Communiqué de Presse

JVC Professional Products, division of JVC U.S.A., today announced the new, 10 MegaPixel DLA-SH7NLG, a 4K D-ILA projector incorporating three 1.27-inch 4K2K D-ILA display devices for high-quality imaging and dual ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps for 5,000 ANSI lumens of brightness. Combining superb definition and resolution with low-cost maintenance, the 4K2K D-ILA projector is available now and is ideal for planetariums, museums, simulators, and medical institutions, as well as high-spec design and monitoring facilities.

The new model joins the DLA-SH4K, which debuted in January 2008 as a 4K D-ILA projector and quickly drew high praise. Like its predecessor, the DLA-SH7NLG achieves ultra-high resolution of approximately 10 megapixels (4,096 x 2,400), which is five times the resolution of full HD, plus the projector has a stunning 10,000:1 native contrast ratio.

Notable features of the new DLA-SH7NLG include:
1. With approximately 10 megapixels of resolution, JVC’s 4K2K D-ILA devices can simultaneously display two or four screens in WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution. Multi-screen projection is facilitated by four DVI (Dual-Link) input terminals supporting an array of PC input formats. The DLA-SH7NLG also offers a low latency mode for simulation environments.

2. True black quality with stunning 10,000:1 native contrast thanks to a wire-grid optical engine.

3. Dual 330W ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, producing 5,000 lumens of brightness. In single lamp mode, the DLA-SH7NLG can automatically choose the lamp with less cumulative operating time for maintenance efficiency. This, plus the addition of a low-power mode, enable lamp life of approximately 3,000 hours, which is about double that of conventional projectors. Such features allow the DLA-SH7NLG to offer low running costs even under heavy professional use.

4. Elaborate design offers operational flexibility, including stacking two projectors to display 3D images or installation on a +/- 90-degree tilt. The DLA-SH7NLG only weighs about 110 pounds, excluding lens.

5. Three different lenses, including short-focus and telescopic models, are available for various projection environments.

The DLA-SH7NLG operates on normal AC 100-220V power and consumes less than 1.1 kW. Convergence can be adjusted to 1/10 pixel accuracy via GUI control, and three gamma tables are included. Six test patterns, including a crosshatch and color bars, enable image adjustment without external signal sources.

Projection configuration data is easily stored and uploaded from a USB memory device. The Ethernet-compatible DLA-SH7NLG can be configured via a PC Web browser, and multiple projectors are networkable for operation via a single PC. Plus, for improved maintenance, e-mails can be generated automatically to send lamp replacement reminders and error status notifications.

The DLA-SH7NLG has an MSRP of under $150,000 plus lens and is available immediately.

JVC extended its D-ILA Lineup of 4K projectors with the latest DLA-SH7NLG. Just like its 4K predecessor (DLA-SH4K), it is capable of four times the resolution of full HD as of approximately 10 Mpixel (4,096 x 2,400). As to the distinguishing specs, they above all include 10,000:1 native contrast ratio, 5,000 ANSI lumens of brightness and the capability of simultaneously displaying two or four screens in WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution thanks to its four DVI (Dual-link) input terminals. There are also three different types of lens offered, including short-focus and telescopic.

JVC USA announces the price as MSRP of under $150,000.

Ah, the patent wars. As you're probably aware, TiVo spent years fighting a big legal battle with EchoStar/Dish Networks over some patents on DVR technology. TiVo won big, and then immediately turned its patent lawyers on some other companies including Verizon. In Verizon's response to TiVo's lawsuit, it went nuclear back, accusing TiVo of violating Verizon's patents on DVR technology -- including a patent that the world's biggest patent hoarding firm, Intellectual Ventures, gave Verizon for the purpose of being used against TiVo.

So is it any surprise to hear via Broadband Reports that Verizon is now suing Cablevision, claiming patent infringement on its set top box/DVR offerings as well? Cablevision and Verizon have had a really nasty battle going for years on Long Island, with all sorts of dirty tricks being played by both sides. But patent infringement? Given the odd timing of this lawsuit coming so quickly on the heels of the counterclaims against TiVo, you have to wonder if Verizon "woke up" to the fact that it could use these patents against Cablevision, only after provoked by TiVo.

Indeed, if you look down the list of patents in the Verizon Cablevision spat, you'll see that there's some overlap with those found in the TiVo suit:

• 5,666,293: Downloading operating system software through a broadcast channel
• 5,635,979: Dynamically programmable digital entertainment terminal using downloaded software to control broadband data operations
• 5,608,447: Full service network
• 6,367,078: Electronic program-guide system with sideways-surfing capability
• 7,561,214: Two-dimensional navigation of multiplexed channels in a digital video distribution system
• 6,055,077: Multimedia distribution system using fiber optic lines
• 5,864,415: Fiber optic network with wavelength-division-multiplexed transmission to customer premises
• 6,381,748: Apparatus and methods for network access using a set-top box and television

The three in bold are found in both lawsuits. Now, to be fair, before looking at the details, I was guessing that Verizon would also be using the patent it got from IV, but that patent (5,410,344) appears to be the one patent that Verizon is asserting against TiVo, but not against Cablevision. I have no idea if this is because nothing Cablevision does is covered by that patent, or if Verizon has limitations on what it can do with the IV patent. Still, given the overlap here, the timing, and the fact that many of these patents are pretty old, you really have to wonder if the lawsuit from TiVo and the scouring of patents for a countersuit also gave Verizon the idea to sue its arch-nemesis in the Long Island market over the same issues.

Former senior tax manager says tax-avoidance schemes amounted to false accounting

A former employee of Lloyds Banking Group has accused the bank of artificially inflating its profits by almost £1bn through the use of aggressive tax-avoidance schemes and exotic "Lehman- style" offshore deals which he said amounted to false accounting.

The former senior tax manager at the bank told an employment tribunal Lloyds was involved in running battles with Revenue & Customs after it embarked on a hostile relationship with the tax authority over multimillion-pound corporation tax bills while involved in extensive manipulation of the way it accounted for unpaid taxes.

Between 2005 and 2007, he said, the bank insisted that finance staff devise ever more elaborate ways to depress a growing tax bill, many of them involving the now collapsed Lehman Brothers and the discredited financial products division of AIG, the American insurer that cost the US government $80bn to rescue. By 2007, the bank was excluding more than £900m of potential tax in its accounts, allowing it to inflate profits by the same amount.

Lloyds, which is now 41% owned by the taxpayer following its government-backed takeover of HBOS two years ago, denied the charges, which it said were investigated and found to be "without merit". The bank said: "Lloyds Banking Group strongly believes it complies with all of its obligations under tax law, both in the UK and overseas. We will vigorously defend any claims that suggest otherwise."

But the bank's former head of tax compliance, Andrew Constantine, told the employment tribunal that Lloyds refused to listen to staff who voiced concerns about the tactics adopted by the finance department, or institute reforms that would put its finances on a legal footing.

For three years he made representations to board members that the tax planning adopted by the bank was unethical and amounted to false accounting. He also warned that a breakdown in the relationship with HMRC would damage the bank and lead to even higher tax bills.

His testimony echoes claims by Paul Moore, the former head of group regulatory risk at HBOS, who alleged he had repeatedly been threatened after claiming internally that the bank's lending policies posed "a serious risk to financial stability and consumer protection".

Constantine, 54, was made redundant last September in a move he said was driven by the desire to silence a whistleblower. He said his early retirement also contravened laws on age discrimination.

Last year, following a long-running investigation, HMRC accused Lloyds at a tax tribunal of disguising loans to American banks as investments in order to avoid potentially large tax payments. Lawyers for HMRC said Lloyds and other UK banks were involved in moving funds worth hundreds of millions of pounds from one jurisdiction to another to avoid tax.

Lloyds was accused by MPs on the Treasury select committee of bending the rules to maximise profits, which also resulted in large bonuses for executive directors.

Lloyds Banking Group's chief executive, Eric Daniels, who is the only surviving chief executive of a taxpayer-owned bank, told the committee: "I would tell you that we do not do anything other than adhere to the spirit and letter of the law."

Constantine, who has since become head of tax at the FTSE 100 insurance group Aviva, said it was a longstanding aim of the Lloyds board to limit its tax charge, but it was only in 2006 that the use of artificial vehicles to hide potential liabilities began to make a significant impact.

"If the finance director wanted a new tax figure their staff worked to that figure and they delivered it too," he said. "The tail was wagging the dog in that the need to hit the bank's effective tax rate forecasts was driving the business."

Lloyds said it did not dispute that Constantine told senior executives of his deep misgivings. It said: "Mr Constantine's allegations about the Group's tax planning were fully investigated and found to be without merit. The Group maintains an open and transparent dialogue with HM Revenue & Customs. We have made adequate provisions for all our tax liabilities.

"Like any organisation, we will seek to reduce tax impact where it is practical and appropriate but we always comply with all aspects of tax regulations in all the jurisdictions within which we operate."

Seems like all my favorite college hoops teams are playing in tournaments.

Harvard’s Crimson go up against Appalachian State tonight in the CIT.

UCSB’s Gauchos are the 15th seed in the NCAA Men’s Midwest bracket, a checkbox win for #2 seed Ohio State on Friday night.

The Quakers of my alma mater, Guilford College, are back in the Final Four of the NCAA’s Division III, after polishing off Eastern Mennonite. They take on Williams Friday afternoon. Have a bunch of friends with Williams connections too.

My long-time fave Division I team, Duke, is the top seed in the NCAA South bracket. They play a team whose jerseys say ARPB, before facing the winner of the Cal-Louisville game. My daughter and a bunch of neices and nephews are Cal grads, so I’ll be rooting for them, should they survive.

I was Knicks fan growing up, but I didn’t follow basketball much until I went to Guilford in 1965. North Carolina is basketball country in any case, and somehow I got into playing it as well there. Nothing serious, just pick-up intramural ball. My whole game was shooting long-range bombers, and I lacked all the other skills (dribbling, passing) one expects to go with that one. But at least I wasn’t taken last when teams were chosen, which for me was exceptionally positive feedback.

As it happened Guilford also had damn fine basketball teams the whole time I was there. They were often ranked #1 in the NAIA, and in ‘68 (a year they lost in the finals to Oshkosh State) they graduated three players into the NBA. The best of those was Bob Kauffman, the #3 pick in the draft that year. Bob went on to become a 3-time All-Star, and then the head coach and general manager of the Detroit Pistons. He completed that career by making the mistake of giving Dick Vitale the head coaching job. In 1975 Guilford won the NAIA tournament with a team that included World B. Free and M.L. Carr.

My Division I sympathies were originally with Wake Forest (also in the NCAAs) since my entire coterie of North Carolina relatives were affiliated in one way or another with the school. When I moved to Chapel Hill after college, however, I became a Carolina fan. I still am. But my overriding affection for Duke was born at the first pre-season game of the 1977-78 season. That was when freshmen Kenny Dennard and Gene Banks joined Jim Spanarkel, Mike Gminski and Johny Harrell to turn a has-been team into what would become the powerhouse it has been ever since.

But I didn’t know that then. I was working on the Duke campus in the Fall of ‘77 at the time, and was invited to that game (against St. Francis Xavier) by David Hodskins, who would become my business partner for most of the following two decades. David was a Duke grad with season tickets to games at the very intense Cameron Indoor Stadium. I was his date for many of those games over many years, and couldn’t help getting into the team.

While Duke had good years during Vic Bubas‘ tenure as coach back in the 1960s, it had been nowhere for most the decade that followed. In those days, as the UCLA dynasty (the biggest ever, never to be repeated), NC State, Maryland and Carolina were the cream of the ACC. Duke joined that elite with what John Feinstein (another Duke grad) called Forever’s Team: the 1977-78 crew I saw play that pre-season game. Now people say, “How can you like an overdog like Duke?” Sorry, can’t help it.

Speaking of overdogs, I’m also a Celtics fan these days too, for roughly the same reason: I’m local here. And I like the team. Celtics coach Doc Rivers and I have a common friend in Buzz Bruggeman, who is a hard-core Duke fan too — as well as a former college hoops player. Buzz got into Duke when he went to law school there.

Wish I could say I expect Duke to win it all. Hope they do, but I just picked Kansas. Or maybe it was Kentucky. (The Kid just went downstairs to check.) Okay, it’s Kentucky. Whatever, it’ll be fun to follow. I see that CBS has the games on-demand over the Net. Count me in for that. We got nothing but Net here. (Hey, it’s the future of what used to be television. I just hope that single purpose — pumping “content” — doesn’t defeat the rest of them.)

Conservative media figures and outlets have falsely claimed a New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) survey found that 46 percent of primary care physicians would consider leaving their profession if Democrats' health care reform bill passes. In fact, NEJM says that the 3-month-old email "survey" was not published in or conducted by NEJM.

NEJM spokeswoman confirms: Survey has nothing to do with the "original research" published in The New England Journal of Medicine

Media Matters for America contacted The New England Journal of Medicine and received confirmation from spokesperson Jennifer Zeis that the study had "nothing to do with the New England Journal of Medicine's original research." Zeis also made clear that the study "was not published by the New England Journal of Medicine."

The Medicus Firm, a medical recruitment firm, conducted the survey

The Medicus Firm conducted the survey in December 2009. The Medicus Firm, a Dallas- and Atlanta-based firm that recruits and places physicians in jobs, was responsible for conducting the survey. It issued a press release about the results on December 17, 2009.

Article actually appeared in employment newsletter. The report appeared in Recruiting Physicians Today, an employment newsletter produced by Massachusetts Medical Society, "the publishers of the New England Journal of Medicine." The report also appeared on the NEJM "CareerCenter" website, but was taken down on March 17. Zeis also said that this article "was written by The Medicus Firm." Both versions of the write-up clearly indicate that the source for the survey is The Medicus Firm and provide contact information for its media relations department.

NEJM CareerCenter website: "Recruiting Physicians Today is a free advertiser newsletter," and the survey report represents opinions "of The Medicus Firm only." The report written by The Medicus Firm about its survey appeared on the NEJM CareerCenter website, which "offers a full suite of physician job searching tools," and "provides physician-employment articles in the resource center, offering helpful articles on physician careers, physician job-hunting tips, physician employment trends and more." The report was taken down from the CareerCenter on March 17 and replaced with the following message:

Recruiting Physicians Today is a free advertiser newsletter published by the Worldwide Advertising Sales and Marketing Department in the publishing division of the Massachusetts Medical Society. Each issue of the newsletter features research and content produced by physician recruiting firms and other independent groups involved in physician employment.

On December 17, 2009 The Medicus Firm, a national physician search firm based in Dallas and Atlanta, published the results of a survey they conducted with 1,000 physicians regarding their attitudes toward health reform. To read their survey results at The Medicus Firm website, click here.

The opinions expressed in the article linked to above represent those of The Medicus Firm only. That article does not represent the opinions of the New England Journal of Medicine or the Massachusetts Medical Society.

Methodology involved emailing doctors in The Medicus Firm's database. The NEJM CareerCenter article indicated that "[t]he survey sample was randomly selected from a physician database of thousands. The database has been built over the past eight years by The Medicus Firm (formerly Medicus Partners and The MD Firm) from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, public directories, purchased lists, practice inquiries, training programs, and direct mail responses. The survey was conducted via emails sent directly to physicians."

In "survey" write-up, physician recruitment firm touted the importance of physician recruitment firms "[a]fter health reform is passed and implemented." After discussing the results of its "survey," the article added:

What does this mean for physician recruiting? It's difficult to predict with absolute certainty, but one consequence is inevitable. After health reform is passed and implemented, physicians will be more in demand than ever before. Shortages could be exacerbated further beyond the predictions of industry analysts. Therefore, the strongest physician recruiters and firms will be in demand. Additionally, hospitals and practices may be forced to rely on unprecedented recruitment methods to attract and retain physicians. "Health reform, even if it's passed in a most diluted form, could be a game-changer for physician recruitment," said Bob Collins, managing partner of The Medicus Firm in Texas. "As competitive as the market is now, we may not even be able to comprehend how challenging it will become after health reform takes effect."

Media falsely attribute survey to The New England Journal of Medicine

Bill O'Reilly: Survey was "published by The New England Journal of Medicine, a prestigious magazine." On the March 16 edition of his Fox News show, Bill O'Reilly said, "A new survey published by The New England Journal of Medicine, a prestigious magazine, says that nearly half of primary care doctors in America could leave the medical profession if Obamacare is passed." After citing statistics from The Medicus Firm survey, O'Reilly said, "I believe the study in The New England Journal of Medicine, because I've talked to enough doctors myself to know there's no great enthusiasm for Obamacare in the medical community, even here in liberal New York City."

Kilmeade: NEJM "published a report and did a survey" that found doctors "feel reform will force them out." On the March 17 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade said: "Well, if this does in fact pass, no matter how it does pass, what would it mean for the medical profession, those who spend so much money, oftentimes go way in debt, just to be doctors for you, not to be rich. You don't do the -- you don't become a doctor to be rich, you know, now especially. How do they feel about it? Well, The New England Journal of Medicine has published a report and did a survey, and they said the impact of reform on primary care physicians, 46 percent, they say, feel reform will force them out or make them want to leave medicine."

HotAir.com: NEJM "polled health-care providers." On HotAir.com, blogger Ed Morrissey wrote: "And you thought wait times were long now. The New England Journal of Medicine, hardly a bastion of conservative thought, polled health-care providers to determine their reaction to ObamaCare, and discovered that it has many doctors looking for the exits. Almost half of all general-practice doctors would feel compelled to leave medicine altogether if it passes."

Hannity guest attributes study to NEJM. On the March 16 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity asked Milton Wolf, a radiologist who says he is President Obama's second cousin, "Will this plan that they're now pushing, and I think in a very corrupt way, do you believe this will harm and -- if you believe so, how greatly will it harm our health care system?" Wolf replied: "We just learned from The New England Journal of Medicine that a significant percentage of doctors would consider leaving -- seriously consider leaving the profession if this went through. We will actually have less providers if this went through to try to take on these extra burdens, and there would be no choice but to ration care. They've already built it into this plan."

Marc Siegel: "A new study in The New England Journal of Medicine says that one-third of physicians would consider quitting or retiring early if this goes through." On the March 16 edition of Fox News' Your World, Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel stated: "First of all, the [American Medical Association] is a bureaucratic organization that doesn't represent practicing doctors. A new study in The New England Journal of Medicine says that one-third of physicians would consider quitting or retiring early if this goes through."

La Premier League a confirmé mercredi le retrait de neuf points à Portsmouth, pour prix de son placement en redressement judiciaire, ce qui condamne le club du sud de l'Angleterre à une relégation en deuxième division.

 

Intras atypiques par excellence, les SA-6 de Sleek Audio réussissent la prouesse de changer la signature sonore par le biais de petits filtres (graves ou aigus) interchangeables. Les SA-1 (présentés en octobre) n’ont pas la prétention de concurrencer les SA6, d’autant plus qu’on ne joue pas dans la même division. Mais c’est bien sur le marché de l’intra entrée de gamme que Sleek compte prendre du terrain.

Proposé à un tarif de 60€, ce modèle se bat sur le terrain de Shure, Etymotic, Philips, Sony et autres Jays pour ce qui est du grand public (reste les intras Chinois). Il y a fort à parier que ce SA-6 simplifié (seulement 2 filtres disponibles) en palissandre peut tirer son épingle du jeu.

Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!

Today we take a look at Chris Yost and Scott Wegener's Killer of Demons...

Enjoy!

The gist of Killer of Demons can be described in these sample pages from this fun 3-issue mini-series from Image last year.

As you can see, demons exist on Earth. They are not allowed to KILL humans, but they can seduce them into killing each other (or do various other repugnant things, like commit adultery or do hardcore drugs).

So Dave Sloan is tasked to kill the demons, with the help of his angel advisor.

The problem is that only Dave can see the demons, so it brings to mind the question - is Dave killing these demons because that's what God wants, or is he just imagining things and he is actually one of the worst mass murderers alive?

Those are the questions Killer of Demons grapples with (along with the fact that Dave's significant other happens to be a police officer, so that brings the pair into conflict on the whole "seeming mass murder" thing.

It is a really fun comic book, especially the stuff that the demons get humans to do - demons are everywhere, including at the fast food drive-in trying to get you to super-size your order!

Chris Yost really does a wonderful job getting all the humor out of the concept that he can, and everyone already knows from Atomic Robo how great of an artist Scott Wegener is, so I don't need to say how great he is (He's great, by the way).

This is a blast of a series, and I really hope this initial series isn't the last that we see of these characters!!
