GEORGETOWN S.C. If you are walking on Front Street or in the Georgetown Housing Authority on Anthuan Maybank Blvd. you are being watched.
A new four lens camera has been installed at the corner of Front and Broad Streets. Another is now in place at the Housing Authority, said Georgetown Police Chief Paul Gardner.
Everything we need to do has to be about reducing crime, Gardner said when asked the purpose of the cameras. Cities and towns that have aggressively deployed cameras have had a reduction in crime.
Gardner said the cameras can be remotely watched on the laptops of law enforcement and other city leaders.
He said the video from the cameras can be used as a lead generator if there is a crime on Front Street or in the Housing Authority.
Gardner said a Community Block Grant can be used to purchase additional cameras but that is a decision council will make during the upcoming budget process.
Right now, the company that owns the cameras Statewide Security Systems is letting the city use the cameras on a one year trial basis, Gardner said.
He said he would like to see he cameras installed at all city parks and other highly used places.
The more eyes you have the more reduction in crime, Gardner said.

A former leader of a national group of public universities has been named the interim president ofCoppin State University, the university system announced Wednesday.
Mortimer H. Neufville, who had served until June as the interim president of University of Maryland Eastern Shore, will become the interim president Jan. 23, when the current president, Reginald S. Avery, steps down.
Avery received a vote of no confidence from the faculty last year. He pledged to increase the university's low graduation rate when he arrived in 2008, only to see it continue to fall.
"We are very fortunate that Dr. Neufville has accepted this appointment," University System of MarylandChancellor William E. Kirwan said in a statement. "With a history of serving higher education with distinction and effectiveness, he is well positioned to serve Coppin well during this critical transition period."
Coppin, which is located in West Baltimore, has struggled to stabilize financially and retain students over recent years. The college draws most of its 3,900 students from city schools and many need to complete remedial course work after enrolling.

Boys soccer playoffs schedule, results
Here's an update on the boys soccer playoffs with results and schedule.
We are in semifinals for all three classifications.
Here's an update on the boys soccer playoffs with results and schedule.
We are in semifinals for all three classifications.
Thoughts, notes and news from recent prep times …
Denver East's Ashi Geberkidane looked good winning Saturday's Class 5A cross country meet. He also seems at peace by choosing club soccer over prep play in a ridiculous mandate by U.S. Soccer, although Geberkidane admits that he'd love to be able to do both.
After one of the most mild seasons on record, Mother Nature is about to have her way with the first rounds of the state soccer tournaments.
According to the forcast, the cooler weather is coming on Wednesday night, which means the the 5A combatants might be spared.
Top-seeded Adams City earned the top seed in the 32-team tournament with a flawless 13-0-2 record that not only saw the Eagles go 9-0-1 in the EMAC – they tied No. 28-seed Gateway – but also conquer a revamped schedule that had some big-time soccer programs dotted into it.
Coach Ramiro Loera's Eagles – who some coaches have called the most individually talented team in the state – are sharp in the midfield and up top. Scoring has not been an issue with solid contributions coming from Daniel Devora (16 goals, 13 assists), Alberto Castro (14 goals, 11 assists) and Jonathan Roman (11 goals, 9 assists). Read more…
The Gold Crown Foundation will host a sports conference on Saturday at Lakewood High School that will feature Archie Manning and others to help equip adults with youth development skills.
It is designed to provide adults with cutting-edge skills and knowledge to help create the most safe and positive youth sports experiences possible.
Ponderosa boys soccer is competing in Class 4A this season. It might not look like it, though, if you were to scan the Mustangs' schedule or take a peek at their league.
The team has just one 4A opponent on its schedule this year, a 3-0 win over Lewis-Palmer on Sept. 4. That's due in large part to the fact that Ponderosa plays in the twelve-team Continental League, which features 11 5A programs.
"At first I wasn't happy about it," coach Jim Engels said Wednesday morning, "but then after I saw my team play, I was like, 'Wow, we could actually do good.' "
Engels' team is now 5-2-2, including 4-1 in Continental play. It means Ponderosa is currently second in the league standings with a big showdown against first-place, and fourth-ranked, Heritage (8-0-1, 5-0) looming on Thursday. Win that, and suddenly a 4A team is in position to win a 5A league. Read more…
Silver Creek won its second consecutive Class 4A Northern Regional in boys golf on Wednesday despite a scoring blunder.
Andrew Rademacher-Howe, who shot 70; Jack Adolfson, 71; and Dylan Wonnacott, 72, turned in impressive scores at Indian Peaks Golf Course to also sweep the first three individual spots.
However, the Raptors' Todd Millard, who made a 5 on No. 18, mistakenly put his back-nine total of 35 in the No. 18 scoring slot. As a result, he had to accept what was on the signed card, which amounted to 102. He would have shot an even-par 72.
Teamwise, Silver Creek (213) outdistanced Thompson Valley (223) and Broomfield (237). Josh McLaughlin (74) led Thompson Valley by finishing fourth.
Team scores — Silver Creek 213, Thompson Valley 223, Broomfield 237, Greeley Central 240, Windsor 242, Longmont 250, Niwot 250, Erie 251, Northridge 264, Roosevelt 264, Mountain View 271, Skyline 272, Berthoud 280, Fort Morgan 289, Centaurus 310, Frederick 347.
State qualifiers — Rademacher-Howe, Silver Creek, 70; Adolfson, Silver Creek, 71; Wonnacott, Silver Creek, 72;. Josh McLaughlin, Thompson Valley, 74; Alex Liss, Thompson Valley, 74; Alex Gorman, Broomfield, 74; Zach Dwyer, Thompson Valley, 75; Joe Lee, Greeley Central, 76; Seth Dykema, Longmont, 78; Justin Carlock, Windsor, 78; Nick Inslee, Centaurus, 78; Bridger Ryan, Broomfield, 79; Luke Toillion, Niwot, 79; Samuel Toillion, Niwot, 79; Dalton Anderson, Erie, 79; Danny Butherus, Greeley Central, 81; Matt Ayers, Longmont, 82; Brett Krantz, Windsor, 82; Josh Nelson, Windsor, 82; Pete Duvall, Northridge, 82.
In other Wednesday action:
Poudre moved to 5-1 on goals by Eduardo Hernandez and Manny Macias in a 2-1 victory over Monarch.
Goals by Christia Delgadillo and Caden MacKenzie pushed defending Class 5A state champion East over John F. Kennedy 2-0.
Gabe Antunez's goal in overtime lifted Centaurus over Longmont 1-0.
Colorado Academy earned an easy 9-0 victory over Cheyenne Mountain.
Nickie Blue tossed a six-hitter as 4A fourth-ranked Niwot whipped Centaurus 11-0. The Cougars are 14-0.
McKenna Kostelecky allowed nine hits and five earned runs, but 4A No. 5 Silver Creek got past Broomfield 7-5. The Raptors are 11-3.
[media-credit name="Rock Canyon" align="alignright" width="98″][/media-credit]
How much did the coaches around the state respect the Legend boys soccer program?
So much so that three weeks into the prep season, the Titans — without having played a single game — still found themselves ranked No. 9 in the Class 5A coaches poll this week.
Coach Danny Windsor's team, who will join defending Class 5A champion Denver East (among others) in St. Louis later this month at the Gateway City Classic, opened their season with a 1-0 Continental League loss to Rock Canyon on Tuesday night at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker.
Ben Bartlett scored the only goal of the match in the first half on an assist from Greyson Junggren. Read more…
Fairview's Nick Porter lifted his team to a 1-0 win over Ralston Valley on Tuesday — scoring the winning tally with 3.6 seconds left in regulation.
Eric Kronenberg had the assist.
Watch it here:
[media-credit name="Arvada West" align="alignright" width="98″][/media-credit]
They are really taking the 50th anniversary thing to heart at Arvada West. The Wildcats have played inspired ball to start the season, including Tuesday's come-from-behind 6-5 victory over Mountain Vista.
Zoe Humphries hit two home runs and drove in five runs for the 'Cats. Her two-run shot in the top of the seventh, was part of a three run inning that gave A-West a 6-4 lead.
Mountain Vista scored one in the bottom of the seventh, but were unable to plate the tying run. Jacque Rayment and Jesse Applehans each had two hits and a double in the losing effort.
Elsewhere: Brighton pounded out 11 hits in a 10-4 rout of Northglenn. The Bulldogs star of the game was Melissa Rahrich, who went 2-for-4 with 2 doubles and 4 RBIs.
Columbine edged Heritage 7-5.
Monarch scored a big win over 3A power Holy Family.
In Class 4A: Niwot moved to 6-0 with an 11-1 win over Broomfield. Nickie Blue struck out 11 Eagles and went 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs to help her own cause.
Frederick handed defending champion Windsor yet another loss, 5-2. Read more…

The Argentina women's national field hockey team (Spanish: Selección femenina de hockey sobre césped de Argentina) represents Argentina in international field hockey competitions.
The governing body is the Argentine Hockey Confederation (CAH). The current head coach is Santiago Capurro, who was Carlos Retegui's assistant during his two periods as coach, and the team is currently third in the FIH World Rankings since June 2014 after the conclusion of the 2014 World Cup.[1]
Las Leonas (The Lionesses) have appeared in five Hockey World Cup finals, including the first final in 1974, which they lost 1–0 to the Netherlands. Argentina had to settle with second place in two more finals before winning the tournament for the first time in 2002, beating the Netherlands 4–3 in the final on penalty strokes after a 1–1 draw. Argentina, led by eight-time FIH Player of the Year Luciana Aymar won again in 2010, a 3–1 victory over the Netherlands. Argentina's World Cup winning managers are Sergio Vigil in 2002, and Carlos Retegui in 2010.
Argentina has been very successful at the Summer Olympics, winning four consecutive medals (two silver, two bronze) since the 2000 edition, when they became the first women's team in any sport to win an Olympic medal for their country. Luciana Aymar is the only player that has participated and won those four medals. Also, after their first title in 2001 at a Hockey Champions Trophy, they have won the tournament five more times.
At a continental level, Argentina has dominated and won every tournament they played, including the Pan American Cup and the Pan American Games leaving the United States with second place every time until they lost the 2011 Pan American Games final for the first time.
In July 2003, after the implementation of an official World Ranking System, Argentina reached the top of the FIH World Rankings for the first time, reaching it again in 2010 after obtaining the World Cup title and once more in late 2013.
Hockey was introduced in Argentina by English immigrants in the beginning of the 20th century, and the first women's teams were officially formed in 1909.[2] In 1997, Sergio Vigil, a former player for the men's national team, was appointed coach. Under his leadership, Las Leonas achieved their first World Hockey Cup title, their first Olympic medals, their first Champions Trophy medals, and many other achievements. The team went from having a rather limited audience to becoming a national sensation, with some of the players even appearing as models in advertising campaigns.
Throughout its history, the team has developed a reputation for being tenacious even when a match appears to be lost. For this reason, a lioness was chosen as their symbol when the team qualified for the 2000 Summer Olympics. During the second round of games, Argentina played against the powerful Dutch team, and they chose this occasion to place the image of a lioness on their shirts for the first time.
The image was designed by then-player Inés Arrondo together with Vigil's sister-in-law.[3] Argentina won that match, went on to win the silver medal, and Las Leonas were born. Subsequently, the junior (under 21) team is called Las Leoncitas ("the baby lionesses" or "the lioness cubs").
The lioness logo was redesigned in 2006 by the team kit supplier, Adidas, along with Confederación Argentina de Hockey and even some of the most representative players. This is slightly different from the original, showing the lioness' tail pretending to be a hockey stick while holding a ball.[4]
The nickname also falls in line with an unwritten Argentine tradition of naming national teams after big cats: the men's rugby union team is called Los Pumas ("The Pumas"), and the women's volleyball team is known as Las Panteras ("The Panthers").

One man was wounded and another was arrested after a shooting at a North Charleston gas station early Saturday, police said.
About 1:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to the Cheapway gas station at Dorchester Road and South Allen Drive for a reported shooting, North Charleston Police Department spokesman Spencer Pryor said.
When police arrived, they found a wounded man on the ground between two vehicles, Pryor said. Officers then located a suspect lying in the driveway of a South Allen Drive residence. They found a pistol in a plastic recycle bin at the side of the house.
Pryor said the victim and suspect appeared to have been in some type of altercation before the suspect shot the victim. The suspect then ran across the parking lot toward South Allen Drive, where he was found.
The wounded man, Randy Grant, 26, of Woodley Court in Charleston, was transported to Medical University Hospital. A hospital spokeswoman said there was no information about his condition.
Bobby Warthaw, 26, was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Warthaw, of Dowling Street in North Charleston, was being held in the Charleston County jail. He also is charged with possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
Warthaw, who has a lengthy arrest history, has been on probation for the past month for breaking into a vehicle or tanks where fuel is stored, according to state records.
He's also the man Charleston police say helped them solve the June 2012 slaying of 17-year-old Marley Lion in West Ashley.
With detectives struggling to make arrests in that case and Warthaw looking for a way out of jail, he told them that someone was trying to sell the suspected murder weapon on the streets of the Ardmore neighborhood.
The month after Lion's killing, the police freed Warthaw from jail. He then arranged a meeting and bought the gun from Ryan P. Deleston for $200. The police recorded the purchase on video.
Lab experts later matched the pistol to the one used to shoot Lion.
Warthaw testified about his role in the investigation at Deleston's trial in October. He got $13,200 for acting as a police informant.
Deleston was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Warthaw has faced serious charges in the past, including armed robbery and burglary, but those charges were dropped when victims in the cases refused to testify against him or exonerated him as the perpetrator.

Help Acquia help Gartner with social software report
You might remember that a while ago, Drupal was promoted to the 'Visionaries' category in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Social Software in the Workplace. For someone unfamiliar with all the social software vendors and projects, the choice can be overwhelming and Gartner's reports can carry a lot of weight in the decision making process. Drupal's promotion to the 'Visionaries' category was a big win for all of us.
The social software market is evolving fast, and in response Gartner is working on a presentation that compares all of the different social software players in the enterprise market, including open-source projects like Drupal. As part of that process, Acquia was invited to review the presentation and provide comments about the social software landscape and Drupal's success stories. These success stories are important to help Gartner position Drupal against its many competitors. We will also be having a followup meeting with Gartner for further discussion.
Gartner considers three different use cases for social software: (i) team collaboration software, (ii) community software and (iii) networking software. Each of these scenarios have different requirements and emphasize different features of social software. User profiles and group support seems to carry a lot of weight in their evaluations. In addition, for each of these use cases, Gartner considers two different deployment scenarios: (a) sites inside the workplace and (b) externally facing websites. This effectively creates a 3x2 matrix or grid.
To help prepare for our meeting with Gartner, and to help further Drupal's competitive positioning in the enterprise we're looking for good examples in each of those categories. Good suggestions? Post them in the comments of this blog post. Remember that Gartner is focused on the enterprise, so we're looking for examples in the enterprise that carry a lot of weight. Thanks for your help!
Team collaboration, public-facing websites: A large portion of the bonniercorp.com websites are migrating to Drupal with many successes already under our belt. A key benefit for us is that we can have people in different departments all working together, each assigned user roles suitable for their requirements and greatly lessen the potential for snafu's, e.g. the SEO group can manage the metadata without fear that they may also break content, architecture, yadda, yadda.
We are also (time permitting) investigating replacing our custom-made Coldfusion-based intranet with Open_Atrium.
I would love to get in touch with you to discuss Drupal and Bonnier Corporation. I'm working on a publishing initiative at Acquia and would also like to receive some input and hear your thoughts.
I have been working on my own publishing site: http://www.cleaneconomies.com.
Shoot me an email when you have a chance: email@example.com
I work at the World Bank and we have a couple sites that could fit in with your examples for Gartner.
We have an internal-facing Open-Atrium based site that could fit in with "team collaboration software"; for more information, see Development Seed's write up:
We also have an external-facing multisite blog platform, presently hosting about 16 blogs, that might fit in the "community software" example: see http://blogs.worldbank.org/blogs.
My organization is in the throws of implementing Drupal in an enterprise setting where numerous sites must be managed. I would have to say our efforts cross the boundaries of the grid suggested here.
I'm the project manager as well as the most outspoken proponent for Drupal. With regard to the enterprise, we are looking at a multi-site approach to reduce code patching. We currently do not share MYSQL tables. Unfortunately, we are finding some obstacles with regard to integrating Drupal into our traditional static web development lifecycle.
(i) OSTIPEDIA is a Drupal site we have been working several years to implement inside our local area computer network. We have explored a broad range of Drupal modules supporting six primary areas of online functionality; ie. monitoring, search, in-depth study, personal organization, writing original documentation, peer networking.
(ii) We have also supported grants to study and enable peer-to-peer communication about the content in our public digital library. The Drupal community is something we are observing. And, we are considering how Drupal functionality might help expand peer communication toward full online community interaction.
(iii) We have conducted much analysis of our digital library to discover and map networks of authors and subjects. We have also funded published research about accelerating the spread of ideas throughout the complex networks of scientific research. (read our blog posts by Wojick, Warnick, and Watson)
I am a Chinese, there are lots of good sites powered by Drupal. Eg:
These are enterprise sites.
These are shop sites.
These are community sites
Hi Dries,
We use Drupal for OrganiK, an applied research project funded by the European Commission.
The aim of OrganiK is to develop a next-generation Knowledge Management system that fits to work practices of small corporations.
For that purpose we have extended Drupal with intelligent information processing capabilities and in the next months the system will be deployed inside five companies.
You can check a brief video of OrganiK and our project web site.
The National Strategies website (http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk) is a UK government education portal powered by Drupal and delivered by Capita, a UK service outsourcing company. The NS website uses a taxonomy driven navigation system that harnesses Apache Solr search to deliver a broad range of guidance materials to educators and consultants across the UK. The site leverages Drupal's community features to drive engagement using organic groups, wikis, discussion forums and user generated content.
Drupal is a pivotal part of the National Strategies project strategy in delivering value to the education sector now, and in future projects that require content management with a social emphasis.
We recently helped the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) built an online community extranet: http://www.adaptationportal.org/ to connect researchers.
Please let me know if you would like more information on that. It may be a good case as the WWF is a large global non-profit.
My email is Arnold[at]Appnovation[dot]com
Hi there,
our business ready Wiki might be good example of how powerful Drupal can be used for Enterprise 2.0 solutions. It is fully based on Drupal technologies and we have productive installations running at a couple of customers.
The decision to create a Wiki based on Drupal was the result of more than eight years of Wiki consulting with open source wikis like MediaWiki, TWiki and Foswiki. After making a lot of experiences with those systems we reached the boundaries of traditional wikis and spent too much time coding features that customers appreciate but the systems did not offer. This was such a pain! :-)
After having a deep look at other solutions we decided Drupal would be best fit to build a next generation Wiki. It took a lot of effort to integrate most of the feature that we loved about Wikis, like extensible permission management, LDAP integration, faceted search and so forth. Now users can create new pages by using WYSIWYG, integrate pictures, tables etc., do and undo revisions, have flexible linking of pages that goes far beyond existing mechanisms. They can create pages by links, use tags and categories for marking pages and integrate them into a facetted search function, or export every page as PDF. Later on we integrated workflows and content moderation, which are especially needed in enterprise environments .
Currently we are developing a lot of modules which should make the user experience in Drupal much more beginner friendly. We also released a couple of them allready, e.g. like tagging, wysiwyg_imageupload, content_lock or content_moderation.
In the near future we will integrate typical enterprise widgets like ToDo-Lists, configurateable dashboards, spaces for departments and much more.
Some of the new features including the complete reworked theme and usability are presented in the fair CeBIT 2010 in Hannover.
We hope that this can support your case and are looking forward to answer any further questions you might have or even demo the system. We would be happy to help you and the community positioning Drupal as a great tool for Enterprise 2.0.
For more information please have a look at our website: www.wikinovation.de
I've been working with Dokuwiki in the past. I have always desired some kind of Drupal + Dokuwiki were available. Currently I am trying to implement a Wiki on Drupal, using some of the modules publicly available. I entered wikinovation for some kind of information about if your wiki was available for non-commercial purposes, or some very basic version available as open source, but I didn't find anything about that.
My question is, as I am really convinced this is the best way to go, Drupal Wiki, what is the availability of your extended version of Drupal? Is it a commercial version only for paying customers? Please redirect me as necessary to find information about these questions.
I submitted a link to a web site I developed using DokuWiki as the framework.

A method and system for effectively and efficiently constructing a development environment for graphical user interfaces for an electronic consumer product. The basic aim of the invention tool is to automatically generate an interface in the authoring environment for customer specific target control components. This is done so by automatically creating a host platform control component (in the format of an OCX) from an existing target platform control component (in the format of a C header file). After running the invention once for every control component, a designer can then write on the host, for instance Visual Basic application code that performs calls to properties and methods of these generated control components.
1. A system for developing a graphical user interface comprising:
a. at least one target device comprising a target processor for maintaining an arrangement of graphical and control components, using a first computer language;
b. at east one host device comprising a host processor for maintaining a duplicate arrangement of duplicate graphical and control components, using a second computer language, different from the first computer language; and
c. means for linking the components and duplicate components and keeping them fully equivalent, the linking means comprising:
i. a compiler for compiling first component specification code from the first environment to the second computer language; and
ii. a procedure for generating second component specification code conversion from the second environment to the first computer language,
wherein the procedure for generating adds information lost during processing on the host.
2. A system as claimed in claim 1, whilst using a C header file for a interface of a control components in a software library.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first computer language is C and the second computer language is visual basic.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the target device is a screen-based product.
5. A computer method for establishing a development environment for an application for a target processor, using a host processor, the method comprising:
maintaining a development platform on the host processor, using a first computer language;
maintaining a runtime platform on the target processor, using a second computer language, different from the first computer language;
coordinating the platforms so that application functions on both remain fully equivalent, including:
automatically compiling first code sets from the target processor to the host processor; and
automatically converting second code sets from the host processor to the target processor,
wherein the automatically converting comprises adding information lost during processing on the host.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the target processor is in a consumer product.
7. The method of claim 5, wherein at least one of the first and second conmputer language is C.
8. The method of claim 5, wherein at least one of the first and second computer language is Visual Basic.
The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1. Present-day consumer products, such as for example television sets, and the like, get implemented with many user features, that must individually as well as collectively be rendered accessible to a user person through an appropriate graphical user interface. Now, a graphical user interface in the first place contains graphical objects that may include items like buttons, sliders, hotspots, and indicators of various kinds such as icons and text. Further elements of such interface are functional objects that link the graphical objects to an associated underlying functionality. The graphical objects are represented by so-called widget components that contain the facilities and restrictions of the underlying display hardware. An example of such widget may have properties like "backgroundcolour", events like "clicked" and methods like "redraw". The functional objects are represented by so-called control components. An example is a tuner component, having properties like "maximumfrequency", events like "channelfound", and methods like "setchannelnumber".
Now for constructing a graphical user interface in an effective and efficient manner, it is necessary to have available a well-defined design environment that provides a true likeness (WYSIWYG) of the eventual imagery on the display of the product. To build such an environment for a particular graphic IC is expensive, and moreover, may be targeted to an uncertain realization. With respect to the target platform, the defining of features of the display hardware is nowadays realized through embedded and callable library software. Such libraries may in time be frequently amended in successive versions of the display hardware in question or in replacement types for that display.
To be able to define the coupling between the two categories of component, the designer of an application should know the application programming interface (API) of the control components. This interface could be defined by various different economic entities in the manufacturing column and may not be uniform in time. Both widget components and control components on the target platform are generally defined in a general purpose language like C that has a relatively low degree of abstraction.
Therefore, implementation of graphical user interfaces directly on the target is time-consuming and costly. Now there exist generic platforms like the PC, that allow the running of various relatively higher abstracted programming environments such as Microsoft Visual Basic that are well suited for creating graphical user interfaces on that platform. Nowadays more and more of those generic development environments are used for constructing graphical user interfaces on specific hardware. In that case communication to the host platform (the PC) of the facilities and restrictions of the target platform is crucial.
In consequence, amongst other things, it is an object of the present invention to allow the automatic defining of all kinds of control components in the graphical user interface as based on the underlying library software, while recognizing that widget components on a host platform such as a PC, and a target system, such as a television set, may be too wide apart from each other to be convertible automatically.
Therefore, in its most extensive version, the following aspects are necessary, although in less complete solutions, a subset of the following may suffice:
Widget components on the host platform representing the widget components of the target, so that the application programmer (designer) will have the facilities and restrictions of the target platform available.
Interfaces of the control components on the host platform representing the control components of the target, so that the application programmer may indicate the link from the graphics to the underlying functionality. Optionally, the application programmer may construct the implementation of the interface, thereby effecting a certain degree of functionality simulation on the host.
A compiler that translates the host application to a target application.
Now therefore, according to one of its aspects the invention is characterized by the items recited in the characterizing part of claim 1.
The invention also relates to a system being arranged for implementing the above method. Further advantageous aspects of the invention are recited in dependent claims.
The invention provides a tool to generate the framework of a control OCX (cf. the glossary) from a C library of target control code. In a particular embodiment, the invention should be an integral part of a graphical development environment on a generic platform, such as Visual Basic for the PC. The generated control OCX will generally not perform the control functions, inasmuch as it will be decoupled from the hardware. However it will present the same interface inside the authoring environment as available on the target platform, and thus avoid mismatch after subsequent code generation. Such and further aspects and advantages of the invention will be discussed more in detail along with the disclosure of preferred embodiments hereinafter, and in particular with reference to the appended Figures that show:
FIG. 1, general architecture of a compiler system;
FIG. 2, overview of an authoring environment;
FIG. 3, positioning of the invention in the architecture of an authoring environment;
FIG. 4, an exemplary part of the input for the invented compiler;
FIGS. 5a and 5 b, an exemplary part of the use of the output of the invented compiler in an application designed on the host.
For better insight into the invention, the following definitions are given:
Application Programming Interface
A configurable part of the system which has properties, methods and responds to events. Within Visual Basic components are OCX-es.
An OLE container which may contain OCX-es.
Control component
A component that controls part of the functionality of a TV or other display.
A trigger from a user input device or system device, e.g. remote control 'volume up', front panel 'off', channel tuned signal.
A function belonging to an OCX that can be called at runtime by a container application like Visual Basic.
OLE Control Extension. A self contained plug in, binary software module that can only be used inside an application like Visual Basic. For example, a button or a timer.
Object Linking and Embedding: Microsoft's component based software technology.
Post Processor
Name commonly used for the target code generator.
A variable belonging to an OCX that can be changed at either design or run time by a container application such as Visual Basic, e.g. a button's colour or icon, a timer's timeout.
Target System
The graphic IC for which authoring is required.
Target widget
A (graphical) component in a form suitable for use on the target system.
Visual Basic
Graphical development environment for the creation of Microsoft Windows applications. Visual Basic may inter alia be used to create OCX-es.
Window gadget, a component with a representation on screen, e.g. button, slider.
FIG. 1 shows the general architecture of a compiler system. Item 20 represents the input code that comes as a finite-length string of formatted information items defined according to an appropriate origin syntactic structure. For compiling, the string is first fed to parser subsystem 22, that under execution of various analyzing substeps, divides the string in functional code units, whilst maintaining any pre-existing cross-referencing among the various functional code units as received. This parsing then will create an intermediate data structure symbolized by item 24 that usually is constructed around some notion of hierarchy, and has thus been symbolized by a pyramid-like shape. In subsystem 26, the structure so formed is processed under the constraints of a chosen target syntactic structure, to thereby produce an output code 28 that thereby constitutes a mapping of the original code functionality in another language. By itself, compilers are tools that allow automatic conversion of virtually any program into another computer language, and as a general class, compilers represent common general knowledge.
FIG. 2 gives an overview of the authoring environment from a user's point of view. The host of the authoring system is a PC; the target is a consumer product (for example a TV-set or handheld telephone) which contains one or more ICs for graphic (OSD) and control functionality. Widget and control components are provided, both on the host side as well as on the target side, having the same functionality on the host and target side. The components on the target side are realized as C software libraries. The components on the host side are realized as OCX-es. An application designer uses the supplied host components in order to create and test an application at a high abstraction level. Once the designer is satisfied with a design after simulation on the PC, this design can be processed (translated) automatically to target software, which will then be compiled and linked with the target components. Finally the application can be tested on the target.
FIG. 3 shows the invention (block 41) that transforms a Control API in the form of a C header file (block 40) into a Control OCX (block 42), and some other subsystems of the authoring environment. The figure does not cover the total authoring environment system but only those subsystems that are relevant to the invention. Block 44 represents Visual Basic version 5 that forms the base of the authoring environment. In Visual Basic the designer can use two types of OCX'es to create an application: the Widget OCX'es (block 43) for the graphical part of the user interface of the application and the Control OCX'es (block 42) to control the hardware (for example the TV). Block 46 represents the Post Processor, a compiler that translates the application (block 45) that is designed in Visual Basic into a C application (block 47). The Post Processor creates this application by translating all instances of Widget and Control OCX'es with their properties and Visual Basic code to C code. Finally a general C compiler (block 49) may be used to compile the C program to ROM code (block 50).
FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary part of the compiler input. The input is a C header file containing variables and function declarations (block 48 of FIG. 2). The header file specifies how to set or read the state of a piece of hardware by a C program. In this example there exists a header file that specifies how to control a tuner. For example, you can set the frequency range, used by the tuner when it is searching for valid programs, by setting the minfreq and maxfreq variables to a certain value, and assigning a channel number to a frequency by calling the SetChannelNumber function.
FIGS. 5a, 5 b, in correspondence with FIG. 4, illustrate an example of how to use the output of the invented compiler (block 41 in FIG. 3) in the authoring environment. The output (the generated Control OCX, block 42 in FIG. 3) is the white square with the name of the header file on it ("tuner" in this case). You can use this object in Visual Basic at design-time in the same way you use the objects to construct a graphical user interface (the widget OCX'es, block 43 in FIG. 3). During the design, the location, orientation, size, shape, caption, name, colour and various other attributes of a particular control may be amended, by keying, dragging and other control mechanisms.
In FIG. 5a, the tuner Control OCX is placed together with some Widget OCX'es representing the graphical user interface of the application. Since the variable declarations of the tuner header file are translated to properties of the tuner Control OCX and the function declarations of the tuner header file are translated to methods of the tuner Control OCX, it is possible to simulate the manipulation of the concerned piece of hardware (the tuner in this example).
In FIG. 5b this is illustrated by a piece of code that is written by the application designer in the code window of Visual Basic. In this particular case, the SetChannelNumber function will be called if the 'Buttonl control' sends the event that it has been pressed with the OK-key of the remote control. Due to the fact that the tuner is not part of the graphical part of the designed application, it will be invisible when the application is executed in Visual Basic run-time mode. Further, according to the Visual Basic syntax, various widget components have been specified in the Figure, that respectively represents the tuner menu, the set definition, the specifying of a quantity, here the channel number "12", the incrementing and decrementing buttons, and one control component, the newly introduced "tuner" component.
The invention produces a Visual Basic control file (.ctl) and project file (.vbp) which together form a Visual Basic project and can be compiled into a control OCX or used as a Visual Basic subproject.
The invention translates C code constructs into higher level programming language constructs. In general, such higher level language has less detailed constructs available, for instance C is strongly typed and allows for pointer arithmetic, while Visual Basic language is/does not. Basically, the translation from C to Visual Basic is a non-injective mapping function and information is lost. The invention should provide this missing information to the Post Processor that will re-generate this information. One possible solution is to let the invention generate a conversion table that the Post Processor can use.
When the invention has generated the control OCX, it will become available for the designer in the standard Visual Basic toolbox indicated by a standard icon.
All control components are indicated by the same icon, however they can be distinguished by moving the cursor on top of the icon and reading the name of the component. Every control component bears the same name as its original C header file from which it was created. When an instance of such a control component is placed on a VB form, it is visualized on this form, for instance by a white rectangle showing its name in the left top corner (see FIG. 5a).
In simulation mode, the application code can read/write properties, call methods, and react on events from the generated control component. Initially, these actions have no effect, since the bodies on the methods in the generated components are empty (they are just stubs). However, it is possible to manually write Visual Basic code in the bodies so that it has some functionality in simulation mode. An example of such functionality could be a simulation panel that shows all current (emulated) hardware parameter values. This way, the designer will get some feedback on the control components in his design. Obviously, you can not test the control functionality itself, because it is decoupled from the target hardware.
The method described herein may to a large part be applicable to another type of application than graphical user interfaces. The principle is that a part of the features translates immediately from host to target, whereas for others, the host has only dummy functionality, whereas the target platform is fully operative. The automatic compilation again ensures the immediate transferability.

By: John Doetkott
(ABC 6 News) -- The city of Austin is getting closer to launching a multi-million dollar flood mitigation project for Turtle Creek.
City officials recently secured a $1.8 million grant from the DNR to help pay for the project, which is expected to cost around $3.3 million.
And while city officials are pleased, not everyone is so keen on the idea.
That's because while much of the city's flood mitigation plan involves building flood walls and berms to keep waters out of homes, another part may move people out of their homes as well.
Jerry Adams and his wife have lived in their home on the southwest side of Austin for the past five years.
Turtle Creek runs directly behind their house, but still Adams says, so far, flooding hasn't been an issue.
"The only flooding we get is way in the back yard, just the corner of the back yard gets water," Adams said. "There's nothing back there anyway."
And yet, Adams' home is one of at least six specific properties the city is thinking about buying as part of its larger flood project.
City officials say in the long run it will be cheaper than using other flood mitigation strategies, but for homeowners like Adams, it means losing his home.
"Instead of making us turn away from the problem, why don't they just come in here and do something with my piece of property to make it so that we don't get water back here?" Adams said.
Despite spending thousands of dollars on improvements and running a daycare out of the ground floor of their home, Adams and his wife reluctantly searched for new homes on Tuesday night.
"My wife thinks that doomsday is coming and we're going to have to find a place to live," Adams said. "We haven't seen anything that matches what we got."
And while the city continues to prepare for rising flood waters, Adams and his wife hope the floods and the move never come.
"I love it here," Adams said. "I'm not ready to move."
At this point nothing has been set in stone, but city officials will continue to look at the city engineer's recommendations and come up with a final plan in the coming months.

What is the difference between the commercial Christmas lights and the standard Christmas lights?
There are a few principle differences between our commercial grade LED Christmas lights and our standard grade Christmas lights.
1. Our commercial Christmas lights use an 20 gauge wire which is thicker and more durable than the 22 gauge wire used by the standard grade light strings.
2. The commercial light sets utilize threaded, coaxial compression fitting connectors. These connectors help prevent moisture infiltration and make it nearly impossible for strings to become disconnected. This is good for installations or applications where it might be very difficult to reconnect light sets if they are loose or become disconnected.
3. The commercial Christmas lights require a power adapter that plugs into the coaxial connector which, in turn, plugs into a standard plug.
4. Our commercial Christmas lights can be used with a number of our connector accessories that make large and complex installations easier.
The commercial led Christmas lights are a good choice for large outdoor installations where light sets will be exposed to extreme weather conditions and where installation locations are difficult to reach.
Lighting diagram for your commerical xmas lighting.
Do you have a brochure or anything showing the connectors and the commercial lighting being set up? I would like to see this if at all possible, so I can determine what I will need for a 3 story home. I have my home outside of the USA and would like to purchase your products before I make my permanent move next year.
Thank you,

Learn more about our TourzPlus™ partner tours and how they differ from regular ExperiencePlus! bicycle tours.View Day-by-Day ItineraryHide Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Palma de Majorca
Highlights: Welcome dinner, your first ride
Take a short taxi ride and meet us in a country hotel (Finca) near the village of Esporlas
in the foothills of the Sierra Tramuntana. We'll fit bikes and have a chance to get used to the climate on a short trip to the countryside. The ride begins with a gradual ascent into the Sierra Tramuntana mountain range toward the village of Valdemossa. Take time to marvel at the historic architecture of the most beautiful village on Majorca. Many artists have made Valdemossa their home, among them Frederic Chopin. 27k (17 miles), 1000ft of climbing.
Day 2: Esporlas to Deià
Highlights: Climb 5 passes, the coast
An epic ride takes us through the Southern Tramuntana mountains. Five passes with seemingly
endless switchback climbs on moderate grades and exciting downhills. You will experience Majorca's truly spectacular coastline for the first time. On your way to Deià, you will enjoy amazing views of the Mediterranean from high. If you've chosen the 4 and 5 star accommodation option you will stay overnight in an exquisite Mallorquin mansion, the famous La Residencia (selected in "100 places to go", others will be at a very nice hotel nearby. Distance 50-100 km (30-60 miles) up to 7000ft climbing. Shorter options are available.
Day 3: Deià to Monnaber
Highlights: More climbing, olive groves and orchards, dinner
Start the day with a long, winding and exhilarating downhill ride into Soller, before we begin the climb over famous Coll de Soller. Then we tackle the Coll de Horno in the shadow of Mallorca's highest mountain, Puig Mayor, standing at 1445m (4,800'). After a well deserved rest in the mountain village of Orient we continue with a fast descent to Alaro and then through olive fields and orchards on to our luxurious finca at Monnaber. Here they produce their own olive oil from trees 500-1000 years old. Dinner will be an amazing experience. Distance 60-90 km (40+ miles) up to 5000' climbing, shorter options are available.
Day 4: Monnaber to Pollensa
Highlights: Market day in Sineu
Today we ride on very quiet country roads through orchards, fields and small villages toward the agricultural center of the island. Wednesday is market day in Sineu and with a little imagination you are taken back to a medieval setting. You can buy anything from donkeys to silverware in the narrow walkways and plazas around the church on the islands?s largest market. After the visit to the market we tackle the famous climbs to Santuari De Cura and Santuari de Sant Salvador. The first climb is optional, the second takes us to our mountain top retreat in the monastery of Sant Salvador, built in 1342. The monastery sits an an elevation of 500m/1650ft and offers sweeping views across the island and to the Mediterranean sea. Distance: 62 or 93 km / 40 or 57 miles, 3000 or 5000ft
Day 5: Pollenca
Highlights: Options abound.
Today your cycling muscles get a little bit of a break (or not!). You can choose the shortest distance possible across the island to the medieval town of Pollenca. Or you choose a detour and turn this day into another big one. There is another mountain top monastery worth visiting! For the remaining 3 nights we will be staying at a small family run hotel right in the old town of Pollenca for a really authentic experience. Our hotel is located close to the town square with its 13th century church built by the Knights Templar and the 365 steps up Calvary hill.
Distance: 70-100km / 37-60 miles, climbing varies.
Day 6: Cap Formentor
Highlights: This is the ride you've been waiting your entire life for.
Cap Formentor, the very northern tip of the island, is our destination today. A winding road along steep cliffs offers an entertaining ride with breathtaking views of the deep blue sea. On our way we will rest at a secluded beach and have a look at the world famous Hotel Formentor, a hide out for political refugees during WW II. The road to Formentor easily ranks among the world's most scenic rides. Our return journey will allow us to explore the beach resort of Porto Pollenca. Distance 70 km (42 miles) with more available.
Day 7: Pollenca
Highlights: Coll de Sa Bataia
On our last day of cycling we will cross the northern Sierra. After some fast warm up cycling into the foothills we will tackle the extremely scenic climb of Coll de Sa Bataia. Here you have the option of continuing for a truly epic ride, or you can have lunch at the monastery at Lluc followed by a an exciting downhill back to Pollenca. Have a coffee on the plaza at the base of the 365 stairs leading up to the church at
Calvary Hill. Those who prefer the long route will descend down to Sa Calobra. This switchbacking and twisting road clings to the mountainside while descending into a steep canyon. It is the Mallorquin road builder's masterpiece and for many cycling greats, including Lance Armstrong, the climb back up was a favorite spring training ride. It is a great measuring stick for cyclists from all around
the world. After you top out you will be rewarded with another fast descent to Pollenca. Distance 70-120 km (40-72 miles) Up to 6600 ft of climbing.
Day 8: Transfer back to Palma de Mallorca
Highlights: Palma de Mallorca
It is time to say goodbye. In the morning you will be shuttled to the airport or your hotel in Palma for an extended stay. If you are staying in Palma make sure you visit the cathedral of Palma de Majorca, also known as the Cathedral of Light. It is the second largest cathedral in Spain and it took over 300 years to build.
A walk through the narrow passages and pathways of Palma's old city is also a must.

Absolutely the lowest form of life on two legs. These creeps have absolutely no soul. Put them away for a long time.
A win-win bill. More badly needed revenue for the state and healthcare in particular, and possibly a reduction in the number of smokers in this state and a corresponding reduction in heathcare problems related to smoking.
Hope this thing makes it through despite our regressive governor's opposition.
Cinderella Man and Seabiscuit were great depression era movies.
The best documentary I have seen is Hoop Dreams. It really tells it like it is about kids putting everything into making it into the NBA and then falling short of their dream.
During the 2008-09 regular season, the Hornets regressed from the 2007-08 season in almost every statistical category except free throws and blocks. Hopefully, they can make some sense of that and do whatever is necessary to improve for next year.
It is now in the hands of George Shinn, Jeff Bower and Byron Scott.
Thanks goodness we didn't have to see this. It must have set some sort of playoff record for futility. They should just forfeit the last game. Scott is a terrible coach, let him go too. He doesn't know how to motivate or anything.
All he did was depend on Chris Paul to create the offense and when Paul was covered, the whole team just fell apart and gave up. They should all be fined by the league for lack of effort !!!
We don't have a center. That should be the number one priority during the off season. Also, a good three point shooter and a good back up point guard to give Paul a rest.
Keep: Get rid of:
Paul Everyone else including Peja and Chandler
Let's get this season over so we can start concentrating on rebuilding.
The Denver plan is to slow down Paul as best they can. That means the rest of the team has to step up big.
A tired, worn out team with no rebounders.
They need to get a young, athletic big man in the draft.
Even with Chandler they would be getting out rebounded.
Also a new back up point guard ( can they get Pargo back from the Russians ?) and another three point shooter.
Armstrong, one rebound ?? And the point guard led the team in rebounds ?
That's pitiful.
Williams usually plays Paul to at least a standoff.
So where's the rest of the team ???
A two man team, plain and simple.
No playoffs the way things are going now. Phoenix will catch us.
Credit the T wolves forwards, they did a good job on West defensively. Remember, this team beat us back in January and then we barely beat them at our place back in Feb.
Except for Chris Paul - no heart, no hustle.
This team needs a quick infusion of youth and athleticism. These guys that just stand around need to go.
The Hornets just don't do well against young athletic teams like the Bulls and the Hawks. Some of those guys just don't have the energy to keep up with the younger players.
Chris Paul leading in all three categories at half ? That is not good. Is the rest of the team taking the night off ?
That's typical Lousiana. Cut the important things like higher education and health care and protect all the superfluous pet projects of the politicians.
Could it be that the Tigers were just an overachieving team during the regular season and have now come back down to earth?
Who's supposed to be guarding Jamison?
Williams was injured more this season than Paul. He is just rounding into shape after being injured during the first part of the season. So scratch point #1.
Even though he may have better skills that CP3, it is the chemistry thing and what a player brings to his team that makes Paul so valuable to the Hornets. Who cares about individual career accomplishments? It's the team that counts.
The fact that Nagin has not fired Veronica White yet tells me that he is behind whole thing.
