FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Gov. Steve Beshear took three planeloads
of officials with him to Pike County at a cost of more than $7,000
for the first stop in a six-week statewide tour.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports the flights came just days
after Beshear suggested ways state workers could conserve on fuel
when commuting.
Beshear, joined by all but two of his Cabinet secretaries,
presided over the town-hall meeting in the eastern Kentucky town of
Virgie to talk with constituents.
Three planes left Frankfort's Capitol Airport Thursday bound for
Pike County-Hatcher Field, according to the airplane tracking Web
site FlightAware.com.
Political opponents criticized the move, pointing to the state's
budget crunch. The administration defended the flights, saying they
saved officials' time.
Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Len Peters, who flew in
one of the planes, said Beshear will likely take top aides with him
to the other 12 planned stops in the tour slated to end in August.
But Peters said the officials are likely to drive to many of the
other events and will try to combine other business with the future
town-hall meetings.

24 Fun Facts About Beer [infographic]
Regular readers here understand that choosing sustainable beer is important, but there's a whole lot more that you may not have known about this fermented beverage.
Beer has a long, rich history, and this infographic shares some interesting facts, many of which I didn't know before. My favorite is the origin of the India Pale Ale (IPA). IPAs are my favorite sort of beer, hands down. There's nothing like a bitter, flowery, ice cold IPA on the porch after a long week.
Of course, drinking too much of anything boozy is far from healthy (despite what fact #15 below says), but a cold beer every once in a while isn't going to hurt you.
Do you have a favorite type of beer? Tell us in the comments! But before you do, crack open a cold one and check out the infographic:

Another Sherry Rodarmor Bogus Complaint
SUBMITTED: Friday, February 19, 2010POSTED: Friday, February 19, 2010
Firstly consumers should know that Rip Off Report.com is basically a non-edited database of "consumer complaints" of highly questionable validity.
Anyone can file a "report" and say virtually anything about a person or company regardless of the merit or truth of the claim (Many companies have things posted on Rip Off like "The CEO is a pedophile"). Rip Off then publishes the report which is then immediately posted and for many companies instantly shows up on page 1 of Google or similar search engines. Rip off Report will not remove the report. Instead, they allow the person to post a rebuttal--or for a fee, the "editors" will post something next to the claim stating that it is false. Operating under this format, Rip Off.com is basically nothing more than an extortion scheme.
My husband Colin Fritzler, and I Kimberly Fritzler and our WINDROCK Inc corporation have been vilified on Rip Off and other complaint sites by a never-do-well mass breeder of dogs from San Antonio, Texas--Sherry F Rodarmor who has a kennel known as "Shefaro". We have NEVER had any dealings with Sherry Rodarmor, nor is she a person we even know. She had a grievance which was resolved more TWO YEARS ago with a person known to us and yet she continues her online on assault against us, people who had nothing to do with the original problem! Sherry Rodarmor is a person with ample time on her hands and harbors an obvious vendetta. Rodarmor is guilty of filing pages of bogus Rip Off reports under multiple aliases and is is an effective ruse as Rip Off will not even verify identity, let alone do any verification of legitimacy of content of alleged claims.
Sherry Rodarmor's writing is easily identified by the same outrageous lies and false accusations. Her writing always includes links or URL to her hate sites targeting Windrock, those being www. shameonwindrock and www.shefaro A quick check of all the Rip Off reports filed against WINDROCK easily confirms Ms. Rodarmor is the author of all of them.
This particular report is only one example. Until Rip Off Report undergoes a major overhaul of its policies, any reports filed on this forum are suspect and should not be considered as even remotely valid.
WINDROCK Inc has a long proud history of satisfied customers and a sterling record of producing some of the best dual purpose greyhounds available today. We invite interested parties to visit our website at http://www.windrockhounds.net

Busted! Shefaro & Greyhound Mom are One in the Same!

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 25, 2008POSTED: Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Please note.... "Greyhound Mom" and "Shefaro" are the same person on RipOff Report.
If you carefully read the posts made by those two personna, you will see where statements are made by both. For example, Report #323521 has two rebuttals by "Shefaro". The first one states, "Heather is lying about the fact that she never received her ice beds. I have on the webpage a picture of the United States Post Office Priority Mail CONFIRMATION proving that Heather Roach received her ice beds. She was trying to get an extra set of beds for FREE."
Then, as "Greyhound Mom" for the same report, there is this, "Heather purchased ice beds from me and received them. I have the USPS confirmation receipt posted on my webpage In an effort to obtain more FREE icebeds, she claimed she never received them."
There ya have it folks! Same person, two RipOff accounts. BTW, she does include the same webpage under both names. You can see it for yourself in Report #323521.
Bogus reports being filed! Bogus "consumer suggestions" being filed! Sherry Faye Rodarmor has been booted off of several sites, i.e., Greyhound-Data.com and Greyhound-Ancestry.com, for abusing the sites and using the data that they provide in a derogatory manner. It appears that she is doing the same to this site!

This report is in response to Shefaro's rebuttal of 9/26/08. In her rebuttal, such as it is, she states:
"As to puppyfind, I have no ads on puppyfind, let alone numerous breeds."
That is true. PuppyFind yanked all of her ads when they found out she was plagierizing copyrighted material. Articles which were published in magazines such as The Dog News. She also lifts materials from copyrighted websites such as the one, AKC Greyhound Controversy, copyrighted back in 2002. Kudos to PuppyFind for pulling the ads!
"I also am not a puppy mill."
I guess it depends upon one's description of "puppy mill". Shefaro has produced more than 90 litters of borzoi dogs. Each litter was publicized on her website as well as on numerous puppy sales sites such as Next Day Pets, Puppy Find, etc. For a partial listing please go to Baddogpeople.com and Shefaro. You will find a link to an Excel spreadsheet. I was appalled when I saw how many dogs she has produced.
Shefaro resigned from the AKC parent club for Borzoi. She resigned before they could expel her from the club. She is not a member in good standing with them and they will not give her a breeder referral. Other dog people have been duped into selling her dogs. I helped her get a dog back of her breeding, which was going to "friends" in CA. I only found out later that the dog was going to the notorious rescue group, Gentle Giants. Please go to Gentle Giant News.
Ms. Rodarmor, because of a mistake which was made, has attempted to crucify people who I have known for years: Kim Fritzler, Anne Sheridan & Renee McCartin. She is dragging the names of innocent people through the mud, without any thought as to how it affects them. I refer to the sister of Renee.
"It is Heather's mentor and friend Kimberly Fritzler..."
I do not know Heather, but I can empathize with her. I can attest that, Kim did not know Renee. I'd guess that Kim does not know Heather. She certainly has not mentored her in any way.
"...Windrock Greyhounds who makes those false claims... If you want to read about lies and unethical breeders, please visit Heather's friend's page http://www.shefaro.com/windrockgreyhounds."
Yes, that is the place to go if you want to know about lies. Ms. Rodarmor of Shefaro borzoi has concocted a tangled web of lies attempting to show a conspiracy against her. Why would any REASONABLE PERSON rant and rave so in public? You need to know that I have been included in that conspiracy. She has insinuated that I've killed dogs. She has outright called me a liar and a cheat. She has said a lot of things and I am of the belief that she is guilty of all those things of which she accuses others.
Windrock is a noted greyhound breeder both in the USA & abroad. If you are unethical, overseas purchasers will not buy from you. Bad reps are known about quickly in the small greyhound community.
"Be sure to click on the Testing Lies and More Testing Lies links...There is documented proof of Fritzler's claims to health test her dogs and the actual records. Fritzler/Windrock's lies fully documented."
Ms. Rodarmor doth protest too much! There are only three dogs of Shefaro breeding in the OFA database. (OFA is the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. They maintain a database of dogs & cats, which have had testing for specific genetic abnormalities, such as hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, cardiac issues, eye anomalies, etc. There are diseases for which there are no genetic tests: GVD (bloat & torsion), cancers, etc.) Of the three dogs, none of them are owned by her. There is not a single dog owned by Ms. Rodarmor registered in the OFA database as having passed or failed any genetic health testing. Ms. Fritzler, OTOH, has numerous dogs listed. At last count, there were 9 hounds with the Windrock name in the database. She has owned dogs bred by other people, i.e., Sobers, Greystone, etc. There are 8 hounds bred by others, that I know she has owned (or still does own), in the database. Ms. Fritzler has spent many, many thousands of dollars on health testing her dogs. What has Ms. Rodarmor, Shefaro, spent? Nothing from what I can tell. Please tell me, who is lying about what?
"Please visit the page and click all the links to see what kind of people write negative rip off reports about me. Please then consider the source of the rip off report.."
Yes, please do consider who is writing the reports. Are the reports written by normal, REASONABLE people? Or, are the reports written by someone without any moral character? Visit the Shefaro website and read all of the stories. Then, please, visit http://www. baddogpeople.com website and get the facts of the matter. Read what others have written in response. Read the testimonials of people long associated with Ms. Rodarmor & Shefaro. You decide.
In closing, Ms. Rodarmor has a long history of plagierism, lawsuits, an expired arrest warrant in NJ, attempted theft, fraud, lies, etc. If I were you, I'd avoid her like the plague. She is bad news.
PS. Another website worth reading is http://shameonshefaro.net Rodarmor has a long history of abuse

This Shefaro person is claiming that dogs have died from torsion and that Kim does not test for it. Of course she doesn't test for it. There IS NO GENETIC TEST for torsion! A genetic marker has not been found. Researchers ASSUME it MAY be genetic, but THEY DON'T KNOW. How do you test for something where there isn't a test?
Kim's dogs are not abused or unhealthy, as that Shefaro person would have one believe. I don't know where they are coming from, but he/she is so far off base it is downright funny in a sick sort of way. But, then again, I've checked out the Shefaro website and it is nothing but a conglomeration of sick & twisted lies about people I have known for a long time - people other than the Fritzlers. I'm thinking that the author of the complaint is projecting her own actions upon others to absolve herself of any latent guilt she may feel about her abusing and bullying others.

Three arrested in Houma robbery and beating case
Published: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
Three men have been arrested in connection with the beating and robbery of an elderly man at his west Houma apartment last week, according to police.
Adrian Joseph Naquin, 20, 1208 Academy St., and Cory Michael Porche, 19, 375 Westside Blvd., were charged with simple robbery, according to reports. Brandon Paul LeBoeuf, 18, 375 Westside Blvd., was charged with simple robbery and second-degree battery.
Police said the three men attacked the unidentified 70-year-old man inside his Quail Court apartment several weeks ago -- knocking him down and kicking him before taking his wallet, which contained about $200, and keys.
The three reportedly targeted the man because they found out he had recently received a large check.
An investigation revealed that one of the suspects punched and kicked the man, a second held him down and the third served as lookout, police said.
The man didn't report the crime because he didn't want to get anyone in trouble, police said, but other apartment residents who heard rumors about the attack notified officials.
The three men were arrested and taken to the parish jail where Naquin Porche's bails were set at $7,000 each. LeBouef's bail was set at $15,000.
Porche was released on bond, but the other two were still in police custody late Monday afternoon, a jail spokesman said.

Shark Is Efficient Killer, but Picky Eater
Published: July 15, 1997
(Page 2 of 2)
Judging from stomach contents, the beast can indeed devour prey whole, including other sharks and sea lions. Though one of its nicknames is ''man-eater'' (another is ''white death''), no one knows for certain if people are in fact a preferred food.
To explore such questions, scientists in the last decade have increasingly studied the beast's predatory habits. Dr. Klimley of the Bodega Marine Laboratory, working with Peter Pyle and Scot D. Anderson, did a pioneering study near the Farallon Islands, which lie some 30 miles west of San Francisco in one of the most productive fisheries on the West Coast.
Video recordings were made of 129 great-white attacks on seals and sea lions, the assaults rich in explosive splashes in bloodstained water.
An analysis suggested that a shark near the surface would bite its victim, drag it down bleeding, carry it underwater and perhaps take another bite, then let the carcass float upward. If the victim was still alive, the act might be repeated.
The shark's aim, the scientists deduced, was to have the prey bleed to death as soon as possible, minimizing a violent struggle.
In an interview, Dr. Klimley noted that attacks on people often followed a similar pattern -- but the sharks, after dragging humans down, bleeding, often let them go.
Dr. Klimley said white sharks might spit out humans, birds and sea otters because their bodies lacked the energy-rich layers of fat possessed by animals like seals and whales. ''If they ingest something that's not energetically profitable, then they're stuck with that for a few days'' of slow digestion, he said. ''Fat has twice the energy value of muscle.''
Dr. Klimley noted three recent attacks along the northern California coast near Bodega Bay in which people had been quickly let go.
''Can you imagine?'' he said. ''These sharks are seizing people and holding them very gingerly to make this decision. They strike and hold and release -- and that's for big sharks, three or four meters long.'' A meter is equal to 3.3 feet.
Worldwide, great white sharks attack people four or five times a year, perhaps killing one of them.
An even more subtle side of predation involves the tail-slapping ritual, which Dr. Klimley discovered and has described. One white competing with another over a kill will often twist its body to the side, lift its tail and slap the sea surface, often splashing water in the direction of the rival.
''A shark was permitted to feed further on a seal only if the vigor and frequency of its tail slaps were greater than those of its opponent,'' Dr. Klimley wrote in a paper on the ritual in the Academic Press book ''Great White Sharks.''
To study the shark's feeding habits, scientists are about to inaugurate a system of acoustic tags and buoys that will reveal the position of seals and great whites as they battle under the sea.
The first-of-its-kind experiment is to begin this fall along the California coast near Santa Cruz and Ano Nuevo, a rocky isle that is the year-round home of 1,500 to 5,000 elephant seals. It and is a stop-and-shop for great whites.
Twenty acoustic transmitters will be attached to as many sharks and elephant seals, and the underwater signals will be picked up by three electronic buoys and radioed to scientists on shore. The work is financed by the University of California at Davis, which runs the Bodega Marine Laboratory, and the National Science Foundation, a Federal agency that supports basic research.
Heading the investigation are Dr. Klimley, the shark specialist, and Dr. Burney J. Le Boeuf, a seal expert at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
''It's difficult to know what the predator is doing and the evasive tactics of the prey,'' Dr. Le Boeuf said in an interview. ''Now we have a chance to understand that very well.
''I think we can find out some fundamental things about this animal that have eluded us -- basic things like how many there are around a seal rookery. It's like a supermarket. The seals are coming and going at all times. So why don't the sharks live there all year round?''
The speculation, Dr. Le Boeuf said, is that the great whites breed in the south and move north for easy feeding.
''But even so, once in central California,'' he said, ''how do they divide the food among themselves? We don't have a clue. Whether it is the most dominant individuals and families, or more random, no one knows.''
Scientists say a better understanding of the life history of the white terror will ultimately help it survive the increasingly crowded seas of the next century.
''If we want to conserve them, we have to figure out where they go,'' said Dr. Long, of the California Academy of Sciences. ''There's still a lot of mysteries.''
Diagram: ''Bloody Clues to a Killer's M.O.'' By studying red stains and surface attacks, scientists have found that the shark apparently tries to get victims to bleed to death quickly in an effort to minimize violent struggle. Sharks near the surface bite prey, drag it down bleeding, carry it underwater and perhaps take another bite, then let the carcass float upward. If the victim is still fighting, the act may be repeated. (The New York Times; Illustration by Michael Rothman)(pg. C1) ''On the Scent'' Great white sharks' noses can sniff blood at great distances. A large part of a shark's brain is devoted to the sense of smell. ''Destroying Bone and Flesh'' Extraordinarily strong teeth are made of three layers of enamel that crisscross to withstand impact, twisting and bending. ''Tracking Distant Turmoil Acute sensors called lateral-line organs, which run the length of the shark's body, can detect disturbances in seawater, likely to signal the presence of prey, at ranges of a mile or more. ''New Insights Into a Perfect Killing Machine Scientists are exploring the hidden life of the great white shark, discovering how it tracks and kills its prey and how it vies with others of its own kind for the spoils. ''Ritual Combat Over Dinner'' After a kill by two male sharks, scientists observed them in a splashing display to determine who got the carcass, first swimming past each other without toouching, then rolling over slightly to splash water in the other's direction. The shark that managed to stir up the most water in several passes ended up with the meal. (Source: ''Great White Sharks,'' A. P. Klimley and D. G. Ainley (Academic Press)(pg. C2)

By David Pan Enterprise sports editor
Meadowdale's Josie Dow is a quick study.
Though she's only been playing tennis seriously for two years, the Maverick junior showed some veteran poise in winning her first Western Conference 3A South Division singles championship.
Dow defeated Shorecrest's Meera Limaye when the Scot freshman was forced to default during the third set of the title match May 13 at Jackson High School.
At the time of the default, Dow was ahead 3-1 after losing the first set 6-2 and winning the second 6-4. Limaye won the first meeting between the two earlier in the year.
"During the regular season I didn't feel like I was playing that well," Dow said. "I knew I had to be aggressive."
Dow spent much of the first set trying to get reacquainted with Limaye.
"I was kind of getting a feel for her again," Dow said. "I hadn't seen her in a long time."
The momentum started shifting in the second set.
"She was getting a little bit slower," Dow said. "I started getting ahead. She was making mistakes that she usually doesn't make, which I was kind of surprised about."
The heat appeared to be affecting Limaye in the third set and after a 15-minute break, the match was called.
Dow advanced to this week's 3A District 1 tournament, which was scheduled to start May 18 at Mount Vernon High School.
In the semifinals, Dow defeated Glacier Peak's Catherine Jorgenson 2-6, 6-4, 7-5. Dow opened the tournament with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Lynnwood's Hannah Ham.
"I tend to figure out my opponent more in the first set," Dow said. "I'm not a big first-set winner."
Nerves also could have played a role in the first-set loss in the finals, according to Meadowdale coach Mark Schneider.
"Going into that finals, she was a little bit unsure because she had only seen Meera once," Schneider said.
Dow's strong play in the second set boosted her spirits.
"She had a lot of confidence going into the third set," Schneider said.
Dow is now focused on advancing to the district finals. The top two players earn berths to state, while the third-place finisher is the alternate. Dow placed third in districts last year.
"I'm really focused on my goal," Dow said. "It's like my coach said: 'Come in, clock in and take care of business.' … You've got to get the job done. You have to be focused from the beginning."
Dow tucks away in the back of her mind what works when she prevails in a match.
"Every time she wins a match, she builds on that," Schneider said. "She doesn't forget what it takes to win. She doesn't forget her strategies once she's played somebody once."
Dow used to play select soccer but gave that up to focus on tennis.
"I just love (tennis). I played almost every day in the summer," she said. "It's really my main focus."
Teammate Olivia Bates finished fifth in singles and also moved on to districts. Meadowdale's Vanessa Woo and Natalie Buslach took fourth in doubles.

Consumers Unlikely to Drop Google for Bing, J.P. Morgan Says
A new report from J.P. Morgan says that while Bing, Microsoft's new search engine, is registering with consumers, most of them are unlikely to switch to it from Google or their primary search tool.
J.P. Morgan surveyed 763 adult U.S. Internet users earlier this month and found that the majority of them (59%) were aware of Bing, thanks in part to Microsoft's $80 million advertising campaign.
A quarter of the respondents (and 42% of those who had heard of Bing) had tried the site, though analyst Imran Khan noted that many of those users were likely testing a new product rather than making a switch. "Of the respondents who had tried Bing, only 38.9% used it more than five times last month," he wrote in the report.
But about 70% of the respondents didn't change their search behavior. The biggest problem Microsoft faces, Mr. Khan adds, is that most Web users are satisfied with their search experience. "While we expect competition in the search market to increase, we think it will be difficult to shift search behavior if people are completely satisfied with their current search engine," he wrote.
Bing's market-share gains are more likely to come at the expense of other rivals, such as IAC's Ask and AOL. Roughly one quarter of the survey participants said they used those two search tools less since Bing's launch, compared to only 11% of Google users and 16% of Yahoo users who reported using those services less post-Bing.

I use a <span>-Element in my title,
and with this plugin the <span> is shown in Google News. Which is pretty ugly. :(
For example:
Before the new plugin it was shown like this in Google News:
The first part of my Headline: The second part!
Now it is shown like this:
<span>The first part of my Headline: </span>The second part!
Is there a way to make the plugin ignore the <span>-Tags?
Or the other solution: The plugin writes the TITLEs into the sitemap, instead of the URLs. How can I change the plugin code?
$xmlOutput.= "\t\t\t<n:title>";
$xmlOutput.= htmlspecialchars($row->post_title);
$xmlOutput.= "</n:title>\n";
into output URL?

The present invention relates generally to satellite television broadcasting, and more specifically, to a method for controlling the local channels displayed according to designated market areas for a mobile satellite receiving unit.
Satellite television has become increasingly popular due to its wide variety of programming. Entertainment in automobiles such as DVD players has also become increasingly popular. It would be desirable to provide a satellite television system for a vehicle so that the wide variety of programming may be enjoyed by the rear passengers.
Federal regulations have specific boundaries that set forth where satellite systems rebroadcasted local channels are allowed to be displayed. A satellite system located within one boundary may only display video for all channels associated with that region. Current satellite systems do not include a means for determining a location. The determination of regions is complex. Some overlap, some do not intersect, some are direct adjacent.
It would therefore be desirable to provide a system that allows a mobile satellite system to comply with federal regulations for rebroadcasting local channels.
The present invention provides a method of operating a satellite television broadcasting system that takes into consideration the location of the mobile receiving device in the tuning of the device.
In one aspect of the invention, a method of operating a mobile device includes determining a location of the mobile device, determining a local television market area for the mobile device, broadcasting a first local television signal for a first network in a first market, and a second local television signal for the first network in a second market, and selecting one of the first local television signal and the second local television signal in response to the location.
In a further aspect of the invention, a method of operating a mobile device comprises determining a local television market, determining a local channel is present but not carried by the satellite, and when a local satellite channel does not exist in the local television market but a local channel is present blocking a network feed on the mobile device.
In yet another aspect of the invention, a method of operating a mobile device includes defining a first area corresponding to a first local market and a second area corresponding to a second local market and an overlapping area of the first local market and the second local market. The method further includes moving a mobile device into a first area outside the overlapping area, tuning the device to a first local television signal and moving the device to the overlapping area from the first area.
The method further includes maintaining the tuning of the device to the first local television signal, moving the mobile device from the overlapping area into the second area outside the overlapping area and when the mobile device is in the second area outside the overlapping area, tuning the device to the second local television signal.
The method may take into consideration a global positioning system or other location device such as a cellular tower-based system when locating is performed.
One advantage of the invention is that federal regulations may now be met for mobile satellite television systems. That is, local channels may be coordinated so that they are provided to the system for display in the proper designated marketing area.
Other advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent when viewed in light of the detailed description of the preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the attached drawings and appended claims.
In the following figures the same reference numerals will be used for the same views. The following figures are described with respect to a mobile satellite television system for use in a vehicle. However, those skilled in the art will recognize the teachings of the present invention may be applied to various types of mobile data reception including terrestrial-based type systems used within a vehicle or other mobile device.
Referring now to
The system 10 may also receive location signals from a global positioning system (GPS) 30 that includes a first satellite 32A and a second satellite 32B. Although only two satellites are shown, a typical GPS system includes several satellites, several of which may be in view at any particular time. Triangulation techniques may be used to determine the elevation, latitude and longitude of the system. A locating system may also include cellular towers 34A and 34B that may be used by the mobile receiving system 22 to determine a location. Cellular phones typically include a GPS locating system. As the vehicle 24 moves about, the exact coordinates in latitude and longitude may be used to determine proper local channel broadcast to display.
The present invention may also be used for displaying various wireless information on a personal mobile device 36 such as a laptop computer 38, a personal digital assistant 39, and a cellular telephone 40. It should be noted that these devices and the automotive-based devices may also receive wireless signals having various types of information associated therewith from the cellular towers 34A and 34B. Other types of information may be broadcast from various other types of broadcasting areas such as an antenna 42 on a building 44. The building 44 may be various types of buildings such as a store and the wireless information transmitted from the antenna 42 may be advertising information. All of the wireless signals preferably include location information transmitted therewith. As will be described below, the information may be coded digitally into the signals. Thus, by reviewing the location information, signals appropriate for the location of the mobile devices may be displayed on the various devices. This will be further described below.
Referring now to
The mobile receiving unit 28 is coupled to antenna 26. The mobile receiving unit 28 may also include a location receiver 52 integrated therein. The location receiver 52 may be a GPS receiver. In a preferred embodiment, only one location receiver 50, 52 may be provided in the system. However, the location receiver 50, 52 may be part of the vehicle 24 or may be part of the mobile receiving system 22, 36. The controller 60 may be coupled directly to GPS receiver 52 and/or GPS receiver 50. The mobile receiving unit 28 includes a display 54. The display 54 may be incorporated into the device 36 or within the vehicle 24.
A controller 60 that is microprocessor-based may be used to control the various functions of the receiving unit 28. Such functions include acting as a tuner, receiver, decoder, buffer and other functions. The controller may be similar to that found in current DirecTV set top boxes which employ a chip-based multifunctional controller. The controller 60 may include or be coupled to a memory 62. Memory 62 may be used to store the boundaries of a designated marketing area (DMA). A designated marketing area is a fixed geographic or cartographic area bounded by a closed shape such as a polygon, circle, curved or straight line segments, or the like. The fixed area or closed shape has outer boundaries that do not move on the surface of the earth. As will be shown below, areas may be excluded (island-like) within a closed shape. Although the areas are fixed, they may be, from time to time, redetermined. A key feature is that as the vehicle or mobile device moves, the DMA remains fixed and thus the device may enter into another DMA. Designated marketing area boundaries may be defined by Nielsen and may be pre-programmed into the memory 62 as a number of polygons wherein each point of each side is defined in cartographic coordinates of longitude and latitude and fractions of degrees.
The GPS receiver 52 is capable of providing latitude and longitude to the controller 60. The controller 60 may be used to compare the location signals from the GPS receiver 50, 52 to the boundaries of the designated marketing areas to determine which designated marketing area the mobile device is within and which area it is not within, which signals the system should be receiving. These signals may coincide with or coordinate to the local broadcasting signals for the specific designated marketing area. It should be noted that more than one designated marketing area may be provided for a particular area. That is, adjacent areas may also be authorized for viewing. Various fringe regions may be used around a particular designated marketing area to provide hysteresis for the system. This function will be further described below.
The controller 60 may also be coupled to a user interface 64. User interface 64 may be various types of user interfaces such as a keyboard, push buttons, a touch screen, a voice activated interface, or the like. User interface 64 may be used to select a channel, select various information, change the volume, change the display appearance, or other functions. The user interface 64 is illustrated as part of the mobile receiving unit. However, should the unit be incorporated into a vehicle, the user interface 64 may be located external to the mobile receiving unit such as dial buttons, voice activated system, or the like incorporated into the vehicle and interface with the mobile receiving unit.
An access card 66 may also be incorporated into the mobile receiving unit. Access cards such as a conditional access module (CAM) cards are typically found in DirecTV units. The access card 66 may provide conditional access to various channels and wireless signals generated by the system. Not having an access card or not having an up-to-date access card 66 may prevent the user from receiving or displaying various wireless content from the system.
Referring now to
The mobile receiving unit 28 may include an antenna interface 76 that is used to communicate with the antenna. The antenna interface 76 formats the signals from the mobile receiving unit. For example, various signal level data such as the channel tuning information may be provided. Data from the user interface 64 and the conditional access card 66 may be used by the channel rendering and authentication logic 80. The channel rendering and authentication logic 80 may authorize the particular user based upon the conditional access card. Information entered from the user interface such as a password may also be used in the authentication logic. Various methods for authentication are well known in the art. The channel rendering portion of the channel rendering and authentication logic 80 receives information from the user interface 64 as to which wireless signals the user would like to receive. The channel rendering and authentication logic 80 generates signals that are provided to the channel tuning logic 82. The channel tuning logic 82 provides channel tuning information based upon the channel rendering information. The channel tuning logic 82 may include a receiver and a decoder used for receiving and decoding the appropriate channels. The channel tuning logic 82 may provide information to the antenna interface 76 such as the direction of the signal or satellite that contains the particular channel that is desired. This information may be used by the pointing algorithm 70 to rotate the antenna in the appropriate direction.
The controller 60 may also include region logic 86. The region logic 86 may provide information to the channel rendering logic as to the particular region that the antenna or the mobile receiving unit is located. The region logic 86 may be coupled to the GPS data interface 88. The GPS data interface 88 provides GPS information to the region logic so that appropriate signals may be received or displayed.
One use of the region logic 86 is that based upon the GPS signals, the location of the receiving unit may be selected. The region logic 86 may then look up in a geographic polygon or location database 90 which designated marketing area the receiving device is located. From this information the appropriate local broadcast channels may be selected. The database 90 may consist of polygon information used to define the marketing areas. The database 90 may also include other information such as zip code information or other ranges of data used for comparison with the signals. As will be evident to those skilled in the art, the wireless signals may be received with various location data used to identify the location appropriate for the signal to be displayed in. For example, the data may include information such as from which local broadcast market the signal originates (e.g., the Washington, D.C. area). The signals may indicate another local broadcast market (e.g., the Baltimore area). When the vehicle or mobile device is in the proper location, the proper signal may be displayed on the mobile device.
The location information may be provided in various portions of the signal. If the signal is an all digital signal the location information may be provided in a preamble of the information packet. If the signal is an analog signal the location data may be included in a vertical blanking interval of an analog television signal or as unused bandwidth of a digital television signal. In a purely analog signal, the location data may be superimposed digitally on the analog signal.

Referring back to steps 110 and 112, if there are no non-excluded market areas in step 110 or there are not any local channels of the same major network in step 112, step 116 is executed. In step 116, it is determined whether or not the audio and video are blanked or blocked in the receiving device. If they are being currently blocked in the receiving device, step 100 is executed. If the audio and video are not blanked or blocked in step 116, step 118 blanks or blocks the audio and video on the receiving device so that the channel video may not be displayed and the audio may not be heard.
Referring back to step 106, if a national broadcast is not being displayed, step 126 is performed. In step 126, it is determined whether a local television market area channel is currently being displayed. If the current local television market area channel is being displayed, step 128 is performed. In step 128, if the receiving device is not outside of the local television market area of its currently displayed channel, step 100 is again performed. In step 128, if the IRD is outside of the local television market area of its currently displayed channel, step 130 is executed. Also, referring back to step 126, if the receiving device is currently not displaying a local television market area channel in step 126, step 132 is performed. Step 132 implies that the IRD is currently blacked out and is not showing any audio and video. After step 132, step 130 is performed. In step 130, it is determined whether the IRD is currently within any local television market area. If the receiving device is not within any local television market area, step 136 is performed in which the national broadcast of the same major network is tuned on the receiving device. Referring back to step 130, if the IRD currently is within any local television market area, then step 110 is performed. Thus, as can be seen, the various scenarios set forth in

Referring back to step 204, if the count is not odd step 208 is executed. In step 204, if the count is even, the system is outside the polygon in step 210. If the count is not even or odd in step 218, step 212 is executed in which it is determined whether or not the system is on a boundary. A boundary system is illustrated in

Another way in which to determine the reference point is to determine a radius from a specific point within the marketing area. If a receiving device is within the radius, it is within the local marketing area and thus the local network feeds should be displayed as described above.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, numerous variations and alternate embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only in terms of the appended claims.

By Richard L. Fricklas
For a smooth surface bituminous roof, consider asphalt-aluminum roof coatings or a reflective white coating – ideally, an acrylic coat over an asphalt bleed blocking primer.
Bituminous systems are most often surfaced with a flood coat of bitumen that contains aggregate.
Asphalt emulsion applied with sprayed, chopped glass fibers pairs well with a reflective acrylic- or aluminum-based finish.
View Larger
Roofing systems have a finite life. Depending upon the composition of the roof system, it may be possible to extend roof life with an economically viable option.
There are many combinations that can yield long-lasting roof systems, but the purpose of this article is to dive into the basics of several common systems and available options.
The Right Surfacing for Low Slope Roofing Systems
Bituminous systems consist of asphalt or coal tar pitch as the adhesive and waterproofing and contain reinforcements of organic glass fiber or asbestos fibers. These systems are surfaced with aggregate embedded in a flood coat of bitumen, either hot- or cold-applied.
To prepare for resurfacing, use a high-pressure, low-volume wet vacuum to remove dirt and loose aggregate.
Surfacing options include:
Polymer-modified bituminous systems consist of polyester or glass fiber mats or scrims modified with polymers of atactic polypropylene (APP) or styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). They are frequently surfaced with factory-applied roofing granules.

How about a friend? I don't charge for that.
I don't have a cross. Will the Star of David do?
Love At First Bite: Dr. Rosenberg (played by Richard Benjamin) agrees to meet with Dracula (George Hamilton) at a restaurant where he pulls out the Star of David instead of a cross
Rosenberg: What do you say to (pulls out the Star) THAT???
Count Dracula: (throws up his arm in horror, then puts his arms down) I suggest you leave Cindy alone and find yourself a nice Jewish girl.

Or a threat to her meal-ticket?
It's the loss of her original meal ticket that resulted in her fury against gun owhers. She is no longer able to spend her days sitting on her butt watching soap operas (we have it from her own mouth that that is what she was doing when she first heard the news about her husband) and somebody was going to have to pay for that.
