This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/291,161, filed Nov. 30, 2005, now pending, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/849,998, filed May 19, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,997,563, issued Feb. 14, 2006, which are incorporated herein by reference for all intents and purposes.
This invention pertains to projectors, and more particularly to correcting distortion in a projected image.
Projectors have been around for quite some time. Historically, they projected only static images. The image to be projected would be placed a horizontal surface above a light source. Mirrors would then reflect the image onto a vertical surface parallel to the front of the projector, for easy viewing. The image could be raised or lowered by changing the angle of the mirror, and could be focused by raising or lowering the mirror (thereby changing the focal length of the projector).
With the advent of computers, manufacturers realized that projectors might be able to project dynamic (that is, changing) images. The first ventures in this area relied separate boxes that were placed on top of the light source, where the static images would have been placed. The computer was then responsible for changing the image in the box; the projector would show dynamic images by virtue of its light and mirror system.
Eventually, projector manufacturers realized that the two pieces could be combined. The projectors could connect directly to the computer and place the dynamic images directly in front of the light source, without requiring separate equipment. Projectors eventually moved from indirect (that is, reflected) projection systems to direct projection systems, where the image is oriented vertically, in a plane parallel to the projection surface.
But all of these systems suffered from a common problem. They all expect that the image, as projected, will be shown on a surface that is parallel to the front face of the projector. If the surface onto which the image is projected is not parallel to the front face of the projector, the image is distorted.
Various improvements to projectors have been made, to attempt to address this problem. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,520,547, 6,367,933, 6,305,805, and 6,339,434 each attempt to solve the problem. But each of these patents fails to completely solve the problem. U.S. Pat. No. 6,520,547, which uses 3�3 rotation matrices, does not work in a digital environment. U.S. Pat. No. 6,367,933 assumes that the optical axis of the projector is centered relative to the projected image, which is not usually the case. U.S. Pat. No. 6,305,805 warps the image by adding or deleting pixels, which is not an acceptable practice. And U.S. Pat. No. 6,339,434 only describes a scaling system in general.
Accordingly, a need remains for a way to correct for image distortion that addresses these and other problems associated with the prior art.
In a preferred embodiment, the coordinate axes are positioned so that the Y-axis divides image 110 into two equal portions. That is, half of image 110 is to the left of the Y-axis, and half of image 110 is to the right of the Y-axis. But a person skilled in the art will recognize that this is not required, and that the image can be projected in a different spatial position than that shown in
Projector 105 projects images that have a width and height. A person skilled in the art will recognize that the projected images can be resized by moving projector 105 closer to (or further from) the projection surface (with possibly some refocusing of the projected image). When the projected image is so enlarged or shrunk, it is scaled: that is, everything grows or shrinks proportionately.
When projector 105 is positioned a specific distance d along the Z-axis, image 110 has a width Wn0 and a height Hn0. d, Wn0, and Hn0 are three inherent parameters of projector 105. Under these circumstances, image 110 is said to be in nominal position. Note that, as mentioned above, projector 105 can be moved along the Z-axis, increasing or decreasing the distance d and changing the dimensions of image 110. Mathematically, for any other distance dl, the dimensions of image 110 can be computed, and these alternative values for d, Wn0, and Hn0 could be used.
The fourth parameter of projector 105 is db. db measures the distance from the NPL to the bottom of image 110. Although
Similar to
To perform keystone correction, projector 105 uses corrector 415. Understanding how corrector 415 performs keystone correction requires starting with the basic formulae for rotation. Mathematically, rotation through a horizontal tilt angle βh in the horizontal XZ-plane changes a vector
Using the above-described rotation matrices, the deformation of the projected image can be computed, to describe image 410. Note that image 410 is not necessarily (and in fact, unlikely to be) in the same plane as projection surface 305: image 410 simply represents the result of rotating the nominal image through the horizontal and vertical tilt angles.
Next, lines are established between the four corners of the image 410 and projection point 405. The intersection of these lines and projection surface 305 then defines the desired corners for image 420. The projected image is then (internally to projector 105) scaled so that the projected image fits within the established corners of image 420. This deformed image, when projected onto projection surface 305, then shows an undistorted image.
The procedure described with reference to
The reader might be wondering why there are two different sets of equations provided, when both rely on the same inputs (the inherent parameters of the projector, and the horizontal and vertical tilt angles βh and βv). The reason for the two sets of equations lies in the fact that not all projectors accomplish rotations the same ways. The difference between the two equation sets lies in how the term "horizontal plane" is defined.
As shown in
In case the above description was confusing, consider the following. Some projectors achieve rotation by elevating the front end of the projector: either using extendible legs, or by propping the projector, perhaps using books. This elevation accomplishes rotation through the vertical YZ-plane. To achieve rotation through the horizontal plane, the projector (along with any elevating materials) is swiveled on the table (or whatever surface the projector is resting on). In other words, the horizontal rotation is in the original XZ-plane, which was orthogonal to the projection surface. In this situation, Equation Set 1 is used.
But some projectors using a platform that can both rotate left and right and swivel up and down. Such a projector is not performing rotation in the original XZ-plane: instead, it is rotating horizontally in a tilted plane. Thus, to determine the "true" horizontal rotation (relative to the original XZ-plane) requires compensating for the fact that the projector has also been tilted vertically. In this situation, Equation Set 2 is used.
A person skilled in the art will recognize that, in fact, two equation sets are not needed. For projectors that rotate in the tilted XZ-plane, it is possible to mathematically adjust the horizontal tilt angle βh based on the vertical tilt angle βv. Then, Equation Set 1 can be used.
Once the correct equations to use have been determined (the correct equations are determined by the physical structure of the projector, and can be determined at the time of manufacture), it is a simple matter to input to the equations the coordinates of the original corner points of the image and compute the keystone correction corner points. At this point, the image can be scaled as needed to produce an undistorted image on the projection surface. The procedure by which the image is scaled is generally beyond the scope of this document, but any scaling approach compatible with keystone correction can be used.
Although the inherent parameters of projector 105 are known in advance, the horizontal and vertical tilt angles depend on the specific use of projector 105. Thus, the horizontal and vertical tilt angles βh and βv need to be determined somehow by projector 105. The most common way for projector 105 to be informed of the horizontal and vertical tilt angles is by having the user press buttons (for example, buttons 310) on projector 105. With each button press, one of the horizontal or vertical tilt angles is slightly adjusted and the keystone correction performed anew. The user can press the up and down buttons to adjust the vertical tilt angle, and can press the left and right buttons to adjust the horizontal tilt angle. The user then views the result on projection surface 305 and adjusts changes the horizontal and vertical tilt angles again, if necessary.
But there are other ways to let projector 105 know the horizontal and vertical tilt angles. For example, the user could use a keypad to enter numerical values for the angles (this assumes the user can accurately measure the angles). Or, projector 105 could determine the angles directly, perhaps using gyroscopes. For example, the user could position projector 105 in the XZ-plane, let projector 105 know it is in the initial position (perhaps by pressing a button), then rotate projector 105 into its desired position. Such a system could also account for translational movement (that is, moving projector 105 to a different location in the coordinate system). For example, if projector 105 cannot be positioned properly initially in its final location (this can occur if the final position of projector 105 is not in the XZ-plane), projector 105 can be initially positioned in one location and then relocated to its final position. Projector 105 can then determine not only its rotation but also its translational movement (accounting for translation merely requires adding or subtracting values to x, y, and/or z before performing the rest of the computation). A person skilled in the art will recognize other ways in which projector 105 can determine its horizontal and vertical tilt angles.

Designing & Building the First Australian Aircraft
Image: J.R. Duigan & Reg Duigan, with biplane, 1910
Source: Museum Victoria
Shortly after receiving a postcard from a friend in Britain acclaiming the success of the Wright Brothers first public flights in Europe in late 1908, John Duigan began the first steps towards building his own aircraft by constructing a crude box kite at his father's pastoral property 'Spring Plains', near Mia Mia in central Victoria. Taking only a day to build, with 'no balancing arrangements of any kind', the kite was a disappointment failing to provide lift and soon ended up on a bonfire. With help from his brother Reg, John then set about building a glider based on a half scale version of the Wright flyer with little information other than the postcard picture to go by. In early 1909 the glider was 'flown' by both men tethered to a strand of fencing wire in a strong wind. It produced good lift but was difficult to control, proving very sensitive in pitch moving up and down alarmingly.
Making use of his experience with the glider and having obtained a copy of Sir Hiram Maxim's book 'Artificial & Natural Flight', Duigan began work on a powered aeroplane based largely on a drawing of the Farman-type pusher-engine biplane illustrated in Maxim's book. He also subscribed to the British aviation journals 'The Aero' and 'Flight', which provided additional information on the work of others overseas. A shed for the new biplane was built at the top of a hill near the 'Spring Plains' homestead by the station carpenter. Duigan was not otherwise employed at this time and could devote himself full-time to the project, assisted wherever possible by Reg, who was managing the property. The framework was made of seasoned mountain ash timber with red pine wing ribs. Duigan incorporated several innovative features such as mid-wing ailerons for lateral control and pneumatic shock absorbers for the two main wheels of the undercarriage. Pitch control was initially achieved by a fixed foreplane and moving front elevator, with a foot operated rudder fitted for yaw control. A four-cylinder in-line air-cooled 20-25 horsepower engine was built in Melbourne to Duigan's specification by J.E. Tilley who ran an engineering business at 63 Little Latrobe Street. Tilley had previously been employed at the Working Men's College as an engineering assistant.
Test Flights
'Spring Plains' was a hilly property and the only level ground for flying was a creek flat below the homestead, where there was a narrow roughly ploughed paddock about 1,200 metres in length and just 90 metres wide, with a dog-leg bend in the middle. In mid 1910 the biplane was ready for test runs where it hopped or 'tip-toed' across the ground according to Reg. On 16 July 1910 a short flight of about 20 feet (6 metres) was achieved, but John was not satisfied that this was a controlled flight. Despite John's reticence, this date is now celebrated as the first flight of an Australian-built aeroplane. Lack of engine power and thrust from the propeller were addressed by changing the drive belt to a chain drive and fitting a new larger propeller.
Following a minor accident in which a wheel was buckled and a wing-tip damaged, more substantial changes were made to the airframe to improve flight control by replacing the outer dihedral wing sections with straight wing extensions, removing the fixed foreplane, shortening the forward foreplane frames, and fitting ailerons to upper and lower wings and a tab type elevator to the tailplane behind the rudder. These changes led to progressively longer hops until on 7 October 1910, a successful flight of about 196 yards (180 metres) was achieved, witnessed by six people, which Duigan regarded as his first fully controlled flight.
Public Acclaim
News of Duigan's successful flights was first published in Melbourne newspapers The Leader, on 1 October 1910, and The Argus, on 8 October 1910, followed by other interstate newspapers.
After unsuccessfully attempting to have his biplane considered for the £5,000 Commonwealth (Australian Government) prize for a military flying machine, which had closed in June 1910, Duigan continued to make further improvements and test flights. To improve engine power in warm weather he ordered a new set of jacketed cylinders and painstakingly soldered over 500 joints to make a homemade radiator, enabling him to convert the engine to water-cooling. In a last attempt to boast the power output he bored out the cylinders by 8 mm and fitted larger pistons. Finally confident that he had a reliable machine, Duigan embarked on a series of public demonstration flights.
On 25 January 1911, John performed a demonstration flight at Spring Plains for the sporting editor and a photographer from The Argus and was rewarded with an extensive illustrated article in the newspaper the following Saturday. In April, he exhibited the biplane at the Bendigo Easter Fair, where a short ground run was made on the showground arena. On 3 May 1911, Duigan flew the biplane at the Bendigo racecourse before a crowd of 1,000 paying spectators for a charity fund-raiser. He made three flights at the racecourse of up to three-quarters of a mile (1,200 metres) including his only circling flight, having previously only able to make straight flights at 'Spring Plains' due to surrounding fences, trees and hills.
On 30 May 1911 a final demonstration was made back at 'Spring Plains' for representatives of the Department of Defence and the Aerial League of Australia, with both John and Reg making flights. Having achieved all he could with the design, John had the machine wheeled back into the shed where it would be left quietly gathering dust for the next nine years, and in June 1911 left for England to further pursue his aviation interests.

Christmas may be over for most people, but not for the city of Los Angeles' Bureau of Sanitation. It has issued a last call for Christmas trees and will even pick them up.
Any resident served by the city's automated trash collection who still has a tree moldering in the back yard can leave it at curbside on the regular trash collection day, and it will be picked up and sent to the compost heap.
This mop-up operation, which ends Friday, is the final phase of the city's expanding Christmas tree recycling program, now in its fifth year. Last week's drop-off program netted more than 12,000 trees at eight locations citywide.
Residents who took their trees to the drop-off sites were rewarded with discount theater tickets to the IMAX film "Tropical Rain Forest" at the California Museum of Science and Industry. They also received a coupon for a free bag of compost from Kellogg Fertilizer Supply Co., redeemable immediately at 25 nurseries throughout the city.

Froobi Deals of the Day 12/4
Posted by Team Swagbucks on Sat, December 4th, 2010 at 9:07 am
We're turning back the clock for both of today's Froobi Deals. The first Deal is for these Aviator Sunglasses by Fashion.
Invented for American pilots in 1929, Aviators were developed as durable with the right shape to protect them from the sun's glare while flying. American commander Douglas MacArthur first made the aviators fashionable, and soon stars and city fashionistas started wearing them – and haven't stopped.

We now write Cricinfo's weekly Twitter round-up
It would seem that we're selling off our newsletter for parts.
Following cricketers on Twitter is actually pretty boring. James Anderson and Graeme Swann are smart and funny and Dale Steyn used to be, but the rest are generally either illiterate or don't know when to shut up.
The original subheading of our new Cricinfo feature was 'braving cricketers' "banter" so you don't have to'. That's basically the premise. There is some good cricket stuff on Twitter, but JESUS CHRIST CAN YOU STOP GOING ON ABOUT NANDO'S FOR FIVE MINUTES.
So yes, there's also bad stuff, but hopefully some of that can be made entertaining as well. The Twitter round-up will develop over time, but we're fairly happy with the first one and a couple of bits have the whiff of being regular features already.
Being as it's weekly, we aren't going to link to every instalment from here, but please try and follow it if you think you might like it. There doesn't seem to be any special Twitter round-up subscription option, but if you know what you're doing with RSS feeds and that, this is our author page and they should all appear there.
Cricinfo's weekly Twitter round-up.
You really should subscribe to our email updates - here's why
The King Cricket mug implies that its owner is fully cool
It's an honourable profession, KC. For centuries people have painstakingly combed through mountains of shit to find the occasional nugget of gold. Why should it be any different in today's computerised world?
I expect you'll find some good stuff, so I think it's well worth keeping an eye on it. But I also think you've got your work cut out. The amount of gold in circulation has stayed pretty much the same over the years, while at the same time Twitter has exponentially increased the size of the shit mountain. It's their great (and only) gift to the world.
Got to go – The World Bank is reporting a lack of confidence in Asian markets, and I need to know what Katie Price thinks about that.
Is there a special name for people who comb Twitter for nuggets? If not, there should be. For example, people who sift mud and silt for gold are said to be "prospecting". But what are Twitter-sifters doing? Twifting? Are they twifters? Are we living in an age of twift? We should be told.
The new page is very good btw.
They are known as "The Twitterati".
Whereas old cynical dogs like me are known as "The Gitterati".
Excellent stuff on Cricinfo there, KC. I wish you the very best of luck with your new series. Or is it a serial?
Or a cereal?
Er, it's ongoing.
Did you just say Tendulkar is illiterate or doesn't know when to shut up?
I can see your body tumbling into the cricinfo well and the air reverberating with "THIS. IS. MUMBAIIIIIIIII".
Who said it was an either/or?
And with Sachin now about to become a Member of the Indian Parliament…….
What the bollocks is Panesar going on about?
And what the heck is going on with Lanky's top/middle order batting?
Rob Key@robkey612 :
Is it raining. I hadn't noticed
I was literally rolling on the floor laughing while reading Parnell's entry.
Brilliant Brilliant article on Shiv, KC. Have been dying to read a good tribute to him. Its way better than Steen's dictionary aided efforts.
Especially like this part:
"The line separating confidence from delusion is a thin one. Shiv had probably been on the wrong side of that line, but he stayed where he was and eventually it moved towards him, even if his team-mates couldn't help justify his position completely."
Thanks very much. We put some effort into that one. Really nice to hear it's appreciated.
Does God write his own Tweets? Looked suspiciously like a PR job.
Top Twitter digging (Twigging?) KC… If only it would land in my inbox each Thursday without having to RSS or go to Cricinfo or anything. You know, like a newsletter.
If only.
You must feel like the people at the tip whose job it is to stand at the conveyor belt, picking out the stuff that has a small possibility of being recycled.
Another beautiful and accurate description of what we do.

Could an EMV deadline delay be a good thing for credit unions?
Trade association releases letter showing retailers aren't ready for EMV deadline.

WASHINGTON - Former House Press Secretary says he uses a credit union as his PFI.
Tax reform, regulatory relief and other credit union concerns are in the hands of these members of Congress.

I originally lost 25 lbs and know I am up 5 lbs. Is this normal????????????????????????????
Did you just start eating different foods? Anything salty? I'm thinking water weight or constipation. (sorry if tmi).
Note that my responses here are from the viewpoint of a female nearly 4 yrs out from surgery, with post bariatric hypoglycemia. I am not a medical professional. Lowest wt after surgery, 218 at 9 mo out.
Best NSV yet - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
re: my avatar -- CFIDS =ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyletis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also diagnosed with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve related).
I'm having the same problem!! Today is exactly 3 wks since my surgery and as of Saturday I had lost 20lbs. Today I weighed myself and I've gained 4 lbs. I drink 2 shakes a day, plenty of water and only 400-500 cal of food per day usually consisting of fish and cottage cheese. This is ridiculous and very discouraging.
i had that happen to me last week sort of - one day got down 190 then back up to 194 and couldnt budge but then slowly 1 lb came off and then the next day all three so now i am at 190 for 2 days. this might be too much info but i was sort of needing a BM and that sort of helped me get unstuck in more ways then 1. also i found by eating more - above 800 but below a 1000 might have done somthing too
I did the EXACT same thing, ladies. I gained four pounds and kept it on for about 3 weeks, I think. And then it started melting off--I lost the four pounds I'd gained and then another 5 or 6 and then I stalled AGAIN. Now I've lost another 5 or 6 off that. So long as I lose easily during the times I'm NOT stalled, I think I'm okay.

Show your support and Stand Up Against Poverty
25 January 2010
World Thinking Day 2010 is girls worldwide say "together we can end extreme poverty and hunger". It links with WAGGGS' Global Action Theme (GAT) which supports the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). You can learn more about the MDGs through our GAT programme and show you support by taking part in the Stand Up Against Poverty campaign in September.
What are the MDGs?
In 2000, the 189 UN Member States adopted the Millennium Declaration which promised to: "free all men, women, and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty." Each of the eight MDGs identifies a key area which must be targeted in order to tackle poverty worldwide. This historical and inspirational declaration was a global deal by which rich and poor governments of the world agreed to unite in an unprecedented common effort to eliminate the scourge of poverty and hunger and tackle other major issues by 2015. Learn more…
WAGGGS part of record-breaking Stand Up in 2009
A Guinness World Record was shattered when 173,045,325 citizens gathered at over 3,000 events in more than 120 countries from 16 to 18 October 2009 as part of the Stand Up campaign. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in countries including USA, Sudan, Japan, Our Chalet, Pakistan, UAE, Madagascar, and Thailand took part in a variety of ways. Activities ranged from drawing posters to holding demonstrations.
Join hands with us to Stand Up on 17 to 19 of September
The world was on track to achieve at least the first MDG of halving the number of extreme poor; and was coming close in several others. Now, that hard fought progress is at risk. Ten years after the Millennium Declaration was signed, the economic crisis, which originated within the world's major financial centres, has spread throughout the global economy. Developing countries, which are the least responsible for the crisis, are suffering the most.
From 20 to 22 of September, 2010, Heads of State will meet again at the United Nations headquarters to review the successes, to learn from the failures, and to discuss the launch of detailed plans on how to ensure the attainment of the MDGs by 2015. It will be a great opportunity to call for collective action and efforts needed to meet the MDGs by the 2015. This year, a special edition of the Stand Up, Take Action Against Poverty campaign has been launched.
WAGGGS encourages everyone to join hands and Stand Up on 17-19 of September just before leaders arrive at the UN MDG + 10 Summit in New York.
We still are the first generation that can end poverty, and we must refuse to miss the opportunity!
Jordi Llopart, Millennium Campaign
To kick off the 2010 MDG year, the Millennium Campaign has produced a video to reinstate the importance of the MDGs. The video was launched during the Match Against Poverty taking place in Lisbon, and it broadcasted on many social networks such as YouTube.com. The clip is available in six languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German) and can be downloaded on high and low definition.
The message of this video is very simple: 'The MDGs can be achieved. There are No Excuses: End Poverty Now'.

Editorial: Searching for people who will help
Throughout the country and most especially in Connecticut, we'll pause on Saturday and take a moment to recall the horrifying events of one year ago.
A gunman entered a school in Newtown, Conn., having already killed his mother. He then opened fire on children and adults. Lives were lost, and a community as well as its nation was ripped open.
In response, we said our hope and prayers were for fulfillment rather than hollowed dreams in light of the many questions, the few answers and numerous pledges.
We're still hoping and praying.
The number of anniversaries, be it in Newtown or any other place, won't change that approach. Only our decision to change society, each one of us one by one individually, determines what happens next.
We are a nation with tremendous resolve. We are a nation with incredible capabilities.
And yet, we can be burdensome to ourselves. We struggle mightily when we need to succeed. We are capable of failing to maximize even when we capitalize.
In short, we are human. And we are with freedoms and laws among the best the world has to offer. We love our country and all it stands for, and we are frustrated immensely when we can't make things work out.
Dialogue began a year ago, or shall we say, restarted. That's pretty much the nature with incidents involving guns and death. There's shock, grieving, the dialogue and somewhere after that we bog down.
Blame is a natural. It's also weak. Assigning blame and pointing fingers is nothing more than saying "not me" and failing to take responsibility.
Our best leaders hear about problems, consider solutions and take actions.
We're not in search of leaders to fix what went wrong on that terrible Friday from a year ago. They are nowhere to be found. Check the dialogue in the aftermath for proof.
We're in search of individuals accepting responsibility, who want society to change and are willing to be a part of the movement.
We, each of us individually, make the first step. Others join. We choose how we live our lives, the impact we make on others and what we want as a society.
Laws don't stop people from doing bad things. People stop people.
We are the people.

These two immensely talented artists performed a laid back show in Ann Arbor last Friday. "Acoustic" doesn't have to mean sedate, and Hiatt, for his part, did bring out a few songs with a bit more energy in the later part of the show, only to have Lovett bring the tempo (way) back down every time in response, which made it feel like the show never really got going.
The format, which seems promising in theory, ended up feeling like a missed opportunity to experience more musically interesting things (like maybe hearing them perform one or two of each others' songs, exploring novel arrangements, etc.). Instead, they kept it very simple, not venturing far beyond limited harmonizing.
The show featured beautiful songs that were beautifully performed, but an even slightly higher-energy set list with a few more fan favorites would have been welcome.
Who is really the bully in this story? The one saying that we should get everything in the open and tell the truth or the one throwing rocks through someone's window in the dark of night?
Shouldn't we expect both companies and individuals to be responsible for their conduct?
Yes, the legal shenanigans are probably a bit over the top, but it may be time to reassess our values if asking people to be honestly accountable for their words is considered a negative feature.
And if you have to hide your identity to speak your mind, how "free" is your speech?

Accelerated fundraising requires critical communication elements
As Whitman accelerates and focuses its fundraising effort toward strengthening academics, enhancing scholarship funding and growing the endowment – a number of strategies are being employed.
Among those strategies is a process that will result in a unified college-wide visual identity, according to John Bogley '85, vice president for development and college relations. "Currently the variance in the look of Whitman publications and Web pages fails to deliver a consistent, crisp and clear message about the college, which is essential in fundraising-related communication, Bogley adds. "And since the Office of Admission is beginning its work to design the next generation of recruitment publications, this is the right time for us to work together to unify how to represent Whitman to our diverse constituencies."
Toward achieving the goal of a consistent visual identity, President Bridges has assembled a task force consisting of staff, faculty and students, and the college has hired North Charles Street Design Organization (NCSDO) to partner with us on this important institutional imperative. The firm knows Whitman well – it has worked with us for the past five years on admission communications and more recently on fundraising projects.
The outcome of this effort will be a coordinated and consistent Whitman design and presence in our communications, from business cards and letterhead to banners, campus signage and vehicle identification. The Missionary mascot is not part of the scope of this project.
The task force includes staff members Barbara Maxwell, Dan Park, Polly Schmitz, Dean Snider, David Sprunger and Anne Thatcher; Professor Bob Withycombe and Associate Dean of the Faculty Tom Callister; and students Missy Navarro, Geni Venable and Andrew Witherspoon. John Bogley, Tony Cabasco, Jed Schwendiman and Ruth Wardwell will serve as ex-officio members. The group will meet for the first time on Dec. 1. Ultimately, President Bridges will make the final selection of the visual identity elements that NCSDO will present to the task force.
Watch Cold Case episode Dec. 6
Why would The Fountain invite campus community members to watch a TV show about crimes that have never been solved? Because a Whitman alumnus wrote the script. And, the story line centers around one of his favorite activities and a Whitman hallmark: debate.
Jerome Schwartz '03 is the alumnus, and he's living his dream – a writing career in Hollywood. About the episode he says: "It's about a murder on a high school debate team, which actually was my main activity when I was in high school. I knew that it was a unique, specific world, and Cold Case episodes are all about looking for new worlds and subcultures to explore as part of the murder investigation."
The episode airs Sunday, Dec. 6, at 10 p.m. on CBS. Read more about Schwartz, his career and work with Cold Case here.
You taste wine, award-winning DGs do the driving
Walla Walla's Holiday Barrel Tasting weekend is Dec. 5-6, and the women of Delta Gamma at Whitman College again are conducting their annual fundraiser, Anchor Drive. It's a designated driving service for weekend wine tasting trips and is one of the group's largest fundraisers. Since September, the chapter has raised more than $800. Proceeds directly benefit the DG's national philanthropy, Service for Sight and the local United Blind of Walla Walla. DG fundraising efforts have helped fund the audible crosswalks downtown. In addition to their philanthropy, the women of Delta Gamma also received an award from the Walla Walla Sheriff's Office for their work in promoting safe driving.
Anchor Drive operates on a donation basis, with the suggested minimum at $20 per hour per vehicle. Early signups are encouraged. If you have questions or would like to make a reservation, e-mail Anchor Drive.

Also, members of the cohort who attended the recent Powershift Conference in Eugene will share topics discussed there. The discussion takes place Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m. in Olin 130. Questions? E-mail Lisa Curtis.

Baseball to Play Temple Wednesday Afternoon
April 14, 2009
EASTON, Pa. - The baseball team, originally scheduled to play Villanova on Wednesday afternoon in Easton, will now face Temple. First pitch is still scheduled for 3:30 p.m., weather permitting.
The Wildcats were originally scheduled to play in the Liberty Bell Classic championship on Tuesday night before traveling to Kamine Stadium on Wednesday. That title game has now been pushed back to Wednesday due to inclement weather, prompting Lafayette to switch opponents for Wednesday's game.
Following Wednesday's game, the Leopards host league opponent Holy Cross on Saturday and Sunday for two doubleheaders. Both days begin at 12 p.m.

Growing up in a small midwestern town, happily surrounded by generations of family and friends, in a nurturing environment of assumed social responsibility was, for me, a breeding ground for ignorance. Until I read Native Son, I did not imagine the existence of a world like that of Bigger Thomas'. Bigger was a painfully self-aware young black man who was facing starvation, yet was constantly tormented by the daily exposure to a better life that he could never have. He wanted, more than anything, the freedom to "chart his own course." Yet, the impossibly narrow range of allowed experiences for a black man in the mid-twentieth century left him frightened, humiliated, and angry. Bigger's violence was self-destructive - yet it was no more so than his passive reactions to oppression had been. Few of the (sometimes) criminal choices that he made for himself contributed to ending his life. It is the choices made for him, by fate and society, that led him to the electric chair.

Based on the rating criteria: food is fresh & creative, nice presentation, tastes good but not "out of this world." Service was attentive & friendly but I agree with another reviewer in that it does feel a bit rushed. The "rush pressure" is understandable & not blatantly rude, but annoying none the less. Price for money- quality ingredients/ good & decent pricing. Atmosphere- VERY small! Packed, good vibes, dimly lit, clean, simple rustic yet mod design. "Two very enthusiastic thumbs up."
Posted by Baris on 02/24/2012
I really don't understand what's so special about this place. Food is good but not as spectacular as they say, nothing special about the drinks, the place is usually packed so sitting comfortable is out of the question and most annoyingly - the waiters serve everything fast and rush you to eat so that they can get rid of you quickly to sell the table to someone else. I'll conclude saying it's not bad but it's not that good either - I give them a C-!
Posted by Vlap77 on 07/08/2010
Las Ramblas is definitely a hidden gem. It's tiny and always packed...and the tapas are simply delicious. I can't recommend one dish specifically, we tried almost everything on the menu and it was excellent. Great bar with really interesting wine and beer choices. The atmosphere is really positive and it's really relaxed, makes for an unforgettable dining experience. Also, for a tapas bar, the portions are a great size. I can't wait to go back.
Posted by RLH on 06/14/2010
The duck sausage and the mussels are awesome!!!!! Also try the dessert wine selection- tiny place though so get there early if u don't want to end up standing outside drooling as you watch ppl eat! :)
Posted by Sarah on 05/02/2010
There is nothing bad I can say about this place. The wait staff was really nice and helpful. The service was pretty quick. Food was amazing. Only thing that is a turn off or deal breaker for some people is it's a small space and tables are set up a bit close together. But the food is soooo worth it. Red pear sangria was great, and I loved the chicken turnovers...the cheese sauce was really good. The shrimp was really good too. It was all great. And they were smart bringing out the patatas bravas out last so we didn't fill up on potato before eating anything else. We ended up bring that home. I give this place a full thumbs up.
Posted by HP on 07/20/2009
I love this place. It makes me feel like I am back in Madrid. But some things at Las Ramblas are even better. They have the best octopus I have ever eaten. Whether you go with pulpo con patatas or pulpo a la gallego you can't go wrong. Of course the patatas bravas are a must have. The only bad thing I can say about Las Ramblas is stay away from the strawberry sangria. Go with red pair instead.
Posted by acanadianinnewyork on 06/30/2009
Just came back from 3 amazing days in nyc. One of the highlights was a late dinner at Las Ramblas on Saturday night. We had to wait about an hour and it was worth every minute. We lucked out and got one of the 2 outdoor tables. The tapas and sangria were fabulous - if Spain could be summed up in a taste it would be the chorizo tapas, a bit of heat, temptimgly sweet with a zing of tartness. Sipping Sangria surrounded by the sights, sounds and people of the village is an experience that will linger for a long time to come. Thanks to everyone at Las Ramblas for a wonderful experience.

Under a draconian budget passed by the Philadelphia School District last month, none of these supporting players — aide, counselor, secretary, security monitor — will remain at the school by September, nor will there be money for books, paper, a nurse or the school's locally celebrated rock band.
"I am worried sick," said Lisa Ciaranca Kaplan, the principal, whose homey school in South Philadelphia serves 410 students, speaking 14 languages, all of whom qualify for free meals. "How do I relieve teachers for lunch if I have no one in the lunchroom? I'll be the only person in this building who's not in a class."
Pink slips were recently sent to 19 percent of the school-based work force, including all 127 assistant principals, 646 teachers and more than 1,200 aides. Principals are contemplating opening in September with larger classes but no one to answer phones, keep order on the playground, coach sports, check out library books or send transcripts for seniors applying to college.

Two xserver VGA (analog)/TV is posible??
First of all my gratefulness to the people of development of Nvidia by this driver for linux, that works really well. I have a consultation to do to them, is possible to form my Geforce2 so that it works with two xserver, one by output VGA and another by the output of TV. I have tried to make it as she indicates the README in the end, but have not obtained anything. thanks for your help.
You are not very clear about the videocard you are using. You say it is a Geforce2 but there are several Geforce2 models: GTS, PRO, Ultra, Ti, mx100, mx200....
Only the MX models can handle two screens at the same time and if you followed the directions of the README it should work.
Thanks thunderbird, my card is a geforce 2 MX 400. You say that this card work with two screen at the same time tv and crt ??
I can make my Desk expand with twienview (crt,tv), but two xserver don´t work, hang up my computer. If I send you my Xfree86config-4, it can serve so that you indicate to me in that it fails .
Again, thanks and sorry by my badly ingles :D

Bickley and Marotta
Hovercraft lands on busy Russian beach
Oh, Russia. You crazy country.
What started as a nice summer day ended with a massive hovercraft parked on the beach.
I'm completely serious.
The massive military hovercraft approaches a beach near Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea and is kicking up all sorts of water. As it slows down, beach life appears to return to normal.
Except, obviously, the massive hovercraft parked on the shoreline.
Go home, Russia. You're drunk.
