CAR rebels agree to ceasefire, unity govt under Bozize
Date created : Latest update :
Rebels in the Central African Republic have agreed to a ceasefire and forming a unity government under President François Bozize, with elections set for next year. Rebels had been demanding that Bozize resign to face charges at the ICC.
Central African Republic President Francois Bozize and the rebels who sought to overthrow him have reached a deal that will allow him to stay in office until his term ends in 2016, officials said Friday.
The announcement came after several days of peace talks in Gabon, which were organized after an alliance of rebels groups swept through the north of the country and seized control of a dozen towns.
On Friday, Bozize publicly shook hands with the rebel representatives - whom he had denounced as terrorists just two days before - and other political opponents to seal the deal that spares his ouster.
The rebel offensive stopped short of the capital of Bangui but posed the gravest threat to Bozize during his nearly 10 years in power.
"The president, backed into a corner, was forced to make a number of concessions and to make true of his promise to encourage a government of national unity," Margaret Vogt, U.N. special envoy to Central African Republic, told the U.N. Security Council by videoconference from Libreville, Gabon.
Bozize said he would move to dissolve the government Saturday so that a national unity government could be formed that would be led by a prime minister chosen by the political opposition.
"For me, it's a victory for peace because from now on Central Africans in conflict zones will be finally freed from their suffering," Bozize said upon arriving at the airport back in Bangui. "I ask everyone to stay calm. As for me, I still remain the president of Central African Republic."
News of the agreement, which includes a cease-fire, was met with relief on the streets of Bangui, the capital of Central African Republic.
"This agreement could help to calm the anxiety of people who are truly afraid," said Albert Mbaya, 40, a philosophy professor in Bangui.
While Friday's agreement appears to suggest a swift resolution to the rapidly advancing rebellion, it still remains to be seen whether forces on the ground will abide by the deals reached in Gabon.
Seleka, which means alliance in the local Sango language, is made up of four separate groups _ some of whom have previously fought one another.
Friday's announcement also does not explicitly address some of the broader grievances raised by the rebels, including aid to the deeply impoverished north of Central African Republic.
The fighters, who began their collective offensive on Dec. 10, had previously called for Bozize to step down from power and had dismissed his calls to form a national unity government.
Under the deal announced Friday, neither the prime minister nor the president would be eligible to take part in the next presidential election, Vogt said.
Friday's agreement also includes a provision that legislative elections will be organized in a year, according to a statement read by Chadian Foreign Affairs Minister Moussa Faki Mahamat.
"The mandate of President Bozize is a constitutional question. We cannot challenge the Central African Republic's constitution," said Chadian President Idriss Deby, who presided over the closing ceremony for the talks.
Bozize seized power in 2003 after a rebellion, and later went on to win elections in 2005 and 2011, though the United States and others have described the votes as deeply flawed.
His government gained support earlier this month when militaries from neighboring countries Chad, Gabon, Republic of Congo and Cameroon all sent forces to help stabilize Central African Republic. Additionally, South Africa also has sent military aid.
Despite Central African Republic's wealth of gold, diamonds, timber and uranium, the government remains perpetually cash-strapped. The land-locked nation of 4.4 million, a former French colony, is among the poorest countries in the world.

I decided that I would call this a day of "car caching" in Langley as most of the caches we did seemed to be car related. We found numerous caches in a series named after the cartoon movie "Cars". Even our first cache was called Gomer Pyle and it was located at a private garage where the owner was obviously a nostalgia buff as he had made the garage look like a service station from the 1950's.
The owner has installed two old gas pumps, placed old pop signs and an old temperature gauge near the office door, and had even placed an old roadster racing car from what I would guess is from the 1940s or older on the roof of the garage.
Mixed in among the car caches were a cache at a Starbucks, (always fun to try and be inconspicous there), a cache by the Nicomekl River, another cache in a flood zone along the Nicomekl River, (could not find that one), a skate board park cache, several neighbourhood park caches, and a cache in a green belt area that we have visted a few times before.
ABOVE: The Albion Ferry
Along the way we ran into some fellow cachers and surprised them with the camcorder running. We got the basic reaction of "WHADAYA DOING WITH THAT CAMERA, WHADDAY FILMING US FOR"? Once we explained who we were, Mr and Mrs Bigbopper1 were put at ease, and we had a pleasant conversation with them about caching and other things in life.
We capped the day off by taking a night time cruise across the Fraser River on the Albion Ferry on our way home to Maple Ridge.
I shot video continously during the day and have put togther the more interesting tidbits for you to view.

Sybrina Fulton, the mother of slain teenager Trayvon Martin, testified this morning in the ongoing trial of George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is charged with second degree murder in Martin's death. Martin's parents have been in the court every day of the trial.
- Russell Lewis, NPR's Southern Bureau Chief
And we want to take a few minutes now to update the George Zimmerman murder trial. He's claiming self-defense in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. At the heart of the testimony today, a 911 recording from a resident as Zimmerman and Martin scuffled. NPR's Russell Lewis joins us. And Russell, the big question has been who is yelling help on that recording, Trayvon or George? Trayvon's mother testified today, highly anticipated. What happened?
RUSSELL LEWIS: Yeah, it was certainly highly anticipated, the first witness of the day, called to the stand, sitting there very stoically, answering questions. And, you know, as you say the question is was it Trayvon Martin screaming for his life, or was it George Zimmerman? And prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda was subdued in his questioning of Martin's mother after the tape played. Here it is:
BERNIE DE LA RIONDA: Ma'am, that screaming or yelling, do you recognize that?
SYBRINA FULTON: Yes.
RIONDA: And who do you recognize that to be, ma'am?
FULTON: Trayvon Benjamin Martin.
LEWIS: And, you know, that was pretty much it. And she says that is my son. And what mother hearing a scream wants to hear that it is her son? And that really is sort of what this case has sort of zeroed down on. But an FBI audio expert testified a few days ago, basically, that he could not determine who was screaming and that it really could only be done by someone who knew the victim.
That said, when that same recording was first played for Trayvon's father, he said that it was not his son screaming.
YOUNG: Yeah, so there's some complications there, as well. But also today, Trayvon Martin's older brother took the stand. Did he speak about the screams? What did he say?
LEWIS: Yeah, it was his older brother, Jahvaris Fulton. He's a student at Florida International University. He was with his family and attorneys when he first heard the tape, and later he told a television reporter, soon after hearing it, that he wasn't sure that it was his brother's voice on the phone. But today on the stand, Jahvaris Fulton testified that he was in denial at that time and that he had hoped that it was not his brother's voice on the tape. But he did say today that he now believes that it was Trayvon Martin on that recording.
YOUNG: I know you also want to tell us about a key moment from yesterday, or Wednesday, actually. Yeah.
LEWIS: Yeah, it was on Wednesday. Jurors heard testimony from the medical examiner, Valerie Rao. She studied the injuries that Zimmerman had received during the fight with Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman had told police that Martin had repeatedly bashed his head on the sidewalk. And here she is questioned by prosecutor John Guy.
JOHN GUY: In terms of severity, how would you classify the injuries to the defendant's head?
VALERIE RAO: They were not life-threatening. They were very insignificant.
LEWIS: And so, there's actually been a lot of conflicting testimony since this trial began. Even some of the prosecution's own witnesses have sometimes contradicted each other.
YOUNG: Yeah. So, how long before you think the prosecution will wrap up, and what's the sense of the defense's case?
LEWIS: Well, we're expecting the prosecution to wrap up later today. And in terms of the defense, you know, I mean, that's a good question. Legal experts believe that the defense has made some headway in its case just by questioning some of these inconsistencies in the prosecution's witnesses. So it's possible that they may decide to call fewer witnesses and actually shorten their case.
It's really hard to say how long the defense will go. We should remind folks the six-member jury has been sequestered since the trial began. The real question is whether the defense will decide George Zimmerman to testify on his own behalf. And if convicted, we should remind folks that Zimmerman faces up to life in prison.
YOUNG: NPR's Russell Lewis, who's been following the George Zimmerman trial. Russell, thanks so much.
LEWIS: You're welcome. My pleasure.
YOUNG: All right. We'll take a break for the latest news. That's next, HERE AND NOW. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

All of a sudden we are hearing the name of Saul Alinsky in almost every utterance Newt Gingrich speaks. Saul is becoming more famous now than he was in life. So who is he, and why is he being resurrected?
Alinsky was born in 1909 to Russian Jewish immigrant parents. He grew up in Chicago and wanted to be an archeologist, but the depression ended those dreams. He became an American community organizer and writer, and focused on improving the living conditions of the poor. His work took him to many places, among them Chicago, California, Michigan, and New York. Even though he didn't join political organizations, he was spoken about frequently by politicians and pundits.
William F. Buckley said he was close to being an organizational genius.
Adlai Stevenson said his aims reflected the ideals of brotherhood, tolerance, charity, and the dignity of the individual.
Gov. George Romney, Mitt's father, said it would be good to listen to Alinsky.
Dick Armey hands out copies of his books to activists. His group is Freedom Works.
Hillary Clinton wrote her thesis about him.
So it is obvious that many from the left, the right, and the middle have known about this man and his work. He was a deep believer in grassroots organizing and institutional religion. In 1969, he was given the Pacem In Terris Peace and Freedom Award by a coalition of Catholic groups. Other recipients were Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu, and Mother Teresa. So it is just about impossible to pigeonhole this man. He was an individual in the best sense of the word — one who believed in his capacity to change the world and make it better for those less fortunate.
He was not a communist, or a socialist. He was a reformer. He believed that people could create positive change, and his book "Rules for Radicals" gave some ideas and suggestions about how to do this. It has been used by college students in the 1960"s and the tea party in the last few years, as well as many other groups.
"Rules for Radicals" was written in 1971, one year before Alinsky's death. It was written for the have nots, just as Machievelli's "The Prince" was written for the haves to hold onto their power. It is available on Amazon for less than $8. So you can read it for yourself, and then you won't have to depend on a former politician who wants to be president at any cost to interpret what it says for you. Just as he calls our president a "food stamp president", his dire warnings about Alinsky are code words for unpleasant underlying meanings. Nothing is as it seems in these pronouncements. Remember the "Southern Strategy "?
Our president, Barack Obama, was a community organizer, but he was also a lawyer, a professor, a Senator, and a writer. He is an extremely rational, thoughtful, accomplished president. Calling him names is juvenile. It is one thing to disagree with his polices, but to use scare tactics is demeaning. And I doubt that it will work. More and more, people are appreciating Obama and his approval rating is climbing.
For Alinsky, organizing was the process of highlighting what is wrong and then convincing people that they can do something about it. One of his quotes reminds me a little bit of the Occupy movement and a little bit of New Age thinking.
"We must believe that it is the darkest before the dawn of a new world. We will see it when we believe it."

HANG TIME WEST – The Nikola Mirotic Watch is officially on, with an NBA.com story last week stating the No. 23 pick in the 2011 draft likely would have gone in the lottery had he waited a year to declare followed by a Chicago Tribune article that increases the spotlight on the Bull-in-waiting.
In short, if Mirotic is improving this much and is plotting an eventual jump to one of the prominent organizations in the NBA – and the world, thanks to the long-ago Michael Jordan branding – there will be a lot of eyes on him going forward. Plus, there is the wait that will also drive curiosity: the Tribune's David Haugh reports the summer of 2013 appears to be the earliest Mirotic would leave Real Madrid in Spain and that '14, two more seasons away and three since he was drafted, is possible.
"I can't tell you right now when, but for sure I want to be totally ready when I take that step," Mirotic told the Tribune. "Currently I have a contract with Real Madrid and personal and team goals that I'd like to achieve. I want to improve as a player, and to get this goal (of playing for the Bulls), it's not advisable to go fast."
More buildup?
Ettore Messina, the Real Madrid coach the previous two seasons before joining the Lakers' staff for 2011-12, told NBA.com:
"I think he can be very good. He has the size, he has the mobility, he can put the ball on the floor for a big man, and he has range. He definitely has the NBA range and a quick release. I think he can really be effective in this league once he gets physically stronger, more powerful."
Who does Mirotic compare to in the NBA?
"David Lee, maybe," said Messina, a coaching legend in Europe who left the Lakers after the season to be a head coach again with CSKA Moscow. "Can we call him a young Kevin Love just to get the fans excited? Yes, we can call him a young Kevin Love. Obviously he has a long way to go to become like Kevin, which an All-Star, but that kind of player while being very effective on the perimeter has the ability to put the ball on the floor and is tough enough to get the job done close to the basket…. Nikola will be able to play inside, outside, flash, pop, roll. Mix his game."
Mirotic, 21, needs to add muscle on his 6-foot-10, 210-pound frame to play power forward, but two years is a lot of time to bulk up. It's a lot of time for a lot of things at his new level of prominence in Europe and at least one city in North America.

Our aim for stakeholder engagement is to actively engage with our stakeholders using a common approach based on best practice to design and deliver high quality and innovative policy, programmes and regulations to achieve better health and wellbeing for all Australians, now and for future generations.
Stakeholder engagement is critical to the realisation of our strategic priorities and for the successful delivery of our vision. We value our stakeholders and the input and knowledge they can bring to any issue we are dealing with. Our stakeholders include peak bodies, NGOs, industry, health professionals and consumers as well as other government departments and agencies at the Commonwealth, and state and territory level.
A capability review of the department identified stakeholder engagement as an area for improvement. As a result we have undertaken a major piece of work to build our capacity to engage effectively with our stakeholders.
We invite our stakeholders to be involved in how we improve our engagement interactions and build and maintain effective working relationships.
The department has adopted five key principles to guide stakeholder engagement activities. These principles set the standards to which we aspire in building consistent, open and respectful working relationships. In return we ask for honesty and respect from our stakeholders when dealing with the department.
A stakeholder engagement framework represents the department's commitment to work effectively with our stakeholders, to listen and learn, and to continue to improve our performance.
The department will monitor the application of its stakeholder engagement commitment regularly to review and continuously improve our engagement interactions and working relationships.
For more information or to provide feedback on the stakeholder engagement strategy, please email the stakeholder engagement policy team. All enquiries not related to the department's stakeholder engagement strategy should go through the general enquiries process.

EASTLAKE, Ohio (AP) -- Police in northeast Ohio say an off-duty pizza delivery driver put the company's sign on his car roof and pretended to be on the job to avoid being stopped for drunken driving.
But it didn't work. Police in Eastlake, east of Cleveland, stopped 29-year-old Michael Christian earlier this week after another motorist reported that he was weaving on the road. Christian couldn't finish the field sobriety test and was arrested.
Det. Lt. Robert Gonzalez of the Eastlake Police Department tells WJW-TV (http://bit.ly/1kiX62o ) that the man admitted that he had done it before, putting the pizza sign on his car when he wasn't working so he could drive drunk without police pulling him over.
He's due in court next week. No attorney information was immediately available.

How VMS-bundled DVRs and NVRs perform is explored in this third of three articles.
Scale dictates whethera software-bundled appliance or pure video management software (VMS) is called for. "A hardware-based, bundled solution usually works better for small to medium-sized installations with little need for scalability or future expansions," said Jacob Loghry, Systems Engineer II, Adesta (a G4S company).
Dedicated VMS is open to all vendors, while hardware-based solutions are purpose-built for one manufacturer's video equipment. This makes the components in boxed VMS critical, with device support depending on processing power, said Alf Chang, Senior Consultant for a&s magazines.
Processing will affect how many cameras can be connected to the storage device. Installers will determine the number of cameras per box, based on frame rate and resolution, Loghry said. While integration and scalability are limited by the VMS' box, ease of use is almost guaranteed. A single vendor enables "deep" integration of all functions, making configuration smoother.
Ease of UseConfiguration is an issue for large projects, making flexible VMS a plus. "Installers care about configuration, as it takes time to set up 100 cameras," said Charles Chen, Product Marketing Manager for EverFocus Electronics. "You can easily copy and paste schedules and event configurations for various cameras to save installation time."
More NVRs replicate the plug-and-play ease of analog. "The NVR provides an auto-search function for network cameras, simplifying the installation process," said Vincent Chen, Assistant VP of Product Marketing at GeoVision. Advanced features included remote viewing and analytics.
A simple approach will speed the migration to IP. "I'm very passionate about plug-and-play with video devices," said Danny Petkevich, VP of Engineering, Next Level Security Systems. "Once you plug in a camera, it should auto-discover, configure and stream it. That's the experience people are used to in analog."
The user interface should be intuitive, with contextual help for functions. "We understand our challenge is to make usage simple for both end users and administrators, rather than limiting features," said Jakub Motycka, Head of the Technical Department for Koukaam. "That's why Koukaam incorporated automatic camera discovery and setup, as well as automatic router control, into our firmware."
An uncluttered interface is easier to navigate for busy operators. "If you can use Windows, then you can use this VMS," said Mark Wilson, VP of Marketing for Infinova.
Ease of use is a trade-off, since users will have limited choice. "Some features will be more complicated and have a more complex interface," said Cardy Huang, Product Marketing Director for Nuuo.
Vertical-SpecificSome hardware-based VMS solutions are geared for specific applications, offering greater convenience. "A mom-and-pop store or SMB with four cameras does not need the same enterprise-level functionality of a casino or airport with hundreds of cameras," said Matthew Clark, Marketing Manager at Instek Digital.
An application-targeted approach yields purpose-built software and hardware. "We offer VMS for mobile traffic applications and ATMs," said James Tseng, Senior VP of Telexper. "For the traffic software, it includes fleet management."
Some vendors offer tools that let users build their own interface. "If someone wanted a very purposebuilt retail solution with people counting and heat maps, they can expose all that functionality and make it simple to use in that context," Petkevich said.
Owners can keep track of their business with remote monitoring. "It can set restrictions like at a daycare center, where parents can only view the classroom their child is in," said Chen of GeoVision.
Browser-based remote viewers can support different operating systems. "It really frees up the developer to be on a PC, Mac, Linux or even mobile device," Petkevich said.
Scalability Some boxed VMS solutions enable enterprise scalability. "We are installed at business parks, so we take a large system and then divide it into modules," Tseng said.
Some VMS supports distributed architecture and allows unlimited recorders and cameras to be connected to the system, offering a one-stop shop for customers. "GeoVision offers a complete , integrated solution from cameras and recording to management , " said George Tai , CEO of GeoVision. "This enables system integrators to fulfill more project requirements and benefit from learning only one solution, which is suitable for small and enterprise projects."
New equipment should support existing devices. "We do larger installations, like the Panama Canal," Wilson said. "About 60 percent of our business is in large projects with more than 64 cameras."
IntegrationHardware integration is simple, taking anywhere from a day to weeks to fully support a third-party camera. "Our solution supports more than 600 models of network cameras with ONVIF, PSIA and other protocols from different manufacturers," said Chen of GeoVision.
IP video standards are relatively young. "Everyone interprets the specification differently," Petkevich said. "I hope a year from now it will be truly plug-and-play."
However, even standards and camera APIs do not ensure a speedy installation. "We support more than 1,000 models, but the difference in time to add cameras is a magnitude of 10," Huang said. While some cameras follow established interfaces, other cameras have insufficient documentation and do not perform as they are supposed to.
Users expect the box to work with any connected camera. "Our NVR doesn't require any special license or installation of paid third-party software — everything is in the box already, so customers get an 'all-in-one' solution," said Lubomír Kadaně, Marketing Manager of Koukaam.
SoftwareWhile hardware-based VMS tends to be closed, third-party software is being integrated more. "Integrating third-party analytics to the VMS isn't hard," Huang said. "But accuracy is another issue."
Other vendors examine the most useful software features and bake them into their VMS. "As far as thirdparty analytics go, since we provide analytics, we don't need to integrate with third-party software and don't need to pay installation fees," Petkevich said. "We cover 80 percent of the market."
VMS also works well with other systems. "For back-end equipment, we offer a management platform that integrates with BA systems, such as lighting, carbon monoxide detection and smoke detection," Tseng said.
Processor Re quirementsAs DVRs convert analog inputs to digital outputs, decoding will affect the VMS. "Software performance depends on processor testing," said Chen of EverFocus. "We don't want our software to underperform, but we can't boost power beyond the processor's limits."
Processors matter for what the VMS tries to accomplish. "Next-generation Intel boxes have better performance for video decoding, but do not have the things that Texas Instruments or Hisilicon has," Petkevich said. "The latter have the added functionality of deinterlacing, compositing, resizing or alpha-blending planes."
NVRs can work without the decoding hassle. "DVR chips do decoding, which is the reverse of an NVR with pure IP inputs," Huang said. "Higher-resolution cameras, along with how many there are, will affect processing power."
PC -BasedPC-based VMS boxes use standard computer components, which are not always designed for 24/7 surveillance operation. "Video display, both live and playback, puts a toll on processors," Clark said. "The decoding process requires a lot of processing power, while features such as map or alarm display only account for a very low amount of processing power."
Performance also depends on how the software is programmed to run on the processor. "We deploy a PC-based solution, so we use a CPU and RAM to make up for the front end's shortcomings from decoding and decompression," Tseng said. This type of solution works on dual-core CPUs with 2 gigabytes of RAM, making it compatible with most hardware.
Payment PlansBundled VMS typically includes a number of camera licenses. However, if users wish to expand, they can purchase additional camera licenses instead of another box. Only cameras are licensed, while servers do not require licenses, said Chen of EverFocus.
The camera approach keeps pricing simple. "The VMS is licensed by video input, by any type of camera," Wilson said. "There is no registration of the MAC address for each camera."
Other vendors license the VMS and server, as well as the cameras. "We are more flexible and provide packages," Tseng said. "If you have 128 or 256 channels, it will be cheaper than buying licenses by camera."
A bundled solution can save on training fees as well. "We require no training or certification for our system," said Jumbi Edulbehram, VP of Business Development, Next Level Security Systems. "Our strategy from day one is our product and interface should be as easy to use as a smart phone."
SaaSMost embedded VMS providers found remote monitoring an interesting trend, but took a dim view of its long-term prospects. "At this point in time, SaaS still costs more than an on-site installation for a long period of subscription," said Chen of GeoVision.
Thus, adoption rates are slow for managed video. "Even if the advantages are quite clear — no one can steal it, permanent supervision — without a fast and reliable Internet network, it will be impossible or George Tai, Matthew Clark, Marketing Manager CEO of GeoVision at Instek Digital James Tseng, Senior VP of Telexper Product Exploration 8262 JAN 2011 www.asmag.com 22 difficult to handle," Motycka said.
The market will need time to accept remote monitoring. "Remote storage for cameras depends greatly on bandwidth, which is something a telco or ISP wants to charge for," Tseng said.
Residential prospects are hazy, as demand for video management functionality is low. "Homeowners just want to see video, so we're not sure if this is a market we want to be in," Huang said. "There's not much opportunity for differentiation. It does have great camera volume, but the software doesn't offer great value to the customer."
However, hosted video is a good fit for SMBs. Users can remotely manage sites, access information from anywhere and store video to a hosted site. "It's more efficient to store video locally," Edulbehram said. Business owners can afford small systems for each location, which can be managed centrally.
Pros and ConsEase of use is one of the advantages for hardware-based VMS. "Usually, smaller projects in the SMB market prefer hardware-based VMS, as they need simplicity, basic functions and a low price," Huang said.
Bundled VMS works on a single vendor's video lineup, with the added security of no viruses or spyware for a local network. "It is useful for small camera systems like in a home, small office or small shop, but I wouldn't recommend free software for critical or larger applications," Motycka said. "Disadvantages of free software include less advanced features, with usually no alarm handling, archiving, redundancy or advanced user rights management."
VMS deployments go faster when all devices work together. "The bundled approach simplifies things for installation, deployment and management, as opposed to having many different vendors," Edulbehram said. "You have just one point of contact. It massively simplifies pricing."
A comprehensive solution relates to ease of use, with the added benefit of accountability. "A turnkey system will cut down on installation headaches and costs, and the manufacturer will provide full support in the case of a problem to reduce the long-term cost of the system," Clark said.
Hybrid SystemsSome vendors offer their VMS as software and hardware. "Previously, customers would use a CMS server to broadcast all the images, and the network would have issues, such as losing data packets," Tseng said. A backup controller ensures images are captured, even if the main server breaks down. "We can manage 2,048 channels with our enterprise software and support 48 channels on our NVR."
At GeoVision, a purchase of any network camera or video server is bundled with fully functional NVR software for 32 channels. "The solution is cost-effective, and customers can determine their own NVR hardware," Tai said.
Infinova OEMs its VMS from Video Insight, for a best-of-breed solution utilizing existing equipment. "If you want to bundle all your solutions and mortgage your future on one camera, that's fine," Wilson said. "Our VMS helps people migrate from analog to IP, but in a cost-managed way. We've enabled the software to actually manage analog equipment."
Dedicated VMS works best with IP video, requiring analog control room equipment to be replaced. "We have seen pushback for legacy situations," Wilson said. "We have an Ethernet interface on the matrix switch, so our software can manage matrix switches and video walls on an IP network."
ChallengesVMS development is affected by camera breakthroughs and their growing processing requirements. "Currently, the drive to IP is for megapixel and its greater clarity," Huang said. "As it grows, it affects transmission and storage. For all projects, storage for NVRs and cameras is a high cost. These things will be concerns in the future with megapixel surveillance."
Storage will need higher efficiency to keep up with megapixel or HD video. "RAID has become a risky standard for video storage because of the stresses on hard disks — temperature, vibration and wear — thus producing a high probability of disk failure," Clark said. Alternatives such as linear array of idle disks technology offer reliability and reduced risk of data loss.
Connectivity is also a trend. "Integration will increase in the market," Chen of EverFocus said. Wilson agreed, saying, "What you're seeing in the industry overall is convergence at a high level."
VMS delivers added value, making it essential for security. "The future challenge will be integrating on a larger scale with emerging standards such as ONVIF and PSIA," Clark said. "As the industry gains confidence in the standards, the next shift will be how you leverage the data available."

Like many ceramists who choose to focus on sculptural explorations in clay rather than utilitarian forms, Ann Mortimer's work still has ties to the vessel tradition. The WAG's sculptural group is composed of seven discrete pieces. A circular salver/tray rests on three "legs," which are actually high-sided cups. Perched on the tray are three large "buds" or bird-like forms with porcupine quill inserts. All are low-fired and feature an encrusted, kelly green, "lichen" glaze. Mortimer's work has been featured in over 100 national and international exhibitions over the last 20 years. She co-founded the Institute for Ceramic History (now the Ceramic Arts Foundation) in 1985 in an effort to promote scholarship in contemporary ceramics.

Working from home today due to a follow-up appointment with the oral surgeon, I was pleasantly surprised by FedEx which delivered my Low-Key Hillclimbs kit. And I was very pleased with the result!
Here, for reference, was my post on the design.
Here's a brief photograph, taken by Bryn Dole, who also ordered one:
Compare and contrast with the preview:
It came out pretty much exactly as expected, with one small detail: I implemented a drop shadow as a translucent black layer, which forms grey on white but darkens other colors. Somehow that came out as grey on colors as well. But it still works. It's a very minor detail. Also, the green on the front extends a bit higher than I'd anticipated. But the rest of the design came out extremely well.
And the fit: perfect. It's a lightweight jersey which fits me snugly, perfectly suited for hillclimbs (okay, perhaps a skin suit would be better for hillclimbs, but this is still excellent). And the pockets are a nice size, with an added pocket for credit cards or cash so they won't get accidentally lost when pulling a vest or bar out of one of the main pockets. And the shorts fit well, with the straps the correct length for me, the text and climbing guy on the back right where they're supposed to be.
I look forward to wearing it. For the next few climbs I do I'll probably be in the Team Roaring Mouse colors. But come Low-Keys in fall, this is what I'll have on.

Washington Post continued to suggest Whitewater wrongdoing; ignored numerous official investigations that cleared Clintons
Research ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
In a June 23 editorial, The Washington Post continued to suggest that former President Bill Clinton was guilty of wrongdoing in connection with the Whitewater land deal, despite the fact that numerous government investigations -- most led by Republicans -- turned up insufficient evidence to charge the Clintons with anything. Referring to Clinton's just-released autobiography, My Life, the Post's editorial, bearing the unintentionally appropriate headline "Alternate Universe" -- argued:
The matters leading to impeachment aren't the only ones where Mr. Clinton veers from the nonfiction category. The tangled real estate investments that became known as Whitewater merited investigation, and the inquiry produced numerous convictions.
The Post misled its readers when it wrote of "numerous convictions"; those convictions didn't involve wrongdoing by the Clintons, as the Post well knows. The Post has long existed in its own "alternate reality" regarding Whitewater; the newspaper relentlessly promoted the story, to the point of virtually ignoring the conclusion of each successive government investigation into the matter: that there was no basis for charging the Clintons with any Whitewater crime.
Earlier this year, Columbia University journalism professor Todd Gitlin wrote, in a letter to Columbia Journalism Review, "The Post's obsessive driving of the Whitewater semistory surely told politicians that fiery smoke was roaring out of Bill Clinton's Arkansas. As a result of shoddy reporting in both the Post and The New York Times, the national agenda was easily hijackable. No surprise, it was hijacked, never mind that there was nothing to Whitewater but foam." In 2002, Salon.com's Joe Conason wrote, "The Post editors apparently believe that, unlike any other targets of a criminal investigation in the United States, the Clintons aren't entitled to the presumption of innocence. For them, a decade of extraordinarily costly investigation that resulted in no indictments, let alone convictions, is not enough to discourage insinuations of guilt."
The Post has published thousands of articles and editorials about Whitewater -- but, mysteriously, has tended to provide its readers scant coverage of some key developments that pointed to the Clintons' innocence. Some of the many examples include:
In 1995, the Post virtually ignored a report that cleared the Clintons of wrongdoing in several key areas of Whitewater. In December 1995, the law firm of Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro produced a report by Republican former prosecutor Jay Stephens for the Resolution Trust Corp. that "found no reason to file civil suits against the president and first lady," according to Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz. The report also noted that the Whitewater investment didn't harm Madison Guaranty (the S&L owned by Whitewater partner Jim McDougal) and "found no basis for the RTC to sue anyone associated with Madison's failure," according to Kurtz. Yet Kurtz noted that The Washington Post -- his own newspaper -- virtually ignored this government report, produced by a former Republican prosecutor, that cleared the Clintons of wrongdoing in one of the key elements of Whitewater. According to Kurtz, "The Washington Post mentioned the findings Saturday in the 11th paragraph of a front-page story about a Whitewater subpoena battle, and ran a short Associated Press account Tuesday on Page 4." [Kurtz, The Washington Post, 12/22/95]
In late 1998, the Post editorial page ignored Whitewater independent counsel Ken Starr's concession that he lacked evidence to pursue a Whitewater case against Clinton. On November 19, 1998, Kenneth W. Starr told the House Judiciary Committee that he lacked sufficient evidence to pursue a criminal case against Clinton in connection to Whitewater. The Post, which had printed literally thousands of articles about Whitewater -- a Nexis search for Post articles containing the words "Clinton" and "Whitewater" through November 1, 1998, yields more than 2,000 results -- made no mention of this seemingly significant fact in its November 22, 1998, editorial about Starr's testimony. In fact, the Post, which had editorialized heavily about Whitewater for several years, didn't mention the word "Whitewater" at all in an editorial for two months after Starr's concession that he didn't have the goods on Clinton.
In 2002, the Post continued to insist the Clintons might be guilty, even after yet another official investigation concluded with no charges against the Clintons. When Whitewater independent counsel Robert W. Ray, who succeeded Starr in that office, released his final report in 2002 without filing charges against the Clintons, the Post still clung to its "alternate reality" that the Clintons might be guilty of something, anything; the Post editorialized on March 22, 2002, that the evidence was "inconclusive as to whether the Clintons committed crimes in their dealings with James and Susan McDougal" and insisted that there is "ample reason to suspect wrongdoing by both the former president and Sen. Hillary Clinton."
Even after investigations by special prosecutor Robert Fiske (a Republican); by independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr (a Republican); by former prosecutor Jay Stephens (a Republican); by the House Banking Committee (chaired by Republican Jim Leach); by a Senate Whitewater panel (chaired by Republican Alfonse D'Amato) all failed to produce evidence with which to charge the Clintons of a crime, The Washington Post's editorial page stubbornly refuses to acknowledge what had long been obvious: The Clintons are innocent of wrongdoing.
As The New York Times -- a newspaper that has displayed no shyness about pushing Whitewater over the years -- editorialized on March 24, 2002, as Ray was completing his investigation, "If an eight-year investigation fails to find any substantial evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the Clintons, the only fair response is to declare them cleared."

Daniel Leader's quintessential French sourdough with sesame seeds
Long time lurker, first time poster. This was one of the very first breads I learned how to make, from the very first bread book I ever owned. It's been a long, slow learning curve, but I eventually figured out how many times to refresh my starter out of the fridge before a bake, how much steam to use, how to shape, how to score (I've produced many delicious but extremely ugly loaves over the past few years), etc. The one on the left is perfect, but the one on the right had a small blow out that broke the surface tension, ruining one of the scores and slightly reshaping the loaf itself. I suspect that I probably didn't degass well enough before I did the final shaping... does anyone have any other ideas about what I might have done wrong here?
(Apologies for the bad pictures... I'm a terrible photog, and I only have the camera on my phone)

Radio-based equipment operating through 3 GHz is expanding into many different markets, creating a growing demand for maintenance and service for this radio equipment. Fortunately, Rohde & Schwarz has squeezed the equivalent of a measurement laboratory, with analyzer, power meter, and test signal sources, into its R&S CMA180 radio test set. It can check and maintain microwave radios from 100 kHz to 3 GHz by generating test signals with bandwidths as wide as 20 MHz, passing them through the equipment or radio under test, and then evaluating the returns at power levels as high as 150 W through 3 GHz. All this performance is packed into a housing light enough for portability but with an option for rack mounting in a standard 19-in. equipment enclosure.
The R&S CMA180 radio test set offers the flexibility of an integrated arbitrary waveform generator that can produce different types of radio test signals under local or remote control. It generates signals from 0.1 MHz to 3 GHz with 1-Hz frequency resolution, and can produce signals with amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), phase modulation, and single-sideband (SSB) modulation. These test signals are clean and stable, with less than -130 dBc/Hz phase noise in a 1-Hz bandwidth offset 10 kHz from carriers of 0.1 to 30 MHz, less than -113 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz from 30 to 890 MHz, and less than -110 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz from 890 to 3000 MHz. Test-signal output levels can be set with 0.01 dB resolution across wide output-level ranges. From 0.1 to 30.0 MHz, the output level range is -120 to + 8 dBm; from 30 to 2000 MHz, it is -120 to +10 dBm; and from 2000 to 3000 MHz, the output level range is -112 to +5 dBm. The output level uncertainty is less than 1.5 dB at any power setting and frequency.
The test set also includes a large touchscreen and straightforward control menu to simplify testing and setup. The arbitrary waveform generator can create signals with a wide range of modulation types as well as signals with interference and other impediments for testing equipment under realistic signal environments. The radio test set has an integrated sequencer to configure and manage automatic test sequences to simplify repetitive measurements.
The R&S CMA180 provides a number of different input-power ports for sending test signals to its internal signal analyzer and power meter, with the RF COM port capable of handling 100 W continuous-wave (CW) power and 150 W peak power across the full frequency range when equipped with a high-power attenuator. Option power-meter sensors are available for linear power measurements. The test set measures just 14.19 × 7.69 × 13.82 in. (360.5 × 195.4 × 351 mm) and weighs about 24 lb (10.9 kg).

Differences between CVS and git for PKP devs
From PKP Wiki
Revision as of 09:00, 31 January 2013 by 220.127.116.11 (Talk)
- The most fundamental difference between git and CVS is that git never keeps files but always full repository directory trees versioned. You simply cannot "commit a file" in git. You'll always commit snapshots of the whole project which are uniquely identified by an SHA hash over the whole code source tree! These snapshots can then be linked to each other arbitrarily. That's why in git it is so easy to have several parents to a current version (=merging) or several children (=branching) to a common ancestor. In CVS branching and merging is extremely complex as all changes have to be expressed as patches between file versions.
- Another important difference to understand is that you always have a complete copy of the remote repository on your machine. In git you'll never commit to the server but always to your local repository. This is nice as you can commit wherever you are, even without connectivity and in any case much faster than over the net. From time to time you'll synchronize your local repository with the server to publish your changes to others on the web and to receive changes others have published in the meantime. The downside of this flexibility: Not only do you need version control commands as in CVS (checkout, branch, merge, commit, ...). You also need a whole suite of synchronization commands (pull, push, fetch, remote, ...).
- And finally a big warning: Git gives you a lot more (too much?) freedom to manipulate version history than CVS. In git there is no separation between repository administration and usage. This includes that git imposes no real constraints on retrospective changes (including commit comments, parent-child relationships between versions, changes contained in commits, etc.). If, however, you do these retrospective changes after others already have copied them from your public repository then you'll cause your colleagues a lot of headache. They'll not be able to merge from your development branch as you've destroyed the "historical link" that binds the state of their local repositories to your repository. In other words: There is no danger if you change whatever you've not yet published. That's what git's freedom is for. But never change what you've published. Whenever you use the -f/--force switch, keep in mind that you're about to change history (how pathetic ;-)).

So what are people saying about Queen Hair Sculpture™ these days? Buzzfeed has a hilarious piece about how Gingrich Production's communications directer massaged Callista's Wikipedia page over and over, repeatedly, and then got caught lying about it, and then "made peace" with the Wikipedia editors. I wonder if he's the one who deleted the funny gag about Callie-Lou's "superb skills at oral sex"? This is a fairy tale for the 21st Century. Disney will make this story into an animated feature in 2035.
Turning to a tale quite a bit less suitable for a children's movie is Media Snack's story about reporters from Vice asking the Gingriches if they had an "open marriage," to which Newt said no but Callista, thrillingly, did not.
Speaking of which, sorry, I haven't bought the National Enquirer with the Callista lesbo fantasy yet. That's because I'm scared. Scared that such a great thing couldn't possibly be true. Have you braced yourself for the letdown? Stay tuned!
Next, the Financial Times cruelly uses Callista as an exception to the rule that politicians' wives "humanize" their husbands, stating that her "stand-by-your-man role seems like a throwback." Bitches. They're just jealous.
And finally for today, Callista's charity of the month is the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, an association of ladies who are rich and attend cocktail parties at George Washington's house. One day, Callista, you will rule them ALL.

We all know that you're pretty smart, your friends and family know it, the people you work with know it, and if you have kids, they might even know it, that is if you're lucky. Although you do not doubt that you're ridiculously intelligent, every once in a great while you have to give your brain a workout and prove to yourself once more just how brilliant you are.
An IQ test stands for "intelligence quotient," and these scores have been used for years to figure out how smart a person is. While an IQ test is not the perfect measure of your intelligence, some of the good ones tend to be pretty accurate. We've put together one that would test the mettle of even a true genius. We aren't trying to brag, but If Stephen Hawking were still around, he would have a hard time getting all the questions right. Of course, the results of this quiz are just an estimate of your intelligence, but we already know you're about as smart as they come.
So clear your mind, and get ready to blow us away with just how smart you are, because we think that only a genius can get a perfect score on this IQ quiz. Go ahead and discover just how much of a genius you are by taking this quiz!

Security Cover for 7 Seater Rondo
I was told I couldn't have a security cover for the rear compartment of the 7 seater Rondo. Only the 5 seater has the hardware. I found a Rondo site in England that sells the parts needed and I just finished installing the rear cover after acquiring all the parts. The cover can be removed in about 2 minutes if I ever need the 3rd row of seats. I made a slide show of all the steps I took for installation if you care to click on the link.
If you haven't already this would make for a great guide on Carspace. Click the "Guides" link above to submit it!0
Thanks. I've added it to the guides section.0
Thank you!0
Wow, this is great thanks. Could you post the site in England where you got the parts?0
In England the Rondo is called the CARENS. Here's the site:
Click on "Design my Carens". When the page changes, click on the picture of the Carens/Rondo as the cars move across the screen. When you do that it will show you all the options and accessories that are available.0
First and foremost... THANK YOU for sharing your experience regarding the cover installation. We have a 7 seater that we just got last week and i really really would like the cargo cover in Grey. A few questions... i've called Kia USA and they say that don't sell these at all. Is there a possibility that your friend in Europe could get the parts for me if I pay for everything. Also... would cutting and installing this as you did above effect any warrenty?? Hmmm another question... you said 'two mins' to remove it... it is a matter of just pulling the bar out correct? Thanks... Kary0
To answer your questions. I'm sorry but I really can't ask my friend in England to get involved in ordering parts for anyone but me. With the bracket number KME1DP8155WK hopefully you can either go to the British site mentioned and contact them to send the parts or really bug your parts dealer to get hold of them for you.
British Site: http://www.kia.co.uk/designMyCarens.asp
The gray cover is available from the same place I got my Beige. They are all the same price ($204) plus shipping and the link to the site is:
http://kiapartspeople.com/SearchProduct.asp?Model=Rondo&catid=3374648381583243&y- - ear=07&productdesc=Cargo+Cover
As far as warranty. There's no worry about affecting your warranty on anything except what you work on. The inside panels do have to be cut (there's nothing behind where you cut) and only if you cut and somehow managed to drill right through to the outside body panel would that outside panel not be covered anymore under the rustproofing warranty. In other words, warranty is only affected by what you do to a particular part. If you lower your car with lowering springs, if the engine blows up, they can't say your springs had anything to do with it, BUT, after lowering it, the front suspension broke, THEN they could say the springs help put unnecessary load on the front end.0
Thanks for the link to the parts people i couldn't get that far on their web site. With the hope that i'll get the brackets i did order the grey one and will post how I am able to get the brackets from UK and here to the states... unless i find something else that will work... we'll see. I am excited that you've been able to help me this far. Thanks again. Kary0
Your welcome. Yes, it's hard to get to the right page on The Kia Parts People site. I was given the exact page link by MedicineMan which is the only way I could find it. Good luck on the brackets. I've looked up things before on British sites and was able to have them shipped to me without a problem using my credid card.
Carey aka CREWZIN0
Hey there... I received my cargo cover today by UPS from the KiaPartsPeople. It is a perfect match to my interior grey color of my vehicle. I have yet to figure out how to get the brackets, however I am still working on it. For now I've got the cargo cover in the window wells, connected to my back seats (as they are supposed to) and attached to my 'net bag' which no one can see now when the hatch is closed. I am sooo excited that although it's 'jimmy rigged' this second it fits, matches and will work as soon as i get the brackets. I've had a no from the US Kia Company, a couple of Kia Dealers and the KiaPartsPeople. I am working on a couple Europe and Canadian dealers right now, i'll keep you informed. Kary0
Keep trying and in the meantime I sent an email to my friend in England to ask if the dealer he went to can take an overseas credit card order for the brackets. If they can, I'll pass the number on to you and you can deal with the UK dealer parts department direct.
Just thought I'd update my 'quest' for my brackets. I ran an ad on Craigslist in the UK and got a response that stated "how much are you willing to pay for your alleged brackets (wink, wink)" sheesh men and their minds... get out of the gutter.
BUT i think i might have a lead with a distant "god-cousin" lol that lives in Belgium. I emailed and am anxious to hear his response.
I LOVE my Rondo btw... and i think my friend is going to buy one also. AND I impressed my Cadillac driving step-father... what more can a girl ask for!
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I was up in Virginia visiting my son. I heard back from my friend in England and he called two dealers including the one who originally got the brackets for me but neither dealer seems interested in dealing with an overseas buyer for parts. :mad:
I called Kia in the US and it turns out that they do sell the security cover. I was told that the cover is listed as a part rather than an accessory. Kia gave me the part number and I called my local Kia dealer who had never heard of the part but ordered it for me. It is gray, and retractable rather than a solid one piece cover, and I like this. It cost $347 and the part number is 85910-1D000S8. I haven't had the time to install mine yet but it looks like it will install without any additional parts, and no alterations need to be made to the car. Hope this helps.0
I'm sorry to have to break the bad news to you, but if you've followed the threads on the security cover, www.KiaPartsPeople.com sells the retractable rear cover in 3 different colors to match any RONDO interior for $204 plus shipping. If yours installs without any additional parts then you have the 5 seater Rondo. The same cover fits the 7 seater but additional brackets are needed.
Here's the link to the covers:
http://kiapartspeople.com/SearchProduct.asp?Model=Rondo&catid=3374648381583243&y- - - ear=07&productdesc=Cargo+Cover0
conwelpic Ontario, CanadaPosts: 600asbruce based on your security cover cost of $347, sounds like you are from Canada as the KIA Canada website lists it at $341.84 as an accessory. It would help if you could fill out your location in your profile.
Crewzin, is right it will only fit without modification if you have a five seater model as the slots for the cover are already built into the side wall. Otherwise it won't work without the special brackets, that at the moment only seem to be available from the UK.0
