This is a reissue of Ser. No. 08/159,665 filed Nov. 30, 1993, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,416,520.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the transmission of information over a communications path. More particularly, the present invention relates to the communications of high bandwidths information over networks of varying types.
2. Art Background
Until recently, telecommunications and computing were considered to be entirely separate disciplines. Telecommunications was analog and done in real time whereas computing was digital and performed at a rate determined by the processing speed of a computer. Today, such technologies as speech processing, electronic mail and facsimile have blurred these lines. In the coming years, computing and telecommunications will become almost indistinguishable in a race to support a broad range of new multimedia (i.e., voice, video and data) applications. These applications are made possible by emerging digital-processing technologies, which include: compressed audio (both high fidelity audio and speech), high resolution still images, and compressed video. The emerging technologies will allow for collaboration at a distance, including video conferencing.
Of these technologies, video is particularly exciting in terms of its potential applications. But video is also the most demanding in terms of processing power and sheer volume of data to be processed. Uncompressed digital video requires somewhere between 50 and 200 Mb/s (megabits per second) to support the real-time transmission of standard television quality images. This makes impractical the widespread use of uncompressed digital video in telecommunications applications.
Fortunately, there is considerable redundancy in video data, both in terms of information theory and human perception. This redundancy allows for the compression of digital video sequences into lower transmission rates. For some time, researchers have been aware of a variety of techniques that can be used to compress video data sequences anywhere from 2:1 to 1000:1, depending on the quality required by the application. Until recently, however, it was not practical to incorporate these techniques into low cost video-based applications.
A number of standards have been recently developed for such activities as video conferencing, the transmission and storage of standard high quality still images, as well as standards for interactive video playback to provide interoperability between numerous communications points. The standards recognize a need for quality video compression to reduce the tremendous amount of data required for the transmission of video information.
Two important methods of data compression for video information are used widely throughout the various standards for video communication. These are the concepts of frame differencing and motion compensation. Frame differencing recognizes that a normal video sequence has little variation from one frame to the next. If, instead of coding each frame, only the differences between a frame and the previous frame are coded, then the amount of information needed to describe the new frame will be dramatically reduced. Motion compensation recognizes that much of the difference that does occur between successive frames can be characterized as a simple translation of motion, caused either by the moving of objects in the scene or by a pan of the field of view. Rather than form a simple difference between blocks in a current frame and the same block in the previous frame, the area around those blocks can be searched in the previous frame to find an offset block that more closely matches the block of the current frame. Once a best match has been identified, the difference between a reference block in the current frame and the best match in the previous frame are coded to produce a vector that describes the offset of the best match. This motion vector then can be used with the previous frame to produce the equivalent of what the current frame should be. These methods, and others are incorporated into systems which make possible the rapid transmission of real-time video information.
As the worlds of telecommunications and computers blend closely together, the telecommunications aspects of communications will have to contend with some of the constraints of the computer world. Particularly, video conferencing over existing computer networks will prove a challenge in that maintaining real time information communication over traffic-burdened existing network protocols may prove insurmountable.
Current video algorithms assume a nearly constant bandwidth availability for the encoding of video information. This is evidenced by the use of only a single output buffer for traditional video encoder output. It is common to use the output buffer fullness as a feedback parameter for encoding subsequent images; i.e., with higher or lower levels of quantization. A well-known effect resulting from using a single output buffer is called "bit-bang" where the output buffer is over depleted by the interface to the communications channel, causing the feedback loop to indicate that the buffer can handle lots of data, which in turn causes the video compression algorithm to under optimize the subsequent image coding. The user perceives the bit-bang as an uneven quality and frame rate.
To alleviate bit-bang, the typical approach has been to limit the amount of data pulled out from the encoder video output buffer to a fraction of the total size of the output buffer; 10% to 30% is typical. This approach keeps the feedback indicator rather small, and encoding more uniform. The underlying assumption of this approach is that the communications channel will usually not be changing rapidly. Exceptions are caused by connectivity interruptions, such as burst errors, which are handled strictly as exceptions to the call. In a local area network (LAN), or other collision-sensing multiple access channel, or in other networks with burst characteristics (such as noisy RF channels), this underlying assumption no longer holds. Over these sorts of communications channels, unanticipated transmission delays may result in bit-bang problems which are not so readily overcome by limiting the size of the feedback buffer. Thus, video jerkiness will result in real-time video communication over such channels. It would be advantageous, and is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a video transmission mechanism which can be accommodated on such potential bursty networks.
From the foregoing, it can be appreciated that there is a need for a mechanism of incorporating real-time video data communication over traditional network protocols to smooth video transmission. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for the conveyance of video data over such networks as local area networks.
These and other objects of the present invention are provided by introducing feedback between the video CODEC and the intended communications channel such that the characteristics of the channel are used to drive multiple video output buffers. These multiple output buffers share an original temporal video reference, but have different subsequent temporal video images. The communications channel interface then picks the subsequent video image buffer that best matches the current conditions experienced by it. By using a predictor of the channel performance, the video algorithm can be tuned to provide video output buffers with the best guess of how the buffers should be configured. A number of subsequent histories of an image are buffered until the receiving channel indicates it is ready to receive the next. Then the appropriate output buffer having the corresponding temporal change in the video is used to supply the next frame change information to the receiving station.
The objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description in which:
A method and apparatus are described for the conveyance of real-time isochronous data over bursty networks. Although the present invention is described predominantly in terms of the transmission of video information, the concepts and method are broad enough to encompass the transmission of real-time audio and other data requiring isochronous data transfer. Throughout this detailed description, numerous details are specified such as bit rates and frame sizes, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. To one skilled in the art, however, it will be understood that the present invention may be practiced without such specific details. In other instances, well-known control structures and gate level circuits have not been shown in detail in order not to obscure unnecessarily the present invention. Particularly, some functions are described to be carried out by various logic circuits. Those of ordinary skill in the art, having been described the various functions will be able to implement the necessary logic circuits without undue experimentation.
From the capture buffer 22, the video information is processed by motion estimation circuitry 23. The motion estimation circuitry is used to generate motion vectors which describe the difference of a portion of a video image from the previously recorded image in terms of a translational offset. The motion estimation circuitry compares the currently decoded frame from the previous frame stored in the transmit reference image buffer 30 about which more will be described further herein. From the motion estimation circuitry, the outputs are the motion vectors and the motion compensated image 24. The motion compensated image 24 is then processed by the differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) circuitry 25 which generates digital information of the changes to the previously stored transmit reference image. Finally, a final stage of coding is done at transform coding block 26 which also performs quantization and run-length encoding. Run-length encoding is a technique for compressing data sequences that have large numbers of zeros and is well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art. This transform coder may perform a discrete cosine transform (DCT).
From the transform coding block, the coded sequence is propagated to the output buffer 27 which is used to maintain a constant bit rate for the output to the network. As was described, prior art methods used the output buffer fullness to regulate the degree of quantization that would be applied to the compressing and encoding circuitry because a constant bandwidth availability was assumed.
The transform coder block 26 also outputs the compressed image data to generate a new transfer reference image for storage in the transmit reference image buffer. The encoding logic provides the compressed image data to a decoding block 28 that has an inverse quantizer and inverse discrete cosine transform decoder which can be used to combine the decoded image data with the previously stored transfer reference image to yield a new transmit reference image which corresponds to the image that was most recently propagated on the network. It is this image data that would be used in calculating the changes in the image in sending the next frame of information. In other words, the transmit reference image, which is the same image that will be reconstructed at the other end by the video decoder, is used as the basis of subsequent encoding, including motion vectors and motion compensated image compression.
As was described in the previous section, the prior art feedback mechanism using the output buffer assumed a constant bit rate would be available for the transmission of information. This assumption no longer holds for video conferencing type devices which are on bursty networks such as CSMA LAN networks. The solution proposed by the present invention is to provide feedback between the video CODEC and the communications channel such that the characteristics of the channel are used to drive multiple video output buffers. These buffers share an original temporal video reference but will have different subsequent temporal video images. The communications channel interface then picks the subsequent video image buffer that best matches the current condition. By using a predictor of the channel performance, the video algorithm can be tuned to provide video output buffers with the best guess of how the buffers should be configured. Once a particular output buffer's image data is selected, the remaining buffers can be flushed to be refilled again based on a newly calculated transmit reference image. In the limit, the final action is to revert to an exception handler similar to current video CODECS, i.e., insert a key frame to restart the encoding of video data transmission.
The video encoder and camera circuitry described may be incorporated as part of a station that is on the network and are responsive to information received over the communications channel. When a given node again has the bus, the output buffer with the most current image may be signaled to transmit its information to the receiving node. Likewise, the channel information is used to then calculate the next transmit reference image for storage. The output buffers are then flushed and are again loaded in a time sequential manner until the data is again ready to be sent over the network. While four (4) output buffers are illustrated, this is purely for illustrative purposes in that as many buffers may be implemented as computing power and resources provide.

For video coding, more bandwidth could be used to get sharper images and/or higher frame rate. The actual data contained in the logical output buffers can be significantly different, too. For example, in video coding, the new transmit reference might be calculated from different input images in time and/or spatial resolution. Logical output buffer 1 might represent the data from an image taken 1/15th of a second later than transmit reference 0, while logical output buffer 2 might represent the differential coding from an image half a second later than transmit reference 0. Such an approach would be good for video coding for channels where the bit rate allocated to video may undergo extreme fluctuations such as in the bursty networks described above.
While with reference to
In a more general description of the present invention, reference is now made to FIG. 7. Information about a real-time object 100 that is desired to be conveyed from a transmitting node to a receiving node on some sort of network is shown. This real-time object 100 may be a video image or it may be a sound depending on the particular implementation. A capture mechanism 110 detects the real-time object and encodes it into electronic information. The capture mechanism may be a camera for video information as described above or a microphone or stereo microphones for audio information. This information is then processed by differential encoder 115 which compares the newly captured real-time object to the previously stored recorded object in transmit reference buffer 120. The differentially encoded data is then propagated to a logical output buffer 125 which operates as those described above. When the network clears the output buffers for transmission, the particular output buffer having the best information conveys it over the network and that same information is used to calculate a new transmit reference to be stored in transmit reference buffer 120.
There has thus been described a method and apparatus of differential coding for use in bursty transmission networks which greatly improves the quality of transmitted compressed information. Although the present invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, it will be appreciated that various modifications and alterations might be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The invention should, therefore, be measured in terms of the claims which follow.

TL;DR: Explorative paper. Learn a Triplet-ReID net, embed the full image. Keep embeddings of known tracks, correlate them with image embeddings and use that as measurement model in a Bayesian filtering tracker. MOT score is mediocre, but framework is theoretically pleasing.
With the rise of end-to-end learning through deep learning, person detectors and re-identification (ReID) models have recently become very strong. Multi-camera multi-target (MCMT) tracking has not fully gone through this transformation yet. We intend to take another step in this direction by presenting a theoretically principled way of integrating ReID with tracking formulated as an optimal Bayes filter. This conveniently side-steps the need for data-association and opens up a direct path from full images to the core of the tracker. While the results are still sub-par, we believe that this new, tight integration opens many interesting research opportunities and leads the way towards full end-to-end tracking from raw pixels.
Tracking people is a key technology for robots and intelligent systems in human environments. Many person detectors, filtering methods and data association algorithms for people tracking have been proposed in the past 15+ years in both the robotics and computer vision communities, achieving decent tracking performances from static and mobile platforms in real-world scenarios. However, little effort has been made to compare these methods, analyze their performance using different sensory modalities and study their impact on different performance metrics. In this paper, we propose a fully integrated real-time multi-modal laser/RGB-D people tracking framework for moving platforms in environments like a busy airport terminal. We conduct experiments on two challenging new datasets collected from a first-person perspective, one of them containing very dense crowds of people with up to 30 individuals within close range at the same time. We consider four different, recently proposed tracking methods and study their impact on seven different performance metrics, in both single and multi-modal settings. We extensively discuss our findings, which indicate that more complex data association methods may not always be the better choice, and derive possible future research directions.
Many multi-object-tracking (MOT) techniques have been developed over the past years. The most successful ones are based on the classical tracking-by-detection approach. The different methods rely on different kinds of data association, use motion and appearance models, or add optimization terms for occlusion and exclusion. Still, errors occur for all those methods and a consistent evaluation has just started. In this paper we analyze three current state-of-the-art MOT trackers and show that there is still room for improvement. To that end, we train a classifier on the trackers' output bounding boxes in order to prune false positives. Furthermore, the different approaches have different strengths resulting in a reduced false negative rate when combined. We perform an extensive evaluation over ten common evaluation sequences and consistently show improved performances by exploiting the strengths and reducing the weaknesses of current methods.
We present an ample description of a socially compliant mobile robotic platform, which is developed in the EU-funded project SPENCER. The purpose of this robot is to assist, inform and guide passengers in large and busy airports. One particular aim is to bring travellers of connecting flights conveniently and efficiently from their arrival gate to the passport control. The uniqueness of the project stems from the strong demand of service robots for this application with a large potential impact for the aviation industry on one side, and on the other side from the scientific advancements in social robotics, brought forward and achieved in SPENCER. The main contributions of SPENCER are novel methods to perceive, learn, and model human social behavior and to use this knowledge to plan appropriate actions in real- time for mobile platforms. In this paper, we describe how the project advances the fields of detection and tracking of individuals and groups, recognition of human social relations and activities, normative human behavior learning, socially-aware task and motion planning, learning socially annotated maps, and conducting empir- ical experiments to assess socio-psychological effects of normative robot behaviors.
We consider complementing Büchi automata by applying the Ramsey-based approach, which is the original approach already used by Büchi and later improved by Sistla et al. We present several heuristics to reduce the state space of the resulting complement automaton and provide experimental data that shows that our improved construction can compete (in terms of finished complementation tasks) also in practice with alternative constructions like rank-based complementation. Furthermore, we show how our techniques can be used to improve the Ramsey-based complementation such that the asymptotic upper bound for the resulting complement automaton is 2^O(n log n) instead of 2^O(n2).

What: Washington Huskies (13-9, 5-4) at UCLA Bruins (16-6, 6-3)
When: Thursday, 6 p.m. PT
Where: Pauley Pavilion
Radio: AM 570
Scouting the Bruins: UCLA will have had eight days to reflect on what has been going wrong after losing to USC in its last game on Jan. 30. That was the third loss in four games for the Bruins and the second in a row after a promising win at Arizona on Jan. 24. The Bruins lead the Pac-12 in scoring with 76.8 points per game and are second with a 46.5 shooting percentage, but those numbers are down to 70.5 points and 41.5 percent over the last four games. Jordan Adams, a 45 percent shooter for the season, is shooting only 38.8 percent over the last four, and Kyle Anderson is shooting only 32.4 percent during the recent slide. The Bruins are also struggling defensively, having allowed opponents to shoot 44.3 percent from the field over the last four games and have held only one of its last four opponents under 45 percent. Freshman Shabazz Muhammad leads the Bruins in scoring at 18.4 points per game and is coming off of a 22-point effort against USC despite battling flu symptoms. Travis Wear returned from a concussion and scored 16 points against USC. He's averaged 18.25 points on 61.2 percent shooting in the last four full games he has played.
Scouting the Huskies: Washington has been among the streakiest teams in the Pac-12 since conference play began. The Huskies started league play with four consecutive wins -- three of them on the road -- and then proceeded to lose four in a row before ending that streak with a win over Arizona State on Saturday. The Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of the team reared its head over the weekend when Washington scored a season-low 53 points in a loss to Arizona and then scored a season-high 96 in defeating the Sun Devils. The Huskies average 69.9 points per game, but defense has been the biggest issue for them. They are giving up 67.3 points per game, which is 10th in the Pac-12, and they are allowing opponents to shoot a conference-worst 43.5 percent from the field. Aziz N'Diaye, a 7-foot center, is among the conference's top rebounders with 9.3 per game and sharpshooting guard C.J. Wilcox is fifth in the conference with 18.2 points per game. He leads the conference with 55 3-pointers made. Four Washington players average in double figures scoring with guards Scott Suggs (12.2) and Abdul Gaddy (11.1) joining Wilcox and N'Diaye (10.7).
The series: UCLA leads the all-time series, 92-40. The teams split the season series last year with Washington winning, 71-69, in Seattle and UCLA winning, 75-69, in the regular-season finale at the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
Fast Fact: UCLA will retire the No. 11 jersey of Don Barksdale at halftime of the game. Barksdale, a 6-6 forward/center, was a pioneer for his race in basketball. He became the first African-American to be named a collegiate All-American when he earned the honor in 1947. He broke the color barrier for the U.S. Olympic basketball team in 1948 and in 1953 became the first black player to play in an NBA All Star game. Barksdale, who died in 1993, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and joins Reggie Miller and Jamaal Wilkes as players to have their numbers retired by UCLA this year.

I have a 21 month old child who is showing signs of being ready to transition to the next room. However she was moved back to my room two months ago because she was hurt in the older room by another child and the Dad doesn't want her in that room.
She is getting too old for my room and is needing to be able to interact with older children and be encouraged by her peers in the next room to further her development.
The Dad is very blunt and has said that he does not want her to move up while the other child is present (the other child has developmental delays and is not ready at all to move rooms).
How do i help support the Dad in gaining his confidence that his daughter will thrive if she is given the chance to move up? I am stuck on how to deal with him.
Please Help!!!!

Nikkei Falls 7.3%, Most in Two Years
HONG KONG—Asian stock markets fell Thursday, with Japan's Nikkei index tumbling the most in two years following a downbeat reading of Chinese manufacturing and signs that the U.S. Federal Reserve could pull back on its bond-buying in coming months.
It was volatile day across the region. Japanese stocks rose early but reversed after the release of a report showing that Chinese manufacturing activity contracted this month, heightening concerns about the health of the world's second-largest economy.
The preliminary HSBC China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index fell to a seven-month low of 49.6 for May, HSBC Holdings said Thursday. A reading below 50 indicates that manufacturing activity contracted. The report hit China-related shares hard. In Japan, Komatsu Ltd. fell 7.5%, while automated machinery maker Fanuc tumbled 5.2%.
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's statement on Wednesday that the Fed might decide at one of its "next few meetings" to start pulling back on its bond purchases, or quantitative easing, contributed to the sour mood.
The Nikkei Stock Average lost 1,143.28 points, or 7.3%, to 14,483.98. That was its biggest one-day fall by percentage since the immediate aftermath of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Elsewhere, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 2.5% to 22,669.68, while South Korea's Kospi Composite fell 1.2% to 1,969.19 and the Shanghai Composite Index dropped 1.2% to 2,275.67.
The selloffs followed strong gains in recent months for many Asian markets, especially in Tokyo, and some analysts said a pullback was due. "All of Asia has had such huge gains, so we had to have a correction sooner or later," said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at AMP Capital in Sydney.
Technical analysts pointed to the Nikkei's rise to more than 10% above its 25-day moving average as a sure sign of an overbought market waiting for an excuse to correct.
"The upward pitch of the market, particularly since May 10, rang many alarm bells and frankly seemed to defy gravity," said Kenichi Hirano, a market adviser at Tachibana Securities.
Mr. Bernanke's comments also led to a selloff in U.S. Treasurys that spilled over to Japan, where the yield on 10-year Japanese government bonds climbed above 1%, its highest in more than a year. Yields move inversely to bond prices.
Real estate developers, banks, and brokerages were hit by the jump in yields, which followed the Bank of Japan's announcement on Wednesday that it will maintain its own current bond-buying program but won't take additional action to depress yields. A rise in long-term interest rates raises property developers' borrowing costs and worsens paper losses at financial institutions, which hold large troves of the bonds.
Sumitomo Realty & Development fell 12%, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group dropped 9.3% and Nomura Holdings fell 8.2%.
The dollar's fall to below ¥102 also prompted selling of Japanese stocks. The dollar fell to as low as ¥101.43 in late afternoon trading, down more than two yen from a morning high of ¥103.57.
Risk-sensitive Asian currencies and the Australian dollar also struggled. The U.S. dollar jumped to 1,127.44 against the South Korean won from 1,114.0 late Wednesday in Seoul, while the Australian dollar dropped to US$0.9605, a one-year low.
The weak China manufacturing data and the yen's rebound hit exporters in Tokyo. Kyocera Corp. slid 14%, Shin-Etsu Chemical dropped 8.0%, and Sony Corp lost 5.7%.
In Sydney, the disappointing China data hit resources stocks. BHP Billiton PLC, Rio Tinto PLC, Newcrest Mining Ltd. and Fortescue Metals Group all fell by 1%-2.8%.

On Saturday 8th October Melanie Girlis announced that Philip Hoffman's Fine Art Fund Group has rebranded as The Fine Art Group and launched an art loans operation.
"Founder and chief executive Philip Hoffman says that the rebrand reflects the firm's broader offering, including the seven investment funds that he continues to manage. The group has also been running an art advisory service for the past few years. The new art lending business is headed by Freya Stewart, who has worked as a finance lawyer, and as senior legal counsel at Christie's. Stewart says she expects to offer relatively low rates — and a loan-to-value level of up to 50 per cent, which is high for the art market — because the group will be using its own invested equity capital, and because it already has an in-house team of art experts."

Across the Manosphere I've been slowly noticing more and more the word Hypergamy starting to take on a slight sense of insult. It's starting to get a slight sense of slut shaming but it slips under the radar because of the bigger words.
Most women have an attraction to men with wealth and power. The more wealth and power a man has, the more attractive he can become in the eyes of women. Given enough wealth and power the man can in fact be quite old and ugly and a good cross section of women will find themselves attracted to him. This is referred to as Female Hypergamy and it's completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
This is why rock stars, presidents, college professors yada yada yada get laid more than high school music teachers, assistant managers and the guy that does the book binding repairs in the college library. I don't think I need to harp on about this, because it's really pretty freaking obvious. It's all just basic Sex Rank stuff here.
All Female Hypergamy means is that any woman is going to be attracted to men (as least in a general sense) who have a Sex Rank equal or higher than her own. I.e. a Female 5 is going to find a Male 5 attractive, but also Male 6 though 10 are viewed as attractive too. All women find a Male 10 attractive, they just don't tend to think they have much of a chance at landing one of them as a long term mate. I mean back in the day they might have thrown their underwear at rock stars, but after the third front man just looks at her and doesn't even sniff them, the reality starts to sink in that even with really pretty underwear it's an awful long shot. It's like the bass player or nothing. So in the sexual marketplace they end up "settling†for a Male 5. I say settling, but it really is a fair exchange of a Female 5 for a Male 5.
But if she could say land a Male 6 or 7 as a permanent mate, she's going to be very tempted to jump ship. That's when we use the word Hypergamy to call her a whore. Though in fact this is just the natural functioning of the sexual marketplace and by all accounts human sexuality working as intended.
Men are also hypergamous. A Male 5 is pretty much going to want to throw his dick into anything Female 5 or higher. Essentially all men find a Female 10 sexually interesting. We just don't all think we can land one as a permanent partner. I'd love to get much better acquainted with Nicole Kidman for example. But rather than repeatedly express my interest in her by mailing photographs of me smiling and holding the latest restraining order against my chest, I've managed my resources carefully and "settled†for Jennifer. Then thanks to the miracle of sexual chemistry and oxytocin release from orgasm, Jennifer just loves me for it. Thanks biology!
However should Nicole Kidman start returning my calls, texts, emails, flowers, chocolates and skywriting… I'm going to be very tempted to jump ship. That's when we use the word Hypergamy to mean that I am in fact totally awesome. Though in fact this is just the natural functioning of the sexual marketplace and by all accounts human sexuality working as intended. Hmmm… maybe there's still hope… I still haven't tried talking to Nicole Kidman via crop circles.
Disclaimer: No Nicole Kidman's have been harmed in writing this post. Nothing can happen between us anyway, she's from Australia and I still wish to stay in my New Zealand parents' will.

...it's the amount I send.
This was brought home to me five minutes ago. I'm sat at home, digging my way out of my inbox (trying to reach Zero Email Bounce), and somehow I ended up in my Sent Items folder. "Wow", I thought, "that seems kinda full".
One Outlook search folder later (sent:today from:me) and I'm stunned to find that I've sent 47 emails today. Of those, 45 have been work-related. I'd need to average one email every 10 minutes, with another 10 minutes off for lunch, to send those during an 8-hour work day. And yet I also squeezed in three meetings, several hallway discussions, and some work on our team infrastructure.
At least now I know where the day went.
(If you want to learn how to cope with incoming email, I like Stever Robbins' "Tips for Mastering E-mail Overload" and Ole Eichorn's "The Tyranny of Email". If anyone knows how to cut down on sending email, I'm all ears. Although "stop working with interesting projects and passionate people" isn't an option!)

Lifereef VS2 & VS3 Series Venturi Protein Skimmers, WITH CVC and Keyholed Flanges! View Product
All our protein skimmers come COMPLETE with water pump (or can be purchased less pump), hoses, clamps, fittings, ball and gate valves, cup drain kit, and a very efficient venturi air injector system with the Constant Venturi Cleaning setup.

Sherwood pleased with Many Clouds despite Ascot defeat
Many Clouds remains on target for Cheltenham despite suffering defeat at Ascot on Saturday.
Last Updated: 16/02/14 1:42pm
Trevor Hemmings' gelding has looked a bright prospect over fences this season, winning well at Wetherby and Carlisle, and for much of the way in the Grade Two event it looked to be between him and Gevrey Chambertin.
But David Pipe's grey ran out of steam and Many Clouds was picked off by O'Faolains Boy close home.
Trainer Oliver Sherwood said: "I was delighted, [as delighted as I could be] without winning.
"He's A1 today, not a bother on him.
"He jumped fantastically, the best I've seen him, and I don't know whether he and Gevrey set it up for the other horse a bit, but I was still delighted.
"I'd imagine he'll go for the RSA - he has given 4lb to the winner there so deserves his place - but I haven't yet spoken to Trevor or his racing manager Mick Meagher to see what they want to do."
Many Clouds is 16/1 chance for the RSA Chase with Sky Bet.

Dumb question--why does anybody have to win? If this is lamentation, you have my sympathies :-). Auburn HAS to win out to prove they can do it. It's possible, I am praying for that, but what a great time we have had this year.

frozen coconut limeade
New York City is a terrible place to summer. Whereas some water-bound towns have cool breezes rolling in off the ocean all day, we can better rely on the hot exhale of garbage trucks. Offices are set to roughly the same temperature as a polar ice cap, but subway platforms are so unfathomably sweltering that on my first day in NYC 14 years ago, I — adorably, like the wee baby New Yorker I was — uttered the words, "Is this even legal?" It's a rare day that you don't walk down the sidewalk and have a window a/c unit drip you-don't-want-to-know run-off on your head. Flip-flops may cool your feet outside, but you may never recover from seeing the new color of your toes at the end of a day, and it always seems like everyone but me has Summer Fridays. The city tries, it really does, to make things more livable: the 14 beaches are free, there are dozens and dozens of free public pools, something like a zillion sprinkler parks, and you know all those endless photos you see of children frolicking in spraying fire hydrants? Hardly a symbol urban decay, it's actually legal and encouraged. But the fact is that from July 4th on (and possibly earlier this year), anyone that has the means to be elsewhere is, and the rest of us plebes schvitz it out on the pavement.
And this summer, we're going to do it grandly. We are going to embrace the heat. We are going to pretend we are someplace tropical and glamorous. Our summer house awaits… uh, in the blender.
My editor went to Colombia in March and came back ecstatic that she'd found the MOST DELICIOUS BEVERAGE EVER (all caps, even, from an editor so you know it was major), limonada de coco, which is essentially coconut milk, lime juice, sugar and ice ground together into what I'd probably call coconut limeade slushie but sounds, like most things, much more glamorous in Spanish. And yes, you can put rum in it too. But we did not. My son decided one hour into yesterday's 90 degree morning yesterday that he'd had eee-nufff of the heat and of having an Ace bandage on his sprained ankle and no, he would not, could not, stop yelling. I hear you, kid, I really do. And so we decided that only a South American brain freeze would make things better and look, I don't mean to oversell them, I don't, but you must believe me when I tell you: this drink solves everything. It will make the stickiest weather seem bearable, it will make you feel like you're on vacation when you're not, and it will make you wish sandal season were longer, if only it meant you could have one of these a day.
Frozen Coconut Limeade (Limonada de Coco)
This drink is as tart as a good glass of lemonade and as refreshing as a slushie with the decadence of a milkshake. It's barely sweet, simple as written and, I imagine, endlessly tweakable with whatever sounds good to you. I don't think it would be unwelcome with mango or pineapple chunks blended in. I bet you could use canned cream of coconut (the sweet stuff) or sweetened condensed milk as a sweetener instead of sugar. You could add cinnamon or nutmeg on top, Caribbean-style. You could add white rum, grownup-style. You could make it sweeter, kid-style. But we had it just like this, and we're going to do it again all summer.
- 2 1/2 cups crushed or small ice cubes
- 1 cup coconut milk, well-shaken if from a can
- 1/3 cup lime juice (from about 3 limes)
- 3 tablespoons granulated or superfine sugar (more or less to taste)
- Lime slices for garnish

(CBS/AP) Greg Oden is no stranger to knee trouble. Twice in recent years the Portland Trail Blazers center was betrayed by his knees, and now they've done it again. Bigtime.
Oden, the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, will miss the season after having microfracture surgery on his left knee, the team said yesterday in a press conference.
"This young man is devastated about not having the opportunity to play this season, being so close to getting back on the floor and just all of a sudden, this situation comes up and it's like, here we go again for him," Portland coach Nate McMillan said.
Oden's rookie year was postponed because of similar surgery on his right knee, and last season he needed surgery after breaking his left kneecap early in December.
Oden's latest surgery is scheduled for Friday in Vail, Colo. He'll have so-called microfracture surgery to repair damaged cartilage that is unrelated to the kneecap injury, the team said.
In the procedure, a surgeon makes a small incision in the knee and then uses a surgical awl to make small holes (microfractures) in the bone near the damaged cartilage. The holes cause the bone to release cartilage-making cells, which then build new cartilage.
Athletes who undergo the procedure can generally return to their sport in about four months, though those in very intense sports may not be able to return to their former level of competition.
Oden had just started easing into practices when the latest knee issue was discovered. He has played in only 82 games during his NBA career, missing 176.
The Blazers host Denver on Thursday and Utah on Saturday.
Without Oden.

Thanks for the update. I am so sorry that Shelley is having such a rough time. Why in the world dont the Dr listen to us when we tell them we are having problems ? We know our bodies and they need to listen to us !!
Please tell Shelley I send my love
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.
Proverbs 27:9
Hoping by now there is more good news from Shelley. Also hoping she does not get the flu. It is making it's way around my part of the country too. So far I am avoiding it, but hate to brag too loudly.
Hugs for Shelley and thanks Joyce for the updates.
Love, Kitty

Church protests at attacks on religious in China
In response to reports that a community of nun in Xi'an and six priests in Zhengding have suffered violent attacks, the Holy See Press Office Director Joaquin Navarro-Valls made the following declaration yesterday: "Over these days, news agencies have reported two disconcerting events carried out against, respectively, the Franciscan Sisters in Xi'an and six priests in the diocese of Zhengding. "These news items, though it is not possible to verify the exact details of their circumstances, provoke pain and disapproval. "The violence practised in Xi'an against a number of defenceless nuns cannot but be firmly condemned. And the detention of six priests of Zhengding, like the earlier detentions of priests in other localities, is also a cause for grave concern. As on earlier occasions, the reasons for the coercive measures inflicted upon them are unknown." Source: VIS

Tony Pulis has echoed Sean Dyche's sentiments that foreign managers are viewed through rose-tinted glasses compared to their beleaguered British counterparts.
Pulis and Dyche, among a dwindling number of homegrown managers operating in the Premier League, will meet when West Bromwich Albion host Burnley on Monday.
Back in August, ahead of Burnley's return to the top flight, Dyche suggested overseas managers were unfairly placed on a pedestal.
"They questioned me for playing a 4-4-2," Dyche said of his last Premier League campaign.
"And then everyone played it last year and it was 'amazing Claudio Ranieri, amazing, tactical genius'.
'Jurgen Klopp came in and played sort of a 4-4-2 and let's run really hard and press, people thought it was incredible.
"'Wasn't Sean Dyche doing that years ago when he got here? Oh well'."
Saido Berahino's statement
And Pulis has sympathy with the Englishman's opinion.
"That's the way it is, they come into the country, they're sexy, they're new, they're bright," the Welshman said.
"That's fine, brilliant, not a problem for me.
"I'll listen to them, they say Klopp trains them three times a day in pre-season, absolutely amazing.
"I'd never have thought of that.
"That's what Sean's on about, they do stuff that is astonishing that we've 'never heard of'."
Not since Howard Wilkinson's Leeds United conquered all before them in 1992 has an English manager lifted the Premier League.
It's over 20 years since a British manager other than Sir Alex Ferguson led a team to the title - with Kenny Dalglish prevailing at Blackburn Rovers in 1995.
And Pulis does not believe that barren sequence is down to a dearth of homegrown managerial talent, more a lack of opportunities at the so called bigger clubs.
"The disappointment over the past few years is the managers who've gone into the bigger clubs, take Sir Alex out it, Brendan was close to winning a title but didn't win a title,"
"Mark Hughes had a go at Man City but didn't do it.
"Mancini came in and did it, now Klopp looks like he could do it at Liverpool.
"We could've done with someone stepping in to that top six.
"And then taking it on to win something - and that hasn't happened.
"I'm sure other people will get the chance, and when they do you hope they end up winning something.
"We need that, we need a British manager who's going to win things.
"Young managers, like Sean if he continues like this, everyone talks about Eddie (Howe) at Bournemouth.
"The younger ones coming through might get a chance and that opportunity at an Arsenal or Tottenham, or wherever they come around next."
The standard and depth of the current crop of elite level homegrown managers has recently come under scrutiny while the FA has sought to find an English successor to Sam Allardyce.
Gareth Southgate looks odds-on to get the job, partly because of his performance over the four-game trial period and partly because there are so few alternatives.
But the main accusation levelled against Southgate is the fact he has never won anything as a manager.
"I like Gareth, he studied and worked hard as a coach," Pulis added.
"He had good times at Middlesbrough even though they went down.
"It's right that having given him the chance they now go with him.
"Wash everything else away and back the lad."

These moist pumpkin zucchini muffins are a flavorful recipe for a morning catching up with the besties or relaxing with the fam! Curl up with a blanket, cup of joe, and a good book, light an autumn scented candle, and let the goodness begin!
There's nothing quite like waking up to the sweet smell of pancakes. While it's easy to buy a box of pancake mix, it's almost just as easy to make your own! That way you get no questionable ingredients and can customize them to your liking!
There was a time in my life when I literally ate muffins ALL THE TIME. No joke. Freshman year of college was a muffin bonanza for me because the muffins they had at college were, dare I say, the bomb. Not the healthiest obsession, but hey, I didn't care at the time. Muffins speak to all your emotions. When you're sad, they comfort you. When you're happy, they rejoice with you. When you're hungry, they mask that hunger with their muffiny goodness.
Sometimes breakfast can seem a bit mundane. We all have our favorite go-to breakfast foods that we reach for on busy mornings, but sometimes it's fun to change things up a bit! You don't have to go all out to create amazing dishes; sometimes all it takes is a few flavoring tweaks! Today I'm taking your sweet potatoes from drab to fab!
What's my morning routine like? I'm actually one of those rare people that wakes up way earlier than is necessary and just putzes around my apartment. That doesn't mean I'm productive, though! I just hate being rushed. My morning workout sometimes hits the wayside, but breakfast is one of the things I never go without!

Trilantic Capital Partners has Successfully Realized its Ownership Stake in Industria de Turbo Propulsores S.A.
Madrid, Spain – February 10, 2010 – Following a successful partnership, Trilantic Capital Partners ("TCP") has sold its interest in Industria de Turbo Propulsores S.A ("ITP" or the "Company") to existing investor Sener Grupo de Ingeniería S.A. ("Sener").
ITP, headquartered in Spain, is a leading aircraft engine components manufacturer and maintenance services provider, specializing in the design, development and manufacturing of low pressure turbines and other components for civil engines (Airbus 330/340/350/380, Boeing 777/787) as well as participating in all major European programs for military aircraft and helicopters (notably the EJ200 engine powering the Eurofighter).
In September 2004, TCP partnered alongside Sener, a leading engineering Spanish group, and Socade, the venture capital arm of the Basque regional government, in the buyout of the entire indirect 27% participation of the Spanish Government in ITP. TCP's and Socade's investments enabled the Company to continue to develop strong research and development capabilities, its production capacity and an increasing and balanced participation in civil and military markets.
During TCP's investment period, ITP has successfully established itself as an integrator from its previous supplier role, becoming the largest risk and revenue sharing partner of Rolls Royce, which will result in one out of every two wide-body planes to be delivered in the next 20 years worldwide having a low pressure turbine designed and developed by ITP.

Master Yi Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Tank Master Yi... Who would have thought it was possible even without having to go AP!
I am writing this guide as a quick reference to receive feedback. I would like people to try it out and get back to me letting me know their experience. I eventually will create quite a nice guide with fancy pictures and all that fun stuff, but for now I just want to get the concept out there.
Masteries: 0 / 21 / 9
Defensive Build because I am making Yi a Tank... Need I say more?
Marks: Armor Penetration
Seals: Mana Regen / Level
Glyphs: Magic Resist / Level
Quints: Flat Hit Points
Armor Penetration with this build is important because most of your damage early game comes from Wuju Style. Since you are not buffing your damage until you purchase Atma's Impaler, it is important to have that extra Armor Penetration. Other Runes are standard for most tanks.
Core Build:
Start the game with Doran's Shield and 1x Health Potion. Take mid if possible! Its better to level fast using this build because your damage will be high with Wuju Style early game. Use Alpha Strike whenever its up to farm. This build is expensive so good farming practice is a must. With Doran's Shield you are also quite robust, so don't be afraid to stay engaged in a fight on your lane. Most likely you will be the one walking away with higher health and first blood.
Analyze the team you are facing. If they are mixed between AP and DPS, or they are mostly AP, your next item will be Mercury's Treads. This is the case 90% of the time. On the off chance they are all DPS, your next item will be Ninja Tabi.
After purchasing your boots, next stop is Warmog's Armor. This is where your opponents haven't noticed what you are doing yet. Once Warmog's Armor is complete, be aggressive! You will be surprised how much damage you can take... Most times, opponents still won't understand why it is so hard to bring you down.
Here's where it gets fun! After getting your Warmog's Armor, get Atma's Impaler... Hell will break loose! Your damage will be average, but your survivability will be through the roof! Start engaging in team fights. Most times your opponents will focus you... well... that's because your Yi... Soon as they focus on you, pop Alpha Strike on their weakest link. Start hitting them with Wuju Style and pop Highlander if you can score a kill. When you get to about a 1/4 health use Meditate. With this build, you are invincible with Meditate.
After Core Build:
Most of the time I find myself getting Banshee's Veil, Force of Nature, Madred's Bloodrazor, Sunfire Cloak, or Thornmail next. (Any one of these depending on the opponents will do fine.) The build I show above is what a Damage Focused Yi would look like. I assume most people would prefer to play him this way. If not, just substitute the Madred's Bloodrazor and/or Phantom Dancer with different defensive items. (Magic resist if they have a heavy caster team or armor if they have a heavy DPS team.) Between Atman's Impaler and Madred's Bloodrazor, you should be a force to be reckoned with. For my final item I just try to get more health since people are doing more damage now. I like to get Frozen Mallet, but you can get Rylai's Crystal Scepter as well for AP to be used in conjunction with Meditate and Alpha Strike. Either or is a very good choice, I just like to have the extra health for Atman's Impaler.
I do realize this is an expensive build, but I rarely have a problem getting most of the items. Just remember to never stop farming. Resist the urge to run across the map to gank, because your income is more important. Tank Yi does not work without items!
Yi really is a versatile character and possibly one of the best champions in the game. The beauty of this build is once you have the core, you can either continue to increase his Tank ability or increase his DPS ability. I will leave that up to you.
Please give it a try and let me know what you think!
