| Hannaford Supermarkets awards grant to Boys & Girls Club
FITCHBURG -- Hannaford Supermarkets recently awarded the Boys & Girls Club in North Central Massachusetts (NCM) a grant to establish a photography program at the Fitchburg Clubhouse. The award will be used to purchase digital cameras and memory cards for the ImageMakers program. ImageMakers is a comprehensive photography program for Boys & Girls Clubs members ages 8-18. Each session of ImageMakers involves hands-on activities, examinations of photographs from current news media and from famous photographers, discussions of composition and intention, practical drills to acquire new skills and final challenges to reinforce the session's explorations. Whether it's creating a self-portrait, documenting a family event or exploring the club itself, members get involved on both sides of the lens.
NYC Marathon Broadcast Goes The Distance Using RF Central Extreme Products
DMN Newswire--2007-11-14--The more than 315 million worldwide viewers who recently tuned into the 2007 ING New York City Marathon did not miss a step as IMG Media, world leading sports, entertainment and media production company, televised the 26 mile race via state-of-the-art transmitter and receiver technology from RF Central, a leading digital microwave technology provider. To capture the 35,000 runners as they trekked through the five boroughs of New York City, IMG Media used 18 RFX-RMR-X6 six-way diversity receivers, four RFX-CMT-II Click for the lowest price on dmnobieblankcamera');" onMouseOut="setTimeout('hideLayer()',500);" class=hotlink2>camera-mount transmitters, two RFX-PHT portable high power transmitters and two RFX-PDT portable digital transmitters. Deployed in a network design similar to a cellular phone system, the strategic combination of the RFX-RMR-X6, RFX-CMT-II, RFX-PHT and RFX-PDT created omni directional antenna functionality.
Amalia Fuentes denies robbery allegation of estranged husband
Joey Stevens accused his wife, veteran actress Amalia Fuentes, of robbery in his business establishment in Quezon City last Saturday, November 10. Stevens reportedly filed a complaint for robbery, as represented by his corporate secretary Editha Bernardo Lopez, against Amalia at the Quezon City Police District-Criminal Investigatigation and Detection Unit. According to a report in People's Journal published today, November 14, Joey claimed that Amalia stole 20 stock certificates from various companies; a folder containing documents for a Ford Expedition, Pajero and Daewoo vehicles reportedly owned by Stevens; a digital camera; a manual camera; various original titles; deed of absolute sale; cash worth P99,721.44; manager's check payable to SSS amounting to P131,000; various foreign currencies—collector's item; checkbook; and other documents.
Council to address proposed grant help
About half the items on the Statesville City Council's regular meeting agenda Monday night will deal with the city's police department asking the governing body to approve matching funds on four different state grants. Police Assistant Chief Tom Anderson explained the purpose for each grant at Thursday's pre-agenda meeting and said the city would have to kick in more than $55,000. If approved, the grants, all of which are through the N.C. Governor's Crime Commission, will bring in about $166,000. Anderson said one of the grants would be used to purchase an in-house fingerprint identification system called the AFIX Tracker. "We could start our own database, which would really help things move a lot faster," Anderson said. Another grant would pay for a digital camera recording system for the department's interview rooms.
Smile, Protons, You're On Camera
Radioactivity, discovered more than 100 years ago and studied by physicists ever since, would seem to be a relatively closed subject in science. However, since the 1960s, the pursuit of at least one open question about how nuclei spontaneously eject various particles has continued to nag experimentalists, largely because of an inability to make precise measurements of fleeting, exotic nuclei. In a paper published this week in Physical Review Letters, an international collaboration of researchers, led by Marek Pfutzner, a physicist from Warsaw University in Poland, takes several steps toward an answer. The scientists describe a first-ever success in peering closely at radioactive decay of a rare iron isotope at the ragged edge of the known nuclear map. The tools used to achieve this result include a novel combination of advanced physics equipment and imaging technology that is found in most off-the-shelf digital cameras.
