Donald Bloesch was one of the most highly respected evangelical theologians for forty years. He was born in 1928 and died in 2010. He wrote numerous books--all considered within the mainstream of American evangelical thought (except perhaps by fundamentalists). True, he studied with Karl Barth and was influenced by him, but he was always irenically critical of Barth--especially his "objectivism" of salvation (that left personal decision out of the equation) and his tendency to divide the Word of … [Read more...]

What Should a Pastor Say to a Group of Boys?
What Should a Pastor Say to a Group of Boys?A friend who is youth pastor at a "mainline" Protestant church has invited me to speak with the boys of his youth group. Fortunately, the youth pastor sees the precarious situation of boys in our contemporary American society as it really is—precarious and pernicious. He wants me, as an academic theologian with strong interest in helping boys in our society gain a sure footing, to, what I would call, "conscienticize" and encourage them.I read a … [Read more...]
Another Round in the Old "Evolution vs. Creation" Debate
Another Round in the Old "Evolution vs. Creation" DebateI live in the great state of Texas. Every year, and sometimes throughout a year, controversy erupts over public school textbooks. Here's the back story.Texas is so large and its public schools are so populated that textbook publishers do not want to alienate the Texas state agency that approves textbooks. So, indirectly, anyway, Texas has the ability to sway national textbooks' contents.For several years the board that examines … [Read more...]

My Response to "The Emerging Divide in Evangelical Theology" by Gerald McDermott (Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 56:2 [June, 2013])This is the second time Professor McDermott has criticized me and other (what I call) postconservative evangelical theologians in print (that I know of).

The substance of this article is the same as that one.McDermott is Jordan-Trexler Professor of Religion at Roanoke College in Sal … [Read more...]
Calvinism Appearing in Unexpected (and Innapropriate) Places
Due to the rise of what my friend Scot McKnight calls "neo-Puritanism" (what others have labeled "the new Calvinism" or just "resurgent Calvinism") TULIP Calvinism is popping up in places it does not belong. Especially young men are reading John Piper, Mark Driscoll, Matt Chandler, even Michael Horton, and taking this new found theology "home" with them into the denominations they grew up in or have joined. Often those denominations are historically averse to Calvinism--such as … [Read more...]
Must a Christian Believe in God? ("Godless Christianity?")
Must a Christian Believe in God? Is there a "Godless Christianity?"Over the years I've had many encounters with people claiming to be Christians who also say they either do not believe in God or are not sure whether they believe in God. And I've read several theologians who claim to be Christian who deny the existence/reality of God (that is, they deny "theistic realism").Must a person believe in God to be Christian?Well, first, we have to parse the question and terms carefully. What … [Read more...]
Excellent New Book about Calvin and Wesley
A few months ago Abingdon Press (the United Methodist publisher) sent me the manuscript of a forthcoming (now published) book by my friend Don Thorsen who teaches theology at Azusa Pacific University. (Actually, he's also the Chair of the Department of Theology and Ethics at APU's Haggard Graduate School of Theology.) Don and I have been friends ever since we worked together on the editorial board of the Christian Scholar's Review in the 1990s. Don is a good Wesleyan theologian.The book, … [Read more...]

BOSTON -- Attorney General Martha Coakley said on June 24 that her office has made permanent a set of regulations to ban Internet cafés and phone card venders with sweepstakes games, or "phone card lotteries." The original policy was issued in April.
Coakley said venues in question had always been illegal, but operators had skirted the laws by "disguising gambling as something else such as the sale of Internet access." The regulations will prevent this scheme, she said.
Coakley's office is pursuing a criminal investigation against at least two sweepstakes parlors in Bristol and Hampden Counties.
Meanwhile, sweepstakes videogames remain controversial in many other states.
In an unrelated story, North Myrtle Beach, SC, has asked South Carolina's Attorney General, Alan Wilson, for a definitive legal opinion regarding the status of sweepstakes videogames in the state.
City officials said Hest Technologies, which made preliminary inquiries with a view to opening a cyber café in the resort town, triggered the request.
In Parker, FL, a sweepstakes videogame operator is suing the Jackson County Sheriff and the State Attorney because his games were shut down last May. The officials said the machines are gambling devices.

CANADA STOCKS-Futures lower as oil prices fall
March 14 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a lower opening for Canada's main index on Monday as Brent crude prices fell below $40 a barrel after Iran dashed hopes that there would be a coordinated production freeze any time soon, returning bearish sentiment to the market over a glut that has sent prices crashing.
March futures on the S&P TSX index were down 0.26 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.
Canada's main stock index rose on Friday, marking a new three-month high as an oil rally and improved risk appetite helped drive gains in energy and financial stocks.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were down 0.09 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were down 0.21 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were down 0.12 percent.

Recap | Final Stats | Notes | AP Photo Gallery
Pitt Head Coach Todd Graham
Opening statement:
"We are pretty elated with how our guys responded today. I'm proud of how they went out today and played. We faced a lot of adversity tonight. Obviously, with Ray [Graham] going down early in the game, it was a big blow for us. I didn't know anything other than he couldn't come back the rest of the game."
On the changes in the offensive line:
"We had a lot of guys go down. But, I was very proud of our offensive line play today. I challenged them to attack and walk onto the field with great confidence and be physical up front. I thought those guys played well. Ryan Turnley was unbelievable while playing through what he was playing through. The courage he showed tonight was phenomenal. I can't say enough about him. He's a tremendous warrior. I am really proud of him."
On the performance of the offense:
"I thought our guys executed. One of the things we worked on was the passing game. One of the things I was very proud of was how our staff adjusted to some things this week that helped us."
On Tino Sunseri's performance:
"I was really pleased with Tino and how he managed the game. It's the second time this year that we reached our goal of 100 percent ball security. We took care of the ball and didn't turn the ball over tonight. We went back to some things that really helped him. 419 yards passing, that's a good night. I thought Tino was very solid tonight."
On the defense:
"Tonight, I thought our defense did a good job. We still need to get takeaways."
On the next opponent:
"We're excited to go onto the next step and that's Cincinnati. I like how our guys have concern and care for each other. I like how our guys responded. They responded like champions."
Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri
On Ray Graham's injury:
"Whenever you lose a player like Ray Graham, it hurts a lot. He's a vocal leader and he's also one of the best backs in America. But the way Ray is he wanted to make sure we kept moving forward and that we won this game.
"Ray's one guy who got hurt, but we've lost around five linemen. So we've been hit with the injury bug a little bit, but it just goes to show you what kind of guys we have behind them. Zach Brown came in and did a tremendous job in all three phases of playing running back — picking up the pass protection, making sure he's getting out on his routes and running the football."
On throwing for Heinz Field record:
"As a quarterback you're just trying to make sure you're moving the ball down the field. You can't worry about anything else."
Wide receiver Mike Shanahan
On using the run to set up the pass:
"We were able to use the run to our advantage. Our offense has a lot of pass options off our run. We've been working on that all week."
On Tino Sunseri's Heinz Field passing record:
"I didn't know it was a record, but that's great for him. He really played well. He gave us chances. You can't really say enough about him."
Pitt defensive tackle Chas Alecxih
On holding the lead throughout the game:
"We've had a lot of games this season where we let a team come back. We just put our foot down and said we weren't going to let them do that."
On UConn's successful drives in the third quarter:
"They fought hard. I'll give them that. There was no quit in them."
On defensive performance:
"Our d-line has been phenomenal this year. A guy like Aaron Donald, who just comes in and steps up, I'm just so proud of our d-line and the linebackers too."
Connecticut Head Coach Paul Pasqualoni
Opening statement:
"I thought we came out and started the second half well. We didn't play very well at all in the first half, but in the second half we came out and got started pretty good. We got it to eight (points) and had to settle for the three points, but we made it a one score game. I think what took the wind out of our sails was that next drive by Pitt. They went down and scored and made it a two score game again and we just seemed to never be able to really recover from that point. I thought Pitt played a very good game tonight and I thought the quarterback Tino Sunseri managed their offense, their run, the option – the throw part of it. You have to be an exact position when you are defending the back and then the quarterback on the run and then he's throwing it going vertically down the field. You can't be out of position at all and I thought he executed well.
"I thought our guys fought, but we just didn't play well enough tonight. It's disappointing because we practiced hard and prepared so hard for this team with the understanding of the complexity of what we getting into. Offensively – neither team did really well on third down, but we need to do a much better job obviously on third down."
On Pitt's passing game:
"That ball was going vertically down the field. It's being thrown in the seam so once they get the ball in the seam there is some yards after the catch, as well. It's all part of the design of what they do. To their credit, they hit some crossing routes and they caught us in man once or twice and they ran the wide receiver under and he came all the way across the field and we got caught in the traffic there a couple of times and those were complete. Sunseri completed some balls to the backs on some of the swings. Again, they executed well tonight."
On UConn linebacker unit:
"We are doing to watch the film but what we are going to say -everybody who had pass coverage responsibly could have been a little bit better. At the end of the day, that's what we will say. Coming off the run fake, sometimes you get a half step behind and I thought he (Sunseri) threw the ball pretty accurately tonight so it's not going to be just the linebackers, it will be the safeties and it will end up being the corners and it will end up being everybody."
On whether Ray Graham going down changed UConn's game plan:
"The 42 number (pass opportunities) is high, but clearly Pitt has shown this year that they do want to throw the ball. They are running this spread offense in what opportunities that present themselves, but they are not throwing the ball that deep vertically down the field. They are throwing the ball up the field in the seams – even though they are not really long shots, they are in the seam. I thought they felt they would have a little more success utilizing the pass option off the run."
UConn quarterback Johnny McEntee
On Pitt's offensive strategy in the first half:
"Pitt was doing a pretty good job on coverage and we actually ran the ball pretty well the whole game. We had trouble passing in the first half and we couldn't convert any third downs. We fell behind quick, but I think we came out in the second half and started moving the ball. We at least gave ourselves a chance to win when we came back out in the second half of the game. I missed a lot of throws at first but in the second half we started making more passes and plays happen. We executed a little better in the second half.
"On a couple of those first drives in the second half, if we would of played like that the whole game then I think we would have definitely come out with a win. It seems like that in every game, we do pretty well on certain drives and move the ball well, but we either can't get a touchdown in the red zone or we can't do it the whole game.
"I think it comes down to execution. We are doing a pretty good job at practice and our team is working really hard but we have to do a better job at executing."
On Pitt's six sacks against UConn:
"At least two or three of the sacks were on me. I have to do a better job at avoiding the rush and getting the ball out quicker."
UConn linebacker Sio Moore
On Pitt's offensive strategy:
"We didn't come to play like we were supposed to and there wasn't anything we didn't know they were going to do. We prepared for this team for 10 days and we didn't execute. Pitt did execute and they outplayed us tonight. Overall, they got the best of the match today. For us we didn't capitalize on what we were supposed to and we didn't make the right plays. Pitt was able to take small plays and turn them into big plays, which is what good teams do. Pitt proved they were the better team tonight.
"We needed to get a stop and we weren't able to tonight. It's one thing when you prepare all week and you want to win because every team wants to win, but you also have to know how to win and you have to execute. You have to make sure you do what you have to win. We came up short and that's just how it is."

Crop Science. 51:771-785. Interpretive Summary: Potato is one of the most important food crops in the world. Developing potato varieties with improved characteristics could be facilitated if genes governing these traits were found. In this study we identified areas on potato chromosomes that govern flower color, foliage maturity, tuber skin texture, dry matter content, specific gravity, and yield. This information will help geneticists pinpoint agronomically important potato genes in the future.
Technical Abstract: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L) is one of the world's most important food crops. Using a tetraploid population, we developed a linkage map using AFLP and SSR markers, and searched for QTL via interval mapping and single-marker ANOVA. QTL were detected for flower color, foliage maturity, tuber skin texture, dry matter content, specific gravity, and yield. Most linkage groups were anchored to Solanum chromosomes using SSRs. The most significant QTL detected was for flower color. It was located on chromosome II and explained over 40% of the variation for this trait. This QTL most likely corresponds to the R locus for red anthocyanin production. We also confirmed the presence of QTL for foliage maturity on chromosomes III and V. For skin texture, a trait that has not been previously mapped in potato, we detected multiple QTL. One of these, found on chromosome III, explained more than 20% of the variation. By measuring specific gravity and dry matter independently we were able to detect QTL for these two traits that did not co-locate, even though the traits are strongly correlated. In general, yield QTL were detected in one season only. Most QTL accounted for 4.3-17.9% of observed variation. Many QTL could be modeled as simplex or duplex with dominant effects, but a large number displayed additive or inter-allelic interactive effects. The mapping and modeling of traits in this tetraploid population could be improved by the use of more co-dominant markers, such as SNPs.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: This 2x5 crimp connector snaps onto a 10-pin ribbon cable to form a dual-inline connection that can be pushed right into a breadboard.
Yay! It's "breadboad" friendly! This will go great with my "breadboad"!
What, you don't have a "breadboad"? pfff
Sure seems like the gender should be specified when the thing is assembled in its intended fashion. The crimped part is intended to be done once, whereas the male pins are the part of the connector intended to be the part plugged and unplugged.
Agreed, and the weird thing is it's listed as "(2x5, Female)" the 2x5 portion are certainly male pins. If you were even going to try and refer to it as female it would be by the 1x10 crimp array.
Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a gender-confused connector though.
This is awesome.
Pin1 is upper-right corner and pin2 is upper-left corner!!! This is non-standard from many headers, ICs, etc. Be aware…
A couple of notes about the datasheet:
The columns in the dimension table at lower right are mislabeled. Column "A" should be labeled "B" and vice versa.
If you're using this on a PCB, take note that the pins are not round. Make your holes 0.75mm dia for a good fit.
Is there a 2x10 version of this connector?
To crimp these you need a lot of force. I tend to sacrifice a matching IC socket, remove all the pins, insert the header pins into the shell of the IC socket (to protect them) and put it in a bench vice. You can also cut two slot in a piece of wood and place the rows of pins in the slots to protect them.
I have had more success with these when I heat the plastic a little with a heat gun (hair dryer should work) to allow the "knife" edges to pierce the insulation a little easier. Good luck, I plan on two of these to get one working.
Stupid questions probably, but…
Hey, anyone have any experience uncrimping these?
Let's just say a small curiosity accident occurred when they arrived.
You may be able to gently pry open the latches on the narrow ends just enough to slip the top back off, but be careful as the plastic can be brittle. You'll need a very thin flathead screwdriver or X-Acto blade. I've been able to get some open again, others not so much. Good luck!
It worked! Thank you so much! I actually started wrong, and ended up mangling the little bumps on one side, but then the other side came up nicely. I thought the mechanism holding it in place was different. Anyways, thank you again!
P.S. The data sheet is wrong. It appears to be for a crimp connector with rows of 20 pins.
Great, glad that helped! The drawing in the datasheet shows 20 pins, but this datasheet is generic for all the sizes that this connector comes in. The table on the right-hand side has the dimensions for all the different parts.
I am looking for something similar to this, but with 1mm (50 mil) pitch, and about 5mm row spacing. any suggestions are welcome.
Have fun trying to find that. Nothing close on Digi-Key.
The two rows of pins are spaced 0.3 inch apart so they can also be plugged into a 10-pin DIL IC socket.
They're also perfect for plugging across the valley of a breadboard.

A free of charge workshop titled, "Intelligent transport systems in emerging markets – drivers for safe and sustainable growth," will be held at ITU Headquarters in Geneva, 27 June 2013, to discuss recent advances in intelligent transport systems (ITS) with emphasis on improving road safety in developing countries.
The workshop is jointly organized by ITU and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and will draw a number of its participants from attendees of a meeting of UNECE's Working Party 29 on Vehicle Regulations taking place in the Palais des Nations that same week.
The upcoming workshop will gather industry executives, policy makers, regulators and standardization experts from the automotive and ICT sectors to review movements in the ITS space in respect of its underlying technologies and applications as well as its emerging regulatory frameworks and standards. The event will discuss barriers to ITS adoption, explore how current obstacles might be overcome and focus on the benefits that ITS will afford emerging economies in improving road safety.
The event will be held during the eighth meeting of the Collaboration on ITS Communication Standards being held on 26 and 28 June 2013 at ITU Headquarters in Geneva. The Collaboration is providing a global forum for the creation of an internationally harmonized set of ITS communication standards to enable the deployment of fully interoperable ITS products and services in the global marketplace. The group expects that a first 'release' of ITS communication standards will be up for approval as ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations in early 2015.
The ITU-UNECE workshop is the latest in a series of 2013 milestones in ITU's work to improve the relationship between ICTs and road safety.
The Focus Group on Driver Distraction concluded its work in March 2013, producing five technical reports being taken up by the two groups leading ITU-T's standardization work on driver distraction, ITU-T Study Group 12 (Performance, QoS and QoE) and Study Group 16 (Multimedia coding, systems and applications). News on the technical reports can be found here.
In addition, "ICTs and improving road safety" was the theme of the 2013 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) celebrated at ITU Headquarters in Geneva on 17 May.
ITU members have approved a new set of algorithmic models to monitor the quality of streamed audiovisual media. The model algorithms set out in the new ITU-T P.1200 series provide objective models for non-intrusive monitoring of the quality of User Datagram Protocol (UDP)-based video services, addressing both lower and higher resolution applications such as mobile TV and Internet Protocol TV (IPTV).
A major challenge in the management of IP-based networks is the provision of adequate Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS) for new multimedia services and applications such as IPTV, 3D video, and Internet media including over-the-top (OTT) video.
ITU-T Study Group 12 (Performance, QoS and QoE) is the expert group responsible for the ITU-T P.1200 series which offers tools to assess video quality in a scalable manner; proposing quality estimation models which operate by analysing packet-header and bitstream information as available from respective packet-trace data.The ITU-T P.1200 models are 'no-reference' or 'non-intrusive' in that their primary quality prediction does not require prior knowledge of the audiovisual stream being transported, being based solely on information as it is available on the network or inside terminals.
Recommendation ITU-T P.1201 "Parametric non-intrusive assessment of audiovisual media streaming quality" provides an overview of algorithmic models for non-intrusive monitoring of the audio, video and audiovisual quality of IP-based video services based on packet-header information. ITU-T P.1201.1 and ITU-T P.1201.2 specify model algorithms for lower and higher resolution application areas, respectively.
Recommendation ITU-T P.1202 "Parametric non-intrusive bitstream assessment of video media streaming quality" complements ITU-T P.1201 with an overview of bitstream-based algorithmic models for non-intrusive monitoring of video quality based on packet-header and bitstream information. ITU-T P.1202.1 and ITU-T P.1202.2 specify model algorithms for lower and higher resolution application areas, respectively.
The ITU-T P.1201 models cover audio, video and audiovisual quality estimates while the ITU-T P.1202 models focus on video quality, but the key difference between the two Recommendations is that ITU-T P.1201 models are restricted to the use of packet-header information whereas ITU-T P.1202 models exploit further bitstream information such as coding-related information.
Consequently, ITU-T P.1202 models can be more accurate in their quality predictions but in turn require non-encrypted streams to enable access to payload information. In addition, ITU-T P.1202 models are more complex and thus demand more computational power.
The model algorithms specified by the ITU-T P.1200 series provide individual estimates of audio, video and audiovisual quality in terms of the 5-point absolute category rating (ACR) mean opinion score (MOS) scale (described in Recommendation ITU-T P.910). The models are also capable of producing diagnostic information on the causes of quality degradations, as different types of performance parameters are derived during model calculations.
The series will in the future be extended to include transmission control protocol (TCP) and OTT video (considering both adaptive and non-adaptive streaming), and another natural progression of this work will be towards the monitoring of the video and audiovisual quality of 3D video.

The European Patent Office explains why its relationship with standards makers is so crucial in a new post on the ITU blog.
The ITU-T L.1410 and L.1420 Recommendations to assess the environmental impacts of ICTs are among 10 international methodologies to have been pilot-tested in Europe's bid to establish and converge around a common international framework to assess the energy and emission footprint of the ICT sector.
Recommendation ITU-T L.1410 "Methodology for environmental impacts of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) goods, networks and services" provides a standardized way to assess the direct environmental impact of ICT goods, networks and services, as well as their indirect impact on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of non-ICT industry sectors. It is based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology standardized in ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
ITU-T L. 1420 "Methodology for energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions impact assessment of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in organizations" standardizes the requirements with which an organization should comply when assessing energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is based on ISO 14064-1.
In a study led by the European Commission, 27 leading ICT companies and associations engaged in a 10-month trial of measurement methodologies developed by entities including international standards development organizations (SDOs) such as ITU's Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), ISO, IEC, ETSI and the GHG Protocol.
The study was commissioned by the European Commission's DG CONNECT as part of its ICT Footprint initiative which aims to test the workability and compatibility of 'footprinting' methodologies in the ICT sector, with the overarching goal of building consensus and engendering convergence around a "common methodological framework for the measurement of the energy consumption and carbon emissions arising from the production, transport and selling processes of ICT goods, networks and services."
The results of the study are detailed in a report titled "ICT Footprint: Pilot testing on methodologies for energy consumption and caron footprint of the ICT-sector".
The pilots recognized Recommendation ITU-T L.1420 as the only available international reporting methodology to assess ICT-related energy consumption and/or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in ICT organizations as well as ICT-related activities within non-ICT organizations.
As regards products, networks and services, similarities were found between Recommendation ITU-T L.1410 and ETSI TS 103 199 "Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of ICT equipment, networks and services: General methodology and common requirements with the goal to develop a common ITU-T/ETSI Methodology for ICT products, networks and services".
The report concludes by recommending actions through which policy makers, SDOs and industry can accelerate the drive towards a common international ICT-footprinting framework. The pilot-testing has proven that the work performed by ITU-T is resulting in robust deliverables and should be leveraged as a basis for future enhancements.
Acting on suggestions from the pilot-testing report, ITU-T Study Group 5 (Environment and climate change) and the ETSI Technical Committee on Environmental Engineering (ETSI TC EE) are collaborating on the revision of their respective standards, Recommendation ITU-T L. 1410 and ETSI TS 103 199.
A first meeting between the two expert groups will discuss a roadmap for this collaboration. Kindly hosted by ETSI, the meeting will be held in Sophia Antipolis, France, 27-31 May 2013. Details can be found here.

An ITU workshop on software-defined networking (SDN) will gather a global selection of standardization experts to progress SDN standards-development with one aim to establish efficient coordination of future work.
SDN is a promising route towards the introduction and realization of network virtualization, a major shift in networking technology which will give network operators the ability to establish and manage new virtualized resources and networks without deploying new hardware technologies. ICT market players see SDN and network virtualization as critical to countering the increases in network complexity, management and operational costs traditionally associated with the introduction of new services or technologies.
SDN proposes to decouple the control and data planes by way of a centralized, programmable control-plane and data-plane abstraction. This abstraction will usher in greater speed and flexibility in routing instructions and the security and energy management of network equipment such as routers and switches.
The upcoming workshop responds to Resolution 77 - Standardization work in ITU-T for software defined networking agreed by the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA-12) in Dubai, UAE, 20-29 November 2012. SDN was emphasized as a strategic priority for ITU-T by the meeting of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Group, 18 November 2012 (The 2012 CTO Meeting Communiqué can be found here). The Global Standards Symposium (GSS-12) held the day preceding WTSA-12, 19 November 2012, acted on the recommendations of the CTO Group by taking SDN as one of its points of focus and feeding the conclusions of its SDN discussion into WTSA-12.
The workshop will take place at ITU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, 4 June 2013, within the annual meeting of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG), 4-7 June 2013. It will be co-chaired by Wei Feng, Huawei, China, Chairman of ITU-T Study Group 11 (Signalling requirements, protocols and test specifications); and Chae-Sub Lee, Kaist, Republic of Korea, Chairman of ITU-T Study Group 13 (Future networks including cloud computing, mobile and NGN). Confirmed speakers include representatives of ITU-T Study Groups 11 and 13; the University of Tokyo, Japan; MIIT/CATR, China; Cisco Systems; the ETSI Industry Specification Group on Network Function Virtualization (ISG NFV); and the Open Networking Foundation (ONF).

Cooperation between ITU and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has produced a new metadata standard to enable rights information interoperability in IPTV services. The standard provides a framework for communicating data such as that accompanying material under copyright, to ensure that multimedia content can be shared legally across different platforms.
Recommendation ITU-T H.751 "Metadata for rights information interoperability in IPTV services" is technically aligned with IEC 62698 "Multimedia home server systems – Rights information interoperability for IPTV". The parallel standard is the product of collaboration between experts from IEC Technical Committee 100 (Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment) and ITU-T Study Group 16 (Multimedia coding, systems and applications).
"Metadata" refers to data describing aspects of other data, or information about information presented in the form of "structured, encoded data that describe characteristics of information-bearing entities to aid in the identification, discovery, assessment and management of the described entities" (Recommendation ITU-T Y.1901).
IPTV metadata is information on multimedia services and content which provides a descriptive and structural framework for managing IPTV services spanning television, audio, video, text, graphics and data. "Rights information metadata" in particular refers to information on the rights granted to end-users of multimedia content, stipulating pre-defined 'utilization functions' including permissions to view/hear, copy, modify, record, excerpt, sample, store or distribute content; restrictions on times or hours content can be played, viewed or heard; and obligations such as payment.
To date, a lack of interoperability in rights information metadata has meant that consumers are at risk of being locked into solutions offered by a single service provider. A user's purchased rights to multimedia content are dependent on and bound to the rights held by the service provider. In addition, service providers employ different technologies and systems in the management of digital content and associated rights information.
ITU-T H.751 | IEC 62698 provides clear mechanisms or rules for flexible digital distribution that allows for simple exchanges of content, enabling service providers to implement common interpretation and integration of rights information. The standard targets interoperability to ensure that service providers and device manufacturers can easily exchange rights information across their current content management systems. It gives the high-level specification of the metadata for rights information interoperability (RII), defining the common semantics and core elements on RII. In other words, it finds the greatest common denominators in rights expressions (syntactic embodiments of rights) to encourage the mutual use of rights information.
The standard also specifies rights-related information – such as 'content ID', 'permission issuer ID' and 'permission receiver ID' – used to bridge between rights-related metadata. The rights information covered by ITU-T H.751 | IEC 62698 includes rights- and security-related metadata described in Recommendation ITU T H.750 High-level specification of metadata for IPTV services.

This is a story of the best intentions. And how, sometimes, they aren't enough. The Delta Queen Steamboat Co. wants families to think of its riverboat cruises in much the same way retirees already do—as a destination of choice. To that end, the company has created what it calls "riverbonding" cruises.
The idea is to bring families together with a different choice from the standard family cruise—those that offer separate daylong programs for kids and adults. Instead, the Delta Queen Steamboat Co. markets family cruises on the Mississippi River (we traveled from New Orleans to Natchez, Miss.) that focus on bringing families together. Each child chooses a board game to play while onboard and take home, along with a few day trips at ports of call for the whole family.
It's a great theory. The reality is the problem.
The folks at the company and the folks on the boat (and you don't call them ships if they only run on rivers, we learned) are all wonderfully nice. But they simply don't know how to serve families with children. They have had little or no experience.
Our trip was at the end of August. We spent a lovely 24 hours in New Orleans, with a stay at the fabulous Fairmont New Orleans just off the French Quarter, dinner at one of the city's finest restaurants and passes to its cultural attractions. We bypassed the aquarium and children's museum and opted for the touristy horse-drawn carriage tour of the French Quarter. The next day, we headed to the boat. Few other families Our first clue that this wasn't as kid-oriented as we expected came as we waited in line to board. The only other folks under 65 were two families, one with surly teenagers in tow and the other (thankfully) with kids about the same ages as my children Evan, 10, and Tess, 8.
On board the American Queen, my husband and I were enthralled with the $65 million Victorian-style steam-powered riverboat, with its 222 luxurious staterooms, opulent theater, incredible food and friendly staff. We settled into our stateroom for four (two skinny single beds and one double futon couch) and headed off, as instructed, to book our shore excursions before they sold out. Then came our second clue.
From the list of kid-friendly excursions, we chose the day trip to the Global Wildlife Center in Folsom, La. We were told we were the first—ever—to make that choice. The staff tour director assured us, however, that he would figure out some way to get us there, even if it meant the company had to hire a cab.
Sounded good—until the next morning when we got in the cab. About 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge, my daughter uttered the first "Are we there yet?" Our Jamaican cab driver responded: "Oh, no. We're not even halfway. Didn't they tell you how far it is?"
Turns out, the game preserve is 70 miles outside of Baton Rouge—or 120 miles if your cab driver misses the exit, as ours did. Was it worth it? Absolutely. We won't likely get another chance to have a giraffe eat out of our hands (see story page 30). But our resolve was tested on the way back, when the cab's air conditioning stopped working on a typically humid, 95-degree Louisiana day. After our experience, they decided to kill this trip. Bored kids
On the boat, the kids were disappointed to find the pool closed for maintenance for the first day of our three-day cruise; we were disappointed to find it difficult to bond over family games on the upper deck where we could enjoy the view and the breeze that cooled us but blew away the cards for the Clue game. The kids enjoyed the tour of the pilot house, making Mardi Gras masks during the craft hour and flying kites off the back of the boat. But they were turned off by the "Riverlorian" who offered lessons on the river history and riverboating. She had little patience when the children's questions distracted her from her planned lecture.
The riverbonding cruises, which feature kids' menus, various activities and the family oriented shore excursions, are offered throughout the summer and during the Thanksgiving and winter school breaks. The company accepts 20-25 families per cruise, limited by the number of cabins large enough to accommodate three or four people, according to spokeswoman Lucette Brehm.
On a final note, this is not a cheap vacation—a family of four could spend from $2,220 to $5,360 for a three-day cruise. My family and I cruised as guests of the Delta Queen, but a visit to the Web site offers a glimpse of the confusing pricing options—is it cheaper to choose the riverbonding price in which children under 18 travel free? Or should you go with the plan that offers 30 percent off each ticket, as one family of five did after spending nearly a week searching the Internet and talking with the Delta Queen booking agents?
Bottom line: This was a great trip for my husband and me. We loved the lazy moments (all too rare once you have kids) relaxing on the upper deck and watching the river flow. Our kids found much of it boring. So my advice is to leave the kids with grandma and spend time riverbonding with your spouse.

What about esophagitis and diet?
Diet is often a key to reducing the symptoms of esophagitis. The GERD diet is aimed at reducing acid reflux, the main cause of esophagitis.
- Eat low fat, high protein meals
- Avoid fatty foods
- Avoid spicy foods
- Avoid acidic foods and beverages such as citrus and tomatoes
- Avoid foods that may trigger or worsen heartburn including chocolate, mint, onions or garlic
- Eat smaller meals, more frequently
- Eat soft foods that are easily digested
- Stop eating before you feel full
- Avoid coffee or tea (even decaffeinated), alcohol, and soda
What options are there for pain relief for esophagitis?
Many over-the-counter medications can help neutralize stomach acid and provide short-term relief for the pain of esophagitis caused by acid reflux. Do not take these medications long-term. See a doctor if symptoms persist for more than two weeks.
Pain medications and medications that decrease inflammation such as corticosteroids can be used as adjuncts in the treatment of any inflammatory cause of esophagitis.
What are the complications of esophagitis?
If untreated, esophagitis caused by GERD can lead to bleeding, ulcers, and chronic scarring. This scarring can narrow the esophagus, eventually interfering with the ability to swallow.
A major complication, which occurs in a significant portion of people with chronic or longstanding GERD, is Barrett's esophagus, which increases the risk of esophageal cancer. A very few of those who develop Barrett's esophagus will develop esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Severe esophagitis may lead to difficult or painful swallowing, and malnutrition.

Complete Closure in Outlook
Do you know about the wonderful world of the F4 key? If anything at all, you probably at least already have knowledge of these two little tidbits:
Ctrl + F4 will close the file.
Alt + F4 will close the program.
I bet some of you have tried Ctrl + F4 in MS Outlook with an e-mail or appointment you had open, but got nowhere, right? Or, at least not where you hoped to be.
Did you figure you were just plain out of luck on that account?
I'm sure some of you did, but I've got some great news for you today!
In MS Outlook, it takes an Alt + F4 to close a currently open item.
It doesn't close the whole program, but it closes the message, calendar item, note, task or contact that is currently open.
Hit Alt + F4 again and Outlook will close completely.
So, remember, if you've got an item currently open in Outlook, it takes Alt + F4 twice to get complete closure!

Czech tourist survives polar bear attack on eve of Arctic eclipse
OSLO (Reuters) - A Czech tourist suffered slight injuries when a polar bear attacked him in a tent on an Arctic island off Norway on Thursday, the eve of a total solar eclipse that has drawn thousands of visitors.
Jakub Moravec, camping with five other tourists on a skiing and snowscooter trip, was flown by helicopter to hospital in Longyearbyen, the main settlement on Svalbard, with injuries to his arm, chest and face.
"I am happy, fine," Moravec, 37, told NRK public television from his hospital bed, saying he awoke to find the bear in the tent and fought to fend it off before a colleague drove the bear away by shooting and injuring it.
The bear, which had got through a fence put up by the tourists around their camp, was later shot dead by rescue crews.
Moravec said he only felt scared afterwards -- at the time, his thoughts were only "to save my head". He hoped to be out of hospital in time to see the eclipse on Friday morning.
The Norwegian Arctic islands of Svalbard, about 1,300 kms (800 miles) from the North Pole, and the Faroe Islands to the south are the only places on land from which viewers will be able to see the moon totally block the sun on Friday.
A partial eclipse will be visible across parts of Africa, Europe and Asia, briefly disrupting production of solar power in Europe as the sun dims.
Svalbard has warned tourists of the risks of bears and of bone-chilling temperatures, expected to be around -18 degrees Celsius (zero Fahrenheit) on Friday, with partly cloudy skies.
The archipelago is expecting about 2,000 visitors for the eclipse, on top of about 2,500 residents. The Faroe Islands expect about 8,000 visitors to swell their population of 50,000. Continued...

'92 Blazer getting no fuel :(
My brother has a '92 S10 Blazer 4.3 Vortec V6. Drove home from work today, ran fine according to him ( Plus I saw him drive in and seemed to be running fine ). He shut the truck off, and about 45 mins later he went to leave, it wouldn't start. It cranks and has spark. I've worked with cars for 15 years, but am still getting the grasp of fuel injection. Carbs are my specialty. I think it's the relay, because I don't hear that "click" or the whine of the fuel pump, or maybe a fuse? I could really use some help, thnx in advance. :welcome:
on the back of the motor where the fuel lines come in there is a fuel pressure test port. It will have a little black cap on it. Use it to check the fuel pressure. I dont have the spec for the pressure on hand, but if is too low the injectors wont spray.They are electronic injector solenoids with poppet style injectors. meaning even if the solenoid is turning on, the injector wont spray untill the pressure is high enough.
If there is no pressure then move on to checking the electrical system for its 2 second prime pulse from the ECM , then the OP switch circuit for maintaining pump voltage after start.Check for ANY pressure first.then go from there.
Sounds like fuel pump, common GM issue. Bang on the bottom of the tank while cycling the key on and off, Somtimes it will start and run, so you can get it in the shop or back to the house.
This post has been moved to the Modern Engine Electronics section. :D
92 blazer no fuel
if i remember correctly on that vehicle the fuel pump relay and ac relay are the same part number.if your blazer has ac you can switch relays to see if relay is problem.most likley fuel pump.Good Luck

simply assign the results of the replacement rule to a variable, i.e.,

So i thought i had a bad battery but turns out thats not the case, but still my protruck will not crank with good speed yet just rolls over really slow and the lights dim down when i do so, any suggestions on whats wrong?
print this...follow it... if you can get the engine running...perform tests 2, 3, 4 while cranking the engine... post results of all tests..engine running, headlights and other accessories on to create a load on the charging system.1..2..3..4..cranking1c.2c.3c.4c..please check the positive side also..battery positive battery post... to the starter post while cranking..results...i will check back for results..these tests will take you less than 15 minutes to perform all of them...it will take you another 10 minutes to post them...
and a secret...do you have a set of jumper cables???please perform the tests above and post results.. i have been at this for over 30 years and thats the tests i perform... as for the secret..take your jumper cables... attach both red and black on one end of the cables to the battery NEGATIVE TERMINAL... attach the other end.. both red and black clamps to the engine block...attempt to crank the engine. if it cranks easy.. you will find you have a disconnected or undersized ground cable .. that will also show up with this quick test..i have used this test.. when the negative cable was not even attached to the engine block to get the engine started..remember.. electrons flow from Negative to positive... if you don't have a good ground connection.. with the proper size wire.. you won't have enough electons to perform the job you are asking them to perform..the voltage drop test will show higher voltage across the bad connections..
Tyler18Whenever I wire a Race car Race Truck. I use either "0 gauge" or "1 gauge" battery cables. I ground both sides of the engine to the chassis, and so-on. Make sure there is NO Rust or Dirt under the battery terminals. You may think this is over-kill but it should get rid of the slow crank, and a slow cranking engine will wear the battery down, and damage the starter also, and it won't spin the engine fast enough to start it. Here's an old Racer's trick. Wire your Starter separate from your ignition. Once you get the engine cranking flip on the ignition on. You could also use the Ford starter solenoid set-up too. Jegs and Summit sell the kits. That helps keep the starter from kicking back and causing excessive currant draw. Make sure your battery is fully charged, Have a helper with you. Have the helper crank the engine on your command, while you watch a DVM to see if the Battery voltage drops. If the voltage goes below 10 VDC have the battery load tested, if it can't hold 12 VDC while cranking throw the battery away. If you have any questions ask. Check all those connections first! Bob

Ben Kingsley seeks Indian money for "Taj" in downturn

PANAJI, India (Reuters Life!) - British actor Ben Kingsley, best known for his Oscar-winning role as Mahatma Gandhi, is looking to India again, this time for financing for another historic Indian role -- Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.
Kingsley, 65, told Reuters that the film, titled "Taj," was a dream project for him, but one that would cost up to $27 million -- money he hopes Indian producers will put up despite the global economic downturn.
"I am hoping that Indian investors will show some interest in the film," he said in an interview in Goa, where he is attending the International Film Festival of India 2009.
"The reception I have got here in Goa since I arrived has convinced me that this country is special. Increasingly, I think a lot of Western directors are looking for funds in India, China and the East."
The global economic downturn has not affected Asian economic powerhouses such as India and China as much as the rest of the world, which Kingsley said meant Indian producers were likely to move faster on the project than counterparts in Britain or the United States.
"I don't expect a Western producer to understand the subject of the Taj the way an Indian producer might. Also, the Indian economy is growing at a fast pace, and I think a lot of people will now look to India for money," he added.
"Taj," which is being produced by Kingsley's company SBK Pictures, is about Shah Jahan and his quest to build the monumental Taj Mahal in memory of his third and favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to their 14th child.
Kingsley said he hoped Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the former Miss World and wife of Bollywood actor Abishek Bachchan, would play the role of Mumtaz. Continued...

I am using the default products page that comes with WP e-commerce plugin. However I can't get it to appear like the one on the live demo page. The products displayed are not vertically aligned, i.e., the prices and add to cart buttons at the bottom are up and down. In addition to that, if the price is longer (more digits), the add to cart button gets pushed down further so the price and button is not aligned within a product itself.
I hope these are simple settings that I have overlooked. I have followed the documentation to build the homepage but it didn't turn out the same. Thanks for any advice.
