[0001] This application is claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/178,964 filed Feb. 1, 2000, the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] With the advent of streaming multimedia technology from RealNetworks and, more recently, Microsoft, live broadcast multimedia has begun to proliferate on the Internet. There are already a large number of live events that are broadcast on the Internet—see Broadcast.com for a number of examples (http:/www.broadcast.com/live/ daysched.asp). Other calendars of live webcasts can be found at Yahoo! Net Events (http://events.yahoo.corn/) and OnNow.com (http://www.onnow.com). These events typically fall into a wide range of subject categories: sports, entertainment, news, health, computers, business and others.
[0003] In some cases, archived versions of live webcast (i.e., Internet provided broadcast multimedia) content do not exist. Broadcast.com does not archive the Rush Limbaugh show, its most popular radio talk show. While many live events are archived, finding where they are is not always easy—for example, there is no link from Broadcast.com's live schedule to archives. Another example is regular season baseball games, which can be found at http://www. majorleaguebaseball.com/. They are not archived at the Major League Baseball site, though they are archived at http://espn.go.com.
[0004] Even when archived versions may exist, there are other reasons why users will want time shifted (i.e., at a time other than the live broadcast) video and audio broadcasts. For example, there is invariably a lag between the live broadcast of an event and the appearance of an archived version, at least for the duration of the event. So, time shifting could be of value for similar reasons to those given for TV versions of such products as ReplayTV (http://www.replaytv.com) and TiVo (http://www.tivo.com).
[0005] to pause a live event because of an interruption,
[0006] to avoid commercials, intermissions or other unwanted parts of the broadcast, by using features that allow the user to fast-forward or jump ahead in the broadcast,
[0007] to be able to start viewing the broadcast from the beginning when arriving late,
[0008] to rewind and review portions of the broadcast while viewing it.
[0009] Some live events are extremely popular, such as the Victoria's Secret live webcast of its fashion show on Feb. 3, 1999 webcast by Broadcast.com. According to Broadcast.com, 1.5 million viewers watched the event (see http://www.cnnfn.com/ digitaljam/9902 04/victoria/) which was marred by technical difficulties (see "Net video not ready for prime time" http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,32033,00.html). The number of live events will increase as Internet Protocol multicast technologies are more widely deployed—these were not in place for the Victoria's Secret webcast, and their absence was blamed for many of the problems encountered. With IP multicast, it will be considerably less expensive to transmit video and audio during live broadcasts than to transmit them on demand, especially for high quality video.
[0010] One further advantage particular to the use of time-shifting technology for the Internet would be that pauses for re-buffering due to network congestion could be avoided.
[0011] Prior approaches include the time-shifting systems of TiVo and ReplayTV, both of which capture analog TV signals as MPEG2 digital streams that are saved to disk. These systems are both self-contained information appliances, physical devices that receive an analog television-format video feed and produce the same format of feed, time shifted, for display on a television. The DISHPlayer Satellite Receiver for the DISH Network satellite service (http:/www.webtv.com/products/satellite/) performs time shifting on video received from the service, presumably by saving MPEG2 streams from a digital satellite service to a buffer on disk.
[0012] A patent was awarded in 1993 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,241,428) for a variable-delay video recorder, and in 1997 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,701,383) for a video time-shifting apparatus. Both of these devices are self-contained hardware devices, similar in this way to the ReplayTV and TiVo products.
[0013] The present invention provides a system for time shifting live streamed, video/audio data distributed via the Internet and solves the problems of the prior art. The invention system stores audio and video (i.e., multimedia) on disk, allowing users to time shift and replay originally live, streamed broadcast content on the Internet. The preferred embodiment uses a client-server architecture, allowing one cache to be shared among multiple clients. With a service delivered through a Web site that lists upcoming live events, the present invention allows users to select events of interest and arrange for them to be recorded.
[0014] As such the present invention (i) captures video and audio (i.e., multimedia) content streamed over the Internet, instead of capturing Broadcast TV; (ii) is a software application, combined with a service delivered from a Web site, instead of a physical device as in the prior art hardware devices; and (iii) may serve a number of different users sharing one cache of archived material, with of its client-server design.
[0015] In a preferred method and apparatus of the present invention, operation is in a global computer network in which at least one node broadcasts live events over the network. The invention apparatus and method provides to a user, contents of desired ones of the broadcasts shifted in time. The invention apparatus includes a user interface, a working server and a video-audio output means. The user interface enables the user to form a request for the contents of a future broadcast of a live event. The request includes date, time and network location of the subject broadcast.
[0016] The working server is coupled to the user interface and receives the user requests. The working server responds by recording the live, streamed video-audio data forming the broadcast corresponding to the user desired show (live event). The working server may cache the video-audio data in cache storage. The cache storage subsystem overwrites or expires cached video-audio data as a function of at least (i) the corresponding show viewed longest ago by the user and/or (ii) the least recently recorded broadcast event. The working server further provides a searchable index to the cached data. The searchable index preferably includes header information from the respective original broadcasts, a summary of each corresponding show having its data cached and indications of user preference for saving or deleting each piece of cached data when the cache storage is full. The working server may receive requests for the same broadcast content from several different users. Preferably the working server stores/caches the corresponding video-audio data for longer periods of time as a function of user demand.
[0017] The video-audio output means receives recorded video-audio data from the working server to provide user viewing (playback of a desired corresponding show time shifted from the original live broadcast of the show). The video-audio output means may include a computer, a television, a video cassette recorder and the like. The working server recording and storage and the video-output means may be local to or remote from each other in the network. In the case where the working server is an ISP (service provider) or remote third party, the video-audio data is recorded at a network site remote from the output means. Some of the video-audio data may also be recorded locally to the output means. In that case, a synchronizing means is employed to synchronize playback between the local and remove recordings in a manner transparent to the user.
[0018] The invention method carries out the foregoing functions and operations, preferably by computer implemented steps.
[0019] The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.
[0020]FIG. 1 is an overview of a computer network environment in which the present invention is employed.
[0021]FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of data flow during user request for recording in the present invention.
[0022]FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of data flow during user selection of recorded material in the present invention.
[0023]FIGS. 4 and 5 are schematic illustrations of the user interface employed in the preferred embodiment.
[0024] A description of preferred embodiments of the invention follows.
[0025] The invention is a client server software application, supported by a service allowing users access to a comprehensive index of live multimedia events on the Internet, complete with URL's, start and end times, and frequency of recurrence in a format the application can use to schedule its captures.
[0026] The server application captures streaming video formats—examples are the RealNetworks formats (G2, RealVideo, RealAudio) and Microsoft's ASF. It can start and stop recording at specified times from a given URL. In addition, it includes methods for dealing with inexact start and end times: polling a stream to sense when it goes live, and recording a stream until it goes dead.
[0027] The system is designed in a client server fashion. The server side receives and stores the content and serves up the time-shifted audio/video to the client on demand. With multiple computers on one high-bandwidth network, the server could serve multiple clients receiving content on demand. Clients need not all run on PC's; a client could be written for a TV set-top box to allow it to receive time-shifted content from a server located on the same home network, or elsewhere on a broadband network connected to the home. The use of standard protocols allows a variety of heterogeneous client platforms to function within the system, requiring only that the client platform run a Web browser and the invention software and, optionally, the Windows Media Player.
[0028] In more specific terms, the preferred embodiment is now described with reference to FIGS. 1-3. Illustrated in FIG. 1 is a plurality of networks 19 a, 19 b, 19 c. Each network 19 includes a multiplicity of digital processors 11, 13, 15, 17 (e.g., PC's, mini computers and the like) loosely coupled to a host processor or server 21 a, 21 b, 21 c for communication among the processors within that network 19. Also included in each network 19 are printers, facsimiles and the like. In turn, each host processor 21 is coupled to a communication line 23 which interconnects or links the networks 19 a, 19 b, 19 c to each other to form an internet. That is, each of the networks 19 are themselves loosely coupled along a communication line 23 to enable access from a digital processor 11, 13, 15, 17 of one network 19 to a digital processor 11, 13, 15, 17 of another network 19. In the preferred embodiment, the loose coupling of networks 19 is the Internet.
[0029] Also linked to communication line 23 are various servers 25 a, 25 b which provide to end users access to the Internet (i.e., access to potentially all other networks 19, and hence processors 11, 13, 15, 17 connected to the Internet). The present invention is a software program 31 operated on and connected through a server 27 to the Internet for communication among the various networks 19 and/or processors 11, 13, 15, 17 and other end users connected through respective servers 25. In the preferred embodiment, the server 27 is a Digital Equipment Corp. Alpha server cluster (e.g., 2400-8000 Series), or a multiplicity of similar such servers. Server 27 runs Oracle 2.0 Webserver as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server software to support operation of present invention program 31.
[0030] As illustrated in FIG. 2, an end user through a Web browser at server 25 b logs onto invention program and Website 31 (running on hosting server 27) to make a request for recording a desired broadcast show. In preparation of making this request, the end user has viewed a listing of live events or shows scheduled to be broadcast over the global network of networks 19 by various broadcasters (network servers) 21 a,b,c. Such a listing is displayed or otherwise obtained through an event schedule Website 25 a, for example, that the end user has previously logged onto and obtained show title/name, date, time, URL (universal resource locator) and the like of such desired broadcasts. Event schedule Website 25 a maybe, for example, Yahoo! Net Events and OnNow.com. which receive schedule updates from broadcasting servers 21 a,b,c.
[0031] The invention client user interface, displayed in the Web browser at 25 b, allows the user to specify shows to be recorded in the future, either by selecting individual shows or by creating rules for more than one (e.g., by matching keywords) or recurring shows to be captured. In the preferred embodiment, a centralized service and Web site 31 collects a calendar of events and presents it to the users, to prompt users to make requests for recording desired broadcast shows. In response to user input and selection, the Website/invention program 31 delivers the resulting rule sets specifying live shows to be broadcast over the network by servers 21 a,b,c to be captured to (recorded by) the server 27.
[0032] An example of the client user interface (screen view 10) for making a request for recording desired broadcast shows is shown in FIG. 4. Screen view 10 shows a schedule of broadcasts, ordered by date and time, for which the invention program 31 may be set to capture and record. For each scheduled broadcast event, screen view 10 displays the show title or event name 14, a short description 12 of the show or program and date and time of scheduled broadcast. Also command indicators 108 (FIG. 5), 16 are shown illuminated next to each scheduled broadcast/show and serve as prompts or selections that the user may act on through screen view 10. If the user selects the "record" indicator 16 of a listed broadcast show, the invention program 31 schedules the corresponding broadcast (content thereof) for capture (recording) and changes the "record" indicator 16 to an "edit" indicator 108 (FIG. 5). If the user selects an "edit" indicator 108 in screen view 10, invention program 31 enables the user to change (or unschedule) the scheduled recording of the corresponding broadcast.
[0033] Where multiple users over time log on to invention Website 31 and make requests for the same broadcast show, server 27 maintains certain heuristics. Based on these heuristics, server 27 may treat certain broadcast contents as in higher user demand relative to other user-requested broadcast contents. Server 27 may store the higher user-demand broadcast contents for longer periods of time than other broadcast contents as discussed below.
[0034] After the user has requested and scheduled the recording of desired broadcast shows/events, the invention program 31 appropriately captures the subject broadcasts. That is, the broadcasts are in the form of live streamed video and audio data from various broadcasting servers 21 a,b,c. Invention program 31 receives this data and records it, hence the corresponding user-requested broadcast shows, on server 27. In the preferred embodiment, the recorded video-audio data and hence corresponding broadcast shows are cached in a cache storage subsystem 39 of host server 27.
[0035] The server cache 39 requires a significant amount of disk space to store video, but the needs are well within what can be supplied by a PC. One hour of a typical 60 kbps video requires 22 MB of storage; an hour of higher quality 300 kbps video requires 132 MB.
[0036] Subsequently, the user logs onto invention Website 31 to make a selection from the captured and recorded broadcasts (shows) as illustrated in FIG. 3. Upon user selection and command, program 31 provides the desired recorded video-audio data to support display or rendering (playback) of the corresponding broadcast show through output means 41 at the user server 25 b. The output means 41 includes any combination of a television, VCR (video cassette recorder) unit and PC/computer and similar monitors and sound systems. In this manner, the present invention 31 provides a method and means for providing desired live broadcasts in a time shifted (delayed from original broadcasting) manner. Recording and playback overlap if the recording is time shifted by less than the show's or event's duration.
[0037] The client user interface (rendered through the user's Web browser 35) allows the user to search and browse the captured shows to find those of interest and to delete those that are no longer of interest. Rules may be imposed by the user to manage the cache 39. These rules indicate which archived shows should be marked to prevent new shows from being recorded over them. As new shows are recorded, the preferred default expiration policy is to delete the least recently recorded and/or the show longest ago viewed by the user, with the exception of shows marked to prevent deletion or in user demand. User demand may be determined by the number of requests to capture the subject broadcast show as well as the continuing or repeated viewing/replay of the recorded show. The cache 39 lives on and is ultimately managed by the server 27.
[0038] Alternatively, the subject broadcast show content may be archived locally on the user's PC 25 b; in that case the invention server part of program 31 runs locally and may serve only one client or a small number of clients on a local area network (e.g., other PC's or set-top boxes). Yet in another alternative, the content may be archived by a third party service, for example, one served by the user's (broadband) Internet Service Provider (ISP). In that case server 25 b in FIG. 3 is an ISP server. To make the best use of the disk space available to the overall system, a shared server 25 b would maintain only one copy of shows requested by multiple clients. In such a case, shows are reference-counted by the server 25 b to keep track of when they can be deleted and overwritten. Conceivably, the content may be archived on both a remote server (ISP server 25) and locally (e.g., user PC 25 b), with policies about which programs to store in each location—more popular ones might be archived by the ISP, leaving users to archive the less popular ones themselves. In that case, the two invention archive modules/members synchronize in order to maintain the invention service 31 transparently to the end user.
[0039] The archived shows have an index that makes it easy for the user to inspect the contents of the cache, delete unwanted shows and mark/unmark shows to prevent/allow their deletion when the cache 39 is filled. The index is a searchable one, containing information provided by the invention service 31, header information from the show itself, if available, and possibly other information. Thumbnail summaries are created of the videos in the cache 39 to display to the user. An example of the user interface for selecting and caching recorded material is shown in FIG. 5.
[0040] Illustrated in FIG. 5 is an index screen view 100 of the cache 39 of broadcasts recorded (or being recorded) by invention program 31. The contents of the cache 39 are indicated at 102 by title of the show or event, date (as needed) and broadcaster/source. Also indicated is the length (in time) and size (occupied memory space) of each recorded broadcast. Those recordings that are in progress 112 have current length and size indicated as well as the fact that the recording is currently continuing.
[0041] Per user interaction with cache index screen view 100, certain ones of the recorded broadcasts are marked for deletion 106 as shown in FIG. 5. Similarly, the user may mark certain ones for saving. Further the available space in cache 39 is indicated as at 110 in FIG. 5.
[0042] As in the purview of one skilled in the art, index screen view 100 may also display an indication of where the recording is stored/cached (local or remote). Other indications are similarly suitable and in the purview of the skilled artisan.
[0043] The lower portion of cache index screen view 100 provides a summary section 104 of broadcasts currently scheduled for recording. These are the shows that were previously selected by a user through the program guide screen view 10 of FIG. 4, for capture and recording. Alternatively (as previously mentioned), the same information may also be displayed in the program guide screen view 10 of FIG. 4.
[0044] The "scheduled recording" summary section 104 is very important from the server 27 point of view because the content providers are enabled to know in advance who and how many people are interested in their broadcast shows. This information may then be used to sell commercials, and eventually better target the audience. Also, if the number of requests is too low, the broadcast show (contents) may be recorded locally rather than by the server 27.
[0045] While this invention has been particularly shown and described with references to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention encompassed by the appended claims.
[0046] Broadcasters might get uncomfortable about allowing their content to be saved if it could be easily redistributed—attempting to prevent redistribution could be one of the reasons for them to decide to only broadcast their content live. Broadcasters' cooperation is not needed to create or use the present invention 31. Another embodiment of the invention only allows content to be saved to disk that is specially marked by the content provider. Typically network broadcast shows do not have this mark set. A way to appease content providers is to maintain the cache 39 data in an obscure or encrypted format and to provide no options from the invention application 31 for the end user to locally save the corresponding show.
[0047] Also a local archive may be indexed for convenient later retrieval, by stripping captions from documents that can support them (see the SMIL standard at http://www.w3c.org, adhered to by the RealNetworks G2 format), using speech recognition or any other method of content based retrieval.

By SUSANNE M. SCHAFER
(AP) COLUMBIA, S.C. - An intriguing peek into the daily scribbles and life of author F. Scott Fitzgerald is now available online, just weeks before the opening of the movie "The Great Gatsby."
Researchers from the University of South Carolina's Thomas Cooper Library put a digital version of the famed author's handwritten financial ledger on their website last week, making it available for the first time for all readers, students and scholars.
"This is a record of everything Fitzgerald wrote, and what he did with it, in his own hand," said Elizabeth Sudduth, director of the Ernest F. Hollings Library and Rare Books Collection.
During a recent visit to the library's below-ground rare-book vault, Sudduth took the original 200-page book out of its clamshell protective cover. The ledger's yellowed pages _ with Fitzgerald's elegant, measured cursive strokes _ are a throwback to life before computer spreadsheets. The ledger shows Fitzgerald's tally of earnings from his works, the most famous of which is the novel "The Great Gatsby." The ledger lists his many short stories, books, and adaptations for stage and screen.
With the May 10 release of a new "Gatsby" movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sudduth says library officials expect an upswing in interest in its Fitzgerald collection. The ledger will be on display at the library for about a month starting May 6, Sudduth said.
The library's Fitzgerald collection is considered the world's most comprehensive, with more than 3,000 publications, manuscripts, letters, book editions, screenplays and memorabilia. It also includes Fitzgerald's walking stick, briefcase and an engraved silver flask his wife gave him in 1918.
Some parts of the collection already are online. With the ledger's move to the website and the timing of the movie, Sudduth said, officials hope to call more attention to the collection.
In the ledger, Fitzgerald lists in carefully laid out columns his various pieces of writing, the location they were printed, and the income they produced. Fitzgerald's comments are sprinkled throughout. One describes the year 1919 _ when his first novel was accepted for publication and Zelda Sayre agreed to marry him, as _ "The most important year of life. Every emotion and my life work decided. Miserable and ecstatic but a great success."
By the time Fitzgerald started the ledger, Sudduth said, "he probably knew what he was doing. He left a space for his remarks, and then the final disposition."
With a laugh, she noted: "We know he didn't spell very well. And his arithmetic wasn't much better,"
But the overall document, she said, "shows that he was far more on top of his affairs than people thought," given a reputation in later life as a heavy drinker.
"He was keeping a record of his work for the future," Suddeth said. "He kept it, he updated it."
For the past 30 years, researchers have had to rely on a limited print facsimile of the ledger, which didn't catch the varied inks and scripts in Fitzgerald's hand.
Park Bucker, a USC associate English professor, said he's excited to discuss the new ledger with his students.
"It may be a unique artifact among American authors," Bucker said. "This is going to be an amazing thing for students to pore over and dip into. He created his own database. We do it on computers now, but he did it for himself,"
Bucker also said students are fascinated by seeing something a well-known author penned in his own hand.
"Students always remark how much they love his handwriting," he said. "They think his handwriting is just beautiful, and handwriting isn't valued today."
Bucker pointed out that the ledger shows Fitzgerald made most of his income from short stories and that he was able to earn a living from his literary work. "It was the rarest of things, an author who made a living," Bucker said.
In 1925, the ledger shows Fitzgerald earned less than $2,000 for the "Gatsby" book _ the same amount he received for a single short story published in The Saturday Evening Post.
In later years, Fitzgerald added more earnings from "The Great Gatsby." He sold the foreign motion picture rights for $16,666, as noted in the ledger. In another section, he lists about $5,000 in earnings from "Gatsby" when it ran as a play in New York, Chicago and elsewhere.
USC Professor Matthew Bruccoli began to acquire items for the Fitzgerald collection in the 1950s. He received some, including the ledger, from the author's only child, daughter Frances Scott Fitzgerald, also known as Scottie. Bruccoli wanted the collection to be used as a teaching and research tool, and he gave it to the university in 1994.
Bruccoli has since died, but the collection has continued to grow. It is now is valued at more than $4 million, Sudduth said.

Staff Writer, Gannett
Finally, summer has arrived. While many folks in the Stewart and Houston County area have no doubt enjoyed the unseasonably cool temperatures and above average rain that has been the hallmark of this summer, it can't last.
As the temperatures and humidity soar, people who work in the heat need to exercise caution to avoid heat-related illness. Whether you are working for pleasure as you do yard work or work for pay on a construction site, it all comes down to the same thing: be careful.
The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration is a good resource for learning about heat-related illnesses in varying degrees. Heat illnesses range from heat rash and heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat stroke can result in death if the victim does not receive proper medical attention.
According to TOSHA, signs of heat related illnesses include headache, dizziness, fainting, weakness, wet skin, irritability, thirst, nausea, or vomiting. Some symptoms associated with heat stroke are confusion, the inability to think clearly, passing out, seizures, or no longer being sweaty.
The body normally cools itself through perspiration. During hot weather, especially with high humidity, perspiration is not adequate to keep the body cool. Body temperature can rise to dangerous levels if precautions are not taken.
To prevent heat illness, there are three simple things to remember: water, rest, shade. Whether you are on the job or working at home, you must stop and take time to drink. In the workplace, it is critical for employers to allow their employees to be able to drink water often as well as to allow them to rest in the shade or in a cool break room if the work is indoors.
Employers should take the initiative to educate their workers on how drinking water often, taking breaks, and limiting time in the heat can help prevent heat illness.
While prevention is best, employers and employees alike should know that if symptoms of heat stress or heat stroke appear, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
At home or at work, that just may save your life.

Cinema on way
Posted: February 06, 2013|
WORK to turn a huge section of Gloucester Quays into a new cinema is progressing.
Cineworld has lodged a new planning application with the city council seeking permission to put its branding around the building.
It wants to put four lit signs up there.
If all continues to go to plan, the multi-screen cinema should be up and running by October.

Mr. Libby has informed me that he is resigning to fight the charges brought against him. I have accepted his decision with deep regret. Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and talented individuals I have ever known. He has given many years of his life to public service and has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction.In our system of government an accused person is presumed innocent until a contrary finding is made by a jury after an opportunity to answer the charges and a full airing of the facts. Mr. Libby is entitled to that opportunity.Because this is a pending legal proceeding, in fairness to all those involved, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on the charges or on any facts relating to the proceeding.
Another Fitzgerald paraquote from his presser today on the "why no leak charge" question: "Knowing that [Libby] learned the classified information [about Plame] and knowing that he gave that information to someone outside the government who was not entitled to receive it, and knowing it was classified, is not enough." You need to know that he understood all of those things and disclosed it anyway. "It doesn't matter what statute you use to vindicate the [public] interest. If Mr. Libby is found guilty of the charges, it will vindicate the public interest and hold him accountable. You wouldn't say that he was convicted under the wrong statute."
Fitzgerald is essentially saying that prosecuting Libby perjury and obstruction is another way to get at the same end that prosecuting him on the leak itself would: getting to the bottom of how and why classified information was leaked to unauthorized persons, and punishing those involved (starting with Libby) ...
More Fitzgerald: "This indictment is not about the war, and persons who oppose the war or persons who favor the war ... should not look to this indictment to vindicate their feelings. ... They would be disappointed and I think it would impede the process..." (Fitzgerald also made the point that "there is no law that says if you simply give classified information to someone else, that's a crime." There is no "official secrets act" as in England. There is a narrow statute under which you could charge someone with a serious national security violation.) What it seems is that if Libby hadn't lied to the grandy jury, no indictments would have been handed down, at least at this stage... which leads to more questions -- why would Libby take that chance? He's a lawyer and surely understands the jeopardy he placed himself in. Why did he go so far as to lie to the FBI and "repeatedly" to the grand jury? To protect Cheney? To protect someone else?
I've got more questions than answers or any form of "vindication" at this point...
Bloomberg says the Indictment of One weakens Bush further.
RawStory is reporting that Fitzgerald may be holding out for much more serious charges against Karl Rove, stemming from those forged documents and possible "misuse of classified information..." (more RawStory scoopola here) ...
Libby's replacement has been named, and he's not without controversy...

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 2002 DoD will apply lessons learned from a recently concluded joint military experiment - the largest ever to shape the forces of the future, a four-star general said here today.
Sailors, soldiers, Marines and airmen across the United States participated in the Millennium Challenge 2002 experiment conducted July 24 to Aug. 15, said Army Gen. William F. Kernan, head of U.S. Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va.
"This was the first joint experiment of this scope, scale and complexity," the general explained to Pentagon reporters. The experiment, he added, involved tremendous work, contributions and planning by service members from all branches of the armed forces.
Kernan provided Pentagon reporters an early assessment of the experiment, which involved about 13,500 service members participating in the total effort. Senior DoD civilian and military leaders, he noted, will analyze collected data "to see where we go from here."
Millennium Challenge was conducted across America at nine locations featuring "live" troops and their equipment, involved in amphibious, air, and land operations, Kernan remarked, and at 17 other locations using simulated military operations. The experiment required close coordination, he noted, to ensure that all objectives were met.
The experiment, he said, focused on testing four major concepts: the Standing Joint Force Headquarters, Operational Net Assessment, Effects- Based Operations, and the Joint Interagency Coordination Group.
"If we can validate those concepts, we can then define very specifically what capabilities are necessary to satisfy those concepts and go after them," the general said.
Kernan said leaders of the experiment did not to get involved in the tactical arena, which is the responsibility of the individual services.
For example, the joint force commander used a C-17 aircraft as a mobile headquarters, flying coast-to-coast while maintaining communications with more than 400 planners and commanders during the experiment. All the while, he planned and managed major airborne and amphibious operations.
Kernan said Millennium Challenge sought to see how Information Age tools, such as secured military e-mail, streaming video and more, could be used to improve military capabilities.
Opposing forces participating in the experiment were "free-thinking," Kernan noted. However, he added, those "red" forces were at times constrained in order to achieve necessary goals.
"There are certain things you must accomplish and you are constrained by the time in which it takes to do it, so sometimes you interfere a little bit," Kernan pointed out.
The assessment of Millennium Challenge is still in progress, Kernan said, adding that it's part of DoD's "transformational journey." The next major joint experiment, he noted, is slated for 2004.
"What we were looking for is how we can be more lethal, more responsive, more agile," Kernan said, adding that the experiment points the way to how U.S. forces can dominate the battle space.
"Not only today, but also tomorrow," he concluded.

Three arrested in drug, prostitution raid
HUNTINGTON -- Three people were arrested during a raid in a Huntington apartment building Thursday morning.
Members of the Huntington Police Department's Special Emphasis Unit received multiple complaints on its drug tipline regarding drug activity and prostitution at the building in the 600 block of 6th Avenue, Capt. Rocky Johnson said in a press release.
Detectives from the unit conducted an investigation, which included surveillance on the building that yielded probable cause to obtain a search warrant at one apartment in the building, Johnson said.
When detectives executed the warrant, they found heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, prescription drugs and a firearm inside of the apartment, and evidence consistent with packaging and delivery of drugs was found inside, said Johnson.
Two men and one woman were arrested following the execution of the warrant.
Richard Miller, 63, was charged with felony conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance, and Johnson said Miller was a resident of the apartment in question.
Brendon Garner, 24, of Huntington, was charged with felony delivery of a controlled substance and receiving and transferring stolen property.
Cynthia Faulkner, 31, of Huntington, was charged with misdemeanor prostitution and misdemeanor larceny.
Information obtained at the scene led to probable cause for a second search warrant at Garner's apartment in the 1700 block of 6th Avenue, where detectives recovered an ATV that had been reported stolen in Wayne County.
Johnson said in the release that more arrests are expected as detectives continue to process evidence and review video surveillance.
Detectives also forwarded a complaint to the Code Compliance Unit at the department after they discovered "deplorable living conditions" inside the building.

Man accused of taking cell phoneJuly 24,2013Man accused of
taking cellphone
BENNINGTON A Manchester resident was charged with a felony after a woman told police he took her cellphone.
Christopher J. Stevens, 21, of Manchester pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of larceny from a person.
Officer Christopher Mason of the Manchester Police Department said Taylor Kristiansen told him May 17 that Stevens had taken her cellphone earlier that day.
Kristiansen told police Stevens spit in her face and forced her to the ground before taking the phone.
Mason said Stevens admitted to taking the phone. Stevens told Mason he was concerned because Kristiansen had gone out and come back all messed up on something so he wanted to know with whom she had been talking, according to the court affidavit.
Stevens was released without bail Monday but ordered not to have contact with Kristiansen.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...
