PCR and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) are widely used technologies for many applications. The faster the results can be obtained, the more quickly research can move forward. By optimizing the cycling conditions, significant time can be saved. The ramp rates and heat dispersion of different instruments will affect how much cycle optimization a researcher can perform. This application note demonstrates examples of the optimization process.

Among the new products is the industry's first scanner to feature an automatic photo feeder, which allows consumers to quickly and easily digitize traditional photos by scanning a stack of 4 x 6-inch or 3 x 5-inch photos.
Bringing electronic organization to shoeboxes full of photos, the HP Scanjet 5500c scanner allows users to scan a stack of up to 24 photos, the same number of photos in a typical roll of film, by simply placing them in the feeder and pressing a single button. Users also can view scanned images in about seven seconds(1) -- no warm-up time required.
Three other products join HP's line of digital imaging products, including the HP Scanjet 4570c scanner; the HP Photosmart 230 photo printer -- featuring a convenient LCD screen for previewing and editing photos prior to printing; and the HP Photosmart 850 digital camera with manual controls and HP Instant Share technology.
"In June of this year, HP unveiled its $1.2 billion investment to reset the printing and imaging market. Today's announcement illustrates the ongoing results of that investment and sets the stage for products that are yet to come," said Lori Abbott, category business manager, digital imaging, Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Ltd.. "With innovations like the automatic photo feeder on our scanner, an LCD screen on our compact photo printer and innovative manual controls on our digital cameras, HP is offering simple and convenient features that make it easy to capture, share and print."
"We have found that 89 per cent of scanner owners scan photos and 47 percent of Internet households print digital photos at home," said Kerry Flatley, research analyst, InfoTrends Research Group. "HP's solutions are designed to help simplify the scanning and photo printing process at a time when digital imaging is playing a more significant role in consumers' lives."
HP Scanjet 5500c and 4570c Scanners
The HP Scanjet 5500c and 4570c scanners have seven, one-touch buttons for convenient access to features such as a share-to-Web option, HP Memories Disc Creator software for creating photo CDs to be viewed on a PC or DVD player, copy centre functions and e-mailing. Consumers can get professional-quality scans with up to 2,400 dots-per-inch (dpi) and 48-bit colour for printing, e-mailing and posting on the Web.
To convert from traditional film to digital format and for easy archiving, a lighted adapter is included with each scanner, which allows consumers to scan 35 mm negatives and slides. The automatic photo feeder is included with the HP Scanjet 5500c scanner and is optional for the HP Scanjet 4570c scanner.
HP Photosmart 230 Photo Printer
The compact HP Photosmart 230 photo printer produces borderless, 4 x 6-inch prints. The printer provides professional-looking output with crisp detail and vibrant colours on HP premium photo papers, featuring up to 4,800-optimized dpi.(2)
In addition, the printer lets users preview and edit photos prior to printing with a 1.8-inch colour LCD screen. Users can print directly from the digital camera -- no computer is needed -- via the printer's memory card slots, which support Compact Flash, Memory Stick, MultiMedia, Secure Digital and SmartMedia.
The HP Photosmart 230 photo printer follows the recent introduction of the company's new line of photo printers, including the HP Photosmart 7550, 7350, 7150 and 130 models.
HP Photosmart 850 Digital Camera
The HP Photosmart 850 digital camera offers customers the choice between using automatic or manual controls for freedom to select camera settings for ISO, exposure, white balance and aperture. The digital camera produces outstanding close-ups and brilliant photos, featuring 4.1-megapixel total resolution and 56x total zoom (8x optical, 7x digital). The electronic viewfinder enables consumers to enhance the framing of photos through the lens viewing.
The digital camera also features HP Instant Share technology, which allows users to snap a photo and then select on the camera where the photo will go the next time the camera is connected to a computer or optional HP Photosmart 8881 digital camera dock.
All of the new products introduced today include HP photo and imaging software, which allows users to conveniently and easily edit, create and print photos, including photo album pages.
Price and Availability
The HP Scanjet 5500c scanner, HP Scanjet 4570c scanner, HP Photosmart 230 photo printer and HP Photosmart 850 digital camera are expected to begin shipping in early October. All products will be available at authorized HP retailers nationwide.
Estimated Canadian retail prices(3) are as follows:
HP Scanjet 5500c scanner (includes photo feeder) $479.99
HP Scanjet 4570c scanner $299.99
HP Scanjet automatic photo feeder $229.99
(optional for HP Scanjet 4570c)
HP Photosmart 230 photo printer $379.99
HP Photosmart 850 digital camera $799.99
HP Photosmart 8881 digital camera dock $129.99

I have a C++ console app that uses wininet.h to go out to a URL, and download the contents of a web page.
The contents are usually just a single IP address. It goes here: http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp
Everything works great.
Then I decided to create my own IP checker in PHP, using the following code:
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
header("Cache-Control: private");
header("Content-Type: text/html");
echo $ip;
This looks correct in the browser, identical whatismyip.com's results, but the C++ program just adds bunch of junk after the IP, then repeats the IP half cut off, and then adds more junk.
What is causing this? I tried analyzing the headers, but I can't spot the difference.
Also, I tried putting a plain txt file on to the server, and the C++ program reads it perfect.
I also tried changing my headers to both plain/text and text/plain. Same result.
Thank you for your help!
Edit: Here's a portion of the C++ code:
HINTERNET OpenAddress = InternetOpenUrl(connect,"http://www...", NULL, 0, INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE|INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION, 0);
char DataReceived[16] = " ";
DWORD NumberOfBytesRead = 0;
while (InternetReadFile(OpenAddress, DataReceived, 16, &NumberOfBytesRead) && NumberOfBytesRead)

Over the past few years, the field of Business Architecture (BA) has been evolving rapidly. It used to be the exception that an EA program had business architects, but now it is the rule. A consensus is emerging about what BA is, what it produces, who practices it, and how. Professional organizations such as the Business Architecture Guild are creating communities of architects and developing best practices. Now, BA is delivering results that are impacting the business and getting attention for doing so. And finally, the critical mass of successful results, best practices, skilled professionals, resources, tools, has reached the point where Business Architecture is a mainstream capability within most advanced organizations. What is the Read more
Business Architecture Becomes Mainstream
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
Last year, my colleagues and I predicted various changes: an increase in this, a let-up in that. I finally understand why I have been struggling to come up with my 2012 prediction: I am just not seeing any changes. Let me elaborate on this for my specialty — Agile/Lean software development. I predict that many organizations worldwide will continue to adopt Agile. Most of them will do so with no expert guidance, with ho-hum results, and with little understanding of why they got those results. People will continue to get their Agile skills certified while others rail against the value and implication of those certificates. Companies will still rely on head hunters to hire Agile Read more
Catastrophic Failure on the Horizon
Hype Drives the Cloud into the Trough of Disillusionment
Sometimes my favorite thing about the cloud is that it is garnishing all of the media hype these days, in place of SOA. Finally, I can stop trying to meet overblown expectations about when SOA will deliver benefits, and get down to the business of implementing valuable SOA solutions. Don't worry, the cloud will get to this point too, but it has a few years of growing pains to go through. This year, it will pass through the inevitable "Trough of Disillusionment" part of its lifecycle. Now don't get me wrong. There's plenty to like about the cloud, and over time it will become a standard part of enterprise platforms, but for now it has Read more
The Enterprise Begins to Dance
In 2011, and with increasing speed in 2012, Enterprises are embracing the whole-system view of themselves. This means they will take an increasingly strategic view of improvement, coordinating change across divisions and functions to achieve a higher overall level of performance. This trend is reversing the short-term, every-division-for-itself fractionalization that many organizations adopted during the financial pressure years 2008 – 2010. In the coming year we will see more of the team mindset (with some "taking one for the team" while others seemingly gain) than the "spread the pain" approach. The most successful organizations will compensate those groups which bear the greater pain so the whole can prosper. The systems-wholistic trend will continue even if Read more
It's About Customer Service
Year of the App Redux It's another "year of the app" for 2012 as more and more clients will expect any of the goods and services we offer to be available on their iPhones and Droids. A failure to include those elements in the tool set will invariably lead to charges that the provider lacks "true" customer service. More Face Time in 2012 While technology will play a greater role, it's also evident that there will be a greater level of "touch" required for some clients who will see the advent of e-options as the surrender of personal contact. They will push back and demand true face time as well as on-site commitments. Coupled with Read more
Is Leadership a Science?
CIOs and their management teams are facing a leadership crises – with the emphasis on MORE – be more productive, more efficient, more creative, more collaborative, more customer focused and more business savvy. How can leaders inspire their teams to produce technical innovation in a timely, efficient manner? What approaches – or maybe even a science – can help leaders meet these increasing demands? The March 2012 Cutter IT Journal, with Guest Editor Lynne Ellyn, will address these questions. Please send us your ideas – proposals of interest are due 28 December 2011. To respond, please visit http://www.cutter.com/content-and-analysis/journals-and-reports/cutter-it-journal/callforpapers02.html
The Rise of the Professional Contract Manager
Now that approximately half the IT shop is outsourced (on average) either on, near, or offshore, the transaction itself is hardly novel. What remains difficult, however, is getting the results one wanted when the deal was set up. Both academia and the commercial world have started to recognize the importance of the individuals that get those results, not just those who put the deals together. With regard to sourcing, I see 2012 as the year of the contract manager. More universities will offer contract management as a degree (not just a module), yet it will take some time for the students to enter the marketplace. The professional contract management associations will have a boom in Read more
William Ulrich Added to Summit Agenda
This past summer, William Ulrich led a Q&A for Cutter clients on Business Capability Mapping. It was so popular he did it twice! So what's next? He's going to build on the topic at Summit 2012: Executive Education+, April 2-4. In the interactive work session, you'll get to try your hand at identifying capabilities, completing a value stream and designing actionable solutions through the lens of business architecture. Practicing these skills with Bill's guidance at the Summit will clarify why and how your organization can leverage business architecture to streamline mergers, shift to customer centric business models, deploy horizontal business solutions and pursue a growing range of transformational opportunities.
A Healthy Skepticism of "Named" Approaches
I see the demand for actual performance results over declarative symbolic victories (e.g., certifications) taking a significant bend upwards. I've already begun to see the more forward-thinking companies maturing in their thinking about how they use "named" business, technology, and management concepts, e.g., Scrum, Lean, Kanban, CMMI, ISO 9000, ITIL, COBIT, Devops, etc. There's growing skepticism in the efficacy of popularized approaches. Executives are less likely to rush into using new ideas just because they've heard "the name". Whether they're skeptical for the right reasons or not, their cautious approach offers a better have a chance of implementing these "named" initiatives effectively, keeping them off their list of failures – a list that contributes to Read more

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/21/12 -- NORTHERN GOLD MINING INC. (TSX VENTURE:NGM) ("Northern Gold" or the "Company") and Champagne Resources Ltd. ("Champagne") have entered into a letter of intent (the "Letter Agreement"), pursuant to which Champagne has granted the Company the right to acquire all of its right, title and interest in certain mining claims located in each of the Guibord, Michaud and Holloway Townships, Ontario (the "Champagne Property").
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement the Company can acquire the Champagne Property (the "Transaction") in exchange for:
-- CDN$250,000 payable on or before closing the Transaction; -- the transfer of all of Northern Gold's right, title, and interest in and to certain staked mining claims located in Bernhardt, Lebel and Morrisette Townships, Ontario (the "Kirana Property") to Champagne; and -- a one percent (1%) net smelter return royalty (the "NSR") from production on the Champagne Property, to be granted to Champagne. Northern Gold shall have the right and option to purchase one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the NSR for the amount of $1,000,000.
The Champagne Property consists of 21 mineral claims. The 7 claims located in Michaud Township are contiguous to mineral claims currently held by Northern Gold. The 10 claims in Holloway Township lie due south of St. Andrew Goldfields' Holt Mine and the remaining 4 claims in Guibord Township are contiguous to Lake Shore Gold's Fenn-Gib project. Subsequent to completion of the Transaction, Northern Gold will hold mineral properties covering approximately 17,000 hectares of land in the area.
"The acquisition of the Champagne Property will add to our expanding regional land package and compliments the Company's overall initiative" said Greg Gibson, President and CEO of Northern Gold. "We continue to remain focused on property acquisitions in the Timmins Gold Camp as well as advanced exploration efforts on our existing properties."
The transaction is subject to receipt of all approvals required by the parties, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
About Northern Gold

The Company's main focus is the exploration and development of its prospective mineral properties in the Timmins Gold Camp in northeastern Ontario. Led by an experienced management team, Northern Gold has a portfolio of advanced exploration projects, including the Jonpol and Garrcon Deposits and the newly acquired Buffonta Property. The recent acquisition of the Harker-Holloway Gold Property and proposed amalgamation with Victory Gold Mines Inc. add to the Company's regional consolidation strategy along the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone.

The Union Street Bridge over the Merrimack River in Lawrence, known as the Duck Bridge, reopened to traffic today.
The $16 million MassDOT project reconstructed existing bridge piers and abutments, repaired bridge truss members, and constructed a new concrete and steel bridge deck.
The new bridge provides two travel lanes, with sidewalks on both sides of the bridge.
The bridge was closed to traffic in July 2010 with detours in place.
The federally funded project was constructed by S&R Corporation from Lowell and completed four months ahead of schedule.
MassDOT appreciates the patience shown by drivers and abutters affected by the closure and the associated traffic detour during construction.

Returning Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair
Overeem hasn't exactly been welcomed back to the U.S. with open
arms amidst accusations that he's taken performance-enhancing drugs
to enhance his noticeably thicker frame.
Overeem faces challenger Brett
Rogers at Strikeforce "Heavy Artillery" this Saturday at the
Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo., 30 months removed from his
September 2007 title win over Paul
Buentello in San Jose, Calif.
The 6-foot-4 Dutch striker made strides as a light heavyweight
entry in Japan's Pride Championships for five years before deciding
to resume his career at heavyweight. Overeem came in at 224 pounds
against Buentello in 2007; by 2009, he is said to have weighed more
than 260 pounds, leading fans worldwide to dub him "Ubereem."
Overeem's two-year spell abroad, where drug testing is often not
overseen by regulatory agencies and widely overlooked by
promotions, fueled talk that the Golden Glory fighter was avoiding
his obligations in the States, where he knew he would be
Rogers, who's campaigned with Strikeforce for the opportunity to
fight the champion for over a year, has voiced his concerns about
Overeem's larger physique, often referring to the Dutch fighter's
regimen as his "Eastern diet."
"I'm a big guy myself, but I know I'm not going to blow up that
much in that short amount of time," said Rogers. "It's questionable
to me. Hopefully, the athletic director and the commission can
resolve that."
Tim Lueckenoff, commissioner for the Missouri Office of Athletics,
said the regulatory body will test for "all illegal and
unprescribed drugs." Lueckenoff refrained from discussing the drug
testing timetable (pre-, post-fight or both) or what type of
testing will be done per the agency's testing protocol. The state
athletic agencies that do test normally utilize urinalysis
sampling, which can detect the presence of steroids and other drugs
of abuse, but doesn't account for the synthesized Human Growth
Hormone (HGH).
However, recent media attention surrounding boxer Floyd Mayweather
Jr.'s insistence that Manny Pacquiao conform to more sensitive
blood testing procedures before greenlighting their
much-anticipated mega-fight has shone the light on testing protocol
in all combat sports. The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board
is the only U.S.-based commission to employ random blood testing
for MMA and boxing, which it began in June 2007. However, other
agencies are now exploring the testing as well. The Nevada State
Athletic Commission has said it is considering it for both combat
sports, possibly this year.
Overeem and Rogers said they'd comply with whatever type of testing
is instituted surrounding Saturday's bout. Surprisingly, the
Holland-based fighter said he hasn't been bothered by Rogers' and
others insinuations, adding that his negative test will absolve
"People can say what they want. People can say what they think. I'm
going to have to pee just like Brett is going to have to pee just
like all the other (fighters) are going to have to pee. Then that
pee will be tested," said Overeem.
Overeem, who turns 30 on Monday, said his decision to move up a
division marked a rational progression in his fight career.
"I've always been a natural heavyweight," he said. "I was always
running around at 100 kilos (220 pounds)."
With his Pride debut in Japan, Overeem said he had to decide
whether to keep the weight and possibly tangle with more than a few
opponents who were heavier than him, or cut down to the light
heavyweight ranks. Overeem chose the latter.
"In the beginning that worked really well. It didn't cost me any
power," said Overeem, "but as you grow older, you go a little bit
stronger, more heavy and I had problems cutting the weight."
Following losses to Mauricio
"Shogun" Rua and Sergei
Kharitonov in 2007, Overeem decided he'd rather shed the diet
than the pounds.
"I'd fought everybody at light heavyweight in Pride at the time, so
for me it was a very logical decision to go to heavyweight (with) a
whole bunch if new opponents."
Overeem said his speed and conditioning hasn't suffered with his
gain in size.
"In my opinion, heavyweights are less technical, less fast, less
conditioning then light heavyweight, so I was thinking if I could
keep the speed, keep the technique, keep the conditioning from
light heavyweight to heavyweight, than I'd be a dangerous fighter,"
he said.
And though his Strikeforce homecoming hasn't been embraced by all,
Overeem said his focus is completely placed where it should be, on
his opponent Rogers.
"I know (the test's) going to be negative," he said. "Then all the
people that are still talking will shut up."
This article was updated at 2:35 p.m. EST to reflect that the
NJSACB is the only U.S.-Based regulatory body to conduct random
blood testing for both MMA and boxing.

Rutgers Retires Fred Hill's Jersey
The entire Hill clan traveled from Verona down to Piscataway on Saturday for a special ceremony to mark the retirement of Fred Hill Sr., who has been Rutgers University's baseball coach since 1984.
Back then, Hill took a pay cut to move from the Montclair State Red Hawks to the Scarlet Knights, a memory that was recalled to the amusement of his wife Evelyn Hill on Saturday. He went on to compile a 941-658-7 record in his 30 years at Rutgers, including 11 NCAA Regional appearances, 12 regular season conference championships and eight conference tournament titles. Small wonder then that Rutgers chose to retire his No. 24 jersey at the Bainton Field ceremony, only the second jersey retirement in the school's history.
Montclair State, where Hill had a 148-91-2 record in seven seasons, retired his No. 24 jersey in February 2010. Add in his years at MSU with those at Rutgers and Hill had a total of 1,089 victories at the college level. He has sent 72 players to professional baseball, including Todd Frazier of the Cincinnati Reds and David DeJesus of the Tampa Bay Rays.
Hill formally announced his retirement this past February. After speeches by Rutgers' new head coach, Joe Litterio, and its director of operations, Glen Gardner,–both of whom had been coached by Hill when they were Rutgers students–Hill's No. 24 was officially retired on the right field wall.
The speeches gave particular recognition to Mrs. Hill, Verona's former town clerk, for her 30 years of support for the team behind the scenes. The ceremony was also attended by Hill's sons Fred Jr. and Jim, and daughters Nancy Apisa, Linda Boyd, Tracey Hill and Karen Jandoli, and the nine Hill grandchildren, who all posed with the Scarlet Knights' mascot.
Rutgers' RVision TV captured the ceremony; you can watch it here:

By undue insistence on the payment of standard rates of wages. They suffer because of the loss of wages. incalculable losses occur to producers. and prevents them from taking long-term views. Thus. they have only leveled down the earnings of the efficient workers. They create artificial scarcity of labour by demanding that only union personnel should be employed. anything. These are harmful to the workers also. Trade unions may not welcome rationalisation and improved methods of production for the fear that some of the workers will be put out of work.Criticism of Trade Unions Lack of education makes the workers narrow-minded. This attitude is responsible for many strikes and lock-outs in industrial concerns. becomes unattractive to them. which does not result in an immediate reward.

These national federations may have their own regional or state level coordinating bodies to which the plant level unions may get affiliated. Please note that only seven members are required to form a union. These are the apex bodies at the top of the structure. These local level federations might be affiliated to either some regional level or national level federation or these may be independent. This comprises the unions in one organisation or factory.

The number of trade unions in India has increased considerably. file suits. But this has been followed by the declining membership per union. small sections of workers are encouraged to form separate Unions. go to conciliation and even bargain with employers. This Act confers rights on such a union. Outside Leadership. trade union activities are concentrated in a few states and in bigger industrial centers mainly due to concentration of industries in those places. The law permits and gives sanctity to small unions. The trade unionism in India is characterised by uneven growth. Multiplicity of Unions. Besides. The multiplicity of unions is the result of outside leadership and labour laws. These outsiders are politicians. There exist several trade unions in the same establishment. . Outsiders continue to dominate the trade unions to advance their personal interests. Limited Membership. There is no restriction on the number of unions to be registered in one establishment. intellectuals and professionals having no experience of work in industry. It is allowed under the Act to raise disputes.Problems & weaknesses of Trade Unions Uneven Growth. both industry-wise and area-wise. Any seven persons can form a union under the Trade Unions Act. Trade unions in India are led largely by people who themselves are not workers.
The attendance at the general meetings of the unions is very low. Moreover. As a result. Another reason for the weak financial position of union is that large amounts of subscription dues remain unpaid by the workers. The financial position of the trade unions is weak because their average yearly income is very low and inadequate. Besides this. unions do not have proper staff and organisation to collect subscriptions. the funds with the unions are inadequate and they cannot undertake welfare programmes for their members. Under conditions of multiplicity of unions. all the members of the trade unions do not show interest in their affairs. . In India. trade unionism cannot be expected to make much progress. a large number of workers have not joined any union. Under such circumstance. The subscription rates are very low. Indifferent Attitude of Workers.Problems & weaknesses of Trade Unions Financial Problems. a union interested in increasing its membership figures keeps the subscription rate unduly low.
there should be only one union in one industry. the employers refused recognition to the trade unions either on the basis that unions consisted of only a minority of employees or two or more unions existed. The same applies to the officials of the unions. . Leadership should be developed from within the rank and file of the workers. the trade unions avail the services of the honorary workers due to lack of funds. and not by outsiders. Recognition of Trade Unions. Till recently.Suggestions for the development Unions One Union in One Industry: Multiplicity of unions in the same plant leads to interunion rivalry that ultimately cuts at the root of the trade union movement. Therefore. Of course the motivational levels will come down unless and until you are a very passionate or a committed person. The practice should be stopped because honorary office bearers cannot do full justice to the task entrusted to them because of lack of time at their disposal. which requires a lot of responsibility. Development of Leadership from Within: It is of crucial importance that trade unions are managed by the workers. Therefore. paid union officials should be employed who are persons of proven integrity and who are able to evaluate the demands of workers so that they may negotiate with employers on equal footing. It weakens the power for collective bargaining and reduces the effectiveness of workers in securing their legitimate rights. Suppose that you are asked to do something in the office. You are not offered any thing in return. Paid Union Officials: Generally.

JVC Projection TV Problems
JVC Projection TV Problems
Projection TV
uses Digital Image Scaling Technology that offers it viewers an excellent quality of picture with high definition resolution and crisp display. The JVC projection TV also provides a surround sound effect with a variety of audio/video inputs. Once in awhile, just as with any electronic it is common to face a few problems with the TC. Few of the common problems faced by these TV viewers are power and lamp issues, snowing and ghosting, locked channels and so on. Below are frequent asked questions on issues relating to JVC Projection TV sets that have been answered by the Experts.
What could cause multi blended colors and double characters on the picture of a JVC Projection TV screen?
In some cases, it looks like the convergence circuit inside the TV could have failed along with other circuitry parts. Many times a person may opt to fix and repair the problem on their own by buying a kit to help solder the components on the circuit board. At times an Expert may be better suited to help aid in the repair.
What could cause a JVC Projection TV color wheel to spin and power light blinks but not to turn on ?
Usually, when a TV is turned on, the color wheel spins first, then the ballast starts to fire and finally the lamp lights up. However, in some cases, the lamp fails to light up, causing such symptoms to occur. Therefore, the only way to repair this unit is by replacing this faulty lamp. Usually, these lamps can be purchased and are easily replaced. For replacing the lamp, you could check your user manual wherein you would get the replacement instructions.
If a JVC Projection TV does not turn on and the green power light blinks when the TV starts and there is a loud buzzing sound coming from behind the TV, what could be the problem?
There could be many reasons that may cause this problem to arise. The most probable one could be a bad convergence circuit. Usually, these circuits line up all the colors on the TV screen. But, if there is a short in these circuits, then it is likely these circuits could cause the set to shut off. Alternately, there could be several other different possibilities that may cause such problems. Those could be a faulty horizontal circuit, a bad deflection board, a defective main board, fluid leak, a high voltage circuit and so on to name a few. Therefore, in order to figure out the exact cause of this problem, a troubleshooting Expert may be needed. If you have problems in watching your JVC Projection TV, all you need to do is contact a technician and have him repair the unit immediately. Even a little delay could make matters worse. If you need clarification about your specific situation with respect to issues related to JVC Projection TV sets, you may ask a TV Technician Expert to evaluate your case details and provide a technical insight.

(CNN) -- Twenty-five additional heavily armed U.S. Marines arrived at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad within the last several hours, a U.S. official tells CNN. The Marines were requested by the State Department, which is in charge of security. Concerns have risen since demonstrations occurred there last week in Baghdad's "Green Zone," where the embassy is located. More demonstrations had been expected Friday but the U.S. official said the area has remained peaceful so far. Neither the Pentagon or State Department disclosed the precise number of security forces already on site.
