Before Ignite went on line, we had a separate operator for each piece of equipment. |
When we made the move to producing and broadcasting all of our newscasts in high definition last year, it was clear that Grass Valley's Ignite HD system was going to be our first choice. |
We went on-air with Ignite on Sept. 25 and immediately saw a marked improvement in our technical capabilities. |
Belo is using the Ignite system in the St. Louis market as a proof of concept for its 17 other stations. |
The company is a proven provider of the sort of technology that we needed to grow and improve our network's operational efficiency. |
A key element of the project was the need to efficiently move content in multiple formats between our editing, production and playout facilities. |
We decided to look into more modern and progressive technology that would evolve along with the industry. |

George Jackson was a member of both the Black Panther Party and a co-founder of the Black Guerilla Family during his long incarceration (most of his life was spent behind bars). In 1961, at the age of 19, Jackson was sentenced to a-year-to-life at San Quentin State Prison. His gang involvement, coupled with assaults on... |
San Quentin State Prison is California's oldest prison, and has the state's only death row for male inmates—the largest one in the United States, in fact. Today, it's largely overcrowded, holding rougly 5,000 prisoners, well past its stated capacity of 3,000. Notable former inmates include fellow Black Panther Eldridge... |
STROUDSBURG, Pa. -- You'll soon see signs of winter in downtown Stroudsburg. |
Giant snowmen will soon be displayed all throughout the borough. The people behind the project hope it will bring more people downtown. |
The "Snowmen of Stroudsburg" stand more than 5 feet tall, and each one was painted by a local artist. Next Friday, 10 of them will be placed along Main Street. |
In a secret location in downtown Stroudsburg, finishing touches are being put on life-size snowmen. |
Members of an artist organization called Go Collaborative of Stroudsburg plan to place these sculptures along Main Street for people to come and see. |
"The purpose is really to bring the town together -- the merchants and the people, the people who live in town -- back down to Main Street," said organization president Jim Evanisko. |
Organizers say this project is more than a year in the making. |
"We let all of the artists create designs and send them to us. Then we had a jury panel who selected the best of the best. We asked each artist to dig deep and to bring out the best that they could and we are incredibly happy with what they brought us," said vice president Jody Singer. |
Once the snowmen are put into place, they will be there for a couple weeks, but don't get used to seeing your favorite sculpture in the same spot because they will be moved throughout the borough and you have to go and find them. |
"We have a plan to move each of the snowmen at least twice during the winter season. There will be an interactive map that you can use to go and find the snowmen once they are placed out," Singer explained. |
The snowmen are made of foam and rubber with metal frames that will hold them into place. They will also be placed in areas where there are traffic cameras to make sure they are not vandalized. |
"We want people to, basically, see them and say, 'Hey, we better pull over and look at these things,'" Evanisko said. |
Members of Go Collaborative of Stroudsburg plan to add about 10 snowmen a year. |
Since when is 5 feet tall “Giant”? |
Will they too be panhandling like the rest of downtown Stroudsburg? |
The idea is to help bring people together in the community with the use of art. Hopefully in time it contributes to the town of Stroudsburg in a positive way. The same is in regards of the large murals on side of some of the buildings and putting up holiday decorations like lights, wreaths and Halloween stuff right on ... |
Cameras or not, poor Frosty is gonna take a beating on the streets! |
Christine McKendry, the daughter of Claire Moylan of Langhorne, Pa., was married yesterday to Eduardo Nils Tarto Andrade, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jose E. Andrade of New York. The Rev. Paul L. Hebert performed the Roman Catholic ceremony at Most Holy Trinity Church in Pomfret, Conn. |
Mrs. Andrade, 30, is an anchor on ''Sports Center,'' a sports news report on ESPN, the cable television network in Bristol, Conn. She graduated from Drexel University. |
Mr. Andrade, 29, graduated from Trinity College in Hartford and received J.D. and M.B.A. degrees from Georgetown University. Next month, he is to become an associate at Whitman Breed Abbott & Morgan, a New York law firm. |
The couple were introduced in 1995 by the former Olympic swimmer Nancy Hogshead at a bowling alley in Arlington, Va. The bride, who was a sports reporter for WJLA-TV in Washington, had interviewed Ms. Hogshead, who was in law school with the bridegroom. |

John R. Delaney Samsung Wisenet BabyView Basic SEW-3053W The Samsung Wisenet BabyView Basic (SEW-3053W) is a two-piece baby monitoring system that offers mechanical pan and tilt functionality, but lacks many of the features found on similarly priced baby monitors. |
Easy to install. Sharp 720p video. Clean two-way audio. Mechanical pan and tilt. Four lullabies. |
Expensive. No motion detection or alerts. Lacks video recording capabilities and environmental sensors. Limited app functionality. SD card not included. |
The Samsung Wisenet BabyView Basic (SEW-3053W) is a two-piece baby monitoring system that offers mechanical pan and tilt functionality, but lacks many of the features found on similarly priced baby monitors. |
As with most smart baby monitors, the Wisenet BabyView Basic (SEW-3053W), manufactured by Samsung, lets you keep an eye on your baby from any room in the house using its 5-inch color touch-screen display, and works with a mobile app to streams live video. The $229.99 camera system delivered sharp 720p video in our test... |
The BabyView Basic consists of two components: a PTZ camera and a handheld 5-inch display. The egg-shaped camera stands 4.1 inches tall and is 3.2 inches in diameter at its widest point. The top part of the camera holds a quarter-inch CMOS sensor that delivers 720p video at 20fps and has a 55-degree field of view and 2... |
The bottom portion of the camera holds a USB power jack, a 2.5-inch antenna, a night light, and a speaker, while the bottom of the base has buttons for pairing, resetting, and turning the camera on and off. The top and bottom are separated by a mechanism that swivels the top to provide 300 degrees of panning motion. |
The portable display measures 3.7 by 5.6 by 0.7 inches and has a pull-out stand around back. It has a 5-inch color touch screen with a 800-by-480-pixel resolution that doesn't quite match up with the camera's 720p resolution, a speaker, and a microphone. The left side has a microSD card slot (media not included) for st... |
You can look in on and listen to your child from anywhere using the BabyView mobile app, but that's pretty much all you can do with it. Tapping the camera in the Device list launches a live stream that you can view in full-screen mode by turning your phone sideways. There are three buttons on the bottom: one takes you ... |
When you turn on the handheld display, you're presented with a live image. The top of the screen is crowded with status icons for signal strength, sound level, SD card (installed, not installed), zoom mode, VOX (hands-free audio enabled/disabled), night vision, speaker mute, and battery level. At the bottom of the scre... |
A Menu icon takes you to a screen where you can pair/unpair the camera, turn the nightlight on or off, view the Photo Diary, and access the settings menu where you can set the date and time, adjust screen brightness and speaker volume, set a feed timer (for feeding intervals), enable/disable VOX, and set the Photo Diar... |
Installing the BabyView is quick and easy. I downloaded the mobile app, used my phone's Wi-Fi settings to connect to the camera, and tapped Add Device on the opening screen. I scanned the QR code on the base of the camera and entered the default password. I was prompted to change the password and the camera showed up i... |
The BabyView's live video looked sharp with vibrant colors when viewed on my iPhone 8's screen, but the image appeared soft and slightly washed out when viewed on the handheld display. Similarly, black-and-white night vision video looked sharp on my phone, but appeared grainy on the handheld display. Two-way audio was ... |
If you're looking for a basic baby monitoring system that lets you see and hear what your baby is doing, the Wisenet BabyView Basic (SEW-3053W) will get the job done, but it comes up short compared with similarly priced baby monitors. Granted, its mechanical pan and tilt provides a full view of your child's room, and t... |
Easter Eggs have long been a staple in video games, TV shows and even movies. They're hidden nods to the audience by the designers, inserted to reward superfans who take the time to look for them. |
In YouTube's Geek Week Easter Egg hunt, you don't win for being the first to uncover an egg. You earn a series of badges (think Pokémon) for every Easter Egg you unlock, for taking the Geek IQ test and for watching as many Geek Week videos as possible. |
Each Easter Egg references an aspect of geek culture, and you can unlock many of them with a simple search or even while watching one of the many videos made this week. |
YouTube has shared hints throughout the week on its official Twitter account, but we've got the lowdown on all of the Easter Eggs in one place so that you can collect them all. |
Type "/ geek week" into the search bar (that space is vital) and discover the ASCII version of YouTube: old-school graphics with a black background and a serif typeface. |
2. "Beam me up, Scotty" |
Although nobody in the Star Trek TV show and films ever actually said "beam me up, Scotty" to chief engineer Montgomery Scott, typing the catchphrase into the site's search bar will transport the search results right to you. |
You no longer need Midi-chlorians in your body to use the Force. Simply typing Obi-Wan Kenobi's advice to Luke Skywalker into the search field will give you access to those powers (although only on that particular page). |
The Fibonacci Sequence might come in handy in mathematics, but you don't actually need to know the sequence of numbers to unlock this Easter Egg. Just type in "Fibonacci," and you can see the resulting videos pop up in a corresponding spiral. |
Type in "1337" (leetspeak for "leet") anywhere that isn't the search bar or comment box while watching any video and see the comments section turn into a jumble of 13375P34K — which just might improve them. |
This unlock only applies to Geek Week videos published on Aug. 6. On the same tab where you can adjust volume, change quality and queue a video to watch later, you'll see a "POW!" button. Click that, and your video will transform into a grainy-looking video comic book. |
Type "1980" while watching any video and you'll be thrust into a game of Missile Command, the classic 1980 Atari game. You'll have to protect your video from the missiles raining down on it, and if you let too many pass by, your video will break. |
An Easter egg just for the Bronies. Type in the name of any character from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic into the search bar, and your bar will change colors. |
The power of Christ has compelled Richard Chamberlain and Brooke Shields to take two of the lead roles in a new stage version of William Peter Blatty's "The Exorcist," which is scheduled to open at the Geffen Playhouse on July 11. |
Chamberlain will play Father Merrin, the priest who attempts to exorcise a little girl possessed by a demon. The role was played by Max von Sydow in the 1973 film version of Blatty's book. Shields will take on the role of Chris MacNeil, an actress and the girl's mother, who was played by Ellen Burstyn in the movie. |
"I stayed home to get away from trouble and then trouble came to my neighborhood," said a witness, who asked to remain anonymous. |
EUGENE, Ore. -- Police said 37-year-old Andrew Dingwall of Walton was arrested and taken to the hospital after a crash late Saturday night. |
According to police, Dingwall crashed his four-door Lexus in a yard on the northwest corner of Lorane Highway and Washington Street. They say the car went through a wooden fence and into an unoccupied camp trailer. They say it also damaged an RV parking area. |
Shortly after police say Dingwall crashed into a yard, they say a woman reported a man got into the passenger side of her SUV while she was in it and grabbed her. |
According to police, she was able to get free and out of the vehicle and the suspect drove off in it. |
The vehicle failed to negotiate a turn and drove through shrubbery and off an embankment, where it rolled several times in the 2800 block of Washington Street. |
Officers located it and Dingwall. They say he was conscious but injured. They say he was taken to a local hospital for treatment. |
"This town has just gone way downhill and it's something I've been saying for this last year," the witness said. "It's terrible this stuff happens, but it's been happening every day now." |
Dingwall was charged with DUII, Reckless Driving, Harassment, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree, and Unlawful Use of a Vehicle. |
We considered calling this post "And then they came for Jew, and we said nothing," but decided that was in poor taste. |
So what's been up with our favorite beleaguered conservative Sunset Supervisor? Well, as everyone knows by now, right as Ross Mirkarimi's Friday art party was starting, Ed Jew's City Hall office was raided by the FBI, based on charges that he'd accepted $40,000 in $100 bills from businessmen seeking to get permits from... |
Supervisor Jew told the press that the businessmen came by, offered him the money, refused a receipt, and he went ahead and took it and put it in a safe, even though he thought the whole thing was weird. Jew also said thought it was a fight between two groups of merchants that he got in the middle of, and that he'd sim... |
Further complicating things, Jew is also now saying that he did accept the $40K on behalf of his consultant friend, and told the consultant to donate $20K of it to fix up a park on 28th and Lawton. However, Parks and Rec have no record of any such transaction. The consultant is not answering reporters' inquiries about ... |
After all this, Jew has hired a criminal defense lawyer, who's told him to zip it. |

Oprah Winfrey may have shed some pounds using Weight Watchers. But she may have lost something else — influence. And money. |
Shares of Weight Watchers plunged nearly 30% Friday after the diet company reported a surprise $11 million quarterly loss. |
The company’s sales fell and, most alarmingly, so did the number of Weight Watchers subscribers and attendance at meetings. |
Shares of Weight Watchers surged in October after Oprah announced she was taking a 10% stake in the company, joining its board and becoming a member as well. |
The hope was that Oprah’s blessing would lead to a surge in new subscribers. Expectations grew after Oprah said in an ad for the company that she lost 26 pounds — even while still eating bread every day. |
The stock is now down 50% this year and is trading nearly 60% below the peak Oprah mania price it hit in November. |
The value of Oprah’s stake in Weight Watchers fell by more than $27 million on Friday alone. But don’t shed any tears for her. Oprah is still sitting on about a $30 million profit since October. And she is continuing to eat bread after all. |
It’s possible that it will just take more time before Oprah is able to convince the millions of subscribers to her magazine and viewers of her OWN cable network to take the plunge and sign up for Weight Watchers. |
CEO James Chambers told analysts during the company’s conference call Thursday that he thought the marketing campaign with Oprah was off to a good start and that this is just the beginning of her involvement with the company. |
But the company’s latest results may be a sign that not even Oprah’s considerable celebrity star power is enough to offset its challenges. To that end, Weight Watchers issued earnings guidance for 2016 that was below forecasts. |
The company has tough competition from the likes of Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig. |
Maybe nostalgic Gen X-ers are flocking to Jenny Craig? Kirstie Alley is now appearing in ads for Jenny Craig, along with fellow Cheers alums George Wendt (Norm!) and John Ratzenberger. The weight loss company where everyone knows your name? |
Weight Watchers also has to contend with the proliferation of free smartphone apps that give people diet tips and track weight loss. |
And maybe, just maybe, this notion that Americans are trying to get into shape is just a big myth. |
CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla pointed out in a tweet Friday morning that shares of Weight Watchers and activity tracker Fitbit have both plunged this month due to disappointing outlooks. Meanwhile, Domino’s is surging. |
