Pixelmetrix will demonstrate a PSIP compliance monitoring for its DVStation monitoring platform at NAB2004.
When used with either the SMPTE-310, ASI or 8-VSB RF interfaces, the functionality provides terrestrial operators and cable head-ends a reliable and cost effective insurance policy against non-compliant broadcasts.
The DVStation allows operators to measure 8-VSB modulation quality, monitor the MPEG-2 transport stream, PSIP compliance, and validate program content. A graphical display uses color coding highlights actual abnormal behavior.
Unattended monitoring of RF, modulation and transport stream parameters can be accomplished through user-defined alarms. DVStation's alarm sub-system can trigger actions that include simple log entries, audible alerts, SNMP traps, contact closures, and transport stream recording (96Mb/s) with internal playback. Other user programmable actions can include email or pager notification.

David LaBorde started his career in the publishing business after graduating from UW-Eau Claire with a journalism degree.
He soon switched to the education field and has been inside a school for more than 40 years.
So that's why when he got a call regarding the open principal's position at Waukesha West High School from the School District following the abrupt resignation of David Towers he jumped at the opportunity.
"It happened pretty quickly," said LaBorde, who lives in Waukesha. "But I think it's been a very smooth transition."
Towers resigned on Jan. 4 and four days later LaBorde took over at West.
For LaBorde, it marked a return to the high school scene. He began his career in California where he served many roles that ranged from teacher, coach, athletic director and principal at a high school.
Looking to return to the Midwest - he grew up in the Fox Cities in northeastern Wisconsin - he took a job as the Campbellsport High School principal for three years.
He then served as the principal at New Berlin West Middle/High School for 15 years before retiring after the 2009-10 school year. In the meantime, he stayed busy teaching at Carroll University in the Education Department and worked in the Whitefish Bay School District.
"I think I'm always looking for opportunities to stay involved in educating young people," LaBorde said.
When asked what appealed to him about Waukesha West, LaBorde gave a lengthy list.
"I don't know anything that's not appealing," LaBorde said. "It's a great school with a staff that is really engaged with the students.
"And we have a dedicated group of teachers who have the best interest of the kids. And the parents I've met are really supportive and welcoming."
While this is the first time he is an administrator in the Waukesha School District, LaBorde is familiar with the district. His two children are Waukesha North graduates.
LaBorde said he doesn't know how long he will be at West. But he doesn't view himself as an interim principal, either.
"I don't," he said. "I come to work not with a mind-set of an interim anything. I think that term can be taken as someone just here putting in hours until the next person comes along.
"I don't want to be perceived that way. I'm embracing my time here and I want to help the school in any way I can."
And that's what he said he's been doing his whole career.
"It's a job I take very seriously and it's a big position," said LaBorde who credited his assistant principals for helping him during this transition. "It's an unbelievable opportunity to impact students and their lives and I think education is one of the most important professions there is."

OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/11/13 -- The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, has issued the following statement regarding the loss of an external hard drive from an HRSDC office in Gatineau, Quebec which contained personal information of 583,000 Canada Student Loans Program borrowers between 2000-2006:
Full details are available in the attached backgrounder.
"I want all Canadians to know that I have expressed my disappointment to departmental officials at this unacceptable and avoidable incident in handling Canadians' personal information. As a result, I have directed that departmental officials take a number of immediate actions to ensure that such an unnecessary situation does not happen again.
"The department will be making every effort to contact the individuals whose information was lost. This includes direct notification to those for whom we have current contact information. I am releasing all details on the breach publicly and we will be working with a number of external partners to ensure that Canadians are made aware of the data loss. The Department is continuing its investigation. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner has been consulted. My office has engaged the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on this matter, given its serious nature.
"I have requested that HRSDC employees across Canada receive comprehensive communications on the seriousness of these recent incidents and that they participate in mandatory training on a new security policy to ensure that similar situations do not occur again. Further, I have instructed that the new policy contain disciplinary measures that will be implemented for staff, up to and including termination, should the strict codes of privacy and security not be followed.
"On behalf of our Government, I want to reassure Canadians that we are serious about protecting their personal information. As Minister, I will ensure that every effort is taken so that HRSDC meets the expectations of Canadians in keeping their information safe and secure."
This news release is available in alternative formats on request.
In late 2012, the department of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) informed the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of the loss of a USB key, which contained the personal information of over 5,000 Canadians.
-- While reviewing this incident, departmental officials learned of a subsequent serious loss of Canadians' personal information. -- Although the search is ongoing, an external hard drive has been deemed lost from an HRSDC office in Gatineau, Quebec. -- The Department is continuing its investigation. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner has been consulted. The office of the Minister has engaged the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on this matter, given its serious nature.
Details regarding loss of the hard drive
-- A hard drive containing personal information on 583,000 Canada Student Loans borrowers dated from 2000-2006 has been deemed lost at an HSRDC office in Gatineau, Quebec, although the search is ongoing. -- The file contained information including student names, dates of birth, Social Insurance Numbers, addresses and student loan balances from recipients across the country (except Quebec, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories as they manage their own student loan programs). -- Personal contact information of 250 HRSDC employees was also on the hard drive. -- No banking or medical information was included on the drive. -- The client information was saved onto an external hard drive as a back- up storage option.
Timeline of events
-- November 5, 2012: A HRSDC employee discovered that an external hard drive was missing. Search efforts began. -- November 28: The Departmental Security Officer was notified. -- December 6: Discovery that personal information of Canada Student Loans Program clients was on the hard drive. -- December 14: The Office of the Privacy Commissioner was notified. -- January 7: The incident was referred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. -- January 11: Canadian public was informed of the incident.
Process for inquiries and more information
HRSDC is sending letters to individuals affected, for whom we have current contact information, to advise them of the incident and what steps to take to help protect their personal information.
A toll-free number has been set-up at 1-866-885-1866 (or 416-572-1113 for those outside of North America) for individuals to verify if they are affected by this incident, and to ask additional questions regarding this issue. Hours of operation will be 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. (EST), 7 days a week, starting Monday, January 14, 2013, for as long as needed.
People with a hearing or speech impairment and using a teletypewriter (TTY) can call 1-800-263-5883. Hours of operation will be 8:00 a.m. -8:00 p.m. (EST), 7 days a week, starting Monday, January 14, 2013, for as long as needed.
All details on this incident and how Canadians can protect their personal information are available at http://www.canlearn.ca/eng/main/spotlighton/privacy/index.shtml
New HRSDC policy for storing secure information
The Minister has directed that the overall policy for security and storage of personal information at HRSDC be strengthened and improved. The highlights are:
-- New, stricter protocols to be implemented immediately. Portable hard drives are no longer permitted. Unapproved USB keys are not to be connected to the network; -- Immediate risk assessments of all portable security devices used in the Department's work environment to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place; these assessments will continue on a regular, ongoing basis; -- Mandatory training for all employees regarding the proper handling of sensitive information, including personal information; -- Implement new data loss prevention technology, which can be configured to control or prevent the transfer of sensitive information; -- Disciplinary measures that will be implemented for staff, up to and including termination, should the strict codes of privacy and security not be followed.

I'm not particularly impressed with the recent debates in YouTube format hosted by CNN. The cable network's management of the process has involved too many serious errors in judgment for that to go unnoticed. But in the end it's the candidates' responses which mark the low point. Even so, these debates have their moments, and I find on occasion there are passages that are truly inspirational. Last night, John McCain's response to a question about waterboarding was just that. He found the right pitch and the right moral voice on the question, and his words lifted the debate up for a few minutes on what continues to emerge, just as John McCain says, as the defining issue in the 2008 campaign. This is the not-to-be-missed exchange from the debate.
The moral clarity and vision of McCain's answer was perfectly balanced by the bankruptcy of Romney's. In the end, the former Massachusetts governor ducks by saying that he would turn to his ultimate guru for guidance: Cofer Black, the Vice Chair of Blackwater USA. Mr. Black is known for his bravado, including a pledge to the White House that he would send them Osama bin Laden's head in a box packed with dry ice. But of course it was Mr. Black who failed in efforts to catch bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders as they disappeared into the caves and ravines of Tora Bora. He moved from that high accomplishment to Blackwater, which is now engulfed in a series of scandals reflecting questionable management practices. Moreover, CIA officers complain that Black's move to Blackwater entailed the privatization of vital national security relationships for personal profit, another hallmark of abuse in the Bush Administration.
McCain is turning for guidance to American military tradition and ethics. Romey on the other hand draws on Hollywood cartoons and adventurists. It's quite a difference. And at the moment, it looks like the Republican base will take Chuck Norris over George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower any day.
Among the other candidates in the Republican field, Huckabee is clearly in the process of transforming his position on the torture question. He's drawing closer to John McCain's view with each passing debate. I'll go out on a limb and say we'll soon see three Republican candidates taking a clear-cut anti-torture position: John McCain, Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee. Not coincidentally, the first two are the Republican candidates who consistently draw the most support from the active-duty military. Huckabee is clearly intent on pitching more effectively to the same community.

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Mercantile Capital Corporation, which ranks as one of the leading providers of owner-user commercial real estate financing for small business owners via the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loan program, announced today that it finished 2013 with closed loans worth more than $223.504 million in total project costs.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140115/MN46635)
Chris Hurn, CEO of Mercantile, said that 2013 was the second most productive year in the company's history. "Even without the SBA 504 refinance or FMLP programs, our loan volume for 2013 was up 77.3% over our 10-year annual average," said Hurn. "It's clear there's demand from small business owners for this type of financing for growth and expansion."
The largest single loan for Mercantile in 2013 was for a $25.8 million hotel acquisition and construction project in Oklahoma. With flagged hotels accounting for nearly half of its 2013 loan volume, the company has become a go-to source of financing for this property type.
Geof Longstaff, Mercantile's Chairman, said that construction projects also contributed to the company's success in 2013. "We closed almost as many construction projects as we did acquisition projects last year," said Longstaff. "We were limited by legal lending limits in the amount of construction lending we could do; otherwise we likely would have taken on more small business construction projects." Both Longstaff and Hurn cite the demand for construction financing as a sign that the small business sector is gaining more confidence as the economy continues to recover from the Great Recession.
About the SBA 504 Loan Program
The SBA 504 loan program allows small business owners to finance fixed assets (commercial real estate and equipment) with long-term, below-market, fixed interest rates. These loans are designed to finance the total project cost, including purchase price, construction/renovations, equipment, soft costs, and closing costs. A typical 504 project requires only 10 percent equity (down payment) from the small business borrower, with the remaining amount split between a first mortgage provided by a commercial lender and a second mortgage provided by a Certified Development Company (CDC). The program is self-funded and historically has been operated at a zero-subsidy status.
About Mercantile
Mercantile Capital Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Florida National Bank, is one of the nation's leading providers of commercial real estate financing for small business owners via the SBA 504 loan program. As of December 31, 2013, Mercantile has closed 514 loans to fund projects worth more than $1.39 billion in 39 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. A primary aim of the SBA 504 loan program is job creation and retention, and the company's lending activity has helped create and retain a total of 9,403 permanent jobs since 2003. An industry leader for more than a decade, Mercantile has been on the forefront of efforts to grow the SBA 504 program by making it more widely known and available to small business owners.

In the world of DevOps there are 'known good practices' – aka 'patterns' – and 'known bad practices' – aka 'anti-patterns.' Many of these patterns and anti-patterns have been developed from real world experience, especially by the early adopters of DevOps theory; but many are more feasible in theory than in practice, especially for more recent entrants to the DevOps scene.

Catalanotto heading for Huntsville
Houston - General manager Doug Melvin just told us that Frank Catalanotto is headed for Class AA Huntsville, where he will begin playing in the outfield tomorrow.
The Brewers want to monitor Catalanotto for a week or so to see if he might help them on their bench. He was released by Texas at the end of spring training and was without a job until the Brewers signed him to a minor-league deal last week.
If Catalanotto swings the bat well, he'll probably be called up by the Brewers, who will have to decide who goes off their bench. Probably, second baseman Hernan Iribarren, who was just called up to replace injured Rickie Weeks.
"He's still got to perform," said Melvin. "There are no promises."
If Catalanotto is added to the roster, Melvin said it would be at the pro-rated minimum salary of $400,000.

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. Reports Results For Second Quarter 2012
ATLANTA, Aug. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE MKT: APTS) (the "Company" or "Preferred Apartment Communities") today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Unless otherwise indicated, all per share results are reported based on the weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis for the period. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110420/HS87275LOGO )"We are excited that our results for the second quarter exceeded the top end of our guidance with Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders of $830,980," said John A. Williams, Preferred Apartment Communities' President and CEO. Williams added, "We are also pleased that our net cash from operations of $869,992 was more than sufficient to fund our second quarter dividends on both our Common Stock and our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock. Given our performance expectations for the second half of 2012, we continue to believe that our net cash from operations will be more than sufficient to cover all of our projected dividends for 2012 at the current rate." Second Quarter 2012 The Company reported that net cash from operations was $869,992 for the second quarter 2012, compared with net cash used in operations of $697,122 for the second quarter of 2011. The Company reported Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders, or AFFO, was approximately $830,980 for the second quarter 2012, compared with AFFO of approximately $430,000 for the second quarter 2011. For the second quarter 2012, the Company reported Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, of $596,671, compared with FFO of approximately - $1.2 million for the second quarter 2011. AFFO is calculated by beginning with FFO and eliminating certain items that we believe by their nature are not comparable from period to period or tend to obscure the Company's actual operating performance. A reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO is included in the Supplemental Financial Data attached to this press release on our website.

Tuesday, 6 May 2014 | MYT 1:55 PM
VIENNA (Reuters) - The foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine met briefly on the sidelines of a Council of Europe conference in Vienna, Austria's foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
"There was a short greeting. They spoke briefly, but not by themselves," a ministry spokesman said of the meeting, late on Monday, between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ukrainian Acting Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia.
Austria chairs the Council of Europe human rights group at the moment and is hosting a meeting of 30 foreign ministers on Tuesday to discuss ways to defuse the situation in Ukraine, where the government is trying to quell an insurrection by pro-Russian activists.
Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz on Monday played down chances for a breakthrough.
"You cannot expect miracles from the conference because there won't be any, but hopefully, and this is my expectation, there will be clear backing from most countries for orderly and free (presidential) elections on May 25, because this could be a small step towards stabilising the country," he told Reuters.

Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that it is empowering enterprises to accelerate the performance of applications tied to large data sets, allowing enterprises to better adapt to the changing nature of business with the latest version of its in-memory data grid solution, Red Hat JBoss Data Grid 6.2.
Many IT environments were designed before big data challenges become common. Today, managing massive data volumes and providing fast data access, high availability and elastic scalability in applications are considered to be essential for competitive modern applications. One of the major factors contributing to poor application performance lies in the inability of the traditional relational database to access, process, analyze and integrate data fast enough to meet business needs and customer expectations.
JBoss Data Grid helps overcome these challenges without requiring enterprises to invest in new data infrastructure by providing a complementary layer to the database. Data stored on this layer can be prioritized by type, access frequency, or other characteristics. With a data grid, businesses can process data faster and with lower latencies, removing the burden on traditional databases to provide scalable performance and meet uptime service level agreements (SLAs).
New features in version 6.2 include:
- Queries – Queries are a powerful feature that enable users to easily search and find objects in the data grid based on properties or metadata without needing to know the assigned key for each object.
- High throughput file-based cache stores – With two new file-based cache stores (SingleFileCacheStore and LevelDB-JNI), JBoss Data Grid offers greater speeds and scalability for high-write throughput and large data sets.
- Data interoperability – Data interoperability enables an application to read data from the grid, without needing knowledge of how, or by which method, the data was written to the grid. This interoperability applies across protocols, different languages under the same protocol, and deployment modes.
- New Hot Rod clients and security – C++ applications can now access the data grid via a C++ Hot Rod client. Additionally, new security features include user authentication and encrypted communications over Hot Rod.
- Rolling upgrades for REST – Rolling upgrades over the REST protocol enable customers to better service their users, simplify operations and reduce the cost of management when migrating from one version of JBoss Data Grid to the next.
Red Hat JBoss Data Grid 6.2 is available for download now.

Mike Piech, senior director, product marketing, Red Hat JBoss Middleware
"Enterprise computing moves at a rapid pace, and as new trends and breakthroughs occur, the landscape shifts to accommodate them. Big data is a great example of this. We see value in modern middleware like JBoss Data Grid because it is able to help extend existing investments to overcome limitations on traditional technologies, fill gaps in functionality, and improve performance."
Marcia Kaufman, principal analyst and chief operating officer, Hurwitz & Associates
"One of the major factors contributing to poor application performance is the inability to access, process, analyze, and integrate data at fast enough speeds to meet customer and user expectations. By breaking the model of the traditional scale up architectures that requires organizations to compensate with heavy technology investments, data grid offerings like JBoss Data Grid give organizations the flexibility to adapt to the changing nature of business in a powerful and cost-efficient way."

By ERIN ALLEN
"The Milky Way is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters," observed Galileo Galilei after turning his telescope on our galaxy early in the 17th century. He found this band of white light across the night sky consisted of many stars, each of them too distant to be seen by the naked eye.
His book, "Siderius Nuncius" (1610) or "The Starry Messenger," was the first scientific treatise based on observations through a telescope. Not only did he record his study of the Milky Way, but he also reported on his examination of the moon and his sighting of four objects orbiting around Jupiter.
As a repository for such monumental research, the Library of Congress can now boast its acquisition of the first edition of this seminal work. Newly acquired by the Rare Book and Special Collections Division, the stellar treasure was on display with some 75 new additions to the division's collections during an open house on Oct. 22.
"This is the largest copy that exists," said Dan De Simone of the celestial study. The significance, he said, is that Galileo's renderings in this edition are intact. Other copies, for example those held by Harvard University, are incomplete because the Italian astronomer's illustrations were trimmed away in the process of rebinding the books.
"The binding from our edition is probably from the time the book was printed, so that's why it is preserved," added De Simone.
Walking among the items on display during the division open house in the Rosenwald Room was to journey through times of theological revolution, political evolution, childhood whimsy and national tragedy. Each table displayed a cross-sampling of gifts as well as items purchased by the division during the past two years.
In keeping with the Library's mission to document all aspects of the events on Sept. 11, 2001, the division has built a collection of books by noted artists who confront and lay bare their feelings in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. Examples were on display.
"'Falling to Earth' by Michael Kuch is probably the darkest book," said Mark Dimunation, chief of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division. "His studio looked out on the World Trade Center. His poetry and drawings reflect the images of people flying and reference the imagery of Jacob's Ladder, Icarus, a parachuting Christ. It's extremely moving."
Another item, titled "Combat Paper," began as a writing project for members of the Iraq Veterans Against the War to express themselves in ways other than public action. The project morphed into the Warrior Writers Project and its first chapbook, "Warrior Writers: Move, Shoot and Communicate."
"The artwork accompanying their writing was produced on paper made from the cut-up uniforms of servicemen and women," said Dimunation. "It was definitely a protest mechanism."
Next to these art books that begged consideration for their in-your-face visuals was a colorful arrangement of red, green and blue cloth bindings embossed with gold and silver leaf. Margaret Neilson Armstrong, a preeminent designer of decorated cloth publishers' bindings from 1890 to 1913, created the bindings for this collection of American classics: 274 works by the Brownings, Washington Irving, Henry Thoreau, John Greenleaf Whittier and others, which the Library purchased in 2008.
"This is a spectacular collection in pristine condition," emphasized Dimunation.
Recent acquisitions also marked efforts of the division to complete some of its collections. According to Brian Taves, author of the Jules Verne Encyclopedia, "The Library of Congress holds the most comprehensive Verne Collection of any institution outside the writer's native land." The division rounded out this particular collection with various editions and states of Verne's publications, many of which are scarce or unusual in some degree. For example, an 1873 copy of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" is the first true American edition and is one of only two known copies in salmon-colored cloth.
With a single purchase last year, the Library completed its collection of the work of Vincent Fitzgerald and Company, known for its fine printing of works by James Joyce, Franz Kafka and Jalaluddin Mohammad Rumi.
"What we have here are pieces of culture and human experience," concluded Dimunation. "They range from telling the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times all the way up to single books that fundamentally changed the world."
Erin Allen is a writer-editor in the Library's Public Affairs Office.
