| ESPN's New HD Production Shot in Remote Location, on Time and Under ...
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Bronx is Burning", ESPN's new miniseries makes use of an innovative digital workflow design using Technicolor Creative Bridge's Mobile Digital Lab and Theatre (MDLT). This state of the art MDLT houses a Globalstor ExtremeStor DI workstation with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 SDI by PNY graphics board running ASSIMILATE's SCRATCH Data-Centric Workflow Solution. On location at Sonalysts Studios in Waterford Connecticut, the MDLT gave the production team access to a complete digital "pre-post" pipeline; allowing the production team to establish a new pre-post colorization model. As a result the HD production was much more efficient and the final online color correction was much more cost effective. "The Bronx is Burning" was shot on location throughout Connecticut, using the Thomson VIPER FilmStream(TM) digital camera.
Small plane crashes near Princeton Airport
They are essentially treated as a factory prototype that is undergoing testing before production. Most are built from kits that are designed by trained engineers, and have the support of the factory to answer questions and help the builder. As for noise, it's funny. I hate the noise of leaf blowers going steady for hours on end, but I don't mind a plane flying over for a minute or two. I live under one of the approach paths to Old Bridge, so don't say that I don't care because I don't live near the airport! .

The great woodpecker hunt
SCRUBGRASS BAYOU, Ark. - Away down in the swampy bottomlands of Dixie, the most intensive search ever for a bird is gearing up for a make-or-break season. Big reputations are riding on the controversial quest for the ivory-billed woodpecker, the most magnificent and most elusive of America's tree-knockers. Here in the vast White River National Wildlife Refuge, naturalists are trying to confirm hotly-debated sightings of a bird written off as extinct until four years ago. The terrain is tough and even treacherous. Catclaw briars snag boots, whip vines slash faces, and cruel honey-locust thorns stab through clothing and skin. Cold muddy water can rise to the armpits of researchers fording swamps in duct tape-patched waders. "It's a labor-intensive slog, for the most part.
Lotto sweetens jackpots
It's a jackpot-driven game. Our goal was to find a way to drive up the jackpot." Gov. Charlie Crist is counting on gambling money to help finance state services in the coming year. The biggest chunk comes from the Florida Lottery, an additional $248-million. The new enhanced Lotto tickets are expected to produce $100.3-million of that. Florida has one of the most lucrative lotteries in the country but can't match the huge payouts from the multistate games, Powerball and Mega Millions. In one of his first acts as governor in 1999, Jeb Bush reversed the decision of the late Lawton Chiles to enter the Powerball lottery. He said it was of "debatable effectiveness" and would hurt the state lottery's chances of achieving long-term stability. State officials made the last big change to Lotto that year, increasing the 49 number choices to 53 and adding a second weekly drawing on Wednesdays.

DEFENSIVE HEADACHE FOR REDS
It means that Sami Hyypia is the only fit central defender, and that could see full-back Alvaro Arbeloa pressed into action alongside the veteran Finn. Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate will make late checks on Robert Huth and Tuncay Sanli. The German international missed the FA Cup fifth round trip to Sheffield United with a foot problem but could return at Anfield, while Tuncay is back in training after a hamstring problem. David Wheater is available before sitting out Wednesday night's FA Cup replay through suspension, but Lee Cattermole (knee) and Chris Riggott (hamstring) remain on the sidelines. Teams: Liverpool (from): Reina, Finnan, Arbeloa, Hyypia, Riise, Aurelio, Pennant, Gerrard, Mascherano, Lucas, Babel, Benayoun, Kewell, Crouch, Torres, Kuyt, Alonso, Itandje.
