Running wild: Worship reaches 1,000 rushing yards
New Albany's offense has several weapons, but none are more surprising than the rise of senior fullback Kelvin Worship.
Making the move from defense and taking the place of Eric Johnson, Worship has exploded weekly and is now the Bulldogs' first 1,000 yard rusher since Jeremy Cannon in 2007.
"Going into the season, we didn't know who our fullback was going to be," NAHS head coach Ron Price said. "It was an open competition between Kelvin and Boston (Newsome), and Kelvin kinda got the nod in preseason practice because of his ability to pass protect. He picked it up real easy, and we put him out there the first game, and it's been his ever since. He's done an outstanding job taking care of the football, and he's given us the hard, inside yards that we need to open the passing game."
Worship has rushed for over 100 yards in five games so far this season, with his biggest game coming against Itawamba (162 yards), one of the few teams he faced on offense last season.
"Eric was so consistent last year, that Kelvin didn't have much of a chance to play," Price said. "He played a little on offense in the Itawamba game, but he was doing such a good job defensively last year, we kept him there. He came out day one this season, working hard for that job, and he's earned it."
Assistant coach Josh Davis has worked with Worship this season and has noticed several big changes in the Bulldogs' offense, starting with pass protection.
"He's improved our pass protection, and he's also cut down on turnovers," he said. "He's had two turnovers, and it took him all the way until the fifth game before he had his first one. He runs the ball extremely hard, and he's done everything I've asked him to do."
Averaging 7.6 yards a carry, Worship is currently at 1,045 and is making a run at Cannon's school record of 1,783 yards.
"I just thought that it was my time to step up at fullback, and I've been playing hard all year," he said.
While he is excited about the Bulldogs in the playoffs, Worship knows he and the team have to stay focused on their opponent this week.
"This summer, we worked really hard to get where we are, and we're still working hard. We're going to practice for Tishomingo County like we have for any other big game we've had this year," he said.
As far as the school record, he hopes the 'Dawgs play long enough in the postseason to catch up to Cannon.
"I guess I'll get it in the playoffs," he laughed.
Worship is one of 21 Bulldog seniors who will be honored before Friday night's game against Tishomingo County.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the allocation of Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) ports or media server port resources for conferencing or other multipoint applications including audio teleconferencing and video conferencing that require the use of scarce MCU ports or other resources.
2. Statement of the Problem
Current state of the art multipoint conferencing applications or systems require advance knowledge of conferencing events so that scarce port resources can be allocated or reserved for the use of that event. Many applications or systems require that the user actively reserve a certain number of ports for a specific duration at a specific time. For example, setting up a conference call for twelve participants at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. Other, more advanced, applications or systems allow for ad-hoc, or unreserved, events to occur on a capacity-permitting basis, but even these applications or systems allocate a fixed number of port resources to the event for the entire duration of the event. For example, a call-in conference with an expected fifty participants at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. In both cases, this fixed number of port resources is nearly always greater than the number of ports that will actually be utilized in the event.
This conventional practice leads conferencing service providers to overbook their port capacity (sometimes dramatically) in order to accommodate the reservation of ports for the exclusive use of a particular event, where many of the reserved ports will not in fact be utilized by that event. "Overbooking" ports may result in a 50% or greater port utilization inefficiency during peak usage periods. This inefficiency dramatically increases the cost of offering multipoint services because it requires an excess of both expensive hardware capacity and expensive telephony or other network termination to that hardware.
A need exists to more efficiently utilize MCU ports for media server port resources for conferencing or other multipoint applications especially during peak usage periods. A need exists to more efficiently utilize expensive hardware capacity, telephony, and other network termination hardware. A system is needed to provide look-ahead allocation of resources based on what is likely to be needed in the future for a conferencing event. Such allocation should be adjusted over time with no prior knowledge of the event. A need also exists for such an allocation to use self-tuning statistics, to provide a configurable allocation, and configurable event start parameters.
The present invention solves the above problem by providing a method for dynamically allocating MCU resources during a multipoint network event. This occurs by determining the number of MCU resources to allocate at the start of the multipoint network event and then at each of a plurality of modeling intervals during the multipoint event adjusting the number of allocated MCU resources based upon the number of actual inbound users. This method more efficiently utilizes MCU ports for a multipoint network event by allocating less than or equal to the maximum number of ports to start and then continually adjusting the number allocated based upon actual inbound users to the event.
A further method is presented for self-tuning the allocation of MCU resources for multipoint events in advance of use thereby providing a look ahead allocation of resources based on what is likely to be needed in the future for a multipoint network event. This is accomplished by counting the number of multipoint events that have been accumulated within at least one tuning interval, accumulating a number of MCU resources actually utilized during each multipoint event in each tuning interval, and then determining a probability value for future use of MCU resources for an upcoming multipoint event based on the steps of counting and accumulating. In one embodiment, the number of resources are accumulated during modeling intervals of each multipoint event. The present invention provides allocation of MCU resources based on self-tuning statistics, provides configurable allocations, and provides a degree of confidence in the start parameters.
1. Overview.
The present invention provides a time-varying resource allocation algorithm that closely tracks actual resource usage during an event and periodically adjusts the number of resources allocated to that event as the event proceeds. For most multipoint events like conferencing, this means that relatively more ports must be allocated at the beginning of an event, and that this allocation can decrease during the event as the statistical probability of users joining the event decreases. An event may be an audio teleconferencing event, a video conferencing event, or any multipoint event using resources such as MCU ports or media server port resources.
The resource algorithm of the present invention has the additional capability of self-tuning its statistical model based on actual behavior patterns of users of the system over time. This capability ensures that the model is continuously adjusted to yield the maximum possible resource utilization efficiency. This method is also used in an application where exact statistical behavior of the population of users is not known prior to system installation.
The method of the present invention uses the following definitions:
(a) Minimum Start Resources (RSM): The lowest number of resources that must be unallocated in order to allocate space for a new event.
(b) Maximum Resources (RMAX): The largest number of resources that can be utilized by a particular event. This value can vary from event to event, and is usually specified either through stored subscription information or as a parameter included with the signaling for the inbound users.
(c) Start Resource Percentage (RSP): The percentage of "Maximum Resources" that must be unallocated in order to allocate space for a new event. This will also be the number of resources allocated to the new event for the first modeling interval.
(d) Modeling Interval (j): The time interval in between allocated resource adjustments such as, for example, one minute.
(e) Tuning Interval (i): The time interval between tuning adjustments to the statistical modeling table such as, for example, one day.
(f) Confidence Factor (S): A decimal value between zero and one that is used to configure the behavior of the resource allocation algorithm. In general, larger "confidence factors" will result in more resources allocated to an event for any given "modeling interval."
With these definitions in place and with other definitions to be set forth, the invention and its several embodiments are discussed next.
2. Event Initiation
The beginning of an ad-hoc event occurs when the first user initiates, through a telephone call or other means, contact with the application or system for the purpose of joining or creating an event. The application or system may become aware of the user's request for resources through the appearance of the user as a connection to a particular MCU (case 1 as shown in
Prior to any allocation requests, each MCU must conventionally inform the resource allocation process of its available capacity. This action typically occurs when the resource allocation software is initialized, or when new MCU resources are made available for use by the application or system. MCUs, resource allocation software, and allocation requests are conventional and comprise a number of different known approaches.
When an allocation request is received, the resource allocation process will check the available capacity on one or more MCUs and apply the resource allocation algorithm of the present invention to determine whether an event can be started and how many resources to allocate to that event. The algorithm of the present invention will multiply the "Configurable Start Resource Percentage" (RSP) by the "Maximum Resources" (RMAX) value associated with the event, and limit the result by the value of "Configurable Minimum Start Resources" (RSM). The result of this calculation, rounded up to the nearest whole number of resources, will equal the number of resources that is both required for the event to start and to use as the initial resource allocation for the event. Stated mathematically:
R=[(RMAX)(R SP)]RSM Formula I
For example, where "Configurable Start Resource Percentage"=RSP=0.80, "Maximum Resources" (for this event) RMAX=10, and "Configurable Minimum Start Resources" RSM=5:
R=[(10)(0.80)]5=8 resources required to start the event This illustrates the operation of the present invention in starting a multipoint network event with less (i.e., 8 ports) than the requested maximum allocation (i.e., 10 ports). The value of R can be less than or equal to the maximum number of resources.
If an MCU exists with at least enough unallocated resource capacity to allow the initial resource allocation calculated above, then that number of resources will be allocated on that MCU, and inbound users will be directed automatically (except in Case 1 where the user is already on the MCU) to that MCU for participation in the event. The allocation of resources is debited accordingly from the available (unallocated) capacity of the selected MCU.
This process is depicted graphically as timing flow charts in
In Case 1 of the MCU-Originated Event as shown in
Case 2 of the common channel signaling initiated event is shown in
Case 3 of the externally initiated event request is shown in
In all three cases, subsequent to the call or external message that initiated the event, inbound or outbound calls that consume one of the allocated resources will be reported by the MCU 40 via a count update message to the resource allocation process 30 so that it can maintain an accurate count of resources actually expended by debiting its allocation for that event.
In summary, the above sets forth a method for allocating MCU resources for a multipoint network event. An allocation request is preferably received from one of three case examples. It is to be expressly understood that how the allocation request is received can occur by one of the three approaches discussed above, but the invention is not so limited. The request at least contains the number for the maximum MCU resources for the multipoint network event. It also includes other conventional information such as time, etc. The present invention determines, according to Formula I, the number of MCU resources to be allocated for the start of the multipoint network event which number is less than or equal to the maximum MCU resources requested. This allows the event to generally start out with a lower number of MCU resources in order to allow more efficient use of the available MCU resources. Formula I is a preferred algorithm but the present invention is not limited to use of this precise algorithm.
3. Time Varying Resource Allocation During an Event
During an event (e.g., an audio conference call), the resource allocation process 30 applies a statistics-based algorithm of the present invention every "modeling interval (j)" to recalculate the number of resources that should be allocated to the event for the next "modeling interval (j)." A preferred modeling interval (j) is one minute although any suitable such time interval could be used. It is to be understood that while the preferred modeling interval is a constant time interval that the invention is not limited to constant time intervals. As an alternative, the time interval value can change based on age of the event so that the time intervals are shorter at the beginning of the call and become larger as the event ages. This statistics-based algorithm is distinct from Formula I used to allocate resources at the start of the event.
The time-varying resource allocation algorithm is supported by a statistical modeling table that models the behavior of the arrival of event participants over time as shown in
The calculation performed by the resource allocation process 30 for each MCU for every "modeling interval (j)" is as follows:
Where the Ractual value is the number of resources actually in use in a particular event, the probability value (Pj) comes from the modeling table described above for
For example, where RMAX=10, S=0.98, and with only one event active:
1. Early in the Event.
When few participants are present (e.g., Ractual=1), the probability (Pj=0.4) of new participants arriving is high and, in the case of one event, then Formula II results in:
In this case, the "max resources" upper limit prevents the allocated resources, which would be 21 otherwise, from exceeding the maximum for this event. The above represents only a single event for illustration purposes and, in operation, the lower limit (i.e., +1) would be applied by summing actual resources over all events.
2. Later in the Same Event.
Where(Ractual=5 and Pj=0.05), and, in the case of one event, then:
The resource allocation process sums the individual allocation results from each of the events running on a MCU to arrive at a total allocation pool for each MCU, so fractional resources are permitted at the event level; rounding to whole resources occurs after the aggregation of results from all MCU events. The above represents only a single event for illustration purposes and, in operation, the lower limit (i.e., +1) would be applied by summing actual resources over all events.
3. Even Later in the Event.
Where (Ractual=5 and Pj=0.001), and in the case of one event then the likelihood of adding new resources is very low:
In this case, the lower allocation limit of 6 prevents the number of allocated resources Rj, which would be 5.05 otherwise, from falling below the actual resources in use plus one. The above represents only a single event for illustration purposes and, in operation, the lower limit (i.e., +1) would be applied by summing actual resources over all events.
The examples set forth above are not intended to limit the application of Formula II under the teachings of the present invention. Rather, the examples illustrate the operation of Formula II for a single event. What has been illustrated above is the situation where the confidence factor S at the different modeling time intervals U) is static (in the examples, S=0.98).
What has been described above is a method under the teachings of the present invention for time varying the allocation of MCU resources during a multipoint network event. This method process determines the number of MCU resources to allocate for the start of the multipoint network event as discussed above with respect to Formula I or with any other algorithm for determining the number of resources to allocate for the start of such a multipoint network event. During the actual multipoint network event, the method of the present invention at each of a plurality of modeling intervals (j) adjusts the number of allocated MCU resources based on users actually in the multipoint network event at that time. This time varying allocation or dynamic allocation allows the method and system of the present invention to rapidly adjust the allocation of MCU resources to accommodate incoming users. In the preferred embodiment, this occurs by the calculation of Formula II but it is to be expressly understood that any suitable modeling algorithm could be used to accomplish the time varying allocation and that while the modeling intervals are constant such as at one-second or one-minute intervals, any suitable timing could be utilized. It is to be understood that in a variation of the present invention that the modeling interval (j) could be very short such as about one second or less so as to appear to be continuous.
4. Self-Tuning Statistics
The probability values contained in the Modeling Table that is utilized by the resource allocation algorithm during its time-varying allocation calculations will vary with different types of events and different populations of event users. One of the functions of the resource allocation process 30 of the present invention is to continually accumulate statistical data that describes the behavior of a population of users with respect to a particular application or system where this method of resource allocation is utilized, and to dynamically modify the probability values P in its Modeling Table periodically where appropriate.
The self-tuning technique of the present invention involves the accumulation of allocation values for each "modeling interval (j)" within a "tuning interval (i)," along with a count (w) of the number of accumulated events within the "tuning interval" for weighting purposes. The modeling interval (j) is short such as one minute and the tuning interval (i) is long such as one day. Whatever actual times are used the tuning interval is much greater than the modeling interval such as at least by two magnitudes greater. The resource allocation process maintains a table of these values and adjusts the Modeling Table at the end of each "tuning interval" based on the weight of the events in the tuning interval relative to the weight of all of the events in the Modeling Table.
The self-tuning process of the present invention involves three tables: the Accumulation Table of
The Accumulation Table shown in
The Tuning Table shown in
Calculation of normalized resource allocations, {overscore (R)}i,j is according to the following formula: where the Rj values come from the Accumulation Table of
The Modeling Table of
Where m=the number of tuning intervals used and wi=the weight factor for each tuning interval.
What follows next is the self-tuning process 800 of the present invention based upon the tables of
Step 1: Accumulate 810 Actual New Arrivals for each "Modeling Interval (j)"
Whenever a new event starts, the resource management process 30 will increment the counter (w) in the Accumulation Table that keeps track of the total number of events that have started during the current "tuning interval (i)". During an event, whenever a resource is expended on a new event participant, the resource management process will increment the appropriate "modeling interval (j)" counter in the Accumulation Table.
Step 2: At the End of the "tuning interval (i)," Build 820 a New Row in the Tuning Table
When the end of a "tuning interval (i)" is reached, the resource management process 30 will calculate (Formula III) a new row of normalized resource accumulations, {overscore (R)}i,j, from the values in the Accumulation Table. This new row is then added to the Tuning Table so that its values will be taken into account during the next calculation of Modeling Table values.
Step 3: Remove 830 the Oldest Row in the Tuning Table
Once the new row of Tuning Table values has been added, the oldest row is removed. This allows the system to consider only the most recent "tuning intervals (i)" in the Formula IV calculation of P values for the Modeling Table. The number of "tuning intervals (i)" retained in the Tuning Table is chosen so as to achieve a desired modeling "inertia," that is, to balance the competing desires of having the system performance adapt reasonably quickly to changing usage patterns yet avoid drastic changes in system behavior that might be caused by statistically aberrant data in any one "tuning interval (i)." A useful range of tuning intervals (j) would be 15 to 90, assuming that the tuning intervals (j) are days.
Step 4: Load 840 Modeling Table with New P Values
Finally, the Modeling Table is loaded with newly calculated (Formula IV) Pj values. These new values reflect the contribution of the new row of Tuning Table data and no longer reflect the contribution of the oldest row of Tuning Table data that was removed in step 3.
This is a preferred approach for self-tuning the value of Pj and it is to be expressly understood that any suitable approach for performing the self-tuning function could be utilized under the teachings of the present invention and that the present invention is not to be limited to this specific approach.
In summary, the self-tuning method of the present invention establishes tuning intervals such as at least daily intervals wherein the number of multipoint network events are counted. The MCU resources actually utilized during each multipoint network event are accumulated. The resource allocations are normalized based upon the Formula III calculation. Then a probability value for future use of MCU resources for an upcoming multipoint network event is calculated according to Formula IV. These formulas are preferred, but the present invention is not limited to these formulas. Any suitable statistical method can be used to provide self-tuning of MCU resource utilization.

When Stanford Digital Repository staff found out someone was depositing research data about using x-ray lasers to explode jets of liquid, I have to admit there was a bit of excitement. Researching explosions (even on a small scale) sounds like an immense amount of fun. But Stanford researcher Claudiu Stan and his colleagues were doing way more important things out at SLAC than just having fun. They were performing serious research into fluid dynamics.
You are invited to attend three Mnova workshops being held this Friday, June 24th, at the Swain Library. Please RSVP by sending email to firstname.lastname@example.com

About this series
Over the next few weeks I will post a series of brief step-by-step "how-to" tutorials on making use of digital resources from the David Rumsey Map Center and Collection, that I presented in my "Hacking Rumsey" talk, presented at the opening events for The David Rumsey Map Center, at Stanford University Library.
We're starting small, with the easiest tools (like the David Rumsey Map Collection MapTab Chrome Browser Plug-in, which I covered in a previous post) that appeal to the most people, first. Eventually we will work our way up through more complex use of the collections and tools available from The Stanford University Library.
About this series
As part of the opening events for The David Rumsey Map Center at Stanford's Green Library I recently gave a talk about the various ways you can "hack" the David Rumsey Map Collection. I showed how you can make use of the David Rumsey Map Collection using a variety of Stanford University Library resources and services.
Over the next few weeks I will post a series of brief step-by-step "how-to" tutorials on making use of digital resources from the David Rumsey Map Center and Collection. For the most part, I will be highlighting the resources I presented in my talk.

Jewelry Pegboard
Cabinets And Closets For Kids
With the large amount of items acquired throughout the years, it is important to organize toys and other objects in your children's closets. There are countless products on the market that are designed specifically for kids' closets and storage. Children's closets can be both functional and aesthetically stylish to fit youthful and fun surroundings. Special storage accessories can be used to designate space for various items that are categorized. When you have young ones running around, it is important to keep clutter to a minimum for both functionality and safety.
Regarding design, an element that is a significant part of the process includes the color scheme. This is usually based off of gender, as more color schemes seem to be more fit for a girl than a boy, and vice versa. There are also gender-neutral color schemes that can fit either, or even both. Feminine colors tend to be softer, with hues of pink, purple, and white. Masculine colors are usually blue and colors with darker hues and tones. With many girl closets, rods are handy because they hold a large capacity of clothing. They can be positioned above the other to hold even more clothing and items to be hung. Shelving units are also helpful for little girls' closets to store dolls, books, and other toys. Bins can also be used to store on shelves, organizing toys and smaller objects. Top shelves can house bins with things that are either old or do not need everyday use. These bins can be labeled with contents to be more helpful.
Older girl closets usually have more than one rod, to hang various clothing with different lengths. Sometimes a dresser might be used for additional clothing storage as well. For older girls, a nice accessory to have is a vanity. If closets are roomy enough, vanities can fit in them, being concealed when the closet is closed. Vanities are the perfect place for jewelry, makeup, and other toiletries. They come in a variety of styles, some being more antiquated and elegant, while others can be more minimalistic and modern.
For younger boys, dressers are a viable option for storing clothing. A rod might be used to hang jackets and pants. However, smaller boys usually don't require multiple rods, such as girls with dresses and other ensembles require. Bins and boxes are also very ideal for male closets to organize books, toys, and games accordingly. Plastic colorful ones are inexpensive and fun. Other bins can be made out of wood or wicker for a more masculine look.
Shoe racks are also a great option for all kid's closets. They help to organize while removing clutter and mess away from the floor. Pegboards are sometimes used behind closet walls to hang hats, belts, and other accessories. This gives closets a fun tool bench style aesthetic. Overall, children's closets should be festive and functional. With all of the different products on the market, you will be able to find the right storage and styles to fit all of your child's organizational needs.

I usually do not drop a bunch of responses, however after looking at
through a bunch of comments here Jewelry Pegboard | Jewelry.
I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay. Could it be just me or do a few of these responses come across like they are left by brain dead individuals? And, if you are writing at additional online social sites, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of all of all your social networking pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I am actually thankful to the holder of this web site who has shared this impressive piece of writing
at at this place.
By http://vincebrinkman.wordpress.com/, March 19, 2015 @ 3:24 am
I've been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any fascinating
article like yours. It is beautiful value enough for me.
In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the net will probably be a lot more useful than ever before.

Work begins for Rancho Mission Viejo's next village, Esencia
RANCHO MISSION VIEJO – Not one but two bocce ball clubs have sprung up in Sendero, the first village in the planned 14,000-home community of Rancho Mission Viejo.
Sendero residents are enjoying the new hammock garden. They're attending inaugural village-wide events, such as the recent Outdoor Fest. They're taking their kids to the water play area and stopping for a drink at one of two clubhouse bars.
Just 10 months after the grand opening, Sendero is approaching 600 homes sold of the 941 that will be built just south of Ladera Ranch. Construction also is underway on a 285-unit apartment complex, a fire station, a 15-acre park and community gardens.
Now, developers are setting their sights on Rancho Mission Viejo's second village: Esencia.
It will be three times the size of Sendero, with 2,700 homes plus an apartment complex. Homes will be built on 860 acres east of Sendero in a series of neighborhood terraces, some with views to the ocean.
Grading for the project is underway, spokeswoman Diane Gaynor said, with an anticipated grand opening in late 2015.
Esencia – which means "essence" or "indispensable" in Spanish – will be home to Rancho Mission Viejo's first school. The kindergarten through eighth-grade school is expected to open for the 2016-17 school year as part of Capistrano Unified School District.
The second village also will include 525,000 square feet of retail space, a day care facility, clubhouses, parks and trails.
Like Sendero, Gaynor said the community will feature a variety of home styles by different builders. While it will also include homes specifically for residents age 55 and older, Gaynor said they will likely be built as a series of neighborhoods rather than a gated senior community like Sendero's Gavilan.
Esencia will be built in two phases. The first will cover 464 acres and include some 870 homes plus an apartment complex and the school.
All residential parcels for the first phase are under option by homebuilders, with builders expected to take possession of the sites to start construction in December.
Work on infrastructure needed to support the community, such as water service and roads, is underway. Construction of Cow Camp Road, including a bridge that will provide access to Esencia, will be completed in early 2015.
To help finance the infrastructure, Rancho Mission Viejo plans to establish a community facilities district as it did for Sendero. That means Esencia residents will be paying Mello-Roos taxes to finance an estimated $75 million to $100 million in work needed to accompany the first phase of development.
If things progress as planned, developers estimate there will be about 150 homes occupied in Esencia roughly two years from now.

He should fight Kessler, and if he wins, fight Froch first. He is proves himself worthy then he should fight Ward.
And at a neutral venue, so when he gets Andrade'd he won't be able to have someone break the rules for him.

This is boxing, deserving fighters rarely get the big fight. Bute Bute's win over Johnson is good enough for him to get this fight. Although i would absolutely love to see Froch beat the ***** out Bute.

I wouldn't mind seeing any of those fights. I do think Bute will fight Froch first as a build up to him possibly fighting ward. Maybe Ward will give Kessler a rematch in Denmark???

Although i hate Ward, i do actually agree with this, Bootey has fought no one and does not deserve a shot at ward, he should take on Kessler first, only thing is if Ward does not fight Bootey next then who does he fight? Can see Ward moving up to 175 after a few more at 168

I agree but if Ward don't fight against Bute, who is a interesting fight?? probably Martinez. But if Ward don't fight Bute next and Bute lost against Froch or Kessler, the people is going to say that Ward ducked Bute because his style.
I want Ward to punish Bute

Bute should fight one of those two guys and then go straight to Ward. As of right now Ward Bute is the biggest fight at 168.

'The Social Network' Takes Top Prize at Editor Awards
"The Social Network" has another honor to add to its growing list of accolades - it has taken the top prize at the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Awards. The movie, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield, is among the frontrunners for this month's Oscars, and it was awarded the Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) at the Los Angeles ceremony on Saturday, February 19.
Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy or Musical) went to "Alice in Wonderland", while "Toy Story 3" was named the Best Edited Animation Feature Film. Other winners at the prizegiving include "Temple Grandin" (Best Edited Miniseries or Motion Picture for Television) and "Modern Family" (Best Edited Half Hour Series for Television).
The ACE Awards often serve as a good indicator of the eventual Best Picture �Academy Award winner - over the past five years, the honor has matched the Oscar for Editing and Best Picture each time, except in 2007.

KB: OS X 10.2.1 kernel panic, Classic memory

French show carries on with iPhones
Following a prolonged power loss in a French TV studio, the crew was able to use a combination of limited studio lighting and a number of iPhones to continue taping the Saturday episode of talk show On n'est pas couché ("We're Still Awake"), using the resulting footage in the first edited episode. The Plus-model iPhones used for the impromptu shoot completion were either iPhone 6 Plusses (which shoot in 1080p) or 6s Plus models (which can shoot in 4K). The decision to use the iPhones to complete the show was made after a power outage at France 2's studio stretched to more than three hours. http://bit.ly/299wqDt
Scrivener for iOS to arrive in late July
For some long-time Scrivener users, to quote Paul Simon, "these are the days of miracle and wonders." As it marks its 10th anniversary in business, developer Keith Blount has announced that the long-awaited iOS version of his creative-writing tool Scrivener is to be submitted to the App Store, following strong praise from beta-testers. The program, expected in late July, will sell for $20 and work with both the iPad and iPhone. When we interviewed Blount last January, he added that Scrivener 3 for Mac would follow along shorty afterwards. http://bit.ly/2901XLE
WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l

Video: Nick Jonas Falls When Trying Acrobatic Stunt With Joe on Stage
October 27, 2010 (4:45 am) GMT
The youngest member of the Jonas Brothers made a front flip with the help from his brother Joe, but he couldn't land smoothly.
Nick Jonas fell on his back when performing with Jonas Brothers in Mexico City during their South American tour. The youngest member of the band suffered the on-stage mishap when singing "Burnin' Up" with his two brothers.
While Nick and Joe Jonas took the mic, Kevin Jonas got his guitar. Halfway through the set, Joe helped Nick do a front flip but Nick didn't make a smooth landing. When he tried to get up, the ex-boyfriend of Miley Cyrus failed and hit the floor again.
One of the musical guests that night was Demi Lovato. The "Sonny with a Chance" actress made a live duet with her ex-boyfriend Joe in "Wouldn't Change a Thing" which is featured as a soundtrack for Disney Original Movie "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam".
