Finance Latest News: Kabel Deutschland Shares Rise on Takeover Interest

Shares in Germany's biggest cable operator are up after Kabel Deutschland received a preliminary takeover proposal from U.S. firm Liberty Global. Stocks are opening higher on Wall Street after the pace of home construction picked up in May, the latest encouraging sign from the housing market. President Barack Obama hinted in an interview that he may be looking for a new chief of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, saying Ben Bernanke has stayed a lot longer than the current chairman had originally planned.

Behavioral targeting is a lifeline for advertisers who want to make sure their ads are seen by the right audiences and drive the highest return on investment. However, consumers aren't on board with behavioral targeting. They see it as an invasion of privacy. The Digital Advertising Alliance is trying to change that negative consumer perception with a new campaign, website, and "Advertising Options" icon pictured to the left.
The series of ads show a banner ad trying to find the right customers who actually want to find him, too. You can see one of those ads below.
The new Advertising Options icon will appear in all partner ads where behavioral targeting is used. The icon is described on the new AdChoices.com website as follows:
"It's a clear sign that companies are trying to make the Web ads you see better reflect your online interests. It's there to keep you informed about how and why ads are being made more relevant for you."
The new icon is being promoted as a way for consumers to control whether they see ads that use behavioral targeting or not. If a consumer sees the Advertising Options icon on an online ad, he can click on it to get information about the companies that provide "interest-based ads" on that website. If the consumer doesn't want to see interest-based ads, he can click through to a special consumer choice page where he can opt out of interest-based ads from the companies that participate in the Advertising Options program. Consumers can also navigate directly to AboutAds.info/choices to review the status of their choices. Unfortunately, consumers won't be able to opt out of behavioral targeting from advertisers that don't participate in the Advertising Options icon program using the website or icon.
A clever series of YouTube videos further explains what the icon is, what interest-based advertising is, and how to use the icon. In the latter video, which you can watch below, an important message is hyped within the first 15 seconds — online advertising pays for all the free content and tools people get on the Internet. It's another clever way to spin interest-based advertising as a positive thing for consumers.
Hundreds of advertisers are already participating in the program (you can see them all in the online directory here) and more are likely to join. The question is how effective the Digital Advertising Alliance's attempt at spinning behavioral targeting into a benefit for consumers rather than a privacy violation will be. It's a good idea but this is a battle that's likely to continue for years to come. What do you think?

|No. 16 Kansas looks to kickstart ground game
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 02 October 2008 22:32
The 16th-ranked Jayhawks do, in fact, run the football. Their ground game just seems invisible so far.
Kansas (3-1) is averaging just 119 yards rushing a game, on a paltry 3.4 yards per carry. The Jayhawks have been able to make do so far by relying largely on star quarterback Todd Reesing, but even teams in the high-flying Big 12 must show some semblance of a running attack.
That's why the Jayhawks, who open Big 12 play at Iowa State (2-2) on Saturday, spent their bye week trying to shore up a lagging ground game.
``Practices were long and they were tough. We pushed ourselves to the limits and tried to do whatever we could to get the running game going,'' Kansas running back Angus Quigley said. ``We knew we had to get better. We are nowhere near where we need to be.''
ayhawks ran the ball more than they threw it, and averaged 4.8 yards a carry doing so. Since-departed tailback Brandon McAnderson took much-needed pressure off of Reesing, rushing for 1,135 yards, and the Jayhawks are still looking for someone to fill that void.
That role now belongs to Quigley, who started in place of Jake Sharp last week and will do so again Saturday. Of course, a strong running game is as much a product of the offensive line as anything else, and coach Mark Mangino believes the extra week of practice helped there as well.
``I feel good about our backs. I feel that they have a better understanding of what is going on. I think we have cleaned some things up here and there to help them out,'' Mangino said. ``But more than anything, the offensive line has improved and has to continue to improve.''
Kansas likely won't have a better chance to get their running game going than against the Cyclones, who rank 10th in the Big 12 in rushing defense and are allowing a league-high 5.3 yards per carry.
But those that think the Cyclones are the same woeful outfit won three Big 12 games in the past two seasons might be in for a surprise. Though Iowa State has dropped its last two, road losses at Iowa and UNLV, the Cyclones have looked more in synch in their second season under coach Gene Chizik.
, forcing 13. Quarterbacks Austen Arnaud and Phillip Bates have proven to be a solid 1-2 punch, completing 60 percent of their passes with 256 yards rushing.
The Cyclones have their own issues running the ball, as none of their top three tailbacks; Alexander Robinson, J.J. Bass and Jason Scales, are averaging more than 3.5 yards per carry. But in losing an overtime heartbreak at UNLV, Chizik saw glimpses of the team he believes Iowa State can become.
The Cyclones fell behind 21-0 against a Rebels squad fresh off a huge win at Arizona State. Iowa State rallied with 28 second-half points and forced overtime on a 28-yard TD pass from Arnaud with 3 seconds left in regulation.
``The second half was the way we envisioned playing football for 60 minutes,'' Chizik said. ``You can build on scoring 28 points in a half. You can build on having 300 yards of offense in a half.''
The Cyclones might have to do that in both halves if they want to keep up with Kansas. The Jayhawks have outscored Iowa State 86-17 in their last two meetings, and Reesing threw for 253 yards and four touchdowns in just three quarters during last year's rout.
``We have to score 30 to 40 points to win this game because Kansas is going to score at will. It's one of those teams where, if you don't score early, the points are going to start piling up,'' Arnaud said. ``They know how to score.''

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to image input apparatuses used to process images formed on films and the like through use of transmitted illumination.
2. Description of the Related Art
Image input apparatuses are well known. In fact, many image input apparatuses are configured in a manner to include illumination units to illuminate and to guide illuminating light towards a "transmitting original." Moreover, such image input apparatuses often include scanning units comprising carriages which provide support structures to support the transmitting original during processing. Additionally, projection units are often used as reading units for imaging transmitted light on a line sensor (e.g., a charged coupled device or "CCD").
Typically, the light illuminated from an illumination unit is condensed into a linear form on the transmitting original, and after transmission through the original, is imaged on a CCD. The transmitted light is read a line at a time to produce a sequence of data (e.g., digital data related to the transmitting original). After a line has been read, a scanning unit performs a movement of a line, thereby changing the position of the transmitting original, and reading is again performed. By repeating this kind of reading and movement over a series of times, the scanning of an image surface is successfully performed.
A typical image input apparatus which contains the structure and performs as described above, is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication 3-145881 (JP-A-3-145881). In JP-A-3-145881, there is proposed a well-known optical reading unit. More particularly, the optical reading unit comprises a support body with a film insertion aperture formed on the surface of the support body for the insertion of a film. The film acts as a transmitting original. The optical reading unit also includes a conveyor device for freely conveying the film from the film insertion aperture in a direction towards the interior of the optical reading unit. Movement is carried out in a reciprocating manner. Additionally, at least one portion of the optical reading unit has an optical axis which is transverse to the conveying direction of the conveyor device.
In terms of the problems associated with typical image reading apparatuses and optical reading apparatuses, such apparatuses typically require a carriage to support and move a film disposed on a conveyor means which moves along a fixed shaft. As such, a focus adjustment in the optical axis direction of the light which the film transmitted or reflected is impossible. Accordingly, because of the aforementioned problem, straight or flat films may be scanned, but not curled or rolled films.
Additionally, as typical image reading apparatuses that maintain racks which are operationally engaged with pinion gears driven rotationally by a motor which is fixed only at one end to a film carrying carriage, the engagement of the pinion gear becomes uncertain due to warping and the like. Furthermore, because typical image reading apparatuses comprise structure such as plate springs used to press on a film inserted into a carriage, the film surface moves as a result of the scatter of the film mount thickness, and can not be supported at true focus points.
In view of the above-described problems associated with typical and well known image reading apparatuses, it is an object of the present invention to solve such problems in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
It is therefore another object of the present invention to provide an image input apparatus, the focus of which is adjustable in the optical axis direction of transmitted or reflected light from a transmitting original which is supported on a support unit.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an image input apparatus which can accurately perform movements of its support unit.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an image input apparatus which can accurately support a transmitting original on a support unit.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practices of the invention.
These and other objects of the present invention are achieved in that the present invention provides an image input apparatus which comprises an illumination unit to produce a quantity of light to illuminate a transmitting original, a support unit to scan the quantity of light and to support and move the transmitting original and a reading unit to image and read light reflected by or passed through the transmitting original.
Additionally, the present invention provides an image reading unit which comprises an illumination unit to produce a quantity of light to illuminate a transmitting original, a support unit to scan the quantity of light and to support and move the transmitting original, a reading unit to image and read light reflected by or passed through the transmitting original, a rack formed in the support unit, a pinion gear rotationally driven by a motor and a regulation unit to regulate the displacement of the rack.
Finally, the present invention also provides an illumination unit which comprises an illumination unit to produce a quantity of light to illuminate a transmitting original, a support unit to scan the quantity of light and to support and move the transmitting original, a reading unit to image and read light reflected by the transmitting original and a compression unit to elastically sandwich and compress a first side and a second side of the transmitting original in the support unit.
The above-identified and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and readily appreciated from the following descriptions of the preferred embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is an oblique view of an image input apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II--II of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III--III of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line IV--IV of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line V--V of FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged side view which shows the film holding spring depicted in FIG. 1.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III--III of FIG. 1 illustrating another embodiment of an image input apparatus according to the present invention.
A first embodiment of the image input apparatus of the present invention is described below, with reference to the drawings figures which were briefly described above.
A first embodiment of the present invention is now described with reference to FIGS. 1-6. Referring generally to FIG. 1, an image input apparatus comprises an illumination optical unit as an illuminating means which shines or emits imaging light on a film or transmitting original, a scanning unit to scan the illuminating light by moving a carriage which serves as a retention means to retain the film and a reading projection optical unit for imaging transmission light from the film on a charged coupled device (CCD). The aforementioned components are housed in a housing which is discussed below.
The housing includes an aluminum diecast body 1 having a bottom cover 2 which covers the lower part of the body 1. A front panel 3 covers the front surface of body 1. In body 1, a mechanical body 4 is configured to receive the image reading system which includes the aforementioned scanning unit, illumination unit and projection optical unit. The image reading system and a main board 5 (FIG. 2) are secured in body 1 by screws, but may be fastened using any well known fastening system.
The front side of the bottom cover 2 is configured so that it rests against front panel 3, and the rear side, not shown in the drawing, is fixed by screws to the body 1. The bottom cover 2 and the front panel 3 cover the image reading system.
Four harnesses 6 are connected between the main board 5 and the mechanical body 4 as depicted in FIG. 2. Moreover, an aperture 7 for insertion of a film mount, and an LED window (not shown in the drawing) for display of photographic information, are disposed in the front panel 3. Moreover, a portion of the outer circumference of a focus dial 8 (discussed below) projects from the front panel 3, so that a focusing operation is possible from the front of the image input apparatus. Furthermore, there is a large aperture located between the front panel 3 of body 1 and the opposite side surface of body 1, such that connections can be made to various connectors disposed on the main board 5.
The carriage portion is constituted by the scanning unit, the retention movement mechanism of the film mount and the focusing adjustment mechanism. A motor portion comprises a motor power transmission mechanism to transmit the motor drive force to the carriage portion. The motor portion comprises a stepping motor 11 and a reduction gear 14a (FIG. 3) (integral with the pinion 14) to reduce the rotation of the stepping motor 11. Reduction gear 14a is fixed to a motor mounting board 12. Motor mounting board 12 is fixed with screws to mechanical body 4.
The stepping motor 11 fixed to the motor mounting board 12 rotates a motor gear 13 into which the motor shaft is pressed. The pinion gear 14 (FIG. 3) is rotated via the reduction gear 14a. While stepping motor 11 makes 0.9 revolutions per 1 step corresponding to 1 line of the image, the present invention is not so limited.
A carriage unit comprises a carriage 15 and a carriage 16 which are positioned integrally opposed at a predetermined spacing. More particularly, both ends are fitted into groove portions of the mechanical body 4 so that they are movably guided by a horizontal guide bar 17. Two respective film holding springs 18 are fixed facing each other at both edges of the facing surfaces of carriage 15 and carriage 16. Spherical projections 18a are formed front and rear, as shown in FIG. 6, on the film holding springs 18. A film mount may be inserted between carriages 15 and 16 to come into contact with projections 18a.
By balancing the force of the film holding springs 18, even if film mounts of different thicknesses are inserted between carriages 15 and 16, the film mount is normally positioned in the center between the carriages 15 and 16. Accordingly, even if the thickness of the film mount differs, if the emulsion surface of the film is positioned at the center of the mount, by centering the focus dial 8 mentioned below, focusing adjustment is unnecessary. Moreover, by disposing the projections 18a on the film holding springs 18, the position of the springs 18 which comes into contact with the film mount is practically constant, and the film mount can be more precisely positioned in the center of the carriage 15 and the carriage 16, with no inclination.
A rack 16a (FIG. 5) having skew teeth, each of module 0.3 for example, is integrally formed parallel to the direction of movement, on the carriage 16. The pinion gear 14 is in engagement with the helical rack 16a. As such, the drive force of the stepping motor 11 is transmitted to the rack 16a and the movement of the carriage 15 and the carriage 16 is performed.
A U-shaped photointerruptor 19 (FIG. 1) is fixed by screws to the mechanical body 4, and a photointerruptor detection vane 20 is integrally mounted on carriage 15 in a position to pass along the photointerruptor 19. The foregoing arrangement allows for the starting point of carriages 15 and 16 to be detected. The tip of the photointerruptor detection vane 20 becomes R shaped with the rotation center of the guide bar 17 as the center post even during rotary motion of guide bar 17 when the same is performed during focus adjustments as mentioned below.
A rack carriage groove portion 16b is formed longitudinally in the rear side of the rack 16a of the rack carriage 16. A rack support bar 21 fixed to the motor mounting plate 12 is fitted to slide freely in the rack carriage groove portion 16b. Warping of the rack 16a is suppressed in the aforementioned manner so that the engagement with the pinion 14 can be made accurate.
Another example of rack support is next shown in FIG. 7 with general reference to FIGS. 1-6.
The structure depicted in FIG. 7 indicates that it is possible to mount the rack support bar 21 on the mechanical body 4. The up and down relationship of the rack 16a and the pinion gear 14 is constituted contrary to the first-mentioned embodiment. Here, the rack support bar 21 is fixed to the mechanical body 4. By fixing the rack support bar 21 to the mechanical body 4, the positional error with the rack carriage groove portion 16b is reduced so as the carriage portion can be moved smoothly in the secondary scanning direction. These advantages result because the motor mounting plate 12 does not rotate as with the first embodiment and because the rack support bar 21 can be mounted to the mechanical body 4.
Moreover the rack support bar may be formed from, among other things, molded plastic and the like, so as to easily slide on the mechanical body 4. Alternatively, rack support bar 21 may also be held in place via fastening systems or even formed integral with the mechanical body 4.
In this embodiment, as also shown in FIG. 4, an ejector plate 22 (see e.g., FIG. 4) is disposed between the carriage 15 and the carriage 16. When a film mount is inserted between the carriages 15 and 16, the film mount contacts the ejector plate 22. When the carriages 15 and 16 move, the ejector plate 22 contacts a part of the mechanical body 4 and comes to a stop against the mechanical body 4, but the carriages 15 and 16 continue to move in an inward direction. As such, the film mount which is in contact with the ejector plate 22 is displaced forward relative to the carriages 15 and 16. Accordingly, when the carriages 15 and 16 return to the film insertion position (i.e., because the film mount projects from the front panel 3, the film mount can easily be removed.
One end of the inner side of the guide bar 17 (see e.g., FIG. 4) is rotatably supported in contact with the mechanical body 4. Moreover, one end of the front surface of the guide bar 17 is disposed in a right angled direction relative to the guide bar 17, and is in contact with an eccentric shaft 23. Eccentric shaft 23 is freely and rotatably supported on the mechanical body 4, via a guide bar retaining spring 24. Furthermore, one end of the eccentric shaft 23 is pressed into a focusing dial 8. When the dial 8 rotates, the eccentric shaft 23 also rotates. The guide bar 17 rotates with the end on the inner side as a center, and becomes displaced in an up and down direction. Moreover, a dial friction part 25, which is a Teflon friction plate mounted on the mechanical body 4, is in sliding contact at the end surface of the focusing dial 8, and the free rotation of the focusing dial 8 comes to a stop.
According to the above-mentioned structures, the image reading position is at the center of the longitudinal direction of the guide bar 17, and by means of a displacement of �1 mm of one end of the front side of the guide bar 17 due to the rotation of the eccentric shaft 23, a focus adjustment of �0.5 mm at the reading position becomes possible.
Referring again to FIG. 4, the illumination optical unit comprises an illumination base 26, an LED block 27, a toric mirror 28, forty mirrors 29, and an optical system cover 30. The entire illumination optical unit is mounted to the mechanical body 4 with flat head screws or other well known fastening system.
The LED block 27 (e.g., the present invention's light source) is fixed on the illumination base 26 via an insulating sheet by insulating collars and screws. The toric mirror 28 is mounted on the illumination base 26 and is rotatable in a cylindrical projection disposed on a side surface as a shaft. The forty mirrors 29 located in the illumination base 26 are fixed by adhesion in the deflection portion. The illumination system cover 30 covers the LED block 27, the toric mirror 28, and the forty mirrors 29, so as to be fixed via two tubular stop portions disposed in the illumination base 26. Furthermore, slit(s) is/are disposed at the top of the forty mirrors 29 in order for the illuminating light to pass through in the direction of the film mount. Moreover, the interior of the illuminating optical system is illuminated from incident external light by the illuminating system cover 30.
A photographic optical system comprises forty-five reflecting mirrors 31, projection lenses 32, CCD 33, and a projection system cover 34. The photographic optical system is positioned in the central lower portion of the mechanical body four, partitioned three ways by walls. The forty-five reflecting mirrors 31 are fixed in contact with the mechanical body 4. The projection lenses 32 are constituted by four groups of 6 lenses and are disposed symmetrically. The projection lenses are fixed in a lens compartment by separating rings and presser rings, and the lens compartment is fixed to the mechanical body 4 by set screws.
The CCD 33, mounted on a CCD board 35, is fixed in the mechanical body 4 via a CCD holder 36. Moreover, the projection system cover 34 is fixed by screws to the outer circumference of the portion partitioned by walls.
According to the above-mentioned structures, the light which the original film transmitted was deflected 90� by means of the forty-five reflecting mirrors 31, so as to be imaged by the projection lenses 32 on the CCD 33. Moreover, the CCD holder 36 effects light shielding and dustproofing functions. Furthermore, the projection system cover 34 also effects light shielding and dustproofing functions for the projection optical system, and also serves for the restraint of the guide bar 17 of the scanning unit.
The foregoing discussions indicate that because a support unit is movable in the direction of the optical axis of transmitted light, accurate focus adjustment of a transmitting original becomes possible.
Moreover, because a regulating unit described above is disposed to regulate the displacement of a rack formed in a support member or unit, displacements such as warping of the rack can be prevented. Additionally, accurate engagement between a regulating unit and a pinion gear is now possible.
Also, because the regulating unit of the present invention is configured to be fixed in position, displacement is minimized and possibly even reduced. Thus, warping and like displacements of the rack can be minimized to allow pinion gears to be accurately engaged.
Additionally, because both sides of a transmitting original can be supported by support members, the transmitting original can be positioned in the center of a support member or unit thereby altering and minimizing the occurrence of inclination.
Finally, it should be noted and understood that the present invention is not limited to the structure of the above-described and disclosed embodiments, and it goes without saying that many modifications and changes may be made to the form, structure and operation of the aforementioned embodiments, without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention which is defined in the appended claims and equivalents thereof.

Comments: The Cooler: Celebrity Species and the Science Deficit Model
Thanks Bob for your reflection on our editorial in Decision Point (May 2013) on choosing which species to conserve. On the whole we agree with most of your commentary though we feel your portrayal of our editorial as 'an attack on conservation marketing' to be a bit misplaced. Our basic point was that most threatened species are not getting any attention (or funding) and that organisations and governments that say they are doing something about declining biodiversity need to acknowledge that there are choices to be made.
In many ways, rather than attacking conservation marketing, our editorial was more of a defence of triage, accountability and transparency in conservation decision making. Too often the scientists promoting a triage approach are accused of being heartless rationalists who are quite happy to 'give up' on species because there are more efficient ways of using resources. Nothing could be further from the truth. No conservation scientist who has devoted most of his or her life to saving nature wants to give up on any species. However, denying that there are choices to be made (and that many species are simply left out of the picture) is also a form of 'giving up' and this is never acknowledged by the opponents of triage.
In attempting to keep the story as simple as possible, maybe we conflated conservation NGOs and governments, discussing them as one when in fact they serve different functions and behave in different ways. Maybe this question of choice is more relevant to governments who are supposed to protect a nation's biodiversity and be there as a safety net to market failure. Maybe conservation NGOs raising money from the public shouldn't be judged on the species they fail to fund.
However, one thing NGOs can clearly do is to use the money they raise with pandas and tigers to deliver the greatest good. This means using the species as umbrellas rather than flagships. A flagship species for which we raise money that goes into the management of that species alone is of little use, it may be detrimental. A flagship species that requires broad scale threat abatement or broad scale habitat protection is great. (This is what we think Smith et al. 2012, were trying to say in their discussion on Cinderella species.) Use cost-effective decision-making to choose the best sets of actions, and then pick the flagship species that deliver those outcomes we need for all species.
The truth is that all players in the arena of conservation (NGOs, governments, political parties, the general public and scientists) are facing an uphill battle and should be working together. We all have choices to make. Our editorial attempted to emphasise this.

A TEENAGE mother told her boyfriend's mum she hurt her baby after getting frustrated with it, Oxford Crown Court heard yesterday.
Jade Collison, 19, denies inflicting grievous bodily harm and actual bodily harm on her six-month-old daughter in January last year after the baby suffered a broken leg and bruising to her face.
But jurors were told by her boyfriend's dad, Paul Dening, he had overheard Collison talking to his wife.
The witness said: "She said she hurt her child. My wife said why or how? She said she was frustrated with the child."
The trial has heard the teenager, of Juniper Close in Banbury, took her child to the Horton General Hospital on January 29 last year, but doctors were suspicious when she changed her account of what happened.
Her stepfather David Johnston, who shared his Upper Heyford home with Collison, told jurors he had been kept awake by the baby for two nights.
He said he shouted at Collison because she was "doing absolutely nothing to comfort her".

Creative Zen Mozaic MP3 player
First announced back in July, the Mozaic settles nicely into Creative's MP3 player range sitting between the Zen Stone Plus and the Zen proper. Fashioned from slightly cheap-feeling, but nevertheless extremely scratch resistant, black plastic, the Mozaic measures up at 80 x 40 x 13mm and weighs around 40g. It's available in 2, 4 …

@ Alun
Doesn't Gnomad2 interface with this on Linux? It works just fine for my Zen V Plus - maybe it will also work with the X-Fi and Mozaic.
Linux can connect to mtp devices just fine through libmtp, tho its a lot easier if one uses a frontend for it such as amarok or gnomad2
U-G-L-Y, creative ain't got no alibi
It looks like the bastard love child of a mobile phone and a 1970's bathroom tile set.

This next animated Warner Brothers/DC Comics movie will be pretty hard to pass up and prompted me to check out Frank Miller's Batman: Year One animated movie, which I plan to review here soon. But what's coming this month is the most talked about graphic novel of all time, Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 in its first adaptation, coming direct to video. DC Comics must have done some research to indicate it wouldn't make enough money for this movie to hit the theaters, which is unfortunate, because I think even the simple animation style used wouldn't matter–DKR fans would go to the theater to see this. The negative is that, like so many other movies these days, it is being broken into two parts, so maybe the length was the problem.
