In his relentless pursuit of perfection on the practice ground, Jonny Wilkinson will line up the most difficult kick and imagine it is a last-minute conversion to win the World Cup.
At this rate he may not have to wait much longer to turn his training routine into the real thing.
England soared above the All Blacks to the top of the official world rankings on Saturday amid a blaze of pyrotechnics never before seen at Twickenham.
More than anything or anyone else, that was brought about by the brilliance of a fly half performance so complete that any of the greats would have been honoured to call it his own. Wilkinson's ferocious tackling and telescopic goalkicking had never been questioned, but here he was in all his running glory, making so many breaks that Ireland were broken beyond repair by half-time.
The one England player who has seen them all during 12 years and 100 caps, from Hugo Porta to Andrew Mehrtens via Michael Lynagh, Rob Andrew and Jonathan Davies, had never witnessed anything better.
Jason Leonard, the first forward and only the third player from any position to reach a century, began so long ago that Wilkinson was still at primary school.
Leonard, not the least bit peeved that his monumental milestone had not been considered worthy of public pronouncement, said: 'That was definitely right up there among the greatest fly half displays I have seen. To see such a great all-round performance was a rare privilege. He was very Jason Robinson- esque and you can't say more than that.'
The observation has a perception not usually associated with props. That Wilkinson should inspire such comparison has nothing to do with any flash in the pan and everything to do with his insatiable desire to take his game to new levels. It was no accident, but then it never is with Wilkinson.
Only someone driven by his discipline and desire could study Robinson's jack-in-the-box style and succeed in borrowing enough of it to give himself an extra dimension as the all-round player. One of the fliest of fly halves, Jonathan Davies, once accused him of lacking pace, but it was only after Robin-son's advent from League that Wilkinson realised what agility really meant.
Wilkinson said: 'Being made to look silly by Jason in training was a major motivation for me. He is a world leader in terms of footwork. He may look at me and think I might be able to kick some goals but I look to him and think, "Jeez, that boy can go. I'd like to be like that."
'When you see someone who is so far ahead, you understand what is achievable and you say to yourself, "Wow, we can all be so much better." Now I'm constantly taking people on in training, working one on one, doing a lot of sprint work. You can practise taking people on one on one. You start to learn how to move people about. I'm slowly getting there.
'Jason is wonderful for the team as well as the sport. I don't think I'll ever be as good as him but I can try.'
Some try! There is nothing new about Wilkinson blitzing the opposition with his left foot, but he took a decent Ireland team to pieces with his Robinson-inspired ability to shoot through the gaps, scoring one try and creating three more, some at the expense of a fragile blindside defence.
As Ronan O'Gara, Ireland's substitute stand off, put it: 'He destroyed us.'
For the first time, Wilkinson's goals were surplus to requirements, not that he missed a shot (seven out of seven), nor a tackle - including a trademark sledgehammer on David Wallace. It was as near to perfection as any fly half can get.
There have been a lot of purple patches in the Five/ Six Nations, most notably three converted tries in five minutes by Wales during their 1976 Grand Slam, but nothing, surely, as purple or as long as England's. Far from flattering them, their six converted tries in 38 minutes, if anything, sold them short. But for Denis Hickie's Herculean efforts as a oneman Irish defence in somehow stopping Ben Cohen, Austin Healey and Mike Tindall, they would have had nine during that period. Of the six they did get, the second was a masterpiece of invention, sweeping over an 80-yard diagonal, initiated by Robinson in his own 22 but requiring the most dexterous of touches from Richard Hill and Joe Worsley for Cohen to score. It said everything about the kaleidoscopic skills of a team for whom nothing is too difficult.
The sheer exhilaration had such a devastating effect on Irish ambitions that, 40 minutes after setting out with high hopes of a win, they had been reduced to avoiding a 50-point beating. They managed it by surviving the last half-hour without further damage, leaving England 'seething' at O'Gara crossing their line.
Official rankings are not to be taken too seriously. The only ones that matter are those determined at World Cups, but Ireland captain Mick Galwey does not dispute England's lofty position. He said: 'You'd have to say they would have the beating of the All Blacks at Twickenham. They'd have the beating of anyone.'
Once upon a time, when England tries were as rare as Wilkinson errors, the sterility of their game inspired the sardonic soubriquet of the White Tornadoes. Now that they are in the process of blowing away all and sundry, the only English regret is that they have to wait until next year for the World Cup.Reuse content

A friend called me this after noon and I asked him what he was doing and he said he was looking at a bear and I went cool were is it and his reply was its dead in the ditch and then I said were you at and he said that he was just a few miles from my house and I thought car had hit it but before that thought really crossed my mind he said POACHERS did it and that it was a big bear. the police said it was shot and droped off in this ditch you could see tire tracks were they backed down and rolled the bear out of the vehicle.All these A$$ hoes did was cut the front paws off of the animal and the dnr said that the paws bring around 1000.00 bucks on the black market.This bear was not here on friday afternoon and my friend saw it at 9:30am monday. I really hope these people ( I really shouldnt call them people) get caught and are prosicuted to the fullest extend of the law. If you her anything please contact dnr or princeton police. My 8 yr old son still cant understand why this happened and I'm not sure that I do either. I took these photos and its not a pretty site.what a waste of a beatifull animal.

The man I totally am, the man that is so not a space beluga, goes by the name of Christopher. I have an undying love for writing and the creation of fantastic stories, many of my inspiration coming from great writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft. I, unlike most of my peers, have a love for English as a language, despite how difficult it can be to understand. I am currently just an aspiring writer who dreams of one day being a writer of the greatest not unlike Tolkien. One day, I hope to have a novel of mine published and popular around the world. For now, I shall start small. I have a fascination with science fiction most notably, and I absolutely love creating interesting, future technologies and even alien races. Fantasy is also one of my likes, though not nearly as much as sci-fi. Although, I do like to cheat sometimes and combine both genres into wondrous union, as if the two were meant to be. But, aside from these aforementioned things, I have no idea what else I should mention. So, I bid any readers adieu and I sincerely hope you like my stories and provide any advice you think would serve as helpful for me. Oh, as a footnote, I also am the head of a secret organization whose headquarters is located in place I am not at liberty to disclose. All I can say is this: I direct the B.I.A, or Beluga Intelligence Agency. A little more recently, I have started a blog under my pen name (Christopher Wolfe) titled "A Wolfe's Take on Life" in which I talk about pretty much anything that strikes my fancy.

The Phantom 2 is an evolution of the Phantom. It features the same compact and highly integrated design, but comes with FPV flying and Aerial Photography support right out of the box. Hardware mountings and software tuning are all carried out prior to delivery, meaning with rotors attached, a charged battery and transmitter batteries available it can fly immediately. Additional features include a higher payload, a built-in intelligent battery, H3-2D gimbal support and other functions.
Key Features:
Functions of the Phantom 2 can be expanded through its Can-bus module, which can be used for IOSD or 2.4 G Bluetooth Datalink.
AV output and video-downlink power cables already installed, ready for upgrade.
Integrated GPS auto-pilot system offers position holding, altitude lock and stable hovering allows attention to be focused on shooting.
High capacity, high performance 5200mAh intelligent Lithium Polymer battery offers up to 25 minutes of flight time, with battery capacity data, overcharge/discharge protection and maintenance reminders for greater reliability.
If the Phantom 2 and its controller disconnect during flight for any reason, the Naza-M autopilot system's failsafe protection will come to the rescue. Outputs of all command sticks on the controller will go to the center position and if the signal is good enough the Phantom 2 will return to home and land automatically. You can also program a One Key Go Home function through the Assistant software.
In traditional multirotor flight, forward is tied to the direction of the nose. Using IOC, it flight is much simpler. In Course Lock mode, forward direction is will always be the direction the nose faced at takeoff, while in Home Lock mode forward takes the Phantom 2 back to where it took off. Users can adjust these settings as they please.
Power consumption has been improved by a custom power management system that monitors power capacity and voltage. Low power is indicated by the LED. If power drops below safe levels, the Phantom 2 will land automatically during low battery level.
Integrated battery compartment allows for near instant battery changes.
Install propellers without worry using self-tightening propellers that only install in the right place. These will also tighten during flight, enhancing safety. All propellers have been carefully and dynamically balanced to eliminate the jello effect.

2nd line: Hall - Nugent-Hopkins - Benn
3rd line: Skinner - Couture - Duchene
4th line: E.Kane - Hodgson - Marchand
No doubt an U25 team would be interesting. You got the players pretty much correct, but too many out of position. Seguin is a Center or RW. Benn is a Center or LW. Switch Duchene to LW and Skinner to RW although both are centers. and Marchand to LW. I'd keep the Hall RNH Ebs line in tack for the sake of continuity and a Benn-Tavaras-Seguin line as my number 1. Now.. who do you have for D-men U25? Petrangelo Doughty Can't include Letang, he'll be 26 in a few months. Justin Schultz? perhaps. I've been impressed with what I've seen of Schultz (granted only a game + highlights)
after that M Del Zotto from the Rangers looks sharp and Jared Cowen from Ottawa (unfortunate injury) looks to be promising. P.K. Subban
But Goalies???

Where I stayed
Sea View Resort
Elenka was having a late afternoon nap. I was sitting in the outdoor common area of the place we're staying when this tall guy approached with a plate of leftover food. I pegged him right away by his accent. Russian, they're all over the place here. "Where is dog?" he said.
"You mean my dog, the one who's over on my porch, drinking my water?"
The Slav set the plate on the table, gave me a dirty look and walked off.
Half-an-hour later the guy came by again
"Rover! What is Rover?"
"The dog! It's his name," I said.
The guy looked at me puzzled and said, "Where you from?"
"Canada," I said, with a gesture of distance. "Way off, very cold. Where are you from?"
"Really! Where in Slovakia?"
The big guy misunderstood my question. "It is in middle Europe. Used to be part of Czechoslovakia."
"Yeah, yeah," I said
"Myjava. It is-"
I heard no more. Suddenly, my knees went week; head started to spin. Here I was, in the middle of the Bay of Bengal, having my second in a row Kookoo's Nest, Daniel and Sara experience. Myjava is a small western Slovak town that most likely no one outside of Slovakia has ever heard of. We've been there though, stayed in its only hotel. Myjava is where Elenka's mother was born. I tried to remain calm, probably mumbled a bit. The big guy thought I was having a seizure.
Suddenly, Elenka opened the door to find out what the ruckus was all about and I passed my seizure-like feeling on to her.
Her and the big guy, Radolslav talked in Slovak for a bit. Then out from their cabina came Alzbeta, Radoslav's wife. Turns out they're both doctors, practicing in Germany. They've given it up for six months or so to see the world. Radoslav started calling his wife Betty, to make it easy for me. But I would have no part of it; Betty isn't Slavic and the name reminded me of the Archie comics. After three days I finally got the pronunciation of Alzbeta sort of right. The 'z' with a little stroke above it produces a sort of a 'sh' sound.
Last week we spent most of our time with the Swedes, Daniel and Sara. This week we're doing the same with Slovaks. In a couple of days we head back to mainland India. I fully expect to meet someone there from my hometown, Tottenham; maybe a neighbour from our street in Toronto; or my grade 1 teacher, Sister Loyola. I thought it was all about the ever wandering cows, but perhaps these kinds of meetings are what people really mean when they say India is spiritual.


text: Over the last 30 years, the European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF) has solidified itself as one of the premier nonprofits for art, antiques, and design, hosting an annual fair in Maastricht, the Netherlands. This year it is expanding beyond the borders of Europe, bringing its fair to New York for the very first time. It'll be housed in the iconic Park Avenue Armory and will begin Friday with the opening reception benefiting the Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Park Avenue Armory's cultural program. More than 90 galleries will be exhibiting at the inaugural fair, and one of the highlights will be a rare early painting by Vincent van Gogh, shown by Dutch art dealer Bob Albricht of Kunstgalerij Albricht. The 1883 work, titled View of the New Church and Old Houses in the Hague, was acquired from a private collector in France last year and has only been displayed to the public a few times throughout its history. October 22–26, Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Ave.; tefaf.com

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/628,799, filed Nov. 16, 2004, entitled "Algorithm to Preserve Specular Highlight for High Dynamic Range Displays."
The present invention relates to backlit displays and, more particularly, to a backlit display with improved performance characteristics.
The local transmittance of a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel or a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display can be varied to modulate the intensity of light passing from a backlit source through an area of the panel to produce a pixel that can be displayed at a variable intensity. Whether light from the source passes through the panel to an viewer or is blocked is determined by the orientations of molecules of liquid crystals in a light valve.
Since liquid crystals do not emit light, a visible display requires an external light source. Small and inexpensive LCD panels often rely on light that is reflected back toward the viewer after passing through the panel. Since the panel is not completely transparent, a substantial part of the light is absorbed during its transits of the panel and images displayed on this type of panel may be difficult to see except under the best lighting conditions. On the other hand, LCD panels used for computer displays and video screens are typically backlit with fluorescent tubes or arrays of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are built into the sides or back of the panel. To provide a display with a more uniform light level, light from these points or line sources is typically dispersed in a diffuser panel before impinging on the light valve that controls transmission to a viewer.
The transmittance of the light valve is controlled by a layer of liquid crystals interposed between a pair of polarizers. Light from the source impinging on the first polarizer comprises electromagnetic waves vibrating in a plurality of planes. Only that portion of the light vibrating in the plane of the optical axis of a polarizer can pass through the polarizer. In an LCD the optical axes of the first and second polarizers are arranged at an angle so that light passing through the first polarizer would normally be blocked from passing through the second polarizer in the series. However, a layer of translucent liquid crystals occupies a cell gap separating the two polarizers. The physical orientation of the molecules of liquid crystal can be controlled and the plane of vibration of light transiting the columns of molecules spanning the layer can be rotated to either align or not align with the optical axes of the polarizers. It is to be understood that normally white may likewise be used.
The surfaces of the first and second polarizers forming the walls of the cell gap are grooved so that the molecules of liquid crystal immediately adjacent to the cell gap walls will align with the grooves and, thereby, be aligned with the optical axis of the respective polarizer. Molecular forces cause adjacent liquid crystal molecules to attempt to align with their neighbors with the result that the orientation of the molecules in the column spanning the cell gap twist over the length of the column. Likewise, the plane of vibration of light transiting the column of molecules will be "twisted" from the optical axis of the first polarizer to that of the second polarizer. With the liquid crystals in this orientation, light from the source can pass through the series polarizers of the translucent panel assembly to produce a lighted area of the display surface when viewed from the front of the panel. It is to be understood that the grooves may be omitted in some configurations.
To darken a pixel and create an image, a voltage, typically controlled by a thin film transistor, is applied to an electrode in an array of electrodes deposited on one wall of the cell gap. The liquid crystal molecules adjacent to the electrode are attracted by the field created by the voltage and rotate to align with the field. As the molecules of liquid crystal are rotated by the electric field, the column of crystals is "untwisted,'and the optical axes of the crystals adjacent the cell wall are rotated out of alignment with the optical axis of the corresponding polarizer progressively reducing the local transmittance of the light valve and the intensity of the corresponding display pixel. Color LCD displays are created by varying the intensity of transmitted light for each of a plurality of primary color elements (typically, red, green, and blue) that make up a display pixel.
LCDs can produce bright, high resolution, color images and are thinner, lighter, and draw less power than cathode ray tubes (CRTs). As a result, LCD usage is pervasive for the displays of portable computers, digital clocks and watches, appliances, audio and video equipment, and other electronic devices. On the other hand, the use of LCDs in certain "high end markets, such as video and graphic arts, is frustrated, in part, by the limited performance of the display.
The liquid crystal display tends to have a limited dynamic range due to the extinction ratio of polarizers and imperfections due to the nature of liquid crystal material. In order to effectively display increasingly high dynamic images, a low resolution light emitting diode backlight may used to modulate the light that is provided to a higher resolution liquid crystal material. By the combination of the LED together with the LCD, a high dynamic range display can be achieved. Due to the lower resolution LED compared to the higher resolution of the LCD, the display has limits on its ability to display a high dynamic pattern of high spatial resolution. The display in many cases can simultaneously present an image that is both very bright (>2000 cd/m2) and very dark (<0.5 cd/m2). The human eye has limited dynamic range in a local area, and with visual masking, the eye can hardly perceive the limited dynamic range of high spatial frequency content.
What is desired, therefore, is a liquid crystal display having improved spatial highlights.
Referring to
Light radiating from the light sources 30 of the backlight 22 comprises electromagnetic waves vibrating in random planes. Only those light waves vibrating in the plane of a polarizer's optical axis can pass through the polarizer. The light valve 26 includes a first polarizer 32 and a second polarizer 34 having optical axes arrayed at an angle so that normally light cannot pass through the series of polarizers. Images are displayable with an LCD because local regions of a liquid crystal layer 36 interposed between the first 32 and second 34 polarizer can be electrically controlled to alter the alignment of the plane of vibration of light relative of the optical axis of a polarizer and, thereby, modulate the transmittance of local regions of the panel corresponding to individual pixels 36 in an array of display pixels.
The layer of liquid crystal molecules 36 occupies a cell gap having walls formed by surfaces of the first 32 and second 34 polarizers. The walls of the cell gap are rubbed to create microscopic grooves aligned with the optical axis of the corresponding polarizer. The grooves cause the layer of liquid crystal molecules adjacent to the walls of the cell gap to align with the optical axis of the associated polarizer. As a result of molecular forces, each succeeding molecule in the column of molecules spanning the cell gap will attempt to align with its neighbors. The result is a layer of liquid crystals comprising innumerable twisted columns of liquid crystal molecules that bridge the cell gap. As light 40 originating at a light source element 42 and passing through the first polarizer 32 passes through each translucent molecule of a column of liquid crystals, its plane of vibration is "twisted" so that when the light reaches the far side of the cell gap its plane of vibration will be aligned with the optical axis of the second polarizer 34. The light 44 vibrating in the plane of the optical axis of the second polarizer 34 can pass through the second polarizer to produce a lighted pixel 28 at the front surface of the display 28.
To darken the pixel 28, a voltage is applied to a spatially corresponding electrode of a rectangular array of transparent electrodes deposited on a wall of the cell gap. The resulting electric field causes molecules of the liquid crystal adjacent to the electrode to rotate toward alignment with the field. The effect is to "untwist" the column of molecules so that the plane of vibration of the light is progressively rotated away from the optical axis of the polarizer as the field strength increases and the local transmittance of the light valve 26 is reduced. As the transmittance of the light valve 26 is reduced, the pixel 28 progressively darkens until the maximum extinction of light 40 from the light source 42 is obtained. Color LCD displays are created by varying the intensity of transmitted light for each of a plurality of primary color elements (typically, red, green, and blue) elements making up a display pixel. Other arrangements of structures may likewise be used.
After observing limitations in existing devices, it was determined that many high dynamic range ("HDR") images contain specular highlights that are extremely bright but are very small in spatial extent. It was further determined that one principal cause of images lacking fine spatial highlights is the aggressive low pass filtering process that smears this specular highlight causing the corresponding LED to have a lower value. Although any spatial details lost in the filtering step may be theoretically recovered in the LCD image via the division operation, the actual LCD cannot recover bright specular highlights due to its limited range (its transmittance can not exceed 1). Thus, a portion of the specular highlights are not present in the final display image although the HDR is otherwise capable of displaying that bright highlight.
In the backlit display 20 the backlight 22 comprises an array of locally controllable light sources 30. The individual light sources 30 of the backlight may be light-emitting diodes (LEDs), an arrangement of phosphors and lensets, or other suitable light-emitting devices. In addition, the backlight may include a set of independently controllable light sources, such as one or more cold cathode ray tubes. The light-emitting diodes may be 'white' and/or separate colored light emitting diodes. The individual light sources 30 of the backlight array 22 are independently controllable to output light at a luminance level independent of the luminance level of light output by the other light sources so that a light source can be modulated in response to any suitable signal. Similarly, a film or material may be overlaid on the backlight to achieve the spatial and/or temporal light modulation. Referring to
bl(x, y)=LED(i, j)*psf(x, y)
where LED(ij) is the LED output level of each LED, and psf(x,y) is the point spread function of the diffusion layer, and * denotes a convolution operation. The backlight image is further modulated by the LCD.
The displayed image is the product of LED backlight and transmittance of LCD: TLCD(x,y).
img(x, y)=bl(x, y)T LCD(x, y)=(LED(i, j)*psf(x, y))T LCD(x, y)
By combining the LED and LCD, the dynamic range of the display may be represented as the product of the dynamic range of LED and LCD.
Since the LED has a low spatial resolution, it may represent a local constant valve (or DC term); while the LCD may represent the spatial detail (AC term). It is preferred that the LCD is used with a generally maximum effective working modulation range: both up (brighter) and down (darker). So the preferred LCD value should be around the half point of the dynamic range (e.g., 0.5 (or 0.4 to 0.6) for the range from 0 to 1, or between 0.25 and 0.75 for the range from 0 to 1). This selection of the LCD value leaves the LED value to be twice (or otherwise) of the HDR image.
A desirable LED backlight is derived from the HDR image. The HDR image is low pass filtered 210 by the point spread function of the diffusion screen (which is between the LED and the LCD in many configurations) and sub-sampled (down sampled) to the LED resolution of M�N. The same HDR image 208 is also lowpass filtered 214 by a small filter kernel, such as 5�5, to simulate the size of the anticipated specular pattern. The result is then separated into M�N blocks 216, each block corresponding to one LED with some overlap of the pixels between each block. The block size may be (1+k)*(m/M�n/N), where k is the overlapping factor. k=0.5 is used in the preferred embodiment. Accordingly, the blocks may form a series of overlapping regions, where a portion of a pair of adjacent regions are shared. For each block, the block maximum or substantial maximum may be used to form a LEDmax image (M�N).
The local region maximum may likewise be another value that is substantially a maximum value of the local region. One way to characterize the selection of a substantial maximum is using an image that has a substantially uniform (or uniform) distribution of intensity values across the image where the variability in the luminance has one standard deviation. The selected substantial maximum for each region (such as 5�5 or 10�10) is preferably selected as being within 0.5 or 0.25 of a standard deviation. This substantial maximum is preferably selected for a majority, more preferably 75% or more, and more preferably all of the regions of the display.
From these two LED images, the system selects the larger of 2*LED1p and LEDmax, i.e.
LED1=min(max(LED1p*2,LEDmax), 1)
The min operation 220 is used to constrain the LED value from 0 to 1. This approach takes into account the local maximum thus preserving the specular highlight (LEDmax). This approach also takes into account the non-specular highlight area where the system sets the LED1 to be twice that of the LED1p to ensure substantially maximum LCD operating range. This accommodates areas with both high dynamic range and high spatial frequency. The use of a system with two separate tests, of the type described or otherwise, permits different display characteristics to be accommodated. Alternatively, a system with the substantial maximum test may be used.
The LED1 is of size M�N and range from 0 to 1. Since the PSF of diffusion screen is larger than the LED spacing to provide a more uniform backlight image, there may be considerable crosstalk between the LED elements that are located close together. Also, the block size M�N is greater than the LED spacing.
Because of the PSF of the diffusion screen, each LED has contribution from its neighboring LEDs. If this crosstalk is not modified, the LED backlight image could be sufficiently high that it will limit the LCD dynamic range. The modified LED value can be derived from a matrix inversion of an MN�MN array of crosstalk coefficients, where MN is the total number of LEDs in the backlights. Each coefficient (cij) represents the crosstalk of ith LED to jth LED. The computation of MN�MN matrix inversion tends to be computationally intensive for large MN, thus the correction may be approximated with a convolution operation. To reduce the computation, the system may consider the LEDs that are close by as shown in
where c0, c1 and c2 are coefficients of correction. These coefficients are chosen to best approximate the matrix inversion data. In the preferred embodiment, c0=3.4, c1=−0.4, and c2=−0.2. These values will change with the arrangement of the LEDs as well as the PSF of LED.
The LED value at 222 (see
where * denotes the convolution operation. Since the LED output is non-linear with respect to the driving value and it driving value is integer, inverse gamma correction and quantization may be performed to determine the LED driving value.
Referring to
T LCD(x, y)=img(x, y)/bl(x, y)
Inverse gamma correction 262 is performed, as in
In some cases, the luminance may be computed based upon a traditional computation of L=0.3*Red+0.6*Green+0.1*Blue. This luminance computation is then used to compute the suitable signal fro the light emitting diode. While suitable for many situations, it turns out that if the high dynamic range image is primarily blue for a particular region, the luminance for the diode of that region is very small due to the lower weighting provided in the luminance calculation. In particular, in order to produce a pure maximum blue output, the white light emitting diode should operate at its maximum. With a diode having a broad spectrum, such as a white light emitting diode, the luminance computation should enhance the ability to represent a blue spectrum. One suitable technique would use L=max (R,G,B). Another suitable technique includes a transformation where Blue is greater than 15% of the luminance, and more preferable greater than 25% of the luminance. Yet another technique involves selectively increasing the luminance contribution for the blue channel based upon the image content.

Right Before my Eyes
After dropping off the file to Assistant DA Williams, a crusty old veteran who had spent a lifetime of picking up paychecks for doing what was expected of him, I returned to the Old 23rd. A sudden attack of paranoia got me to thinking that I ought to find a more secure place for my file on Miss Yellow Roses. If Galloway was so intent on me keeping him up-to-date, what would keep him from getting little nosy around my desk? Who's going to question the Captain?
I puttered around the office for awhile, not doing much of anything except looking as meaningfully busy as I could. I gathered this and jotted down that, doing that casual act of convincing everyone that nothing all that significant was going on. Once everything was packed, I called my blue-eyed Mary to finalize the arrangements with her staying at Shirley's. Mary sounded reluctant to come back, but I sense she trusted my assurance that Flanagan would leave her be.
The next issue was where to stash this material. My place at the Mallory Arms was almost an open door and I didn't want Scarborough's family to be put at risk. So I decided to trust Big Shirley's wall safe.
"Hey, O'Toole. I'm taking early lunch. Then I've got some leads to follow up on. I'll call in."
Without looking up, the old Sarge gave me his standard sermon, "MacKenzie, get a radio like the rest of the guys. Jeez."
When I got to the diner, I couldn't resist entering with the words, "Hey, Shirley's Mom." The old girl and I were beginning to loosen up with each other.
"Good morning, Mr. MacKenzie. It's Blanche, my name is Blanche."
"Well, okay, Blanche. Where's that lovely daughter of yours?"
"I think she's in the ladies room. She'll be out soon. Lunch?"
I motioned thatI wanted to sit in one of the booths, the last one in the line, back by the fire exit. It was the closest thing to privacy you could hope to find in this glorified bus.
I set the file on the seat beside me and gave a quick glance over the plastic menu. "Blanche. I'll have a Seven-Up and a BLT."
She called back as if she were an old pro at this waitressing thing, "One BLT coming up."
I began pulling out of the file the odds and ends I had gahered, that Brown & Keller business card, that order slip from the florist, the Dear Benji note, that bundle of letters from the Senator, the JEB note from Mick Flanagan's body, photographs, my notes, and then ... "Oh, my God. It's been right before my eyes.'

In java downcasting is when you have an object and want to recast the object to an extended class of the original.
If you Goolge how to do this you will see over and over again that this cannot be done. People still want look to do it. So there must be a valid reason to want to do such a thing. And there is. And there is lots of applications where this is the wrong solution.
One example where you would want to downcast is to store information received from a third party application and add additional metadata to the object before storing the results in a NoSQL database. You don't have control over the API. Since java doesn't directly support down casting in this manor you have copy the data. If there is only a field or two it is not to bad. But if the data is complex then it difficult. Fortunately there is java reflection.
The following is a simple example where we want to keep track of the purchase and sale cost so that we know how much profit was made.
import java.lang.reflect.Field; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { CarSupplier carSupplier = new CarSupplier(); Car car = carSupplier.getNewCar(); MyCar myCar = new MyCar(car); } } class MyCar extends Car { double purchaseprice = 0; double salesprice = 0; MyCar(Car car) { // get the fields // and get the inhereted fields Field[] fields = car.getClass().getDeclaredFields(); Field[] declaredFields = getClass().getSuperclass().getDeclaredFields(); // loop through each one and copy it // writen in verbose form for to make it easier to understand for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) { try { fields[i].setAccessible(true); Object value = fields[i].get(car); Field field = declaredFields[i]; field.setAccessible(true); field.set((this), value); } catch (IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException ex) { Logger.getLogger(ExtendedRFO.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } } } public double getPurchaseprice() { return purchaseprice; } public void setPurchaseprice(double purchaseprice) { this.purchaseprice = purchaseprice; } public double getSalesprice() { return salesprice; } public void setSalesprice(double salesprice) { this.salesprice = salesprice; } public double getprofit() { return salesprice - purchaseprice; } }

text: Every 15 minutes, someone in this country dies in an alcohol related car accident. The students at Mattanawcook Academy in Lincoln got a very visual reminder of that Wednesday.Every 15 minutes a student at Mattanawcook Academy was pulled from their classroom. An obituary was read. "Alexa we will miss your beautiful smile and nothing will ever fill the void." Each one symbolized a victim of an alcohol related crash. For the rest of the day, they walked the halls as the living dead. Their parents were notified by law enforcement officials at home. "My mom, we're really really close, and I know she'll take it hard." Their classmates were left behind to contemplate the harsh reality. "It's showing us what goes on. The reality of what goes on, the reality of drinking and driving." "I hope it opens everybody's eyes to it all."That's what organizers hope, as we approach prom and graduation season, that this will help kids make smarter decisions. Principal Henry Pietras says, "I think the more realistic this looks like and feels like, I think the more impact it's gonna have."Lincoln Police Chief, Bill Flagg adds: "Will we ever stop students from drinking? I wish we could but, no. But to educate them about making the right decision, if it's gonna happen, they can't get behind the wheel."Then the students got to see exactly what can happen if you get behind the wheel, when you're drunk. A simulated car crash was set up outside the school. Students could only watch as emergency crews cut through the wreckage to get to their classmates. The lifeflight helicopter flew in to take away one of the most injured, but two did not survive this crash. Their parents were asked to come identify the bodies. A visual reminder that some victims of drunk driving crashes, do survive. "This was a lot harder, even though it's fake, it's a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be." Roger Coolong identified his daughter as part of the scenario.Kim Pelkey, who identified her son, agrees. "Everybody kept saying are you OK with this, and I'm like yeah, it's a staged event, it should be OK. But when the officer knocked on the door to come here, it's a lot more real."Sending home a hard lesson, and hoping this scenario never does become reality.The students who were pulled from their classroom as the living dead, were taken to a retreat Wednesday night. They won't be reunited with their parents until a funeral Thursday morning at the school.

Acceptable no-edit orders[edit]
Letting the consensus be known[edit]
If a consensus has already been formed regarding a topic, and a single editor has constantly stubbornly defied the ruling, politely discussing this one-on-one on the user's talk page is acceptable. In these cases, there is no need to publicly tell others not to engage in such editing, since others are not affected.
If such a consensus has been formed, yet a minority of multiple editors are making edits against the consensus, or a single editor using a dynamic IP address continues to make such edits, displaying a public message may be necessary.
Discouraging violations[edit]
If a large number of editors are engaging in edits that clearly violate Wikipedia policy, or that otherwise do not conform with Wikipedia's mission, a public message may be necessary. This is common when dealing with current events that many may be eager to add, or talk pages of subjects viewed negatively by many, since it is not uncommon for people to post their criticism of the subject in these places.
If new unreferenced additions are common on a particular page or section, it may be necessary to place a reminder in hidden text that all new additions must be referenced.
If additions are commonly made to a page that actually belong somewhere else, hidden text may be used to point editors to that location.
If an edit war is in progress and consensus is unclear, forming a discussion, whether between two users or an entire group is strongly encouraged. Any discussions aimed at coming to a peaceful resolution or some other compromise are highly praised.
Temporary construction[edit]
The {{inuse}} tag may be temporarily placed on top of a page so that others do not interfere with one's planned editing. But its use must be extremely temporary. As a general guideline, if this tag is placed, and the editor who placed it there ends his/her computer session, the tag should be replaced with {{construction}} if s/he plans to continue editing it in the future, and remove it altogether if s/he has no definitive plans.
Unacceptable no-edit orders[edit]
No editor may unilaterally take charge over an article or part of an article by sending no-edit orders. Articles are not owned. Therefore, a single editor may not create his/her own policies
"Stay out"[edit]
All editors have equal rights to edit all articles, templates, project pages, and all other parts of Wikipedia if not blocked by level of protection. Being an "expert" versus knowing little or nothing about a topic does not grant anyone any more or less rights in editing. Even those who are seemingly unfamiliar with a topic may be able to contribute useful information, while experts may at times provide inaccurate facts.
"Do not delete"[edit]
One who fears for the deletion of an article may feel they are protecting it by leaving behind instructions not to propose for deletion. But under no circumstances does this make a page immune.
If a page has previously survived a deletion proposal, information about this can be posted on the discussion page, and hidden text may be placed at the time to indicate this.
