What's included in the upcoming "Aftermath" expansion for Battlefield 3? The new DLC will add four new maps, new "heavily modified military and civilian vehicles." In addition to the requisite new assignments, achievements, and dog tags, there will also be one new game mode yet to be detailed.
The key focus of the Aftermath DLC is its setting: taking place in the "shattered distracts, streets, and surrounding villages of a post-earthquake Tehran." The dust, rubble, and damaged terrain will factor into how you move around the environment.
From EA's official website (via Joystiq):
With operational capacity severely compromised the opposing forces must adapt and engage in vertical and horizontal urban combat amongst the dust and rubble with cracks and fissures in the terrain providing unexpected cover and paths to objectives. Additional support comes in the form of heavily modified troop transports and civilian vehicles specially adapted to deliver deadly force to the enemy.
There's no release date on the map, but it will be available early to all Battlefield 3 Premium subscribers.

EASTCHESTER, N.Y. – The Eastchester Town Board continued its yearly tradition of appointing and reappointing various members of the community to important town committees at its first meeting of 2013 on Wednesday.
Board members and Town Supervisor Anthony Colavita unanimously agreed to reappoint the members of six committees, and appointed five residents to the new Environmental Committee; they will serve two-year terms.
"It would be nice to speak of each member of each one of these committees. We genuinely appreciate the time they spend away from their families and jobs to work for the people of Eastchester," Colavita said. "These aren't honorary. These are working positions."
Keith Bloomfield was designated as chairperson for the Cable Television Advisory Committee, which is responsible for all cable-related decisions in town. Susan Rappaport, former chairperson of that committee, was named to the same role in the Committee for the Disabled.
Eastchester Police Lt. Robert Jensen will lead the Hazard Mitigation Committee, and Joseph Cermele will head the Planning Board until Dec. 31, 2017. The Board of Electrical Control and Lake Isle Long Range Planning Committee remain unchanged.
Councilperson Fred Salanitro expressed his appreciation to those who volunteered to fill the town positions.
"We want to thank everyone that has stepped up," he said. "They are invaluable to us and to our town."
Colavita echoed Salanitro's words, and said the committees fill an invaluable role in Eastchester.
"These people all play an active role in the town government. They each have input in the direction of the town and enhance the town greatly," Colavita said. "We appreciate them taking the time to work for the town of Eastchester. It's not an easy thing to do, especially when you're criticized often. They do it because they love the town and have a great spirit of volunteerism."

A shame because Matthew Fox as the psychopathic killer is quite outstanding and the film's only saving grace. Tyler Perry adds nothing to the lead and Morgan Freeman who as I understand dropped out would have done a better job but still wouldn't have saved it as the direction and screenplay is so poor. Some of the action scenes are very hard to follow as the camera work is so bad. Quite forgettable but Matthew Fox deserves to be noticed for his effort.

The character studies that follow and the flaws that addiction brings are well portrayed. Without giving too much away Washington completely shoulders the film with one of his dependable performances. Don Cheadle offers solid support also. The action sequences are very well shot and the film is not as predictable as the opening sequences would lead you to believe. A solid movie, well shot and acted and well worth a look.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Southern California man was arrested and nine guns, including rifles and a shotgun, were seized after threats were posted on Facebook against Los Angeles elementary schools.
Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said 24-year-old Kyle Bangayan of Pomona was booked into the downtown jail Sunday for investigation of making criminal threats. He remained in jail with bail set at $500,000.
Police and FBI agents went to the east Hollywood home of Bangayan's father after a resident notified authorities about the threatening postings that referred to the deadly school shootings in Connecticut.
Authorities say that when police and FBI agents arrived at the east Hollywood home, the suspect's father gave permission for a search.
The names of the Los Angeles schools and details about the threats were not immediately released.


text: The town earlier this month was awarded the MassRecycle Municipal Recycling Award for its rubbish and recycling program. Each year, MassRecycle, a statewide nonprofit organization, recognizes a community for displaying innovation and leadership in its recycling and waste-reduction efforts. Reading's program, which was launched in October 2010, was honored for creating additional recycling opportunities; increasing awareness of the benefits of recycling, both for the community and environment; and saving thousands of dollars for residents by eliminating fees for bulk items and reducing them for the disposal of cathode ray television sets. In the initiative's first year, the town saved 92,000 in disposal costs and increased recycling by 40 percent. Town Manager Peter Hechenbleikner credited residents of the community, the Board of Selectmen, and town staff for the success of the program.

FBI Says They're Now Working 24/7 To Investigate Hackers and Network Attacks 74
An anonymous reader writes "The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is finally stepping up its game when it comes to hackers. Maybe it was Anonymous that did it or maybe it was statements from the US Secretary of Defense two weeks ago, but either way, the FBI is now hunting hackers 24/7." I'm happy that the FBI no longer has an investigation schedule when it comes to online crime, but I have to think that I'm not the only one who assumed they were doing this before.

"Theme development is a tedious and difficult task, and for the GTK devs to be so careless in breaking their API at every turn disrespects the many hours people put into making themes for it. [...] I was given to believe that this breakage stems from a Microsoft-like climate of preventing users from customizing their systems, and deliberately breaking the work of others so that your 'brand' is the best. Anytime I hear the word 'brand' being used in Linux, I know something valuable is being poisoned." I find the tone of this one a bit too harsh and overly negative at times, but his point still stands.

RE[4]: Miguel has already spoken about these criticisms.
by silix on Sun 11th Nov 2012 23:07 UTC in reply to "RE[3]: Miguel has already spoken about these criticisms."
He picked THE software in a Linux distribution which has a forward compatible ABI for userspace as the reason why desktops lack stability/compatibility?
you know that a kernel has one ABI facing userspace AND one facing drivers (or in general, modules), right?
and that OTOH userspace applications are all linked against the standard c library which actually implements syscalls - thus effectively decoupled from the kernel - but there's no decoupling layer between drivers and the kernel?
that on the userspace side, keeping the kernel ABI stable is actually unnecessary (as long as the library is updated accordingly when disrupting changes are made) and it's really enough to maintain compatibility at the library level - but it'd be necessary (and a sign of good sw design and development practice - ie compartmentization) on the kernel side (which ironically is the one ever changing)?
now, linux actually got it backwards in this regard (and also wrt desktop IPC...)...
and although users can adapt to the current situation for them to choose between using a certain kernel version OR supporting a certain piece of hw, and risk breakage/regressions (not that there arent any, see aspm..) updating the whole kernel, is a suboptimal situation
De Icaza may have been too far reaching in that sentence, but he wasnt completely wrong...

"Will whoever modded the parent a troll please share his or her logic?"
I did not/would not have modded him troll, but I can guess the simple logic at doing so.
He appears to have the all-too-common opinion that there is no such thing as a profitable but risky opportunity. I teach intro probability and decision making (among other things), and you would not believe how many people reason that, if there is uncertainty, it's "impossible" to make a good decision. The reasoning is "Well, since something bad might happen, you might end up regretting your decision." Ugh. Those are people for whom "probability", "expected value", etc., will forever remain magical, abstract terms with no application in the real world.
Before my rant goes too far off topic, back to the GP, who said:
"It is stock market after all, nobody can guarantee the outcome even with insider news."
So insider information should be ok?! After all, "there are no guarantees"?! Nonsense! And I can imagine there being at least a few mods who would consider it so obvious that this is nonsense, that they modded him troll, thinking there could be no other excuse.
Now I'm the one wondering how he got so many insightful mods!
It may be a violation of something, but not of SEC regulations on inside trading. You see, the idea behind banning inside trading is that insiders have a fiduciary duty to the stockholders. Using inside information for their own benefit, or for that of their friends/family is putting those interests ahead of those of the stockholders and thus ignoring their duty. In this case, the "hacker" wasn
If every single one of us was cashing in on the same opportunity, then nobody would have the advantage. As a result, the profit to be made would eventually average to 0.
Except the "us" referred to computer geeks, not to every actor in the stock market.

Anyway - see this as a lesson to either release your information fast enough to avoid anyone to take advantage or to improve the security of your data. Preferably both.
The catch with inside affairs is that at some point "knowledge" becomes "rumor" and it couldn't be certain that the data he
It does not matter to me that this individual is not an employee, he had benefit of inside information. That should constitute insider trading.
An "insider" is created when someone is entrusted with a power to access information (i.e. by being appointed a director, etc.) and that person abuses that trust for their personal benefit.
In this case, the thief was not entrusted with any power to access information, but rather exploited a technological problem in order to access information and used that information for personal benefit. He didn't breach anyone's trust. He's just stealing information.
Both are wrong, but they are different crimes. The dif
Tell that argumentative Won guy that one who breaks into a system is pretty much de facto not trusted.

The judge's ruling seems pretty reasonable to me. What the hacker did was not insider trading, because he was not an insider, so the various regulations governming insider trading should have been found not to apply here.
Of course, as the judge also noted, that doesn't mean he broke any other laws. A fine equal to the profit he made on the options plus the original cost of buying them in the first place plus the cost of security work to ensure the systems are no longer vulnerable, combined with a jail sentence equal to what would have been handed down to an insider who made the same deal, seem like a fair punishment for the hacking to me.
Of course, as the judge also noted, that doesn't mean he broke any other laws.
Damn, hit Submit in mid-edit. Obviously I meant "...that doesn't mean he didn't break any other laws". Sorry.
Of course, I don't know if there's a law related to profiting from a crime where this took place.
anyone who misappropriates (steals) information from their employer and trades on that information in any stock (not just the employer's stock) is guilty of insider trading
Can anyone explain why this wasn't the case?

You said it yourself, as highlighted above.

Begin bad car analogy. If I break into your car, and get caught, do I have to pay for you to have your locks replaced with higher security locks, a higher security car alarm, more durable windows, and whatever else could conceivably prevent your car from being broken into?
Somehow, this guy broke into the system, which evidently wasn't secure enough as it was. The burden of securing the system falls on the owners of the system. Is there evidence of him breaking into the system? It sounds like it, but
Sorry, I agree that my previous statement does sound overly generic now that I read it again. I didn't mean that the hacker should have to pay for completely new, higher-spec systems to improve security more generally; clearly that is the company's responsibility and should have been done anyway. I just mean the costs incurred as a direct result of this particular breach: after any successful attack, the business is going to incur costs checking out their IT systems to make sure no backdoors have been plant
Well, I'm neither a lawyer nor an accountant, so I can't comment on any professional definition of "insider trading" that may exist, only the lay man's usage of the term. That said, I'd say your examples are all pretty clear, at least from an ethical/common sense perspective.
In (1), an aircraft crashing is clearly public information, and acting because you hear public information first isn't against the rules. (If it were, why would all the traders have news feeds running all the time?)
In (2), assuming
I got it! I got it! Neuromancer, William Gibson, 1984!
Where's my prize?
So, if they manage to convict him of breaking in to the systems, the money he made in the trades will be fair game since it was a result of the break in.
Not exactly. The money he made in the trades was a result of his making an independent act based on information he learned during the break in. There's no direct cause and effect there, since there's an intervening act of free will (he made a stock trade). This is entirely different from a bank robbery, where the money is stolen without an intervening a
Seriously, all share trading works on the basis of one party thinking they know something that either makes a stock worth selling or worth buying. When they are right they make a profit and when wrong they make a loss.
If you don't have any privileged (either by insider or through your own analysis) information, you're effectively just making a bet - you might as well buy a lottery ticket.
If, in a recession, you short the same (and again, ETFs exist that will let you do that without the hassle and risk of actually holding a short position), you will make money, on average.
It's slightly OT but by mentioning the ability to "short" via ETFs, you should also point out to
For instance, SDS (Proshares Ultrashort S&P 500) gained 2.49% this past month versus a 1.69% loss in the S&P 500; SDS should "correspond to twice the inverse daily performance of the S&P 500" (finance.google.com).
Watch out, though - "twice the inverse daily performance" does not translate to "twice the inverse monthly performance" due to the magic of compounding.
For example, suppose the S&P gained 10% one day, and lost 10% the next. That would make for a two-day loss of 1%. But the
Reminds me about a Swedish group called Hack'n'Trade...
I think they meant some other kind of trading though.
"Mr. Dorozhko invested $41,671 in put options that would expire worthless three days later unless IMS shares plunged before that. The next morning the share price did plunge, and Mr. Dorozhko made his money by selling the puts."
I don't understand this. He was buying, waiting for the share price to plunge, and then selling. Doesn't that mean he was selling lower than he bought? How did he make money?
He was not buying the shares, he way buying put options, which basically give you the right to sell ("put") the shares at a predetermined price. If the share price suddenly drops, you can make money by just buying the shares on the open market and exercising your put options (which give you a fixed selling price that is now higher than what you're paying for the shares on the stock market). Alternatively, you can just sell the options themselves, which is less of a hassle.
Welcome to securitie
That this is actually quite appropriate. Since he didn't have any fiduciary duty, the SEC shouldn't take his money away. That said, since it's profit from an illegal act, I would hope that the money would be taken away -- if and when he is convicted for the crime of stealing the data.
Too often in this country we seem to be throwing every law available at people and making up new ones to go with them, when the acts we're trying to punish are already illegal. If he didn't break securities laws, he shouldn't be punished under them. Since he did (we assume, but it hasn't yet been proven) break unauthorized access laws, he should be punished under those.
We don't need more laws against things that are already illegal, and we don't need to make a mockery of existing laws by applying them to things they don't apply to. On a related note, why do we need separate "identity theft" and "atm card fraud" laws, when anyone being charged with them is already also being charged with uttering false instruments and fraud? Our legal code needs to be smaller and simpler; making it so would make it more effective and efficient, not less.

There are only 2 situations here:
Actually, you missed one. The person has legal access to documents because they are publically available.
If I'm right, I think this was a person guessing the file-name of a press release when it was uploaded to a public server when the main page didn't contain a reference to the release. If so, it would make it more difficult to make a criminal conviction - based on sites such as Notpron [deathball.net], I doubt URL rewriting is much of an issue.
This is just a botched prosecution, not a decision with major implications. The attacker is a Ukrainian resident. He could have been prosecuted under some computer crime statute, but that would require investigative resources and cooperation from the State Department and the government of Ukraine.

They didn't expect that an admitted criminal would actively contest a seizure of the m
As soon as he has the info, he cannot trade on it as he is an insider. Simple.
The judge is an idiot.
Yes, the prosecutors messed up. They charged him with insider trading, which has a very specific definition under the law [sec.gov]. In this case the guy doesn't meet any of the requirements to be an insider under the rules. What got him off is probably that he had no help from anyone who was an insider. That's actually a deliberate "loophole" in the law so that, for example, if the CFO is dumb and leaves a copy of his company's next quarterly report on the table at a restaurant a week before it's due to be published

Hi, I've just moved into a new flat and keep finding these beetles, finding 1-2 beetles a day usually in the bedroom. Can someone please help identify them and possibly advise on how to get rid of them? Thanks. They are roughly 6-7mm in length (1cm with antennae)
They are vine weevils. They may be in your house plants if you have any, or coming in from outdoors. They will damage plants (at least the larvae will eat the roots) so they're best killed.
I must say I am curious about these; they are indeed vine weevils but I am unsure what species. If anyone wants to send some in to Max Barclay, Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD I will identify and, because this is my request, I am happy to refund the postage

The 1 1/8-mile Toyota Blue Grass serves as a major steppingstone for the May 5 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1). A total of 19 horses that ran in the Toyota Blue Grass went on to win the Kentucky Derby, with Street Sense in 2007 the most recent.
Temperatures are expected to be in the mid 70s on Saturday.
Hansen will be the first juvenile champion to run in the Toyota Blue Grass since Street Sense, who ran second here before winning the Kentucky Derby in his next start.
Trained by Mike Maker, Hansen returns to the Polytrack surface for the first time since winning the Kentucky Cup Juvenile at Turfway Park in September in his second start.
Following that victory, Hansen won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs to close his 2011 campaign.
Hansen finished second in his 2012 debut in the slop at Gulfstream Park on January 29 in the Holy Bull, but rebounded to win the Gotham (G3) at Aqueduct on March 3 in his most recent start.
Keeneland morning-line maker Mike Battaglia has installed Hansen as the 6-5 morning line favorite for the race. Ramon Dominguez, who has been aboard for Hansen's past three races, has the assignment Saturday in his quest for a first victory in the Toyota Blue Grass. Hansen will break from post position four.
Maker is seeking his second Toyota Blue Grass victory, having saddled Stately Victor to win the race in 2010. Last year, Maker sent out Twinspired, who finished second, beaten a nose, by Brilliant Speed. Maker also will send out Ken and Sarah Ramsey's Gung Ho in Saturday's race.
Co-second choices on the morning line at 6-1 are Donegal Racing's Dullahan, trained by Dale Romans, and Team Valor International's Howe Great, trained by Graham Motion.
A half-brother to 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, Dullahan has won one of seven career starts with that victory coming in last fall's Dixiana Breeders' Futurity (G1) at Keeneland.
Dullahan closed 2011 with a fourth-place finish behind Hansen in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and in his lone start of 2012 finished second behind Howe Great in the Palm Beach (G3) on the turf at Gulfstream Park.
Kent Desormeaux, seeking his first Toyota Blue Grass victory, will ride Dullahan, who will break from post position six.
Howe Great, a winner of four of five career starts, will break from post position 10 under Javier Castellano. In addition to his victory in the Palm Beach, Howe Great opened his 2012 campaign with a front-running victory in the Kitten's Joy at Gulfstream Park.
Fourth choice on the line at 10-1 is John Oxley's Prospective.
Trained by Mark Casse, Prospective enters the Toyota Blue Grass off a victory in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) on March 10. Undefeated in two starts on Polytrack, Prospective will break from post position three and be ridden by Luis Contreras, who is riding in his first Toyota Blue Grass.
The most experienced runner in the field is Raut LLC's Hero of Order, who will be making his 15th start. Start No. 14 shook up the Triple Crown trail on April 1 when he won the Louisiana Derby (G2) at odds of 109-1.
Eddie Martin Jr., who was aboard for that victory, will ride Saturday and exit post position 12 on Hero of Order, who is 12-1 on the morning line.
Hero of Order will be one of two runners in the race for trainer Gennadi Dorochenko. Dorochenko also will send out Russian Greek for Olympia Star Inc. Miguel Mena will ride Russian Greek, 50-1 on the morning line, who drew post position five.
In addition to Maker, two trainers will be trying to secure multiple victories in the race.
Two-time winner Todd Pletcher (Bandini in 2005 and Monba in 2008) will send out Starlight Partners' Heavy Breathing. A 12-1 shot in the line, Heavy Breathing will break from post position one under Corey Lanerie.
Bob Baffert saddled Sinister Minister to win the Toyota Blue Grass in 2006. He is back this year with Arnold Zetcher's Midnight Crooner. Garrett Gomez, who was aboard Sinister Minister for his Toyota Blue Grass triumph, has the call on Midnight Crooner, who will exit post position eight. Midnight Crooner is 15-1 on the morning line.
In addition to Gomez, two other riders will be trying to pad their Toyota Blue Grass resumes.
Edgar Prado, who rides Gung Ho, has won the race three times (Harlan's Holiday in 2002, Peace Rules in 2003 and with Monba) and Joel Rosario, who rides Holy Candy for the Craig Stables and Donkey Island Racing, won the race last year on Brilliant Speed.
Should Rosario win the Toyota Blue Grass in consecutive years, it would match a feat accomplished six times by five riders. In addition to Prado, other riders to win in consecutive years are Bill Shoemaker twice (Tomy Lee, 1959 and Tompion, 1960, plus Lucky Debonair, 1965 and Abe's Hope, 1966); Eddie Arcaro (Correspondent, 1953 and Goyamo 1954); Shane Sellers (Skip Away 1996 and Pulpit 1997) and Mike Smith (Prairie Bayou, 1993 and Holy Bull, 1994).
The complete field for the Toyota Blue Grass with morning line odds from the rail out is as follows: Heavy Breathing (Lanerie, 12-1), Gung Ho (Prado, 30-1), Prospective (Contreras, 10-1), Hansen (Dominguez, 6-5), Russian Greek (Mena, 50-1), Dullahan (Desormeaux, 6-1), Politicallycorrect (Elvis Trujillo, 30-1), Midnight Crooner (Gomez, 15-1), Holy Candy (Rosario, 30-1), Howe Great (Castellano, 6-1), Ever So Lucky (Julien Leparoux, 12-1), Hero of Order (Martin Jr., 12-1) and Scatman (Shaun Bridgmohan, 12-1). All starters will carry 123 pounds.
Six horses in the Toyota Blue Grass field – Dullahan, Ever So Lucky, Heavy Breathing, Hero of Order, Russian Greek and Scatman – are graduates of the Keeneland sales.

Also is there an open source problem here, for instance let us say that MSFT agrees to pay royalites to allow their web browser to continue to work correctly, then the company claims that browsers such as Mozillia must also pay royalities?
I for one commit to paying upwards of 25% of the purchase price of the Mozilla Web Browser to this upstanding Intellectual Property organization.
hardly see the patent holder writing their own browser or selling their own system
I agree that this patent seems to be frivolous.
However, in a world of components, I don't think it is a necessary requirement that a company must be making an end user application to be considered a legitimate entity. There is legitimacy in designing components.
In some regard, the people making components are in greater need of IP protection than the company that packages and sells systems since they do not have the immediate brand awareness. They are totally at the mercy of the company with the brand name.
Just because a component is dependent on another work does not mean that it is illegitimate. The fact that the patent system is protecting components is good in this regard; otherwise the companies selling systems would be able to trounce all over the subcontractors that make the components.
Just because we haven't heard of a company doesn't mean they are not a major player making major contributions.
The purpose of the patent system is to reward innovation, by providing a short-term monopoly. The hope is that this will encourage innovation which would not otherwise occur. But the evidence on software seems to suggest that the innovation is likely to be repeated quickly by others who do not know about the original patent, and so the economic benefit of the innovation may not justify the economic loss caused by creating an artificial monopoly. Indeed, if the patent system makes software development more risky, then it may reduce innovation as well as making the use of new products more expensive.
You would think that since intellectual property protection is so important to Microsoft, they would be more cautious about insuring that nothing they shipped infringed any patents instead of continuing to get caught in these embarassing lawsuits.
The problem is that issuing patents is largely a money making activity for the state. The result is that people can (and have) patented almost every imaginable (and quite a few unimaginable) things.
When the internet became popular, people rushed to patent e
Well there would be one advantage, no more plugins means no more flash.

What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Kind of makes it distinct to plugins, even though if you had the rendering for, say, a gif image in a DLL it may also be using the patent idea..., and there is a control path to the object's implementation to support user interaction with the object..
So if you had a mime encoded document with all parts encoded within the document weather they neaded a plugin or not it would not be covered..where at least some of the object's data is located external to the document..
Wouldn't the same thing apply to "helper applications" then, which are external programs spawned by the browser? That's been around at least since Netscape 1 (way back in 1994 when the patent was filed) and I think it was in Mosaic before that. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm rooting for Microsoft on the appeal.Kind of makes it distinct to plugins, even though if you had the rendering for, say, a gif image in a DLL it may also be using the patent idea.
"Hypermedia" is what we used to call the often proprietary amalgamation of hypertext and multimedia back before Tim Berners-Lee came along and sorted it all out for us. I don't know about how far back prior art on this goes, but I was quite happily embedding dynamic clocks, calenders and such like in a multi-user hypertext authoring system at Liverpool University in the early 90's. Embedded images, sound and even video was *already* old-hat at this point.
It was an in-house developed tool called MUCH (Many Users Creating Hypertext) written in the Andrew toolkit (think a forerunner of GTk/Qt) and running on HP-UX, if you were wondering.
If the patent covers "mechanisms for embedding objects within distributed hypermedia documents, where at least some of the object's data is located external to the document, and there is a control path to the object's implementation to support user interaction with the object" then does OLE also infringe?
Is there really no prior art?
I can give you an instance of prior art from 1991, three years before this patent was even filed. See my post above [slashdot.org] for more.

It's a long time since I used it, and in a LISP environment, of course, there's really nos such concept as a plugin, but there was analogous functionality in NoteCards [virginia.edu].
"There are a number of different node types (over forty), supporting various media. Authors may use LISP commands to customize or create entirely new node types."
I would have thought a NoteCards node type was highly analogous to a mime type, and the 'LISP command' was highly analogous to a plugin.
Microsoft presented several options that it has under consideration, and benefited from constructive discussion of these options. In addition, the meeting participants strongly supported clear communication on this matter [...]
This document was written by Steven R Bratt of the W3C... so no rimshots on how he's a sell out - please...
I think this just might be the beginning of a broader trend (I hope at least)... a trend where Moft starts getting its ass bitten more and more often, and i
While I think that most of the current patents, especially the business practices ones, are against the original spirit of the Patent/Copyright/Trademark laws, as far as I know most of these patents fail the requirements for patents. I seem to recall the following things being required for a patent:
While a lot of these patents are useful, I think they pretty much all fail either the Novelness or Unobviousness requirements. I work for a company that patents hinge designs, for crying out loud! I recall the days that a waterbed patent was denied because waterbeds were described in a Heinlein novel. Aren't the patent checkers aware of not just prior art, but novel and unobvious? (It's like the laser cat toy patent of a previous Slashdot article (please help with link) - sure it might be useful, but any doofus 3 year old knows that if you shine a light on a wall a cat will chase it.)
Rather than just yap about this, why don't we form some kind of task force to fight this nonsense?
I'd be happy to join.
however, if they deny usage rights to m$, a glorious victory of the type that m$ can understand has been won. truly a case of Schumpertarian creative destruction if i have ever seen one.
Very interesting. But he didn't promise anything: he even claimed to be speaking hypothetically.
This could be interpreted as just trying to inflate the value of his patent. "Not only will I screw vast $$$ out of MSFT, I will then also be in a position to auction technical leadership in the browser market to the highest bidder."

one of the answers is interesting.
Q. What is the patented technology that was at issue in the case?
A. The patented technology is a key component of the interactivity available on the Internet today. It allows web page developers to embed interactive programs in Web pages. A browser, equipped with the University of California's patented technology, is able to deliver that interactivity to the user. For example, the technology is used often with stock information, video players, games, virtual real estate tours and other interactive content on the Web. The patent allows the Web to be a platform for fully interactive embedded applications.
Sounds like this has broader implications for the Internet at large which the web community may regret. It is not patenting hyperlinks, but I think it gets close.
If you suspect a man, don't employ him.

well cryo treating cast aluminum improves its resistance to deformation under high temperatures. I've not heard much about its use with cylinder heads, but with cast pistons the gains are great enough that you can run tighter tolerances in some cases.
also maybe some copper head gaskets?
also why not just have the block or the heads decked or make a custom copper head gasket to get you into the mid to low 8's with the 7.7:1 pistons? mid 9's and turbo with a known weak engine like the ea82 just seems like way more trouble than its worth.

Didn't WJM's 9.5:1 wagon run for like 20,000 miles?
The first thing that comes to mind on this issue is that you should remember that anybody who actually builds a high compression EA82T is going to beat the living snot out of their engine.
The second thing that I would be curious about is how many people who have done it started out with NEW or otherwise PERFECT heads and a block that hadn't seen much abuse, which I think would be a requirement to get any longevity out of a hopped up EA engine.

It's straight Subaru. There's no Suzuki in the *real* Justy. Later on they may have used the name, but it's not even close in design. The suzuki 1.0 Liter engine was a SOHC, 6 valve. The Justy uses a 1.2 (or 1.0 JDM) SOHC, 9 valve arrangment. It's a bit more powerful as well due to it's higher performance valve setup.
Posted 08 March 2007 - 11:17 PM
question.....the justy was a 3 cyl correct? how were the valves arrenged per cylinder and is it a flat 3? and how would that work.....wouldn't the engine be unbalanced?

Give them a call, they can certainly make you OEM style cast oversized pistons. Or at least get you in touch with someone who can. RAM doesn't have everything they offer on their website.
Hmm.. I don't think I want to spend 500 bucks on pistons. I was just lookin for some OEM style 7.7:1's

They are targeted towards aviation, so a lot of what they have is for higher performance.
Seems to me though, $500 isn't a bad deal. Subaru pistons go for about $65 (x4 = $260), then $200 for a ring set (= $460). Then RAM will throw in an oil pump and water pump.
Seriously though, give them a call and see what they can do.
Posted 09 March 2007 - 01:12 AM
If EA82 pistons are anything like the EA81 piston I am looking at right now, there is no space for a dish. The crown of the piston is pretty thin.

Posted 09 March 2007 - 12:47 PM
I asked my machinist about this when I dropped of my heads to be surfaced and Vac tested. He seemed to think it would hurt the quench effect and may hurt performance. That is why I started thinkin about custom pistons. The "tub" in a turbo piston is about 6mm deep. I was thinkin if you mill a tub in the NA pistons about 3mm deep you'd be there. The valve relief cuts are about that deep already.
I was looking at my SPFI NA cylinder heads while I had my engine apart, and it seemed to me that you could likely do a bit of cutting in the combustion chamber, maybe open the side away from the spark plug up a little bit into a kidney shape.. this would have two effects, the first being to increase combustion chamber size and lower compression to 8.x, and also it could be done in a careful manner to increase the quench design inherent in the head... which in turn allows for you to run less ignition advance without pinging, and give more power.
I couldn't tell how much could safely be ground away, because I left my valves in and just had the heads decked 0.005 to get them flat.. BUT it seemed like a REALLY viable idea for the entire high comp turbo route...

Two goals in as many first-half minutes saw Arsenal triumph 2-1 over Montpellier in their Champions League opener.
The Ligue 1 champions went ahead through an audacious penalty from Younes Belhanda after just eight minutes, before two goals in as many minutes saw the game switch in the Gunners` favour as first Lukas Podolski and then Gervinho showed good composure to give their side the lead at the break.
Abou Diaby, Vito Mannone and former La Paillade striker Olivier Giroud returned to the Arsenal starting line-up in three changes from the team who comfortably beat Southampton 6-1 at the weekend, as Montpellier made six alterations from the side who lost 3-1 to newly promoted Stade de Reims.
In an intimidating start in the Stade de la Mosson - where the remnants of a multitude of pre-match flares floated menacingly over the pitch - the Champions League debutants were handed a foothold in the game when Thomas Vermaelen`s clumsy challenge upended Belhanda inside the area. The Moroccan international picked himself up and dinked a cheeky penalty past the helpless Mannone for his club`s first goal in the competition.
The lead did not last long - just seven minutes, in fact - as slack defending allowed Santi Cazorla and Giroud to combine and play in Podolski for a neat finish from 16 yards.
And Arsenal took the lead just two minutes later when another fantastically well-worked goal, started and finished by Gervinho as the Ivorian set Carl Jenkinson free down the left before ghosting past more half-hearted defending from the hosts to collect the left-back's low cross and tuck the ball past Geoffrey Jourdren.
Responding impressively after going behind, Arsenal looked dangerous on every building attack whereas, at the other end of the pitch, their French opponents where having to make do with pot-shots from distance, their best effort of the half falling to Marco Estrada`s low drilled effort from 25 yards out that Mannone did well to see around his near post.
Aside from the clever through-ball for Podolski`s equaliser, Giroud was not having the most successful of returns to his old club – much industry but little end product, which was summed up by a twisting run into the area before flashing the shot from 12 yards past the near post in the final action of the first half.
Montpellier came out stronger after the break and were almost gifted another goal when Diaby tried to trick his way out of trouble in his own penalty area and allow Remy Cabella to pinch the ball off him but fire high and wide.
The hosts upped the ante further and again went close when Cabella spotted Mannone off his line and attempted a glorious chip from over 25 yards that thwacked off the deputising goalkeeper`s bar and into touch.
In an attempt to make up for his earlier mishap, Diaby embarked on a surging run just after the hour mark that took him past three Montpellier players before feeding Cazorla for a stinging drive that Jourdren could only push away.
As the game entered the final stages, the French outfit showed the much-needed urgency they lacked throughout the majority of the game and it was that man Belhanda who was the fulcrum.
And that was no more evident than when the attacking midfielder switched the play out to the right before receiving the ball inside the area and skipping past the feet of Per Mertesacker, but he soon had his head in his hands after hitting his shot straight at Mannone from eight yards in his side's best chance of the half as his side`s chances of victory evaporated along with the smoke from those simmering flares.

The Moberly City Council approved $116,632 in bids at their regular meeting on Monday night (July 15).
A total of five bids were accepted, per four different ordinances.
The first ordinance approved by the council gave City Manager Andy Morris authorization to accept the low bid of Moberly Motor Company, for the purchase of a pair of 2013 Ford F-150 half-ton regular cab 4x4 pickup trucks for the Public Utilities Department.
Each truck will cost $19,138, leading to the total bid price of $38,276.
Two bids initially came in for the trucks — the Moberly Motors bid, and a bid from Thomas Motors, the Moberly Chevrolet-Buick-Cadillac-GMC dealership.
Thomas Motors' bid was for $21,972 apiece, on two 2013 4WD, regular cab Chevrolet Silverado work trucks.
Thomas Motors promised delivery of their vehicle in four to six weeks, while Moberly Motors promised six to eight weeks for such within their bid.
Build date of the city's new trucks will be "as soon as possible" noted Dean Miller, of Moberly Motors, within his bid. The vehicles come with a three-year/36,000 mile warranty, plus a five-year/60,000 mile power train warranty.
The council approved the Moberly Motors bid unanimously.
Up next was an ordinance allowing Morris' acceptance of $36,995 in purchases for the Moberly Water Treatment Plant.
HD Supply, of Columbia — one of four entities who sent in prices for the four 16-inch flanged butterfly valves and actuators for the plant — was awarded the bid by the council without dissent.
Also submitting were Val-Matic Municipal Equipment, of Elmhurst, Ill. ($5,850.74 per unit, $23,402.96 total); IPS-Industrial Processing, of North Kansas City, Mo. (6,977.645 per unit, $27,910.58 total); and Hydro Kinetics Corp, of St. Louis, Mo. ($28,261 total).
HD Supply's bid was notable greater than all of the aforementioned — $9,248.75 per unit, leading to the close-to-$37,000 total extended price.
Moberly Public Utilities Director Keith Phipps noted when called up before the council that the HD bid was "not the lowest, but the best bid," because the parts fit best with what was used prior at the plant.
Five properties were bid out for demolition by the city at Monday's meeting, between two companies.
D&L Trenching was awarded the bid for the property located at 400 S. Clark Street, at a total price of $4,000 ($3,000 for the property demolition, and $1,000 for the cutting down of a dead tree at that locale).
"There is...a large dead tree on the north side of the property between the public sidewalk and the street curb," Moberly Code Enforcement Officer Steve Wilson noted within the letter sent out regarding the properties up for demolition. D&L is being asked to "[remove]...the entire tree with the stump cut as low as possible to the grade of the ground."
The Clark Street property, itself, is a "two-story wood frame on a full masonry basement," Wilson states. "The bid is to include the removal of the concrete steps and the sidewalk leading to the public sidewalk and all shrubbery around the footprint of the house."
Phil Wilson was given the other four properties on the list. They are as follows:
• 909 W. Rollins Street ($3,800): S. Wilson notes this property is also a two-story wood frame structure, but is sits on "a brick masonry full basement."
The property contains "exterior asbestos siding materials," he says.
The bid includes "removal of the concrete front steps and the sidewalk leading to the public sidewalk, two clothesline posts in the rear yard, and all of the shrubbery, brushes, etc. around the perimeter of the house."
• 615 Adams Street ($5,200): Another two-story wood frame on a brick masonry full basement. The private sidewalks; steps leading to the public sidewalk; and all shrubbery, bushes, etc. around the perimeter of the house are to be removed.
This property also has exterior asbestos siding, S. Wilson says.
"The exterior siding is considered to be category II asbestos containing material," he notes in the bid. "All siding materials must be removed by hand prior to the demolition of the structure and must be removed in a manner to prevent or minimalize breakage of the siding. All siding material must be placed in an on-site dedicated and lined dumpster."
• 117 Hurley Street ($1,800): This property is a one-story wood frame on a crawl space foundation. The bid includes removal of all concrete steps and sidewalks around the house and leading to the public sidewalk.
There are two "accessory structures," as well as a chain link fence around the perimeter of the property, which are not to be demolished as part of the bid.
The chain link fence "around the footprint of the house" can be removed during demolition if needed, the bid states, as can "a section of the east fence along Polston St." for access to the area, if it is re-hung on its metal posts.
• and 809 Concannon ($1,450): This is also a one-story wood frame structure over a crawl space foundation. The bid includes removal of the concrete steps and sidewalk leading to the public sidewalk, and a pile of debris and carpet in the back yard.
Finally, the council approved $25,111 bid from JCC Lot Striping for the 2013 Street Striping Project.
Per the bid advertisement, published one time in the MMI on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, the project includes "painting bike lanes, street striping, parking stalls, and cross walks for various streets within the City of Moberly."
Two bids came in to the city for the project.
Remole's Coatings LLC, of Excello, Mo., bid out the project for $33,083.25.
Burnett Lot Striping LLC DBA JC Lot Striping LLC, of Jefferson City, was the winning bid, mentioned above.
The project, itself, is quite expansive, covering 42,927 feet of broken yellow road striping, 17,554 feet of solid yellow road striping, 21,144 fet of solid white road striping, 4,120 feet of double yellow road striping, 20 arrows, 29 stop bars, 26 crosswalks (measuring 7,717 feet), 317 nine-foot hazard areas (measuring a total of 1,535 feet) near Gratz Brown at McKinsey, 259 four-foot hazard areas (measuring 1,037 feet) near Gratz Brown at Urbandale, 587 feet of hazard area near Gratz Brown at Kwix, 47 parallel parking lines, eight markings of "BIKE LANE ONLY" near Gratz Brown, 14 markings of "ONLY BIKE" from Johnson to Concannon, seven markings of "ONLY BIKE" on S. Williams, seven additional "BIKE ONLY" emblems, 86 feet of four-inch yellow curb lines, 65 feet of six-inch white curb bumpers stripes, and two "ADA stalls at MJC on College Ave."
$116.6K in bids accepted
The Moberly City Council approved $116,632 in bids at their regular meeting on Monday night (July 15).

"We truly appreciate the California Transportation Commission allocating these bond funds for the Baldwin Avenue project," said ACE Board Chairman David Gutierrez, a city of San Gabriel Councilman. "This project will eliminate a congested and hazardous roadway-railroad crossing on a busy thoroughfare, which connects the 10 and 210 freeways."
The $80.5 million project calls for constructing a double-track railroad bridge over a four-lane depressed roadway on Baldwin Avenue between Rose Avenue and Gidley Street. Bessie Avenue will end in cul-de-sacs with a new pedestrian bridge built across Baldwin Avenue. Baldwin Avenue is used by 28,000 vehicles a day, including substantial truck traffic, which are blocked when crossing gates are down for 14 freight trains per day and six passenger trains per week.
The project will eliminate the at-grade crossing, the potential for train-vehicle collisions, delays for emergency responders and reduce emissions and locomotive horn and crossing gate noise. Project spending is projected to create 1,370 full-time equivalent jobs. The Federal Railroad Administration has recorded two train-vehicle collisions at the crossing in the past 10 years.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Sickle Cell Disease: Dactylitis (Hand-Foot Syndrome)
Dactylitis is severe pain that affects the bones of the
hands, the feet, or both. It's often the first symptom of
sickle cell disease in babies.
Dactylitis is caused by blocked blood
circulation. Symptoms include extreme pain and tenderness, usually with
swelling. An episode may last 1 to 4 weeks.
Your child's doctor will likely suggest pain relievers and ask you to make sure your child is getting plenty of fluids. Although it is painful, dactylitis does not damage your child's body.

Relieving symptoms of sinus congestion, sinus pressure, runny nose, and sneezing due to colds, upper respiratory infections, and allergies. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Duotan suspension is an antihistamine and decongestant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The decongestant promotes sinus and nasal drainage, relieving congestion and pressure.
Do NOT use Duotan suspension if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Duotan suspension
- you have severe high blood pressure, severe heart blood vessel disease, a rapid heartbeat, or severe heart problems
- you take sodium oxybate (GHB) or you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Duotan suspension:
Some medical conditions may interact with Duotan suspension. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

- if you have a fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat
- if you have a history of asthma, lung problems (eg, emphysema), adrenal gland problems (eg, adrenal gland tumor), heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart blood vessel problems, stroke, glaucoma, a blockage of your stomach or intestines, ulcers, a blockage of your bladder, trouble urinating, an enlarged prostate or other prostate problems, seizures, or an overactive thyroid
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Duotan suspension. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (eg, tolcapone), furazolidone, indomethacin, MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), sodium oxybate (GHB), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of Duotan suspension's side effects
- Digoxin or droxidopa because the risk of irregular heartbeat or heart attack may be increased
- Bromocriptine or hydantoins (eg, phenytoin) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Duotan suspension

Keith Casey has posted a review of the php|architect book "PHP Design Patterns" by Jason Sweat to his blog today.
Diving into the book itself, Jason covers 16 Design Patterns. He covers the basic ones like the dreaded and horribly abused and misused Singleton to the more advanced Active Record and Table Data Gateway. While he covers all of them to a good depth, there are a number that deserve special mention.
These "mentionables" include the Strategy, Observer and Mock Object patterns - all three Jason covers well with some good examples included. Overall, he found the book good, but needing some work in some areas (like in updated code samples).

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- With just five days to go before the Presidential Election... The winner is still in doubt. But there is one certainty our next Vice President used the Greater Rockford Airport Today.
Thursday Morning Republican VP candidate Congressman Paul Ryan flew out of Rockford after going trick-or-treating with his kids in Janesville Wednesday night. We also found out that Ryan and his family have used RFD several times in the past for family vacations to Denver. And Thursday night Vice President Joe Biden flew into Rockford. The VP then drove off in a motorcade headed towards Beloit for an event Friday morning at Aldrich Middle School.
BELOIT (WIFR) -- Just days before the November election, the Vice President of the United States gets ready to make a stop in the Stateline.
Vice President Joe Biden will be speaking in front of students and community members at Aldrich Middle School in Beloit tomorrow morning.
Today, the school is getting ready. The welcome sign is already up and crews are setting up the staging area in the schools' gym.
Cable and lighting equipment cover the gym floor, but it will all be ready in time for Biden's visit. Beloit police officers are also helping out. They'll help patrol traffic as the motorcade moves throughout the city. One Beloit man who has a ticket to the event, says he can't wait.
"I just think it's really exciting for Beloit when political candidates come to town and i think no matter what people's opinions are they should go check it out," said Alexander Catalan.
Biden is also expected to make another stop somewhere in the city, however police tell me they don't know where yet, so that will make security a little more difficult.
23 News will be in Beloit covering Biden's visit and we'll have the full story tomorrow. Meantime you may recall, Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney also made a stop in Rock County a few months ago. He spoke at the Monterey Mills plant in Janesville back in June.

University Chancellor and senior academic named among Australia's most influential women
18 October 2013
University of Sydney Chancellor Belinda Hutchinson and Professor of Employment Relations Marian Baird were last night named among Australia's most influential women, winning their categories in the Australian Financial Review and Westpac Group 100 Women of Influence awards.
The awards, selected by an eminent judging panel from more than 500 entrants, recognise the depth of female leadership talent across Australia in 10 categories: Board/Management, Innovation, Public Policy, Business Entrepreneur, Diversity, Young Leader, Global, Social Enterprise, Not-for-profit/Philanthropy and Local/Regional.
Ms Hutchinson was named the most influential woman in the Board/Management category, while Professor Baird won in the Public Policy category.
The awards were announced by Westpac Chief Executive Gail Kelly and Fairfax Media Chief Greg Hywood at a gala dinner in Sydney.
Dr Michael Spence, Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Sydney said the recognition of two members of the University community was a significant honour.
"We're delighted that the panel has acknowledged these two brilliant women from the University of Sydney, and I congratulate them on the well-deserved recognition of their leadership in the wider community."
The Australian Financial Review described Ms Hutchinson as one of Australia's leading women in business.
"Her role as chairman of insurer QBE makes Hutchinson arguably the most successful female boardroom operator in Australia," the paper said.
"She is one of only a few females chairing one of the ASX's top 20 companies, overseeing a company that operates in 46 countries with more than 75 per cent of its business overseas."
A graduate of the University of Sydney, Ms Hutchinson was appointed the 18th Chancellor of the University of Sydney in February 2013. Along with chairing QBE Insurance Group, she is a director of St Vincent's Health Australia, AGL Energy, the Salvation Army Eastern Territory Advisory Board, Australian Philanthropic Services, NSW State Library Foundation, and a member of the Federal Government Financial Services Advisory Council. She is also the President of Chief Executive Women, a member-based organisation comprising of 240 of Australia's women leaders.
Ms Hutchinson holds a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Sydney and was a recipient of a University Alumni Award in 2012.
Professor Marian Baird, Professor of Employment Relations, Acting Chair of the Discipline of Work and Organisational Studies and Director of the Women and Work Research Group at the University of Sydney Business School, was recognised in the Public Policy category as one of Australia's leading voices in the fields of women, work and family.
"If you are enjoying some paid time off after you have a child, thank Baird," the Australian Financial Review reported.
"She has been described as the 'intellectual firepower' behind the campaign that resulted in the creation of the national paid scheme in 2011 and encouraged Prime Minister Tony Abbott to offer his own scheme."
Professor Baird decided to pursue extensive research in the fields of women, work and family after having been frustrated by her personal experience of losing entitlements every time she shifted jobs to follow her husband or care for her children.
Since then, she has received a number of Australian Research Council and federal and state government grants to study maternity and parental leave, flexibility for working parents, women and the global financial crisis, mature age workers and low paid workers, gender equitable organisational change and work and family in regional Australia. She is widely published in Australia and internationally.
"The University of Sydney Business School is delighted to see Professor Baird's work acknowledged in this way," said Co-Dean Professor David Grant.
"Professor Baird has made a significant contribution to public policy in a way that has greatly improved the work and home life of many thousands of Australian women and their family members."

Carl Beam
01 Jan 2013 - 24 Feb 2013
Thunder Bay Art Gallery
Deeply engaged in Anishinabek traditions, Carl Beam (1943-2005) is renowned for his photography and collage in an aesthetic more akin to the expressive layering of Rauschenberg than the traditional forms of Anishinabek "Woodland School" painters.
In 1986, he became the first artist of Native ancestry to have his work purchased by the National Gallery of Canada as contemporary art, thus opening the door for a generation of Native artists to enter.
The exhibition features approximately 50 of Beam's most remarkable works from his three decades career and illustrates the wide-ranging physicality of his work, from his large-scale paintings, to his ceramics, constructions, and videotapes.

Brenden Morrow scores 2 goals and the Penguins topple the Panthers 3-1NHL.com @NHL
SUNRISE, Fla. - Brenden Morrow scored two goals to lift the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
Kris Letang also scored for Pittsburgh and Marc-Andre Fleury made 25 saves. Morrow also had an assist.
Pittsburgh centre Evgeni Malkin missed the game with an upper body injury. The Penguins were also without Sidney Crosby, who is out indefinitely with a broken jaw.
The Penguins won for the 19th time in 21 games. The Panthers have lost three of their past four.
Scottie Upshall scored for Florida and Jacob Markstrom stopped 19 shots.
Trailing 2-0, the Panthers closed to 2-1 on a goal by Upshall in the second. After his initial shot was blocked, Upshall charged the net and was able to poke in the rebound at 4:10.
Morrow added an empty-netter with 21 seconds left.
Pittsburgh scored two goals in the first period.
The Penguins took a 1-0 lead on Letang's goal. Morrow brought the puck out from behind the net to Beau Bennett, who passed from the right circle out to Letang. His slap shot from just inside the blue line got past Markstrom at 14:49.
Morrow's first goal of the game gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead. He poked the puck from behind the goal line at the side of the net and it bounced off Markstrom and across the goal line at 18:27.
According to STATS, the Penguins are 24-13-5 since 2008 without both Crosby and Malkin in the lineup.
Notes: This season the Penguins are 15-4 when either Malkin or Crosby are out of the game. ... Panthers D Mike Weaver returned after missing 20 games with a lower body injury. ... F Peter Mueller, who didn't travel to Winnipeg for Thursday's game due to the pending birth of his baby, started Saturday's game.

NEW YORK (AP) - McDonald's says it will reach out to a man widely quoted in accounts of the three women who were found in Cleveland after they went missing about a decade ago.
Charles Ramsey, who lives in the neighborhood where the women were found, noted in an interview with a local TV station that he was eating McDonald's when the scene unfolded Monday. He also made note of his meal in a 911 call. Both the interview and the 911 call went viral online.
On Tuesday, the world's biggest hamburger company said on Twitter: "We salute the courage of Ohio kidnap victims & respect their privacy. Way to go Charles Ramsey - we'll be in touch."
Representatives for McDonald's, based in Oak Brook, Ill., did not immediately return calls for comment.

It's been a frustrating month on the diet with me hitting a jaggedy plateau around the 86.5kg mark. But I am pleased to say that this has stiffened rather than dampened my resolve and I've upped the exercise and cut out the booze and things seem to be heading in the right direction again. And I am feeling really good.
This afternoon I went out for a run and buoyed by taking a few minutes off my usual time on the last run I decided to push myself a bit and managed to take a further 8 minutes off my 2014 personal best. I did the whole thing in 65 minutes (it was taking me 80 in January) which is, as far as I recall, about the time it was taking me to do this back in 2004. And I had found the pace comfortable and enjoyable. That's more or less 11km meaning my 10k time would be around about the hour mark (I think I did my one competitive 10k run in about 53 minutes in 2004). So amazingly I am not far off being as good at running as the 36 year old me (or Me:36 as I call him, the colon is all important in differentiating him from Me36, still waiting in the wings for his turn on the snooker board). I weighed the same at bedtime as I did in the morning, a surefire indication that tomorrow my weight will drop and I should get to the 10kg (22 pounds) lost since the 1st January mark, which is brilliant. I still have the determination to carry on and fortuitously I think I might be doing a feature in a magazine where they give me a personal trainer and a proscribed diet for six weeks, which should really help jettison more flab.
This is the fittest I have been since 2008 when I think I got to around about 82kg in August, before cracking my rib and not being able to exercise any more. But my next goal is to be under 85kg by the end of the month, which should be achievable with or without a personal trainer.
I am young again and I will never die. That is what I learned today.
The real secret of this kind of weight loss of course is to get stupidly fat in the first place. I put a lot of work into that in 2013 and I am proud of that achievement. But I have always felt that those slimmer of the year competitions are a bit unfair because they are really rewarding someone for getting ludicrously overweight. At least, without that bit they wouldn't be in any position to lose 15 stone, unless they were prepared to die and be cremated. Why give a prize to the person who has let things go so badly that they have got to 30 stone, rather than to the person who maintains a healthy weight their whole life? Or at least acknowledge this at the prize-giving. Here's a trophy for turning things around, but here's a good slap in the face for allowing yourself to get this out of shape in the first place.
I know how easy it is to let things get out of hand and that in reality weight gain comes down to a lot of factors. But in my case I deserve a slap in the face for letting things go so badly and whilst I feel very happy to have reversed the trend and be feeling full of life again, I don't really deserve any compliments for allowing myself to get so out of shape in the first place.
Will I manage to keep it off this time? And will I hit my 31st December target of 72kg? Maybe and no are the answers to those questions.
Last year I was questioning if I'd ever do my between-the-bridges run again and now I am doing it with ease and at a decent pace. Old age is creeping up on me, but I am planning to outrun it for as long as I can.
Today's Metro column seemed to hit a chord. The column is moving to Wednesday from next week.
