Sitting in a cosy corner of the Palace of Westminster's Pugin tearoom overlooking the Thames, Diane Abbott, MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington for 25 years, and for the last three years Ed Miliband's shadow public health minister, is in reflective mood.
"This place isn't my club. It isn't my club, if you know what I mean," she says. Last Tuesday, in a long anticipated reshuffle, Abbott was sacked from her frontbench brief working alongside Andy Burnham in his health team. It had been her first foray into the executive end of politics and she had loved it. "I found a little niche and my feeling was that as long as Andy was happy I was happy."
Sadly for Abbott, one of parliament's most quotable and unguarded of members, her leader, or at least those around him, was not convinced it was a match made in media management heaven. "My office got a call on Tuesday morning quite early saying Ed wants to see me at 12 o'clock," Abbott says. "So I am thinking, 'Oh my God what is that? I wonder if I am going to get sacked, are they going to try and move me?' So, I went along."
Abbott pauses to mimic Miliband's thoughtful, cautious dispatch of her fledgling career among the officer class. " 'Ehm, I want you to come off the frontbench … I think it is the best thing for yoooou, because you will be able to say what you like … and I think it will be the best thing for meeee because I need some message discipline coming up to the general election.' So I said, 'OK'.
"He goes on about how I'd done well in the brief, got a lot of respect for me, blahdy, blahdy, blahdy blah. Then he says, 'Do you think I am right?' " Abbott mocks astonishment. "Why is he asking me if I think he is right or not?" she giggles. "I said, 'You're the leader. It's your reshuffle', you know what I mean?"
A personable and warm figure, who much of the public will know best from her TV sofa friendship with the former Thatcherite minister Michael Portillo on BBC1's This Week, Abbott shrugs off suggestions that she feels bruised. It is a disappointment, she will admit, but perhaps no more than that. "People are treating me as if I've had a bereavement," she says incredulously. And she doesn't entirely blame Miliband either. But there are certainly others in Abbott's cross hairs. She thinks that a row over welfare with Liam Byrne, then shadow work and pensions secretary, in the members' lobby may have been the final nail in her coffin. A young woman won a legal case in February that would stop the Department for Work and Pensions from taking away her benefits if she refused to work at Poundland. Labour agreed to vote with the government to change the law retrospectively so that millions of pounds of benefits would not need to be reimbursed.
"So, I am on the frontbench, I voted with my colleagues, but as I came through the members' lobby I said to Liam, 'Please explain to me what I say to my constituents about this.' And he didn't like it. I think because he is a very grand Blairite and doesn't like being spoken back to.
"Liam Byrne complained about me to Rosie Winterton [the chief whip] and she tried to call me in for an informal warning. I said, 'no'."
Abbott adds ruefully: "The thing about reshuffles is that at a certain level it is all the leader – but as you go down the ranks it is also the whips' office, so people are saying that this is Rosie Winterton's reshuffle."
There were plenty of other nails in her coffin, Abbott concedes. Her critics in the party say she upset Miliband's office with outspoken comments backing the union Unite over the Falkirk vote-rigging scandal and threatening to vote against her party over Syria if it had supported Barack Obama's plan for military action.
But she believes that more generally her style of politics is out of kilter with Labour in 2013, which would prefer automaton shadow ministers to free-thinking ones. "I used to have a young man working for me, and they would ring up and pour abuse on him. 'She's up there, she's not reading off the script.' Sometimes he would say, 'We haven't seen the script.' They'd say, 'That's no excuse. She's not using the script.' "
What rankles with Abbott is that she believes, whatever her media transgressions may have been, that she has been loyal – and that this has not been matched by the shadow cabinet. Indeed if her analysis of Miliband's leadership is correct, his so-called purge of the Blairites – the demotion of Jim Murphy from defence to international development, Stephen Twigg from education secretary to a junior ministerial brief and the move of Byrne, her nemesis, from work and pensions to a lowly higher education brief – starts to look like revenge.
"In the summer when a lot of people in the shadow cabinet were slagging off Ed Miliband I was scrupulously loyal. I was loyal behind the scenes and you put a camera in front of me and I was loyal," she says.
"There was a concerted bout of briefing against Ed over the summer. There are still people in the shadow cabinet, some of them have been demoted obviously, who are like Japanese soldiers in the jungle still fighting the second world war. They are Blairites who think David Miliband is going to appear over the horizon. He's in America. They don't seem to have heard."
And while Abbott pledges loyalty to Miliband, everything she says suggests also that last week's reshuffle has been too long in the making. "Ed is basically a nice guy. And he is an intellectual. It is kind of a term of abuse nowadays. But he is very interested in ideas. But up until now, he has been something of, well some people say that he is a prisoner of the people around him, particularly the more hardcore Blairites who do not believe in ideas at all."
So what now for Abbott, who became one of Britain's first three black MPs back in 1987. She would welcome a return to the This Week sofa "if they'd have me". But, longer term, she is considering putting herself forward for London mayor.
"I haven't decided anything on the London mayor yet, but honestly I am looking at it. A number of people are looking at it. You know Tessa [Jowell], David Lammy, and they are good people. They'll make great mayors. Ken [Livingstone] always said it was a fantastic job. It gets back to the point of the script. Big cities generally don't want a mayor who just reads from the party script. And London is different from the rest of the country. Londoners want, all Londoners, even those who vote Tory in a national election, want a mayor who will stand up and defend diversity and multiculturalism.
"They want a mayor to stand up on that and I think I can do that. And I am also one of the longest-serving London MPs. And I have served longer than any other candidates that I have named. I have been in parliament longer than Tessa. So I haven't made up my mind. I refuse to declare."

Repeated Warnings About Hazing at Florida A&M
Since November's hazing-related death of a student in Florida A&M University's marching band, university officials have said repeatedly that they never tolerated hazing. But an Associated Press/Tallahassee Democrat project found that university officials received repeated reports -- including numerous detailed letters from parents -- about hazing in the band. One letter said of the letter writer's son: "After one month at FAMU he is broken, indecisive, sad, confused and he wants to come home.... My son will not quit school, you will not break him, I will see to that but FAMU has lost a hell of a young man and after this semester he will not be back. I pray that GOD will give the administration wisdom and courage to stand up against the stupid idiotic practices that go on [at] this FAMU campus."

The Disney Dream PC is appealing as a family PC for the (really) young children or the Disneyphile. But similarly priced value PCs deliver more horsepower.
Multimedia Tests
PC Magazine uses the same tests and the same scale when rating the multimediaMusic, Photos, Video, Gamingon desktops and notebooks. We do this so it is easy to compare consumer notebooks against consumer desktops in addition to comparisons within each category. As a guide: the best desktops will score above a 90 on a given subject, and the best notebooks will score above a 70. The reason for this is even the most advanced notebook will have to give up some capabilities, when compared to a desktop, for portability: notably size and weight compromises that affect hard drive space and screen size, as well as power compromises that affect CPU and graphics performance.

Reed Named to Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Watch List
May 6, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky freshman southpaw and first baseman A.J. Reed has been named one of 20 of the top two-way players in the nation on the annual College Baseball Hall of Fame John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award Watch List, it was announced.
A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Reed is one of 20 players named to the initial watch list for the Olerud Award. A 6-foot-4, 230-pounder, Reed has shined for the Wildcats as a vital left-handed pitcher and as a run-producing presence in the UK lineup.
Reed has hit .297 (49-for-165) in 45 games and 44 starts for UK during the historic Wildcats 2012 season. Reed has slugged nine doubles, three homers and 39 RBI at the plate for UK and pitched in 12 games with four starts, posting a 4-1 record and a 3.52 ERA. Reed has tossed 30.2 innings, allowing 35 hits and 12 earned runs, walking six and striking out 32. Reed has made four midweek starts for UK, owning two quality starts. His RBI total entered the weekend among the SEC's top eight RBI producers.
A 25th round draft pick out of Terre Haute South High School by the New York Mets, Reed came to UK as the 2011 Indiana High School Player of the Year, batting .425 in his career with a 26-10 record and a 1.88 ERA.
Reed is one of five SEC stars to be tabbed to the watch list, joining Auburn's Justin Bryant, Florida's Brian Johnson and Austin Maddox and Tennessee's Drew Steckenrider.
Reed is one of several UK standouts on midseason watch lists, including Trevor Gott and Luke Maile on the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award Watch List. Corey Littrell is on the College Baseball Hall of Fame National Pitcher of the Year Watch List, Gott is on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Watch List and freshman centerfielder Austin Cousino has been named to the 2012 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team.
The award, named for the Washington State star who achieved success as both a first baseman and a right-handed pitcher, will be presented as part of the annual College Baseball Night of Champions on June 30 in Lubbock, Texas. The event features the presentation of numerous awards and the induction ceremony for this year's Hall of Fame class.
"The numbers these players are putting up this season are all the more impressive when you consider they're doing double-duty as both position players and pitchers," said co-chair Randy Norman. "Each of these guys has numbers that live up to the legacy of John Olerud."
Kentucky (37-11, 15-9 SEC) returns to action on Wednesday with a midweek game at Indiana, before hosting Alabama in the final home SEC weekend of the year at Cliff Hagan Stadium.

1:1-18 – Prologue
The first 18 verses of John are a prologue to the Gospel, and are written in a markedly different style of Greek. They are carefully crafted, concise and almost poetic.^[1]^ Scholars are divided over whether this passage was a pre-existing Christian hymn which John adapted or whether it was written by John at the time of writing the Gospel.^[2]^ This passage clearly functions as an introduction to the Gospel and raises many of the major themes of the Gospel.
While Matthew and Luke open their gospels with the birth narrative of Jesus, and Mark begins with the start of Jesus' public ministry, John opens with the start of the universe. The prologue moves from before pre-existence (John 1:1-2), through creation (John 1:3), the history before the incarnation (John 1:4-5), John the Baptist (John 1:6-7) and finally to Jesus' incarnation and the results (John 1:9-18).^[3]^ This vision of salvation history shows the cosmic importance of the Gospel of Jesus.
1:19-51 – From John to Jesus
The rest of the chapter 1 shows a trend away from the ministry of John the Baptist towards Jesus. In John 1:19-28, John is asked if he is the messiah. He replies that he is not, and that he is preparing the way for one who is to come after him (presumably the messiah).
John 1:29-34 describes John baptising Jesus. John calls Jesus "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". This is a reference to Isa 53:7 and to the lamb which is sacrificed on Passover (Jesus was crucified on Passover). This is the first hint that Jesus was going to die, and that his death would be for the forgiveness of sins. John then gives his first testimony about Jesus, testifying to what he saw when he baptised him (see Trial and Witness in the Gospel of John). The Holy Spirit descending on Jesus is a very important sign of his kingship and that he is the start of the New Age (see Holy Spirit in the Gospel of John and Eschatology in the Gospel of John). This is also the first time that Jesus is given the messianic title Son of God.
John 1:35-51 continues the trend away from John to Jesus by showing some of John's disciples turning to follow Jesus. When Andrew tells his brother Peter about his encounter with Jesus, he boldly declares "We have found the Messiah" (John 1:41), introducing this major theme (see Messiah in the Gospel of John. Phillip is the first disciple in the Gospel that Jesus directly calls (John 1:43), and he tells Nathaniel. The conversation with Nathaniel is somewhat mysterious, as Jesus reveals supernatural knowledge of Nathaniel. Maybe Jesus t was simply showing the fact that knew where Nathaniel was sitting, or maybe Nathaniel had an extraordinary experience that Jesus was referring to.
Leon Morris suggests:
"It seems probable that Nathanael had had some outstanding experience of communion with God... and that it is this to which Jesus refers. Whatever it was, Nathanael was able to recognize the allusion. It is difficult to explain Jesus' knowledge of the incident on the level of merely human knowledge. Nathanael had never met him before this moment. We are required to understand that Jesus had some knowledge not generally available to the human race (cf.)."^[4]^ Nathaniel's response (John 1:49) is exactly the response called for by the Gospel (John 20:31). Jesus' final statement is an important one for the Gospel; this miraculous knowledge is just the starting point of a ministry of miraculous "signs" pointing to Jesus' identity as the Messiah and the Son of Man who reveals God, culminating in his death and resurrection.

98 STS Bose problem
Had under the seat battery replaced, was able to recall all presets (seating, radio, stations, etc.) simply by using RKE. Only problem remaining: no display light for clock and radio. Radio and speakers work fine. Is there a simple fix for this? Please keep in mind that I'm a girl so all answers are appreciated, and the least technical the better.
9/13 Good morning. Still hoping to hear from you with suggestions. I'm thinking it's a fuse, but since the radio is working, is there a separate fuse for just the clock light? Probably could also be wiring problem. Have the color codes for wires but no mention of separate wire for clock. Where is the wire harness located? If it's a blown bulb how hard is it to change out? Again, any help appreciated. Thanks so much.
So the display isn't showing the clock on radio or the stations? That display isn't fused separately.
Did you have the car jump started? I would consider disconnecting the battery again to see if it would start working. If the display is dead the HU may need replacing.
N*Caddy knows the most about these HU's by far. Hope he see's this post.
Re: 98 STS Bose problem
Thanks so much for answering. No jumpstart, but prior to new battery had it on overnight charge. Didn't help, AAA installed new battery and left before I realized there was no clock/radio display. I will disconnect/reconnect in the morning and see if it helps. I bought this car new and it's so sweet and still in near perfect condition that I want to keep it on the road as long as possible. Will post again tomorrow to let you know the progress. Thanks again.

How to Eat Healthy When Eating Out!
Sometimes we have no choice but to eat unhealthy food' especially when eating out. You're out with friends or family and the food choices are just bad! If you're at a burger joint or at a nice restaurant, it's almost impossible to stick with a boring salad—it might be healthy, but it can also be boring!
Luckily, I've figured out tons of ways to get a healthy meal, without skimping on taste. I'll have a veggie burger and skip the fries, or a slice of vegetarian pizza. By just watching your portions and picking a healthy alternative, you won't regret your food choice! Skip the soda and ask for some water with lemon! Instead of ice cream opt for some frozen yogurt (I'm a huge fan of yummy Pinkberry!). Want a giant bowl of pasta? Eat half and take the rest home! Also, plenty of restaurants these days serve whole wheat pasta, which is way better for you. You can be healthy and maintain your food goals anywhere by keeping it healthy and portioned!
Do you have any tips for eating out? Share them below!

Moore walks away from football, enrolls at Royal
Former Westlake QB led program to first state bowl appearance
This transfer sent shockwaves through the Marmonte League.
Decorated junior quarterback Justin Moore has decided to stop playing football. The two-time CIF-Southern Section Northern Division champion signal-caller for Westlake High has transferred to Royal High in his hometown of Simi Valley.
"This is not a random, emotional decision," Moore told the Daily News. "It's something I've thought about for a while. It's for personal reasons, and I'd rather keep it out of the news.
"I'm very content with my decision. It's something that's appropriate and something that's best for me. But I will always miss playing the sport because I love it so much."
Moore helped the Warriors win section titles in 2009 and 2011. As a freshman, he came off the bench to replace an injured Nick Isham in the section championship game and led Westlake to a win over Moorpark.
This past season, Moore quarterbacked the Warriors to a 14-1 record and the first state bowl appearance in school history, a loss against De La Salle in December.
Moore, who also plays defensive back, was a revelation in his first season as the full-time starter at quarterback. This fall, he completed 172-of-272 passes for 2,483 yards with 27 touchdowns and six interceptions. He rushed for 1,099 yards and 13 scores.
According to multiple sources, Moore had a scholarship offer from Southern Methodist University and interest from Pac-12 schools USC, UCLA, Oregon and California.
"He's made a decision not to play, that it wasn't in his path, and I support him," Westlake head coach Jim Benkert told the Los Angeles Times.
Junior Neil Uskali and sophomore Tommy Gonzalez both took limited snaps behind center this season for Westlake.
Kevin Flye, Royal's football head coach, said he's told his players to give Moore space—but his office door is always open if Moore has a change of heart.
"I told our players, let him get acclimated," Flye said. "Make him feel welcome. Let him get comfortable. If there's any inquiries, he can talk to me anytime. I'm not going to seek him out. . . .
"As far as I'm concerned, he's a student first. Obviously, if he wanted to play football, I'm sure we could use him. He'd be a welcome addition. He's been through a lot with all the pressure on him. The bottom line is, he needs to be a kid and student first. Whatever the future holds, we'll see how it unfolds."

Study Confirms Fewer Young People Getting Driver's Licenses
(Hover your mouse over the chart for more details)
Young people aren't lining up to drive like they used to. Year over year, fewer 16 to 24 year-olds are getting driver's licenses according to a new study released today by Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle of the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute.
Take 16 year-olds: In 2008, 31 percent of them got driver's licenses. In 2010 it fell to 28 percent. That's part of a steady trend the researchers track back to 1983. That's when Return of the Jedi, Scarface and The Outsiders were in theaters, and 46 percent of 16 year-olds were licensed to drive. Now, with Netflix and iTunes, they don't need wheels to get to the movies.
"I drive less because I have become a couch potato. The Internet takes me anywhere I want to go. And services like Netflix provide entertainment at the touch of a button. It's also a lot more affordable."
The U. Mich study found that the driver's license drop was a bit sharper for older teens: the percentage fell five percent for 18 year-olds from 2008 to 2010. Using Census and Federal Highway Administration data, the researchers identified a general decline in the percentage of people who sign up for a driver's license across almost all age groups, but it was especially pronounced for younger would-be drivers.
Study author Michael Sivak explained to Transportation Nation what he thinks is driving the trend:
"We think that there are three main reasons for the reduced percentage of young persons with a driver's license:
- Electronic communication reduces the need for actual contact (and some young people feel that driving interferes with texting)
- Current economic downturn is making it more difficult for young persons to buy and maintain a vehicle
- Young people are moving in increasing numbers to large cities with reasonable public transportation (e.g., New York and San Francisco)"
See the full study in the Journal of Traffic Injury Prevention.

Citing industry sources, the deal was signed yesterday, July 14, and the decision was prompted by Samsung's earlier arrival at the next frontier – 14nm FinFET chips that will, reportedly, power whatever the iPhone 7 turns out to be. Keeping the salt at an immediate distance, we can definitely see Apple and Samsung putting aside their differences (to put it lightly) for a mutual benefit.
We'll keep a watchful eye and keep you updated should more information leak out.

AAMI Park, Melbourne, Friday 7.40pm (AEDT)
Last meeting: Round 18 2011 - Force 27 bt Rebels 24 at AAMI Park
Head-to-head: Played 2 Rebels 1 Force 1
In Melbourne: Played 1 Rebels 0 Force 1
Referee: Marius Jonker (RSA)
TV: Live, FoxSports 3
Odds: Rebels $1.80 Force $1.95
Greg Growden writes: To say Force officials were furious when the James O'Connor Brand departed Perth last year is the understatement of the year. They were surprised by his demands, and there is still some angst over his exit. So, the Force won't need any special psyche up slapping-sessions before they confront rugby's Justin Beiber.
AAP writes: James O'Connor's messy exit from the Force last year hasn't been forgotten, and the Perth-based franchise are desperate to get one over their former poster boy. Putting a dent in "brand O'Connor" will definitely satisfy the Force, who enter the match full of confidence following last week's shock one-point win over NSW. The winless Rebels were left devastated by their after-the-siren loss to the Cheetahs, and will front up against the Force without key trio Stirling Mortlock, Mitch Inman and Kurtley Beale. The return of five-eighth Danny Cipriani to the starting line-up adds some relief, with O'Connor named to play at inside centre.
MELBOURNE REBELS: Richard Kingi, Mark Gerrard, Lachlan Mitchell, James O'Connor, Cooper Vuna, Danny Cipriani, Nick Phipps, Gareth Delve (capt), Tom Chamberlain, Jarrod Saffy, Hugh Pyle, Luke Jones, Laurie Weeks, Adam Freier, Nic Henderson. Reserves: Ged Robinson, Rodney Blake, Alister Campbell, Tim Davidson, Michael Lipman, Lloyd Johansson, Julian Huxley.
WESTERN FORCE: David Harvey, Nick Cummins, Will Tupou, Rory Sidey, Alfie Mafi, James Stannard, Brett Sheehan, Matt Hodgson, David Pocock (capt), Angus Cottrell, Nathan Sharpe, Sam Wykes, Salesi Maafu, Nathan Charles, Kieran Longbottom. Reserves: Ben Whittaker, Pek Cowan, Toby Lynn, Richard Brown, Justin Turner, Winston Stanley, Samu Wara.

so i'm cruising at night with a friend and i stop at a light next to a silver VW. looked like a golf to me so i looked at the driver and he revved. being a retarded teen that i am, i took him on. light goes green and i launch at 5.5k rpm (dropped the clutch ) tires squeal a little and catch. we are dead even for about a second, then he took off. i attempt to shift into second but i got this grinding sound from the tranny (synchros, i assume? and yes, i am sure i had the clutch pushed all the way in also, could it have soemthing to do with me having a short shifter?) and he proceeded to waste me. turned out it was this gt32 or something like that.. awd nice v6 but kinda embarassing really... hoped i could take a VW
before making fun of me for my shifting, please understand that this is my second week of driving stick. ever.

The Phillies will be without their All-Star shortstop for at least two weeks after placing Jimmy Rollins on the 15-day disabled list with a right calf strain.
Rollins hurt himself during pregame drills before the Phillies' home opener on Monday. An MRI exam Tuesday revealed a Grade 1 or rade 2 strain, the club announced. The DL stint is retroactive to April 13.
Said general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. in a statement:
"We believe it to be a mild to moderate strain and we're hopeful it will be a two-to-four week recovery," said Amaro. "As in all of our injuries, precautions will be taken so that Jimmy is 100% when he returns to the field."
The club recalled infielder Wilson Valdez from Class AAA Lehigh Valley (Pa.).
Valdez will be among the players in the mix for playing time at shortstop. Juan Castro, who started for Rollins on Monday, also could be a factor.
The Phillies are better suited to replace Rollins at the top of their lineup, as speedy Shane Victorino is a natural to fill the bill. But while Victorino has a lifetime .345 on-base percentage, he has just a .227 batting average and .291 on-base percentage in 185 career at-bats in the leadoff spot.
FANTASY WINDUP: Philles will be fine without Rollins; fantasy owners, not so much
Philadelphia continues its series with Washington tonight at Citizens Bank Park.

"It's not size of a business that counts in today's business world. What really makes the difference is specialized know-how and the experience born of 25 years of successful activity."
Computer Modules, Inc., today based in San Diego, was founded in 1982 by an engineer who after graduation from University of Waterloo in Canada worked at Central Dynamics Ltd. in Canada, Tektronix in Canada, and Matrox in Canada and the USA. Our original products were Multibus cards and CMI became a leader in a niche until the industry died as the PC took over industrial control. Later in the early 90's CMI focused on high speed data communications cards. We once again evolved to a leadership role with x.25 communications cards until Cisco took over the data com market. We were really wondering where to go next. In 1999 we created a low cost DVB ASI PCI interface card for someone who did not want to pay $5000 for a high end card. The rest of the story is now visible in our product line today...
Engineering for CMI was originally done in Canada by Linear Systems Ltd. We were very closely linked and essentially operated as one. Engineering, Manufacturing and Marketing, sales, support, and integration are done today in San Diego. The core team who developed our current products has been with the companies since the early 80's. Today we have a world class team of hardware and software engineers who have learned to overcome issues with "buggy" Chips, PCI interfaces, FPGA's, Surface Mount manufacturing and even Windows 95/98/2000/XP/Vista drivers. Because of this experience CMI/Linear has a thorough understanding of digital TV technology.
Our first "broadcast" product was the MPEG Shuttle which is a system product that marries MPEG-2 encoders with our own T1 and E1 interfaces. We pioneered inverse mixing of MPEG-2 over our T1 cards and created our own CSU/DSU's. Next came the DVB Master 1 in 1999. Next came the ATSC Master and the DVB Master FD. Others in far away places make copies sometimes. In January 2002 we introduced the IP Caster, our Linux based DVB to IP encapsulator. Others spent over 30 million dollars to develop similar products. We developed ours at the request of Nortel Networks at a cost of $300,000. It has built-in features such as SNMP management, supports unicast and multicast technology and other IP layers. From there we introduced T-Streamer/XXX, our industry and cost leading DVB Streamer. We believe that most of the world's STB boxes are tested with it.
In the spring of 2003, as a joint effort with our partner company Cypress Semiconductor, we introduced a new technology for us -- SMPTE 259M interfaces and Quad density DVB ASI. In 2003, due to a customer's request, we created the world's first DVB ASI Video TimeShifter, a low cost device that allows networks to time shift their video feeds.
Our growth between 2004 and 2007 has been very rapid. We grew by over 120% over 3 years by successfully supplying:
In 2006, and 2007 we have earned local recognition by the SD Business Journal as one of the fastest growing private companies in both San Diego and the USA. We will be included in INC magazine's 2008 list of fastest growing companies. We are proud.. but remain humble about our many accomplishments.
The story continues as we rush towards a challenging future...
Today we continue with Research and Development efforts into
key technologies in the TV, computer and communication fields.
Not only do we maintain our products' functionality in step
with developments in the Broadcast Industry, we are expanding
our product line. The path we take for expansion is determined
by what key technologies we think are important to automation
in the TV industry.
We have big plans to become a major player in the worldwide
TV equipment business. We are however in no huge hurry to
get there. We are a private company with no debt and a conservative,
doable, growth plan. As a potential customer you need to know
this. It means that we will be around years from now when
you need help with your products. And, then as now, our products
will be at the cutting edge of technology with a clear path
to new technologies.
Our vision is to create and sell state-of-the-art, cost efficient,
DVB ASI, SMPTE 310M, SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M, and HDTV products
and services that meet the evolving needs of our Broadcast
Oriented customers, enabling them to develop solutions that
result in profits and success by lowering their development
and ongoing costs. Since 1982 we have been focusing on relationships
and not on merely individual transactions. This "long
run" attitude has positioned CMI to be here for customers
of all types both small and large. We are here to serve you
and exist only because we offer superior value to the rapidly
evolving Broadcast Industry.
DVEO® is continually looking for new technology to develop

An Interesting -- Possible -- Factor In our Success:
The Long Tail Principle: "The falling cost of production,
distribution, and storage of products is allowing niche producers

we do!! In fact the aggregate value of the niches can exceed
the value of the mainstream products."

Poles-Pegs-Lacing Pins
Where do you get tipi poles? Depending on where you live, anywhere you can. One of the best methods is to buy from some of the companies that have a supply. If you have access to trees in your area, check them out. But also check to see what the laws are on cutting them down. Private property is one of the best ways and then National Forests cuts with the right permits. Buying poles can cost from $100.00 to $350.00 for a set with transportation. Some poles can cost from $15.00 to $25.00 or so a piece. Having bought a set, they can come from very rough stripped to ready to set up. Depends on what you want finished. The poles I received were almost ready to set up. All I had to do was a little sanding, round the points on the tips and put points on the "butts." Then another set looked like it just came out of the forest with a quick strip of the bark.
What type of poles are you looking for? Cypress, Red or White cedar, Wisconsin Balsam, Lodge Pole Pine or any other type of tree. You need to look for the absence of sap or cure the tree so that it reduces the surface flow. You do not want pine sap on your canvas. You need to let the poles cure for about three weeks or so. This all depends on the type of pole you have. Cypress poles can be stripped like a banana if cut in the Spring. Other times you will need to work the draw knife to strip the bark. Always turn the beveled edge of the knife down facing the bark. Using it up can cause you to gouge the tree as you dig into the surface. Small hatchet will do for cutting tree limbs and always go towards the top of the tree, reduces gauges on trunk. Then you can take a "sure form" to scrape or sand down the bumps. I like to use a four inch plainer to smooth down other areas as my hands can no longer do the holding of hand tools. Finish up with a good sanding of the entire surface and then take and ax to "Butt" the poles. Butting the poles or putting a point on the bottom end gives you a "bite" to put your poles up. I am 5'1" and can handle 30' long poles with this method.
Smoothing, shaping and stripping poles.
Storage on the ground
Draw knife and sanding
|If you have the courage or the need, cut your poles in half, carve the middles down to fit a plastic sleeve that will put them back together. Very similar to what is sometimes called a "Prussian" sleeve used to hold tent poles together.
These poles are joined with a metal rod through the middle connecting both sides.
Storage on wall
More "joined" poles
Stakes for outside an old Cheyenne lodge
White Buffalo Lodges Wood and metal stakes
Blackfeet pegs and lacing pins
Lacing Pins and Lacing Holes
Ahki front lacing pins holes
Plain set of lacing pins.
White Buffalo Lodges Lacing Pins
Pegging Down linings & Covers
|It is a good idea to always call way ahead of time before you need poles. Many poles are cut on a seasonal basis. Most are cut in the Spring for delivery in the summer to early fall. If you order in the fall you may get the "culls" or left over. Be specific to height, number, and when you need them. Allow yourself plenty of time before that first set up to get your poles in and finished. I like to put Thompson's Water Seal or some type of finish to keep them in good condition.

Amber Alert lifted; boy found safe
(Undated) -- A three-state Amber Alert for an abducted boy from Virginia, who could have been headed to Ohio with his father, has been lifted. The boy has been recovered safely and his father is in custody.
Virginia State Police say 11-year-old Lucas Ezra Silas Guinn and his 67-year-old father, Jimmy Donald Guinn, were both found Friday morning during a traffic stop in southwest Virginia. No indication was given as to why police believed Lucas is in danger.
It was believed that Lucas and his father could have been headed to West Virginia or Ohio. Lucas had last been seen at his middle school in Lebanon, Virginia.

text: There will be many patriotic displays during 4th of July celebrations this weekend. A red, white and blue quilt in Brewer will also be helping to raise money for some patriotic young adults.Deborah Norton owns the sewing and quilting shop, A Straight Stitch, in Brewer. When her son Robert joined the Civil Air Patrol this year, she had an idea."So I asked the girls if they'd mind if I finished the quilt and gave it to Civil Air Patrol to help fund some of their programs," Norton says.She says she's seen the difference the Air Force base program makes for young men and women."I like to clean my room now, which is surprising," says her son Robert, smiling."I'm not as immature as I used to be," says James Culp, a fellow Civil Air Patrol member. "I take responsibility for things I do. Civil Air Patrol has helped me out a lot with that."Norton is selling raffle tickets at a dollar a piece for the quilt. Its estimated value is 900 dollars – that's how much she wants to raise."I was very pleased, very tickled that she thought the program has impacted her and her son. And that she was willing to do something so generous for the unit," says Capt. Cathie Spaulding. Spaulding says cadet programs teach about aerospace, while encouraging respect, discipline and other life skills."Physical training. I do a lot of push-ups, sit-ups and I run a mile," says Zachary Baker, of his favorite part of Civil Air Patrol."I've learned a lot about aerospace, planes and rockets," says Cassandra Bortell."It's a really building block of life," Culp says.The quilt will be on display during the 4th of July parade in Brewer. Tickets are also on sale at Norton's shop on North Main Street in Brewer until July 8th."The more revenue we are able to generate, the more we can do for the individual cadets to attend different things, like their encampments and flight academies," Spaulding says."I'm so proud of my son and what he's done, and I'm so proud of these other kids," Norton says.

Mammalian tissues contain 3 distinct isoforms of malic enzyme: a cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isoform, a mitochondrial NADP(+)-dependent isoform, and a mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent isoform. This gene encodes a mitochondrial NADP(+)-dependent isoform. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined.

I've been tagged by my spirit guardian Spot Kat, my bestest frn in the whole universe and beyond.
I am supposed to say what kind of ice cream I look like and tag 5 other furiends.
Hmm... I think I look like Rocky Road because I'm a mixed up mess of brown, dark grey, creme color, black, tan and whatever.. I'm a Brown-Patched Tabby so what do you expect? I'm all the good flavors tucked into one dish and watch out because life can get kinda rocky when I'm around. Thank goodness I'm too big to climb the drapes now.
I have think about who I'm going to choose...
I was out playing with Willie and mama in the backyard, having fun getting the zoomies and all... when this little cat tried to get the jump on me! Mama was yelling at him and moving toward him.. I got set to have it out with him.. Willie pushed me back and she was going to take him on!!! What else could I do but sit and watch....
Willie chased him under the picnic table while mama opened up the gate so he could run out. He didn't. She even poked at him with a stick and he was still sitting there.
All of a sudden she picked me up and put me in the garage.. It was strange in there. She came through with Willie opening up the door which made me scared! What a noise!!
Then she came back for me. I was so scared, I knew I probably scratched her because I was trying to run away... Then she took me into the house and I felt alot better. Whew!
Let's not have that happen for awhile. Mama had been calling and calling for Pearlie to come out but really I think we were all glad she wasn't there too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KIBBLE!! Did you think it was something else???
Dr Julie sez my mouth is ALL healed and now I can eat my kibble again. Pearlie and I made quick work of a bowl full of it so mama had to refill it. I'd been missing it so much. It's great to be crunching again.
We've been playing alot of fish pole lately. I get kind of mad cuz mama thinks only Pearlie can get the fish untangled when she casts it into something.. but I've been trying to prove I can do it too. I dig around and get it right out..kinda.. Ok Pearlie is better at it but I can learn.
I have this new fun game. I put Mama to bed at night and then I go downstairs. I start talking, crying and howling.. so she calls to me to come up to bed. I run right upstairs and plop into bed with her like a bomb landing and then I tuck up as close to her as I can get. See, you have to play hard to get or else they'll start thinking they can make you do what they want you to do. That just ain't gonna happen.

The University of Chicago Booth School of BusinessChicago Booth
The confidence Margareta has developed in tackling new and unfamiliar business situations in more strategic and quantitative ways has been one of the best takeaways from her time at Chicago Booth.
One of my favorite things about coming to Chicago Booth is that I know I'm getting the real deal. I attend classes at the Singapore campus, but I'm getting the same program, degree, and education as all my classmates in the United States and Europe. One university. One degree. I'm studying with the actual professors who are generating the research that's shaping the field of business. It's great to meet them in person and have them share their knowledge with us at all the different campuses. It really fills me with a sense of pride to have these incredible researchers articulate their concepts to us, firsthand.
Coming to Booth has changed the way I think about business decisions. It's helped me to approach them in a more strategic and quantitative way. I used to rely more on a gut feeling, or my previous experiences but, as I've progressed in my career and my roles have become progressively complex, I find myself dealing with business decisions that don't present themselves with a lot of information. When I'm in a situation where I have to provide solutions to fellow team members, I find myself thinking back to what I've learned in school and all the tools I have available to me to solve the problem. Now I know that when I arrive at a decision, I'm confident of my work and proud of how I came to it.
I strongly believe in the Chicago Booth process. There's a systematic approach to how the content is presented to us. It gives us the tools we need to succeed in any situation, in any environment. It challenges us to make solid business decisions under serious time constraints. But that's the reality of the business world. You do have tight deadlines. You don't always have the luxury of having all the data you want to make your decisions. You have to rely on your qualitative and quantitative tools to make the best decisions you can with the resources you have.
It was very important to me, in getting my MBA, to have a global network, so I love that at Booth I'm part of this larger community than just the people I meet in class. I was actually surprised by that in a pleasant way. It gives me the confidence and the contacts to be able to visit any city in Asia Pacific, and just post on Facebook to tell people that I'm coming, and immediately know that I will get a reply. It's incredible, alumni who I've never met will often respond and invite me to dinner, or drinks. There are always people willing to welcome you into their city, introduce you to the local food and culture, and put you in contact with the key players in their market. It's a wonderful asset.
If you're someone who's willing to learn, wants to acquire new business skills, and is open to learning not just from the professor, but also from your classmates, then I think this is one of the best programs that I can recommend for any executive.

Weight loss is recognised as a marker of poor prognosis in patients with cancer but the aetiology of cancer cachexia remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationships between CT measured parameters of body composition and the systemic inflammatory response in patients with primary operable colorectal cancer.
174 patients with primary operable colorectal cancer who underwent resection with curative intent (2003–2010). Image analysis of CT scans was used to measure total fat index (cm2/m2), subcutaneous fat index (cm2/m2), visceral fat index (cm2/m2) and skeletal muscle index (cm2/m2). Systemic inflammatory response was measured by serum white cell count (WCC), neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS).
There were no relationships between any parameter of body composition and serum WCC or NLR. There was a significant relationship between low skeletal muscle index and an elevated systemic inflammatory response, as measured by the mGPS (p?=?0.001). This was confirmed by linear relationships between skeletal muscle index and both C-reactive protein (r?=?-0.21, p?=?0.005) and albumin (r?=?0.31, p<0.001). There was no association between skeletal muscle index and tumour stage.
The present study highlights a direct relationship between low levels of skeletal muscle and the presence of a systemic inflammatory response in patients with primary operable colorectal cancer.

In at least 22 countries — from Australia to Brazil to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to North Korea — voting (in some form) in elections is compulsory, meaning that if citizens fail to cast a ballot, the government will take punitive action. Australian non-voters are met with a letter from the electoral commission requesting a reason for their absenteeism.
Brazil and Peru ban non-voters from certain activities, including applying for passports. A few countries, like Belgium and Costa Rica, have mandatory voting laws on the books, but they are seldom, if ever, enforced. Meanwhile, countries like Ecuador excuse illiterate citizens, and Brazil does not require members of the military to vote.
Proponents of compulsory voting claim that the institution of democracy is far too important for citizens to fail to participate. That argument has resonance in the United States, where voter participation has averaged below 60%t in every single election since 1968 — even falling to 57.5% of eligible voters in the 2012 presidential election — while the public's faith in congressional lawmakers remains sluggish at 18%, after hitting a low of 9% in November 2013, and President Barack Obama's approval rating stands at a less-than-impressive 47%.
In the United States, the problem is not only that voter turnout is low but that it is socially biased, as well. Those Americans who fail to vote are typically already disadvantaged, and this means voting power is concentrated in the well-off demographic.


text: We will "save good television" say Doctor Who Confidential campaigners RT speak to the Save DWC group that's attracted rapid online support Comments Written By 5:35 PM, 29 September 2011 First there was the Save 6 Music campaign, then there was Save BBC4 - and now Doctor Who Confidential fans have become the latest group of viewers and listeners to take on the establishment with an online campaign. More than 14,000 people have signed an online petition to save BBC3 programme Doctor Who Confidential in the last 24 hours. In the same period, the Twitter account @saveDWC has attracted nearly six thousand followers. As RadioTimes.com reported yesterday, this Saturday's edition of the sci-fi companion show will be the last. It is understood the programme, which has been screened alongside the main show since it rebooted in 2005, will make way for a new emphasis on primetime television for BBC3 under the leadership of channel controller Zai Bennett. At the time of writing, 88 per cent of more than 2,700 RadioTimes.com readers who voted in our poll agree that Doctor Who Confidential should not have been cancelled. But why all the fuss? Shows get cancelled all the time - what makes DWC so special? "It's educational, informative entertainment," a SaveDWC spokesperson, who asked to remain nameless, told RadioTimes.com. "What we, the fans, aim to achieve is basically save good television... in the last series of Doctor Who Confidential we have seen how incredibly important it is to keep shows like this around. "Doctor Who Confidential recently went around schools showing kids how to write stories and giving them the chance to meet the Doctor and see the Tardis... It really is very frustrating because what I personally believe makes great television is the fact viewers have a say in these decisions. I feel that because the BBC have made this decision in some office in London, behind viewers' backs, is incredibly worrying." The campaigner is happy to concede the programme as it stands could possibly benefit from a revamp, but remains adamant that cancelling the show altogether will be to the detriment of Doctor Who fans. "OK, so maybe Doctor Who Confidential had its flaws with 45 minutes to fill, but Doctor Who is 45 minutes long, so surely a 15-minute piece of Doctor Who Confidential would give us a 'Doctor Who hour', if you like - and, if need be, an extended one for massive episodes like the finales and Christmas Specials. "The bottom line is, we have made a group to support Doctor Who Confidential and get the kids tuning in after Doctor Who to show them how you write and how it gets put together. "It's educational, informative entertainment and I don't see why that should be left in the garbage while shows like Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum are still going. These shows are designed to laugh at what is wrong with society rather than bring kids up with big ideas and big dreams of working on sets like Doctor Who or maybe even being the future of the show. "This is why it needs to continue on our screens." So what next for the campaign? "We're taking it one day at a time, really, but I think it's fantastic the way a lot of their viewers have taken me up on this campaign. "The Confidential team are behind us, most of the Doctor Who people who write for the show and also the narrator of the show, Russell Tovey, who even followed the campaign [on Twitter]. "Each time something like that happens you realise, yes, I was right to start this campaign." Indeed, acclaimed sci-fi writer and author of Doctor Who episode The Doctor's Wife, Neil Gaiman, today Tweeted his support: "@SaveDWC good luck! I think Doctor Who Confidential is one of the best shows about television out there, even eating aside the Dr Who..." The SaveDWC spokesperson added: "The past 24 hours have been incredible, the fact that I managed to gather this tremendous support is very encouraging." RadioTimes.com contacted BBC3 regarding the Save Doctor Who Confidential campaign but they declined to comment. Do you think Doctor Who Confidential should have been axed? Like this? Share it.

Signal P&G 2013 — Winning Brand Building At The Speed Of Digital
Posted by Bert Dumars on May 31, 2013
- 356 Recommendations
- 3 comments
I had the privilege of attending the 2nd annual Procter & Gamble (P&G) Signal P&G event in Cincinnati yesterday, May 30, 2013. The event was created to inspire P&G marketers to accelerate digital, social, and mobile marketing innovation while not losing focus on core brand building fundamentals. Marc Pritchard, P&G CMO, stated several times that "understanding our consumers is core to anything we do in digital."
The event MC was John Battelle, CEO of Federated Media, who did an excellent job keeping the speakers moving and on point. Stan Joosten, innovation manager, global eBusiness, of P&G played a pivotal role in managing the overall event under Marc Pritchard's sponsorship and leadership. There were nearly 500 P&G and outside guest attendees as well as many more via webcast.
It was a packed day with 20 speakers and excellent insights. Here are but a few quotes and insights from the day.
Marc Pritchard started the day off with key themes:
- "Speed is absolutely essential to winning brand building at speed of digital."
- Main Signal P&G themes for P&G marketers to soak in included: "speed, teamwork, and innovation based on P&G-proven business models, with brands being most important."
- "P&G must innovate by being productively paranoid." Pritchard based this mantra on the book Good to Great by Jim Collins.
- The P&G innovation model should be "bullets to cannonballs." Test several concepts (bullets), identify the best opportunities with the most potential traction, and then scale fast (cannonball).
- Pritchard also stated, "No more fear of making mistakes." Innovation means testing, failing, learning, optimizing, and then scaling fast.
- He also stated, "We have fallen in love with technology but need to fall back in love with ideas. We need great creativity."
- With the P&G CEO change from Bob McDonald back to A.G. Lafley, Marc Pritchard also discussed expectations going forward. He expects A.G. Lafley to drive innovation, understand the consumer is boss, and increase creativity dramatically.
Rishad Tobaccowala, chief strategy and innovation officer of VivaKi had some wonderful insights on the new age of storytelling and a world dominated by glass or, as I like to call them, screens.
- "We now live in a world of digital leakage where digital and analog intermingle — a great example being smartphones and wearables."
- Marketers must understand the digital world opens the door to next-generation storytelling and consider this their new pallet.
- The customer journey is dead; we are all self-marketers now.
- The future is less about advertising and more about utilities and services. Think Nike Fuel Band.
- Marketers must consider entertainment across glass — curved, wearable. The architecture is available now.
- He ended with some great quotes: "The future is about collaboration — only the schizophrenic will survive"; "How do agencies need to change?"; and "Stop selling mounds of mediocrity."
Margo Georgiadis, president, Americas Google, delivered a couple mobile-specific insights:
- Brands now have the opportunity to work around retailer restrictions and have direct interaction with consumers via mobile.
- Thinking of mobile — every piece of glass is an end cap. Marketing must be more integrated than ever across those end caps.
- Marketers must now be as obsessive about digital touchpoints as they were and are about traditional touchpoints. Just as marketers walk the aisles of retailers, they must use, understand, and walk the digital aisles of glass and apps.
John Hayes, CMO at American Express, was interviewed by John Battelle and had these insights to share:
- Marketers who really want to make a difference in the digital space must immerse themselves with developers and technologists.
- Digital wallets are still a solution in search of a problem. This does not mean American Express is not exploring and investing, but this space is still in flux.
- And finally a fun quote: "You know you have created brand power when consumers ask for the American Express Black Card but don't even know what it does."
These are just a few highlights from the day. But the most fun insight came from a Google study that showed that of those who admitted it, 39% of all smartphone users have used them in the bathroom.
The Signal P&G 2013 event represents a great way to educate brand marketers and emphasize the importance of digital and mobile to brand building and marketing innovation.

P&G's growth slowing down
Comment from John Riley (not verified) on Tue, 10/08/2013 - 18:08
As growth slows, P&G is losing market share to competitors. A.G. Lafley has taken the reins once again, and it is up to him to deliver a turnaround – but will he be able to?

Winner take nothing. (original 1933; edition 1933)
by Ernest Hemingway
Work details
Winner Take Nothing by Ernest Hemingway (1933)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Despite considering myself a staunch Hemingway fan for a few years now, I've still never been entirely sold on his short stories. Winner Take Nothing came closest for me to opening my eyes to the merits of this part of his writing career. There were still a couple of duds, and the collection as a whole ran out of steam before the end (the best ones are at the start of the book), but the writing is as clean and precise as ever. It also contains the best Hemingway short story I've yet read: 'The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.' I really liked some of the other stories – particularly 'The Capital of the World', 'After the Storm' and 'A Natural History of the Dead' – but the Macomber story was flawless, a story that epitomises all the praise which I've often heard Hemingway receive for his short stories but never really personally identified before. I may still not appreciate his short stories as much as I do his novels but Winner Take Nothing, and the Macomber story in particular, has helped me a great deal in getting there.
A veried collection of Hemingway stories, it is a strong group punctuated by the absolutely brilliant 'A Clean Well-Lighted Place' which is arguably his best story ever.
"The reporting in almost all these stories is superlative; the dialogue is admirable, the rapidly sketched-in picture is vivid, whole; the way of life is caught and conveyed without a hitch. . . But Hemingway has explored it beyond its worth."
"[The stories] ring hollow. But this need not necessarily be urged against Hemingway, for he believes . . . that we are the hollow men . . . The effect he aims at is emptiness, and to say he achieves emptiness is to praise his artistry."

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 002051820X, Board book)Written when Hemingway was at the height of his creative powers, the stories in Winner Take Nothing glow with the mark of his unique talent. Hunters, wives, old men of wisdom, waiters, fighters, women loved, women lost: they are all here, living on the raw edge, making love, facing the inevitable reality of death. The characters, the dialogue, the settings, the remarkable insight could have come only from Hemingway's imagination. As an introduction to his work, or as an overview of the themes he developed at greater length in his novels, it is a stunningly successful collection.

Includes a varied collection of 14 short fiction pieces. In these stories, Hemingway's sinewy prose is stripped down, raw, and propellant. His choice of story matter ventures from a wife facing the fallout of her husband's wartime dalliance to the absurdist brilliance of "Homage to Switzerland"--told from the perspectives of 3 colorful characters waiting at Swiss railway stations.… (more)
