The approximate measurement in inches of the viewable area of the HDTV screen
measured diagonally.
The amount of detail that a HDTV can display. Three standards are currently
defined by the International Telecommunication Union for widespread use. The
standards (best to worse) are 1080p, 1080i and 720p.
The manufacturer's suggested retail price.
Typical price of the HDTV in a store or from an online retailer.
A calculation of the cost per square inch of the HDTV screen. Computed by
dividing the area of the screen (height x width), by the "Street Price".
Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a framework to allow consumers to easily and conveniently enjoy digital
content using diverse devices from any location in their home. The framework utilizes a home IP Network, whether
that network is wired, Wi-Fi or a mix of wired and Wi-Fi topology, to allow an exchange of data between digital
Remote control units that are packaged with HDTVs fall in to 3 distinct groups.
From best to worse they are:
Standard manufacturer's warranty, when the HDTV is purchased from an authorized
Picture-in-Picture (and its many aliases), allows you to view content from one
source on one part of the screen and content from another (or the same) source
on a different part of the screen. The original implementation of the feature
was with one source being displayed on the full screen, and a picture from the
second source displayed in a window on top of the full screen picture , usually
in the corner of the screen. Later implemenations added the ability to size and
move the window, split the screen, and freeze the image on the main or window
A Comb Filter clears up any fuzziness or discoloration in fine picture detail
that may be introduced by RF and composite video connections limited bandwidth
capabilities. The feature is only important if you will be using legacy VCRs and
/ or DVDs that are not equiped with a SVideo component or better conntection
capibility. Comb filter type are (ranked from most to least effective): 3D
Digital, 3-Line and 2-Line.
Reverse 3:2 Pulldown or de-interlacing as it is sometimes called will eliminate
most, if not all, of the apparent subtle jerking you see in smooth camera pans.
If you have never noticed the subtle jerking in smooth camera pans when watching
a DVD, you already own (or plan to own) a progressive scan DVD, HD DVD or
Blu-ray player, this feature will not be important to you.
120Hz refresh rate, is a technique used by LCD displays to help to minimize the
blurring we detect when there are fast moving objects on screen. The technology
works by doubling the native refresh rate of LCD displays from 60Hz (the screen
image is redrawn 60 times per second) to 120Hz (120 times per second). If you
will be using your HDTV to watch sports, action movies or play video games, this
is a feature you will appreciate.
Channel or Video labeling provides you with the ability to label each channel (or
input) for easy identification of the origins of the source content you are
watching. With most digital cable systems, Directv, and Dish Netwrok , the
television station call letters are transmitted with each channel, and will
appear breifly on the screen when you change the channel. For typical TV viewing
this feature is redundant, however if you have a complex setup with multiple
components and broadcast feeds, this feature will be benificial.
Favorite Channels allow you to designate a collection of channels you watch
frequently. Member channels in the grouping can be quickly accessed with the
click of a single button, selected when the HDTV is powered on, and / or allow
for channel surfing of only channels in the collection.
Allows you to see images from multiple channels on screen at the same time. A
convience for habitual channel surfers.
V-Chip or Parental Control, as it is sometimes called, allows the blocking of
television channels or programs. With V-chip technology, programs that have been
rated are encoded with a signal of the rating. If the program's rating is
outside of the level set on the TV, the program is blocked. A password
designated by the HDTV owner, will allow the block to be overidden. Most
implementations of V-Chip allows for the blocking of a channel completely, which
is a great way to handle unencoded content.
Allows the HDTV set to shut itself off after a preset period of time has elapsed.
Allows you to have the HDTV turn itself on and off at a designated time. This
feature is not only a great convenience, allowing you to automatically turn on
the set and set it to your favourite channel as you step out of the shower in
the morning, it is also a safety feature. Many of us set our lights on timers to
create the illusion that someone is home when we go on vacation, the illusion
can be further enhanced with of the television's event timer.
Indicates the current time.
Closed Caption (CC) or subtitles as it is commonly called, displays a written
transcript of the dialog of television, video and film content. This allows
people with hearing impairments or viewer watching in a noisy environment the
opportunity to read the spoken dialog.
Auto Volume Adjust (level sound, night mode, or several other aliases), reduces
the dramatic differences in volume levels that can occur between program and
commercial segments, or dialog and special effects segments of programs.
SAP (Secondary Audio Programming) is a second audio channel that is transmitted
with television programming. The second audio channel signal is audio in a
second language. Televisions that posses SAP can decode audio broadcast in the
second language.
Surround sound refers to the application of audio to channels to surround the
listening audience in sound. With HDTVs usually possessing only 2 speakers,
surround sound is achieved by using psychoacoustic sound localization techniques
(tricking our ears) to simulate a 3-D sound field. SRS Surround is a patented
psychoacoustic 3D technology of SRS Labs. There are four version of SRS surround
for television applications; they are called "Focus", "TruBass", "WOW" and
"TruSurround XT".
The stated measurement of the maximum audio power output.
Audio Out is an unamplified low level audio output connection, which allows the
audio signal from a HDTV to be sent to another audio component for further
amplification. With a "variable" output, the final volume level heard by the
listener is adjusted up and down by the HDTV volume control. With a "fixed"
output the final volume level heard by the listener is controlled by the
separate audio component(s) that the HDTV is connected to. "Selectable" offer
the greatest flexibility allowing you to choose either the "variable" or fixed
mode. "Fixed" output will give you better sound quality, while "variable" allows
you the convenience of using or HDTV remote to control your listening volume.
SPDIF which stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format is an audio
connection designed to carry compressed digital audio between home theater
Digital Fiber is the optimum audio connection for sending compressed or
uncompressed audio between audio components.
Digital Coaxial is a digital audio connection capable of sending compressed or
uncompressed audio between, audio components. It is equal in sound quality to
its fiber-optic counter-part digital fiber, but it is physically more robust
than digital fiber. However, digital coaxial can suffer from electro-magnetic
Simplay HD is a new independent testing program for consumer high definition
equipment that tests HDMI interoperability and connectivity of products. The
program tests high definition components and cables so that end users will be
assured that products will provide the highest quality performance and work
together seamlessly.
CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) is an optional specification that is part of HDMI version 1.3a. This
specification allows components to discover, communicate and self configure other CEC components in your
system, so that optimal configuration becomes plug and play. For example, a feature know as "One Touch Play"
will allow a CEC enabled Blu-ray player to switch the active source input on a CEC enabled HDTV, to the HDMI
connection the player is connected to, simply by pushing the "Play" button.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the next generation connection
interface, capable of transmitting uncompressed video and audio digital streams.
This connection is the optimum interface for connecting Blu-ray Disc, HD DVD, HD
satellite receivers, HD cable set-top-boxes, video game consoles, AV receivers
and new DVD players. You should purchase a HDTV with at least one of this type
of interface.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video only digital interface that was
designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display equipment. This
interface type has been superseded by HDMI connection for use with HDTV, and it
is now primarily used to connect computer video to flat Panel LCD and Plasma
computer displays.
VGA (Video Graphics Array) is the ubiquitous 15 pin connector used to connect a
computer to a standard analog computer display. If you plan to hook you computer
directly to your HDTV and your computer only has a standard VGA graphics card,
having one of these will simplify your connection. If your computer has a modern
high performance Video adapter with a DVI connector, you will be able to use a
DVI or HDMI connection (with the aid of a DVI to HDMI cable) on your HDTV and
get superior performance.
IEEE 1394 (Also known as FireWire and i.Link) is a serial bus interface standard
that offers high-speed communications, real-time data services, and allows up to
63 devices to be connected up together. IEEE 1394 has been chosen by HANA (High
Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance) as the standard connection type for
component communication and control.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a computer serial bus interface, designed to allow
diverse peripheral connections using a standardised interface. USB devices allow
for plug-and-play, without the need for device driver installation and equipment
rebooting. HDTVs with this connection allow you to do things like view photo and
other media stored on USB memory sticks directly on the HDTV set.
Component Video is the best analog video connection, which transmits video on 3
separate cables; one for color information, one for luminance (or greyscale)
information and the final one for synch. If the component you are connecting to
your HDTV doesn't have a digital video connection, this is your best
Composite Video is a low quality legacy video only connection that uses a single
wire to transmit video signals. At the dawn of the home video components market,
this was the only video- only connection available.
SVideo or a Y/C connection as it is sometimes called is a legacy analog video-
only connection that superseded composite video connections. SVideo separates
the video signal into two separate signals; one signal carries the color
information, and the second carries the luminance (greyscale) information.
RF is a connection that was designed to work with radio frequencies, making it an
ideal connector for television antenna systems. RF connecting cables are
typically implemented with coaxial cable, thus the connection has the alias
"coaxial". With the advent of cable television, RF connections became the
standard way to connect a television tuner to a cable TV feed.
A Cablecard is a PCMCIA card similar to the ones used in laptops that has been
designed to allow consumers to view and record encrypted digital cable. Under an
FCC mandate, cable providers systems must allow the use of third party devices
to access their encoded services, thus freeing consumer for using Cable Company
owned set-to-boxes. The use of a cablecard simplifies the use of HDTV
convenience features like picture-in-picture and TV-Guide.
Standard computer Ethernet connection.
Energy Star Compliance ensures that the HDTV uses significantly less energy when
it is turned off.
Vesa (Video Electronics Standards Association) has defined standard
configurations covering the mounting of flat panel monitors and displays to
walls and on stands. The Flat Panel Mounting Interface (FDMI), defines the
horizontal and vertical distances between mounting screw positions, as well as
the depth and tread of the screws. Consumers benefit from this standardization
safe in the knowledge that third party mounts will work with HDTVs that follow
this standard.
The exterior dimensions of the HDTV.
The exterior dimensions of the HDTV, inclusive of its standard base or pedestal.
The weight of the HDTV set chassis.
The weight of the HDTV set, plus its standard base or pedestal.
Power consumed by the HDTV while in general operation.

Some facility managers have already mastered the practice. They know how many motors they have, where they're located, their size and nameplate efficiencies, their load factors and number of run-hours. They keep track of each motor's age and maintenance history and have plans in place for what is going to happen with every one of those units when they fail. Yes, such facility managers definitely are out there…
For the rest of us, the following set of motor-management building blocks from the Motor Decisions MatterSM Campaign can help.
Motor inventory
A motor inventory is a list of every motor in a facility, its size, nameplate efficiency, operation, load factor, run-hours and maintenance history. With this resource alone, you can ensure that the most efficient motors are the most often used; track "problem" motors (those with histories of repeated failure); and identify candidates for cost-effective replacement. Many vendors and service providers can help facilities assemble motor inventories. Ask a vendor or service provider in your area for assistance. Click here for a list of motor service providers.
Repair/replace decision guidelines
It is easier to manage a plan than a crisis. Know in advance what will be done with every motor upon failure, and label the motor accordingly. The information in your motor inventory—nameplate efficiency, age, run-hours and maintenance history—will assist you in determining the cost-effective choice. (A free Motor Decisions Matter calculation spreadsheet can help you do this in three easy steps.)
Purchasing specification
Once the decision to replace a motor has been made, know what type of unit you'll be purchasing as the replacement. Because energy costs represent 95% of the lifetime costs for most motors, NEMA Premium® efficiency motors may save your facility money in many applications. Keep in mind that a motor failure is also a good opportunity to make sure the size and type of motor are appropriate for the application.
Best-practice repair specification
Ensure that motors are returned to their nameplate efficiency by specifying best-practice repair. Without this type of specification, a repair could result in a unit that operates less efficiently. Take the time to check out the best-practice repair resources that are available through the Motor Decisions Matter initiative, and contact your motor service provider to develop a specification for your facility. Motor Decisions Matter provides motor users with a variety of free tools and information, including the "Simple Savings Calculator," "Motor Planning Kit" and numerous case studies from facilities throughout the United States and Canada, at www.motorsmatter.org.

After meeting with the City Council about funding possibilities on Tuesday, the Board of Education convened Thursday to define its next steps in the reorganization process. Earlier this month the board voted to close Anniston Middle School and convert Cobb Elementary School into a junior high for seventh- and eighth-graders. Elementary students, including sixth- graders, will be divided among the four remaining elementary schools.
Board member Mary Klinefelter said she felt the next step was for the architect to fine-tune the plans for the new Cobb Junior High School.
"I think in doing that," she said, "we need input from the principals and faculty and all the administration to make sure we design this building in a practical way that includes the things that we need and the structure will be laid out in the way that we want it."
Board member Bill Robison agreed. He said the Board of Education needed concrete information to work with and concrete steps to check off so that progress on the reorganization stays on track.
Superintendent Joan Frazier said she will be coordinating a meeting with Montgomery-based McKee and Associates, the district's architectural firm, as soon as possible.
The district's architect provided preliminary drawings and cost estimates for the project about six to eight months ago and provided updated cost estimates at the board's April 27 work session, Frazier said. Now, district officials must begin to determine what specifically will go into the building and how it will be situated.
"We're going from preliminary to the nitty-gritty," she said.
Robison presented his fellow board members with a model checklist of steps that would enable the board to move ahead steadily on the reorganization. These include:
- obtaining the best and most recent cost estimates for the project
- getting the best available estimates on debt service payments for the cost of the project
- deciding how much of the debt service the district can commit to paying each year and how much the city will pay (in addition to the schools' ad valorem tax)
- verifying that the debt service paid by the city will meet any required minimum compensation for transfer of the middle school property
- meeting with the Anniston City Council about the district's need and the project's timing and academic merits
- signing an agreement with the city of Anniston
Robison said following his suggested timeline or a similar one will help the members "find out if we're going to go fishing or if we're going to stay sitting on the bank cutting bait."
In the meantime, Frazier has begun the process to make sure the plan can move forward in compliance with Lee vs. Macon, a decision in a desegregation lawsuit.
Frazier met Wednesday with attorney Burgin Kent to plan the district's request for the federal courts to approve the reorganization plan.
In other business, the board:
== Approved a field trip to Six Flags over Georgia as an achievement reward for Anniston High School students who have met criteria including passing the graduation exam.
== Declared repairs to the cooling tower at Cobb Elementary School to be an emergency. Frazier said the repairs could take as long as seven to eight weeks.
== Discussed with Bruce Jameson of the Public Education Foundation of Anniston opportunities for funding of technology and career tech equipment and infrastructure.

Portsmouth bar charged in connection with patron's death
Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams and Portsmouth Police Chief Stephen DuBois held a press conference Tuesday to announce the charges.
The one felony complaint alleges that the bar's owners, New Adventure Entertainment LLC, doing business as The Page Bar and Restaurant, negligently allowed beverages to be consumed in an area not approved by the Liquor Commission, namely the dance floor of the Stadium Lounge.
The charge against the bar carries a $100,000 fine but no jail time, as it is against a corporation, not an individual.
Reams said had the bar been following the rules of their liquor license, the assault that resulted in the death of Joshua Krantz, 24, may never have happened.
Police allege that Zachary O'Neill, 24, attacked Krantz from behind on the dance floor around 12:30 a.m. on April 6 and struck him repeatedly in the head. O'Neil alleged that Krantz spilled a drink on him earlier in the night while on the dance floor.
Later that morning, Krantz was found dead in his Dover apartment by his roommates.
O'Neill is facing a felony degree assault charge at this time, because the state medical examiner has not yet ruled Krantz's manner of death as a homicide.
The investigation to date has revealed that Krantz's death was caused by a fractured skull that resulted in bleeding of the brain.
On Tuesday, DuBois said the medical examiner's final report is still pending.

Sadness. Sadness is the only way to describe what was going on in the Madison State Garden when the Suns played the Knicks. Bad offence, pourous defence and a lot of tired legs on both sides.
The Suns pulled off a win, but more than anything, it was a testament to hitting their occasional open shots (even though Marcin Gortat had trouble with that, partially in thanks to the refs), and a surprisingly good Shannon Brown appearance. It wasn't a win as much as it was not a loss.
The Knicks showed how non-existent their offence is without a point guard to run it.
The Suns showed nothing in particular. And yet they've won, and I'd like to credit Alvin Gentry for that, for once.
The rotation shuffle apparently motivated everyone from Channing Frye to Shannon Brown. Ronnie Price starting at the 2 was a nice touch, helping the defence early on. The Suns pulled off a win despite missing their most consistent (formerly) bench player in Markieff Morris.
Now, in Boston we're probably going to see 'kieffs first real start which will be quite interesting.
That is all about the New York game. Both teams played sad.
Oh so very sad.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Greg Locke had been away from Newfoundland for years, working as a photojournalist in Canada, the United States, and in many of the world's most troubled regions, when he decided to go home – and stay. The photographs in Newfoundland were taken over a period of more than a decade. They chronicle the passage of Canada's easternmost province from a time when cod were still plentiful and the fishery shaped the lives of most of the island's inhabitants, to the present, when a vibrant economy, propelled by oil and mineral development, is recasting the island's identity in a new mould.
What Locke's photographs reveal is at once forward-looking and nostalgic, beautiful and harsh. Above all, his Newfoundland ispopulated by survivors: a people who are resourceful, funny, resilient, and strong.
Poet and novelist Michael Crummey draws upon deep-seated memories of his own and of his father's experience to evoke passing traditions and a disappearing way of life. But, just as Locke's photographs reveal the emergence of a new, more urban and cosmopolitan Newfoundland, so does Crummey's writing emphasize the continuing sense of belonging and the determination to persevere that are characteristic of his compatriots. He writes admiringly of a "culture deep enough to accommodate a world of influences without surrendering what makes it unmistakably of this place. Something alive and leaning towards the future." This book embodies both a vision and a voice of rare power.

Should teachers receive ethics training?
Ethics training is mandatory for many professions — from medicine to law — but not for teaching. Teachers have no national standards to govern their behavior and relationships with students, according to Troy Hutchings, research chair for the College of Education and School of Advanced Studies at University of Phoenix.
"When it comes to ethics, there should be core, guiding principles about how teachers interact with their students," says Hutchings, who this past April spoke to about a dozen participants at an invitation-only Educator Ethics Symposium sponsored by Educational Testing Service in Princeton, New Jersey.
At minimum, he advocates establishing a national code of educator ethics to guide teachers in making responsible and informed decisions, including how to properly interact with students inside and outside the classroom. The standards would require enforcement, whether through teacher education programs or state or federal teaching agencies. State boards could also use the guidelines for teacher licensing, he suggests.
When it comes to ethics, there should be core, guiding principles about how teachers interact with their students.
Until there is such a code, however, many teachers will continue to rely on their own morals in their relationships with students, which Hutchings says can lead to inconsistency and poor or misinformed decisions. That approach should not be the formal prescription for an entire profession's ethical standards, he asserts.
Consider the case of a teacher who builds a trusting relationship with a student, preventing the student from dropping out of school, but then finds the student drinking on a field trip. If the teacher reports the incident, the school's zero-tolerance policy requires the student's expulsion.
If there were a national ethics code to follow, Hutchings says, the teacher could not allow his compassion for the student to trump his ethical and legal obligations.
At University of Phoenix, Hutchings notes, instructors emphasize teachers' professional and personal conduct, decision-making, and critical-thinking responsibilities as they relate to ethics. They also discuss the ways ethical issues impact student learning, he says, adding that some teacher preparation programs do offer specific ethics courses, but those tend to focus on the teachings of philosophers.
That's neither practical nor applicable, he points out.
"If a teacher is faced with hundreds, if not thousands, of fast-paced decisions a day that directly impact students," Hutchings says, "he is not going to think of Aristotle first."

Don't ask me why this didn't get more headline space – Mozilla has recently released the final v3.5 edition of its FireFox browser. This puts an end to a somewhat difficult development period – the new version is said to bring the following improvements:
* Available in more than 70 languages.
* Support for the HTML5 video and audio elements including native support for Ogg Theora encoded video and Vorbis encoded audio.
* Improved tools for controlling your private data, including a Private Browsing Mode.
* Better web application performance using the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine.
* The ability to share your location with websites using Location Aware Browsing.
* Support for native JSON, and web worker threads.
* Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster content rendering.
* Support for new web technologies such as: downloadable fonts, CSS media queries, new transformations and properties, JavaScript query selectors, HTML5 local storage and offline application storage, canvas text, ICC profiles, and SVG transforms.
I have been using beta releases of FireFox 3.5 for quite some time, and have to admit that I am extremely happy with it due to the insane speed increases seen on the latest version – if anyone of you uses FireFox on a non-Windows-9x machine, definitely get the update installed ASAP!

ON THIS PAGE: You will learn about how doctors describe a cancer's growth or spread. This is called the stage. To see other pages in this guide, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen, or click "Next" at the bottom.
Staging is a way of describing where the cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting other parts of the body. Doctors use diagnostic tests to determine the cancer's stage, so staging may not be complete until all the tests are finished. Knowing the stage helps the doctor to decide what kind of treatment is best and can help predict a patient's prognosis (chance of recovery). There are different stage descriptions for different types of cancer.
For epidemic Kaposi sarcoma, there is no official staging system; however, in 1988 the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) developed a staging system called the TIS system. The ACTG is the largest HIV clinical trials organization in the world and is funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The TIS system evaluates:
- The size of the tumor (Tumor, T)
- The status of the immune system, which is measured by the number of a specific type of white blood cell, called a CD4 cell, in the blood (Immune System, I)
- The spread of the disease or the presence of HIV/AIDS-related systemic illness (Systemic Illness, S)
Within each of the three parts of the system, there are two subgroups: good risk (0, zero) or poor risk (1, one).
The following table has been adapted from the original system, developed by the ACTG to illustrate the TIS system.
Good Risk (0)
Poor Risk (1)
(Any of the following)
(Any of the following)
Tumor (T)
Only located in the skin and/or lymph nodes and/or minimal oral disease (flat lesions confined to the palate or roof of the mouth)
Tumor-associated edema (fluid buildup) or ulceration (break in the surface of the skin)
Extensive oral (mouth) Kaposi sarcoma
Gastrointestinal Kaposi sarcoma
Kaposi sarcoma in other organs in the body
Immune system (I)
CD4 cell count is 200 or more cells per cubic millimeter
CD4 cell count is less than 200 cells per cubic millimeter
Systemic illness (S)
No systemic (throughout the body) illness present
History of systemic illness and/or thrush
No "B" symptoms (Note: "B" symptoms are unexplained fever, night sweats, greater than 10% involuntary weight loss, or diarrhea persisting more than 2 weeks.)
One or more "B" symptoms are present
A Karnofsky performance status score of 70 or higher (see below)
A Karnofsky performance status of less than 70
Other HIV-related illness is present (for example, neurological disease or lymphoma)
The Karnofsky Performance Status scale measures the ability of people with cancer to perform ordinary tasks. People with a score of at least 70 can take care of themselves but are unable to carry on normal activity or active work.
100 Normal, no evidence of disease
90 Able to perform normal activity with only minor symptoms
80 Normal activity with effort, some symptoms
70 Able to care for self, but unable to do normal activities
60 Requires occasional assistance, cares for most needs
50 Requires considerable assistance
40 Disabled, requires special assistance
30 Severely disabled
20 Very sick, requires active supportive treatment
10 Moribund (dying; at the point of death)
0 Dead
Recurrent. Recurrent cancer is cancer that has come back after treatment. If there is a recurrence, the cancer may need to be staged again (called re-staging) using the system above.
Information about the cancer's stage will help the doctor recommend a treatment plan for you. Choose "Next" (below, right) to continue reading about treatment options for this type of cancer. Or, use the colored boxes located on the right side of your screen to visit any section.

Youku wants to be the premier online video source for China, sure. But it's also something like Hulu and a movie studio. Maybe that's why Goldman Sachs is about to underwrite its IPO.
By Bill Powell, contributor
Viktor Koo is as about as matter of fact as it's possible to be when he describes the audacious goal he has set for a company that he founded just four years ago. "We want to be the primary source of video content [delivered] across Internet-enabled devices." Given that he sits in China, the country that already has the most Internet users in the world (384 million, with roughly 240 million of them already accessing video via the Internet), that would presumably be a pretty valuable piece of cyberspace to occupy. Which is why investment bankers at Goldman Sachs (GS) are in the final stages of preparing an initial public offering of Youku's stock in the U.S. that is, according to one Wall Street source not working on the deal, imminent. (Koo, in an interview with Fortune, declined to confirm or deny that an an IPO is planned.)
Audacious Koo's goal may be—but it's not necessarily unrealistic. A Hong Kong native, graduate of Berkeley and the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and an alum of Bain & Co.—Koo is the founder of Youku.com, the Beijing based company that is typically--and perhaps not quite accurately -- described as the "YouTube' of China. It is, as of now, the leading online video company in China, with a market share of 42 per cent, (as measured by user time spent on video sites in China, according to Itracker.com, a market research firm.) Its principal rival, Tudou.com, has about a 25 per cent share of the market, and it too will go public in New York, either this quarter or next, sources say. (Both companies are now in the so-called quiet period before IPOs and thus can't confirm timing.)

John O'Shea
- Squad No: 16
- Position: Defender
- Age: 32
- Birth Date: Apr 30, 1981
- Birth Place: Waterford, Ireland
- Height: 6' 3'' (1.91m)
- Weight: 156 lbs (70.6 kg)
2013/14 English Premier League
Able to play anywhere in defence as well as in a midfield holding role, he's a versatile customer who even starred as sub goalie as United punished Spurs 4-0 in February 2007. O'Shea's United bow came in a 3-0 League Cup defeat at the hands of Aston Villa in October 1999 and the Irishman was then loaned out to Second Division side AFC Bournemouth in January 2000, scoring his first goal in a 3-1 defeat at Millwall. He then moved to Belgian club Royal Antwerp on loan and made his full Republic of Ireland debut in August 2001 against Croatia, scoring an own goal in a 2-2 draw.
O'Shea really made his mark in United's 2002-03 title-winning campaign, undoubtedly the best of his career. Possessing the great cliché of "a good touch for a big man" and a willingness to attack from full-back, he impressed to such an extent that he was shortlisted for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, losing out to Jermaine Jenas. O'Shea's 2003-04 campaign was not as noteworthy, and though he began to rediscover his form in 2004-05, the left-back slot belonged firmly to Gabriel Heinze, before he was himself usurped by Patrice Evra.
O'Shea has found himself called upon to fill a number of positions in the intervening years, and has always done so with the minimum of fuss. He has scored some crucial goals for United, including a memorable winner in a 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield in 2007 and a Champions League semi-final winner against Arsenal in 2009. The 2008-09 season was O'Shea's most impressive in recent times as he played 42 games in all competitions, including all of United's Champions League games as they lost out in the final to Barcelona.
After helping United to their 19th league title, though, he decided to leave in pursuit of a new challenge at Sunderland, arriving just hours after Wes Brown.
Strengths: The Irishman's undoubted strength is his versatility, while his unflustered style of defending made him a key part of the United squad for many years.
Weaknesses: O'Shea is not blessed with speed and can get caught out against genuine pace.
Career high: Scoring a last-minute winner against Liverpool at Anfield in 2007 to silence the Kop and keep United on course for their first league title in four years.
Career low: Failing to build on his initial promise, his ability was reportedly criticised by Roy Keane in his infamous MUTV tirade in 2005.
Style: Reliable and calm, a player who enables others to flourish in the attacking third.
Quotes: "He is a great professional. The boy never complains. He is happy to play anywhere. He has not always been a number one choice but he produces 30 performances a season and it is a contribution we are grateful for. He is so versatile and offers such great value for us" - high praise from Sir Alex Ferguson after O'Shea's Champions League semi-final winner against Arsenal.
Trivia: Of the nine Premier League goals he scored for Manchester United, five came in the 80th minute or later.

Wisconsinites and those of us in the Milwaukee area love our ice cream, but apparently we fall far short of the folks in the nation's capitol.
In celebration of July being National Ice Cream month, data and survey website Bundle.com recently looked into which cities and states spend the most on ice cream. Wisconsin came in third place behind the District of Columbia and (seriously?) Rhode Island, the smallest state in the union.
Milwaukee placed fifth among cities, bowing to Long Beach, CA; Dallas; Philadelphia; and Columbus, OH.
Wisconsin consumes 26 percent to 50 percent more than the average American, according to the study.
The website examined all households that had a credit card transaction at ice cream and frozen yogurt vendors. It then examined the total number of transactions and spend per city and ranked on a per capita basis.
Other interesting items from the Bundle.com research:
- District of Columbia residents eat 85 percent more than the average American. The website mused that it could be due to an ice cream outing by President Obama on Father's Day to the famous Georgetown ice cream shop Thomas Sweet, but who's to say?
- Long Beach is the Number 1 ice cream-crazy city in America, eating 268 percent more than the average American and spends 1,061 percent more than average
- Something in the water? Most of the top states are located along bodies of water: whether it's the Atlantic Ocean, Lake Superior or the Gulf of Mexico, states with beaches are where ice cream is most popular (with the exception being Utah).
Want to celebrate, or improve our placement for next year? There are plenty of places to feed your ice cream craving around the Port Washington and Saukville area:
Shakes and other frozen treats are also offered at and .
Any others you'd like to add? Tell us about them in the comments!

Countries demand greater agricultural rights
The FAO Seed Treaty would address the issues of the global agricultural system.
The International Planning Committee on Food Sovereignty (IPC) met recently to decide the future of the FAO Seed Treaty (ITPGRFA), an agreement seeking to address the issues of the global agricultural system by protecting seed diversity and implementing peasants' rights. The debate was an important milestone ahead of the scheduled food crisis summit in Rome in November and the UN climate summit in Copenhagen in December.
25 countries, representing peasant, pastoralist, and indigenous organizations took part in the treaty negotiations. After two days, the representatives demanded the following:
- In light of the food emergency there must be a suspension of all intellectual property rights and other regulations that prevent farmers from saving and exchanging non-GMO seed.
- There must be a major financial commitment to save seed in the field, for the conservation of genetic diversity in the field, and to prevent and monitor biopiracy.
- There must be an end to the monopoly practices of multinational seed companies who are controlling seeds.
- Governments must involve farmers in decision making every step of the way, and must implement the treaty's decision on Farmers' Rights.

After 2 games, the idiot radio announcers were saying how much improved the Red Sox were and how they are Playoff contenders..lol..
Red Sox pitcher John Lackey leaves first start with apparent arm injury
After missing all of last season following Tommy John surgery, Boston Red Sox pitcher John Lackey lost nearly 20 pounds in the offseason and appeared to be regaining his old form.
But after the 76th pitch of his first start of 2013, Lackey appeared to injure his arm and was forced to leave the game, according to several reporters.
The right-hander had pitched 4.1 innings of Boston's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out eight.
The pitch came during an at-bat against Jose Reyes, after which Lackey held his arm in pain, according to multiple reporters, including The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham.
Lackey leaving the game. Clutching his elbow.—
Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe) April 06, 2013
Lackey seemed to he holding the area just above his elbow. Arm was kind of dangling. Given his reaction, seemed to happen in mid-pitch—
Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe) April 06, 2013
Lackey is attempting to rebound from a 2012 season that ended as one of the worst pitching years in MLB history, when he posted a 6.41 ERA and allowed opposing batters to hit .308.
He is in the fourth year of a five-year, $82.5-million deal, signed after he went 102-71 with a 3.81 ERA in his first eight seasons with the Angels.
@PAZSKY Focus more on the SPANKees, hah hah.
@PAZSKY They do look to be improved over last year but that wouldn't be difficult, considering how bad they looked in 2012. As for playoff contenders, well, all teams like to think they are when the season starts, but I think it's unlikely Boston or New York will be in the thick of things.

I got an 3GS, (factory) unlocked phone. I was using it with iOS 4.1, Limera and Cydia with no problems until yesterday.
I use SB Settings a lot and I noticed that when I hit the 3G icon the phone looses network connection, displays the "No Service" message an instant or two and then it reconnects to the carrier network by itself.
Yesterday, after hitting the 3G icon, my iphone stucked with the "No Service" message and now it is useless.
I did a factory restore, updating it to iOS 4.2.1 but the phone still is not working. I am unable to make phone calls. Even changed the SIM with other carrier's and the result is the same: "no Service"
Any ideas?.

Make the most of a small kitchen
I recently moved into a new apartment that has a kitchen with about half the storage space—and floor space—as my previous one. For days, I was stuck unable to unpack several boxes because I simply had nowhere to store the gear inside. The kitchen has the distinction of being one of the most heavily used rooms in the house as well as usually one of the smallest. All that kitchen usage requires a lot of equipment. What can you do if your kitchen simply won't accommodate yours? Here are a few ideas, all of which I am putting to good use in my own tiny galley. These … [More]

This press release is an announcement submitted by National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID), and was not written by Diabetes Health.
BETHESDA, MD - February 21, 2007 - The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) is calling for the medical and public health community to increase alarmingly low influenza vaccination rates among persons with diabetes – the fifth deadliest disease in the U.S.
Influenza is a serious respiratory illness that can lead to severe complications in people with diabetes, including increased risk of high or low blood sugar, as well as diabetic coma. Yet, more than ten million Americans with diabetes lack the protection afforded by a single annual influenza vaccination.
"Complications from influenza can be serious and even fatal to those with diabetes," said NFID Vice President William Schaffner, MD. "Many health care professionals come in contact with these high-risk patients and all can play a role in increasing influenza vaccination rates."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Diabetes Association (ADA) and other leading medical groups recommend an annual influenza vaccination for anyone six months of age and older with diabetes, as well as their close contacts (including health care workers and household members). However, less than half of all persons with diabetes are immunized each season.
Today Dr. Schaffner presented, "Improving Influenza Vaccination Rates in Adults and Children with Diabetes: Identifying and Overcoming Immunization Barriers in this High-risk Population," to members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The report outlines useful tactics and interventions that can be applied within various clinical settings that treat patients with diabetes. NFID's Call to Action marks the beginning of a new initiative targeting improved influenza vaccination efforts for persons with diabetes, which is supported by more than 15 of the nation's key medical and public health organizations that all play a key role in treating this at-risk population.
Strategies and Tools to Prevent Influenza in Persons with Diabetes
The report highlights various approaches for practices and institutions that provide influenza vaccine, as well as for those that do not provide vaccine services yet can refer patients to be immunized elsewhere.
"Professional organizations that provide optimal care for persons with diabetes also play a key role in this effort," said NFID Medical Director Susan J. Rehm, MD. "These groups should add annual influenza vaccination to their quality assurance check lists, which will help insure their members offer adults and children with diabetes complete care according to longstanding national recommendations."
Influenza and Diabetes
Influenza is a serious and potentially deadly respiratory infection that spreads from person to person and infects up to 60 million Americans annually. The virus is responsible for more than 200,000 hospitalizations and an average of 36,000 deaths each year. Diabetes has a prevalence of about seven percent, resulting in nearly 21 million Americans with diabetes. One-third of these individuals are unaware of their condition.
Americans with diabetes may have impaired immune function that can lead to increased morbidity and mortality from influenza infection. Influenza may also interfere with blood glucose management, putting those with diabetes at increased risk of high glucose levels and those with type 1 diabetes, in particular, at an increased risk of diabetic coma.
Influenza vaccination is safe and effective in persons with diabetes. Studies have found more than 70 percent reduction in hospitalizations and death among adults with diabetes receiving an influenza vaccination. In addition, research has shown influenza vaccination associated with nearly 80 percent decrease in hospital admissions among children and adults with diabetes.
NFID's Influenza and People with Diabetes Initiative
NFID's Improving Influenza Vaccination Rates in Adults and Children with Diabetes initiative is designed to highlight the severe complications influenza infection can cause in this at-risk group with this prevalent chronic medical condition, as well as reinforce the importance of vaccinating anyone with diabetes and their close contacts each year.
Organizations that support the goals of NFID's initiative include the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Physician Assistants, American Association of Diabetes Educators, American College of Physicians, American Diabetes Association, American Medical Association, American Nurses Association, American Pharmacists Association, Asian Pacific Islander American Health Forum, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, National Diabetes Education Program, National Medical Association, Society for Adolescent Medicine and Visiting Nurse Associations of America.
NFID developed the new Call to Action report from proceedings of a roundtable meeting held last November in Washington, D.C. Representatives from these organizations agreed that improving immunization rates is an important goal for reducing morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes.
In addition to this report, which is online at the NFID Web site, www.nfid.org, NFID plans to develop and issue a more comprehensive monograph that will outline key strategies to serve as national models for improving immunization rates in people with diabetes.
About the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases
The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) is a non-profit, tax-exempt (501c3) organization founded in 1973 and dedicated to educating the public and healthcare professionals about the causes, treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. This initiative was made possible through an unrestricted educational grant to NFID from sanofi pasteur.

Hi All,
As I read through the postings here regarding document management, packaging up files to move them around, user rights problems etc, I wonder if the stuff the company I work for creates might be able to help with some of these challenges...
I work for a company that has a pretty cool system integrating Indesign and Incopy (among other tools) at the core of an architecture for managing assests for print and web publishing. Currently it has been pretty tailored to the Newspaper Industry which is pretty demanding regarding asset management, workflows, audit trails etc...
We are in the process of opening that technology up in a SaaS offering to enable alternate markets to use what we have easily as well. I would really love to hear from this group and incorporate ideas and suggestions to enhance our technology to ensure it has the most value to the community.
Thanks to any and all willing to share your experiences and ideas.
Hello Tony,
I am a Mac-based magazine designer. The editors are PC. Will InCopy work cross-platform?
I have never used InCopy, so have all the questions, such as will fonts work on either platform?
Thanks for your advice.
Hi Peter,
Yes, Incopy docs are cross platform. Stick to opentype fonts, or use the pc
postscript fonts on your mac.
Good luck!!
Hi Tony
We're a community newspaper publisher. We're Mac based and currently using CS2 for ad and page layout and NewsEdit for editorial staff. We want to upgrade to CS4 but NewsEdit is not compatable. (NewsEdit is not longer being made, they've come out with a brand new program and to purchase that, would cost mega bucks.)
We're looking at InCopy, but from what I can tell, it's mainly designed for companys that are layout driven (that is, writers write to fit the space). Being a newspaper that won't work for us.
You stated you worked for a company that has a "system integrating Indesign and Incopy for managing assests for print and web publishing. Currently it has been pretty tailored to the Newspaper Industry which is pretty demanding regarding asset management, workflows, audit trails etc."
Could you explain this a little more?
Hi Barb,
Upgrading old systems can certainly be a challenge!! I totally understand
the comments you make regarding the layout driven aspects of Incopy/Indesign
publishing environments... I do believe there can be advantages when used
the right way with the right technology facilitating the workflow... can you
share your thoughts / experiences?
The company mentioned is Digital Technology International ( www.dtint.com ).
They offer a good system that is flexible and designed for newspaper content
publishing. There are also some pretty interesting hosted system options
offered you might want to take a look at that can help to mitigate
upgrade/system purchase pain points.
If you let me know the area of the country you are in I could point you to
the right sales representative if you like.
Good Luck and thanks for sharing.
Tony Hake
Is InCopy a stand-alone program? Does each editor and the designer need to have both InDesign and inCopy? And where does the working InDesign file reside while it in process? On the web somewhere, or on the designer's Mac?
Thank you. ---Peter
Hi Peter,
I no longer work for the company I mentioned but I am still a big DTI and
adobe fan / evangelist and happy to try and answer your questions or put you
in contact with the right people when the time is right.
In a hosted environment you don't really have to worry about the file system
, and there is some pretty interesting fault tolerance stuff available these
days to make cloud-based apps reliable for publishing.

Clarissa McClain anchors WHNT News 19 at 5:00 with Lee Marshall and WHNT News 19 at 9:00 on WHNT2 with Greg Screws.
Helping people, keeping them informed, and inspiring them is what drives her passion for news. Her personal philosophy: "Everyone has a story -- good or bad, happy or sad -- It's my job to share it with others. One story has the power to change many lives."
One would think after years of pretending to be Vanna White, staging talk shows in her parent's living room, and developing a slight obsession with MAC makeup, she would have known all along that she was destined for a future in television. But it took her four years and two academic major changes to figure it out. In 2005, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications from Auburn University. WAR EAGLE!!!
Her broadcasting career began with an internship with the award-winning Investigative Team at FOX5 News in Atlanta, Georgia. Shortly after that, she landed her first job at WTVY News 4 in Dothan, Alabama. Clarissa spent one year in the Wiregrass, reporting on a range of topics from city government to the Enterprise tornado disaster. In April 2007, she moved to North Alabama to work at WHNT-TV.
Clarissa is originally from Atlanta, Georgia, yes a real native, (there aren't many left), but loves living in the Tennessee Valley. Clarissa is a newlywed. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, hanging out with friends, traveling, and cooking.
On her top five list of favorite things: two hour naps, shoe sales, singing loud and very off key in the car, old Disney movies, and playing with her terribly spoiled pooch Elle.

Probably no part of the Constitution has been so misunderstood as the Necessary and Proper Clause, which is located at Article I, Section 8, Clause 18. The Necessary and Proper Clause has been called both an "elastic clause†and a "sweeping clause,†and many have claimed it grants vast power to Congress. For example, a recent Supreme Court case, United States v. Comstock, stated that the "Necessary and Proper Clause grants Congress broad authority to enact federal legislation.â€
In fact, most federal regulations today are justified by the Necessary and Proper Clause. They are said to be within Congress's Interstate Commerce Power— but within not the core Commerce Clause ("The Congress shall have Power . . . To regulate Commerce . . . among the several Statesâ€). Rather, they are said to be supported by the accompanying authority to "make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution†the power to regulate commerce.
Now, here's the irony of the situation: Far from granting "broad authority†to Congress, the truth is that Necessary and Proper Clause grants no power at all. It is placed at the end of Article I, Section 8 as an explanation—that is, a "recital.â€Â A recital is a passage in a legal document that has no substantive legal effect, but serves to inform the reader of assumptions or facts behind the document. Another example of a recital in the Constitution is the Preamble.
In recent years, several constitutional scholars have investigated the true meaning of the Clause, and have worked to correct the record. The process began with an article written by Professor Gary L. Lawson and Patricia B. Granger: The Proper Scope of Federal Power: A Jurisdictional Interpretation of the Sweeping Clause, 43 Duke L. J. 267 (1994). It focused on the meaning of "proper.â€Â A decade later, I delved into the historical record. I found that wording of this kind was extremely common in eighteenth-century documents granting power from one person to another. I also found the courts had issued cases interpreting this language, and that the Founders had adopted the courts' interpretation. See articles hereand here.
Finally, Professors Lawson and I teamed up with two other noted scholars, Geoff Miller, and Guy Seidman, and wrote a book on the subject. (We all have differing political views, by the way.) The book is called The Origins of the Necessary and Proper Clause, and it was published last year by Cambridge University Press.
Here's what we found:
*   The Clause is a mere recital. It informs the reader how to interpret congressional authority. It does not grant any power.
*   The term "necessary†tells the reader that congressional authority is interpreted according to the intent behind the document, rather than very strictly (as the Articles of Confederation required).
*   The Clause does this by telling the reader that the legal "doctrine of incidental powers†applies to the Constitution. This means that Congress can regulate certain activities outside the strict reading of its powers, but ONLY IF this ancillary regulation is (1) subordinate to an express power, and (2) a customary or necessary way of carrying out the express power. For example, in regulating commerce, Congress can require accurate labels on goods to be shipped in interstate commerce. But Congress cannot regulate the entire manufacturing process.
*   The word "proper†means that a law must comply with Congress's fiduciary (public trust) responsibilities. A law is not "properâ€â€"and is therefore unconstitutional— if it invidiously discriminates among people, violates individual rights, is utterly irrational, or exceeds congressional authority.
*   Contrary to prevailing legal mythology, Chief Justice Marshall's famous case of McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) did not stretch the Clause, but applied it properly and with due regard for its limitations.
Recently, Dave Kopel, the Independence Institute Research Director, filed an amicus curiae brief in the most important anti-Obamacare lawsuit. He did so on behalf of Professors Lawson, Seidman, and me. The goal? To correct the record and inform the courts what the Necessary and Proper Clause REALLY means.
In private life, Rob Natelson is a long-time conservative/free market activist, but professionally he is a constitutional scholar whose meticulous studies of the Constitution's original meaning have been published or cited by many top law journals. (See http://constitution.i2i.org/about/.) Most recently, he co-authored The Origins of the Necessary and Proper Clause (Cambridge University Press) and The Original Constitution (Tenth Amendment Center). After a quarter of a century as Professor of Law at the University of Montana, he recently retired to work full time at Colorado's Independence Institute.

Why Europe is a disaster zone for car companiesJune 21, 2013: 5:00 AM ET
From cantankerous unions to soft demand, car makers of all stripes are finding the continent a vexing place to do business.
By Doron Levin
FORTUNE -- European automakers are keeping fingers crossed every month for a ray of sunshine that tells them the worst market in memory might be ready to improve. It didn't happen again in May, when sales were lower than in any May since 1993. Registrations dropped 5.9% year over year to 1.04 million.
Worse still, analysts are saying things won't be getting better in Europe for a long time due to shattered consumer confidence. Alix Partners of Southfield, Mich. reports in a new study that car buying on the continent might not improve until 2019.
The political and economic repercussions are immense for the industry because weak demand for vehicles has pushed factory capacity utilization to lows not seen for more than half a century. Governments have spent billions in incentives to prop up buying and now must contend with layoffs in connection with idle factories.
PSA Peugeot, Fiat, Renault, Opel -- owned by General Motors (GM) -- and Ford (F) have been especially hard hit, along with plants in southern Europe. Automakers like BMW, Daimler, and Volkswagen -- prosperous in global emerging markets and selling to premium buyers -- have so far avoided the worst financial pain.
MORE: This is what the world will look like in 2045
Dieter Zetsche, Daimler CEO, tried to put the best possible face on the position of his company, which makes Mercedes-Benz vehicles. He told the Financial Times this week that "we are feeling growth impulses, but they are coming from our (new) products. In the last months we've had significant positive growth rates in difficult markets."
The only country running counter to Europe's trend is the United Kingdom, where auto sales rose 11% in May. The U.K. may be faring better because, having opted out of Europe's common currency, it is not as tied to the continent's economic troubles.
Theories abound as to what might be holding consumer confidence back and what might have to happen for the public to cheer up. One is that the German election this fall, in which Angela Merkel is seeking a third term as chancellor, pits her against a candidate that is talking about "wealth inequality." In the event of a left-leaning government and higher taxes, the expectation is that economic growth might be held back.
Because Germany is considered to be the financial growth engine for Europe, any doubts about that country's economic future spill over onto neighbors, especially countries to the south, where fiscal woes have been toughest.
Europe is notorious for its rigidity in manufacturing. Automakers complain that governments and European Union rules have tied their hands, giving them insufficient opportunity to close plants, lay off workers, or cut production when demand falls. Not surprisingly, some automakers such as GM and Peugeot Citroen are collaborating to cut costs and lower risk.
MORE: Why Instagram wants to rule video
Alan Mulally, Ford's chief executive, said this week in India that Ford will be exporting more vigorously from that country to Europe. Ford plans to export its EcoSport small crossover from a plant in Chennai later this year.
On top of the weak economic demand, automakers are battling changing tastes among young consumers, who more and more no longer regard cars as status symbols. That's one reason why top-notch infotainment systems are becoming more important to the selling of vehicles, perhaps as much as horsepower and fuel economy.
