OKC Thunder: Reggie Jackson expected to play in Game 5
With Serge Ibaka back from his strained calf, it was only a matter of time before another injury popped up in this trying Thunder season, which has felt like whack-a-mole from a health perspective. Recently appointed starting shooting guard Reggie Jackson went down with a sprained right ankle in the first quarter Tuesday night, asking out of the game and hobbling to the locker room.
He returned at the beginning of the second quarter and started the second half, jogging with a limp that seemed to limit him. But in the postgame locker room, he said he'd be good to go moving forward. And at practice Wednesday, coach Scott Brooks backed up that sentiment.
"I spoke with him," Brooks said. "He's feeling pretty good. He will get treatment throughout the day and then tomorrow, but he's feeling pretty good today."
Jackson is expected to start on Thursday.
With 7:30 left in the second quarter of Game 4, Spurs center Tiago Splitter went down in a heap, making it look like he was forcefully shoved by an Ibaka forearm. But upon replay, it became clear that Splitter severely exaggerated the contact. On Wednesday, the NBA agreed, fining Splitter $5,000 for violation the league's anti-flopping rules.
Russell Westbrook (41) and Kevin Durant (30) combined for 71 points in Game 4. That matches the third-highest combined total for the Thunder superstars in a playoff game.
Their highest-scoring collective playoff performance was Game 4 against Memphis in 2011, when they combined for 75 points in a triple-overtime victory. Next on the list was 72 points in Game 1 against Denver in 2011. Durant and Westbrook also combined for 71 points in Game 4 of the 2012 NBA Finals against Miami, when Westbrook exploded for 43 points.
"I don't know, to be honest," Durant said of whether Tuesday night was their best combined playoff game. "We've played so many games together. But we were just so focused on bringing that energy for our teammates. We're the leaders, we set the tone, and they follow us. Russell does a great job every single game of just playing with that fire and that force, and I just try to do the same things and have our teammates follow behind us. I don't know about the best game we've ever played. I think we have another level we can go to."
Kendrick Perkins had one of his best games of the playoffs, despite scoring just two points. Perkins and the Spurs' Tim Duncan were on the court for 19:30 of the game. In those 191/2 minutes, Duncan had five points and four rebounds, on 2-of-6 shooting. Duncan spent 5:05 on the court against Adams and went 2-of-2 with four points during that time, with two rebounds.
Perkins had 10 rebounds, two blocked shots and a nifty assist to Westbrook for a layup.
The Thunder clearly has neutralized Duncan — and did so even before Ibaka's return. In Game 2, Duncan had 12 rebounds but scored just 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting. In the last three games, Duncan has made just 15 of 37 shots and averaged 13 points.
Duncan was having a renaissance playoffs. He averaged 17.3 points a game and shot 58 percent from the field against Dallas. He averaged 15.8 points a game and shot 53 percent from the field against Portland. But the Thunder is taking Duncan out of his game.
"They hit some tough shots, but I thought we kept touching them," Perkins said. "We were challenging all their shots and keeping them out of the paint. Our shell was tight, and I thought we stuck with it. With San Antonio, you have to do it for 48 minutes."
In two games in San Antonio, the Spurs' Danny Green made 13 of 18 shots, including 11 of 15 on 3-pointers. He averaged 18.5 points a game. In two games in Oklahoma City, Green made four of 16 shots, including three of eight on 3-pointers. He averaged 5.5 points.
Is that home/road discrepancy typical for Green? In seven home games against Dallas and Portland, Green made 21 of 39 shots and averaged 8.3 points. In five road games against Dallas and Portland, Green made 15 of 33 shots and averaged 7.2 points. A little better at home. Green had three monster playoff games before the Thunder. Two at home (16 points on 5-of-7 shooting against Dallas, 22 points on 9-of-13 against Portland) and one on the road (17 points on 7-of-f-7 shooting at Dallas).
San Antonio in two games with Ibaka sidelined: 117 points a game, 53.8 percent shooting, 66.7 shooting in the paint, 27 fast-break points total.
San Antonio in two games with Ibaka in the rotation: 94.5 points a game, 39.7 percent shooting, 46.3 shooting in the paint, three fast-break points total.
"They're up in the passing lanes, they have starters and they have Serge in there, and their big guys back there who are protecting the rim, so they're gambling a little more," Duncan said. "They've turned that gambling into turnovers and took some fast-break points. I think they're more comfortable with Serge and the rest of those big guys back there."

What magical number is 23 + 13 = ?
You don't have to be a math whiz to know that 23+13 = 36. So what is so magical about the number 36? Thirty-six is the number of IBM/Tivoli User Groups who have qualified for a Premier Status within the Tivoli User Community program for the 2009/2010 year.
As the Global Tivoli User Community Program manager it's exciting to see that last year we had 23 user groups qualify but this year brought 13 more groups within the fold. These 36 user groups had membership growth rates of 25%+ or have sustained 200+ members along with hosting 2 or more constructive meetings per year. In addition, these groups have strong, stable and proactive customer leadership. It is very apparent that these groups are truly the backbone of the user community.
For achieving this status, each of these groups will receive "appreciation gifts" to give away at their meetings and a Tivoli Executive assigned to their user group to speak or attend a meeting. If you want to view the complete list of 36 Premier Tivoli User Groups. You should also check out the latest Global Tivoli User Communtiy Newsletter where the program was highlighted along with the Premier User Group of Central Ohio TSM.

What did you say?...Are Tivoli User Groups dead?...NO WAY!
In fact, with the 23,000+ members around the world and the 140+ local and virtual user groups around Automation, Storage, Security and Asset, the community is as live as it has ever been.
As the Global Tivoli User Community Manager, I wanted to share with you a few interesting facts:
FACT: 15+ User Groups formed in 2009
FACT: Most user groups try to have a physical meeting 1-2 times a year
FACT: 16 User Groups held a meeting in July and August, usually a very quite period for the Northern Hemisphere of the world.
FACT: 38+ user group meetings already scheduled for Sept - Dec. Much more to be scheduled!
FACT: 134 questions asked in July and August using the Q&A tool of the Peer to Peer Knowledge Exchange
FACT: 47 comments have been made by 19 people, using the "Be Heard" capability on www.tivoli-ug.org in July and August
So while the "slow" summer is almost over and fall is fast approaching, user group leaders are feverishly working on setting up local user group meetings and virtual meetings via conference calls before the end of the year and the upcoming Pulse Conference in Las Vegas.
Get connected today and join the Global Tivoli User Community and a user group.
If you have an upcoming user group meeting or would like to share some success stories you've experienced with the user groups, please respond to this blog and let us know!

"Imbassaí" Top 5 Page for this destination Estado da Bahia by mircaskirca
Estado da Bahia Travel Guide: 1,043 reviews and 2,594 photos
Imbassai is a quiet pretty village with a population of around 1.000 people, located in Linha Verde's (Green Line) - Area of Environmental Protection, 65 km north of Salvador. Sand dunes and the Imbassaí river, which runs parallel to the beach, separate the village from the beach. Imbassaí means 'path of the river' in the language of the Tupi Indians. It is in Imbassaí that the river finds its way to the ocean.
On the sandbar, where the river meets the ocean, you find a couple of small palm-roofed beach bars selling cold drinks and fried fish, and choose between a bath in either the ocean or the river. In addition to endless of tropical beaches of Imbassaí and the natural beauty of the region, there are plenty of possibilities for sport activities, such as surfing, diving, kayaking, horse riding and fishing.
If you are looking for a peaceful holiday destination in a beautiful natural setting, you'll find a paradise here :)

Izgleda, da je posebno dozivetje zajtrk z majhnimi primati, a celotne lepote idilicnih krajev ne gre prezreti. V resnici je lahko srecen clovek, ki jih nekega dne obisce in se tam prepoji z vzdusjem. Narava okrog in okrog.
Mira, that's a great story about your pousada experience. With winter coming on, Estado da Bahia is looking extremely tempting to me!! Loved your tips on this tropical destination, it sounds so inviting.
This indeed looks like paradise on earth-complete with beaches,turtle eggs, friendly hosts and great food.The beaches are simply beautiful, and deserted, the way I prefer it.I would love to visit this place!Thanks, Mira Had another visit here- stunning.
one more place to consider on my way north from Salvador. Well done Mira!
You stayed at a very nice place here! They are friendly people living in such a nice place - I would love to see the Imbassaí river -- and deserted beaches are always a plus! Marmoset's cute! Norman :)
Thanks Mira for transporting me to some tropical beaches :) I suppose we are in agreement on the wonders of just walking a loney beach!
Great that you still keep in touch with the owners of that pousada, and even sent them the only Portuguese translation of a book of Slovenian authors. By the way, I was the first one to look at your beautiful new sunset and flower travelogues.
The morning walk along the beach for 10 km sounds lovely and the sunset is beautiful!

The Many Faces of Psychoontology
- Konrad WernerAffiliated withJagiellonian University, Institute of Philosophy Email author
Psychoontology is a philosophical theory of the cognizing subject and various related matters. In this article. I present two approaches to the discipline—the first proposed by Jerzy Perzanowski, the second by Jesse Prinz and Yoram Hazony. I then undertake to bring these into unity using certain ideas from Husserl and Frege. Applying the functor qua, psychoontology can be described as a discipline concerned with: (a) the cognizing subject qua being—this leads to the question: what kind of being is the subject (is it an object?, simple or complex?, a process?) and what makes him/her/it possible; (b) being qua cognized, this leads to the question: under what conditions can we access the world? Since the notion of being qua cognized might seem peculiar, I present its context and discuss it in detail in the last section.

College Hockey:Merrimack's Season a Significant Step for Program
BOSTON — After Sunday's 3-0 loss to Boston University in the deciding game of the best-of-three Hockey East quarterfinals series, Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy wasn't shy when talking about the expectations for his Warriors this season.
"I don't know that anybody believed in this team except this team," said Dennehy. "Any advancement we made as a program is because of them.
"I've got a room full of disappointed players."
Truth is, few did give Merrimack a chance to do anything this season, even after it proved itself a force with a stellar 12-3-1 home record. Pundits picked BU in a sweep. Even once the Warriors controlled most of the series — Merrimack was tied or in the lead for all but the final 15:49 of Friday series opener — not many in BU's Agganis Arena on Sunday wanted to believe.
Right or wrong, it's difficult to say that it was Merrimack's play that caused people to think this team still isn't ready for prime time. For on Sunday, it was really the performance of the Terriers and goaltender Kieran Millan, who posted a 34-save shutout, that won the game.
That, though, was likely a hard message to deliver to the Warriors. Merrimack fought right down to the very end and its frustration was never more apparent than when Stephane Da Costa (seemingly a lock for rookie of the year) was tagged with a major and game misconduct with 1:14 remaining when the outcome was in the bag.
"It's too early [to put things into perspective]," said Dennehy. "This team believed it was good enough to get to the Garden."
But baby steps in growth and development can also be critical. This season, in all truth, has to be considered more than just a small step forward. Merrimack returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2004, posted the most wins since 1993-94, and built a loyal fan base that was apparent among the 3,433 in attendance at Agganis Arena on Sunday.
"This program was in trouble a couple of years ago," said Dennehy. "It took a special group of kids to bring it back to relevance, starting with the senior class.
"We feel like we're on some stable ground right now and if [BU] is a team under consideration for the NCAA [tournament], we've made up a lot of ground."

Woman wanted in slaying of retired Oklahoma City doctor with history of police run-ins
A woman suspected in the slaying of a retired doctor with a history of run-ins with the police planned to meet with him before he was attacked, court records show.
Deepak Bhasin, 58, was found dead in his home at 15800 San Nicholas Dr. about 7:30 p.m. Dec. 11 after police responded to a 911 call made by the victim. Bhasin had injuries consistent with homicide, police reported.
An arrest warrant was issued Monday for Jamie Lea Walker, 19, on a first-degree murder complaint.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Walker sent Bhasin text messages indicating that she and another person were meeting Bhasin within an hour of his death.
Cellphone records show Walker was in the area at the time Bhasin was killed, and the texts were the last phone contact Bhasin had, police reported.
Bhasin was arrested five times on misdemeanor complaints between 1996 and June 2012, records show.

Complications in the fracture are said to have necessitated the surgery. While all his producers have wished Amit a quick recovery, the seriousness of the foot injury does put a question mark on at least three of his forthcoming projects.
While the next schedule of "Guddu Rangeela" awaits Amit's foot recovery, the actor's presence in two other projects could also get seriously jeopardized.
While Tigmanshu Dhulia's "Yaara", where Amit is slated to play the younger version of Tigmanshu's character is expected to take off in July, Kushan Nandy's political thriller starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Chitrangda Singh, in which Amit has a stellar role, may not happen in Amit's career at all.
Said Dhulia: "Since Amit and I play the same character in 'Yaara' during different stages of the film, we need to sit together and he needs to understand my body language.
"With his foot surgery, I don't know how we'll manage it. But Amit is my first and final choice for the role. He is really talented and suitable for the part."
However, Nandy's project seems hard to manage for the time-challenged foot-fractured actor.
Before going into surgery, Amit said: "I don't know if I'll be able to do Kushan's film. It's a terrific role for me and a great script. But at the moment my priority is to get back on my feet and complete 'Guddu Rangeela'."
Amit's surgery went well. He is expected to start walking from Monday.

Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew cleared to practice
Maybe more than any other player on the Jaguars squad, running back Maurice Jones-Drew has to be pumped for the start of training camp.
After all, he lost 10 games last season after suffering a Lisfranc injury in his foot, he was embroiled in a Memorial Day weekend controversy in which in which he allegedly struck a security guard at a Florida restaurant (he wasn't charged with a crime), and he took fire last week for joking about fantasy football (the one thing you don't joke about, for gosh sakes!).
But Jones-Drew got some great news Tuesday when the Jaguars announced he had been cleared for practice. The team said it "will bring him along slowly," but the fact he's going to get practice time is encouraging.
"Now it's back to football. It's a long time coming," Jones-Drew told reporters Tuesday while also saying the Memorial Day incident was "totally behind me."
At this point, it's unclear exactly how much workload Jones-Drew will be expected to handle when he's healthy in new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch's scheme. But considering the Jaguars were one of the worst rushing teams in the league last season -- and he's not far removed from his league-leading 1,606-yard effort in 2011 -- and still employ disappointing quarterback Blaine Gabbert, Jones-Drew most likely will continue to have a major role. As long as he can stay healthy.
"I can't wait to see what he can do, and I can't wait to see what he can do in our total offense," Fisch said earlier this month. "I keep asking Blaine and Chad [Henne], 'Tell me about Mojo. What's he like in the huddle? What's it like being out there and seeing him hit the hole?' They speak glowingly about him."
Either way, the team will make sure Jones-Drew is fresh in the preseason by not working him too hard.
"We have to make sure he can just not plant off his foot, but be tackled on his foot and be able to bounce right back up and be able to withstand a lot of carries," Fisch said. "When we start seeing those things, we'll have a better feel of what type of guy he can be. We're not going to overburden him until he feels he's 100 percent."
In other Jaguars news, the team announced cornerback Johnathan Cyprien, and receiver Justin Blackmon, guard Stephane Milhim and Taylor Price will start camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. According to the Jaguars, Cyprien, the team's second-round pick, strained his hamstring last week while working out in Miami. He's expected back next week.

Fridays at Noon at Hartman Park
The Hartman Park Band (HPB) is a group of retirees who come together once a week to socialize and play music. Always glad to, as they say, "Make a Little Noise" with their leader, Parks music instructor Sam Frazee; the group has played regularly for more than five years. Co-founded by Hartman Community Center manager Adrean Gregory, the HPB has practice on Fridays at noon. Rehearsals are open to new-comers and visitors. You can also see them performing around town for special parks events and concerts. The band focuses on popular music form the last 50 years, mainly Rock n Roll, but also blues, country and some jazz.HPB includes keys, guitars, drums, electric bass, and saxophones. They feature several outstanding vocalists. Some of the musicians have a lifetime of experience, playing in churches, clubs or with friends and family. However, some HPB members are beginners, having found a new passion in their golden years. The oldest member is in his 80's, with the youngest being in his 40's.
Instructor Sam Frazee says that his favorite part of working with the Hartman Park Band is listening to the musicians joke around and enjoy themselves. He feels that it's important for aging adults to continue to learn and try new things. "No one is born knowing how to play," says Frazee, "we all have to learn sometime; and it's never too late to start!"
Free family friendly concerts on Friday nights in June.

Project-Management Tools for Libraries: A Planning and Implementation Model Using Microsoft Project 2000
Zhang, Ying, Bishop, Corinne, Information Technology and Libraries
This paper discusses how Microsoft Project 2000 was utilized at the University of Central Florida Libraries to manage an e-reference implementation project. As libraries today adopt more information technologies, efficiently managing projects can be challenging. The authors' experience in the implementation of QuestionPoint e-reference software in October 2003 is described. Their conclusion illustrates that project-management tools, such as Microsoft Project 2000, offer practical workflow-management techniques for libraries. This article represents the first attempt to discuss the use of Microsoft Project 2000 to manage a library project.
The University of Central Florida (UCF) is a Research II metropolitan university with an enrollment of approximately forty-two thousand students. The university's main campus is located in Orlando, Florida, with twenty-one regional campuses located throughout the central Florida area. Providing equitable research assistance to distributed-learning students at all UCF campuses is one of the top priorities of the university and one of the greatest challenges that the libraries face.
To meet the increasing demand for research assistance from distributed-learning students, the main library expanded its existing e-reference service in January 2002 by adding an online chat component. During the period of January 2002 through January 2003, the number of online chats steadily increased, and by July 2003 a decision was made to evaluate new software applications that offered enhanced features. QuestionPoint was ultimately selected because it met the overall criteria, which included integrated features for chat and e-mail, statistical tracking, and access for multiple operators. QuestionPoint also offered the advantages of participation in national and regional consortia services with other academic libraries.
Why a Project-Management Tool?
To efficiently manage the implementation of QuestionPoint and enhance communication during the project, it was decided to use Microsoft Project 2000 (MSP 2000), a project-management software tool. There are several project-management software programs on the market, and the decision to use MSP 2000 was mainly based on convenience: members of the implementation team had previously used MSP 2000 and the UCF library owned a copy.
Project-management or workflow-management software programs are widely used in the computer industry and information-technology sectors. As libraries today adopt additional technologies to meet the demands for information access, project-management tools offer practical methods for efficiently managing projects. Generally, these tools enable project managers to define a project's scope and manage requirements for resources, time, and costs throughout a project's lifecycle. Schachter points out in a recent article in Information Outlook that librarians are frequently called upon to take on the role of project managers--"We don't often call ourselves project managers, but the fact that we do so much project management as part of our regular positions is increasingly being acknowledged and promoted as a core skill set of librarianship." (1)
The implementation of QuestionPoint e-reference at the UCF library was a relatively small project compared to typical technology projects. However, the objectives that typify the key functions of project management were applicable. They include the ability to assess the overall requirements for the project, track tasks, allocate resources, and share information with such stakeholders as the library administration, reference department head, and Ask-A-Librarian staff. The evaluation phase prior to the selection of QuestionPoint lasted for more than five months and involved several staff members. Tasks were assigned largely with an ad-hoc approach and communication relied primarily on e-mail messages since meetings were difficult to arrange. …

R5View In iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
R5 are a melodic pop/rock ensemble from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2009, the band features three brothers, guitarist/vocalist Rocky Lynch, guitarist/vocalist Ross Lynch, and bassist/vocalist Riker Lynch, along with their keyboardist/vocalist sister Rydel Lynch. Raised in Colorado, the siblings eventually relocated to Los Angeles, where they met drummer Ellington Ratliff, who rounded out the lineup. In 2010, R5 released their debut EP, Ready Set Rock. Since 2012, Ross has appeared as Austin Moon on the Disney TV show Austin & Ally. Similarly, Riker had a recurring role on Fox's Glee. This helped boost R5's profile, and in 2012 they signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records. In spring of 2013, R5 released their second EP, Loud, then followed it up soon after with their debut album, Louder. Their efforts saw them nominated for Best Band at the 2013 Disney Music Awards, and though they lost that honor, they did win the title of Next Big Thing at the Next Big Thing Awards. Ross made somewhat of a splash that year with his starring role in the very popular Teen Beach Movie, while also filming more Austin & Ally. R5 managed to keep their momentum and after completing a tour of Europe early in 2014, their third EP, Heart Made Up on You, was issued in July of that year. "Smile," the first single from their upcoming second album, was released later that year as well. Though they finished the album soon after, the bandmembers decided it wasn't quite what they wanted and convinced the label to let them record some additional songs. The revamped album featured more songs written by the band and showcased a more mature outlook and sound. Sometime Last Night was released in July of 2015 and entered the Billboard 200 at number one. ~ Matt Collar

The Driftless Area (Paperback)
The new novel from the award-winning author of The End of Vandalism is a wry and sophisticated heist drama. Set in the rugged region of the Midwest that gives the novel its title, The Driftless Area is the story of Pierre Hunter, a young bartender with unfailing optimism, a fondness for coin tricks, and an uncanny capacity for finding trouble. When he falls in love, with the mysterious and isolated Stella Rosmarin, Pierre becomes the central player in a revenge drama he must unravel and bring to its shocking conclusion. Along the way he will liberate $77,000 from a murderous thief, summon the resources that have eluded him all his life, and come to question the very meaning of chance and mortality. For nothing is as it seems in The Driftless Area. Identities shift, violent secrets lie in wait, the future can cause the past, and love becomes a mission that can take you beyond this world. In its tender, cool irony, The Driftless Area recalls the best of neonoir, and its cast of bona fide small-town eccentrics adrift in the American Midwest make for a clever and deeply pleasurable read from one of our most beloved authors.
About the Author
Tom Drury is the author of several novels, including "The End of Vandalism", "Hunts in Dreams", "The Driftless Area", and "The Black Brook"". "His fiction has appeared in the" New Yorker", " Harper's", and the" Mississippi Review", and he has been named one of "Granta"'s Best Young American Novelists.

Are the women getting the upper hand in the Shelby saga?
This excellent series has become as much Polly's story as Tommy's. The tormented matriarch heads to the confession booth as she comes close to admitting she murdered Inspector Campbell. Helen McCrory gives a moving performance as Polly and gets plenty of the best lines. 'Linda's stolen Arthur's soul and taken it to a better place… the suburbs,' she drily jokes to Tommy about his brother. When Tatiana pays Tommy a visit, things soon spiral out of control and his weaknesses are on display more than ever in this thrilling episode. Once again the devilish Priest is one step ahead of our troubled hero as the fateful date for the robbery draws nearer.

Roger Alejandro is an enterprising person. At present, he has his own establishment but previously sold his merchandise in the street. He works six days a week, from six in the morning until three in the afternoon. He is engaged in the business of selling meals and offers a variety of foods. In the morning, he sells "leche agria" (a fermented milk product), sandwiches, and coffee. In the afternoon, he sells delicious lunches such as fried chicken, roasted meat, enchiladas, soda, and natural soft drinks. He has two daughters, ages three and nine, who attend school. He works with his wife, who prepares the meals. Roger serves the customers and makes the daily purchases for his business. In the photo, he appears at his business with a dish of "gallo pinto" (rice and beans) with cheese, avocado, and fried bananas, a typical Nicaraguan dish. He is frying meat on the grill in the artisanal kitchen.
He has been a client of the institution since 2007. He used the earlier loans to invest in establishing a fixed location as he previously sold his merchandise in the street. He has qualified to receive loans based on his ability to pay. He is applying for a loan from our institution to invest in working capital. He will purchase rice, oil, sugar, meat, and soda in order to prepare a larger quantity of meals and offer more variety to his customers. Also, he wishes to repair the roof of his business because it rains heavily during the winter season, and customers don't come for fear of getting wet. He is grateful to Ceprodel and Kiva for placing their trust in him. Through means of the loans, he has expanded his business and made home improvements. This has allowed him to sustain his home and have better living conditions for himself and his family.

Ive been using CS5, well pretty much since it was released. I shortly after obtained a Canon t2i and right away made a little video. I neglected to transcode because I wanted to test the software, and it surpassed quite well.
Now that video was a straight cut, no grading, effects, plug in usage etc. I started to do some research and based on that came to the conclusion that I should still be interested in transcoding to get adequate color space for grading work. But tonight, I came across this on the hurlbutvisuals.com blog.
Yes, H.264 is definitely not considered a finishing codec, but to be clear, Premiere Pro does not use it in that way. The H.264 is read natively by Premiere and once it is decoded into the app. it "resides" internally in a 32 bit float extended color space that is unmatched for color fidelity and dynamic range. Your tests at Laser Pacific have proven that. There is no need to transcode to Pro Res, although if one prefers to work with that type of intermediate, the Adobe workflow can handle it just fine…ProRes is a great intermediate codec, but depending on the original content, some information might be lost compared to how Premiere Pro decodes the same file. For a full explanation, please refer the poster to my longer explanation below:
Adobe CS5 reads the H.264 files natively into Premiere Pro and After Effects at the highest possible quality. Our color gamut and dynamic range for tonal detail from shadow to highlight is unsurpassed. There is even support for over-brights beyond 100% in After Effects. i.e. in plain English, we squeeze more out of these files than anything else out there! Shane Hurlbut's filmout tests at Laser Pacific have verified that our interpretation of the H.264 is the smoothest and most filmic representation available. The magic comes from the use of proprietary interpretation algorithms and I might also mention that we bypass QuickTime for this process, which avoids the whole gamma conundrum. Once the file is living inside our apps on the timeline or project, we deal with the image information at the 32 bit float level. Now that is not saying we can make an 8 bit H.264 DSLR video capture look like perfectly shot IMAX footage scanned at 16 bits, but what we do offer up is the ability to edit, apply effects and color corrections within our apps. at an unprecedented level of quality. So edit, do your VFX and color correction in Premiere Pro and After Effects with confidence that you are getting the best results. Now for the next step…we have all the typical options for exporting these files, so if they have to be passed on to another vendor for DI or another system, use the best option that suits you. For Shane's bootcamp, we exported edited Premiere Pro projects to industry standard uncompressed 10 bit DPX files, which were then color corrected by a Quantel Pablo and projected on a huge screen. They looked absolutely amazing. Cineform is also an amazingly good compressed or uncompressed intermediate codec that rivals Pro Res and DNX and works great with CS5 on both Mac and PC. If you have Final Cut Pro on your MAC, you can choose to export all the various flavors of Pro Res through our Media Encoder, if that works better for you. Then, and only then in the process would you want to choose it as an output option. Converting your files to Pro Res beforehand for use in Adobe CS5 works great, but will not take full advantage of all the image processing that we offer by working natively in H.264. What you NEVER want to do though is to output H.264 as an intermediate. As the blogger mentions, yes…it would be like re-compressing an already compressed format…like saving a JPEG as a JPEG again. One caveat here is for the PC folks…Adobe can't directly output Pro Res through the Media Encoder on Windows for obvious reasons (Final Cut is only for MAC), and that is where the Pro Res codec is supplied. So if you are on a PC, I recommend that you use uncompressed 10 bit DPX output as an intermediate (now available in Premiere Pro's 5.0.2 free update which includes timecode support), a Cineform workflow, or use AJA's KiPRO in conjunction with Adobe CS5 to layoff your finished timeline to Pro Res through this amazing and affordable device.

Paranoia in Hong Kong
A witch-hunt against a U.S. diplomat hurts the territory.
Chinese government organs in Hong Kong are stepping up attacks on America's representative to the territory, Consul General Stephen Young. Last Friday, the Foreign Ministry's Lu Xinhua called in reporters from the Chinese-language press to accuse Mr. Young of interfering in local politics. Such a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, Mr. Lu said, could lead to a diplomat being declared persona non grata and expelled.
Pretty serious stuff, and from that demarche one might think Mr. Young had exceeded his instructions, perhaps by endorsing an opposition party. Not the case. His supposed offense was to hold a press conference on December 6 at which he praised Hong Kong's fulfillment of Deng Xiaoping's promise of "one country, two systems" and its progress toward democratization. That's the kind of statement Beijing used to welcome.
Asked about a scandal involving vote-rigging in local elections last month, Mr. Young went on to express confidence in law enforcement to get to the bottom of it. He also echoed the message of Beijing's top official on Hong Kong affairs, Wang Guangya, that an important qualification for the next chief executive would be popularity with the public.
These anodyne remarks were interpreted by Beijing-owned newspapers as "fanning the flames" of discontent. The Chinese government's apparent objective is to discourage foreign diplomats in Hong Kong from consulting with local politicians, both pro-government and opposition, and making any comments on local affairs, even positive ones. There's a whiff here of the old Soviet approach of blaming foreigners for anything that goes wrong.
This intimidation gambit could make it impossible for diplomats to do their jobs and end up harming Hong Kong's economy. One reason the U.S. and many other countries maintain substantial consular staff in the city is its role as a commercial hub for the region. That means cooperation on a wide range of activities, from port security to disease prevention to combating money laundering.
It would also hurt Hong Kong's autonomy. In 1984, China signed a treaty promising to preserve Hong Kong's separate system for 50 years after the 1997 return to Chinese sovereignty. Local officials have signaled in the past that they welcome the support of foreign governments to preserve that status.
It is on this basis that the U.S. continues to give Hong Kong privileges extended before the handover, but in return the U.S. Congress requires the State Department to monitor compliance with the treaty. By harassing diplomats, Beijing is putting Hong Kong's special status in the international system in jeopardy.
The animus toward Mr. Young may derive from the Obama Administration's more forthright criticisms in the last year of Beijing's human rights record. In a May speech to the American Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. diplomat echoed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's comments on the deteriorating rights in China, including the disappearance of prominent dissidents such as Ai Weiwei and Gao Zhisheng. "So long as brave people like [Nobel Peace Prize winner] Liu Xiaobo remain imprisoned or detained for simply trying to exercise their constitutionally protected words and actions, we will not remain silent," he promised.
If that offended Chinese leaders (and it should be noted Beijing puts out an annual report critical of U.S. human rights problems), they could continue to defend their treatment of people they say violated laws. Instead they fired a shot across the U.S. bow by harassing a diplomat posted in China's freest and most democratic city. This only hurts Hong Kong and draws more attention to Chinese efforts to bully the pro-democracy opposition and dominate the territory's politics.

Paris Harper Lecture with Niall Atkinson: Getting Lost in the Renaissance: The Geography of Urban Disorientation
University of Chicago Center in Paris6 Rue Thomas MannParis, France
A merchant in 14th-century Naples relieves himself at night in an alley, a wood carver in 15th-century Florence ignores a dinner invitation, the poet Petrarch arrives in Rome for the first time, and a Roman servant returning to his native city can't remember where his mistress's palace used to be. What do these characters have in common? They are all hopelessly lost. Premodern city dwellers constructed their sense of self by linking their fates to the people and structures with which they lived. But what if they found themselves in unknown territory or discovered that the streets they thought they knew had become a series of alien encounters? Contrary to prevailing assumptions about the emergence of the modern individual as a self-made entity, these episodes reveal just how unstable one's identity was and how difficult it was to "know thyself." Atkinson will explore the relationship between familiar and unfamiliar urban spaces in the Renaissance and what this can tell us about how we can participate in the construction of modern cities and make them meaningful to our everyday lives.

Niall Atkinson is the Neubauer Family Assistant Professor of Art History and the College. His research has focused on the urban experience of the Renaissance city. He just completed a book manuscript on the soundscapes of Renaissance Florence. His current research explores the more immersive sensorial perception of the urban environment, which has led him to study travel writing and personal descriptions of foreign territories, cities, and monuments by travellers in the premodern Mediterranean world.

End to port dispute 'near'
The Employers & Manufacturers Association says the latest development in the Auckland ports industrial dispute is promising, and a collective agreement is near.
Ports of Auckland has said it will accept the latest recommendations from a facilitator.
Association chief executive, Kim Campbell said the port company has lost a lot of business in the past 18 months, which will be regained once an agreement is reached.
But the union says while it is keen to compromise, it still wants to go into negotiations.
Talks on a collective contract broke down in 2011, leading to strikes, lock-out notices, court action, privacy complaints and threats of mass redundancies.

Villa v Sunderland: Lambert - Westwood in same mould as Scholes
Paul Lambert reckons midfield "engine driver" Ashley Westwood could be Villa's answer to Paul Scholes.
Plaudits have flooded in for Westwood since his stunning strike earned the claret and blues a draw at West Brom on Monday.
And Lambert says the goal was a fitting reward for a player who has excelled since making the step up from League One side Crewe Alexandra last term.
The 23-year-old's performances have brought about comparisons with Manchester United legend Paul Scholes and current Red Devils midfielder Michael Carrick.
Lambert agrees that Westwood is in a similar mould because he "makes the engine work" for his team.
"I would say he's in that mould," said the Villa boss.
"I read somewhere he likes Michael Carrick too. Those are two not bad lads to look at.
"They're two fabulous footballers. Westy will always be his own man but there's nothing wrong with looking at those two.
"You need somebody like him to make the engine work really and that's what he does.
"He makes it tick over. He's a really brainy footballer, really intelligent footballer with great awareness around him.
"He's 23 years old with hopefully his best years in front of him."
Lambert says Westwood's discipline, awareness and composure make him stand out.
He insists the midfielder's willingness to do the "simple stuff" is an underestimated quality.
"You've got to have somebody disciplined to do that, to put the team before themselves," Lambert added.
"I think Westy is like that. He'll put the team before himself. He'll make a five-yard pass where everybody thinks it's a nothing pass but I know how important those little passes can be.
"It's probably the hardest ball in the game because nobody wants to play it, everybody wants to be good and hit an 80-yard pass but he'll do simple things. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is be simple.
"He'll go and take the ball into places where some people won't want to because of the pressure of the crowd.
"He'll take the ball anywhere on the pitch which is a big thing to do at certain times."
