Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Replication is an elastic, fully managed, low cost feature that replicates objects between buckets. S3 Replication offers the most flexibility and functionality in cloud storage, giving you the controls you need to meet your data sovereignty and other business needs. With Amazon S3 Replication, you can configure Amazon S3 to automatically replicate S3 objects across different AWS Regions by using Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR) or between buckets in the same AWS Region by using Amazon S3 Same-Region Replication (SRR). Customers needing a predictable replication time backed by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) can use Replication Time Control (RTC) to replicate objects in less than 15 minutes.
When to use S3 Replication
Replicate objects while retaining metadata — If you need to ensure your replica copy is identical to the source copy, you can use replication to make copies of your objects that retain all metadata, such as the original object creation time and version IDs.
Replicate objects to more cost-effective storage classes — You can use S3 Replication to put objects into S3 Glacier, S3 Glacier Deep Archive, or another storage class in the destination bucket. You can also replicate your data to the same storage class and then use S3 Lifecyle policies to move your objects to a more cost-effective storage.
Maintain object copies under different ownership — Regardless of who owns the source object, you can tell Amazon S3 to change replica ownership to the AWS account that owns the destination bucket to restrict access to object replicas.
Replicate your objects within 15 minutes — You can use Amazon S3 Replication Time Control to replicate your data in a predictable time frame. Replication Time Control replicates 99.99 percent of new objects stored in Amazon S3 within 15 minutes, backed by a Service Level Agreement (SLA).
How S3 Replication works
Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR)
With S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR), you can replicate objects (and their respective metadata and object tags) into other AWS Regions for reduced latency, compliance, security, disaster recovery, and other use cases. S3 CRR is configured to a source S3 bucket and replicates objects into a destination bucket in another AWS Region.
Amazon S3 CRR automatically replicates data between buckets across different AWS Regions. With CRR, you can set up replication at a bucket level, a shared prefix level, or an object level using S3 object tags. You can use CRR to provide lower-latency data access in different geographic regions. CRR can also help if you have a compliance requirement to store copies of data hundreds of miles apart. You can use CRR to change account ownership for the replicated objects to protect data from accidental deletion. To learn more about CRR, visit the replication developer guide.
Use cases
Compliance — Amazon S3 stores your data across multiple geographically distant Availability Zones by default, but compliance requirements might dictate that you store data at even greater distances. CRR enables you to replicate data between distant AWS Regions to satisfy these requirements.
Latency performance — You can minimize latency if your customers or end-users are in two geographic locations by maintaining object copies in AWS Regions that are geographically closer to your users.
Regional efficiency — If you have compute clusters in two different AWS Regions that analyze the same set of objects, you might choose to maintain object copies in both Regions.
Amazon S3 Same-Region Replication (SRR)
Amazon S3 SRR is an S3 feature that automatically replicates data between buckets within the same AWS Region. With SRR, you can set up replication at a bucket level, a shared prefix level, or an object level using S3 object tags. You can use SRR to make a second copy of your data in the same AWS Region. SRR helps you address data sovereignty and compliance requirements by keeping a copy of your data in a separate AWS account in the same region as the original. You can use SRR to change account ownership for the replicated objects to protect data from accidental deletion. You can also use SRR to easily aggregate logs from different S3 buckets for in-region processing, or to configure live replication between test and development environment.
Use cases
Aggregate logs into a single bucket — If you store logs in multiple buckets or across multiple accounts, you can easily replicate logs into a single, in-Region bucket. This allows for simpler processing of logs in a single location.
Replication between developer and test accounts — If you or your customers have developer and test accounts that use the same data, you can replicate objects between those multiple accounts, while maintaining object metadata, by implementing SRR rules.
Abide by data sovereignty laws — Often customers are required to store data in separate AWS accounts while being barred from letting the data leave a certain Region. Same-Region replication can help you back up critical data when compliance regulations don't allow the data to leave your country.
Amazon Replication Time Control
Amazon S3 replication time control helps you meet compliance "or business requirements" for data replication and provides visibility into Amazon S3 replication activity. Replication time control replicates most objects "that you upload" to Amazon S3 in seconds, and 99.99 percent of those objects within 15 minutes.
S3 Replication Time Control is backed by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) on the replication of 99.9% of objects within 15 minutes during any billing month.
S3 Replication Time Control provides S3 Replication metrics that monitor the total number of S3 API operations that are pending replication, the total size of objects pending replication, and the maximum replication time to the destination Region. S3 Replication Time Control helps you meet compliance or business requirements for predictable replication times, and monitors that replication though Amazon CloudWatch Metrics at the replication policy level. To learn more about S3 Replication Time Control, visit the S3 Replication documentation page or the S3 Replication FAQs.
How S3 Replication Time Control works
Getting started with S3 Replication
Amazon S3 Replication (CRR and SRR) and S3 Replication Time Control are configured at the S3 bucket level, a shared prefix level, or an object level using S3 object tags. To get started with S3 Replication, please read the S3 Replication FAQs, the Replication web page in the Developer Guide, and for pricing see S3 Replication features pricing.

Heavy rain leads to flood concerns
Officials monitor river levels across state
Officials monitor river levels across state
Officials monitor river levels across state
A flood warning is in effect for the Suncook River going through Chichester and Epsom as water levels are expected to rise overnight.
In the 40 years that Dwyna Arvanitis has owned the Epsom Valley Campground, her business has taken a beating from Mother Nature – including Mother's Day of 2906, when a significabt flood infamously hit the town.
"It was walking around almost waist-deep in water," she said.
Arvanitis said she's thankful that during this flood warning, the National Weather Service is only predicting minor flooding. The Suncook River is currently sitting at about 6 feet, and is expected to rise another 21/2 feet and crest Friday.
The NWS said that could impact campsites at Arvanitis' business and the Lazy River Campground, also in Epsom.
"We're just making the rounds to the low areas along the Suncook River," said James Calderone, of the Epsom Fire Department.
These patrols have become routine for Epsom firefighters.
"Generally, we check the area to make sure the debris is picked up and everybody is aware of the situation, that the campgrounds are safe and no one is residing by the river," Calderone said.
In one area near the river, mobile homes were damaged by the flooding in 2006. All required removal and there have not been mobile homes on the site since.
Only a couple of Arvanitis' 70 campsites are in the floodplain but she's closely watching developments as they come in.
"It's going to be fine," she said. "Just think positive."
The river is expected to crest at about 8 1/2 feet. If it reaches 9 feet, there's increased concern that low-lying areas will experience flooding.

METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of our database between 2002 and 2009 for patients with de novo DLBCL who underwent surveillance PET-CT after achieving complete metabolic response (CMR) following primary therapy. RESULTS: Four-hundred and fifty scans were performed in 116 patients, with a median follow-up of 53 (range 8-133) months from completion of therapy. Thirteen patients (11%) relapsed: seven were suspected clinically and six were subclinical (all within first 18 months). The positive predictive value in patients with international prognostic index (IPI) <3 was 56% compared with 80% in patients with IPI ≥3. Including indeterminate scans, PET-CT retained high sensitivity 95% and specificity 97% for relapse. CONCLUSION: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography is not useful in patients for the majority of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in CMR after primary therapy, with the possible exception of patients with baseline IPI ≥3 in the 18 months following completion of primary therapy. This issue could be addressed by a prospective clinical trial.

FRDA is an autosomal recessive degenerative condition with neuronal and non-neuronal manifestations, the latter including progressive cardiomyopathy of the left ventricle, the leading cause of death in FRDA. Little is known about the cellular pathogenesis of FRDA in cardiomyocytes. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were derived from three FRDA individuals with characterized GAA repeats. The cells were differentiated into cardiomyocytes to assess phenotypes. FRDA iPSC- cardiomyocytes retained low levels of FRATAXIN (FXN) mRNA and protein. Electrophysiology revealed an increased variation of FRDA- cardiomyocyte beating rates which was prevented by addition of nifedipine, suggestive of a calcium handling deficiency. Finally, calcium imaging was performed and we identified small amplitude, diastolic and systolic calcium transients confirming a deficiency in calcium handling. We defined a robust FRDA cardiac-specific electrophysiological profile in patient-derived iPSCs which could be used for high throughput compound screening. This cell-specific signature will contribute to the identification and screening of novel treatments for this life-threatening disease.

As no current clinical test can diagnose individuals at risk of developing AD, the aim of this project is to evaluate a blood-based biomarker panel to identify individuals who carry this risk. We analysed the levels of 22 biomarkers in clinically classified healthy controls (HC), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's participants from the well characterised Australian Imaging, Biomarker and Lifestyle (AIBL) study of aging. High levels of IL-10 and IL-12/23p40 were significantly associated with amyloid deposition in HC, suggesting that these two biomarkers might be used to detect at risk individuals. Additionally, other biomarkers (Eotaxin-3, Leptin, PYY) exhibited altered levels in AD participants possessing the APOE ε4 allele. This suggests that the physiology of some potential biomarkers may be altered in AD due to the APOE ε4 allele, a major risk factor for AD. Taken together, these data highlight several potential biomarkers that can be used in a blood-based panel to allow earlier identification of individuals at risk of developing AD and/or early stage AD for which current therapies may be more beneficial.

This article was published in the January 1994 issue of The Journal.
We have been "rural" Christians for most of our married life. English village life has many joys, but also frustrations; for us, not least those caused by our continuing allegiance to two churches, often geographically far apart.
Our first village
At the beginning of our married life we were part of a small group of committed people trying to continue prayer and fellowship in an Anglican parish church where the vicar was on the point of retirement. Sunday worship was not a high point of the week, but the fellowship group was one of the best we have ever joined. The Catholic church in the village was strong but isolated, with few links with other churches. We attended both churches regularly, but felt we had to keep our heads down with the rather traditional priest.
Our second village
Our move to another village brought hope. Both vicar and priest were more supportive. We became involved in both churches in the way many interchurch families do I found myself on many Sundays ringing the bells at the Anglican church at the top of the hill, then driving hurriedly down the hill to play the organ for mass! Ecumenical work in the village was encouraging; the congregations did plenty of liaising, and we were fully involved. We were still unable to worship together with complete freedom Richard was welcomed for a blessing at mass, but this was such an unusual practice that our priest invariably forgot when we got to the altar rail, and this created confusion and embarrassment.
When Jonathan was born, we celebrated a very happy shared baptism service, attended by many people from both congregations. Churchgoing became fraught with the usual problems of those with babies, but on the whole we kept to "alternate weeks" attendance. It became more important to us to be at church together. The strains of family life with a baby meant we needed each other's support more, and for me the routine of worship and prayer was sometimes all that kept me from total disintegration.
Another move
We moved again. In looking for a community with strong churches in the unfamiliar Midlands, we came to our present home and were immensely encouraged to find that the Anglican parish church loaned its building to the Catholic congregation for Saturday evening mass. Surely, we thought, God has led us here; surely there will be plenty of sharing between the two congregations. It was not so. Saturday evening mass was attended by few people, and certainly not by young village families; the priest was elderly and tired, and six months after we moved in the Saturday mass was discontinued.
I became disheartened. The Anglican parish church had a good vicar, but he found work with young families hard. Many of the congregation did not see the need to encourage the younger generation. The Sunday school was strong, but run separately from the usual Sunday services. Attempts at family services were disappointing many of the congregation stayed away. We had begun to attend a nearby Catholic church, and even to get to know people a little, but as it was a few miles away the two communities were unlikely to meet and had little in common. The birth of Laura meant another baptism; we managed to celebrate again with members of both communities as well as our families, but this time there were two distinct groups in church.
For a year we often attended church separately. Practical considerations took hold other people's children never bothered us, but our own did! So I would go to mass on Saturdays, or at 8.00 a.m., and then often run the Anglican creche while Richard attended church. Sometimes we went together to one or other church while the children were in the creche. It was not ideal.
Keeping our heads down
We started attending another Catholic church, and settled, in a big congregation where it was easy to remain incognito. The priest was willing to offer communion to nonCatholic partners in our situation, so long as it was discreet, so Richard started receiving, which proved a great strength to us both. The arrival of a new priest, who found time to visit, added an actual invitation to share, and an explicit assumption that our children would grow up to share in both communities too, was wonderful. I participated fully in the village church worship also, and was made welcome. We learned to keep our heads down in both churches, and to count our blessings. But how could we contribute our real family experience to our respective church communities? Talk of "double belonging" made us wonder where we had gone wrong I didn't always feel I "belonged" in my own church, let alone in two.
As the children grew older, they entered the Anglican Sunday school with many of their village friends. Their attendance at mass was spasmodic Saturday evenings were rather late, early Sunday mornings too early and too much since they came also to Sunday school. Sometimes Jonathan would ask to come to mass with me, and when he was able to promise to behave, at about four, it became a privilege for him. A couple of years later we started to attend mass occasionally as a family on Saturdays, and on Sundays in the holidays when the village Sunday school closed down. The children settled well, but knowing few members of the Catholic congregation, and the irregularity of the children's attendance, meant that they had little sense of Catholic identity. Worship at the Anglican church was beginning to seem monotonous to me, and not really enough for when the children were older.
Discussion and prayer
All this cost us much prayer and concern. We tackled it together, but we didn't always see eye to eye on the solutions, either for our congregations or for our family. We have worked with others for many years to build up the worship and fellowship life of the village church, with some results, but it is an uphill struggle. I was keen to draw on our Catholic church community, both for the children's sake and for my own. Our priest has always laid great stress on rich worship patterns particularly family worship, and encourages the involvement of the children in mass, especially on feast days. We had to start to talk to each other about what was going to happen as the children fast approached First Holy Communion age indeed, Jonathan was so tall that he was often offered communion, to his embarrassment. The main practical problem was that the Catholic Sunday school was held on Sunday mornings after mass, which meant that the children would have to change completely from Anglican Sunday school to the Catholic one, so we should be less able to worship as a family, as Richard would often need to be at the village church for various duties.
We became more regular at attending mass together, and started praying hard for guidance. We talked the children quite carefully through the need to go twice to church. They were beginning to notice other interchurch friends receiving communion, and had close Catholic friends in the village, so their comments gave us our opportunity. We made it clear that if they were to make their First Communion in the Catholic church they would first have to spend time attending worship and really understanding what it was all about. As a couple, we had no disagreement about communion for young children, and also agreed that if it did not seem to be practical or desirable, we would not make the children go through with it. The prayers became more intense, and we were enormously grateful for prayers of godparents and other Christian friends.
After a year of attending mass together regularly, we asked our priest to come to discuss with us what would be appropriate. Jonathan was by now ten, and Laura eight. Children in the First Communion class were generally a year or two younger, and the rule was that they had to attend Sunday school for at least a year before preparation for First Communion, which took a further year. We were relieved that our priest and the Sunday school leader agreed that their religious education so far, at home and in the Anglican Sunday school, would count for the preliminary year, although both were worried about how it would look to other parents. In fact, our priest said that if the children found it difficult to settle in the class, he would be happy for us to prepare them ourselves. We found this encouraging, but felt it would be helpful to have other adult input, and the parish community to back us up.
Preparation for First Communion
The preparation course the class used was one designed for children in forces' schools abroad. On the whole, we found it good. There was homework every week, often quite simple, but adaptable to the age and understanding of our two. We embarked on it as a family. The logistics of attending mass, at a distance, followed by the children attending Sunday school for a further hour, and then needing collecting, meant that both of us had to be involved if we were to have any Sunday lunch at all. It became rare for us all to attend church together Richard had duties at the Anglican church and needed to be there, and the children and I were not able to be with him. This was the biggest downside of the programme. However, teaching and praying together as we helped the children think through their homework each week for about half an hour was tremendously uplifting. They took it seriously, in different ways Jonathan needed a more thoughtful approach, Laura perhaps a more spiritual one. We always talked to them separately, before coming together for a summing up, which mirrored our usual practice for bedtime prayer and Bible study. They learned a lot from each other, and became closer during this year. We were pleased we had waited till they were older to start the preparation we could never have gone so deeply into some of the ideas if they had been six or seven.
Meanwhile, our vicar had also been encouraging, and the Anglican Sunday school leader, though somewhat uncomprehending of our weird behaviour, proved supportive too. During halfterm holidays when the Catholic Sunday school did not meet, we returned to the Anglican church and the children were considered as still on the books. They were invited as a matter of course to parties and outings, which we appreciated. But some members of the congregation, particularly "parttime" ones, seemed not to realise that we were not there any more somewhat depressing! We felt guilty about one of Laura's friends, whose parents were not regular attenders, leaving the Sunday school because she was not there . . . I have to admit to finding the Anglican church service, when we went, as monotonous as ever, and really appreciated the family liturgy of Sunday morning mass week by week, with plenty of children's participation and more meaningful music. But regular informal services were starting up on Sunday evenings at the village church, which was encouraging, and meant we could all still feel part of the Anglican community.
Our priest holds a series of evening meetings for parents of First Communion children. The first two or three were about the first part of the children's course which dealt with Reconciliation, not the easiest aspect to start with! But we were pleasantly surprised to find, when we got to know people a little more, that Richard was accepted well, in a fairly large group of Catholic parents of all shades of belief. Group discussion made us as a couple talk about subjects which in the rush of family life we had not broached for years. As a Catholic, I had to confront my own doubts and lapses, particularly in relation to Confession, while trying to pass on my faith to the children, and this caused a lot of heart-searching.
The question of sharing communion
It was while attending these meetings, only a few weeks before the First Communion mass, that we had a real problem. We had asked our priest if, unlike the usual Sunday practice at our church, the children could receive communion under both kinds on this special occasion. He thought this would be "impractical", but he asked the other parents what they thought. Most thought it was a wonderful idea and, more than that, several mothers expressed their (nonCatholic) husband's desire to receive with the family at the same time. At the next meeting, our priest carefully explained what the Church's rules were, and equally clearly and compassionately explained what "some people" (us) felt about shared communion. He ended by saying that each person should decide prayerfully how he or she should in conscience act, but that he felt shared communion was not right. As far as receiving under both kinds was concerned, he was willing to ask the children what they wanted to do. It had become clear that most parents thought their children would wish to receive both bread and wine.
The request for nonCatholic husbands to receive communion and our priest's explanation of the rules made Richard feel very uncomfortable. Inevitably perhaps, what the priest was saying to us as a couple was at odds with his public statements, and it was unclear how far he actually approved of Richard receiving communion. A further issue was whether Richard, having made himself known as an Anglican in the discussions, would cause problems within the congregation if he received communion in such a public way when other nonCatholic parents had been told fairly explicitly not to do so. Communion under both kinds, which we had deeply wanted, would obviously make him more visible.
I found myself unable to share Richard's worries, which gave rise to much discussion. However, we worked through these doubts in prayer during the week. Richard came to feel that he could comfortably receive communion after all and, united again, we were able to talk to the children's godparents, mostly interchurch couples, about our priest's position and how we felt.
The week before the First Communion mass, our priest had the children for a whole day. The theme of the liturgy was to be "The Bread of Life", so they made bread and prepared prayers concerned with feeding the hungry. The whole congregation had been involved in praying for the children; their photographs were displayed and the First Communion mass became a community occasion in a wonderful way, as well as a family and personal one. The twentysix children did readings, prayers, songs, homily, and the offertory, all up round the altar, participating as fully as possible. The practical problems of offering communion under both kinds to a large congregation had been resolved, and we felt deeply moved and privileged to be there, accompanied by godparents and interchurch friends. It was the next stage in our Christian life as a family.
What next?
And yet it had happened all in one church, and we had to determine what we were to do next about our place in the Anglican congregation. Richard was fully involved in the village and I knew I should be, but was reluctant to return to the still (to me) uninspiring worship. Jonathan was about to start at the Catholic secondary school, and was happy to return to the Anglican youth group on Sundays, although few boys of his age remained in it. Laura was beginning to notice that her friends had left the Anglican Sunday school, and as she had made new ones at the Catholic church she felt like staying there. We could surely not split two and two to attend church on Sundays for any length of time.
Our present pattern is to attend the Saturday evening folk mass together. Our priest and the Sunday school leader, up to now supportive, disapproved of our decision to remove Laura from the Sunday school (Jonathan was too old for it by then), saying that it would make problems with other parents and teachers who felt that we had "used" the Sunday school to "achieve" the First Communions. In a way we had, but this accusation hurt us and made us wish, momentarily, that we had kept our heads down and taken up the suggestion of doing preparation for First Communion at home.
We are all again regular worshipping members of the Anglican church on Sundays, Laura inviting a friend to come with us. The children communicate in the village when they are present at the full eucharistic service, but only go up for a blessing when they return with the Sunday school just at the end. Most people have not even noticed, but the vicar and some of the congregation have been welcoming. There are positive moves afoot to liven up the Anglican worship, a new family fellowship group has started in the village, and although there will be problems fitting it all in, we look forward with hope.
When the children were small, alternate weeks' attendance was satisfactory, but not now. Both children are playing in the music group at the Catholic church, a commitment which should be regular. AISO7 the quality of the worship in the Catholic church is such that we feel it important to be regular. The Anglican Sunday school runs a good programme which it would be a pity for the children to attend only part time, and after the experience of Laura's friends dropping out, we have an evangelising role too! We don't know how long the children will be willing to be at church twice at weekends it will presumably depend on how worthwhile they find it, which depends to a large extent on the churches themselves.
Life as an interchurch family is never going to be "tidy". We have found that it needs evaluating regularly, and above all to be rooted in family prayer and discussion at all stages. We are just about to embark on the teenage years with our children. They may end up lapsed from everything, and we are not assuming that we are immune from those pressures which we see many friends confronting. For us, the two most important elements in nurturing an eventual adult believer are: to bring the child into contact with other committed Christians in as many ways and as intimately as possible; and to povide many opportunities, especially through worship and prayer, for the child to be brought into the presence of God.
Those are experiences which cannot be denied when our children ultimately have to make their own decisions.

This episode has a
voice-overof Radar reading a report as he is typing it. Comically, it includes where he puts punctuation and how he spaces the report. In each scene of the episode, the viewer hears the actual scene as well as hears the report that Radar is making.
The episode opens with a tired Radar O'Reilly drinking coffee, rubbing his eyes, and typing the weekly report from the commander officer of the 4077, Blake to Headquarters Seoul Commanding General. The report is from October 17 to October 24, 1951 inclusive. During this period of time there has been heavy wounded. All the surgical personnel have had to be on alert and working 24 hours. At one point he takes off his glasses, and tries to type using the adding machine. This starts the adding machine working. He knows how dumb it was and puts his glasses back on to use the typewriter. As he is typing out the report, you hear a female and male voice outside his office laughing. Hawkeye Pierce enters the office and asked for the keys to the linen room. Radar tosses him the keys. Hawkeye leaves the room and more female giggling is heard.
The next scene is in the operating room. The voice over lets you know that among the wounded is an enemy,
CommunistChinese prisoner. The following are the details of the incidences in the operating room. The voice over stops. Hawkeye is operating with a new nurse. He is flirting with her, trying to get a date. Frank Burns wants the chatter to stop. Henry Blake tells him to keep working. Trapper and Hawkeye starting joking the quality of his work. Frank says that none of his patients have ever complained about him. It is pointed out that his patients are asleep when he works on them. Hawkeye and his nurse, Lt. Erica Jones finish their patient. The next patient they are handed is the Communist Chinese prisoner who has a bullet in the rump. They attempt to put him under when he jumps off the table and grabs a surgical knife. Father Mulcahy attempts to calm with by saying "Fong Chow". The father thinks that this means peace. Lt. Colonel Blake yells for back up help from the guards. One operating room personnel trying to take the knife is cut. Another tries to grab the prisoner and a fight between him and the prisoner results in the last bottle of AB negative blood breaking. The Father is shouting "Fong Chow". Erica tries to talk the prisoner into giving up the knife, but she is cut. Hawkeye starts to talk to him when Klinger enters the room and his dress strap is cut by the prisoner. He points a gun at the prisoner which stops the incident.
In the next scene, Radar continues the voice-over. Radar says that "Fong Chow" means "your daughter is with child and that that brings much joy to our village." He makes a report on the incident stating that Klinger had loss of personal property of a bra sized 36B which needs to be replaced.
The next scene is Captain Pierce and Captain McIntyre discussing the incident. The operation with the prisoner was successful but McIntyre is worried about his patient who is still unstable as a result of the incident. Hawkeye tries to let Trapper see it from the prisoner's point of view. Trapper is not buying it. Trapper is concerned that his patient is not going to survive. Trapper asked about the nurses injuries. Hawkeye says that she is going to be fine with some help from his personal physician.
Next scene Hawkeye is walking towards the tent of Erica Jones and Frank is going to see Margaret. Frank walks into Margaret's tent and goes to kiss her on the neck to discover that he has kissed Klinger instead. Margaret walks into her tent and is mad to see Klinger using her things and kicks him out of the tent. Margaret and Frank decide they have had enough of this cross dressing pervert. They are going to get Klinger out of the 4077 once and for all.
Next scene is Hawkeye attending to Nurse Jones's wounds. He is flirting and seducing her until she picks up a glass with her left hand and he sees a wedding ring. He leaves the tent friendly but distancing himself from her.
Next scene is in Henry Blake's office. Margaret and Frank are giving a formal complaint about Klinger. Henry Blake requests a formal psychiatric evaluation for Klinger. Margaret, Frank and Klinger are pleased. They are all sure he will get his Section 8 discharge.
Next scene is Radar typing the report with a voice-over of the above. After typing the report, Radar hugs his teddy bear, feeds the bear coffee and wipes the bear's face. After he is completed with the task of caretaking his bear he continues to type and says, "Crazy people."
Hawkeye and Trapper are outside their tent drinking. They discuss that Erika is married. Hawkeye says he does not want to be involved with a married woman. He wants a woman he can marry. Trapper is happy his patient is doing better. Radar runs up to them and says Trapper is needed in the hospital right away because his patient is doing badly. It looks like it could be internal bleeding.
Hawkeye goes to Nurse Jones tent. They talk and he discovers that she is not married. Hawkeye wants to marry her. He is in love. He is then paged over head to the OR.
Next scene is Radar typing with a voice-over or Radar summarizing the above events. Trapper patient is critical. Nursing Jones is recuperating from her injuries under the personal supervision of Hawkeye. Major Milton Freedom is coming out to evaluate Klinger.
Major Milton Freedman arrives in the next scene and goes to Henry Blake's office. Henry Blake does not think that Klinger is a section 8. Henry thinks that Klinger is just trying to get discharged. Klinger walks in the office in an orange dress, white bonnet, and white purse. Major Freedman starts in evaluation.
Next scene is in the OR with Piece and McIntyre preparing to operate. Margaret walks in with a grim face and tells Trapper that the patient died a few moments ago. Trapper is devastated. Trapper goes into the hospital and stands by the POW bed wanted to kill him. Hawkeye talks him out of it.
Next scene is Major Milton Freedman giving Klinger the section eight discharge if he will sign that he is a transvestite and homosexual. He tells Klinger that this will be on his permanent report. Klinger realizes that he is neither a transvestite nor a homosexual. He does not sign the papers. He is considered sane by the formal report of Dr. Freedman.
Next Ericka Jones confronts Hawkeye about the rumors of them getting married. She tells Hawkeye that she does not want to get married. She informs him that she has new orders and will be going to Tokyo tomorrow. They have one last night of romance together.
The last scene is Radar enters Blake's office to get Blake to sign the weekly report. Blake reads the report and signs it.

State pros hoping to land spots in PGA Championship
For Adam Rainaud, it's an opportunity to make the his second PGA Tour event on the year. For Jim Hanlon, it's an opportunity to have fun in a big-time, tour-like event.
For Brent Paladino, it's a chance to achieve a goal he has had since the age of 3. For all three Connecticut residents and members of the Connecticut Section, a chance of qualifying to play in the PGA Championship awaits.
All three golfers, along with Fran Marrello (Plymouth) and Billy Downes (Longmeadow, Massachusetts) will be representing the section at the 49th PGA Professional National Championship beginning today through Wednesday at The Turning Stone Resort in Verona, New York.
Rainaud, a 30-year-old assistant pro at the Black Hall Club in Old Lyme, won the state's PGA Professional Championship last September. Rainaud qualified last year for the PGA Championship by tying for 10th place in the PGA Professional National Championship.
"It (having qualified previously) definitely helps coming down to the last day and I'm close," Rainaud said. "Knowing I've done it before makes it a lot easier to do it again. It's also nice knowing I've already qualified for the Travelers."
This is also the second time Rainaud has made the cut for the Travelers Championship (by winning the Spring Stroke Play event earlier this month), which will be held Aug. 4-7 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell. He also qualified in 2014.
The PGA will be held July 28-31 at Baltusrol GC in Springfield, New Jersey. The top 20 players from the PGA Professional National Championship qualify for the PGA.
Rainaud said his younger brother Scott will caddy for him, as he has in the past.
"He always caddies for me in the big tournaments. We have a really good time, he keeps me focused and I don't think as much about golf."
Said Hanlon: "There is Adam and there is everybody else (in the Connecticut Section). Adam is a tremendous, tremendous talent and a really good guy. With all the success he has had, he still carries himself in a professional and humble manner. Adam should be playing on the tour. He is good enough."
Hanlon, a Wolcott resident and the head pro at The Farms CC in Wallingford, is making his second trip to the to this tournament. He wants to make sure he has a good time this time around.
"Honestly, it's just a round of golf, like any other round of golf. You play well or you won't. You hit shots and accept the results and move on. As long as I give myself a chance to play well," said Hanlon, 50. "This is a tremendous opportunity for a guy like me. Most of the people who make it to this, there are not a lot of 75-hour-a-week club pros. For someone who started golfing late (Hanlon started playing after college), this is a pretty cool thing."
Paladino, a Kensington resident, has previously played in seven USGA championships, but qualifying here would be the pinnacle of his career.
"Nothing compares to the opportunity to earn a spot in a major championship." Paladino said. "It's been a dream of mine since I was 3 years old to play in a PGA Tour event and I'm just excited with the opportunity to fulfill that dream this week. I played a practice round (Thursday) and just seeing all of the leaderboards and TV towers on the course makes the experience that much more special."
The Turning Stone Resort Championship was a PGA Tour event from 2007-10 on the Atunyote GC course.
The 312-player field will play one round each on Atunyote GC and Kaluhyat GC. Following the first two rounds, the field will be reduced to the low 90 players and ties. Following the third round, the low 70 scorers and ties will play the final round Wednesday.
Three-time Connecticut Open champion Frank Bensel is also competing, along with Ryan Tyndall, the head pro at the Reserve Country Club in St. Pawley's Island, SC. Tyndall's father Tom is a 1967 East Haven High graduate and his grandfather Joe is a long-time member of Alling Memorial GC in New Haven.
CT Junior PGA
The 41st Connecticut Junior PGA Championship will be held Monday and Tuesday at The Course at Yale. Boys and girls between the ages of 13-18 are competing.
The winners of each division in the 36-hole championship will advance to the national Junior PGA Championship Aug. 2-5 at Wannamoisett CC in Rumford, Rhode Island.
Among the competitors are Finn Boynton from Milford, a Notre Dame-West Haven High standout (7:10 a.m.), Tim Rotermund of Madison (7:20), Charlie Csjeka of Orange (8:10), Alec Prete of Orange (8:50), Ryan Sember of Branford (11:20), Jake Bennett of Madison (1:50 p.m.), Liz Garfield, who plays for Lauralton Hall in Milford (2:50) and Matt Doyle of Madison (3:30).

Eurobodalla welcomed an estimated 1.2 million visitors during the last financial year according to the latest Tourism Monitor data extracted from Tourism Research Australia's national and international visitor surveys.
Leading tourism analyst and destination marketing consultant, Peter Valerio, says the results build on several periods of growth. 'It would be fair to say that Eurobodalla is on a roll,' he said this week.
'This is the fifth consecutive time Eurobodalla has recorded above average visitor numbers and this growth is showing up in the form of increases in market share.'
The strong results are not limited to visitor numbers, Mr Valerio says. He has been monitoring visitation to Eurobodalla for a number of years and during the last financial year, visitors spent in the order of 2.6 million nights in Eurobodalla.
'Like visitor numbers, the number of nights is part of Eurobodalla's fifth consecutive above average result. You are now seeing gains in the market share of night stays.'
So what's behind this good news story? There are a number of factors that influence the destinations people choose to visit, but when you see a run of visitor growth like this in conjunction with market share increases it is more often than not the destination marketing strategy that's a key driver, Mr Valerio says.
'Eurobodalla could be said to be riding a growth wave despite the fact the no such wave really exists for Regional NSW. In these areas, there are some modest increases in the year ending June 2014 compared to the previous financial year but there are decreases as well, especially in the domestic market.'
'With numbers like these elsewhere, Eurobodalla's performance strongly indicates that Council's tourism marketing strategy of recent times has been hitting the mark.'
Mr Valerio added that it is critical to stay on course. 'I encourage Eurobodalla Shire Council to stay focussed, especially on its major domestic source markets.'
The July 2013 to June 2014 data shows the domestic market continues to be Eurobodalla's main source of visitors. Around 724,000 of the 1.2 million day trippers that stayed overnight in Eurobodalla were domestic. Around 24,000 (3.3 percent) came from overseas.
The number of international visitors that stay overnight in Eurobodalla has not changed significantly for some years but this is not unique to our region. Mr Valerio says slow or zero growth in international visitor numbers is extremely common for local government areas throughout regional Australia and has been the case for many years.
'Very few regional destinations apart from those close to a capital city or major gateways see anything like the growth that Australia as a whole experiences from international visitors,' he said. 'Some international visitors do explore regional Australia but for many it's simply not on the agenda.'
This is why it is important to stay focussed on key existing source markets – ones that have been delivering visitors to Eurobodalla for many years. Pressure is constantly being applied to regional destinations to reallocate marketing resources and take advantage of visitor booms from certain overseas markets.
'In the past this pressure has been to focus on countries like Japan and Korea along with India. At the moment it's China that's seen as the 'boom' market and the boom is louder than ever before,'
Mr Valerio said.
'The benefits related to the Chinese market vary widely and depend on where you are and also what type of destination you are.'
Eurobodalla Shire Council's 2015 spring tourism destination marketing campaign is currently underway in Canberra, Sydney and regional NSW and includes social media, digital, print and billboard advertisements. The campaign is run jointly with South Coast Regional Tourism Organisation and Destination NSW.

A familiar name is atop the local cricket rankings.
Greenies recorded back-to-back league championships last weekend with one round of matches remaining. They defeated By Rite, their closest rivals, by 42 runs and remain unbeaten for the season. Greenies managed 103 for 9 wickets in a low-scoring match on a pitch of unpredictable bounce.
Only Michael Reid with 25, Josh Brown with 22, and Nick Sellars with 18 got to double figures. By Rite bowlers Kenute Tulloch, Michael Cousins, Omar Bryan and Gregory Smith took two wickets each.
It proved to be even more difficult for the By Rite batsmen as Greenies' Josh Brown took 3 wickets, Peter Bigwood and Alessandro Morris had 2 wickets each and they combined well to bowl out By Rite for 61 runs.
Victory was sweeter for the Greenies side as a number of their main players were missing and the reserves had to be called out. Congratulations to Captain Chris Palmer and his outfit for another magnificent season.
At Jimmy Powell Oval, Prison powered their way to a major victory defeating Esso Tigers by 63 runs. Batting first, Prison totalled 177 for 8 wickets with 5 batsmen getting to the twenties. Ugal Sicard picked up 3 wickets for Esso Tigers.
Kevon Bazil achieved his best bowling figures for this season getting 5 wickets for 22, ably assisted by Oscar Owen with 3 wickets. Only Ricardo Roach 46 and Sicard 25 got amongst the runs for Esso Tigers as they crumbed for 114 runs.
Primary schools are also storming the wickets as the LIME-sponsored Primary Schools Cricket competition comes up on Wednesday with Sir John A. Cumber against Red Bay. The match is scheduled for Smith Road Oval starting at 10.30am. A full report will follow.

WI-FI ONE, LLC v. BROADCOM CORPORATION
En banc, Reyna. Appeal from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
Summary: The Federal Circuit can review the Board's decision whether an IPR is time barred under § 315(b).
In 2010, Ericsson filed a complaint for patent infringement against a third party in district court. Broadcom was not a defendant in that litigation. In 2013, Broadcom filed three IPRs against each of the patents asserted in the Ericsson litigation. Ericsson transferred ownership of the patents to Wi-Fi, who argued that the IPRs were time barred because Broadcom was allegedly in privity with the prior defendants. The Board denied Wi-Fi's motion for discovery, held that the IPRs were not time barred under § 315(b), and found the challenged claims unpatentable.
The initial Federal Circuit panel determined that it lacked authority to review the time bar issue because § 314(d) states that "the determination by the Director whether to institute an inter partes review under this section shall be final and nonappealable." Reviewing en banc, the Federal Circuit remanded and held that a § 315(b) time bar determination is appealable. The Court relied on the strong presumption in favor of judicial review of agency actions and the lack of clear legislative history on the issue. The Court also held that the bar of § 314(d) against appeals does not apply to § 315(b) challenges because § 314(d) applies only to determinations "under this section." The Court distinguished Cuozzo Speed Technologies, LLC v. Lee, 136 S. Ct. 2131 (2016) by finding that the Cuozzo decision was "limited to the Director's determinations closely related to the preliminary patentability determination or the exercise of discretion not to institute." By contrast, the § 315(b) time bar is a threshold requirement for whether the Director has authority to institute an IPR.
Judge Hughes, joined by Judges Lourie, Bryson, and Dyk, dissented. The dissent argued that Congress barred judicial review of the Director's decision to institute in § 314(d), and Cuozzo confirmed that § 314(d) applies to the merits of the petition and closely related issues such as timeliness under § 315(b).
This case is: WI-FI ONE, LLC v. BROADCOM CORPORATION

Have you ever seen parenting instructions come in a booklet? It doesn't come in a manual says Clint Edwards
Edward, the author of Hilarious stories from a Father of the Three who made all the mistakes (and made for them) he was clueless what he should do as a father because his childhood wasn't spent with his father. He explains it clearly in on the about me section that "I say I have no idea what I'm doing because my father wasn't around when I was a child."
"I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing because I didn't have a father in my life. I still don't have someone to turn to when it comes to fatherly questions, so I'm making this up as I go."
All his writing approaches the audience in a different manner. The Washington Post, New York Times, and Scary Mommy are all his featured publications. Even people follow him on social media to see his happening events in his life. Recently among all his creations one became viral because it was heartwarming. It was about his son, Tristan,
"I often describe my 11yo as an immovable slug of a boy, so when I asked him to help me unload the dirt from our small pickup into his mother's new garden boxes, his reaction was typical."
At the same moment, Tristan was playing the computer game Roblox on couch decked in his sweatpants.
Edward realized Tristan was too busy to help him once he made the request,
But dad didn't give up, he didn't want his son to say no as the answer,
Finally Edward was success in taking Tristan into the backyard after some to and fro struggles.
They started shoveling dirt and while shoveling after some time the boy turned and questioned him "Why do we have to do this?"
Edward was shocked and didn't have any idea how to react because none of them were interested in gardening as Edward's wife did.
"I thought, and he waited, and finally I said, 'When you love someone, you serve them.'"
Even though Triston got an answer, he wasn't satisfied with his answer but he didn't tell anything in return as well. Finally, Edward made up his mind that it was the end of the lesson.
Apparently the next day was a happy day for his wife. She picked some dirt the next day and she when she was about to start to unload it, Tristan has joined to help voluntarily and started to work says Chris. Even Edward had been surprised after seeing the picture.
"When she asked him 'why', he shrugged and said, 'Because I love you."
"I've never been prouder of my son."

Guangdong Yaolong Metal Technology Co., Ltd.
What's question do you have about your project? Leave us a note:
We're not around right now,but leave us your information and we'll get in touch as soon as we can .Thanks! contact us
As global warming and energy crisis become more serious, people's consciousness of environmental protection strengthens day by day. In order to alleviate these two problems, Yaolong R&D department has continuously developed new products to contribute to the world's basic energy. In September, Yaolong will launch a new energy-saving green products, solar street light pole on this website. This upcoming solar light pole has been sold in China for nearly five years, and its performance has been well received. Recently, more and more overseas customers consulted solar light poles. In order to meet the diversified needs of the market, Yaolong decided to put him on our official website, yaolongpole, for sale. The solar street lamp posts are different from traditional street light pole in terms of materials, manufacturing processes and shapes. Today Yaolong will explain the characteristics and advantages of our upcoming solar light poles.
Working principle:
The working principle of the solar street lamp post is that the solar panel collects sunlight, and the effective daylighting time is from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, converting the light energy into electric energy, and storing the electric energy into the prefabrication through the controller. In the colloidal battery, when the sun goes down and the light is insufficient, the solar panel's lighting voltage is lower than 5 volts, the controller will automatically activate the street light and start lighting.
Scope of application:
Solar street pole lights are suitable for areas with scarce power resources. Due to environmental and construction difficulties.
There are also some rural and road center isolation belt areas, which are susceptible to sun exposure, thunderstorm electric shock and other factors, which may easily lead to damage to the lamps or excessive aging of the wires.
The composition of solar street lights: This new solar street light consists of a light pole, solar modules, batteries, solar controllers and light sources (lights).
light pole shaft: The main material is stainless steel, aluminum alloy and galvanized iron, and the thickness ranges from 2.0mm to 3.0mm. Color, height and specifications can be selected according to design requirements;
Light source: High-power, high-brightness LED light source with a luminous angle of 110 degrees or more. It uses a constant-voltage constant-current driving circuit and has unique advantages. After special heat treatment, the performance is stable and the service life is as long as ten year.
Solar cell module: crystalline silicon solar cell module, conversion efficiency of 17% or more, high-quality low-iron tempered white glass, which is made of solar cell module, low-iron ultra-white suede tempered glass, with a light transmittance of over 90%.
The tempering treatment is to increase the strength of the glass, resist the impact of the wind and hail, and protect the solar battery for a long time. After the tempering of the panel glass, the strength of the glass can be increased by 3 to 4 times compared with ordinary glass.
Anti-UV EVA transparent resin as encapsulation material, TPT high waterproof resin film as back encapsulation material, the whole component is fixed in the frame of high-quality aluminum alloy material with anodized, high structural strength, high work efficiency, low light effect and weather resistance Good sex, even without worries in long-term work under harsh environmental conditions, effective use time of more than 25 years.
Battery: All use 12V valve-regulated lead-acid maintenance-free battery for solar energy. It has small internal resistance, large capacity, high charge and discharge performance, and can be safely used in the working environment of -40 ° C to 55 ° C;
System Controller: Optional multi-patented light control / time control multi-function controller. The control time is arbitrarily set, and has various protection functions such as anti-reverse connection, reverse charging, over charging, over-discharging, short-circuit, lightning protection, temperature compensation, etc. It is a perfect intelligent control system.
1. Installation conditions
The installation of traditional street light pole may require the laying of complicated pipelines, and its installation and commissioning and artificial materials are expensive; the solar street lamps are easy to install, do not require complicated wiring, and only need a cement base with fixed stainless steel screws.
2. The cost of electricity
The lighting work of the traditional street lamp post requires a large amount of electricity to be paid, and it takes a long time to maintain and replace the lines and configurations, and the maintenance cost is also high; the solar street lamps can be charged only once, without any maintenance cost and management cost.
3. Energy saving and environmental protection: The solar energy photoelectric conversion provides electric energy, which is inexhaustible . No pollution, no noise, no radiation. Solar street light pole can add new selling points for the development and promotion of noble ecological communities; sustainable reduction of property management costs and reduction of the cost of the public share of the owners. In summary, the inherent characteristics of solar lighting safety without hidden dangers, energy saving and no consumption, green environmental protection, easy installation, automatic control and maintenance-free will directly bring obvious advantages for the sale of real estate and the construction of municipal engineering.
Finally, this new product solar light pole will be put on the shelves in September. In September, our company will hold a large-scale procurement festival. You can send us a message or email us to participate in our lucky draw. There are mysterious gifts waiting for you to collect. You can also receive a 10% coupon by sending "take part in procurement festival" to our mailbox.

Fleet kick-start classes for kids
PUBLISHED: 15:33 01 October 2008 | UPDATED: 10:08 23 August 2010
WHAT do Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Ebbsfleet United have in common? They are all in the premier league for education as the Stonebridge Road outfit joins a growing list of clubs offering specialist learning centres at their ground
WHAT do Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Ebbsfleet United have in common?
They are all in the premier league for education as the Stonebridge Road outfit joins a growing list of clubs offering specialist learning centres at their grounds.
Fans of the Fleet may have noticed a new building has appeared at the home end of the team's ground. The structure is to be the home of the Fleet Learning Zone, a classroom packed with the latest in teaching technology that will be offering free after-school activities aimed at boosting youngsters' literacy and numeracy skills.
The classes are part of the nationwide Playing for Success scheme, which has already been run successfully at Margate Football Club, Kent County Cricket Club in Canterbury and Buckmore Park Kart Circuit near Chatham
Kent manager Christian Kelly, 30, and assistant centre manager Sian Spittles, 28 will run the scheme.
Mr Kelly said: "What we are trying to do is captivate the children who are sometimes lost in schools, the ones who aren't the highest or lowest achievers but the ones in the middle, and to give them a push."
The scheme was developed as a three-way partnership between the Department for Children, Schools and Families, Kent County Council and Ebbsfleet United.
Groups of 14 students aged between eight and 13 will attend the centre one evening a week for six weeks, completing a range of interactive activities making full use of the centre's computers and other hi-tech gadgets.
Miss Spittles said: "We are hoping that the children who come raise their confidence and motivation so that when they go back into school they are better equipped to be good students. Ultimately, we want to raise achievement.
"They'll be doing things like podcasting interviews with players, kicking balls and measuring the speed with speed guns. There are lots of things they can do."
Staff and players at Ebbsfleet United will also be closely involved with the scheme.
Mr Kelly said: "We get the footballers to sign the children's targets so they have somebody to look up to and the players become role models as well. The whole reason we can do this is down to Ebbsfleet United. It's really generous of them to let us put the learning zone here."
A trial scheme involving classes from two schools is to be run in November and the centre is expected to be fully operational by January next year.

This beautiful Seamaster was sent in from Norway, and it's in need of a service.
I like the hour hand on this one – reminds you of the modern Railmasters.
No lack of dirt here, and the set lever screw is rusty. My client wants that replaced.
The set lever spring is broken, so we'll need that as well. Also, the dial washer is missing, and one of the dial screws. I wonder where they ended up, as there is nothing in the case.
I start by taking the balance jewels out.
You can also see quite a bit of dirt in the jewel holes of the wheel bridge.
The broken off bit from the set lever spring.
Ready for the cleaning machine.
As usual, I start off with a new mainspring.
First, I get a beat error of 7.5ms.
After a couple of adjustments, I'm down to 1.5ms, and that's where I will leave it. This watch has the beat error adjusted on the hairspring collet, and it won't get much better if I try.
The new set lever screw doesn't want to go into the set lever, and I notice that the first thread isn't quite right, so I re-cut it in a die. Good thing I recently forked out for a tap and die set – which cost a small fortune.
The bottom plate with the new set lever spring.
The movement is cased.And we're back in business. I very lightly cleaned the hands, but I don't want to risk dislodging the luminous compound.

TV broadcast video is usually mastered to include segment breaks of five or ten seconds of black to accommodate commercials, but these breaks are unnecessary for Internet video. Content creators must edit these commercial breaks out, but this simple change can result in the TV captioning data going out of sync or being deleted altogether.
Rather than starting the captioning process from scratch, content creators can simply remove the commercial breaks to prepare the video for Internet distribution. This article will cover the basic information you need to know for preserving closed captions when removing commercial breaks from videos.
What outlets of video distribution require removing commercial breaks?
Many distribution outlets such as iTunes, Hulu, Comcast VOD, Netflix and Best Buy distribute TV shows commercial-free. Of course, the original shows contain commercial breaks. Therefore, a different edit of the TV show must be packaged for delivery. Because broadcast TV usually includes about ten seconds of black for commercial breaks, those breaks must be edited out regardless of the distribution outlet. Essentially, if the content goes from TV broadcast to web distribution, it is likely that commercial breaks will need to be removed.
Does my video editing system take care of the captioning?
Video editing systems can accept caption data, but they do not automatically edit the captions as the video is edited. Captions typically exist as entire phrases, so making them shorter or cutting them will not work since the result may not match the spoken dialogue. It is important to have an external software tool that can help with the captioning process.
How does editing video for the web affect my captioning workflow?
If the captioning workflow involves delivering tape masters, it will also involve exporting web caption files such as SAMI, XML, WebVTT, and embedded H.264 file formats. The captioning software will need access to both the TV caption video file and the edited web video file for quality control and verification as well.
Where can I get the caption data?
Caption data exists in a variety of video formats. It can be captured from a tape master or extracted from a video file on a server. Sometimes it can also be found in archival file formats such as .cap and .scc files.
Can I edit the caption files automatically?
You can purchase software that will help you edit captions automatically. Advanced closed captioning software uses edit decision lists (EDL) from video editing systems such as Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro 7. The EDL document contains all the necessary data to determine how to edit the closed caption data, as specified by the video editing system. Several high-end digital video delivery workflows use this technique because of its effectiveness. The video editor simply makes the necessary edits for delivery to video distribution outlets and exports the EDL for the captioning system. Then, a command-line script can automatically call the captioning software to edit the caption data file and export the corresponding web caption file for online distribution.
With the right closed captioning software, removing commercial breaks from videos shouldn't be a problem. Simply choose software that can preserve closed captions as the video is edited, and your content will be ready to be distributed on a new platform.
