Quantization distortion in block transform-compressed dataPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (1) | Patents (8)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (68 KB)
Summary form only given, as follows. The JPEG image compression standard is an example of a block transform-based compression scheme; the image is systematically subdivided into blocks that are individually transformed, quantized, and encoded. The compression is achieved by quantizing the transformed data, reducing the data entropy and thus facilitating efficient encoding. Block transform compression schemes exhibit sharp discontinuities at data block boundaries: this phenomenon is a visible manifestation of the compression quantization distortion. For example, in compression algorithms such as JPEG these blocking effects manifest themselves visually as discontinuities between adjacent 8×8 pixel image blocks. In general the distortion characteristics of block transform-based compression techniques are understandable in terms of the properties of the transform basis functions and the transform coefficient quantization error. In particular, the blocking effects exhibited by JPEG are explained by two simple observations demonstrated in this work: a disproportionate fraction of the total quantization error accumulates on block edge pixels; and the quantization errors among pixels within a compression block are highly correlated, while the quantization errors between pixels in separate blocks are uncorrelated. A generic model of block transform compression quantization noise is introduced, applied to synthesized and real one and two dimensional data using the DCT as the transform basis, and results of the model are shown to predict distortion patterns observed in data compressed with JPEG.

Efficient handling of large sets of tuples with sharing treesPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (78 KB)
Summary form only given; substantially as follows. Computing with sets of tuples (n-ary relations) is often required in programming, while being a major cause of performance degradation as the size of sets increases. The authors present a new data structure dedicated to the manipulation of large sets of tuples, dubbed a sharing tree. The main idea to reduce memory consumption is to share some sub-tuples of the set represented by a sharing tree. Various conditions are given. The authors have developed algorithms for common set operations: membership, insertion, equality, union, intersection, ... that have theoretical complexities proportional to the sizes of the sharing trees given as arguments, which are usually much smaller than the sizes of the represented sets.

The development of a standard for compression of synchronous data in DSU/CSU'sPublication Year: 1995| | Quick Abstract | PDF (28 KB)
Summary form only given, as follows. Over the past year, a standard for compression of synchronous data in DSU/CSUs (56 kb/s) has been developed. The development began in an informal industry consortium known as the Synchronous Data Compression Consortium (SDCC) and the work later migrated to a committee of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). This work chronicles the development of the standard, which is based on the Internet Standard Point-to-point Protocol, examining both the issues involved when applying data compression to communication links and the impact of choices made along the development path.

Parallel image compression using vector quantizationPublication Year: 1995| | Quick Abstract | PDF (65 KB)
Summary form only given. The authors used a parallel approach to address the complexity issues of vector quantization: They implemented two full search memoryless parallel vector quantizers using 2 x 2 and 4 x 4 fixed block sizes on a shared memory MIMD machine, the BBN GP 1000. The squared error distortion measure and the LBG codebook design algorithm were used. The searching of the codebook is done in parallel for both the image coding and codebook design phases. The input vectors are in shared memory distributed among all the processor node memory modules. A private copy of the codebook is given to each processor node. A parallel task is generated for each input vector to be encoded. Each task is assigned one input vector to encode. The task searches the entire codebook to determine the minimum distortion codevector. The index of this vector is the output of the task. Load balancing of the tasks on the available processor nodes is done automatically by the operating system. This algorithm design requires minimal synchronization between the tasks to accumulate the total distortion. While good parallel performance was achieved the vector quantizers were generally lacking in fidelity. It is expected that these methods can be extended to achiwe high fidelity nhile maintaining good parallel performance. View full abstract»
Making the Best of JPEG at Very High Compression Ratios: Rectangular Pixel Averaging for Mars PathFinderPublication Year: 1995| | Quick Abstract | PDF (57 KB)
As more and more NASA missions are turning to image compression to maximize their data return at constrained bit rates, and very often adopting JPEG as the centerpiece of their image compression system, they are noticing one limitation of JPEG: its poor performance at very high compression ratios (typically 32 and above). This is the case for engineering uses of image data on Mars Pathfinder such as assessment of lander condition and deployed airbags, and rover navigation. Unlike science scenes, images for engineering at low resolution are often sufficient. Unfortunately, at very high compression ratios, JPEG produces unacceptable artifacts, due to the limitation of the size of the Discrete Cosine Transform to 8, for which no clever quantization or entropy coding can compensate. Still, JPEG can successfully be used as part of a compression scheme if the encoding is preceeded by low-pass filtering and downsampling, while the decoding is followed by interpolation and upsampling, to restore the image to its original size. The choice for the horizontal and vertical downsampling/upsampling factors is made based on the known distance to the objective and its size, as well as on the fact that resolution in azimuth degrades more gradually than in elevation, leading to a larger downsampling factor in azimuth. Assuming unweighted pixel averaging is used as the low-pass filter before decimation, optimal interpolation filters which minimize the mean squared reconstruction error (MSRE) in the absence of JPEG are derived. In the presence of large JPEG-induced quantization noise however, bilinear interpolation filters are shown to outperform the optimal interpolation filters derived above. Engineering assessment of images compressed with this scheme at ratios up to 126-to-1 using bilinear interpolation confirm its performance and its success in extending the operational compression ratio range of JPEG.

Enhancement of IMP lossy image data compression using LCTPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (40 KB)
Summary form only given, as follows. This work addresses the lossy image data compression designed for the NASA Mars pathfinder (IMP) project. Both, mission profile and the availability of a RISC central board computer support a completely software oriented implementation of IMP lossy image data compression. One of the mission objectives is to demontfate the capability to place science payloads on the surface of Mars using a simple, reliable, low cost system within a demanding schedule. According to the cost and schedule objective a task oriented modification of the widely used Joint Photographic Expeqt Group (JPEG) standard for still image data compression was implemented as a starting version of compression software. This version has been delivered within a month after project kick-off. Subsequently extensions and improvements of performance were investigated and implemented as : (a) selection between pixel representation by 8 or 12 bit, 'item[(b)] implementation of arithmetic coding (improvement of performance), (c) implementation of "local cosine transform" (improvement of performance).

Lossless compression using conditional entropy-constrained subband quantizationPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (28 KB)
Summary form only given, as follows. The browse and residual compression strategy has been shown to be effective for data archival and telebrowsing of scientific databases. This paper introduces a hybrid lossless image compression technique that couples lossy subband quantization with lossless coding of the residual. Analysis is performed on the tradeoff between the rates expended on the browse and residual images. We investigate the effects of different distortion measures for compression of the browse image on the compression of the residue. The algorithm is shown to provide competitive lossless compression as well as the flexibility for progressive transmission for a moderate computational complexity. View full abstract»
A massively parallel algorithm for vector quantizationPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (62 KB)
Summary form only given, as follows. This work is concerned with the parallel implementation of a vector quantizer system on Maspar MP-2, a single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) massively parallel computer. A vector quantizer (VQ) consists of two mappings: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder assigns to each input vector the index of the codevector that is closest to it. The decoder uses this index to reconstruct the signal. In our work, we used the Euclidean distortion measure to find the codevector closest to each input vector. The work described in this paper used a Maspar MP-2216 located at the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. This system has 16,384 processor elements (PEs) arranged in a rectangular array of 128 x 128 nodes. The parallel VQ algorithm is based on pipelining. The codevectors are distributed equally among the PEs in the first row of the PE array. These codevectors are then duplicated on the remaining processor rows. Traversing along any row of the PE array amounts to traversing through the entire codebook. After populating the PEs with the codevectors, the input vectors are presented to the first column of PEs. Each PE receives one vector at a time. The first set of data vectors are now compared with the group of codevectors in the first column. A data packet containing the the input vector, the minimum value of the distortion between the input vector and the code vectors it has encountered so far, and the index corresponding to the codevector that accounted for the current minimum value of the distortion is associated with each input vector. After updating the entries of the data packet, it is shifted one column to the right in the PE array. The next set of input vectors takes its place in the first column. The above process is repeated till all the input vectors are exhausted. The indices for the first set of data vectors are obtained after an appropriate number of shifts. The remaining indices are obtained in subsequent shi- ts. Results of extensive performance evaluations are presented in the full-length paper. These results suggest that our algorithm makes very efficient use of the parallel capabilities of the Maspar system. The existence of efficient algorithms such as the one presented in this paper should increase the usefulness and applicability of vector quantizers in Earth and Space science applications.

Coding gain of intra/inter-frame subband systemsPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (1)
Summary form only given. Typical image sequence coders use motion compensation techniques in connection to coding of the motion compensated difference images (interframe coding). Moreover, the difference loop is initialized from time to time by intraframe coding of images. It is therefore important to have a procedure that allows to evaluate the performance of a particular coding scheme: coding gain and rate-distortion figures are used in this work to this purpose. We present an explicit procedure to compute the coding gain for two-dimensional separable subband systems, both in the case of a uniform and a pyramid subband decomposition, and for the case of interframe coding. The technique operates in the signal domain and requires the knowledge of the autocorrelation function of the input process. In the case of a separable subband system and image spectrum, the coding gain can be computed by combining the results relative to appropriately defined one-dimensional filtering schemes, thus making the technique very attractive in terms of computational complexity. We consider both the case of a uniform subband decomposition and of a pyramid decomposition. The developed procedure is applied to compute the subband coding gain for motion compensated signals in the case of images modeled as separable Markov processes: different filter banks are compared to each other and to transform coding. In order to have indications on the effectiveness of motion compensation, we also compute the coding gain for intraframe images. We show that the results for the image models are in very good agreement with those obtained with real-world data View full abstract»
Recursively indexed vector quantization of non-stationary sourcesPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (56 KB)
Summary form only given. We present a recursively indexed vector quantizer with the following properties: (1) it is simple to implement with low computational overhead; (2) it is an adaptive algorithm and therefore is well suited for applications where the source is non-stationary; (3) the output rate can easily be changed making it suitable for applications requiring rate control, such as transmission over packet switched networks; and (4) the input vectors can be quantized to within a user specified distortion on a per vector basis rather than on average. We have called the algorithm forward adaptive even though this algorithm also use the past outputs for adaptation. We have tested this algorithm on a number of synthetic hidden Markov sources, and on a video sequence. The results of both tests compare favorably with existing results in the literature View full abstract»
Video coding using 3 dimensional DCT and dynamic code selectionPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (52 KB)
Summary only given. We address the quality issue, and present a method for improved coding of the 3D DCT coefficients. Performance gain is achieved through the use of dynamically selected multiple coding algorithms. The resulting performance is excellent giving a compression ratio of greater than to 100:1 for image reproduction. The process consists of stacking 8 frames and breaking the data into 8×8×8 pixel cubes. The three dimensional DCT is applied to each cube. Each cube is then scanned in each dimension to determine if significant energy exists beyond the first two coefficients. Significance is determined with separate thresholds for each dimension. A single bit of side information is transmitted for each dimension of each cube to indicate whether more than two coefficients will be transmitted. The remaining coefficients of all cubes are reordered into a linear array such that the elements with the highest expected energies appear first and lower expected energies appear last. This tends to group coefficients with similar statistical properties for the most efficient coding. Eight different encoding methods are used to convert the coefficients into bits for transmission. The Viterbi algorithm is used to select the best coding method. The cost function is the number of bits that need to be sent. Each of the eight coding methods is optimized for a different range of values View full abstract»
Constraining the size of the instantaneous alphabet in trellis quantizersPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 23 - 32| | Quick Abstract | PDF (456 KB)
A method is developed for decreasing the computational complexity of a trellis quantizer (TQ) encoder. We begin by developing a rate-distortion theory under a constraint on the average instantaneous number of quanta considered. This constraint has practical importance: in a TQ, the average instantaneous number of quanta is exactly the average number of multiplies required at the encoder. The theory shows that if the conditional probability of each quanta is restricted to a finite region of support, the instantaneous number of quanta considered can be made quite small at little or no cost in SQNR performance. Simulations of TQs confirm this prediction. This reduction in complexity makes practical the use of model-based TQs (MTQs), which had previously been considered computationally unreasonable. For speech, performance gains of several dB SQNR over adaptive predictive schemes at a similar computational complexity are obtained using only a first-order MTQ View full abstract»
Tree-structured vector quantization with significance map for wavelet image codingPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 33 - 41
Cited by: Papers (8) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (672 KB)
Variable-rate tree-structured VQ is applied to the coefficients obtained from an orthogonal wavelet decomposition. After encoding a vector, we examine the spatially corresponding vectors in the higher subbands to see whether or not they are "significant", that is, above some threshold. One bit of side information is sent to the decoder to inform it of the result. When the higher bands are encoded, those vectors which were earlier marked as insignificant are not coded. An improved version of the algorithm makes the decision not to code vectors from the higher bands based on a distortion/rate tradeoff rather than a strict thresholding criterion. Results of this method on the test image "Lena" yielded a PSNR of 30.15 dB at 0.174 bits per pixel View full abstract»
Matching pursuit video coding at very low bit ratesPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 411 - 420
Cited by: Papers (8) | Patents (10)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (800 KB)
Matching pursuits refers to a greedy algorithm which matches structures in a signal to a large dictionary of functions. In this paper, we present a matching-pursuit based video coding system which codes motion residual images using a large dictionary of Gabor functions. One feature of our system is that bits are assigned progressively to the highest-energy areas in the motion residual image. The large dictionary size is another advantage, since it allows structures in the motion residual to be represented using few significant coefficients. Experimental results compare the performance of the matching-pursuit system to a hybrid-DCT system at various bit rates between 6 and 128 kbit/s. Additional experiments show how the matching pursuit system performs if the Gabor dictionary is replaced by an 8×8 DCT dictionary View full abstract»

A high performance block compression algorithm for small systems-software and hardware implementationsPublication Year: 1995| | Quick Abstract | PDF (48 KB)
Summary form only given. A new algorithmic approach to block data compression, using a highly contextual codification of the dictionary, that gives substantial compression-rate advantages over existing technologies, is described. The algorithm takes into account the limitations and characteristics of small systems, such as a low consumption of memory, high speed and short latency, as required by communication applications. It uses a novel construction of the prefix-free dictionary, a simple but powerful heuristic for filtering out the non-compressed symbols and a predictive dynamic prefix coding for the output entities. It also employs universal codification of the integers, allowing a very fast and direct implementation in silicon. A dynamic compression software package is detailed. Also, several techniques developed to maximize the usable disk-space and the software speed, among others, are discussed View full abstract»
Lattice-based designs of direct sum codebooks for vector quantizationPublication Year: 1995
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (48 KB)
Summary form only given. A direct sum codebook (DSC) has the potential to reduce both memory and computational costs of vector quantization. A DSC consists of several sets or stages of vectors. An equivalent code vector is made from the direct sum of one vector from each stage. Such a structure, with p stages containing m vectors each, has mp equivalent code vectors, while requiring the storage of only mp vectors. DSC quantizers are not only memory efficient, they also have a naturally simple encoding algorithm, called a residual encoding. A residual encoding uses the nearest neighbor at each stage, requiring comparison with mp vectors rather than all mp possible combinations. Unfortunately, this encoding algorithm is suboptimal because of a problem called entanglement. Entanglement occurs when a different vector from that obtained by a residual encoding is actually a better fit for the input vector. An optimal encoding can be obtained by an exhaustive search, but this sacrifices the savings in computation. Lattice-based DSC quantizers are designed to be optimal under a residual encoding by avoiding entanglement Successive stages of the codebook produce finer and finer partitions of the space, resulting in equivalent code vectors which are points in a truncated lattice. After the initial design, the codebook can be optimized for a given source, increasing performance beyond that of a simple lattice vector quantizer. Experimental results show that DSC quantizers based on cubical lattices perform as well as exhaustive search quantizers on a scalar source View full abstract»
Parallel algorithms for the static dictionary compressionPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 162 - 171
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (464 KB)
Studies parallel algorithms for two static dictionary compression strategies. One is the optimal dictionary compression with dictionaries that have the prefix property, for which our algorithm requires O(L+log n) time and O(n) processors, where L is the maximum allowable length of the dictionary entries, while previous results run in O(L+log n) time using O(n2) processors, or in O(L+log2n) time using O(n) processors. The other algorithm is the longest-fragment-first (LFF) dictionary compression, for which our algorithm requires O(L+log n) time and O(nL) processors, while the previous result has O(L log n) time performance on O(n/log n) processors. We also show that the sequential LFF dictionary compression can be computed online with a lookahead of length O(L2) View full abstract»
Improving LZFG data compression algorithmPublication Year: 1995
Summary form only given. This paper presents two approaches to improve the LZFG data compression algorithm. One approach is to introduce a self-adaptive word based scheme to achieve significant improvement for English text compression. The other is to apply a simple move-to-front scheme to further reduce the redundancy within the statistics of copy nodes. The experiments show that an overall improvement is achieved from both approaches. The self-adaptive word-based scheme takes all the consecutive English characters as one word. Any other character in the ASCII codes will be taken as one single word. As an example, the input message `(2+x) is represented by y' can be classified into 9 words. To run the word-based scheme in PATRICIA tree, the data structure is modified View full abstract»

It's 2nd down-and-5 as the quarterback settles under center and prepares to run the next play. The ball is on the opponent's 40-yard line, there are six minutes to go in the second quarter of a game tied 10-10. What play are they going to run?
Most fans would have no idea what to expect—a run, a pass, maybe some kind of gadget play. But if you take a closer look, you'd see there's enough information out there to give a fan a good chance to predict what's about to happen. If you want to learn to anticipate the action and become the smartest fan at your Super Bowl party, here are five things to look for before the ball is snapped.
Obviously, there are 11 offensive players on the field at all times, and the composition of that lineup is critical. There are always going to be five linemen and a quarterback (even if it's not the actual quarterback), which leaves five moving pieces—running backs, tight ends, and receivers.
You should note before every play how many of each is in the game and refer to it the way coaches and players do: by the number of backs and tight ends. If there's one back and one tight end, it's called 11 personnel (which also means three receivers). If there are two backs and two tight ends, it's 22 personnel (which means one receiver). If you notice a trend that a team runs the ball eight times out of 10 plays with 21 personnel, you can take an educated guess what's coming the next time you see two backs and one tight end on the field.
These might be the most influential factors when calling a play—and in determining which personnel to send onto the field in the first place.
When a coach puts together his game plan for a particular game, he creates a menu of options based on down and distance (always considered in tandem). His team will practice a half-dozen or so plays for various down-and-distance scenarios: second down and one to four yards, second and five to seven yards, second and eight yards or more. Whichever plays he's most comfortable with and confident in will be part of the game plan.
Again, fans have the ability to keep track of plays that are called based on down-and-distance. It's not just an exercise in accounting—it's actually an important analysis, almost identical to what a coach up in the booth is assigned to do. He tracks a team's play calls based on down and distance and reports to the head coach at halftime. They may find that on 2nd downs between 5 and 7 yards, they ran the ball six times and passed only twice. You can predict what their halftime adjustment will be – throw the ball more often in that situation during the second half, so they can maintain a balanced offense and avoid becoming predictable (the cardinal sin of playcalling).
Identifying the personnel grouping is the first step, but you still need to pay attention to who the actual players are. The New York Giants may come out in 11 personnel, but there's a tremendous difference between having Brandon Jacobs as the lone running back or Ahmad Bradshaw. Jacobs is a front-side runner, who will run downhill at the designated point of attack. Bradshaw is a cutback runner, a guy who will change directions during the flow of a play. Defenses must prepare for their different strengths.
The defense must also consider the offensive formation. If the single back is lined up in the I formation (right behind the quarterback) he shouldn't be considered a receiving threat on that play. If he lines up offset behind the tackle or in the B Gap (between the guard and tackle), he can run the ball, but must also be accounted for in the passing game.
It helps to notice when a key player is on the sidelines. If it's second and five, there may be play calls to avoid because your team's starting tight end left the game and the backup has a different skill set. Or perhaps the opponent's best pass rusher got banged up on the previous play and isn't on the field—is there a play call that will take advantage of his absence?
The NFL is all about matchups. Very simply, the objective of every defense is to have one more threat than the offense can block. That's why one of the first things the quarterback—and the center, who usually calls the protections for the offensive line—looks for when reading a defense is the number of men in the box.
The offense has to ask, "If we run the ball against this defensive front, can we get everyone blocked?" Or if they've called a pass, they have to ask, "Have we accounted for everyone who could possibly rush the quarterback?"
Just because a safety buzzes down into the box and looks like he's going to blitz doesn't mean he's coming; defenses bluff regularly to confuse the quarterback. But the offense must be prepared for him to pressure and make sure someone blocks him.
The quarterback is also reading the defense to see if they're setting up in man-to-man coverage or zone. It's easy for you to spot, whether you're watching the game at home or on TV. Is the cornerback playing inside the wide receiver or outside? If his backside is to the sidelines, the cornerback is playing a zone principle. If his backside is to the middle of the field, he's in man coverage.
Quarterbacks and receivers will adjust accordingly, looking for routes that will work against certain coverages. If the cornerback is in Off and Soft (a zone coverage which gives the receiver a sizeable cushion at the line of scrimmage), it's going to be tough to beat him with a deep route. But underneath routes should be open.
If the cornerback is Off and Inside (a soft man-to-man coverage where he lines up inside the receiver), it takes away inside routes, like the slant. But it's vulnerable against quick outs, which are harder throws for a quarterback to make.
If the corner is in Press coverage (the classic in-your-face man-to-man), the receiver might want to run a deeper route, giving him more time to shake the man lined up right in his grill.

Ashes 2013: Umpires Aleem Dar and Kumar Dharmasena face rapid return to the front line
With only four of the ICC's elite umpire panel eligible for the Ashes, reputations are at risk
Stephen Brenkley
Stephen Brenkley is Cricket Correspondent for The Independent.
Tuesday 16 July 2013
Two years ago, Aleem Dar was the best umpire in the world. His status was officially ratified twice in the ICC annual awards and thousands of times more by the accuracy and resolution of his decisions. Dar's face, when he first picked up the trophy at a ceremony in 2009, beamed from ear to ear. It meant something to have his uncanny gift recognised.
Two years ago, he might have been spared the ordeal of what he has just gone through in the first Test match between England and Australia because he would have done things differently. He made two decisions, both of them not out, which had a monumental bearing on the match.
They were both wrong. First, he decided that Stuart Broad had not hit the ball in England's second innings when the batsman was on 37. Slow-motion replays showed he had firmly edged it and Broad is still reaping the whirlwind for declining to own up and walk.
Dar's lapse was forgivable, given the angle of Broad's bat and the fact that the ball then crashed into the gloves of wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, perhaps blurring the original sound. Australia could not dispute it – or not officially, that is – because they had used up their allocation of reviews.
As the match reached its sapping climax, Dar ruled that Haddin had not touched a ball from Jimmy Anderson that swerved in at him. Perhaps he was influenced by England's distinctly unconvincing appeal, perhaps he did not pick up the thin inside edge.
It is merely conjecture but perhaps he was also mindful of the fact that this was a decision on which the match and possibly the series depended. There may have been an unconscious thought that if England were sure, they could ask for a review. England did so and Dar had to alter his verdict. Thus did an epic Test match end in an early 21st-century way.
Dar and his fellow umpire, Kumar Dharmasena, his successor as ICC umpire of the year, were drained by the events of Trent Bridge. Doubtless, the third umpire, Marais Erasmus, felt similarly. It was a close game full of narrow decisions and reviews.
The evidence of Trent Bridge suggests that it is becoming increasingly difficult to make rulings. The decision review system is there to help but it also fuels the umpires' doubts and affects their self-esteem.
By far the vast majority of players accept that umpires can and do make errors and get on with the game. That does not make it any easier on these officials, however, and there were moments in Nottingham when Dar and Dharmasena looked like crumbling before our eyes.
Four men are juggling the three umpiring positions throughout this series and the one that follows in Australia, with the trio for the first Test being joined by Tony Hill of New Zealand. This is because the ICC elite panel of 12 now contains four Englishmen and four Australians, none of whom is permitted to stand in matches involving their sides. Elite matches deserve elite officials which leaves the ICC nowhere else to turn.
By January, the officials will have had to contend with appeals spurious and genuine and reviews legitimate and politic. They will be tired men and along the way, like poor Dar in the past few days, they will be cast as villains.
Neutral, or independent, umpires were originally introduced to eradicate even the suspicion of prejudice based on national support. But elitism carries with it its own responsibilities (not to mention the scrutiny of the cameras). If the balance of the panel continues to be as it is a change of policy may be necessary.
Big decisions: to review or not to review
Ashton Agar
On six, Agar appeared to have fallen just short before a stumping decision was reviewed. Third umpire Marais Erasmus saw things differently and Agar made 98.
Michael Clarke
Clarke was adjudged to have been caught behind, but the Australian saw things differently and sent the decision upstairs. The captain was rightly dismissed after a tiny nick showed up on the infra-red.
Stuart Broad
Broad stood still and silent after his thick edge was caught by Clarke at slip via Haddin's gloves. The incensed tourists, however, had no remaining reviews.
Brad Haddin
Fittingly, the final wicket of Australia's second innings was sent upstairs after suspicions of Haddin's feathered inside edge. With 15 runs needed to win, captain Alastair Cook opted to gamble, and England took the Test.

CCTV images of schoolgirl Tia Sharp with the man accused of murdering her hours later were shown to an Old Bailey jury today.
The 12-year-old appears happy and relaxed as she accompanies Stuart Hazell, 37, the partner of her grandmother Christine Bicknell, on a journey in south London.
They travel by tram and bus and, at one point, the images show them chatting together as they shop for groceries and a magazine in a Co-op supermarket. Hours later, the prosecution allege, Hazell sexually assaulted and killed her, hiding her body in the loft at the home he shared with Ms Bicknell in New Addington.
Hazell, who denies murder, had picked up Tia in Croydon after she had asked if she could spend the weekend at her grandmother's home.
The CCTV clips show them walking together on the afternoon of August 2, Tia dressed in a distinctive yellow T-shirt and carrying a bag, and Hazell, dressed in shorts. They walk through Croydon, catch a tram to Forestdale, where they go shopping at the Co-op, before taking a T31 bus to her grandmother's home.
The prosecution claims Hazell had a sexual attraction to Tia and murdered her after sexually assaulting her in the early hours of August 3 last year.
Tia's family, including her mother Natalie, her partner David Niles and her grandmother watched from the public gallery as the CCTV footage was shown to the jury. Tia's natural father Steve Carter was also in court.
A picture shown to the jury yesterday was a graphic image of a naked young girl, believed to be Tia, posed on her bed at her grandmother's house. Experts say the image was taken after her death.
Ms Bicknell, 47, who had been in a relationship with Hazell for five-and-a half-years, told police said that "Tia was not the sort of girl you could groom." She added: "She was a mouthy 12- year-old, you wouldn't force her to do anything."
In her statement Ms Bicknell said she arrived home from a shift at the care home where she worked on the afternoon of August 3 to find Hazell at home alone.
When she asked "where's Tia?", he replied that she had gone into Croydon to buy a pair of slippers and he had told her to be back by 6pm.
She said she started to get worried when Tia was not back by 7.50pm and went out to look for her. At about
10pm she went to the police station to report Tia missing before going home again.
The trial continues.

Tyler Seguin, Bruins explode in second period, hang on to tie series 1-1
May 17, 2011, 11:49 PM EDT
A lot of people watched Tyler Seguin's astounding four-point second period and wondered what Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien was thinking when he made him a healthy scratch for two rounds. Yet it's quite possible Seguin benefited from having fresh legs and the motivation to never watch a playoff game in street clothes again. Either way, it's hard to imagine the second pick of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft being a healthy scratch again anytime soon.
If ever, really.
Boston 6, Tampa Bay 5; Series tied 1-1
There really wasn't a dull moment in this game, which surprised many considering the defense-first strategies both teams normally employ. The Lightning will inspire yet another round of "striking fast" puns thanks to Adam Hall's goal, which happened just 13 seconds into the game. The Bruins dominated most of the first frame and tied it up 1-1, but Steven Stamkos sent a brilliant blind pass to set up a Martin St. Louis 2-1 goal with just seven seconds left.
That goal left the Boston crowd stunned, but it turned out be a prelude to two more dramatic periods.
Tyler Seguin, Bruins chase Dwayne Roloson in the second period
In a second period some might call "The Revenge of the Law of Averages," the Bruins finally took over Game 2. Obviously, the biggest story was Seguin, who set a single-game playoff record for a teenager with four points (according to Versus). We'll have more on his special night in a separate post, but if you need a taste of just how special he was, check out this video.
This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
Seguin wasn't the only Bruins forward who dominated in the second period, even if he clearly produced his first true star-making moment. Michael Ryder scored two goals himself, for example. Another heartening trend for the Bruins was their improved power play (and, by extension, Tomas Kaberle, who produced two assists). That much-derided unit produced two goals on six opportunities and plenty of shots in the process.
It's important to note the timely (and difficult) saves made by Tim Thomas. The Lightning received a disturbing amount of (partial or full) breakaway opportunities, but Thomas made some huge saves to maintain what became a 6-3 lead. In keeping with the theme of this crazy game, the game was far from over even if elderly godsend Dwayne Roloson was chased from the Lightning net.
Tampa Bay storms back in third
As Keith Jones pointed out in the post-game recap, the Bruins missed Patrice Bergeron the most when they were trying to hold onto what should have been a secure 6-3 lead in the final frame. Say what you will about this Lightning team, they won't just slump their shoulders and quit.
They didn't end up tying the game, but the Bolts can take some momentum going into their home games. Stamkos continued his own excellent night by firing an absolute laser beam over Thomas to make it 6-4, giving his team hope once again.
Dominic Moore ended up making it 6-5 on a bizarre interchange. It seemed like Victor Hedman scored a goal seconds before a wild scrum, but Moore was wise to punch it back in as Thomas was bowled over. Check out footage of that moment below.

That goal came with almost seven minutes left in the third, so there were plenty of breath-taking moments. If you ask me, the closest the Lightning came when Marc-Andre Bergeron nearly scored on a rebound attempt 16:09 into the third. Thomas ended up stopping it, though, and the Bruins held on for dear life with some resourceful last-minute plays.

Liberman: "We Need To Look At This Culture Of Violence"
Retiring Senator Joe Lieberman makes a few good points
(The Hill) Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Sunday called for a "national commission on violence," in the wake of Friday's shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
"I'm always reluctant about commissions, but I really believe we ought to have a national commission on violence," said Lieberman, according to a White House pool report. "These events are happening more frequently and I worry that if we don't take a thoughtful look at them, we're going to lose the hurt and the anger that we have now."
Guns are the tools being used, but they are not the result. When people drive drunk and kill someone, we don't blame the alcohol or motor vehicle, we blame the person who got liquored up. When some Islamist straps on a bomb and goes out to blow himself up with a whole bunch of women and children, we don't blame the bombs and clothes, we blame the jihadi and that culture of violence (well, many liberals tend to blame Israel and the United States).
Lieberman suggested the commission should have a broad scope and not focus only on the nation's gun-control restrictions.
"That includes looking at violence in the entertainment culture, mental health services and, of course, gun laws," he said.
Let's look into that violence in the entertainment industry, chock full of liberals who wield and even glorify guns. Look at all the violent and popular shows. Person of Interest, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Blue Bloods, Bones, Dexter, Law and Order (on tons of times and with different spin offs), shows on prison, Gangland (one of my favorites), Burn Notice (also one of my favs), and so many others. Plus so many others in regular and syndication.
The top video games of the year include Assassins Creed 3, Halo 4, Dishonored, Ninja Gaiden 3, Max Payne 3, Binary Domain, Sleeping Dogs, Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2, and Borderlands 2, among others.
Look at all the violence in the movies released this and every year.
Hey, look
Deyon Durham, 24, of 279 Faulkner St., was found shot to death at 1221 Montgomery St. shortly after 7 a.m., police said.
The initial investigation suggests that Durham was breaking and entering at the home when the homeowner, whose name was not released, shot him.
Durham had convictions, starting in 2005, for indecent liberties with a minor, sexual battery, breaking and entering vehicles, larceny and failure to register as a sex offender, according to state Division of Adult Correction records.
We should make sure that guns are taken away from law abiding citizens so criminals are never in danger.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/25/14 -- PC Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PKL) is pleased to report results for the first three holes of the 2014 spring drill program. Assay results from the remaining holes are pending and are expected to be returned within the next few weeks.
No. 23 Vein Highlights:
-- 878.69 g/t gold over 0.90 meters (25.63 oz/ton over 3 feet) in hole PC- 14-283 from 65.89 to 66.79 meters -- 10.60 g/t gold over 5.55 meters (0.31 oz/ton over 18.2 feet), in hole PC-14-283 from 71.45 to 77.00 meters, including 83.48 g/t gold over 0.55 metres (2.43 oz/ton over 1.8 feet) -- Abundant visible gold observed
Note: Reported widths are drilled core lengths, true widths are unknown at this time. All assays are performed by Accurassay Laboratories of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Assay values are uncut.
Hole PC-14-283 returned an impressive intercept of 878.69 g/t over 0.90 meters from the No. 23 Vein. This is the highest assay on the property since the fall of 2011 when PC Gold intercepted 444.38 g/t gold over 1.50 metres (including 1,325.73 g/t over 0.5 meters) on the No. 22 Vein (see Press release January 11th 2011). This new high grade intercept on the No. 23 vein is located approximately 60 meters below surface.
The current drill program is targeting the shallow No. 22 and 23 veins. The objective of this program is to prove up sufficient near-surface resources which will allow the Company to finalize an economic study evaluating the viability of commissioning the onsite 225 ton per day mill.
The Pickle Crow property currently hosts a 1.26 million ounce NI 43-101 inferred gold resource(i) (10,150,000 tonnes averaging 3.9 g/t gold). This includes a higher grade underground component comprising 1.1 million ounces averaging 5.4 g/t gold, including a high grade vein component of 600,000 ounces averaging 9.3 g/t gold.
Commenting on the results, Peter Hooper, President and CEO said: "This new high grade intercept in No 23 vein complements the previous high-grade intercept returned from the No. 22 vein and illustrates the potential of the system. The No. 3 Shaft area is host to the highest concentration of high-grade veins at Pickle Crow. Significantly these new veins, the No. 22 and 23, are hosted within volcanic rocks of the Confederation Assemblage, which traditionally were not thought to host Pickle Crow type veins, and therefore have experienced little exploration."
Table 1. Significant Intercepts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From To Width Au Hole ID Zone (metres) (metres) (metres) (g/t) Comments ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upper No. 23 PC-14-281 Vein 15.30 15.80 0.50 0.58 VG Lower No. 23 Vein 114.20 115.70 1.50 0.90 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upper No. 23 PC-14-282 Vein 16.70 17.20 0.50 1.49 Lower No. 23 Vein 135.23 136.45 1.22 1.39 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upper No. 23 PC-14-283 Vein 65.89 66.79 0.90 878.69 VG Middle No. 23 Vein 71.45 77.00 5.55 10.60 VG Including 71.45 72.00 0.55 83.48 Including 75.50 76.27 0.77 9.83 And 89.85 91.06 1.21 5.03 VG Lower No. 23 Vein 171.80 173.32 1.52 0.65 VG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All assays are performed by Accurassay Laboratories of Thunder Bay, Ontario. All assays reported are uncut. Reported widths are drilled core lengths, true widths are unknown at this time.
Maps and photographs of the No.22 and 23 vein intercepts discussed in this news release can be viewed on the Company's website at: http://www.pcgold.ca/pr25jun2014/.
QA/QC Procedures
PC Gold has implemented a rigorous quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of drill core, the details of which can be viewed on the Company's website at http://www.pcgold.ca/qaqc/.
Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration for PC Gold and the Company's Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this press release.
About PC Gold
PC Gold Inc. is a Canadian gold exploration company currently focused on its 100% owned former producing Pickle Crow gold mine located in Northwestern Ontario.
(i) Entirely NI 43-101 Inferred category. The NI 43-101 resource estimate was prepared by Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corporation, and audited and approved by Micon International Limited under the direction of Mr. B. Terrence Hennessey, P.Geo., MAusIMM, Vice President of Micon, an independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Neil Pettigrew, Vice President, Exploration for PC Gold and the Company's Qualified Person, is also a partner in Fladgate. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured resource category.

I thought this place was going to be off the charts but ended up disappointing me. Bagel bread is rubber, i got a smokey joe triple decker and it was too cheese powered. I got a taylor ham egg and cheese on a bagel, the smokey joe, and a tea and it came to be 23.00.... When paying for it the lady didn't flinch …
To me this place is excellent for breakfast & lunch , pastrami and corned beef is to die for! As soon as I came in I was greeted. Everyone seemed pretty friendly and at my service. I've been here 3 times & always leave satisfied.
