watch for and consider:
1. John Kerry at the NAACP, as the Congressional Black Caucus slams his new black-targeted ad campaign in the Los Angeles Times, and a likely escalation in the war of words between the two presidential campaigns on all this.
2. Another devastating media focus group in Ohio for the President.
3. The lessons learned from the gay marriage vote are all over the map.
4. Ditka's "no" leaves the Illinois GOP and George Allen without an obvious Senate candidate.
5. Sen. Clinton's convention role remains TBD.
6. The KE team on Imus included plenty of flirting but surprisingly little Edwards interrupting of Kerry; the duo brushed aside the usual questions about the $87 billion, the war, and others. And apparently, Kerry hasn't fully explained why he chose him. One interesting exchange:
Keying off of Sen. Edwards contention Monday on "Today" that Cheney has "lost touch," Imus asked Edwards if he knew how much a gallon of milk and a six pack of beer costs in Albuquerque, N.M.
Edwards said, "I know about what it costs. A half a gallon costs $2.30, $2.40."
Imus said a gallon costs $2.99.
Edwards declined to offer a guess as to the cost of a six-pack of beer, saying, "I haven't drank a six pack of beer in a long time. I haven't bought a six pack of beer in years. I don't know."
On the trail today, as we said/wrote, Sen. Kerry addresses the NAACP convention in Philadelphia this morning at 10:00 am ET after two down days in Boston, something President Bush declined, given the NAACP's ads and criticism of him since 2000. President Bush, though, plans to address the Urban League next week in Detroit.
Sen. Kerry also visits his first front porch as part of his campaign's "Front Porch Tour" in Lansdowne, Pa. at 1:30 pm ET, and travels to Charleston this afternoon for an evening fundraiser and rally.
President Bush signs the Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act at the White House this morning at 10:05 am ET and meets with the president of Mongolia at 1:55 pm ET.

Nepalese Climber Gives Up For Now On Regaining Everest Title
By editor
Originally published on Wed May 29, 2013 8:47 am
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne with a follow-up on the record for oldest person to scale Mount Everest. An 81-year-old Nepalese climber earned the title five years ago when he was 76. Last week, an 80-year-old Japanese climber took the crown. Now Min Bahadur Sherchan has given up his attempt to snatch it back but bad weather, due to the season, forced him to turn back. Disappointing. Still, it wasn't age that proved the ultimate barrier.

DescriptionThe morning-rush montage: I am not a morning person. Mornings can be hectic for most people: getting the kids ready for school, getting yourself ready for work, or the last minute presentation preparation, sometimes we all wish for that montage. Montage music of the 1980's can be inspiring, but also comical. You don't want to mimic the cheesiness, but you certainly want to convey the desire to show snapshots of your progress that ultimately leads to success. The lightheartedness of this song lightens the energy of a whirlwind of tasks that need be accomplished in a timely manner.
Whimsy-melodic bells coupled with a bouncy bass, supported by upbeat drums and finished with light electric guitar emits positivity that gives you a jump-start to the day. High on the positivity, low on the mundane, and filled with motivation, this song might even be better than espresso.
Give it a listen—it gets you moving as efficiently as a freshly brewed espresso.
